9. Brobot (Super)
It’s tough to decide which Paper Mario title is the funniest of all, but the Wii’s Super Paper Mario is definitely a strong contender.
Your first encounter with the villainous Mr. L — whose true identity is about as mysterious as Hulk Hogan’s unfortunate stint as Mr. America — ends in short order, because as usual, Intelligent Systems gives the green guy absolutely no love.
He then ups the ante by summoning his mechanical “brother”, a garish flying device known as the Brobot.
The pun itself is worthy of a top 10 spot, yet the unique style in which this fight takes place is what really seals the deal. Mario takes to the stars atop the tiny alien Squirps, dodging missiles and pelting Mr. L and the Brobot with projectiles of his own.
It evokes memories of the Tatanga dogfight of yesteryear, just much better because you’re fighting an enemy called the friggin’ Brobot, dude.
