The placement of The Ultimate Show decides the fate of every video about Paper Mario music
Then what does second mean?
First loser to an kindergartner’s tool
It's like the equivalent to Bowser's Inside Story's final boss theme
Ultimate show is mid af. Yall crazy
Exactly I think it’s super overrated it’s good but not that good also why did someone have to bully someone for liking spectacularly finally instead of it
Who would win?
A psychopath with god-like powers bent on multiversal domination
Or sciscors?
Scissors do be cutting
Scissors are too fucking OP
Scissors beats everything
I mean, in a world made* of paper...
*depending on who you ask
The fact that scissors may have a chance at winning is hilarious
The transitions with the spotlight shining on the stage are amazing. I've been trying to figure out how pace something like that before and I've usually just given up. It does a great job of building up tension which makes the whole experience that much more engaging.
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you think so! Love your vids!
I totally agree amazingly presented video!
(Also hi Mayro)
@@fredthemontymole Thanks, right back atcha!
Yeah, that was such a cool way to present each entry.
Imma just say...Origami kings music is actually peak. I go back to listen at least one track from origami king weekly. So im shocked and also find it really hilarious that Dimentio was beaten by a pair of god damn scissors for you.
Fr, Origami Kings soundtrack is so good. Metal really fits the paper mario games the best
@@user-qc1oj8xg6y Specifically for boss themes. Hence Origami King's influence improved most of TTYD's boss themes.
One thing to note about the Gooper Blooper fight theme in Sticker Star is that if you successfully turn his own ink against him using the Sponge, the theme will shift into a very snazzy version of the Super Mario Bros. theme. I really love that part of the battle lol
true
i'm glad someone told that
Super Paper Mario has the most underrated OST ever dude. I know everyone freaks out over electric guitars + orchestra and whatever but electronic music deserves more love I think. Every song in SPM has such a unique composition and I kind of wish the TTYD remake sounded a LITTLE bit more electronic. Probably a hot take though.
Anyway, nice video I enjoyed it.
i haven’t heard a single bad thing said about SPM’s ost, everytime it is brought up it is showered in praise so don’t say it’s underrated
@@Magic_Ice It's just that people don't really talk about it as much as the others. Heck, it's completely wiped off of youtube. Basically impossible to find a full SPM ost on there thats got more than 2 views.
Completely agree, and I think not nearly enough people talk about this. I have an issue with some orchestral soundtracks' tendency to become a bit samey-soundig because the intrumentation lacks variety. Continuing the hot takes: I think Super Mario Galaxy's OST falls victim to this in many places, and that it's not nearly as great as people hype it up to be.
I am by no means an expert on music theory or composition, but it always seems to me that electronic music is more versatile when it comes to covering and featuring certain individual instruments. Orchestra can fall into the trap of just becoming a difficult to distinguish mix of all of its instruments with one taking a distinguished lead, at least that's what I think sometimes.
Part of SPM's uniqueness in the eletronic music is that SPM doesn't try to do a Paper design, it does a Digital Art design. Doing that for TTYD would somewhat break the style.
SPM has the best sounding penis music on the market, woah zone practically invented the concept of penicular pieces
Instead of complaining about where you placed certain songs 😬 I thought I’d say how much I appreciate you knowing and using actual music terminology! Anyone could make a ranking, but it can be hard to talk about the music beyond “it’s good” or “it’s bad” lol
I fully agree with this. It's nice when people actually have reasons for their opinions (even if I'd disagree with some of those).
The fact you censored the Chapter 4 boss theme of Paper Mario the thousand year door. was pretty smart with the remake coming.
It was _retty cool
Should’ve done that for all of them
Yeah, until you realize that it was visible in the footage and he already revealed the bigger plot point, which was the theft of Mario's identity.
Amd his name when you decide on who to attack shows...😅
_retty smart if you ask me...
You know things are getting serious when a tape dispenser has a better battle theme than most RPGs 🔥
Stuff like this is why talent is often paired with insanity...
that’s because it is godlike
*Starts singing Tape’s theme*
Fred about to stir up the toxicity of the Paper Mario fandom with his musical tastes, lmao.
It's already beyond saving so the only other option is to go even further beyond
The Smorg battle theme makes it feel like it's telling you several lives depend on you beating this thing.
That idea with the stagelighting as ranking is really fun and it shows the insanity, of regular mario enemies, koopaling, weird character from game 2 and 3 and then the household materials from origami king, paper mario bosses went through a wild tranformation over the years
Haven't finished the video yet but for the thing with Spectacular Finale referencing the SM64 Wing Cap theme despite nobody flying, that version of the Invincibility theme is commonly used as a simple alternative, and even debuted as the standard Super Star theme in Yoshi's Island anyways.
2:55 okay I’m one of them who defends this song. Thank you very much for understanding that.
53:57 well I do.
Heck yeah, made it to the top 10.
Congratulations for you
Maybe when he does another one but for Kirby bosses I might be kinda high on the list
Hey friend.
I saw you in several Origami King OST videos.
How are you?
Ludwig?!
He's at it again!
@@DAOC88lmao same
Im biased to SPM, but you have got unique taste. Putting Tape at 3 is a good choice though!
Remember guys, this is all personal taste and opinion, there are no wrong answers (for the most part) only unpopular ones!
Same
Origami king on #1 is very deserved. Its truly an overhated game bc of the battle system but everyone sleeps on the ost
"I don't care if I get hate because of this opinion, but 53:38 is my favorite paper mario final boss song."
In all seriousness, this is a very respectable ranking. The presentation is absolutely phenomenal too! It was satisfying seeing everyone on stage and seeing which ones remained.
Good reference.
Alright, time to start a 500+ comment chain that goes on for way too long
Ok
Now lets hope nobody calls you a maggot
As someone whos favorite video game song (ever) is The Shifty Sticker, I had an excessive dopamine rush upon seeing it in the top 10 (then the top 5 [then spot 3])
I absolutely LOVE Disco Devil, a bit sad to see it didn't make it :(
My stupid butt waiting for Doopliss and feeling more and more dopamine every spot it gets higher:
(Tape and Doopliss are my favorites ever :))
I’m surprised you ranked spectacular finale lower than I expected, mainly just because you said it was the wing cap theme, which the wing cap theme is actually a remix of the Star theme, which actually fits a boss phase in a Mario game where you power up enough to defeat a foe with nearly invincible power, I felt that affected your ranking so that is why I was confused
And what is known as the "Wing Cap version" of the invincibility music actually premiered in Yoshi's Island.
@@NicDI was actually looking through where that added riff originated from the other day and always thought it was 64, was shocked to find out yoshis island started that.
The Koopa Bros. boss theme references the hammer bros fights from SMB3!
Indeed, the bass line is the same.
i didn't know that, even after a decade of playing this awesome game, paper mario, thanks for this
King of the koopas is different in the us version which is probably why you remember the solo as a guitar synth.
Number one spot is so real I concur with that placement
I loved the Nagito appearances every time you mentioned hoped and despair lol. Great list, my personal favorite is Freeze!, so having it in the top 10 is good enough for me, I do think you did Morton dirty though, that song is quite the bop
I think freeze is also my favorite in the franchise there’s just something about it i can’t get enough of
Oh man! We're off to a great start, because I actually LOVE Bowser's 1st phase theme from Sticker Star, AND I adore Magnus Von Grapple's theme! The wonderful joy of musical opinions!
1:11:43 Do I have news for you! That "voice" is actually a virtual instrument called "Delay Lama".
It's very easy to find it and mess around with by yourself. It achieved _meme_ status for being called "one of the worst virtual instruments of all time"... But still, some people enjoy it and make funny remixes with it.
Ooooh thanks for identifying it! Disco Devil is MY favourite Paper Mario battle theme and that bizarre voice thing always absolutely fascinates me too!
Hey, I'm not someone who comments a lot but I definitely wanted to do it here !
Probably not many people will comment on this, but I want to say that I LOVE the way you eliminate each character from music to music, I'd say it was funny and exciting for me to see the number of characters decrease little by little, original and inspiring ! Very interesting ranking nonetheless, probably some hot takes compared to some popular opinions but hey who am I for juging, I have some hot takes too !
agreed man this was like the best edited and produced ranking video I've seen in like 5 years it was iconic
Same I love this style too it was unique
True
51st? 51ST?
This is a travesty, amigo! I should've been at least in the top half and CERTAINLY better than that King Croacus fraud.
Dual-bladed duelist to me, justifies the legion of stationary being bosses in a paper mario game
Facing what is essentially The Reaper of this world in a duel to the bitter end, with its rules and its guidelines is so exilerating, it feels like a battle for something far greater than what the final boss stands for.
Very unique #1 placement! It’s a song I like that I don’t see too much praise for, it’s not my personal #1 favorite, though it certainly places high, and I’m glad to see that it’s someone’s favorite!
I wonder if you realized you used the JP version instead of the US version of King of the Koopas, which doesn't have the guitar thingy, but rather the light vocal-like notes, which imo sounds cooler.
Honestly, I think I really like all of paper Mario 64s chapter boss themes
Goomba kings is mid
Koopa bros is great
Tutankoopas has no right being so good
Tuba Blubbas is pretty great
General guys is fine
Naval piranha plants is pretty good
Huff n puffs is amazing
Cristal kinds is pretty cool
And the final boss theme is veeery good.
Hey dude i LOVE that video about the ultimate paper mario battle songs 3 years ago. I wanted to thank you. I discoverd it about 2 weeks ago and listened to it like 100 times already and now after 3 years a ranking is just EPIC. So thank you. ❤
This video had amazing production quality and such a fun revelation of which song was the best with the stage revealing each placement one by one. The editing and intentionality that went into this must've been a lot of work, fantastic job man. Definitely subscribed after this great video
Shifty Sticker is unironically my second favourite video game song, ever. It's genuinely insane how much I love it.
As a whole I absolutely love the boss music in this series and TOK especially just took my already high expectations and blew them out the window.
I love Origami King a lot, and its soundtrack really helped sell me on it. I really wasn’t expecting as much electric guitar as it ended up using but it works so well.
1:32:39 "A melody of impending death"
At that specific moment, my tablet ran out of battery, the screen being black, and this during the night. I was so feared/stressed when he kept zooming in the shadow queen, and then my device closes itself 😨😱
Finally! Doo_liss's theme has been my favorite boss theme in my favorite video game series of all time, seeing another person put his theme so high up brings me so much joy you have no idea! Excellent video, well done-
doo_lissious
Velumental Battle music in 49 only, Hole Punch 27th and Autumn Battle Theme in 20th? Their beat is too sick to be put that low.
These ranking videos are just exceptional. The presentation, the genuinely insightful commentary, the little bits of personality and humor. I’ve been meaning to get up and go do things for the last 40 minutes and I’ve been rooted in place watching this instead.
others watching this list.
me, watching: S C I S S O R S
Ill be honest: When this list started, I actually randomly picked one of the 96 choices to kind of be the one I was rooting for, which was Scissors. A little bit into the list I picked The Ultimate Show as my "actual" guess and Scissors was my joke guess.
I didnt expect both of them to be the top 2. So when we got to #2, I played a Game Show "switch doors" opportunity and decided to switch to SCISSORS as my actual guess.
Worth it. Scissors all the way and no regrets.
Damn im so glad to have been randomly reccomended someone who makes really well said and informed opinions on video game music
Glad you covered this, Paper Mario music is underrated
Agreed
FINALLY, not too bad of placement for what I’ve seen, I’m glad I get to see this finally.
Intelligent studios have cooked songs for years
Also new songs in ttyd remake are gonna make all of the songs better
I adore the way you spliced together the background music to fit the part of the song you're talking about, while making sure it doesn't ruin the flow by only cutting at the appropriate time, throughout the entirety of a 2 hour video. Actually insane attention to detail and adds so much to the video. Really, great video.
Regarding the "Spectacular Finale", that melody appeared first in Yoshi's Island, when baby Mario gets invincible
In fact, it would be the starman tune for that game, reused later as the wing cap theme in Mario 64.
So it's, in reality, a nod to the invencibility you get with Kersti being used.
this was super fun to watch thru! And great choices on the rankings :>
Just a little side note about king of the koopas, you were listening to the Japanese version of that theme, and while your statements do certainly still stand, the "pipes" in the back sound a bit rougher and the guitar solo as well in English version
I love how you specifically called out Pyros33’s bs comment on the SPM OST. As an I’m Not Nice enjoyer, thank you.
I quite like the use of the stage and the spotlight to signify each boss theme you'll talk about next. Well done.
As a modern (dont know what time really call it anymore because of TTYD remake) enthusiast, im happy that the #1 spot be scissors
My personal favorite has to be Freeze!, I think it just works so good at making you feel like you are in an isolated cold place in the middle of nowhere but you can hear the sound of the way to the stars beeing really close, even sounding like a rainbow road theme at some points
It's also nice to hear a song for the boss of an icy area that doesn't sound like you are battling evil Santa Claus or a generic snowman.
Absolutely fantastic video I love the suspense with the spotlight, super creative I love it :)
Duuuuude there are soooo many hot takes in this video. Only reason I haven't closed it is because I'm starting to doubt if the soundtrack for these games is so stellar that many bangers had to be put so low.
Edit: i watched the whole video now and yes, its mostly because there are so many epic songs in the series that many get buried in the back. I still feel like theres around 15 hot takes but thats ok for a 90+ song tier list, cant agree on everything
I actually view the final phase of TTYD's final boss as a sort of cautious hope. You've reached your lowest, unable to do anything to her while the droning bassy music plays. Eventually you break out of that despair as one of the most hopeful songs in the series plays, We Believe in you Mario. Then you can actually damage her again as the final boss music plays and it feels like you have a chance. She can still demolish you if you aren't careful, but you have a glimmer of a chance if you keep fighting.
All of that to say that the song is much more emotional and driving in context than just by itself.
That was a joy to watch! Seeing someone familiar with music talking about the songs was very unique, and has honestly opened my eyes a bit to why I visited soke of these tunes a bit less frequently than others (mostly the sticker star ones lol), and also vice versa! Nice work
One thing I loved about each of TOK chapter boss themes was that each of them fit the theme of their chapter and/or their personality PERFECTLY
Great job! Always love to hear opinions that are so different than mine! A note to the editor - those censoring beeps every time Gxxywod7's name is mentioned are absolutely deafening compared to the rest of the audio. Maybe consider replacing it with something softer and relevant to the chapter they are in, like the oink of a pig or the soothing lullaby of the Amazy Dayzee.
Just got to Rawk Hawk's theme part of the video. Every other song on this list better blow my socks off.
1:19:10 The instrument is called a cuíca, named after the Portuguese word for a species of oppossum known for its squeaky calls.
Bro, if you did the Mario and Luigi battle themes, that would be SICK
i would LOVE a video going into all the references in these songs, because so many of them include sections that reference old mario music.
I like the countdown method you used here. It was fun.
Watching this after playing the remake of TTYD and man i love what they did with the battle theme being different each chapter.
So glad you placed gooper blooper among the higher numbers. That sax is so good dude omg.
I really like how this whole video is presented (the crowd shots and the counters are great touches) and you do a great job explaining why you placed songs where. Also, obligatory TTYD HD mention.
I'm starting a d&d one shot set in the world & stylings of Paper Mario, and I am using this to kinda listen and pick out some songs that'll be good to add to the combat playlist. Definitely gotten some new solid songs here. :)
Congrats, this is the fastest a video has ever gone out of date with how many new boss songs/variants were introduced in the TTYD remake.
i love that you have jazz and overall music knowledge, it makes the video genuinely interesting as opposed to “this song good this song bad” and appeals to people more into music as a whole! i may not agree with all your picks but it very engaging and entertaining. i had to comment this after you referenced the giant Thelonius Monk i love that mf lmfao
The fact some of my favorites were in the bottom parts(ex. Huffin and Puffin, Go Mario *GO* , Brobot L type, and Cortez theme with Missle Maestro)
i just wandered onto your medley video back when i beat origami king and loved it omg IT'S SO GOOD.....i cant wait to see which songs you actually like and the in depth reasons!!!! this is so cool!!!!!
AND THE WINNER ISSSSS......
a pair of scissors......
The voice from disco devil is actually a formant filter synth from Omnisphere, its a really nice sound that's also been used in Splatoon 3 as well!
Dang, I didn’t realize it was an Omnisphere sound! I use a lot of their synths in my own work. Right under my nose this whole time.
i am super biased towards ttyd so i definitely disagree with some of your placements, but i think your explanations of why you ranked each song where it is make sense and it's interesting to hear someone else's thoughts.
...tok's event battle theme should definitely have been higher though
Delightful pacing, commentary, and production with the stage motif! Even more so since you put "I'm Not Nice" in the top ten--I'm ride or die for that tune (and any that does a twisted version of a character theme, frankly).
I've been preaching for years that Kamek is the single best (and perhaps the only redeeming) part of Sticker Star. He's active in the story (with Bowser just sitting in his castle, he's basically the game's main villain), his dialogue is entertaining and his battle theme is the best track in the game. Glad to see that you agree with the last one.
Brobot Battle is one that I think gets too little praise. That one is frantic, energetic and just overall a jam. Glad to see it this high.
Love the apprechiation for I'm Not Nice's second section. I don't hear many people talk about it, but I love it to bits.
King of the Koopas is definitely my favourite Bowser battle theme in any game, not just Paper Mario. It's just that good, perfectly encapsulating the stakes of this fight.
Now, I haven't played Origami King. Color Splash neither, but I've seen a full playthrough of it, at least. So I have no connection or real opinion on any of Origami King's tracks; I simply don't know most of them. But that one section from The Dual Bladed Duelist you used in your Paper Mario Medley really is amazing. The rest of the track doesn't do it all that much for me, but that one section is super great.
Some people in the comments are going on about how they really like Magnus von Grapple or defend Spectacular Finale, but I think that my favourite of the lower ranked tracks here would be the Master Battle theme. I also quite like Hey You! and Go! Mario! Go! It might just be my love for PM64's soundtrack - if you asked me to pick my favourite overall soundtrack in the series, I do think I would go with PM64.
Very fun watch, and interesting to see your opinions on some of my favorite VGM ever! I have to say I appreciate the love for much of CS/TOK’s OSTs; I’ve always kinda thought they’ve gone sadly under-appreciated. Origami King has such a fantastic soundtrack, and I’m glad they seem to be going for the same vibes with TTYD’s remade soundtrack too.
great list my guy
More ranking videos ! ❤ subscribed!
41:00 im glad u pointed this out cuz i could NOT hear the association but ive heard people say they're related
LETS GO SCISSORS! WOOOO THATS MY STABBY BOI
This is an interesting list. While I don't necessarily agree with some of the placements, I see why each song ranks where it does with you. I'm eager to see your next video.
Every time I heard you talk about hope and despair, I was just like "Is this on purpose?"
And then fucking Nagito showed up and I realized, "Yup, fully intentional."
I wish you went into the Sticker Star Gooper Blooper sponge theme (The upbeat mix that gets played after using the sponge)
It shows you worked hard on this video and the presentation was amazing, so a significant amount of respect is warranted for that alone.
I only have 2 huge gripes (subjective ones obviously). 1) von grapple and all 3 parts of the shadow queen's theme are _criminally_ under ranked. I'm a sucker for catchy electronic stuff and existential dread, and those themes fit the respective characters (and the respective phases) perfectly in my opinion. and 2) this could just be me, but some of the electric guitar tracks from origami king that are ranked so highly take away from the majesty of other epic themes. Don't get me wrong, the metal songs are cool as hell (id still rank the 2 in your top 5 rather highly as well), but they just don't give me the same emotional or grandiose vibes that some of the other themes do.
Regardless, a wonderful list overall I think. You should DEFINITELY follow this up with ranking the new soundtrack for the TTYD remake after its release. I'd watch that in a heartbeat.
YIKES! My favorite is... 76th!? YIKES! That was my chase theme man! But KUDOS for I'm Not Nice! THAT is underrated. Also Brobot L-Type, The Ultimate Show... Though my favorite will always be the og Shadow Peach Battle. ^^
I think #75 master battle should have been higher. I really like it
I've got to say, I really liked the way you formatted this video! It's an interesting and engaging way of doing a list like this. It shows that you put a lot of thought into it.
I've never decided on my favorite Paper Mario battle theme until now, but my gut instinct is telling me it's The Shifty Sticker, so I'm glad you like that one too.
The opinion I disagree with most on the low end is Sticker Star's Bowser Jr Battle. I would've placed that one way higher. I love the way the song hands off the melody between the different instruments, and how it switches back and forth from left/right ear. The accordion countermelody they add on the repeat is fun, and the whole bouncy, vaguely swingy feel is perfectly fitting for Bowser Jr. I have no shame in saying it's one of my favorites from that game.
The one I disagree with most on the high end is King Croacus IV's theme. I guess I've never really understood this one? It sounds very disconnected and messy to me. I don't like whatever is going on in the background either. I do really like that Floro Sapien Caverns riff (it's genuinely intimidating), but that's just one part of the song. I'm not sure what to make of it. At least you found some value in it.
I was indeed surprised seeing I'm Not Nice in the top 10. Never would've considered that one.
Good video, I liked it a lot.
Love your sense of humour man
This was super well put together and a joy to watch! Based video
Great list! Any reason you didn't include the "The Ringer" version of the TOK battle theme? It's so incredibly unique using the Sega Genesis soundfond and I feel like it's MADLY slept on, nobody ever talks about it
this man has some hot takes and I respect the hell out of him for it. hope the fandom doesn't come after you for this
The elimination method of the countdown is so clever! I hope more people use this method!
Loved your video have you ever thought of doing the same ranking for the Mario & Luigi boss battles those games have just as good music
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but I love how you set up the ranking with every contestant on the stage together.
I wonder if your other lists have done this too? It’s honestly brilliant, I love it when ranking videos have a twist on them like this.
You had a lot of good points on these entries. What would sometimes happen is I’d be shocked and disappointed by the placement of some tracks, but then you’d back up your points with some very good observations-it’s true that Magnus/Grodus’s themes aren’t the kinds of songs you’d listen to on their own. You clearly have a lot of music knowledge because of the terminology you use in each entry. I had to pause and look up some words and phrases sometimes, but that just means I am learning things!
I agree that the saxophone in Sticker Star sounds really off, I dislike the game’s overreliance on it. And I don’t think I”ve ever heard someone describe Sticker Star’s normal battle theme so well. “Safe” is such a great way to describe a lot of tracks in that game.
Always hated how A Powerful Enemy was used for Shadoo in SPM. It’s way too goofy for a boss that’s supposed to be somewhat intimidating.
I have a major nostalgic connection with TTYD’s Event Battle, but I’ll admit it’s mostly because of the first few notes.
I wish Iggy’s theme in Color Splash was better, it’s too generic for the GOAT Koopaling, he needs something more chaotic and intense!
Agreed with Cortez’s theme, the opening is awesome and the song is great overall, but it doesn’t match the character super well.
I definitely agree with your thoughts on the Vellumental theme, I really wish the whole song had more of the second half, that part alone makes it one of my favorites but the rest of it is only okay.
Chomp Attack is awesome, I love how you mentioned the recurring leitmotif of the desert and ruins, but I agree that it’s a little too short.
Sticker Star’s Spectacular Finale sounds like it could be a Rainbow Road theme. But eh, I share your uninterest in most of SS’s songs in general.
I haven’t finished Origami King yet, so hearing some of these songs proper has been a big experience for me. I never paid much attention to Hole Punch’s theme but it’s very fun.
I really like how you hype up the top 10, I love it when there’s a paragraph or two to preface the entries, really gives them more depth compared to the themes leading up to them.
I never thought of how the chanting in Doo_liss’s theme sounded like “Mario,” I’ll have to listen carefully for that next time I hear it. Can’t wait for the remake…
I heard Tape’s theme before this list, can agree it’s incredible. Still kind of weird that it’s the theme of a roll of tape, though.
I really like The Ultimate Show, but one thing I never liked is how it’s the same song for both the true fight and also the phase before when Dimentio is invincible. I always loved how in the first two games there's a dark and depressing theme for when the final boss is invulnerable until you use the peach beam/crystal stars/etc to remove their invulnerability. I wish that SPM had a theme like that as well, I feel like it would make The Ultimate Show more impactful, since you’d only hear it once and not twice. Maybe that’s just me.
This is the first time I’ve heard Scissors’s theme and I can see why you like it. I’ll definitely be listening to it again soon. Good running music, maybe.
Your quips are great, I especially love the Danganronpa references.
The joke with Doo_liss and Mimi at the beginning was great too.
“Is there anything that beats paper?” got a laugh out of me.
Also, you have a great Southern accent! Haha
Very good work on this video. I can imagine it took a while to make, so kudos for sticking with it and putting together something with such a grand scale!
The strangest part about this video is the fact that it was uploaded the same week I just added the Dual-Bladed Duelist to my playlist. Creepy.
Fracktail was done dirty though :(
Those transitions with spotlights were great !
I literally exclaimed 'WHAT' at you putting Magnus Von Grapple at 2nd worst, it's so good
I like to believe that in brobot battle the goofy part is the real Luigi’s innocence showing out while Mr L tries to shut that back in snapping back into the main melody
NAHH MAGNUS VON GRAPPLES THEME SLAPS BRO AWH MAN
Edit: Dude nahhh not Cortezs' theme bein' so low awh (welp, i guess different opinions an' all but stilllll)
I love Origami King and have never played Super Paper Mario, but I literally was absolutely losing it when you put The Ultimate Show in second
