I find the story is very slow moving and the excessive talking slows the game to crawl sometimes, though it can be found

:Too much talking, not enough action sometimes

But the game is let down severely by the pace: for every fun platforming area, there's twice as much irritating, unnecessary talking, hunting for items, and using the gimmicky "flip to 3D mode" to find secrets

They should have fixed the excessive talking though =/

My husband and daughter skipped over most of the reading by hitting the a button as fast as they could without really effecting their game play (if they thought they missed something they could just talk to a person again).This includes some really puzzling puzzles, a fun story, great characters (both new and old), and a variety of controls.

All in all, Super Paper Mario is a well-rendered game for the Wii, and should entice new Mario fans, as well as those waiting Super Mario Galaxy

The music is Nintendo classic in appeal, the new characters just as eccentric as you've become used to, and the game lives up to everything that Mario games have become known for

Kids will love it as much as I do (and I'm nokid)
