[Spoilers for Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.] After all these years chapter 6 (The Excess Express) is still my favourite (hexbear.net)

I should HATE this chapter. There's a lot of running back and fourth and it's mostly fetch quests, and yet ... I love the Excess Express.

Maybe it's just the cosiness of the train? I've always wanted to take a several days long trip on a train like that. Maybe it's they mystery? It's pretty good and Pennington is adorable.

Maybe it's the boss of the area being a horrible eldrich monster? Smorg is pretty neat.

Could be I just like Murder on the Orient Express and this chapter is one big reference to that.

Anyway, this game is as cute as I remember, even though it's aged some and some of the music remixes lack the umph of the originals.

The whodunit on a train is a winning combination, and in the best written Mario game ever, even moreso.
