The first games in the Mario and Luigi and Paper Mario series I know nothing about. Sorry.
The second games both had you collecting something, only for it to end badly. Partners in Time had you collecting the Cobalt Star shards which would lead to Elder Princess Shroob. The Thousand Year Door had the Crystal Stars, which would lead you to a dark, evil place, and the Shadow Queen.
The third games both had Bowser playable, and involved someone sacrificing themselves. Fawful blew himself up to finally defeat the Mario Bros. Tippi and Count Bleck sacrificed themselves to save the world and to be together.
The fourth games in the series introduced something that made the games different from the others. Dream Team introduced a brand new art style and gyroscope controls (which was also rage-inducing). Sticker Star introduced a lack of story (whyyyy?), a new battle system with stickers, and I would say better graphics but that happens with every game in the series.

In every Mario Rpg since TTyD (excluding sticker star for obvious reasons) have had the true main villain being different than the initial villain
-in TTYD x nauts seem to be the main enemy. Beldam is actually behind the scenes
-in PiT it was revevaled that younger princess Shroob was a "red herring" and older shroob was the true villain
-in SPM had the Dimentio thing.
- in BiS while not a behind the scenes villain, dark star can be seen as the true main threat in the game. Fawful still stays as one of the main threats
- and dt had the infamous Bowser betrays Antasma thing
3rd World and 4th World are okay in Sticker Star. 2nd World made everybody quit though, so most will never see any good parts.
Good observations guys. These games all seem to rely on some of the same plot twists and turns, it seems.
I did like how in PIT and Thousand-Year Door, both games had you collecting items which would actually lead to a bad event. PIT had the Cobalt Star which held the Elder Princess Shroob and Thousand-Year Door had the Crystal Stars leading to a dark palace filled with evil.
I completely forgot about the Crystal Stars! Well, then again, the only time I played it was at my friends. Those two worlds have more charm than all of Sticker Star and has enough charm to be 4th. That's saying something huge.
Falcon Boy, that is something we wish to forget. Bad! *hits with newspaper*
Sticker Star only has a few brief moments of charm. Cameos are the best part and the Enigmansion. Almost all of these games have some kind of haunted area that is awesome.
Paper Mario - Boo Mansion, Boo Valley, Forever Forest
Thousand-Year Door - Creepy Steeple, Twilight Town, Twilight Trail

Both SPM and BIS's final bosses are basically a combination of a villain talking weirdly, a world ending artifact and a main mario character who is more featured in it (Super Dimentio is Dimentio+Chaos heart+Luigi, Dark Bowser is Fawful+Dark Star+Bowser's DNA), additionaly both villains attempt one last suicide attack in an attempt to kill their ennemies.

All of the games have shops to buy stuff at. Like seriously. If you look hard enough you may notice them all!
Good points, once again. In fact, we could even predict the next game I bet if we studied all of these aspects. We know they like collecting objects like Star Shards or Crystal Stars. They like hard optional bosses. They like Twist villains. Tons of stuff.

It will (you'll be surprised but the game did sold well) which is also what annoy me because they will probably think it work and we will get Sticker Star 2.
At least Mario & Luigi developpers seem to pay attention to the fandom (otherwise Fawful, Popple, Kylie Koopa and the shroobs wouldn't had come back), so we could expect at least Antasma and the Massif Bros to come back.
Still it's a bit too bad because while Paper mario actually get some aknowledgement and nods to other games, Nintendo seem to like making Mario & Luigi games then pretending that they don't exist :/
Paper Bower, with eight new Bowser partners, collecting Crystal Bowser Stars to break the seal of the Bowser-Year Door to reveal Bowser Palace, which holds terrible run on sentences and King Bowser!

10/10, would buy it:P
I have also heard that Lord Bowser & Lady Bowser marry themselve (talk about narcissism:P) to stop Jester Bowser and the Bowser's heart from destroying Bowser's world.
Craziness aka stuff what usually happens on the boards
Basically this. We never stay on topic for very long before we start talking about everything else, usually not even related to the topic. We are pretty lax on this stuff. Never fear. This is quite normal.

Don't worry, I'm also used to this elsewhere, I usually just say that.
