Another great addition to the mario franchise

Super paper Mario does exactly what it intends. It gives gamers a game that is not for parties and not for for your grandparents. This game is one of the better ones out there for Wii. The gameplay is reminiscent of old school Mario. Using bowser, peach, luigi, and mario, you will go through multiple worlds in order to save them all. You will go through them to attain pure hearts that will be used to defeat the evil Count Bleck. Without giving away spoilers i will say that the plot is one of the better ones of the paper mario series seeming that it deals with a lot of human (or koopa) emotions. The musical score feels like the remix of the old 8-bit days, this isn't a bad thing. Graphics are typical paper mario. All of the worlds seem to be drawn in and sometimes become drawn in as you progress. My only faults with this game is that you will often get stuck with the puzzles. Boss fights will not give you to much challenge. When you do find yourself wondering what you didn't do, often it will require backtracking which can get annoying. All in all super paper mario is a great experience.
