Honestamente la idea de Paper Mario es única y le da un giro a las conocidas aventuras de Mario. Disfruté mucho del Paper Mario del 64 y del GameCube (el cual considero el mejor); la versión para Wii fue buena pero comenzó a dejar de lado algunos detalles que las anteriores entregas tenían.No negaré que extraño algunas funciones, como el tener compañeros de aventura, pero a pesar de ello debo decir que Color Splash mantiene el ambiente que ha estado teniendo este universo de papel. La historia es entretenida, algunos diálogos y referencias son graciosos, y los comandos muy sencillos. La atmósfera del juego es única y los detalles a cada aspecto de los diversos escenarios son bastante llamativos. Al principio parece que la dificultad no es gran cosa, pero conforme avanzas te das cuenta que los enemigos se vuelven más fuertes y necesitarás mejores estrategias para ganar.Lo único malo es que no tiene la opción de guardar varias partidas, por lo que si quieres volver a empezar tendrás que borrar la que tienes y por ende todo tu progreso, una mala jugada por parte de Nintendo. Sin duda un Paper Mario muy diferente, pero vale la pena jugarlo y explorarlo al 100%.

Pros:* Funny and entertaining dialogue.* Levels/stages keep you interested by occasional doing something completely different (haunted house mystery, game show, cooking battle, etc.)* Graphics look great for the art style being used.Cons:* Bad, boring and repetitive game play.* Boring overall plot.* All NPCs are generic Toads.* Lots of wasted potential.* Not the RPG we all want.Overall:Worth playing, but I would not pay full price for it in retrospect.

I'm very happy with this game. The artwork is colorful and fun! The storyline is interesting and not linear (which is different for a mario game). The dialogue is also a little funny. It not an overly difficult game but I like that. Gamers who want more of a challenge might be bored.

One of the worst games I've ever played. I wish there were a rating lower than 1 star. Has great potential, but Nintendo managed to ruin it with an absolutely awful battle system. For EVERY single attack you make, you have to do 5 interactions with the touch screen. You have to press and slide to select a card, tap to acknowledge that the card you literally just selected is the one you want, press and hold to paint the card, tap to acknowledge you're done painting, and finally swipe upwards to initiate the attack. If you're battling 3 bad guys that each need 2 hits, you get to do this 6 times. This would be bad enough on a decent touchscreen, but on the low quality touchscreen of the Wii U it is even worse. Makes the game unplayable. Nintendo please stop trying to "innovate" with pointless systems that add nothing to these games and go back to the formula that worked with Thousand Year Door.

Love the game, if you're in it for the quirkyness and not for the RPG fighting (If I wanted an in depth fighting system i'd look for a real JRPG), then you'll love the game. It's beautiful, bright, has a fantastic soundtrack and is perfect for winding down. Cracking jokes left and right, references you'll get if you're into mainstream pop culture or just played a lot of video games. There's a little something for everyone. I definitely recommend it

If you are a fan of the Mario style games then this is one you need to have in your collection. It is a massive world to explore with excitement and a challenge, but yet not so hard that you give up because you can not go forward. They have added real world elements to the game that make for some interesting and entertaining cut scenes. The only negative I can say is that this is only a one player game.

The follow-up to the divisive Paper Mario Sticker Star is here, and defying all expectations, Paper Mario Color Splash is a must-own for Wii U owners. Its wit and charm are second to none, and it has some great mechanics. While it has certainly deviated from its origins on the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube, this game really stands on its own.The story is pretty basic. Prism Island is an island in the Mario universe whose color is being sucked away (in some cases, literally being sucked away by Shy Guys with straws). The culprits are Bowser and the 7 Koopalings, and it's up to Paper Mario and the sentient paint can Huey to save Prism Island.However, it is not the overarching story that serves as the main draw in this game. Rather, it's the brilliant little moments throughout the more narrow story beats. For example, at one point relatively early in the game, there is a particularly brave-sounding Toad who intends to set sail on an adventure to the ends of the world. Shortly thereafter, you find that he has become shipwrecked pretty close to the harbor from which he set off on his quest. A group of other Toads are standing on the pier making fun of him. Mario saves him by placing a gigantic fan behind him to blow him back to solid ground, and the gigantic fan rises up from the ocean in appropriately epic fashion. There is another moment where a Toad is hosting a game show on a beach, but it turns out he is scamming people because he cheats, and when Mario and Huey call him out on it, he gives up... but insists they cannot tell anyone. These are two simple examples of the sorts of humorous moments throughout the game.One of Paper Mario's greatest successes, then, is its localization. People craving a localized release of Mother 3 should really turn their attention to this title. Nintendo's Treehouse localization team did an incredible job with the writing. There are a lot of games that attempt to be funny, from big-budget titles like Borderlands to a host of indie games. However, very few companies can nail the tongue-in-cheek tone of the humor in some of Nintendo's titles, and I would hold up Paper Mario Color Splash as a perfect example of localization done right.The gameplay in Paper Mario is different from prior titles in the series. Paper Mario and Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, on the N64 and GameCube, respectively, were more traditional RPGs. Super Paper Mario became much more of an action game, and Paper Mario Sticker Star introduced something resembling a card battle system. Color Splash uses a straight-up card battle system, but it does it very effectively. People who suggest this game is Sticker Star 2 in an effort to insult it are mistaken; this game is very much an improvement over the formula in the often-derided Sticker Star. In combat, you can select a card. Some cards are painted, others are not. Cards consist of allies (Koopa Troopas, Shy Guys, etc. who will fight for you until defeated or until the battle ends), attacks, items, and special moves. If you elect to paint an unpainted card, it will amplify that card's move's power.***Pro Tip: Hidden in the options menu is an option to change the mechanics to permit both buttons and touch controls. Choose that option so instead of having to touch the Wii U GamePad's touch screen during every. single. battle., you can just press the A button and push up on the D-pad or the stick. It makes battles a lot quicker.***One criticism is that bosses are more puzzle-based than they test your skills. There are items in the world that you can make into cards. These items will one-shot bosses, so the test is more in finding them and knowing to use the items than in displaying a degree of combat prowess. It is also noteworthy that there is not an experience system in this game. You "level up" by increasing your HP and paint capacity and by finding stronger cards. The emphasis in this game is much more on the environmental puzzles and exploration. Combat is just another puzzle to be solved in many cases, but beating enemies in combat is helpful for purposes of increasing your paint capacity and HP. Because enemies are on the world map, most combat encounters can theoretically be avoided, but battles are generally quick and painless.Speaking of painless, the game is pretty easy. Some of the puzzles are really good and well-designed, but a player with any fundamental understanding of basic RPG gameplay is unlikely to struggle at all. My counter to the difficulty issue is that it the game succeeds on its merits with its smart writing and fun gameplay.The world map is pretty big, but this most certainly is not an open-world RPG. Actually, this game is best described as the Paper Mario version of Super Mario 3D world in a lot of ways. Each area is called a "course," and your goal is to collect a star from the course. Upon doing to, you have completed the course and will be sent out to the map. There will usually be more than one star in each course, so you will have to return and go for the other star(s) you missed the first time. In that sense, this game is very reminiscent of recent 3D Mario series outings. To advance the overall plot, you generally have to collect stars and put certain events into motion, often by interacting with and assisting NPCs. Additionally, the paint mechanics play a huge role, as one might expect. All throughout the world, there are spots that require repainting, so you can hit them with your hammer and Mario will paint them. Certain flowers and other foliage will release paint when struck by the hammer, and that will refill your paint supply. Completionists will love the fact that there is a percentage counter for each course that shows how much of the course has been repainted, so players can go back into the courses and find the elusive spots that need repainting. It's an entirely optional activity, but one which adds to the overall package.Finally, Paper Mario is a very aesthetically pleasing game. From a visual perspective, this is probably the high water mark for the series. The paper cutout characters all look perfect, and there is a lot of subtle lighting which makes the characters look even more like physical pieces of paper. The graphics are very bright and colorful, and the game is a very cheerful, pleasant game to behold. Likewise, the music is excellent. Like other recent Nintendo first party games, the soundtrack is also mostly live music, which makes a difference. There are the expected arrangements of certain Mario series mainstays, but the original music is also highly enjoyable and always fitting.Those who were hoping for Color Splash to return the Paper Mario series to its RPG-centric roots will, frankly, be disappointed. However, I would recommend not dismissing this game for increasingly distancing itself from its beginnings. Paper Mario's history has shown a willingness to depart from established formulas. The series began as "Super Mario RPG 2" on the Nintendo 64, but its development and the introduction of the paper aesthetics and gameplay gave it a very unique identity. Color Splash is a game that encourages exploration of its environments and interaction with its characters. I started this review praising the localization, and I want to end on that note. This is one of the best-written, funniest games available today. If its subtle, sarcastic, and ironic sense of humor is appealing to you, there is a lot to love for this game. Wii U owners are all too familiar with the overall lack of games on the console. I'm pleased to say that if this is one of the final first party Wii U games, at least it is ending the console's life on a high note. Color Splash is different from Paper Mario 64 and Thousand Year Door, but different does not always necessarily mean that it is inferior. Color Splash is a great game in general. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
