Paper Mario: Color Splash / 4K Wii U emulator CEMU / RTX 2080ti
Paper Mario: Color Splash[a] is a 2016 action-adventure role-playing video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the fifth game in the Paper Mario series, the sequel to Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and the final Wii U game developed by Intelligent Systems. The story follows the protagonist, Mario, on his quest to retrieve the Big Paint Stars and rescue Princess Peach from Bowser.
The idea for a paint-themed game came from Atsushi Isano, the director of production for Intelligent Systems. The game was developed to take advantage of the Wii U hardware, including the GamePad, touchscreen and high-definition capabilities. The developing team implemented a card-based battle system because they thought it would be fun to use the GamePad to sort and flick cards. The artists heavily focused on making the in-game paper look as realistic as possible. The game was released in all regions in October 2016.
