Super Paper Mario

"Brimming with verbal wit, self-parody, and visual paradoxes, Super Paper Mario is the best example yet of what may justifiably be dubbed a postmodern videogame."

"Super Paper Mario is another good Nintendo Wii title that will make bored Wii owners excited to play their console again. It won’t, however, sell consoles. It isn’t, after all, a traditional Mario game in any sense. It is very different and requires a lot more patience and a different kind of skill than the other Super Marios of the gaming world."

"Super Paper Mario brings Nintendo's quirky role-playing series to the Wii with great results."

"As a quasi return to Mario's roots, much of it is more platformer than role-playing game. And while this latest Mario outing may not be a flawless experience, it's crystal clear that Nintendo still knows just how to make their mustached plumber come out smelling like a rose."

"Overall, this is a very solid game. Colorful graphics, interesting characters, and occasionally catchy music add a certain charm that makes the game fun to play. I found myself laughing hysterically during quite a few scenes, and obsessively trying to collect just one more character card or treasure map before shelving it and moving on. The lack of challenge is the game’s biggest issue, but it opens the playing field to people looking for a more casual experience. "
