Story
Once upon a time, the Mushroom Kingdom was celebrating the annual holiday the Sticker Fest, where the citizens come to witness the Sticker Comet fly by in the sky. It is said that the Sticker Comet will actually make wishes come true. But the evil king Bowser smashes the comet and shattering it into 6 pieces, while granting Bowser ultimate power. It is up to Mario and his new pal Kersti to gather the 6 Royal Stickers that have spread across the land and rescue Princess Peach and the Toads from Bowser.

Characters
Mario - everyone's favorite plumber/doctor/kart racer/turtle exterminator is back in an all new paper adventure. Well, I really probably don't need to say much more beyond that, we all know who Mario is already.
Kersti - A sticker fairy that happens to be Mario's new partner in this game. Fairy huh? Hey! Listen!
Princess Peach - The ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom is back smaller and flatter than ever. She got kidnapped, again.
Bowser - The ruthless yet bumbling leader of the Koopa Troop, he's what causes this mess in the first place. He usually gets beat by Mario, but this time he's got a new item that makes him all powerful. I wonder where I heard that before?
Bowser jr. - Bowser's illegitimate son. He causes Mario some grief on his father's behalf.

How to Play
Unlike Super Paper Mario, PM:SS returns to the turn based combat, but with a twist. Attacks are performed by stickers you find on your travels. Stickers are also used outside of battle to perform tasks to get further in the levels. Some stickers are your basic jump and hammer commands, but also include stranger ones like an industrial fan, scissors, and a goat.

Wow, I thought this was coming out in December for the US.

Snuck up on me, so will this be a Day 1 eShop digital download?

I'm still a bit wary of the gameplay changes, and I'm disappointed that there are no partners again, but I'm always up for more Paper Mario.

Not going to get it at launch. Going to get it for Christmas though. Will be enough time for reviews and stuff if it ends up sucking and I go for something else.

I'm actually glad I have to wait an extra month before I get my hands on this. I'll love playing this on the sofa, in front of the fire over Christmas.

I have no interest in this game as I don't own a 3DS right now (might splurge on a XL if theres some good BF deals), just wanted to say that this OT is fantastic and the title is even better. Good job Chet.

I am so hyped. Gamexplain posted a new gameplay video this morning showing the Yoshi Sphinx. Btw why is it that desert is always level 2 btw?!

And amazing artwork! I thought that was official at first-glance!

I'm not sure what the Good side is, but thanks! I've drawn every |OT| I've done so far, and I plan to keep it that way.

It's kinda odd how everyone else is getting it in December.

Drawn? I thought you got those pictures from various sites. Looks like it came from Nintendo. Could've fooled me. Very nice.

Well, Japan is getting Animal Crossing this Thursday instead, so that might explain it. Not sure about Europe though. I would say I'm jealous, and I kinda am, but I love Animal Crossing that little bit more. Still, jealous.

I don't think I'll get in trouble if I say:

Sombrero Guy is my favorite! Also, that goat is hilarious and how you get the goat is even crazier.

Edit: Reviews will be up tomorrow at Noon EST/9 A.M. PST

Looking forward to it, very much doubt i will get it on day one since it comes out only a week after the Wii U. Might hold back and see if anywhere puts it on offer during the Jan sales.

Shyguy drawn in the OP? you did good Chet, I had no idea the gap between the US release and the PAL release was this wide.
I just noticed the GAF logo is all sticker like, oho!

Looking forward to buying this. Enjoyed Paper Mario and Paper Mario Thousand Year Door. So I expect I would enjoy this as well.

For whatever reason this wasn't on my radar until the last trailer and now I'm super excited for it! The only question remains: retail or digital?
