Super Paper Mario just might be one of those rare cases where the American box art is actually superior to the Japanese design. Not that the Japanese cover is bad by any means but the US art is a bit more cohesive and decidely less...yellow. The US cover also incorporates the "into-the-screen" 3D aspect of the game into its design, which is a nice touch.
I do like the strange fellow peeking out from the flap in the corner of the Japanese cover though...
I also find it interesting that every character on the Japanese cover, including the butterfly, is facing the opposite direction on the US cover. It's like whoever was in charge of the US box art had to make it as different from the Japanese cover as possible.
