    Technically, the unrecoverable coin total in your run was 17, since you got 7 coins back by selling off the items whose purchases were absolutely necessary for progression.
    Also, according to wiki info, various items sell for different amounts depending on the shops you sell them off at. Dizzy Dials consistently sell for 6 coins each across all shops, but Dried Shrooms sell for 4 coins at the Twilight Shop, instead of 1 like they do everywhere else. So, if you could have held that Dried Shroom until unlocking the Twilight Shop, you could have recovered 3 more coins; this would bring the unrecoverable coin total down to *14.*

    I remember when I was younger I got really good at Super Guards specifically and there were several enemies in this game I was too lazy to fight correctly (especially if they wanted me to use items or special moves to pierce their defenses) so I would just casually beat the enemies exclusively by super guarding them.

    This is waaay late, but I thought I'd point something out. If I've put 2 and 2 together properly, the reason Vivian doesn't benefit from badges in the final Doopliss fight is because some partner triggers are placed on either Doopliss or your OG partners. My evidence is that I've done a few cheat playthroughs with 999 hp on Mario and partners. When Vivian isn't there for the Ch 4 finale, initially, Doopliss gets 999 hp as well. Idk that ALL partner boosts get applied to the foe's side, but I'd imagine that's why Charge P wasn't working.

    Should note that super guard, in some cases, also reflects against ranged attacks. The most notable example is pokeys when they launch body segments, but i believe there is a few others on the list.
    Ive always been a fan of the zap-tap badge. If you fail the counter, you still reflect the damage, and the badge also completely negates certain enemies. Every fuzzy class enemy cannot latch on with the electro shield (to the point that i have ground out a full level in a single battle against green ones who can duplicate, with the trivia of a 100 star point cap in every battle being discovered along the way), and they are arguably the hardest enemies to super guard. I believe swoopers are also weak, and i cant recall of bullet bills are, but it would make the keyhaul grinding completely automatic without a macro if so. Then again, all that is assuming you do a pit run before the endgame to earn it, but i know ive done it as early as chapter 2 before. Zap shrooms are rare outside of shops, but it is at least a temporary alternative.

I've always been the kind to needlessly complicate things by not using inns, not buying items, rarely using items, things like that.

    Flurrie's Gale Force is an excellent move, but I'm surprised to not see Lip Lock show up at all. An HP-draining move coupled with Flurrie's relatively high HP stat seems like it'd be great for tanking, especially since it pierces defense. I guess Charge + Multibonk (or yoshi's moves) are just that good.

  • @dirkmon97
    @dirkmon97 6 місяців тому +1

    This is a real cool video, glad I came across it in my reccommendations. Some thoughts after watching to the end:
    - Cortez's weapons in the final phase normally come back any time they are defeated, but Flurrie's Gale Force can take them off the board permanently. Your strategy is one I don't see often but it seems to work just as well.
    - The Goldbomb "all your coins" request can actually turn this into a far more intense playthough if you incorporate it into your plans. If you've got a deathwish, you can take that into consideration by minimizing all coin gains before that point (I.e. no unnecessary battles, meaning no extra levels, until AFTER that moment). That'd be an interesting but devastating twist...

    the video is a year old by now but I'd like to point out the unique nature of Doopliss' final fight in the steeple.
    The way Vivian enters that battle is unique and is only ever done in this one battle, she occupies a 2nd partner slot which means if you had used glitches or cheats to have your normal partners there, they would be in the battle(and the badges would actually work) and vivian would still join you and appear over the active partner. Since she occupies the invisible 2nd slot badges don't work since all of the badges are coded only to work on partner slot 1 which remains empty since mario's party is coded to be empty at this stage of the game. It makes sense to do it this way though

      ​​​​@@MandatoryPixelThe answer is in the comment section of the video "Odd things about Doopliss" by Koop. Koop mentions this glitch in his video, and Jdaster64 elaborates in the comment section.
      The game runs a check at the start of each battle to apply badge effects to Mario and his partners. However, since the battle starts without Vivian, the game doesn't apply any badge effects to her. The programmers forgot to run the check again once Vivian enters the battle, so she ends up without the badge effects.
      This isn't related to Mario's partners being your enemies, because badges such as Simplifier or Unsimplifier also don't apply to Vivian's action commands (but they work with Mario's). It's not just the Partner badges being affected, it's all badge effects related to Vivian herself.

    You can bypass Zess T. with the hazard respawn glitch in the sewers’ fast travel rooms, but you’d have to use the glitch every time you have to go to West Rogueport until you get the Ultra Hammer to remove the concrete block. And by necessity, every attempt of the hazard respawn glitch will cost one HP.
    Also, you can make phase 3 of Cortez much easier by using Flurry’s Gale Force to completely remove the weapons from battle.

    Here's a challenge, go through the game without using any of the good badges, only the shitty ones, and you min-max your BP, don't level up any other stat until after your BP is topped off. Also, no item shops (badge shops and casinos are okay though), no deliberate grinding, and some kind of limitation on how much you can use special moves.

    Well done challenge and video!
    I did a similar challenge (PM TTYD no healing / no buying from shops except for badges). Obviously couldn’t buy badges in this challenge but the main strategy used for healing throughout the game was the badge “sleepy Stomp” which you can get in the pit of 100 trials. For a mere 2 FP you could put an enemy to sleep for 5 turns and then heal up with sweet treat.
    The next major strat that helped was Ms Mowz and her “hidden ability”. In the game even if the enemy isn’t “holding” an item and you use kiss thief you can still grab things. It’s a set chance per enemy on what they hold. Enemies in the rouge port sewers hold power rush badges (Koopa troopa family / shady koopas) and after a few of them you unlock danger Mario with +10 attack and there’s no need to really set up charges anymore. Personally also put on flower saver so sleepy stomp was only 1 fp
    Edit: enemies toward the end of the pit of 100 trials can also secretly hold life shrooms which is very useful if you are low on them

    13:40(ish) - thats probly in reference to how Pro Wrestling (WWE/AEW/etc) does it-- you have your Champion (like Dwayne "Rock Hawk" Johnson here), but then the other guys still have to Compete to see who the Number One Contender is...usually, this is the guy that won the recent Pay-Per-View Main Event (like Royal Rumble), because its a Privilege to have a chance at a Title Match, it has to be EARNED...no one else has 'the privilege' of a match being for the Belt, even if its against the current champion (unless the Storyline needs it to be, but thats a-whole-nother can of worms)...that way, the Champion can still have matches for the fans, without fear of losing the title to some mid-carder...but if the Champion is booked into a match with the Number One Contender, its more likely to be a Title Match, where the belt will go to the Winner of that match (and the Loser will be bumped down to "Number One Contender" for a Rematch, or perhaps they will start a Losing Streak and fall down the card, with someone completely new taking NOC, to reach for the Title)
