Glitch Discovered in European Version of Super Paper Mario

European gamers may meet with a game-freezing glitch. Nintendo of Europe is offering an exchange.

European gamers may want to avoid a certain gameplay situation in Super Paper Mario if they want to avoid a game freeze.

In Chapter 2-2, a character named Mimi will tell you to go and meet another character named Merlee. Enter that room, press the green switch, and a spiked ceiling will drop over Mario's head. If you flip to 3D, you can avoid the iron maiden and find a key. If you pick up the key, then use it to open the locked door near Mimi, you will avoid the glitch. However, should you fail to pick up the key, then talk to Mimi without it, your game will freeze.

Frozen Wiis will have to be restarted from your last save point, of course, meaning tedious redos. Just to be absolutely clear, this glitch is only present in the British, Spanish, and German versions of Super Paper Mario.

Nintendo of Europe is offering a free disk replacement to fix the error.

So does that mean us Aussies get it too, seeing as we're playing the European version?

Also, they delay it for how many months and they botch it in the process. Nice work NOE -_-

On top of that, they still don't do the translation properly.

Humor, tumor and color. ALL WRONG. Especially when the translation team is here?

I thought Mimi rotating her head was a glitch. I nearly crapped my pants, it was so scary. Didn't see that coming in a Mario game at all.
