First of all please stop hating on the game, but it's your opinion. I'm going to share my thoughts. First, now every game has to be a Paper Mario 64, Thousand Year Door I don't get the hype because it does so little to be called a "sequel" however people see Sticker Star on of the worst Mario games because of a few things. First is not unique, ok look not every game has to hit a home run don't hate on a game for doing that, sure it's not a Paper Mario, sort of thing, but just trying to drift from a series doesn't mean you knock on it. Second is no partners, first of all people don't hype partners anyways, second is that why does it need it it's not like a serious core gameplay element, sure having partners is useful, it only works in battle and outside of battle, there's no need to use them besides like 2 secrets. Third reason people don't like this game because the level design/story. I can assure you 75% of video games have the same story has Sticker Star, why knock Sticker Star out of all of them, and the level design, I'm pretty sure people are talking about the environment of worlds, because comparing Sticker Star and Thousand Year Door, you just go straight there's no difference, in fact Sticker Star has splitting paths so you can go else where, where as Thousand Year Door most of the time doesn't have that. While I do like Thousand Year Door better than Sticker Star should more recognition, please. Edit the battle system people don't like it because it's not fun and a waste of stickers, bruh you get a bunch of coins anyways to get more stickers, and it's satisfying destroying your emimes.
