What Happens If We Skip Every Partner? 

Not having friends crashes Paper Mario.

Just caught a Stryder stream last night. He spent three hours trying to go accross a sewer room before the game crashes and fell asleep on stream. Great entertainer he is.

When you ignore Goompa, you face his reality-warping wrath.

*It's dangerous to go alone!* No really! Going alone crashes Paper Mario.

It crashes Paper Mario? WHAT A SUPRISE

This is it. After four years of posting videos, we finally found the glitch that makes Stryder7x admit this game is weird lol.

"I wanna try Blue House skip." > Proceeds to do Blue House skip in a mere 3 tries Stryder you legend.

(7:58) Because of that glitch, we were unable to hear Stryder7x's presumably lovely Thanksgiving story.

At this point I’m starting to believe Paper Mario crashes Paper Mario.

wow I’ve never heard stryder’s normal voice without his monotone. It’s kinda interesting.

Remember the evil save video? I reckon a save in the sewers without a partner would be pretty evil.

*Touching The Controller Crashes Paper Mario*

Being friendless crashes Paper Mario

Kinda like healing your Pokemon, without...Pokemon.

I think I figured it out! I was trying to think of things shared in every sewer room (or at least most) and things that happen at random over time. THE WATER DRIPS (i'm serious) the water drips must have to check for both Mario's and the partner's current position to check if the splash animation from the drip will collide with the player, the partner, or the floor. It would make sense due to having a seemingly random timing, being in most (if not all sewer rooms), and having some level of interaction with the partner. The only other thing I could think of would be the blooper battles. (also no water drips appeared in the footage at all)

"What happens if we skip every partner" That's what they tought when creating the newer Paper Marios

Hi Stryder7x! I have a theory for the sewer crashes. Usually in the sewers, there are little droplets of water falling from the ceiling and splashing down. I noticed that in all of your videos of the sewer locations, there were never any droplets falling. Could it be that the drips include partner locations for their RNG calculations, and without a partner it crashes the game?

7:58 Talking about Thanksgiving crashes Paper Mario. What's next?!?

Twitch streaming crashes Paper Mario

7:58 We will never know what his family did for Thanksgiving...

I’d love to see a no partner% speedrun

"Yes, it crashes Paper Mario. But there's more :)" gr8

The game turns into Color Splash.

*attempting to purchase Paper Mario crashes Paper Mario* *opening your save file crashes Paper Mario* *looking at the screen crashes Paper Mario* Motto of the game devs: If you can do it, it’ll crash!

What if Paper Mario crashed Stryder7x?

Being Anti Social crashes Paper Mario

The title of this video could also describe my love life.

Booting up Paper Mario crashes Paper Mario.

The true hard mode: No partner run.

Theory about the lesser mystery: Maybe Mario moonwalks because after getting off the train it tries to update your partner's position before letting you control Mario, but since there is no partner you just get control of Mario before his animations are active again.

Regularly checking the sewage pipes like a regular plumber crashes Paper Mario.

*I lost the run to RNG dude*

"What happens if we skip all of the partners?" You get Sticker Star.

"We made it. Interesting--" *Game Crash* Kappa

Paper Mario: *Has glitches to corrupt the music, reduce framerate to 1 frame per minute and skip whole chapters* Stryder when the walking animation is missing: "This game is weird!"

Hey, I like this format. Seeing people discover something for the first time is awesome.

I’m legit really curious why it crashes so randomly in the sewers. Does anyone know if there are any cutscenes in the sewers that may involve partners?

So basically "MODERN PAPER MARIO" as a glitch. beautiful.

Ah, Sticker star. Didn't know it existed that long ago?

Man I'm so happy glitches are still able to be found, love your content

I'm Guessing It Crashes In The Sewers Because Of The *Upgrade Blocks* Script Loading, Or Just Loaded In General When You Enter The Sewers

1:38 "But luckily the Virtual Console is invincible" is what you should have said instead :P

I really liked this new format! Cool to get to see the formative process of trial and error trying to understand what's going on without having to wade through a lot of repetitive footage and whatnot. One of these days I'll catch a stream. :P

i literally said "for god's sake Stryder" when i got notified of this upload. How can one 1-up this?

"As always, thank you for crashing Paper Mario."

Keep it up, I love watching videos where people take old games and find something new and fresh in it to make it new.

Finally caught a Stryder stream. He spent 3 hours trying to get out of the sewers and fell asleep on stream. What a great entertainer he is.

What happens if you skip every party member? You get Paper Mario: Paper Jam.

No partner run looks so painful

About the Skolar crash. The game after getting Star Storm plays a continuation of the cutscene where Bow decides to join you permanently. Since she's not there, the game freaks out trying to load partner text. For the sewers, have you tried all pipes? Or just sewer related ones? Maybe an issue with it trying to load a partner as Mario exits a pipe. The only exception if this is true is Mario's house pipe, as it's used when both alone and with partners.

What are you and your family doing for Thanksgiving? Now I'm really curious!

No kooper glitches NOOOOOoOOoOOoooooo...

*Best quality: his wiggles*

i don't even play paper mario, but you make these interesting enough to watch

with the one in the sewers where you hit the save block and then you cant get out because of the crashes, that could be used in that one video that you made about the haunted cartridge

he’s just sitting there like... *W I G G L I N*

“what happens if we skip every partner?” Nintendo: “Write that down!”

It’s so cool hearing you talk to the audience. It just makes you seem... more real.

I just watched a vod from a stream where stryder was playing with the camera in a weird zoomed-out/freed state and at the urging of the chat he went for blue house skip in that...rather distracting game state. The result, of course, was that he casually succeeded on his first try. What a legend

Is there any situation that crashes VC but not 64?

Error! Mario is not allowed to go alone.

I think the sewer issue is that in the Prologue and Epilogue, Mario can freely walk throughout all of Toadtown alone. Which means that there is an if function for Mario coming out of a pipe alone, and the script ends normally. But in the sewers, a place you can only come in with partners, there isn't- it loads Mario, then it gives a few seconds to load the partner's animations. However, there's no partner, so you're on a timer before the game crashes. Entering a pipe seems to immediately override any partner animations/Mario animations, so this is why you can get out before it crashes most of the time, assuming you do it quick enough. The sewer itself seems to be one large, interconnected map just like the overworld areas, with the difference that entering it always involves the pipe and the pipe animation.

I legit thought you'd softlocked yourself in the sewers, dude. That was hairy for a second there XP

8:47

in the first Toy Train Moonwalk shenanigan, the train also moonwalked! you went right from Blue Station, which should send you to Pink Station, but it sent you to Red Station instead. I didn't actually see Mario sliding around at first so I thought the train going to the wrong station was what you meant by 'Moonwalk'.

Your voice is very soothing. I listen to RU-vid videos while I sleep and yours have been great background noise. (I watch them while conscious, too)

If there is ever a way to beat Paper Mario without Partners, the category might as well be called "color splash %" lol

An idea I've had for a while: what if you hack to win the battle against Bowser in the prolouge?

Having no friends crashes Paper Mario

Been watching this channel lately and I got to say that I didn't think paper mario glitches could be this interesting.

dude i love this channel so much,paper mario 64 is the best game of all time,its so amazing this channel is dedicated to this game,even if its exploiting multiple different ways to break the game,it would be nice to see some mario rpg or thousand year door episodes too

The cool part was being there at the Stream! It was crazy looking at all the weird stuff.

I don't know if Stryder reads comments or not but I think he could put on some really cool glitch runs at AGDQ if he wanted to, I know that I would go to AGDQ just to see some of the crazy glitches he could show off.

Im actually doing a playthrough of this game right now on my stream lol love your vids man, gotta love glitches lol

Love your videos and this may get lost in the ether. Im a software engineer and just wanted to give some theories on that cause i get kinda intrigued possible crashes and bugs and stuff. It is possible the partners crash not for a dialogue reference but maybe for movement reference. This is just some theories: - when a cut scene force movement on a ally even if it is just a small adjustment or a forced walk up to to an ally, its possible the referenced ally for that breaks it. - the sewers problem during the crash may force a ally reference based on movement, being in the sewers, the landscape is odd with the pipe texture being uneven, from what iv played before when an ally falls behind the game forces the ally to catch up to mario, alternatively the pipe animation depending on how fast or slow you are going might force the game to reference the ally. sometimes iv seen allies forcibly move toward mario faster than normal even during a ground pound, why its prominent in the sewer is beyond me - obviously, a timing issue for sewer crash, which is not consistent cause it seems to be possible an internal clock cycle check on a global value, which would account for the randomness. i would definitely check if walking and THEN spin jumping which successfully go to you is consistent but it could be a combination of the two. also cross reference the cut scenes that crash with ones that where you actually have the ally and see whats suppose to happen there. movement, dialogue, both, or could be a verification. but from what i have seen, it is totally possible two different programmers did the programming differently, like trigger dialogue relative to ally position versus somewhere triggering dialogue to direct position on the map, but this would mean that it is inconsistent based on the programmer at the time lol. i never comment on stuff but i love this game and i love your content. Thanks!

I know what's going to happen, say it with me: *"It crashes Paper Mario"*

Being forever alone crashes paper mario and your heart

I love your dedication to this game and all its gliches

Congrats, Stryder. You've hit 150,000 subs. I'm proud. Also I was watching your videos a bunch because I saw you had 149,994 subs but someone beat me to being the 150,000th so I was 150,001.

3:14 You do Paper Mario glitches, of course it's not normal!

Getting that sweet sweet 10 minute ad revenue crashes Paper Mario

I'm a huge fan! Keep up the great work.

Again another fantastic video as always!

I have a quick little question, why did you make the Anti-Guy your logo?

I think you're still equipped with a partner object that just doesn't have an assigned partner value. The game still attempts to check/retrieve relevante data from this object for collision, coordinates or other values. If certain partners have larger or smaller collision boxes or behave differently, the game can crash if it expect a non existant value in a X condition.

Not sure how you keep squeezing relevant content out of one game! Fantastic job!

when you upload its like a blessing :)

Being forever alone crashes Paper Mario.

Not having any friends crashes paper mario

Paper Mario really is the gift that keeps on giving for all those who love glitches.

Seeing you this confused and surprised by Paper Mario glitches bring me great joy.

Well, this was..... strange.

BREAKING NEWS: BREATHING CRASHES PAPER MARIO IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAS BREATHED AROUND THIS GAME, STOP BREATHING IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

This is fascinating! It really shows that the developers honestly never expected the game to be broken to the extent that it has been. After the prologue, you would *always* have a partner and thus never need to really handle errors. Combined with arbitrary updates/checks which may or may not register or edit party data, and you get these wild effects. Amazing!

Stryder your vids never disappoint!

Stryder: Let's play w/o partners! Game: *We don't do that here*

Spoilers : It crashes Ikr shocking

I find your channel today I think I will watch every single glitch video ^^ I want to know where do you find out these things.

“It tries to pull out Bow, and the game just dies!” I love you Stryder
