General Commentary and Game Overview
Finally, we are able to play the last installment of Toodles "Paper Bowser World series". For the people who liked the first game, Paper Bowser World 3 is a nice surprise. But people who liked the switch-levels of the second game, will be disappointed.
 
Pros - New, self-made and beautifull graphics
- New clown-car levels
- Humor and story
- Music and sound-effects
- Looks very professional
 
Cons - Some little glitches
- Practically only grass and snow world's
- A little bit short
- Practically no boss battles
- Looks maybe to much on the original game
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
The story is really funny whit a lot of humor. It is the perfect end for this story. The plot is a predictable but still very nice.

The gamplay itself didn't change a lot since the first game. You can jump, walk , spit fire and perform a groundpound and you grow when you eat meat. One of the best gameplaymoments is when you eat a Mega Meat. You will grow and grow and grow and you will be able to destroy everything on your path. It is actually a sort of Mega Mushroom for Koopakings.

The leveldesign is Ok but I think that there aren't enough different environments. The grass and snow worlds look beautifull but it had been nice if there were also some other types like a dessert. One of the best and new additions in the game is of course the clowncar but these are also the most difficult parts because when you touch an enemy you will die immediately.

There was however one big dissapointment in this game. The lack of real bosses. I understand that making an creating bosses is one of the more difficult things but for example the final boss wasn't worth the name final boss. Maybe it is part of the humor of the game but it had been nice if there were more real and difficult bosses instead of a boss that you can kill with one little hit.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
The graphics look all very good and are all custom made. They are inspired by the new "Paper Mario 3DS" game and I have to say that Toodles really managed to make them look like this game. The enemies and Bowser are beautifull and the cutscenes are perfectly made and really nice to look at.
 
Sound
9 / 10
All the sounds are from Paper Mario 2 ( and maybe edited ) which is not a bad thing. We heard already a lot of the sounds in the previous games, but there is also place for some new ones. The sound fits perfectly in the game and it is a real relief to hear something else than those stupid smw and smb3 sounds.
 
Replay
7 / 10
The replay is not so high but everyone will certainly like the secret surprise when they collect a certain amount of coins.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
An epic end for an epic serie.

Yeah, bosses are really not my thing. I don't like playing boss battles nor do I like programming them. The first game didn't have bosses either, and the only boss in the second game I actually liked was Uber-Blooper, who isn't a boss at all but pretty much just an interactive cutscene.

I knew leaving out bosses would not be well-received, but it seemed like the better option over shoehorning some half-baked bosses in instead.

Thank you for the review!
