==Storyline==
==Storyline==
The story starts during the night of the annual holiday, the Sticker Fest, where the citizens come to witness the [[Sticker Comet]] fly by in the sky. It is said that the Sticker Comet will actually make wishes come true. [[Princess Peach]], on stage, shows the audience (which consists of [[Mario]] and a myriad of [[Toad (species)|Toads]]) the comet as it floats down to the scene. Suddenly, [[Bowser]] and his troops appear and crash the festivities. Out of want for the comet, Bowser decides to take it as his own, while [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s applaud. Three Toads attempt to pull Bowser away but inadvertently have him crash into the Sticker Comet, breaking it into six pieces and sprawling them across the Mushroom Kingdom. One of them happens to fall on Bowser’s head making him more powerful, and unleashes a tornado which scares away the Toads. A furious Mario tries to attack him, but is overpowered and later wakes up with the Sticker Fest in a disaster, Toads stuck to Bowser stickers, and Princess Peach missing. After regaining conciousness, Mario meets [[Kersti]], a sticker fairy and the caretaker of the Royal Stickers. At first, she blames Mario for touching the Sticker Comet and causing the destruction of the Sticker Fest, as she tells him that a Sticker Comet must never, ever be touched. Mario tries to explain that it was Bowser for touching the comet, but Kersti takes this as a cowardly excuse of him at first. Mario then suggests that he'll help Kersti get the Royal Stickers back, with Kersti finally agreeing with him. It's now Mario's goal to retrieve the 6 Royal Stickers that have spread across the land and rescue Princess Peach and the Toads from Bowser, who is also aided by [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Kamek]].

After forgoing the classic battle system in favor of a sidescrolling platformer-style system in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' returns to the turn-based system from the first two installments. However, players will have to gather stickers, which in addition to be needed to solve puzzles to advance through the game, they also needed for battle commands. Stickers are a major part of the gameplay and storyline. Some objects appear in the form of stickers, and they will also have the ability to give power ups to Mario, such as the [[Frog Suit]]. They can also be used to overcome obstacles. Various real-world objects also appear and after being turned to stickers in Decalburg, they can be used in battle or in the overworld (e.g, a Fan sticker can be used in World 1-2 to gain entrance to a windmill). Instead levelling up from experience points in the previous installments, Mario must solve problems (one example is that a Toad in World 1-2 has a ruined flower bed, thanks to the aforementioned fan, but can be solved using Kersti's 'Paperization' ability (which is another new feature) and three of Mario's attack flowers) and will be rewarded with an HP Up Heart. Stickers also appears to replace Badges from the first two installments in the series. A new feature include a "Battle Spinner" slot machine, which is similar to [[Bingo!]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''; it allows Mario to get set of extra stickers or coins<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/32564/paper-mario-3ds-preview/]</ref>.
After forgoing the classic battle system in favor of a sidescrolling platformer-style system in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' returns to the turn-based system from the first two installments. A screenshot shows [[Mario]]'s original [[Jump]] and [[Hammer]] commands in the form of [[Stickers]] and a redesigned layout for the system's touch screen. Partners may return after being replaced by the [[Pixl]]s, with screenshots showing a [[Chain Chomp]] which is assumed to be a partner of [[Mario]]. A clip of gameplay footage has shown this Chain Chomp being thrown by its chain in the overworld, not unlike one of [[Bowser]]'s attacks in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' (and loosely similar to [[Kooper]] and [[Koops]] from the first two games).

===Partners===
Partners work differently in ''Sticker Star'', only being used one time to solve certain puzzles and not in battle. The only true partner is [[Kersti]], and partner attacks have been removed entirely in favor of stickers; i.e. [[Shell Toss]] has been replaced by a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] sticker.

Template:Infobox Paper Mario: Sticker Star (known as Paper Mario: Super Seal in Japan) is an upcoming RPG for the Nintendo 3DS developed by Intelligent Systems. So far, it will be released in North America on November 11th, Japan on the 6th of December and the 7th of December in Europe. As the fourth installment in the Paper Mario series, it is the first Paper Mario title to be released for a handheld console.

Storyline

The story starts during the night of the Sticker Fest where the citizens come to witness the Sticker Comet fly by in the sky. It is said that the Sticker Comet will actually make wishes come true. The Sticker Comet driftly fly down toward the Festivial displaying itself to the residents. Suddenly, Bowser and his troops appears. Out of want for the comet, Bowser decides to jump for it to take it as his own, but in the process breaks the Sticker Comet into pieces sprawling them across the Mushroom Kingdom. A crown happens to fall on Bowser’s head making him more powerful and he decides to kidnap Princess Peach.[1] With the help of the sicker fairy, Kersti, Mario must retrieve all the stickers that have been spread across the land and recuse Princess Peach from Bowser, who is also aided by Bowser Jr. and Kamek.

Nintendo eShop Description

Launching this holiday, this classic action role-playing franchise gets a fresh 3D look in its hand-held debut as Mario uses stickers found in the game to win battles and solve puzzles.

Gameplay

Mario stomping on a Goomba.

After forgoing the classic battle system in favor of a sidescrolling platformer-style system in Super Paper Mario, Paper Mario: Sticker Star returns to the turn-based system from the first two installments. A screenshot shows Mario's original Jump and Hammer commands in the form of Stickers and a redesigned layout for the system's touch screen. Partners may return after being replaced by the Pixls, with screenshots showing a Chain Chomp which is assumed to be a partner of Mario. A clip of gameplay footage has shown this Chain Chomp being thrown by its chain in the overworld, not unlike one of Bowser's attacks in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (and loosely similar to Kooper and Koops from the first two games). Players will have to gather stickers, each needed to solve puzzles to advance through the game. Stickers are a major part of the gameplay and storyline. Some objects appear in the form of stickers, and they will also have the ability to give power ups to Mario, such as the Frog Suit. They can also be used to overcome obstacles. Instead leveling up from experience points in the previous installments, Mario must solve problems and will be rewarded with an HP Up Heart. Stickers also appears to replace Badges from the first two installments in the series. A new feature include a "Battle Spin" slot machine, which is similar to Bingo! in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door; it allows Mario to get set of extra stickers or coins[2].
