FUN: This game was so entertaining, most people had a hard time putting it down. The dialoge, gameplay, and whole humor thoughout it was so fantastic that it was never boring. However, it ended too quickly. FUN - 1.5.
REPLAY: This game has no replay value, unless you count getting 100% Completion (Which I'm trying. Almost done, too). REPLAY - 0.5.
STORY: The game begins with everyone having a great time at the annual Sticker Fest. However, it didn't last long when Bowser went and touched the Sticker Comet, a comet that comes once each year to grant wishes (Seriously... why on earth does the Mushroom Kingdom have so many wish granting items!?!). Touching the Comet causes it to explode, spreading stickers everywhere and planting a special powerful sticker on Bowser's head. The sticker on Bowser's head causes Bowser to go crazy! After Bowser destroys the Sticker Fest, Kidnaps the Princess... again, and disappears, Mario wakes up to find the whole town a huge mess. After Mario gets up, he hears a voice calling him. Following the voice, he finds Kersti, a Royal Sticker in charge of protecting the Sticker Comet and the Six other Royal Stickers. She orders Mario to go and gets the missing Royal Stickers. It's up to Mario to Find the Royal Stickers and save Princess Peach Yet Again! STORY - 2.
DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: Even though this game is like it's first two games of the series (Turn-Based), it has a unigue twist to it battles. You attack using stickers in your Sticker Album. That's right... No Badges, No Parners, No Magic, Just Stickers. On top of that, with the help of Kersti, you can Papertise (Outside of Battle ONLY) and use a Slot-Machine-Like Battle Spin for more power. To get more powerful Stickers that aren't like your normal items (Boot, Hammer, Flowers, Etc.), all over the worlds are items called Things. If you go to certain places, you can fling these Things against a wall and turn them into Stickers. Also... unlike the past three Paper Mario games (Only half of Super Paper Mario), each world is like New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Each world has a set number of stages that you can re-enter and re-collect the Stickers in that stage (Think W1-1, W1-2, and so forth). DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL - 1.5.
DIFFICULTY: If you don't have a battle plan for each battle and stage, then the game can be a little difficult. However, if you plan it out (And stock pile the Thing Stickers), it very easy and simple game. DIFFICULTY - 2.
TOTAL - 7.5.
There you have it! Paper Mario: Sticker Star in a nutshell! I got this game on Nov. 13 and just finished it today (Nov. 18). However, I did not get 100%. Since it saves the game after you beat it and brings you back to the last stage you played on the world map, I going back to finish getting 100% complete. I'm also working on a Sticker Museum Guide for Gamefaqs.com, so look for that within a week. Thanks for reading my post! Until next time... See Ya!
