I've heard so many people who thought or heard Color Splash was an awful game until they decided to pick it up for themselves. Although I definitely need to do some second playthroughs of the rest of the series, Color Splash's first playthrough was my favorite of the bunch. Awesome video :)
so true I loved this game it has charm it’s witty it’s fun and sure the battle system is meh and more characters would have been better but people treat it like it’s the worst game ever I mean I played at least 4 time the first time I beat I full on cried with happiness and I think all the games are amazing in different ways it’s sad that people hate the newer ones because they are different it’s dumb because Nintendo has always done this they have always tried new things with every game they make they try something new another thing people say there isn’t exp but there is all in all color splash is a great game so is every paper Mario game
I’ve always loved color splash since i put the disk in, it’s a shame that people hate it even though they’ve never played it
1Yoitsjoe yea IKR i tried origomi king and tbh it’s one of my favorites in the entire seories yes i don’t really like the first 3 as much as sticker star and origomi king there still great but they aren’t perfect like people say i really liked sticker star and origomi king and hell i played the hell out of paper jam for what they were not what they could have been so please older ttyd fans give origomi king and the newer 4 games a chance
I really liked color splash when it first came out and I really liked it and it still is such a great game, what's your favorite part?
I bought this game for $2.99 the other week at Family Video, have put in 4 or so hours. I think it's an absolute blast. It's one of the reasons I rarely listen to reviewers. Every negative review I've seen is just complaining that the game isn't like the Paper Mario that released on the GameCube. I even read that when this game was announced, people started a petition to have the game cancelled. How embarrassing. Imagine getting that upset over a Paper Mario game, lol.
People dislike it because its "not thousand year door", Color Splash is great in its own way.
Yeah
That's what I've gathered after actually playing this game. It's great, the hate towards it is weird.
@@birchmahogany2718 I played it when I was young and had no idea people acted it. I loved it. I felt like I was going on an adventure.
Yeah, people just don't understand that things change all the time. (also i dont really like the TTYD or 64 battle system, especially TTYD as you can keep taking damage even when actually speedrunning)
@@leohaddad9225same
I got bored with it on my first time playing, however, I'm currently replaying Color splash and it's a blast so far.
I loved it the first time and second time I played it.
The only reason the fans don't like Color Splash is because they're brain-washed by TTYD.
But as it's own game, Color Splash is an EXTREMELY Good game with tons of memorable and fun moments.
I feel like if paper mario color splash had a battle system that I enjoyed, it would of been AMAZING. I say this because besides the battle system, I loved every single thing about this game. The visuals/art style, the puzzles, the characters (despite looking bland they have personality), and the good humor! I just dreaded doing battles as I do not like the card system.
Does that make The Origami King the ideal? 🙂
Autobot Starscream I haven’t played it, but from what I heard about it yes! Seems like I would enjoy that game just fine
I just don't like battles in general ,the boss fights are usually fun but in most RPGs if I can avoid a fight I probably will.
Paper Mario color splash is not a perfect game but it’s still a amazing game. The battle system is not great and the boss fights are not very interesting. But the world is amazing. I remember playing the game when I was little and being so excited to explore a new level. Anyone remember the haunted mansion level? That one was amazing. Also the writing is good too
@Tom schwartzmans it was very dark, super mysterious and cool also. Plum park is also super cool since it’s close to it and also feels super eerie.
Original-The thousand year door: 4 years
The thousand year door-Super: 3 years
Super-Sticker Star: 5 years
Sticker Star-Color Splash:4 years
Color Splash-The Origami king: 4 years.
Paper Mario games have been releasing every 4 years on AVERAGE, not consistently
Weird that the game after TTYD isn't after 1000 years
Once again, Neal is the voice of reason
Guys, there is no right or wrong here. Let people have their opinions without you getting annoyed. People enjoy different things, that’s how it is.
Thats much easier said when a franchise seems to have been hijacked and totally mutilated into something different when there wasnt a need for that to happen in thr first place
I 100% agree with you that the series is totally ruined, but some people like the new games, and we gotta respect their likings.
While I can’t agree with you about Sticker Star, I’m glad more people are seeing how great Color Splash is. My second favorite game in one of favorite series.
What's your favorite, mine is Super Paper Mario.
HyperGamer 120 The Thousand-Year Door. It’s overrated, but still the best in my opinion.
My favorite is Paper Mario 64
My fav is color splash
My list, best to worst:
Ttyd, while overrated it's still the best imo
Super, its an absolutely amazing game, the only thing holding it back is that it came out after ttyd
64 and color splash (almost equal), they both have amazing charm, just one has a flawed battle system
Sticker star, I tried my absolute best to like this game, in the end I found it just ok
If you disagree, that's ok, it's your opinion.
Currently origami King looks like it'll probably replace color splash on my list and move it down
I love the writing in Color Splash, shame so many people spit on it without even playing the game.
I played Color Splash when it came out and loved it, I'm 31 years old (now) and grew up with the originals so I can't tell you how fucking *annoyed* I've been the last few years having to endure Arlo's shitty fans calling me underage for liking something different or linking back to his terrible videos on why I should feel bad for enjoying it.
Videos like this give me life because shocker, the game has a pretty dull opening with the stupid sage garbage but once you're past that it's creative and fun. Seeing people finally enjoy it and give it some respect gives me life.
The medias gives voice to the sheeps and the mass opinion of the clones. Meanwhile, hight I.Q people with videogame culture know how to enjoy quality, art, humor and originality in a videogame.
I really wish color splash was released on the switch because it then it would’ve gotten the praise it deserved
True, I want to replay this masterpiece :(
>Someone does a video about Color Splash being a good game
>Arlo Stans: *We're gonna end this guy's career*
Sure bud act like arlo is toxic
AaronABC W I don’t know much about Arlo’s fan base, but the fans ≠ the creator
I'm a fan of his videos but i like what I'm seeing, just cause your a fan dosnt mean they all agree with everything they say tbh.
This game is terrible lmao
@@aaronabc
I mean, he is toward the recent papaer marios, he even said it himself on his second color splash video AND during his origami kinghe is super pessimistic and sour about random stuff like "ho, a bob omb, are they rubbing it in our face just to not let him fight with us?" or something like that. Or saying that the thousand folded arms looks lackluster because it is go on sign/press action/ continue wich is the exact same thing TTYD did with the curses, but god forbide acknowledge a paper mario otherthan TTYD
I get so annoyed when people call color splasha bad game. I don’t see how you can’t like this game other than the battle system. Most the people probably haven’t even played this game since it was on the Wii U And I always see people criticizing it and it drives me crazy
People have different opinions...
Toaster Cannibalism I know but it still drives me crazy
Should I be driven crazy because people like SS and CS?
Toaster Cannibalism I guess you are right But it is very annoying when I say I like color splash and then all of these people comment you’re an idiot for liking that game.
It does have bad game design that makes some things unwinnable by accident, so yeah...
This was the last Mario game on the Wii U
I'm so glad to finally see someone who can see the way color splash improves on the flaws of sticker star. This is one of a few youtube videos that seem to indicate a color splash renaissance. I love this. My dreams have come true.
wow imagine improving on the worst rpg Nintendo has dropped this era. They could have dropped a turd and it would have been better than sticker star. Sticker star which they already did in Mario and Luigi Rpg.
Finally Someone Who Does Like Color Splash Like Me. I got bullied Because I like the game
My first Paper Mario game was Sticker Star so that was Paper Mario to me, playing through Color Splash and seeing how it advanced upon the previous game's mechanics and fixed some problems was amazing
That Guy 3604 I completely agree. Same goes for 64 and The Thousand-Year Door. The first Paper Mario game I played was The Thousand-Year Door, so when I played the first one, 64, I saw how The Thousand-Year Door fixed someone issues, making it better.
It however created unwinnable problems
I feel terible for you, imagine your first game in a franchise is the ass of the franchise. Its like never eating food in your life, then getting fed Mud Pies and thinking it tastes amazing.
My first Paper Mario game and I loved it!
Same! I’m also exited for the new one : D
mg first one was 64
I'm guessing your 9 lol
My first one was sticker star and then I got color splash and I loved both of them. The battle system was okay, there wasn’t really any flaws to me other than that it’s a bit tedious to look for that one sticker/card you need.
BradleyJames Barlow YESS FINALLY XD
Essentially it's just Sticker Star done right
Exactly.
Except for bosses that are actually worse than in Sticker
I just picked up paper Mario on my Wii u, I might pick up color splash tho
Keith D. Color splash is the Wii U kne
@@Mommavery yeah but so is the original paper Mario
Keith D. On virtual console, yes which is only digital... how did you pick up paper Mario for the Wii U? Did u mean you bought it on the eshop
@@Mommavery I think you might be taking it a bit literally, but yes the eShop
you should pick up super first
Color splash was my first and only paper Mario game I have ( so far ) and it’s good to know that people think it’s good too
If Color Splash is great, then TTYD is the best game ever created, Paper Mario 64 is a masterpiece, and Super Paper Mario is Amazing.
Ive played every game in the series, except TTYD, and I gotta say that i preferred color splash over N64 and super, it just appealed more to me. Sticker star sucked though.
And sticker star is still ass
This. Color Splash is a stinky gash.
@@davidrounds768 I can't believe you haven't played TTYD. I hope you have by now. Edgiest installment in the series. Most personality. Best script. Polished battle system. Maybe you just like games with no personality.
*cries in sticker star*
THANK YOU! This game isn't perfect but it deserves wayyy more credit than it gets. Too bad this video might be getting attacked by Arlo fans and others alike...
When I first saw playthroughs of color splash, I loved watching it. I thought it looked so cool. And when I got it, I really enjoyed it. When I first heard of how much hate there was for the game, I was so confused.
Say you've never played a real paper mario game without saying it
3:25 Boy do I have some GREAT news for you!
I'm only 13 so when I first started this game after getting a wii u in 2014 this was one of my main childhood games besides the old ds games, and I'd just like to say that the music track , art style, and down right creativity that was put into this game is very nice for a game made just 1 year before the Nintendo switch was released it truly shows the work nintendo put into their games even when their consoles are dying.
I feel terrible for you. Imagine the first candy you eat is a mud pie and you just think its good cause its all you know. When LOSS remake drops you'll get a taste of a real mario rpg don't worry kid.
@@TheWharbleHarblecolor splash Is the best in the series
i know its been 3 years but FINAL SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS THIS IS A AWSOME GAME
This is so underrated i played origami king on yuzu and i actually enjoyed this one more than the switch one
this game was really damn good, especially surprising because I hated Sticker Star.
Am I the only one who kind of enjoyed the card based battles in color splash
Wow I feel like everyone has a similar experience with it huh
I got it for like a bday or Christmas or something and only played it up to Bloo Bay Beach before getting stuck and completely forgetting about it. I found it a couple years later and I have now completed it from the beginning like 4 times and it is now my favorite Paper Mario game
I wish people gave it a chance too. People think of it as a "Sticker Star 2.0", like it took everything sticker star did and amped it up, but it is "Still just *Sticker Star* 2.0".
My Gamepad charger broke and I've been waiting many days for the new one we ordered to arrive so I could play it again. It arrived today.
People in 2016:this game is awful
People in 2020:yea it’s pretty cool
that's the general consensus on wii u games.
I guess we weren't ready then.
This game and many others are the reasons why I love the Wii U. Color Splash really delivers it for me, it is an awesome game. And yeah, the battle system is not that good, but it doesn`t ruin the whole game, especially when you have such great music, writing, and worlds to explore, it`s just such a blast to play.
Great video! Hopefully Color Splash does get a port to Switch one day
I like how at 1:15, it sounds like he threw Paper Mario: Color Splash out of frustration because Barack Obama won the 2012 election.
Obama Bin Laden / Barack Gottfried
I first played ttyd, then color splash, then super paper Mario. I loved ttyd and liked Super Paper Mario. Color Splash was weird; I didn’t like the battle system but I loved most of the rest of the game. The battle system was so bad to me that I don’t know whether to like it.
Color Splash just ISN"T a good Paper Mario game. Its an ok game for what it is, an experiment, but its a failure of an experiment or it would have gotten an encore like every other successful game in history (counting rereleases)
If I see sticker star at my local Cash Converters, I’ll pick it up!
I modded my Wii U and downloaded the Jack Sparrow version. I enjoyed playing it.
3:16 this is why people are so excited right now!
i don`t like sticker star but i like color splash.
I recently beat Color Splash too after not playing it for 4 years and I think it's fun as well but the battle system and lack of exp/leveling up killed a lot of the potential the game had. It is a good game but I never want another game with a sticker or card based battle system again and I have high hopes for The Origami King since it seems to do away with that mechanic, even though there's a chance that the game may not have exp/leveling up, which is a little worrying but we'll see.
Nintendo should have done the smart thing and just made this style of Paper Mario into it's own series (like a Paper Luigi or Toad game or even an entirely new series). Using the Paper Mario name is sort of disrespectful when the new games barely have anything resembling it's original 3 games had especially when, Nintendo themselves go out of their way to call the new games Action/Adventure games rather than a RPG.
Sure Color Splash is not an outright bad game but it's nothing like Paper Mario used to be.
The much higher emphasis on comedy would've worked much better if the main character was Luigi or Wario for sure, it would've also helped to differentiate the 2 styles, so people know what their getting with a new game, buuuuut that would involve not naming the game after Mario, which could hurt the bottom line unless they were really interested in turning it into a full blown series, and with how non-committal IS seem to be with the IP at the moment that was likely never on the docket.
@@Renigade68 Yeah, it sucks it has to be this way (though I think Nintendo has way more leeway with making the new Paper Mario games into a new (sub) series since the Switch is selling pretty well and most Switch games produced by them are guaranteed sellers but I digress.
If you ask me, I think the old style of Paper Mario could be turned into a new RPG spinoff of Mario, since the name Paper Mario lends itself more towards paper element games like Color Splash and Origami King. Maybe they could call it Mario Story since that's what the series was called in Japan.
I didn't play Super Paper Mario, and I want my time back for Sticker Star, but Color Splash is really enjoyable. It's what I am working on right now
I will say...it's not perfect. The battle system itself is minimally rewarding and makes you want to wait until later in the game to complete the colorization of areas and card donation so you can just hit or jump on enemies to instantly defeat them..
But anyone who discounts the game because of said battle system is missing a fun story, tons of humor (always something that makes me chuckle), amazing music (some of the music stays in my Playlist) and a fully realized world that is fun to explore!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!! Part of the reason is because this is like the first video game I ever did play, but STILL
Paper Mario = Super Smash Bros. 64
Paper Mario TTYD = Melee
Super Paper Mario =
Sticker Star = Brawl
Color Splash = 4
The Origami King = Ultimate
Super paper mario
Color splash was my first paper Mario game.It’s special to me
True.
I honestly think color splash is a great game it’s mainly for the patient people
Paper Mario color splash in the best paper Mario game
Color splash is one of my favorite game yet and I'vebeen playing paper mario since the very firstone back in 2000. The problems are blown out of proportions simply because it's a game built on the fundations of sticker stars andnot TTYD
Color Splash is a lot of fun and a relatively good game. I feel like it could have been SO much better if they included more original characters and improved the battle system. If they did those things people would have probably thought color splash was one of the best games in the series.
SolargressGD I couldn’t care less about original character designs as long as the character’s personality, and I would say Color Splash (and even Sticker Star) have great personalities to be talked to.
The locations were perfect tho, especially the hotel and the whole train chapter
Say you like easy games you can walk through dodging most enemeis and still winning without saying it
hell yes, i love this game to death. easily my favorite game on the wii u (if we dont include 3d world).
I liked the exploration hated the combat, always skipped the combat , the story was...ok... and nothing more
color splash is the best
Nah
Color Splash is a good game, not great
I mean, if it wasn't for the weak battle system and the passable overarching story you could argue it'd be great, but as of things actually are
Ye, nah
It's just ... good. Not more, not less
At least thas how I feel about it
I loved that game so much! It was my GotY in 2016. It's one of the few "feel good games" I played in my life.
The shittiest games get GotY all day
Except for the boss fights, Color Splash was brilliant. But it was a bit dull to need a specific card to beat the bosses.
And also weird bad game design that makes some things unwinnable by accident
My first paper mario game was super paper mario Wii because I was born 2006
That story about the Club Nintendo survey having less than 1% say the story and writing mattered to them makes me gag EVERY time I hear it. 1% of what number? Who were the fucking cretins who participated?? I'm pretty sure that over 99% of the people who like Super Paper Mario at ALL only like it because the writing was still so good. This survey result baffles me to no end in the worst possible way and it KILLS me that the result of what feels like honestly an anomalous poll ended up swaying the direction of the series so far off course forever.
Like you, I also could not finish Sticker Star and that made me not want to play Color Splash. Just got into it though due to covid and the TOK announcement and I got to say I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. I think it helps that I came into this one with a better mindset of what it is than I did with Sticker Star. It's far from perfect but definitely and enjoyable experience.
Weeb
I'm glad you rediscovered Color Splash. While it is disappointing all the characters are generic NSMB designs, I'd say if I were to rank them this would be third on my list, below Paper Mario 64 but just slightly above Super Paper Mario.
replay 64 before you rank it above it, im playing 64 and sticker star, and 64 gets played more.
I really loved colour splash
I picked this up the other week and was aware of the hate directed towards this game. I think it's a blast so far. It's like a child's adventure game with a simple turn-based battle system. The graphics, exploring levels, and the OST are top notch, peak 'Nintendo' IMO. Videogame fans are weird in that most people don't play the game they they rail against. I would wager that the bulk of people never played this game and never will.
Emphasis on childs adventure game. This game is like a phone game. You can play it without even looking.
I would simply disagree@@TheWharbleHarble
It’s not a classic Paper Mario, but it is a fun game, and the game is fun as Reggie said.
i wanted a classic paper mario, even in a vacuum color splash is ok its a few stair cases down from the original paper mario and best spinoff paper mario is super paper mario.
sticker star and color splash.
sticker star used to be a sequel to tttyd with a chain chomp partner.
thats it, color splash got destroyed because of sticker star.
even super paper mario beat them.
origami king is currently below even super paper mario, and a few stories below paper mario 64.
bug fables is a paper mario fangame reskinned to avoid nintendo copyright.
i cant wait for bug fables and im replaying 64 before ttyd.
color splash doesnt exist in a vacuum.
The only Paper Mario game I fucking despised was Sticker Star
I could deal with color splash if the battle system wasn't so god aweful and if it had more partners. Huey was great though
I don’t have a child around me where can i get one?
the thumbnail and title and contradicting
great and good are very much different
Oops. Well, it's great.
A great game you might say, but is it a great _Paper Mario_ game?
I guess it really DOES depend on what you're looking for nowadays. Clearly, there will be this everlasting divide amongst the older fans and the newer fans. For many, Color Splash was their very first experience with the franchise. So they would have no attachment to the older games. I can't blame them tbh.
I'm... Curious about Origami King but after Sticker Star kinda just killed my joy, I dunno if I should be excited for it. I know one of.my favorite things about the original Paper Mario was the distinct variants of Toads, Koopa Troopas, etc.
It's funny because I just talked about that in the comments of another video. Talking about "Russ T.", and "Chanterelle" and how their little design quirks, personality and _name_ went a long way to make them stand out from the generic variants of Toads. I guess I just really miss that element too.
Color Splash to me is just a better Sticker Star, a game that I regret playing until the end. Writting is certainly an appprovement and I love its visuals. Never a problem there.
I guess because of how loud the TTYD side of things can be at times, I always feel like I could never truly express my own love for that game and the original one. At least... Until recently.
Maybe Paper Mario just isn't for me anymore. And after the death of Super Mario RPG and the limbo state of Mario & Luigi, I'm just uncertain about the future of Mario RPGs.
When the time comes for Paper Mario: The Origami King, I hope that at the very least, it can be like Super Paper Mario was. Controversial it was but it still had that classic Paper Mario spirit within it. Ha ha.
YuseiTheSynchroHero
It reminds me of Fire Emblem and the divide there. Personally I never understood any of it. I LOVED the GBA entries, I loved Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, but, I also loved Awakening. A LOT. And I love Three Houses (Fates was the series’ Sticker Star). With Paper Mario, I LOVE Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario. But I also love Color Splash. And Origami King looks fantastic. It comes down to appreciating a game for what it is rather than hating it for everything it is not.
TLDR REEEEEEEEEEE
I will probably get this game if it comes out on the switch.
COLOR SPLASH IS AMAZING IM SORRY WHY DO PEOPLE HATE IT?
Look, I get that you don’t have the same exact battle and level up system as the original, but it still has an amazing plot line with cool characters, secrets, and still has good battle gimmicks!
Not to mention that I like the graphics more than origami king.
I find the humor funny and I have laughed quite a bit at the random bit of humor. I actually also enjoyed Sticker Star too. The only thing that I hate about the later trilogy of the games was that they made Hammer attacks WAY harder to figure out the timing for... This started in Sticker Star and only got worse... It's like "let's take away the easiest part about the original trilogy and make it annoyingly precise to get an excellent" but outside of that, they are vibes. I went in playing Sticker Star expecting to hate it, and I ended up beating it and vibing. So yeah, the internet hates them for failing to live up to Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario... I am a very big fan of Thousand Year door and even I can like these much maligned games, I just wish Hammers were not so annoying to get Excellents for.... they made it so much worse... but hey, I got really good at jumps so there is that!
The humor was bland at best.
@@TheWharbleHarble okay the wharble harble
Yes it's a good game but never will be one of the best ones. They got lazy by making the whole world full of toads and making battles useless to do since you don't get experience so you tend to skip them. Some toads do get a story but like, it's just toads...
It has some great qualities but really, when you think games like the 1000 door is from 2004.... and Color Splash 2016, I think it makes people all the more angrier that they can't put more soul into these games...
"You don't get experience" do hammer scraps mean NOTHING to you
I'm really looking forward to The Origami King. Gonna be my first Paper Mario game.
Ik it is a great game
Not sure I’d call it great, but definitely better than the worst that’s been thrown at it. Another example of today’s internet shining a spotlight on the angriest reactions and obstructing a more nuanced discussion.
Yeah. It's not great...
IT'S AMAZING!
Honestly I couldn’t enjoy color splash even when I’ve replayed it recently. I’ve tried to overlook the battle system and reliance on thing cards and unnecessary padding but I can’t. Props to anyone who’s able to though, hoping for the best with origami king.
Ye colorsplash its a good game.
The combat is entirely too mediocre (or bad) to be great, in my opinion. You actively *lose* your cards (AKA your ability do even function in combat) when you go into combat in the first place, and all you gain are some coins. And in a game where coins are literally everywhere, it makes the combat pointless. And if the combat isnt needed at all outside of boss battles, it makes a large chunk of the game, the combat, very tedious and pointless.
Id certainly say that the game is good though. Dialogue is funny, its very pretty looking, and the music is great. Lacks originality in the characters, story, and locales, but thats not because of the developer per se, in my opinion, and moreso the fact that theyre almost forced to make their game consist of essentially all recognizable characters from previous titles, and have a huuuge focus on the fact that everything is paper. Both of which are really annoying decisions to have to make for a game like this. Especially considering the sheer amount of originality the first three titles had.
who says they were forced to do anything? that's just baseless speculation.
@@GKoopa Well thats why I put "almost". Im sure it wasnt malicious on Miyamotos part (of course), and they werent "forced" to be "less creative" or whatever. However, seems pretty obvious that the stories behind Miyamoto telling the Color Splash/Sticker Star team to keep it simple and use only established Mario characters is true. There are plenty of articles from trustworthy resources that mention this. Youre free to look it up.
@@Blaze373 as far as i know they all reference exactly one line from the sticker star iwata asks (which is the one about miyamoto). that is definitely not sufficient indication of anything.
@@GKoopa Maybe! I just think that (even without any totally sound evidence) the very large change in the series that started with SS kind of shows that, for one reason or another, they werent free to do more crazy/uniqur things with the world/story/characters. Color Splash is cool, not saying it isnt lol, but I think that the change seems painfully obvious - no matter whose decision it was.
@@Blaze373 Yeah this is not leading to me saying "sticker star is good actually", just that it's very possible they made the bad choices completely themselves.
It’s really not I’ve given it a try and the only thing good that I could say about it was that it had decent dialogue and better exploration compared to sticker star. With that said it’s combat is still mind numbingly pointless and boring. For all of you who say they are necessary in order to get more paint cards and coins please stop. It wasn’t a valid argument at launch and unfortunately it still isn’t. I got through the game perfectly fine avoiding every battle I could with a cluster of cards I didn’t need. After what Tanabe said I think it’s safe to say we won’t be seeing a decent paper Mario anytime soon if at all.
You act like Paper Mario Origami King is just decent
ًit’s an “ok” game at best
@@chuganoga1908 Ok, let me guess, you think The Thousand Year Door and 64 are the only good games in the series.
Dude you just gotta accept Paper Mario isnt going back and is its own thing now.
ً no i believe the first three paper Mario games were the best.
Also maybe we all should accept the series is dead and there is no turning back from here but me along with many other true paper Mario fans refuse to support garbage design and won’t stop saying the same thing over and over again. This isn’t even paper Mario anymore it’s some new spinoff of paper Mario that flaters itself way to much with idea that everything is legit paper now.
@@chuganoga1908 Totally knew it.
You're one of THOSE paper mario fans.
Ones who think paper mario MUST be this way, and the people who like the others arent ""true"" paper mario fans.
Since ive figured out what kind of "fan" you are i know theres no way to get through to you so i guess i will just end this here.
Nintendo cant appease everyone because paper mario fans are divided between new and older games.
Sticker is a great game actually. I’ve played it. It’s good. Play paper Mario sticker star
An epic ending, lovr this WiiU game
Meh, seems like many ppl here enjoys seeing those generic and annoying paper toads over and over, and also enjoy watching the playthrough guides when they stuck on Koopalings boss fights. I'm ok with the battle system and different gimmick, it's just the lack of unique characters and enemies designs that piss me off.
what they said the story wasent good for super paper mario ok you mustve never played it
I replayed Color Splash recently and sadly I thought it was pretty bad but I can def see why people like it, has a ton of charm and unfortunately that just didn’t make up for the poor gameplay imo
I disagree, for two reasons though: The Bowser being controlled by Black Paint at the end felt like it needed another arc. The core mechanics did not reward the player for participating in the core mechanics and actually punished you.
Here is the thing... all it needs is an extra arc and some touch ups.
Keep the battle, using cards in battle, using paint in battle, and even how you get more paint the same... but when you get more paint you have an option: Color in you card book to get more space or a container to carry more paint. Throw in cards are only lost for the battle and it gets better, provided you don't mind choosing a deck of cards for battle but choose from them the same in battle as you do now.
For those who like the system as is now, you get the benefits of the same system but if you feel like you have too much paint then you don't need more paint and should hopefully get more enjoyment as now you get something useful based on your decision so you should feel more involved in your choices. For those who dislike the lack of purpose in core... there is now purpose in core.
As is though... some of the things we consider great in this world excel and have often minor flaws compared to their success as they do their purpose well. Good things tend to do it well but with flaws in the well making it bumpy.
I disagree with the notion this game is great due to the weight of its flaws, but not disagree that it is good for some people.
I do believe it could be better for THOSE people as well though and with ease yet it being as simple as it is now.
I liked this game. It wasn't my favorite but it was still a good game.
IMO i never liked the original Paper Mario or TTYD, i like Color Splash or Sticker Star better.
When are you gonna start playing the first two tho?
I still cant enjoy CS and still believe is super flawed...sorry but I'm glad you had fun though. At least TOK is better.
The battle system is crap especially the boss battles so I would like to disagree but whatevs you do you.
Did I get here early?

Finally some sanity. Paper Mario fans can be crazy.
I wish I could be so optimistic as you. I loved the first two Paper Mario games but after that the fall of the series began. Okay, I never played Sticker Star, but Color Splash was a huge disappointment. For example: You can only beat the boss fights with a special card at a specific moment but the game allows you to play that card in the battle at every single moment. THIS IS SO A BAD GAME DESIGN! I never finished the game because of things like that. The humour is great and the story is interesting but when the gameplay isn't as good as this... no. Unfortunately the Paper Mario series is a franchise which was killed by unnecessary "gameplay evolutions". I don't think that Nintendo will fix the mistakes of the past but they still have two month to convince me.
I respect that you don't like the game, but I'd like to point out that there is an npc that will tell you what thing you need, if you already have it, and is right next to the npc that sells it if you don't. The time to use it in battle is indicated through some line of dialogue, and I never got confused on when to use them. Also they're usually pretty self explanatory. Fire extinguisher to put out the flaming hammer, balloons to raise something into the air, sharp ice pick to puncture a ball, washing machine to clean all the black paint away.
@@regalia2468 But being able to BUY IT NEXT TO THE BOSS is even worse as why is it required in the first place? If it is right there given to you why not just remove it in the first place? You're not overcoming anything or doing anything smart. You're doing literally what the game tells you to do when it tells you best case... and depending on how a person reads things, as some fights have multiple lines of dialouge, you might use it too early.
The game lacks purpose to some... and the elements you describe are the very thing that causes the lack of purpose.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 I think you misunderstand. The Know It All, which is the npc who gives you a hint as to what thing you need is at town, not in any level or next to any boss. It can be used as soon as you beat a boss or use a thing card in a level, to give you a hint on what you need next. It's something to keep in mind, and look for on your journey. If you know what thing you need and have already found it once, then you can pay several hundred coins to get those items in town, instead of in their respective levels. It's a shortcut for people that just want the item now, or for people who wish to be prepared.
As far as the dialogue, most of it is near the start of the fight, or is a change to phase 2. If you actually read and comprehend what the boss is saying, it is exceedingly clear when you are supposed to use the items. The only fight in which that is not the case is the steak fight, which is a pain without a guide.
If they made it any more obvious than:
"Gwehehe! Bust out the streamers and blow up the balloons - it’s time to celebrate your demise!"
I'd be insulted.
I have to wonder if you've ever actually played the game, all of that stuff is pretty overtly told to you.
I've been playing Color Splash lately and loving it, enjoy it much more than Origami King or TTYD.
