Fire drive deserves the must have tier, best hammer badge by far

Ah yes, ZXMany just finished a game and now we will get him playing that game but modded for the next 3 months. If you’re a long time fan, you’ll know its tradition for ZXMany to play a game mod free to 100 percent and then do months of modded videos of that game. Nevertheless, I’m excited to see what you’ve got in store ZXMany! Keep up the great work!

Jump man is so much better then hammer man 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Power Bounce has been nerfed, by the way. The frames for the fourth bounce is way stricter to do, so I argue it's not as game-breaking as it was once. (Still fun to use, though) Also, I don't really do Danger build, so Piercing Blow was a badge that has helped me a couple of times in fights. I understand it might not be "The best" badge overall, but I still like it.

Hooray for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door! (Ranking Badges)🎉

The w emblem should be in must have

This will definitely help me decide what badges to use. Thanks!

I think flower saver P is slept on, if Mario isn't gamebreakingly strong at whichever point youre at in the game, shaving an FP or 2 off Rally Wink to give Mario an extra attack (especially power bounce) can really give you an edge

I’m trying my best not to be disrespectful, but this is legitimately one of the worst tier list I’ve ever seen, not only in paper mario franchise, but in my whole gaming careers. This game had been out there for 20 years, and there were countless consents / opinions, to a point that It’s almost we all agreed that atk powers are the utmost important for this game and basically makes this game 800% easier with high enough atk power. Seeing Power Up Badge, All or Nothing and Jumpman in that low really drives me nuts. THESE THREE BADGES LOWER THAN A SHRINK STOMP THAT LITERALLY NO ONE USES?? THATS’S FUCKED UP. Power Rush is OLNY GOOD when you intentionally build around it, and it’s not even consistent! You need to one shot everything or else you’re dead, you can’t even heal unless you lower Mario’s HP down to 5 which can only be done after chapter 5. Danger Build is broken in someway (mostly lategame and speedrunning) but I never ever see someone rated Power Rush higher than Power Plus. Next, we all agreed that Mario is, by all means, a better character, aka, a better damage dealer, than all of his partners, right? THEN HOW THE FUCK IS POWER PLUS P RANKS HIGHER THAN POWER PLUS??? This list makes totally 0 sense and It’s driving me soooo mad. Together with spike-shield and iceman you can literally jump on everything (you actually put these two badges up high) then WHY THE FUCK JUMPMAN IS THAT LOW?????? why do you need a double item badge when a single jelly-shroom can almost guarantee to fully heal you😭😭😭 why hp drain when you can one-shot basically everything apart from end-game bosses/ hidden bosses😭😭 It only drains 1hp per atk and you lower your atk which is the most precious thing I’m more than mad at this point, the more I look at this tier list the less sense it makes to me😭😭 As someone who beat this game over 10 times over the year I’m more than mad seeing this tier list. Seeing some of the most highly rated game changing badges being rated that low is basically a crime.

They nerfed power bounce so that it is almost impossible to get past three bounces.

Wow I'm so early also can you play super mario sunshine or continue playing super mario galaxy

For those who uses danger Mario, multi bounce, ice power, spike shield, power bounce, power rush (most effective by the dozens), flower saver, simplifier, feeling lucky, money money (I equipped FOUR of them). Once you obtain the strange sack, be sure to have 20 life mushrooms as insurance. Max damage output is 99. Turns the pit of 100 trials into a cake walk, and you'll make short work of any boss you battle.

haven't see you in a while! btw nice video! :D

You ban Power Bounce because you think it makes the game too easy. I ban Power Bounce because I hate its elitist spirit.

Have you used the fire drive badge? It has different functionality to the others and the multi-attack is super nice and does decent damage, it’s more situational than Multi Bounce but I think it’s for sure useful!!

Also Quick Change is by and large THE BEST badge in the ENTIRE game, no questions asked. Quick change is one of the sole reasons mega rush P is as busted as it is. I've tried doing early game pit runs in ttyd 64 using mega rush p but it is much worse there since I dont have access to quick change. Its 7 bp but i'd say it's worth more. It is so amazing and I definitely think its way better than "Worth using"

Pov: only power rush badges and badge points kill everything

All of these badge rankings are always in the context of the low health Mario builds

I would put peekaboo in the "worth using" category. While, yes, if you want to 100% the game you need to tattle every single enemy, tattling also takes up a turn. If you are using Danger Mario, you want as many opportunities to do as much damage as possible because just getting hit once by a boss will kill Mario. You can always tattle every enemy in the postgame.

Have you uploaded daily since 2021?

I recently cleared the pit of 100 trials for the 12th time. Maxed out the BP at 99, FP still at 80. The tube game really helps. I'm no fan of the slots, it just takes your tokens. No different from the one-armed bandits. After defeating bonetail and obtaining the return postage badge, you have the option of starting at level 50 for 300 coins. If you have multiple money money badges equipped, you'll quickly cancel our the 300 coins you spent for that shortcut.

piercing blow can actually come in clutch, i’d personally put it 1-2 tiers above

Power Plus P does not work that way with Yoshi. It only gives the boost to the first hit of his attack. For Ground Pound and Stampede, the first hit will deal 2 damage and every subsequent hit will still do 1, giving him a damage output of 7 when he’s fully upgraded. Goombella sees the most benefit, as each of her jumps on headbonk get a boost, effectively increasing her damage output by 2

Yet another wise Zxmany video 😁 Yes, i like my own comments 😉

I’ve heard that d up p down works against attacks that pierce defense, so if that’s true then it could be very useful in some situations.

I'm really surprised at Chill Out being ranked so low, especially with all the emphasis on Danger Mario strategies. One first strike could spell complete disaster with such low HP, and Chill Out costs almost nothing to equip, making it an amazing safety net. I'd have definitely put it in the Must Have tier, or Worth Using at the very least.

Fire drive is pretty much a pierce hammer that hits all grounded enemies so I'd argue it's must have Fp is pretty irrelevant once you get sweet feast and the other fp related badges

jump into the water or jump on overworld spike should drop you to one hp.... unless you forget to math and jump into the water and spike again with 1 hp. Also Droping you FP down to 0 or 1 and then using the item to swap it with mario hp is another way. Combine with the evasion badge and boom easy +5 badge spam. assuming you can mass a lot of this and those badges.

Jumpman is one of best badge in game!and..... stacks i have 6 badges now...is better then a danger strategy because you have the hp and damage in the same time

Woo

One thing I will point out with Hammer Throw is you encounter flying spike enemies before you get Spike Shield so it’s useful for that. Also it’s much cheaper BP wise than spike shield.

Piecing blow I’d put higher up. That’s what I used to beat Bonetail

Piercing blow is pretty good

Genuine question I dont understand the logic of putting Ice power and Spike shield in the second highest tier while putting Jumpman All or nothing and P up d Down P in the same tier as hammer throw. Hell even putting piercing blow below hammer throw is really weird. Hammer throw is a hammer attack that deals 2 piercing damage, which is awful compared to piercing blow which does full hammer damage and pierces defense. And Jumpman when paired with Ice power and Spike sheild lets you deal more damage to EVERY enemy in the game, even better when stacking stuff like all or nothing or p up d down/power rushes, and since jump scales way better with extra damage than hammer (Ex: Jumpman makes you deal 2 two damage hits with jump while hammer man makes you deal 3 damage). And with power bounce still being absolutely insane, pairing attack with it makes most attack badges even better (I agree with power plus being down there because its still good but rather expensive).

6:56 you maby mention thats the red Confusion that one that hits teamates also i try use 2 on the same time and 😈😈😈😈 7:18 fine whit sleep but is the one many use in runs and its feal its the best the other one can get but be ware for the red confused 9:31 got it after i toke the ??? Quest and before i go on boart kosarios ship 😎😎😎😎😎 ty it on the secret boss that i unlock after (👑) but dosent work so i would it in ths game in the same category + how you unlock it you think you can use it after so well is not the bage foult but it could be op maby but dont know 10:22 Hint it cost 0point to talk whit the new npc and than you have it always (could we put the toad in this list too ?) 10:42 it got nerft in the remake so only the 1 jump is more by yoshi but still i use it Often for the partner its perfect mix to just beat an enemy in man cases

Can you play mario Party superstars but in every minigame where you can fall down you can also jump in the air?

Yay

I have no clue what game this guy is playing but it definitely is not Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

"You can't really put yourself at one HP" He doesn't know about the Trial Stew... (and for getting FP back after using it, just use double items with your partner, trial stew, then a FP healing item)

Jump-hammer-badge

Hey ZXmany use paper Mario the thousand year door 2004 the power rushs in the plants parlor is cheap

Honestly, I could never get more than 5 damage with the Power Bounce. I don’t want to make people mad, but it’s just not that special. I prefer stuff like Spike shield with a Spin Jump.

if luigi badge isn't in the top tier i will eat a family of seven and a half edit: :(

Hello

suddenly, thinks some things fun. Please make a playthrough using the badge ranked from better options exists and below🤭

Sleepy Stomp is nothing special but Shrink Stomp is worth using? HUH????

fire drive amazing 🔨🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yoshi's island snes, ❤ u zxmany.

What I say might be a controversial statement but I think "Danger" Mario should have been nerfed. Like maybe make the badges related to it NOT stackable for example

Enyone knows wäre to find quick Change

Day 390 of asking ZXMany to play Paper Mario: Color Splash

One of first

:)

Im sorry but quick change not being must have or higher WHAT, that badge alone basically eliminates the issue with partners as a whole EVEN GIVING PARTNERS INFINITE BUFFS

As a person who has played 1000 Year Door, the Power Badge is VERY high risk, high reward. If you're insane and can time super guards correctly then you're fine, but that badge is no more than "Nothing Special." Also, the battle against Prince Mush makes the badge virtually useless.

45 seconds in and this dude puts fire drive in nothing special when it's AOE damage is insane. Bruh

You couldve just named this video "I dont care for other strats that arent Power Rush + Power Bounce" and gotten the same point across. Theres merit to Power Plus strats, defense strats and even Pretty Lucky/Lucky Day strats if you arent going to specialize in Superguarding everything and using Chet Rippo to give you 5HP for the whole game (once you have Bobbery). I feel like you couldve framed this video different instead of just (power) rushing to your beliefs that align with the overall TTYD/speedrunning community, because you effectively say "two badges are busted, the rest arent necessary," and that negates 20min of the remaining watch time. I came here expecting more than that, but who am I. Good job on the rankings.

first

First person

I'm sorry but this list is so bad, I don't even know where to start. Power Rush should not be in top tier and Mega Rush should instead, while Power Rush is very good tier lists should only rank badges on their own and not take duplicates into account since you can theoretically get an infininte amount of almost any badge. Spike Shield and Ice Power should not be that high, they're situational mid-tier badges that should only be equipped when actually necessary which isn't actually as often as many people think. Fire Drive should be way higher, it is easily the best hammer badge and is really good for early game pit runs like pre-Hooktail pit, in fact it is the sole reason prologue pit is even possible in the original game. Hammer Throw being above Fire Drive, Piercing Blow, Power Jump, and LAST STAND P (which should be WAY higher, it is almost as good as regular Last Stand) is insane, Hammer Throw is one of the most useless badges in the entire game while these other badges are all at least decent. Item Hog is also good for pit runs in general, you can get some very good item drops from enemies that can be very useful for the later enemies and enemy setups in the pit, although I admittedly don't use Item Hog myself because I don't like relying on RNG. Sleepy Stomp is yet another badge like Fire Drive, that is really good for early game pit runs like pre-Hooktail pit, many enemies in the pit are highly susceptible to sleep includimg some of the hardest enemies like Arantulas, Poison Puffs, and Swampires, and it's even better in the remake since enemies no longer get woken up from sleep by attacking them normally. P-Up D-Down is also way better than P-Down D-Up, and P-Up D-Down P should be top tier since a partner losing 1 defence hardly makes a difference so it is really just a Power Plus P for only a third of the BP cost, putting it in the "better options exist" tier when it is one of the best badges in the entire game is insane to put it as nicely as I can. Same with All or Nothing, it should be top tier since it is basically a cheaper Power Plus and attack increasing badges are the best in a game that is designed for and encourages offensive play over defensive play, and Jumpman should absolutely not be in the same tier as Hammerman when Jump is objectively far better than hammer and has a much higher potential damage output. The Feeling Fine badges are also very situational and should not be that high. Also Double Pain is more useful than many of the badges you put in the tier above it like HP Drain P and Tornado Jump, Double Pain actually has uses outside of just making the game harder, taking double damage can make it easier and quicker to get into danger and peril faster. I don't know what your thought process was when you decided to put Simplifier, Timing Tutor, HP Drain, Bump Attack that high, they should all be bottom tier without a doubt, they're completely useless yet putting Unsimplifier so low, even though Unsimplifier can actually be useful unlike Simplifier which is completely useless unless you suck at action commands. It makes me wonder if you got Simplifier and Unsimplifier mixed up, because their placements should be switched around.

Sure, Power Plus costs 6 BP, but that’s not really a problem when your maximum BP can be NINETY-NINE. My setup has 5 Power Pluses, 3 for Mario and 2 for the partners, as well as 2 Lucky Days and Quick Change, and I STILL had room for a lot of other useful badges. So imo, Power Plus breaks the game.

I'm not too sure about Double Pain. There was one guy I saw who used a bunch of HP Plus badges, Mega Rush and Double Pain to utterly destroy Magnus 2.0 in the original version of the game. So if that kind of thing is still doable, it might at least be helpful with activating Power/Mega Rush.

I really would love for the ttyd community to kinda get over the obsession with danger Mario. It’s really cool, I’ve done it, I’ll do it again, but so many badges that are incredible got ranked low cause he kept saying you can just do the power rush, it’s so broken. BUT I DONT WANNA DO POWER RUSH. I think the badge discussion deserves better. But like great video. 😂

How to obliterate every boss in 2 steps: Step 1: wear 20-50 power rush badges Step 2: thats it

i remember your old video that you Ranking The Super Mario Party Superstars Minigames safe for grandma

So piercing Blow, it is a good hammer badge for normal style players such as me. I’m not the type who always goes with the Danger strategies (I don’t trust my luck ever). Piercing defense on enemies such as the spike ones on way to the Fortress for the sun and moon stones. You can kill them equipped with Spike shield as I’ve tried it against the dark versions in Pit of 100 trials.

I have a problem with The Danger Mario set up. No matter how optimal it might be, it's just not worth the time. You don't get access to Chet until after chapter 5. by then, you'll be in much better shape to deal with Enemies and bosses through level ups. Why waste time limiting yourself in both health and special moves when you can just do it the normal way?

I kinda really like your rank like your danger tactic with power plus

Quick change soloed my first play through

Slow go actually had a use in the first Paper Mario for the N64. In Tubba Blubba’s castle, there are sleeping Clubbas all over the place and are woken up if you walk too fast next to them. If you wear slow go, they will stay asleep. This is especially good in the room where there was a chest guarded by a lot of Clubbas

first

item finder with this i dont know why but i dont find just item but i find a lot of badge with this like charge power up and many other to is dont just work with item and yeah is work for find badge to when i use it i got a lot f badge

We need modded pmttyd, it’s just too good, I hope you do it, ZXMany!

I personally would rank item hog higher only because in the original game item hog increased the chance to get badges after a battle ended... So if you looked up which enemies dropped which type of badge, which is 100% in both versions it would help you get a good stockpile of badges...

Hey,power jump is better than power bounce because PJ and PB do the EXACT SAME damage [5 points{pre Chapter 6]but PJ u only have to jump ONCE whereas PB u have to jump 4-5 times AND it's cheaper

10:22 Okay this might have been useful on the Gamecube, but come on Battle Toad exists this is a waste of coins only buy this if you go for 100% and you might as well buy this last if you do

So Danger Mario is Uber Mario? Cool!

P-Up, D-Down is good for Lucky Day builds, if you’re already that low health may as well go for the damage for low BP, and Power Lift will easily compensate the losses.

this tier list is killing me how is jumpman a tier ''better options exist'' 💀

Meh. Yeah, if you're a veteran or going in knowingly breaking the game then Power Bounce and Power Rush are busted. How certain badges stack in effectiveness isn't immediately obvious and the remake still doesn't do a good job explaining it to the average person either. If this is your first paper mario game or you're doing a regular/casual playthrough, Piercing Blow, lucky badges, and any of the attack boosting badges (especially the partner ones) are must haves.

Double Dip P. Have a Partner Use Trial Stew on Mario followed up by something that'll boost FP back up. (And if you got Tripple Dip P active then you can follow that up with a courage shell to give Mario some extra DEF at 1 HP If you feel that its necessary.) Then just have 1 HP Mario use powerbounce and win the battle.

Power rush=power 2 power rushes Mega power 4 P rush Ultimate power 8 p rush Pwoer 16 power rushes god 32 power rushes “I am not In DANGER I AM the DANGER Skyler!”

Can you play pokemon scarlet using only fire/water/grass/other type pokemon?! I would really want you to do that.😊

Unrelated but my headcanon of why TEC is alive post-game is paper undo-dog barked and undid the explosion

You could make a video for the best badges in Paper Mario: TTYD for ONLY PITS OF 100 TRAILS

Simplifier and Unsimplifier affect Action Commands as a whole, not just the Guard/Superguard.

Many I am so sorry for the rant I am about to go on

situational badges in "must have" is crazy

I get pinned

bro is not cooking

Bro Quickchange is EASLY S Tier ESPECIALLY for everyone that is not doing the danger mario Type of build.

ZXMany, This is great! Let's be friends and have fun together!
