[edit] Storyline
Paper Mario: Sticker Star starts off on the night of the annual holiday, the Sticker Fest. During this holiday, the citizens would come to gather to watch the Sticker Coment shoot across the sky. It has been said that the Sticker Comet makes wishes come true. Princess Peach, on stage, would show to the audience the comet as it floats down to the scene before suddenly, Bowser and his troops appear and crash the festivities. Bowser would take it for his own, while the Goombas and Koopas Troopas cheer. Three Toads would try to pull Bowser away but instead had have him crash into the Sticker Comet and break it into six pieces and scatter across the Mushroom Kingdom. One piece of it would fall onto Bowser's head and cause him to be even more powerful and unleash a tornado that scares away the Toads. Mario, tries to attack him but is simply overpowered and wakes up with the Sticker Fest in complete disaster. Toads are stuck to Bowser stickers and Princess Peach is missing. Mario would meet Kersti when he regains consciousness. Kersti is a sticker fairy and the caretaker to the Royal Stickers. She at first, blames Mario for touching the Sticker Comet and the destruction of the Sticker Fest. Mario tries to explain that it was Bowser who touched it, but she would see this as a cowardly excuse at first. Mario offers to help Kersti get the Royal Stickers back, to which she agrees. Mario will now have to retrieve the 6 Royal Stickers that have been scattered across the land and rescue Princess Peach and the Toads from Bowser.
