- thank you for watching! give a like and subscribe if you enjoyed :)
today i share and explain my favorite video game in the entire world. super paper mario, the controversial, either hate it or love it, entry in the paper mario series. and the journey of younger me contacting nintendo in an attempt to save the franchise.
there's the depth of the love story with count bleck and tippi, who find their way back to each other in the end as blumiere and timpani. along with this is the exciting adventure of going through dimensions, trying to save the world. mario, peach, and bowser fight o'chunks, mimi, and dimentio. and eventually take on mr. L. after doing so, luigi joins your team as well. the main antagonists are not the only original enemies, as the game is packed with other original characters and enemies. there is also a history of lore created for the game. and the soundtrack is also such a wonderful ost. it is truly such a unique game.
will nintendo ever go back to their roots of paper mario 64, the thousand year door, and super paper mario? the origami king was still a great game in my opinion though. and even though super paper mario is my favorite game, i do go over how the original and ttyd objectively cannot be beat gameplay wise. hence the "story-based masterpiece." sit back and enjoy the story-telling and review!

I always find it interesting watching smaller creators talking about the same things that I remember from my childhood. It genuinely feels like a glimpse back to my younger self, and how I used to make videos on old channels that never got more than several dozen views. Those were the days. Great video, keep it up, and I hope to see you grow!
it really is fascinating to hear the same things you remember from childhood coming from someone else. i appreciate your comment, thank you!
I was so traumatized by Mimi’s transformation I couldn’t play it for years and had to finish it later lmao
That was scary af lol, had me running through the whole level
when i was 5, mimi used to terrify me SO bad that i literally had to leave the room and give the controller with my dad.
we would play together through her mansion and then suddenly when she appeared i would just run out
in fact, she scared me *so* bad, i couldn't even hear her theme without feeling terrified
Finally someone else who likes this game.
you know I have existed, right? it's my favorite game ever and I have no words to explain how much I love this game
@@-Nintendude- Finally a second person who likes this game.
And a third here!
I love this game
Are there that many people that dislike this game? From what I hear most consider it the last great paper mario game before sticker star came.
i don’t think i could ever get tired of people talking about their play throughs, it’s such an interesting experience! glad we have these games in common!
I played this as a young woman and played again recently, older, a widow. My late husband passed from natural causes but if he was taken, I find I could understand where Count Bleck was coming from. I would have gone nuclear.
i am. so glad somebody shares the same sentiment i do about this game. i could not put this game down as a kid, and i myself even had some crazy idea for a sequel. even after all this time, it still holds a very special place in my heart, and even after all this time, i still think about dimentio lol. there was so much love and care put into all the backstory and lore and wordbuilding in this game. and i still listen to memory on loop some days.
It saddens me that we'll never see another Mario game with a story this deep ever again.
I miss this game lol. Super Paper Mario blew my mind as a kid and it left the largest lasting impression on me out of all the games from back then. what the hell I think this video is gonna make me cry, maybe im losing my mind lol
I can’t believe Tippi was a transformed version of an actual paper human named Lady Timpani, and I’ve look up some fan art on google and I have to say her human form looks amazing I wish they’d actually put it in the game as like some back story how Tippi got there-
It is an actual crime how few people cherish this game. It’s so so so good, and the story is the best Mario game story ever
It feels a little surreal to hear what is essentially the exact same experiences I had with SPM. It’s still my go to choice for when people ask me my favorite video game too! I always appreciate people who make these very focused retrospectives a talk about memories they have with the series.
I’ve watched most of your Nintendo videos and they are so similar to the type of content I want to make in the future. Your style and tone just sounds like the personality I’ve tried to give myself so far and hopefully do in the future.
Anyways I hope you continue to make content like this and congrats on your channel seemingly making it big recently!
it really is such a great game. and thank you! i've focused on the reddit mystery stuff to grow my channel but plan on integrating some of the nintendo stuff back in soon :)
This put into words exactly how I feel about this game, it has such an important place in my heart. Need to go replay it now
I loved this game so much as a kid and weirdly enough I never actually finished it until only a couple months ago.
I kept coming back to it and getting a little farther each time before putting it down and coming back and starting over again another time. I also had a borrowed copy as a kid (from my Great Aunt) and remember being so excited when I got a copy of my own.
I don't feel like there is any other game I have a stronger attachment too and it's so awesome to see I wasn't unique in having that connection to it.
God, I love seeing super paper Mario content, I started playing it when I was 4 with my dad, and ever since then, I’ve replayed it 5 or 6 times, I even have the Wii in my room for whenever I feel like playing, it’s truly one of my favourite games of all time, great video!
I don't think there's a single game that's informed my sense of creativity than this game. Maybe it's just the time I played it, but it completely shattered my expectations of good guys vs bad guys in a narrative. I miss the amount of nuance this game has compared to the newer games.
Super Paper Mario was also the first Paper Mario Game I played and I too love it. It's probably one of my favorite games (if it hadn't been for Ace Attorney). You described it really well and some things are really relatable, especially being stuck in the overthere as a kid. Seriously, it was just the worst. But i just love the rest of the game and as you said the story was absolutely amazing. It was literally written like an anime and not like a typical Nintendo Mario game at all. Sadly Nintendo doesn't make Mario games like these anymore because we all know how Nintendo thinks nowadays. Also the soundtrack is godlike and also very fitting and emotional, it has just the perfect soundtrack in my eyes. I also read on the Wiki that one of the composers wife or husband worked on the Origami King soundtrack, maybe that's the reason why both of those OSTs are just perfect.
yes the overthere still gets on my nerves haha! but yeah, nintendo doesn't make games like this anymore and it's unfortunate. this game really is just unlike anything else. however i was pretty pleased with origami king, and like you said the soundtrack for that game seriously is wonderful. appreciate the comment!
@@sombertoboggly Yeah origami king was pretty decent and the people also seem to like it more than the previous two games. i still would've preferred something like the first three games but it still did fairly well. Aside from the soundtrack I also found the battle system interesting, especially the boss battles, and the locations. the locations were unique and UNBELIEVABLY beautiful. the only thing I absolutely hate about this game is that you NEED TO PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT DYING AND WITHOUT USING ANY BADGES TO TRULY 100% THE GAME AND IT DOESN'T SAY THAT AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME, and the funny thing is that there is one point in the game where you have to decide where you want to go next and if you choose the wrong way YOU GET EATEN BY A CHAIN CHOMP AND THEREFORE AN INSTANT GAME OVER WITHOUT ANY WAY TO TELL WHICH PATH IS THE CORRECT ONE. or maybe I was just dumb xd, but I really don't know what I had to look for.
@@Phoenix_Wrong i actually enjoyed the boss battles! they were a bit strange to adjust to at first but as the game went on i got more and more into it. i agree on the locations, i especially loved. i remember the shogun part being one of my favorite moments in the game. but yeah haha it is ridiculous how that's require to 100% it
I really loved this game as a kid. I remember spending many hours on it and getting deep into the story and the world of the game.
Super Paper Mario was one of my first ever video games, alongside Mario Galaxy and the classic mario games. I first played it before I’d properly learned to read, so my dad had to read me the dialogue, since there’s a lot of it. I’ve replayed it lots since then and came to appreciate it more and more. When you described how you were finally able to appreciate the story, I completely understood that. Like you, I loved the game before I understood the story, and even more now I do. I miss the days of complex storytelling and crazy characters in Mario games and I hope they’ll go back to them someday.
Even though I''m not a fan of Mario games, Super paper Mario was one of the games that left me with the strongest impressions, I loved and still love everything about it to this day (probably because I love story-based games the most,Omori being my favourite game of all times). I'm glad to see that some people have the same feelings as me about this game.
Everyone says how the amount of new things almost makes it to where SPM doesn’t feel like a Mario game, but to me, weird, kooky new things is just part of Mario adventures (or at least, it should be). Super Paper Mario is the best game ever made!
My first Wii game I got. Still love it to this day. Also never finished it lol. I plan to eventually.
That was a great deep dive into your memories and experiences with the game.
SPM was such a pivotal game for so many people. It holds up even without the nostalgia imo. The fact that child you made a phone call to describe your sequel idea to Nintendo is adorable. Lovely video.
This one goes on the shelf with Portal/Portal 2 as a flawless game.
it definitely does hold up without the nostalgia, especially regarding the story part of it. but the nostalgia makes it an even better game. glad you found it adorable instead of stalkerish hahaha. thanks so much! really appreciate the comment :)
@@sombertoboggly small creators gotta stick together 😎 fr though if you never played Portal, get on that
@@Optimal60 yeah they do 😎 and i actually never have but it always has been something i've wanted to play, so i'm sure i will eventually!
@@sombertoboggly Portal 1 is like 3 dollars on steam and it will live in your brain rent-free for the rest of your life. The story is beyond words. Do your soul a favor and take the risk on a new title TODAY, asap, the MINUTE you have the time. It doesn’t take very long to play, too
@@Optimal60 i seriously do enjoy the kinds of games that just leave an impression on and stick with you so i guess i really do need to get on that. i definitely have the time to play through it so thank you the convincing pitch
I never thought I’d find someone else that has the same love for this game. I discovered it when I was around 8. My grandfather had bought it for me, and I’ve played it all the way through every year since 2013. It’s really an incredible game in so many ways.
as someone who’s mostly only played mario games all my life i LOVEEEE this
Super Paper Mario has been one of the first memorable games I've played myself as well. I think I've managed to finish it at 10 to 11 years old as well, but I did get stuck at the prison part for a while. I remember thinking Dimentio was the coolest villain I had ever seen.
Up to this day, I think I can safely say that I think this game is in my top 3 favourite Mario games, together with the original Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
As a kid, me and my friend got stuck in world 3 and never made it past that lol. Yeats later(I was very young, still in 4th grade lol) another friend randomly mentioned the game, and I remembered that I never beat it. So I went back and did finally beat it, but you better believe 4th grade me was just skipping most of the dialogue lol. And besides, romance stories are just considered cringe by children. Quite a few years later I replayed it (I was going on a huge spree of just revisiting old Wii games of mine), and it quickly became my favorite game. The story is amazing, the visuals are great, there’s some humor and life injected into he main Mario cast, and Peach was more than just someone who needed saving. It truly is a one of a kind deal, and I highly doubt Nintendo will ever make a game like it again. But it really, really is something special.
i didn't get stuck in chapter 3 but i do remember being so close to dying without any items to replenish my hp so i ended up hitting a koopa shell over and over again to level up so i wouldn't die hahaha. and yeah i skipped over pretty much all the dialogue until i was 11ish. but it truly is such a special game, holds more charm than any nintendo game in my opinion. but a whole lot of older games (late 90s and early 00s are my favorite) are just great. it sucks they don't make games like this anymore. appreciate the comment!
@@sombertoboggly older games really are the ones where it’s at, especially concerning Nintendo. As I mentioned, I was revisiting plenty of my Wii games and not just SPM, and I was surprised by how well some of them held up, and how much more I could appreciate them. Mario Galaxy was great, and still much better than the second overall to me(you can actually see how original stories were beginning to go away with Galaxy 2, still mad Rosalina was only at the end) simply because Rosalina and her family of lumas gave the player such a motive to actually beat Bowser. There are some other great games too like Epic Mickey(if you don’t know what that is, I highly recommend picking it up. It was my favorite game before I revisited SPM), which modern day Disney would never be bold enough to create. Maybe one day we’ll see Nintendo tolerate a good story, but I doubt it.
Ask I got stuck in world 3 because my stupid brain couldn’t figure out the puzzle where you had to ground pound in the underwater level. I figured it out instantly this time around, made me cringe at how oblivious my younger self was lol
@@MCA_Critic i've never played epic mickey i'll have to check it out sometime thanks! i honestly used to use my wii more for gamecube games but my recent wii game kick has been the guitar heros that are on the wii. a simple but fun game to just practice and get really good at lol
I’m also about your age and loved this game as a kid. It’s one of the first games that really made my lifelong obsession with rpg and rpg-like games take hold
As a person who never really did the Mario thing, this video makes me extremely interested in this game. Another great video! I can see you becoming a much bigger UA-camr, hope I can be one of the O.G.s haha
glad to hear that you think i made the video interesting for you considering you've never been into mario, thanks so much for watching! and if i ever get bigger you'll for sure be one of the OGs hahaha
Super Paper Mario is a very interesting blend of RPG elements and the Mario platforming style, I highly recommend it
thank you for this, never felt so related with someone regarding to how i feel about this game, literally is a magnus opus and they way the paper mario community ignores the big potential it has
The jester villain character, I love their colour scheme (enby flag ftw)
I heard so many SPM OST references in your videos that I knew it wasn’t a coincidence and you definitely were a fan, so I was so excited when I found this video because I enjoy your content a lot! I also played this game when I was 7. I’m 18 now, and this game still means everything to me (quite literally, as it became my autistic special interest). Anyways, this is a great video! I resonated so much with it. This is such an amazing game and deserves much more appreciation. Here’s hoping for the SPM Switch port LMAO
Super Paper Mario is definitely interesting for a Mario game, and especially so for a Paper Mario game, it has this surprisingly deep story dealing with concepts like the inevitability of death, the horror of knowing the future, the tragedy of a lost love, this is a story you'd expect to see in an rpg, but, as an entry in what has been up to this point, a series of rpg games, well, a series of two games, this one is just a platformer. When would you ever expect a kind of story like this in a Mario game? It's pretty out of of left field for a series about two italian plumbers rescuing a princess from a fire-breathing turtle. I liked Super Paper Mario, too, and the story definitely stuck with me when I first played through it back when I was twelve, but the original Paper Mario has always been my favorite, I have such great memories playing through it with my dad and my sister when I was little. Thanks for the video, it's cool to hear someone's experience with this game.
Aww man this game brings me so much memories. Used to love it so much I played it 3 times. I remember always getting scared of those Underhand enemies as a kid when swimming in the water.
yes the hand enemies were so scary haha!
this was literally my childhood, too. platformers were really the only games i was familiar with at the time, and super paper mario was such a surprise to play. i remember hating how long the cutscenes were at the time, lol. and me being a brainless "get from point a to b" platformer kid, i only made it to around, say, not far past Mimi's mansion. i think i picked it up a few years later and got slightly farther, but i specifically remember repeatedly ragequitting at that one tree level. you know the one, and it wasn't until less than a year i ago i finally went and finished the game... it felt so strange to play more new parts of a game i had so much nostalgia for, and JESUS CHRIST WHY DID I GO AND DECIDE TO BEAT THE FLOPSIDE PIT OF TRIALS OH GOD PLEASE NEVER AGAIN AAAAA-
(anyways love the video, hope your channel grows because you make pretty high quality content!)
dude the tree lmao. that part still will frustrate me but can't help but love the game anyways. i actually never beat the flopside pit! i think the last time i tried was around 3 years ago though. and thank you :)
I have really fond memories of playing this game with my little brother 💜 looking back I am absolutely obsessed with the character design in this game. It is so unique and fun to look at.
I got this for christmas when i was 7, i remember sneak staying up till 2 am playing it
This love letter of a video is so pleasant to find, honestly im glad this appeared in my recommended out of nowhere and im genuinely happy to hear you talk so passionately about this game, i loved this game when i was like 8 or 9 and i played this through multiple times also hating the cloud area. its just nice to find people also feeling nostalgic. i didnt love this game as much as you but i appreciate the love you have for the series and that passion is how i personally feel towards the pokemon mystery dungeon series as red rescue team was my first ever pokemon game
honestly, I wish I could erase my memory too, just to go through all the joy I had when playing it...
Super Paper Mario was the first Paper Mario game I ever played and I absolutely loved it. The 3D flip gimmick was my favorite mechanic in all of gaming for a long while! I definitely got stuck a lot and I don't think I was able to make it much farther than just past Luigi joining up before the disc stopped reading. I really should go back and finish playing it.
I love the content that you're making, these obscure media/ nintendo videos are literally my taste. Hope your channel keeps growing!!
thank you! i'm going to start trying to weave some of the nintendo stuff back in along with all the reddit videos soon :)
@@sombertoboggly I'll be looking for it 🤸
when i first played this game i couldnt even get past the first battle with o'chunks haha
it's really cool to see other people who like this game, though!! its not one you hear about often which is surprising for a mario game, and not one you really hear about POSITIVELY often, either, which is... [glances over at sticker star] a little less surprising for a mario game but very surprising for THIS mario game specifically. i'm not normal about it at all and even though i missed out on a good chunk of that whole childhood nostalgia by failing to clear the first full chapter, it sticks with me a lot since my first full playthrough
the main thing i remember from playing it as a kid was that the void absolutely terrified me and i think i wouldve lost my mind if i had gotten to a point where you actually see the void grow i think i would have cried.
This game was my childhood. I absolutely loved the story and I loved playing it with my brother. Super paper mario shaped what kind of games I like to play today and led me to discover a community that liked the same things as I did. And while I cringe when looking back at my weird Mr L simp phase I had when I was 6/7 it does bring back loads of memories about my interactions with the fandom at the time. It's glad to see someone else who has the same relationship with the game as I do.
Super Paper Mario was my childhood game, and I love it to this day.
I never actually played this game until recently, but it is still very nostalgic to me. This is because one of the first things I ever watched on UA-cam was a playthrough of this game by someone I don't quite remember the name of. I'm gonna find out who it was.
I resonated with this video so much. I first played this in 2014, (when I was 14) and absolutely adoring it. Honestly, Dimentio still remains my favorite villain in all of fiction. Something about that character just speaks to me on every level.
thanks for the awesome videos Kylie you do such a wonderful job you're the best stay safe 💙
bounding through time might be my favorite song from the ost
can't remember if i say it in the video haha but castle bleck might be mine. extremely hard to choose though cause they're all so good
The ending to this game is a tearjerker
for real
I love getting to tell friends that you go to hell and all the way up to heaven in the silly Mario game
i LOVED this game it was like the only paper mario i ever got to complete
As someone who has unfortunately endured the agony that is working at the Nintendo call center, I just want you to know that the message you left was absolutely a bright light in someone's otherwise awful day.
aw lol well it's really nice to know that, sorry to hear that working there sucked though!
goddd i grew up around the same time and i couldnt put my affection for this game better than you have. it's truly such a special game
I can't get enough of this game, its also my favorite. Sometimes I waver a bit and say TTYD is my favorite, as I played it first and has better gameplay and all that but.. nah I always turn back to SPM ^^
I'm really more interested in games as a way to deliver stories and while TTYD's story and chapters were all awesome SPM just takes the cake
For me what makes it so charming is how... random everything feels? I dont know how to explain it, but I like how the story is supposed to be emotional, but the best parts are the ones who feels more like fanfic shitpost (like the fight in the bathroom to discover who is the real Merlee)
I'm late to this video but am glad to have found someone discuss such relatable feelings. I curse my stupid teenage self for getting rid of all my gamecube and Wii games and rendering myself unable to play this game and thousand year door again.
I enjoyed this game as well. I thought the music was excellent! My favorite game ever is probably Paper Mario 64, my sister and I have played it countless times growing up and still do to this day!
This is the first video I discovered on your channel, and I love your editing style and passionate fangirl approach to describing the game! Hope you'll keep up the good work!
Also, are you pumped for the Thousand-Year Door remake?
thank you! i'm pleasantly surprised to hear you found the channel through this video, i think it's my least viewed one but i put a lot of passion into it :) and yes i was super happy with the ttyd remake news! i don't know if i'm going to buy it right away though since i have the gamecube one. but i'm definitely going to get the rpg remake since i don't have the original
Well, I'm no expert on the algorthym, but UA-cam knows that I love Paper Mario, so it probably considered your video to fit that criteria. Actually, I looked through the rest of your videos shortly after watching this one, and this is by-far the most interesting-looking from a glance! Hopefully you'll pour your passion into similar retrospectives going forward!
As for the Thousand-Year Door remake, I can respect the idea of holding off on re-buying a game you already own, but you might want to consider making an exception for this, as, if this sells, this might convince Nintendo that we need more games like this, and that Paper Mario 2 is actually phenomenal! Who knows? Maybe they'll go even further and give us *more* GameCube games if we convey to them that their cube-shaped failure is actually a success to the fans.
love it when people talk about this game
This game is purely magical, and no i don't mean Dimentio's magic or anything included in the story, magical spells were cast on this game to come up with everything it offers. They paid a very expensive price to create it, but it never got the recognition it deserved...
hey read all your comments! it really is a magical game, that's a good way go put it. but yeah i agree that it's super short and wish it could've been longer. i can blast right through it haha. i think around thousand year door length would have been nice, it took me longer to finish compared to paper mario 64 and super. and i've actually never played either of the dying light games, i'll have to eventually give them a try, thank you!
This game has aged SHOCKINGLY well tbh. It was weirdly ahead of its time for a mario game.
The world DID actually look different! The lenses on your eyes yellow as you age, meaning some light is reflected before it hits your rods and cones and so essentially your vision becomes much less saturated by the time you turn 10 or so
I agree tha the other paper mario games just aren't the same for me as someone whos first paper mario was super paper mario
this was my childhood favorite game (until minecraft). Since it was single player whichever one of us siblings was playing it would be watched by the other two. we got stuck for a while on the part where you have to burn the bark of the tree with bowsers fire to get to the door behind it, eventually we just looked up how chuggaconroy did it
I loved this game
I need a new copy of the game though but I might replay it one day
This is still one of my favorite games ever
While Return to Dreamland & Planet Robotbot from kirby is my new favorite game(s)
Super Paper Marios Story & Lore I wish the Kirby lore had alot more than usual
If not a Kirby RPG spinoff series
super paper mario is also my favorite!!!! i agree with this video on so many levels. :)
maybe its just nostalgia but SPM is probably still one of my favourite games of all time.
also love bowser's cheesy dialogue they wrote him really well in this game lol
idk what it is about this game but i grew up playing the wii aswell and this was byfar the best game on there. it was a simple story for a kid to understand and love. what made it so great is how there were challenges for everyone in the game. everywhere you went everyone faced a crisis and everyone needed to come together to stop it. even count bleck faced many challenges too which i think is what made this game so great. 2 sides trying to stop eachother but they eventually see what is right and what needs to be done. everything is amazing about this game the characters and their development, and the music truly brings on a different atmosphere at times. but whats sad is nintendo wanted the story to end. they made an amazing game that i still love to this day and they intended for there to never be a sequel from the start. but the ending feels so empty
And yes, despite the fact that I played other awesome games (on the ps4 too), there was NEVER such thing like super paper mario. It remains the best game ever for me, although it's way too short. It's a perfect game for children, cuz time tends to pass quicker the older you are. I never realised how short wii games are in relation to gta v or something like that, until I played them again. Besides, Gta v doesn't even come close to being such a masterpiece as this game was! It is absolutely FILLED with riddles, and I love this
Also, I do still kinda wanna see how a Super Paper Mario 2 would work on the switch or maybe even a remastered version of the original but unfortunately, it's highly unlikely.
Going off of the nostalgia aspect, I remember as a kid I was told I could get Super Mario Galaxy 2 after beating Galaxy 1. Well, when I finally beat it, I was hit with the disappointing news that it was too expensive at the time, but I could still get a game. My Mom saw this one and suggested it.
BEST.
DISAPPOINMENT.
EVER.
Yes! My favorite Mario game.
love this game, although I never finished it
as I kid I originally stopped playing it because of the first Mimi boss fight, then years later I picked it up again and got stuck on the final Mimi boss fight...
I never finished this game. I kinda wanna replay it now after watching this but I'm afraid I won't love it as much as I did in the past. I stopped on chapter 5 of the game.
even though i like it, the general consensus is that chapter 5 is one of the weaker chapters. i'd recommend giving it a try again though if you really feel like it! worst case it isn't as good as you remember but on the other hand you could still love it
I’ve been looking for a retrospective of this game. I don’t have a wii right now and I’ve never finished the game but I plan to.
you definitely should if you ever get the chance. the game has its weak points but the story and atmosphere make it well worthwhile in my opinion! which is also why i think finishing the game might make people enjoy it more.
@@sombertoboggly I’ve been looking for a wii at a decent price so I can! Someday soon
"This whole dynamic is inane and toxic as shit?" I mean, yeah.... he's the villain?
I'm curious if you've played Super Mario RPG; its another somewhat out there setting with an interesting mix of traditional Mario elements and classical RPG tropes, story included.
mario rpg is pretty much the spiritual predecessor of the paper mario franchise! but i've unfortunately never actually played it myself. i do have an SNES but the game seems to go for a lot these days. i'll play it eventually though!
@@sombertoboggly Definitely worth going through at least once; the combat and badges aren't as evolved as Paper Mario's but the art style, music, & oddly natural "Mario by way of classic Final Fantasy" tone are all stand out.
This is my favorite game ever
Omg I also had a wii u but in my case I wanted to play the new zelda (later to become botw) that was announced in that old ass trailer where link fought a gigant spider, I ended up getting wind waker HD a year after I got the console XD
annnd in case you haven't played dying light 2 on the ps4, you are missing out. Okay not really, it's a very brutal game, but it's reaaaaally fun to play. Trust me.
4:38 ain’t no original experience 😭; also did that with my favorite game
Girl I drunk emailed Disney to rerelease the Disney Sega games like Lion king and such. They deadass responded and they did like a few months later. Email them!!!
My favorite aspect of the game is just the incredibly weird soundtrack
Its not bad but it just sounds so goffy and alien
4:54 XD
solid game
This was also my first paper mario game and i do love it not very hard but still good although that stupid world of nothing theme i hate it it tries to be creppy but its just so irritating all sorts of rigning and banging makes it hurt so much
Bro classic super paper Mario now I gut paper Mario origami king epic game too lol
Classic Luigi Mr L!?
This is a game I both love and really dislike. I got 2 copies of this game once when I was very young maybe 3rd grade and the 2nd time around 7th or 8th grade. I liked it enough to get a second copy a few years after something happened maybe it got scratched or I lost it. But I still couldn’t bring myself to play it getting stuck several times throughout the game. 3 major ones the first being at the door to the first boss because of the game’s bad mechanics of revealing things by switching from 2d to 3D and revealing things by pointing the wii remote. The second time was at the mansion in which you need to grind out rubys. This was the one I was stuck in when I lost the first copy. I basically hated the game from that point since turning the game on would make me start that grinding process and get bored out of my mind before I did anything. After getting the second copy I used the Internet to get me all the way to hell in which you need to find Luigi with the stupid pointing mechanic again that hadn’t been used for a long time. I only found out about him actually being down there after having sold my Wii U looking the game up on UA-cam. There was still so much I liked about it how Mario looked like and the way the levels would start with the blanc screen being painted in and of course the writing whenever I stopped skipping it.
