Also there is definitely NOT an editing mistake at the beginning of the Teehee valley segment, nope no way there is one o-o
Rank all the badges c’mon we’re all waiting
@@moofusgoofus ye you're right
Ranking all minigames
Ranking every Chapter in the first Paper Mario
Rank the top 5 best Bros. Moves and Bros. Actions please!
It's really saying something when you can predict every spot before the video begins, but to be fair, I was kind of surprised by how you thought Tee hee valley was close to #1, as while I know you quite like Dozing Sands, I hadn't really heard about how you felt about Tee hee Valley. (Side note: Screw auto correct) Great video!
I am not really a fan of the deserts in the series, but I do agree with this list, when I first played dream team I got stuck in the desert for a while, I still think that area is kinda annoyng but it is my favorite desert in the mario and luigi series and my favorite desert theme in the series, not in the entire mario rpgs though (that would go to sniff city from origami king). Anyways amazing video like always
Thanks man :D and ye that makes sense
Cool video! Kinda odd seeing 2 Dream Team areas at number 1, I ain’t complaining (it is my favourite game in Mario and Luigi) but nice none the less.
Didn’t expect it either but hey
Dream Team isn't my favorite M&L game, but it does have my favorite areas.
Guzma
Here's my thoughts on the desert areas, from worst to best:
Doop Doop Dunes - Yeah, kind of obvious that this is the worst one. It's about as generic as a desert level can get and I'm already not a big fan of the desert theme to begin with. Traversing and exploring it is kind of a pain because of its large size, as you said.
Teehee Valley - It does more to stand out from Doop Doop Dunes without a doubt, but still not all that interesting. Also, I'm not a fan of the escort mission, especially on the GBA version where Peach moves a lot faster. The enemies are kind of cool, but I think it's a bit lame that you never see the Anuboos, unless you return to the specific path you take the first time.
Dozing Sands - It feels a lot more unique than the previous ones and has some interesting mechanics. The enemies are decent too. However, it does feel a bit drawn out. I don't really like how you have to be riding the drill machine to access certain areas. Also, since it's so large, exploring can sometimes feel like a chore to me. Ultimately though, it's positive aspects make it better than the above ones.
Gritzy Desert - This is my favorite desert area mostly for the music and sense of mystery it evokes. Activating the dry bones statues to reveal a secret entrance to the Koopaseum is a cool concept as well. Also, I think this is the best one in terms of gameplay, since there's nothing about it I find aggravating, unlike all the other ones. Overall though, it still doesn't stand out to me all that much. I guess I'm just not generally a fan of desert levels.
My ranking:
4. Gritzy Desert: It's bad, even by PiT standards.
3. Doop Doop Dunes: A pretty meh area. I have no strong opinions on it.
2. Teehee Valley: The escort mission is overhated, this area is actually pretty fun.
1. Dozing Sands: The drill is fun, the enemies are fun, the boss is fun, and the second visit is... inoffensive. Dream Team areas in general are underrated and my favorite in the series.
Good list :D
@@ShroobInvader Thanks. Also, what areas are left for you to do?
The deserts are probably the most forgettable locations in all the Mario and Luigi games
Ye I can see that
I don't know, i really liked Teehee Valley as a kid.
2:19 the smash brawl remix of this is amazing
Yup I agree
4:05 edit mistake or haha funny you talk about the music and than we have the super good battle music?
LOL…yeah let’s go with the music one o-o
I mean you can’t go wrong with superstar saga battle music
I'm genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised to hear so much positivity about Teehee Valley since most people hate the escort mission. But that barrel minigame in the ship got me stuck for several years in the GBA version when I was a kid, so I always dread that part on subsequent playthroughs, even though it's fairly easy now.
I love your channel. So unique! Keep up the good work
thanks man I appreciate it :D
My ranking:
4) Teehee Valley
3) gritzy dessert
2) Doop doop dunes
1) Dozing sands
Hey did U know humans are made out of sand (and dirt)? That's why desert theme is one of my favorites :)
O_O that doesn’t seem too correct ngl
Video idea
Ranking all minigames in mario luigi
Not a bad idea
My ranking:
4) Doop Doop Dunes (Never finished Paper Jam, so I don't expect to like this area)
3) Dozing Sands (I don't like the music or the drilling mechanic but I get why people like it)
2) Teehee Valley (Protecting Princess Peach from the Desert Goombas is freaking annoying, but once you get good at it and you can do the puzzles fast enough for her to not get captured feels really satisfying)
1) Gritzy Desert (I like the idea of the Bros and Babies splitting up to connect the Dry Bone light thingies and the music is the best Desert theme in a Mario RPG)
I’d say that there all good and okay desert areas, but the dozing sands area is thereby my favorite and the best desert area in the game series so far!
I just watched this video. And now, I am subscribing.
I have the same list I completely agree good video keep it up 👍 cannot wait for more
Thanks :D
@@ShroobInvader you’re welcome
Hey I don’t usually comment on videos but I just wanted to say that your content is amazing. We both share a lot of the same opinions when it comes to Mario and Luigi and you are my main source of content when it comes to my favorite games. Keep up the great work man!
I'm more a fan of the grassland areas because there so generic that i love it so much but i totally agree with your ranking (PS you're my favorite character in the flat mates podcast)
Doop Doop Dunes is just my least favorite area of all time in the Mario & Luigi games. The whole area is just way too big making 100% completion difficult. The last block I had to hit was inside a Toad house of all things and it's easily overlooked because being a big area already it's rather easy to miss anything in Doop Doop Dunes. The enemies are alright despite them not being original at all. Dozing Sands made sense as a big area because you can use the drill machine to move faster but it just doesn't work for Doop Doop Dunes.
I hate the place, it’s so open and has nothing in it. I don’t think Plack Beach had much in it either but it was much less open compared to Doop Doop Dunes
Why did I think doop doop dunes was called dry dry dunes. No clue! Anyway here my list!
4: dozing sands (dt): I have always hated this area. It’s long boring stale. And most notably LONG! It feels like it takes forever. I don’t really like the boss all too much and personally it doesn’t feel right. Maybe it’s because it has the weird goopy looking enemy that’s my least favorite enemy in every Mario game. No joke.
3: TeeHee Valley: A lot of people don’t really like this place because of the escort mission. But my big problem with it is what you said. You don’t go here a lot. I love the world so much I just wish it was used more.
2: Gritzy desert: so the enemy infestation problem in Gritzy desert is.. bad. I don’t like it too much. But there is more too it. The enemies are fun to fight. I love exploring the small area tho. It’s fun and I love it!
1: Doop Doop Dunes: why do I love this so much. Idk. There is something about it that makes it a lot of fun to go through. It might be that toad mission with a timer or the boss fight. I just love it all.
Wow my list is the complete opposite of yours. Yey
Good list :D
I can't choose what's worse, Toadwood Forest or Gritzy Desert?
The only thing in tee hee valley I despised was peach getting kidnapped every 5 seconds
Mario & Luigi Dream Team defined like, a year of my childhood. Fantastic game.
My ranking:
#4: Teehee Valley (I absolutely hate this area. In my opinion, it's the worst Mario and Luigi area of all time. It's so slow, boring, and tedious.)
#3: Doop Doop Dunes (It's a Paper Jam area. It's big, it's open, it's boring, it has Toad missions, and it has a Papercraft boss. Bad)
#2: Gritzy Desert (I agree that this place is very overrated. The music is only okay. Overall, the place itself is just ok.)
#1: Dozing Sands (The only desert area that is actually good. The giant drill is fun to use, the enemies are good, and Torkscrew is a good boss.)
Unlike Paper Mario which actually does desert areas very well, Mario and Luigi really doesn't.
Good list :D
Tbh, BiS doesn’t have a few main areas like a snow area or desert, also for pit would star hill be considered a snow like area or would it be holly holly village?
Holly Jolly village is more like it honestly, but Star hill is more of a mountain area so
@@ShroobInvader ah true, I never really thought of star hill as a mountain area, I always default to thwomp volcano
@@ShroobInvader I guess technically Holijoli Village would be both a grass and snow area...
My Ranking:
4. Gritzy Desert (Partners in Time)
(Easily my least favorite Mario and Luigi area as it has everything I hate about PiT areas. Reused puzzles, Baby juggling galore, Enemy Spam. But this time it’s cranked up to 11.)
3. Doop Doop Dunes (Paper Jam)
(Yeah this desert level is just kind of open… not a whole lot going on either. Really not that great. Music is catchy though. Even though you could realistically say that about the other desert areas in the series too.)
2. Teehee Valley (Superstar Saga)
(The Peach section is annoying. However the rest is inoffensive, the S. S. Chuckola is an interesting area, and the Popple fight here is the best one. Now featuring Birdo.)
1. Dozing Sands (Dream Team)
(Introducing the only Desert area I actually like. This one does get monotonous when you’re going for the Dozing Mattress, but Britta is funny, The idea is gold, it’s definitely the most inoffensive desert area in the series.)
Good list :D
Just found your channel, loving the videos!
Less goo it may be 00:00 for me and theres school tomorrow but Shroob Invader > School
LOL
Paper jam really is just missed potential the game isn’t it
Yep lol
My favorite dessert areas
4. Doop doop dunes yay in my own opinion it’s very forgottable and the areas it’s very genetic the only things is the papercraft battle and big pokey pokey battle the chargin chuck boss fight.
3. Teehee valley annoying mission actually of princess peach to little fungtown.
2. Glitzy desert I like the music and the puzzles good.
1. Dozing sands of course the giant boss is there suprised you.
can you rank the pre-game areas (they’re mostly peaches castle and usually bring the first bowser fight) since the first areas come after those
rank all 7 regular battle themes (minus giant, papercraft and boss battle music) (or more if you count those sub games)
4000 subscribers is Mario + rabbits Kingdom Battle
hey, i just subscribed and i have an idea for a ranking video:
ranking the gimmicks for all the mario and luigi games. basically what i mean is, how well do you enjoy the different gimmicks in the mario and luigi games? how well are they introduced in the story? how well is the gameplay/battle system/attacks and enemies implemented and tied to this gimmick?
so before i keep going, here's what i think the gimmicks for each games are:
SS: Teamwork between Mario & Luigi in their abilities and attacks/Elemental powers/not in the mushroom kingdom
PiT: Time travel/Fighting with Baby M&L/The Shroob kingdom
BiS: Controlling Bowser both directly and from the inside with M&L
DT: The Entire Dream World thing
PJ: Paper Mario, Paper Bowser, and the Paper enemies
so to give a few examples of the nuances between the video i'm proposing and the one where you rank the games themselves, here's what i think you should be judging and ignoring in each game (not everything. you're a grown man, i trust you can figure the rest out yourself. though i'm open to questions if you have any):
SS: How well do the elemental powers fit into the fights? How good do you think the idea is that you have to get excellents on each bros. attack before getting another upgraded version? How well do you think the execution of that idea is? How well do those bros. attacks and overworld abilities translate M&L's trust in each other and their abilities?
PiT: How well to the baby bros fight? What do they add to M&L's attacks? What do their interactions with each other and their older counter parts show? Don't talk about M&L themselves, talk about the babies. How well do the Shroobs show their will for destruction?
BiS: How enjoyable is Bowser's combat system? what do his unique status effect reveals about him? Don't talk about he bros part of the story, except when they're doing things inside Bowser, and talk about how well the enemies feel like they really are Bowser's body's defense system (or whatever it's supposed to be). So ignore the toad village, the sage you have to knock down, or exploring peach's castle in the endgame with the bros until you free bowser from the safe. Ignore their bros attacks as well. Do talk about the giant battles and how you get to those giant battles.
DT: How well are the luiginary works implemented? How is the combat system in the dream world? How well do the dreamy enemies translate that they're dreamy enemies? How good are the giant battles (i know you don't like them, but they're tied to the gimmick regardless)? How well do those pre-giant battle cutscenes show both Luigi's fear of enemies, and how he's willing to push past that fear in order to save Mario? Ignore anything outside of the dream world.
PJ: How good/enjoyable are PM's attacks? How enjoyable are his trio attacks? His overworld abilities? How are B and PB's rivalry shown in the cutscene? How differents are the normal enemies from their paper counterparts? Ignore the normal bros attacks, M&L's interactions with each other, but do include their interactions with PM.
i think that's it. and again, if you have any questions, i'm open to them.
My list:
4. Gritzy Desert 3/10
There is no real objective here and nothing to do here besides beans. The enemies are pretty meh and the music is overrated.
3. Teehee Valley 5/10
This place is kinda forgettable and it didn't create a big impact on me. The escort mission is trash and trunkle is ok at best. The music like you said is godly too. The second visit doesn't really count for me as it takes place in the ship rather than the actually overworld. The minigame in the ship is not that good. The only good thing I could find out about Teehee Valley is the poople and birdo bossfight which is amazing. I don't really think Teehee Valley has a 3rd visit though because you are only there for the bossfight and nothing else.
2. Doop Doop Dunes 6/10
This place is definitely overlooked because it's PJ, but I disagree with you. There are many things to do in Doop Doop Dunes. Firstly, there are many toad quests to do on normal and hard mode exclusive to doop doop dunes. PJ also brings a new collection system. Instead of just looking for beans like it PiT, you can also try to find ? blocks and item patches. The pokey boss was a cool idea for the second bossfight of the game. The battle system in PJ makes the enemies fun to fight and defeat. Now that I got my positives out of the way, I want to talk about the negatives. There is a papercraft battle here and it is the worst one in the game due to not really there being a ability and kamek being outright annoying to hit. There are also option bros items you can get in this area and you aren't really told about them. Lastly, the charging chucks fight is very out of nowhere and has a level spike (get it).
1. Dozing Sands 6.5/10
The music is pretty good in this place. I wouldn't say god tier but it isn't anything bad. Enemies are pretty good and the dream enemies are too. The characters are pretty funny and Torkdrift is a good third boss. The stone crushing quest is fun and is satisfying to complete. The new moves and attacks and overworld moves are okay. The bandit enemies in the second vist are not the best since they take your coins, but it is very short therefore I don't care bout the second visit. The only reason this doesn't have a perfect score is because I was stuck here for a long time
Im always like 4 levels under a boss in mario and luigi becuase i dont like to fight every single enemy but then i try and i forget about it. :(
My Ranking: 4 Gritzy Desert
3 Doop Doop Dunes
2 Teehee Valley
1 Driftimg Sands
Drifting, not that weird thing I said
You should rank the levels from color splash
Its been a month already without a new video????
Mine:
3- Teehee Valley (Music is Amazing, but it's the most awful of the 3 due to Peach's Sidequest and Anuboos...)
2- Dozing Sands (Music isn't good as the other 3, but Torkscrew is a great boss, and the area is interesting.)
1- Gritzy Desert (I love it, the Best chapter in Partners in Time, also it has the Best music of the game, good enemies, great design, intetesting area design with monty moles as residents and... IS THE MIDDLE POINT OF THE POINT, everything changes here.)
Can you do more color splash or paper jam
0:46 I knew Doop ×2 Dunes would be at the bottom! In your Beach Area ranking, you put Twinsy Tropics' Beach Area at number 5, and you did put it at number 8 in your PJ Area ranking. Doop ×2 Dunes, you put at number 7, so, i knew it was going to be at the bottom in this list!
Predict Ability aside, i don't remember what i wanted to say to you that i wanted you to read. I my, i can rank the Desert areas.
2: Teehee Valley: I like the enemies, they give good EXP and gear(Anuboo gives good gear to sell), but, of course, i hate the escort mission. The enemies are not the problem, since, everytime i enter here, i'm overleveld/led. The problem is Princess Peach's movement.(reminding me of SMRPG right now.) There's no option to make her stop, instead of she walking the other way. Sometimes, this game does everything to make you not beat it. Didn't work, because i beat it 3 times.
1: Gritzy Desert: Once again, i like fighting the enemies. This time, there is nothing annoying that i can think of. I guess it's for the best.
I think that's everything for me to talk about.
Shroob Invader did you know that my livestream for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is showing next to your ranking videos for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team in the topic page under the recents tab for that game? maybe our videos will always be next to each other, right?
4:03 was this an editing mistake?
O_O sheit
Top 10 battle themes please
SHROOB UPLOAD WOOOOOOOOO
4: Doop Doop Dunes. Yeah, there's really just nothing here. Nearly all of Paper Jam's areas are bland and forgettable but Doop Doop Dunes takes the cake for it's emptiness.
3: Teehee Valley. Like you said, the problem is that the most you do here is escort Peach. It's an underrated section, but it's not that great. Every visit after the Peach escort is just very minor. You go *through* this area without having any goal here or anything else to make it interesting.
2. Gritzy Desert. I don't understand the hate, honestly. Not just for the music, but that is a big part of why I like it... The enemies aren't bad, and I think it does better with the babies&bros splitting than some of the other areas, it's a fun time personally. Shame the desert itself is small and most of that world is spent in the less memorable underground.
1: Dozing Sands. The exploration on the drill is fun, and a very memorable part of the game. There's a lot to find here compared to everywhere else. It doesn't exactly have great bosses, but none of the deserts really do. Second visit is not really memorable (to the point where I forgot about that visit until this video) but the first visit more than makes up for it, it's a big jump up in quality at that point in the game.
i agree with all of these placements
0:54 ayo paper jam abuse?
Wow that sure is a lot of sand
Fun fact: deserts have sand
Fun fact ice areas have snow
Woah :()
4) Teehee valley: the reason it's low here because this is the desert stage that frustrated me its easier in the 3ds version so it's not annoying but holy carp the original version of this levels sucks its tedious and obnoxious
Glitzy desert: slow and tedious some places are awkward and off
Doop Doop Dunes: it's okay not really I got to say
Dozing Sands:is my favorite desert level great design good exploration I love this one.
Make a new video this. Week please
Yeah doop doop dunes was pretty boring but I’m surprised teehee valley was so high that area sucked
You should rank the bro attacks of Mario and Luigi superstar saga because you have done every other game besides superstar saga and please give me a shoutout if you do this ranking
personaly i don't like the desert area in general
Fair lol
Gritzy desserts music is overrated imo. Like, why did this track of all land in Smash-Ultimate?
Honestly dozing sands is meh I did like torkscrew tho
Torkscrew is probably my 5th favorite fight
@@moofusgoofus it’s a good fight
Fair lol
Eh,I'm not really a fan of the desert areas in the Mario&Luigi series,I think Paper Mario makes them better(Especially in Origami King)
64, definitely
TTYD, not really, don't think there is a desert unless you count that arena place
SPM, I'll take M&Ls ones over this
SS, actually yeah, liked the sand areas here
CS, 100%, best sand area, massive plot twist with the hole, and Mario goes to jail after a pretty fun level. There's also a cafe.
TOK, overshadowed by the death, but pretty good nonetheless.
Idk man I hate Teehee Valley
Edit: Except I love everything besides the gameplay.
We have the same list lol
4:04......................................... B RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ₕ
hello
Yo :D
I really do not like the desert areas
