Story
This section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Mario finds Princess Peach and Toad at his door one night during a storm. Surprised, he lets them in and receives a mysterious letter. The letter is actually Toad drained of his colors. The stamp on the letter points to Prism Island and Mario and co. quickly head there on a boat, even traveling through a storm. Upon arriving, Mario finds a hammer and uses it to reach the town square, that is deserted and full of elements whose colors have been drained. Toad then heads off, while Mario and Peach, after activating an emergency mechanism, meet Huey, a mysterious 3D talking paint bucket. A scream is heard and Mario, Huey and Princess Peach quickly head over to the sound only to find a Red Shy Guy with a straw, called Red Slurp Guy[1][2], draining the color from Toad. Toad gives some Battle cards to Mario and then the Slurp Guy fully drains his colors. Huey then asks Mario to squeeze him into paper form in order to obtain colors from his blood, his sweat and his tears. The colors are used to battle the Slurp Guy and two Shy Guys that came to his assistance. After the battle the colors from Huey are used to return Toad to color using Mario's hammer, then Huey discovers that the Big Paint Stars at Prisma Fountain are gone and asks Mario to find them and return them to the fountain, starting from a Red Mini Paint Star at Port Prisma that he mistakes for a Red Big Paint Star[3]. As soon as they reach the Mini Paint Star, they see an airship carrying a giant bucket of red paint that was stolen by the Slurp Guys[4]. When they reach Cherry Lake they find a Toad, named Justice Toad, that was hanging on the giant bucket but in the end fell off[5].
At Bloo Bay Beach, Mario and Huey find themselves participating in the Ocean Fest in their research for the Paint Star.[6]
Eventually, Mario and Huey find their way onto the airship and destroy it, causing the bucket to fall onto Crimson Tower.
Later at Crimson Tower, the duo runs into Morton Koopa Jr. who is guarding the red Big Paint Star. They fight him and return the star to the town square, and learn that Morton was sent by his master to also find the Big Red Paint Star.[6]
After collecting the Big Red Paint Star, Mario and Huey return to Port Prisma, where the Red Paint Star reveals that Bowser, while being covered in black paint, has thrown all the Big Paint Stars away from Prisma Fountain. Soon after the reveal, Bowser shows up and reveal to Mario his plan to use the power from the black paint to take on the world and then flies off on an airship with a lot of Bowser tape on it, including a long tape holding Peach. Peach manages to leave an Holo-Peach to Mario, where she reveals that Bowser seems different besides the black paint that covers him, even though he doesn't intend to be harmful toward her[7].
Later, Bowser is seen using the black paint to add color to his Banzai Bills. Peach is shown hanging colorless above his throne[8].
Later on, the duo runs into the Golden Coliseum where a gladiator battle is held between Mario and Iggy Koopa, a Hammer Bro and a Snifit, all three on chariots attached to Chain Chomps, while Iggy promises to give Mario the yellow Paint Star if he wins the challenge.[9]
At Dark Bloo Inn, Mario and Huey attempt to solve the mystery of paranormal incidents happening in the building, which ends up being related to a tea party that ghostly Toads are throwing. They must head to Plum Park to retrieve a teapot for the Toads after obtaining the Paint Star in the inn[10]. Upon reaching Plum Park, they find it in a poisoned state. They eventually find Petey Piranha, under the alias of "Petea Piranha", who is responsible for this. They defeat him and return the teapot to Dark Bloo Inn[11][12].
Later, at Fort Cobalt, Mario and Huey find Ludwig Von Koopa guarding the blue Big Paint Star. He fights the duo from atop his Super Ludship, but is defeated. The Big Paint Star is returned to the town square[13].
Gameplay
Paper Mario: Color Splash is an action-adventure game that appears to elaborate on the mechanics of Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It is based on Mario using the Paint Hammer[14] to paint colorless elements, characters and parts of the environment in order to progress in the game[14] and collect Mini Paint Stars and Big Paint Stars[6]. When a course is completed, several new courses may become available at once[10], and the number-based course naming that was seen in Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario: Sticker Star is gone[6].
Super Flags are returning as well, this time found in the main square of Port Prisma[14]. The battles are based on cards that can be painted to increase their effect[6]. Painted cards can be bought as well at the Prisma Cardware[15]. Once used, cards are discarded, it is however possible to buy them directly in battle using the Battle Spin and choosing one of the flipped cards[15]. There are three types of cards. Battle Cards are used for various purposes including attacking, healing and replenishing paint[16][6][17]. Many attacks are similar to those featured in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, with the hammer attacks now having a charging sign indicating at which point an "Excellent" attack can be obtained[6]. Things cards, which do not deplete Mario's paint[6], are used to summon Things[16], both in battle[6] and in the course to solve puzzles[6]. Such cards can be obtained by directly squeezing Things into Thing cards[17]. There is a shop in Port Prisma allowing the player to directly buy Thnigs to squeeze them into Thing Cards, and there are Replica versions of Thing Cards as well[15]. Finally Enemy cards, dropped by defeated enemies[6], are used to summon an enemy into the battle as an ally[16]. Only one ally can be present at a time[10]. Such an ally will attack other enemies and, when the enemies attack, position itself in front of Mario to protect him, and will stay in battle until defeated[6]. However, it will run away in front of bosses[6]. At the beginning of a battle, Kamek can sometimes appear and either flip all the cards or steal many cards, once the battle is won all the stolen cards are regained and additional coins are obtained as well[18][15]. The number showing the HP of the enemies as well as the number showing the amount of damage dealt in HP are both missing, while the health of each enemy is shown in the form of color that is gradually drained starting from the bottom[17].
Both the use of the Paint Hammer and the painting of most cards requires colors, whose levels are indicated by bars. Coins are obtained when winning a battle[1], as well as the game's Experience System, Hammer Scraps, cardboard hammers that fill a bar[19]. They exist in at least three different varieties with varying amount of glittery parts, and the scraps with more glittery parts fill the bar more than the scraps with less glittery parts. Once such bar is fully filled, the maximum amount of colors that can be carried is permanently increased[20][21] and the power of the First Strike is increased as well, up to the point that enemies on the course can be directly defeated without starting the battle[22][23]. The defeated enemies also drop various items, including colors, cards, and coins.
It is also possible to permanently increase the number of cards playable in a turn during a battle by collecting special power-ups[24]. Similarly, the maximum amount of HPs of Mario can be increased by collecting HP-Up Hearts that are obtained when saving a Big Paint Star[7]. Each HP-Up Heart increases the maximum amount of HP by 25[7].
In order to gain additional coins, there are side quests and mini-games that can be played. One of them is finding Luigi who is hiding in some places[6], another is playing Roshambo against several opponents at the Roshambo Temples[15].
Furthermore, it is possible to use a move similar to paperization called "Cutout" in order to cut part of the courses[6]. Likewise, the Flip technique from Super Paper Mario is returning as well, at least in a course dedicated to Super Mario Bros. 3[25]. Key items also return.

References to other games
- Super Mario Bros.: The music that plays in Indigo Underground is a rearrangement of the underground theme from this game.[50]
- Super Mario Bros. 2: The overworld music is rearranged. Shy Guys, Snifits, Ninjis, Birdo and Green Pokeys (based on their appearance) appear from this game. The vases also make an appearance in Château Chanterelle. Wart was mentioned in the game by a Yellow Toad.
- Super Mario Bros. 3: The Angry Sun is mentioned by one of the Five Fun Guys during Toad and Go Seek. Ptooie Plants also make their return. The Koopalings make their paper debut. There is an area that resembles a level in this game, where Mario can flip into 3D like in Super Paper Mario[8][25].
- Super Mario World: Dino Rhinos return from this game.
- Paper Mario: The jingle played when collecting a Big Paint Star is remixed from the first few notes of this game's opening theme. [29] The four additional colors Shy Guy wear in Shy Guy's Toy Box (blue, green, yellow, and pink) also appear from this game.
- Luigi's Mansion series: One of the Toads in Dark Bloo Inn references Luigi's role in these two games.
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: The running gag that originated from this game in which an implied grunt character is referred to as Johnson returns after being absent from Sticker Star.
- Super Paper Mario: Mario can flip in a certain area, an ability that originated in this game[8][25].
- Mario Party 8: The Five Fun Guys troupe name originates from the Mario and Toad team name featured in this game.[51]
- Mario Party 9: Toad and Go Seek is named after a minigame from this game.
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Iggy taunts Mario by slapping his behind like in this game[25].
- Paper Mario: Sticker Star: Photographs of the Yoshi Sphinx, a location in World 2, and Hither Thither Hill can be seen on the left wall in Dark Bloo Inn's lobby.[40]. Also, sound effects from this game are recycled. The music for Bowser's introduction is also the same music used for his introduction from the same game. When Mario gets a Big Paint Star, the music that plays when the areas color is restored is the same theme that plays when the flashbacks explaining how each of the bosses in that game got their respective Royal Stickers. Also, there are plenty of music tracks from this game that are remixed. The Koopalings' introduction themes were also taken from the Warning themes for the Sticker Star boss introductions.
- Mario Kart series: Luigi appears driving a Standard Kart modeled after the ones from Mario Kart 8. [52] Additionally, the "Luigi's Death Stare" meme, which originated from this game, is referenced.[53] Also, the title theme and the countdown timer to begin racing is taken from this game as well. Rainbow Road appears in the game and the music of that course is a remix from Mario Kart 64. Just before leaving Black Bowser's Castle in the ending, Luigi when reassuring Mario that Huey will be alright, mentions that he fell off Rainbow Road lots of times, alluding to the difficulty of the courses in the game.

- Two weeks ahead of release, it was discovered that pre-purchasing the game on Nintendo eShop unintentionally allows players early access to the full game.[54]
