E3 2016: Check Out the Stunning ‘Paper Mario: Color Splash’ Trailer!

The last time Paper Mario graced a Nintendo home console was back in 2007 when our flat hero was busy fighting Francis, Mr. L, Wracktail, and Count Bleck in Super Paper Mario. Now, after nine long years, the RPG franchise returns to consoles in Paper Mario: Color Splash for Wii U.

In this new adventure, Paper Mario finds himself on Prism Island where all the Toads have been drained of their color. As with previous Paper Mario titles, our titular hero will use the iconic hammer–only this time it is a Paint Hammer; just imagine the talents of Gallagher and Bob Ross rolled up into one truly effective household tool. In addition, the game will feature a new Battle Card system which will allow players to summon allies and objects to defeat enemies and bosses alike.

The game is visually stunning. After checking out the trailer below, be sure to scroll through our collection of screenshots; we are sure your eyes will pop as much as ours did.

Fans won’t have to wait too long as Paper Mario: Color Splash will be available this year on October 7.
