Overview
A mystery is afoot on Prism Island - and only Paper Mario can solve it by restoring the island's vanishing colors with his new Paint Hammer and the powerful Battle Cards up his sleeve. These fresh layers of strategy, along with the hilarious action adventure gameplay the series is known for, make this one of the most colorful Paper Mario action-adventure games ever.

Paper Mario: Color Splash is clever and funny but a chore to play
A dreadful combat system brings down an otherwise beautiful and funny Mario adventure.
‘Paper Mario: Color Splash’ makes a game of dragging the past into the present
Bowser's latest m'ch�-nations are boringly familiar. Despite the usual fizzy writing, this series doesn't make us crease up like it used to.
