I was implying that the series started out with a storybook theme where the game is separated in chapters that each have their own miniplot and characters in them. Even though the name changed the importance of story and fleshed out characters didn't... Until Sticker Star.
Also, what the fuck does Donkey Kong have anything to do with this conversation?
EDIT: Also I never said anything about wanting Paper Mario series to be "hardcore". I'm just talking about story here. I don't care if they change the gameplay, that's not what I'm talking about! From the beginning Paper Mario was designed with begginers in mind. I knew this.
