How do you even *get* to World 1-5?

Spoiler

Jump down the waterfall in 1-3.

 

[iammeiam]

Spoiler

Go to the shop in your favorite level

Spoiler

I think you can buy them at the shop on the mountain maybe?

Thank you! That is what I get for believing description text.

 

[Fewr]

Probably answered before, but I haven't found it.

Is there any streetpass in this?

There we go. Thanks.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Luckily the aliasing isn't nearly as bad as in the trailers. Also, when in 2D mode, some AA beyond the built-in Supersampling is clearly being applied. Thank goodness.

So basically I'll never be playing this game in 3D.

 

[UberTag]

For those of you in rampant sticker collecting mode, if you paperize around certain objects in World 1 (i.e. circles of flowers, tree stumps, dead end passages, etc.), you'll essentially find what I would call "shiny upgrade spots".

Find the dotted outline squares, affix the sticker you wish to upgrade to shiny status and more often than not you'll get a question mark box with your newly shiny sticker inside.

I did this for about a half-dozen stickers just so I could make museum runs with them.

Same, unfortunately. The aliasing gives me a headache, and the game just looks too good with the AA applied.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

That doesn't sound like much of a tradeoff.

*toss*

I just recalled, you need a poison shroom to access 2-1. You get get one from 1-6 or buy it in 1-5.

 

[eternalb]

Hmm? Jump on it then drop into the exposed hole

 

[Velcro Fly]

Ugh Newegg why are you shipping from NJ. When you ship to me from Tennessee I get the game within a day or two.

 

[zroid]

So far at least, the lack of experience gained has not been enough of a deterrent to stop me from engaging every enemy I see. This might change over time, of course.

 

[GhostTrick]

Is there still a way to get XP outside combats ?

 

[enzo_gt]

Hows the battle system? That looked like the most worrying part to me.

 

[eternalb]

No. There's no XP at all

 

[NEO0MJ]

I actually like it, at least for now (at 1-4). Not having to grind and only fighting when you want/have to is rather nice.

Combat is solid, sticker the system seems to have potential and I have no problems playing only as Mario right now but 'm afraid it will get boring without party members.

 

[GhostTrick]

No. There's no XP at all

But how do you up levels or stats ?

 

[eternalb]

There are no stats, besides HP which you find throughout the game. Attack power is based entirely on the type of sticker

 

[zroid]

hahaha two-fold goomba. That is awesome.

If they keep throwing these cool variations of existing enemies at us throughout the game, I don't think a decrease in different types of enemies will be a problem at all.

 

[GhostTrick]

Oh ! Well, if the system is well balanced, no big deal for me.

 

[Mory Dunz]

But how do you up levels or stats ?

Have you ever played KH: Chain of Memories or a inventory-type game similar to that? It's sort of like that.

 

[Roto13]

Hehehehe, "Sticky Wiki"

 

[SpaceBridge]

How's the story? Is it interesting and drives you forward to play more?

 

[Roto13]

The museum seems like a lot of work for not much reward.

Question about getting to World 1-4:

Spoiler

I jumped into the waterfall and managed to get to World 1-5, but it basically skipped 1-4. So how do I get to 1-4? Is it something to do with the water pipe? I tried paperizing there, but nothing happened.

Really liking this game so far. I'm hoping there is a purpose to collecting stickers (

Spoiler

I've even been putting my special stickers like the fan and scissors in the museum

), we'll see if that pays off. The 3D is awesome with this game, the music is great, and it's just been fun so far. Only played two and a half hours so far, so we'll see if this keeps up.

 

[kairiceres]

Got the game today and I'm loving it. I haven't experienced the lack of direction yet, maybe I just like exploring a lot. The game does give little hints.

By Bowser's head, pull off the sticker and go inside. Turn the fauctet by jumping then drop into the hole where the water spout used to be.

Thanks! Tried hitting it with a hammer and everything, but guess I didn't try that.

 

[EvilMario]

Just cleared 1-1 and went back to town. All the stickers in town have regenerated. So I guess this means I'll be able to ignore the shop early on since I have an endless supply of basic stickers. Makes sense though, since they can't have the player running out of stickers.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

The only thing I don't like about the game so far is how it expects you to use a thing sticker on the major bosses, but you can't possibly know which one you need until you actually fight the boss. I actually beat the first boss without the thing sticker you need, which is a fairly stiff challenge, and the game proceeded to admonish me for not fighting efficiently. I should be rewarded for not giving up! Fuck you, Kersti!

 

[Kifimbo]

Basically non-existent so far.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

From what I read, the story is practically nonexistent other than the beginning and ending, and lacks the mini-stories the other paper marios had

 

[DarkWish]

So I put the

Spoiler

fan sticker

in the museum, but now I'm stuck in World 1-4. Don't I need that sticker in 1-4? Am I just out of luck now?

 

[CornBurrito]

Spoiler videos ahoy for those who are impatient (like me)

So lemme get this straight. He fights Kamek, and uses only a single sticker the entire fight. Which is smacking with a Sandal. And this is one of the final mini-bosses?

You can reclaim "thing stickers" in one of two ways:
- 1)

Spoiler

You can return back to where you retrieved the thing in the first place. The fan regenerates in Level 1-2 after you complete it the first time.

- 2)

Spoiler

There's a Monty Mole who will SELL you Things you've found already to the left of where you Stickerize them by flinging them against that giant screen.

Awesome, thanks! Don't think I've unlocked the second thing yet, so I'll just go back to that level.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently that second thing is unlocked.

What are the consecuences of this, aside from the scolding? I think it's a nice, extra challenge that I wouldn't mind doing in my playthrough.

Nice to hear some good impressions from the members here. My copy is arriving next weekend, though I hope I don't get myself spoiled on the ending or something.

Kamek turns all of your stickers into sandals

Is there skill in the slot machine thing? I just keep mashing for random results

It's entirely skill-based. The icons always follow the same patterns, and there's more of some icons, such as coins, than the others, so best to go for those if you just want 3 turns.

 

[jmls1121]

I am 5 hours in and really loving it so far. The game definitely has dat Nintendo polish and dat Nintendo "pull" to keep playing. A lot of the gripes I have heard so far really have no basis.

In the sandstorm area, on top of the Toad's house. In 2-1, sink below the sand between the 2 striped cacti. Video I found: http://youtu.be/tdsYyH-a8Ps

Run far away from this place, lol.

anyone pick up the guide with the game? the last two paper mario games i had the guide and enjoyed them.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Enjoying this one. Music is darn delightful.

I did not, but I think I read somewhere the guide comes with an actual sticker sheet... so now I kind of want it.
