The shading can work if you prefer that, it's not a huge deal for me; it is your project after all.
In terms of voices, I am personally very fond of Mario's lack of dialogue. Little words or phrases are fine ("let's-a-go!", "mama-mia!", etc) and give him character, but actual conversations seem a bit weird. I liked how he tends to have picture bubbles in the M&L series. But again, if you prefer giving him a voice that's OK, I'm sure it can work.
As for shading, they should probably stay the same. First off because it's paper; I assume that this is still flat paper, and that shading is more of a drawing on it rather than an actual 3D feature of the object. Second, having to re-shade him for every kind of rotation and mirroring would be way too much work.
Maybe the name could make a nice connection between the fact that it's a story, and that books are made out of paper. Perhaps "Paper Mario: The Lost Pages".
