Story
On a stormy night, Princess Peach and Toad arrive at Mario's house with a letter. When Mario opens the letter, he finds that it is actually the folded up and colorless body of another Toad. They notice that the seal on the envelope is that of Prism Island, and immediately set off. Upon arriving at the port town square, they find that it has been ransacked and the inhabitants have also been drained of color. Soon after Mario and Peach find a 3D paint can named Huey. After meeting him, they investigate a scream and find Toad's color being drained by a Shy Guy with a straw. After they defeat it and return Toad's color to normal by turning Huey into 2D, Huey notes that the Big Paint Stars from the island's fountain have disappeared, and asks that Mario find them. Mario and Huey head around the island to reclaim the missing Big Paint Stars and stop the force that is stealing its color.
Gameplay
Much of the gameplay appears to be similar to Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Much of the overworld gameplay revolves around Mario using his Paint Hammer to paint parts of the environment and characters to solve puzzles to advance. Battle gameplay revolves around painting special cards on the Wii U GamePad and flicking them at the screen to use.

Trivia
- Due to an unspecified error, in North America, pre-loading Paper Mario: Color Splash on the Nintendo eShop instead gave players full access to the game, two weeks ahead of the actual release. The pre-load was taken down soon afterward.[3]
