I agree but see why people hate it... I would really love it if they brought back the circus theme I loved chapter 7! It's my favorite chapter from any paper Mario game! (That I have played through) Maybe it's just nostalgia but it's miles better than SS
My answer is simple: I find Tanabe doubling down on the direction they're taking the series to be even more infuriating than Sticker Star itself and also Tanabe is kinda a POS for essentially setting up Risa Tabata to be eaten up by fans due to that infamous Gamexplain interview.
@@turtleanton6539 Lol out of all the comments you reply to, you choose my mini rant Well... I'm no longer the same bitter, cynical fan I was before yesterday's Direct.
Colour Splash is one of my favorite video games of all time. I will never change my opinion. This game means so much to me from it's soundtrack to it's humor to it's visuals
I’d say the expansions are great for bosses where more paint is heavily appreciated. I used the overworld to restore after regular battles. I’d still say it’s a C+-B- game as someone who played the original three, but I don’t think it deserves as much hate as it gets
Every "Mario RPG" had a great start, Super Mario RPG was amazing, Paper Mario (64) and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga too. The problem with those last two is that they had only one title as good or better than the first game: Thousand Year Door and Bowser Inside Story. The rest is just passable.
I think Super Paper Mario is just as good if not better than Thousand Year Door is almost every way: story, music, characters, locations, exploration, and post game content. The gameplay is much more unique and keeps me coming back to replay it unlike the older games. People are over critical simply because it’s different.
@@kumaranrvn5716 I don't think that's underrated, people likes it, just not the favorite. Like I said, I didn't finished it, I just got bored and stopped playing, and isn't because it's different. I played a good amount, but was unmotivated to finish. It's a nice game, but far from being remarkable as the first two.
@@FagnerLuan Which part of the game did you stop at? I think it’s unfair to say it isn’t as good as the first two if you haven’t finished it. I gave reasons why people think Super Paper Mario is just as good if not better. I played the first two games and don’t think they’re as good as hardcore fans make it out to be.
@nobodyinparticular9640 y9ur just copying this dumb youtubers opinion just because he hates the game doesn't you should too. People can love games if their not as bad as balan wonderworld, just mediocre
I've played EVERY SINGLE PAPER MARIO GAME and Color Splash is my favorite by a landslide- Yes the toads can seem repetitive, but they all have personality. And no EXP sucks, but we get hammer scrap which is still a plus, but the battles are somewhat an experience. I truly love this game. While it has it's downs, we can't forget its ups. Take the soundtrack for example, Dark Bloo Inn just hits different... Or the dialogue. I started a new account recently and the dialogue STILL makes me laugh to this day (and that was in the first 5 minutes. ((The crate comment Toad makes, and the hamburger thing actually had me rolling. Yes, I know my humor's broken but I genuinely laughed and that made me feel better.)) This game doesn't get enough love and recognition. I stand in a similar position to this in the Mario and Luigi RPG fandom; whereas I like the second most-hated game in the franchise (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team.) I'm very biased about that game, but this one I can genuinely say is amazing, and truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. Also, RIP Huey, he was the best Paper Mario character. He was the comedy relief, and my comfort character. Watching him sacrifice himself made me cry, and that was the first time I had ever cried at a game. It hurt so bad to see him go, so now I truly get somewhat upset when people hate on this game. Holy cow 4 AM is really affecting me I wrote a flipping essay- Oh well, I do love Huey though. ALSO EVERY TIME SOMEONE HATES ON THIS QUOTE THE LIGHTNING SCENE (Best scene to exist)
Color splash is just a slightly better version of Sticker Star. Problem is, Sticker Star was so terrible that "slightly better" is not nearly enough of an improvement. People who claim to like this game say that they enjoy it for it's "humor", forget that you still have to play the game to get to that humor. I'm tired of being polite and optimistic about the new era of Paper Mario. The 3 newer games fucking suck, don't play them. Yes that includes Origami King as well. It still has practically every problem introduced by Sticker Star while having an even worse battle system then SS and Color Splash. "But they added partners back again," no they didn't. One generic bob-omb who does not effect the battle system in the slightest and a napkin folded into a hand puppet does not count as "partners." They do not do anything. Nintendo somehow managed to drive both of their Mario RPG series into the ground in the span of a few (5? 10? 15? what is time anymore) years. Mario and Luigi no longer exist because Nintendo tried to sell a remake of a game that was already available on the console at the same time as a mainline Mario game came out, causing Alphadream to head into bankruptcy. Paper might as well be dead in the water because of how little of an improvement there has been regarding the games themselves. It's been more then 10 years since the atrocity that was Sticker Star came out and Paper Mario still hasn't fully recovered from the terrible decision making involved in that game.
I agree with those points but i think the variety and creativity in the levels can compensate them as it exceeds any other paper mario game in my opinion (just think to the parallel world, the smb3 styled level, the fight with a piece of meat, the haunted mansion). I still prefer ttyd and spm btw but they had some really frustrating moments during the story like the General White chase, the gems farming in the merlee house and the block sequence in the land of cragnons where you also have to write please many times
I'm pretty sure most people that dunk on Color Splash never actually played the game. Considering the game came out on the last year of the Wii U, no way a lot of people played it.
i used to play this game when i was like 4 picked it back up a few months ago one of the best games ive ever played i love the mechanics the story and the characters
When it comes to battling, setting the controls to “Basic + Buttons” alleviates most of the problem, as you can use the Up/Down buttons to change setup stage I’m playing it myself and genuinely having a blast, currently ranked 2nd on the four I’ve played
In my opinion, color splash has an amazing soundtrack, a great storyline, good way to interconnect the different “levels”, and interesting bosses and mini bosses. The battle time might be dreadful and the world isn’t as good as thousand year door but is that really a reason to place it in last? All paper Mario games are good in their own ways. While you might not like sticker star bc of how short the game was and how boring it was but to me it’s not boring and I like how it’s a short game.
I think they should improve the formula from origami king, maybe give more moves than required for puzzle, meaning use of paper mechanics (if they theme it around glue, maybe you can glue in a way that will save it but too few or wrong pattern lead to death. Would be cool to have boomerang that attack the back half and hurl hammer should be the hammer for air attacks instead of just a fancier jump. Bring back the hammer scrap as glue bottle fragments, they can also be found in overworld. Stars that is given by defeating bosses for increasing your stat and can change dynamically for even more strategy. A making system for weapons would be cool too instead of buying. You can either buy material using coins or do certain things like hammering rock, hammering trees to fall or defeating the enemies, there is also paper part for you grab and glue. More interesting costume but I agree that there shouldn’t be too much original one-use character and focus on recycling rare ones.
yea that’s not gonna happen they said they completely get rid of the system after that game entirely and as someone who is a newer fan on certain series even i wanted an evolution of that formula just like if i was an older fan like i am with paper mario and the fact that they get rid of the battle system every time is absurd as even though i’m a newer fan in certain series even i always want an evolution of that formula and the fact that paper mario doesn’t even do this since ttyd is just sad 😢
Before the game I've not had any experience in the Paper series, Color Splash was the first turn-based game that I played , I've finished the game and it was extremely entertaining
@Gboogie32 Never said it was... just never heard of it... watched a review. Made a comment for the algorithm. Support the channel and all that good stuff.
I'm so glad I have not played this game yet and I never will because of how average it looks. Also, how come you didn't do a video talking about Origami King and why people hate that instead of this game?? You should totally do a video on that next in the future man please.
Dude, IT SUCKS. It performs several gaming sins and I don’t know how people can even like that game. If you want an accurate representation of what it’s like to play it, check out HyperCharge’s critique video on Color Splash. He had the EXACT problems I did playing it. I hardly had any game that made me go “F*CK THIS GAME!!!”, but Color Splash somehow pulled it off.
I personally think if they didnt have the limitations set on them color splash would have been better than even ttyd, you can see it really wanted to be something great but just wasnt allowed to be... I havent played the game since probably 2018 since i no longer have my wiiu but i have such great memories with it and i remember the emerald circuis veing so cool! Would love if they brought a circus chapter back in the next game!
There’s only two ways I can see that happening 1. Add experience points so that it would give us a reason to engage in battle and use our stickers/cards. OR 2. Scrap the RPG battle system entirely and just have the enemies act similarly to the paper mache soldiers (or like how the enemies are in Super Paper Mario)
color splash is already good but the best way to make them better is removing the battle system and replacing it with ttyd or supers it still wouldnt save sticker star but it would bring it up multiple tiers more original character designs would help too
My reason for disliking Color Splash: The battle system was too much like Sticker Star. The absolute worst part of the battle system in both games was the inability to select which enemy you're hitting with your attacks. It's just picked for you and it's not just the front guy for your second move. Now I can forgive Sticker Star's battle system for being experimental, since it came out first, and emphasizing the sticker motif by making the battle all about the collection you bring in to situations. Not to mention it was fun to get enemy attacks and turn those back on them. The page selection was actually pretty convenient in sticker star as well when you could hold 15 moves per page in 3x5 rows and fits the sticker motif. And while I can forgive the system for being new I didn't want it repeated... Color Splash has every problem in Sticker Star without any justification of 'trying something new' or a motif that makes sense the just rehashed Sticker Star's system in a less convenient way and didn't even fix the most basic problem.
Have you ever played color splash? It's better than dticker star, by a mile. It's not just a sticker star sequel. It has some genuinely cool levels, with unique ideas, the music and style are better in my opinion and there are a few funny characters, even if they are just toads wearing outfits.
@@Worst_Evil I have played both and I say Sticker Star is easily better. I'll admit they're both subpar. I'm looking at gameplay more than anything. Everything you're talking about is flavor. And if you like Color Splash more, fine, but I have my opinion too. To be fair, the levels of Color Splash are flavor-wise are decent and more memorable, though most of the gameplay itself through these levels is identical to sticker star (which I found normal quality): just romp around with a low jump hammering whatever you need to, apply some trick to place realistic props on the map when prompted, and get to the exit star block. The color gimmick is so clearly just tacked on, both in and out of levels, compared to the sticker gimmicks which meshes better than the color gimmicks with the game play, what's going on, and why things are the way they are. I found some of the humor in Color Splash needlessly annoying, especially any run-on jokes they had and the visual humor from having everything be extra-papery wasn't original anymore. Music? I don't recall music being bad in either and Bowser round 1 ost of Sticker Star is pretty good, but I don't recall any music from Color Splash aside from the regular battle theme. The battle system and use of the color gimmick are incredibly lazy. The card system is what it is because the elements are a complete rehash of the sticker system but without any reason and far more inefficient. I want to apply strategy to battles. Sticker Star has more of that since you have to manage a relatively small, but very manageable supply of stickers. Also you can just buy super props like fans off an easy roulette for about all random battles in Color Splash. Coins being particularly more useful since you need them to act twice, which is good to save for bosses, and extra stickers in often quick fights were at least more of a reason to get in fights in Sticker Star. Also my run of them was beat the games. I'm not really going for extra stuff or looking to talk to everyone. Color Splash to me overstays its welcome with its length and even more so than Sticker Star. Sticker Star is also portable and short so I could beat it in an evening. I don't usually sit around chatting with npcs. With Sticker Star I played it more than once to try to optimize playing through it. With Color Splash I just was glad to be done with it.
@@Worst_Evil Nah the boss battles in Color Splash are a immediate step down. Why force upon figuring out a boss weakness when Sticker Star didn't even do that and at most had a misleading "You used too many stickers" message when you didn't beat the boss the "right way". And why do the Koopalings have an instant death attack if you don't use the weakness? It kinda takes me out of it when they could've started the boss fight with said instant death attack. I cannot stand when a game is treating me like an idiot and that's exactly what Color Splash does. Also "funny writing" shouldn't be a selling point especially meta humor which I know the current Paper Mario games have been doing. I'm so tired of bland, lazzily manufactured meta humor that the 2010's has been plagued with. Nothing sets my distaste faster than self referencing things like a toad sarcastically saying how Peach being kidnapped is surprising or them referencing the "Luigi Death Stare" meme.
@@PipeGuy64Bit I really want to explain why I prefer the bosses in CS but it's kinda difficult to explain...its not difficult actually I just can't be asked currently but I will bring it up later. But ignoring that for now can you tell me how other things about sticker star are better than color splash? The World for an example, at least color splash has unique areas and the world feels connected, i personally wouldn't say the same for sticker star...OK I'm really getting bored of writing this, it just gets kind of tiring arguing about which game is better or worse but I would love to hear your opinions of the game if you feel like saying them
I know everyone says TTYD is the best in the series, but Color Splash will always have a special place in my heart. It’s literally infinitely better than the other Paper Marios, but TTYD and Origami King are still legendary.
I never realized how easy sniffit or wiffit was, you can just use a phone to record each round, the replay as you wish, the only hard game at that point is color that card
@@windee5714 I did that the last time I played. (Which was probably a year ago) But, for some reason there was a card on the show that I DIDNT HAVE IN MY CARD SLOTS! Though, I could probably just get two of each cards just to guaranteed win..
I think this game is incredibly fun funny and the world looks amazing also sticker star is way worse 64 is over hyped 1000 year door is amazing oragami is alright and super is a nice change of pace
This game is considered the worst by these people, because it made an experimental failure that was Sticker Star (which was a total chaos of development that Nintendo stubbornly forced to completion) a mainstay. Though it is objectively better than Sticker Star. Worse, it caused the Paper Mario fanbase schism. Kids/young people who never played the original trilogy played Color Splash first, and see it as their Paper Mario. So, when new games get released, the fanbase is always divided. Always those who prefer a cartoon-esque SMRPG-like, and those who prefer an arts/crafts-styled explorer game with battles as an occasional side thing.
Tbh it’s good if u didn’t play the old games first cuz Like it would seem good unlike if u played the old it’s a massive change,but it’s defenetly better then sticker stars
How people say Color Splash improves on Sticker Star is beyond my comprehension. Color Splash is, without a doubt, the worst Paper Mario game ever. Sticker Star, I feel, can be forgotten. I don’t put handheld games alongside main titles. They’re just different. Color Splash does the same thing Sticker Star does, but even WORSE. Most of SS’s bosses are pretty straightforward fights that lightly use the Thing stickers (with exception of Bowser) and CS goes ALL OUT with that concept. It’s frustrating to lose a boss fight because of seeing something coming at you and when you solve the “puzzle”, it’s not rewarding at all. The battle system SUCKS in CS. In SS, at LEAST you can perform attacks quicker with simple button presses. CS has you scroll through all your cards, select your cards, tap to paint the cards and flick the cards and THEN you perform button presses. And the writing isn’t that good for CS. TTYD had some clever and endearing writing while CS goes for the “LOL RANDOM” humor that plagues the internet. Tell me, HOW is Color Splash better than Sticker Star???
“How is Color Splash better than Sticker Star” I’ll tell you. Aside from the battle system (which I unironically think is decent for what it tries to do), the gameplay is fun. Simply put it, Sticker Star fails at being both an RPG and Adventure Game, while Color Splash succeeds at being an adventure game, while still falling flat in the RPG department. There are a lot more characters with interesting personalities in Color Splash than in Sticker Star (even though the designs of these characters are just Toads most of the time) Huey is WAY better of a main companion than Kersti. Like seriously, Huey is just a chill, funny dude and Kersti is this short tempered granny who gets really annoying fast. The areas in Color Splash feel a lot more real and less formulaic than Sticker Star, which had the levels split up into worlds, having names like 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc. While you may not like the writing, about 99.99% of people who played this game do and find it to be one of if not the game’s best aspect. Lastly, you bring up the issue with Things in boss battles, and while yes it is a dumb concept, I don’t know why you’re claiming that Things are “lightly used” in Sticker Star where as in Color Splash, it goes “all out.” I don’t know what game you’re playing, but to me both games handle bosses almost the exact same. If anything, it’s a lot worse in Sticker Star because there are A LOT more Things in that game than in Color Splash and Color Splash also has the Know-It-All Toad who gives you a hint as to what Thing you’ll need for a boss. So judging from what I’ve read from this comment, you’ve either never even played Color Splash or… um… yeah you’ve just never played Color Splash
@@RenardioMFG You responded to someone who indirectly stated that something released on the 3DS cannot possibly be a "main title". You probably wasted your time being logically elaborate.
Sticker star just has an asshole main partner, color splash has one with genuine character development Sticker star has little to no humor, color splash at least has any Sticker star just makes you guess what thing cards to use and also has some random set of invisible blocks with no indication that are required to progress, color splash has an npc dedicated to telling you what thing cards you should bring and doesnt have any invisible block bs Sticker star has a final boss thats just 90% more random thing card guessing (and also one non-thing card cus why not lol), color splash has an actually unique final boss in terms of mechanics Sticker star uses a world map for seemingly not a good reason, color splash uses a world map to keep throwing "fun moments" at you while still having the world feel connected Sticker star makes you suffer to death if you dont bring the right thing card, color splash just gets it over with and kills you Sticker star has infinijump. The attack selection is absolutely a patience and inventory organisation issue on your end Color splash actually makes it clear when to use a thing card Color splash doesnt crash the game for seemingly no reason when using a specific attack on a specific enemy Color splash makes you actually fight bosses instead of spamming infinijumps to just skip the part where you need the thing card entirely TL;DR color splash is better in every way, you just try and deflect any arguments against that by saying that sticker star is "just different" and therefore just automatically excused or something (being forgettable and on a handheld console makes it impossible to be a bad game i guess)
@@lpfan4491 except it quite literally officially is a main title, you cant just say "idk it doesnt count lmao". being on a handheld console doesnt mean a game cant be bad and is automatically immune to all criticism. so no, nobody wasted their time, its just a mainline title and even if it wasnt its still not an automatic win or something. it literally is a paper mario game, you cant argue against that because it is a factual statement. your opinion has literally zero say in wether a game is part of the mainline series or not
I think Paper Mario 64 was probably the best just because of the originality. For Nintendo, there hadn't been any other game stylized like it was. The spin offs are great, but it will never match up the the magic and nostalgia of the 64 bit version. Thank you for another interesting perspective on these games! Keep up the great work!
I will give Paper Mario 64 a couple of things: The world is probably the most cohesive out of all the Mario RPGs. Everything feels well connected and every chapter has a unique entrance. I feel the game does a better job at pushing you towards using available resources/tactics against bosses later in the game. TTYD I feel didn't do that good of a job at pushing the player towards using any tactics and resources towards boss fights until the final boss which of course ended up being a difficulty spike to young players back then myself included.
I know I'm late, but you forgot to mention probably the best part about this game in my opinion. The dialogue! It was very funny to me and there are good moments in the progression. The gameplay works great, and there are some funny battles. The washing machine, anyone?
You see, it's not that the game is lackluster in fact the game is amazing including Sticker Star (which is probably my second favorite game, after Color Splash) but everybody's always saying the same things but first of all Everyone's being such hypocrites. They're talking about how there's no creativity, yet all of them want the same features that PM64 and TTYD had. Secondly, are yall that impatient? You're telling me that the time it took to beat Shadow Queen Peach and Bowser in PM64 is fine, but just a simple battle is too much, like come on! And, lastly, I love Nintendo, but honestly I think it should stop making Paper Mario games not necessarily because I hate them, but because for some reason the fans will always find some way to hate them, and always relate to the first two games. And the fact that people are just watching the trailer of TTYD's remake and already getting hyped is way too biased. Color Splash, Sticker Star, and SPM are my absolute favorites and all the time people are going "Oh, the battle systems in these games are nowhere near as great as TTYD" when the battle systems are now simpler. Overall, TTYD and PM64 are too overrated, and everything else is underrated.
Color Splash even thought I didn’t beat it it is still a Paper Mario Game that I enjoy even with its flaws (don’t get me wrong they still kinda bother me) but I still enjoy the game a lot is it my top favorites? Nope Origami King and 64 are my favorites but it would be still a rank below those 2 TTYD,SPM,SS don’t count I never played those
@@supernstic.7777 The comment is one year old, if the guy wanted to sell it he already did it, and it's clearly not the best game ever, you might have liked it but that doesn't mean it's a good game, liking something doesn't mean that it's good
@@supernstic.7777 lmao same thoughts, same thinks about this wonderful masterpiece of Nintendo. This game really deserved to be on switch and I think it will return 1 day.
New games, old games, it's basically guaranteed that for any casual gamer, the first game they play in the series, they'll like the most. Even more likely if they were a kid when they played it, as nostalgia takes over.
I think even the dumbest of casual gamer, if they played the old PM games and compare them to the new ones, most will probably tell you the latter are trash and couldn't believe they enjoyed them
@@nobodyinparticular9640 Even though I personally agree Paper Mario should never have deviated from the TTYD formula (though some small changes would be welcome to keep things fresh), plenty have played the old ones and enjoy the new ones. Not just out of new age nostalgia. Side note, I think the greatest travesty is Paper Jam, as it not only doubled down on the sterile new Paper Mario, but corrupted the Mario & Luigi series as well.
There's also the stupid "thing" system. There's no strategic value to their usage in boss fights, you simply need to use the right thing to progress the fight. What's even the point?
this game is my childhood and ive always wanted a port to the switch so bad. im very sad that people hate it even though it has a banger soundtrack. the only reason why people hate it is because others say they hate it making them believing that its bad and hate on it for no reason. this game is literally the best game ive ever played and no one can stop me. come on guys, show some respect. and come on, stop hating on EVERY new title if it's not like TTYD or 64. i mean, imagine if EVERY title in the series was something like TTYD. the battle system would get repetitive and there would be no concept at all. i get it, it may not be as cool as the others, but come on, this was on a poor selling console along with other bangers like mario kart 8. just, please. stop hating on it.
So first, you said it yourself but it's your childhood game, of course you're gonna like it since you liked it when you were younger, to young to actually care if a game is considered good or bad, and that's also why some people would prefer that the new paper mario games where closer to the old ones. Secondly, "the battle system would get repetitive", if it was always perfectly the same it would, even though it would take so much time that it might be too much time for the serie to be still alive. Look at the fangame/mod of paper mario TTYD and 64, always the same gameplay and there's tons of them and nobody complained that it was repetitive. Do you know why ? Badges, just because of them. The main core of old paper mario gameplay is really basic, you can either jump, hammer, defend or use an item (and also special moves but since it's unique to each game I won't go into it), but with the addition of badges you can create for yourself new opportunities during fights and new ways to play, meaning that you can fight the same boss in a lot of different way. Also, changing a bit the formula to avoid being repetitive is a valid point, but changing doesn't mean taking a formula and putting it in a trash can. There's a lot of ways to change a formula to upgrade it while also keeping it similar enough compared to the older games so people recognize the gameplay. Look at Final fantasy for exemple (it isn't the first choice I would take for that example but it's one of the most known one), at first it was just turn by turn, then they added the time bar for character to take their action that everyone know of and it's still in the recent game, you recognize a final fantasy because of this bar. For a nintendo exemple, you could take a look at Zelda, it's the same gameplay and same idea, you advance in the game and do dungeon, these dungeons give you new items/power up that let you advance more into the game and let you do newer dungeon that will also give new items/power up. What they did with Sticker Star and Color Splash isn't trying to avoid repetitiveness, it's straigh up trying to create a new game but putting it onto the Paper Mario licence and then denying it. If it was another new licence and not a Paper Mario game, these games wouldn't get so much hates.
Hi!Where can I get personal nintendo ninjas? I want them to work against people who hate a certain paper mario game(without weird things,I love it. It it repeats itself but not really,it its a weird thing . Also,I feel like this its the old mario movie anger because on a critic look it its bad but you enjoy it when you play it)
I love Color Splash, for me one of the best Paper Marios after Paper Mario 64 and Thousand Year Door. Color Splash IS very good It's different but it's still very good.
Game is definitely over hated people cry out loud for a game they don’t even like If you don’t like it just leave it there yes you can say your opinion but do not gate keep people from playing it
Origami King is (in my opinion) way worse. I could be misunderstanding the game, but Color Splash is fine. It has some funny moments, its soundtrack is great, and I personally like the battle system. I honestly think the game deserves a Switch port, with a battle system that other people like.
Nope, Color Splash didn't kill Paper Mario. Just because Nintendo doesn't want to listen to a bunch of thirsty teenagers on their knees begging for Thousand Times Easier than a normal rpg doesn't mean the series is dead. It's by far the best game. It's hard, has good graphics, an interesting story, enaging gameplay, and loads of replayability. It has its flaws, but its worth a second chance. In all honesty, the first and second ones aren't even that creative.
First, a game being hard or not does not make it a bad or good games, there's a lot of good games that are easy and lots of hard games that are bad. (and that's from a guy that like hard game to the point of making me regret my choice of game while playing) Secondly, good graphic doesn't do everything, and honestly, a Nintendo game (except Pokemon) won't have bad graphic. For the story, I won't talk about if because I 100% forgot it but I can at least assure that it's not the best stories of the Paper Mario. Thirdly, replayability, well, this term means that you can play a game in different ways without feeling bored or that it always look the same, things that help with that are either not linear game (and none of the Paper Mario games are not linear game) or a way to create builds and random drop that will help making these. Let's look at the two first and color splash for that: For the two first games, you can create builds with badges that you get during the game or as drops from ennemies, these badges let you have new attacks or effects like more hp, more FP, more power, more defense, adding a chance to dodge an attack, riposting when an enemy attack you, getting FP when you lose FP, getting FP/HP at the start of a turn, taking less damage when you block, exchanging a power point for a defense point and the opposite, getting more power for the price of either not being able to jump or hammer, being able to use more than 1 items and some other things that I must have forgot because there's quite some badges in these games. Furthermore, these games have items that have also different effects, most of them heals HP or FP, but other can also upgrade your defense/attack, adding a chance to dodge, not taking damage for a certain time, inversing your HP and FP, being able to riposte when an enemy attack you or just directly attack one or more enemies with effects on top of the damage (As for the badges, I didn't put all of the effects of all the items because I lost already too much time on this). All of this allow you to make strategy that let you have a new way of playing the game, either making it harder or easier. I'm sure you can agree with me that it make the game replayable. So now, let's talk about Color Splash, what is there in the game to make builds : Cards of different effect like attacks, healing, putting spike on your head to not take damage from attack from above, having a Tanuki tail to being able to riposte from attack from the side and... I'm honestly already blanking on what there is in the game so I went to look at the wiki (thing that I did not do for the two older game) and from what I can see, there's the frog suit that let you evade attack like in a Mario and Luigi game and a card that make you gain paint, something you can already easily get outside of battle. There's also monster card but all of them are just attacks and same thing for the... Things, most of, there might be one or two that does something else but from what I remember it's just an attack that hit everyone. So you can't really build anything with that, it wouldn't be that bad to build a kit you would keep the cards but since you loose them after using them you can't really build a kit. That doesn't seem well for replayability, but let's take a look at bosses, strategy shine the most against bosses since you have to use all of your tools to beat them and getting a feeling of reward after seeing that your strategy wor... And there's only one way to kill all the bosses (apart Bowser maybe, don't remember), so we're going to forget the strategy part of replayability. So for Color Splash, you can't really build a stable kit and can't use your brain for strategy since it's kind of useless. For TTYD and 64 you have a lot of choice that will stay, making it feasable to create strategy that will work on normal enemies and get rewarded on bosses if you thought about it long enough (and yes, every badges that have a real effect [So not the one that only do sound] can be used in a strategy to beat a boss, even double pain). Yeah, that doesn't look good for your game, but, I mean, there's always your last point, maybe it's something that will make me change my vues on Color Splash. So, hmm, creativity, hmm, well, let's not take into account character and let's look at the places in the game, I remember none of them so let's go to the wiki ! So, just first look at the world map, it looks like a brush, that's kind of a nice touch. Mondo woods is nice, nothing out of the ordinary but making a small Mario create a new of looking at forest. A hotel with ghost inside, at first I would have sayed that it wasn't done before but, uh, 64 already did it with a Mansion, and then added a character that eat ghost leading into creating good character so... Plum Park, I'm sure we can find something like in any other Mario game. Sacred forest, Mondo woods but in reverse... Did they already had no idea left ? The pirates level, even if it looks like the pire level from TTYD I like it, a part of the idea is the same but it is done differently enough for it to be unique. The circus level is a fine concept so I'll keep it in my mind. I didn't adress all of the level because the other honestly look uninteresting. So in terms of level, it's 50/50. Let's take a look at the bosses, in terms of bosses, the only unique ones are the Shy guy with a mask on him and the Steak, out of 15 only 2 are special enough to be considered unique, that's kind of Sad. As for TTYD and 64, I honestly have put way too much time on this so I'll just say that the only not unique levels of these games are the first one but if you count it then you also take the first level of Color Splash as a not unique level (and they are like that because it's to let the player understand how the game work before putting some more complex visual on him), the train level from TTYD (not the best but that the same thing for Color Splash) and the Bowser Castle of 64 since, a Castle from Bowser isn't anything new, and that also include the one from Color Splash. As for the bosses... I only see Bowser as a not unique bosses (I only put it as a not unique boss here because I put it as a not unique boss in Color Splash), and for TTYD it's more like a mini boss than a real boss that is with another mini boss who is 100% unique. After this analysis, I can safely say that Color Splash isn't more creative than TTYD or 64. So yeah... Color Splash isn't better than TTYD or 64, sorry to burst your little inner bubble of childhood but I guess someone had to do it. (However, that doesn't mean that you can't like or have fun on the game, it's just that you can't say that it is better than the older ones.)
Engaging gameplay? You mean the gameplay you can ignore and run past all the enemies because there is no character progression making every fight pointless?
this game is WAY too underrated. Some people are just impatient, or some people criticize the game for not be perfect
I agree but see why people hate it... I would really love it if they brought back the circus theme I loved chapter 7! It's my favorite chapter from any paper Mario game! (That I have played through) Maybe it's just nostalgia but it's miles better than SS
ikr like do you want the attention spans to get worse or not
Fr, plus, it’s the origin of Bowser’s fury
My answer is simple: I find Tanabe doubling down on the direction they're taking the series to be even more infuriating than Sticker Star itself and also Tanabe is kinda a POS for essentially setting up Risa Tabata to be eaten up by fans due to that infamous Gamexplain interview.

Colour Splash is one of my favorite video games of all time. I will never change my opinion. This game means so much to me from it's soundtrack to it's humor to it's visuals
Ah yes, MAYrio, my favorite video game franchise.
I’d say the expansions are great for bosses where more paint is heavily appreciated. I used the overworld to restore after regular battles. I’d still say it’s a C+-B- game as someone who played the original three, but I don’t think it deserves as much hate as it gets
Every "Mario RPG" had a great start, Super Mario RPG was amazing, Paper Mario (64) and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga too. The problem with those last two is that they had only one title as good or better than the first game: Thousand Year Door and Bowser Inside Story. The rest is just passable.
Super Paper Mario is great too.
@@kvj1989 the problem is that Super Mario Paper looks more like Super Mario than Paper Mario... I never finished it, but it's a nice game for sure
I think Super Paper Mario is just as good if not better than Thousand Year Door is almost every way: story, music, characters, locations, exploration, and post game content. The gameplay is much more unique and keeps me coming back to replay it unlike the older games. People are over critical simply because it’s different.
@@kumaranrvn5716 I don't think that's underrated, people likes it, just not the favorite. Like I said, I didn't finished it, I just got bored and stopped playing, and isn't because it's different. I played a good amount, but was unmotivated to finish.
It's a nice game, but far from being remarkable as the first two.
@@FagnerLuan Which part of the game did you stop at? I think it’s unfair to say it isn’t as good as the first two if you haven’t finished it.

I've played EVERY SINGLE PAPER MARIO GAME and Color Splash is my favorite by a landslide- Yes the toads can seem repetitive, but they all have personality. And no EXP sucks, but we get hammer scrap which is still a plus, but the battles are somewhat an experience. I truly love this game. While it has it's downs, we can't forget its ups. Take the soundtrack for example, Dark Bloo Inn just hits different... Or the dialogue. I started a new account recently and the dialogue STILL makes me laugh to this day (and that was in the first 5 minutes. ((The crate comment Toad makes, and the hamburger thing actually had me rolling. Yes, I know my humor's broken but I genuinely laughed and that made me feel better.)) This game doesn't get enough love and recognition. I stand in a similar position to this in the Mario and Luigi RPG fandom; whereas I like the second most-hated game in the franchise (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team.) I'm very biased about that game, but this one I can genuinely say is amazing, and truly mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Also, RIP Huey, he was the best Paper Mario character. He was the comedy relief, and my comfort character. Watching him sacrifice himself made me cry, and that was the first time I had ever cried at a game. It hurt so bad to see him go, so now I truly get somewhat upset when people hate on this game.
Holy cow 4 AM is really affecting me I wrote a flipping essay- Oh well, I do love Huey though.

Not once, but twice
Color splash is just a slightly better version of Sticker Star. Problem is, Sticker Star was so terrible that "slightly better" is not nearly enough of an improvement. People who claim to like this game say that they enjoy it for it's "humor", forget that you still have to play the game to get to that humor. I'm tired of being polite and optimistic about the new era of Paper Mario. The 3 newer games fucking suck, don't play them. Yes that includes Origami King as well. It still has practically every problem introduced by Sticker Star while having an even worse battle system then SS and Color Splash. "But they added partners back again," no they didn't. One generic bob-omb who does not effect the battle system in the slightest and a napkin folded into a hand puppet does not count as "partners." They do not do anything. Nintendo somehow managed to drive both of their Mario RPG series into the ground in the span of a few (5? 10? 15? what is time anymore) years. Mario and Luigi no longer exist because Nintendo tried to sell a remake of a game that was already available on the console at the same time as a mainline Mario game came out, causing Alphadream to head into bankruptcy. Paper might as well be dead in the water because of how little of an improvement there has been regarding the games themselves.
It's been more then 10 years since the atrocity that was Sticker Star came out and Paper Mario still hasn't fully recovered from the terrible decision making involved in that game.
Dang💀
mii liowke gwame ;)
Sounds like someone is a little angy
Whoa who spilled your cereal to make you angry
I agree with those points but i think the variety and creativity in the levels can compensate them as it exceeds any other paper mario game in my opinion (just think to the parallel world, the smb3 styled level, the fight with a piece of meat, the haunted mansion). I still prefer ttyd and spm btw but they had some really frustrating moments during the story like the General White chase, the gems farming in the merlee house and the block sequence in the land of cragnons where you also have to write please many times
I'm pretty sure most people that dunk on Color Splash never actually played the game. Considering the game came out on the last year of the Wii U, no way a lot of people played it.
i used to play this game when i was like 4 picked it back up a few months ago one of the best games ive ever played i love the mechanics the story and the characters
When it comes to battling, setting the controls to “Basic + Buttons” alleviates most of the problem, as you can use the Up/Down buttons to change setup stage
I’m playing it myself and genuinely having a blast, currently ranked 2nd on the four I’ve played
For reason 3, you forgot to add that getting a paint star will give you more Hp And Makes The Attacks Stronger...
In my opinion, color splash has an amazing soundtrack, a great storyline, good way to interconnect the different “levels”, and interesting bosses and mini bosses. The battle time might be dreadful and the world isn’t as good as thousand year door but is that really a reason to place it in last? All paper Mario games are good in their own ways. While you might not like sticker star bc of how short the game was and how boring it was but to me it’s not boring and I like how it’s a short game.
This game is amazing, 1000 times better than sticker star, and that's coming from someone who played TTYD.
I liked sticker stars but to be fair it was my first paper mario
I think they should improve the formula from origami king, maybe give more moves than required for puzzle, meaning use of paper mechanics (if they theme it around glue, maybe you can glue in a way that will save it but too few or wrong pattern lead to death. Would be cool to have boomerang that attack the back half and hurl hammer should be the hammer for air attacks instead of just a fancier jump. Bring back the hammer scrap as glue bottle fragments, they can also be found in overworld. Stars that is given by defeating bosses for increasing your stat and can change dynamically for even more strategy. A making system for weapons would be cool too instead of buying. You can either buy material using coins or do certain things like hammering rock, hammering trees to fall or defeating the enemies, there is also paper part for you grab and glue. More interesting costume but I agree that there shouldn’t be too much original one-use character and focus on recycling rare ones.
yea that’s not gonna happen they said they completely get rid of the system after that game entirely and as someone who is a newer fan on certain series even i wanted an evolution of that formula just like if i was an older fan like i am with paper mario and the fact that they get rid of the battle system every time is absurd as even though i’m a newer fan in certain series even i always want an evolution of that formula and the fact that paper mario doesn’t even do this since ttyd is just sad 😢
Your channel is really underrated and you have really interesting video topics keep it up!

Paper mario color splash is my favorite game, i love everything about this game, it make me so sad that people don't like it
I'm not kidding. I never even heard of this game. It must really be that bad. Dang.
It’s not that bad but ok the reason you probably never heard of it is because the game come out not too long before the Switch first released

In what ways do this word destroy his argument ? It doesn't, it only means that you can't put the time to understand what he meant.
Yeah, I love an rpg where you can't progress your character in the slightest and come out at the end of the game as strong as you are at the start.
the sticker star in question
I personally think if they didnt have the limitations set on them color splash would have been better than even ttyd, you can see it really wanted to be something great but just wasnt allowed to be... I havent played the game since probably 2018 since i no longer have my wiiu but i have such great memories with it and i remember the emerald circuis veing so cool! Would love if they brought a circus chapter back in the next game!
If you look only at the flaws, it's normal that you think it's bad. Don't look only at the bad side of things, look at the good sides too.
just a though but maybe there's a way to make Sticker Star/Color Splash system good?
There’s only two ways I can see that happening
1. Add experience points so that it would give us a reason to engage in battle and use our stickers/cards.
OR
2. Scrap the RPG battle system entirely and just have the enemies act similarly to the paper mache soldiers (or like how the enemies are in Super Paper Mario)
@@RaccoonThunderMario_Official ITS JUST STICKER STAR COLOR SPLASH IS GOOD
@@supernstic.7777 I didn't say Color Splash was as bad as Sticker Star just that its battle system is still bad.
Maybe they can add partners as well Huey and one of the Rescue Ranger Toads could work as partners
color splash is already good but the best way to make them better is removing the battle system and replacing it with ttyd or supers
it still wouldnt save sticker star but it would bring it up multiple tiers
more original character designs would help too
I dont care what anyone says, I love, and I mean, LOVE this game.
Thank god I’m not the only one
My reason for disliking Color Splash: The battle system was too much like Sticker Star.
The absolute worst part of the battle system in both games was the inability to select which enemy you're hitting with your attacks. It's just picked for you and it's not just the front guy for your second move.
Now I can forgive Sticker Star's battle system for being experimental, since it came out first, and emphasizing the sticker motif by making the battle all about the collection you bring in to situations. Not to mention it was fun to get enemy attacks and turn those back on them. The page selection was actually pretty convenient in sticker star as well when you could hold 15 moves per page in 3x5 rows and fits the sticker motif. And while I can forgive the system for being new I didn't want it repeated...
Color Splash has every problem in Sticker Star without any justification of 'trying something new' or a motif that makes sense the just rehashed Sticker Star's system in a less convenient way and didn't even fix the most basic problem.
Have you ever played color splash? It's better than dticker star, by a mile.
It's not just a sticker star sequel. It has some genuinely cool levels, with unique ideas, the music and style are better in my opinion and there are a few funny characters, even if they are just toads wearing outfits.
@@Worst_Evil I have played both and I say Sticker Star is easily better. I'll admit they're both subpar. I'm looking at gameplay more than anything. Everything you're talking about is flavor. And if you like Color Splash more, fine, but I have my opinion too.
To be fair, the levels of Color Splash are flavor-wise are decent and more memorable, though most of the gameplay itself through these levels is identical to sticker star (which I found normal quality): just romp around with a low jump hammering whatever you need to, apply some trick to place realistic props on the map when prompted, and get to the exit star block. The color gimmick is so clearly just tacked on, both in and out of levels, compared to the sticker gimmicks which meshes better than the color gimmicks with the game play, what's going on, and why things are the way they are. I found some of the humor in Color Splash needlessly annoying, especially any run-on jokes they had and the visual humor from having everything be extra-papery wasn't original anymore. Music? I don't recall music being bad in either and Bowser round 1 ost of Sticker Star is pretty good, but I don't recall any music from Color Splash aside from the regular battle theme. The battle system and use of the color gimmick are incredibly lazy. The card system is what it is because the elements are a complete rehash of the sticker system but without any reason and far more inefficient. I want to apply strategy to battles. Sticker Star has more of that since you have to manage a relatively small, but very manageable supply of stickers. Also you can just buy super props like fans off an easy roulette for about all random battles in Color Splash. Coins being particularly more useful since you need them to act twice, which is good to save for bosses, and extra stickers in often quick fights were at least more of a reason to get in fights in Sticker Star.
Also my run of them was beat the games. I'm not really going for extra stuff or looking to talk to everyone. Color Splash to me overstays its welcome with its length and even more so than Sticker Star. Sticker Star is also portable and short so I could beat it in an evening. I don't usually sit around chatting with npcs. With Sticker Star I played it more than once to try to optimize playing through it. With Color Splash I just was glad to be done with it.
@@Lv27MarkerMan huh...you might just be the first person I've ever heard say sticker star was better
@@Worst_Evil Nah the boss battles in Color Splash are a immediate step down. Why force upon figuring out a boss weakness when Sticker Star didn't even do that and at most had a misleading "You used too many stickers" message when you didn't beat the boss the "right way". And why do the Koopalings have an instant death attack if you don't use the weakness? It kinda takes me out of it when they could've started the boss fight with said instant death attack. I cannot stand when a game is treating me like an idiot and that's exactly what Color Splash does.
Also "funny writing" shouldn't be a selling point especially meta humor which I know the current Paper Mario games have been doing. I'm so tired of bland, lazzily manufactured meta humor that the 2010's has been plagued with. Nothing sets my distaste faster than self referencing things like a toad sarcastically saying how Peach being kidnapped is surprising or them referencing the "Luigi Death Stare" meme.
@@PipeGuy64Bit I really want to explain why I prefer the bosses in CS but it's kinda difficult to explain...its not difficult actually I just can't be asked currently but I will bring it up later.
But ignoring that for now can you tell me how other things about sticker star are better than color splash? The World for an example, at least color splash has unique areas and the world feels connected, i personally wouldn't say the same for sticker star...OK I'm really getting bored of writing this, it just gets kind of tiring arguing about which game is better or worse but I would love to hear your opinions of the game if you feel like saying them
I know everyone says TTYD is the best in the series, but Color Splash will always have a special place in my heart. It’s literally infinitely better than the other Paper Marios, but TTYD and Origami King are still legendary.
I still haven’t got the camera. That won’t stop me from loving this game. (I’m going to make those “sniff it or Wiff guys pay)
I never realized how easy sniffit or wiffit was, you can just use a phone to record each round, the replay as you wish, the only hard game at that point is color that card
@@windee5714 I did that the last time I played. (Which was probably a year ago) But, for some reason there was a card on the show that I DIDNT HAVE IN MY CARD SLOTS! Though, I could probably just get two of each cards just to guaranteed win..

I think you have Color Splash confused with Sticker Star
Imagine hating
I think this game is incredibly fun funny and the world looks amazing also sticker star is way worse 64 is over hyped 1000 year door is amazing oragami is alright and super is a nice change of pace
This game is considered the worst by these people, because it made an experimental failure that was Sticker Star (which was a total chaos of development that Nintendo stubbornly forced to completion) a mainstay. Though it is objectively better than Sticker Star. Worse, it caused the Paper Mario fanbase schism. Kids/young people who never played the original trilogy played Color Splash first, and see it as their Paper Mario. So, when new games get released, the fanbase is always divided. Always those who prefer a cartoon-esque SMRPG-like, and those who prefer an arts/crafts-styled explorer game with battles as an occasional side thing.
That's not the games fault, thats a problem with the community.
I’ve only played sticker star and color splash and I enjoyed them but I understand why people don’t like them with lack of rpg elements
Tbh it’s good if u didn’t play the old games first cuz Like it would seem good unlike if u played the old it’s a massive change,but it’s defenetly better then sticker stars
I played Origami King,Color Splash,and 64 and enjoyed all of them so…
Good for u
screw the hate paper mario color splash will always be a top favourite for me
How people say Color Splash improves on Sticker Star is beyond my comprehension. Color Splash is, without a doubt, the worst Paper Mario game ever.
Sticker Star, I feel, can be forgotten. I don’t put handheld games alongside main titles. They’re just different. Color Splash does the same thing Sticker Star does, but even WORSE. Most of SS’s bosses are pretty straightforward fights that lightly use the Thing stickers (with exception of Bowser) and CS goes ALL OUT with that concept. It’s frustrating to lose a boss fight because of seeing something coming at you and when you solve the “puzzle”, it’s not rewarding at all.
The battle system SUCKS in CS. In SS, at LEAST you can perform attacks quicker with simple button presses. CS has you scroll through all your cards, select your cards, tap to paint the cards and flick the cards and THEN you perform button presses.
And the writing isn’t that good for CS. TTYD had some clever and endearing writing while CS goes for the “LOL RANDOM” humor that plagues the internet.
Tell me, HOW is Color Splash better than Sticker Star???
“How is Color Splash better than Sticker Star” I’ll tell you.
Aside from the battle system (which I unironically think is decent for what it tries to do), the gameplay is fun. Simply put it, Sticker Star fails at being both an RPG and Adventure Game, while Color Splash succeeds at being an adventure game, while still falling flat in the RPG department.
There are a lot more characters with interesting personalities in Color Splash than in Sticker Star (even though the designs of these characters are just Toads most of the time)
Huey is WAY better of a main companion than Kersti. Like seriously, Huey is just a chill, funny dude and Kersti is this short tempered granny who gets really annoying fast.
The areas in Color Splash feel a lot more real and less formulaic than Sticker Star, which had the levels split up into worlds, having names like 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc.
While you may not like the writing, about 99.99% of people who played this game do and find it to be one of if not the game’s best aspect.
Lastly, you bring up the issue with Things in boss battles, and while yes it is a dumb concept, I don’t know why you’re claiming that Things are “lightly used” in Sticker Star where as in Color Splash, it goes “all out.” I don’t know what game you’re playing, but to me both games handle bosses almost the exact same. If anything, it’s a lot worse in Sticker Star because there are A LOT more Things in that game than in Color Splash and Color Splash also has the Know-It-All Toad who gives you a hint as to what Thing you’ll need for a boss.
So judging from what I’ve read from this comment, you’ve either never even played Color Splash or… um… yeah you’ve just never played Color Splash
@@RenardioMFG You responded to someone who indirectly stated that something released on the 3DS cannot possibly be a "main title". You probably wasted your time being logically elaborate.
@@lpfan4491 well whatever, I don’t really care
Sticker star just has an asshole main partner, color splash has one with genuine character development
Sticker star has little to no humor, color splash at least has any
Sticker star just makes you guess what thing cards to use and also has some random set of invisible blocks with no indication that are required to progress, color splash has an npc dedicated to telling you what thing cards you should bring and doesnt have any invisible block bs
Sticker star has a final boss thats just 90% more random thing card guessing (and also one non-thing card cus why not lol), color splash has an actually unique final boss in terms of mechanics
Sticker star uses a world map for seemingly not a good reason, color splash uses a world map to keep throwing "fun moments" at you while still having the world feel connected
Sticker star makes you suffer to death if you dont bring the right thing card, color splash just gets it over with and kills you
Sticker star has infinijump.
The attack selection is absolutely a patience and inventory organisation issue on your end
Color splash actually makes it clear when to use a thing card
Color splash doesnt crash the game for seemingly no reason when using a specific attack on a specific enemy
Color splash makes you actually fight bosses instead of spamming infinijumps to just skip the part where you need the thing card entirely
TL;DR color splash is better in every way, you just try and deflect any arguments against that by saying that sticker star is "just different" and therefore just automatically excused or something (being forgettable and on a handheld console makes it impossible to be a bad game i guess)
@@lpfan4491 except it quite literally officially is a main title, you cant just say "idk it doesnt count lmao". being on a handheld console doesnt mean a game cant be bad and is automatically immune to all criticism. so no, nobody wasted their time, its just a mainline title and even if it wasnt its still not an automatic win or something. it literally is a paper mario game, you cant argue against that because it is a factual statement. your opinion has literally zero say in wether a game is part of the mainline series or not
I think Paper Mario 64 was probably the best just because of the originality. For Nintendo, there hadn't been any other game stylized like it was. The spin offs are great, but it will never match up the the magic and nostalgia of the 64 bit version. Thank you for another interesting perspective on these games! Keep up the great work!
@VP Of Rent'em Spoons Facts!
I will give Paper Mario 64 a couple of things:
The world is probably the most cohesive out of all the Mario RPGs. Everything feels well connected and every chapter has a unique entrance.
I feel the game does a better job at pushing you towards using available resources/tactics against bosses later in the game. TTYD I feel didn't do that good of a job at pushing the player towards using any tactics and resources towards boss fights until the final boss which of course ended up being a difficulty spike to young players back then myself included.
@@vpofrentemspoons2278 hell no. that game is garbage. Paper Mario > legend of the seven wusses all day
I know I'm late, but you forgot to mention probably the best part about this game in my opinion. The dialogue! It was very funny to me and there are good moments in the progression. The gameplay works great, and there are some funny battles. The washing machine, anyone?
Color splash has a good ost and story situation. But its put in a decent game
You see, it's not that the game is lackluster in fact the game is amazing including Sticker Star (which is probably my second favorite game, after Color Splash) but everybody's always saying the same things but first of all
Everyone's being such hypocrites. They're talking about how there's no creativity, yet all of them want the same features that PM64 and TTYD had.
Secondly, are yall that impatient? You're telling me that the time it took to beat Shadow Queen Peach and Bowser in PM64 is fine, but just a simple battle is too much, like come on!
And, lastly, I love Nintendo, but honestly I think it should stop making Paper Mario games not necessarily because I hate them, but because for some reason the fans will always find some way to hate them, and always relate to the first two games. And the fact that people are just watching the trailer of TTYD's remake and already getting hyped is way too biased. Color Splash, Sticker Star, and SPM are my absolute favorites and all the time people are going "Oh, the battle systems in these games are nowhere near as great as TTYD" when the battle systems are now simpler. Overall, TTYD and PM64 are too overrated, and everything else is underrated.
I only played it for a little while I remember and then got bored and sold it
That wasn't colour splash that was sticker star
I guess i overlooked why they hated it so much
idk why people hate this game. it's a great and humurous game and i feel like all the hate is undeserved
These mfs when they realize they can still play the first two (or three) games despite the newer games still existing:
This same guy made a video on why Mario 64 sucks so I’m not even going to take any offense to this because clearly he just has a lack of taste
Color Splash even thought I didn’t beat it it is still a Paper Mario Game that I enjoy even with its flaws (don’t get me wrong they still kinda bother me) but I still enjoy the game a lot is it my top favorites? Nope Origami King and 64 are my favorites but it would be still a rank below those 2
TTYD,SPM,SS don’t count I never played those
Lol
so as someone who got this game cheap used. Should I sell it while the price is up?
From what I hear, yes.
At least try it first to see if you like it, then you can sell it if you don't like it
@@KoCat2867 seems valid lol will do!
NO STOP PLEASE ITS THE BEST GAME EVER
@@supernstic.7777 The comment is one year old, if the guy wanted to sell it he already did it, and it's clearly not the best game ever, you might have liked it but that doesn't mean it's a good game, liking something doesn't mean that it's good
never played any paper Mario game after (super) paper Mario! ... Well If you count Paper Jam!
Am i the only one that loves and enjoyes that game?
no, thankfully.
i love it more than you.
@@supernstic.7777 bro it’s my favourite game ever with amazing soundtracks. Shame on Nintendo, that didn’t bring it to the switch.
@@SamuelMK-YT were getting married
@@supernstic.7777 lmao same thoughts, same thinks about this wonderful masterpiece of Nintendo. This game really deserved to be on switch and I think it will return 1 day.
Maybe this was the reason why Paper Mario was rejected for SSBU. 😆
Huey solos.
New games, old games, it's basically guaranteed that for any casual gamer, the first game they play in the series, they'll like the most. Even more likely if they were a kid when they played it, as nostalgia takes over.
I think even the dumbest of casual gamer, if they played the old PM games and compare them to the new ones, most will probably tell you the latter are trash and couldn't believe they enjoyed them
@@nobodyinparticular9640 Even though I personally agree Paper Mario should never have deviated from the TTYD formula (though some small changes would be welcome to keep things fresh), plenty have played the old ones and enjoy the new ones. Not just out of new age nostalgia.
Side note, I think the greatest travesty is Paper Jam, as it not only doubled down on the sterile new Paper Mario, but corrupted the Mario & Luigi series as well.
There's also the stupid "thing" system. There's no strategic value to their usage in boss fights, you simply need to use the right thing to progress the fight. What's even the point?
Your acting like color splash is worse than sticker star. Ain’t no way
Press B.
Couldn't watch because of the constant mispronunciation of Mario.
I love paper mario color splash
this game is my childhood and ive always wanted a port to the switch so bad. im very sad that people hate it even though it has a banger soundtrack. the only reason why people hate it is because others say they hate it making them believing that its bad and hate on it for no reason. this game is literally the best game ive ever played and no one can stop me. come on guys, show some respect. and come on, stop hating on EVERY new title if it's not like TTYD or 64. i mean, imagine if EVERY title in the series was something like TTYD. the battle system would get repetitive and there would be no concept at all. i get it, it may not be as cool as the others, but come on, this was on a poor selling console along with other bangers like mario kart 8. just, please. stop hating on it.
I agree with this statement.
I.
Love.
This.
Game.
Perhaps instead you should grown up and see what's an actual good game instead of liking garbage
@@nobodyinparticular9640 perhaps instead you should shut up because nobody asked for your opinion
we are getting married NOW
So first, you said it yourself but it's your childhood game, of course you're gonna like it since you liked it when you were younger, to young to actually care if a game is considered good or bad, and that's also why some people would prefer that the new paper mario games where closer to the old ones.
Secondly, "the battle system would get repetitive", if it was always perfectly the same it would, even though it would take so much time that it might be too much time for the serie to be still alive. Look at the fangame/mod of paper mario TTYD and 64, always the same gameplay and there's tons of them and nobody complained that it was repetitive. Do you know why ? Badges, just because of them. The main core of old paper mario gameplay is really basic, you can either jump, hammer, defend or use an item (and also special moves but since it's unique to each game I won't go into it), but with the addition of badges you can create for yourself new opportunities during fights and new ways to play, meaning that you can fight the same boss in a lot of different way.
Also, changing a bit the formula to avoid being repetitive is a valid point, but changing doesn't mean taking a formula and putting it in a trash can. There's a lot of ways to change a formula to upgrade it while also keeping it similar enough compared to the older games so people recognize the gameplay. Look at Final fantasy for exemple (it isn't the first choice I would take for that example but it's one of the most known one), at first it was just turn by turn, then they added the time bar for character to take their action that everyone know of and it's still in the recent game, you recognize a final fantasy because of this bar. For a nintendo exemple, you could take a look at Zelda, it's the same gameplay and same idea, you advance in the game and do dungeon, these dungeons give you new items/power up that let you advance more into the game and let you do newer dungeon that will also give new items/power up.
What they did with Sticker Star and Color Splash isn't trying to avoid repetitiveness, it's straigh up trying to create a new game but putting it onto the Paper Mario licence and then denying it. If it was another new licence and not a Paper Mario game, these games wouldn't get so much hates.
It's one of the most recent games besides Smash Bros to feature the Koopalings.
Hi!Where can I get personal nintendo ninjas? I want them to work against people who hate a certain paper mario game(without weird things,I love it. It it repeats itself but not really,it its a weird thing . Also,I feel like this its the old mario movie anger because on a critic look it its bad but you enjoy it when you play it)
But I adore this game
Color splash is my favorite game
I’m so sorry
@@pressaTD its OK we all have different thoughts
@@pressaTDI remember the game used to be like 30 bucks 4 years ago(pre-owned) and now I searched it up and it costs 90 dollars on Amazon 💀💀💀
@@pressaTD Bruh, he has an opinon. Get over it.
I, personally, think 64 is garbage and TTYD is very mid. Sue me.
Sticker star is worst
Bro this game is my childhood what do you mean :(
I love Color Splash, for me one of the best Paper Marios after Paper Mario 64 and Thousand Year Door.
Color Splash IS very good It's different but it's still very good.
COLOR SPlASH IS THE BEST GaME ITs SO UNDERRATED
I dont consider color splash as a wast of time but more like a rushed game
I love that game so much.
Good video
It's my favorite game
marry me

THE GAME ISN'T A WASTE OF TIME THIS VIDEO IS >:((((((((((((((((((((((( I DISLIKE!!!
(This is a joke, great video)
Do you like the game?
Game is definitely over hated people cry out loud for a game they don’t even like
If you don’t like it just leave it there yes you can say your opinion but do not gate keep people from playing it

Good game just not near as good as the first 3 games.
✨LUCKY!✨
You lost a lot of people’s respect.

He lost the respect of people with no taste and no critical judgment, I feel like that's kind of a good trade.
@@siphons5737 but isn’t sticker star worse
@@MsmKlayMore Doesn't mean that color splash is good
@@siphons5737 still though
Origami King is (in my opinion) way worse. I could be misunderstanding the game, but Color Splash is fine. It has some funny moments, its soundtrack is great, and I personally like the battle system. I honestly think the game deserves a Switch port, with a battle system that other people like.
To be honest my only reason to complain about moder paper Mario games are the lack of unique characters, otherwise, Im fine with it
But I love the game
Your just yapping because it’s your least favorite.
Nope, Color Splash didn't kill Paper Mario. Just because Nintendo doesn't want to listen to a bunch of thirsty teenagers on their knees begging for Thousand Times Easier than a normal rpg doesn't mean the series is dead. It's by far the best game. It's hard, has good graphics, an interesting story, enaging gameplay, and loads of replayability. It has its flaws, but its worth a second chance.
In all honesty, the first and second ones aren't even that creative.
That's your opinion but you are in the minority and Nintendo wants profit. Thing cards also ruin boss fights.
First, a game being hard or not does not make it a bad or good games, there's a lot of good games that are easy and lots of hard games that are bad. (and that's from a guy that like hard game to the point of making me regret my choice of game while playing)
Secondly, good graphic doesn't do everything, and honestly, a Nintendo game (except Pokemon) won't have bad graphic.
For the story, I won't talk about if because I 100% forgot it but I can at least assure that it's not the best stories of the Paper Mario.
Thirdly, replayability, well, this term means that you can play a game in different ways without feeling bored or that it always look the same, things that help with that are either not linear game (and none of the Paper Mario games are not linear game) or a way to create builds and random drop that will help making these.
Let's look at the two first and color splash for that:
For the two first games, you can create builds with badges that you get during the game or as drops from ennemies, these badges let you have new attacks or effects like more hp, more FP, more power, more defense, adding a chance to dodge an attack, riposting when an enemy attack you, getting FP when you lose FP, getting FP/HP at the start of a turn, taking less damage when you block, exchanging a power point for a defense point and the opposite, getting more power for the price of either not being able to jump or hammer, being able to use more than 1 items and some other things that I must have forgot because there's quite some badges in these games.
Furthermore, these games have items that have also different effects, most of them heals HP or FP, but other can also upgrade your defense/attack, adding a chance to dodge, not taking damage for a certain time, inversing your HP and FP, being able to riposte when an enemy attack you or just directly attack one or more enemies with effects on top of the damage (As for the badges, I didn't put all of the effects of all the items because I lost already too much time on this).
All of this allow you to make strategy that let you have a new way of playing the game, either making it harder or easier. I'm sure you can agree with me that it make the game replayable.
So now, let's talk about Color Splash, what is there in the game to make builds :
Cards of different effect like attacks, healing, putting spike on your head to not take damage from attack from above, having a Tanuki tail to being able to riposte from attack from the side and... I'm honestly already blanking on what there is in the game so I went to look at the wiki (thing that I did not do for the two older game) and from what I can see, there's the frog suit that let you evade attack like in a Mario and Luigi game and a card that make you gain paint, something you can already easily get outside of battle. There's also monster card but all of them are just attacks and same thing for the... Things, most of, there might be one or two that does something else but from what I remember it's just an attack that hit everyone.
So you can't really build anything with that, it wouldn't be that bad to build a kit you would keep the cards but since you loose them after using them you can't really build a kit. That doesn't seem well for replayability, but let's take a look at bosses, strategy shine the most against bosses since you have to use all of your tools to beat them and getting a feeling of reward after seeing that your strategy wor... And there's only one way to kill all the bosses (apart Bowser maybe, don't remember), so we're going to forget the strategy part of replayability.
So for Color Splash, you can't really build a stable kit and can't use your brain for strategy since it's kind of useless. For TTYD and 64 you have a lot of choice that will stay, making it feasable to create strategy that will work on normal enemies and get rewarded on bosses if you thought about it long enough (and yes, every badges that have a real effect [So not the one that only do sound] can be used in a strategy to beat a boss, even double pain).
Yeah, that doesn't look good for your game, but, I mean, there's always your last point, maybe it's something that will make me change my vues on Color Splash.
So, hmm, creativity, hmm, well, let's not take into account character and let's look at the places in the game, I remember none of them so let's go to the wiki !
So, just first look at the world map, it looks like a brush, that's kind of a nice touch.
Mondo woods is nice, nothing out of the ordinary but making a small Mario create a new of looking at forest.
A hotel with ghost inside, at first I would have sayed that it wasn't done before but, uh, 64 already did it with a Mansion, and then added a character that eat ghost leading into creating good character so...
Plum Park, I'm sure we can find something like in any other Mario game.
Sacred forest, Mondo woods but in reverse... Did they already had no idea left ?
The pirates level, even if it looks like the pire level from TTYD I like it, a part of the idea is the same but it is done differently enough for it to be unique.
The circus level is a fine concept so I'll keep it in my mind.
I didn't adress all of the level because the other honestly look uninteresting. So in terms of level, it's 50/50. Let's take a look at the bosses, in terms of bosses, the only unique ones are the Shy guy with a mask on him and the Steak, out of 15 only 2 are special enough to be considered unique, that's kind of Sad.
As for TTYD and 64, I honestly have put way too much time on this so I'll just say that the only not unique levels of these games are the first one but if you count it then you also take the first level of Color Splash as a not unique level (and they are like that because it's to let the player understand how the game work before putting some more complex visual on him), the train level from TTYD (not the best but that the same thing for Color Splash) and the Bowser Castle of 64 since, a Castle from Bowser isn't anything new, and that also include the one from Color Splash.
As for the bosses... I only see Bowser as a not unique bosses (I only put it as a not unique boss here because I put it as a not unique boss in Color Splash), and for TTYD it's more like a mini boss than a real boss that is with another mini boss who is 100% unique.
After this analysis, I can safely say that Color Splash isn't more creative than TTYD or 64.
So yeah... Color Splash isn't better than TTYD or 64, sorry to burst your little inner bubble of childhood but I guess someone had to do it. (However, that doesn't mean that you can't like or have fun on the game, it's just that you can't say that it is better than the older ones.)
Engaging gameplay? You mean the gameplay you can ignore and run past all the enemies because there is no character progression making every fight pointless?
@@ruily276 who actually ignores the enemies🤣
@@TopTierGamerMan Why wouldn't you? It's absoloutly pointless and you are better off saving your cards for boss fights.
