Super Paper Mario's predecessor, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, was (and is) my all time favorite game, so naturally, I was expecting quite a bit from this game. The verdict, was that it was not as good as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but still a superb game, and a solid addition to anyone's gaming library.

Boooooring. This game is way too easy and way too straightforward. The play mechanic is interesting but the long-winded, uninteresting story sequences really cut into it.

A 7 feels generous but a 6 seems like too little.

I found Super Paper Mario an ok game the amount of text in the game becomes boring to read if there was voice's included in the game then it would become interesting. The game is fun once you do get into game play. But I prefer the classic Mario from the NES oh and Mario Galaxy

The player controls the characters by holding the Wii Remote sideways like an NES controller. With the Pixl Tippi or Tiptron, the player can also point to the screen with the remote to identify features on the screen as well as hidden objects.

Super Paper Mario, like other Paper Mario games, borrows both RPG and platforming elements in its gameplay. A main hub city called "Flipside" provides a location for Mario and his party to talk to residents, shop, and rest, as well as to open doorways to other worlds. There also exists a mirror version of Flipside called "Flopside" that becomes available in the last half of the game with improved items and shops. Unlike previous Paper Mario games, there is no turn-based fighting; instead the player faces foes directly on screen as in a usual Mario platforming game, and through experience gains and special items, the amount of damage dealt can be increased. The player also must watch the party's health taken as damage from foes, though this can be restored with special health items. The traditional scoring system used in most platforming games doubles as an experience point system. After jumping on an enemy, the player can shake the controller for extra points. The player can also collect Catch Cards for all the major characters and enemies; possessing an enemy card will double damage dealt for that enemy.
