Super Paper Mario (US)

[Synthesthesia]

Can't believe there isn't a thread for this already?

Anyway....This game is great! The graphics are bright, i love the paper mechanics that're applied to the design and make it stick out more than ever IMO.

I've not played it that much, about 2 hours. I've had a mini boss and a boss, The mini boss didn't require much thinking and was just a *JUMP!* affair, but the boss had a pretty unique twist.

->Open Spoiler<-

Wait for him to come in from the side, then flip to 3d and jump on his back, run along to his head and hit his weak point for massive damage

The Pixls seem like a pretty cool addition too, adding skills to mario. I've read that the wii controller usage feels like it's been bolted on...i really don't feel like that from my experience with the game so far, i don't see how using the butterfly pixl would have worked anywhere near as good with an analog stick.

BUY BUY BUY!

I have Paper Mario for the Wii. Any big differences? I never completed that one as I lost interest. So is it a must-buy for me?

You mean for gamecube? Yeah quite a big difference imo, all the battles take place out of the battle field, it's like a platformer with RPG elements. You jump on a koopa's head, and it takes off 1 damage. BUT

If you have a koopa card, it'll take off more damage like 2 or 3 points, making him easier to kill.

The platforming is no where near as deep as normal mario games mind, the agenda here is more focused on solving puzzles using the powers you've acquired. It's 2d aswell compared to PM2's weird 3d with 2d thing.

->Open Spoiler<-

well, until you get the dimensional flip power, then you can turn it 3d to view things from another perspective and solve puzzles.

Seems alot more suited to short attention spans and feels linear compared to PM2 so far.

Can't believe there aren't more people voicing their opinions on this game. It arrived yesterday, and I spent a good few hours on it. I love the dialogue, especially

->Open Spoiler<-

Bowser, Count Bleck and the other bad guys

.

Haven't played paper mario before, but just love the style.

The dimesnsion flipping ain't too shabby either. Also just had my first (mini?) boss battle. Pretty standard affair, jump on him to knock health off.

Overall, good so far. Let's see how much better it gets

Now does this control? Have they ruined it with Wii controls?

[Juha]

Soooo


Any news on any non-kiddie-cartoon-like title not aimed at younglins (that won't suck) anytime soon for the Wii?


No?

I doubt this game is aimed at the younglins.

This seems as apt a place as any to post this...

If that's really in the game, that's bloody brilliant

sounds like you got the wrong console.
Wii offers fun, by the looks of it your not after that.

Yeah, I think its genuine

Like Synthesthesia says, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the controls. After completing the 1st chapter I've encountered no motion sensing parts. You do use the wiimote sporadically

->Open Spoiler<-

as a pointerfor finding hidden doors, and whilst it doesn't seem necessary to have in the game, it isn't really annoying.

Other than that, really digging the humour. Maybe it's because it's my first Paper Mario.....

Sorry mate I wasn't clear enough, what I meant is what's the control configuration?

[importaku]

You hold the controller on its side like a nes pad.

Dpad for movement & the 1 & 2 buttons to run & jump ect....

Also if you point it at the screen it goes into search mode where a beam appears like a torch so you can get more info on enemies & find hidden secrets.

Anyone found that

->Open Spoiler<-

replica of Super Mario Bros level 1-2

yet? The one shown in a few trailers. I'm on the 2nd chapter and I haven't
