Ready to spoil the first half-hour of gameplay in Super Paper Mario? Advanced Media Network has a video showing the first 30 minutes of the game. Most of it is the opening story sequence and subsequent mini-tutorials that show you the ropes, but it's a good way to see just how cool the game looks/sounds. The only problem with watching the video is that when you get the game, you have to sit through it all over again. Nintendo has a bad habit of coddling you through gameplay, and experiencing it twice is definitely not on my to-do list.

Super Paper Mario hits stores in North America on April 9. Be ready!
