Paper Mario: Color Splash is the first of the Paper Mario series to be released on the Wii U. The story starts with Princess Peach and Mario receiving a letter from Prism Island, which they find out is a color-drained Toad. This causes Mario, Peach, and another Toad to set sail for Prism Island. Upon arriving, Mario finds a hammer and uses it to reach the town square, that is deserted and full of elements whose colors have been drained.
Toad gives some Battle cards to Mario and then the Slurp Guy fully drains his colors. Huey then asks Mario to squeeze him into paper form in order to obtain colors from his blood, his sweat, and his tears. The colors are used to battle the Slurp Guy and two Shy Guys that came to his assistance.
The combat ability displayed by Mario and his free movements through the overworld are similar to Paper Mario: Sticker Star , with free combat by encounters in the overworld avoiding or engaging enemies at will. When engaging in battle, Battle Cards are used to engage the enemies, which either are fully colorized or need to be painted to fully use their effect.
Thing cards are 3D things that Mario can find in the field and squeeze out the colors from, to be used in battle and to solve puzzles. There is a similar move called "Cutout" to cut part of the courses to create shortcuts, place Thing Cards, or extract various items.
During the adventure of Mario and Huey, the amount of cards to be put in play, the amount of paint the Paint Hammer holds, and the maximum HP of Mario can be increased. The maximum HP of Mario is increased only when one of the six Big Paint Stars is collected and returned to the fountain.
Paper Mario: Color Splash was released on 2016-10-16 for the Wii U.
