Close enough, OB1, close enough...
And as for CDs vs. carts, both have advantages. Load times were Nintendo's main reason for using carts in the N64 and given how slow 1x or 2x CD-ROM drives are, they had a very good point. And I like how N64 games have no loading... so I can't criticize them very hard for making that choice. It also means the N64 can run quieter and look nicer... now these days of course CDs are fast, etc, so they are the obvious choice. And yes, CD soundtracks and voices in games are nice additions you get as a result of CDs... and I like such features, certainly... eh, I don't know.
As for Paper Mario, the N64 game still looks fantastic.
