[Super Mario Files] Paper Mario: TTYD - (Mostly) Unused Gulp Behaviors 

6:40 OF COURSE HE'S GYRATING YOU JUST RIPPED HIS TENTACLE STRAIGHT OFF HIS FLESH

Confused Yoshi swallows Mario

The pokey segment thing was likely to reference how Yoshi eats one segment at a time in Super Mario World

A thought I didn't have last time I saw this video... I think it's likely that swallowing was originally a _standard_ behaviour of the move. And that later they went back and reverted it, but forgot to do so for the Pokey single-head case (which was a special case they missed). It would explain the unused variations for a bomb exploding, etc.

you know in vanilla ttyd yoshi can gulp the shadow queen while invincible, it does no dmg but looks amusing

Lore accurate Yoshi

Yoshi could eat the world if he wanted to.

'Killing one of blooper's tentacles works without crashing but blooper constantly gyrates [in pain] until attacked again' I mean what do you expect you literally ripped its frickin tentacle off How would you like your arm ripped off and eaten eh?

This dino twerp is eating me out of house and home!

This is one of my favourite things about Paper Mario, the sheer amount of unique interactions with different kinds of skills and enemies is honestly one of the things that seperates this from other RPGs

Thanks for posting this! It's a truly amazing discovery. I'm particularly fascinated by unused behaviors like this that manage to slip into the final game, but only under circumstances so obscure that they go unnoticed for years. I have to wonder how many people have seen Yoshi eat Pokeys whole with Gulp and shrugged it off as nothing special because it just looks right, lol. Those completely unused behaviors are really interesting too; especially that unfinished fireball. I have to wonder if there is more stuff like this hidden in the battle code.

Man. I can't help but feel like the devs really just wanted to keep all of Yoshi's moves strong and it just not meant to be that we get a 0 star points gained option outside of Fright Masks

Yoshi swallowing Hooktail is so funny!

I AM LIL' YOSHI, DEVOURER OF THE UNIVERSE!

look ma I discovered the pokey thing! This is really cool stuff, I wonder why it all went (mostly) unused

I feel like you have plans to implement this into something

Huh thats really intresting

I'm like 3 years late, but what happens if a confused Yoshi eats Mario?

What kind of monster would eat Vivian.

What happens if confused Yoshi used Gulp on Mario?

First we had Mummipokey, now we have Yummipokey

Could I use a clip of Yoshi swallowing a Pokey in a video I'm working on?

Hope they bring it back in the remake

I wonder if some of these will be added back in the remake?
