when I exit the room after I set the music, it goes back to default. Is there any way to fix this?

Maybe, I haven’t decided yet (finding enough fitting music for AB+ was hard enough).

Will this be updated for Rep, by any chance?

Of course anyone mentions Paper Mario and this happens.

(2/2) Paper Jam was basically the opposite; the gameplay was the most refined out of the entire M&L series, but everything else was lackluster. The visuals weren't as expressive as some of the earlier games, there were basically no original characters, Toads were shoved everywhere, and the story was an extension of "Bowser kidnaps Peach again". As a result, it felt like the worst M&L game despite the great battle system.

Color Splash just feels like a slap in the face. It's *technically* a little better than Sticker Star, but the fact that they basically said "You know all those things everyone hated about the last game? Let's do them again and not try to fix anything" and patted themselves on the back for it makes it one of my most hated Nintendo games ever. It's like Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts; it's not a terrible game on its own, but the amount of wasted potential and complete lack of self-awareness from the developers is what makes it so frustrating.

@Nerdy (1/2) As much as I like traditional RPG mechanics when done right, and as much as I feel like the badge system is integral to the gameplay, I feel like Paper Mario is defined less by the gameplay and more by things like characters, writing/story, and overall ambition.

SPM's gameplay was a bit weak compared to its predecessors (and the difficulty was a joke), but everything else made up for it. Memorable new characters with charming dialogue, great music, interesting visuals, and arguably one of the best stories of any Nintendo game. And though the gameplay could get bland at times, you can tell they were trying to be creative with the 3D flipping and multiple characters.

@GateGuy Yeah, I think the Paper Mario series is beyond saving, which is really sad, because TTYD is one of the best RPGs ever, 64 was really good too, and Super Paper Mario was also very nice.

Super Paper Mario was really different, and sometimes kinda tedious, *cough* *cough* The block puzzle in the Cragnon World thing, the fruit trees in Chapter 7...
But it definitely had its high points.

Sticker Star is...a game.

Color Splash is where it started to get really bad. I did really like the graphics, it looked just like how I would have imagined a Paper Mario game when I played TTYD for the first time.
And that's where the good things end.

Paper Jam is the only good thing about Alpha Dream shutting down. But then again, Alpha Dream made one of the best RPG series I've ever played, just behind the MOTHER series, and Paper Mario not far behind.

My expectations are really low for Origami King, but hopefully it can recapture the charm from the first 3 games.

@Nerdy Yeah, that's the joke. I love the first three Paper Mario games, but Sticker Star and Color Splash are just... bad. And they feel so different as a whole that I'd hardly consider them part of the same series. Origami King looks like it'll at least be okay, but it still feels like "new Paper Mario".

All 3 Paper Mario games? Aren't there 5? (6 if you count Paper Jam)
Paper Mario 64, Thousand Year Door, Super Paper Mario, Sticker Star, Color Splash. (And also Origami King, but this mod was released before that game was announced)
To be fair, Sticker Star and Color Splash ♥♥♥♥ anyway, so you got the 3 good Paper Mario games.

I would love this and have the soundtrack mod but every time I press F10 in game to bring up the mod menu, a menu does appear but there is no soundtrack option. I have tried disabling and reenabling but nothing changes.

Actually, looks like that was a bug on my end. Nevermind.

I love this mod, but the music resets every time you enter a room. Really annoying as lots of the songs you pick have decently long intros.

A really well done mod. I love the Paper Mario OST and this does what it's supposed to. Amazing job!
