The Shadow queen was a great boss but Waaaaaay too easy.

So Cackletta
What are ya talkin' about? I was going to say I liked the Shadow Queen because she was a challenge, and that Cackletta was easy compared to her. Well, the first time they're all challenges, right? Then the next time they're easier.

I beat the Shadow Queen the 5th time I faced her on level 24 I think..........so she wasn't too hard. Bowser in PM was WAAAAAAY too easy. I haven't lost to him since I beat him way back when. I guess the hardest boss would have to be Bonetail. 'Cause I've never gotten to him!

General Shy Guy really was one of the easiest bosses in Paper Mario. He was also a fave. I liked the way he talked and I humored him.

General Guy isn't the villian of Paper Mario. He is simply a follower of the villian Bowser.

Yes, which is why I'm baffled that anyone would've fallen for that. I still don't get how people get fooled by things on April Fool's Day; any time I EVER hear/see any news or account of someone on that day, I am ALWAYS skeptical (excluding the actual news, like, on TV and in the paper, which I am equally skeptical or believing on any other day of the year).

I voted Shadow Queen. The whole situation in and leading up to her was pure awesomeness. I also really liked Princess Shroob; something about what happens (which I won't say, as to spoil) made the situation really unexpected, although there was vague foreshadowing...

I voted for Bowser. You can't go wrong with Bowser as a villian, even if he is (becoming) the "comic relief" kind of villian, in most of the Mario rpg games these days.

Remember how awesome Bowser was in Paper Mario 64? I bet nobody else would've thought to steal the Starrod and ruining the world with his/her own devious wishes.

I really liked all the other choices though (except for Princess Shroob, as I have not played PiT), as they are all very unique in their own.. unique.. ways. (-_-;)
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

I didnt pick princess shroob because the story leading up to the point had no or little logic.
i. e. babys and adults meeting, time travel(some exceptions), mushroom kingdom being destroyed in past but not in present

I've never seen, let alone played, Wario Land 4, so I'm sorry I fell for that with out knowing.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

mushroom kingdom being destroyed in past but not in present

This whole part of the story is an example of a predestination paradox. They were destined to travel back in time to save the adult Princess and get rid of the Shroobs at some point, so during the time period after Princess Shroob was defeated and before the Present era, the kingdom was rebuilt and all damage caused by the Shroobs repaired (which is why the Past kingdom is destroyed but the Present kingdom is all right). If Mario and Luigi never went to the Past to help their younger selves, the Past would carry on to the Present, and so the Kingdom would've still been ruled by Shroobs!

Complicated, isn't it? Yes, and this just another thing that should be discussed in Mariology instead of here...

Spoilers end here.
