I bought the 3DS because of the screenshots of Paper Mario from E3 2010. Then my dreams were shattered when I read the Iwata Asks for the game, when Nintendo literally had Paper Mario 3DS as a turn-based RPG like the first two, and Miyamoto made them change the game into stickers because it was "boring".

So, that aside, it's a very fun game, and it has a lot of the original charm of the Paper Mario series, but the battle system is... basically nonsense. It's a fun game to play for the levels and for the exploration, but the battles are meaningless unless you're farming for money.

It it better the second time you play it, though.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
