I could go on and on listing every terrible thing implemented in this game from the biggest flaws i just listed down to the lazy 2 frame per second character animations. and if you thought the bosses were uninteresting in Sticker Star, this game up's the bland scale to a whole new level by reusing the god dang overused and uninteresting Koopaling's for the millionth time in a Mario game, Sticker Star's bosses may not have been anything to write home about but at least there was a small amount of variety with those bosses compared to the bosses in this game. I can not describe how disgusted I am with Nintendo for creating this good for nothing sorry excuse cringe inducing sludge fest for a Paper I can not describe how disgusted I am with Nintendo for creating this good for nothing sorry excuse cringe inducing sludge fest for a Paper Mario Game and for a video game in general, This is basically Sticker Star 2 but now with more cringey memetic joke's, annoying overused paper pun's, uninteresting character's consisting yet again of unlikable generic Toad's, a horrible and tedious gameplay mechanic that is even worse than the previous game and an artstyle that is so over emphasized on the paper aesthetic that it is to the point where it is visually unappealing to look at. I recommend it, but don't expect anything revolutionary this is Nintendo we are talking about, they haven't done something new with a GAME in decades, all their focus has been on hardware and it's starting to really show.

For completionist, this isn't all that hard, though the Roshambo temple's are just the worst (I hate you round three). If you suffer from OCD and don't want to have that irritated, don't play this game (you might want to steer clear of anything Nintendo in that case). As with every in-house property, Paper Mario is a rpg housing a Puzzle game that also is a collect-a-thon. For me, those exchanges were what kept me coming back. I found the dialogue between NPC's to be surprisingly topical and somewhat mature in some places (think pixar movies peppering in jokes only the parents will get). Even then you'll find yourself using the same 2-4 kinds of cards over and over because they get the job done. Combat serves nearly no purpose in this game, as well as collecting cards, not when you can buy whatever you need/want and coins are aplenty. This was my first foray into the series and I really found myself enjoying it, until the very light combat/card management process took hold. Vivid colors, Rich music, Surprisingly well written dialogue, with a poorly shallow (and boring) combat system and you have Paper Mario.
