4:29 Screw all that noise, the Punies could literally just squeeze through the bars themselves.
0:32 Or the Punies have found a way to produce energy with the Great Tree as I mentioned last time about the Secret Entrance neons - if the X-Nauts took hold of it now that would be a waterproof (pun intended) way to achieve their goals!
2:32 Yep, I'm also among those that think even the optional partner is better than Flurrie thanks to having a much more useful niche.
3:10 A status move that, let's not forget, also relies on RNG.
5:07 Funnily enough the Punies are among the weak points of Goombella's overworld tattles because she can't tell them apart as you can see if you come back after the chapter and tattle them.
6:12 This has been changed compared to the original as these used to be two separate cutscenes, combining them thanks to this camera movement and showing both when Mario and co. enter the room makes way more sense.
8:08 It's really weird because the mechanically identical Spiny Flip Lakilester has in 64 can be finished preemptively by pressing A, no clue why Flurrie's Body Slam can't.
So fun fact about the blue key: For whatever reason, when the Jabbi takes it through the door, it actually stays close enough to reach it with Koops. Does getting the key early acomplish anything big? No, you have to go over there for the Super Boots anyway. But the chest won't have the Blue Key so it can forever be reopened, causing the proceeding cutscene to play out every time. It's pretty humorous.
Interesting. Is that like that only in this version, or was it also on the GC?
@@Skawo I don't know exactly if it was in the original GameCube release (I'd need to test it out myself) but if I had to guess, I'm gonna say no.
Edit: So after testing I have realized that apparently in the GameCube release, the Jabbi isn't even HOLDING the Blue Key, while it is in the Switch release, so it is only a Switch thing.
@@Skawo the Jabbis carrying the key is brand new, I tested it out myself a few days ago and it's pretty crazy.
Was also curious about this: If you snag the key like this, free the punies, proceed to the bigger Jabbi hive without taking out the smaller one and get the punies locked up, you will hard lock the story progression and the file if you save the game💀
"Several hours later", and the X-Nauts somehow didn't even bother to check on the cells or even discover the Crystal Star? You'll think they would finished ransacking the place.
I'm even more impressed how Grodus has NOT taken over the world yet.
What if they’re stalling specifically so Mario or some other hero could get involved, for entertainment purposes.
I will say, Flurrie is definitely the partner I ended up using the least in my casual 100% run, really only whenever I KNOW there's a secret passage I need to blow wind over to discover.
I know people say Ms Mowz is worse, but for me she was actually a godsent when 100%'ing the Star Pieces because one sniff from her and I knew exactly which screen had a Star Piece or hidden item I didn't get (especially since I can easily tell which screens have renewable "secret" overworld items like the Koopa Leaf in Petalburg so I know which ones can throw off Ms Mowz in the first place). And her ability to steal items from enemies still came in handy a couple times (like taking coins away from a Bandit so he would keep trying to hit me for 1 damage in the Glitz Pit because I needed to get hit 5 times in the fight to rank up but I was so strong that even defending meant the enemies did NO damage, which doesn't count as "getting hit" apparently), and her basic attack pierces defense (thus rendering Flurrie's defense-piercing move kind of a lesser option; unless you're actively using her as a tank as well, which I wasn't, because Bobbery was my go-to HP tank and I also used Koops whenever I strictly needed extra *defense* instead).
People say Ms. Mowz is the worst partner, but she can at least steal items and badges and her basic attack pierces defense. I get more use out of her than Flurrie.
That's exactly why I used Fleep a lot in Super Paper Mario, as he's technically a mix of both of them. He can make enemies dizzy like Flurrie, and he can find hidden objects like Ms. Mowz. Well, unless you need *Tippi* or one of Flamm's *maps* to make something appear first.
I think it's because of her gust ability being useful, although I did hear that it can sometimes feel cheap to use it, so you still have an argument there.
I barely use Ms. Mowz, but I DID successfully pull off a Hail Mary against Bonetail with her.
@@CodesTheOtakuHail Mary?

The discussion of Flurrie not being that good in battle made me realize something... she's not really a great character either? Most party members don't get entire chapter-spanning stories like Koops, Vivian, or Bow do, but Flurrie is upstaged for virtually all of Chapter 2 as the 'main deuteragonist' by Punio.
Still think Flurrie's better than the last two party members at least - there are quite a few inconvenient enemy formations in this game (particularly when there's multiple 7+ HPers in the air) where even a 60% or so chance to Gale Force each enemy can still save a lot of hassle over spending 9 FP to still not quite kill everything or stealing an ok badge sometimes against nonhammer-immune enemies
“You generally want to kill everything as fast as possible” -Skawo, 2024
I smell Italian tree products.
fun thing: the Yux rings don't count as the Yux getting the first strike in the remake, I think. they just damage you now.
Mario and the Punis aka Discount Olimar and Pikmin
Same with some other projectile enemies, like Hammer Bros.
Are you sure you didn't have a certain badge on? I seem to recall getting hit by a Yux's first strike, and I've never played the original.
I think the treasure that is sealed behind the thousand year door is your LP of Zelda sealed palace
Sorry. That was getting, like, 500 views per video.
It's gonna come back at... some point, but right now I'm having enough trouble keeping up with even just this LP.
One detail I can really appreciate: a lot of the 3D, papery details present look a lot more... presentably papery. The various sculptures around the tree's interior, for example - the folds to form their shapes are a lot more evident, as are the Puni statues that sometimes are on top. Same with the Yux's attack, it looks a lot less weird when it suddenly turns to face Mario from its usual position of looking at the camera. There's like, actual, visible creases and lighting when it "flexes" (ewwww) to fire. It's nice! They've really gone all-out with the visual upgrades in all these remasters...
... And I would guess the idea with the Elder's sudden additude shift is to highlight that she's... clearly not a reliable leader (along with the comedy that she's clearly lost some faculties with her age, which... seems to be a running joke in this game?), her completely forgetting information she was just told a few minutes ago. Maybe I'm extrapolating (... as I am wont to do), but it also sort of highlights Punio's sort of... "destiny", in a sense. The Punies are skittish, characteristically noncombative critters, running away or getting caught quite easily. Punio is the one to proclaim that if they all group up, they can take back their home. Classic "becoming a leader" character arc stuff.
Im surprised there was no: "MANHOLE HOOK" sprinkled in for the RGB pedastool at the start of the video. I was waiting for a moment to see a callback to the manhole hook. But hey, it's not like anything could go wrong....despite paper being able to move sideways out of places that they are "stuck" in.
Yeah, Flurrie is bad, but not nearly as bad as the optional party member later on. Unlike them, Flurrie can attack enemies that are hanging onto the railing if you aren’t using Quake Hammer.
As for Punio and Petuni’s relationship, I think that’s pretty common in Japanese media. Most of the time siblings are depicted as doting on one another, whether it’s the older sibling doing that or the younger sibling.
Ms Mowz has the badge stealing niche, at least, which nothing else can fill.
The ceiling enemies are super rare and can be handled with other means (superguarding or quake hammer)
You'd have a point with Mowz's item/badge theft if it didn't only work on the front partner...
@@Skawohow would you feel if there was a super duper omegaboss that was in the air, like bone tail with wings or a refight with the vulture in paper Mario 64, high defense and stuff
I would use Mario
@@Skawolol good answer
That just made me think of Mario as a parter instead of the main character, and then that made me think of if dupliss was a parter they could’ve had a 1 billion fp move making him copy into Mario, giving you like idk 6 turns as a double Mario team.
I feel like some extremely unique jank could occur in that situation…
Edit: thank you for your fantastic and priceless work on tcrf, you dig the deepest and have fantastic punctuality and humor
I feel the same way about Flurrie being the worst partner in the game. The values I see her having are the ability to hit enemies on the ceiling for free, whereas Mario needs FP and Quake Hammer, but the chapter 4 partner does that too and there's only...2 instances before that partner joins where an enemy will be on the ceiling anyway. She has the highest HP of any partner until the chapter 5 partner joins. A value that gets diminished if you equip Quick Change since then you can just switch to the healthiest partner at any given time (unless Mario acts first I guess). The last value I see her having is honestly just her overworld move, both for the mandatory cases and for stunning enemies but I find enemies in the overworld easy enough to avoid getting first striked and easy enough to first strike that it's not too useful. The hidden partner gets a lot of flak but at least they can get you extra items and/or badges during some fights and their basic attack pierces.
@9:41
"So why was the elder perfectly nice before and so angry now?"
Something about her not liking how you released her before you released the rest of the tribe, I'm sure.
9:46 I officially hate the Elder, should’ve stayed in that cell
She’s as bad as Beldam, except she makes me way way more mad strangely
I agree that Flurrie is the worst partner in the game. Miss Mowz can pierce defence without FP, which is useful for a certain new enemy added, no spoilers, steal badges which is obviously good, and convert FP to HP if your desperate. I use her way, way more than Flurrie,
Body Slam hits ceiling enemies which is nice...but a certain shadowy partner later on can do the same thing....and you only find regular enemies on the ceiling once. And the second time you have to take them on, you can only use your new partner.
Lip Lock is okay, but Bobbery fills the tanking role better and has Hold Fast to deal enemy damage back.
Dodgy Fog is a status move, enough said. Dodgy is okay if you don't have Lucky badges, but its just not that amazing.
The only thing worthwhile about Flurrie is honestly Gale Force. Flying enemies are super vulnerable, and in the lower floors of the Pit it can be a godsend. Plus, there's a use of it I found to easily grind levels in Chapter 3.
Step 1: Fight the Wings of Night. Its much easier to do so in the remake, but I won't spoil anything
Step 2: Use Gale Force to instakill them
Step 3: Bask in the 20 odd star points you get from them thanks to fighting them a chapter early.
Step 4: Heal with the locker room bed for free, and repeat. Its a surprisingly effective way to grind early game.
While I'm enclined to agree that Flurrie is the least useful partner, I can't in good conscience say that she's completely useless. Lip Lock has at least a little bit of a niche when it comes to enemies like Spiky Parabuzzies, and her last move actually came in clutch for me against the new superbosses.
But, yeah, even so, it was always difficult to find a situation where it felt worthwhile to use her over someone else :|
If there’s a Puni elder and siblings, I wonder how families work for the Punies…
6:38
the damn social media manager of the X-Nauts has messed up again
7:27 sheesh flurrie, you dont have to be another goombella
thats another can of worms probably best not to open
..for now
Not a Flurrie fan either but she can't possibly be worse than Ms. Mowz
Flurrie can have some use once you get a specific move from upgrading her. Not spoiling it yet as it's available after chapter 5.
Lakilester's basic attack could be executed early by pressing the A button, whereas Flurrie's cannot. This is one of my minor nitpicks with this remake (even though I never played the original, I watched several LPs of it). Flurrie's basic attack feels slower than it needs to be, and twice over they missed the chance to fix it by doing something they managed to do before.
Other than that, I got some uses out of Gale Force against annoying enemy formations, and especially Dodgy Fog, since I'm a sucker for evasion builds, hence why I find Lakilester to be underrated. That and his basic attack dealing indirect damage from any position, a niche utility not covered by the TTYD party.
Sadly though, I never bothered with Lip Lock or Ms. Mowz's Smooch. My go-to healing moves are the specials.
8:54
You'd probably have at least 40HP after trying the Pre Hooktail Pit, so... I guess that has to indicate something.
11:32 Something seems off with the close captions
Fixed, thanks for notifying me~
We get lectured to death
I assume you're not doing Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?
Nope, I did a replay of the 3DS game recently enough.
personally i don’t care about the speed of an enemy dying i just care about them dying in general what am i in a hurry for
And Flurrie does not do anything extra to ensure the enemy "dies in general" relative to other partners. Just does it slower. Might as well go faster, then.
Skawo your video broke on my RUclips it's not displaying properly
6:01
6:26 Does anyone know what Koops says to her if you have him out during this cutscene? It's too late for me to try it, but I want to hear the thoughts of the one MALE partner that you can have by this point in the game.
I do!
“Oh! Неy! I know you! Y-you're that one girl... I-l never thought l'd see...”
“Wait, uh... Listen. I mean, not that I'm happy to see you, but... I'll shut up now.”
“Aww, AGAIN? Why? How? You're SO lucky, Mario!”
“Man, she sure is cute.”
As you could probably tell, Koops is very…enamored by her, despite having a girlfriend
@@RelanTheMan Ah, so he reacts kind of like Lock does to Peach in Super Paper Mario but with less desperation. In case you don't know, Lock is a guy you find in Chapter 2-1 of Super Paper Mario, who escaped from Merlee's Mansion. He will hit on Peach when approached by her.
@@KopsiDayzee22 oh yeah, love that guy. Peach even disses Mario by telling Lock to come rescue her if she gets trapped, like “a certain mustachioed man used to.”
@@RelanTheMan Yeah, I remember that, too. Skawo pointed out that it seemed like a hint towards a grudge she might have. In Koops's case, I think it might be that he's more afraid of his girlfriend than he is of Ms. Mowz, so naturally, he's trying to be more vulnerable with the sweet-talker.
I had Goombella out when I entered the room with the Ultra Shroom. Allow me to share her responses for anybody interested.
"Hey! Stop right there, missy! You're that thieving girl we saw before!"
"Eww! Not another smooch! This flirting is out of control!"
"I can't BELIEVE that girl! Ugh! I can't stand her!"
It seems like even if Mario is focused on trying to save Peach, he doesn't mind the fact that he now has a fangirl army. I don't even think it's a fair argument to say that Goombella and Flurrie are just trying to act like bodyguards of a famous person. Because it shouldn't take more evidence than this to prove they'd make terrible ones 6:40
8:49 Really? Where?
Well, Gale Force can help with *some* bosses...but so can Multibounce and spoiler and spoiler, and...yeah okay, you see where I'm going. Plus Multibounce is less expensive. And all of those other moves including Multibounce are guaranteed flunky ending. So nyeh.
Mr. X-Naut Man was so threatening that they whipped out the goofy kazoos instead of the marginally more serious Event Battle...2. Because the one that played is Event Battle 1...even though you hear 2 first. I appreciate the use of 1 either way though.
With all this flirting (I guess Ms. Mowz gets a pass since that's kinda how she is), it'd be extremely funny for Mario to just casually drop the bombshell that he's semi-taken.
FINALLY. You finally started exploring the Great Tree. I waited 2 f***ing EPISODES for this!!
This was a joke btw take your time and do as many side quests and NPC hunting as you want
Finally someone who also thinks Flurrie is the worst, I've been trying to tell others for years lmao
