My favourite Paper Mario yet.

User Rating: 8 | Super Paper Mario WII
By Jimmi323 | Review Date:
While most might agree that Super Paper Mario doesn't quite live up to the standard set by The Thousand-Year Door for the Gamecube, I actually enjoyed this iteration more. The shift towards more of a platforming style of gameplay suits the game very well; it's the genre that Mario does the best. The game's quirky sense of humour and interesting 2D-3D switches make this my favourite Paper Mario yet. The light RPG elements are just enough to keep the game fresh, and the four playable characters along with the different 'Pixls' give the game quite a bit of variety.

However, there are a few problems. While in 2D, the game looks great, with a fantastic artstyle. However, as you switch into 3D, the game gets downright ugly. The environments are bare at best, and don't even compare to the 2D environments. Also, the game is definitely too easy. Some of the pixls make the game very easy in combat (although you can always opt not to use them) and most of the platforming elements are far too easy. However, if you are really looking for a challenge, the optional Pit of 100 Trails will really offer some difficulty.

In conclusion, Super Paper Mario is a great game that will keep you busy for a while.
