Description
Trying out a very basic version of the Color Splash art style with Mario and some of the concept art versions of characters (I haven't played the game yet so I don't know if the top two on the right look anything like what they do in-game).I'm weirdly excited to pick up the game today, despite what I've seen online. It seems a lot was fixed from the Sticker Star formula, but not everything.

So I wanna clear up something about this game.
People think itβs bad, even though it fixes a lot of issues Sticker Star had. I never played the game, but I think watching a whole playthrough of it does let you develop an opinion.
People say the game is bad, much like Sticker Star, because it looks like Sticker Star. Yeah, Sticker Star sucked, but this one didnβt. Sure, it had boring characters, the battle system from the last game is back, and overall, there isnβt much of a deep plot into it. But the battle system is not 100% bad, and they did bother with the NPC desgins more than thy did with Sticker Star. I mean, not all Toads are the same, this time, there are traits that let you distinguish them. Plus, each chapter has a story for itself. Not the best kind of story, but itβs there.
Doesn't mean if itβs different from TTYD or Paper Mario 64 that itβs necessarily bad. To be fair, even Sticker Star isnβt actually bad, if it wasnβt a Paper Mario game. Maybe thatβs their main problem. I mean think of it, if Sticker Star, or Color Splash for that matter, were not Paper Mario games, just their own games, would they still be considered trash?
Think about it.

Just because they aren't 100%, doesn't mean we should accept mediocrity as well.
People were (and are) mad that Paper Mario went down this route because the first 2 games were so in-depth and well crafted. (Super even stood up as it's own thing because the writing was so good, and the gameplay was passable).
SS and CS aren't garbage, but they are nowhere near what is expected of the series they came from. Don't accept mediocrity. Especially from a company like Nintendo.

It pisses me off so much to whoever said "No, all characters MUST be Toads" probably Miyamoto. It's so lame. These would have been so refreshing to see with all the damn Toads. Also, I hate how those bottom characters are soooo much better looking than Huey. Huey is such a fun, loveable character, and lord knows why his design is just a paint bucket. This game would have been so good if there were original characters, and leveling up was combined into one. There was so much potential to level up and choose if you wanted to increase your cards, health, or paint.

Actually, the person who requested for the only NPCs to be Toads wasn't Miyamoto. It was actually the producer, Kensuke Tanabe. Who you might know as he directed Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic. Miyamoto only said he wanted only existing characters in the Mario universe instead of new ones.
Also, the characters at the bottom are actually designs for Huey. So they weren't going to be the NPCs for the Toads.
Hope this cleared things up.

Here is what I think these are in order
1. Mario obviously
2. Shy Bandit (he is actually in the game as a boss enemy)
3. Beta Rock Paper Wizard. Β He was a Lantern Ghost in early development before being changed into a Toad that has a giant glove hat.
4. Unknown. Β It might supposedly have been the entity that was controlling Bowser as it is black and it appears to have paint dripping from it's wings. Β It may have also been a creation of said entity. Β Maybe the Black Paint was more alive in early development before simply being made into a corrupting force.
5 and 6: These appear to be early designs of the ever lovable Huey before they changed him into a bucket for the final release.

All 3 of of the bottom ones are beta versions of Huey.

I really liked some of the beta artworks of this game. Β The Lantern Ghost is actually a beta version of the Roshambo champion. Β But then they changed him into a goofy Toad with a giant glove for a hat. Β XD.

because Nintendo knows how much EVERYONE loved sticker star. -__-

It is, but I'm enjoying it 1000x more than I did Sticker Star. You can tell a lot more love went into this game.

To me, it feels like they really should've at least add back these 5 as partners for Color Splash, with the title like this, i feel like there are a lot of missed opportunities like adding new villain, bringing back the old Paper Mario RPG systems, plenty of npc with subspecies and whatever.

To be fair, the bottom 3 are the same character (just different concept designs). But yeah, I wish they had bright back the old formula.

Looks like the old PM formula of individual characters is never truly lost after all.

Love the concept of characters. I guess Nintendo should start bringing back the RPG elements because of this.
