Thanks for posting the music! It's always a small thing I have with some videos so it's great to see!

Pretty good taste aside from a couple of misses.

[@WilfredCthulu]

"Bro just superguard."

[@renanmarcilio4677]

"It's free, bro"

[@metalmagerin3]

"Bro just press B"

[@bestaround3323]

I think the issue is he just isn't skilled enough for it

[@ThePondermatic]

@@bestaround3323 He said outright at the beginning of the video that he wasn't allowing super guards because they would have made the video uninteresting. 1:33

[@bestaround3323]

@@ThePondermatic ...that's the joke

[@AidanWR]

While it wasn't directly stated, it was indirectly stated why Damage Dodge is worse. The interaction with Last Stand is why. In 64, Damage Dodge triggers after Last Stand, so if it reduces the damage to 1, Damage Dodge makes it 0. In TTYD, that's not the case

[@DannyCheezits]

Damage Dodge is outclassed by locating the B button on your controller and pressing that instead

[@zsasha2004]

It was directly stated tho

[@MarioMastar]

Actually the real reason he calls out Damage dodge in particular is because of the piercing damage moves. If you can't defend you can't get the benefit of damage dodge. Though he didn't mention it, he kind of made the point clear when he mentioned "In PM 64, Bowser couldn't pierce and defense was a straight reduction, now almost all the end game bosses pierce defense..." Just have to remember what he said about Damage dodge. Also Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 is similar, he explicitly says "But he has no defense piercing moves, meaning we get +6 defense out the gate" as the first battle has that quake move which can't be guarded.

[@aedaniammx7559]

52:34 Okay, the Shadow Queen saying “What? You HURT me?” moments before being totally and utterly obliterated feels like something out of a movie

[@SuperAwesomePerson64]

I didn't think you'd be able to do the pit or the shadow queen. Shouldn't have doubted you, holy crap. Those strategies you used were wild. You should do more videos like these, the way you make and edit them is very entertaining

[@The-Omega-Blade]

TTYD is a very unhinged game in terms of crazy strats, you can 1 round almost everything in the game if you spend enough time doing setups/ glitches/ farming...

[@ShyGuyXXL]

Wait what? I've known this game since I was a little kid but I've never known you could attack Grodus' wand! That's crazy!

[@marcopereira1735]

Same. I was today years old when I learned.

[@griffinbaker-royo1209]

I've done six playthroughs of ttyd including as an adult and even did an itemless challenge run, but I never knew that either

[@MarioMastar]

There are ton of little secrets like that, most people didn't even know about badge farming when it first came out and even then not every badge effect stacks like you'd expect (or they don't stack in ways you'd expect, stacking item hog, heart finder, flower finder and money money all cancel each other out, it just manpiulates the odds of getting one of the four drops relative to each other and while 32 is the max number of units that can drop, item hog is more the chance an item drops period and is based on the type and number of enemies you defeated, but item hog only affects the odds an item WILL drop period, not the odds you get an item from the enemies.) Same for how much the dodge badges stack their bonuses to make Mario nearly unhittable. It's pretty cool how indepth things are. Just a shame it's all overkill even to casual players. Hope the remake makes a challenge mode.

[@Polarthief]

Both damageless videos were great. Can't wait to see a damageless video for the third Paper Mario RPG we get in the future.

[@MarioMastar]

I genuinely don't know if it's possible to beat Sticker Star, or Origami king damageless, but I know Color Splash is impossible due to the nature of the final battle. The only "Thing card" that can one shot bowser is the card that you get after beating him, his own castle, and defense cards will prevent Huey from absorbing the black paint so he'll just heal himself like he does when he hits you normally. I think Mizztar Blizzard in Sticker Star being the only boss who's immune to being crumpled was proven possible to beat damageless, but I think you need a damage sponge for one turn cause of his multi phase battle structure. and Origami King.... that's impossible. I just remembered the bosses will hit you guaranteed as they're more puzzle based and thus no strategy can beat them damageless. Just leaves Super paper mario which should be relatively easy damageless, just "don't get hit" (and spam blocky blocks). Though a minimum damage run would still be interesting for the second set of PM games. Namely Color Splash.

[@sethstersbench]

@@MarioMastarSticker Star is actually impossible due to Snifit or Whifit. Color Splash meanwhile is impossible because of the literal first battle.

[@CR1MSONACE]

BUg fables

[@qwantom1]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@MarioMastari would imagine the bigger problem for a super paper Mario run would be how grindy it would be since block blocks can only be purchased once flopside is unlocked and save points can be tedious to go back to repeatedly for some levels

[@rorbee]

I am so glad you showed off a lot of creativity in this run, many challenge runs tend to take the easiest way out, which doesn't always pan out great for the viewer experience. Loved the gags, went back to replay that spicy pasta ending lmao

[@MarioMastar]

I'll admit when he did the danger mario segment I was like "Hold on.... you're not going to..." but he stood by his pride and didn't. I recall he also didn't in PM64 despite mentioning it as he wanted to show every fight (including Master 3) is possible without it and he stated that "If I lower my health to 5 that technically isn't "taking damage", but it IS reducing my health so therefore...it's taking damage) and thus banned it. I really love the integrity of his run. That's what top tier paper mario gameplay looks like. Strategizing, not watching a video or hearing about a strat and suddenly becoming an expert. XD (Gosh can't wait for the remake to come out.....)

[@aurastrike]

Pros for using Super Macho Man's voicelines and music during Macho Grubba's fight. Fits right in,

[@MarioMastar]

The "You can't AFFORD these sunglasses" earned the like on it's own. XD That was absolute ace!

[@umbreonespeon0902]

the studiopolis "lights camera action" is fucking perfect for the glitz pit love it

[@MarioMastar]

The music choices through the whole video (including Sticker Star and Origami King music) was absolute respect! Made me genuinely wonder how the music is going to upgrade when the remake comes out cause with new instruments and quality I'm sure they can push out some mad bangers.

[@umbreonespeon0902]

@@MarioMastar that’ll be fuckin sick to hear when it comes out the macho grubba fight is a banger already

[@jamawama297]

13:51 haha Grubbas dialogue

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

14:34 "Since this is an unofficial match, you can just turn the- ITEM." Guys, I think this run is spliced.

[@kingdyste5289]

I think more than anything I appreciate seeing a lot of weird interactions within the game and how certain bosses act. It's far more interesting tackling these challenges in this way instead of just Superguarding everything.

[@Ihazkirbro]

When Grubba said "eat sh*t" I felt that.

[@HappySmilesInc]

Did Fatguy photoshop multiple frames to get that in there? Or did he import a single line from TTYD Repainted without importing all the insane textures at the same time, just so he could record that clip? I’d honestly give him insane props if it was the latter.

[@Keitoded]

Did not make the Macho Grubby/Super Macho Man connection before, very clever :)

[@modenoatr]

13:53 You know, I get the feeling that isn't the original text. Just a hunch, really.

[@fireball54110]

You think so?

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

Dude, the music choices in this video are SO GOOD (And you're awesome for putting them all in a pinned comment) This video must've taken ages to edit, but it was so worth it, this was such an entertaining watch from start to finish. I could completely see myself coming back to it when I'm bored and just want a good video to watch

[@kevlap017]

Today I learned status are way more OP than I thought for bosses and that you can attack grodus' wand. that's awesome

[@jedprice7002]

The long-awaited sequel…and it did not disappoint!

[@larhyperhair]

i really love this video, usually you just sweep through bosses in your challenge runs, and i often also just kinda cruise through everyone except the shadow queen and Smorg, so i really dig how this video effectively deep dives the aspects of bosses most people wouldn't know about, for instance i had no idea krump could act through status in the three-match? thats wild

[@Slenderquil]

I remember having my mind blown when I first learned about the Grodus weakness. It's so fun to cheese him with it now. Thank you fire drive

Great video man! Super interesting, and easy to watch! Even though i love these challenge runs in a single episode, i also love the usual video series with the gang. There is an unexplainable charm watching all of you gather in a discord call and talk about random stuff while watching you play, that's why i've been watching since pro mode. Love your stuff man PD: Merry Christmas and happy new year to all of you!

[@thedoc3727]

Holy hell that fight against Bonetail was insane, I thought for sure you wouldn't be able to best him

[@MarioMastar]

Just surprised he even did it in the first place and as legitimately as possible (without danger mario or luck shenanigans). I thought he was just going in to get Fire drive and would peace out, but bro said he'd run a mile and did the whole marathon!

[@hibye4062]

For the first Lord Crump battle, couldn't you have just attacked him then guarded? Why did you need to allow super guards for that one fight?

[@kingdyste5289]

I'm pretty sure he didn't NEED to, he was just proving a point on why Superguard would be broken for this challenge so banned it for the remainder of it.

[@MarioMastar]

Cause everyone knows the fight is scripted and impossible to lose, there's literally no reason not to just get it out of the way. He actually super guarded as the ONLY way to do damage to him to make it a bit more interesting but it was blink and you miss it, so he still got entertainment+ equipped.
