Ngl a little disappointed Grodus doesn't have different dialogue when Vivian is the main partner cuz he just casually says the Three Shadow were useless while one of them is directly staring at him.
Beldam was the one that primarily talked to Grodus, Vivian and Marilyn were kind of just there so one can argue, he never paid that much attention to them. To be fair, Vivian was the only one that directly addressed him as just Grodus as opposed to the other partners that were like, "so you are the leader of the X-Nauts" one way or another. And I'm pretty sure that was a change from the original Grodus w/ Vivian dialogue.
Is it weird that I kind of wish that all partners actually showed up together during the cutscenes of the grodus battle and the shadow queen's awakening? Like they could still just have the current partner do most of the talking like they did at the crystal star altar.
@@brettlarch8050 I'm not trying to be ungrateful as they do all appear during the crystal star altar. I just feel like since this is the final chapter that all of them should be present during the final battle especially when everyone is cheering for them. They could just have the current partner be the one talking and everyone else can just react to the situation.
Mario and Co. were done here if it hadn’t been for Bowser inadvertently saving their hides by smashing Grodus, even if he did try to take them out himself in typical Bowser fashion. Bowser may be a villain, but Grodus is straight up maniacal!
Grodus: Now, i thought the Three Shadows would do a little more to slow your progress, but it appears they are so useless that even this small task was beyond them👿 Vivian: Uhh!! I'm standing right here!! Two shadows is what you meant, and you didn't pay attention to Doopliss 😮😐 Grodus: ........... Oh great!! Just great, I'm too eager. ☹️
@@ranpan6082 I mean I suppose maybe I just over prepared cause I had moves like multi bounce and wasted him Bowser and kammy also help his cause with the whole no checkpoints and all
@@CROWNEDDOOMER682 I thought I was over prepared until I reached the Shadow Queen. Grodus becomes pretty easy as long as you get rid of the Grodus X's and make sure not to get frozen by his ice and time stopping magic. Vivian helps in getting rid of them.
13:53 WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEACH? YOU'RE SCREAMING "MARRRRIOOOOOOO WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭" WHEN AN OLD MAN IS DYING OUT HERE, AND THE ONLY THING YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT IS YOUR LOVE INTEREST?!?!?!?(yes i know the devs were too lazy to actually make major differences to what the character that isn't from the partners chapters actually acknowledge them)
@@jessahartley4714 atleast show some concern for somebody that isn't Mario like what??? They were with Mario whent hey got there, so obviously she should know that they're helping him.
What did he even need the crystal stars for at that point after finding a "secret" entrance past the door? Yeah, this game had a lot of contrivances ngl
After Mario got the 6th star, he got the idea of the secret entrance. Or maybe the shadow sirens found the "secret" entrance after they realize what were doopliss abilities.
im pretty sure that was a lie, after all its revealed doopliss transformed into the professor, and that doopliss professor was the one who said grodus phased through the door. which didnt happen, grodus just needed mario to open the door himself.
@@MrMariosonicman ah. That does make sense. Except for the fact that he gets to the final room before you I thought he himself said he found an alternate route, but it's been awhile
@@reserven5795 after you unlock the floor, dont you get blocked by the shadow sirens? I imagine while they are fighting you, grodus himself is using some kind of hover device to easily cheese the room and enter the end room while you have to solve all the puzzles to reach it.
They never got in doopliss disguised as frankly and lied to Mario saying that grodis got into the shadow palace when in reality then never got in and instead tricked Mario into opening the door Its really not that hard to put two and two together like this y’all should try and think next time
