It’s great to see Paper Mario back in action. In the pantheon of Mario games, this series offers up a delightfully offbeat, light-hearted, self-referential take on the plumber’s world. The central conceit – that the world and its inhabitants are all constructed out of paper - has given developer Intelligent Systems plenty to work with over the years, and the studio has used that choice to inform every aspect of its game designs. Each new iteration has seen either clever refinements or outright reinventions of the gameplay. So it is again.
Where the last title – Super Paper Mario – moved to real-time combat and placed the ability to flip between a side-on 2D perspective and a 3D world at its core, Sticker Star returns to the storybook presentation and turn-based battles of earlier games in the series, but tosses out most of its RPG elements. XP and levelling are gone, party members are out, and badges have been nixed. In their place? Stickers.
