Nintendo Europe releases fix for PAL Super Paper Mario bug

Have you encountered the game-freezing bug in the PAL version of Nintendo’s Super Paper Mario? Fret not, since Nintendo Europe finally released a fix and offers a free game disc swap as well. Read on for more details.

Remember that glitch in the PAL version of Nintendo’s Super Paper Mario, where the game freezes once gamers speak to Mimi in Chapter 2-2? Nintendo finally managed to create a fix for it, though they came up with a slightly different solution from the language-swapping fix that was discovered earlier. Here’s how, according to Nintendo Europe‘s website:

At the start of Chapter 2-2, you will come across a character called Mimi. She will tell you to go to the farthest room on the first floor to meet a character called Merlee. Enter that room and press the green switch. A trap will be triggered, and a spiked ceiling will descend upon Mario. Before the ceiling reaches him, flip into 3D and jump on it to find a key.

If you pick up the key, you won’t run into any problems. Use it to open the locked door to Mimi’s right. However, if you talk to Mimi without picking up the key, the game will freeze. You will then have to turn off your Wii console and start again from your last save point.

Of course, Nintendo Europe still offers a free game disc swap of Super Paper Mario for those who aren’t satisfied with this fix. Nintendo will soon release the details about the game disc replacement procedure soon, so stick around with us for more updates!
