Sticker

Stickers are important elements in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. They serve as Mario's one and only method of attacking, and as such there are a wide variety of stickers to attack with. They are also used to solve puzzles and unlock pathways.

Background
Stickers come from the Sticker Comet. Once every year, they rain down on the Mushroom Kingdom during the Sticker Festival. After Bowser accidentally shatters the Comet into Royal Stickers, Mario is forced to retrieve them with the help of Kersti, a sticker being who is the caretaker of the Sticker Comet. Along the way, stickers are used to solve puzzles and battle enemies.

Stickers can be found almost everywhere. They are sometimes dropped by enemies, found on walls, found in ? Blocks, bought at shops, etc. Stickers obtained are kept in Mario's sticker album. Stickers can only be kept as long as there is space in the album, and certain stickers take up more room than others. In order to maximize usage of space, it may be necessary to rearrange stickers or even remove them.

Stickers are grouped into different types:


 * Stickers - this section of the album holds all battle stickers and thing stickers.
 * Things - while not technically stickers themselves, "things" can be converted into thing stickers at a shop in Decalburg.
 * Scraps - these are obtained from removing environmental objects from a Paperized scene. They can be re-pasted later.

Battle Stickers
There are 96 battle stickers.

Things
Things are objects that can be found within the game. They are named such because, unlike most of the denizens in the game, the items are not actually made out of either paper or similar material such as cardboard. There are a total of 64 things throughout the game, each with a different purpose. Although they aren't made out of paper, as noted before, they can be rendered into stickers by flinging them onto a special board. In addition, a specific toad in Decalburg will sell things in a manner that is implied to be illegal.
