All those who thought this game would be entirely based around stickers are right.  Still, it looks to be a very interesting Mario RPG, even if the new core gameplay mechanic is gaining a few detractors here and there.



So Sticker Star eh?  Why do I think I can already tell exactly how this game's going to work?  I bet it'll have eight star shaped objects to collect in eight chapters loosely 'parodying' something or another in Paper Mario style.



The artwork looks nice enough I guess.



What the hell is up with that giant Goomba?  It looks really, really mad!



Oh look, did Mario level up?  Or this just the character art style being used on the official website.



Grassy meadow.  Seems a bit plain, although it looks like you literally pull the stickers off the background.



Snow world.  Not sure where the enemies are...



Fire Mario is apparently a sticker effect.  Pretty cool really, given how it seems you'll also have the POW block, Racoon Leaf, Frog Suit and Ice Flower.



Hooray for fighting desert enemies!



Mario and his sticker book.



This character I don't like.  I know she's important somehow, but her design is Super Paper Mario NPC/Pixl quality, aka terrible.  Bring back traditional Mario enemy species for the main characters, not random objects and shapes!

So that's Paper Mario Sticker Star for you, the 3DS's Mario RPG of the moment.  Given how stickers supposedly replace things like partners, I'm kind of wary of the main mechanic, but it doesn't seem like that far a step back.  Heck, a very similar gimmick was done with Bros Items in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time.

What do you think of Paper Mario Sticker Star?

I like the concept of it. It's what Brawl used, but better because in Brawl, it was used for the SSE and you couldn't see the effect. Here you use the sticker and you know that it's doing something. This is actually a good looking game.
 
This reminds me abit about Little BIg Planet..

Looks like the Norwegian Game Stop's Box Art still has a good chance of being it...
