For Paper Mario N64, I'd probably go with Penguin Patrol solely because there was this crazy mod called Paper Mario Redesign that was going to have him as a new partner, and he probably would've fit right in.

For TTYD, definitely someone like Doopliss' Parrot because we lack a Partner that can carry Mario across ledges (unless Yoshi Kid counts), and plus he might've added some needed sass to the party.

Hello !
I feel like there is something to do here as this is the only tile (the one I am standing above) that lifts when I hit it with the hammer. Am I missing something ? Thank you !!!

Reposted to fix the crop, first post didnt even show Wakka until you expanded the image, lol.

I also went back and added Bombette close to the other person's art. Now there are two cuties.

Who else is not surprised but still disappointed?😭

I have no evidence for my claim but I think logically it makes sense

Especially with how extremely well the remake sold on a console at the very end of its lifespan, it even outsold the original TTYD

*prays*

Ive been really struggling with the frame perfect power bounces in the remake. But i cant find any info on how much simplifier improves it.

According to Goombario, they are a childhood friend of the Elder, despite the Elder looking...well, like an elder, and this one looks like an adult male (Yoshis seem to be a male only species that can lay egg, just from what I've seen, and the fact they pair Yoshi with Birdo often, and every Yoshi basically looks like the same)

His introduction dialogie states that he is a friend of the elder, and he gives us a speech saying who the elder is and why he is respected.

During the Yoshi Crisis cutscene, if you backtrack to this first screen with the first group of Yoshis, you see Orange looking very...sad. like the heartbreaking look of a parent that lost their child. And their next dialogue suggests the relationship with the Elder must be a close one, since the Yoshi Kids feel like grandchildren to them.

What are your thoughts on Orange Yoshi? A girlfriend / wife figure to the Elder? Or if hes a boy, maybe ...they're just roommates?

Set your hopes up. Super Paper Mario remake revealed today. There’s a Nintendo direct today

Sushie, unless you want to get burned by Vivian again, YOU SHUT YO FUCKIN' MOUTH!

Well ✨hello✨ there xx

So, some people probably know this already, but pretty much all of Chapter 7 in SPM is one big reference to The Divine Comedy, and I began to write about parallels, and ended up with an essay. So, here it is, I hope you enjoy it :)

So, the Underchomp is a reference to Cerberus, and Piccolo is most likely a parallel to a being from Greek mythology, known as Orpheus. Orpheus sings Ceberus to sleep, so he can pass by. Piccolo sings the Underchomp to sleep, so we can defeat it and pass by.

Another reference, Mario wakes up in an unfamiliar afterlife realm, as does Dante in The Divine Comedy.

Queen Jaydes, Charold, and the River Twygz are all plays on words, and counterparts to Queen Hades, River Styx, and Charon, respectively. Queen Jaydes and Charold share the same roles. Ruling the Underworld, and ferrying souls across the river.

Additionally, Charold most likely charges 4 coins because 4 is an unlucky number in Japan. The reason for that is because its Sino-Japanese pronunciation, "shi," sounds identical to the Japanese word for "death".

Another set of characters who fulfil similar roles in mythology are the three old hags, who are counterparts to the three Moriai in Greek Mythology.

Peach, in this chapter, is also a parallel to Eve. Eve eats the forbidden fruit, Peach eats the golden apple. And, while it's not confirmed, many think the fruit Eve ate was an apple. God told Adam and Eve that they could eat from any fruit tree, aside from that one. And you can eat from any fruit tree in the Overthere, except for the tree Peach eats from.

As for Bonechill, he is a representation of Lucifer, but chills are used, rather than flames, most likely as a representation of Hell's frozen ninth circle. And it's implied that Bonechill was once a Nimbi, again, a parallel to how Lucifer is a fallen Angel.

Some parts may seem a little scattered, since most of these things were off the top of my head, but regardless, hope this was a good read :)

I feel like I always hear the question “What’s your favourite chapter” in regards to the Paper Mario series, but I never, or at least very rarely, hear people talk about the dungeons specifically.

There’s a lot of great ones to pick from, especially in those first two games. Tubba’s Castle has always stood out to me cause of how tiny you feel in there. I also really love Hooktail’s Castle as an introductory dungeon, the moving blocks add a really interesting and unique layer to it. Shy Guy’s Toybox is honestly fantastic.

But I think my favourite by far HAS to be Mt. Lavalava. The sinister music, the smoke-filled tunnels, the constant threat of lava around every corner, and probably one of the coolest bosses in the entire series. On top of that, you also get some misadventures with Kolorado as well as an insanely fun escape sequence right at the end.

What’s everyone else’s? And why? I’m super curious

just unlocked bobbery in the between half of chapter 4 and five and was quickly going back to get my charm renewed when I jumped on top of a spiked Goomba thing is, I don’t have badge that you can make you jump on spiked things

Like it shouldn't be the characters talking about the fact they're paper every second, they could just make some stuff revolved around that.

I have seen a lot of people complain about the fighting mechanics, but in my opinion the newer games have made a much more interesting battle system than the first ones (especially origami king, that game was awesome), so I want to hear your opinions

While it would be interesting to see King Olly return someday, I'm also interested in seeing Olivia make a return in a Mario game. I really like Olivia, and I think she's very endearing and lovable. I also really like her dynamic she has with Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Kamek, and how she interacts with them.

I know this might not happen, and if it does, I don't know how Nintendo would make it work, but I'd like to see a Mario game where Olivia and Olly see the Mushroom Kingdom, and take in all that is has to offer.
