The Paper Mario series got started fifteen years ago on the N64. In light of the fact that Super Mario RPG never received a proper sequel, it was welcome compromise. Even if the series seemed to have lost its way during the Wii era and more recently with Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the 3DS, I’ve always appreciated how the games let Nintendo’s darker quirkier side come out.
Even if Paper Mario Color Splash is the first to take place inside a whirlwind of bright colors and toxic fumes, it certainly feels like the rest of the series has all been huffing paint this entire time on my behalf. What more could I ask of the little red plumber?
