Abstract: This isn't so much a sequel to the 2012's Paper Mario: Sticker Star as it is a do-over with a fresh lick of paint - and that's likely to leave some Nintendo fans as mad as a sack of Wigglers. To many observers Sticker Star was the weak link in the Paper M...
Beautiful papercraft visuals, Charming, often funny writing
Simplified mechanics will not appease RPG fans
Paper Mario: Color Splash is an odd hybrid of a game. In light of the diverging “Paper Mario” and “Mario & Luigi” sub-franchises, which both evolved out of Super Mario RPG, it's a very clear extension of games that came before it. An RPG-lite/adventure ga...
Lovable 2D characters and papercraft worlds, Smart and imaginative puzzles, Surprisingly funny dialogue, Fantastic jazz and ragtime score
Gameplay can be lightweight and repetitive, Can leave you stuck because you missed a detail
It won't do much for those crying out for a proper Mario adventure on Wii U, but Paper Mario: Color Splash is a lively cocktail of Mario, RPG and papercraft puzzle-solving with funny dialogue and a surreal, self-aware sense of humour. It won't be for ever...

Brilliant animation, in cutscenes and in-game, Genuinely funny moments in the dialogue
The game thinks you're stupid and over-explains everything, Way, way too much talking, Some levels are really, really boring to play
It's tough to know what to say about Paper Mario: Color Splash, because most of this review so far has been negative. It isn't a bad game, it's just a game that can't possibly match up to what the series once was. Nintendo has taken the series in a direc...

Paper Mario: Color Splash makes some mistakes that prevent it from being one of the iconic plumber's best role-playing outings, but its level of creativity, wit, and overall charm is irresistible, resulting in a very entertaining time...
Abstract: Say what you will about Sticker Star — no, really, we should get that out of the way. If anything could be said about the last time we saw Paper Mario in full form, it's that audiences were divided on the outcome. The series took a hard left from its Thou...

Abstract: Paper Mario: Sticker Star was a good direction for the Paper Mario series. Sure, it was polarizing for some, but it made for a good risk/reward system and a fun game.Now, the Wii U Paper Mario: Color Splash has taken everything that made the 3DS game good...
