Carlito brushed over Sergeant Guy, which is a shame since he along with Corporal Paraplonk and Private Goomp are genuinely three of my favorite Mario characters
13:12 on that topic. A lot of people blame Miyamoto for the lack of new original characters, because he supposedly ordered the devs to not do that. Actually what happened was that Miyamoto just popped into their office, the devs asked for advice, Miyamoto said "idk, maybe don't make new characters" as a suggestion and the devs took it as gospel.
@@kyx5631 yup, on the side of "miyamoto killed paper mario". The video below is from a channel, that has looked at this case really close. But I understand, watching a video and realizing you've been lied to is hard work, so I'll summarize it here. Miyamoto's job when it came to paper mario was occasionally play test sticker star. He found it boring and suggested that maybe it doesn't really need a deep story and they should focus on gameplay instead and to mostly use preexisting characters. Tanade then took Miyamoto's "gameplay first" philosophy to deep and killed sticker star. Intelligent Systems has total control on what they can do with paper mario. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hFqizj8WNJc.html
its very possible its a translation issue with japanese. i think ryu means like lightning or something and of course theyre parodying street fighter so they made "ryu guy" a martial artist. then, translating it to english they were probably like "whats the closest thing to lightning? zeus guy? whatever" instead of keeping the original japanese name
@@happysqWidNot sure how much you still care, but I had a look at the fan wiki, and unfortunately the Japanese name has nothing to do with it (literally Karate practitioner) . Although there is no explicit explanation for its English name, I believe it is because of the "crackling projectiles" that it shoots at the player, which are in actuality chi blasts. This gave reason to name the Guy after Zeus, since the chi blasts acted like a lightning attack, stunning the player on contact.
On the comment on how dark paper Mario gets, remember that in the main town in Thousand Year Door there's just a public execution site? Like, that's a common cultural activity there.
wild to assume that just cause it wasn’t shown in this edited watch-along it must not be in the original. If we’re going off that logic he “forgot” way more than gourmet guy lol
Warning: VERY pedantic correction ahead. When pronouncing Sergeant Guy's name, the existence of Private Goomp and Corporal Paraplonk implies that Sergeant Guy is named such, not because he IS a guy but rather becuase his NAME is 'Guy' (likely his surname, but he may also only go by one name). Because of this, the emphasis in pronunciation should be on 'Guy', rather than 'Sergeant' as is heard in the video. That trio are my favourite characters in all of Mario, and I could not stand for this disrespect to a hard-earned sergeant's name.
"There can't be that many" bro I'm playing superstar saga rn and there are fucking laser guys (edit lmao told ya), not to mention those cannon sniffits in partners(edit: also told ya), there are so fucking many! 5:45 i forgot about those. GOD inside story has banger sprites, that game is GORGEOUS! Edit: Oh yeah I just beat the woohoo hooniversity. Teehee valley has one of the most iconic Soundtracks in the whole series because my boy ceave gaming used it all the time. Rest in peace, may heaven be filled with beautiful fuzzies and not shiny yet deadly coins! (Idk if he's dead, he just vanished...) Edit2: oh yeah superstar saga also has chuck guys...they're called "savage guys" in the german Version tho which is beyond not cool. Also forgot about leaf guys from inside story, they're part of the wiggler bossfight, you can suck them in and then they drop their giant turnip to instantly turn the wiggler weak but you have to fight them as Mario and luigi in bowser's stomach. Yes, this is one of the greatest game ever made Edit3: 13:33 yoo I made a tiktok about this guy, I love him, he's just this little dude standing in the back of some encounters and breakinf it down like his life depends on it! The fawfulized enemies may be disgusting at first but you learn to love their weird creepy designs if you've played that game as many times as I have. Edit4: 16:55 ayo that's my guy! He's one of a trio of bowser minions who I think betray him spinelessly for fawful and come crawling back to him in the Post Credit scene, I love them they're so stupid and incompetent
Even miraculous did a robocop parody like 3 times with a guy named Roger getting turned into the villain rogercop (I hate this show so much why do I do this to myself?). I guess it's a hot Film for kid's shows to reference
Yoshi's Island indeed came out a long time after SMB2 (1988). HOWEVER, SMB2 wasn't playable in Japan until 1993. Yoshi's Island came out in 1995, so it was only 2 years. This is also probably why Super Mario RPG used SMB2 enemies so heavily. They had just been introduced to Japan a few years earlier.
Carlito forgot another one, the shy guy riding an ostro from super mario bros 2. Altough nice video. Looking forward for the carlito's "the many colors of the Toads" video.
But where was the white shy guy from yoshi’s story that will fly to bowser’s castle and save a captured Yoshi. Or the limbo guys? My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
8:35 isnt there like a whole moment in one of the mario and luigi games where you follow logs of some dude slowly turning into a shy guy Its pretty dark
