Top 10 Reasons to Hate Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

The Top Ten
1 The Game is Too Overrated

It is a good game, but the backtracking, the obnoxious stage gimmicks, the excruciatingly long cut scene before Shadow Queen every. Single. Time. you die, and so many other problems are completely ignored by everybody who says it is great. The main reasons are always its story, its characters, how emotional it is, and things like that, which are all good reasons to like it, but people treat it like the greatest game ever. These comments are a great example of that. Even the original for the N64 is leaps and bounds more fun, and less of a chore to play.

This is the best game of all time. I can't understand why anyone would hate it. It is original, emotional, fun, engaging, and absolutely amazing. If it was the highest rated game of all time, it would still be deserved. I understand people have personal tastes, but how anyone could say this is a bad game is astounding. It is perfect beyond comprehension (aside from a little backtracking now and then).

It can't be. Around 91% of people like this game, so therefore, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is overrated.

I think 89% of people like the OG Paper Mario, 84% of people like the underrated Super Paper Mario & 57% of people like Sticker Star.

Well, considering how so many people seem to hate it... overrated? As Inigo Montoya said:
You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means

2 Princess Peach, Her Voice, Her Horrible Nature, Her Cowardice & What She Let Happen to Her

It's not that big of a deal! Yes Peach is a bit annoying, but her voice could not be less important, she didn't just let things happened to her and actually helped Mario out with TEC in her current situation, and these complaints really don't affect the game's quality at all! Hate TTYD for a legitimate reason if you don't like it, and both SPM advocates and TTYD advocates need to try to understand what the other side is saying and why they love it so much! Don't trash a game for stupid reasons! I love both immensely but TTYD is my favorite game of all time with SPM being pretty close behind, please respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.

This has to be the stupidest "reason" to hate a game, was this list made by some jobless 40 year old basement dwelling neckbeards? Because the fact that this is #1 really convinces me that it was.

I don't care that she wasn't voiced by Leslie Swan! I didn't play th game to listen to Princess Peach's voice!

I think the Shadow Queen battle is the best Paper Mario battle ever! Also the list sucks.

3 The Graphics

Not the worst thing about TTYD, but still good. They look too colonial and unfinished, though.

Of course this was the gamecube. What were you expecting a fully fledged gaming pc?

This entire list triggers me so hard.

This list was made by a troll!

4 The Plot, Characters, Music & Storyline

Ok...everyone will have different opinions, but these 4 things to me are the BEST parts of this game! Also, these four aspects were just thrown together, and there's no reason to make them all one reason to hate this game. This game is so much more thought-out and original than most other Mario games, so if you hate this, then you will have a hard time finding one that's much better (and yes, I KNOW people will say Super Paper Mario at least on this list, but I love that game too so I don't need it to be forced upon me). A lot of people like The Thousand Year Door, and if you don't then that's fine, but at least try to understand why so many people do: mostly for these four aspects.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is much better than Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door!

Those four things are what make the game good you idiots!

Lol is this a best or worst list

5 The Places & Names Overall
6 People Compare it to Super Paper Mario Then Say It's Much Better

I'm sorry... but... Huh? I think it's quite obvious that TTYD is better than Super. It's all based on opinions, but from the viewpoint of anyone who has played the series, Super is inferior.

I disagree, I think they are equally great games, just complain about sticker star, no story and it's watered down, sticker star is the disapointment.

This should be top 1! Seriously, this game sucks & will never be any better than Super Paper Mario.

No they don't! All I see is you people shoving Super Paper Mario down our throats!

7 The Fanbase
8 The Game Is On a Generation Era of (Gaming) Console
9 The Chapters

The OG Paper Mario has much better chapters than TTYD! That game was a disgrace which ruined everything from the original.

10 Yellow-Haired Female Characters

Thousand year Door is my favorite, but when I saw this, I just had to vote for it

Gee, I wonder who? Hmm..

Idiot Peach Hater

The Contenders
11 Princess Daisy Not Being In This Game

What the hell is up with everyone who wants Daisy in the Paper Mario series? I see it in every list about "Why Paper Mario sucks". The only main series game she's ever been in is Super Mario Land.

Daisy Sucks So Much I Gave Rosalina Credit For Being better, DAISY SUCKS!

12 Princess Peach's Voice

Bowser has a much better voice than this.

Worst voice in gaming, ever!

13 The Game Is Unoriginal

WHAT? The first three Paper Mario games are practically the most original Mario games out there, along with the other Mario RPGs (not Sticker Star, since it was very basic despite not being terrible like most people say). The music, gameplay, and especially bosses and locations are at least as original as the other Paper Mario games, if not more. So have personal preferences all you want, just don't say the game isn't original when that isn't even really an opinion statement ad isn't true.

Most unoriginal Paper Mario game by far, even more unoriginal than Sticker Star

This Game Isn't More Unoriginal Than Sticker Star!

14 Frustrating Gameplay

Seriously? It's JUST like the original! We are not forcing you guys to like this game we are just saying why WE like this game! It seems as though you guys are forcing us to like Super Paper Mario! Well I love Super Paper Mario but Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is my favorite Paper Mario game! Does that SERIOUSLY impact your life in anyway?

15 It Is the Highest Rated Paper Mario Game

How does this make it a bad game? Others liking or disliking a game should have absolutely NO EFFECT on your enjoyment of the game. If you hate it, fine, and if you love it, fine, just do so for an actual reason and give it a chance!

Super Paper Mario should be the highest-rated Paper Mario game.

The original Paper Mario should nonetheless come in second place.

Justin Bieber: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is crap!

Super Paper Mario is the best Paper Mario game for the reasons I spam.
Paper Mario is my second favorite.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door comes in the middle.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam comes in fourth.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star - James Rolfe: This game... IS CRAP!

Super Paper Mario rocks! I like TTYD, but Super Paper Mario is a groundbreaker & much more creative.

16 Fangs
17 It Was Released in the Sixth Generation Era of Gaming

What the hell does this even have to do with the game being good/bad? Practically all the best games came out in this generation.

18 Scratchpad
19 When Princess Peach wears a ponytail after her shower, she takes it off after she leaves the bathroom

Best reason out of all of these my opinion is now changed forever

20 The Game Is With Low Definition
21 The Title

The title seems fine to me. It relates to the plot and is important, since the Thousand-Year Door is the center of everything related to the Crystal Stars and it being opened causes the world to almost end. To me, it's a cool title, and it is the only Paper Mario game with an interesting title other than just generic Mario stuff (except for Sticker Star, but that title isn't that great to me at least).

"Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door"?! Always use a full sentence, Nintendo!

So now your judging this by its title?!? That's like judging a boom by its conver!

There isn't even an 1,000 year old door

22 The Setting
23 It Never Make Sense

How so? It made sense to me. If anything, Super Paper Mario had a more complex and weird story, but I got it too and absolutely loved it also. As for the gameplay, TTYD made a lot of sense and had very fun but simple mechanics.

You know what? If Peach had been voiced by leslie Swan, you would be sining the praises for this game! I just know it!

Yeah! That Could Be True Or You Would Just Be Too Stupid To Understand It.

Why do you care if a Mario game makes sense?

24 It's For The GameCube

So this game is bad just because it's for GameCube?

Best console to be honest

25 Its Super Mario Kun adaptation
