Super Paper Mario Bug

If you live in the U.K. and if you own or plan to buy Super Paper Mario, then you should take note of this news.

Nintendo has released information that this Mario game contains an error which crashes the game. If users encountered this error, then they need to restart their system and continue from the last save point. The error will not damage users’ consoles though.

They are currently setting up a replacement program where Wii gamers can exchange their game for a fixed version. It will be announced soon on their European website.

This is the description according to the article at next-gen.biz:

“At the start of Chapter 2-2, you will come across a character called Mimi. She will tell you to go to the farthest room on the first floor to meet a character called Merlee. Enter that room and press the green switch. A trap will be triggered, and a spiked ceiling will descend upon Mario. Before the ceiling reaches him, flip into 3D and jump on it to find a key.

“If you pick up the key, you won’t run into any problems. Use it to open the locked door to Mimi’s right. However, if you talk to Mimi without picking up the key, the game will freeze. You will then have to turn off your Wii console and start again from your last save point.

“We hope this problem doesn’t stop you from enjoying Super Paper Mario and would once again like to apologize for any inconvenience caused,” said Nintendo.
