There are plenty of glitches in Paper Mario that allow us to refight bosses infinitely, attack invisible goombas underneath the map, even fight Bowser as Princess Peach... but what about glitches and oddities with the battle system itself? Well, that limits us to breaking the game's basic battle mechanics, but you might be surprised at the results!
0:00 Double Dip + Egg Missile Crash: This one is still not understood. Double Dip is integral to the crash, and similar enemies handle it fine, so it's complicated.
00:25 Goombario's Multibonk Glitch: Remember that Power Bounce formula from "Can Mario Defeat Bowser in 1 Turn?" Well, Goombario uses the same formula for his Multibonk. But it doesn't work right. The base value applied to the formula, 200, steadily declines as you bounce consecutively. The value is supposed to reset once you get capped, but in Goombario's case, it doesn't. He's stuck with a low base value for all future Multibonks until the value is reinitialized by switching him out or entering a new battle. This means you're extremely likely to get capped before he can manage a third hit, making Multibonk temporarily inferior to his Headbonk. How sad is that?
1:37 Hammer Throw Oddity: Recall the Monty Moles in Chapter 6, found harassing Petunia. Unlike every other enemy in the game, this particular enemy is weak to the Hammer Throw ability. Mario's normal hammer works normally. Throwing his hammer deals an extra 3 damage to them for no understood reason. If other enemies shared this hidden Hammer Throw weakness, perhaps the badge would've seen more use.
2:39 Up, Up, & Away Oddity: Fuzzipede has a weakness to Up, Up, & Away, despite being considered a miniboss. No other boss-like enemies have this property, and you're not supposed to have Up, Up, & Away when you fight him. Like the Monty Moles with a unique Hammer Throw weakness, Fuzzipede's Up, Up, & Away weakness begs the million-dollar question: why?
2:49 Fuzzipede Ceiling Glitch: Fuzzipede clings to the ceiling after landing a hit on Mario. It's kind of annoying because Fuzzipede promptly returns to the ceiling when struck. Because of this, there is a curiosity with Power Shock, since Fuzzipede is unable to move after being forced off the ceiling. Everything else is normal, unless you use Mario's Spin Smash ability. This tosses Fuzzipede back on the ceiling, still paralyzed, but the game hasn't properly updated Fuzzipede's battle position. Now Mario can perform a normal jump on ceiling Fuzzipede.
3:01 "Negative" Damage Glitch: Mario can equip charge badges and stack power increments to unleash a massive attack. 99 damage is Paper Mario's damage limit. Ice Power says otherwise. With Ice Power, Mario's attacks against fire enemies receive 2 bonus damage. Ice Power is likely not factored into damage calculations until the very end, since this is the only power-increasing badge that allows you to exceed 99 damage with a single hit. The game does not have a "101" and "100" available for display, and uses a placeholder negative sign. So "-0" is just Paper Mario's way of telling you 100.
3:09 Dizzy Attack Demo Glitch: Dizzy Attack can stun the frontline enemy as a first strike. It seems as though the developers programmed the first turn of a fight to check for Dizzy Attack, since something strange occurs if you die to a backline enemy on turn 1. Hang tight on the title screen, and you'll find that the demo reel's battles now behave as though Mario performed a Dizzy Attack first strike. The first few fights still behave correctly, but Tubba Blubba is supposed to attack you. With this glitch, the demo will not progress, so you can stare at Tubba Blubba forever.
4:18 White Clubba First Strike Oddity: A squad of White Clubbas are found guarding the Crystal Palace. Each one speaks to Mario before the encounter, but you can first strike them with Kooper and Bombette before they say a word. However, the first strike is canceled in-battle. Weird, right?
4:56 Dark First Strike Glitches: Battles that take place in the dark are not programmed to handle first strikes from Mario's partners, likely because the developers assumed everyone would use Watt to brighten the cave. Furthermore, without Watt illuminating the battle, Mario and his partner cannot target enemies. But if you use Bombette or Kooper to first strike an enemy, you will get strange results depending on the number of enemies in the formation.
2 Enemies: Bombette and Kooper strike the backline enemy instead of the frontline enemy.
3 Enemies: Bombette and Kooper strike themselves, but do not truly sustain any damage.
4 Enemies: On Virtual Console, Bombette and Kooper "miss" the first strike. On Nintendo 64, the game crashes.

@@williamnorris4166 No. I never used Goombario in battle after getting any other companion. Why would you?
@@ManoredRed Meanwhile, in one playthrough I did, Goombario killed the Crystal King via max-Charged Multibonk. So he's less useless and more along the lines of an Awesome, But Impractical Lethal Joke Character.

Yeah, he can't hold a handle to Goompa, the #1 Paper Mario partner x3

I love how you describe some of those with a tone of voice that makes me think "tsk tsk, those developers should have really accounted for this highly improbable scenario, discovered 2 decades after the game was released..."
talking about 2 decades , that reminds me of the rainbow coin they found after 17 years , thats another " the devs should have known someone finds it
I applaud the devs for how much they were able to do considering it's a N64 game :) Especially considering it took us 2 decades to find so many glitches! I can't help but think "...woah why does the game work like this??" when we learn about something like the Goombario Multibonk issue

'This is the only enemy in the game with a Hammer Throw weakness'
Wonder if the idea was well... whack-a-mole?
I am not sure but if you're throwing hammers at moles in whack-a-mole, I think you might be doing something wrong.
Maybe Monty Moles were originally weak to all hammer attacks, but the developers felt that was too over powered and removed it from the game. However, when they removed it, they missed something that allowed the weaknesses to work in this very specific scenario.
I feel like someone was using the enemy for testing weaknesses or something, but forgot to remove the weakness when they were done. Moles being weak to hammers makes sense, but it's an awfully specific weakness to program in since no ordinary player would think to use Hammer Throw in that situation.
I actually think it make senses
Since those moles attack by throwing rocks at you, I can completely understand throwing an attack back at them being a good thing to do.
Yeah I think this is actually an easter egg, not a bug

2:03 It's not weird, it actually makes perfect sense. You flip it backward when it's on the ground and you make it fall straight down when it's on the ceiling. It would be weird if it didn't work that way. It was obviously intended.
That's not the argument.

Ceiling buzzy beetles face towards Mario when down, but still flip towards Mario, with their head facing towards the ground while they're flipping, then turn around.
"because why would anyone use hammer throw?"
worth watching
My suspicion is that it's a reference to whack-a-mole. For those who've not seen, it's an arcade game where you hit stuffed moles on the head with an also stuffed hammer while they are popped out of the "ground" (machine). And maybe they only did it on that one, likely going to not be used method, as a joke and not to make the mobs trivial.

This tosses Fuzzipede back on the ceiling, still paralyzed, but the game hasn't properly updated Fuzzipede's battle position. Now Mario can perform a normal jump on ceiling Fuzzipede.
Negative" Damage Glitch: Mario can equip charge badges and stack power increments to unleash a massive attack. 99 damage is Paper Mario's damage limit. Ice Power says otherwise. With Ice Power, Mario's attacks against fire enemies receive 2 bonus damage. Ice Power is likely not factored into damage calculations until the very end, since this is the only power-increasing badge that allows you to exceed 99 damage with a single hit. The game does not have a "101" and "100" available for display, and uses a placeholder negative sign. So "-0" is just Paper Mario's way of telling you 100.
Dizzy Attack Demo Glitch: Dizzy Attack can stun the frontline enemy as a first strike. It seems as though the developers programmed the first turn of a fight to check for Dizzy Attack, since something strange occurs if you die to a backline enemy on turn 1. Hang tight on the title screen, and you'll find that the demo reel's battles now behave as though Mario performed a Dizzy Attack first strike. The first few fights still behave correctly, but Tubba Blubba is supposed to attack you. With this glitch, the demo will not progress, so you can stare at Tubba Blubba forever.
White Clubba First Strike Oddity: A squad of White Clubbas are found guarding the Crystal Palace. Each one speaks to Mario before the encounter, but you can first strike them with Kooper and Bombette before they say a word. However, the first strike is canceled in-battle. Weird, right?
Dark First Strike Glitches: Battles that take place in the dark are not programmed to handle first strikes from Mario's partners, likely because the developers assumed everyone would use Watt to brighten the cave. Furthermore, without Watt illuminating the battle, Mario and his partner cannot target enemies. But if you use Bombette or Kooper to first strike an enemy, you will get strange results depending on the number of enemies in the formation.

Funny that you have the Phantom Ruby profile pic on a video that's essentially about game corruption.
"Did you ever use Hammer Throw?" Did you mean: Spartan Laser? Charge that puppy up for 20 turns and have fun with a really loose and easy battle system. Best thing I ever did was use it to pop a cap in Tank Guy for the full amount of his HP and then some.
Reprogrem wait what?
Wait thats illegal
I just really want to know what this chaos means
He means he used hammer charge and chucked at the boss shy guy (tank guy? cant remember the name of him) in shy guys toy box
But how?
"How did this go unknown until 2019?"
Maybe because it was so oddly specific? Much like the Hammer Throw thing, I feel like most people wouldn't encounter such a glitch given the necessary methods to get there.
4:15 “how did this go unknown until 2019”
Well it’s because you just made the video today
Im pretty sure ppl kne of some of this juss not gonna do a CZcams video about it lol

Paper Mario is seriously my favorite video game and it’s amazing just how much I’ve learned about it from watching this series of videos you’ve done about it! Hats of to you for all of your great work!
The moles throw rocks, you throw your hammer. This is the only logic I can think of.
me: "huh, i wonder why this crashed the game?"
stryder: "allow me to introduce myself"
I'm willing to bet that hammer throw weakness on the Monty moles was originally intended to be a quake Hammer weakness like how in Pokemon earthquake is twice as effective or something when you use it on an enemy that's digging
Stryder: How broken is Paper Mario?
Paper Mario: Y̢e̴͜s̸̴̴
i'd say this game was my childhood like everyone else, but i actually just beat it last month for the first time c: Pretty fun game for sure

Stryder, just wanted to say that you’re one of my favorite youtubers and I find your videos weirdly relaxing (they often help me fall asleep). It’s always so interesting to learn new things about such an old game. Keep it up!

Goombario isn’t so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a partner with such aptitude and wisdom with game knowledge? Goombario puts the battles to another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a partner with his utility and raw power in paper Mario ever again. Parakarry clears gaps. Bombette clears battles. Goombario... breaks the game! You can keep your mechanics. I prefer the magic.

"this game is broken"
I dont know why, but all the sounds in this game are so satisfying XD
I love this channel. The case study details put in to this one gane is amazing. One of my all time favorites
That insta-crash followed by your intro jingle *perfectly* sums up your channel.
I like how a random enemy is weak to some completely random ability you would never use against them. Would be great if some other game had something like that where enemies have some completely random nonsensical weakness.
Paper Mario: it barely works, barely.
I’m really thinking about supporting you Stryder7x! I’m getting so close to that patreon link. Dude, there’s som crazy shit I really wanna look into in the TTYD, I feel like you are the go to guy for it. Always great watching your stuff.
Man, I was just watching your past MQ streams a few days ago and Fodder told you about the glitch. Somehow it's super exciting to see what he told you and you tested/theorized on inside one of your youtube videos.
Also super nice to have confirmation that it DOES crash on the N64, like Fodder said.
6:54 “First striking an enemy crashes Paper Mario.”
You know it's a good Stryder video when you finish watching it and your browser crashes like mine just did
I want to give a shout out to the love and dedication you and your crew give to this game. Who knew that even after two decades one could still be finding unique ways to break and exhibit strange happenings in this game?
In defense of Hammer Throw:
When I was a kid, I could not, for the life of me, get the jump action command timing right. Hammer throw and items were my only options against flying enemies.
Miss you man♡
I hope he returns seeing my favorite n64 game beeing analysed to the last bit is just amazing
I am still blown away that there is a channel almost entirely dedicated to paper mario trivia. I'm shocked even more that said channel is so damn entertaining to watch.
Good work as always.
As a kid, I thought I just sucked when using Goombario's Multibonk due to seemingly whiffing it during important boss battles. Now I know why. Thanks Stryder.
Was... Hammer Throw supposed to do more against enemies that chuck things? That's my only guess.
But there are many more enemies that chuck things, but hammer throw doesn't affect them differently
1:56 "98.5 percent of the time..."
Did you calculate that out? I just can't tell with you.
This time I didn’t, just added a bit of personality there lol. Though 98.5% of the time has to be close to accurate when it comes to how often Hammer Throw isn't your best option
@@Stryder7x Pro mode at least makes it a bit more useful with the spiky paragoombas in chapter 1 and the embers in chapter 2. Still becomes completely worthless once you get spike shield though.
@@Legend-qq6km Definitely true, I'm glad it saw more use in that hack. I always thought Hammer Throw should do more damage, it looks brutal
@@Stryder7x It deals tons of damage... In kirby games. Also is a good idea to use it against Troopa Jr. 4, altough spiky shield can also do the job and is more powerful when combined with D-Down jump or charge.
3:55 That dazed Shy Guy dance is the best. It also occurs quite often when you block Shy Guy's attack.😵😂
It's like you upload every time I don't expect it and stop paying attention for a day.
0:29 Whaaaat? Really? He's my favourite because he has something to say about every location and NPC. I nearly always keep him out. Not the most useful in battle, though.
I can explain the extra damage on the mole.... "wackamole"
The amount of content from one CARTRIDGE you have made it staggering.
Well done 👏
That pre-intro to intro transition was great.
S5: FFFFFFFFH is probably an integer overflow that caused the game to crash
learned this from pannenkoek's integer overflow burning bully... all FFFFFFFF in hex is an overflow
6:49
I assume the H in the first value is assembly hex notation, since H isn't a hexadecimal digit.
Yeah, you're probably right, because VC has no problem with overflows and deals 0 damage (-0 damage?) there.
FFFFFFFF is how -1 gets encoded. The error is "unimplemented operation" though which is strange. It might be a division by zero?
“This game came out almost 20 years ago”
Damn
1:02 In a discord server called the Glitz Pit, we had challenges for the community to try out. While battling Junior Troopa 6 under loads of conditions, I had already completed a Multibonk, and was charged for another to finish the battle. He had 7 HP left, so a Headbonk wouldn't finish the battle (1 HP would be left). I had to execute a Multibonk, and it landed only twice. I died when he had only 2 HP, on what would have been a wildly entertaining victory. I audibly slammed my controller in disgust when I died. There's no WAY I could have messed that Multibonk up.
Who would have thought that nearly a year later I'd see the reason why: I got capped because of the described glitch. Thank you, Stryder, for providing the answer to this conundrum.
There's another weird First Strike bug in Jade Jungle.
I'm not sure if you've talked about this one before, But the Putrid Piranhas bullying the Baby Yoshi is normally a forced fight, where you can't run away. But using Bombette or Kooper lets you first strike them and it acts like a normal battle.
I didn't even know this was a forced battle because I always tried to First Strike them.
"This game came out nearly 20 years ago..."

Isn’t that the point of Play Testers?
To do everything over and over to check what causes a glitch?
Sir Apple I’ll forgive them for missing this, since it A. Is a totally random thing to happen B. It’s the only time this happens and C. It doesn’t break anything
Arcadius Dragon Eyes
Yeah that’s fair.
If you hire a team of qa people, and give them months, you still have a small fraction of the time people will put into a game day 1, as you just cant have 1000s of qa guys, and millions buy big games. QA people have to be thorough too, which means repeating something over and over again to be sure if its not broken, so its very hard to expect them to find weird things like this, especially when they may have, and just didnt think their was anything wrong, the game didnt crash or anything.
A lot of the bugs are very specific so yeah it's very easy to miss. We have the convenience of playing the game for almost 20 years, QA testers had a couple months, if that. A few issues got corrected between the Japanese, U.S., and PAL versions of the game since there was more time to correct issues before the game was localized
Stryder7x
That makes a lot of sense and seems very obvious in hindsight.
Thanks for the answer, Stryder.
I never get tired of watching these paper mario videos. 20 years ago or more, this game is still amazing
Me plays game properly.
Paper Mario: no this isn't how you're supposed to play the game
They should make a remake of the game on switch
I love how Stryder7x calls it “the” game crash.
He knows what we came to see!
Thanks for uploading! Man, will wonders never cease? Maybe someday we'll understand all these glitches....
You are honestly one of the best youtubers i am subscribed to. Thank you!
Of course the camera man doesn't know where to aim. You keep taking away his only source of light!
Jesus, this game was made with paperclips and scotch tape.
No that's Super Smash Brothers Melee
@@lvl5Vaporeon That one was made with Popsicle sticks and dried spunk.
Pokemon Red and Blue were also made that way.
Well it is made of paper.
hard to believe after 20 years came this game out, and there is still such a huge community for a Offline Rpg! i couldn't believe when i find this Channel there was soo much mechanics for this game i didn't know, and even after 20 years there are still new things getting discovered
My personal guess is that the double dip egg missile combo on lava piranha soft locks the game because of some hidden X and Y values. Lava piranha has three sprites and due to the awkward position of being both a ground based enemy while also being nearly 30 degrees to the left of the roots position. Just a guess though, it’s possible that the head has two X and two Y values, so by hitting one but not both it causes the game to continually loop by checking one but not the other.
"That's only on the virtual console though, if you're playing on Nintendo 64..."
Does it crash the game?
"That's the game crash"
Of course it bloody does
And that's why they made super paper mario
These videos are always so facinating, my mouth was agape for most of this.
I like how the timestamps, as well as the descriptions, are put in the seek bar
"This game came out almost 20 years ago."
...when did I get old?
Starting from when you became a 1 year old
Okay I think we get it, everything is broken.
Great video! What font do you use in these videos??? It reminds me of Paper Mario a lot and I'd love to use it.
I had that dizzy attack thing happen to me once when I was a kid. I obviously never put together what triggered it, but I do remember it happening
😎
Bruhhhhhh

Mario: *yeet*
Game: _crashes_
I find it fascinating that doing the same thing in the VC version vs the N64 version would yeild different results at times
This is a reason why I love old games, they have so many silly errors to discover that will NEVER be patched out automatically. Like Super Mario 64's famous backwards long jump. Can't wait to finally play Paper Mario on my N64 or Wii U sometime, it's one of the games I want most right now!
This game still looks so, so good for being 20 years old, it's impressive!
