Box Art Brawl – Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)

North America

Okay, so looking at the North American box art first, you’ve got a lovely yellow background full of stars, which honestly feels kind of apt for a Paper Mario game, somehow. Meanwhile, Mario himself is whacking a sticker Goomba, while a whole bunch of other sticker characters make up the surrounding area. It’s cool, there’s a lot going on, and we love the cat in the bottom left corner. Meow.

Europe / Japan

The European and Japanese box art, meanwhile, places Mario in a more contextual setting which really shows off the paper-esque environment and characters. It feels a bit easier on the eyes, with less going on, but still busy enough to look interesting and fun. Poor Toad’s having a right mare in both variants though, isn’t he? Poor guy.

Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
