Key Game Features

Stickers are the key to this imaginative adventure. Battles are turn-based like in the original Paper Mario game but instead of an attack menu Mario whomps on his enemies using a sticker to attack. Stickers not only serve as Mario's attacks but also help solve puzzles throughout the Paper Mario universe when placed in the correct spots. Stickers can be found and collected from all corners of the world?? and the flashier the sticker?? the more powerful it is.
Mario can also spend coins to use the Battle Spinner?? which lets him use up to 3 stickers in one turn if the icons are lined up just right. The Battle Spinner can turn the tide in a difficult battle?? so collecting coins through the game to use it is crucial.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star players get stronger by beat"osses?? finding items and completing side missions for other characters in the game instead of accumulating experience points.
As players progress through the game?? they'll find and use more powerful stickers to boost Mario's attack power. Players can also find HP-Up hearts to further boost Mario's maximum health.
The environments in Paper Mario: Sticker Star come to life in this visually-stunning papercraft world on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. They also contain a wide range of objects such as electric fans?? scissors and radiators that can be converted into more stickers?? which can then be used to solve puzzles or win battles as Mario maneuvers through each level.
