I haven't see anyone directly compare to Color Splash, but the reviewer at Ars Technica said in the comments "I didn't like Color Splash or Sticker Star much at all. Origami King is definitely more engaging than those two." He also said it was the "Mario Party of RPGs" due to all the mini-games.

Just one more day...

i dont like when people say "sticker star and color splash is bad so that means origami king is bad" why do people choose to make that judgement? its my second favorite in the series with super at first.

Same. TOK is my #2 after SPM. Are you me? XD

i mean, we have similar hats

Yeah, lol.

Overall, I like TOK a lot better than CS. TOK is better than the previous 2 in every aspect, but there is still a lot to fix about it. Such as implementing EXP and adding new character designs, which Nintendo refuses to do with paper mario for some reason. I think that PM will get a lot better from here though since this is closest to the originals than the previous two.

Yeah, I think we were all hoping that Nintendo would have an epiphany with TOK and realize their flaws with the previous two Paper Mario games, but now like you said in your reply, here we go waiting again. Also, welcome to Digibutter!
