KCF0107 07/29/17 5:38:10 PM #64:	19. Paper Mario: Color Splash This is going to be a super-long writeup, so I apologize. If you didn't like Sticker Star, I'm guessing that you won't like Color Splash. Probably the #1 question people had is if battles are pointless. The answer is yes and no. The vast majority of fights result in a sort of XP being strewn about on the level. They come in the form of paper hammers that in turn fill up a meter on your paint hammer. When the meter fills up, you hammer's ability to store paint increases. In the beginning, you will likely never run out of paint unless your attacking style revolves almost solely around ice and fire flowers, which might be the most paint-draining types of cards. It isn't until later in the game that you will require of you to having a card deck of strong cards, and thus you might run into color. To complicate matters, there are pre-painted cards to go along with the non-painted ones. Pre-painted cards are at their most powerful and don't require paint. Non-painted cards can be used in that format, but are severely weak compared to their painted counterparts, and you can use paint to make them powerful. Several of these cards can be purchased in a shop in the hub town (coins are also easy to come by), but most come in the non-painted variety. So while coins are easy to come by and paint is in low-demand and high-supply in the early going, it is necessary that you do fight many non-scripted fights to build up your paint hammer or you might find late game segments to be frustrating. I don't know if that is good enough of an incentive or not, but I feel that the reward is worth it, not to mention that I find battling fun anyway. The second question is about the humor and charm. As I mentioned in Sticker Star, I felt that it was worthy of the Paper Mario name with its humor and charm. If you disagree, and I assume many will, Color Splash might be exactly what you are looking for. I will even say that Color Splash has an argument for being the funniest Paper Mario game, or at the very least is the most top-heavy in terms of humor with Dark Bloo Inn being the highlight level of the game. If Sticker Star turned you away from the series, I hope that you reconsider with Color Splash or you are missing out on a great game. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:883829916] in KCF's Top ...
