    It’s been since the SNES days that I’ve played paper Mario. And this is a great take on a modern classic. The quirky and charming world that Nintendo brought to life has its light hearted humor and great design to thank for carrying its adventure with an interesting and unique combat system. Music is great too. As a top Mario title, what do you have to lose? You know it’ll be worth it.

    Love this addition to the Paper Mario series. Nothing beats the first two games, but this is pretty good.

    Fun game overall. Story is good but I don't care for the new Battle System. Also miss the diversity in characters; need to add new ones.

    If you are looking for a rendition of previous titles in the franchise this game is not for you. The puzzle system for battling has some elements of past mechanics, but is mostly reinvented. There will be some instances of Mario having to use his classic jumping skills in real time to defeat an enemy. If you are looking for a brave bold new adventure to embark on with an old friend, I highly recommend.

    I Personally have played Paper Mario since "Gamecube " and "Wii"..This version is Beautiful in color and Storyline. The only bad thing I can say about this game is that you cannot transform into the walls!!..This was Paper Mario to me but maybe I'm wrong and you can, I'm only 3 hours into the game but man is it fun!!!

    This game is colorful, bright and cheery. It has a good story for kids, but if they are too young to read then they won't get a lot of out of it unless you read it to them. For older players who remember the older Paper Mario games, it isn't like those, especially regards to the dropping of RPG elements such as leveling up and replacing it with a new battle mechanic. Overall it is still good, but if buying for younger kids just know their is a lot of text to read through in order to get the most out of the game.

    Really fun (and cute!) mario game for the Nintendo Switch. It's not crazily in depth but there are some decent puzzles in this game and you will need to switch it up to defeat different enemies. I could recommend this for pretty much anyone. Nintendo (and even more specifically, MARIO games) are always a safe bet to be good solid games.

    The first couple of minutes you start the game feel too easy I understand games like this are meant for children but they should put a hard mode to make it less annoying other than that if you like RPG games you'll enjoy it.

    Everything about this game was well done except the combat loop. The puzzle element was interesting, but removed any other variety that could have been possible from game. I still found it worth it to complete despite the weaker combat than other games in the franchise, but found combat to be very repetitive after a few battles.
