What Suffix said. I refuse to believe Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario are part of the same series. My main reason being the dramatic change in HP and damage. There may be timed attacks and FP and jumping, but something strikes me as drastically different between the two. Besides the visual style and moving to N64.
However, I like some of the little touches in Paper Mario like how Mario occasionally trips into battle or Mario in a thinking pose when selecting a move in battle. And I can't resist Kooper for an ally. Put a bandanna-scarf-thing on anything and they instantly become my favorites. What is that bandanna-scarf thing called anyway, to distinguish it from scarves and head bandannas?
I'm pretty sure at one point in my life I asked myself whether a Yoshi was "the" Yoshi, or if Yoshi had any relatives. Although I know there are different colored Yoshis, one Yoshi is shown so much that I still think of there being one true Yoshi (even if he changes appearance). I also wondered whether there were female Yoshis.
My argument for female Yoshis? That Mario Party 1, on the Tropical Island board, had a blue and pink Yoshi. I thought I saw eyelashes on the pink Yoshi, but it was my imagination. Plus, the pink Yoshi in Yoshi's Story has the second-highest voice (white Yoshi had the highest, which I correctly predicted). But I'm sure if I talked with any Mario fan, they'd quickly debunk my theories. Doesn't stop my belief that female Yoshis exist, since I used to be a fan of LunaYoshi's artwork which was mostly Yoshi fanart: males, females, Pokemon crossovers, X-Files crossovers, etc. I stopped going there once her artstyle noticeably matured and the Yoshis changed appearance. Regardless what I think of other artwork, Yoshis should look like Yoshis darn it!
I used to believe Ice Age was by Dreamworks. Then I looked and saw a company I never heard of, "Blue Sky".
