Paper Mario in general throughout the series is a savage like when he finger wags after a fight in the original or tips his hat in the TTYD or when he brushes off his overalls in TOK after reviving from a 1-Up Mushroom.
@@rebirthphoenix5646 Let's not forget that the bosses in other Paper Mario games had unique defeat animations whereas Sticker Star just uses the same damn defeat animation as a regular enemy.
I wanted to show part of why I grinded for stickers by failing to run away at the beginning. That way, if I messed up blocking the fire attack a couple times, it wouldn't ruin a 40-minute attempt.
this game is So underrated by the older paper mario fans it doesn’t have to be like ttyd to be a fantastic game i really enjoyed this video i honestly didn’t think it was possible to beat bowser without the things and kirsti so it’s really impressive and a really good game but anyways awesome video keep up the good work my friend
Thanks! I wish more people would give this game a chance and rate it on its own merits instead of hating on it just because it's not like other paper mario games. I personally like all the paper mario games for their own reasons, but can understand if someone doesn't like all of them since they are so different.
Honestly same. The game just gives too many completely broken options. This fight wouldn't even be that bad without the Kersti sticker, but I guess the developers wanted some special final boss mechanic.
Barely Alec But like, he deals the same damage as Tower Power frickin’ Pokey’s spin attack for crispy chris. The final boss should deal more damage than that.

We just had an update: The Italian plumber in question has the chance to wish for anything. Wishes for the annoying sparkly crown sticker to be an alive sticker again.
you could knock the thwomp down with and eek hammer and then attack so he takes full damage. Also, if you time an a press while mario spins when you use a mushroom, then you get an excellent and heal 99 health instead of 80. And finally, if you wanted a no kersti insult, you should have found a way to mak bowser burn kersti!
Breaking News: A mustached plumbed is trying to kill a porcupine that is guarding a hot Princess. The plumber is trying to kill the porcupine with Sliver Boots and Green Slippers. If he kills it, he will get $1,000,000!
I tried the same challenge for the first phase but I just brought a whole bunch of POW Blocks, Super Boots/Frog Suits, and Megaflash/Flashy stickers. With that you can hit the damage cap very easily or deal 300 damage with an Infinijump. But I never tried no Kersti cause it sounds very tedious so Megaflash stickers probably take too much space for that part
You got it exactly right. The space required to do this challenge for the final phase meant I couldn't use Megaflash stickers and yeah it was pretty tedious. The way you beat the first phase sounds like a lot of fun.
Honestly, to this day, I still can't figure out why in the hell you cant jump on Bowser's snout without an iron jump. That's so goddamn fucking stupid, borderline psycho-sadistic even. I dont see horns or anything coming out of his snout to hurt Mario jumping. I applaud you doing this with no kertsi, thing, or infinite jump stickers. I can do no things or kertsi, but I refuse to even attempt no infijump. That just sounds like absolute hell.
Pretty sure the devs wanted to be "consistent" since first phase Bowser hurts you, but they just created an even more inconsistent and questionable logic.
yeah, that's bullshit. I get his shell because it's covered in spikes, but why the fucking snout? Granted, mario COULD be jumping onto the head itself and not the snout and therefore getting hurt by the crown's spikiness, but still
This is insanely impressive to me, Im bad at blocking so it would probably be about impossible for me! Then again Color Splash's final boss required paying attention to block the attacks correctly and I beat it, so maybe the biggest issue would be my patience, lol.
Thanks! Blocking in this fight is important for the fire breath attack since it burns 3 stickers on the page of the album that you're currently on. That attack scared me every time it was used
Someone said that you could beat Big Boo with the restrictions. The way to do it is to put him to sleep and when he is asleep he will not turn invisible and then you can use stuff like hopslippers to beat him.
Somehow, they took the most widespread, cool idea for Invincible King Bowser... and made it the most basic, boring application of Bowser _ever._ Even actually playing the game like you are here barely helps make it more strategic. More importantly, it doesn't even make it more _fun._
@@BarelyAlec Not true. It's the most dangerous because, while it still damages you but least of all, his flame breath as you pointed out can _sabotage your only method of fighting him._
@@spidey5108 Yeah, the flame breath is a relevant threat, but I personally was a lot more calm once Bowser's arms fell off since I find the arm attacks harder to block. I was also able to play the fight pretty safe by intentionally using pages with a low amount of relevant stickers in case they got burned.
Yeah lol something that was I was wondering but can Bowser burn Kersti if you don’t block it even if she’s the only sticker on that page? I assume he can’t but now I’m wondering that.
@@BarelyAlec oh ok I figured he couldn’t. Still crazy you were able to do this, when I played Sticker Star almost a decade ago I wondered if you could beat the bosses without the required things or at least have a cap before needing to use them but you and a few others showed us you could do it without them lol
This guy named LuckySevenDX showed us a trick how to get around the chain chomp without using the tail in the fourth phase: The way he did was first use a pow block, and then he used a flashy slap hammer which will aim at bowser. He kept doing that until bowser has 0 health and the chain chomp has all 100 health. If you want to see this video on how LuckySevenDX did it, the video title is called: Let's Play Paper Mario Sticker Star Part Extra 2: I'm a strong independent plumber.
@@CaliCosmicGal The hints are nice but finding the thing you need in the overworld to turn it into a sticker was what made them unhelpful for me when I first played this game. You're right though, the hints were probably helpful to a lot of people so they didn't have to try a ton of different thing stickers.
I do believe his defense is not as high as bosses like Tower Power Pokey, Gooper Blooper, and Petey Piranha. But his defense is probably the same as Bosses like Megasparkle Goomba in his small form and Bowser Snow Statue without the stuff covering him.
Wow your infinitely better than I. I’ve only managed to beat him with the infinijumps and the megaflash stickers. This might be one of the hardest bowser bosses in Mario history. Well done
I thought you were doing this without stickers in general and I was like “how?” this entire time I thought Kertsi(however you spell it) was required Edit: I wonder what peach thinks
lol maybe I'll beat the game without stickers some other time. Before I did this and was wondering if Kersti was required, I tested and saw that Bowser just does the same attacks over and over (especially when he losses his arms). Then it was clear that as long as you had enough healing, you'd be fine.
@@BarelyAlec a no sticker run would be interesting, although if there’s some way to do damage without stickers it’s crossed my mind. I don’t understand why this game gets so much flack, I found it fun
@@theultimateinksack5825 I think the closest to a no sticker run would be entering a battle without stickers and hoping to get lucky drops. I'm not sure if that's actually possible though. And I agree that this game shouldn't get as much hate as it does. As a stand-alone experience, I enjoyed it when I played the game the first time and I enjoyed it the second time when I made this video.
@@BarelyAlec I enjoyed it a lot when I was little even though I now prefer Color Splash much more over it. Sticker Star is still a pretty fun 3D platformer and the hate it gets makes you think people were attempting the lost levels instead. Without savestates.
If Nintendo prepared for this eventuality, there would definitely be a few more quotes from Kersti. Here’s my fanmade takes on what she could say if you don’t use her during the fight: 25:01 *After the fight:* Kersti: “Mario! I can’t believe you managed to pull that off without my help!” Kersti: “I guess you’ve proved me wrong in that dire situation.” Kersti: “Now that we’ve acquired the final Royal Sticker and defeated bowser once and for all, there’s only one thing left to do.” Kersti: “Mario, you know what has to be done first.” 25:30 *Just before Peach takes in a view:* Kersti: “Hey madam! This was just another day at work for us.” Peach: “Oh! Who’s this lovely piece of jewelry you’ve been traveling with, Mario?” Kersti: “You can call me Kersti. I’m not some ordinary piece of jewelry.” Kersti: “Mario and I had quite the journey getting here.” (Dialogue proceeds like normal) 25:53 *Just before peach asks Mario to a wish:* Kersti: “Speaking of which, I was almost about to sacrifice myself during that last battle.” Kersti: “Because I’m still alive and well, what is Mario’s wish going to be?” Peach: “I have no clue, Kersti. I wasn’t expecting Mario to overcome such power without your help.” Peach: “Mario, with the power of the Royal Stickers, what is your wish?” (Mario wishes for something extra) (Story proceeds like normal) 26:50 *After Kersti scolds Bowser at the festival:* Kersti: “You know, Mario. I didn’t think you were going to wish for an even fancier festival than what is was before!” Kersti: “I really like how flashy the place is now!” Kersti: “Anyways, I should be keeping an eye on Bowser every upcoming Sticker Festival.”
I really like the idea of getting a better ending for not using Kersti in that fight! It would be cool to see the wish used for another festival instead
Hey, I just stumbled across your channel and I was really impressed with this video! Well done! BTW I’m not sure if you’re already aware but there’s actually an action command for the mushroom stickers!
Man... I'm kind of thinking of attempting a challenge like that myself. honestly, I was curious to see what the fewest number of thing stickers that are required to beat Sticker star. I will definitely use your videos as guides on how to beat them.
I'm not sure if you've seen my other sticker star video so just in case, I won't spoil how many thing stickers I used on the main bosses. I wasn't able to beat all of the minibosses without thing stickers though. Good luck if you decide to try your challenge!
I have a fairer and way more fun idea for finale bowser you get to use Kersti but you need to end the battle with an empty album. So you need to up all stickers.
Could be fun. I'd probably go into the fight with specific "things" that deal a lot of damage and try to finish the fight quickly. Another strategy could be letting bowser burn some stickers on purpose which would be cool.
There is a problem with this: the arms can only be hit a certain amount of times before they break off. You can’t jump on the mouth unless you use iron jumps as the mouth is a spiked enemy.
I hope you're ready for a long fight lol. I've watched some of your sticker star videos. Watching you try to beat bowser jr thingless reminded me of me slowly coming to the realization that you needed to use the scissors against him. The shiny hopslipper was a good idea, but unfortunately not enough. Good luck with bowser!
@@BarelyAlec I wondered if I could get an early poison Mushroom and if Bowser Junior took Poison Damage would he fall easily there. The Big Ass Cheep Cheep immune to Pow Blocks sucks. I assumed it was immune to Pow Blocks.... mistakes were made.
Instead of buying flashy mushrooms from the shop, here is a trick to get them: First you buy poison mushrooms at W1-5 Whammino Mountain, Then you go to W5-1 Shy Guy Jungle and then if you paperize poison mushrooms you get flashy mushrooms sometimes.
Even if you don't use Kersti as a sticker, she gets wished back to life by Mario in the cutscene after the fight so you can't toss or sell her normally. I think some people were saying you can hack the Kersti sticker into your inventory though and then do that stuff.
Actually, you can toss her without hacking. Though I wished if you did toss Kersti the normal ending cutscene plays and she would not be behind Mario in the ending.
@@BarelyAlec After Beating him with the restrictions you go to Kersti sticker and then you press a to keep or toss it. But instead of keep, select toss and she will be out of the inventory. However the normal ending cutscene plays and somehow Mario gets Kersti back to life.
I'm not exactly sure how the hand attacks are decided but after them, I think he always uses his fire breath and then rockfall attack with the cycle repeating until he losses his hands. After that, I think he always uses fire breath, rockfall, fire breath, rockfall, etc.
I don't think you can do enough damage to kill him in the phase right before the final one. I've seen videos where once he reaches low enough health (I think 100) he just falls and goes into the final phase.
That might be an interesting fight if you ban everything fire-related. It might just be a repeat of Bowser's final form though idk. I might try that in the future since I've gotten a lot of random requests for certain bosses in this game. I'm thinking of putting a bunch of one-off requests into one video.
What really sucks is that Bowser Jr cannot be defeated without the scissors. Big Boo cannot be defeated without the faucet. The most thing that sucks is that you need two things for the Big Cheep Cheep Battle which is the fish hook and thumbtack.
@@BarelyAlec for the to comment! i realy want to see if that posssable, and what happens if you can im stuck at world 3, and you were so close to defeteing him in his secont fase, plus im a child using my moms acount.
@@fairylily73 You can't defeat Bowser in his second phase. In the video, he is at 19 health before getting hit by the final part of the clone jump attack. That last hit does 14 damage but Bowser's health goes down to 10 instead of 5. His health can't fall below 10 before the final phase.
I like how after the intense and grueling 50 minute battle mario just smiles and adjusts his hat with the lamest fanfare ever playing
yeah lol. He's acting like he just beat a miniboss or something small

I almost feel bad for him...
You can take out the womp in two stickers, that being the shiny eekhammer and the flashy clone jump.
My bad, thanks for letting me know.
The final boss music is so awesome when you get to the final phase, what a shame it doesn't last for so long due to Kersti.
I wish you could sell Kersti at the shop after this, that'd be amazing
This is why we need postgame content in paper mario games.
I think his defense is at half while some bosses like tower power Pokey and gooper Blooper have their defense at quarter
I'm honestly not sure. I never tried calculating defenses.
Why... Aren't you doing the Mushroom action command?
I didn't know about it at the time
How come you purposely did not block the last fire attack before the end?
I wanted to show part of why I grinded for stickers by failing to run away at the beginning. That way, if I messed up blocking the fire attack a couple times, it wouldn't ruin a 40-minute attempt.
Did you have to do the kamek fight before recording?
Yeah, but you can just leave after the fight to replace the stickers used during it. That way, when you fight Bowser, you have a full inventory.
Did you have to make a page of junk stickers for the fight?
@@jeremybrandt7095 I forgot to plan for the Kamek fight so I just used what I was saving for Bowser there.

Honestly same. The game just gives too many completely broken options. This fight wouldn't even be that bad without the Kersti sticker, but I guess the developers wanted some special final boss mechanic.
So this would be the hardest Bowser fight in Mario history if you didn't have items that deal 100+ damage.
Yeah lol, Bowser is actually threatening for once
Barely Alec But like, he deals the same damage as Tower Power frickin’ Pokey’s spin attack for crispy chris. The final boss should deal more damage than that.
@@shardtheduraludon That's true. The only real challenge is inventory management.
Barely Alec but Bowser can burn stickers witch is more treat then any damage.
i just brought 10 infinijump plus the megaflash onfini jump and the final stage was ez
Impressive, but also….
I like how playing the game “normally” is considered a challenge run lmao
lol true
This is what the battle should have been, minus the 500 hp and doing one damage parts
I agree, it's a lot more fun that way
A little late but honestly it should stay at 500 I feel it would be good enough if you didn't do 1 damage

There is a problem with this: the arms can only be hit a certain amount of times before they break off. You can’t jump on the mouth unless you use iron jumps as the mouth is a spiked enemy.
challenge, count how many time bowser attacks, and what attacks he uses, timemark them too
lol nope. If you want to take on the challenge yourself timemark them in the comments :)
Might do this later
Bowser attacks 175 times over the course of this video.

Now you can go sell Kersti at the shop!
Mario wishes her back to life so you can't sell her without hacking :(
So Bowser´s health cannot fall below 10 if you manage to get his health down low enough?
I guess since after his health hits zero, the game gives coins so it technically never becomes a negative number.
It's so you don't kill him too early and skip phases.
You should beat this game getting all the royal stickers backwards not including final one
: O is that even possible?
Barely Alec yes you can route the game in a way to make it possible I did it but I don’t want to give away how I did
@@RedSpikeGuy1 That's pretty cool. I might look into it sometime.
Barely Alec alright would be a cool vid to watch👍🏻
Now you can sell her for 15 coins!
You know it!
came back to the game to finish bowser off since little kid me couldnt do it struggled even now mad respect to u for nuzz locking urself 😭
Thanks, I'm glad running away always fails so I could get enough stickers!
I can't believe I watched the whole thing aside from some of phase 2. As much as I dislike this game, I'm massively impressed at your performance.
Thanks, I'm glad you watched so much of it!
I know im saying this way too late but, you can time the mushroom to get more hp
I had no idea about that at the time for some reason. Thanks for letting me know!
I think you need a better computer, your emulator is dying
I do have a better computer now!
@@BarelyAlecsound is high pitching
does this mean you can sell the Kersti sticker at a shop?
Nope. Unfortunately, after the fight, Mario wishes Kersti back to life so she isn't in your album anymore
@@BarelyAlec damn it, I wanted to sell her, she's so ennoying
@@BarelyAlec Aww, I really wanted to sell it, thatd be so funny. And also I dont care for that annoying thing.
@@Lizuma It would be funny and a cool bonus for people who did the fight without using the Kersti sticker
@@BarelyAlec I wish someone could do a rom hack of that, what a missed opportunity for making your partner such an ungrateful jerk in the first place
i wish he would defete him on his secont fase ):
i never saw if thts possable
I am now right at this fight. Since it seems like you bought more Flashy Mushrooms, (I got 9) I will have a very interesting time with this fight.
I hope you're ready for a long fight lol. I've watched some of your sticker star videos. Watching you try to beat bowser jr thingless reminded me of me slowly coming to the realization that you needed to use the scissors against him. The shiny hopslipper was a good idea, but unfortunately not enough. Good luck with bowser!
@@BarelyAlec I wondered if I could get an early poison Mushroom and if Bowser Junior took Poison Damage would he fall easily there.
The Big Ass Cheep Cheep immune to Pow Blocks sucks. I assumed it was immune to Pow Blocks.... mistakes were made.
@@goldenyoshistar1 They call him cheep for a reason ;)
@@BarelyAlec yes they do. If i can send you a DM, I'd go and let you know when I am attempting Bowser.
@@goldenyoshistar1 Can you just comment here again when you do or do you need to DM on discord or something?
Instead of buying flashy mushrooms from the shop, here is a trick to get them:
First you buy poison mushrooms at W1-5 Whammino Mountain, Then you go to W5-1 Shy Guy Jungle and then if you paperize poison mushrooms you get flashy mushrooms sometimes.
That's an efficient way to do it. I just bought my shiny mushrooms, but I paperized iron jumps if I remember correctly.
Can you toss kersti away?
Even if you don't use Kersti as a sticker, she gets wished back to life by Mario in the cutscene after the fight so you can't toss or sell her normally. I think some people were saying you can hack the Kersti sticker into your inventory though and then do that stuff.
Actually, you can toss her without hacking. Though I wished if you did toss Kersti the normal ending cutscene plays and she would not be behind Mario in the ending.
@@jeremybrandt7095 How do you toss her without hacking?
@@BarelyAlec After Beating him with the restrictions you go to Kersti sticker and then you press a to keep or toss it. But instead of keep, select toss and she will be out of the inventory. However the normal ending cutscene plays and somehow Mario gets Kersti back to life.
Your thumb must have really hurt after this, huh?
lol yeah, especially because I had some failed attempts before this.
Super impressive! Does Kersti have any special dialogue after or does it play out the exact same even though she doesn’t die
Unfortunately, it plays out the exact same
Why is Bowser's final form even spiky? Last I check Mario jumps on his nose which is round
Yeah, the nose doesn't look like it would damage Mario. It's weird since Bowser's hands can be jumped on.
Why do you hate yourself so much
lol, I just love a good challenge!
30:22 Mario is like TEACHER IM HERE IM RAISING MY HAND
Then he realized his answer was wrong so he lowered it.
@@BarelyAlec whenever I do that in pre algebra I always get called on anyway
@@theultimateinksack5825 Rip. That's why I almost never raise my hand ;)
@@BarelyAlec pro strats
This is like breaking a wall of ice with a nail
Kinda
Is the attack pattern for the final phase random or just back to back before you have to predict his firebreath attack.
I'm not exactly sure how the hand attacks are decided but after them, I think he always uses his fire breath and then rockfall attack with the cycle repeating until he losses his hands. After that, I think he always uses fire breath, rockfall, fire breath, rockfall, etc.
@@BarelyAlec either way, you deserve more subs for doing what I actually wondered if was even possible.
@@goldenyoshistar1 Thanks, glad you liked it!
cool
Thanks! I had a lot of fun theorycrafting and doing the fight
@@BarelyAlec well i thinked it is impossble to beat bowser without kersti and infiniumps :D cool video :D
What happens if you kill bowser before he becomes giant
I don't think you can do enough damage to kill him in the phase right before the final one. I've seen videos where once he reaches low enough health (I think 100) he just falls and goes into the final phase.
In the kamek fight I think he drops mushrooms along with bowser.
He will drop normal mushrooms instead of flashy mushrooms though.
@@jeremybrandt7095 Interesting, that means you can have stickers other than sandals in the Kamek fight.
He can also drop worn-out jumps too.
24:05
At least Kersti doesn’t complain you used too many stickers, oh wait…
You’re probably the first and only person to ever pull this off
Probably
btw i think he is doing this because the sticker kersti is too op!
Nope. It's because Kersti is such an amazing character that I couldn't bring myself to use her as a sticker.
Just kidding, you were right.
Is it possible to beat bowser snow statue without fire flowers or burnhammers?
That might be an interesting fight if you ban everything fire-related. It might just be a repeat of Bowser's final form though idk. I might try that in the future since I've gotten a lot of random requests for certain bosses in this game. I'm thinking of putting a bunch of one-off requests into one video.
I'm a sticker now I'm the sisers
Sticker
High pitched?
Yeah sorry about that. My computer can't run the game very well.
I hope my iPad doesn’t run the game well because I like the high pitch
Is there any special ending for not using Kersti?
Unfortunately not :(
Can you burn Kersti?
I don't think so
@@BarelyAlec That's a shame
@@jnotez_fr You can toss her after the battle though.
What hapins next?
I wish you could block all those fire balls he throws at you
I wasn't sure if they were possible to block or if I was just bad at doing it. They definitely are annoying.
lol y is the game audio so out of pitch 😂
Sorry about that, my computer can't run the game very well.
What really sucks is that Bowser Jr cannot be defeated without the scissors. Big Boo cannot be defeated without the faucet. The most thing that sucks is that you need two things for the Big Cheep Cheep Battle which is the fish hook and thumbtack.
It's too bad you need Things against mini-bosses. Am I thinking of the wrong boss though because I thought infinijump can beat the big boo?
You could but if you screw the timing up, he will turn invisible and all of your attacks except for the faucet will miss.
@@jeremybrandt7095 you can use sleep on Big boo making him never go invisible or counter all his attacks with spiky helmet.
@@CaliCosmicGal That's a cool strategy! I didn't realize you could beat big boo without things or infinijumps.
Its all worth it once you can sell kertsi
:)
Wait, with the pow I can kill him in the first phase?
His health can't go below 10 before the final phase of the fight, but you can get him to move to his next attack sooner.
400 hp?
mario is stronger than Bowser no matter what
True
Bowser gets tortured by mario for like half an hour
Yeah at some point he'd just be thinking "we both know Mario will eventually win like always"
@@BarelyAlec every shonen anime protagonist in existence be like
What’s wrong with my audio?
The audio in this video is slightly distorted because my computer can't run the 3ds emulator that well.
@@BarelyAlec ah I see, I thought it was my phone
You should’ve sold Keirsti if that was possible
I would have if possible, but after the fight Mario wishes Kersti back to life so she can't stay in your album to sell.
@@BarelyAlec ah okay.
I don’t know if it’s possible to beat Bowser Jr 3rd time without tails
He still takes damage to hopslippers so I think you can.
@@BarelyAlec does spike balls work on him? Like he shot spike balls at us it isn’t impossible that he take extra damage to them to
@@CaliCosmicGal The spike ball doesn't affect flying enemies so it wouldn't hurt him.
@@BarelyAlec oh really? I thought you threw it so it hade to hit flying enemy
sorry!
For what?
@@BarelyAlec for the to comment! i realy want to see if that posssable, and what happens if you can im stuck at world 3, and you were so close to defeteing him in his secont fase, plus im a child using my moms acount.
@@fairylily73 You can't defeat Bowser in his second phase. In the video, he is at 19 health before getting hit by the final part of the clone jump attack. That last hit does 14 damage but Bowser's health goes down to 10 instead of 5. His health can't fall below 10 before the final phase.
@@BarelyAlec i was just curius!
I remember trying this (with things) and it was pretty fun
That's probably more fun than using a ton of iron jumps tbh.
I hate things
@@jeremybrandt7095 Generally, me too. But this fight is a bit tedious without them.
What happens if you don't use her after the battle ends?
The normal ending cutscene plays. Mario wishes Kersti back to life so you can't even sell the sticker without hacking it into your inventory.
@@BarelyAlec Oh, that's stinky. Just tell Kertsi you'd be better off with the roulette!
@@BarelyAlec Kersti sells for 15 coins at the shop
If you hack it into the inventory
