A mystery is afoot on Prism Island - and only Paper Mario can solve it by restoring the island's vanishing colors with his new Paint Hammer and the powerful Battle Cards up his sleeve. These fresh layers of strategy, along with the hilarious action adventure gameplay the series is known for, make this one of the most colorful Paper Mario action-adventure games ever.

I dunno if I'll be able to handle this game. Where Sticker Star's battle system was underwhelming but unobtrusive, this one is in-your-face and time consuming. And Sticker Star at least started you off with the promise of good puzzles and creativity... this time, there are no redeeming qualities yet.

So far this has the usual cute, witty dialogue and fun storyline, but I just am not loving how different it looks from the other games. I wanted a Paper Mario game, not Little Big Planet. The battle system also sucks balls. Idk how long I'll keep playing this one.

I finished it! I actually really enjoyed this game in spite of it's battle mechanics. I'm thinking of doing a video feature on the system and why leaving behind a classic turn based RPG style isn't a bad thing, it just needs to be executed better.
