Fandom Heresy: Simply mentioning the game can cause this in some circles.Ensemble Dark Horse: The Mariachi Shy Guys and Gooper Blooper for the music theming behind them and being plain hilarious, the "Snifit or Whiffit" Host for his level being one of the highlights of the game, and Mizzter Blizzard for being a Tragic Monster and having more characterization than anyone else in the game.Taking it even further, the final level was originally supposed to be a minigame gauntlet whether or not this would have been better is up for debate. The only stage that's actually complicated and involved is Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla, and even then you would expect more than just that. On top of that, the first area, Gate Cliff, is barely passable as a level (even though the game lists it as 6-1), as it's a tiny area that only contains an interactive cutscene linking to the final areas when you have 5 Royal Stickers, as well as the aforementioned Bowser's Sky Castle, which is very short and simple and (mostly) serves as a final corridor before the Final Boss. It only consists of three levels, when all of the previous worlds had at least five (for the record, World 3 had twelve), making it the shortest world in the entire game.

Even for those who like the game, Bowser's Sky Castle is really short and simple, simply consisting of the final bout against Kamek, a couple of corridors with no enemies, and Bowser.Critical Dissonance: Sticker Star has gotten So Okay, It's Average scores from most critics, which is certainly different from the outright negative reception from fans.These people often feel the game is just alright and wouldn't receive the amount of hate it gets if it didn't influence future titles. While many would agree Sticker Star is the weakest title in the series, some people feel the hostile reception to it is overly exaggerated as the game has good ideas and qualities that are paired with notable problems and design choices. Critical Backlash: Has been seeing this more over time.Bile Fascination: Given its reputation as the weakest Paper Mario, some have played just to see if Sticker Star is really that bad. ![]()
