N64 is on the top left, Wii VC is on the top right, and Wii U VC is on the bottom.

Just showing off the differences between the original Paper Mario on N64 and the Wii and Wii U VC versions. There were more differences than I was expecting just from the intro and first ten minutes alone. In the intro, the Star Spirits glow around them was darkened and the rainbow path in the end was just purple in both VC versions. The intro itself runs a bit faster with each VC version.

(I forgot to mention that in the Wii U intro at 1:25 when Kammy uses her wand, there's a grey circle in the middle of the energy beams).

Wii VC does look faithful to the original game, which is good. When pausing the game, the pause screen showing up is delayed by a second. That's a minor issue, but its worth pointing out. It does miss some effects that the original had, but not as much as Wii U. But the Rumble Pak is not supported in this version for some strange reason.

The Wii U VC version doesn't emulate some of the effects that the Wii VC version was able to emulate. (The Bowser star rod effects is barely even seen and the sunlight effect in the beginning of the game and in other places in the game is gone). The Rumble Pak is emulated in this version though. And the game is desaturated compared to the original.
