But this is surprisingly little-used: almost all the levels are essentially 2D with a screen’s worth of thickness, as in the screenshots above (from the first level). In 3D you have more directions to travel in. The trouble is that there are only a small number of kinds of ways the 2D/3D interaction is used: 2D is beautiful, 3D is bigīut I have to say that the novelty soon wore off and it quickly became rather tedious. This is initially very exciting, because the first level is laid out in similar fashion to a traditional Super Mario level, and deliberately invites the comparison: “look what you can do now!” If you can’t get over an obstacle, go around it in the third dimension if you can’t jump over an enemy, go around it in the third dimension.Ī wall may be a barrier in two dimensions, but there’s no difficulty in three dimensions. Mario, a character in a standard 2-dimensional platform-game world, gains a power that allows him to turn sideways, revealing that his 2D world is but a paper-thin façade on a 3-dimensional underlying reality. The feature that everyone commented on is the combined 2D/3D gameplay. I guess the marketing creates expectations that influence what reviewers think and write. It’s not surprising that the marketing should emphasize the former, but slightly disappointing that the reviewers should mostly miss the latter (based on a limited sample at ).
The other is subtle, little commented on, and a big success. One is graphically and conceptually spectacular, and was hyped in the game’s advertising, and is somewhat of a failure. Super Paper Mario has two significant innovations. The second in the series, 2004’s Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for the Nintendo GameCube, was a pretty straightforward repeat of the Paper Mario gameplay, with nicer graphics and a very witty plot.
