Paper Mario: Colour Splash Retrospective and Review - ScionVyse 

I agree, very impressive with this series breakdown may have to consider marketing the content with shorts and repurpose on other social media platforms to get eyeballs than just rely on the RU-vid Algo

That’s impossible. I saw someone comment on Reddit “Am I the only one who don’t like the paper Mario games after 1000 years door”. I assumed he was the MC in life who has original thoughts and ideas who deserves to be followed because he’s not like a NPC like me, you and the uploader. This guy is great don’t get me wrong, but he can’t not like this game. The Redditor sad he’s the only one so this RU-vidr has to be lying. Redditors don’t lie so you can’t I’m not telling the truth. *Mikegrowfone DRAWP* 🎤 🍂--> he leaf by the mike means it’s falling like leafs do eventually from trees in the fall and the mike is clearly the one that was dropped. You don’t need me to spell this out to you do you?

The creators from STICKER STAR and COLOR SPLASH: señores tal vez no tenga cerebro pero tengo una idea

Actually he didn’t “sacrifice” himself more so went to space to dump out all the black paint so it wouldn’t harm anyone or anything. That black paint must’ve somehow traveled into the main line series showed in Bowser Fury because Bowser Jr. explains that he found a black paint on his and his father vacation and he decided to pull a prank on Bowser with it. This corrupted Bowser and made him stronger just like his paper variant in Color Splash.

@@krystalsitton5857 It's certainly framed like that's what's happening though. When he's the last 1 to get on their escape car he refuses and it starts playing a sad song for him. He tells them he'll meet them back at the fountain, but after they're gone he admits he was lying. In order to fulfill his purpose and get rid of the Black Paint, he was expecting this to be a 1-way trip for himself. He took heavy damage during the final battle, used what power he had left to wring out a massive castle and flew off into space. It being a "sacrifice" in the sense that, he may not be able to find a place to simply "dump" that stuff and happily float back. He would have to contain it in some random corner of space for as long as he can, just to keep everyone else safe. To most players that's the last they'll see of him.

@@King_Luigi Admittedly I guess that’s what the developers were going for and it’s kinda dumb that they contradict themselves if you 100 percent the game. I’ll give them credit to make Huey and actual character worth feeling something if he “sacrificed” himself compared to Kersti in Sticker Star.

@@krystalsitton5857 It helps that Huey has more than "stuck up bitch" as an emotion, unlike Kersti. Huey could both make jokes _and_ be helpful, while Kersti just shits on you and everyone else the entire game. (Who doesn't love being told to "try harder next time" when you've beaten a boss without the "Thing" they want you to beat it with?) She never did anything to earn a "sad sendoff" nor did she (or the game itself) earn a revival either.

Working on it! It may not happen "soon," (I'm still scripting) but it is on the way eventually. Unfortunately, I work a regular 9-5+ extra, so I can only make videos in what little spare time I have. But I'm working as hard as I can!

That seems like a good idea, ngl

You really played the Wii U with your arms stretched out in front of you like a mummy 🤣🤣🤣

@@trustytrest yes, it's the only other option to hold a gamepad... have you ever in your life played a game?

You sure you played the rest of the franchise lmaooo

@@cyanryann64 I’ve played the N64 one, TTYD, and Super. The first one was fine, TTYD was good but has a lot of problems, Super is very weird. You may not agree with me, but those are my opinions.

very strange considering this game is bad

@@teeby2037 I wholeheartedly disagree, but if that’s your opinion then you’re entitled to it.

@@worldsbossHi! I really love TTYD and many other people do too, it’s one of the best Mario RPGs in my opinion. May I ask what do you mean that TTYD has lots of problems? I’m curious to know! 😊

No way man Iove this game and hope Nintendo gives this game another chance on switch I don't care what people say Iove this game period.

Do you have any reasons for it being your favourite like have you played all the others or do you like the levels or bosses im just curious

My gf just said this today, and I told her at least they tried something different. She followed with “they shouldn’t have”😂😂😂

@@Cfreezy12 they really shouldn't have

Yeah nah I rather play chain of memories even though that shit gave me headaches

Chain of Memories is great wtf.

I think i am the only one that found sticker stat better then color splash(the 2 sucks ass) because sticker star had a artstyle more similar than ttyd(no white borders) and had the excuse of being a portable console game so being less developed.

Damn, really? You had that many issues with the pointer?

@@Mike14264 Yes, I have. I've got a bunch of Wiimotes, both basic and MotionPlus, and not _one_ of them were anywhere near close to accurate. The cursor kept blinking in and out, or kept tilting to one side, or zooming across the screen - which made it incredibly frustrating trying to do *anything* with it. Skyward Sword's Goddess Harp? Almost impossible to properly use. The Beetle? Kept leaning to one side, and trying to fly straight was straight-up a no-go. I can't even imagine trying to play Pikmin or Pikmin 2 with this shit; they're better off on GameCube (or now, Switch). Twilight Princess Wii at least allows you to turn the stupid pointer *off* and just use analog controls for the Bow and Slingshot (and analog's far more accurate too, in my experience). As I've never *once* had a good time with the Wiimote gimmick, and Nintendo completely shafted the Classic Controller, that means I've only had a good time with the Wii as a console when I was playing GameCube or Virtual Console games, or TP Wii or Super Smash Bros. Brawl (which doesn't use motion at all). Otherwise, it's a shit console, and the Wii U was a massive improvement by being a return to form.

@@PokeMaster22222 damn. I never had any issues with any of the games I had. Both Mario Galaxys, Epic Mickey, Wii Sports and Resort... almost no issues at all, really! Plus, while I didn't play them, I hear many people say that the Wiimote control is their preferred way of playing Pikmin 1 and 2, being able to control with precision where they're aiming. Maybe the problem is with the sensor you put on top of the TV instead of the wiimotes themselves? On the other hand, the Wii U might as well have been called the Neck Snap. The most common complaint I hear about the games that used that piece a plastic tablet is that the gameplay is too much "stop and go". I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "the Wii U's tablet was a great way to implement this idea to its fullest".

@@Mike14264 About the Wii's sensor bar - I also experimented with putting it above the TV and below it, and with moving myself closer to or further away from the TV. Nothing worked; the pointer still kept glitching out. As for the Wii U GamePad, I never really had "neck snap" issues. I first played Deus Ex: Human Revolution on the Wii U, and that used the GamePad for hacking sequences and inventory management, not to mention a map; never got a sore neck, from what I recall. Same with Twilight Princess HD and The Wind Waker HD. If it did cause people neck pain, then most games also supported the Wii U Pro Controller; heck, because I didn't need constant inventory management or map access for TP HD, I actually preferred playing that game with the Pro Controller. TWW HD, on the other hand, was much better with constant map access, considering you're sailing everywhere, and the treasure maps you find. I dunno, I just had way more frustration and anger and discomfort using the Wii, rather than the Wii U. I can only speak of my experiences, at the end of the day.

@@PokeMaster22222 I assume the sensor bar itself was what was broken, for the pointers to glitch out that badly. Also, yeah, for most folks, the controller for the Wii U was probably a saving grace. The main gripe I see with the Wii U is that the tablet... feels useless. It's very situational in the things it does, and what it does feels too segregated from the game most of the time. At least the controller kept the whole thing on a single screen... though sometimes to a detriment anyways, like with Pikmin 3's Koppai Pad thingy, where you either had to look at the Wii U for little reason, or stare into a reduced screen within the TV screen. But yeah, at the end of the day, it's all down to personal experiences. Same thing with some folks' grievances with the Switch's Joy-Cons.

Well, let's see... Super Paper Mario was the best selling game in the whole series, followed by The Origami King and Sticker Star. I think Sticker Star sold better than Color Splash because of the initial expectations the fans had. It was a beloved series that was coming back, and in a more typical form, an RPG. Folks adored Super Paper Mario and its excellent story, so a follow up that returned to its RPG roots seemed like a great sell! ...but only after everyone bought it, did they actually realize what they signed up for. Ever since then, people have been extremely cautious of Paper Mario releases, cus they knew these design choices weren't it. And when they saw Color Splash kept much of what was wrong with Sticker Star, as well as the inclusion of other typical grievances with the Mario series in general, like the inclusion of the Koopalings as the bosses... well, of course folks weren't gonna sign up for that. Hence Color Splash being the worst selling game in the series. The Origami King, while it still has a weird and divisive battle system... it has a cool story and adventure, as well as actual characters that aren't Toads. It's a very divisive game that, on one hand, made some folks appreciate what the game was for what it was - if this was what Paper Mario was gonna be, it's probably the best this format had to offer, with different characters, partners of sorts, a battle system that wasn't a complete bore, and an actually deep plot with multiple arcs and stakes; but on the other hand, the puritan fans of Paper Mario absolutely loathed that this seemed to be the culmination of the series' style and gameplay, and the meta story within the game only seemed to fuel their anger regarding their criticism - Nintendo was hearing them, but it felt like they weren't allowing anything to be done about it. Still, it did fix many of the things wrong with Color Splash, and the majority of folks liked it, including many of the older Paper Mario fans, the Color Splash fans, and whatever two or three people that like Sticker Star, so it sold much better.

Also, the Toads with different outfits, you mean Color Splash, right? I mean, there were the Rescue Squads, the Roshambo Toad guy, the fancy Toads from the mansion (do the ghosts also count?), the uh, the train conductor I think, and the Toads with accessories, like hats, scarfs and glasses. Ah, and those that looked like keys. ...and yeah, that's pretty much it. Still no actual names tho.
