Super Paper Mario (Wii)

...I was first introduced to Super Paper Mario after watching a YouTube review of the game, which was arguably written and presented by a Mario fanboy. Even after playing just one level of the game, they saw fit to give it 10/10. Being skeptical about the review and the rating was probably the main reason I bought a Wii, and consequently the game. GAMEPLAY ---------------- Super Paper Mario is an RPG, which - even if you're not familiar with the ...
...dialogue. Synonymous with many RPGs, the gameplay is very slow compared to other Mario games. Most of the time you'll be moving around the levels at a painfully slow pace, trying to figure out what to do or where to go next. SPM brings innovation to the table; probably the most talked about feature is Mario's ability to flip from 2D to 3D. There is some skill involved with using this ability, as in 3D you have a limited amount of time to move around. ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

Super Paper Mario is a mixed bag; it contains some sparkling examples of excellent game play and wit, but for each jewel you will have to fight through lashings of dullness and repetition. I would heartily recommend a "director cut" version of Super Paper Mario (at half its length) but Super Paper Mario is too wordy and repetitive. Wii games will live or die by its control system, and luckily Super Paper Mario has not gone down the "forced waggling" ...
...the NES with the wiimote held sideways akin to the original NES controller. It does require the odd waggle for special features but they play well and feel natural. The plot is shown via cut scenes with a lot more dialog than is really necessary. Combined with the complete lack of voice acting and awful artistic choices such as Count Bleck obsession with saying "Bleck", Nastasia constant erring and O'Chunks spelling of “teh” leads to ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

...have delivered once again with Super Paper Mario. The game is the spiritual successor to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door on Gamecube, and before that, Paper Mario on the Nintendo64. This particular series of Mario titles are what people like to call Platform RPGs. At their heart, they're classic platformers, but you have the ability to 'level up' as it were, just like in an RPG. The titles in the series have always a particular style to them, ...
...All in all, Super Paper Mario is a treat to play, but sadly, there are a few issues with the game. Some of the dialogue goes on for what feels like hours, and sadly, it's unskippable, and for an RPG, it's relatively short. The game can be completed in about 30 hours max, but if you want to look for all the hidden extras, then obviously the game will last longer. The space chapter is arguably the dullest level design in Mario RPG history, as most ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

Something a little different from Mario this time on the Wii: a 2D platform, with a few extra dimensions to it. This game is the third game in the Paper Mario series but differs from the first two to focus on more of a traditional 2D platforming adventure. It was my first game for the Wii and I feel that it misses on some aspects but packs some great classic 2D action. The story focuses around Count Bleck, who for some reason decides to destroy ...
...him... as usual. So you set off into many different themed worlds, to find Pure Hearts, which are the only thing that can stop him, as a void in the universe expands in the sky. '''Gameplay''' Most of the game is focused on tradtional 2D platforming, jumping around avoiding the bad guys, the bottomless pits and the spiking objects, but the main draw is a couple of new introductions to this type of game. The first is Mario's flip ability. At various ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

To me, Mario is an actual hero. I grew up playing his games and, as an adult, I always keep an eye out for any new games that are released featuring the little italian plumber. We got this game bundled with the wii when we bought it in late 2007 and I was really excited to play it. I switched on the wii, put in the disc and loaded it up. There was never really any introductions on any of Mario's games in the past but this has one. A very very long ...
...to skip it but alas, I was destined to sit through alot of needless rubbish before the gameplay could begin. I like my games to have some sort of storyline but this was too much for me. Once I (finally) got started the game still runs like a tutorial. This might be helpful to kids who are new to gaming but I've been playing games for twenty years! I don't need this! There are some nice aspects to this game, the way you can switch between 2D and 3D ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

...the Wii because I love Super Mario games and basically grew up with them on the snes, Wii games are mostly all fun and I heard that this one was good as it was a game you play it switching between 2d and 3d which is pretty different for Nintendo to be able to switch in between the dimensions like that. The story in this game is great, it keeps developing as the game continues and also keeps you guessing until the end on what really is the story behind ...
...game. The basic story line behind this game is that you have to stop the evil Count Bleck from destroying the world. You can play with all the characters in the game, as you find them at different stages, and they all have different skills, also you get little pixies that can help you by giving your player different skills as well. This game is quite challenging, but I like a challenge, it gave me and my boyfriend hours of play until we completed ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

...If you liked the previous Super Paper Mario games you may want to consider renting this one before buying. The game does not take too long to beat. The main difference in this Paper Mario is the ability to flip between dimensions. This is definitely a game you should rent before you buy, because you may either hate it, or you may love it, and I repeat, it is NOTHING like the other two Paper Mario's. Overall this is a decent game, in my opinion, but ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

Great game, Mario is out to save the universe from Count Bleck. so with some help from his friends (bowser, luigi and peach,) and a various different pixels that are collected along the way which aid the gang in the quest. With the wii it adds a new dimension to the game from playing in 2D to 3D depending on what your next task is, this can make the game challenging. Mario is the only character able to switch between 2D and 3D to get to various ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

Nintendo rarely go wrong with Mario, what is there to go wrong? This is no exception. I found it extremely addictive and engaging. It does take a little while to get used to switching between 3D and 2D but once you have it down, then the fun begins. The form of this Mario game is pretty much the same as any other, Princess has been stolen (Count Bleck put a spell on her so she said 'I do' at the alter and ended up Mrs Bowser) and you have to run ...
...where she might be and where Bleck may be, saving all the worlds as you go. This time though you can use a 2D/3D switch to escape your enemies and find your way around obstacles. I normally get bored with a game within about a month but this one has lasted out. The different levels are so different that you dont feel like you're doing the same thing over and over and over. It's also challenging enough to keep you interested but not SO hard that ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

Wow. This game was fantastic! One of the most enjoyable Mario games out there. I have to say the graphics are such a pleasure to see on my t.v screen. As i played it, it was such a breath of fresh air. Mario stars in this game, going through vast lands exploring different techniques as he ventures on in a bid to save the world from being consumed by the void threatening their world. A game worth playing. If you have played this, and enjoyed it as ...
...Mario' aswell. I think the battle systems are much more imaginative and i generally preferred them than the wii version, but both are fantastic, well planned out and provides an excellent story to sit through. It's the best wii game yet, as others fail to excite me and engage me as much as this game does. I advise you to do one thing. Buy it! (Taken from my dooyoo acount, Saralovesyou) ...

Review of Super Paper Mario (Wii)

I have always loved the mario games, so when i got my nintendo wii i went and bought this game. To start with i didnt understand the whole flip into 2d and then into 3d stuff, but as the game went along i picked it up. I got totally addicted and found my self still playing in the early hours! Its a great game, a classic! Must admit i havent finished it yet, as iv been playing mario kart. But i got al the way to the count blecks castle at the end. ...
...Well worth buying and its got so many good things about it. You get to play as mario, luigi, bowser and peach. The flipping into 2d and then 3d is so wicked. The pixels are amazing (little fairy things that you take with you on your journey and collect them as you go) they give you great powers/skills.! Its a amazing game! Also there are bonus pixels and bonus items to be found in the game. ...
