They are not role-playing games. Here are the features of an RPG, taken from the Wikipedia article about it: | |||
* Story and setting: The story and world are important elements of the game. | |||
* Exploration and quests: You talk to NPCs, solve their requests, get things in return that make the game easier for you, etc. | |||
* Items and inventory: You have items and/or gear that you use to be stronger, heal, defeat enemies... | |||
* Character actions and abilities: Each character has a distinct class of abilities that give them different characteristics in the field and/or in battle and/or in sidequests. | |||
* Experience and levels: Fighting gives you experience points which let you level up. | |||
* Combat: There is a distinction between field action and battle action. | |||
* Interface and graphics: You must go through menus to attack, heal, etc. | |||
Paper Mario 1 and 2 follow all of these characteristics. Super Paper Mario, being a platformer RPG, lacks the "combat" and "interface" parts but gets everything else right. Sticker Star only has the "inventory" part (because everything is a 1-use item) and the "combat" part (turn-based battles). As such, it is an action-adventure game with RPG elements, not a RPG. Color Splash is not a RPG for the same reasons. [[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] ([[User talk:Koopalmier|talk]]) 05:03, 25 August 2016 (EDT) |

Unfeaturing articlesWhile I appreciate the support vote for Shadow Mario, you need to include a reason as to why you're supporting it. Unlike regular nominations, where no support reason is necessary, denominations require you to include a valid reason. A simple "per proposer" is fine, but make sure to keep that in mind.
