I mean that's not a problem at all, it just means they have less health than it would appear. The problem was that you needed the arbitrarily chosen Things for the fights before. That just made the whole thing feel somewhat meaningless even if there was a "real" fight before you got to use it.

Color splash fixes plenty of sticker star's flaws though. Like the reason i stopped playing ss was because of the complete lack of guidance on loving anything in the game, and the resulting infuriating puzzle experience. No action command tutorials, no hints for what things to use ever, no hints for where to find things, etc. You regularly run into situations where it's impossible to tell if you're missing the thing you need for a puzzle, or if it's one of the ones you've already found but don't happen to have on hand. Want to get them? Well loving backtrack through the level for the 20th time to pick it up again! Oh, that wasn't the correct one? To bad, you just wasted fifteen minutes of your time and now you'll waste ten more looking for another one. Rinse, repeat, etc. They fixed this entire mess in colour splash. You can just buy things you've already found, and the game actually properly hints at all its puzzles and makes pretty sure you won't be missing anything progress-necessary or backtracking incessantly.

Well that's just like your opinion man. I obviously can't change your mind on that but i did take objection the the "didn't fix anything fundamental" statement.

Yeah "the story follows a structure" is the weirdest criticism I've seen yet. No poo poo it does. The specifics are different every time so what's the problem?

Der Shovel posted:I’m slightly conflicted. I just cleared the blue streamer area, and the normal fights have become well, not exactly a chore but not very entertaining either. But the boss fights are a ton of fun and the writing is funny and weird in the best traditions of Paper Mario. I don't get the complaint though, the simple puzzle encounters are over in 30 seconds, and the complex ones are fun to solve for me.

by the way, i know people have praised the music a lot but how amazing is it that every single area by themselves actually have a soundtrack big enough to pretty much make its own game? the amount of single-scene tracks is absolutely ridiculous in this game

I don't remember where it was but somewhere an official nintendo source said that the (current) canon is that toads don't have gender and toadette just happens to the only one who presents in an obviously feminine way and uses the appropriate pronouns. so you're free to think of any of the toads not explicitly referred to by pronouns in this game as "female"

that's true, i was also missing some slightly more substantial npc characters. i'm pretty sure literally no one in toad town ever updates their dialogue, for example. makes its position as a hub town feel completely superficial. why would i come back and explore it again when there's never anything to discover besides, like, two more toads in their houses who have one line each. luckily this doesn't really take away from the game because there's always some new cool thing you're running into every five minutes anyway, but it does make all the effort put into toad town mostly wasted.

Yes, you just memorize the exact way the picture is scrambled and do it in reverse. Or, for example, record a clip of it and study at your leisure.

if it was that it would be awful lol the whole point is that you don't have to solve it to win, but if you do you can win right on the spot. E: also you don't need to have have permission to make unique characters to make a game that's better than TTYD, as this game proves because it's better than TTYD.

I think that's just because of whiplash from sticker star. SPM still had the completely off the walls story and weirdo not-really-mario characters so it gets counted in the "good ones" I do like spm even if i don't really enjoy actually playing it though.

SPM gets a lot of points from me for having playable peach, and tons of silly little peach lines if you go into cutscenes as her If only you didn't have to change to Mario every minute to flip. If someone made a hack of spm where every character can flip i would replay the game right now.

there's always an indicator of when you have to use the arms in a boss fight and it's asking olivia. she'll say incredibly obviously when it's time to do it.

100% complete! somewhat surprisingly, the worst trophy of the lot is the fishing one. those rare fish have a spawn rate that's so low, i got like 30 minutes into a youtube video i put on before i got both of them and the one treasure i was missing. so you basically have to pass the time some other way while waiting but simultaneously have to pay enough attention to, you know, actually catch the drat things when they show up. awful design. otherwise super enjoyable. even getting shy guys finish last perfect was kinda fun when i knew what i was doing. it is also infuriatingly long if you need to restart towards the end though.

man i just don't understand that opinion at all. like for starters if the combat was different the whole game would be designed very differently in the first place. you couldn't just rip out the combat system and replace it without consequence. and secondly it's good actually

i do agree, it's like literally twice as long as it needs to be but i did still enjoy it overall paper jam is *much* breezier both in battle and out and also introduces interesting twists on the series tried and true combat system with the third party member and the battle cards.

oh is this where i get to tell you that in the NA version of partners in time they increased the health of most bosses in the game by a factor of about 1.5x for no reason at all being from finland i always wondered why that was a common complaint about the game before i learned this.

this is also what the toads are for. when i encounter a puzzle that seems like a huge mess, i pay for one tier of cheering to get the first move. seeing what it is will both make the rest of the puzzle way simpler and also hint at what to do in furure situations like that. and also... you don't have to solve the puzzles. you can just do a good enough arrangement that you can take care of some of the enemies. taking a hit isn't the end of the world. i really do think the battle system is still very elegant and simple like what you liked about the originals, just in a very different way.
