Paper Mario: Color Splash is the sequel to Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the Nintendo 3DS, and while it definitely shows, it is widely considered to be far superior than its lackluster predecessor.
Known Issues
Crash after intro video
- Crash at the end of the intro video. To avoid this, go into {GameFolder}\content\movie and delete or rename the video there.
Visual glitches
- Characters do not draw properly when facing stage right.
As of Cemu 1.12.2, this issue is fixed.
Sound bugs
- BGM commonly renders a scratching noise throughout the entire game.
As of Cemu 1.11.5 the audio is working correctly!
Green fog on character renderings
- Sometimes there is green fog on character renderings, set accurateShaderMul = min on the game profile can make a workaround.
Configuration
Runs with default settings, but tweaking is recommended.

Game is playable, albeit with mild to heavy visual glitches, until the first fight with the three Shy Guys, which is impossible to get through because the battle system uses the Wii U Gamepad's touchscreen, and Cemu does not yet have a Gamepad display.

Plays with small to medium visual glitches. Press tab to view the gamepad screen, and click on the screen to use the touch screen. You can also enable off TV mode and press CTRL+Tab to permanently switch to the gamepad so that you don't have to keep switching.

The game is somewhat playable, although there are some visual glitches, such as Paper Mario and the toads appear to be silhouettes, Princess Peach appears to be yellow and surrounded by a black border, and Huey appears to be invisible in paper form. The hammer Paper Mario uses and the shy guys are also silhouettes. Every time the game loads an object, it freezes until it successfully loads it. The biggest downside is that when encountering a battle, the battle appears black, which would be harder to attack.

Intro video doesn't work. Long loading times. Smashing colourless spots doesn't look good graphics wise and more graphical glitches, not rendered textures on npcs. I've also had a few freezes when in a somewhat larger area and smashing paint all over the place.

Screechy background music and blank characters when facing right. I found that the background music can be disabled if you can make the content\sound\stream\BGM*.aac files zero length. Zero length BGM files - REMEMBER TO BACKUP THE ORIGINAL FILES.
