At Least They Tried..? - Paper Mario: Color Splash

  • Just like the Wii U, it’s no secret that Paper Mario Color Splash was a massive disappointment. Its announcement during a 2016 Nintendo Direct was confirmation that the formula established with the N64 original and The Thousand Year Door was truly dead. Paper Mario Sticker Star wasn’t just some one-off experiment like we had hoped, it was the new direction for the series. But, is this truly just Sticker Star 2? Or is Color Splash a step in the right direction for this new style of Paper Mario?

    Intelligent systems: Miyamoto-san, can we at least make some of these toads with different caps?
    Miyamoto: no
    Intelligent systems: What about a good plotline?
    Miyamoto: Don't need one.
    Intelligent systems: Fine, I guess we'll just lump our rejected sketches as collectables, to show how much we wanted to care!
    Miyamoto: fine by me.

    Remove the turn based combat and actually keep the partner system who each have their own unique overworld abilities to solve puzzles and this genuinely could have been an AMAZING game. Yeah, not the RPG fans were hoping for, but if they wanted to make it a puzzle adventure game akin to an old LucasArts style game, they could have nailed it with a few tweaks.

      Its design was also bad and its lack of story
      Its not even Intelligence Systems fault but a certain individual didn't like what an old partner did with the Mario IP.

      Honestly still hate it though, and it sucks because I tried so damn hard to like it, but....the story alone,
      SPOILERS
      so many new characters and they kill them off almost IMMEDIATELY after, some in more bullshit ways than others, and not only straight up copies the damn super paper mario ending -- in the WORST WAY POSSIBLE, but also does the same "character sacrifice" cliche AGAIN. God, it's like the game hates me lmao.

    I honestly liked Color Splash now I’m not fond with many paper Mario games the only ones I’ve played were PM64,CS,and TOK and for all of those I’ve played I’ve enjoyed all three of them I never finished CS due to losing it but for as much Ives played I enjoyed it now of course there’s a lot I would like the game to nit have such as how you lose a card if you mess up using cut out and running away isn’t based on skill but I still liked the small charm of the game and it’s design over all plus the card battle system isn’t hard to me or difficult I was able to have the exact amount of cards I needed for a specific battle now will I say TOK is better? 100% I enjoyed way more but I still liked CS for what it was now no this isn’t me saying PM64 is worst than both of them or PM64 is better than them I just enjoyed the 3 neutrally

    The plot is bad because Miyamoto wanted Paper Mario to have NO STORY
    When Sticker Star released he said that Paper Mario doesn't need a story
    He pulled a bit back probably after its bad reception but still wanted a simple story

      I agree honestly. Color Splash focuses WAY too much on humor and cranks the obnoxious fourth wall breaking meta humor from TTYD and Super (yes I hate the fourth wall breaking meta humor from those two games sue me) to eleven and it’s so annoying to me.

    You make a great point. Color Splash has SOME good qualities. One of the all time great soundtracks, decent art style, some very fun puzzles throughout… so WHY is it turn based? Why have they insisted on that foundation for 3 games in a row? These games would ALL work much better (except mayyybe Origami King) if they were platformer-based like Super, rather than RPG-based (because they are, let’s be honest).

Peach is shown taking a shower in TTYD, Mario playing basketball with Rick Mahorn, Waluigi doing the Crotch Chop, Daisy in Mario Strikers Charged does the HOT STUFF pose and... xD Nintendo is like "NO. We are ending this nonsense NOW!!"
    And... there ya go. Outside parties aren't allowed to go as wild as things once were. But now the OPPOSITE problem is happening with _Paper_ Mario.

      I don’t think making Bowser is an ALLY instead of a villain is an automatic POSITIVE. I think what they should do is give us unique and original MAIN villains for later entries but keep Bowser in a villainous role but make him more of a minor secondary villain to the new main villain. I just prefer Bowser MUCH more when he’s a villain than when he’s an ally/anti-hero as I believe being a villain suits him better.

    Some of these issues resonate with my experience playing Origami King. As someone who skipped the last two, I still notice a lot of what’s missing.
    The pointlessness of battle still rings true, for me anyway. The puzzle circles are just s o _t e d i o u s_ . Regular fights merely serve to halt your progress. However, I will say that the system shines when it comes to bosses. Now, *those* were actually pretty fun.
    Other than that, witty writing and beautiful set pieces were certainly pluses.
    The generals, while literally designed as “moving office supplies” were surprisingly entertaining in the moment.
    The villain, while being original, is pretty shallow when you learn his motivation, though.
