One thing i hate about these quests is there is no special dialogue for when you talk to the history teacher to get the locations after catching them. In class she is going “do you believe they are real?” My character is going “they are on my team right now.”
Quick correction: you don’t get HIS fuse back from the Blooper. You get the fuse of his late childhood friend who died in an accident before the events of the game, and Bobby keeps his friend’s fuse as a memento. It’s kinda poetic how a Bob-omb who lost his body and a Bob-omb who lost his fuse combine into one for a big explosion
my tubba blubba memory was being near death from the heart on my first playthrough and bearly wining despite he only has 10? hp because he had like 3 attack and i had very little left after the heart
Actually, the bosses from Sticker Star do have logical weaknesses. The Megasparkle Goomba is comprised of numerous smaller Goombas and can be blown apart with the Fan; Tower Power Pokey's individual segments can be knocked away with the Baseball Bat (the boss arena kind of looks like a baseball stadium, providing a hint to this); your multi-hit stickers don't lose their multi-hit abilities in the later battles with Kamek where he turns everything into Sandals; Gooper Blooper's poison attack can be deflected back at him with the Sponge; the Big Cheep Cheep has to be reeled in with the Giant Fishhook (this one's absolutely necessary); Bowser Jr. in his second boss battle carries Bob-ombs over his head which can be knocked down into him with Hurlhammers; Big Boo can be vacuumed up; Mizzter Blizzard is extremely weak to fire and healed by ice; Bowser Jr. in his final battle has a dome shield that reduces almost all damage, but can be destroyed by batting his own missiles back at it with a Tail; Bowser's first form summons enemies from a hole in the wall that can be patched up with Tape; Bowser's second form uses a Whomp that can be sliced apart with Scissors; Bowser's third form attacks with Podoboos that can be frozen with Shaved Ice; Bowser's fourth form attacks with a Chain Chomp that can be batted back at him with the Tail; and Bowser's final form is Nigh Invulnerable until plot-related stuff happens.
Dark moon has more midboss ghosts Those big brain dudes that throw books and your first encounters with the enhanced ghosts (plus the chained ones) Some of them even use the special boss theme that the three sisters have
This must not be who the best companions are. Goombella is 100% the best companion out of the first two Paper games. She's essentially like having a second mario. Yoshi probably comes in at number 2. But Vivian at 1 is total simp behavior. Besides her burn effect, she's nothing special. Definitely middle of the road here. But I can appreciate Lady Bow on the list. She is actually very good.
The Shadow Queen was a good reveal, too. It made so much sense to see the Shadow Sirens plotting from all those years ago to revive their ruler/mother.
I appreciate the SPM love! Most people blow it off because it has different gameplay than the other Paper Mario games, but I'm glad you gave it an equal chance. Tbh, I feel like SPM has some of, if not the best Mario characters in all Mario games.
2:21 actually you don’t have to fight him, you can skip him if you say your “Luigi”. He will pester you every-time you walk past that bridge until you beat him thought.
I still don't understand how in all 3 of the games he appears in, Louie survives indefinitely, without essential resources from his home planet. Olimar had a deadline set by limited life support in 1 and 4. The koppaites were able to extend their time in 3 by hoarding food from the planet and converting it into juice, but there's still the breathing problem. Louie never even transformed into a leafing.
Vivian is definitely the best partner in the Paper Mario games. I love her so much. She is so sweet and is very helpful in battle. She was my go-to to in the original Thousand Year Door on the GameCube and will be my go-to in the Switch remake. Vivian rules!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Okay okay <-- not normal reasons why i thinkkk terapagos would be higher on the tiers: Based entirely on everything related to the functioning of Tera Orbs, and Stellar Terapagos' own behavior as a boss fight, the functioning of Pokéballs during tera raid battles (and the time machine itself) as well as the fact it's supposed to be the region's stand in for a legendary such as Necrozma and Eternatus (ie. somewhat reality-bending energy-based crystal pokémon from which body the region's gimmick is born) I'm pretty sure Terapagos would have the odds on it's favor when facing certain legendaries, let's start with the weather trio pals, Teraform Zero is clearly meant to be an "overpowered" or at least increasingly powerful version of the Tera Orb's own function, that is: turn environmental energy into terastal energy (refer to pokémon sca/vio artbook, though this is the reason why at first the tera orb needs to be constantly recharged. as well as what the animation does both when recharging and using it in battle, sparkles flow around the player when the Tera Orb recharges and when someone uses the tera orb, it begins to absorb as much energy as possible from it's surroundings before releasing it as a saturated form of terastal energy which even manifests a crystal, just like the energy-saturated air of the under depths which Briar theorizes to be the reason the crystals solidify there. you're sucking up energy from the environment to turn it into terastal energy) Thus, using this information we could deduct that Terapagos would be able to nullify the immediate effects of Groudon's and Kyogre's weather powers, especially since they're caused by their power ergo, energy which Terapagos would have an easier time consuming through its ability, and while it doesn't happen in-game, the argument could be made that because of the higher saturation of energy, Terapagos could grow stronger through this (as well as iirc having already faced the black Rayquaza in the horizons anime without needing to go Stellar) for similar reasons, weather powers, Terapagos could potentially deal with other pokémon which somewhat affect weather, including Reshiram and Zekrom (whom fair enough don't directly affect the weather but their power is enough to cause effects nonetheless iirc) and given Terapagos has the power to actively absorb energy, based on it absorbing your own tera energy during battle, as well as the strongest tera raid Pokemon being able to discharge your tera orb by "stealing" it's charge [and we're following the argument that anything a tera pokemon can do is because terapagos most likely can even do better] we could also conclude that Terapagos might have a possibility to drain other types of energy and turn it into power for itself when a Pokemon loses it's tera form because of terapagos they always look drained or confused for a second, so it's not impossible to conclude that terapagos might steal a bit of it's infinity energy when taking the terastal energy. ... now, I believe it would have a good time dealing with any pokémon which is synthetic in nature or otherwise is mechanic, which granted... not many legendaries fully fall into this category, at best melmetal and that one living robot one, genesect perhaps, and if you want to STRREEETCCCH it beyond what even I am comfortable theorizing: mewtwo why? Because terastal energy can empower machines, yes, it powers up an entire "time machine" with just the energy of terastal crystals born from a slumbering Terapagos, it causes every pokéball in a tera raid to terastalize and thus always catch a pokémon without fail (this is why it crystalizes and lets you catch a high leveled pokemon with a measly base pokéball) but seeing it's battle, when Terapagos is being recalled to the masterball, if you look at it closely, the blue beam of the masterball makes contact with the "shields" Terapagos puts up and then the beam begins to absorb the terastal energy, because it begins to fill up with all the flashy constantly changing colors from the shields, and then, the master ball is not only thrown off Kieran's hand, but it breaks and looks highly damaged Terastal energy can overcharge and destroy any form of technology if enough of it is concentrated, the masterball was overcharged and when empowered it tried to keep attempting to recall Terapagos only absorbing more Tera energy until it literally blew apart into pieces Terapagos might be able to employ a similar tactic though on purpose if having to deal with synthetic legendary pokémon
based also on the terastal phenomenon coating pokémon with crystal through their bodies that tera energy loves to infect and expand, to the point trees in area zero have their roots crystalized beyond what terastalizing pokémon does to them and finally the overgrown but eternally frozen crystal tree nearby the chamber of Terapagos, if he had it's full power, ergo... wasn't a sleepy just-awoken baby turtle of it's species ... needless to say, it would most likely doom anything by coating it in crystals permanently it really is just a baby version of the threats Necrozma and Eternatus could become
Fun fact: The reason the Shifty Sticker (Tape) sounds like a monster is because someone decided that the case looked like a car and Tape the driver. Additionally, the little metal piece that Tape puts on in the 2nd phase are a parallel to brass knuckles.
With Nintendo's new survey about both paper Mario and the Mario and Luigi series... it's possible we might be getting stories like this in the Mario series again.
if you think, Mario defeated Dreamy Bowser and Count Bleck and King Boo defeated Mario in 1 second so i think King Boo deserves to be in the very first place
I love all of the koopalings, but my favorite of all of them has to be Iggy, followed by Lemmy and Ludwig. I like the craziness about Iggy, and I actually also have a shirt with him on it.
I'm assuming you just looked at the auto generated RU-vid chapters and then commented this because I talked about Mew not Mewtwo lol. As for Pecharunt, perhaps I'll do an updated list down the line 👍
