Shane Bettenhausen 1UP	April 9, 2007 - Excellent - So while it's far from the platforming/role-playing godsend that some Nintendo fans expected, Super Paper Mario still qualifies as a must-play for any Wii owner. Full Review


Greg Vallentin VideoGamer	September 23, 2007 - Excellent - Super Paper Mario is a well-rounded adventure with some truly ingenious puzzles and highly enjoyable gameplay, packaged with a surprisingly rich story to unearth. Full Review


John Walker Eurogamer	September 19, 2007 - Good - Is it a new Wii must-have? I'm going with, perhaps. It uses the Wii tech so cleverly, remembering that simple is best, but letting it play in a way impossible on any other console. Full Review


Emily Mollenkopf G4 / X-Play	May 17, 2007 - Good - Super Paper Mario is undeniably fun, and funny. It invites you to think in an entirely novel way about classic worlds that once seemed immutable. Full Review


John Furness Game Positive	May 11, 2007 - Good - Despite various shortcomings in presentation, Super Paper Mario pushes past tried and true game design to deliver an experience that is ultimately fulfilling. Full Review


John Benyamine GameDaily	April 10, 2007 - Good - Overall, Super Paper Mario is a good, solid game. It looks beautiful, it plays well and it offers some good old-fashioned Nintendo fun. Full Review


Ricardo Torres GameSpot	April 9, 2007 - Good - In the end, while it's not quite on par with some of the other entries in the series, Super Paper Mario stands as an engaging and fun Wii game that's well worth your time. Full Review


Bryn Williams GameSpy	April 9, 2007 - Good - Super Paper Mario is a rock-solid entry into the Wii's expanding library of games. It's of a substantially higher quality than the majority of third-party games recently released and as such, it should appeal to virtually everyone who owns the console. Full Review


Brett Elston GamesRadar	March 30, 2007 - Good - You'll laugh when Luigi's "Brobot" comes down to wreak havoc on the team. Hell, you might even care about why the Purity Hearts can stop the Chaos Heart from usurping all that is. We sure did, annoyances be damned. Full Review


GameTrailers	April 10, 2007 - Good - If you've been waiting for the next epic Wii game, well, this is it. Super Paper Mario delivers in a multitude of ways with its unique take on perspectives, some devilish puzzles, and all the hopping and bopping you can handle. Full Review


Matt Casamassina IGN	April 5, 2007 - Good - You should buy this game for a number of reasons. It's a Mario game and for some that will be enough. It's also one part platformer and another part RPG, successfully dabbling in both genres. Full Review
