Q) How did I get more Double Pains? A) The only way to aquire more than one is via a developer oversight; if you pick up a badge dropped by an enemy while your badge inventory is full (200 is the maximum allowed), you can choose to toss any of your other badges. This action makes the game think you "discarded" a one-of-a-kind badge, so a copy of it will be on sale at Lovely Howz of Badges (even if you pick the original back up again). This can be repeated indefinitely with any badge, though the shop can only hold three instances of a particular badge (like Double Pain) at once. Have fun!
The Prince Mush fight really felt like a fan made joke fight and I think it honestly sucked because of that. I really think it could have been a cool fight, but it was more like the 64 pro mod bonus master fight.
It does seem like the designers were inspired by ROM hacks, which is wild 😅 I enjoyed the fight because figuring out how to overcome his second phase felt like a small puzzle, but I understand not liking it
For years I have debated whether or not that was actually Jolene, although considering how her kid brother can teleport in the remake I'm guessing maybe she has similar powers just nowhere near as strong. Regardless she's an S-Tier character.
That's true! I'm pretty sure there's a reference to the Chuckster in TTYD, the Pianta bouncer outside of the parlor says "You do anythin' funny, I'll toss you like DAT!" which simultaneously gave me a good laugh and sent shivers down my spine remembering that level from Sunshine
I loved that it was basically a puzzle to figure out how to damage him in his second phase...I tried everything before superguarding, even bringing cake to the battle (lol)! Then I re-read Goombella's tattle more carefully and realized
The german names of Jolene and Prince Mush are Toadskova and Toadskov (with his stage-name being "the Dark Toadster"). Their names have russian/slavic endings to reinforce the image of a poor family emigrating to find a better life. With the big brother putting his life on the line to provide for his little sister. Their japanese names also have those russian-sounding names.
Fixed fights. Gangs. Crushing people. Ttyd was so cool how it had so many dark aspects to it. Super paper Mario too. Wow it even went into the afterlife it was nuts
For real, it'll probably take me four videos to talk about everything in TTYD alone 😅 Super Paper Mario's chapter 7 is unbelievable to me...I would've never imagined a Mario game taking inspiration from Dante's Inferno of all things haha. I love the way they wove "game overs" into the story
@@ThaneGaming that and a character sacrificing themselves in Mutiple parts of the game with count bleck and our main ally. It's crazy how much we got to see
@@ivanbluecool Definitely. I think the Sammer's Kingdom chapter is a solid example too, and The Void's existence in general. We have characters talking about the inevitable apocalypse in the vein of Majora's Mask
@@ThaneGaming yeah playing it as an adult I was basically whip lashed into how this game managed to be both funny and scary at the same time. They even had the river sticks and those arms that drag you down. That's when stuff is really scary when you aren't expecting it.
@@ThaneGaming It was kinda alluded to in TTYD as well. In the very start of the story, one of the Harbor Toads mentions they "wouldn't get mixed up in [the Crump vs Goombella fight], *even if they had an extra life".* Implying that "dying" and coming back is _both canon and entirely normal_ in their world, rather than merely a gameplay mechanic (maybe Life Shrooms are merely a cheaper, less-strong version of 1-Ups?)...
Oh by the way. Remember how I said that the Pianta Syndicate is straight up reffered to as a mafia in the German version? Yeah all the perfectly family friendly juice shops are bars. Podley is also explicitly called a Barkeeper so they weren't hiding what beverages are actually being served there.
That's true, I didn't realize 16 was the legal drinking age there! It's still surprising to me that there's direct references to alcohol in that version though because the game is rated by their ESRB equivalent to be "approved without age restriction"
Little fun fact. Gonzales means War or Battle in spanish and in context if a Name it means Noble Warrior. So Mario's glitzpit stage name essentially translate to Great Noble Warrior.
Thank you for the info, I didn't know that! I always liked the "GG" alliteration, but Great Gonzales did seem a little random without that context. Noble Warrior is very fitting for our red-capped crusader 💪
@@Loner098 likely not every one, but I'd like to think that at least some thought is put into the choices! I like it when family members in games are given themed names; Majora's Mask has Kafei (Café), Mayor Dotour (Dotour Coffee), and Madame Aroma. I can also appreciate a good punny name, like Ian Foomus, the infamous info mouse in TTYD remake
One thing I like a lot about Chapter 3 is the way it gives us a more direct look at what Crystal Stars can do. The game isn't shy about telling you that Crystal Stars are neutral objects that can be used for good or ill depending on who's handling them, but Chapter 3 is one of the only times in the game where we get to see someone other than Mario utilising this power (have your arguments here about whether or not Doopliss was powered up by his Crystal Star - I believe he was). And what a use it was! Grubba wasn't just sucking the life force out of people, he was eradicating them entirely! Even if you take the angle that the fighters' bodies got kind of "stored" in the Crystal Star, that still meant they were literal disembodied spirits, and also raises the concern that after enough time of Grubba using their power, their bodies would fade away permanently or something like that. With the later context that the Shadow Queen made the Crystal Stars, Chapter 3 is a really quite chilling glimpse into just what these things are capable of.
wow, i really crave to play Paper Mario TTYD, glad Nintendo has made an already good game into an even better game still, which one is better? Super Paper Mario or Paper Mario TTYD Remake?
I would personally vote for TTYD remake. Super Paper Mario is a wonderful game with a surprisingly heartrending narrative, but TTYD tells emotional stories too with an overall great plot, and the gameplay is top-notch imo. I "beat" the game a couple of weeks ago, but I am still messing around / experimenting with the battle mechanics because they're just that fun
3:46 I don't mind this point too much, helps communicate the idea that TTYD isn't so much about good vs. evil as Mario games typically are Terraria has a similar sort of idea, where even the "good" (the Hallow) is still actively out for blood in its own way
“Hallow” is very similar to “hollow.” Whereas the Corruption and the Crimson are two variants on Terraria’s idea of a grotesque and inherent evil, the Hallow is an aggressively hostile place with the facade of a happy fantasy land. While in Terraria’s lore the Hallow is meant to the be world’s way of forcibly bringing balance to nature, I love to interpret it as another hostile force that’s pretending to be purely good. More related to TTYD, I think the fact that Mario, player-chosen dialogue aside, is always willing to help anybody with a problem regardless of their background shows just how kind-hearted he is. He rallies a meek tribe of creatures, brings a mafia family together to discuss their problems, shows kindness to someone who was working with the people trying to stop him just a few chapters ago, and so on. Mario’s just a good guy willing to help anyone.
I'm in the same boat! I would say my favorites are as follows: 3 > 4 > 8 > 6 > 5 > 2 > 7 > 1. Yes, that warp pipe really helped a lot--the added spring in chapter 5 was great too
Also I should mention that according to the reporter on the upstairs balcony, Rawk Hawk spends a lot of time in the bathroom, meaning he's the one always occupying the restroom in the major league
"Not everyone has chapter 3 as their favorite," Me: 'aggresively grabs shotgun' "Who needs to be held responsible? Wh-Who do we need to line up in the-in the backyar-."
I forgot the deeper plot of this chapter when playing the remake, as it had been a while, so I basically went through the whole being suspicious and being surprised at the truth in the end Goes to show that this chapter is written really well
**SPOILERS AHEAD** Finally beat the final boss last night, having never played the GC original (took 3 attempts; turns out having the right badge buildout and stocking up on the right items does make a difference lol), so rather appropriate timing that this appears in my feed today. Chapter 3 is tied with Chapters 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8 for my favourites. In a game filled to the brim with dark elements running contrary to what most would expect from a typical Mario adventure (the Marioverse's answer to the Mafia, missing parents and man-eating dragons, realistic domestic abuse, literal identity theft just to name a few), what Grubba does is imho on par with the Shadow Queen herself in terms of pure evil despite having no association with her (or the X-Nauts) whatsoever. It's also a good illustration (barring Chapter 8) of the Crystal Stars themselves being a netural tool, being used as their present owner sees fit (I also think this applies to Doo_liss and his 'piggyfying' curse). A real unsettling glimpse at what these things are really capable of. Either way, it was beyond cathartic to utterly whup his ass to avenge Prince Mush, King. K, Bandy Andy and the other unnamed missing fighters. As you allude to, he said in a prior cutscene that 5 had gone missing 'this year'. The implications of that line on it's face were bad enough, but it's even worse after his secret is exposed, as it all but spells out that Grubba is half a step removed from being a flat-out serial killer. And we never see any of those other fighters emerge from the star, so who knows if their spirits are still contained in the star like Mush's was or how many of them Grubba claimed before Mario and Co. stopped him. God, this game gets dark af and I love it for that. I can now say that with confidence, having finally played through it for myself.
Me neither, that post chapter 3 dialogue is the best hint, but a lot of players probably don't even see that! They do a good job of hiding a secret like this in plain sight
For my yoshi I asked my mum what colour I should do it then waited to get specifically that colour I waited nearly an hour cause I missed the timing twice
Nice! I just let fate decide which Yoshi I'd get for this playthrough, but I might try for the black one next time. What colour did your mom pick? What's your favorite?
@@AverageAutisticGamer The pink one is pretty cool, it's like a strawberry/watermelon yoshi with the pink, red, & green! That was nice of you to name the character after her
@@ThaneGaming thanks for replying to this (also I kinda feel stupid now not realising why the waitress looked the same as Jolene and never connecting the dots)
@@AverageAutisticGamer I'm with you 😭 if I had seen that dialouge post chapter 3 I probably would've put it together but otherwise it didn't cross my mind lol
I always assumed that Mush was the first champ, got drained, then Rawk Hawk took the vacant belt and went with it. We don't know how long he's had the belt, but long enough to have fans and posters, but short enough that Gonzales is stated somewhere to be the third champ ever
I’ve never bothered with super guard in either version, and although Prince Mush was a suitable challenge, it still only took one try and minimal prep.
I've been interested in PM64 hacks lately, but I haven't played any myself yet! Which of the three would you recommend trying out? I'd like to think that Prince Mush is related to him too, and/or the new Battle Master
@@ThaneGaming master quest Jr would be good to start. Then master quest and dark star should be the last of the 3. I don't know if ttyd 64 is done but that could be good too
He probably didn't get the chance back then, but oh man I love the idea of an exhibition match between the two of them and Mush does his super move right away
Oh, yes, you can do any combination of 1) telling Francesa that you a) are or b) are not going to tell Don Pianta, and then 2) either a) telling him or b) telling him that you can't. Little dialogue changes aside, it works out the same, which is interesting. Imagine if there was a different outcome if you refused (nonstandard Game Over?), or if lying about it and then telling the Don had consequences for later.
For my first playthrough of the remake, I chose all of the "negative" answers whenever possible, so I'd like to do another run where I'm a people pleaser lol. You're right, that would be neat if refusing him led to a game over!
I thought I read that it was actually made very slighter harder to make up for the framerate being 30? I never superguarded in the OG so I don't have a basis for comparison myself... I suppose you could always equip multiple Unsimplifiers to make it more challenging lol
Thane: "I acquired more than one Double Pain badge due to a developer oversight (I'll explain what that is in the comments)" Also Thane: Doesn't do that
I don't think Mush would've automatically been granted the title for nothing, before the current setup I imagine there was probably a tournament to determine who would be the first champ
I will be talking about her being trans, yes--I won't focus on the topic too much but I will treat it delicately. I actually did some research on it even before the remake
Not sure what you mean by "possible," it's very much blatantly confirmed. She even phrases her description of it in the same way that a lot of trans people do, they did their research and made sure to get it right
@@Pearl_Blossom I wasn't sure if it was really confirmed or just heavily hintet at, plus I played ttyd in german so I wasn't sure how much of the text is different in english. I didn't notice anything along the lines of her being trans in the German version so I put the possibly there just tu be sure, I identify as trans myself so I didn't mean it in a bad way
Q) How did I get more Double Pains?
A) The only way to aquire more than one is via a developer oversight; if you pick up a badge dropped by an enemy while your badge inventory is full (200 is the maximum allowed), you can choose to toss any of your other badges.

It’s funny cause chapter 3 is literally everyone’s favorite
Yeah...I guess chapter 3 is more popular than it isn't! I have heard from some people who didn't like it because of the back to back fights though
The Prince Mush fight really felt like a fan made joke fight and I think it honestly sucked because of that. I really think it could have been a cool fight, but it was more like the 64 pro mod bonus master fight.

While I think it's neat, I can't say I blame you for not liking it. I mean I still haven't beaten it, but that's more so because I'm too busy to play.
I would have preferred to fight a harder version of Rawk Hawk. I didn't care for Mush at all.
Learning the Juice Bar Lady and Jolene are the same person makes me realize I would be fooled by Clark Kent being Superman
Same here 😭
For years I have debated whether or not that was actually Jolene, although considering how her kid brother can teleport in the remake I'm guessing maybe she has similar powers just nowhere near as strong. Regardless she's an S-Tier character.
At least Don Pianta didn't release the Chuckster.
That's true! I'm pretty sure there's a reference to the Chuckster in TTYD, the Pianta bouncer outside of the parlor says "You do anythin' funny, I'll toss you like DAT!" which simultaneously gave me a good laugh and sent shivers down my spine remembering that level from Sunshine
That's what would've happened if Francesca and Frankie didn't intervene when Mario refused to give up their location
A fate worse than death: *slow, uncontrollable and uncertain* death

Oh, yes, you can do any combination of 1) telling Francesa that you a) are or b) are not going to tell Don Pianta, and then 2) either a) telling him or b) telling him that you can't. Little dialogue changes aside, it works out the same, which is interesting. Imagine if there was a different outcome if you refused (nonstandard Game Over?), or if lying about it and then telling the Don had consequences for later.
For my first playthrough of the remake, I chose all of the "negative" answers whenever possible, so I'd like to do another run where I'm a people pleaser lol. You're right, that would be neat if refusing him led to a game over!

if only superguard wernt made easier by the framerate being halved
I thought I read that it was actually made very slighter harder to make up for the framerate being 30? I never superguarded in the OG so I don't have a basis for comparison myself...
I suppose you could always equip multiple Unsimplifiers to make it more challenging lol
That makes it easier because you have more time to input the superguard timing

Thane: "I acquired more than one Double Pain badge due to a developer oversight (I'll explain what that is in the comments)"
Also Thane: Doesn't do that
Oops! I meant description lol. Hold on, I'll put it in as a pinned comment now
Okay, it is now a comment, thank you 😅
You do realize that prince mush was the FRIST champion of the gliz pit meaning he didn't have to fight anyone to get the title
I don't think Mush would've automatically been granted the title for nothing, before the current setup I imagine there was probably a tournament to determine who would be the first champ
He probably fought and defeated Koopanator since he's Rank 1 in the Glitz Pit.
when you make the video on the next chapter, will you talk about Vivian being (possible) trans?
I will be talking about her being trans, yes--I won't focus on the topic too much but I will treat it delicately. I actually did some research on it even before the remake
@@ThaneGaming Sounds great, locking forward to the video
Not sure what you mean by "possible," it's very much blatantly confirmed. She even phrases her description of it in the same way that a lot of trans people do, they did their research and made sure to get it right
@@Pearl_Blossom I wasn't sure if it was really confirmed or just heavily hintet at, plus I played ttyd in german so I wasn't sure how much of the text is different in english. I didn't notice anything along the lines of her being trans in the German version so I put the possibly there just tu be sure, I identify as trans myself so I didn't mean it in a bad way
