Item Description

Somewhere on Prism Island, Shy Guys are drinking the color out of the world through straws, and it is up to Mario to put it back. Paper Mario: Color Splash, developed by Intelligent Systems and released late in the Wii U's life in 2016, opens with a drained, colorless Toad arriving at Peach's door folded inside a letter, and it sends Mario to the island with Huey, a chatty, living paint can. Their goal is to recover the six Big Paint Stars and find out who is behind the fading colors, though the shadow of a very inky Bowser hangs over the whole trip.

The Paint Hammer is the heart of the adventure. Whack a blank white patch of scenery and it floods back to life with a satisfying splash, and filling every gap in an area becomes a quietly addictive completionist's hobby. Hammer scraps found along the way expand how much paint Mario can carry, and paint fuels the battles too: attacks come from cards that you choose and color in on the GamePad's touch screen before flicking them up to the TV, a use of the Wii U controller that only makes sense on this hardware.

The strangest and best cards are Things, real-world objects such as a fire extinguisher or a giant electric fan that Mario finds, converts into cards and unleashes in spectacular, often hilarious attacks. Huey's Cutout ability lets Mario peel away parts of the paper world to reach hidden paths, and the Koopalings return as bosses, each with its own stage-show of a showdown. Reviewers were split on the card battles, but the writing and visuals won wide praise: Prism Island is built from corrugated cardboard, crinkled paper and paint textures that look handmade, and the script is cheerfully, consistently funny.

For Paper Mario followers, Color Splash is the bridge between Sticker Star on 3DS and The Origami King on Switch, and the entry where the series' modern comedy writing hit its stride. On the Wii U, the GamePad card painting is part of how it was meant to be played, which gives this original release a character all its own.
