It's very rare to find a Mario game that isn't good. This lives up to the name.
The Paper Mario series has always been one of my favorites. They use 3-D graphics but make all the scenes and characters flat. When you turn from side to side, you can see how thin they are. Nintendo also throws in a lot of comedy by making jokes about paper. On the GameCube version, you can even fold Mario into an airplane or boat.
The previous versions have been mostly RPG oriented, which I've got no problems with. This one, for the Wii, took a new twist on the series. The game is a 2-D platformer. There's a twist, though: If you can't get through an area, press the A button and the game becomes 3-D and you can find new ways around areas or new items. It really gives you a great brain twister at times!
You can't go wrong with a solid 2-D platforming Mario game, and this is no exception. The 3-D platforming twist adds something unique to this title without being overused.
I can't recommend this game enough!
