Let's talk about Paper Mario /v/.
Color Splash was decent. I'd give it a 6/10. It brought back some of the charm and clever writing the older entries had, but still had the retarded ass combat mechanics. I enjoyed the paint mechanics, and some of the banter between the Toads. But that brings up my biggest problem about the game, the complete lack of diversity within the characters. The game is like 95% Toads, which sucks. The first 3 games came the closest to giving Mario any sort of "Lore," and had all kinds of neat characters and races. Just look at the companions for the first two games for proof of that. All in all, I don't really like where the Paper Mario series is going, and I really hope that it either turns around creatively or that Mario and Luigi can step up and become a more enjoyable series.
If you were to remake sticker star to be like the original games, but without changing the general areas, which partners would be in each world and what changes to the toads would you make?
