Would Super Paper Mario have worked better as a 3DS game?

I think it would have to be honest. The very core of the game is the dimension flipping between 2D and 3D, and I think the stereoscopic 3D functionality of the 3DS could have made finding where to go into the third dimension much easier due to showing depth better.

And I think there's probably quite a lot of other stuff in the game that'd look quite good in real 3D, like some of the boss battles and effects.

Would Super Paper Mario have been better as a 3DS game in your opinion?
 
Maybe. But even if it WAS on the 3DS, it'd still be my least favourite Paper Mario game in terms of gameplay. If Nintendo had brought back the turn-based battle system it would be second by just a little bit. So the 'no-battle-system' gameplay would've pushed it back regardless of what console it was on.

And personally I have always thought that the second Paper Mario game (The Thousand Year Door) was the best of the three for a DS/3DS release, since what could the Touch Screen be used for besides menus? I'll tell you: Interacting with that one rotten X-Naut in the crowd that was about to be responsible for throwing a rock and causing a chain reaction.
 
I've never played Paper Mario, but I think you're right. Would probably remove the annoying thing of switching between 3D and 2D.
 
Now that I think of it, yeah. It would've been. But I would prefer the original Paper Mario. Though, what about Tippi's Tattle ability where you point the Wiimote against the motion sensor? How would've that worked out? Maybe a little feature you can touch on the 3DS's touch screen perhaps?

I think it would've been pretty cool to see it in the 3DS; the 3D switches especially are well-suited for it. I'm fine with it being on the Wii, though, and in general I'm happy with how it was done.
 
I wish it would have been a gamecube game like it was supposed to be! then mabe we would have an rpg wii one
