| Graphics | 10 | While Paper Mario only dappled in paper effects, this game really has fun with it, letting Mario roll himself up, turn into a paper airplane or boat, and lots of paper-like background effects. |
| Sound | 10 | The music for each world really sets the mood and atmosphere. |
| Challenge | 10 | There are gauntlets that you must pass through in this game that are downright frustrating! |
| Replay Value | 7 | You'll have plenty to do after you beat the last boss, since it's hard to be very thorough in your first run. |
