Super Paper Mario Moose Style - 10/10

Hello, Moosechild here for the review on Super Paper Mario. Now I know many of and myself have been waiting for this game for a long time but, you're just gonna have to wait a little bit longer for Super Paper Mario to be released in Australia. I will divide this review into sections game play, story, graphics, and creativity.

First, lets start with game play. Now the gameplay as you may or may not have heard is a lot more like one of the classic Super Mario plat formers and by that I mean there is no turn-based fighting so the bosses are a lot easier than in the previous paper marios. in this game you can play as Mario, Peach, and Bowser. now each character has their own specialty Mario can switch between the 2nd and 3rd dimension, Peach can float across crevices with her umbrella and hide under when under attack, and Bowser can breathe fire you can also play as Luigi for a short period of time in this game but all he does is jump really high. There is also many little fairies that you collect in this game called pixls giving you powers such as ground pound, making you invisible, setting bombs, and allowing you to float across spikes and water. Super Paper Mario also has a lot more clever puzzles in this game then any other paper mario game or really any other mario game.

The story in Super Paper Mario is really quite complex. it starts out as a peaceful morning at the home of the Mario Bros. Mario & Luigi. Mario & Luigi decide to visit Princess Peach for they have not seen her for a while. As they walk Toad runs into them and tells them the "shocking" news........Princess Peach has been kidnapped but Toad does not mention who so Mario & Luigi assume this is the work of King Bowser. Once they arrive at Bowser's castle we here Bowser telling his minions how he planned to kidnap Princess Peach and marry her. as soon as they arrive Luigi asks Bowser where the princess was and what he did with her and Bowser explains that he was just about to go kidnap Peach. All of a sudden a freakish man named Count Bleck pops out of no where in Bowser's castle with Princess Peach and takes Bowser, his goonies, and Luigi. Now the reason this horrible man Count Bleck is doing this is book the Dark Prognosticus says that the marriage of Princess Peach and Bowser will cause a dimensional rift and will engulf the universe. Once everyone is taken away (except Mario) Mario meets a butterfly shaped pixl named Tippi (a lot like Goombella and Goombario in the previous games) who is here to help Mario on his quest to save the universe.

Now the graphics per sé aren't the greatest thing about this game. The graphics stay true to the paper mario series but really the only problem with it is it keeps older gamers from playing a great game just because of it's babyish graphics.When you go from 2D to 3D in this game maybe you were expecting everything to become 3D like the enemies except there would be a lot more open space and blocks would move around well only one thing wrong with that and that is (just about) every enemy stays in there 2nd dimension so you can walk past them easily and they are practically invisible. For example in one part of the game there is a huge line of Thwomps that come down in milliseconds
(exaggerated) all you have to do is press A and walk right pass them in 3D mode.

Some of the creativity in this game is pretty astonishing. for example the 3D mode I'm sure no one had even imagined that before and it is a very unique part of the game. Also some of the puzzles in this game are pretty creative they leave you very confused for hours and hours. The levels are also very well constructed around the 2D to 3D perspectives.
