Meaning they’re easy to defeat bosses with those stickers. The Infinijump and Clone Jump stickers are broken.The endgame unlockables, the galleries for enemies, music, and Stickers cannot be used for free, as you have to pay coins to use.When you do use the specific thing against the boss, most of them will become pathetically easy to defeat, with some being possible to defeat in just one turn if you use the correct set of stickers against them.Gooper Blooper for example forces you to use the Sponge Thing to block his poison attack and reflect it back at him, which is outright ironic when Gooper Blooper is weak to his own poison. Another cryptic thing in this game is the fact that the main bosses are significantly harder to beat unless you use a very specific Thing Sticker against them, which you won't know unless you look it up, or figure it out through trial-and-error, which can go on for hours, as you have to collect each Thing Sticker multiple times just to see what works where, and what doesn't.Also, after those Kamek battles, you are basically forced to restock your stickers, which wastes more time and coins.The second and final battle with Kamek is annoying since he turns all of the stickers that you have into flip-flops, and it can be easy to lose a sticker you wanted since the flip-flop icon is all the same aside from their size.What makes it worse is that most enemies charge right at you when they see you, which is downright annoying and just wastes your time.You don't even have to battle for coins as you are rewarded with lots of coins for clearing a level. This takes away any incentive to battle regular enemies, as you're better off saving your stickers for required battles. Instead you have to rely on HP Hearts to increase your stats and they can be hard to find. You don't get any experience when clearing battles, instead you only get coins.Another bad offender is where you can’t go to Bowser’s Flying Castle because you cannot reach it, and Kersti suggests something that could fly you, which is Flutter (which is Wiggler with wings), and the worst part is that there is like nothing that suggests the fact that you should speak to Flutter. There's even a scene where you have to jump down a pitfall that would kill you to find a tablet piece just to continue the game. It's made worse when if you use the wrong Sticker, nothing happens and you lose said Sticker/Thing, causing you to go back and buy a new one. Levels often have objectives that are near impossible to figure out without a walkthrough, meaning it is extremely cryptic! You’re often being involved in placing very specific stickers in certain areas but without any hint of what sticker you need.Keep in mind that you cannot choose which enemy to attack. At the start of each battle, there's a slot machine that will determine how many stickers you can use per turn, which only serves to force you to pay up more coins to get 3 slots so you can attack all of the enemies.While on the subject of the title, The titular Sticker Star never even appears, it's only mentioned.If you do run out, you are completely unable to attack, meaning that if you run out of stickers in the middle of an inescapable boss battle, you are forced to helplessly watch as the boss pummels Mario until his HP is depleted or just reset the game from your last save point. As the title suggests, the main focus of the game is stickers, which while cool on paper, are your only method of attack, meaning you constantly have to keep collecting stickers otherwise you run the risk of running out of them in the middle of a battle. ![]() Original new enemies and characters are rather sparse unlike all other Mario RPGs, the only friendly NPCs are Toads (which while functional are forgettable), while new enemies are simply uncreative variations of older enemies. ![]() In fact, the game tries to make us feel sympathy for her when she sacrifices herself, which at first SEEMS emotional, but then becomes pointless when she returns.And you thought Merlinus was harsh to Roy. Plus, she's pretty hot tempered, even wrongfully accusing Mario of touching the Sticker Comet. She forces Mario to clean up the mess created by BOWSER, collect the pieces of the Sticker Comet, AND collect the Royal Stickers. Kersti (Mario's partner) is very unlikable even for a character in any Mario game.Bowser and Peach don't even talk for most of the game Bowser only gives out occasional roars and Peach doesn't even speak at all, let alone full sentences until the ending. ![]()
