Paper Mario: Color Splash is an action-adventure, turn-based role-playing game released for the Nintendo Wii U in 2016. The game continues the Paper Mario series with its unique papercraft visual style and introduces a new paint-based gameplay mechanic. Players must restore color to the color-drained world of Prism Island using Mario's new Paint Hammer. The game is well-regarded for its humorous narrative, engaging puzzles, and charming art style, though it drew some criticism for its combat system and departure from the RPG roots of the series.
