This game is the definition of underrated
*overrated
Cyrus Crompton *underrated
***** please. I hear people talking about this game all the time. its anything but underrated
Cyrus Crompton I'll admit in your area it might be overrated, I live in ND, fucking no one has heard of this game here.
***** just look at the comments
Am I really one of the few people who actually liked this game? I thought it was so good, the characters were so dynamic, the humor was amazing, the controls were tight, the puzzles were fantastic, and I even shed a tear at the end... It was unlike any other game I've ever played, and even though it was different from the past Paper Mario games, it was still good in its own right. Wouldn't be the first time a game in a beloved series took a turn in genre.
I loved every second, the music was great, I was never good at turn based attacks, and this felt more like a mario game squished into a 3d pancake.
SUCH A GOOD SOUNTRACK
Amazing game.
As someone who sees every game as a standalone product, I feel the same.
I LOVED THIS GAME ITS MY FAVOURITE
I'm sorry to put in an outdated reference, but...
BOWSER'S ARMS!
GG.
I wish I didn't get it, but I do

Joel Santillano *slowly raises a deagle to your head* allahu akbar, son. allahu akbar.*pulls the trigger*
Oh my god, all of that unused music is FANTASTIC, especially Relax and Bitlands. God damnit.
my favorite is the Bitlands... WHY NINTENDO!
Venturiantale And GameChap Fan my favourite is bitlands too :)
Joy Nicholas same
i agree because the unused bitlands theme is my favorite unused theme and it sucks that its not in the final game :(
I KNOW RIGHT WHY WAS IT SCRAPPED?!?!?!
Paper Mario, PMTTYD, and Super Paper Mario are my favorite games in the paper Mario series
+SKATT3R Basically the only games in the series. Amirite? Up top! *offers high-five*
MudKevin *high-fives* but dont forget about Paper mario sticker star
SKATT3R Hmm.... I don't seem too remember that one.... ;)
MudKevin lol
***** What? I don't even watch IGN. Despite the little fun I had playing Sticker Star it was definitely the worst game in the series.
I thought I was the only one that liked this game
Why
Owen De Kalb Me to
Owen De Kalb why do people always say this, of course they aren't the only ones
i peed myself. dont tell anyone twit
Exactly. It’s just cringey.
I will say, The Thousand Year Door is my favorite, but Super Paper Mario is my second favorite and doesn't get as much credit as it deserves.
yeah The Thousand Year Door is the best one out of all the paper marios
thousand year door was my favorite too. but I don't like super paper Mario... I like the rpg style it had which super paper Mario doesn't have. AND IM FUCKING STUCK IN COUNT BLECKS CASTLE
It created dimentio
Nazo>dimetio>shadow>kefka
Hector Gonzalez This game is actually my personal third favorite, only because TTYD is my all-time fave game, and the original is what I grew up with :)
Cyrus Crompton Get gud.
They should've kept that Relax theme in the game, it would've be awesome to listen to.
I also would've loved to have fought against the Shy guy crew.
StupidMarioBros1Fan flyguy
Im 1FAN Of Super Mario You Of Stupid One Like Wario
Anna Beatrice Why you making fun of somebody who likes nintendo?
The Relax theme could've been used for the rest, but a shortened one.
Tbh, I'm kind of surprised that you didn't mention that the Big Blooper screenshot with the beta Pixl also had Tippi in it, even though it's impossible to have Tippi with you when you fight the Blooper.
ThatGrayCat also impossible to have 2 pixlsat once
Tippi is always out, except during that chapter and when you've completed the game. Mario is always accompanied by BOTH Tippi and the other pixel of your choice.
ThatGrayCat maybe there was supposed to be a r-IDIOT HE SAID THAT DUMMY
ThatGrayCat oh yeah, true!
@@richardcastanon635 Tippi is captured by Francis at the beginning of 3-1, and you don't see her again until 3-4. Thus, she is not present in the blooper fight, at least not in the final game.
This is my favorite game of all time. If you haven't played it buy it. If you can't buy it, get a job, then buy it.
♫ Knowing that your not alone!♫
♫ I can die happy!♫
+Ayden Ford what why
I'm getting it.
if you cant get a job then pet a cat
already own it
This game was not a part of my childhood.
It was my childhood.
Then you are incredibly young.

It was my first rpg ever or 2nd pokemon was my first if you can even call pokemon an rpg
Brandon Stone Depends on what your definition of childhood is.
They removed Shy Guys from the game?
HOW COULD YOU NINTENDO?!
You're a pie guy, why do you xarem
SHY GUYS NO
Shy guys are so cute 😄😄😄😄😄
^That's a nice way to look at it, eh?
Japancom M-L how would you know? they wear masks
This game while different is still a great Paper Mario game. MUCH better than Sticker Star.
I never played Sicker Star, how can it be worse than Super Paper Mario? Paper Mario N64 and Thousand Year Door were awesome, but Super Paper Mario was a huge disappointment for me, personally.
Sticker Star has no epic engaging story, no Peach segments, no partners, no original characters except for one who is bland, Bowser who is the funniest character in these games has no dialogue whatsoever, there is no experience point system therefore fights are meaningless, the story is just Peach captured go saved with no twists or uniqueness to make Peach stand out as more than just a damsel in distress, Luigi isn't in the game, there are no badges again, you can't use your jump or hammer attacks unless you have a jump or hammer sticker which means if you run out you can't fight in a battle and if it is a boss then you'll lose, boss fights can only be beaten by using specific stickers which the game doesn't tell you about until after you've lost to them and the game autosaves thus making you lose all the stickers you've collected, Kammy Koopa is once again gone (although Bowser Jr. and Kamek are there), the level structure is more like the main series and less like a real world, and the game is simply another product of Miyamoto wanting the Mario series to be storyless and having no personality or uniqueness whatsoever. It is the Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 of the Mario franchise and I hate it so much.
Well, that certainly doesn't sound very fun. This only strengthens my belief that there will never be a Mario game that I would ever like more than Thousand Year door. That game was just too good with all the new badges and Pit of 100 Trials; definately one of my top ten.
th3pwnicorn The sad thing is that originally Intelligent systems were making the game like Thousand Year door. It had badges, a more intricate story, partners, lots of original characters that were entertaining and funny, Peach wouldn't just be captured and would do stuff to help Mario while she was captured, Luigi would have been in it, and the game would have had many more RPG elements in it. However Miyamoto told them that since Super Paper Mario didn't get praised for its story in club Nintendo (everyone online was saying how the story was amazing but Miyamoto is too sheltered to look there) that an RPG doesn't need a story (An RPG's main appeal is the story and the characters! The gameplay is actually a bit less important in an RPG) and that they should scrap that and make it the way it is now. And since Intelligent systems would look bad saying no to the man who made Nintendo such a success they caved in and did what he said. Intelligent systems still has the ability to create great Paper Mario games, they were just pressured into making it bad for Sticker Star.
pkstarstorm1up I honestly would like to know WHERE did you get this information, because I don't remember hearing anything about the game being changed in development o.o though I think I remember hearing talks about the partners..
"Kami" also just means "God", so the Goomba could just be that.
I am your God...
There is no god here. Only Goomba.

Same. SPM is way too underrated.
Ikr, its the best game
It's so dark, and interesting and a great story. I didn't like it first starting off, but once the story got into it, I was hooked. I couldn't stop until it was done. The final boss, the bosses, the story, Mr.L, the Underwhere, all of it made the game AWESOME!!!!
I'm glad you agree...
+DMAN 62102 Mr L and Dimentio are my favourites.
While this game is different RPG than it predecessors, I still love it and think it has a good place in the Paper Mario series. Sticker Star on the band, I'd rather not go into my options on that that one.
Agreed.
And I just noticed how fucked up my comment is due to auto correct. Damn it...
Sticker Star is on the band. The band of doom.
giggling so hard at this comment
The Paper Mario band
64 on the drums
Tok and Ttyd on the guitar
SPM on bass
Color Splash on vocals
And Sticker Star on the flute.
Does anybody else see tippi in the fight against blooper when tippi is captured?
2:00
Maybe Tippi wasn't suposed to get captured.
huh
@@davidblox1387 They probably used some form of level select to capture that shot. Many Nintendo games had or have a secret debug/level select menu.

***** thanks kratos, best dad,
I dont care what people say but i really like this game
This game was released on my birthday :D
Me too :D that’s awesome

This has one of the best stories, the ending really made me cry
I. NEED. MORE. INFORMATION.
I’m obsessed with this game at the moment after suddenly remembering it.
This is definitely the best game in the series. I hate how people dislike it because it's different.
It's not the best it's just good
And I hate sticker star so don't call me a person who doesn't like different
true the haters are just stupid TTYD fanboys
I hate that too
pokemont trainer roxas nope it is the best along with ttyd
Oh man the cut music is so good! Especially Happy Flower and the Bitlands.
Oh my god, your videos are just epic *_* Your voice, your choice of the videomaterial playing while you're talking, the topic you choose, just EVERYTHING is perfect! I love your videos SO MUCH!!!
Did he say Sticker Star was a good RPG?! o.e
Me too lol XD
It is
@@HorrorKidtheReviewer20 but it isn't? Atleast it's not a good paper mario game that's for sure
I’m pretty sure they changed the series from “RPG” to “Action adventure!” It’s literally just a pretend rpg now!

I thought the Wiggler made their first appearance back in Hotel Mario
he's talking about it's first appearance in a Paper Mario game.
I know. I thought I removed that comment.
oh okay, sorry about that.
Actually the first appearance of the Wiggler was in Super Mario World.
LOTSA SPAGHETTI!!!
Your vids are just the best. You really have ways of getting information. Keep up the good work, Andrew.
I've been looking for this for too long. THANK YOU.
I actually like super paper Mario a lot. It was the great game play of normal Mario games with new settings and a story.
Heads up!
Colorless sprite or monochrome sprites are often used as layering to their colored counterparts to make special kinds of shading. This is even used in N64 games as well.
Your channel is quickly becoming one of the channels that I get excited about new videos for, keep up the awesome work!
You sir, are a legend. You talk about all my favorite games, whom I've forgotten about, and made me want to replay them again. Keep it up, you're awesome.
Man, finally I found someone that likes this game as much as I do...
I can't understand why this game is so underrated... Just because people were expecting an RPG battle system? Because that's the absolute only thing one could complain of :/
This is one of my favorite games of all time. I just... I played it when I was young and still think it's fantastic, the story, while no epic, is one of the deepest in a game where the main series plot is "bowser kidnapped peach save her!" It was fun and was a platformer that had some pretty hard endgame stuff. I have no idea why it's hated.
This is a great channel, never stop making videos man.
beta 64...love your videos...love hearing about the history of how some of my favorite childhood games came to be
Nobody noticed he said "Super Mario Sticker Star" at 4:41?
LORD DOMINATOR I did
This is my favorite Paper Mario! I though it had great story, music, and gameplay!
This video is incorrectly put into the "Gamecube" playlist for Beta64

ye but still =P
Wilson Percival Higgsbury
ye but still that's not how the playlists should be organized
I mean, it was meant to be for the GameCube, but THIS IS ON THE WII!
It's also in the Wii playlist.
I used relax in a flip note back on Hatena...
Good times
I love how everyone says they want a new Paper Mario RPG as if Sticker Star never existed.
Dear UA-cam,
I personally liked Sticker Star.
If you don't, that's perfectly ok.
But, I don't think it gets all of the credit it deserves.
Sure, It was a VERY big turn from the other games in it's seires, but it was also the first portable Paper Mario game.
Also, I personally liked the new battle style they put in.
It was kinda annoying, but also really new and interesting.
All of you might not like this game, and again, that's ok.
But, I think it should be given a little more of a chance, because it was just an experiment.
The game was funny, bright, colorful, and full of things to do.
This is why i think Sticker Star is a good game.
Thank you for your time, and have a good day.
Hello.
Stop writing like this.
It isn't a fucking poem.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
I love Sticker Star, I loved it because my friend and I would play it, and he would always crack me up. It makes me sadder everytime I remember those days and realise he's left me. We weren't gay, we were just really good friends and we still are to this day but I can't see him in person anymore
Brodire2012 That's really sad. :( Why can't you see him? Far away? Dead? Sorry if it's too personal, feel free to not answer.
TheCookieCrusader he moved away
John Of Onett i really like the game.BRING IT ON HATERS
I need more videos. I love this channel.
this is one of my favourite games im glad i found this
Finally, someone who doesn't hate sticker star!
Nicholas Cuevas I haven't tried Super Mario: Sticker Star, but I might try it out.
Sticker star sucks. I can't even get past the cheep cheep giant battle! He cheats by going in the water, and shooting ranged attacks! God dammit!😡
+Nicholas Cuevas I liked sticker star but not as much as Paper Mario.
My favorite Mario RPG was Thousand Year Door.
Hey uhh, don't have to boo him. This is his opinion, oh wait... This is UA-cam 2015. Where opinions go to hell...
***** "BOO!" YOU, Mr. Loser, Green Blunder!
I never played it but it might be cool i like super paper mario
The largest difference is the combat. In TTYD it's turn based.
Zee Gee green thunder is cool. but still. all paper mario games are good. (exept for sticker star which was OK not bad. but not good).
Just started watching your video's and it is different than anything ive ever seen. These videos are fucking awesome but its a shame that you only made 12 so far, Keep up the good work!
Yes! My favorite paper Mario game! Thousand year door comes in a close second though.
Also, in the screenshot where Peach was fighting the big blooper boss, Tippi was with her. This, in the final version of the game, is impossible due to Tippi being kidnapped at the beginning of the world. This means that Francis, the boss of the world, would have to have obtained the Pure Heart.
Yeah they definitely changed it up a lot with Super Paper Mario compared to a lot of their other RPG style games! It was a bitter sweet feeling for me really. I liked being able to do all those different sorts of attacks and choose strategically how to defeat the enemy. But, I also liked the fact that everything in Super Paper Mario was in real time instead of turn-based, so you could more easily dodge enemy attacks and attack multiple times before they get a single hit on you. xD
I loved the Thousand-Year Door. That game has a special place in my heart, and it is fantastic.
Man, I just subscriber! I find your vids pretty awesome. I love videos about betas showing what could have been...
"Super Mario Sticker Star"
Yup.
"Mario RPGs"
"Sticker Star"
Beta64 how high were you? Calling Sticker Star an RPG is an insult to the whole genre
Dave Strider It's an RPG at the bare minimal. A "story" you must take place in, turn based battle. It's still shit though
@@theobserver4214 unpopular opinion time.... sticker Star was a good game
2022 EDIT: after replaying it, it is not as good as I remember it being. Because it was really bad
@@bedsharing That's not an opinion, you're just wrong.
@@Samevi yep, I replayed it recently, I regret saying it was good.
@@bedsharing It's really disappointing, too. I wanted to like it so badly. The beta looked so promising with the chain chomp partner and all. And then the final product we got was just... Bleh.
"Great RPGS."
"Paper Mario Sticker Star."
You sir, need help.
i enjoy watching these
I think that the "kami_kuribo" is more in reference to kami (神) when not used in the context of kamikaze (神風). Anything compared to a God in the form of a Goomba is probably a manifestation of the Anti-guy in the original Paper Mario that was an optional battle, the one that was usually too hard to beat unless you came back chapters later. Since the Anti-guy was just a black-colored sprite, I thought I would draw some parallels there.
Travis Strong I also believe kami means paper in Japanese, so it may just be a paper goomba
It's true, either meaning could have been intended...but without the kanji we don't know which meaning was intended for sure. But regardless, your interpretation is correct too.
+Travis Strong Kami/koi = origami paper.
How is this not the most likely?
Kami means paper, God, and hair! I guess, it just meant paper.
HAIR GOOMBA
+Gregory Downes GOD GOOMBA
KAMIKAZE GOOMBA!!! WITH 99 HEALTH AND 10 ATTACK POWER
GOD GOOMBA.
Almighty explosion.

How did you write them?
The unused audio tracks are amazing!! It's such a shame they weren't taken avantage of.
I realize how you improved with your commentating voice :D
Nice video anyway and I really like SPM too!
8:42 - Yes, you could replcate it, it would be a bit different thogh, using the C stick and a cursor.
Thousand year door was the best paper mario game to date in my opinion. Although admittedly that's probably my bias talking. There's a certain charm to the jrpg style that has kept me playing it even to this day. I don't know if it's just me but I just don't feel the same way about spm and sticker star.
It's definitely not just you. It's actually common consensus that Thousand Year Door, and, to a lesser extent, the original Paper Mario are much better than the later entries in the series. I don't really even have any hope for Color Splash at this point.
This is not just your opinion, a lot of people agree that The Thousand Year Door was the best Paper Mario game they ever made and even the critics says the same, also many others consider the original game as the best, which i agree too because i like both games almost equally but i prefer PMTTYD a little more
In my opinion, the best is the original.
Raz ikr
Noooo because you couldn't save after the final boss. That was a total pain. Otherwise te original was an alright game.
Super Paper Mario was the most amazing game when I first played it. The idea of switching dimensions was absolutely original and new. I loved it and still do.
I can't wait for you to do the Beta64 of Super Mario Odyssey once it comes out!

I'm really wondering why developers leave so many unused files in the final game.
Cheaper to leave them in there than to pay someone to remove them that's my guess
+Austin Zolo I like to learn about beta stuff
If they'll remake this game, I hope they'll include all the unusued files in the remake.
The Dummy test track was used in paper mario color splash at the green toad house level.
As well as that,in that level you flip into 3D like in super paper mario.
6:26 they are used in fort francis and the song relax was probably the sleeping place that fully heals health
sticker star.... great rpg... those words don't mix very well
it would be fine as a typical mario game, but paper mario is prominently an RPG series... so when they try and remove leveling up, and that sort of stuff, it leaves a bad impression on fans of the series
im sure if they called the game just "mario sticker star" and maybe put some more time into the characters and story, it would be fine.
but as a paper mario game, it is lacking
replaced everything*
what the hell did they add
if anything they removed most of the stuff that made paper mario great
+Supirorguy508 They castrated the game and it was shit. sticker star that is
its bad as a paper mario game... maybe not if it were just a mario game
I freaking love Super Paper Mario, it was fantastic
Omg! This freaking amazing game was my childhood!
I just recently replayed the game and I absolutely loved it. I kinda wish they had put the Happy Flower music in though because it is so catchy.
>Sticker Star on the 3DS is a great RPG.
Eh, Dream Team and Paper Jam on the 3DS were great RPG's.
Sticker Star was sub-par.
I loved sticker star but super paper Mario and super Mario sunshine are the first games I played as far as my memory goes
Marsha Ricks/ #THE GAMING PRO I'm not saying to dislike the game.
It's just that, objectively, it's a sub-par game.
Especially when in comparison to the dynamic, intuitive and thrilling experiences of the original two Paper Mario games.
And compared to the M&L games it's the same deal as well, but those games are meant to have a different mechanics set to Paper Mario games. XP
It wasn't even an RPG.
Calebite It was a Role Playing Game.
It was just a not-very-well-made one.
It has all the elements of an RPG necessary to classify as one. Turn based battle, a story which you must take part in, a Health system... That's about it, but that is what's needed to call a game an RPG.
+Kidincred Gamez What story?
I have my SPM Disc, how do I check the files in my Windows PC?
You get the ROM and use filescrubber
This game brings back such good memory's
Oh god... that was in 2007? Where dis time go? I definitely need to replay this and the Thousand-Year-Door :) How I loved those games!
SPM is THE best game story wise in the franchise. Screw TTYD haters.
4:40 Super Mario Sticker Star for the 3DS?
Dummy was specifically taken from one of SMB3's vinyl album releases seemingly, going by the pops
I liked all of the unused audio tracks, especially relax and bitlands. Unfortunately I wasn't much of a fan of this game, I just recently got to finally play it, and admittedaly (sp) I only played it for about two hours or so, but it just didn't really feel like Paper Mario to me. Mostly it was the story and character design and aesthetic that felt jarring within the Paper Mario backdrop. I will also have to say that the only other Paper Mario game I've played was the N64 title. I played through that one several times, and through different languages and each localization was special and fun. Unfortunately a few years ago I had to part with my Gamecube, but someday I would really like to try Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. Anyways, thank you for your entertaining and interesting videos!
In the unused bit lands track I hear lugi's mansion
This game is SO underated!
The unused pixl was unlikely to be used for flipping into 3d, as in the e3 trailer (8:57) It shows Mario flipping into 3d with Thoreau.
I love Thousand-Year Door but Super Paper Mario has always had my heart. ❤️
Yeah, there's a level system. Every time you get an HP-UP heart, your HP goes up and your attack increases a little bit.
You nintendo peeps are always carrying on about creepypasta songs. Well that bitlands theme at 7:54 was fucking disturbing.
I don't see how...
How is that disturbing? It's a remix of an 8-bit song.
wait disturbing? how is it disturbing its a remix of the original super mario bros theme i find it pretty awsome
If you listen the River Twygz Bed theme you will see what scariest this music is.
This game was a BIG part of my childhood!
Love this game, and now my oldest son loves it too!
Paper Mario Sticker Star sucks
...but Super Paper Mario is a Great Paper Mario Game
i agree with you
I love paper Mario sticker star. look past the fact that its not what you wanted and you see its a very fun game.
+Brendan Siwik (WitherDead123) it's absolutely broken and empty of any good, gripping storyline like the past games, and you only have one partner, the enemies are bland, and the hub world is so small and empty, all the toads are the same, etc etc
But still, opinions aren't fact, but overall, it was a huge disappointment, and even if it is pretty OK, it's still infamous for being the worst out of the series, it could be good, but the others are better, and Nintendo hasn't learnt from it at all
at last in color splash u have a new place the special atacks aren't bigger cards unlimited card space
Yeah Sticker Star was a hit and miss
Could you do the beta of the original Paper Mario?
I ask for the same... and about Paper Mario TTYD too.
2:04 also tippi is in the fight with big blooper and in the final game tippi was captured by francies
Super Paper Mario was and is Amazing! It was actually the first game I got play using Luigi in and I loved it... Though I had no idea you could play as Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy before that. But the mechanics, music, and story along with it's characters were great!
doesnt the song relax sound like it should be the ending theme for pokemon mystery dungeon red rescue team
i imagine happy flower song playing when alpha flowey learned that vilence was no longer needed
no, just no
come on flowey!
In this world its save or be saved
no that's underfell flowey
still
stop
In Color Splash there is a segment where you flip between 2D and an Isometric 3D perspective of a Mario Bros. 3 retro world, its possible they planned to do this in SPM but either was cut due to time or because they already had alot of retro references in the game.
This game will always be my favourite Mario game! It was the first game I played with my dad!
