After the agonizing wait for Super Paper Mario's release in Europe, it turns out that a bug still slipped by the testing team. In Chapter 2-2, talking to Mimi before picking up a key found by triggering a trap will freeze the game if you are playing in UK English, German or Spanish. Nintendo of Europe officially announced the glitch today, and will soon begin to replace game discs for free.

Yeah, people were complaining about this 3 days ago, and still are on Gamefaqs.

Nintendo's really screwing Europe around. Who could forget that MP8 incodent?

I had completely forgotten about it until you said that.

That's funny, my brothers one works perfectly. Guess it's something to do with the Law of Averages, I suppose.

Are you serious? I don't have a Euro copy, though. Maybe there was only a number of defective copies.

Perhaps he bought it sometime after they pulled the defective copies and replaced them with the better ones.

That could also be true.

Videos of the bug are already surfacing.

Nope, he got it on the day of release (14^th September 2007).

I'm proud to be British but i know they allways make mistakes in pal games like in Mario 64 ds if you collect 5 silver stars in the level with the snowman big head and enter and exit the igloo the silver stars reapper collect another one to glitch the game!

I think that was a universal error, especially since there isn't a video mode difference between America/Japan and Europe for DSes.
