Paper Mario Color Splash | The Completionist

What do you mean you wouldn't associate funny with Paper Mario? These games have always been the most comical of the Mario series.
maugos the most comical were Mario and Luigi rpgs but I see where he's coming from because memorable moments of the paper Mario series were dark
iva epoN Mario and Luigi has more visual humor
iva epoN HAHAHAHAHA!! Now if M & L had writing like your comment, I would agree with you. Paper Mario is surperior in every way, imo.
The first 3 Paper Mario games focus more on subtle tongue in cheek humor and witty character interactions. While Mario and Luigi focus on a more boisterous and wacky slapstick oriented type of humor. Both games are humorous, but in their own way.
Sticker star on the other hand focuses only on making paper/sticker jokes.
Color splash is a little better in that because there are some genuinely funny jokes hidden under all the visual gags, paper/paint related wordplay, and self referential jokes.
I was referring to your comment being so untrue it was comical. So I said, if M & L had writing like that I would find it funnier than PM. I was just saying a joke, no ill will towards you.
One way the battle system could easily be fixed is by NOT having every attack be consumable. Why not just keep the jump and hammer be 24/7 attacks. That way if you didn't have the exact card, you still had a means of dishing out some pain.
It doesn't even make sense. Why does Mario need to rely on a card just to do something he's always been able to do? I can understand cards like the iron jump or eekhammer, because they add to Mario's basic abilities, but the regular jump and hammer? That makes no sense. Plus, he can jump and hammer all over the place outside of battle, so why does he need a card to jump and hammer in battle?
NinjaMaster909 True
Zachary Erickson I'm honestly fine with the current exp system. Just have a default attack system and get rid of those stupid Things and the game's fine.
How will the no story issue be fixed >.
Jacob Carpenter they are cards, because they want you to think strategic, and when you dont have the card, you need to avoid certain enemies
7:30 "You would never associate funny with Paper Mario..."
It's almost like this is your first Paper Mario game...
Joopsh Whort I had to rewind it because I almost thought I misheard that
SPM and CS make me die of laughter

I miss the spoiler section.
Every time there's a new video I hear this repeated more and more weakly.
Lorraine LeCube Same here. I liked it because he explained the end of each game's story. If I was interested in buying or playing the game I'd skip it, otherwise it provided closure. Now the videos just feel a bit incomplete.
Lorraine LeCube why not have spoilers in a show about COMPLETING THE GAME 100%.

I like to think of Colour Splash and Sticker Star as a separate series from the rest of the Paper Mario games. These games look much better if you don't compare them to the masterpieces that are Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario.
Super paper mario is not even close to a masterpiece, probably the most overrated game in the series (i know that ttyd gets more praise but the game kinda deserves some of it). Color splash is a paper mario game, sticker star isn't.
Then why make them PAPER MARIO games? Mario used to be so good about keeping his experimental games as their own things. Dr. Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Sports games, You knew what you were buying & Played what you payed for. But nowadays you have to buy a Mario game & hope it's what you wanted to pay for. That's just plain sloppy.
+SUperMario145 super paper mario is pretty damn good, sure the gameplay could be improved, but it has the ebst story of ANY mario game period and has the best villains in the franchise. plus it also has the best characterisation of peach
aceotaku And.. .. i don't give a shit. The gameplay is terrible.
This is what Nintendo wants Paper mario to be. This is the main series now!
Sticker Star and Color Splash are interesting experiments, but seriously, what's next?

Staple stanza ( a poetic paper mario game taking place at staples)
Bet you're really wishing you thought of Orogami right about now
ECL28E origami king lmao
I’m glad Nintendo used none of these ideas...
ORAGAMI is the next paper Mario game and people are calling it a horror game
saw 2 guys fighting over a pre-owned copy of Mario kart DS today at GameStop, an employee was cheering one of them on and when the other guy grabbed the game and went to the checkout he refused to sell him the game and proceeded to sell it to the guy he was rooting for. 5 minutes later the employee was walking out the front door crying with a pink termination slip in his hand and then yelled a bunch of swear words through the mall. yeah crazy day.
LMAO and what exactly did the GameStop employee expect would happen after doing what he did in the store? For his store manager to high five him? That employee is an idiot.
Who was he supposed to sell it to?
***** Probably the guy who originally brought it up to the counter.
Not that it matters. He already dun goofed by encouraging the customers (or a customer since he was playing favorites) to fight over a game.
megamarsonic Too true. I'dve kicked them out if they were acting like that.
Wow.
13:51 Enemy Cards: Temporary Partners that help you in battle soo....
You guessed it...
*COLOR SPLASH HAS PARTNERS*
Dude, writting in Paper Mario was pretty great.
And this time, they're just trying to play the whole "irony" card at all the beaten Mario formula stuff. But there is no irony or comedy in doing exactlyt he same stuff, but with a whitty comment.
"Oh, no, here comes that Bowser again, kidnapping that princess!" - if you just say that over the kindapping being bland and you still having to save Peach. You need to do something more that just acknowledge the pattern to be ironic. Have Bowser steal her in Peach-shaped trap, have rotating doors on Peach's sell, have Peach greet her prison guards by name and ask them how their families are doing.
You have an RPG, with a chanse to make things different, not bound by, for some reason, obligatory Mario formula of collect stars, save princess. But instead you make just another Mario game - and this time the gimmick machine pointed at "Paint" as the gimmick that makes it all so different.
But, you see, I'm not ranting about Nintendo sucking their thumbs dry for ideas while not really caring for Paper Mario, with them having a place-holder instead of the plot and cutting corners as with having all the NPCs being Toads, overall making this "Mario another one" instead of a memorable game - no, I'm not doing THAT, I'm just being ironic.
demilung
Good points, besides Peach calling the guards by name and asking how their families are doing. That's just fucking ridiculous, would you do that if you got Kidnapped? Start some casual conversation with enemies of your kingdom?
That's kind of the point. She's been kidnapped so many times that yes she would start talking to the guards.
Twisted Toon Taylor
Even if she did talk to them, I don't think the conversations would be friendly. Imagine being kidnapped every so often by the same person, you'd be pretty angry, I'm sure. Just my opinion though. Maybe you just see something in the idea I don't.
Well, in this fairy tale land where the same guy can kidnap the Princess of the kingdom over and over again, and everyone being extremely casual about it, something like this could happen. I mean, in original Paper Mario, Peach was pretty friendly with her captors already, she could be on first name basis with them by this time. Anyway, I was just talking about a way of making this a real joke and not just stating what is happening, while figuratively rolling back your eyes. I mean, if we talk sence, Toads wouldn't be talking so casually, as they did in the game. Saying "Oh, hi Bob, how's the wife?" to the same guy that tried to rob your store a dozen time is exactly what would happen in a comedy.
If you don't like any of the examples I've given, here's another one: Peach gets thrown in the cell, sits on the bed, pulls a book from under the pillow and continues reading from where she left it last time she was captured.
Cookie V.3 Plus from what we learn from the Shy Guy on the train in the game Bowser's forces are just a bunch of regular folks. Peach is so nice she'd totally strike up a conversation with her guards. Heck the only reason they wouldn't let her go is they don't want to face Bowser's wrath.
I place my comment in attack state, place 1 card face-down and end my turn
I play double summon to type two comments in attack mode
Loom Master I place two comments face down and finish my turn
zerosfire05 and doing so you activated my trap card eliminating are the cards in your hand
i ment comments in ur hand
Manuel Solis Think that'll stop me from winning this? Just wait until my next turn, and I'll show the true power of my comments!
Wait what? "you wouldn't associate paper Mario with funny, let alone a Mario title"...but the Paper Mario series has always been witty and comical, and as for other Mario games all of the Mario and Luigi titles have some hilarious writing. Now, Jirard, I know you have only played the first game in this series, however if you didn't pick up the witty humor and comical writing in the script, then I believe you may have been too involved in getting another Completionist episode finished as apposed to actually taking time relax and enjoy the story and all it has to offer...and I recommend you play the game again and take time to enjoy it. Still love you though brother.
FINISH IT!
He could've just not found the humor in the first game funny, as maddening as that sounds.
color splash isnt that bad
Then there's Super Paper Mario, which while it can be funny too, takes the seriousness from TTYD and cranks it up to 11.XD
No the rpg series was funny
TTYD often had a darker humor in it, which is why i love it.
I got color splash when it released and I loved every second of it! I am happy to see someone who gives this game a fair chance, so many videos on TH-cam just talked about how it's not the same as ttyd and that's why they think it's terrible. This game is super fun pick it up if you haven't already
TRUE
It's not TTYD, but it's a good time, still
Me too! Absolutely loved it from start to finish!
"Paper Mario has yet to have a game to live up to Paper Mario 64"
...Thousand Year Door was really good, wasn't it?
that's when happens when you skip games, you tend to miss out on things that should be common knowledge
Its the most solid of the series, it's not perfect by any means but again still the most solid in terms of story, gameplay, characters and so on.
Though could be argued that Super Paper Mario had the better story or at least one that is more darker then Thousand Year Door.
Star Wars has yet to have a movie to live up to A New Hope.....
I didn't watch any other movie therefore I skipped The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi but I'm sure that's not important lol
And SPM too don't forget that...SS failed and CS tried a little....and failed lol those games can't even compete with PM64 which was made back in 2001....such a shame
+styleugly16 yeah exactly although I think overall all three succeed at all categories!☺️...and ss and cs fall flat for all the categories...such a shame
"Are there female shy guys?"
Let me tell you a little bit about an internet man named -8
What?
Angel Ramirez it’s better you don’t know
Oh no, you just didn't 🤣
Please no, I don’t need to be reminded of that.
Hawk Gaming What? The Shy Gals are cute
Jirard, see, in Sticker Star, you didn't even get Hammer Points. At least in Color Splash you at least get something! :D
Dear god, this is one of the most visually impressive games on WiiU
"You would never associate Paper Mario with funny". Uhh, have you never played a Paper Mario game before? They are probably some of the funniest games ever released.
Most apologists of sticker star/color splash haven’t played the old games.
The very Last korok he has though. He's done a whole video on the original one a year before this.
I’ve played almost all the paper Mario games and not one line has made me laugh out loud unlike Color Splash.
The first 2 games don't really have that much humor in it, bits here and there, but no HAHAHA moments
@@LuckiBelly Have you not played SPM, that game has you legit go to hell and they call it The Underwear.
Jirard you have to play TTYD, and Super Paper Mario. Both games are fantastic especially if you liked Color Splash
pull the trigger now
What?
Strangething problably because you claimed Super Paper Mario is a fantastic game
Super paper Mario was an incredible game my favorite out of the paper Mario series
Super paper Mario had no replay value. Easily my least favourite after Sticker Star
"Are there female Shy Guys?"
Oh god, you have no idea...
regardless of what anyone says, playing through this game was one of the happiest times I've ever had playing a game, I don't know exactly what it was, but it just felt so great. I wasnt a huge fan of sticker star, though I didnt hate it like most, but this game is so great.
Look, Splatoon part two is here!
PLS JIRARD
Midrulean Hero jesus christ he hasnt even made that yet?!
only took him a year and a halfr!
splatoon is overrated just like pokemon
Sonic Ace 24 I like spatoon
"Are there female shyguys?" Oh Jirard you sweet innocent soul. #shygal
youwould never associate funny with paper mario
BRUH
THOUSAND YEAR DOOR PLS
"You wouldn't associate funny with Paper Mario"
"There has yet to be a game to live up to Paper Mario 64"
...Jirard, I love ya man, but you really should've played the rest of the series before this one. Comedy is a central pillar in the PM series, even 64, but more apparent in each successive entry. And TTYD is universally regarded as being the best. Please, even if not for the show, go play TTYD, Super, and SS, and then you'll have a better idea about why people love the first three, and why they have issues with the last two.
But why didn't you review the Paper Mario games in order, and review Thousand Year Door, Super Paper Mario, Sticker Star and then Color Splash?
its Black Friday he always reviews a new nintendo game on Black Friday besides this isn't the only franchise he has done out of order calm down TYD isn't that great I replayed it recently before getting color splash and it wasn't quite the game I remembered so of the problems I complained to fanboys of the game about like back tracking wasn't quite as bad as I remember but the charicters didn't have as much personality as I thought they did outside of their main chapters -_- Also playing a lot harder rpgs have made the game a complete joke to me :( Serously how did I ever find this game challenging? Color Splash has it's problems but so does every Paper Mario but I've enjoyed all of them except Sticker Star and that's because all of them besides Sticker Star were fun is Color Splash as serous as the first 3 no but it is funny as hell and unlike sticker star the paint mechanic alone makes the cards more interesting than the stickers because you have to consider whether or not it's safe to use your biggest atacks because they use a lot of paint and that could leave you high and dry later
Hippy Dude And Mario, he hasn't reviewed 3D Land yet.
+Nicktendo 1 He also hasn't reviewed Zelda 2 and Skyward Sword, He hasn't done any Final Fantasy games out side of 1 the entire 7 contemplation and Tactics. Serously he doesn't review games in any order
Because you leave best for last?
+Vvonter and that's a debate and a half because each game has it's ups and downs. I think the original has the best doungons, TYD has the best combat, Super has the best story, and Color Splash has I think the best non doungon locations outside of the orignal's Toad Town and TYD's Rougeport -_- Serously they all have good aspects excluding that one handheld hick up
Damn that presentation might be one of the best on the Wii U
Criminally underrated game. Wow did I ever judge this book by its cover. I'm not done it yet and I am so hooked!
Chopper cool to find someone who likes the game the same level as me :)
I refuse to watch a portion of this video until I get to the end. I am at Mustard Cafe after the Purple Paint Star
i am only at the temple thing(only know the dutch name) it's pretty hard actually
Chopper "judge a book by its cover"
LETS IGNORE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED THE GAME WHO HAVE SERIOUS CRITISUM ABOUT THE GAMES FLAWS AND CALL THOSE PEOPLE BLINDED IDIOTS
A: Spelling error. B: I'm not calling anyone idiot.
I really love the humour, pacing, and creative art diretion on this game... the battle system doesnt me bother too much and I really enjoyed the game
I love playing Ma-Ri-O! Red-Eyes Black Bowser is my favorite card!
I legit miss when you used to spoil shit FAM.
GenWorldGaming i agree.
huh maybe he should start a post video series that are 10 minute videos on the spoiler stuff thats linked in the description and after videos for those that wanna listen to spoiler stuff on the games he plays so he can still talk about it and fans can still hear it if they wanna/when ready
The lack of experience points, making fights pointless, and the fact that all NPCs are nothing but toads instead of the variety we had in the first two Paper Mario games really hamper the game.
If just those two things were fixed, it could have been enjoyed by more.
Cascade Hellsing
There are EXP in the form of Hammer Scraps that drop out of enemies. Collecting enough increases the amount of paint Mario can hold. And there are some NPCs that aren't Toads in the game. There's not very much though.
Actually there are some enemy NPCs as well.
The hammer scraps are like getting a bigger wallet in the Zelda series. They're not actual character growth they just allow you to get more loot.
But those same drops are found in adventure portions, so no. Battles are utterly pointless
Jacob H
Yeah, I wish they had handled it the way they did in the old games.
Liking or disliking this game is an opinion. You *are* in fact allowed to get pissed if people you follow (or don't) have an opinion you do not agree with. It is a little known fact that you *don't have to* like someone's opinion, and are allowed to point that out. Disliking things and saying it out loud is *not* a crime!
But shoving it down everyone's throat and demanding other people hate it is.
Look, I was in a similar position- I'm a MEGA Banjo-Kazooie fan. I was SOOOO excited for Nuts n' Bolts. And you know what happened when it was released? I FOUND IT WASN'T WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE! But you know what? I GOT OVER IT! I decided it wasn't the end of the world AND MOVED ON! IT's NOT THAT HARD!
@Chromasus
Thank you.
You're allowed to do anything you want as long as it's not illegal but it's pointless and stupid for you to get mad that people don't like the same things you do. My brother doesn't like video games but it's be stupid for me to get upset over that. We still get a long just fine. Kinda pathetic that you're looking for something to get pissed off about.
Of course other people can have different opinions on the game he even says so at 22:46
This game helped me out through a really bad spot in my life. It was so much fun, so clever, funny, with gorgeous visuals and and amazing soundtrack to boot, I can say that this is my /personal/ favorite game in the Paper Mario series. Thanks for being so open when playing it, Jirard~
Reading some of these comments, I feel that the Paper Mario series is going down the same road that the Sonic games have. It seems like the developers are trying so hard to appease all the fans by trying so many new things, that it's just fracturing the fanbase even further. You have the people who like the more RPG-style of the first two, you have the people who like the sidescrolling-gameplay of SPM, and, of course, the people who like the more Super Mario-esque style of SS and CS. I'm not gonna deny that I'm a fan of TTYD (it's really fun, but not without its flaws), but it feels like ever since SPM (which i also enjoy quite a bit), the fanbase seemed to stop being eye-to-eye with each other, and now everybody has a different idea of what Paper Mario should be (its not as bad as the Sonic series, but you get my point).
Or maybe I'm wrong and I'm looking WAY too deep into this. I dunno, I'm sure everyone in the comments will let me know in a nice and polite way.
P.S. Christ, this was WAY too long.
Yeah, your right. the fandom is just so divided. it's not as severe as the Sonic fanbase but still. As for me. I'm interested to see more improvements with the Sticker star gameplay if they are really continuing with this. COlor SPlash really showed that this can work. SO I wouldn't mind. and I've been a fan since TTYD.
Sonic is going downhill cause Sega as a whole is insecure about Sonic as a franchise and never take a chance when they think they have something good. Colors could have been a series, Generations could have been a series, even Lost World could have been a series but because of Sega's lack of faith in it's own franchise, they keep tearing everything to the ground and redesigning everything which is why we ended up with the abomination that was Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Altoryu That's was Big Red Button's fault. Sonic Boom is just a spinoff series. it has no effect on the main series at all.
the Sonic fan thing is very true. I'm a Sonic fan and I see stuff like that all the time. some people were even disapointed with Project 2017 for not being Sonic Adventure 3. Although, I do see why people compare the paper Mario fanbase to the Sonic fanbase. because of how hostal people get when someone criticizes the games. it's not just Sticker Star and COlor SPlash. it's also 64, TTYD and SUper. As someone that ended up liking Color SPlash. I'll be optimistic with what they do with the next game. rather it'll be Sticker Star 3 or TTYD 2. I'll be fine either way. since CS showed me that the SS gameplay style can work.
I love BOTH CS and TTYD!
Unpopular Opinion: I loved sticker star
Question have you played Paper Mario 64 or The Thousand Year Door, just a question. Also I haven’t played sticker star, I’m just not interested in playing it due to battle system and lack of interesting characters.
Cool its fine if you like a game most don’t people! Everyone has there own opinions
It was fun. I liked Kersti.
"WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?!?!" I never get tired of seeing her say that at the beginning. XD
Every Friday, when I came home from school, Me and my Mother always had Pizza to celebrate a week accomplished. She watched on Netflix while I played Paper Mario Color Splash. I finished the game 2 times. I plan on playing it once a year. To freshen things up.
so why doesn't he tell us the ending anymore?
Cameron Keith Because a lot of people stopped watching at the story section, so he removed it altogether.
Cameron Keith Pretty much TH-cam analytics. If people skip part of the video it isn't as good for the channel, that's why he suddenly changed the format. You see a lot of TH-camrs adapting nowadays, like ProJared stopping to release one minute reviews.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This game is honestly a hard recommend for full price.
The music is fantastic, graphics are great, and the writing is the best localization Nintendo has ever done.
But the most important parts of a Paper Mario game (Gameplay & Story) are bad and nonexistent respectively.
As a PMTTYD fan, buy this game used, or on sale. You wont regret it.
Bobber WCC If story is one of the most important aspects of Paper Mario, then why do people praise the first one so much when it's story is as simple as a main series Mario game?
+Nicktendo1
It's basically a more elaborate take on that story. "Princess kidnapped go save, but you've got people to talk to this time around". I feel it gets a pass, being the first game in the series. Kind of like how one would say "If Sonic's all about speed, explain Marble zone and Labyrinth zone from the *very first* game", you see?
Although SMRPG technically had more going on...
Nicktendo 1 More people would praise the second game as having the better story.
VonFirflirch I wouldn't think being the first game gives it a pass, but whatever. It doesn't matter, it's still open to criticism. Especially with Sonic the Hedghog breaking its own rule in the first game. That's a problem which shouldn't be overlooked just because it's the first one. I could understand if it was due to technical limitations, but that's not the case with Paper Mario OR Sonic.
Nicktendo 1 I agree with you. When I first played Paper Mario 64 (February of last year), I was kinda bummed out Bowser was the main villian. Not only was it because I played many Mario games after PM64 came out, but disappointed because Mario's first RPG ever and his first handheld RPG had new main antagonists, while this chose to stick to the giant turtle we've fought many times at that point
Hey man, Super Paper Mario was awesome, if you don't mind the nearly entire removal of RPG elements, the story, characters, music, and bosses are worth experiencing.
Go play Super Paper Mario, Jirard. For your own enjoyment.
Super Paper Mario is filled with story, characters, music and bosses. Its a great game.
The only thing wrong with Super Paper Mario is the lack of turn based combat. But everything else about was great. unlike Color Splash it wasn't just a copy paste Mario story; it had a good story, good characters and a cool gimmick, switching from 2d to 3d
That made it great! But opinions so y'know
In the words of markiplier "you do you, and I'll do me, and we won't do each other, probably."
***** I personally prefer the combat style they went with, made it more available to a larger audience. My only problem with the game is the serious lack of post-game content.
Cousin Timbo Tousen How is having to play with virtual cards, constantly looking down on the gamepad, coloring in the card and then swiping it more available to a larger audience than the tried and true, "pick enemy, pick attack, next turn"?
you know 80% of these viewers dont complete games so not showing us is depressing
it's a decent game, but its a game that no one really asked for.
To me, it's the quote-on-quote "sequel" I never thought I wanted.
Danny Hernandez Well did anyone ask for the first Paper Mario? lol
Yes, people did ask for more Mario RPGs back then.
say the same for sticker star and super paper mario.
People did ask for Paper Mario, but it was called Super Mario RPG 2 at the time.
Before this my mind was BLANK about how cool this game was! Thanks for PAINTING THE IMAGE of how awesome it is! I'm gonna JUMP into my car right now to buy it!
How was it? Good,bad or meh?
@Ahmed Hasan It was meh. Played it six years ago and barely remember anything of it other than being Sticker Star 2.0.
This game is way worse than a lot of reviewers are making it sound. It's painful to battle in this game, as it's so poorly designed.
Atleast Sticker Star had battles that I could stand, whereas Color Splash has the most painful battle design in any PM game.
Using buttons does not take away from the fact that there are way too many steps to make a simple battle command. It also doesn't add in partners and more interesting element to the battle structure as a whole. The battling in Color Splash is worse than it has ever been in any PM game.
It didn't, but that was a handheld PM, not a mainline game. The stickers were also way better than the boring cards.
You said it, buddy. Hopefully next time they change things up and make this a first-person shooter with a mature theme in Mushroom Metropolis!
Can someone tell discount gamexplain to piss off and be salty somewhere else?
I really liked this game! I did indeed feel the "all battles feel the same" thing. Though, the dumpster toad always tells you what cards you need for the bosses so I never had to die.
This game looks...
AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for covering this, Completionist crew!!!
what the fuck do you mean the other paper mario's weren't comedys?
djblaklite they all are, but color splash is just the funniest game ever
I've been a huge fan of Paper Mario games since I was a kid. this game looks great.
So . . . basically all the fans are right. Better than Sticker Star, but not qualified to count as Paper Mario.
still waiting for Garfield Kart
Kropolis You spelled "The best game of all time" wrong!
Been a while since I saw so many people get mad at a game.
Or, what's even more hilarious - sometimes getting mad at people who say they enjoyed the game.
This is one of my favorite games, had hours of fun playing it
I also heard this game's writing was exquisite. I'll give this game a try in the future.
Welcome to the comments
Scroll back up
The comments suck today
You should expect this if you scroll down in the first place.
color splash is good tho
Umm... Where?
The Problem with the Card system in fact is the following:
There is no reason to fight. What do you get? Color and Money. You dont Need Color if you dont fight, and all you need money for is to buy cards, but you already used cards to fight, so in the end, it sums up to 0 effect. And in an RPG it is kinda bad, if you have no reason to fight, because usually they are defined by their battlesystems.
RhodosGuard You forgot the hammer experience
SkyDiams Team the hammer points really don't do anything
RhodosGuard Same with Paper Mario.
Why upgrade your HP and BP if you're not going to fight?
Boss Fights
Buber Marcus But you ARE going to fight in Paper Mario because battling enemies doesn't feel like a chore or an expense of precious stickers/cards. Battles feel engaging and rewarding when the entire system doesn't boil down to using battle items with some action commands sprinkled in.
watching your videos after I complete the games is my true completion bonus.
"With toad's dying breath..."
he screams I CAN'T FEEL MY PANTS!!
"you wouldn't associate paper Mario with funny, let alone a Mario title", Jirard, you need to play Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario. While this game is overall better than Sticker Star in some areas, the biggest problem is still the fact that this isn't an RPG, its just a turn based action game. It's not what Paper Mario truly is/was any more and that's why so many people are disappointed with it. What brings even more pain to long time fans is that there are people that like Sticker Star/Color Splash and don't care for the older games. Now, people can like what ever they want and enjoy what ever they want. That's always ok and fine and no one should tell anyone what they can and can't enjoy. But where the pain for older fans comes in is that if Nintendo sees people are ok with these changes that were forced upon the series (even if its not all fans, just that anyone is ok) they will keep on making games that don't fit the mold of what fans of the older games wanted and thereby we become disappointed because the games we knew and love aren't there any more. Maybe some aspects are still there but the package just isn't the same. And that just feels bad. Thanks for at least trying to look at this game objectively. I can only hope that we see a game that has this level of presentation in the future but returns to a standard Mario RPG formula.
Hey, I've been around since TTYD and I like Color SPlash. sure it has some issues. but I think it's just as fun as the older games. but it'll be interesting to see what they'll do with the next Paper Mario game. either it'll be Sticker Star 3, TTYD 2 or a mix of both.
The Switch better have Game Cube classics for Virtual Console (specifically TTYD and Sunshine) or so help me
I loved the writing in this game I was busting up all the time! It was so adorable! Ughhhhhh I loved this!!
I really love this game, even after 4 years, this is my favorite paper Mario. Everything from the humor to the exploration is great, and I actually really do like the battle system
I agree with literally every part of this comment
In my opinion, the game itself is a lot of fun but feels like they focused in everything BUT the battle, the battle mechanics feels like an afterthought. Most set-pieces and interesting mechanics in this game ALL happen outside of battle.
Battles really become repetitive and end up dragging the game just wishing we can reach the next charming and hilarious set pieces.
Part of me feels that if they didn't want to use the old PM battle gameplay they should have gone action RPG and it'd have been perfect.
How have you not done the thousand year door?
Trevor Grover - Well, he completes games weekly, he reviews a Mario game every black Friday, and he was given this specific game by Nintendo. So, he probably already had a list of games that he planned to complete on a weekly basis, this specific game fell perfectly into his Black Friday routine, then he skipped the rest to played this game out of respect for the company who gifted it to him.
i like this game actually , but i also liked sticker star :P
14:59 simple.
make sure you have all the thing cards for that path for a certain paint star.
Color Splash has so much fun content in it.
It's amazing :3
Color Splash is very endearing and beatiful it's not perfect but it's very enjoyable. I can not belive I got so attached to a can of paint! Nintendo really does MAGIC :D
Super Paper Mario is equal to Thousand Year Door, just because its different doesn't make it bad
"Oh. Everyone hated how every attack is consumable in Sticker Star? Let's make another one, but this time instead of Stickers, they're cards!" -Nintendo
of course he liked it, he MUST like it
I feel like i'm the only person who likes Sticker Star.
***** Yay! Someone else who likes it!
The Fuzzy Ocelot I liked Sticker Star, I like all the Paper Mario games
Same here, i loved that game. It got a little annoying at times (looking at your flipflops, kamek), but i liked most of it. Come to think of it, i haven't really disliked or hated any games I've played. A few haven't been ones for me that I've found boring, like counter-strike or civilization, but i never felt the need to complain about them.
I like Sticker Star too. It is rare to find fans of Sticker Star for good reason, so nice to you guys
You are not.
Something that Jirad didn't mention is that compared to the other games, Color Splash has more instant kills (Other then bosses killing you with one barrage of attacks dealing loads of damage, I mean hazards or failing objectives types of instant kills) then every other game in the Paper Mario series combined.
Watching lucky cat, reminds me of the concrete donkey from Worms 2.
whoa whoa whoa hold the fucking phone Jirard. Paper Mario and Mario games aren't funny? My dude. That is objectively false. The Mario and Luigi series in particular thrive on comedy and Paper Mario has ALWAYS been funny except for Sticker Star.
When will he start the Mario and Luigi series
I LOVE bowsers inside story
Wow, a game with the Luigi death stare and I'm the boss references? Well played Nintendo.
I love your videos Jirard. I legitimately look forward to them every week. You produce really great stuff, and you put so much work into absolutely everything.
That being said, I hope you and your writers can find a little more time each week to improve these scripts. I know what you're trying to say, and I can appreciate how stressful it must be to produce one of these videos every single week, but some of these lines still manage to be very poor. Here are just a few examples from this video:
"Mario smacks the can with his hammer, to find out that the can is actually a living being called Huey the Paint Can, the guardian of the Paint Fountain"
"The completion bonus is okay at best, you'll still walk away feeling pretty super rewarded"
"The secret ending will leave a smile on your face and give you a nice happy button to the entire experience"
"How about a piggy-bank that turns into a break-dancing piggy-bank with crazy backgrounds"
"A plunger that sexually plunges its way onto the battlefield"
"When the game gets creepy, the music gets creepy with it, and you feel creeped out"
"And Color Splash does this like the colors of the rainbow"
"With Color Splash, I feel like there are a lot of wonderful things in here, with a dash of bad stuff. And the dash isn't too bad either, it's just not as exciting as you'd want it to be"
"The more paint stars you collect from the levels, the more levels that will open up on the over-world hub. They're marked off by the colors of the stars you collected, and eventually the whole thing will tie together like a beautiful map"
I know this is very nit-picky, and I know most people wouldn't have even noticed, but it honestly destroys the pacing of your videos for me. Some additional proof-reading could have gone a long way in improving this script.
I still love your work though. Keep it up!
don't do this game, DRINK WHEN HE SAYS PAPER......you will die.
***** its a loot of papers in the start and it comes form time to time later.
also yo do not know who much volume i mean ether so.
i guess you don't know what that word retarded means because you liberal use of it.
Finish it? I would recomment people to WATCH it
The paper mario sense of humor and writing are still there, but the Battle system and the story are not
You are better watching a walkthrough of it
This game was an amazing experience for me to 100% and I am glad you also completed it Jirard. This game gets lashed out on for no reason, it's not TTYD, people need to just expand their views on games and take the game for what it is. Nintendo is a company not afraid to try out new ideas with their franchises, which is a good thing. Congratulations again on completing it!
Thanks for satisfying my wonders about this game! I honestly had no clue what to think of it.
This game lost an entire point just for having that damn Ro Sham Bo minigame sidequest. So many good minigames over the years, and this is all they could come up with as a fun change of pace?
Its truly just some aggravating bullshit
Huh. Expected to see Thousand Year Door before that one. Oh well, it'll be good :)
You know, one really interesting thing I noticed is that it looks like Paper Mario's sprite work has finally been changed. I could be wrong here but it seems like they updated his design between PM 64, and PM:TTYP , and it just stayed that way for Super Paper Mario, Sticker Star, and even Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Just something I noticed.
Also,after watching the whole video, all I can say is that This game is exactly like Sticker Star, except Kersti is now Huey, and there's an annoying paint mechanic now. I give it my score of 2/10, not only because it's bad, but because it's... the same game, except worse, because they tried to repackage it and sell it off as its own thing when it's not. It's Sticker Star all over again, but on the Wii U.
I am so happy that you love this game as well, I love the Cat o luck thing card a lot as well
I loved this game, haters have to give it a try
Why does Mario jump during exploration for free but have to use a card to jump in battle?
Because... Fuuuuuck you. *i dunno*
I actually really enjoyed Color Splash when I played it, and I'm pretty sure the main reason people complain about it is because it's the sequel to sticker star
Super Paper Mario = Best Paper Mario. It has the best story, the best visuals, the best soundtrack, the best gameplay (it's not turn based, but a great platformer with RPG elements). It's control was nice and simple, It had the best partners, with bowser, peach and luigi, the best overworld, etc.
When I entered here, I thought he was going to destroy a game that a pretty apreciate, since it wad the first Paper Mario I played, but no.
He took as the game it is: a beautiful game with an incredible story, funny and fantastic dialogue and, of course, not a very great battle system, that I think it's that: just not so great...
Thanks for giving Color Splash a decent critic and a emotional explanation!
Y'know what, power to you man. Don't be scared having a controversial opinion, even if some people don't agree with it.
I really like color splash it doesn't have a good battle system but I usually don't like battles after a while in most rpgs so for me it was really fun and I had a good time playing it .
To me, this was one of the funniest games I've played in a long time - not just smile and keep going funny, actual laugh out loud funny. It's not without flaws, but it's a step towards a Paper Mario that I could see myself sticking with, since Nintendo is hell-bent on avoiding a true to form Paper Mario RPG now. If this style is polished up more, and we keep getting the lengthy subplots to connect levels together in the old Paper Mario style, it can work.
I know, I'm not a real fan now for saying that, crucify me if you wish.
I actually really loved this game. I don't know, it was just a pleasant game to play through over a few weekends.
I LOVE PAPER MARIO STICKER STAR(It was the first game I got on my 3ds.)
Cards are limited
Bosses nearly require their weakness Thing
No incentive for normal battles
So... Color Splash decided to fix _absolutely nothing_ about Sticker Star's trash combat?
Great.
yeah but the graphics are fantastic
The_Echo Well it does give you an incentive to fight.
They seem to think that fans will really warm up to this battle system if they make it really pretty and slap some self-referential humor in there. This game would actually be a lot better if they just slapped SPM's combat system onto it in a 3D environment. Then you wouldn't have to slog through boring battles to be just a few coins better than you were before. You'd be able to appreciate the great visuals more. And the game wouldn't require so much padding if they didn't have to account for so many people just blowing through it because they hate the battle system.
+redjarman If they wanted to show off the graphics they should've just made a movie.
color splash isnt that tho
Regardless of how the developers consider Color Splash an "action-adventure" game, its turn-based battle system is derived from RPG games. With that in mind, an RPG-esque battle system where your basic attacks are finite does not work well in Paper Mario. Intelligent Systems may have nailed it with Fire Emblem, but here it's cumbersome, especially because it didn't need that extra limitation in the first three games.
Also, Nintendo seems to enjoy addressing the fans' issues with story elements by making ironic remarks to them, instead of fixing these issues.
* Fans are tired of the Bowser-kidnaps-Peach routine? Quote from a Toad in Port Prisma: "Bowser just kidnapped Princess Peach! Nobody could have expected this!".
* Fans complain that Toads are cowardly and useless? Quote from a Toad in Sunset Express: "(...) we've just been standing around waving our arms and blinking rapidly. Toads aren't really known for being proactive."
This isn't how you make characters likable, nor how you fix the long-tarnished reputations of fan-least-favorite characters. I'm personally more lenient than most when it comes to these characters (I've certainly never wanted to mass murder Toads on the grounds of "being useless"), but even I get upset when I'm not given enough reason to sympathize with these people other than "I'm a good guy and I must save the day for the sake of everyone", because it makes the task at hand feel like a chore.
On another note (not addressed in the video), how long does Nintendo plan to continue using silent protagonists in their games? Mario, Link, Ness and many others may have a lot of charisma from appearance alone, but they all have a serious case of "cardboard box syndrome". If I wanted my protagonist to be a reflection of myself, I'd play as my Mii. Silence is golden, sure, I get it. That means it's valuable. But silence, much like gold, is also fragile. If you rely on it too much, it'll make you look passive and it won't help you in making decisions (I would not choose Mario as group leader in a zombie apocalypse).
Bruno Pacheco Ferreira to be fair though, the localization team were responsible for the ironic remarks
Don't forget that even Fire Emblem no longer has durability on their weapons in Fire Emblem Fates, only on healing staffs [which is ok since otherwise you'd just use Mend or Physic every turn and keep everyone fully healed] and items.
AzureRoxe Really? I didn't know that. I guess that improves accessibility for those games?
That Other Guy That's localization staff for you. They say what we're all thinking.
*****
Not sure. What they did do is give each weapon specific ups and downs like lowering or increasing certain stats, weaker weapons that are designed to debuff the enemy, etc. The Silver weapons [and their magical equivalent] actually split your main stat [strength or magic] in half for a few turns to offset how powerful they are.
I'm so glad I came back to this since my LP of the game is almost done
Damn...that is the most realistic lemon I've ever seen in my life.
You do realize the reason Color Splash's battle mechanic is criticised is because it's the EXACT SAME battle mechanic as Sticker Star.
"Exact same" is a bit of an exaggeration.
They're similar yes, but there are enough differences that they're not just copy-pasted.
They changed the name
...that counts right?
It's a turn based system in which all of your attacks are based on your inventory instead of action commands and "leveling up" only increases your inventory and for some reason you can't select what specific enemy to attack.
Either way despite it's similarities to sticker star's battle system it's heavily flawed in different ways. Color splash's Inventory is now tedious to navigate because of how large it is, performing a solitary attack is arbitrarily time consuming, having to set up a chain of attacks will often fail if an enemy dies to early, despite the abundance of resources the card/paint system still feels wasteful, Bosses now absolutely *REQUIRE* the use of thing cards when the developers could have easily made it possible to win without them. AND in rare cases a player can be locked in a helpless position if battling a magikoopa and a flying enemy as their ability to flee is taken away and their inventory can be changed entirely to hammer cards that can't hit flying enemies.
See, just having the opening scene at some generic house, and having the toad not be Toadsworth is what gets people so angry about this game. It pretends that the other games don't exist.
Your icon and username is amazing.
The house is a load of barnacles.
The cat card ine feels like a damconrompa cutcene
21:15 If you wanna know what it is...
Huey falls back in the fountain proving that he survived bringing all that black paint far away.
