The thing I love about the stationary bosses in this game is how relatable they are conceptually. Who didn't pretend that their pencils were rockets or their stapler was a vicious beast as a kid? Don't deny doing so.
People harp on the character designs in this game, but you really gotta hand it to the animators for being able to make a faceless box of colored pencils and all the other stationery so expressive.
My favorite member of the Legion of Stationary, I love the rainbow text! If each pencil missile had it's own element like fire & ice that would've made this boss truly unique.
11:02 'You were better when you were a sidescroller, man...' I see Colored Pencils was a NES player and I respect that. Everyone loves Retro Nintendo games.
Lol the one toad in the background at the start "Colored pencils...really?" I can tell the developers wish they were able to make more unique bosses for the game
I think it's pretty damn clever. It's like the game is from the POV of a kid playing with paper dolls in a caft room and pretending that office supplies are machines and monsters.
@@_Venvel is more like that, each boss in game represent forbidden items in origami, for origami you can only folding paper without altering or adding something else
I think a missile pencil case, drama kid rubber band sculpture, disco hole punch, mafioso biker tape, sadist scissors that use itself as blades and a rabid dog stapler are pretty unique. Character design isn't everything
He smashes down the box with the pencils, he pulls away the tape, he ripped off hole puncher’s stomach, and we never talk about the stapler. RIP stapler
Well it would also have kinda destroyed the gimmick and after all there not magical staffs JUST colored pencils but none the less a pretty cool idea tho I prefer the normal one.
Just wanted to say that when you use your ARMS to close the lid on phase 2, it wont work and the box will say: you cant do this when im spinning my pencils" or whatever and its a cool thing to keep away from game and irl logic
Part of me really hurts inside knowing they only gave one of the many of them an actual name and didn't bother with the rest of them. Having the object in question being a title rather than their names feels like an injustice towards what characterization the game has going for it. I may be reading way too deep in to it... But Olivia's reaction to the name and just calling it by the object felt offensive. I dunno how it comes out in the other translations, but it almost seems like a jab at people who like the idea of having character in a storybook of all things.
Better as a sidescroller? I did not know Colored Pencils was one of those die-hard classic Paper Mario fans. Does he also want Paper Mario to go back to its roots?
The missle meastro Jean Pierre Colored pencils the 12th. What! They all missed?! No that’s impossible my missles are flawless! It’s the target that’s all wrong!
So this is what happens when you give stubby arm paper mario actual arms and hands. He really gets violent ngl. Like just mentally replace the pencils in the rush attack with spears or metal rocket heads. Brutally stabbing and contorting the sentient metal being. The devs/writters really trying hard to squeeze dark imagery past miyamotto huh. At least in a way it can be masked with goofy visuals. But Jesus Mario....
so am I the only one who thinks that this part 9:14 is what Tanabe is thinking I think that's funny I could be wrong of course but I was just wonder if it is what I'm thinking
@@nekonomicon2983 jea im 13 and thought how this boss look cool more, like more humanuit with a beard made of pencils and he shoots pencils as rockets out of his mouth wearing a "cape" made of pencils and that you cant jump a pencil on the head. So nintendo why dident you did this?
Yeah I,m not a big fan of puzzle based stuff, this battle system in particaur is cool, but I,m not a puzzle person, I prefer the old 2d combat from the first 3.
Once you get the hang of the algorithms, it's really fun. It's much more of a puzzle than their previous games, but I appreciate that it can be challenging. If it were easy, what's the point?
We've reached perfection. We went from murdering a wedding planner committee in Odyssey to murdering sentient stationery.
The thing I love about the stationary bosses in this game is how relatable they are conceptually. Who didn't pretend that their pencils were rockets or their stapler was a vicious beast as a kid? Don't deny doing so.
I used to always mess with my stapler and pretend it was a animal chomping paper.
Why wasn't there markers that do the light saber thing

Mario: I'M SO GOOD AT COLORING!
People harp on the character designs in this game, but you really gotta hand it to the animators for being able to make a faceless box of colored pencils and all the other stationery so expressive.
I love how his text box sounds like a machine gun
His text looks like a rainbow and sounds like a machine gun. Perfection
Imagine a mod where the pencil case gets replaced with a 3DS and the colored pencils get replaced with styluses
Wow now that's awesome and creative
My favorite member of the Legion of Stationary, I love the rainbow text!
If each pencil missile had it's own element like fire & ice that would've made this boss truly unique.
Yeah but it’s only the second boss the elemental pencils would make it really hard
That would’ve been awesome, but I think they wanted to limit the elements to the four Vellumentals. Still cool to think about though.
While it would've been cool I kind of agree with the consensus that it would make far too difficult being the second major boss and all.
I like the elastik entertainer rubberband
I think he has rainbow text cuz its pencils who are talking
11:02 'You were better when you were a sidescroller, man...' I see Colored Pencils was a NES player and I respect that. Everyone loves Retro Nintendo games.
You said it! Retro Nintendo games are the best of the best. ‘Nuff said!
Nah, he means super paper Mario. He just never learned to flip.
SPM and TOK are the best games in the paper Mario series in my book. I HAVE SPOKEN!
TTYD
@@Akiloxa PUNS LOOOOOOOLLLLLLL
The music is so good in this game
Imagine telling someone who’s theme this song would belong to
I listen to it when I’m working out in the gym
@@JoeiDeRosa same
Lol the one toad in the background at the start "Colored pencils...really?"
I can tell the developers wish they were able to make more unique bosses for the game
In fairness, they did their damndest with what they had.
I think it's pretty damn clever. It's like the game is from the POV of a kid playing with paper dolls in a caft room and pretending that office supplies are machines and monsters.
And each of the bosses are something that can mess up paper so thematically it fits too.

1:52 Toad: ooh, that is a NICE case!
Dang, Mario got savage in the end there. XD
He smashes down the box with the pencils, he pulls away the tape, he ripped off hole puncher’s stomach, and we never talk about the stapler. RIP stapler
@@boppp1277 doggo got his jaw broken
When you realise you could've just used the 1000 fold arms instead of damaging your hammer
When you realise you could've used your hammer and damage it instead of using the 1000 fold arms which does no damage.
@sandalssuck From the heart plus accessory, if you look closely at the beginning of the fight, he has 70 HP, but it goes up to 85
You can just the regular hammer it doesn’t break
Well it would also have kinda destroyed the gimmick and after all there not magical staffs JUST colored pencils but none the less a pretty cool idea tho I prefer the normal one.
Edit sorry this was meant for something else
a litteral pencil case as a boss fight...
I think this might be the weirdest boss in all of 2020
How about a roll of tape?
Or an egotistical rubber band that can dance
Or a Dancing Hole puncher
@@jackjackson2764 *act
also sadistic scissors
🤘🏻Heavy Metal Colored pencils 🤘🏻
Just wanted to say that when you use your ARMS to close the lid on phase 2, it wont work and the box will say: you cant do this when im spinning my pencils" or whatever and its a cool thing to keep away from game and irl logic
Can confirm this.

so badass when the missiles start rotating like a gattlin gun
Better as a sidescroller? I did not know Colored Pencils was one of those die-hard classic Paper Mario fans.
Does he also want Paper Mario to go back to its roots?
I think they were referring to the 2D platformers, not the old Paper Mario games.
missles fling...people sing...hail the origami king!
The missle meastro Jean Pierre Colored pencils the 12th. What! They all missed?! No that’s impossible my missles are flawless! It’s the target that’s all wrong!
"I'll scribble you back down the staris, these colors run, you best be scared!"
Imagine how much sooner this would've ended if mario just jumped so a pencil hit and destroyed the streamer
thanks, blursed table. (we had to fight these weird coloured pencils for a challenge)
Holy Crap! I was not expecting that Finishing Move!!!
the legion of stationary are actualy what you make origami with
Jean-Pierre
Polnareff?
The first boss was a turtle and the second one is Jean-Pierre... Coincidence?
@@kono_ryu welp, mario is now a jojo reference
Jojo? What?!
Shit youre right
G-g-g-g-le gasp!
SPONGEBOB REALLY LOVES ONE OF THOSE REAL LIFE THINGS🙂
I didn’t get to see the final rush moves cuz i played hand held but damn they’re brutal 🤣🤣
00:43
This is the best scene in the bossfight ngl
How can people tell this big guy is french.
They probably go by his name.
So this is what happens when you give stubby arm paper mario actual arms and hands.
He really gets violent ngl. Like just mentally replace the pencils in the rush attack with spears or metal rocket heads. Brutally stabbing and contorting the sentient metal being.

HELP GAWD, LEMME OU-
3:27
No because I love him he's so dumb I love him
really fell from grace since part 3
The l o s bosses are the coolest
Jean Pierre Pencil-nareff.
Colored pencils?!
SPONGEBOB: DAYAYAYA😄 I LOVE COLORS🤗
so am I the only one who thinks that this part 9:14 is what Tanabe is thinking I think that's funny I could be wrong of course but I was just wonder if it is what I'm thinking
Did I just hear a fourth wall break 10:57
No, it got a pretty picture drawn on it.
😆
He's a SPM fan
Two shades of blue and green but no orange, huh?
Or Purple?
@@kirbyfan087 he have a purple
I suppose the origami craftsmen did not need a orange colored pencil
If you think about what these colored pencils were used for, it makes sense.
Would’ve been better if the finisher consisted of snapping the case in half.
Pencils used as rocket missiles
I already defeated it . Now I have to take on the rubber band boss.
I meant watere vellumental
85 max health?!?im assuming one time health boost per battle correct?
Wow
Is that a box?
Ah, yes, Mario Fighting over a Colored Soviet "Katyusha".
Wth is Color pencils doing in an origami world?
they in an art world
Why the pencils is turned into colors?
0:43 0:51
System of a down vibes
Am i the only one who absolutely hated fighting this boss?
level 4040
Pencils.....how original
It is original

Don't click read more
Where is the orange coloring pencil?
HOLY SHIT IM FIRST
I ended up deleting this game that’s how garbage this boss is
Waste of $60 then. Plus the game gets much better after chapter 1
Your own loss man I loved this game
