The Great and Powerful Trixie will try to use her magic to defeat a more powerful enemy than an Ursa Minor. She was confronted by the Shadow Queen herself. Trixie wants to battle her, and the Shadow Queen accepts. Trixie has a very special partner that can handle the Shadow Queen.
Shadow Queen
HP 150
I never said I was judging the entire genre. I was just comparing the two games. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
In some RPG character have 9999 hp, in some 50. You shouldn’t put all RPG and games into one box.
In Paper Mario 2, Shadow Queen have 150 hp while bonetail have 200 hp. In Overwatch, Shadow Queen would be a boss with over 3000 hp and quite a lot of shields and armor thanks to her final form (which protects her from damage unless you use 7 crystal stars to your advantage).
If you would make Shadow Queen a normal character, she would either be a tank/damager type with slow movements but strong spells and lots of shields and armor. Or she would be damager/support with low hp, but with strong offensive spells and some spells that supports your alies.
In this case however, Trixie and Tracer are doomed.
