It's sad to see so many replies to this are people thinking that every game ever made is either a F2P time sink or costs $70-$80. There is a plethora of phenomenal games at lower price points that people only ignore because they aren't being produced by billion dollar companies

In the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Goombella is peculiarly replaced by Kersti from Paper Mario: Sticker Star. This is likely because Sticker Star is Miyamoto's favourite Mario game according to a 2012 Iwata Asks interview.
