in most, but not all gacha games, it depends on the developer while physical duplicates luckily don't have that limitation. Nintendo Life’s resident horror fanatic, when he’s not knee-deep in Resident Evil and Silent Hill lore, Ollie likes to dive into a good horror book while nursing a lovely cup of tea.

Completely agree about sticker albums being enjoyable enough regardless of the completion degree, I didn't complete many if at all as a kid and still quite enjoyed them! It might have been one of the many, many football albums released on an annual basis, or perhaps something like Star Wars or The Beano.

The parallel stickers carry exactly the same number and image as the regular versions, so they’re not needed to complete the collection, but they can still be stuck in the album: it’s up to you to decide which variant of the sticker you want to stick on the pages. This is likely why all kinds of multiplayer in games and activities (physical like albums or digital like Topps) retain popularity to this day, warts and all. I realize now that it was exploiting children — or, more accurately, their parent’s wallets — using psychological manipulation. Even the empty sticker slots aren't overly conspicuous - instead of some cut-in boxes, they're usually just thin frames printed over the general page background (but naturally placed so as not to obscure anything important once you put the respective sticker on).

and I simply wanted to point it out as a big positive of that which might, and in my opinion it does, outweigh the negatives of these practices. I don’t know, but it sickens me to see these exploitative practices continue to scam people to this day.Socializing fun was never a make-or-break factor for me, but it should indeed be an undeniable boon for those who value it more. Will definitely consider it, loved sticker books when I was a child (I'm pretty sure I owned more than one Pokémon ones back then) and it should be relatively easy to find here in Italy considering it's Panini! Maybe they had more friends than me, or had parents with deep pockets, so that they actually got a full set? There are 64 white frame stickers in the collection, and in some lucky packets they can be found in a cool parallel variant. Of course, it goes without saying that this is very much intended for younger Super Mario enthusiasts, but there's just something inherently satisfying about popping a stick into an album with pinpoint accuracy.

All I wanted was a full set, but even with trading with friends, it wasn’t something I could achieve. Ideal for Super Mario fans of all ages, this full-color activity book featuring Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and all their friends from the Mushroom Kingdom of the classic Nintendo video game contains more than 800 stickers. Panini dominates the sports card market here in the states now I wish they'd try the stickers before my kids get too old.However, only the regular white frame version of the stickers can be requested to Panini’s Missing Sticker Service. EDIT: forgot to add that, in all fairness, the aforementioned Topps apps also allow you a variety of conversion options for the duplicate cards you can't trade off.
