Argh. Not true at all. The SMRPG battle wasn't much better than Paper Mario's. If I had to pick one or the other to be better, I'd pick SMRPG's battle music, but neither one was pretty good.
And right now I'd like to add that all three don't have
memorable battle music. I had to check midi files just to remember what the battle music sounded like. And since I'm not going all the way to the basement and setting up all the gamecube crap just to hear the Paper Mario: TTYD battle music, all I can tell you is that while the violin Mario music riff at the beginning was fun at first, it became really annoying after hearing it more than once. And while we're on the subject, M&L:SS had really poor battle music.
But that's just the battle music. Paper Mario excelled in some music. Most of it was kinda screechy, the worst offenders being the Toad Town music, Flower Fields, or Shy Guy's Toy Box. Goomba Road/Pleasant path was a bit bad in the screech department, but I thought it was a good song. The same holds true for Bowser's music. Paper Mario 2 didn't even use the same Bowser and Peach music, even though both of them were so much better in Paper Mario 1.
And then there were the awesome sound tracks. Tutankoopa's battle music, the Crystal Palace, every track associated with Tubba Blubba, and Mt. Rugged. Paper Mario 2 had some great songs, but few as great as these.
The second Paper Mario had some awesome tracks, but dismissing the first just because of some Flower Fields crap really isn't fair.
