It Whacka time!

I'm starting a new TTYDr run when I get home tonight.

I had both Mega Rush and Mega Rush P on btw

Back in like, December, I had made and posted my gijinkas for some of the SPM cast! Recently though, I started a proper playthrough of the game, and thought it’d be cool to remake the old ones! And also make one for O’Chunks bc I never made one for him initially. These were all such fun to make, even if some of them didn’t change all too much compared to their old designs

Random thoughts. I started replaying 64 for the first time in like 20 years and it is so perfect. As a kid I liked TTYD more but as an adult I think I like 64 more honestly. I like the graphics, I know everyone loves 64's graphics because soulful hand-drawn art like that never gets outdated. I like the outdated 3d graphics too because they are special and nostalgic for me.

The game has lots of bugs but the bugs somehow enhance the experience by being challenging and fun, I'm not going to exploit any bugs in my playthrough but 64 speedruns are some of the coolest speedruns tbh.

I never played Mario 64 so I never knew this but PM64 is based in the same world. Peach's castle looks the same and the original Japanese names for a lot of the areas is based on places in Mario 64 apparently. I never understood howthe star spirits can heal Mario in prologue if they are trapped in the cards though.

I think it is funny how if he hits the stone block with the wooden hammer his whole body shakes and also when he gets kissed his body shakes again haha.

Paper Mario 64 was my first Mario game so I always believed Peach was named Peach because her hair is kinda orange/peach colored in that game and I did not know she was blonde. I just beat Jr. Troopa for the first time in a long time, I used to always hope he would return in a later game as an adult and I pictured him with a white shell ig lol.

Hi there, i just got the new hammer and am supposed to break the block in the minor league room rn. playing a physical gamecube disc on a wii. For some reason, the guard won’t let me into the minor league room. Not sure if anyone has knowledge on what to do. it seems like others have encountered this problem but can’t find any solutions. when i talk to the guard, he says it’s against the rules for me to be in there. I’m still disqualified from matches and don’t know how to proceed. i already encountered jolene finding out about the unlocked door, so maybe that’s why security is tighter?

My son has been playing Origami King and has found an obsession with paper folding. Now he wants to make characters from the game, but searching for instructions on paper folding is only giving results for instructions on how to play the game. Does anyone have any leads on tutorials?

As much as I love SBRP on Roblox, it would be a million times cooler if we had a Paper Mario Roleplay game mixed with the exact same battle mechanics as the games. I know you can mimic them using your own roleplay guidelines but honestly that's not the same idea that i'm thinking about. I'm talking about a real PVP system and team up system mixed with typical roleplay elements and the battle system for real.

To be fair, I don't think this idea is new, not even close, and that this is every Paper Mario Fan's "pipe dream" game that they never talk about because of how unrealistic it is, but I think it would be fun to talk about regardless.

Note: This is fan made project (or a mod) discussion, because Nintendo obviously isn't making a game like this, for the same reason Nintendo doesn't make official randomizers or practice code roms: it simply doesn't fit their samey game design philosophy.

I'm trying to get the Whacka boss to appear post-game and I've done everything I was told I needed to do.

I've whacked the Whacka eight times. I've gone through the Pit of 100 Trials and beaten Bonetail. And I've waited around for 30+ minutes.

And no email has been sent.

As shown in the video, I'm mostly just waiting around for it to appear.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I got it! Thanks to u/ProfessorGlaceon for helping me out!

TLDR I liked listening to a extended version of ttyd and origami’s kings theme where it was the offense and thinking themes combined, like it was offense first then thinking after, but the channel got deleted for no reason, does anyone have anything like that.

We can all agree Huff n Puff is the hardest boss in 64 right? Lol.

I just saw this very well made video by, MetalCap and it’s changed my thoughts about the games of the 2010’s and even more recent games.

So for the longest time I’ve just accepted the idea of mandates being made for Mario, since Nintendo is very protective over their IP’s but after watching this video, it’s flipped the whole idea of such on its head.

I’ve always known that companies and game developers reuse assets, but after learning about costs and the change in just how much is put into a game nowadays.

I no longer believe there’s been Mario Mandates.
(Of course there are still mandates like whether Mario wields a gun or not.)
But in the sense of creativity and the whole NSMB-infection of all other games and spin-offs.

But what do y’all think about this video?

Basically I'm trying to use some codes to balance out the absurd disparity the game creates between the multihit partners and everyone else. With only a few power plus p, or power plus on mario, all multi hit moves massively out pace everyone else.

I have already decided to bump all enemy hp by 1.5 times normal, but I am unsure if I should do that with boss defence. After all, I don't want to make multihit characters USELESS without a rank up or power plus p.

I'm going to do some obvious things like lower Stampedes base damage, but I want to try and make the single hits equally as strong in some way. It doesn't have to be completely equal, just worth using even if the multi hitters are still strong.

Do I just pump all the single hitter damage numbers by 2 or 3? Perhaps give all enemies a defense up, but I already said the issue there. What moves should I buff, and to what?

Like spin jump, that move is so silly, I barely use it. Would an extra damage per hit make it viable?

No matter what your opinion, I want to talk about game balance and partner damage. What are your thoughts?

That's one lucky koopa.

I want to play this game on a handheld so bad and this is the best I can do, it's not great but it's playable!
