A disappointing sequel. Buy the original and save $30.
by bengance on May 5, 2007
Pros: Easy learning curve, good use of humor. Good for younger crowds.
Cons: Repetitive. Gadgets get old after a while. Feels like GameCube Paper Mario on rails.

Summary: For those unfamiliar with previous Paper Mario games, you may enjoy the humor and perspective changes from previous Mario installments. But honestly, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is flat out better. Those that have played the GameCube Paper Mario will feel let down as the Paper Mario franchise moves from an RPG/Adventure game to a Adventure/Platformer. This Wii title was originally slated for GameCube release. Indeed, the graphics, UI, fonts, etc look identical. The game feels like the B-side of an underrated hit single. Here's why:
Super Paper Mario returns to the more traditional role: jump on bad guys and over pits, collect the star/heart/person to move to the next stage and repeat. The dialogue has a decent dose of humor, but the script drags a little and you'll find yourself button mashing to skip the 10 paragraphs of text. Instead of 7 playable characters with 5 or 6 skills you get 4 characters with 1 distinguishing skill. Instead of exploring 3-D worlds, you run just forward or often back track after getting the key/item/clue. You can change perspective to a 3-D view temporarily, but this just adds to the repetitiveness -- now there is 4 or 5 ways to hide an object and you can spend 10 minutes going through each method to check an area. The game is getting good reviews because many people don't realize that a better version had already been released on the GameCube. If you have kids who like the traditional jump up here and there, rent this for them and see if they manage through all the dialogue first. Honestly, this is one of the only games I ever fell asleep playing. What a letdown. The GameCube Paper Mario is arguably the second best title for the system behind Resident Evil 4, which puts its right around Twilight Princess territory for best games playable on the Wii.2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

A really good game! Much dialog but one of my favs!
by grantburry on June 7, 2007
Pros: Great soundtrack, story, fun, and addictability! A really great game and on my top game list!
Cons: Alot of talking before you actually play, and does no take much use of the Wiimote waving. But overall a great game.
Summary: Although this game has alot of dialog and chit-chat before you actually play the game and does no take much use of waving the Wiimote around like a syco-nut, this ...
Summary: Although this game has alot of dialog and chit-chat before you actually play the game and does no take much use of waving the Wiimote around like a syco-nut, this game is great! It is very fun to play and has great music. The story is really good, and this game will have you playin' it for a long time. Switching from 2-D to 3-D is a very impressive feature. It is vey new with the story (Bowser is actually not the real baddie, he's good when it comes to defeating Count Blech). Overall, even though there are a couple small little faults, overall this is a great, great game. I feel cruel rating it a 9 (the two faults sadly drop it a bit). I highly recommend this masterpeice!

30 minutes gameplay! 17 hours reading and pressing (2)!
by BrBill on January 9, 2012
Pros: Unique 2D/3D perspective swapping, fun use of puzzles. The relatively small amount of arcade action that is provided is well done.
Cons: Seemingly neverending and extremely boring dialogue and exposition in place of gameplay. Forced to slog endlessly around the known world over and over, ad nauseam, to find "heart columns" following each "world". "Cute and funny" dialogue is pale.
Summary: This game is much like a lot of Mario games in its look, play and approach to the game. And the puzzles are way more interesting than most Mario Brothers ...
Summary: This game is much like a lot of Mario games in its look, play and approach to the game. And the puzzles are way more interesting than most Mario Brothers games.
Now I really enjoy reading, but a video game should be more action than words. The tedious, voluminous and mind-numbingly verbose dialogue describing background history of dozens of "cutesy" but ultimately meaningless characters makes the last 2/3 of this game a real slog in comparison to other Mario games, in which gameplay trumps all. I seriously can't wait to be finished. Having hit world 6, I'm definitely at the point of diminishing returns.
The puzzles are either really fun OR they are nothing but blunt instructions to go do a thing, then you do the thing and are sent to another thing, etc. There's not much fun in visiting character after character to complete a side mission without any sort of feat of wit or skill. This is the kind of thing a small child learns from, but with the amount of reading (and the reading level required), no small child is going to be able to complete these side missions, so who are they for?
I got both this game and the newest Zelda for Christmas, and I have to say, I should have played Zelda first. This one's mediocre despite its puzzles and 2D/3D charm. I will say, like almost all the Mario franchise, it's well-programmed and bugs and problems are few in number. -

One of the best Mario Games by far

Summary: I have played a lot of Mario titles. This is one of the best ones I have played so far. For me, I just love going back and forth between 2d and 3d. It is very fun. I cant get my nephew off this game long enough for me to play it. The one con is that it doesn't make use of the Wii remote. You just flip it horizontally and use it like a regular gamepad. Other than that, it is one great game.

GREAT Game, but little Wii remote interactivity
by cjowens on April 15, 2007
Pros: Similar to legacy Marios of ole but adds wonderful 3D functionality which allows the game to stand alone
Cons: Minimal Wii-mote and nunchuk interaction
Summary: I purchased this game for my childern but little did I know that you would have to have a proficient reading level beyond my kindergardeners seasoning. Within the first 5 ...
Summary: I purchased this game for my childern but little did I know that you would have to have a proficient reading level beyond my kindergardeners seasoning. Within the first 5 minutes or so you will have to read a considerable amount of 'messaging bubbles' above the heads of characters. This initial dialog holds te purpose of enlightening you on Marios fundamental capabilities which are new to all Mario-goers. Once you get into the game the learning curve is minimal considering you have played Super Mario on the NES. Once my wife and I began to play the game we found it to be a WONDERFUL collection to the Wii library. Though She and I rarely get to play the games our selves we began to have shades of yester-year. For the short time, 30 minutes, my wife and I played the game we found that the Wii remote interaction was not utilized as well as in other games which we purchased. Case and point would be the ability to make Mario jump. Instead of intuitively implementing the Wii-mote 'yank' up, you use the "A" button as you would if you were playing yester-years Super Mario. This is as ggreat as the "Cons" get for this game because it is a lot of fun and I really recommend this game over other Mario renditions like Wario Warez: Smooth Moves which does nothing for the pleasure principle.

- Description: Mario and Luigi are enjoying a lazy afternoon at their house when they hear the terrible news: Princess Peach has been kidnapped! The two brothers head straight for Bowser's castle to get her back, but Bowser is just as surprised about Peach's kidnapping as they are. At that moment, a strange top-hatted villain warps in and abducts everyone but Mario. The mysterious villain then forces Peach and Bowser to get married, creating a rift of dark energy that threatens to tear the universe apart! Only Mario can save the day...but he can't do it alone. What at first glance appears to be your classic 2-D adventure ripped straight from the stylized pages of the Paper Mario universe soon turns into a hysterical 3-D action game possible only on Wii!
