Paper thin game. It’s exactly like color splash it traded paint with confetti and coins still replace rpg mechanics. I’m starting to think nintendo is making a lot more money to make these games terrible. I was hoping this game would have exp, partners, fp, bp and other things that make the paper mario games great but just like sticker star there is very little characters and any type of meaningful interaction or gameplay. It didn’t have any of those things that made the original paper mario fun. It’s not only the fact that it’s a boring and felt like I was forcing myself to play it, it’s that these are the exact same mistakes the developers of sticker star, color splash, and super paper Mario made. They’re just not good games at all. It feels like you have to force yourself to play it because there is no progression there is no gaining anything throughout the game except those STUPID freaking collectible items that are essentially useless to gameplay and only take up time. Please nintendo make a paper mario game that is an rpg and make it better than thousand year door. Until then... RIP Paper Mario - 2004
