What I love about handaconda is that its attacks are telegraphed, but it might change its mind if u take a while to decide. If it shows scissors it'll play rock, if it shows rock it'll play paper, and if it shows paper it'll play scissors, and it can switch tells mid choice so u gotta pay attention. That's good boss design right there
I think you got it backwards. At 10:52, for example, the hand shows rock and then plays scissors. Still, I hadnt noticed the gestures were telegraphs. I agree, it's a pretty cool mechanic.
When fighting it I didn't even see that it was hinting about it's choice XD I just played rock paper scissors normally like I didn't know the adversary's choice. It worked in the end.
I like how there are pictures of Bowser from the main games in the background. I guess Paper Bowser remembers meeting his 3d counterpart in Paper Jam and has these pictures to remember him.
@@d.s.3408 I think they're just regular portraits. There's a portrait of a regular Yellow Toad in a Yellow Toad's Manor in Colour Splash. That same portrait is in Toad Town in this game. Plus, both Bowsers hate eachother in PJ. I don't think it's a Paper Jam reference.
6:55 Stoney Sheety Cutty I was completely caught off guard by the Rock Paper Scissors segment. When I freed Olivia, I was completely prepared to go for the fire Vellumental since, you know, paper is flammable. Then it turned into a hand.
Its a truly creepy part when you are walking by seeing severed bodies and outta of nowhere a giant hand leaps out to grab you not to mention you are all alone
Look at the hand position on the boss, see that it changes? You must watch the handaconda's position and get to the circle before he changes. You can also do this when you haven't pressed the 1000 fold arms button
Scissors is the stereotypical “mad doctor” trope you see in literature and animation, he uses the body parts of others and literally Frankensteins together monsters like the paper macho buzzy beetle. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was responsible for making ALL of the paper macho enemies, since he seems to regard them as “toys”
I just wanted to say this Incase anyone was wondering but if you use fire flowers on Handaconda it literally slaps all of the fire balls away (probably is the same with ice flowers but I didn't check that 1), also if you use a hurl hammer on Handaconda it literally catches the hammer like it's nothing, also if you try to put the action space right beside Handaconda it just flicks it away, and lastly I am pretty sure if you try to jump on Handaconda it catches you and tosses you back.
Question, why does it seem to telegraph one thing, then change what it throws to draw and make itself bigger? Is there a way to counter this or will it do that regardless and you can only damage it when it's bigger? Also, is it possible to draw twice? If so, does nothing happen on the second one?
It gets bigger the more you draw I believe the limit of size is 3 And the bigger it is the less damage that will be dealt if you win (edit: and he will deal more damage if you lose with a bigger hand] Best thing to do is not to draw
I'm confused nintendo. First, this has the boss rings. Second, this has the boss music. But it has the normal enemy screen (what I mean is like the screen before the battle) What is this, a boss or a normal enemy?
This boss is actually called Handaconda, the Cutout Soldiers are the humanoid enemies you fight.
Also the miniboss music is 🔥.
All the puns in and outta combat are amazing
No it really isn’t
Yes it is!
"Oh, huh, it's a hand snake thing. Kinda creepy, but-"
_"I'm scared, Mario!"_
"...Yeah, ok, this thing needs to *die."*

We're just gonna gloss over the LITERAL HALLWAY OF DISMEMBERED CORPSES?!?!
Amazing the things you can get away with with the right art style choice.
Lol
It would be significantly more disturbing if it wasn't paper characters.
@@sigmadraconis8207 probably. But the paper characters can allow them to get away with it
So it does connected with thy Legend of Zelda Universe.

@@Dinoman972 oh oof yea I missed that. And yeah! Little touches like that make me love this game so much
We're the kings of Roshambo!
Wouldn’t make sense. If it showed scissors, it would expect the player to use rock, so wouldn’t it want to change its mind to paper?
I shall from this day forward refer to it as “Stoney Sheety Cutty.”
Funniest sheet I've ever seen
Stoney, Sheety, Cutty, Say Shooty!

The don’t starve cross over boss is looking great
Yeah but it isn't going after the light so I guess they took some creative liberties with it
Hissy fist was such an excellent pun on Olivia's part.

This is paper Mario, that won’t work
Then that means the fire Vullmental would instantly kill you
Yeah, okay, that’s true... it’s what I thought at the time, alright? I already said I wasn’t expecting Rock Paper Scissors! ^^;
Toadsty Yeah. What do you think, that this game would have a boss that can one shot you?
@@maxminton7861 ...
*Silently hides a pair of scissors*

Handaconda just FREAKS me out.
For real.Scissors is a sadistic freak through and through for creating abominations like Handaconda and Paper Mistake Buzzy Bettle.
For real real. It's so creepy...
And I like it :)
It's a lot like the Underhands from SPM.
I actually screamed slightly when I saw the hand grab Mario on my playthrough, it's definitely freaky.
Not to mention the Cutout Soliders! Seriously how screwed up in the head IS Olly?!
6:55 really thought she was gonna mention Roshambo from Color Splash
Edit: 7:08 never mind
Nintendo: makes this thing
People who make creepy pastas: It’s showtime.
That boss looks like the one in the final boss of Paper Mario the thoundan year door
Handaconda is probably the closest thing we’ll ever get to a TTYD reference.
To the Shadow Queen type vibe?
Maybe... I see little else that reminds me of Thousand Year Door.
Shadow Queen: I am the creepiest Mario boss
Handacola: I'm about to end this woman's whole career
Actually, the cutout soldiers were the other things. This has its own name, it’s the Handaconda.
Look at the hand position on the boss, see that it changes? You must watch the handaconda's position and get to the circle before he changes. You can also do this when you haven't pressed the 1000 fold arms button
That name is incredibly clever but it also does make you wonder where it came from
It is a monster created by Scissors.
The process is unknown but it's made from the same Paper as the creepy Cut Out Soldiers Mario met before this.
Scissors is the stereotypical “mad doctor” trope you see in literature and animation, he uses the body parts of others and literally Frankensteins together monsters like the paper macho buzzy beetle.

@@psychicjellyfish9466 So he's a Blood Knight AND a Mad Doctor?
Luke C yes and it’s amazing
Wanted to scream at the man for not realizing the hand loosely shows what it’ll throw
6:14 I love how Mario catches Olivia
I think during the rock-paper-scissors phase the boss actually shows what kind of symbol you need to win.
I can't be the only one getting shadow queen vibes from this.
Nope. I got em too.
I'm getting more of a Wallmaster vibe from the LoZ series myself, and kinda the Dead Hand from OoT specifically.
What in the flipping flip flip is a shadow queen?
@@ThatFlawedGuy Play Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and you'll know what the flip flip is and why it's such a big deal.
@@Xnaut314 You mean the game that costs over 200 bucks? Yeah, I love video games but not that much.
13:47
*Does anyone hear something... Familiar?*
64 sound effect.
@@mariobroultimate1808 Not exactly. 64 used that sound, but it wasn't the first game that sound was used.
The first time it was used was in Hotel Mario. Despite how old it is, it seems like it made its way in this game. Somehow.
64 remaster foreshadowing?
13:58 that looks strange when you only look at Olivia and Mario instead of the text box
*NO STOP*
ESRIC1O1 wait that’s illegal- *she is just hugging him,stop being horny*
you are illegal
Yes officer, this comment right here.
This is a very scary Rock Paper Scissors.
What happens if you'd just stand there like an idiot and let it catch you without reaching the door?
Nothing. It just puts you in the battle like normal. Nothing new happens.
@@SerialDesignationR814 Ok, now I'm curious, you left me hanging for 8 months
@@baldimerl2020 I didn't check this video.
Excuse me good sir his name is handaconda
It's called Handaconda
When it grabbed my throwing hammer I knew I was f*cked.
Just some casual family friendly body horror
Ro! Sham! Bo!
Aw poor olivia again 😭
Ro sham bo

WHAT IS THAT THING?!
A black hand.
A sentient hand with a ridiculously long arm
A hand in the form of a anaconda
Handaconda.
It is the only boss with a blue background instead of purple when starting the battle.
Olivia needs help! anyone save her!
My personal headcanon is that this thing is the remains of the Shadow Queen.
this boss is called handaconda
Am I the only one that really rates how the puzzle phase messes up with the music?
My Handaconda don't want none unless you got origami buns, hun!
I might steal this, save for the "origami" part
@@spidey5558 At least I got something you don't, then.
Bruh I went on scissors and I still lost
Can there be a paper mario game without anything terrifying
I used 3 pow blocks. I didnt have anything else work. I expected it to grab me when i used hammers.......
When I saw the hand, I screamed DIE and tried to hit it with a hammer
Why am I reminded of the floor masters from Wind Waker?
Nintendo made a boss about the Roshambo temples in origami king
