Well we don't really talk about super paper mario anymore since the site was founded about five years ago. I do wish you luck on your attempts at the pit of trials, haven't played the game in several years myself so I can't offer you more advice other than grind until your level is high enough. Also everyone here hates banjo, except francis who doesn't like anyone here and is more like an umpire.
Yep, we discussed the SPM movie a while ago.
