Paper Mario is back
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007
Just started playing this weird, but enjoying game called Super Paper Mario. As we all can see, it’s starring our favourite italian “stud” Mario! The game play has really changed from the earlier Paper Mario games, since now it’s more like an plattform game than a classic RPG game. Some elements remain from the RPG genre like leveling up and using items, so it hasn’t totally lost its roots.
The game itself is very unique in it’s gameplay. It supports flipping the world from the normal 2D scroller (seen in earlier Mario games) to a 3D view (seen in the later Mario games) with a push of a button. This is needed to solve certain puzzles in the game, since some things only show up in one of the dimensions.
To mention some bad things, it seems the puzzles can be solved pretty similiar over and over again. Hopefully this is just because I started playing, since this might get the player familiar with the controls. For now I’ll let Zelda: The Twilight Princess rest a bit and keep playing this game.
