I love how in this game, "game over" was a goofy fourth wall break, while in the game immediately following this, "game over" was a frequently used euphemism for death
The 'your game over' thing got into Super Paper Mario as well and used pretty much as an euphemism for death and for me, it's canon that in this universe people say 'i'll game over you/end your game' instead of 'i'm gonna kill you/end your life"
It was implied canon even in TTYD, even all the way in the prologue. One of the harbor workers says they "wouldn't get involved in" the scrap between Goombella and Crump, "even if they had an *extra life".*
I mean people were already getting pissy over the minor dialogue changes that already existed, tbh they probably would’ve started plotting to storm Nintendo headquarters if the Toad kid dialogue was touched in any way lmao
@@bea_chan I actually don’t recall seeing the remake get any heat for making Vivian trans again but I fully believe it if it did, there’ll always be that loud “anti-woke” minority. But I’m referring to smaller changes like the different names Bowser calls Kammy and the goombas not flirting with Goombella anymore, the fact that some people got mad over those is crazy to me
If there was a fourth wall break in the Twilight Town tattle dialogue: Goombella: This is Twilight Town. The couple in the shop remind me of something. Oh! I know! The Demolition Lovers! Wait, did I just reference MCR? Well great! Now the lawyers could be after us!
It would've been legendary if the toad said "Man, I've been playing the 3ds lately, and this "Paper Jam" game might be the best paper game on the 3ds yet!"
I think that you need to be crazy or super smart to see the fourth wall. Seeing the wall doesn’t make you snap, it just takes a conscious effort of intelligence and/or detaching yourself from reality to realize the truth.
8:03 In the original NGC version, he actually says "looking at the TV" instead of "looking at the screen". They changed it because Switch is a handheld console and the GameCube connected to a TV. Also, Paper Mario happens in a book, Paper Mario: TTYD happens in a play, Super Paper Mario happens on a Computer.
I personally feel like fourth-wall breaks work so well with TTYD because the whole thing is themed as a play/live show, with the curtains and all. Even at the end during the credits you see the whole cast again and the audience even turns back to the player. It wouldn't work that well with other games because it isnt that obvious that the whole thing is a story
The Petalburg Toad is too powerful, I just know it. His knowledge on meta gaming in Nintendo has no bounds. Now imagine this kid as a secret final boss, just like what happened to a certain character in the second trip of the Pit.

goombella: breaks the fourth wall three times in her overworld tattles,even mentions it in one
also goombella: ''screen? what screen?''
This implies goombella thinks the fourth wall is just a sheet of paper

A bit disappointing that the Toad kid never talks about the Switch, in a Switch remake.

@@setherfluous lol, conservative pissy doesn't count

The switch has a gba emulator for switch online
@@setherfluous Wtf she not trans lame even Yoshi say she girl
Gotta love when Paper Mario makes these jokes.
I wish he said something crazy after u 100% the game
I love how the devs are even aware of the Paper Luigi requests
I love the abundance of 4th wall breaks in Paper Mario TTYD.
8:02 Neat how they changed "TV" to "Screen" since there's a high chance you're playing off of the Switch's built in screen
0:25 Gotta love when Paper Mario made THAT reference. Especially considering both Paper Mario and Fire Emblem were made by Intelligent Systems.

Nintendo literally never references outside IP's, they're the ones to sue not get sued remember?
Bombshell: They know who you are and they can see what you're doing
0:25 For the gaming Toad kid, I got the one that talks about Paper Mario: TTYD.
It would've been legendary if the toad said "Man, I've been playing the 3ds lately, and this "Paper Jam" game might be the best paper game on the 3ds yet!"
If you think this was enough wait until you see the abundance of 4th wall breaks in Super Paper Mario
In the original Spanish version of the Rawk Hawk cutscene, Rawk Hawk specifically name drops Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I AM NO LONGER FRIGHTENED- I AM TERRIFIED FOR MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. THEY KNOW OF MY PRESENCE. 😰
*you'd better start running.*

I love when games punish you for messing with outside factors like time and punish you it's so funny
Super charming when they break the 4th wall in a non-story-bending way where it's just a one off thing
It's like they're in a play doing a goddamn aside and it's so funny
Leave the fourth wall alone, Nintendo.

Krump really said “don’t snitch on me”
Weird how the English version doesn't mention Smash during the Rawk Hawk cutscene
Lucky's 4th wall break when you mess with the clock setttings gives me serious Resetti vibes...
7:43 I'm listening. I'm listening!
toad kid knows about mr l
I love the thumbnail.
These are the things that truly add charm to paper mario, its why i really do love ttyd
Kid toad is everything ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Would attacks on the audience during certain boss fights (e.g. Hooktail, Cortez, etc.) count as fourth-wall breaks too?
They should mention Origami King:
That would require significant dialog changes, which nintendo wouldn't have done
What's the fourth wall break in Bowser vs Rock Hawk?
When Rawk Hawk points at you.
Did you really forget his RAWKING muscles?!
There are three people who say “Gee whiz!” in this game:
1. Vivian
2. Gloomer
3. Koops
Is anyone capital “W” Woke?
