Paper Mario: Color Splash

Paper Mario: Color Splash is an upcoming action-adventure role-playing game in the Paper Mario series for Wii U. It will be the fifth installment of the series.

Gameplay
The game appears to be inspired by Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It is based on Mario using the Paint Hammer to paint colorless elements, characters and parts of the environment in order to progress in the game. These colorless elements and characters appear to be connected to Shy Guys with a straw called Slurp Guys. Furthermore Bowser is involved as well, since Bowser's adhesive tape from the same game is returning. Super Flags are returning as well, this time they are found in the main square of the town where Mario arrives. The battles will be based on cards that have to be painted in order to be used. Both the use of the Paint Hammer and the painting of cards will require colors, whose levels are indicated by bars and whose maximum amount can be increased (maximum amounts observed so far are 100, 150 and 180). Things will return in battle again, this time in cards, which appear to not deplete Mario's paint. The hammer attacks will now have a charging sign indicating at which point an "Excellent" attack can be obtained and it is confirmed that only coins will be obtained when winning a battle.
