Interesting Paper Mario Observations (time travel, crashes, cloned partners, glitches, camera hacks)

Here are some interesting observations, glitches, and crashes in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64, including time travel, cloned partners, and camera hacks. Some of these come from hacking the game, camera, or memory, but there are also insane things you can do by just playing Paper Mario on your console. Some of these observations also crash Paper Mario and result in softlocks.
Almost all of this footage came from several weeks of experimenting with Paper Mario, and you can follow me on Twitch to watch this kind of stuff live: / zxmany

The way Paper Mario was coded left a lot of interesting glitches in the game that players can exploit, including taking advantage of the game's collision properties to get out of bounds and traverse the map in interesting ways.
In this video, we start by investigating time travel in Paper Mario and the consequences of time travel. We take advantage of glitches like the famous Blue House Skip to travel time. The Blue House Skip allows a player to skip to Chapter 5 of the game. Combined with the log skip, a player can skip the ending of Chapter 1 and go straight to Chapter 5. Peach Warp is another interesting glitch that can be used to skip the Chapter 5 boss, most of Chapter 6, and all of Chapter 7. Earlier events in the game can update the game's story progress address to bring you back in time, and using later events, you can travel back to the future.
We edit values of addresses in the game's memory and explore what happens if we do things such as drop Mario's HP to 0, enter a battle with 0 HP, mess around a lot with the final boss, Bowser, and prologue Bowser, and find out if Bowser with the Star Rod really is invincible, and play as Princess Peach in places where you should be Mario.
A huge thank you to Rain from the Paper Mario Modding Discord server for showing me how to use some of these tools and giving me a bunch of addresses in the RAM with their effects! The Paper Mario Modding Discord here: / discord
Also a big thank you to Imglower and his Paper Mario glitch tutorial videos, which taught even me how to do things like Peach Warp and Log Skip! / @imglower | / imglower

Almost all of this footage came from several weeks of experimenting with Paper Mario on my Twitch livestreams (and some extra clips that I filmed when offline) We're playing through Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door live tonight, and we're at Glitzville, one of my favourite levels! I'd love if you could stop by and say hi if you enjoyed this video :) www.twitch.tv/zxmany

Ok

@Tiger Art Oh my goodness, that sounds like it could be so difficult but I love the idea a lot!

[@Sevsuperslow]

Bro please keep doing this your cool asf

[@FanofGuardianTales]

Hacking Paper Mario crashes Paper Mario. Obtaining star points Paper Mario crashes Paper Mario. As Stryder teached me everything crashes Paper Mario, however now there is you, and I have to thank you for making me remember of him with this video. Thanks, keep up the good work.

[@ZXMany]

Thanks so much! Stryder's videos are amazing, I really hope we can see more from him soon :) I'm sometimes surprised when I find something that *doesn't* crash Paper Mario

[@duckgrow]

Great vid man. I remember doing some of these in the streams

[@ZXMany]

Yeah, this was so much fun to explore! Thanks so much for being there :)

[@levthelion71810]

“Goombairio” it’s pronounced like goomba-Mario. One of his relatives reveals it.

[@Luis-xj8el]

Since strider left and I met You, now You are mi favorite paper Mario youtuber

[@ZXMany]

I really appreciate that, that's an honour, thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the content I have :) Stryder's videos are fantastic

[@markp6084]

This video is a surprise out of nowhere and I am very grateful. This was very entertaining to watch. Thank you.

[@ZXMany]

Really glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the very kind comment!

[@oimenamesrick]

5:33 Goombario is lost in time. (He might be a clone from the future after you cloned them before).

[@ZXMany]

That's a very good point, I don't know what timeline he's living in. I don't know what timeline he thinks he's living in!

[@eddygamer123]

I love this game. Interesting to see come cool hacks and exploits.

[@ZXMany]

Yeah, there's so much to explore in the game and so many mind-blowing glitches, it's amazing!

[@duckgrow]

I love these glitches!

[@ZXMany]

Thanks for the comment!

[@erincordova1271]

Seeing this video compareing new videos is wow

[@Sevsuperslow]

How did you do the blue house skip without jumping?

[@jonathanhowells7864]

After watching Book of Mario (Paper Mario google translated) it's weird to see the original text or, anyone else feel this way

[@ZXMany]

Book of Mario is so hilarious! I haven't seen the full game, but I literally cry laughing from what I've seen

[@jonathanhowells7864]

I would recommend watching Fatguy703 for the lore and he created the first two

[@ZXMany]

@@jonathanhowells7864 Thanks for the suggestion! I'm really looking forward to playing all of them because I want to experience them, the little bit I have seen is so hilarious

[@jackhamilton0215]

I wish there was a n64 Nintendo switch online so I could play this game

[@ZXMany]

Yeah, I'd really recommend playing it if you could ever get a hold of it, it's a really good game!

[@manfredjohnson627]

Hello from the future.

[@loadventureslife5090]

No Bad Dog

[@liamdelaportilla9042]

funn fact when i use cheats in the first fight to add hammer and jump boots the added items dont work except for the jump boots there just same as basic boots and them when i do a strike when he has the star rod it just shows emptiness cuasing a softlock

[@liamdelaportilla9042]

oh so red boots are basic boots so i guess jump boots dont work

[@fishyaustin3350]

This is cool

[@ZXMany]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OrangeStaringCat]

Haha this is great

[@ZXMany]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for checking it out!

[@pamsmith9669]

I like this I've never played paper mario 64 only with emulators

[@ZXMany]

It's a really fun game! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@AltoXorg]

i also never played paper mario 64 on a real console because i dont have one

[@KingdomHeart556]

There’s really nothing quite like the original n64 experience. There’s an issue one way or another with any emulation attempt.

[@liamdelaportilla9042]

what if doing it in japanese does the bug text (this message shouldn't appear, if it does tell me right away.)

[@bandit024]

Invisible walls ur cool

[@msrayni]

zxmany please play sonic forces

[@pamsmith9669]

How they find the double cherry?

[@ZXMany]

Do you mean why are there two of Princess Peach? One of them is actually Princess Peach, the other one is Mario, but the game's memory was edited to make Mario play as Princess Peach, which normally only happens during the cutscenes where you play as Peach

84th comment hahaha lolol

[@estevaokopschitzxavierbast4555]

Hey, I actually found a weird glitch in TOK (The Origami King). It happened randomly. I clearly selected the boots weapon after lining up the enemies but instead Mario used the hammer. Even the icon showing what action you're using had the boots icon, but also "hammer" written on it.

[@ZXMany]

Oh wow that's really interesting, weird that that happened. I've only had stuff like that happen when messing with the game's memory

[@chrisw9436]

Doing basically anything crashes the game.

[@Thebestriftgamer]

Kinda

[@CesarTorres61296]

Fun Fact: Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry have Dialogue for meeting Luigi before Chapter 2 is cleared.

[@EB07]

I really enjoy watching your videos! Paper Mario has a special place in my heart :) Keep up the good work! I would really love to see more videos about Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario TTYD.

[@ZXMany]

Thanks so much for the kind comment, really glad you enjoy it! I feel the same way about Paper Mario 64 (and TTYD), I grew up with the games and loved them so much. We're definitely going to be seeing more videos from those games in the near future!

[@skimbeeble8115]

If Bowser was invincable at the beginig of the game he could be a one man army

[@ZXMany]

At the very end I think he actually becomes invincible, but I'll have to do some more experimenting!

[@booky9714]

pog

[@paperbox1799]

Let’s go, I helped this vid

[@ZXMany]

Yeah! Appreciate all the suggestions for being walked through a bunch of the glitches, thank you!

[@idioticlight]

Poor paper mario

[@Zombiner]

Bowser wins by doing absolutely nothing. Luigi will be proud of him.

[@ZXMany]

Brilliant! 😂

[@pamsmith9669]

The one dislike is a sonic fan

[@thomaseckersley1685]

I have this game however im using a emulator on my computer

[@weirdcat3282]

So bowser IS invincible in the first fight, he crash’s you.
