Chapter Boss MEDLEY | Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

[@Lucca_Time]

Be sure to check out the X-Naut Medley too! ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5ulgnxtm9J_n9k What do you think about the Remake and it's music approach? ► I personally REALLY like the direction they went with this soundtrack. It's just an AMAZING mix of Jazz, Techno, Metal, ...

[@paperclipps551]

Doopliss theme is everything I need and more Also Smorg is fun but idk how to describe it other than batshit madness

[@Lucca_Time]

They all are SO HEAVY and I'm deifnitely all in for that!! Love 'em!

[@TheMRock888]

I remember stopping on my turn, half way through the battle with Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 ‘cause I had to take a DANCE BREAK! It so rare to hear dubstep in 2024 and I was so pleasantly surprised. They did NOT have to go so hardddddd

[@Lucca_Time]

I LOVE it and I want more of it... I hope the next Paper Mario iterations continue to do this kind of music. Extreme heavy style, mixed with banging joyful music, jazz and Dubstep / Techno... It's just SUCH a good OST

[@youcantbeatD]

Is it really that rare to hear dubstep in 2024? I can think of is genshin's recent boss fight that dropped this year,

[@Twinkieboiandsproutgaming]

all I can hear is a mechanism terraria boss

[@UltraPlasmaMan]

What do you mean? I’ve got music artists that release dubstep all the time

[@ScaredSackless4566]

The transition from Magnus von Grapple 2.0 to Sir Grodus was actually somewhat clean

[@Lucca_Time]

Thank you! It's almost impossible to loop them perfectly when putting them in the right order. Those two still fit perfectly though!

[@jackatk]

Wdym somewhat?? That transition was perfect

[@lojiczimm811]

@@jackatkso perfect I didn’t even notice it changed

[@godstopper_iv]

As was Doopliss to Cortez

[@jamesonshekmeister]

This honestly makes me want a boss rush mode or a way to replay the bosses after beating the game. The only thing is you won't get star points for beating them, it would purely be a challenge run kinda thing, like The Arena from Kirby. Another idea is the practice battle section found in Mother 3's enemy log, except you actually get to defeat them rather than fighting a practice dummy for eternity until you decide to quit. Another idea is to tweak whatever level or badges you have before the fight to give yourself something to challenge yourself with.

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah It's kind of sad they didn't include something like a boss rush or another way to replay those bosses.... Missed opportunity to include another "boss pipe" in the new warp pipe room

[@spiritloa]

They could have used Doopliss for the rematches who can turn into all bosses

[@Lucca_Time]

OMG GENIUS YES!

[@jamesonshekmeister]

@@spiritloa That is a cool idea. Dammit Nintendo, you're fans are coming up with good ideas again and you'll never hear them.

[@ThisAintItCH1EF]

Or they could go the Mario rpg remake route and have boss rematches that are much harder than the originals

[@Raiz136]

Putting a Count Bleck motif in Shadow Queen Phase 2 is a very fascinating choice.

[@matthewisguy7336]

Dang they remembered super!!

[@SlowDownYT]

Grodus' new theme goes so hard

[@Lucca_Time]

Yes! They all do ro be honest. In my opinion at least. I REALLY like the Atomoc Boo theme

[@BuckBlaziken]

Tbh I never thought of Blooper as a chapter boss, but he does show up at the very end of the Prologue, before chapter 1 starts, and he is required to be beaten to progress. Still feels weird to consider Blooper as a boss though.

[@Lucca_Time]

I get that. I thought the very same thing but it just seemed necessary to include him in this list.

[@thomasr.6669]

@@Lucca_TimeIt does give a coin bonus for beating it like every other boss in the game as well, so there’s that.

[@RidingADream2004]

Blooper is a boss at PM64, original PM TTYD and PMTOK.

[@londondeer]

I genuinely wasn't much of a fan of Doopliss' theme up until hearing the second phase in the remake, I'm so pleased with what they've done with every single song in the OST!!

[@Lucca_Time]

Couldn't agree more!

[@cheddarsunchipsyes8144]

I don’t get the difference between 1 and 2 am I deaf

[@Alpha-oo8]

It’s been interesting hearing people’s thoughts on which are upgrades and downgrades, and it has revealed some interesting tidbits. For some, everything is an upgrade. Others think one song is a downgrade whilst another group thinks the same song is an upgrade. I think it all depends on what your favourite part of a tune is. If that particular part is missing, it will feel wrong. But to people who weren’t so attached to that specific part, they don’t see it as a loss. Case in point, one of the most consistent things I’ve heard is the sad loss of the bongos in Cortez’s theme. To some, it might be THE most important part of the song. But I wasn’t overly aware that the song even had them to begin with, so to me, it’s an upgrade. Vice versa, there are some songs where my favourite touches are completely absent. But to others it’s not as important to them, so they don’t feel like it’s a downgrade. It’s fascinating to hear how so many can love a piece of music but for completely different reasons. Remaking such a soundtrack will never be able to please everyone. But I think overall, they did wonders with this stuff. And it’s just interesting to think how we all have different tastes

[@Lucca_Time]

Wow great comment!! Thanks for your detailed opinion!!

[@seanc7342]

Man Bowser really got shafted when you think about never at one point was really the main threat to Mario

[@Alpha-oo8]

Here’s a big question… which one saw the biggest improvement from the original?

[@Lucca_Time]

I personally think Hooktail. The immense drum fills and trumpets, ... are just AMAZING

[@coronadesert]

Definitely Hooktail

[@Musicombo]

Macho Grubba

[@aaronTGP_3756]

Macho Grubba, since it sounds way more villainous. Grodus and Magnus Von Grapple are close behind. For the latter two, it's because they actually sound good.

[@TeknoThom]

I love the remade Shadow Queen theme for Phase 2. I don’t attend choirs but choir singing in game music goes so hard I can’t help but love it in this

[@Radiant_Peach]

Doo_liss' new theme sla_s even hader then the original could have ever done

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah definitely. They went all out with Doo_liss' theme. You just want to _arty when hearing this _layful banger.

[@DaSheepKiller]

I agree, 100 _ercent.

[@Kirbyfan-x1r]

Omg macho grubba remix slaps

[@Lucca_Time]

HELL YEAH! Although I'd say that my favorite is Cortez

[@AfapTheAfap]

To all the _eo_le who are saying Doo_liss 1 and Doo_liss 2 are the same, let me just say that that is _erfectly a__alling! _art one sounds more just like a character theme, and _art two has waaaay more of a _unctuated _rideful _unk of a boss vibe.

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah! I can't really describe what makes them different - but your explanation is great!

[@NomchipomPlays]

Prologue (Blooper): Oriental market Ch. 1 (Hooktail): Murderer is chasing you Ch. 2 (Magnus von Grapple): Fighting an enemy 1000 times your size Ch. 3 (Macho Grubba): Spooky Scary ~Skeletons~ Rock Star Ch. 4 (Doo_liss): The organ player went mad Ch. 5 (Cortez): idk what to put here Ch. 6 (Smorg): WE GET IT, INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS! YOU DEVELOPED THIS GAME! Ch. 7 (MvG 2.0): Mario ate the magic-a mushrooms 😵‍💫 Ch. 8 (Grodus): They took Mario to the hospital Ch. 8 (Shadow Queen): The world is ending

[@Lucca_Time]

That spooky scary skeletons remix is so funny

[@Kyle-hf3oq]

They did not need to go so hard with the Magnus Von Grapple and Shadow Queen themes

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

I don’t really hear a difference between the 2 Doopliss themes. Also, I wouldn’t call Grodus a chapter boss, because he’s not the last one of the chapter. You don’t even fight Shadow Queen right after. Speaking of her, she has another theme when she becomes invincible and eats the audience to heal.

[@Lucca_Time]

First of all: I also don't REALLY hear a difference though there are definitely some SMALL changes. Secondly: Yeah I forgot the Queen's "Mid-Theme" but I wanted to put in Grodus since the player THINKS that he is going to be the Chapter Boss. I mean... There is literally NO CLUE AT ALL of there being a final boss. But yeah. It's hard to put those themes in context to one another. Cuz' there are many people having many different opinions. I already uploaded this medley again cuz' someone told me to put it that way - and yeah I agreed with them

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

@@Lucca_Time “No clue at all”? What about the answer to one of Tec’s questions for Peach in the quiz interlude?

[@CybeastID]

@@Lucca_Time > There is literally NO CLUE AT ALL of there being a final boss. I mean...besides the quiz about them trying to awaken an ancient demon. Anyone who's played an RPG knows that this kind of line isn't dropped for no reason, you *will* be fighting that thing eventually.

[@starberrysparkler]

From "least" favorite to favorite. I...definitely changed on some of these, it was like, 3 AM when I did this...: 11. Hooktail. It's a first boss theme, and those usually end up being the weakest ones to me (it's also my least favorite of the Three Dragons), but that's okay. For a game as staked in its ost as TTYDR, I don't mean that at all as an insult. 10. Blooper. Event Battle is such a catchy jam and I do enjoy it over Hooktail's theme. 9. Cortez. I think this one sounds ever so slightly weaker than its og counterpart, but the new addition manages to cancel that out for me. Even still, I'd probably still place it here. 8. Macho Grubba. I like just how...kinda gross it sounds, but it still manages to pump you up for a fight? Definitely fits for a character as despicable as Grubba, but it still managing to get you ready to rumble perfectly fits The Glitz Pit. 7. Grodus. Similar to what I said about Grubba, but electronical. Compared to Crump/Maguns Von Grapple's more silly themes, this one lacks absolutely any of that. Perfect for someone as no nonsense as Grodus. 6. Doopliss (1). Still just as great and the new addition really adds to the trollish edge this theme gives off. 5. Doopliss (2). Basically the same as one, but the new part sounds even better in this version. 4. Magnus Von Grapple. Damn, I really undersold this one... I liked the original theme just fine, but this version blows it out of the water! The new addition is what really pushes it here, I always hum along to it... 3. Smorgs. Ahh, it still sounds like a train! For such cute (creepy) little guys, their theme manages to be slightly silly, but overall menacing. And oh my gosh, I'm in love with the new part! 2. Magnus Von Grapple 2.0. The "new and improved" model absolutely deserved its own variant for the final bout with Crump, and it absolutely delievered. It's super fun! 1. Shadow Queen 1/2. I couldn't pick between the two, so I put them both at the top. Absolutely amazing final boss themes, and the new parts added elevate it even more for me!

[@Lucca_Time]

Thank you for your extremly detailed opinion! I TOTALLY understand this ranking!

[@maritoxico9982]

Why didn't you include the chapter 5 Crump fight? I think its a bit more than a miniboss

[@Lucca_Time]

@@maritoxico9982 Yeah I saw mixed reactions to it. I actually uploaded another version before this one and people said something like "I think it would be better if you only put 1 boss for each chapter" -> They wanted Crump out since Cortez SEEMED to be the "main objective" of the Chapter

[@Lucca_Time]

@@maritoxico9982 Though I totally understand your point 💯

[@hatbros4463]

I didn't know doopliss had two separate themes, they both sound the same

[@Lucca_Time]

They are actually quite different. Easiest way to com_are: Go to theme 1: Ski_ 20 seconds Go to theme 2: Ski_ 20 seconds The moment exactly 20 seconds into the theme is very different. It's VERY HARD to notice the difference otherweise. Quite awesome they _ut so much effort into the game to create two se_erate themes for Doo_lis.

[@Dusk2435]

Just going to say you skipped the Lord Crump fight music after Cortez even though it's a different track from Magnus Von Grapple, but included Grodus despite not being the chapter boss? I know Crump has like three themes but not including one is triggering me.

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah I didn't really know how to do that. Thousand Year Door is very "special" with the bosses. I just wanted to include one Boss per Chapter (with the finale being an extra section)... Since Cortez is way harder (in my opinion) I put him there since it was the "main goal" to defeat him in this chapter. Same with Grodus (kind of). That's why I put Lord Crump in the "Mini Boss Medley" Video linked in the description. Feel free to check it out! -------------------- But still... *cough* I messed it up and put him in first place there *cough* That was due to me thinking that the Boss Theme also played before Chapter 1 when encountering him the first time after arriving at Rogueport.

[@CybeastID]

@@Lucca_Time > Since Cortez is way harder (in my opinion) I put him there since it was the "main goal" to defeat him in this chapter. You didn't know you can use Gale Force to permanently disable his weapons in the final phase, did you?

[@Alpha-oo8]

He’s a follow up big question: are any of these a downgrade (in your opinions?)

[@Lucca_Time]

I personally think they're ALL an upgrade. Though that might also just be due to me liking heavy music SO MUCH!
