Super Paper Mario - A Flat Game with a Deep Story | The Completionist

- Super Paper Mario was a deviation of the Paper Mario RPG formula. When announced it was going that direction, it worried a lot of fans. Turning the game into a blended platformer with some RPG elements lead to a very creative Mario game. Navigating the 2D and 3D axis of the game is a lot of fun and has plenty of new opportunities to hide secrets. And the plot of this game actually gets a bit dark. Luigi, your own brother, gets brainwashed and because a villain known as Mr. L. Plenty more to discuss in my Super Paper Mario review!

#Mario #PaperMario #SuperPaperMario - Hry
Would you play Super Clay Mario?
So glad you did this one, this was my first "rpg' game and first game where i learned about hp and quests and etc. It will always be one of my absolute favorites. I enjoy turn base combat, but this game was the best paper mario for me (and ive gone back to compare as im older) Count Bleck was awesome, great music. This game is truly a classic for me.
Probably, but are you gonna be playing Pokemon sword, or shield?
As long as you get to fight a giant clay claymore
Yes I would
I would buy the hell out of Clay Mario.
"A world called Flipsville"
Bruh its Flipside
That was from Mario Galaxy 2, and it was a possible reference, idk.
Gotta admit, this made me kinda mad😅
Yeah! Flipsville is from Mario Galaxy 2, and flipside is the one in this game!
Cringe
was about to comment that
"0 Deaths."
*ouch.* I remember loving the game, but I never remembered it being *that* easy.
The best thing is Mario is never hard unless it's the special hard levels but in this game it's such a joy to play I didn't care for difficulty
Nobody did, thats 1 of reasons for it being so "forgetful".
I died a bunch of times. A lot of enemies hit really hard and really quickly, and since it's not turn-based, you often had no time to think or react, and very little mercy-invincibility. I remember the mammoth things absolutely destroying me.
but what was interesting is you could do the same to them. it was oddly freeing having the ability to slaughter enemies totally at your own speed.
I'm surprised he didn't say anything about the weiiird design of all the NPCs and original enemies in this game, how they kinda clash with the returning mario ones, how they're meant to all be from different dimensions yet they seem clearly visually unified (and one of these dimensions is EVERYONE'S afterlife, so..)
Same here. I soft locked my game on the last world.
I couldn't even beat the game i got stuck at chapter 2
Is it safe to say that Count Bleck is one of the most fleshed out and interesting villains in the mario universe?
The only correct opinion
Correct
No lmao
lmao
@@FantaticTaco325 Then who would you say is the most fleshed out?
No mention of our main man Dimentio? He rains charm like colorful confetti on a orphan's birthday party.
Maybe he's not a Dimentio fan and didn't want to trigger the SPM community?
@@ninjaydes I guess you could say Dimentio like his makeup(?) has... split reception.
@@ninjaydes
That and it is a bit of a spoiler
When you mean confetti, I think you mean the flesh of the orphan’s parents.
Is it me, or do Fawful and Dimentio speak alike
"My own origami skills"
Well that aged well
PAPER MARIO THE ORIGAMI KING !
@@OrbitalLizardStudios Yeah it Is Like WOW
@@OrbitalLizardStudios Nice
Sorry Jirad... when I saw your "swan" I groaned. Please see if you can look up how to make a samurai hat... If you recomplete this game, that'll really fit.
Completionist: "Super Paper Mario is rarely talked about."
Me, an Intellectual: *Bowser's Arms*
I was gonna say I feel like Chuggaa saved that game for me. I don't know if I would have picked it up if it weren't for him
B O W S E R S A R M S
Even better: GALACTIC. BOWSER'S. ARM.
*the spinniest arms in the galaxy*
@@RennietheRobit yeah as a 6 year old I kept dying to Francis and then gave up but he really helped me see the 'soft light'.
"this game is easy"
4 year old me playing the final chapter heavily disagrees
10 year old me also disagrees
11 year old me getting stuck in the crag area begs to differ
7 year old me is in agreement with your statement
more like brobot
FRANCES
"My own *_origami_* skills"
My man predicted the new Paper Mario game what a legend.
@Weston Meyer no way, who else?
FouXr arlo said something about origamis
@@tedescoytYup, his theoretical title was "Paper Mario Origami Into the Fold".
I remember this game being really hard as a kid. I guess I was just bad.
Waffles lol me too. Never even beat it because it was to hard for me to figure out what to do
I played it recently and it's hard enough I've died a few times.
It has more or less the difficulty dependent on the player. You can easily get to level 100+ in the first level 1-1 just doing clever jumping on the rock spitting or get a few level ups just repeating efficient areas for a few minutes. If you do that the game looses any challenge there is, if you just go along it can be more difficult at times.
Lmao me to and this is one of my favorites
@@sethhh7 But he's apparently level 15 and didn't die -- he seems to be a king of platformers, seeing he also was able to complete the Lion King.
Paper Mario 64: The Classic
Paper Mario TTYD: The Fan Favorite/Masterpiece
Super Paper Mario: The Underrated One/The One Nobody Talks About.
Paper Mario Sticker Star: The Sonic 06
Paper Mario Color Splash: The Mixed One
All of these descriptions are too accurate XD
Thousand Year Door was quite good, but the original is so much better. It was just so tight all around. TTYD had a whole lot more, but there was so much mediocre fluff compared to the brisk original.
Oh boy, all he has left to complete the Paper Mario series is Sticker Star. He's already made it this far, there's no point stopping now. That episode is going to be quiet interesting.
I think Underrated is not accurate. It's not talked about because it's just so mediocre and so deviating that it's just not as good as the las two that precedes it.
Also, this game doing good farted Sticker Star. So I just can't like it.
it's more like sonic forces than sonic 06 tbh, afaik sticker star isn't a glitchfest.
I'd like to point out how Super Paper Mario was truly ahead of it's time. Super was the first game to bring back this sort of self aware humor, which we haven't seen since the Mother series. Not only that but it also had a lot of this dark humor, where sometimes they pushed it too far. This is such an underrated gem that deserves more praise than it gets.
Thousand year door had some metahumor too though
@@gamergod98l86 not much, in comparison
“Flipsville”
*Excuse me?*
Mystic Bros. That’s a Galaxy in Mario Galaxy 2 right?
Maybe? I’ve only played to the end of the first world. To my knowledge, nope. It doesn’t really sound like a galaxy either way.
It’s in world 4
Mystic Bros. Bruh
Miscellaneo and Toby yep! I immediately thought of Mario Galaxy 2!
Btw that’s the best game of all time
Jirard, as someone who's been doing origami for more than 12 years now, I'm incredibly impressed.
Not very impressive origami,Jirard,you need to go to origami school.
Mr.LeeLee Leee you must be inexperienced because jirards work is incredible
The most impressive origami I’ve seen to date
I was impressed too, but I think he mixed up the rock and the snowball.
His crumpling technique was out of this world. He certainly spent an eternity honing his skills with the Vincent Floderer mushroom.
6:52 That's not Luigi. That's Mr. L. C'mon, man:(
I guess he is a bit of an Izuru Kamukura case, huh.
Not really the same person as Luigi, just the same body.
@@runningoncylinders3829 Mr.L is secretly the *ultimate everything*
@@runningoncylinders3829 kamukura kamukura yasss queen
Really appreciating this thread right now xD
He's talking about Luigi before he was Mr. L.
This game's story is the closest we'll ever get to a serious Mario anime, and you can't change my mind.
I doubt anyone would disagree with you :)
4:59 “So essentially Wario is in this game.”
This game was first revealed in 2005 and came out in 2007. O’ Chunks was farting long before Super Smash Bros associated Wario with flatulence.
Wario already was into gross toilet humor before Brawl though.
So Wario didn't fart once from 1992-2007? No wonder he can kill a man with a mere toot, only a year later.
@@MsDarkz123 Maybe so, but he was primarily known (to Westerners, at least) as this badass treasure hunter who went on epic adventures exploring exotic locales, searching for treasure, beating up bad guys, and saving the world. The guy was awesome. WarioWare made him a childish joke, and then Sakurai made him fart.
dude it’s a fucking joke
6:42
"The Darkest a mario game got was in super mario sunshine"
Mario & Luigi Partners in Time: I beg you pardon?
fcking loved that game!
Did PiT come out before this game?
It's kinda confusing too when already completed PiT.
@@papersonic9941 By two years
And the rest of the Mario RPGs before Super Paper Mario
The best part of this game is clearly *_Bowser's Arms_*
GALACTIC BOWSER'S ARMS!
THE SPINNIEST ARMS IN THE GALAXY!
You know it's good when Dimentio references it in game.

Oh hey X-Nauts
"The darkest part of Mario is when Bowser Jr. thought Peach was his mom".
No. That would be Big Boo's Haunt, and that damn piano.
If we're excluding RPGs, then yeah. If we're including them, then no. Six words - Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. That game was brutal in terms of how everything was depicted, and it featured some of the most monstrous villains to ever appear in a Mario game. TTYD had its fair share of dark moments, too, especially with the backstory behind the Shadow Queen and what not. Heck, even a game as goofy as Superstar Saga had some really grim moments, too. Freaking Woo Hoo Hooniversity and Bowletta...
He knew all along that The Origami King was coming out (0:55)
"Flipsville"
*no*
HAHAHA
IKR! How could The Completionist miss the fact that the hub of the MUCH-more-deep-than-flat SPM is “Flipside”??
It was a simple mistake. He's only human.
I'm the 420th like XD
Worst part is that Flipsville is the name of a level in Super Mario Galaxy 2, so anyone unfamiliar with Super Paper Mario that for some reason wanted to look into Flipside would get so damn confused
I LOVED super paper Mario. Glad there’s finally some recognition for it.
I love it too!
It's my favorite Paper Mario!
@The Dark Umbreon it's ok.
@Joel Johnson Something is wrong with you....
@Joel Johnson I have to disagree
I LOVE super paper mario. It has such a special place in my heart.
Jenelle Plesz I know I have so many memories from this I remember crying because I deleted my save after getting to the last boss since I tried copying my save lol
@@littlea420 oh no!!! RIP
@Ryan Fanstone Oh I'm not ignoring the flaws lol I just said I love the game. I'll happily admit that Thousand Year Door is better than Super Paper Mario for many reasons. I adore SPM but I'll happily acknowledge where it falls short. I take time to analyze the good and the bad even when it comes to my favorite games of all time ^^
@@jenelleplesz6083 i personally found thousand year boring
@@Bennieboy918 I personally found Sticker Star a lot more boring than any other Paper Mario game (even the ones that came between SS and TOK)! 😁
Jirard: When was the last time you cried in a Mario game?
*TTYD Final Boss*
No matter what anyone says, this will always be one of my favorite games
Stay strong with your beliefs
Same
My favorite games are : undertale and super paper mario
Paper Mario: Amazing
Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door: Masterpiece
Super Paper Mario: Has an amazing story
Paper Mario Sticker Star: *TO MANY TOADS*
Paper Mario Colour Splash: It was Decent
I've seen way too many variations of this one type of comment on SPM related videos.
@singularon1 Thousand Year Door to me was the worst one cause of the amount of stopping and starting in the story. It really doesn't help the gameplay show itself on the forefront and that's not what a game is supposed to do.
SPM had a good story, but honestly it didn't have to be a Paper Mario game throwing the series into a cycle that would create chaos... It's really not even the same game genre! One is a turn-based RPG with platformer elements while the other is a straight-up platformer with RPG elements. (Kind of like Brave Fencer in a way...)
I feel about Super Paper Mario in the same way that some people (Lunatics) still consider Nuts & Bolts to be a decent BK game.
As an American reading the last line:
aaaaAAAHHHHH!!!!
As someone who found the the purer Mario RPGs to just be way more repetitive as a whole and significantly less enjoyable than SPM (and yes, I'm not really an RPG fan)... I can't respond in any way to comments like "Super paper always had awful gameplay. Very surprised people thinks super is the best." but to shake my head and snicker a little once I get over the mild feelings of disgust, but that's alright. No hard feelings. I'm kind of used to having the minority opinion on things.
I just now realise that every time Jerard makes a new intro, he has to shave his beautiful, beautiful beard, and wait for it to regrow just to make that little skit in the intro with ‘beard mode’
"The darkest Nintendo plot ever, your own brother gets turned against you"
Everybody who's played Mother 3: yeah just a second
You have been able to play the game for free for over 10 years, like how do you even spoil the game anymore
Aside from that not being the point, I don't like pirating either. But when their isn't another option available, you kinda have to. I would love to get an official mother 3, but I don't feel like waiting for a game that I wanted to play for 10+ years, and that I doubt will ever release here.
@@LordWompage looks like somebody missed the joke.
Oh fuck I'm dumb
FACE OF BEAR It never will be
As a boy, Super Paper Mario wasn’t one of my favourites, but I did love finally being able to be Luigi. But as I got older, especially after Sticker Star came out, I grew to adore Super Paper Mario

"They Don't Died They Just Game Overed."
That would be an interesting funeral to go to! 🤔
Super Paper Mario was amazing. It really needs more love.
I wouldn’t say it’s amazing, but it is a really good game
Or more hate. Bo-!
Xeno Best X ikr. The story, characters and ESPECIALLY the music are AMAZING.
I thought people already love that game to death.
It's now 64 and Color Splash that need more love tbh
River Twygz Bed is nightmare fuel. Absolute hell spawn.
The#1ZeldaFan gotta love that disembodied chanting background music
The music give me nightmares
Oh yeaaaa
That song legit gives me nightmares idk why it’s a song
@@cyanwraith5551 First time I heard it it was 3 a.m. And I rushed to the Overthere the same night. 😂😨
This is one of my favorite games of all time, but up until recently, I realized that it really was an easy game. I don't really agree with the statement that it has a really easy post game, I never finished it, but it wasn't super easy; it had its challenges.
Newer Nintendo games certainly have greater obstacles. I think the difficulty of SPM is just-right though. I like recommending SPM to other people and watching them play. They struggle at 2-4, 6-1, and 8, enough so to Game Over or use the Return Pipe.
Did you use bowser if you did, it's just long
He meant the main campaign was very easy and I agree. Not the postgame stuff like the 100 trial; which I agree isn't super easy.
I really hope for a remastered collection of Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and Super Paper Marion one day. They were all fun games and it'd be great to see them come onto newer consoles, maybe with some new features added in.
I agree :)
Watching this in 2020, that origami joke is now super relevent (?)
Haha.
Origami King looks better than it's predesscors, but still looks underwhelming. The visuals look great and the story seems to have some depth.
@@thesnatcher3616 I thought it looked better at first too, then I played it. It is now my least favorite Paper Mario game.
@@Cerebrum123 aw man there is no way you consider it worse than sticker star. I cant imagine that's possible.
@@KingdomHeart556 Well, I do. It's everything I hated about SS and CS combined into one game, with even more things I hate. For every one thing that seemed like a step forward they took 100 back. They also retcon the first couple of games, and use the game's villain as a mouthpiece to mock fans who have been critical of the series.
“The darkest character in any game prior was when Bowser Jr thought Peach was his mom”
Uhhhh what about the last... Paper Mario game? Even the first one with the third chapter was pretty scary (maybe not as dark, but it’s a dude destroying a boo population and letting them live in fear!?!)
He was also a disembodied heart using his now immortal body to eat ghosts.

Mario Kart Double Dash, various Mario Party games, Mario Tennis, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games and Smash Bros: "Are we a joke to you?"
"In a world called Flipsville."
Uhh
I felt the same way when I completed Super Paper Mario.
So much talk about the "Thousand Year Door", making this game feel like a "hidden gem." This game meant so much to me.
I'm so happy to see this game getting some love since it's so often forgotten. I've never actually played this myself, but I've watched Chuggaaconroy's let's play of it which made me absolutely fall in love with all of the characters and the story. This game makes you feel like you're a part of something big and you feel connected to everything. And the ending is one of the greatest moments in any Mario game!
I have watched that playthrough once per year for the last 5 years. It is that great
I couldn't finish it. I guess too much Chuggaaconroy at one time from binge watching. He puts a lot of hard work and dedication into every project, I just couldn't finish it.
TomtoMario yess it’s sooo good. Especially the music and characters. Amazing story and everything. It’s so freaking good
I was so obsessed that during the week hiatus he took from uploading during chapter five, I went ahead and beat the game myself. Much harder without his help but all the more satisfying.
Now it's been nearly nine years and I feel old.
Also, what about the other 5% of the game where you need peach and Luigi’s powers to progress?
And hitting the star blocks at the end of each stage with Luigi's super jump?
Huh. Never tried that.
It's more like 2%
A few obscure but mandatory platforming segments and OBLITERATING bonechill with super jump punch.
Being a Mario superfan I have to say I try to the shuffle the characters as I could so they can have their time to shine (as they rarely do in Mario games).
That origami skit at the start was some serious foreshadowing!
6:07 they don't died! People don't died when they are kill.
Speech 100
I only grew up with Super Paper Mario for the franchise so I can't say anything about TTYD or 64
@singularon1 I'm the opposite. I've played 64 but not TTYD. 64 is definitely worth playing
If you have the consoles to play them.
Do it they are both fantastic games
@@papaG6423 I've played them both. They are both worth playing.
Also, Bug Fables is worth playing too, on the topic of Paper Mario.
Play them, and start from 1 to 3 -- the escalation of storytelling amps up nicely IMO.
Same here
"Monotonous and boring"
Man I can't wait for you to 100% complete Death Stranding 😄
That was the point of the game. The more you complete the game, the more tools it gives you to simplify everything. I know for certain a LOT of people didn't realize that and just walked everywhere.
@@projectw3060 I know that and I appreciate the general idea. Doesn't mean that it's not boring to 100%, which includes A LOT of standard orders on top of the story-related ones. In fact, it could be argued that it gets MORE boring the more you simplify the deliveries via Zip-Lines, roads etc.
@@Christopher-md7tf True, it comes to preference in that regard. In my case, I've been loving every single minute of that grind. It somehow feels rewarding, but I guess that is also the point of the game too.
@@projectw3060 Well I for one just finished the story yesterday and I'm probably going to do at least a few more standard orders. It can be a little addicting in the sense of "OK one more delivery!" (MULE Syndrome, anyone?) 😄
But I fully understand anyone who doesn't like the game. There have been parts, especially in the mountain area, where I was asking myself why I'm choosing to put myself through the tedium of slowly and clunkily stomping through snow in a white-out, when I could be spending my time playing other games or doing sth else altogether. Then there's also the argument of why you would even have sth like the Zip-Line as an unlockable item, when it essentially allows you to skip playing the game. If that is considered a reward and progress, what does that say about the normal moment-to-moment gameplay?
@@projectw3060
If the point of a game is to be monotonous and boring, it isnt good
I remember being around 7 and Mimi's true form scared the living daylights out of me and I never wanted to touch the game again and had nightmares.
I came back to it though and beat the whole game it's really good
6:04 "They don't died."
Great grammaring there, bro.
speaking of origami
Seeing Timpani and Blumiere's past unfold throughout the game, and seeing how it affects the present, as a kid was one of the most defining experiences for me. Not only for how I experience entertainment, stories, and overarching plots, but character stories as well. With me learning to love backstories and character ideals, motives, personalities, and their growth, I'm able to get extremely invested in those characters, in a good way, and in turn the story too. Those parts have become my favourite parts of stories, and I'm really grateful that I'm able to experience things in this way. So thanks, SPM, for defining how I experience media, in a good way, and thanks Jirard, for reminding me why I love the things I love, and why I love this game.
Actually, the easiest way to farm coins is to buy Catch Cars SP's and keep Getting Crazy Dayzee Cards ( Chapter 6-2 ) which you can sell for 3x Value.
Catch Card SP's cost 100 gold and Crayzee Dayzee Cards sell for 300
Thanks
Hey! You have completely forgotten me as a preschooler forgets his lunch pale...
Talking about a Paper Mario game while using the South Park font, a show that was originally made with only paper. Outstanding move.
Chuggaaconroy's LP of Super Paper Mario is what made me love the game.
Me too!
"Flipsville"
You disappoint me
I can tell you as a middle child myself, the only time you ever get talked about was when you were first born, and In parent teacher conferences.
This was (and still is) one of mu favorite games ever. The story, the music, the esthetic. I played it multiple time and it always moves me. 10/10
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this game. It will always hold a special place in my heart as well as TTYD
"This Is The First Time Peach And Bowser Have Been On The Same Team Since Super Mario RPG."
Yep, no kidnapping here...For once Mario doesn't need to save Peach lol! 😂😂😂
I remember this game being difficult, but hey I was like 7 years old
Me too
I say it does have the best story, I've also heard there's even more story than what most people see, such as more to Dimentio.
Yeah. There are actually quite a few lines in the game implying that Dimentio was the original author of the Dark Prognosticus and that he's either the son of that magician guy or even the magician guy himself (sorry, forgot his name).
"The darkest story since Mario Sunshine..."
The 1000 Year Door would like a word with you.
Sunshine having a dark plot? I guess it sort of did...
Chaddie Laddie I respectfully disagree. I thought the lore of it all was pretty great, but The 1000 Year Door had humor cranked to the max in its chapters and the shadow queen is just an intimating and daunting boss without much character.
Partners in time kinda had a dark plot
The presentations of the different sections within a video is something that it's not talked about much but it's sublime in every single video. This one was particularly touching for me. Thank you so much!!
I am in love with your reviews. You go so much deeper than any other reviewer out there. I feel like you actually take the time to learn a game fully and to understand it from more than 1 angle, instead of rushing to beat it so your can write, record, and edit your review as quick as possible to make sure you get it out the day the embargo lifts. I wish more games critics would adopt this style because it is frankly awesome. Thank you for everything you do.
Also do take care of yourself, maybe make these a bi-weekly thing as opposed to every single week?
My first mario game. As a youngin, this was my childhood and will forever cherish it, no matter praise or hate.
Super Paper Mario: A Masterpiece of Storytelling. Better than TTYD in my opinion. I actually care about all of the random characters in the worlds I visit instead of forgetting about or flat out ignoring them. The villain is actually interesting. (Grodus was boring, as well as the Shadow Queen. They had no likable or memorable traits besides wanting to take over the world).
I remember as a child, I ADORED chapter 2. It was unique and I would at least play super paper mario at least twice a year so I’d forget all of the prisoner secrets and would have to discover everything all over again.
But, then Mimi came.. She TERRIFIED me with the fact her head would crack as it turned around, her eyes would turn black. Spider legs would pop out of the sides of her head. And the most eerie part, was that she’d chase you and whenever she entered the same room, the screen would pan over to her which made it horrifying.
Honestly, I had my dad defeat her whenever I played and even when I’m older, she doesn’t scare me but just... unsettled me greatly.
It looks like Nintendo sat for a meeting one day and said:"fuck it, let's make the best story ever"
I saw this in my notifications and screamed. I like this game quite a lot as you can see by my profile picture.
My first PM game
Yes! So glad someone finally said something positive about this game, its the best Mario in terms of plot imo.
And spoiler Fun Fact

Dimentio is the only Mario villain to canonically kill Mario.
As jaydes says, Mario wasn't actually killed. Dimentio does the same thing to himself and Luigi in Ch 8-3 but neither of them die.
this game wouldve have been so good as an rpg; having mario be the main party member and then rotate the other three as partners, and then have tons of customization by having the party members equip different pixls; plus, a ton of the boss fights wouldve been so cool in rpg style
Ok confession time.
6:33
When I first got the game when I was a kid. I actually fainted to this boss. I couldn't figure out how to defeat it. The music was creepy. My (old) TV screen made it look weird. Multiple attempts made me feel woozy and I never went past that boss fight. Thus I never picked the game up again. Its still right there, as a reminder that it freaked me out.
I loved this game as a kid! The soundtrack and story were amazing and I agree, this is such an underrated game in the series!
The thumbnail made me nostalgic clicked immediately.
I remember grinding hours and hours on the running wheel because I didn't know you could get a new pixel pet and steal the money you'd need...
Aww heck yeah, my childhood inspiration of a game is finally getting good praise this year! I’m so happy for all of the coverage it’s been getting, thanks Jirard! :D
Paper Jirard looks adorable. He's just having a good time.
0:33 "easy" I could never figure out how to go into 3d mode when i was younger, so i was basically stuck in the game forever trying everything and nothing worked and then i got rid of the game because "it didn't work"
Okay, I know you were young and everything, but still.
What? Didn't you tried to press the BIGGEST button on the wiimote? Really?
This is legit my favorite game. thanks for reviewing it!
"If Super Paper Mario was turn based or required a little bit more strategy, it could have been fun."
Hell no. The only thing that saved those trials for me from being undeniable torture was the fact that I could totally turn my mind off for them.
No sticker star in the background. He’s a real fan.
👀..... ok I assume you didn’t look close enough
Color splash is still their so theirs that
TBH, I’d do the same thing f I were to review Paper Mario!
@@thelightangel7559 Color splash is still decent tho
idk why but whenever I mention how much I like SPM other people are like, "hell yeah."
I've never seen a video done buy this guy in my life before now, but I've also never seen anybody who is popular on youtube do a video on my favorite game of all time. I was surprised that he never mentioned the beautifully done music, but props to him for going out and getting every catch card.
"Oragami skills" HE KNEW
7:26 Wow, that's amazing to hear. I actually cried the first time I beat it too. Never expected to cry in a game like this, but the feels just get to you.
"Yeah, Sure It's Called The Underwhere, But It's Still Hell."
I think that's what I'm going to call hell from now on lol! 😂😂😂
Tippi dying at the end caused my 8 year mope around the house for a week
Super Paper Mario did have a really good story. It also had nothing to entice me to come back to it once I was done with the main run. I'm glad I played it and simultaneously glad you ground your way through it so I didn't have to.
Jirard is the only CZcamsr I've seen that calls the Wii the "Nintendo Wii" all the time
This is ALMOST better than TTYD because of the story alone.
Heh, my final playtime was also 52 hours. I didn't 100% it, though - I found most of the recipes and cards pointless, as well as the treasure maps. But the Flipside & Flopside trial pits were some of the hardest things I've ever done in a video game. The only harder things I've done are various Halo campaigns on Legendary. Even at a high level and using efficient Bowser tactics, I needed to be well stocked with high-level healing items and recipes, which took a LOT of grinding to get.
What added the most extra time to my playthrough, aside from the aforementioned grinding, was talking to all the NPCs. They're long winded, but all have GREAT dialogue (as is typical of Paper Mario!). Some also have fun side quests (including a nearly impossible to find trading quest for a bonus Pixl), and in the postgame, they all have NEW dialogue!
Alas, the dialogue and the artwork were pretty much the only things I liked about SPM. I've never been a fan of 2D platformers, but this one especially pissed me off. The two big problems were the flip mechanic (basically making you go though every room twice to find everything), and the enemy designs - they all had movement and attack patterns carefully designed to sneak in hits. Going through levels only became tolerable in the very late game when I could both smoke them with Bowser's fire AND take tons of hits because of a huge HP gauge.
Tippi and Blecks Side story Gives Me the feels every time i Replay Super Paper Mario
Jirard, you seem to be forgetting Mario and Luigi Partners In Time. That game is JUST as dark as this one!
No, not even close.
Partners in Time and Super Paper Mario both deserve to be a lot less underrated because they have dark yet three-dimensional stories
@@kieranstark7213 PiT IMO didn't have complicated villains (they're pretty barbaric IMO) but I agree it is also pretty underrated.
I just looked, how has this man never done any of the Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon series??
1:51 Step one...
IS FIND ALL 900 KOROK SEEDS!
not just a great video but I loved the style you filmed it in
