What handheld console was Paper Mario: Sticker Star released for?

The story behind the answer

Paper Mario: Sticker Star was released for the Nintendo 3DS.

Developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, Sticker Star was the fourth main installment in the Paper Mario series. It was also the first Paper Mario game released for a handheld console, following the home-console releases on Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Wii.

The game centers on Mario and Kersti, a sticker fairy, as they search for six Royal Stickers scattered across the Mushroom Kingdom. Stickers serve as attacks, items, and puzzle tools, and most disappear after one use, encouraging players to keep collecting them.

Sticker Star is often remembered for changing the series’ role-playing formula. It removed experience points and permanent party members, while placing greater emphasis on disposable stickers and a world-map structure designed for shorter play sessions. It launched in North America in November 2012, followed by other regions in December.
