Sorry, you're too late, the competition is now closed, please try again another time!
To celebrate the launch of Paper Mario: Sticker Star we've teamed up with Nintendo to bring you a very special Letter Box competition. Up for grabs is a brand new 3DS XL Console with a copy of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, wahoo! Two runners up will also receive a copy of the game; this is for UK residents only.
To win, all you have to do is send us a creative Nintendo Letter Box message from your 3DS; it should be related to Paper Mario and can be as simple as a sketch, or as much as a four page comic strip. It's all about being creative and witty, with the most entertaining letters likely to catch our eye. To enter simply fill in the form and submit your 3DS friend code, and if you are one of the first 100 entrants we'll then email you our contest friend code. You'll have to enter our friend code, pair up with our system and send your letter within 24 hours of us emailing you; if you take too long we'll give your slot to the next entrant in line. Once we receive your letter we'll reply to confirm that you've been accepted in the competition. After that you can submit as many attempts as you like until Wednesday, 5th December, though only your final letter will be considered. The winners will be announced on Friday, 7th December.
Please Note: we can only accept 100 entries, this is on a first come, first served basis.
About The Game

Europe is the same region as UK, so why not EU-wide?

Tymek said:
@3Dash What?
@SanderEvers You are right.
#16
Dazza said:
@SanderEvers Nintendo UK are supplying the prizes on this occasion, so it is their decision where they would like to send the prizes.
We do run competitions for Europe, North America and beyond every now and then. You guys will get your chance another time

#21
Banker-Style said:
Good luck fellow Brits.
#22
3Dash said:
@Tymek Region-locked means if you put a cartridge froom UK into your North American or wherever you are's 3DS your 3DS won't play it... unless you have a UK 3DS.

dynamikas said:
why only uk???
#24
Tymek said:
@3Dash I know what it means, I mean, isn't an UK 3DS an an EU 3DS aswell?
#25
SheldonRandoms said:
@Tymek I went to Gamestop and bought it, and I also have a 3DS
#26
Late said:
@3Dash: He/She lives in Netherlands (at least according to his/her profile) which is part of Europe so UK games work on his/her 3DS.

Here's hoping I'm actually in the first 100 entrants!!

PixelatedPixie said:
I entered my 3DS friend code into the box above, but the article suggests there was a form I was supposed to fill in? Did I miss something?
I also got a message stating 'Thanks for entering! Your entry has been counted. Please wait until we reveal the winner.' So I assume I've been accepted as one of the 100 participants.

3DS_excel said:
I've submitted my friend code, do I wait for an email or something now?
#73
Dazza said:
@3DS_excel yup, just wait for our email. So far everyone who has entered from the UK will have a place in the comp. We haven't sent out any emails with our friend code yet.
There are about 20 places left, so be sure to submit your friends code today if you are a UK resident
#74
RpgN said:
Luckily my BF lives in the UK, I'll get it delivered to him if I win anything.
Hopefully I'm part of those 20 left!
#75
3DS_excel said:
Thanks for the reply Dazza
#76
RpgN said:
''To enter simply fill in the form and submit your 3DS friend code, and if you are one of the first 100 entrants we'll then email you our contest friend code.''
I didn't see any form, only asked to log in and enter my friend code, is that right?
#77
Tsuchiya said:
@RpgN
It says in your profile that you're from the Netherlands correct? It's UK only so if your BF is from the UK get him to enter as I'm not sure you yourself can.
Unless of course you live in the UK with him in which case, shut up Tsuchi
#78
Dazza said:
@RpgN - the bit where you enter your friend code is all you need to do to enter. As the competition explains, we are only accepting entries from UK residents. Our system can detect the region by IP Address when someone enters the competition, so only readers based in the UK will be eligible to enter. Someone in the Netherlands cannot enter the competition and pass on the prize.
There are about 15 places left now
#79
ScreenSplitter said:
Just entered, Paper Mario is something I'd have trouble blowing £40 on, so a free copy would be lush. The bigger screens of the XL would be uber sexy too...
EDIT: It's actually nice for a change to get a UK based competition, loads of the big gaming journo sites always stick exclusively with NA for competitions.
#80
Nanoline said:
Not in the UK, but wouldn't enter anyways. This game was just too disappointing for me, and way too indicative of Nintendo's recent shenanigans.
#81
SaintDynamite said:
Never entered a Nintendo Life competition before, so hopefully I got in just in time!
#82
ScreenSplitter said:
@Dazza
Question, does the entry have to be a Swapnote based drawing, or can we draw something in Colors 3D then put it into the Swapnote message?
#83
Tymek said:
Atleast I'm currently in a contest to win a Yellow Pikachu 3DS XL!!!
#84
Mahary said:
Good Luck UK residents!
#85
Tsuchiya said:
@ScreenSplitter
"To win, all you have to do is send us a creative Nintendo Letter Box message from your 3DS"
Since Colors! 3D isn't mentioned anywhere, then I'll go with no. I believe it's just a letter (upto 4 pages) than must be submitted by those who have the NL FC sent via email.
It's amazing. People asking what to do when it's explained at the top of the article you're commenting on! If you entered it in time, then best of luck
#86
ScreenSplitter said:
@Tsuchiya
You can send pictures, and in turn Colors 3D pictures created through Nintendo Letter Box. It really is amazing people wanting to know the terms of a contest they're entering...?
#87
Tsuchiya said:
@ScreenSplitter
I know you can but it's not mentioned here in the competition requirements.
It states the word letter so I'm sure they mean just that. If NL wanted Colors!3D entries then presumably they would say so but maybe they could clarify this.
#88
Dazza said:
@ScreenSplitter we'd rather have submissions created 100% using Nintendo Letter Box. You should be able to show off your creativity without the need for other apps
There are still a few places in the comp left if anyone in the UK hasn't entered yet.
#89
Summer said:
I just entered now.

ScreenSplitter said:
@Dazza
Ah fair enough. Remind me again how you unlock features for Nintendo Letter Box... play coins right? I'll practice tonight and get walking tomorrow to unlock colors!

WHY NINTENDO! WHY WITH THE REGION LOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heard that? That's the sound of my broken heart on the distance.
Good luck everyone!

@Tsuchiya
@Dazza
Thanks for clearing things up. That's a huge bummer but there might be other opportunities next time. Good luck to all the UK residents!
#95
shinesprite said:
UK only. . . UH, too bad.
#96
LzQuacker said:
Uh, why is everyone complaining about region locking? You still can't enter the contest even if you had a region-free 3DS. Region locking doesn't change anything in this contest
#97
OshawottArtist said:
Really? why not make it world wide. like all the way to Puerto Rico? My irish cousins will probably send it to me if they win. I HAS A REGION FREE 3DS
#98
w00kash said:
Uhm, has anyone actually received the email with the friend code yet?
#99
P184 said:
Nope, still waiting. At first I lamented a fact that they didn't state when they'd send you letters but given that they had no idea at the start when they'd reach 100 entrants and thus, presumably, start sending the letters out, i guess that was rather tricky.
Ah well, remain patient. I'm sure they haven't forgotten. =)

Nazz said:
How much longer until we get that email?

@Nazz Now!

Do you plan on showcasing the winning entries on the site?
#104
PixelatedPixie said:
I was wondering the same thing. The not knowing is the hard part, lol.
#105
BlockPunch said:
@PixelatedPixie Exactly! Plus, I'd really like to see some other peoples ideas.
#106
BlockPunch said:
Oh, and if I haven't won, I wonna know so I can pick up the game ASAP.
#107
PixelatedPixie said:
@BlockPunch - Yeah same here. At this point I can assume I wasn't amongst the top 3 as I did not receive an email yesterday, so I'm going to go ahead and order my copy today. It's a shame there wasn't a more elegant way for participants to find out whether or not they won something.
