Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M.
preview
By: toodles_team
Join Bowser on a crazy adventure spanning over five worlds! The X-Nauts have returned, and under the leadership of their new ruler, Lord W, they have captured Princess Peach! Now it's up to Bowser to rescue to her! This exciting Paper Mario inspired platformer features over 20 unique levels and more humor than ever before!

Surprised to see it finished? Well, I really didn't want to see all that work I had done go to waste, especially since I had quite a lot more done than what was shown in the first demo, so I spent about two months and finished it up! Enjoy!

(NOTE: You'll need to have the font "Hey Gorgeous" installed on your computer for the in-game text to display right. If you don't have this font already, it's included in the zip.)
Completion: Full Game Genre: Platform
Franchise: Mario

Update History
02/08/08  I re-did the way Bowser gets hurt so he no longer bounces around. ;)
01/29/08  The old version was (I'm not kidding!) missing levels. Anyway, it's updated with everything in place.

Author Summary Score
steffire The numbers don't add up because this game deserves a higher score for it's adorable comedy which really should be a category of it's own to rate games of this kind. 8 / 10
onpon4 This game is a massive improvement over Paper Bowser World, but it's still just "OK". Worth checking out, but not particularly amazing. 6 / 10
Joey Apples As a game on its own, Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M. delivers fun platforming mechanics and a sensationally funny script. Unfortunately, there's really no avoiding comparisons to the first game, and in that area, this sequel comes off as a tiny bit of a letdown. 8 / 10
YoungLink (This review is spoiler-free to my knowledge)
Good game if you are seeking humour. I suggest anyone not looking for pure games, can read English and can generally run Windows executable try it!
10 / 10
Dim_Yimma_H The angry humor is funny and uses a mild language, so it's easy to like. The game play is straight-forward with an easy control that has one drawback, the slow running. Make sure to enjoy the water world, because it has one of the best swimming controls I've seen in a Mario game. 6 / 10
Alba Garcia Clerigues This game is a continuation of Paper Bowser World, it has got more action and it is funnier than its previous game. 8 / 10
ShadowLuigi64 Oh! I remembered now! I was gonna tell you the password for world 5 but I changed my mind. Too bad. Oh well. Toodles Team has made another Masterpiece that will keep you on the computer for... hmm... about 3 hours for the game. Replay will keep you on for... 2 months. Good luck getting off this game. Now for my signature speech for good games, Click the Download/View button. What are you waiting for? 10 / 10
Lockout YAAY PBW 2! :D 10 / 10
Mylverous A sequel to a classic, but does not feel the same. 7 / 10
Giga Gamer Although the first time through is absolutely stunning, you probably won't play this again. Still, it's a great thing to try once. Final score is a... 7 / 10
Papero A great re-creation of the PM2 Bowser Levels. Play it, please. 9 / 10
Hatman You'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you played through this at least once! 8 / 10
mamaluigi Paper Bowser : Operation G.R.O.M is better than the original, but still has the flaws. 7 / 10
Zero Kirby It's good! Wait... we're checking the instant replay... ooooh! That's gonna set them back pretty bad, Tim. 6 / 10
Carl Definitely a game worth playing. Stepping outside the fangame box to produce a Bowser themed game is worth a download in itself. Other than that, the gameplay fun and easy to get the hang of. 9 / 10
Hyper Kirby Fan A mediocre sequel to a great fangame. 5 / 10
Pucifur G.R.O.M. will charm you with its beauty and then give you an ice bath. Fun may turn into frustration as the gameplay becomes tiresome and the graphics get progressivly lazier. Play PBW once through and try to enjoy it for all it's worth. 7 / 10
Nad This is a masterpiece of MFGG. So play it, and enjoy it, for you're never gonna find something quite like this at MFGG. Or anywhere, for that matter. 9 / 10
Average Score 7.8 / 10

You can thank mr.mario (actually I think his name is mr.luigi on here) for that one. It was his idea.

Okay:

1. More exact? What do you mean by that?
2. Bowser flies through the air when he's hit.

Also, Final Boss=Hard.

That he mean is the air enemies is way to hard to beat becuase the time when you are invinsible end before you land to the ground and then can the enemie hurt you before you land to the ground and like this can it go on and on, i have the same problem act0ually this make water level relly hard.

PS:When i first speak about cons dose i just want to come up with i miss the pause button, if you ever update this something as you probably never do but if dose i just want than pause button.

Theres an annoying glitch in the water, if you get hurt above a pit you plummet downwards helplessly and die instantly -_-

That's not a glitch, that was the point. If you swim more towards the top of the water, there's more time to recover, and you won't lose. Also, Bowser's fire breath is your best friend in the water levels.

I think that's just Bowser bouncing off the ceiling. ;) But that's what makes World 3 hard in a lot of places. :)

Also, great game! I beat it! Though there's a minus world? lol, sweet! I wonder if I'll ever find it... :(

Worst Game Over, eh? I'll remember to make the Game Over better next time. ;) Yeah, I know. That was really corny. The humor in the game is a lot better.

Sorry. That last boss is too hrd for me.

I consider a game bad if I can't beat it.

But besides that, it's a great game! I give it a 0 that I can't best it but a 10 of everything else!

Do you realize how little sense you just made? There is no 0/10 rating, the scale starts at 1, and you can't rate it twice. And judging a game as being bad because YOU can't beat it proves you're a self-obsessed noob, there's several games I'm not skilled enough to beat but I don't go around giving them idiotic bad reviews/scored comments because I can't beat them.
