Paper Mario, Colour Splash for the Nintendo Wii U

Like all of the other Mario games that we know and love, Paper Mario Colour splash is pretty different because imagine a land of Mario & friends madeΒ entirely of paper.

The story begins on a dark stormy night when Mario receives a knock on his door and to his surprise, it’s Princess Peach. Princess Peach is pretty sad because she hands Mario a folded up piece of paper that appears to be a blank Toad, completely drained of colour.

The kids really enjoyed solving the fun puzzles throughout Paper Mario Colour splash and especially appreciated the ability to use the cut-out technique with tricky puzzles to get flatten the 3D world into a single sheet of paper. They also enjoyed giving colourless spots or blank toads a wallop to give them colour again.
