"Super Paper Mario's humorous story, accessible gameplay, inventive design, cool visual style, and impressive amount of content give it an undeniable charm."
--Ricardo Torres, GameSpot
"There are some nice effects thrown in here and there but the clean, crisp nature of the levels and characters do a great job of presenting a polished, fun game."
--Bryn Williams, GameSpy
"Super Paper Mario proves the point that even as Nintendo makes titles like Wii Sports and Wario Ware, it hasn't forgotten about the hardcore gamer."
--Matt Casamassina, IGN
"There are plenty of new tunes that sound very Mario-esque, with upbeat tempos and familiar instruments. Many levels featured highly remixed segments of old Mario songs that really added a touch of nostalgia."
--Craig Majaski, Gaming Age
"While Super Paper Mario obviously isn't Super Mario Galaxy, and doesn't exactly exploit the Wii remote's gadgetry, it's got all the charm and gameplay expertise we expect from the Bros."
--Justin Leeper, Yahoo!Games
"All the truly impressive stuff happens in the actual numbered stages: Yes, you're still flattening Goombas and liberating Koopa Troopas from their shells, but stunningly creative level concepts...make it unlike any Mario game you've ever played."
--Shane Bettenhausen, 1UP
"From stylish and artistic graphics and some great gameplay this title is a must have for diehard Mario fans to people who just like good games."
--Kirby Y., Da GameBoyz
"As mind-bending as the 2-D / 3-D mechanic is, the worlds' varying styles, ranging from relatively sane to the utterly abstract, are what really brings the environments to life."
--Michael Cole, Nintendo World Report
"20 hours and a ton of fun later, you may not have used the Wiimote¡¯s special abilities, but I can assure you you¡¯ll have been on one hell of a ride."
--Gamer, GameBrink
"The relationship between the 2D and 3D perspectives is smart and presents many of the game¡¯s ¡°Wow¡± moments."
--Ricky Tucker, GameVortex
"Super Paper Mario is probably the perfect game for those that enjoyed New Super Mario Bros. and don't mind reading a bit too much as it has an actual story and cutscenes."
--Maria Montoro, Cheat Code Central
"The hybrid of platformer and RPG is something that should definitely be used again, and it's refreshing to see that game designers can actually create a game that is completely unique..."
--Jason Schreier, RPGamer
"There¡¯s no denying it: Super Paper Mario is the first must-play since the Wii launch almost half a year ago."
--Phillip Levin, Wii Advanced
