On the day of the annual Sticker Fest, Bowser decides to pull a prank and scatters six Royal Stickers across the land. To retrieve these mysterious, magical stickers, which are now stuck onto Bowser and his underlings, Mario sets off on an adventure with Kersti, a sticker fairy, visiting prairies, deserts, forests, snowy mountains and volcanoes around the world.
Announced during the recent Nintendo Press Conference at this years E3 was a brand new Paper Mario game entitled “Paper Mario: Sticker Star”. Despite its RPG-esque style of gameplay, it is a subset of the Super Mario series I have never really had the chance to check out or enjoy. However… for those of you who are excited you will be happy to know it is due for release during the holiday gaming season of 2012 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. It is currently in development by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems.
Some features of the game includes:
- Stickers are blended into every aspect of game play. They become your arsenal of items and attacks in traditional Paper Mario action-battles and can even unfold the environment to reveal new areas and ways to progress through the game.
- Collect stickers by peeling them off their environment, buying them in shops, or even making your own, and store them in your notebook for later use.
- “Paper”-ize the world by flattening it out and then use your stickers to find secret areas and hidden items just about anywhere in the game.
- The papercraft setting of the game is really emphasized in 3D, giving you the feeling of peering into and exploring a world comprised of shoebox dioramas.
- A cast of colorful characters will keep players laughing at every turn.
