I defeated the Anti Guy unit in Bowser’s castle without taking ANY damage!!!!

I have. Sounds Impossible but it’s not. This is what I did:

Packed around 4 repel gels

Just kept using Power Quake and Kooper’s Power Shell and Fire Shell (Parakarry’s Air Raid or Sushie’s Tidal Wave works too, don’t use Bombette as she’s not FP efficient)

Then apply repel gel again when it wears off and keep spamming Power Quake and either Power Shell or Fire Shell

Community For TOK Fans!

Hey everyone, so I did a thing and created a discord for Paper Mario: The Origami King, a game that came out over 4 years ago! How fun! Hoping this one stays mildly active.

https://discord.gg/3AT7bdqr.

General opinions about PMTOK aside I am probably the least sane about this game considering I once wrote a 100,000+ word story combining its lore with Super Paper Mario's and also replayed the final battle around 6 times for research. I might be cringe, but at least I am free.

Who would Voice TTYD cast?

I need help. I am working on a Xenoblade 3 and Thousand Year Door crossover fanfic, and asked if anyone know of good VA's I can use for Starlow, Prince Dreambert and the partners of TTYD. I am also trying to figure classes, roles, arts and chain attacks for Mario, Luigi, and their partners. Does anyone have any suggestions? Shoutouts will be given in my fanfictions I am currently working on.

I don't believe TTYD is the best Paper Mario.

That would go to 64 for me.

Before I proceed, I'd like to say I still think TTYD is excellent, just a little overrated on the internet. Up until last year, I had beaten every PM but TTYD (yes, even Sticker Star), but I finally got the chance to play it thanks to the remake. I am NOT saying 64 is a better game, I'm simply explaining why I personally don't understand all the praise TTYD recieves. I'm fully ready to offend everyone with my opinion :).

For years I've been seeing people talk about how TTYD is "objectively" the best Paper Mario, or even the greatest Mario RPG, and how it does everything that 64 does but better. I completley disagree with this.

Let's start off with the most common thing I see people say TTYD does better, the combat. At its core, TTYD does have a much more complex and deep combat system. My issue with it is that I don't believe it's used to its full potential at all. TTYD is a very easy game, so easy to the point that I used the same few couple of moves for almost every boss in the game (power lift + jump attacks). Now 64 is definitley not a hard game by any means, but I definitley feel like the difficulty progression was much more natural, and overall provided a more challenging experience that allowed for more strategic thinking with the partners and everything. TTYD is beyond easy for the first like 6 chapters, and then randomly picks up a little at the end. I will praise >!Shadow Queen and Prince Mush !<though, but I do wish there was more of a natural increase in difficulty prior to those bosses. This could definitley be a more personal thing though, especially considering this was the final PM game I played out of the 6.

Next, the game's atmosphere and world. This is obviously a more personal thing, but I prefer the world and ESPECIALLY the atmosphere of 64. TTYD has a much more unique and original world compared to the more generic themes of 64, but tbh I prefer 64 for this one. My favorite part of Mario RPG's is how they bring the mushroom kingdom to life, so seeing 64's take on my favorite video game world of all time was amazing, which obviously I didn't get from TTYD, as that game takes place in a completley different feeling and more depressin world. Again, this is obviously complete personal preference, I just don't agree with the people who say "more unique and original is better." Now the atmosphere... I've already made a post talking about how special 64's atmosphere is to me if you wanna read about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/papermario/comments/1d6wrwp/the_atmoshpere_of_paper_mario_64/

Next, I'd like to talk about is the level design. I'm sorry, but some of TTYD's level design is awful. The game is filled with rooms that are just straight lines, as well as mindless, pointless, backtracking. The biggest standouts to me are Chapter 4, which has you run back and forth on the same long and boring path multiple times, Chapter 6, which has like 70% of it take place on a train that has no battles or combat, and an absurd amount of backtracking, and finally, Chapter 3... the one everyone seems to think is the greatest one in the series... Well I'm about to criticize it. Before you downvote me if you haven't already, hear me out at least. I think Chapter 3 is excellent when it comes to its story and world and everything, but I'm sorry, the gameplay is awful. To progress, you have to play through 20 long and boring battles, with the same diologue and cutscenes at the start and end of every match. I love the parts in between where you try to solve the Chapter's mystery, but it felt like a good 80% of the chapter was just mindless battles. 64's "worst" chapter, 6, is crapped on for it's backtracking, but imo, the backtracking in TTYD was way worse than anything Chapter 6 had.

Now before I finish writing, I would like to say I enjoyed the story of TTYD much more, and it was definitley my favorite part of the game. That's an aspect TTYD 100% surpassed 64 in for me.

If you read this entire thing, I thank you for listening to me yap about my controversial opinions about my favorite series ever :)

New Rom Hack of TTYD

I want to make a hard mode of TTYD but I want to hear any suggestions for additions to make it harder, here are some I’ve come up with so far

  1. Bosses that lore-wise have crystal stars use said crystal star in their battle. E.g: Lord Crump takes the C.S for Clock-Out, so when you battle Magnus Von Grapple he can use Clock-Out.

What’s your favorite section of paper Mario 64?

I played it for Nintendo switch, loved the ice/shiver area. I was only 11 or 10 at the time and beat the whole game.

Why do people hat color splash?

I love paper mario color splash but most people do not like the game whn I think it is one of the betters ones im sorry but i dont really like super paper mario as most people do i still like it but its wierd that fans of paper mario like super paper mario its a different genera i do like the characters but its not always the best at times and i dont like your companion in the game BUT mr. L is very cool anyway i also not as fond of the N64 paper mario its just kinda outdated for me but i do like he pixel style its very charming

and in general paper mario himself has always been fonding and in color splash he seems to be at his most charming (i have not played the thousand year door yet im sure hes good in that one too) but it seems that everyone hates on sticker star and color splash together i also dont hate sticker star or origami king there both a okay games but color splash is great it does have flaws like the whole things thing with you having to get the things do kill the bosses but i really like the characters like the toads people complain that there generic but i stilll like them do give them personality i give them different voices reds are the screamy sunshine voice blues are the like "top ten scariest secrets in luigis mansion number 15 luigi is dead the whole game" yelows are the cool radical sonic like voices greens are the british boys in christmas movies "why its christmas eve" guy and purples are like the sterotypical gays anyway enough toads

huey is great also its sad when he dies YOU CLICKED THE SPOILER WARNIG so i can spoil the thing kooplings are great i like them in paper form also the plot is funny if you are playing the game wih friends high or drunk bowser becomes black and sucks toads white and thows the magic paint starbursts in the sky and leaves anyway the combat i like its very hated its not te worst i also think its funny when the main red toads gets sucked in the intr he hands you his epic radical yugio card deck and fricken dies like golly gee govner its scary how th weh wah shy guys suck people and remove their color but anyway this is long but i have a uestion to ask YOU my radical lad DO YOU LIKE PAPER MARIO COLOR SPLASH and if you dont its fine.

Did you used the nostalgic tunes for the entire game after you got it?

I never used it because I personally prefer the rearranged soundtracks to fit the modern feel of the game, but how about yours?
