This. Super was the first Paper Mario I played, so when this happened I thought it was rather novel because a game had never made me do that before. I totally get being annoyed about it now, but at the time I liked it.

for both being games that were fricking massive on the internet in the late 2000's-early 2010's (from my faded recollection, and spm was mainly just Mr. L and dimentio), there's surprisingly little touhou/super paper mario crossover pictures. it's usually the previous two PM games.
I love these little buggers
i like a lot of the unique enemies and npc's in this game and how digitally blocky they are, really encapsulates the time period this game was released in. people complain about them not fitting in with the regular paper mario cast but that's meant to be the point since these dimensions are meant to be more digital than the normal world, you flip with a goddamn mouse cursor
When I was a kid and I played this I didn’t know you were supposed to write this down and I thought you were only allowed to memorize it by brain and I had spent hours saying it out loud ver and over to me self
And then eventually I read online that you were supposed to weite it down and I said damn

>jumping on a cursya at a point in the game after chapter 2 >after they introduce multiple types and encourage you not to fricking touch them if you use tippi or just do it on your own realizing it's a bad idea
it's your own fault, especially since you get carrie after your first encounter with this specific cursya early in the level so you'd obviously have bowser who can kill the rare times it comes back with fire
That's moronic from another angle: why have all these different Cursya types if the player is never gonna touch them after they encounter their first and they're all beaten the same way?
Are these back cursyas in the pit as well? Would like to be weary of that ahead of time
Also bless these squigs for breaking the game essentially

no, flipside pit doesn't have back cursyas either.
probably did at some point which is why they have dark versions in the first place since the enemies on the floors don't change between flipside and flopside but they probably thought it was too much.
it's pretty interesting to see how many unused enemies this game has, quite a few returning foes from ttyd and 64 along with different variations of the new enemies that just never got use.

How do the Squigs break the game? Was there some sort of exploit or glitch involving them?
the last few floors are pretty hectic if you're not using dottie, wish the rest of the game got as hectic instead of castle bleck usually having enemies from as far back as chapter 3 (sucks because i love that most of the actually unique enemies outside of koopatrols have a monochrome color scheme to fit with the castle being black and white).
It's been fun replaying this game. Frick chapters 4, 5, and 7 though. Should I do the maps, recipes, and cards? I steamrolled everything after doing the Flipside & Flopside Pit of Trials as early as possible.
I also remember searching everywhere for Tippi and Bleck after beating the game when I was younger.
>Frick chapters 4, 5, and 7 though.
i wish at least only part of 7-4 was the overthere, the chapter crashes and burns the second you leave the underwhere and that was fun aside from the hag trio. maybe still have peach be in the overthere and 7-3 expects you to cross gaps with luig's super jump instead for a bit instead of it only being for verticality.
i'd say at least go for the cards and maps. didn't give a shit about the recipes when i played it.
not too sure but i'd say at least do flipside pit as soon as you can since dashell is pretty good, even if it's really easy to level up and make the game easier than it already is. it also spoils the story if you check tippi's catch card from floor 10 which if you're playing blind then don't check it
I've honestly never played Paper Mario. Just recognized the art style.
Was into Nintendo back in the day though. Played a lot of Melee and Brawl. Also Mario Hoops on the DS.
Played the frick out of this. So fun. It and Super Scribblenauts were my most played DS games.

Drawn to life isn't at all similar to Scribblenauts, even though I liked both. Drawn to life just has you drawing sprites, that's all that's to it. Scribblenauts really don't have any actual challenge in mechanical difficulty, rather it's a puzzle game where you write things and they'll appear. You use the things you make to solve puzzles.

Yes. You know the ones that shoot the rocks at you? You can bounce off of the rocks over and over and each time you bounce without touching the ground you’ll get 10 more experience points than the last time (10, 20, 30, etc.), until eventually you’re getting thousands of experience points per bounce. The earliest rock shooting squig is like 30 minutes into the game so you can exploit this very early, although it becomes much easier to do once you get Carrie in chapter 3.

Minecraft and Terraria have more in common than Scribblenauts and Drawn To life. But it's such a bizarre comparison I see people bring up, probably has to do with the naming convention. Just remember "Scribble" in Scribblenauts is more like scribbling down a note, not scribbling a drawing.

It's not some facetious comparison; the two DO share a lot in common. But, you play them and you'll know Terraria play more like an MMORPG+Boss Rush+Metroidvania hybrid with a LOT of progression gating while Minecraft is more of a Sandbox game with light progression mechanics. It's just sloppy analogy on my part, sorry about that. Scribblenauts and Drawn to life are very different games despite the superficial resemblance of theme.

The Scribblenauts games on the DS were fun. The real appeal, which for some reason they moved away from in the later entries from what I played, was the sandbox mode. You could spawn whatever you wanted and see how they interact. Could stage battles and stuff like that.
There was also the puzzle mode which was alright but the sandbox was more entertaining.
Played a bit of Drawn to Life, don't know which one because I think there were a few.
Paper Mario in general just loved fricking with the player and intentionally wasting your time for a gag at your expense, TTYD and SPM especially. >b-b-but it's bad game design
they designers know
that's the joke
people shit on the crag block password but your post is exactly why i love it, it's the devs completely fricking with you knowing you'll get mad. and even then it still tells you to write it down possibly for replays so you don't have to do it again. not gonna defend 2-3's password though, the point is to do labor but that level's just boring unless you write the password down there too
How do the Squigs break the game? Was there some sort of exploit or glitch involving them?
squigs and their variations can shoot rocks but only a couple at a time before walking a bit, unless you're on carrie or some other trick before you get her i think in which case they'll just repeat the process forever, rocks also don't have a point deduction for if you bounce on enough things in a chain. you figure out the rest.
>Mario Hoops on the DS

I could have sworn you could do it without Carrie but I could be wrong.

Who ever thought it was even remotely okay to have you beat the Flopside pit of 100 trials twice
Literally nothing even changes up to the Shadoo fight, if anything it's easier the second time since you'll undoubtedly level up by going through the pit. This is "Satan's illusion" in Ghosts and Goblins levels of sheer "frick you"
Somebody else mentioned it above but TTYD and SPM actively go out of their way to waste the player's time, which is why I only care for the first game.
Super Paper Mario was such a terrible game. God popping this fricker in and being excited and then the absolute feeling of devastation when there was no turn based combat. It also didn't help that the story was ass and even as a kid I knew it was fricking bad.
I was 10 when the game released and didn't look into any gaming news at the time because I was a dumb kid. All I saw was the "Wii would like to play" Super Paper Mario commercial on TV and went "Oh my God, a new Paper Mario? I gotta ask my parents if I can have this for my birthday!".
Ah yes I'm sure you were an anti consumerism activist with ten years but then asked your parents a new game just by seeing The Mario (forma de papel) on TV

I’m the same age as you and this was my first paper mario (I think we rented the N64 one but I was like 6 and didn’t understand RPGs at all at the time so I didn’t play it much), I fricking loved Super Paper Mario and I think it has the best story out of any Mario game
i knew everything was wrong just from the intro and how the characters spoke, and it only kept getting worse and worse
anyone who was surprised by sticker star after super paper mario was a fricking idiot
i know we're on Ganker haha epic funni i hate video games soooo much, but i'm not exaggerating my disgust towards spm even a little bit. i've tried replaying it because i'd love to be able to better articulate specifically why, but just the intro alone gives me cringe chills and a headache. do you know how much dialogue you have to suffer through in between the mind-numbing gameplay? it's like it was written by millennial hideo kojima. i'm so sorry that i just wasn't mature enough to appreciate writing like this when i was 12 years old.

i have better intelligent systems game threads to reply to myself in than a super paper mario thread
It’s weird seeing people actually genuinely discuss this game again outside of when it first released. I used to post that I like SPM better in TTYD threads for years and I only ever got the most bootyblasted reponses. But I still like the original best of all
I like SPM more than TTYD and I’ll admit it’s probably nostalgia since I played it first. Honestly I’ve only ever played 64 and TTYD once but I’m on my 5th playthrough of SPM at the moment lmao
>Actual meat as a ingredient, all those great recipes that cures poison >Playable Luigi >Cool new locale with its own people, flora and fauna >Funny script and unique characters >Great music
I knew it wasn't like the first two games but I loved it still.
It blew my mind during his fight when I found out you could steal his healing items while fighting him. I didn’t even mean to do it and it was a neat Easter egg
This game has the weirdest fricking details shoved into it. >the paintings in the room before discussing the Flora Kingdom's history through its previous monarchs
Stuff like that is why, despite it being overall mediocre, I still have a soft spot for it.
>Can find her post game wondering wtf she's going to do with her life now that her dream husbando blinked out of existence with his beloved waifu
I remember feeling awful for her when I was younger.
Super Paper Mario has my favorite OST out of all Mario RPGs and that is an EXTREMELY tight competition
That song is excellent, one of my favorites on the soundtrack. Shame about the level being so long, lol.
https://youtu.be/EutblsZ2bP4?si=E48h_CE5mFtBAoga
one of my favorite songs in the paper mario series
Also a memory of mine. I am reminded of the time where I used to watch my older brother play Paper Mario games and I would just watch, it's how I was first introduced to these games and their stories. I couldn't be older than 10 or so while I watched him.
I can remember during the time when he was at this level and I would twirl and dance while he was playing it cuz I really liked the music.
super has a lot of amazing tracks, similarly to the anon above it's probably my favorite mario rpg soundtrack. has my favorite rendition of the star theme as well.
too bad the whole retro throwback with it is watered down nowadays now that retro throwbacks are the norm
>main party of Deltarune is a silent protagonist, an angry bully reptile, a green softie weirdo, and a feminine girl with romantic tension with the reptile >secret boss of Ch1 is a purple jester man
the problems it has stem from super's lacking level design in general and only being tied to mario. i get it's because once you get the other characters there would be no use for mario since he can't speak in cutscenes, but it just makes most of the times you have to switch to 3d lame.
they should've given you the option to go back to bestovius to give the other three the ability, but for an increasing cost after he gave it to mario for free. so you could stick with mario being your only flipping character or rack up enough coins to give it to the other three possibly to open up secrets.
I agree, but at the same time I'm having a hard thinking about what could have really been done with that. Especially considering the shitty sideways Wiimote controls.
I can’t really see myself ever trudging all the way through Sticker Star, but the couple chapters of Color Splash I played back in the day seemed alright. I remember that game being super funny but my humor may be different now. I didn’t like the combat using cards or whatever to attack. Does Origami King still use the cards or is it closer to TTYD?
origami king is at least better than the two before it but i still didn't feel it. there's no cards/stickers for the battle system but the rotating gimmick while neat for a bit does get boring quick. think i played up to around two streamers in before stopping despite not hating it. just never felt like going back.
Unironically I think Color Splash was a more enjoyable experience than TOK. The games are super similar in style and humor but I feel TOK was way more drawn out and padded with unfun shit in the overworld (mainly collecting Toads). I should note I never see my opinion shared but I don't know if that's due to the fact no one really played CS or people just really prefer Color Splash: Paper Jam edition (TOK).
To answer your question though TOK's battle system is unlike either game though I feel it leans closer to SS/CS than PM64/TTYD due to a lack of variety in action commands being hyperfocused on the idea of puzzel-based combat with your goal being to kill normal enemies in 1 turn.
>due to the fact no one really played CS
I'd put my bet on that. After getting singed by SPM and then immolated by SS, nobody and I mean NOBODY gave CS a chance, and that's before it was put on the dead console called the Wii U. Only reason OK gets any talking points is because they made an interview about how "they're going back to basics" and a puppet made a video about it. That and the usual contrarians.
All Origami King showed was that, quite ironically, I really wish that they'd just make it an action adventure game instead of shoehorning in ANY different screen combat. I don't like SPM for a multitude of reasons, but Christ almighty at least it didn't feel like it was wasting my time the way any of the latter three do.
This game and TTYD liked playing annoying pranks at the player's expense. They were super cheeky for some reason.
I enjoyed them. The only one that annoyed me was the Sammer kingdom the first time you go through it where you don't fight. I don't get why they made you go through so many rooms. That part dragged on too long.
>Is that the cloud heaven section?
yes, the one where you need to go through, find an apple that wakes peach up, get to the top, and then get told you need to search all the samey rooms for the apple that makes shit big.
posted earlier about how i'd wish more of castle bleck's enemies incorporated a monochrome color palette so decided to act on it (not counting bowser minions aside from ones introduced in castle bleck like poison pokey and red i).
not the greatest at giving stats or names but i think i did alright
Actually I really liked it since it had unique mechanics that made it feel dangerous
That said I don't think I ever touched one since they clearly explain to you why you shouldn't
Aren't they very rare too?
skill check
I like it. It's funny
To hit it till it dies
If you jump on it(even with Carrie) you get sent all the way back to the hub world
Yeah, it's a funny enemy, isn't it?
Hardly.
Also this bullshit, I’m starting to get why this game isn’t as fondly remembered.

Literally nothing even changes up to the Shadoo fight, if anything it's easier the second time since you'll undoubtedly level up by going through the pit. This is "Satan's illusion" in Ghosts and Goblins levels of sheer "frick you"
I don't recall it being too hard other than having to restock on rations but it did seem redundant when Flipside already had one
Somebody else mentioned it above but TTYD and SPM actively go out of their way to waste the player's time, which is why I only care for the first game.
I enjoyed Chapters 2, 3, 6, 7, and the finale.
didnt they put these guys in the flopside pit of 100 trials?
fricking c**ts
Someone else in the thread said they didn’t actually
Super Paper Mario was such a terrible game. God popping this fricker in and being excited and then the absolute feeling of devastation when there was no turn based combat. It also didn't help that the story was ass and even as a kid I knew it was fricking bad.
The story was alright but how the FRICK did it take you until AFTER buying the game to realize it wasn't turn-based?
I was 10 when the game released and didn't look into any gaming news at the time because I was a dumb kid. All I saw was the "Wii would like to play" Super Paper Mario commercial on TV and went "Oh my God, a new Paper Mario? I gotta ask my parents if I can have this for my birthday!".
Skill issue, I would beat my dick to video game magazines all day out of anticipation for new titles at that age.
>I better than you because I consoomed
Anon that isn't a good look or brag
Ah yes I'm sure you were an anti consumerism activist with ten years but then asked your parents a new game just by seeing The Mario (forma de papel) on TV
I’m the same age as you and this was my first paper mario (I think we rented the N64 one but I was like 6 and didn’t understand RPGs at all at the time so I didn’t play it much), I fricking loved Super Paper Mario and I think it has the best story out of any Mario game
i knew everything was wrong just from the intro and how the characters spoke, and it only kept getting worse and worse
anyone who was surprised by sticker star after super paper mario was a fricking idiot
I feel like we played a different game or something. This game is soooo much better than Sticker Star
>pee is soooooo much better than poo
whatever
you need to be 18 to post here
i know we're on Ganker haha epic funni i hate video games soooo much, but i'm not exaggerating my disgust towards spm even a little bit. i've tried replaying it because i'd love to be able to better articulate specifically why, but just the intro alone gives me cringe chills and a headache. do you know how much dialogue you have to suffer through in between the mind-numbing gameplay? it's like it was written by millennial hideo kojima. i'm so sorry that i just wasn't mature enough to appreciate writing like this when i was 12 years old.
I just played this part yesterday, it’s hilarious. Especially the [Mario gets up with a mean look on his face] part, I remember laughing out loud and saying “oh shit Mario looks like he’s about to beat the frick outta him” where he squared up on the little green gay. Just lighten up man
ttyd feels like a lived-in world and an adventure with a lot of silliness
spm feels like a 2000s chat room improv comedy marathon which later becomes deeply pretentious and melodramatic. for some that is kino. for others it is being waterboarded
accurate
stop replying to yourself
i have better intelligent systems game threads to reply to myself in than a super paper mario thread
It’s weird seeing people actually genuinely discuss this game again outside of when it first released. I used to post that I like SPM better in TTYD threads for years and I only ever got the most bootyblasted reponses.
But I still like the original best of all
I like SPM more than TTYD and I’ll admit it’s probably nostalgia since I played it first. Honestly I’ve only ever played 64 and TTYD once but I’m on my 5th playthrough of SPM at the moment lmao
>Actual meat as a ingredient, all those great recipes that cures poison
>Playable Luigi
>Cool new locale with its own people, flora and fauna
>Funny script and unique characters
>Great music
I knew it wasn't like the first two games but I loved it still.
who was mr L anyways? Weird how they killed him off so early.
That was Wa-luigi.
obviously Mr. L is just a manifestation made by the Brobot.
luigi from a parallel dimension where bowser succeeded in killing mario and luigi became evil in his quest for revenge
More like Mr. Loser
>HAHA ITS FUNNY BECA
>beca
damn, this guy was gonna reveal his identity too. why does nintendo keep us from knowing who he is and killing the few with knowledge?
I’m pretty sure it was actually candlejack that got t
It blew my mind during his fight when I found out you could steal his healing items while fighting him. I didn’t even mean to do it and it was a neat Easter egg
decided to make this shitty meme
All OC is always appreciated anon
Was just jamming to this myself in the game
saved
>contemplative music kicks in
>wait..we were actually the bad guys all along?
Wtf is this lmao
Oh frick it gets even better, now it’s a save the earth episode
This game has the weirdest fricking details shoved into it.
>the paintings in the room before discussing the Flora Kingdom's history through its previous monarchs
Stuff like that is why, despite it being overall mediocre, I still have a soft spot for it.
I do it for she
>Can find her post game wondering wtf she's going to do with her life now that her dream husbando blinked out of existence with his beloved waifu
I remember feeling awful for her when I was younger.
Based cuckqueen
Just went back and got Barry from 3-1. He seems kinda useless
You're basically invincible while using him. Completely busted.
But it only last for like a second. I’m getting the music pixl now and it’s a pain in the ass, hope it’s worth it
?si=E48h_CE5mFtBAoga
one of my favorite songs in the paper mario series
Super Paper Mario has my favorite OST out of all Mario RPGs and that is an EXTREMELY tight competition
That song is excellent, one of my favorites on the soundtrack. Shame about the level being so long, lol.
This game has a very catchy soundtrack
?si=zfsEOm43kJCPP37z
But it doesn’t even come close to Super Mario RPG to me
Yoko peaked in Superstar Saga in my opinion
Also a memory of mine. I am reminded of the time where I used to watch my older brother play Paper Mario games and I would just watch, it's how I was first introduced to these games and their stories. I couldn't be older than 10 or so while I watched him.
I can remember during the time when he was at this level and I would twirl and dance while he was playing it cuz I really liked the music.
super has a lot of amazing tracks, similarly to the anon above it's probably my favorite mario rpg soundtrack. has my favorite rendition of the star theme as well.
too bad the whole retro throwback with it is watered down nowadays now that retro throwbacks are the norm
Yep, that's a classic.
as much as i love the modern paper mario soundtracks, i miss the feel that the original three had.
sounds like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon music
Castle Bleck theme is great.
I love these little buggers
Is it true that Toby Fox just stole everything from Super Paper Mario?
>main party of Deltarune is a silent protagonist, an angry bully reptile, a green softie weirdo, and a feminine girl with romantic tension with the reptile
>secret boss of Ch1 is a purple jester man
you might be onto something
never 4get ;_;
he was a good man
This entire game feels exactly like what it is: a RPG team trying to make a fricking platformer, it just doesn't work.
Works on my machine
I liked perspective switching
I just wish there was more to it then "go around the thing"
the problems it has stem from super's lacking level design in general and only being tied to mario. i get it's because once you get the other characters there would be no use for mario since he can't speak in cutscenes, but it just makes most of the times you have to switch to 3d lame.
they should've given you the option to go back to bestovius to give the other three the ability, but for an increasing cost after he gave it to mario for free. so you could stick with mario being your only flipping character or rack up enough coins to give it to the other three possibly to open up secrets.
I agree, but at the same time I'm having a hard thinking about what could have really been done with that. Especially considering the shitty sideways Wiimote controls.
I can’t really see myself ever trudging all the way through Sticker Star, but the couple chapters of Color Splash I played back in the day seemed alright. I remember that game being super funny but my humor may be different now. I didn’t like the combat using cards or whatever to attack. Does Origami King still use the cards or is it closer to TTYD?
origami king is at least better than the two before it but i still didn't feel it. there's no cards/stickers for the battle system but the rotating gimmick while neat for a bit does get boring quick. think i played up to around two streamers in before stopping despite not hating it. just never felt like going back.
Unironically I think Color Splash was a more enjoyable experience than TOK. The games are super similar in style and humor but I feel TOK was way more drawn out and padded with unfun shit in the overworld (mainly collecting Toads). I should note I never see my opinion shared but I don't know if that's due to the fact no one really played CS or people just really prefer Color Splash: Paper Jam edition (TOK).
To answer your question though TOK's battle system is unlike either game though I feel it leans closer to SS/CS than PM64/TTYD due to a lack of variety in action commands being hyperfocused on the idea of puzzel-based combat with your goal being to kill normal enemies in 1 turn.
>due to the fact no one really played CS
I'd put my bet on that. After getting singed by SPM and then immolated by SS, nobody and I mean NOBODY gave CS a chance, and that's before it was put on the dead console called the Wii U. Only reason OK gets any talking points is because they made an interview about how "they're going back to basics" and a puppet made a video about it. That and the usual contrarians.
All Origami King showed was that, quite ironically, I really wish that they'd just make it an action adventure game instead of shoehorning in ANY different screen combat. I don't like SPM for a multitude of reasons, but Christ almighty at least it didn't feel like it was wasting my time the way any of the latter three do.
Super Paper Mario is not good
This game and TTYD liked playing annoying pranks at the player's expense. They were super cheeky for some reason.
Overthere Stair is the worst section i've ever played in any platformer. Nothing but vertical rooms that all look the same.
Is that the cloud heaven section?
I enjoyed them. The only one that annoyed me was the Sammer kingdom the first time you go through it where you don't fight. I don't get why they made you go through so many rooms. That part dragged on too long.
>Is that the cloud heaven section?
yes, the one where you need to go through, find an apple that wakes peach up, get to the top, and then get told you need to search all the samey rooms for the apple that makes shit big.
posted earlier about how i'd wish more of castle bleck's enemies incorporated a monochrome color palette so decided to act on it (not counting bowser minions aside from ones introduced in castle bleck like poison pokey and red i).
not the greatest at giving stats or names but i think i did alright
Actually I really liked it since it had unique mechanics that made it feel dangerous
That said I don't think I ever touched one since they clearly explain to you why you shouldn't
Aren't they very rare too?
