History Trivia / PaperMarioColorSplash

* FanNickname: It's not uncommon for fans to call the game derogatory terms like "''Sticker Star 2.0''", "''Sticker Star HD''", "the second coming of ''Sticker Star''" and anything similar, since the game is following on the same formula. Likewise, ''Color Trash'' or ''Colorless Trash'' are also common nicknames for the game by the more aggressive bunch, mainly because of the game's highly controversial nature as a successor to ''Sticker Star'', already a highly polarizing game on its own.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: When Nintendo made the game available to pre-load in North America, it was discovered they accidentally made the ''entire game'' available to download. This caused Nintendo to remove the pre-load option the next day.

* {{Jossed}}: A joke seen in the E3 2016 demo where a Toad comments on possibly being involved in a scandal called [[{{Scandalgate}} "Shufflegate"]] involving five other Toads called the "Five Fun Guys" lead to some people thinking this was a reference to the infamous "Gamergate" scandal that erupted in the gaming world in late 2014. [[http://kotaku.com/after-outcry-nintendo-says-paper-mario-color-splash-d-1782492966 Nintendo of America actually responded to the accusations]] by clarifying it was really a reference to the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, and the five Toads in question are a reference to ''VideoGame/MarioParty 8''.
* MisBlamed: Hoo boy, where do we begin?
** Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto is blamed for this game, even going as far as to saying that ''he should be fired for it''. While in reality, like most Mario spinoffs, Miyamoto is a supervisor at best and has no real input on what goes into ''Color Splash''.
** Risa Tabata also got a fair bit of scorn, getting the same treatment as Miyamoto above. This is mainly thanks to the infamous interview with GameXplain, where most answers were either really vague such as "I don’t know if I want to say a proper story–but we have a story" or saying that since there's VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi, there's "no need for RPG elements", which caused a massive InternetBackdraft. But in all honestly, she is is an assistant producer and not the lead developer, and thus she doesn't deserve some of the hatred she got beyond that interview.
** The game itself started development very shortly after the release of ''Sticker Star'', so by the time fans began savaging the revamped gameplay style, Intelligent Systems had put too much work into ''Color Splash'' to scrap it and start over. Of course, some would even wonder if they thought about looking at the reception that ''Sticker Star'' got before developing it further.
