"*All games except Super Paper Mario feature a turn-based combat system" - can this game be linked?
This is a solid article; it is well-written, comprehensive and the prose generally flows well. The references are also all in check and the images are fine. I've done some minor formatting so hope that's OK. Once all of the above are out of the way I'll be happy to promote this. ♦ jaguar 21:23, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
I just thought it would be something worth bringing up for possible featured articles, is it perhaps too many gameplay images? None of the other series articles use this many gameplay screenshots for a single series. I understand that each entry introduced a new system, but not every game should reflect the gameplay. Just worried it will fail NFCC. Blue Pumpkin Pie ( talk) 21:15, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
And although this looks like too many gameplay images, look at Super Smash Bros. P anini 🥪 22:34, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
The current Paper Mario logo claims it was used since 2012, but it's very evident that the Paper Mario logo has been around since Super Paper Mario. I know the original Paper Mario is free content, but it just seems unnecessary. there wasn't a permanent logo for the series until Super Paper Mario. Is it vital or informative enough to have?

Hello Panini!. After completing my preliminary copyedit I always ask questions about the article to ensure that my edit reflects the intended meaning and is clear in doing so. Please reply to each point by indenting below each one like you would a conversation; items will be struck out once they have been answered. Please ping me with {{ U}}, {{ ping}}, or {{ re}} as I have a lot of items on my watchlist. My copyediting process can be found here. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:14, 24 June 2021 (UTC) |
I lied, Panini! Turns out I've got quite a few questions.
Although the early games in the series were well-received, Kensuke Tanabe wanted each one to have a different style, with various genre and core gameplay elements.Wikilinks removed. Maybe do away with "style" and reword the latter part of the sentence to Tanabe wanted each one to have different genre and core gameplay elements?
Wikilinks removed, italics in original. Were all the games in the series nominees for multiple awards, or just these three? If it's the latter, it might be better to just mention which awards they've won.Being nominated for a number of awards, The Thousand-Year Door won "Role Playing Game of the Year" at the 2005 Interactive Achievement Awards, Super Paper Mario won "Outstanding Role Playing Game" at the 12th Satellite Awards in 2007, and Sticker Star won "Handheld Game of the Year" at the 16th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards in 2012.
In the series, Mario is tasked with a quest to explore the Mushroom Kingdom.Wikilink removed. Isn't this only true for the first few games? Super Paper Mario definitely doesn't fit the bill.
Combat is similar to other RPG games [...]Don't think this is overly necessary, as many RPGs utilise random encounters where the enemies don't appear on-screen. It looks like it could be removed without affecting the rest of the sentence that follows.
Alongside the use of stickers, Mario can "Paperize" the environment, causing his surroundings to lay down flat to reveal stickers and other secrets that are flat on the ground.It's "flat on the ground" that confuses me. Is the article saying that Mario's "Paperize" ability can flatten the surroundings to reveal hidden items that are on the ground (but they're not facing the sky)?
Although Paper Jam is a crossover, it puts more emphasis toward gameplay than that of the Mario & Luigi series.Italics in original. I think "Paper Mario" is missing when talking about "gameplay". Should we add that in?
[...] however, the game was moved to the Wii in mid-2006, and released in April 2007.Does this mean the game was re-coded for the Wii, or that it was announced to be played on the Wii mid-2006?
After additional trailers at E3 2011 and Nintendo World 2011, the game and title were announced at E3 2012 [...]Already edited, wikilinks removed, emphasis added. What's the difference between a "game" and a "title" here?
The series underwent changes in an attempt to reach new and various audiences.Already edited. This seems better placed at the beginning of a paragraph. At what point is the series considered to undergo changes to reach new audiences?
The artists made the worldbuilding and graphics look like paper and craft materials [...]Already edited. I can see how it applies to graphics, but how does "look[ing] like paper and craft materials" apply to worldbuilding?
In a 2020 interview with Video Games Chronicle, Tanabe reaffirmed [...]Emphasis added. Where in the article does Tanabe make an earlier mention of "not ignoring 'casual players'"?

Hi, I edited this sentence "From Paper Mario: Sticker Star onwards, the Paper Mario games are more aimed towards the action-adventure genre." to read "From Paper Mario: Sticker Star onwards, the Paper Mario games were aimed more towards the action-adventure genre." but someone reverted this. Its minor, but "From Paper Mario: Sticker Star onwards, the Paper Mario games are more aimed towards the action-adventure genre." (the current version) just reads weird to me.. So I'm wondering if this sentence is actually correct and it just sounds weird? It seems to me like "aimed more towards" (my edit/suggestion) is better than "more aimed towards" (current version) -- And it also seems to me like "were" (not we're) would be better than are, but the person who undid the edit noted that the games are still made, so I'm not as sure about that. (don't know the exact tense rules for English)
