Paper Mario: Sticker Star
About the Game
After the unconventional side-scrolling and 2D platforming that was Super Paper Mario , the Paper Mario series returns to its roots in Paper Mario: Sticker Star ...at least when it comes to overworld movement. In the first handheld title in the subseries, the citizens of Decalburg are celebrating the Mushroom Kingdom's national holiday the Sticker Fest, where everyone gathers together at night to watch the Sticker Comet descend to the planet, which happens annually. Legend states that the Sticker Comet grants everyone's wishes, and Princess Peach is on stage to present it to Mario and some Toads. But Bowser Crashes the party and attempts to steal the comet.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The free combat seen in Super Paper Mario is abandoned in favor of encounters like those seen in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door . However, battles are different: attacks and defensive moves are now done via stickers (such as jump and hammer stickers) that vary in power. There is also the "Paperization" ability. Another new addition is the Sticker Museum, where players must place every kind of sticker, both battle and Thing, to complete.
Standout Features
- Mario: If something doesn't look right, such as an upside-down background, Mario can turn the screen into an image and peel the object off like a sticker and turn it to the correct angle.
