An Imaginative Paper Mario Adventure with a Sticky Twist

A sticky situation has never been so fun. There's trouble afoot in the town of Decalburg, where the devious Bowser has disrupted the beloved Sticker Fest by causing the Sticker Comet to explode. Now Royal Stickers and pieces of the comet have been flung far and wide, and it's up to Mario and his ally Kersti to set things right by recovering them. This captivating handheld adventure will have new and experienced fans of the Paper Mario series captivated as they navigate colorful 3D environments, defeat enemies, collect oodles of stickers and items, and use them in a variety of fun ways.

Key Game Features

Stickers are the key to this imaginative adventure. Battles are turn-based like in the original Paper Mario game, but instead of an attack menu, Mario whomps on his enemies using a sticker to attack. Stickers not only serve as Mario's attacks, but also help solve puzzles throughout the Paper Mario universe when placed in the correct spots. Stickers can be found and collected from all corners of the world, and the flashier the sticker, the more powerful it is.
Mario can also spend coins to use the Battle Spinner, which lets him use up to 3 stickers in one turn if the icons are lined up just right. The Battle Spinner can turn the tide in a difficult battle, so collecting coins through the game to use it is crucial.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star players get stronger by beating bosses, finding items and completing side missions for other characters in the game instead of accumulating experience points.
As players progress through the game, they'll find and use more powerful stickers to boost Mario's attack power. Players can also find HP-Up hearts to further boost Mario's maximum health.
The environments in Paper Mario: Sticker Star come to life in this visually-stunning papercraft world on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. They also contain a wide range of objects such as electric fans, scissors and radiators that can be converted into more stickers, which can then be used to solve puzzles or win battles as Mario maneuvers through each level.

So yes.... this is not quite your father's Paper Mario. But it is a Paper Mario nonetheless. Most of the complaints I saw were just involving the collection and use of stickers. Saying it took away from the classic Mario formula and so on and so forth. But other classics like Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart CERTAINLY was not in the style of classic Mario either. Yet they are widely loved parts of the Mario franchise. I was thrilled to pick this up at a decent price to re-add to my DS/3DS games collection. The seller shipped promptly and the game runs just as good as new. If you have never played this title, I would STRONGLY urge that you get it and see what I am talking about.

A Simple Yet Engrossing Adventure

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

First, you should know I've never played any of the previous installments in this series, so I can't compare it to the other games. Paper Mario: Sticker Star is a turn-based action/adventure game. The story follows Mario as he collects the six Royal Stickers that Bowser has scattered across the world; it packs plenty of humorous and warm-hearted moments, and plenty of quirky/hilarious dialogue, especially from the Toads. Although the story is very basic in typical Mario style, the gameplay is really engaging.

The gameplay is very simple, and easy to pick-up-and-play. You move with the circle pad, jump with A, use your hammer with B, paperize with Y, and open your sticker book with X (or by tapping the touchscreen); when you paperize, you can set stickers and scraps down on to the world, so this feature is mostly used to solve puzzles. The combat is turn-based; you attack using 1-3 of the many different sticker types you collect, you can even use special stickers like scissors or a fan. Collecting and organizing your stickers is the really engrossing part of the gameplay. From basic stomp stickers to shiny shells, there are plenty of stickers with plenty of different effects to collect. Therefore, this is closer to a turn-based strategy game than an RPG.

The graphics are great; the paper environments and character models are easy on the eyes and often charming. Also, there are plenty of environments to visit like the deserts or the snow, so that adds some variety. I don't often play with the 3D effect on, but I did test it out for this review. The 3D effectively adds depth into the environment and the cutscenes try to show it off by throwing toads or flying enemies to the player often. It looks great when new characters/villains are introduced and when you pull/collect stickers, but it doesn't really benefit the gameplay significantly.

The music is great, and very enchanting like most Nintendo games. It's hard to explain, but if has that Mario music vibe; as in, as soon as you hear it, you know it's from a Mario game. The music definitely adds to the amazingly charming atmosphere this game creates because it changes as you change environments. A major plus from me because of the music.

Although it has a simple story and easy yet addicting gameplay, there are some puzzles that may require some extra assistance (i.e. Strategy guides). I've had to look for help probably two or three times after looking for the answer myself for a long enough time. It doesn't hurt the game too badly, but it's worth noting. Also, the gameplay gets a little repetitive if you play for too long (as it does with most games), and some of the worlds/subworlds feel too similar to each other; again, this isn't too bad of a problem if you don't play for extended amounts of time.

I have played the game for about 4 hours and have been playing in World 2 for a while. There are apparently 6 worlds in this game, so, at my pace, I'm not really worried about the game's overall length. It should last at least 20, or more, hours, but I will return to this review to update with my final game time when I complete it, regardless.

Overall, I've really enjoyed Paper Mario: Sticker Star so far. The gameplay is addicting and keeps you moving forward, and the worlds are fun and unique. Although I would love to play a RPG Mario game, this game works extremely well with the turn-based combat. I haven't ran into any glitches or bugs, either.

Gorgeous 3D, but lacking in other areas ~

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013

First of all, this game is fun. Don't get me wrong! But I can point exactly to a couple of major problems with the game that reduce the appeal in my estimation. Mainly the lack of RPG elements gets in the way of an otherwise enjoyable experience. Here is why:

There are battle encounters. But since the only real benefit to battles is acquiring coins, you really don't need to fight the baddies. Add to this the fact that coins are mostly used to buy stickers to use in battle... see where this is going? You might be thinking you need some stickers for the boss battles, but really you can find these stickers scattered around. So really, one could spend the entire game avoiding battles for the most part. I feel that if there was some sort of RPG style growth (as in the other Mario RPG / Paper Mario games) then this would have been more complete. Perhaps some way to grow or power up stickers or attack. Or add more pages that way? I'm sure something could have been figured out.

But regardless, the exploration factor is great. Granted, there are some issues with the exploration, such as very easy puzzles that really don't add anything to replay. But the environments are gorgeous in the very 'Mario' genre style. Getting around is fun, and I actually found myself looking forward to seeing the next areas. The world is divided into 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and so on, but within these 'stages' there is free exploration.

To sum it up, this is a mild puzzle / exploration game with a few light RPG elements. You find or buy stickers which you use to attack enemies. The battles can be interesting thanks to some clever designs (example - the pointy goombas cannot be stomped, so use hammer or fire flower or shell - or battles when one koopa troopa is in front of several goombas then you can stomp the troopa and kick its shell into the goombas).

Really a fun game. It lacks replay because once you figure it all out, playing through again becomes a chore of just completing the same puzzles over again. But great for at least one play through. Not a great successor to the Mario RPG franchise (Mario RPG -> Paper Mario). But an interesting game nonetheless.

Pros:
+ Great 3D, gorgeous graphics
+ Good soundtrack, catchy Mario style tunes
+ Humor - it's as funny as the rest of the Mario RPG / Paper Mario games
+ Lots of exploration and hidden areas
+ Some fun classic Mario elements and designs

Cons:
- Lacks RPG elements
- Lacks depth and replay
- Collecting stickers to use in battle becomes dull
- Easy to avoid the majority of enemies with no penalty

Este producto es toda una decepción, no es de la seria de Paper Mario, es un Super con estilo de Paper.
El juego llego tarde, y además no era el correcto.
El servicio a cliente es de lo mejor, me dieron la opción de cambio o devolución de forma rápida.
Mejoré mi proceso para comprar juegos; Jamas comprar un juego sin antes ver el gamplay en Youtube o similar, INCLUSO SI EL NOMBRE ES FAMILIAR.

Nunca tuve problemas con mis compras en Amazon, pero esta vez ha sido la peor experiencia de compra en línea, me enviaron únicamente la caja abierta, SIN EL CARTUCHO DEL VIDEOJUEGO, ya inicié el proceso de devolución, espero respondan por esto y no pongan excusas. Cabe aclarar que no fue obra de la empresa de paquetería ya que el sobre estaba completamente cerrado por lo que fue personal de Amazon quien extrajo (robó) el juego.
