Got this game for Christmas, and I love it! I love it, love it, love it!
Color Splash is basically Nintendo apologizing to those who hated Sticker Star, but also not alienating those who liked Sticker Star.
And it did this by fixing my biggest problem with Sticker Star: the soullessness. Color Splash is a lot more lively, thanks in part to the beautiful settings, usually the worst aspect of a Mario game these days.
The story also received a nice upgrade, a return to form without going too deep or overboard. The characters are all likeable and the dialogue is probably the best I've seen in a Paper Mario game, and I've played all of them.
Consumable items do return, but they don't bug me here like they do in Sticker Star. I never really had a problem with them, it's just that Sticker Star was so dull I saw everything as a chore. I'm fine with the new battle style as long as the game itself is fun.
My biggest concern with this game before playing was a lack of diversity. And yeah, the NPCs are for the most part Toads, but that doesn't bother me. Most of them have unique distinctions that set themselves apart from the other Toads. And yeah, it would be nice to see some Yoshis or Penguins, but I don't hold that against this game.
Also, the Roshambo Temple is a fun little minigame.
I had faith in this game from the moment I saw the trailers, and it payed off. It's a good thing it did, or else I would have lost all hope in Paper Mario.
My ultimate wish for a hypothetical next title: Take this paper train to Kongo Island. I want to see Paper Mario team up with Paper Donkey Kong.
