Item Description

Paper Mario has always treated the Mushroom Kingdom like a craft project, and Sticker Star is the entry that hands Mario the glue. During Decalburg's Sticker Fest, Bowser crashes the celebration, the Sticker Comet shatters and six Royal Stickers scatter across the land. Mario sets out to recover them alongside Kersti, a sharp-tongued sticker sprite who is never shy about telling him exactly what she thinks.

Everything runs on stickers. Jumps, hammer swings, Fire Flowers and shells are all single-use stickers that you peel off walls, find tucked in hidden corners or buy in town, so your album is both your moveset and your inventory. The Battle Spinner lets you spend coins for a shot at using several stickers in one turn, and the most memorable attacks come from Things, real-world objects like a giant pair of scissors or an electric fan that become outrageous, screen-filling stickers. Press a button to Paperize the scene and the world flattens into a page, letting you slot stickers right into the scenery to patch gaps and solve puzzles.

Structurally it plays closer to a classic Mario game than its predecessors, with a world map of bite-size levels stretching from desert ruins to snowy peaks and, finally, a fortress in the sky. It also made bold cuts: there is no experience system and no team of partners, which made it divisive among fans of the earlier, RPG-heavy entries. Come to it on its own terms, though, and you find a clever puzzle adventure with funny, self-aware writing and some of the most charming papercraft scenery the series had produced up to that point.

Sticker Star was the first Paper Mario built for a handheld, and the 3DS's stereoscopic screen gives its layered paper world the depth of a pop-up book. Its sticker-and-Things design set the direction for Color Splash and The Origami King that followed, which makes it the turning point where Paper Mario became a puzzle adventure first and an RPG second, and the place to see that experiment at its boldest.
