The aesthetic of this game abides by the title "Paper Mario" Everything in this games looks is related to paper in some way like the characters for the most part are made of paper and they have the properties of paper. The colours of the areas and the characters vary on where in the game the player is in. In the area "Petal Meadows" the colours and the characters are bright and colourful and this is the same for the enemies in that area also. Although in a later area called "Twilight Town" the colours are dark and spooky to fit with the boss of the area which is a ghost. I think that the overall theme of the game is bright and happy. The font used in the game's text boxes is very loose and curved and a lot of emotion is shown with the text as it can move and be different sizes to fit the tone it is said in.
Construction of Content:
