You cant, it's been raped past death.

if a lot of people buy that bug game that copied paper mario i gues nintendo might take notice

Killing it

Less DUDE PAPER LMAO

Wasn't Color Splash meant to be a return to form for the series?

but that was one of the best parts of TTYD, the "paper" thing was actually used properly and wasn't too excessive or obnoxious

so less "DUDE PAPER LMAO"

It's too late. It's over.

This desu. The 'Paper' title wasn't a thing in Japan for PM64, only came from the fact that the character models were 2D sprites that rotated on the 3D plane, so Western localisers just ran with Paper Mario as the title. TTYD mildly expanded on that with the curses, but not making it a staple part of the theme.

Then Sticker Star and Color Splash came along and ruined it all by making the series some weird subgenre about arts and crafts.

Kill Shigeru Miyamoto

This. He's responsible for restricting everything down to non-ambitious platformers. I just want a new Super Mario RPG game that's not made for babies

Hell, I’d be happy with a PM64 or TTYD port for the Switch

Wrong, Miyamoto didn't fuck Paper Mario. IS did.
All Miyamoto wanted was for Sticker Star to only have original Mario characters. This was perfectly reasonable considering Paper Mario 64 fucking did that. Intelligent Systems had a lot to work with, there are a ton of underused original Mario characters they could've used. King Bob-Omb, the Koopalings, Petey Piranha, if we're going enemies we've got Chargin' Chucks, Bullies, those chucksters in Super Mario 64. They had a lot of shit they could've used, instead they went for the most bland possible storyline, and shit gameplay to boot.
Literally the only good part of Sticker Star was the CONCEPT of Gooper Blooper since they were expanding on a boss from Sunshine with kino music, and even that got buttfucked by the shit sticker battles. Color Splash was a step in the right direction by using the Koopalings but it still had shit, uninspired gameplay.

>Paper Mario Bros
>takes place in Sarasaland, lots of new characters and enemies
>gameplay is like 64/TTYD but with Luigi as your partner
>you can use bro moves that consume FP and take advantage of the paper aesthetic
>A and B for each button, just like the M&L games
>Luigi can speak while Mario is mute, meaning no Starlow ish obnoxious character

what game?

Can't. Japan loves it the way it is now, and they don't give a fuck what the US likes.

Make it an actual RPG again.

Remakes of the first two for PC
