Paper Mario: Sticker Star - review

Many years ago, the very first RPG game called Paper Mario was released for the Nintendo 64. After the Gamecube game called Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door releases, Nintendo became an outdated company when they stop making Gamecube games. The company moves on to the Wii game Super Paper Mario. Also, after a while, Nintendo takes a next step forward on the 3DS.

Back in 2012, Nintendo has finally developed the latest Paper Mario game of the series and it was released. So, what would happen when Nintendo keeps doing the series? How will the overall development for the company pay off? Well, let's read the review about the latest game of the series!

The Story:

The Sticker Fest is an occasion for the Sticker Star. It was a greatest occasion. However, the purple aura goes flying around. It's the malicious work of the evil tyrant named Bowser. During the festival, the aura flows and it's actually a dream. A crash landing crumbles the legendary hero named Mario. After he straightened out, a strange voice is heard. Someone looks like a silver crown. That sticker looks like a crown named Kersti. She will be accompanying Mario and his journey for Comet Pieces and Royal Stickers.

Using the Power of the Stickers:

There are stickers scattered across the world. You can pick them up with the A button. Also, you can get as many stickers as you can and put them in the Sticker Album. However, your album will be full. In order to get new pages, you earn a special sticker called the Royal Sticker. They are found at the end of the level while the Comet Pieces are scattered across the levels.

The Gameplay:

The battle system allows you to use the power of the stickers. To enter battle, touch the enemy. You choose a sticker from the album and you're all set! Be careful, if you use up all of them, you'll be on edge and you don't have other choice but to flee. Stickers are considered your ammo. Using regular stickers isn't the only thing, but you can use super effective ones that came from Things being flicked to the board to become stickers in the Thing flicker. They are better than using regular stickers.

If you want to use more than one sticker, press the X button to spin. It costs 3 coins. If you want to use 2 stickers, the objects match in 2. For 3 stickers to use, the 3 objects need to match. Use your strategy to defeat all enemies at once.

Paperizing:

To use the Paperizing skill, press the X button. It allows you to bring the world back to the way it was and make it better. It goes like this, if you see a purple hole, use the Scraps to fix it. Simple as that! However, Kersti is required for this.

The Best and the Worst:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star is an RPG game that can be played by kids as well. It's not a Japan exclusive, but it'll turn out. Fans of the series love it, many will love, few will hate. Although there's no party members, but it's okay. The overall gameplay will be the most important thing.

Pros:

+Paperizing is a great idea
+Great music quality

Cons:

-Some enemies are annoying

Paper Mario: Sticker Star isn't that bad of an RPG game. Not as good, but the overall story is really confusing everybody. I may not declare best RPG game for 2014, but I'm giving it a solid 9.0 for superb.
