Thumbs up Wii - Super Paper Mario - another must buy title

Arrived on our doorstep from Game last week and hasnt left the Wii's drive yet

If you liked Marios pervious games (and they are a little marmite) then this is a definate purchase.

Really clever idea of playing in standard 2d then being able to switch to 3d to get around/over/past bad guys/pits/chasms etc

Unfortunately I havent been able to play it yet due to wife and kids hogging it!

Cool. Been looking forward to this but was a little concerned there would be too much RPG style talking in it?

WATCH OUT FOR THE KNOWN BUG IN THE PAL VERSION...


If you're reading this from a PAL territory, you'll have had to wait six months longer than the NTSC boys to get your hands on Super Paper Mario - with a new game-crashing glitch thrown in.

The new bug crashes the game and forces you to restart your Wii and continue from your previous save point. Fortunately, it's avoidable. We'll let Nintendo talk you through it:

"At the start of Chapter 2-2, you will come across a character called Mimi. She will tell you to go to the farthest room on the first floor to meet a character called Merlee. Enter that room and press the green switch. A trap will be triggered, and a spiked ceiling will descend upon Mario. Before the ceiling reaches him, flip into 3D and jump on it to find a key.

"If you pick up the key, you won't run into any problems. Use it to open the locked door to Mimi's right. However, if you talk to Mimi without picking up the key, the game will freeze. You will then have to turn off your Wii console and start again from your last save point."

Nintendo apologises and says that the error won't damage your Wii or game disc, and if you simply can't bare the thought of owning a game containing a glitch, Nintendo will announce a replacement procedure soon.

this game is bugging the life out of me due to huge cut scenes where all the characters are talking and the console wont let you skip them I think there was 10 minutes of this before the game even started

So when you said that there wasn't too much talking in it, what you meant was . . .

I took a Gameboy Advance to Vegas recently - I'd forgotten what a genius game Super Mario World is! So much so, I'm getting a DS for my birthday. Maybe's a Wii for Christmas.

There's a time for Crysis and Bioshock, but hell, there's always time for Mario!
