Can You Beat Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Without Dodging? (No Dodge Challenge)

It has been a very long time since I last did a challenge on a Mario & Luigi game. Paper Jam introduces the Emergency Block system and Paper Mario himself to aid us in combat, so it should be an easy task. Right?

@@IvanFranco120 look at the pinned comment

[@Error-bn5jx]

I think I figured out the "killed enemies with counterattacks" stat. I noticed that during one of the grinds you fought bob-ombs which blew themselves up during their own attack. Because of this, the game could have thought that you killed the enemy with a counterattack due to them dying on their turn. That or maybe the counter damage from the payback lightning could have counted as counterattack damage and thus would have counted as a counterattack kill if it did kill something during a grind.

[@Shyguymask]

I don't think this is it, since I killed like a hundred Bob-ombs or more while grinding including off camera. Payback lightning is worth considering but I'm sure I didn't kill 8 enemies with it.

[@masterblaster38]

@@IvanFranco120 what glich is that?

[@G_Knee-S]

@@masterblaster38 It revolves around exiting a toad mission by abnormal means (this typically means going out of bounds in order to reach a load zone you're not not supposed to interact with during the mission). This puts you back in the regular game, but the game thinks you're still doing the mission (a potential side-effect is the slide ability still being usable). You then proceed to lose any battle on purpose and choose to return to title screen. That's not supposed to happen during a mission, so the battle is cancelled instead. Conveniently, there's only one other way for the battle to end if it's followed immediately by a cutscene... which luckily includes all the boss fights in the main game. The game has no alternate events for a boss fight ending without you beating it, as you're not supposed to be able to flee from them, which means the only way the game can proceed is by playing out the cutscene that follows your victory, allowing you to proceed with the story.

If only they hadn't become obsessive with remakes. Neither sold well (the Bowser's Inside Story one is actually on par with Virtual Boy games) and the declining sales played a role in them going bankrupt.

[@maxparece4155]

Yeah it’s rather unfortunate. I really don’t even think it was really alphadream’s fault. Nintendo had an tendency around the time of their bankruptcy (less so now) to give every Mario IP the “Nee Super Mario Bros” Treatment (Just look at Paper Mario), and Paper Jam just got hit with it as well. As such, it hurt sales and Alphadream couldn’t find a way to make it work for them.

[@linhero797]

@@maxparece4155 It was Alpha dreams fault. They may have only made 2 bad games. But both of them were remakes and one of which was a remake on hardware that COULD PLAY THE ORIGINAL GAME. And the Remake for BIS was worse then the original. Running slower, looking bad when compared to the beauty of the Super Star Saga remake.

[@thundrr1929]

@@linhero797 Reminder that the remakes were to make money. They couldn't make much new stuff, and much less in any other console (I.E. The Switch), so they resorted to the remakes, hoping it'd make them enough money to stay afloat. Or at least, that's my theory.

I wanted to spend some time in this chat section documenting my attempt against Wiggler in the Gloomy Woods, and some things that might've helped in hindsight of this video. For context on advice given, I didn't use any level-drop battle cards or any of the bean items until late-game, but had prior knowledge to bank on. Stats for previous attempts: Lv 15 Mario (Knockout Boots, Iron-Ball Hammer, Cozy Wear, DEF Mush Jams / HP Up+, Gear Slot +1) Lv 15 Luigi (Bare Boots, Fighter Hammer, Koopa Troopa Wear, Counter belt / Def Up+, Gear Slot +1) Lv 15 Paper Mario (Paper Boots, Flimsy Hammer, Counter wear, Copy Bangle / BP up+, Gear Slot +1) Battlecard Deck: •Restore 20% of all HP •Raise DEF by 25% •Lower enemy POW by 30% •Boost star point gain by 50% •Nullify all damage 2 times •Nullify all damage 2 times with emergency guard •Nullify all damage once w/ emergency guard •Nullify 1 instance of 50+ damage •Emergency Guard reduces another 40% This fight was absolutely grueling, even when well-prepared. Paper mario would often die from full copies if he got tripped, and I had to play extremely defensively. The attire choice allows the bros to scale DEF alongside Wiggler's POW and amplify the DEF buff card, as well as for Luigi to hit respectable damage whenever Paper Mario died. I entered the fight with my null cards in front and 20 star points to burn, so my first action was creating 5 barriers. The 50+ barrier is for the wigger ball of doom; since it only hits once, it can often be preferrable if they're still up. If you can't one-cycle Paper Kamek, the chase sequences go from strategic play to death sentences! You'll need every advantage you can get, plenty of items, and inconceivable patience. When wiggler does his chase sequence, you can run into the Monty Mole and use Emergency Guard like a parry on the rest in order to avoid being crushed. The Paper spear guys backing up Wiggler can absolutely shred your nullifiers due to their multi-hits; having the null attached to emergency block ensured you can have some for wiggler's attacks. And though paper mario dies easily, I still revive him when possible because it's another turn available, as well as Trio attack's damage output. Shredding the Paper guys was often a side-effect of Rocket Blast and Fire Flower: I focused my damage primarily on wiggler. Trio Racquet is GREAT for shredding those pesky spear-throwers, but terrible at damaging wiggler; use Trio Kite if Wiggler's your target. And keep your health near-max: half health can be fatal. Stats for successful attempt: Lv 19 Mario (Knockout Boots, Flame Hammer, Rally Wear, Charge gloves / HP up+, Gear Slot +1, Iron Body) Lv 19 Luigi (Bare Boots, Iron-ball hammer, Koopa Troopa Wear, 1-up Gloves / Def up+, Gear Slot +1, Iron body) Lv 19 Paper Mario (Origami Boots, Flimsy Hammer, Counter Wear, Copy Bangle / BP up+, Gear Slot +1, Copy Max +2) Changes in Battle Deck: •20% heal replaced by 30% •25% revive card (wasn't used, maybe replace with atk buf / bp heal?) •30% DEF buff, 30% POW debuff •+50% Star Point gain. •Dropped +40% emergency guard for "Maxes out Paper Mario's Copies." I took extra copies instead of iron head because i believed a lot of paper mario's durability is centered on having copies to soak damage; also combos well with the last-mentioned battle card. I got enough challenge points for the 1-up gloves due to multi-tasking my grinding; Hardworking Bros & Trio, Card Veteran, Lucky Megastar, Headstart, Wildfire, And I A-ranked Petey Pirannah in Lakitu's illegal underground operation for "Item-Free Victory" and "Do it yourself." Of course, this doesn't include the smaller challenges that contributed. Ironically, i killed wiggler before his second turn, and practically one-shot paper kamek with Fire Flower just like this video! Nontheless, i hope this little documentary helps others interested in creative challenges, and thanks to ShyGuyMask for giving me this inspiration!

Would have helped for King Boo, that was the *ONLY TIME I HAD TO USE EASY MODE*. Danerade and Danerade Jr was hilarious, and I didn’t know the penultimate final boss gave you an instant game over if you failed, not that you can actually survive the otherwise instant death explosion from King Bob-omb. Now this makes me want to play the game in full again. You’ve earned a sub from me, I enjoy your content. Keep up the great work! Oh and can you beat Sticker Star, aka *Satan himself* without dodging?

I've never played a Paper mario game other than Super sadly.

[@JoelTheParrot]

Lemmy truly is the ender of all worlds Also, the counterattack thing is probably related to that one equippable that you had that strikes the enemy with lighting equal to their attack.

damn i remember when you played io games. keep up the good work my guy

[@kamilslup7743]

reducing levels by 5 is pretty dang overpowered. how did these cards get past the play test

[@rjante2236]

TBH I really should have used them in my dodgeless run, but because I forgot (or maybe I was being a stubborn idiot) I didn't lol

[@WeegeeDX]

not even mentioning the broken to all hell amiibo cards

[@inkboyco9832]

17:51 I now wonder how Luigi survived that

[@unnoticed4571]

Well, that was certainly a trip. A quite exciting one at that

[@StarshadowMelody]

Oh my gods the final boss is bowser dressed up as bowser. That's absurd and amazing.

[@reagansido5823]

I've played this game many times and I've never seen the option to skip an area before.

[@swagdoll420]

Fantastic video! Side note, I might try to do my own Dream Team dodgeless since you don't want to, but I don't have a 3DS Capture Card yet, and they're expensive.

[@stovebot4280]

I was planning on it but i don't have a capture card either but i think ill just note down any boss strats including giant bosses and any impossible stuff (like giant bosses ) although i can't think any impossible ones of the top of my head If anyone remembers a counter or die boss in that game pls tell me

[@swagdoll420]

@@stovebot4280 Smoldergeist and Thunder Sass are going to be nightmares for figuring out how many dodges to kill, since the former requires dodging to hurt, and the latter has a gimmick where you can't attack (and no first strikes either.) Even with glitches, we still need to fight Zeekeeper to get to Neo Bowser's Castle, which is a giant battle. Needless to say, Dream Team is looking like an endless nightmare right now.

[@stovebot4280]

Smouldergeist and thundersass are the sausage dudes right? Also idk any glitches so ill either have to look them up or do a glitchless run also i want to see how many ex bosses i can beat I know i can oneshot water pump along with a couple others but things like antasma might be impossible without a ridiculous level

The perfect 3am bowl of ramen content. Thanks! Keep up the great work

Hey shyguymask I comment the video and put can you beat Mario&Luigi paper jam without Dodging or blocking and you did it. I was very happy to see it. Thank you so much for making it.

[@void67214]

This time, the paper’s been jammed into paralyzation.

[@taotaoliu2229]

New video idea: How many crimes can Henry commit in ONE path in Completing the Mission?

[@Dr.Barber]

I'm glad the intro mentioned it before I could comment it. Feels like it's been ages since we had something like this.

[@lfan63]

16:30 gives me major Bowser X flashbacks. I guess Luigi decided to teach everyone else how to be invincible

[@syndere6755]

I have a bit of a different challenge for you then. M&L Dream Team, Stache only. All level up points must be put in Stache, and no stat upgrades. No HP up, no beans, none of that. Maybe no badge effects if you feel like it.

[@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gk]

Question. Dafuq does Stache do?

[@syndere6755]

When you want to take less damage without dodging, the Emergency Block System helps you.

[@Shyguymask]

Yep

[@scott6348]

I might not have been an og but man I love these challenge videos

[@edgyslayer]

I wait for this for so long, and i know Is ganna be good

[@TheZombiewill]

This is my first time seeing the attacks of the final boss since I've 1 shot both phases because I farmed my level to beat the boss rush before doing the final boss.

[@unnoticed4571]

This is what always happens to me in RPGs I overlevel thinking that I'll need it, and then fucking decimate the final boss without seeing too much of it

[@loganmoreau7569]

I tried doing a casual pacifist run of this game, but now that I know you can skip the missions I realized my life is incomplete and must subject myself to more pain

[@pedromorandini686]

Great video, i love your challenge runs, especially with the M&L series. Also another reason that Dream Team can't be beaten without dodging is: one of the Big Massif students challenge is to beat him only by COUNTERATTACKING. Oh well...

18:07 I love the sombrero shyguy. It just feels like a completely random mexican joke that is way funnier than it should be.
