The newest chapter of the Paper Mario story isn’t just out of this world…it’s out of this dimension! What at first glance appears to be a 2-D sidescroller ripped straight from the stylized pages of the Paper Mario universe soon turns into a hilarious dimension-shifting platformer possible only on Wii! 2-D…AND 3-D! Run through vibrant 2-D worlds, stomping on enemies and breaking blocks….then, with the press of a button, flip into 3-D! In the 3rd dimension, you’ll find hidden paths, battle foes, and uncover secrets as you explore the previously invisible depth of the 2-D landscapes! Unique Wii controls! Hold the Wii Remote sideways and control the game in classic Super Mario Bros. style! You can shake the Wii Remote to pull off stylish moves and break out of frigid ice and even point directly at the screen to get helpful hints from your sidekick. Not only that, but you’ll also play as Peach and Bowser, both with their own sets of essential skills. Hilarious adventure! When a mysterious villain kidnaps Peach and Bowser and forces them to get married, their union creates a rift of dark energy that threatens to tear the universe apart! Hilarious characters, laugh-out-loud plot twists, and unforgettable dimensions await as Mario makes his way through eight worlds, each more memorable than the last!
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars An excellent mix of platforming and RPG elements!
I’ve just recently popped this game in for the first time. After hours upon hours of playing, I’m HOOKED!! “Super Paper Mario” is one of the greatest Wii titles available! It mixes the best of the old with the best of the new: consisting of that familiar, nostalgic feel of classic Mario games and 3D and RPG elements from the first two Paper Mario games. You travel through various worlds, switching back and forth from 2D to 3D in order to overcome countless puzzles and obstacles.
In addition, you level up your stats by defeating enemies and finding special power-ups. Sometimes, you will need to switch between characters (there are four of them in all, including: Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi) in order to progress further into the game. Furthermore, you get to use the power(s) of creatures called, “Pixls” (each with their own unique ability), who help you advance in your quest.
The storyline, characters, and overall game play is very fun and captivating. It should appeal to ANY age group out there! Of course, it should even appeal to the biggest Mario purist! If you’re looking for something that is slightly different, but that you and your family will enjoy, I highly recommend this game!
Also recommended: “Super Mario Galaxy”, “Mario Kart Wii”, “Super Smash Bros. Brawl”, “Paper Mario”, and “Paper Mario – The Thousand Year Door”.
5 Stars Downright Fun.
My wife loved the version for N64, so this was a treat for her. She keeps playing the thing even though she’s already beat it. She said it’s fun, and only stopped playing it when I finally got her Super Mario Galaxy.
5 Stars Fabulous Mix
The game starts out with a pretty classic feel — d-pad navigation and the 1 and 2 buttons filling the space of a and b buttons on an original nes controller. After a little time getting use to the game a few more controls are added, making game play incredibly rich. I thought I would miss the rpg-style battles I fell in love with in Super Mario RPG, but found the combination of attack points and enemy stomping to be a great mix, especially once the concept of ’smooth moves’ was introduced, making leveling up far easier.
There is an awful lot of reading. Some of it really necessary and some of it just makes the story better. My husband and daughter skipped over most of the reading by hitting the a button as fast as they could without really effecting their game play (if they thought they missed something they could just talk to a person again).
This includes some really puzzling puzzles, a fun story, great characters (both new and old), and a variety of controls. Just a fabulous combination!
4 Stars Blows your mind!
Okay… first off, this games has a lot of dialogue! I’m not kidding, you will be reading a book! BUT, aside from that this game is so cool. You have to really think when you play. Flipping for 2-D to 3-D will make all the difference when you are trying to continue on your quest. It is a must have game! I hope you enjoy!
3 Stars Not what i expected.
This is one time it would have paid to do some research. I bought this game unaware of the previous RPG nature of the Paper Mario series. This game actually shares quite a bit in common with Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the DS: a central village, shops, some controls and stylistic elements, which i find a bit odd. It’s strange to play a Mario game with experience points, hit points (heart points) and so forth. It certainly isn’t anything like two of my favourites: Super Mario World (SNES) and New Super Mario Brothers (DS). This is not an action game, it’s a series of puzzles and dialogue. If you like puzzles, you’ll love this game; if you want action, this one isn’t for you.
