If the next Paper Mario game is nothing like Sticker Star and more like the others, it will be chock-full of references to the first three, SPM included. I wouldn't be surprised if we see redesigns of the SPM enemies to fit in with the normal PM art style.

i would like bringing back the old designs as long as it had the papery feel of sticker star

say what you will about the game but it was paper

We barely saw anything of SS in its early stages though...

Enough to know it didn't have any SPM references, which btw the game being the way it was didn't stop it from referencing TTYD.
 
Dunno if you know this, but Sticker Star also has a reference to SPM. Granted it's really small, but still there. I dare you to figure out what it is.
 
Is it actually a reference or is it just you grasping at straws to try and make a point?

tell me
 
Toad: "Bowser crumpled me up 256 times." something like that.

In SPM:
Dimentio: "In this mind-bending realm, my attacks are 256 times more potent."
Cragnon crew member: "Cragnons heard that story 255 times brah." "Brah, if you count time we weren't tied up, then it 256 times"
Number of Catch Cards in game.
 
So its just you grasping at straws. I expected as such.
 
-it was a running gag in SPM
-it was referenced again within the same series
-Super Mario 64 isn't the only 64 game, there's also Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Paper Mario (64), etc

Why else would they throw in that particular number, unless it referenced something?
 
Its probably just somebody's favourite number at IS.

Seriously, thats barely anything. At least the TTYD reference actually specifically mentions both a character and an implied location.
 
It's a reference to 8-bit storage limitations and games on Nintendo systems use that naming trend all the time (including part of the system name in their titles).
