She really felt like a true final boss. Love how daunting her array of attacks feel. Really pushes you to the limit and tests how durable your team has become
Considering I stack power/defense plus for mario and party as well as charge stacking, I'd say pretty durable. That combo makes the game a joke, even bonetail
The Shadow Queen is my favorite Mario villain, bar none. She has such a cool design, and the music that plays during the first and third phases of the final battle with her are absolute bangers. They should definitely bring the Shadow Queen back in a future Mario game.
When Nintendo wants to, they can make bosses/stories like no one would expect. Think you could do videos like this one on the M&L big villains? I feel it would work great, especially for Fawful.
I stopped playing TTYD for 2 months because i couldnt beat her, came back and dominated, she really gets in ya head and makes you feel you cant beat her, she was the greatest villain of the paper Mario saga.....even over Demento
@@tripletflamesrainbowstarpeopletrue, but it kinda depends on how you play. My first time, I tried to avoid the enemies as much as possible and was completely under leveled in ALL the fights. It was my next run with this game that I decided to fight some enemies so I can level up. Ps: I was 6 at the time.
Although I had never played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, I am still creeped out by the Shadow Queen. She has to be one of the most disturbing characters from the Mario franchise, even if ranking by design alone. But I still congratulate the character designer for this, because the Shadow Queen is meant to be this unnerving demon of pure darkness and malice.
I’m curious what the shadow queen’s voice is if she would have a voice actor. Who knows maybe she can come back for the inevitable super Mario Bros movie 2
Peach is not weak this shows it she has powers in super princess peach she has fire powers water powers healing powers and flying powers and this shows how powerful she could get
Yes and she has impeccable defensive capabilities in Super Paper Mario. Like if she protects herself with her parasol, absolutely nothing in the game can damage her and it works better than a regular shield in Super Smash Bros. I mean seriously, explosions do absolutely nothing to her when she protects herself with the parasol, and she can use it for an unlimited time which basically gives her unlimited invincibility for an unlimited amount of time!
The shadow queen is without a doubt one of if not the most powerful foes Mario has ever had to face. I like to go on about Mario being fearless, but the shadow queen actually makes Mario face. The one thing he might be afraid of having to fight the princess.
Probably my favorite main antagonist of any Mario game. Probably because despite her extremely limited screen time she is still directly and even indirectly responsible for almost if not all the events in TTYD effectively making her the main villain of the entire game even surpassing Grodus and even Beldam. Grubba and Cortez getting the Crystal Stars? She created those. The X-Nauts? Pawns to Beldam who's her most loyal follower. Doopliss? Again recruited by Beldam and again even before that he got a Crystal Star. She created the Crystal Stars. She catalyzed the events of the game by creating them and all the different villains wanting them for their own different motives which leads to the chaos Mario and his friends have to go through. And the thing is the Shadow Queen would probably be perfectly content with this. Grodus is a pawn to the Shadow Queen. Cortez may not have worked with her but he still got a Crystal Star which led to the Koopa being cursed by him. The tails? Her pets. Shadow Sirens? They work for her and manipulated Grodus and the X-Nauts who are the primary enemies in the game. It all is traced back to the Shadow Queen. The real villain of the entire game. It's clever how what initially seems to be a series of branching story arcs of each chapter all cleverly come together in an overarching narrative if one reads between the lines. It makes that buildup when the big bad finally does make her appearance as the real final boss all the more impactful. And rightfully so. She's fittingly one of the hardest if not the hardest boss in the game to defeat. The only boss that comes close is an optional one in the Pit which again the Shadow Queen created and that boss is one of her pets. You don't need to meet the Shadow Queen to know of all the effects and chaos she has caused to the world and once you beat the game and you know all the lore behind her yes she's a very effective villain in that regard. But when she finally makes her appearance she sets the stage to mega levels of dark both literally and figuratively. She one shots Grodus reducing him to just his cybernetic brain, possesses Peach using her body as a mere puppet then even when she leaves Peach's body her ghostly tail wraps around her form, just her mere presence darkens the world. And unlike any other villain in the game who had some humoristic quirk (Even Grodus can be funny at times with his coughing fits and how he carries around throat pills for himself) the Shadow Queen has none of that. She's a cruel, cold, and calculating tyrant who just wants to see the world drown in eternal darkness and it's inhabitants condemned to eternal suffering. She even goes so far as to just drain souls from the audience and consume them. She has no remorse when she does so. You see the audience drop dead as she does so. Even when her weakness of the Crystal Stars is used by Mario against her fighting her proves to be a struggle for our heroic plumber as she has such devastating and powerful spells at her disposal that it makes for one heck of a climatic battle. It makes her being sealed by Mario once more this time for good in that weakened state all the more satisfying. The build up, the pay off. It all is brilliant.
The only thing that I got spoiled on in ttyd. I'm playing the remake mostly blind, and I am so hyped to finally come face to face with her when I reach the end.

I mean seriously, explosions do absolutely nothing to her when she protects herself with the parasol, and she can use it for an unlimited time which basically gives her unlimited invincibility for an unlimited amount of time! Also her rage fire power literally incinerates everyone and gives her invincibility, and when she hits you with a bob-omb or a stitch-face in smash, which she can literally pull out of nowhere, it does massive damage and knockback, and her attacks and combos come out incredibly fast in Smash. Also she single-handedly defeated every boss including Bowser in Super Princess Peach and is considered top-tier in Smash Ultimate and Melee. That being said, I am better at Captain Falcon, Zelda, Sora & Link than Peach & Daisy in Smash Ultimate even though Samsora is an OP Peach player in Smash that became the champion of many Smash tournaments. If you win a battle against Samsora’s Peach and become the champion of the tournament that Samsora is in with a character that isn’t Peach, come back to me and prove it and then I will understand why you say Peach is weak, otherwise what you say has no evidence to back it up and I will still consider Peach strong
Evil Peach should not have won because she wanted to destroy the entire universe with Paper Mario, Paper Peach, Paper Luigi & Paper Bowser. If she were real in this universe she would have tried to destroy this entire universe including you, and you would not have liked being killed by her. I honestly don’t think Shadow Queen deserved to commit such an unthinkable crime and I am glad that Mario stopped her from destroying the entire Paper Universe because if the game was written that she would destroy the entire paper universe no matter what happens, Paper Mario, Paper Peach, Paper Luigi & Paper Bowser would cease to exist and you would no longer get to play any more new paper mario games. Regular Peach saved Mario, Luigi, Yoshi & Toad, saved the entire universe from Dimentio, Tabuu, and the list goes on and on. Hotness to me is marked by how good and kind a person is so therefore regular Peach is hot because she is kind and Shadow Queen Peach is not hot because she killed Grotus, is evil, and wanted to kill everyone by destroying the universe. She is literally worse than Thanos. Thanos at least spared half of the human population, but Shadow Queen Peach wanted to destroy the entire universe, including every living being in existence, with nobody spared, everyone dead. If you think that a psychopathic murderer is hot then you have a unique taste
@@tripletflamesrainbowstarpeople Bruh i was just saying that Shadow Queen Peach was better because I like her more I don’t need you to make an essay on peach’s abilities I know she’s not weak, she has insane healing capabilities in Mario rpg, can use her emotions to beat everyone is super princess peach and somehow can just use love magic or something like that in bowser’s inside story.
True but we dont know if the paper world is a reflection on the actual mario world all we know is the paper world is in a book or a series of books maybe those stories actually happened to the REAL characters and peach luigi or mario wrote the story's down
I honestly think the paper world was created by someone,and these storybooks were like probbably made quite some time ago, sooo… just saying… this isn’t necessarily a real life event in the mushroom kingdom, it’s just a story
If you wanna be all "erm actually..." about it, the Mario series technically doesn't have an officially confirmed canon. There is no "actual" Peach, every game has its own iteration of her and all of them are equally "real"
The fact that you wanted her to destroy the entire universe including all living beings makes it sound like you are evil yourself. If she were real in this universe and you truly wanted her to win then she would have killed you along with every single living being in the entire universe
She really felt like a true final boss. Love how daunting her array of attacks feel. Really pushes you to the limit and tests how durable your team has become

The Shadow queen is one of the most creepy Mario villains
In my opinion, willem dafoe green goblin takes the cake of being really creepy and nightmare inducing.
I think olly is kinda creepy too.
Also one of the hottest villains and the best peach ever!
Indeed
@@voltron77yeah
The mere thought that peach, a light-hearted character can be a deranged witch queen is absolutely terrifying.
The Shadow Queen is my favorite Mario villain, bar none. She has such a cool design, and the music that plays during the first and third phases of the final battle with her are absolute bangers. They should definitely bring the Shadow Queen back in a future Mario game.

Yes. She is much harder to defeat than Dimentio

Wishing they bring back the chain chomp for Bayonetta and attach to the shadow queen with evil peach costume 💜
the shadow queen, honestly, i'm extreamly sad we won't get to see more about her,, aside from the remake
This game is timeless
Although I had never played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, I am still creeped out by the Shadow Queen. She has to be one of the most disturbing characters from the Mario franchise, even if ranking by design alone. But I still congratulate the character designer for this, because the Shadow Queen is meant to be this unnerving demon of pure darkness and malice.
She is definitely disturbing because she killed Rodus and wanted to eradicate all life as we know it
I’m curious what the shadow queen’s voice is if she would have a voice actor. Who knows maybe she can come back for the inevitable super Mario Bros movie 2
Bow down 👸🏿🫰🏿✨

he deserves more subs his content is amazing
I used to be the hardest simp for Shadow Queen Peach when I was younger.
I am so glad Mario stopped Shadow Queen Peach from eradicating all life as we know it

I KNEW MY SOUL HC HAD A REASON TO EXIST!
Does that mean… Shadow Queen Peach is the queen of shadows and peaches?!?
The only thing that I got spoiled on in ttyd. I'm playing the remake mostly blind, and I am so hyped to finally come face to face with her when I reach the end.

Normal peach is boring, weak and not hot. Evil peach is better in every possible way so she should have won and I would have loved it.

@@ArthurAragao-ev6ed Yeah
… this is the paper peach we are talking about, not the actual peach. So it should be paper peach once became an ink demon

I’ll say it EVIL PEACH HOTTEST PEACH
Regular Peach is hottest because Shadow Queen Peach would kill you but regular Peach would save your sorry a$$
Evil peach is the hottest and coolest villain she should have won and I’m sad
The fact that you wanted her to destroy the entire universe including all living beings makes it sound like you are evil yourself. If she were real in this universe and you truly wanted her to win then she would have killed you along with every single living being in the entire universe
