You can rebuy Things you've owned before in Decalburg. Or, if you don't want to pay, you can simply go back to where you originally found the Thing, and it will have respawned.
I can? On the shop? cause there's only the standard stickers there
ohhh wait secret door is now functional
thxxx
also, what's the deal with bosses, the giant goomba thing just wouldn't die

To the left of the main plaza, there's an area where you can use Things you've found and turn them into stickers. Keep going left from there and there's a shop where you can buy them back.
The bosses all have weaknesses you're supposed to exploit (with thing stickers, generally). Goomba's is
the fan, if you use it when the individual goombas are flapping about
This game is good, but Persona 4 is one of the best games of the decade, and three times as long.
this stupid
cheep cheep
aaaaaaa
thanks for bitching about Skyward Sword guysss
hmm I need a hook it seems
you can find
the hook in level 3-6 using a door
I still need to find the treasure chests in world 2 only found the piece in the yoshi sphinx. I love the fact that you can just march on without completing a world. When you get stuck you can always come back later and continue your game. I did some parts of world 3 and 4 now. but taking it slowly

The Cheepcheep is easy.
Use the fishing hook to get him out of the water. When he is inflating use the push pin on him and it'll one hit KO him.
I wasted my cat-o-luck on the fish if only i knew this before fighting him
Thanks for the tip will try this on a second play through.damn, didn't know about that second part!
I have a love/hate relationship with these bosses, lol. I didn't have too much trouble though,
fish hook made it easy enough

Only if you want to complete it 100% (you need 500 perfect battles/1000 excellent attacks/10,000 coins spent)

I like it so far. Loved TYD and didn't really like SPM so there's that. It feels really suited for handheld play - didn't think they could pull that off. Humour is good but used rather sparsely.

I must say that I feel the exact opposite. The last time I had this much fun with Paper Mario was on the N64 and the original game. I felt the Sticker system was a more fun way to play than using traditional RPG mechanics, though I do wish there were members in your party.
Though I must reiterate what yous said in your post, it has superb music!

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Just got the e-mail from NoE.
Despite not registering the game until the afternoon, I have won the Sticker Book.
Really pleased!

Is there a menu that tracks these stats so I can see how close I am to completing these?
There are banners posted at the ground in the festival grounds at Decalburg that show you how close you are to completing each task.

OK...all stickers and things collected, and all achievements earned. Just have to beat Bowser and I'll be done with this wonderful and under appreciated game.
My favorite game of all the Paper Marios.

Today lol
I mis-read axisofweevils' post and thought he said he registered it this afternoon rather than the afternoon of the release day.
Just finished the game (well, beat the final boss). Took me 16 and a half hours, but I'm thinking I'll try to fill the museum since I've only got 15 or so battle stickers left to get (quite a few thing stickers though).
The game can be quite frustrating at times (including the final boss...), but overall it's pretty fun. Taken on it's own, it's a flawed but good game. Unfortunately, I can't help but feel disappointed with it though because of what it could have been. I really didn't like the sticker system, hated the fact there was no story/partners/interesting characters and wished the game was one big, connected world instead of SMB-style levels (although, I suppose I can understand this one, since it's a handheld game).
I just hope we get a WiiU Paper Mario and that it doesn't disappoint...
The music in this game was amazing though! Great soundtrack.

Just finished it, major dissapointment. It's certainly not a bad game, but it's missing all of the elements that make Paper Mario so great, the feeling of adventure, earning new ablities allowing you to explore, the humor (although when this game has a hand in humor it does it great, too bad it's so sporadically) and all the crazy locales you get to see.
Instead we have a good battle system that kinda loses itself by allowing you to overpower everything all the time. Partners and Badges make for a much more compelling system than the sticker system that's for sure, allowing you to play however you want instead of just throwing everything and seeing what sticks.
World map was a joke, stages are for the most part fine, but there's nothing really cohesive that captures the essence of the grand adventure Mario is embarking, especially since they're just the run of the mill plains, desert, forest volcano levels, without anything witty to really make them stand out unlike PM64's desert stage or TTYD wrecked island. Not to mention there's nothing crazy like Shy Guy's toy box or the Glitz Pit. Being stucked with just jump, hammer and paperization doesn't lend itself to that fun exploring.
It's disapointing seeing this was so barebones, it could've been so much better, but the "handheld-ization" of it probably was for the worst. Losing with it many of the elements of what makes Paper Mario great. Instead we got a very obtuse game, with little to no hints as to how to progress at times, which I wasn't a big fan of really. It's not a bad game, but it definately didn't win me over.
Music is so fucking good though.

i am enjoying this game so far. purchased the download version. its such a nice looking game. having not really played paper mario games before (save for a few goes on the n64 version). I have nothing to compare ot against. on its own merits its fun and enjoyable. nice mix of exploration and action. the levels are nice and bite sized. i expect some back tracking but thats cool by me.
i got the main world map song stuck on a loop in my head. the music im this game is amazing.

I read this in a walkthrough, but I didn't have either of those items. It kind of bothers me that story progression is basically tied to
finding items behind blue door

It sucks because both sides have great points, and a 3rd side exists with, "They had the right idea, but were purposely limited by supervisors." I really want to read when people revisit this a year from now, as I can't guess how it will strike them.
Oh, and in case you people didn't read the Soundtracks Topic and care, the music's possibly by Yasumasa Yamada, an old S.N.K. person, but it's almost certainly by 2 people formerly of Lovedelic and now at Vanpool, Masanori Adachi and Kiyoshi Hazemoto.
So, basically, listen to U.F.O.: A Day In The Life (or the Tingle games, Allan Holdsworth) for something similar and play Lovedelic games. But you knew that you ought to do that, didn't you?
I'm really liking the jazzy music in this game. So far so good. I wish you could automatically pick up most stickers. Having to peel 2/3 of them is already getting annoying. You should only have to peel/ find semi-rare and rare stickers. Common ones should just be laying around, or how they are already, found in boxes.

I'm only a couple hours into this game, and it's really strange. I feel like I should be having more fun with it than I am. Does it pick up after world 1?
If 1-5 doesn't win you over, I think it may be a lost cause
World 2 definitely has some really good parts though. 3 unfortunately can feel like a slog at times. 4 and onwards are great, but if the game hasn't clicked by the end of World 2, chances are things won't change much.

I just bought this game online and now I'm reading many posters expressing their disappointment with the game.
Hopefully i enjoy it as TTYD is one of my favorite games ever.

I am starting to get the hang of it. It's kind of like Zelda. I actually like that there isn't a lot of handholding. Too much of that in games these days.
World 2, start!! It's getting fun now that I'm figuring it out.

This one is cleanly divisive. You probably shouldn't go in expecting TTYD 2 though. For better or worse, it is its own game even if it superficially looks more like Paper Mario 1 and 2 than Super Paper Mario does.
Glad to hear it, hope you continue to enjoy the game. It's definitely not an RPG and once you start to come to terms with that, I think the pieces often fall into place.
