    I could never get into this one as easily as The Thousand-Year Door. I dunno if there's something wrong with my console or what, but the timing for jumps never clicked for me. Always felt like I needed to press A like half a second before Mario even touches the enemy, whereas in The Thousand-Year Door you do it immediately when his foot makes contact.

      64 runs at 30 fps and TTYD runs at 60 fps, so that's probably why the timing was improved.

      The issues with any and all timed hits games prior to M&L Superstar Saga were
      >lack of strong feedback for correct timing
      >timing that is almost always later visually than what the player is expecting it to be
      Superstar Saga solved both of these by
      >making every correct timed input have over-exaggerated screen shake/sfx/animations to drive home the fact that you did it correctly
      >adjusting the timing windows to be slightly wider and start sooner in the animation cycles since people tend to want to press a button during the late part of an animation's wind-up as opposed to precisely when an action is taking place

        > feels more like an adventure
        i'd argue the opposite, and its the main reason I prefer 64 over TTYD. It might sound a little silly, but in TTYD you keep taking warp pipes or a boat or whatever to another place, you never actually *walk* somewhere. It feels more like a collection of levels. In 64 this wasnt the case as much and its really the one that feels like an adventure imo.

          TTYD makes you visit a lot more places and you only use pipes to get back into a level, the first time you get into each one you have to go through a specific sequence with the exception of chapter 4 where the pipe itself is special. You don't do much on foot but that's because Mario actually travels, TTYD feels a lot like Tintin to be honest.

        TTYD also has far bigger lows. 64 has maybe Flower Fields if you don't know what you're doing. TTYD has many full chapters that start off fine, then you play the game more than once.

          They ruined mario's design in TTYD, turned him into a bean-shaped weirdo. Toads looked better in 64. Point for 64.
          Also no spindash in TTYD. Mario moves so slowly in TTYD. Point for 64.
          64 had better Peach interludes. TTYD's sucked, and the only good one was copied from 64 (the cloning x-naut one). TTYD also has a troony partner.
          TTYD has better battles and side content, although evne the battles is debatable. Partners are meat shields, so you don't ever have to heal them, you can just swap them out for a new, fully healed one. You have superguarding, overpowered special moves. the game is way too easy, yes, even by Paper Mario standards.

      It's one of those games that is fricking fantastic on a first playthrough. Especially if you're coming off the heels of PM64, it's almost exactly everything you're looking for in a sequel and it's all incredibly novel. However, the same things that make it novel, the same parts of it that make it really stand out from 64 are the same reason it is NOT good on a replay. Game's definitely worth playing through, but keeping it to one is the smart thing to do.

    People will say 64 is more "comfy" as if that even means anything, what they really mean is 64 is way more lukewarm and mundane compared to the grandiose and boisterous scenarios and writing of TTYD, and this is somehow supposed to be a good thing for an RPG.

      It’s comfy in that it feels like an adventure in Mario’s backyard, to me it’s the most actualized Mushroom Kingdom we’ve ever seen. It isn’t just 8 levels of grassland then suddenly desert, we take a train from the town surrounding the castle to reach a desert with shady desert people and a mysterious pyramid to explore. No other Mario RPG takes place in a Mushroom kingdom that feels as alive as this, at least to me. Something about SMRPG and Bowser’s Inside Story constantly remind me that I’m playing a video game where in Paper Mario I’m able to forget.

        I do appreciate how seamless it is, and some of the small decisions are neat. My favorite example, the only time the game actually points you towards the sewers, that being Chapter 7, is after you've gotten everything for traversal. You can just entirely ignore the Toad Town Sewers until that point with zero consequence, and when you are presented to go there you can clean it all up right then and there and treat it as its own mini dungeon. Stuff like that is so cool.

    that people keep repeating ttyd is better is really frustrating because it's so so bald facedly false

    chapters are worse on average in terms of level and enemy design
    the gorgeous style for backgrounds in 64 gave way to this newer sterile style
    soundtrack is good but not as good as 64

    ill concede things like ttyd having a more interesting scenario and standouts like rogueport and it's sewer system are superior to toad town. palace of shadow is also superior to bowsers castle. but pretty much every other part of ttyd is even or worse compared to 64.

          Hey, I’m not disagreeing, definitely prefer 64 and a hard battle, just from what I’ve seen the popularity of TTYD as well as the 64 Modding scene seems to be an emphasis on busted combos if you know how to cheese the engine.

      See, I don't agree with this. Toad Tower > Rogueport and the sewers in 64 are underrated, they were great. Having fast access to all the levels was done first in 64, and it was great. Points for TTYD having the pit of 100 trials available as early as chapter 1, though. Speaking of which, has anyone ITT done it before hooktail?

      trivializing an already trivial game doesn't matter. People like ttyd's battle system because it's more interesting, stylish, and you press more buttons. Superguard being busted for the few that get it every single time or being able to tank with partners enhances most people's enjoyment of the game. 64 being slightly, and I mean very slightly, more difficult doesn't matter

        It's not slightly more difficult, it's quite a bit more difficult. Not a single hard boss in TTYD, no not evne Bonetail or Shadow Queen. 64 has huff n puff, Bowser 3, Master 2 and 3, Kent C. Koopa.

          I can't quite remember the difficulty of those vanilla bosses but I'm certain that I effortlessly power bounced them all to death

          if i can stylish every move and superguard on defense every time i will and it will make the game less interesting objectively.
          i no longer have to make choice like using appeal to gain star power to perform x action next turn because of stylish. part of a good turn based RPG is managing resources and if i have the option to avoid damage with the right reactions that removes that aspect of fun from the game. the game becomes more like an action game with every additional means of avoiding damage through reactions.

          its antithetical to the genre. id go that far. its the principles of the genre and you're desecrating them. ttyd is a poor turn based video game.

          if you can actually superguard every time then the game wouldn't have every challenged you anyway. Stylish gets you less than half of what appeal does so it's still a meaningful tradeoff. Paper mario and even smrpg always gave you the option to stomp the game if your execution got good enough through infinite bounces. TTYD arguably tilts too far in that direction with superguard but I'd hardly call it game ruining or completely devastating like you're making it out to be

            this isn't true, two stylish off goombella's multibonk gives you an entire unit of SP, enough for sweet treat. it's how people can beat bonetail before finishing chapter 1.

        if i can stylish every move and superguard on defense every time i will and it will make the game less interesting objectively.
        i no longer have to make choice like using appeal to gain star power to perform x action next turn because of stylish. part of a good turn based RPG is managing resources and if i have the option to avoid damage with the right reactions that removes that aspect of fun from the game. the game becomes more like an action game with every additional means of avoiding damage through reactions.

        its antithetical to the genre. id go that far. its the principles of the genre and you're desecrating them. ttyd is a poor turn based video game.

    64gays have been getting too uppity lately, it's time for someone to put you in the dirt so this infighting can stop.
    ttyd has better writing, scenarios, gameplay, more content and an actual post game. <- fact
    64 has..... uhmm.... 64 has.... goombario

    Here’s something I hope 64gays, TTYDgays, and Supergays can all agree on?
    Combining ingredients to make recipes is really fun

      When I first played her chapter as a kid and it offscreen has her freaking out about missing her necklace and being unable to be seen without it, I assume she was talking about her bra. Especially since I knew from the game cover how big her breasts were and they never said Necklace directly until you progress further in the chapter.

    ttyd is actually funny. I like paper Mario on N64 but it's not very funny

    I wish TTYD's level design didn't solely consist of hallways.

    Am I glad that I still have my old cartridge from when it came out. Same goes for my TYYD, these are crazy expensive now. Did you already beat 64 or are you still going?
