@@absolutelydegenerate1900 It’s a whole thing with the story of Super paper Mario -> Sticker star, and there’s varying opinions on whether this was a simple unenforced guideline or a strict rule from higher up, but essentially: during the development of sticker star, but supposedly Kensuke Tenabe, producer of sticker star, was told not to make any original characters for the paper Mario series going forward, along with other stuff I can’t remember at the moment.
I'm convinced that they can still make original characters, they just have to center on the whole paper theme. I was shocked that Olly was actually an original villain. It still stings that it can't go back to how it was before.
I love Dimentio, I really do, but his popularity really takes away from the other three of Count Bleck’s crew. Mimi, O’Chunks, and Nastasia are all great characters who don’t get much focus in the fanbase since Dimentio is so… well, Dimentio.
Mimi was always my favorite for traumatizing my child brain in the final part of Merlee’s Mansion, but you’re right in saying all of Bleck’s minions are amazing and it hurts me so much we haven’t seen any of them acknowledged or referenced ever. Pretty sure O’Chunks and DK would become fast pals.
If I remember, Dimentio wanted to destroy the world and create a new one where he’s basically the god of it. A contrast to Bleck who just wanted everything to be gone.
Dimentio becomes even more evil, as not only is it implied that Dimentio WROTE the Dark Prognosticus, Dimentio also decided in their dying moments, to destroy everything, permanently. The difference here, however, is while Bleck wanted everything to be gone out of pure grief, Dimentio wanted everything gone out of pure *spite.*
You should do a video on Tippi and Tiptron. There's plenty of existential nightmares to go over there, especially with Tiptron. I mean, she's fully aware that she isn't the real Tippi, but it's actually a little more nightmarish than that. She isn't just a robotic replacement for a young woman who died at the machinations of the father of another main character, she's a robotic replacement for the degraded physical form of of that tragic young woman. She's a copy of a copy and she knows it, and that sounds like a pretty decent existential crisis right there.
I would love to see that video! I definitely relied on Tiptron for comfort as a Tippi stand-in despite us both knowing it wasn't the same relationship haha. (Yes the ending of SPM did make me cry a bit-)
@@fIorapetals IT'S SO FUCKED, the fact that the player themselves as well as the characters know that Tiptron is just a replacement and that Tippi is never coming back is so incredibly messed up and beautiful and thinking about it makes my heart ache and it's great.

He was going to erase all universes and recreate them in his own image. When he was defeated by the heroes, he tried to destroy the entire universe un a final act of spite.
fun fact about super dimentio: even though hes the final boss of the game(story wise) he doesn't have the MOST HP, shadoo from the flopside pit of 100 trials has that honor with 400 hp while super dimentio only has 250
ALSO, super dimentio doesn't have a confirmed gender, so call the big fella "it", which it is called on its catch card.(hehehe, I did my research on this too btw, I LOVE THIS GAME!!!)
Something that's worth mentioning. The light prognosticus isnt a real prophecy. The dark book is the one true fate the world has decided, the light is a plan someone made to counter that fate. The heroes banning together to defeat dimentio is the defiance of fate.
Dimentio is an awesome villain and very memorable. I'm working on a Minecraft roleplay and I used Dimentio as one of the villains, but my version is not only a traitor, but also the leader of an evil cult that worships an ancient demon. I went all out with Dimentio backstory.
This darn jester-magician-jerk comes in and out of my brain whenever he pleases. I _wish_ I could forget about him, but he thoroughly charmed my stupid little 11-year-old self and proceeded to break my heart with his betrayal. Watching a playthrough again more recently, obvious twist or not, the scene towards the end where he taunts Bleck about a "Blumiere" is just _perfection._ Always cool to see people talking about my favorite Mario game!
Super Paper Mario might not be the best Paper Mario game to some, but for me it will always remain my favorite, and Dimentio is exactly one of those reasons why. Him and Mr. L, whoever that guy might be.
He would be the perfect villain for a movie. Just give the idea that the plants were controlling him then have it revealed he controlled the plants and boom... Perfect story. 😍
Imagine if we got a couple villains for the 2nd Mario movie like Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings, because they want to free Bowser from his cage, (of course they fail in their attempt) as well as Wario & Waluigi being side villains, and we also get to see Yoshi and Daisy during the movie as well. Also imagine for the 3rd Mario movie we get Dimentio as the villain, where Bowser is finally released from that tiny cage in Peach’s Castle after learning his lesson from being trapped for so long and decides to join Mario, Peach and Tippi after they tell Bowser that Dimentio or maybe Count Bleck kidnapped all of Bowsers children (therefore giving Bowser a higher incentive to join them) the film could give the impression that Count Bleck is the main villain but Dimentio is the real villain, and I imagine Luigi would’ve also been kidnapped but turned into Mr. L, also Count Blecks castle would be somewhere in outer space where we get to see Rosalina who assists Mario, Peach, Tippi & Bowser in finding Count Blecks castle. Side note: Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy were both released in 2007 which is a cool coincidence. Also Donkey Kong would go on to have his own spinoff movie where we get to see all of the Kongs, Of course King K. Rool and the Kremlings would be the villains. How cool would all of that be if that’s what we ended up getting for the future Mario movies from Illumination and Nintendo?
@Cranzon-qw9od What part of my comment sounds terrible to you? Also keep in mind that it doesn’t represent what would happen in the entirety of these hypothetical movies, just a few key parts of them.
I was expecting the Kirby villain comparison, and I wasn’t disappointed. Great work here. Must be a treat to just have 1 singular plot-heavy game to go over rather than jumping from game to game, trying to piece together personality traits from a handful of voice lines or gameplay mechanics. As a big fan of King K. Rool, who is probably the poster child for beloved and neglected Nintendo villains, I feel a great swell of pity for the Dimentio folks, even as someone who prefers Fawful. Dimentio‘s own issues are moreso the fact that he’s in Super Paper Mario. What I mean is that he has no 3D model, his bosses are pretty easy, his role of the final boss is extremely easy compared to the 2 final bosses before it, and because of how Nintendo (Read: Kensuke Tanabe, the developer in charge of the newer PM trilogy) just ignores his singular appearance save for Smash Bros. cameos. SPM’s nature as a very self-contained story with extremely divisive and different gameplay didn’t exactly make it easy for him to come back in another title. To add a silver lining, one can interpret this as Dimentio’s out-of-universe legacy not being tarnished by some phoned-in nostalgia grab “comeback” where he isn’t as engaging or fun. Lots of other long-running franchises try and bring back a fan favorite character and forget what made them good.! Because Mario+Luigi stuck to it’s formula until the bitter end, Fawful has 3 entire Mario stories where he’s a major player, and 2 MORE stories where he makes a notable appearance.
I have to say this was my first Mario game and I loved it. It has unique and interesting characters and gameplay. Dementio is a underrated Mario villain that should return. But anyways this video was good I want to see more content on this game explaining other characters like Mr. L or Count Bleck.
Dimentio was the perfect twist true villain. If you don't pay too much attention the first playthrough, you're surprised to find out that Dimentio is the real final boss. Heck, I was paying attention and was still surprised.
Super Paper Mario and Bowser’s Inside Story are my top 2 mario games, and I’m just now realizing how much more popular they are/were and I’m so happy about it. Also John Mulaney (that’s how you spell his name, right?) should definitely voice Dimentio in the Paper Mario movie
Just been binging a bunch of the FNAF videos and just got sideswiped by this upload, interested on seeing the analysis (and not having to despair over missed opportunities for once)
Spoilers for SPM I always remember how this is the game that shows that when Mario dies, he's going to hell. And that Dimentio is the rare kind of villain who will skip a fight and just kill the hero.
John Mulaney as Dimentio would be literally perfect wat... also i'm super happy to see someone talk about him again!! I was so obsessed with Dimentio when I was younger :] thank you
Tbh this game is one that has a special place in my heart because my parents and I played through the whole thing as a family (I was like probably 9-10) before they divorced. So, I mean, lots of happy memories! I recently replayed it twice in a row, and honestly it still holds up - such a great story. I'm 100% team "Bring Dimentio back to the franchise"
I love the change of pace with a Mario analysis video. I would be happy to see this become part of your usual content in the future whenever that happens
Yo! I never thought you'd do a video about a Mario character! Dimentio is one of my favorite Mario villains, he didn't have a motive for wanting a perfect world but him being a master manipulater that played both sides for his own gain was so cool. I wish they brought Mario villains back more often, he and the Shadow Queen are my favorites. I'd love it if you'd talk about some Resident Evil characters like Wesker, the Ashfords or Lady Dimitrescu if you're interested.
Whoa whoa.. Mario and Luigi Dream team bros was still a super good game with arguably the BEST soundtrack. The plot twist and story is absolutely amazing.. It's an underdog story. Luigi and Bowser are the underdogs.. Or Antasma who failed in the end. The fact that bowser was so paranoid of people betraying him that he betrayed the one and only villian who TRULY wanted to be Bowser's friend is just amazing. Antasma seems like a guy that is a strategist like Fawful but also has a touch Dimentio.. He also wanted the Dream Stone to make his biggest wish come true.. To this day we don't know what this wish is. Maybe to bring back his people.. Because he is the king of bat's but there are no other bat's like him. He doesn't care about the cool names or shiny entrances like Bowser.. He concentrates straight on the plan.
I just wanted to say that I love your videos. See, I’m not in the Mario fandom and don’t really plan on getting into it, but this video right here made me think about at least getting into the Paper Mario fandom because of how much I love this character already. Thank you for talking about this character!! ^^
wth! We're getting a Paper Mario video ;-;! TY! TY! I hope we can get some more in the future! Would love to see a Sticker Star rewrite in the same idea as your Twisted Ones remake
His tragic backstory is that his parents were homophobic, and he was a closted gay who has a thing for mustaches. All of this caused deep psychological problems with his self worth which presented itself in behavior which could be viewed as insane, so when he saw Mario and Luigi he got angry at himself which combined with his psychological issues, caused him to snap and engage in radical and manipulative behavior. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk. (Oh and by the way I love that you're branching out of fnaf content, this video was really entertaining!)
Bruh smh Dimentio is evil for no other reason than to serve the pixel queen just like people who are evil for no reason in real life and both have some similarities like having a god complex
A great video! I'm a sucker for Dimentio content as such it shouldn't come as a surprise i'd immediately latch myself onto any new, ripe content surrounding the self entitled jester.
I really like this video! It's nice to see you cover other video games every now and then. :) Yes, Dimentio is one of the most interesting Paper Mario villains in the Paper Mario series. I would love to see more Super Mario character analysis. Or any other video games. It's completely up to you.
I’m rooting for more videos like this outside of just the usual FNaF/Mascot Horror videos. I’ve seen time and time again creators get discouraged and disappear because their audiences didn’t approve of them branching out.
What's so funny about Dimentio is that what you say is so true. He is actually one of my favorite villain characters in super paper Mario (even though I don't like super paper Mario that much) Even though I barely remember much about him until I watched your video. He was definitely one of the few casts in the game I remember besides Mimi and count blec. It's pretty funny 😂
Very nice breakdown of the character! You managed to bring light to Dimentio in a neat way, and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Here’s hoping the Almighty Algorithm looks favorably upon this video and recommends it to as many people as possible despite the change from your usual content! Have a great day^^!
Man, you really fired up my desire to dive into the Paper Mario series again. You make a good argument about the failure of the game marking it for the “not porting to switch” section of Wii games. What’s unfortunate is that it is one of the most story rich Paper Mario games and what a lot of people hail as their favorite outing as the titular paper plumber. I’ve honestly been wanting to start a RUclips channel of my own for the longest and the first video I wanted to do was a huge critique and deep dive of Paper Mario: Color Splash, a game I have very mixed feelings on. Perhaps I will return to that script of mine since the summer has just arrived. Thank you for making this and experimenting with the new content. Looking forward to all future projects of yours.
I saw your Video, absolutely loved it. Huge Dimentio Fan myself and glad to see a huge video detailing about Dimentio :) PS: I heard you call Dimentio "Dimmy" as a Nickname
That last One ”Agreed to disagreed.” Is so funny for somereason (with that voice) and it just so something dimentio would say if someone disagreed for his ideas
Love me some Super Paper Mario! Glad to see some coverage on it. I still think he kills everyone at 12:52 , it's just that death or "game over" works a bit differently in this universe
Super Paper Mario and all of its characters will forever have a place in my heart. Its probably my favourite game if i was forced to pick one. This game is so unique in every way from the gameplay mechanics to the story and I love everything about it.
Ah, Dimentio one of the faces of the “chaos clown” archetype with Kefka and Marx before him and Jevil after (also the Joker but he only had cosmic powers that one time) it’s a kind a of character people (especially in this age) like to latch onto. Seeing a silly looking dude with great lines, chucking around reality warping powers, and a sick boss theme is Certainly memorable. And I would agree that he isn’t the most evil since besides Count Bleck there’s the Shroobs from Partners in Time. Sure they aren’t going to delete or rewrite the multiverse (before movies thought it was cool) but they do some pretty sick things while conquering the mushroom kingdom. Like tying up Toads to tree to drain the live force out of them, and we actually SEE it.
No, i think using everyone as pawns and betraying them just to gain ultimate power and reshape all of reality to his liking to where he alone, is God is more evil. Plus, he did say he was gonna choke the life out of Black once he was done humiliating and torturing the Heroes of the prophecy.
My brother played this game A LOT when we were younger, but at that point I was still a bad reader so I couldn’t understand the story that well. I did always love the art and designs though, and Dimentio always stood out to me, and is a character design I think about a lot For the past few years, it also seems like the popularity of jester characters and designs skyrocketed on the internet, which made me see more of this guy again. I’m happy he’s such a popular character, and I’m glad my brother played this game so much
The power of the bardolic fool is immeasurable. The appearance of comedic Relief yet the source of revelation and reason. No one believes the jester actual listens anything said around it, but is fully ware of such goings ane has its own agenda.
Make sure John Mulaney can do a Fenneko laugh and I’m sold on him voicing Dimentio 👌 I recently saw a comment saying that Dimentio actually secretly won and is the direct reason all the _Paper Mario_ games after _Super_ have been gutted of the charm and originality that made the first two special; as well as the direct reason they are now about literal arts and crafts instead of just having a storybook aesthetic. Let’s face it, it does kinda seem like something he’d do 🎭
This video made my day! Super Paper Mario is my favorite Paper Mario game and Dimentio is one of if not my favorite villains of all time. Glad to see this game and it’s amazing cast of characters hasn’t been lost to time!
Bro I love Dimentio! And I love Super Paper Mario as a whole. I grew up with it, and so many other Mario (and non-Mario) games on the Wii, and it helped to add to the kinda nostalgic feel I have towards times back then that I bet a lot of you guys have too. Also I want to thank you for making this video and not letting this treasure die off. +1 Sub! Namasté and God bless (And I am on board 100% to have him and some others in another Mario movie)
So excited to see you covering non-FNAF characters, especially a fan favorite like Dimentio. I agree that this is probably the last we'll see of him, but I feel like it's better to have him contained to one excellent experience, rather than brought back and reshod in progressively more mediocre games.
Despite me having no prior experience or in depth knowledge in Mario or any likewise game series Dementio does seem like a really interesting villain, almost like Starscream from Transformers, namely his Transformers: Animated counterpart, where he's still a scheming lieutenant, yet a formidable threat on his own. I personally think Tom Kenny would make a good Voice Actor for Dementio(he actually voiced TF Animated Starscream, and probably could carry over the performance for the most part).
The mario rpg series has some really good and likeable villains, you should definitely check out bowsers inside story. The villains in that game, the Dark Star, and Fawful are cool and likeable characters
I didn’t know how much I needed a movie featuring Dimentio voiced by John Mulaney until this video. I both love and hate you for this, for it will be stuck in my mind indefinitely. And so I will never recover, like a high schooler having tripped on their shoe lace in the middle of the hall… Anyways-Ciao!
I swear in almost every series (show or game) (especially if it has darker themes underneath) there’s a goofy jester themed character who tends to be evil and is EXTREMELY powerful (take jevil from deltarune, spinel from su, etc etc)
Super Paper Mario is really the end of an era for the Paper Mario series, like, I am seriously convinced that Post-Sticker star is an alternate reality (with worse writing) that's a lot more paper-y than story book-y. It's so sad how PM is nowadays, I wish we could have the fun RPG gameplay back with amazing stories likes TTYD or SPM had, one of my favorite things about SP is how you lose Tippi and need to buy her replacement who has a constant existential crisis because they know they're a replacement that isn't on par with the real one and it brings them so much dispair. I will never understand why we are not able to have fun non-gimmicky gameplay (that's not either completely skippable and with no point to it or capable of getting you soft-locked) and good stories anymore, not being able to create original character sucks so hard as well. Being a PM fan sure bring a lot of heartache, I guess that's why being dissapointed with FNAF's modern story isn't as hurtful anymore
Love the new content! ❤ I remember when this channel was only fnaf fan games with no commentary and then theory on googles voice. And seeing the evolution of the content and de shear quality makes me happy. Keep it up and dond be afraid of making what YOU want, and not sticking only with fnaf!
This happened to me. Luckily, there are wii emulators (for pc)! I got to play this game again. If you want advice, you should check out some emulators 😊
I think the fact that all of these characters appear in just one game only makes SPM feel more special. The whole story and setup feels like something Nintendo would never in a million years do with Mario. Yet it exists and it's so emotional and deep.
So if you talk to Carson enough he says that Dimentio might have a relationship with the Dark Prognosticus. Implying that it was actually HIM that wrote it in the first place. And since he was the one who wanted to join bleck, he knew about his ideas and further manipulated him. And if he did write it, that means he was planning on resetting all world to make his own from the word “go”. And Dimentio has also shown just how careless he is of others. By the end of the game he does not give a shit about anyone. Natasia, Count Bleck himself, the 4 heroes, hell he gladly possessed o’chunks and made him fight our heroes. Dimentio, while not my favorite mario villain, is undoubtedly the most diabolical and evil threat the red plumber has ever encountered. And as one final desperation to make SURE the heroes die even though the void still exists, he kamikazes himself, killing him in the process. Which ends up failing and freeing Luigi, but it shows just how desperate he was. And how he was so close to actually winning. I also love how at first it seems like Dimentio may be a villain that’s actually good. But very quickly you get confused because he keeps contradicting that idea. And in 8-3 you find out that he is a manipulative piece of shit who doesn’t wanna defeat Count Bleck to save all worlds. He wants to defeat him so he can do his goal instead. And he was willing to kill anybody who dares get in his way. And bonus points for being the only mario villain to literally FUCKING KILL MARIO, PEACH, BOWSER, AND LUIGI!
Yeeeeeeee a video on one of my fave games ever ^^ it's one of the only mario games I've ever played and the story really got me in the feels. I've got a lot of nostalgia for it, but Dimentio is a character i never paid much attention to so I'm looking forward to this vid >:3
Honestly, a super paper Mario-type movie could work, since the first Mario movie did rlly well, it’d be cool to have another good story to base the movie off of and introduce more characters.
great video! i'm always down for some super paper mario analysis :D (also, john mulaney's voice fits dimentio better than i expected-- that's a mario movie sequel i'd definitely watch.)
Its a crime this video isnt picking up the traction it deserves, I hope you keep trying to branch out, it would be a shame to get pigeonholed to a single franchise fandom.

The fact that peach fell in near heaven one😂😂
FINALLY someone mentioned the Pixl Queen. Most people who play the game don't even know the lore of it.
What makes Dimentio a perfect villain is that he is the antithesis to what this game is all about: love
Dimentio is seen emotionally manipulating left and right - to him, love is just something to be abused for personal gain
(after overhearing Nastasia obviously having feelings for Blumiere, no doubt he specifically targets Blumiere instead of Nastasia because he knew she would throw herself into the attack and make her dangerous mind-control ability a non-issue)
*The only thing **_Dimentio_** loves is **_himself._*
He is a cutout psychopath the way he is remorseless, manipulative, charming, dual-faced and without empathy - he only wants to see himself rule the world - truly the best antagonist to a game all about love and understanding.

Super Paper Mario might not be the best Paper Mario game to some, but for me it will always remain my favorite, and Dimentio is exactly one of those reasons why. Him and Mr. L, whoever that guy might be.
Gameplay wise it might def not be the best PM but the story is unarguably the best PM or Mario story in general EVER
Yeah, some of my friends think he's luigi, but they're clearly different
hahahah Dimentio getting the game censored is funny as anything. he really was a jester!
He would be the perfect villain for a movie. Just give the idea that the plants were controlling him then have it revealed he controlled the plants and boom... Perfect story. 😍
Imagine if we got a couple villains for the 2nd Mario movie like Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings, because they want to free Bowser from his cage, (of course they fail in their attempt) as well as Wario & Waluigi being side villains, and we also get to see Yoshi and Daisy during the movie as well.
Also imagine for the 3rd Mario movie we get Dimentio as the villain, where Bowser is finally released from that tiny cage in Peach’s Castle after learning his lesson from being trapped for so long and decides to join Mario, Peach and Tippi after they tell Bowser that Dimentio or maybe Count Bleck kidnapped all of Bowsers children (therefore giving Bowser a higher incentive to join them) the film could give the impression that Count Bleck is the main villain but Dimentio is the real villain, and I imagine Luigi would’ve also been kidnapped but turned into Mr. L, also Count Blecks castle would be somewhere in outer space where we get to see Rosalina who assists Mario, Peach, Tippi & Bowser in finding Count Blecks castle.
Side note: Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy were both released in 2007 which is a cool coincidence.
Also Donkey Kong would go on to have his own spinoff movie where we get to see all of the Kongs, Of course King K. Rool and the Kremlings would be the villains.
How cool would all of that be if that’s what we ended up getting for the future Mario movies from Illumination and Nintendo?
@@Azureblue25dimentio as a villain for the mario movie 2 would be so good
@Cranzon-qw9od What part of my comment sounds terrible to you? Also keep in mind that it doesn’t represent what would happen in the entirety of these hypothetical movies, just a few key parts of them.
I was expecting the Kirby villain comparison, and I wasn’t disappointed. Great work here. Must be a treat to just have 1 singular plot-heavy game to go over rather than jumping from game to game, trying to piece together personality traits from a handful of voice lines or gameplay mechanics.
As a big fan of King K. Rool, who is probably the poster child for beloved and neglected Nintendo villains, I feel a great swell of pity for the Dimentio folks, even as someone who prefers Fawful.
Dimentio‘s own issues are moreso the fact that he’s in Super Paper Mario. What I mean is that he has no 3D model, his bosses are pretty easy, his role of the final boss is extremely easy compared to the 2 final bosses before it, and because of how Nintendo (Read: Kensuke Tanabe, the developer in charge of the newer PM trilogy) just ignores his singular appearance save for Smash Bros. cameos. SPM’s nature as a very self-contained story with extremely divisive and different gameplay didn’t exactly make it easy for him to come back in another title. To add a silver lining, one can interpret this as Dimentio’s out-of-universe legacy not being tarnished by some phoned-in nostalgia grab “comeback” where he isn’t as engaging or fun. Lots of other long-running franchises try and bring back a fan favorite character and forget what made them good.!
Because Mario+Luigi stuck to it’s formula until the bitter end, Fawful has 3 entire Mario stories where he’s a major player, and 2 MORE stories where he makes a notable appearance.
I have to say this was my first Mario game and I loved it. It has unique and interesting characters and gameplay. Dementio is a underrated Mario villain that should return. But anyways this video was good I want to see more content on this game explaining other characters like Mr. L or Count Bleck.
I really gotta say though, John Mulaney as Dementio is absolute gold! I'd definitely be sold if Nintendo SOMEHOW wrote him into a movie.
Dimentio was the perfect twist true villain. If you don't pay too much attention the first playthrough, you're surprised to find out that Dimentio is the real final boss. Heck, I was paying attention and was still surprised.
Gotta admit, I had NO IDEA who this clown was until now. Also, the John Mulaney part legit had me dying XD
Super Paper Mario and Bowser’s Inside Story are my top 2 mario games, and I’m just now realizing how much more popular they are/were and I’m so happy about it. Also John Mulaney (that’s how you spell his name, right?) should definitely voice Dimentio in the Paper Mario movie
Nightguardjohnny was here??
Screw the Cult of Glitchtrap, the Cult of Dimentio is where it’s at!
I’m a proud member of it
DIMENTIO CULT
@@Jessica_Schweser church if dimentio
dimentio may be cool but nothing can beat a villen that ALLWAYS COMES BACK!
all hail dimentio
Dementio is perhaps the greatest Mario villain of all time
Dimentio was always such an interesting little guy. Great analysis video!
Just been binging a bunch of the FNAF videos and just got sideswiped by this upload, interested on seeing the analysis (and not having to despair over missed opportunities for once)
I am perturbed by the pronounciation of Dimentio
I call him Dimmy for short.
Spoilers for SPM
I always remember how this is the game that shows that when Mario dies, he's going to hell. And that Dimentio is the rare kind of villain who will skip a fight and just kill the hero.
also,peach is the only one that goes to heaven
In the 60 something years the Mario franchise existed, Dimentio was the only villain who canonically killed Mario. Let that sink in.
John Mulaney as Dimentio would be literally perfect wat... also i'm super happy to see someone talk about him again!! I was so obsessed with Dimentio when I was younger :] thank you
Tbh this game is one that has a special place in my heart because my parents and I played through the whole thing as a family (I was like probably 9-10) before they divorced.
So, I mean, lots of happy memories!
I recently replayed it twice in a row, and honestly it still holds up - such a great story. I'm 100% team "Bring Dimentio back to the franchise"
I love the change of pace with a Mario analysis video. I would be happy to see this become part of your usual content in the future whenever that happens
I’m part of the small group of people who acknowledge Dimentio’s existence
Me too
Me three
Me four
One of my favorite RUclipsrs talking about one of my favorite games? Hell yeah! This was a nice surprise to find in my feed!
Yo! I never thought you'd do a video about a Mario character!
Dimentio is one of my favorite Mario villains, he didn't have a motive for wanting a perfect world but him being a master manipulater that played both sides for his own gain was so cool.
I wish they brought Mario villains back more often, he and the Shadow Queen are my favorites.
I'd love it if you'd talk about some Resident Evil characters like Wesker, the Ashfords or Lady Dimitrescu if you're interested.
Whoa whoa.. Mario and Luigi Dream team bros was still a super good game with arguably the BEST soundtrack.
The plot twist and story is absolutely amazing.. It's an underdog story. Luigi and Bowser are the underdogs.. Or Antasma who failed in the end.
The fact that bowser was so paranoid of people betraying him that he betrayed the one and only villian who TRULY wanted to be Bowser's friend is just amazing. Antasma seems like a guy that is a strategist like Fawful but also has a touch Dimentio.. He also wanted the Dream Stone to make his biggest wish come true.. To this day we don't know what this wish is. Maybe to bring back his people.. Because he is the king of bat's but there are no other bat's like him.
He doesn't care about the cool names or shiny entrances like Bowser.. He concentrates straight on the plan.
idk if you upgraded your audio equipment or you just sound more confident in general but i love it
I just wanted to say that I love your videos. See, I’m not in the Mario fandom and don’t really plan on getting into it, but this video right here made me think about at least getting into the Paper Mario fandom because of how much I love this character already. Thank you for talking about this character!! ^^
Finally! A video about Paper Mario villains where the host doesn't pronounce Mario as "Mary-O"!
Dimentio is ultimate proof that war isn’t about strength, it’s about intelligence
wth! We're getting a Paper Mario video ;-;! TY! TY! I hope we can get some more in the future! Would love to see a Sticker Star rewrite in the same idea as your Twisted Ones remake
His tragic backstory is that his parents were homophobic, and he was a closted gay who has a thing for mustaches. All of this caused deep psychological problems with his self worth which presented itself in behavior which could be viewed as insane, so when he saw Mario and Luigi he got angry at himself which combined with his psychological issues, caused him to snap and engage in radical and manipulative behavior.
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
(Oh and by the way I love that you're branching out of fnaf content, this video was really entertaining!)
Bruh smh Dimentio is evil for no other reason than to serve the pixel queen just like people who are evil for no reason in real life and both have some similarities like having a god complex
I’m so happy you did this, this video is amazing and I’m so happy with the possibilities it opens. :D
A great video! I'm a sucker for Dimentio content as such it shouldn't come as a surprise i'd immediately latch myself onto any new, ripe content surrounding the self entitled jester.
I really like this video! It's nice to see you cover other video games every now and then. :)
Yes, Dimentio is one of the most interesting Paper Mario villains in the Paper Mario series.
I would love to see more Super Mario character analysis. Or any other video games. It's completely up to you.
I’m rooting for more videos like this outside of just the usual FNaF/Mascot Horror videos.
I’ve seen time and time again creators get discouraged and disappear because their audiences didn’t approve of them branching out.
What's so funny about Dimentio is that what you say is so true. He is actually one of my favorite villain characters in super paper Mario (even though I don't like super paper Mario that much) Even though I barely remember much about him until I watched your video. He was definitely one of the few casts in the game I remember besides Mimi and count blec. It's pretty funny 😂
Very nice breakdown of the character! You managed to bring light to Dimentio in a neat way, and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Here’s hoping the Almighty Algorithm looks favorably upon this video and recommends it to as many people as possible despite the change from your usual content!
Have a great day^^!
Man, you really fired up my desire to dive into the Paper Mario series again. You make a good argument about the failure of the game marking it for the “not porting to switch” section of Wii games. What’s unfortunate is that it is one of the most story rich Paper Mario games and what a lot of people hail as their favorite outing as the titular paper plumber.
I’ve honestly been wanting to start a RUclips channel of my own for the longest and the first video I wanted to do was a huge critique and deep dive of Paper Mario: Color Splash, a game I have very mixed feelings on. Perhaps I will return to that script of mine since the summer has just arrived. Thank you for making this and experimenting with the new content. Looking forward to all future projects of yours.
I honestly think super paper mario is the best game and will forever be in my heart.
I saw your Video, absolutely loved it. Huge Dimentio Fan myself and glad to see a huge video detailing about Dimentio :)
PS: I heard you call Dimentio "Dimmy" as a Nickname
That last One ”Agreed to disagreed.” Is so funny for somereason (with that voice) and it just so something dimentio would say if someone disagreed for his ideas
Love me some Super Paper Mario! Glad to see some coverage on it. I still think he kills everyone at 12:52 , it's just that death or "game over" works a bit differently in this universe
Super Paper Mario and all of its characters will forever have a place in my heart. Its probably my favourite game if i was forced to pick one. This game is so unique in every way from the gameplay mechanics to the story and I love everything about it.
This villain impressed me so deeply 🤩 definitely more than a footnote!
Ah, Dimentio one of the faces of the “chaos clown” archetype with Kefka and Marx before him and Jevil after (also the Joker but he only had cosmic powers that one time) it’s a kind a of character people (especially in this age) like to latch onto. Seeing a silly looking dude with great lines, chucking around reality warping powers, and a sick boss theme is Certainly memorable.
And I would agree that he isn’t the most evil since besides Count Bleck there’s the Shroobs from Partners in Time. Sure they aren’t going to delete or rewrite the multiverse (before movies thought it was cool) but they do some pretty sick things while conquering the mushroom kingdom. Like tying up Toads to tree to drain the live force out of them, and we actually SEE it.
No, i think using everyone as pawns and betraying them just to gain ultimate power and reshape all of reality to his liking to where he alone, is God is more evil. Plus, he did say he was gonna choke the life out of Black once he was done humiliating and torturing the Heroes of the prophecy.
My brother played this game A LOT when we were younger, but at that point I was still a bad reader so I couldn’t understand the story that well. I did always love the art and designs though, and Dimentio always stood out to me, and is a character design I think about a lot
For the past few years, it also seems like the popularity of jester characters and designs skyrocketed on the internet, which made me see more of this guy again. I’m happy he’s such a popular character, and I’m glad my brother played this game so much
As someone who hasnt played paper mario games, this was a really interesting video and made me want to see more of this character
BASED,TRULY ONE OF THE OPINIONS OF ALL TIMES
The power of the bardolic fool is immeasurable. The appearance of comedic Relief yet the source of revelation and reason. No one believes the jester actual listens anything said around it, but is fully ware of such goings ane has its own agenda.
Make sure John Mulaney can do a Fenneko laugh and I’m sold on him voicing Dimentio 👌
I recently saw a comment saying that Dimentio actually secretly won and is the direct reason all the _Paper Mario_ games after _Super_ have been gutted of the charm and originality that made the first two special; as well as the direct reason they are now about literal arts and crafts instead of just having a storybook aesthetic. Let’s face it, it does kinda seem like something he’d do 🎭
This video made my day! Super Paper Mario is my favorite Paper Mario game and Dimentio is one of if not my favorite villains of all time. Glad to see this game and it’s amazing cast of characters hasn’t been lost to time!
I really love Dimentio, his sarcasm and mockery are perfect
*But like the jester said to the king, there's some bad news that i bring*

Bro I love Dimentio! And I love Super Paper Mario as a whole. I grew up with it, and so many other Mario (and non-Mario) games on the Wii, and it helped to add to the kinda nostalgic feel I have towards times back then that I bet a lot of you guys have too. Also I want to thank you for making this video and not letting this treasure die off. +1 Sub! Namasté and God bless (And I am on board 100% to have him and some others in another Mario movie)
Super is the unfortunate case of probably the best story ever written in Mario locked behind, well, that gameplay.
John Mulaney as Dimentio is something I didn’t know I needed.
So excited to see you covering non-FNAF characters, especially a fan favorite like Dimentio. I agree that this is probably the last we'll see of him, but I feel like it's better to have him contained to one excellent experience, rather than brought back and reshod in progressively more mediocre games.
Despite me having no prior experience or in depth knowledge in Mario or any likewise game series Dementio does seem like a really interesting villain, almost like Starscream from Transformers, namely his Transformers: Animated counterpart, where he's still a scheming lieutenant, yet a formidable threat on his own. I personally think Tom Kenny would make a good Voice Actor for Dementio(he actually voiced TF Animated Starscream, and probably could carry over the performance for the most part).
The mario rpg series has some really good and likeable villains, you should definitely check out bowsers inside story. The villains in that game, the Dark Star, and Fawful are cool and likeable characters
I only know you from your FNAF videos but I'm so glad you're branching out, looking forward to more (:
i love your videos, your voice is so soothing i swear i can watch anything u make, u deserve so much!
I really love how you're branching out from FNAF and covering other types of series
Love dimentio, glad to hear you talk about him, he is a great start to you expanding outside of fnaf content.
Welp, time to listen to the Man on the Internet covers of Super Paper Mario!
Up and down on this merry-go-round~
Destinations you’ll never know~
I didn’t know how much I needed a movie featuring Dimentio voiced by John Mulaney until this video. I both love and hate you for this, for it will be stuck in my mind indefinitely. And so I will never recover, like a high schooler having tripped on their shoe lace in the middle of the hall… Anyways-Ciao!
Dunno a lot about Mario lore, but this is definitely an interesting villain. And rather on-theme I suppose. I quite like his design.
I swear in almost every series (show or game) (especially if it has darker themes underneath) there’s a goofy jester themed character who tends to be evil and is EXTREMELY powerful (take jevil from deltarune, spinel from su, etc etc)
Super Paper Mario is really the end of an era for the Paper Mario series, like, I am seriously convinced that Post-Sticker star is an alternate reality (with worse writing) that's a lot more paper-y than story book-y.
It's so sad how PM is nowadays, I wish we could have the fun RPG gameplay back with amazing stories likes TTYD or SPM had, one of my favorite things about SP is how you lose Tippi and need to buy her replacement who has a constant existential crisis because they know they're a replacement that isn't on par with the real one and it brings them so much dispair.
I will never understand why we are not able to have fun non-gimmicky gameplay (that's not either completely skippable and with no point to it or capable of getting you soft-locked) and good stories anymore, not being able to create original character sucks so hard as well.
Being a PM fan sure bring a lot of heartache, I guess that's why being dissapointed with FNAF's modern story isn't as hurtful anymore
Good video! I've never been a Mario fan, but this is a pretty cool character!
17:00 I am lucky enough to own the uncensored version of the game, so I got to enjoy the dialogue in its true splendor!
Love the new content! ❤ I remember when this channel was only fnaf fan games with no commentary and then theory on googles voice. And seeing the evolution of the content and de shear quality makes me happy. Keep it up and dond be afraid of making what YOU want, and not sticking only with fnaf!
Super Paper Mario got me into gaming I don’t know what I’ll do when my wii eventually breaks.
This happened to me. Luckily, there are wii emulators (for pc)! I got to play this game again. If you want advice, you should check out some emulators 😊
"In recent years, Mario and Luigi died."
*_roll credits_*
I think the fact that all of these characters appear in just one game only makes SPM feel more special.
The whole story and setup feels like something Nintendo would never in a million years do with Mario. Yet it exists and it's so emotional and deep.
Honestly that ending was pure gold. It would be a perfect casting choice
The fact that he murders the main cast and sends them to hell is so metal
Well, you know what they say: Can’t create a perfect world without destroying a dozen others
So if you talk to Carson enough he says that Dimentio might have a relationship with the Dark Prognosticus. Implying that it was actually HIM that wrote it in the first place. And since he was the one who wanted to join bleck, he knew about his ideas and further manipulated him. And if he did write it, that means he was planning on resetting all world to make his own from the word “go”. And Dimentio has also shown just how careless he is of others. By the end of the game he does not give a shit about anyone. Natasia, Count Bleck himself, the 4 heroes, hell he gladly possessed o’chunks and made him fight our heroes. Dimentio, while not my favorite mario villain, is undoubtedly the most diabolical and evil threat the red plumber has ever encountered. And as one final desperation to make SURE the heroes die even though the void still exists, he kamikazes himself, killing him in the process. Which ends up failing and freeing Luigi, but it shows just how desperate he was. And how he was so close to actually winning. I also love how at first it seems like Dimentio may be a villain that’s actually good. But very quickly you get confused because he keeps contradicting that idea. And in 8-3 you find out that he is a manipulative piece of shit who doesn’t wanna defeat Count Bleck to save all worlds. He wants to defeat him so he can do his goal instead. And he was willing to kill anybody who dares get in his way. And bonus points for being the only mario villain to literally FUCKING KILL MARIO, PEACH, BOWSER, AND LUIGI!
He could be the magician's son
I wish Dimentio came back 😭
Gilbert Godfrey Dimentio VA final offer. May he rest in piece.
Yeeeeeeee a video on one of my fave games ever ^^ it's one of the only mario games I've ever played and the story really got me in the feels. I've got a lot of nostalgia for it, but Dimentio is a character i never paid much attention to so I'm looking forward to this vid >:3
Now that we are getting a Mario RPG remake.
Never say never on Dimentio.
Honestly, a super paper Mario-type movie could work, since the first Mario movie did rlly well, it’d be cool to have another good story to base the movie off of and introduce more characters.
great video! i'm always down for some super paper mario analysis :D (also, john mulaney's voice fits dimentio better than i expected-- that's a mario movie sequel i'd definitely watch.)
Its a crime this video isnt picking up the traction it deserves, I hope you keep trying to branch out, it would be a shame to get pigeonholed to a single franchise fandom.
Probably will keep getting the same treatment as Geno. A lot of fans like the character but has yet to be in another Super Mario game.
