This is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door!
The game everyone loves and loves to tell you about how much they love it. If you've been here for a while you might have noticed we like it quite a bit too. Though usually our playthroughs are some kind of challenge run where we skip all text to get to the gameplay. BUT NOT THIS TIME!
This playthrough is part of our out of order conquest to casually relive all Paper Mario games, together with my co-comm Lenny! Just in time for the remake to get a good feel of what's changed from a more casual perspective!
Like usual; if there's any cool secrets, obscure or funny dialogue and details you know about, be sure to tell us in the comments or on Discord. I know a lot about this game, but I don't know literally everything! Also I might just forget certain things.

"You can't pull it out" - Goombella
"This is a hyper-vision. It's basically a wolf that uses movement orders."
No it's a hyper slit
The first thing that scared me I'm pretty sure was eely-mouth in sunshine. I also remember that when it was time to fight Smorg in this game I had to mute the TV because I was afraid SPECIFICALLY of the music for some reason
It does use loud peaks, like something is wrong with the train and or the horde, which is true.
If Smorg wasn’t made of goofy little fuzzballs it would be scary.
Eely Mouth and the Manta Storm in Sunshine were really intimidating to me. The Manta Storm I just associated with pure stress because of the sheer chaos and how you can get bounced around all over the place
The piano in SM64 frightened me as a kid. Ghost Houses in Super Mario World also were really scary to me as a kid, with the spooky music.
I love the running joke of "Immune to fire and explosions monster AHHH." Though it's a shame even Fatguy has forgotten old man skoo :(
Never Ever forget old man skoo!
The Majora's Mask opening sequence. When I first got a Wii, Majora's Mask was one of the first games I downloaded from the Eshop and everything from the mask inexplicably rotating towards you to that final shot of Skull Kid staring at the moon as his theme plays, I was both scared and immediately HAD to play that game.
The first things that ever scared me in a video game were some parts of Chapter 4 from TTYD (like seeing the triplets' mom being turned into a pig after not giving her food, or Doopliss as Mario with his creepy hunched pose ambushing you and the music violently changing to his theme), SPM's River Twygz, and Epic Mickey with its general esthetic of abandoned theme park areas and animatronics, even the friendly animatronics creeped me out as a kid.
The first scary video game experience for me was fighting Bowser in Super Mario Bros. for the first time, it was mostly just the way his sprite looks, even today it looks a little unnerving to me.
Here’s a fun fact that everyone must know: Merlee spell+Amayzee Dayzee = Starpoints Galore with the right timing
Petrified wood in the well.
4 years old, I played Halo CE. Elites scared the crap out of me. It took me several different attempts to work up the courage to fight them.
Then I got to The Flood, and after that introduction cutscene, saw them bust down metals door to get me.....
The first thing and at the same time the thing that has scared me the most playing video games is Wizpig from Diddky King Racing. Ok so kinda long story, I was 3-4 years old and it was one of the first games I ever played, during the opening scene in story mode I was already scared by the thunder and loud music but it quickly got calmed down once the happy music started. I go through story mode and struggle to no end vs silver coin challenges. The more amulets I got the scarier the rock head became as it got flesh and looked unnatural and real. Finally after getting the last amulet you get a quick scene of Wizpigs head coming to life and that made me feel real fear as I dreaded what was next. After a very long deliberation I have enough guts to enter his head and see what awaits me and oh boy I was not ready at all. The loud booming Wizpig theme, the roaring thunder in the dark skies, and the huge scary Wizpig and his boisterous laugh. I bolted out of the room crying from the sheer fear I felt and I couldn’t bare to finish seeing the cutscene, I was beyond terrified and it took me months to get over it and come to grips with it or else I would bolt out again. Not to mention after staying past the cutscene I had to do the hardest track in the game and that I’ve ever played in my life against Wizpig (no joke it’s hard af for non gamers and average players) losing over and over again, meaning rewatching the scary cutscene again and again. Honestly looking back I don’t even remember how I beat him or how I felt about it, all I know is I was still scared of him given what happens in the credits when he raids the party and leaves. Yet despite all that it’s still one of my all time favorite games, my favorite racing level is in fact here after you beat Wizpig the first time and go to space later. Darkmoon Caverns is such a good level, the most banging soundtrack in the game, the cool loop de loops, and a constant wave of things that lead to an interactive race. What’s funnier is I wasn’t nearly as afraid of the second Wizpig race as I was from the first one, I was still pretty darn scared, but I was more brave and more skilled than before and so the second race took less time to beat. But yeah nothing has scared me more than Wizpig ever, the giant evil wizard pig from space Lmao.
The first video game thing to really scare me would have to be Big Boo's Haunt. And not just the piano, it really was a big build up to that point.
Let me explain:
So I was like 9 or 10 playing Mario 64 DS and as soon as I start the game I was already off-put by the lack of music in the Castle Grounds. That wasn't normal in any other Mario game and Bowser's Message and laughter also freaked me out a bit, because of how unusual it sounded to me but after that things were going well. I get some stars, I rescue Mario, all that jazz.
Then a Boo randomly appears in the hallway to the courtyard and I was already confused, like what's an enemy doing in the hub world? Then that thing let's out it's high pitched gremlin laugh which just sounded so wrong to me because I'd played a ton of New Super Mario Bros and Luigi's Mansion 2 and was used to their cute little giggle from those games. I go outside and the place is just infested with Boos. A type of enemy which is *completely* *invincible* in any other game. I didn't know what to do at first but then thought maybe Yoshi could eat them? Nope!
Eventually I try defeating them with Mario and I was surprised that worked. But sweet, I got a new Level to play let's jump in. And then I heard it. The God damn *music* . No creepy but goofy melody, no elegant Walz just a dead wind like drone. It genuinely terrified me because usually Mario games don't try to be actually scary and this was just so wrong. Then I go inside and get jumpscared by the Piano and immediately turned my game off.
I avoided that stage like the plauge for a while but eventually went back to it when I realized I needed Luigi to unlock Wario and I instinctively knew he had to be in that stage.
So yeah, that was the first real pants shitting moment I had playing a game.
The only gaming moment i can remember as of right now that "scared" me was in this chapter. Its when you tell "Mario" his name. And the face he makes freaked me out. That whole sequence was unsettling.
Mad Monster Mansion in Banjo-Kazooie, I was to scared to walk through the graveyard, especially when the tombstones came to life and started to chase me so i never even entered the level
The room with the dead parasite queen right at the beginning of Metroid Prime. I couldn't get past it without someone else in the room with me as a kid
Bowser's body from Mario & Luigi RPG 3 creeped me out in general.
Even though it's really cartoony, it is kinda gross how you have to walk on organs and bones.
The first videogame thing that I was scared of was leaving Goomba Village in Paper Mario 64 because there were enemies (Needless to say, this was the first videogame I played in my entire life)
The first game thing that spooked me was Bowser in Mario 64 when I was small- gave me actual nightmares, lmao, but also started me down the path of wanting horror in my life as I grew c:
Thing I was scared of: Bowser in Mario Party 8, or more particularly, his music, especially in the Boo and Shy Guy boards, because when you land on the Bowser Spaces in those games, the music keeps playing instead of the normal background music, and it was genuinely scary to me back then. Dunno why.
Eely Mouth Dentist in the depths of Noki Bay.
The question at the end made me search up about a game I haven't seen in almost 20 years. It's called "Labyrinth plus". A game where you move a board to move a marble around in a way where it doesn't fall into one of the many holes. There are powerups in that game, one of the powerup makes you able to go through walls but makes a ghost laughing noise when picked up which scared me too much to progress. Yes, I was very young when I played said game.
the buzzy / tornado jump theory is crazy n i never thought of it before
Don’t recall which was first, but…
-SPM: The 2-4 Mimi sequence. Still terrifies me today.
-Also SPM: 6-4 River Twygz Bed. In particular, the Underhands…
-M&L BIS: The Energy Hold. The combination of the music, the vast maze, the Napse jumpscare…
I actually enjoy The Path To Secrets a lot now. One of the soundtracks that I got scared of turned to one I find relaxing.
26:10 Well, the first thing that came to mind was some educational game. There was a fiercesome, 2-frame, looping animation of a T-rex and it was so scary I had to ask my bigger sister to make it go to the triceratops so I could continue.
But on a more relatable note: The Sims also was incredibly cursed. Didn't help that my self-insert's son both got upside-down head syndrome (look it up!) and then died of guinea pig disease.
11:20 It's a long shot, but imagine if they made hammer throw act like a secondary hammer command and let you throw some of the status hammers for a few extra bp.
like making the hammer being thrown just like a 'state change' for the hammer while throw is equipped? i would love that. wouldnt apply to stuff like fire drive though, i imagine and that might cause programming struggles
2:45 So much so that sometimes I end up thinking there are Star Pieces even behind pipes that don't hide them.
3:52 Unfortunately couldn't find this tattle in Japanese to confirm it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the "might" had been added by the localization.
7:44 The Gold Star explicitely has Power Lift in the story as mentioned, but it's worth mentioning that most if not all the other Crystal Stars are also thematic to their respective chapters: the Emerald Star has Clock Out almost surely because of the time bomb while the Diamond Star has Earth Tremor probably because Hooktail would cause "earthquakes" since she's a giant dragon.
13:24 Ah, a classic Goomstar Temple - I mean, Crystal Palace - mechanic!
17:01 Big Marin (from Link's Awakening) energy here.
20:35 My guess is that there are so many enemies here because it's related to that technique needed to do what Goombella mentioned in her tattle of this room.
21:47 Ah, that would make sense although not only it doesn't completely invalidate my theory, but also such Buzzy Beetle behavior might just be a remnant of how they acted in Paper Mario 64 as mentioned.
24:28 Because that's their New Super Mario Bros. look and even in previous mainline games they were scary even though more ambiguously so due to hardware limitations.
26:16 Maybe the eel in 64, although I'm not completely sure as there might've been something that I'm forgetting before that in one of the NES games I had thanks to my siblings.
Video game thing that genuinely scared me was going down River Twigz from Super, I was playing it at night by myself too
Despite Mario 64 being the first game I've ever played myself, I don't remember being all that creeped out by Big Boo's Haunt, let alone the piano. I just thought it was a cool spooky location and a great introduction to my favorite Mario enemy: the Boos. Unagi, however, actually did intimidate me enough to not get its star for the longest time.
The first game that DID actually freak me out quite a lot was surprisingly enough Kirby 64, especially during the final stretch starting from the Shiver Star factory. I mean, where do I even begin? The weird creatures floating in containers? The entirety of Ripple Star's second stage and that oppressive music making me wanna get out as soon as possible? The intensity of Miracle Matter's battle? Getting 02's card and hearing its music in the sound test way before fighting it, not knowing what the hell I was even looking at or listening to? Seeing "Tough it Out" replace "Try Again" when I actually accessed that fight for the first time? (Also blood.) Also my first exposure to characters like Waddle Dee and Dedede being them getting possessed by this eldritch mass that engulfed an entire planet at the opening cutscene.
But honestly the thing that really put me over the edge was the bad ending where the Fairy Queen gives an evil look at the camera unbeknownst to Ribbon. I mean, looking at it now, the expression isn't really all that unnerving, but it was my first time experiencing a sort of fourth wall break at any capacity. Between that, the eerie jingle and it just moving right into credits made me not want to even be in the same ROOM whenever I showed that cutscene to people, it was THAT unnerving to me.
So yeah, hell of a way to introduce me to Kirby, but that unexpected and somewhat abstract horror with that cute exterior is really a major part of why it's one of my favorite franchises, with The Crystal Shards being a major formative experience in general.
The music in Mt. Moon in the original Pokemon games scared me as a kid for some reason. Not even Lavender Town (that was also creepy to me though)
I somehow got scared of Bowser in Mario Party 3. Not sure why, but when I was younger, I ran out of the room and waited until it was over.
You know those ghosts from Sonic Adventure 2? Yeah... They freaking traumatized me as a kid...
As far as I know, Buzzy Beetles were only cute because that's how they appeared in SMW. They changed them to be more inline with the main series during sticker star as with everything else. SMB1 and SMB3's buzzy sprites share more resemblance to their now streamlined designs.
As for 1st video game fear, I want to say Cosmic Clones in SMG2. It could be Mimi depending on if I played SPM first.
For me it goes to either Boolossus or Phantamanta, both bosses scared the hell out of me as a kid. One time I also replayed Luigi's Mansion in a single sitting as a kid and got nightmares that night lmao
The first thing that scared me in a video game was the Lunge Fish in world 3-7 of Yoshi's Island. The way they just suddenly popped up and ate Yoshi whole made me shut off the game and not wanna play it again for days
first thing that scared me a lot as a kid was the NINTENDO opening of Luigi's Mansion
The first thing that scared me was the first hallway in area 2 of luigis mansion. I heard mr glubs (i think thats his name?) eating and saw the butlers candlestick floating and thought it was making the noise. And i just never wanted to approach it so i never got very far in that game :(
I was scared of The River Twygs music, but there must have been something earlier.
Banette was pretty frightening. Diamond Pearl sprite.
Y'know what, I can't really remember a time that I was actually scared enough by a video game to not play it.
I think my first time being genuinely unnerved in a game, however, was Ravenholm in Half-Life 2.
I don't remember which I saw first as I basically got all the games at the same time, but the thing that scared me most as a kid was SA-X in in Metroid Fusion or the beetles in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle when Rouge infiltrated the pyramid. There was a third thing it could have been, but I forgot it mid comment so whatever it was couldn't have scared me that bad
The first scary thing in a game for me was in Luigi’s Mansion, remember being spooked by Chauncey and then not being able to go past the horizontal hall of Area 2 hallway bc i heard the dancing guys or something, i guess its bc my childhood friends were telling spooky stuff at that time or something about the game, which was fake, so small me got scared
A lot of N64 games had at least something I was scared of as a kid, including Paper Mario. My first N64 game being SM64 though... Eel, it was the eel, I wanted nowhere near that thing. Sure the mad piano scared me too, but that was more for jump scare factor reasons.
The first thing I can remember being scared of as a kid was Samus’ ship in zero mission. As a kid I assumed it was how I got to the final boss for some reason I don’t remember. But I never went into it until the first escape sequence. In terms of horror, my first scare would be the SA-X in Metroid fusion.
The ghost mission in the PS1 Rugrats game.
The first thing that scared me in a video game… I don’t recall the first thing to genuinely scare me. It could be that it was when I was 10 and played until dawn with my big brother.
But I guess you could say the first time a game triggered my anxiety was when I played Mario… bros ds? I think? Anyways I got eaten in an underwater level by a fish and that’s like one of my worst nightmares ever. I still get shivers everytime something tries to eat me / a character I play and I’m terrified of everything under water to the point where I can’t see, smell or eat fish because it disgusts me and fills me with the anxiety 🤣 I mean the fear of underwater death and fish didn’t come from Video games but the video game hardtriggered that anxiety.
Funnily enough I am able to just… not get bothered by underwater games, drowning in games etc. by now. But sometimes, not often I still get incredibly strong shivers and my heartrate increases rapidly.
Actually the reason I’ve never finished MM by myself. I always get to the pirate bastion there and I can’t beat the water dungeon. Last time I’ve tried is a couple of years back though. I probably should just finish it now with my skill to kind of suppress my fear.
The boss will be tough though🤣
Majoras mask still is an insanely good game though and I absolutely love it.
I was really creeped out by like... Eyes in a "Where's my Water" ripoff on Cool math Games
23:53 LOL that got me
my first big game scare as a kid was actually in this game! I was so terrified of hooktail! I was too scared to even go in, after all there is a giant dragon that literally eats people in there! I wound up crying to a friend to have them help me beat it. they went in, I saw how much of a chump she was and I had a really big moment of growth there. I psyched myself up so much! for the FIRST CHAPTER BOSS!
I remember just doing everything else in the game for a while, (what little i could at the time lol) and I remember being VERY cranky that Zess.T STILL didn't have her contact lens! I'd been farting around doing nothing for at least 2 weeks by then!
(this was before I knew how like...games worked, and it turned out all I needed to get past Zess.T was beating a chump dragon x.x
I actually really prefer the modern design pf the Buzzy Beetles. They look really cool to me.
I was scared of the Gnaw in Merlee's Mansion in Super Paper Mario. I was stuck on that level for a while.
Crazee Dayzees are called "Susel Dusel" in the german version. Amazy Dayzees are "Susel Wusel" I think there's a little pun with "wuseln" which means to scurry hinting that they run away in like 9/10 cases.
Also I had no idea that they're so easy to put asleep. I always run away and tried to kill them before they could even attack. Mostly farmed them muuuch later in the game.
I wonder about honey flavored juice. Sounds tasty but difficult to make less syrupy to pour nicely.
The Majora's Mask Moon still scares me to this day.
I can’t remember anything too specific from a game
I remember being scared of the piano in Mario 64
And I thought chapter 3 of this game was eerie as a kid when the weird stuff starts happening
I was watching someone else’s playthrough of TTYD and I’d usually watch it alone at my house on the computer upstairs
One thing I remember being scared of though, was I had this idea for a fan fiction
The idea was what if you woke up in a video game world? Could you beat the game with your own hands and nothing more?
I didn’t want to think of anything too hard or too easy or too weird, eventually I settled on Mario 64
Obviously you couldn’t pick up Big Bob-omb and thus, couldn’t collect his star, you could still realistically collect other stars in the course and around the castle
Eventually I realized you would stuck at Dire, Dire Docks
I imagined myself beating Mario 64 in my head as a kid so when I remembered to get to the second Bowser level, you had to beat a star of dire, dire docks, I instantly thought of Mario falling into the very deep water with sharks and a whirlpool at the bottom
With no ledges or anything to swim or climb up to, the water you’re swimming in is walled in by incredibly tall rocks on all sides
The only way to beat the level is to hold your breath for a long time, and don’t get killed by the deadly sea creatures
I imagined myself falling into the level and drowning
Like how would you be able to swim that deep and hold your breath for that long?
That’s it tho
Other than that uhh
I got scared by the dolls head following you when you spin around it in Luigi’s mansion 2
The first thing that scared me was probably the Old Chateau in Pokémon Platinum, I used to mute the sound when I had to go there
The first time I was scared by a video game was by the Dementors in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban for the PS2
Forest temple in OOT
I was scared of the antagonist of Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures on the SNES and of Redeads of Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask
Legitimately, I have no scary moments from video games
Yeah, tornado jump sucks, but it looks so fucking cool, and its stylish too...
Hammer throw is also a really cool badge with a really cool stylish animation, too bad it's so situationnal it's basically useless. Hurlhammer in SS/CS made it better, slightly.
Also, since we talked about ceilings, they're extremely underused but still have an interaction made specifically for the spring jump move. It's really cool and nobody will ever see it because who uses spring jump anyways.
First video game thing to scare me? Maybe the true version of Andross on Star Fox 64, between the hard battle against his brain, and then having to navigate out of Venom's tunnels with everything exploding around you.
the weasel from donkey kong 64
10 days left
If you were to do double episode and enter grind mode I think it is possible
Just in time a new vid
I was scared at the boos of SMB3, also maybe the sun of the game too, I just really really disliked the idea of enemies that followed you
