Interesting Changes In The Paper Mario TTYD Remake | Coin Bonuses, Anti Guys, and More! 

The Anti-Guys will drag your partner off stage in the event that they can't act during an attack. For example, I had koops on his back because I failed to guard an attack from a parakoopa and when I used Earth Tremor the anti-guy dragged Koops off screen because he couldn't jump up onto the star with mario.

Haven’t seen it mentioned, but there’s a warp pipe in Chapter 4 that cuts the number of Twilight Trail trips down from five to three.

The Anti-guys doing stage setup may be a reference to kurogo in Japanese theater, stagehands/actors/etc wearing all black to signify the person isn't part of the action, be it moving a set piece or "playing" the role of a non human character by holding a prop and a likely source of the pop culture image of ninja wearing all black

When I beat the pit I saw a mover that lets you return to floor 50 for 300 coins

I mean the mushroom change makes sense, since "shrooms" is a term that is associated with illegal drugs in the US, not sure about everywhere else

In theater, the back stage crew wears black to hide in the shadows behind the stage, which is why black shy guys fix the fog machine, they are the stage crew.

Shroom getting changed to Mushroom, to me, sounds more like they had more text space to write out the full name of the item this time, rather than any sort of censorship or translation style change. After all, Paper Mario 64 only had about an 11 to 12-ish character limit per item or badge name and a slightly larger one for Key Items, and there was a similar limitation for TTYD originally. It's why Super Jump Charge in PM64 was shortened to "S. Jump Chg" or something such, for example. A more modern game doesn't really have to think about those sorts of limitations as much. It can just have names about as long as you could reasonably need for any item in the game to be written out fully.

One little quirk I noticed was that you can hammer smash even the little flowers in the open world map and find coins in them, they added so much interactivity! As a die hard lifetime TTYD fan, I’m having so much fun just discovering even the smallest changes, I’m having a blast 😎 I will say though, I wish the dialogue and scrolling through menu options was faster, and wish the difficulty could be increased somehow! Doesn’t ruin my experience though, it’s still a 10/10 for me

I was fighting in the glitz pit and one of my conditions was to not swap out partners, when my partner died the anti guys dragged him out and it went from TTYD to color splash

When you mentioned Macho Grubba freezing at 9:13, I HAD to see it myself. It really is hilarious! If anyone else wants to see that, it's a VOD called "Gonzales Adventure" & happens at 1:37:18.

When you level up all partners heal not just the active one. When a partner is fainted at 0 hp at the end of the battle theu will be heals at 1 hp

They probably used the Switch’s built in keyboard for naming the Yoshi so it could stop people from calling their Yoshi something like “Hitler” or “Pissboy” or whatever, so basically anything that’s deemed inappropriate

I think they used the switch keyboard for naming yoshi so that anybody of any language could name the yoshi whatever they’d like. Then they used the in-game keyboard later so that it would be less obvious that they removed a certain letter

I noticed they changed the Hammer Throw badge. It seems to deal 2 piercing damage now, like Quake Hammer.

Here’s what I discovered: in Rogueport, when you kill the cockroaches with your hammer, you get coins

i found out you could retry the pit levels which i think kinda sucks; but i was trying to grab a badge with kiss thief when i did die and... the layout actually rerolls when you retry - i just wanted to see what retrying did and threw the battle to lose after it but i think thats interesting to note

I think the localizer this time just wasn't as creative with the "shroom" thing. That's all. It was retranslated from scratch.

6:28 are we not gonna talk about this part?

Some stuff from chapter 4: If you beat Desmond for the first time while wearing the W Emblem, there are 2 NPCs in Twilight Town who have their dialogue altered to account for the change and Desmond will appear in the W Emblem palette for the rest of the chapter, whether you unequip the badge or not. Additionally, he's given a life shroom if you one shot him, so that you can't skip the mid-battle Vivian dialogue anymore.

Write a script. Can cut down on like, um, but yeah, another thing etc.

I just saw the anti-guys like an hour ago. It's wild seeing such strong enemies so casually.

So glad I took one last peek in RU-vid before going to sleep

I’m glad the coin economy is better, I always had to sell badges to get lots of coins in the original.

The switch keyboard for Yoshi is not a surprise Basically All switch games use it now Probably to avoid Any overflow hacking on switch

Has anyone noticed if theres any updates to your save file when you complete things. Such as markers or medals to signify beatinf the story, pit, tattle log, recipes, etc? That would be a nice feature i think.

The reason black clothed shy guys appear on stage in battles is in reference to Japanese kabuki theatre where stagehands, called Kurogo, wear all black outfits with face covering black hoods to signify they aren't part of the production and primarily help the kabuki actors change their outfits during a performance

first attack costing 0 badge points owned be because i withheld getting it for backtracking because i couldnt be bothered to fork over the single badge point while backtracking but eventually i got it after chapter 6 and oops its free now

Shrooms were changed because it's a drug reference.

The unique battle music in each area was such a pleasant surprise

One of my guys was pulled off stage by an anti-guy when they fainted and i used a star power.

I think the coin bonus comes up with bosses (where you'll see the 50/100 coins), and the Pit. I think the floors just before a checkpoint give 10 coins whereas the others give 5,though I only got through floor 20 for that first Trouble, so unsure if it increases from there.

first attack being free is a wonderful change and hey you still gotta work for the badge to be effective so it helps wiht backtracking and touble center quests so much. also i love the additional coin incomes, its super helpful and glitz pit actually gives you proper coin income rather then one coin per fight which didnt make sense.

Best change in my opinion is the drop of all enemies, now is very easy farm badges,i got 3 badges in one hour,in original ttyd the chance is like 1/1450,now with item hog equipped the chance is like 1/360,all this because now all enemies can drop,i have 2 item hog: one obteined after a few hour in hooktail castle dropped by dull bones,in original game find a badge is harder then obtain a shiny with masuda method 😂now i go in pit of 100 trial for easy badges😊

What badges do you recommend for the pit of 100 trials?

One thing I noticed in the pit is that the walls don’t really change. In the original the walls would turn blue or almost greenish in the later floors but in this one it’s mostly still the standard grayish black. As for the pit yeah you can retry it. I didn’t do it because I didn’t die my first run through but I feel like it takes out the entire point of the challenge.

10:35 This one was contemplated on /r/papermario the other day! It might be the fact that, in the "other" instance where the onscreen keyboard is used, _"something" happens_ to the keyboard that messes with it... which _may not be possible_ with the Switch keyboard, to properly do that particular thing that Freak-Inna-Sheet does. Whereas naming the Yoshi Kid, it's just a normal keyboard input. The third -(and final?)- keyboard input is _naming your save file_ in the GCN original, which is no longer a thing in the remake... (nvm, forgot about the code inputs)

6:30 glad I'm not the only one that was thrown off by the position you had to jump from in the remake. Makes me miss the little shadow underneath your character, even if it would clash with the new much more dynamic lighting/reflections.

For me when I defeated rawk hawk I use the earthquake item since he was on the ceiling and he was at 5hp and it instantly defeated him

Do NPCs in the original mention emblem badges? I noticed in Chapter 4, one of the Twi NPCs actually acknowledged the badge's effect.

If Koops is on his back and you use the Earthquake Star Move an anti guy will take him away

some of the weird changes in this remake I've found is in regard to Super Hammer and Spin-Jump in field for one, Super Hammer's "Slow Swing" can no longer break the big blocks like in the original second, apparently for whatever reason, a slow swing super hammer 1st strike only counts as a normal hammer attack and not a super hammer like the original counted it as. in the remake you have to fully charge super hammer to get that skill as 1st strike in battle, which's a pretty big nerf. it doesn't help the hitbox on super hammer's wonky cuz you'll just miss most floating enemies like Wizzerds, which in the orginal you didn't have a problem with that. third, Spin-Jump's hitbox is actually pretty nerfed cuz you legit just get dragged into battle before Spin-Jump will ever connect, this's especially apparent on ruff-puff types, swooper types, wizzerd types, or lakitu type enemies. whereas in the original you'd spin jump them no problem, but thats near impossible in the remake. these changes are deff pretty weird, yet I find them interesting, it really changes the way you play in the ttyd remake by like a lot, since you can' reliably use Super Hammer/Spin-Jump in field to attack that much

Rewards for doing requests/missions have been increased by 10 coins on average.

His name is doopliss

I am kind of glad about the retrials in the Pit. I died in level 98 due to missing a button press right before completing a Clock Out, which saw me get frozen for 3 turns against 5 swampires. Having to start over would have felt TERRIBLE.

The Anti-Guys are a reference to Japanese theater plays where "Kuroko" helpers dressed in all black assist with special effects on stage without interfering with the actual play going on

Gonna have to correct you on one thing cheif, asode from the sfx badges there only two cosmetic badges for mario in the game the W and L emblems and they still van be worn for 0 bo

They only drag your partner out if they are knocked out

On the pit restart. In the game, you can restart from any room you die in. I think the pit is just not an exception. Not sure if its an over sight, too much work to change or an intentional choice

2:19 no, it's just because that what they were always called in japanese. That name was made up in the english version of 64

I always thought he looked like a Desmond!

2:43 they take ur patnee if the parnter is dead

The anti guys have pulled my partner off the stage. It was a surprise to see. I thought i wasn't getting them back. I did on my next turn

I don't see how paying to heal is even a problem since there's never a scenario where not having coins would be a problem for it to be an issue. It also makes sense. Lol

6:32 the background footage hurts more you watch it as falling behind the shrine block appearntly means you need to go further back, not aim more forward

What are you talking about with retrying pit levels, that isnt a thing

It's all so amazing. I love it but would it kill Nintendo to put difficulty options in their games.. The DPS you can achieve in this game is insane.... been one turn killing bosses.

Coins updated to today's inflation rate 😵

it feels like super bouncing is way harder to consistently get excellent on

2:41 i can confirm those whan poopio is on his back and you use the 2 star power than they pull than away (also know a someone got it on recording whan you allow can i tell you who whan and witch part ) Edit 12:28 and in german they messed up and dont in the new dialogue thair sometimes English still in it like in the new mail he says „just“ in rhe german version another in chapter 3 and in dont hate is but they always say lets fight (also one of the 1 dialogue the captain said Landung 🛬 (landing like airplanes ) boats like this dont do that (also many thinks like the bar and the shild are translated in other languages i notice much in chapter 3 whare „Hallo“ (hello in german )reads over the main entrance and i think thte bar is also German dont shure (Also hot dogs 🌭 its like pizza here we use rhe same in English and Italy 🇮🇹 sometimes but maby this change in other countries too )

Anti guys! LETS GOO MY BOIS HAVE RETURNED!!!

I haven't played the original, but I feel like the stage hazards are a little too nice to me. The game's not very hard, so I don't need a potentially tough enemy to just get frozen and to have the victory handed to me on a platter.

11:10ish I sense a disturbance in a force😅, don't tell me they changed... His(hope you're just avoiding spoilers 😅 tho I played this original game right when I turned 5 😂) name

The Anti-guys are basically "Kuroko" in japanese theater. Stage-hands dressed in black to hide in the scene. It's basically "don't mind us, we're just fixing stuff".

No more unique victory theme for KO'd partner, even with nostalgic tunes. Mario no longer calls Francesca "sob sister". Mario doesn't say "oh" when opening his eyes in the intro. You can't speed up the star point animation at the end of the battle. Spin jump first strikes are a lot less forgiving. Stage hazards pierce defense. I think Hammer Bros first strikes actually damage you outside of battle now. I KO'd one with the first attack badge, only to be hit by his hammer for 6 damage even after he died. Uploaded example. You must fully charge up your hammer to do a spin smash first strike. Might've been like this in the original but Desmond's koopa friend doesn't flip with earthquake. I'm gonna add more to this.

The Yoshi name might be to avoid naming your Yoshi a name containing profanity, as you can absolutely call doopliss ‘asshat’ but I don’t think you could call Yoshi that. Also the mushroom change is probably to avoid drug comparisons

...im sorry did i just hear u call doopliss. freaking desmond

Inflation also hit Paper Mario 😭, that's why this remake is so good, it makes fun of reality.

I don't think that's meant to be an Anti Guy, especially considering Anti Guys are literally just Black Shy Guys that were localised weird.

hi

I like your style, but you should consider scripting your videos. I can see you have a lot of interesting thoughts and it would be nice to hear them in a coherent, planned out manner rather than stream of consciousness thought. That's great for casual conversation, but not really easy to watch in YT video format.

Gonna go full nerd emoji for a sec to say that Anti Guys and Black Shy Guys aren't the same thing. Anti Guys have purplish masks.

Also Shadow Sirens are now just the Three Shadows Idk why they made this change Kinda preferred the original name, but LOVE the additions to Vivian’s story

0:30 nah they butchered the music, RIP the smorgs boss theme remake

I wish paper mario added alot of features thats in bug fables. Honestly up untill chapter 6 it felt like a press a simulator compared to bug fables

I think the reason the Switch Keyboard doesn't pop up for Doopliss, is because it wouldn't work as you could just type in Doopliss' name without having the find the missing letter "p". Meaning you completely bypass getting Vivian, who is crucial for parts of Chapter 5, Chapter 6 & Chapter 8. Without Vivian, you would be stranded on Keelhaul Key. You cannot get the boat power without her. Hence why the Switch keyboard appears to name Yoshi, as it would when you are naming a Mii, but, not when telling Doopliss his name while he is Impostor Mario, as it's supposed to clue you in that he somehow hid away a physical lowercase p in Creepy Steeple. You could type it as "DooPliss", but, that's wrongamundo, Slick! Why did I type all of this to explain why a digital Keyboard works?

One thing I noticed, and this is super minor, but they changed the direction Ms. Mowz walks after using her Love Slap move. In the original, she would face left as she walked back to her spot, and if you did the stylish input, she'd hop while maintaining her forward motion. Now, after performing the move, she doesn't turn but rather walks backward to her spot, and the stylish input makes her hop towards the enemy. It's a really bizarre change, even though it's not the end of the world that it WAS changed.
