Book of Mario: Splashes of Color is the fifth game in the Book of Mario
series. It is a poorly translated hack of Paper Mario: Color Splash, released in 2016 for the Wii U. Unlike two original hacks, it isn't created or played by Fatguy703, rather by a Russian Book of Mario fan known as Vyo2003 on this wiki. The game was announced with screenshot of an options menu, while some more screenshots and quotes were later shared on Reddit and Hack's Discord before the start of streaming.

Streaming started on Thursday, May 28, 2020 on YouTube channel Val Och, with (both finished and upcoming) streams going into separate playlist for the ease of search. Because of technical complications of patching Wii U and streaming from it, Cemu emulator is used for streams, resulting in appearance of some graphical and sound glitches.

As for now, game have been completely streamed. Versions of streams that cut unimportant gameplay yet preserve all text are currently work-in-progress and available in yet another playlist. Also, WIP plot summary by hack's author is in works there.

## Main characters

* Mario - player character. As noted by Peach, he seems to not be possessed anymore.
* Princess of Peaches (now referred to as Princess Petch) appears once again. They seems to have warmed up to Mario a little bit, but proceeds to give him wrinkles, although those appear to heal him. They also admit to be a bi. After Mario gets first Photo Star they kidnap God Browser, greatly upsetting all of the Toads, who insist on Mario to rescue him.
* Hei - The sentient paint can with a personality that is all over the place. While being somewhat bossy (up to the point of ordering Princess of Peaches go and complete the adventure themselves), it seems to regret getting involved in the war after joining Mario. While introduced as "Huey" by game, it insists to be called Hei, saying that it is a great pleasure for it to be called this way. Its exact gender and alignment remain unclear.
* God Browser (now referred to as just Bowser) - appears to be sponsoring illegal activities (like stealing airships from delivery companies), but his exact reasoning and plans are currently unclear. As noted above, Petch captures him.
