    I’m so, so happy that SPM is finally regarded as the tried-and-true third member of the OG Paper Mario trilogy. It’s well-deserved. It’s hard to say whether it’s better or worse than TTYD because it’s so different, which is perfect. We got a third PM game on-par with the second that was completely different!

    • @Atheau

      A lot of people felt fine with the game on launch. Good but it didn't feel enough like paper mario. But then they basically removed even more rpg mechanics which is when the game got a bad rep since it was seen as the start of the downfall. Eventually though people basically re-looked at it years later and were like "Sure it was the first game to start removing rpg mechanics but it was actually a pretty good game. Not a great rpg but a good platformer"

    Love seeing Super Paper Mario challenges. I remember a few years ago doing a No Items challenge, including anything that came from the overworld and ? Blocks. It went so well and I even did the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. But what ruined it all was right at the end of the game, Chapter 8-2 where you are forced to take the obvious Mushroom bait for Mimi's trap. You literally cannot progress without using that Mushroom and healing. I was so upset at that.

    I think Super Paper Mario's main balance problem lies in the fact that you level up too quickly and that there is so much that just doubles your attack power. Level up at half the rate and give Bowser (and Super Jump) a flat +2 bonus to his jump damage (but not fire) over Mario, Peach, and Luigi and the game might offer up a nice difficulty. Boomer, Thudley, and Cudge could even retain their double damage that way because it's hard to hit with them.
    Also, I think King Croacus is probably the most well-designed boss in the game just from a gameplay-perspective.
    Also also, Slim is worst Pixl.

    Currently 49 minutes into the video. I gotta say, even though I think Paper Mario is best when turn based, this is a top tier video of yours! This reminds me a LOT of what it's like to play FromSoft games without a guide and with unoptimal builds. Most fromsoft players copy each other's builds and strategies, but if you use unpopular weapons, you end up in super interesting scenarios where you have to experiment and attempt each boss for hours to get through. I feel like my worlds are colliding, seeing this with Mario.

    The game starts easy, then there are dark souls level bosses like Mimi 2 and Count Bleck.

    This was my 1st ever Paper Mario. I’ve never beat it (and want to) but it holds a special place that I will fill. It truly deserves the love that 10-11 year old me should’ve given it

    I have tried Low Exp runs for this game and enjoyed them a lot. Croacus and the Brobot fights are a lot of fun. Ultimately I think it’s the preferred way to play Super.

    Funnily enough, just jumping into Bleck from below and Barry-ing him was exactly how 14-year-old me beat him (although I had been distracted by story and forgot other characters besides Mario were playable)

    The rise of SPM content and appreciation over the last few years brings a tear to my eye :') this is one of my favorite games of all time, like it is for many, and this was so much fun to watch. The blatant hate for the game simply not being turn-based was never fair, but i have been able to shed my rose-colored nostalgia glasses and see that yeah, the game sadly is very much unbalanced, and some of the levels are much less interesting than they could have been (though personally the most tedious parts people always bring up never bothered me that much). It makes me sad, because if the level design had been stronger and the bosses harder/more balanced, SPM might have been regarded as the true masterpiece it is in my biased heart lol. I still really do think that despite its gameplay flaws, its charm and heart carries it through, and of course the story and music. 💖 I hope you do more SPM videos in the future....!

    I actually did this challenge myself back then, it was a very fun challenge. Also trying to do it with only Mario, since the others just have too OP abilities.
    Additionally I only used healing items. Fighting Bowser was actually one of the tougher ones.
    I think I also remember the first Brobot being immune to my shots, but not to the missiles.

    Honestly the king croacus fight is a lot harder than people give it credit when you do it as intended even with the right health, that second phase especially
    also can i say it is SO cool to see you like analyzing the boss fights

    • @carriioneater
      @carriioneater 9 днів тому

      ALSO my perception of the sammer kingdom fight with mimi is not that mimi is trying to stop you, but stall you.
      EVERYBODY knows there's not much time left for Sammer Kingdom, Bleck's team knows they can't really take down the heroes, Mimi doesn't have much health but she's evasive and fast, she can stall for time enough that, hopefully, the heroes won't be able to escape the void in time

    I would say this was my first paper mario game, but so far it's been my only paper mario game, so... (haven't gotten around to the ttyd remake, trying to finish super mario rpg first lol)
    Anyways, this game is one of my top five favourite games of all time ever, and I was so shocked when I first learned that people didn't like it (though I'm glad to see people have warmed up to it over time), it was owned by a girl who lived across the street from me and was only occasionally around due to her parents being divorced, and since I was too young to understand the concept of spin-offs, I didn't realize it was anything other than a regular mario game with a funky artstyle. Together, we could NOT get past the ch 2 Mimi bossfight, so I feel a little bad hearing you call it easy 😂. One time, I asked her if I could bring it to my own house to try getting past the boss fight while she was with her other parent, and she said yes. I proceeded to beat the entire game within like a week, because I was the SUPERIOR GAMER.
    Either way, as I said, since I had no conception of the other Paper Mario games, I was really surprised to learn that it was disliked, but in retrospect, I can understand WHY people were upset at the massive change in gameplay, but on its own, it's definitely a really solid game, especially if you're someone like me who's big on story.

    I think super paper mario is such an interesting game gameplay wise that I just have to like how unique it plays
    also the story is god tier
    this game better get a remake with a hard mode because I would buy it in a heartbeat
