While other Paper Mario games had quite pronounced RPG elements, Super Paper Mario takes the series back to basics.This game is a platformer through and through, and a mighty fine one at that. The traditional 2D gameplay is given a unique and clever twist by letting Mario shift the stages into 3D setting up some rather fun and light puzzle solving. Having Peach, Luigi and Bowser as playable characters also mixes things up in several stages but Mario is the one you'll rely on most throughout the game. Presentation-wise the graphic style is cute and just pleasant to look at. Aurally, it features Mario staples and plenty of new music. Super Paper Mario started as a Gamecube title and it's easy to tell. Actual Wii Remote functionality is minimal, but the game really doesn't suffer any for it. Virtually any Wii owner should have a great time with SPM. Highly recommended!
