Same but I'm a software engineer. His Paper Mario and Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door Let's Plays are what made me fall in love with his channel all those years ago. So it's really exciting seeing him revisit this game, especially since he missed a LOT of content in the original Let's Play.
If I hear one joke about his hatred towards the modern games, I'm out of here. It's so exhausting hearing him rant about Sticker Star for the 5 millionth time.
I have been watching Chugga since 2nd or 3rd grade. Now, I'm a college senior in my 20s, and seeing him play Paper Mario again makes me feel so nostalgic but soooo old
A majority of people say Thousand Year Door is the best Paper Mario game, but the original is by far the greatest telling of the traditional Super Mario story.
True, PM64 is strictly "oh no, Bowser kidnapped the princess, Mario go save her" but the worldbuilding really makes it a fresh experience. TTYD and SPM threw in the (very effective) plot complication of there being _other_ evil factions, SS/CS changed it to "it's Bowser again, but he did a goof-em-up and got mind controlled", and TOK went back to having an original villain do the deed. Funny thing that just hit me: PM64 Bowser and King Olly are the only two villains (in the entire Mario franchise...?) that stole and relocated THE CASTLE ITSELF along with Peach.
@@WackoMcGoose Depends on what you mean by stole. The Shroobs in Partners in Time didn't move it, but they basically conquered the kingdom. Also Fawful in Bowser's Inside Story took it over and made it into giant fighting robot, yes seriously.
@@WackoMcGoose Not to disagree with what you were saying right, but marioGalaxy one bowser lifted peach's entire castle up to space as well, in a pretty similar fashion to pm64
@@Sponsie1000 @ShyRanger ...I did think about Fawful (the castle being turned into a mech and fighting Giga-Bowser certainly counts as "relocation") and the Shroobs (reformatted the castle, but it remained in the same location), but completely forgot about Galaxy, whoops. So we've got at least one castle theft in all three timelines (Paper, M&L, and mainverse).
If nothing else, Fawful pulled the same stunt of relocating Bowser’s castle for the Dimble Woods giant battle and to dodge a cannonball, so Fawful is more impressive in that he relocated two castles temporarily, and used both to battle Giant Bowser twice, even if Bowser has moved a castle to “the center of a galaxy” in Galaxy, and to space in Paper Mario 64.
@@masonmurphy5402 i think its because he nearly perfected his lets play method years and years ago and has no reason to majorly modify it anymore so they still give the same vibes from that era
This let’s play is gonna be so good! Been fun learning about the franchise from you, and I hope everyone enjoys this let’s play! Looks like it’ll be a lot of fun~
I hope one day when Emile comes back, we can welcome him back with open arms. I love his Lps, and I'd be VERY happy to see him do the next let's play after Black and White 2... IF he ever decides to come back from his indefinite hiatus. I miss him... and I hope he can FINALLY be happy.. he deserves it after the entire shitstorm that happened three and a half months ago.
Agreed! He definitely deserves our support. I don’t want to judge or begrudge anyone when I obviously don’t know the whole story, but it sure seems like many friends turned their back on him when he needed them the most. Hope he comes back and plays some games that bring him true joy.
God Chuggaaconroy was my entire childhood, and he's the reason I hold many franchises in high regard. I remember watching your Sunshine playthrough daily, as soon as it came out. I watched all of your backlog and, to this day, I make time to see what you decide to play next. You make bad days good, and good days better. Never change Emile, and thank you
Damn, looks like so many of us had this pretty similar experience with the channel. I haven't watched a video of his in probably close to a decade if not more. But hearing mention of super Mario Sunshine brings memories watching it back. I'd see his vids show up from time to time and despite not watching anymore I always felt bad about unsubbing lmao. Was probably one of the first channels I subscribed to. So I never did. I'll prolly check this new stuff out, though.
My heart skipped a beat seeing this on my recommended. Whole reason i found chuggaa was cause i needed a walkthrough while playing ttyd when I was little and since then i've always loved his channel. This was a nice breath of nostalgia to see him play this again
No way, I had the same experience! I didn't realise Paper Mario and Paper Mario ttyd were different games, so I was getting all confused by the text walk-throughs 😖 finally decided to click on a video, realized it was a different game, but just got so enraptured that I kept watching lol
It's nice not having to worry about the 11 minute time limit of 2008. Ah the nostalgia. I discovered your channel in 2012, when you had already LP'd the first 3 games (and before SS came out I think?) and I loved how relatable you were because you were the first Paper Mario let's player I ever heard of. Nobody in school knew what Paper Mario was or even that there WERE Mario RPGs. You were a big inspiration in me becoming a let's player (and while I'm still small-time I know I can get better with practice and effort) and I only stopped watching when you weren't covering games I played because I didn't want to get spoiled. So thanks to you, from the bottom of my heart. I may be just two of your 1.27 million subs (yes I have 2 accounts, sue me) but I hope you read this and remember that you make people happy just by doing what you love.
Us, dude. First LP I've seen from him was his TTYD one, back in like 2008 or something. Just as quality then as it is now. Plus, it was nice to see chugga swear. :^)
Mine was Majora's Mask, after watching several highlight videos by JEMyles and BaneOfXistance4. Back in 2012 or 2013, when I was looking up Legend of Zelda videos after playing OoT 3DS.
i recommend watching the old playthrough FIRST before the current one. cause you get to see how chugga has evolved, also it'll make this playthrough feel more complete, because you'll have innocent young chugga giving his thoughts on everything. Try it out!
I still remember the original paper Mario LP as one of, if not THE first LP series I saw on youtube, and one of my earliest memories of the site as a whole. Really brings me back seeing this again... It's astounding to see how far you've come 14 years later, all without losing any of that charm!
I can't remember the last time I was THIS excited for a Chuggaaconroy LP, and I love all of them! I will be anxiously waiting every day for new episodes, so excited to go through this game again with Emile!
An episode of paper mario that is not forced to be ten/eleven minutes long? This is wild to me, even moreso when I remember how long ago it was when I discovered your channel. So many good memories.
19:48 - 20:10 - I love this moment so much. I’m tearing right now, as I wrote this comment. The ethereal hum, the slow pan down, the whole screen fading to white as Mario sinks beneath the clouds. And then, the main motif creeps back in, the title card appears, and music ascends in an almost playful, hopeful tone. This 30 seconds is such a powerful tone setter, and all of the props in the world to Yuka Tsujiyoko for her amazing score throughout this game.
As a "newer" viewer (I found this channel during the Earthbound lp remake) I am very excited for this let's play. It's really cool to see a modern version of an old let's play that I probably wouldn't have watched because of its age.
goombario's dad is relatable on so many levels, especially when you work on a project art or videos and something goes wrong and you just inhale deeply and take a huge sigh. xD
This is some S Tier voice acting. Awww man I remember watching the old series years ago. I’m so excited to watch this new one!! These always brighten up my days.
I don't comment often, but It's nice to see a revisit to this! You were the first let's player I ever subscribed to back in 2008 on my old channel, and I'm happy to see this classic be revisited. Thank you Chuggaconroy!
@@chugga oh for sure, this was a blast to watch! I was 7 when I used to watch these videos, but I watched them back in 2011. Some of us grew up with this channel, and I would use it as a guide & be laughing along the way. Thank you for everything ❤
Ok I’ll be honest, I haven’t really watched your original Paper Mario Let’s Play because of how dated it was. You’ve grown so vibrant and charismatically energetic over the recent years credited to your growth that I wish many more of your older LP’s had the same energy you display today. That’s why as an og Paper Mario fan, I’ve beyond ecstatic seeing you’ve chosen to replay Paper Mario as your next Let’s Play! And however many more years it will take then, I will now count the days until you replay Paper Mario TTYD lol
TTYD was my introduction to our man here. And that feels like such a long time ago. We're in a pseudo golden age right here fellas. ..... (This would imply I know when Emile's channel had a golden age so to speak. Couldn't put my finger on that.
This is such a heavy hit of nostalgia, having grown up with your old series from 10+ years ago and watching each one multiple times. Excited to go on this adventure again in HD!
19:47 this title intro still gives me goosebumps to this day, and it goes to show you just how serious the scenario is; you for this moment felt so powerless and the music displays such a feeling for loss and hope, and that is why I absolutely love Paper Mario! I’m so late to this hype train, but I’m so happy to see you playing this game again!
I'm watching his 14 year old play through of this BEFORE he reaches the same point in the modern playthrough of this. it'll be cool to see how Chugga has evolved his LP's in the last 14 years.
Hey Chugga, I'm here specifically because I just JUST learned about the shit you've been forced through. You didn't deserve it and while I'm not much of one for this style of Let's Play anymore, I'm going to go down your list and have it all play. You deserve better man.
Goombario's Log: Day 1 Wow. This has been one of the craziest days of my life. First a massive earthquake breaks our fence, then a mysterious man falls from the sky, which turned out to be Mario. THE Mario. Man, I was so excited to finally meet him in person once he woke up. Unfortunately, things went south pretty quickly. This witch Kammy Koopa put a big block right on our fence door preventing us from leaving. And what's worse is that Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach again. Oh man, if only there was something I could do? Goombario: Dad! Sis! What happened!? Goompapa: Goombario! This wicked Kammy Koopa just broke our fence, again. Goombaria: And worse, it seems Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach, again. Goombaria: Aw man, what can we do? Goompapa: Don't worry son. I sent Mario to find Goompa and borrow his hammer. That should break the block no problem. Goombaria: Although, he's been in there for a while and hasn't come out yet. You think something's wrong? Goombario: Eh. Gooma's probably telling him another one of her long-winded stories. There's nothing to worry about, besides the thing that we should be worried about. Similar to the previous two comment stories, I'll cover a basic recap of the story so far and present extra conversations between the cast of characters that we will meet along the way. Think of these more like Heart-to-Heart's in Xenoblade. Just the cast getting to chat with one another about what's on their mind. P.S. This is a repost since a Telegram Bot replied to this. DO NOT MESSAGE THESE THINGS. Report them immediately and ignore them. Hopefully it won't pick me up this time, if it does, I'll just repost until it just gives up.
20 minutes of scrolling and 2 days late. I was saying to myself about what you can do this time, then I remembered Goombario. I don't know if I will or will not put any interjections, but I still need to find the other ones.
@@yokai59loi36 Good to see you again. Just bear in mind that I've had Spam Bots in my previous two comments that I've reported, and then subsequentially deleted my comments and reposted them without them. So, if my comments seem to appear very late after the video is posted, that's why. Just report and ignore them.
Oh Chugga! I remember watching your original Paper Mario let's play 14 years ago, when I was 14. You were (and still are) such an innovator and inspiration to everyone who was interested in let's plays at the time. Thank you for replaying this and taking me back. :) ❤
God, what a nostalgia trip. I haven't heard chugga's voice in so long that hearing him now brings me back to my childhood. and the choice in game certainly helps with that.
It's so weird. I watched Chuggaa when I was a kid, and even if I can't name any specific memories, I remember the vibe watching any of them gave. Seeing this, something new yet so familiar, feels... so odd, but so good.
Oh my god I was 4 years old when the original series released, and now at 18 I’m so happy that my childhood magic can reawaken once again. You’re doing really good Emile! Keep it up!
Oh, I hope you're going to complete the cookbook! That was so much fun the last time i replayed. It's such a challenge getting enough ultra shrooms and jammin jellies for every recipe.
Comparing Chugga’s comedy and speaking abilities from the first time he played through Paper Mario has drastically improved. Super excited to watch this whole play through again after all these years
i am crying so hard rn. i watched this original series in the third grade and i’m now a sophomore in college. thank you emile for the 14 years of entertainment since then
I’m honestly so glad he’s going back to cover older lets plays, will definitely watch every episode of this, and every episode and any LP just like in the past 😊
14 years later... It's here once again. I've never really watched that much of the original LP, so I'm excited to see what this is like with new production quality! (Though there IS a charm to really old YT videos, but you know what I mean.)
I was 4 when the original LP came out, and while I obviously wasn’t old enough to have even stumbled on your channel back then (hell I don’t think I even knew what a UA-cam was lol) I appreciate a revisit to this beloved game so much. Seeing you so enthusiastic over a series you clearly love with all your heart just fills me with so much joy
im fangirling so hard rn ... chuggaa's first playthrough was an integral part of just. my experiences with watching ppl play things as well. love u chuggaa and im ready for the nostalgia trip of a lifetime
I could see the end of the second line of the invitation texture being "Kinoko Palace", given that Toad Town was called Kinoko (Mushroom) Town in the Japanese version of the game. Somehow I never watched the original LP back in the day despite knowing of your channel via the Super Mario Galaxy and original EarthBound series, so it'll be great seeing a more thorough coverage of it in the vein of your modern work! I'd be glad to chime in from the comments if there're ever interesting battle mechanics questions that end up coming up, as well!
I started watching this channel in 2008. I stopped for several years as I navigated high school and some college. It is so, so nice to come back and start Paper Mario with him again. I'm trying not to cry from the happy memories I had so many years ago.
Ahh it’s finally here! His Paper Mario LPs were the first exposure I had to his channel, so I’m super hyped for this! Hopefully this reminds everyone of how great the series used to be, and not… whatever it’s turned into recently.
The floating Bowser's castle in Super Circuit's Rainbow Road is a bit surprising looking back on it, as Mario RPG references in Mario Kart are rather rare from what I've seen. Other than that, there's like, Baby Peach in MK Wii?
I seriously go back and watch old chugga series every so often, and I could not believe my eyes when I saw an episode that was over 11 mins long! I thought maybe it was just a re-upload, but I’m very happy to see he’s revisiting this iconic game!!
I remember watching the original play through as a middle schooler, and now it’s being replayed. I’m so excited to watch this play through. It’s going to be awesome
this was my first exposure to let's playing back in 2008, and god, it feels like i'm 9 again just watching you read the intro! i have the absolute doofiest grin on my face. I can't wait to see this through both fresh eyes and with your new editing style (plus longer episodes without the youtube 10 minute limit!) Looking forward to it, Emile!
I just was wondering how chuggaconroy was doing after all these years, I remember watching your paper mario series so long ago and randomly today you popped in my head again and I decided to see what you were up to wasn't expecting this, A replay of one of my favorite let's plays ever. They nostalgia is real, I gotta stick around for this. Thanks for randomly appearing on my head today
The only Paper Mario I ever experienced was Sticker Star, purely because it was a new release on the first console I owned. (is a DS a console?) I heard the original games were much more loved in the Paper Mario community, but never got the chance to play through, or watch a play through of one. I can't express how excited I am to watch you play through this!
Insane to see this channel grow. Chugga's TTYD was the first playthrough I ever watched on youtube over a decade ago. Glad to see that one of the best playthrough channels is still going strong. Can't wait to watch this whole series!
Chuggaa's not kidding about the soundtrack. To this day PM64's music gallery is the most magical out of all of the Paper Marios. It goes without saying that TTYD and SPM can only dream of having as good a soundtrack. Not even the complex instruments of modern Paper Mario songs have anywhere near the same level of wonder this game has.
Refreshing the page over and over to catch it as early as possible is worth it. The first episode of a new Let's Play is always an adventure! Maybe you'll end up convincing me to buy ANOTHER game, only time - and my poor bank account - can tell
This literally could not have come at a better time. I had a really rough day and was trying to think of how to calm down when I saw that you had uploaded this. Thanks Emile for always providing such positive and wholesome content!
It's hard to believe that your first Let's Play of this game was 14 years ago. But it's nice to see this getting revisited with all the flair and attention that you give your newer LPs!
as somebody who has been watching and enjoying these videos as this series originally aired, I’m so happy for you Emile and I can’t wait to watch the remake project!!
Thank you chugga for making this paper mario series again. I have been hooked on al your paper mario stuff ever since I was young. All your old stuff is amazing and I still rewatch a lot of the stuff from time to time. Thank you for making my childhood.
The game that still makes me feel some type of way when I think about my childhood. It’s like it opened a window that has allowed me to remember life at that time in an incredibly vivid way. This and TYD are so dear to me.
I was a literal child when I watched chuggaaconroy's paper mario LP and now I am now an adult, on my way to be a doctor. This is pure nostalgia.
Oh man! Best of fortune, luck, and talent to ya!
I feel the same way but with engineering
i feel so old remembering this😭 wonder how chuggaa feels tho lol
Respect, and best wishes!
Same but I'm a software engineer. His Paper Mario and Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door Let's Plays are what made me fall in love with his channel all those years ago. So it's really exciting seeing him revisit this game, especially since he missed a LOT of content in the original Let's Play.

Either you got that icon from somewhere, or I've seen you comment for many years!
@@chugga Been a longtime fan so you've probably seen me around before!
An episode of paper mario that is not forced to be ten/eleven minutes long?
This is wild to me, even moreso when I remember how long ago it was when I discovered your channel. So many good memories.
19:48 - 20:10 - I love this moment so much. I’m tearing right now, as I wrote this comment. The ethereal hum, the slow pan down, the whole screen fading to white as Mario sinks beneath the clouds. And then, the main motif creeps back in, the title card appears, and music ascends in an almost playful, hopeful tone. This 30 seconds is such a powerful tone setter, and all of the props in the world to Yuka Tsujiyoko for her amazing score throughout this game.
I wanted to say this exact thing haha.
As a "newer" viewer (I found this channel during the Earthbound lp remake) I am very excited for this let's play. It's really cool to see a modern version of an old let's play that I probably wouldn't have watched because of its age.
the earthbound lp was 4 years ago 💀
@@juliakaeppel8762 that's not much in chuggaaconroy years lol
@@juliakaeppel8762 lol yeah, time really flies.
@@juliakaeppel8762 the earthbound LP was WHEN????
@@juliakaeppel8762 to be fair, Chugga has done two Earthbound lps so they may be referring to the first lp
goombario's dad is relatable on so many levels, especially when you work on a project art or videos and something goes wrong and you just inhale deeply and take a huge sigh. xD
This is some S Tier voice acting.
Awww man I remember watching the old series years ago. I’m so excited to watch this new one!! These always brighten up my days.
I don't comment often, but It's nice to see a revisit to this! You were the first let's player I ever subscribed to back in 2008 on my old channel, and I'm happy to see this classic be revisited. Thank you Chuggaconroy!
Thanks so much! I hope it's something that can be enjoyed by those who saw the original and new viewers alike!
@@chugga oh for sure, this was a blast to watch! I was 7 when I used to watch these videos, but I watched them back in 2011. Some of us grew up with this channel, and I would use it as a guide & be laughing along the way. Thank you for everything ❤
Ok I’ll be honest, I haven’t really watched your original Paper Mario Let’s Play because of how dated it was. You’ve grown so vibrant and charismatically energetic over the recent years credited to your growth that I wish many more of your older LP’s had the same energy you display today. That’s why as an og Paper Mario fan, I’ve beyond ecstatic seeing you’ve chosen to replay Paper Mario as your next Let’s Play!
And however many more years it will take then, I will now count the days until you replay Paper Mario TTYD lol
Fake fan
TTYD was my introduction to our man here. And that feels like such a long time ago.
We're in a pseudo golden age right here fellas.
.....
(This would imply I know when Emile's channel had a golden age so to speak. Couldn't put my finger on that.
I’m Don Pianta! I make cryin’ babies weep!
broski what the fuck

@The Advocate same
This is such a heavy hit of nostalgia, having grown up with your old series from 10+ years ago and watching each one multiple times. Excited to go on this adventure again in HD!
19:47 this title intro still gives me goosebumps to this day, and it goes to show you just how serious the scenario is; you for this moment felt so powerless and the music displays such a feeling for loss and hope, and that is why I absolutely love Paper Mario!
I’m so late to this hype train, but I’m so happy to see you playing this game again!
Thank you Emile. Just thank you for everything. You've given me so much entertainment over the last years. Truly thank you.
Is it me or does Chugga really have a wonderful story telling voice?
Well he *has* been working on it for about 14 years.
@@cartooncritic7045 True though
@@cartooncritic7045 Yeah, but there's just something about his early LPs that feels so much like tired Canadian business tech.
Years perfecting his craft
I'm watching his 14 year old play through of this BEFORE he reaches the same point in the modern playthrough of this. it'll be cool to see how Chugga has evolved his LP's in the last 14 years.
Hey Chugga, I'm here specifically because I just JUST learned about the shit you've been forced through. You didn't deserve it and while I'm not much of one for this style of Let's Play anymore, I'm going to go down your list and have it all play. You deserve better man.
Goombario's Log: Day 1
Wow. This has been one of the craziest days of my life. First a massive earthquake breaks our fence, then a mysterious man falls from the sky, which turned out to be Mario. THE Mario. Man, I was so excited to finally meet him in person once he woke up. Unfortunately, things went south pretty quickly. This witch Kammy Koopa put a big block right on our fence door preventing us from leaving. And what's worse is that Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach again. Oh man, if only there was something I could do?
Goombario: Dad! Sis! What happened!?
Goompapa: Goombario! This wicked Kammy Koopa just broke our fence, again.
Goombaria: And worse, it seems Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach, again.
Goombaria: Aw man, what can we do?
Goompapa: Don't worry son. I sent Mario to find Goompa and borrow his hammer. That should break the block no problem.
Goombaria: Although, he's been in there for a while and hasn't come out yet. You think something's wrong?
Goombario: Eh. Gooma's probably telling him another one of her long-winded stories. There's nothing to worry about, besides the thing that we should be worried about.
Similar to the previous two comment stories, I'll cover a basic recap of the story so far and present extra conversations between the cast of characters that we will meet along the way. Think of these more like Heart-to-Heart's in Xenoblade. Just the cast getting to chat with one another about what's on their mind.
P.S. This is a repost since a Telegram Bot replied to this. DO NOT MESSAGE THESE THINGS. Report them immediately and ignore them. Hopefully it won't pick me up this time, if it does, I'll just repost until it just gives up.
20 minutes of scrolling and 2 days late. I was saying to myself about what you can do this time, then I remembered Goombario. I don't know if I will or will not put any interjections, but I still need to find the other ones.
@@yokai59loi36 Good to see you again. Just bear in mind that I've had Spam Bots in my previous two comments that I've reported, and then subsequentially deleted my comments and reposted them without them. So, if my comments seem to appear very late after the video is posted, that's why. Just report and ignore them.
@@colefrazee Oh, so that is why I am struggling to find your episode 2 repost.
@@yokai59loi36 Yeah. I reposted it roughly 4 and a half hours ago due to a spam bot.
chuggaa needs to pin this guy's comments tbh, they just ooze charm and creativity, but tend to get drowned in the sea of comments
Just what I need as a pick-me-up during a depressive episode. Thank you so much, Emile.
If this makes you less depressed gosh im sorry. Maybe try having a life and dont hang your feelings onna subnominal youtber
@@HuckleburyFlynn
You're not very nice are you
I hope life gets kinder for you and that you get the support you need to get through it. Hang in there
Remember excitedly waiting for each part in his Super Paper Mario series back in 2012. Amazing to have him pop back into my feed 10 years later!
Oh Chugga! I remember watching your original Paper Mario let's play 14 years ago, when I was 14. You were (and still are) such an innovator and inspiration to everyone who was interested in let's plays at the time. Thank you for replaying this and taking me back. :) ❤
Let’s just take a moment to recognize that Chugga is still an absolute legend!
I will never get tired of Chugga’s toad voice!
I was 12 Years old watching the original run through of Paper Mario. I am now about to be 27. Feeling old but good as hell.
23 year old here and used to watch when I was 8, chugga's a real trooper
i was 7 or 8 and now i'm 19 😊 chugga raised me when my parents wouldn't
28 and i started at 16!
The time is finally here!!!! Im so excited
Same
God, what a nostalgia trip. I haven't heard chugga's voice in so long that hearing him now brings me back to my childhood. and the choice in game certainly helps with that.
It's so weird. I watched Chuggaa when I was a kid, and even if I can't name any specific memories, I remember the vibe watching any of them gave. Seeing this, something new yet so familiar, feels... so odd, but so good.
In this episode:
A game made entirely out of paper? Let’s see if it makes the cut!
I'm sure the videos will be very well crafted.
@@TakerKaneanite619 I mean he has so much material to work with
@@cameronmyers3973 Will he take risks? Or will he simply fold?
All these puns are so flat.
I hope I'll be able to stick around. These games painted my childhood. A wonderful adventure is about to unfold.
10:30 Emile speaking, I'm sorry, YELLING, in character with his mouth covered caught me off guard 🤣
Oh my god I was 4 years old when the original series released, and now at 18 I’m so happy that my childhood magic can reawaken once again. You’re doing really good Emile! Keep it up!
omg sameee
This makes my day feel SO much better, an absolute beam of sunshine. This game is equally important to my childhood. I love it so much.
Oh, I hope you're going to complete the cookbook! That was so much fun the last time i replayed. It's such a challenge getting enough ultra shrooms and jammin jellies for every recipe.
Comparing Chugga’s comedy and speaking abilities from the first time he played through Paper Mario has drastically improved. Super excited to watch this whole play through again after all these years
i am crying so hard rn. i watched this original series in the third grade and i’m now a sophomore in college. thank you emile for the 14 years of entertainment since then
I can already tell this series is gonna be incredible!
Returning so many years. This was the play through that got me into Chuggaconroy
Same here
I watched the original series as it was coming out when I was 5! SO cool to live it again, thanks for all these years of entertainment chugga!
A Yes album pfp? Based.
You were WHAT YEARS OLD? (Withers into the dust below)
I was also 5 when it came out
It's always great watching Emile, especially when it's about a game he is so passionate about like this one.
I’m honestly so glad he’s going back to cover older lets plays, will definitely watch every episode of this, and every episode and any LP just like in the past 😊
14 years later... It's here once again. I've never really watched that much of the original LP, so I'm excited to see what this is like with new production quality! (Though there IS a charm to really old YT videos, but you know what I mean.)
I was 4 when the original LP came out, and while I obviously wasn’t old enough to have even stumbled on your channel back then (hell I don’t think I even knew what a UA-cam was lol) I appreciate a revisit to this beloved game so much. Seeing you so enthusiastic over a series you clearly love with all your heart just fills me with so much joy
I constantly revisit the first series as comfort content. I'm so excited to have a whole new version of it to enjoy.
im fangirling so hard rn ... chuggaa's first playthrough was an integral part of just. my experiences with watching ppl play things as well. love u chuggaa and im ready for the nostalgia trip of a lifetime
I could see the end of the second line of the invitation texture being "Kinoko Palace", given that Toad Town was called Kinoko (Mushroom) Town in the Japanese version of the game.
Somehow I never watched the original LP back in the day despite knowing of your channel via the Super Mario Galaxy and original EarthBound series, so it'll be great seeing a more thorough coverage of it in the vein of your modern work! I'd be glad to chime in from the comments if there're ever interesting battle mechanics questions that end up coming up, as well!
I started watching this channel in 2008. I stopped for several years as I navigated high school and some college. It is so, so nice to come back and start Paper Mario with him again. I'm trying not to cry from the happy memories I had so many years ago.
Ahh it’s finally here! His Paper Mario LPs were the first exposure I had to his channel, so I’m super hyped for this!
Hopefully this reminds everyone of how great the series used to be, and not… whatever it’s turned into recently.
Congrats on first comment
@@Mr.Board_ no one cares that they’re first
It was my first 2008 LP that I watched of his.
This LP will be splendor
For what it’s worth, Origami king at least tries to push back on the mandates to make a good story, even if the gameplay is pretty meh.
The floating Bowser's castle in Super Circuit's Rainbow Road is a bit surprising looking back on it, as Mario RPG references in Mario Kart are rather rare from what I've seen. Other than that, there's like, Baby Peach in MK Wii?
Super Circuit was developed by Intelligent Systems after all.
It's not Mario Kart, but Mario Party 5 is run by the Seven Star Spirits from this game
I seriously go back and watch old chugga series every so often, and I could not believe my eyes when I saw an episode that was over 11 mins long! I thought maybe it was just a re-upload, but I’m very happy to see he’s revisiting this iconic game!!
Oh man here we go. I must have watched your previous paper Mario let's plays at least 3 times each. Here's to another timeless classic.
It’s crazy how far Chugga’s come since his first Paper Mario LP. It’s been awesome to see his growth and success over the years
I remember watching the original play through as a middle schooler, and now it’s being replayed. I’m so excited to watch this play through. It’s going to be awesome
It feels crazy that it's been 14 years since the original let's play. Can't wait to see this one play out.
this was my first exposure to let's playing back in 2008, and god, it feels like i'm 9 again just watching you read the intro! i have the absolute doofiest grin on my face. I can't wait to see this through both fresh eyes and with your new editing style (plus longer episodes without the youtube 10 minute limit!) Looking forward to it, Emile!
Now that the thousand year door remake has come out and it’s incredible, I feel bittersweet coming back here
I just was wondering how chuggaconroy was doing after all these years, I remember watching your paper mario series so long ago and randomly today you popped in my head again and I decided to see what you were up to wasn't expecting this, A replay of one of my favorite let's plays ever. They nostalgia is real, I gotta stick around for this. Thanks for randomly appearing on my head today
I am so happy this is back after all these years
The sound made from 19:47 - 19:59 topped of with the title card sends a wave of nostalgia through me every time.
The only Paper Mario I ever experienced was Sticker Star, purely because it was a new release on the first console I owned. (is a DS a console?) I heard the original games were much more loved in the Paper Mario community, but never got the chance to play through, or watch a play through of one. I can't express how excited I am to watch you play through this!
The muffled toad voice killed me 😂. I'm excited for this!
Insane to see this channel grow. Chugga's TTYD was the first playthrough I ever watched on youtube over a decade ago. Glad to see that one of the best playthrough channels is still going strong. Can't wait to watch this whole series!
This LP is going to be beyond epic. I’m definitely going to be replaying this again.
I was having a rough day, and this is exactly what I needed. I can't wait for more.
Chuggaa's not kidding about the soundtrack. To this day PM64's music gallery is the most magical out of all of the Paper Marios. It goes without saying that TTYD and SPM can only dream of having as good a soundtrack. Not even the complex instruments of modern Paper Mario songs have anywhere near the same level of wonder this game has.
I'm in love with the Chapter 7 stuff. The tracks from there have that mysterious vibe to them
This is so nostalgic... this is an LP I've wanted a remake of😭
Refreshing the page over and over to catch it as early as possible is worth it. The first episode of a new Let's Play is always an adventure! Maybe you'll end up convincing me to buy ANOTHER game, only time - and my poor bank account - can tell
I do that sometimes
God I watched the original LP for this and I feel INCREDIBLY NOSTALGIC
This literally could not have come at a better time. I had a really rough day and was trying to think of how to calm down when I saw that you had uploaded this. Thanks Emile for always providing such positive and wholesome content!
Your first series is one of my comfort shows, I've seen it from start to finish many times. I'm so excited to see you replay this now.
As someone that watched every Stick Star stream... this is Chugga's catharsis. His reward for enduring so much pain for charity.
It's hard to believe that your first Let's Play of this game was 14 years ago.
But it's nice to see this getting revisited with all the flair and attention that you give your newer LPs!
as somebody who has been watching and enjoying these videos as this series originally aired, I’m so happy for you Emile and I can’t wait to watch the remake project!!
Thank you chugga for making this paper mario series again. I have been hooked on al your paper mario stuff ever since I was young. All your old stuff is amazing and I still rewatch a lot of the stuff from time to time. Thank you for making my childhood.
Same here
Yesterday I turned 20 and your announcement of this LP was a great gift!
Tell your family to do better
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy belated birthday!
Late happy birthday
I’m so glad to see this series! The energy is great, and it’s already got me hooked!
The game that still makes me feel some type of way when I think about my childhood. It’s like it opened a window that has allowed me to remember life at that time in an incredibly vivid way. This and TYD are so dear to me.
This is such a comfort channel. Like you can always rely on Emile to make you feel nostalgic and safe yaknow?
Starting watching this and Sunshine LP when I was like 7 or 8. Am now 19 years old and living on my own!
This brings back so much nostalgia. I remember watching your original paper mario series as a kid years ago.
That first Paper Mario play through helped me fall in love in video games… this brings a tear to my eye
6:45 Chugga, if you're reading these, I think the last line in the letter is, "My guests hope to see you." Looks like that from a distance to me.
