My Top 10 Wishes for Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

[@JoProGaming]

What about you??? What are you most hoping to see added or changed about the TTYD remake? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also, I'll be having a Paper Mario Month for the entire month of May with TWELVE Paper Mario videos coming out. Make sure to check back for that!

[@pro-toman]

My pie in the sky hope is the spin dash from Paper Mario 64. NEVER happening, but I really like the idea of changing soundtracks, preferably on the fly! I know I’ll buy the game anyway but please Nintendo, give it to me!

[@JoProGaming]

@@pro-toman Nice! I almost mentioned the spin dash but that didn't quite make it in. I'd love it though it is clear from the trailers that it isn't included already.

[@MondaGC]

Definitely want hard mode, maybe a 30 BP cap like PM64 too. Ms. Mowz needs a buff. Not sure how they're going to handle the backtracking but I hope they put labels or colors on the pipes if anything. Beyond that QOL things like more troubles and a quest list, cutscene skips, item carry limit being bigger at the start seem like obvious changes.

[@christophernorris1491]

Hopefully we'll get a remake of Super Paper Mario for the Switch 2 releasing in either Fall of 2026 or Spring of 2027

[@Christoph8]

The unused Dark Atomic Boo mini boss that may have been planned for Poshley Sanctum, as well as the unused enemy variations.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

To make the General White sidequest better: Put the removed cameos of the Paper Mario 1 partners back in the game! Each time you go to a previous area, you meet one of them and they can tell you a little story or something.

[@Christoph8]

YES

[@Christoph8]

Add low HP animations to all enemies and bosses (some enemies had unused ones in the original)

[@angelzavala2254]

That woupd be epic 😮

[@Cristeve]

Some footage shows Mario dealing 1 damage to Goombas and it doesn't seem they have a new animation :(

[@nothingtoreport1918]

I would love to have boss rematches like in the recent Super Mario RPG remake!

[@eric7798]

They could easily add that in the pit of 100 trials or add something in that vibe for bosses

[@dustymcwari4468]

@@eric7798 maybe they could rework the Glitz Pit so its a second pit where you face stronger variants of the major bosses of the game, with a new superboss at the top, like a Masters League Rather than just letting you refight Rawk Hawk over and over

[@bencarrington3743]

Bug Fables did it through a hologram simulator. Wondering how Thousand Year Door's remake could do it. Maybe TEC in the X-Naut Fortress can run a simulation or something.

[@bencarrington3743]

A big hope for me is that the Crystal Star cutscene can be skipped if you already died to the Shadow Queen once. Knocking out half her health, enduring her attacks for 3 turns, sitting through a very long (but admittedly awesome) cutscene and then fighting her at full health gets a little annoying if you keep dying against her.

[@booktubeadvocate]

I really want all these to happen! But at the same time I’m trying to keep my expectations low that this is just going to be a close to 1:1 remake and that’s it. It’s still a great game, but man, any added content would be so hype!

[@PopeDuwang]

We won’t get this but I’d love a secret boss of Prince Mush if we beat Rawk Hawk in both the Main Story and the Glitz Pit Round 2. Edit: Just saw #9. Maybe they could make it a New Post Game Trouble where you have to beat the Glitz Pit Round 2 and Rawk Hawk and the reward is to battle Prince Mush.

[@keleynal4424]

I have already bought it. I bought the moment I heard the opening notes on the direct. Everyone that owns a Switch needs this game. It’s required reading for all Nintendo fans.

[@JaydeSiegman]

Fully agreed, this game is something special

[@PatrickGilland]

If they add Prince Mush as a secret boss, they should give him an arrangement of The Master's boss theme.

[@lightninja4795]

They can fix the backtracking within the chapters by adding pipes. I think they added a pipe in Hooktail castle and if so that could lead back to the start of it. If it does then they can just add a warp pipe from flurry’s house to the entrance of boggle woods and one from twilight town to creepy steeple. They said they wanted to improve the backtracking and this is possible.

[@babydeer442]

I would love it, if they allowed you to choose your Yoshi color. I could see them just adding a quick question somewhere in chapter 3 of someone asking Mario, “What do you think it’s the best looking Yoshi color?” And then your answer is the Yoshi you get.

[@drock13]

Love how you brought up the selling aspect. Regardless of what goes on, as a consumer this is where we cast our vote, so it’s nice we finally get that opportunity to show them that a “return to form” is a winner because I was losing hope. Origami King was a step in the right direction but no where near close enough.

[@harvey1445]

We all dreamed for new episodes like TTYD but it never happened. This game has to sell like crazy and what we all need to do is talk about it as much as possible to the people around us, on the internet, make videos about it and buy the game new in store when it comes out 🤞

[@Susanpossibly]

All I want is for Ms Mows to get a buffed moveset. That’s all I need. She’s such a great character, and it’s a tragedy that she doesn’t have much of a purpose in battle.

[@dustymcwari4468]

I think she's supposed to be more support than offense, she can steal items and badges from enemies, she can make everyone dizzy, and she can straight up heal Mario, though one thing they could do is make the crowd be more hype when she's on stage, because she gives the least star power of all partners, unless that's supposed to be a joke, because her flirting often leaves people with very few words, the guys often dazed and confused, and the girls straight up hate her xd, or not sure if support/status moves in general give very little SP by default, oh and they should also fix the lil bug that happens if you recruit her before Bobbery, because when you do that, Bobbery's icon shows there instead of hers xd, which is a bit of a spoiler if yer playing the game for the first time full blind because you can also meet Bobbery before the map reveals the Sapphire Star Though maybe they should buff Koops and Flurrie a little

[@bencarrington3743]

Some dude apparently killed some of the hardest enemies and later Bonetail in the Pit of 100 Trials by using Ms Mowz

[@MercLazarus]

Unsimplifier is technically also a difficulty badge

[@Christoph8]

And Double Pain

[@quintavious2482]

Def not, unsimplifier grants extra star power which if you’re doing a pre hooktail pit run than the added star power per move is a huge benefit especially if you’re already used to being almost frame perfect with the action commands by default. It’s not like double pain grants you extra attack in addition to taking extra damage, it ONLY doubles your damage with no trade off

[@Croshau]

My top 5 things would be spin dash, paper luigi, post game bosses, a paper mario 64 badge and new/old partners added.

[@mirramirraonthewall]

I would enjoy seeing them add in a museum feature. It has been one of the better things they’ve added in recent games. I’m a sucker for concept art and if they can mix that with a reward system that would be a nice surprise.

[@danielvetencourt7586]

Duuuude I want this as well. Some sort of collectibles that gives us something new to look for as a reward or hidden objects

[@MinksAwakening]

New game plus and the ability to refight bosses are up there for me. Though I don't think it's likely.

[@fortello7219]

I could see Luigi's story being playable as pure boss fights that have dialogue in them. When you talk to him Mario would fall asleep and dream about the story he's hearing and have to experience the fight first hand

[@halfyou]

This would be a neat way to implement it! The nature of Luigi’s story is long-winded and unbelievable, so having only short snippets be playable in that same style would be really cool

[@pygmiegoatsheepbeat]

I'd like more games in the casino place. Ones you can use your partners in. Like, with Koops! You'd use his shell to go bowling! Flurrie you'd use her power to blow away the right panel to uncover one of three or whatever chests with a chance to win big or get nothing! Something for EVERY character. Yoshi kid? Get as far as you can as fast as you can by platforming from pole to pole. Fall down? You lose! Get to end you get a TON of money!

[@rabbidguarddog]

Playable Luigi content would be amazing, kinda sad that you just see Luigi coming in and out of Rogueport and you only get to read his story in a book. And on top of that most of his partners hate him.

[@kaiden2003]

I hope they include a music player that has songs from paper Mario 64 and maybe even super paper Mario, since one of the original songs was in the trailer

[@CR1MSONACE]

One idea I've had that I don't think anyone else has said, is if Luigi could join you after he finishes his adventures. There's tons of room for references and really cool interactions. Ideas: He starts with 4 attacks because after his adventure to get the marvellous compass, he's grown quite strong. He would be more of a tank like he is in the M&L games, let him use the thunderhand from Superstar Saga as a basic attack (Like Vivian's, because she's a ghost and he's cleared many mansions of ghosts, they both love Mario _(but obviously in different ways, Luigi's his _*_brother.),_* Luigi primarily wears green and Vivian wears a red hat) and the special moves are some of the Bros attacks (e.g Red Shell as the "Base rank" first attack, Fruit basket as the Ultra Rank) and some unique abilities (Using the Poltergust to knock an enemy back the others, summoning Gooigi like the substitute doll from pokemon) At the very least, give him a special reaction to each partner.

[@foxylegs]

It was fun to revisit this video after completing the remake. You were so right with a couple of these!

[@nickkayanek1773]

Shared this with the boys down at the factory and they got a good laugh out of it, great work Jerald

[@JelIyKing]

Trouble Center cant happen without a massive overhaul. When you accept a trouble, NPCs spawn/despawn. Items also can spawn/despawn. The way these interact would simply not be viable without fundamentally changing how the trouble center works. I'd rate this closer to a 5% or lower of happening

[@JoProGaming]

Why can't multiple NPCs or items spawn at once? Unless their locations conflict with one another. For those very few I agree.

[@jonahwebster6360]

​@JoProGaming Many of the NPC spawns conflict, if you understand how a flagging system in an RPG works it will be very apparent that you can't have multiple troubles active at once. The games flags cannot be in 2 states at once, it just doesn't work that way. Even modders and speedrunners come up against this hard wall

[@thenightmare9368]

I would like to see the Glitz Pit being revamped after Chapter 3 to be similar to Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 with the Olympus Colossuem or the Terrordome, where you have to face a few rounds of random enemies depending on the Chapter along with a boss at the final round with No Shop in between rounds, but you can Rest up and charge your SP. If you die or run away from battle, you have to start the whole cup again so you can't cheese the cup by healing yourself and Continuing. Another thing I'll add for every Cup is Missions/Achievements where if you perform a certain task in each round, you can double, triple or Quadruple the amount of Coins you earn after rounds. (Ex. Taking out a number of enemies in a single turn or Winning the entire cup without Items or Crystal Star Powers.) Only 3 Achievements per Cup and the Achievement will be harder to earn with each Cup and to spice up even more, the Achievements will also be Randomized for each attempt for extra replay value. Maximum amount will be 9 Cups and 1 or 3 Extra Cups for Post Game 1st Cup: Rougeport Cup 2nd Cup: Petalburg Cup 3rd Cup: Boggly Cup/Puny Cup 4th Cup: Glitz Cup 5th Cup: Twilight Cup 6th Cup: Keehaul Cup/Flavio Cup 7th Cup: Poshley Cup 8th Cup: Fahr Cup/X-Naut Cup 9th Cup: Shadow Cup (Boss will only be Gloomtail, not Shadow Queen.) 1st Extra Cup: Bowser Cup (Unlocked after defeating Bowser in Chapter 8) 2nd Extra Cup: Master Cup (Boss will be Bonetail and it will be Unlocked after Completing the Pit of 100 Trials.) 3rd Extra Cup: Mush Cup (Unlocked by Solving every Trouble in the entire game.)

[@RichardDong68]

I hope there's a way to customize Yoshi kid if you're not satisfied with his colors/hairstyle.

[@samvanroon5041]

if we do get some more to the Glitz Pit I hope we get a blast from the past with either Koopa Bro's showing up or Jr Troopa back for revenge. can you picture its the Rawk Hawk rematch about to start but Jr shows up and thrashes him like he did to the Koopa bro's or maybe an option to run the full gauntlet of the glitz pit with no breaks as a challenge or get some new badges that function as a handicap you can put on yourself, like berserker mario fights automatically,

[@JoProGaming]

These are all so amazing! Love the idea of the Glitz Pit being a gauntlet like Pit of 100 trials. And added bosses!

[@Katsi404]

I think chances are good that the Pit of 100 Trials is modified in some way, possibly with an Online Leaderboard. I'd love to see them add some replay potential to that part of the game, including a couple of extra Trouble missions, rewards, and maybe even a new Super Boss. Some new ways to change the experience on repeat runs would be cool.

[@lightninja4795]

There is a music change with the nostalgic tunes badge.

[@Killer-or3nb]

the one good fix for General White is if you know where is GW in advance you can skip the while goose chase

[@dustymcwari4468]

Tbh I don't think we need a third Shadow Sirens fight, Smorg is already the boss of that chapter, and the whole chapter is a race against Beldam to Poshley Heights, and she actually beats us and got there first, but in her haste she didn't realize she took a fake they had there for exhibit, and having the chapter boss be fought sooner is also very fitting for the star you get there, because it has a chance to instant kill enemies, aka, end things prematurely, much the same as you getting rid of the chapter boss earlier compared to the other ones that they spit the stars right after you beat them and mark the end of the chapter, and we refight the Shadow Sirens at the Shadow Palace anyways, fittingly after the Hooktail "rematch", and somewhere in the middle of the chapter, much the same as in Chapter 2 Though Prince Mush becoming the new postgame champion would be awesome as hecc, especially if they make him a bit of a callback to the Master, heck they could even add a reference like Mush possibly being one of his former students at one point or he being a fan And I really really hope we get boss rematches where they're much stronger for post game, the SMRPG remake did it, and the Mario & Luigi games have been doing it since BiS, would be cool if they add them to TTYD as well

[@aaronTGP_3756]

I hope there's at least 2 million sales, to surpass the original. Preferably more than 3.5 million to surpass the Origami King.

[@nomo4u886]

The hype is real!!

[@starlord8739]

Maybe I’m just crazy but I’d love to see a Paper Mario 64 remake soon possibly why they remade a couple songs…

[@CaelenSawyers]

I'm all for a new paper mario in the future but can we yoink a wind waker switch remake first? Then I could die happy

[@dummigamer6378]

Prince mush but is a extra character you cab add to your party

[@rendumguy7596]

I'm a little worried that it's just an exact remake with a few QoL features, since they haven't revealed any new content at all, and the game's a month away. I'd be disappointed if the game has no new content, since most Switch remakes have at least a few new things in them. I think a Paper Luigi mode is only a pipe dream because they'd need to make a lot of new character and level assets, but Bowser's Fury, Bowser's Minions, and Bowser Junior's Journey, show that it's not unreasonable for remakes and ports to have brand new modes, and the Mario and Luigi remakes even have really long new modes, despite having simple gameplay.

[@JoProGaming]

I think the WiiU ports tended to get a lot of new modes and features to encourage double dipping from those who purchased them on the WiiU. Especially since the games weren't old enough to warrant a re-release otherwise. As for TTYD, I'd agree it is just QoL but then what is that new Toad doing in Glitzville? I expect we'll get an overview trailer next week and know for sure!

[@rendumguy7596]

I also mentioned the 3DS Mario and Luigi remakes, which got entire new, long sidemodes. I'm hoping that the new Purple Toad means there'll be new content, but so many people seem to be fine with no new content, and think the game won't have any, that it kind of makes me feel like they don't need to add any to get people to buy it. Personally I think the game should have substantial new content, but a lot of people are fine without it.

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

Nintendo has already said there will be some sort of new content. I wish they could reveal it already...

[@rendumguy7596]

Yeah, they did say that, I forgot lol. It's just kind of weird that they haven't revealed anything a month from release. Guess we just have to be patient.

[@CR1MSONACE]

If there is a Luigi side mode and it uses the battle system from the Mario & Luigi games, they've won Game of The Year already.

[@CR1MSONACE]

14:35 You can get into a fight with a bunch of toads in the train section of colour splash. They just beat Mario to death, though (Someone's wife left him and everyone else is also annoyed from the wait).

[@AlbertoGC9]

Probably something everybody has thought about, but I'd love new partner(s) to be added to the game. I believe there's a really low chance of this happening, but maybe through the addition of new troubles like Ms. Mowz?

[@jlocke2171]

I feel the same way about the back tracking. The only section I hate is general white just because it's boring. I would like something to make it feel better

[@quintavious2482]

I bet if we did see the boss in riverside station it would be junior troopa

[@noirlexx]

something that makes me a little sad is that they traded off the map aesthetics from what i’ve seen.. (like the resource bars in battle in the top of the screen) i hope that they have added a bit more of that into the menu section or made that appear more gameboyish/switchesk

[@gintoki4838]

1.) Any new badges are appreciated, I’d take some new emblems which would be nice for cosmetics. 2.) Another Pit of trials where you fight a gauntlet of the game’s bosses but harder and maybe one new move for each boss to mix it up. 3.) New game plus is the dream albeit unlikely. I agree with hard mode, please Nintendo. 4.) A Return Pipe of sorts that takes you back to beginning of whatever location you are in, for example, in Keyhaul Key cave? Use the Return Pipe to make it to the front of the inn or something to that effect. If not then make it fun and give us spin dash badge. All in all that fact this remake exists is enough for me. I’m gonna be happy with whatever I end up with, cant wait!

[@Keitoded]

I have a great idea to fix the backtracking issue, for normal gameplay and troubles. The Return Pipe. This was in Super Paper Mario, it let you warp back to Flipside whenever you wanted. Frankly could give you it after he gives you Power Smash. Now I recognize that would sometimes cause issues in this game, with Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7, but maybe it could just be disabled in those sections? Like SPOILERS!!! Maybe Doopliss steals it from Mario or it acts like the normal pipe in chapter 4 that won't work without your name. Maybe in Chapter 5, it gets lost in the shipwreck and then Cortez mentions he found the strange pipe treasure after you get back to Rougeport and gives it back. In chapter 7, perhaps the moon is too far away for the pipe to work. They'd have to add simple triggers before stuff like Koops asking to join you and the Shadow Sirens fight, but I don't think it'd be terribly difficult to include, and it'd make going to Glitzville, Fahr Outpost, and Twilight Town way more bearable.

[@joeygoat06]

11:16 it’s a remake, not a remaster If you’re wondering what the difference is, a remaster is basically just a port with enhanced graphics (like windwaker HD). A remake is completely recreating a game from the ground up rather than working with the exact same assets (like Super Mario 64 DS as an example).

[@JoProGaming]

I think I usually called it a remake except the once when I accidentally said remaster.

[@joeygoat06]

@@JoProGaming sorry, I didn’t notice. I love your ideas btw

[@DaBaseBallZ]

1-More options for increasing movement speed other than Yoshi would be helpful with this 2-Along with that,it would be cool if there were more troubles with better rewards,because trouble centre reward aren't very worth it 3-Maybe a badge that increases enemy health would be good,another to prevent you from gaining star points or maybe a badge that makes superguarding cost star power,who knows?there are many ways they could add badges that make the game harder 4-That is DLC territory,that would be awesome to add 5-Maybe something similar to the concept of the pit of 100 trials could do this,a diffrent pit that allows you to fight harder versions of everyboss you've already beaten,and adding good rewards to match them would be golden 6-Low cost,high reward,i see no reason for nintendo not to do this 7-Would be cool,but very unlikely 8-same as 7,cool but unlikely 9-A prince mush fight would definitely be swag 10-Exactly,This game MUST seal amazingly so that nintendo knows we like this and not sticker star Personally,i'd like many more badges and lowering the BP cap and more side quests and optional bosses and new areas,now that would be amazing

Just 1 thing to say... Partner quick swap in the overworld.

[@PapaLuigi9003]

there's already a hotkey for the partner menu on the d pad

[@cullenlatham2366]

#9 sparked something for me. The glitz pit is the perfect place to get new and remixed battle content. Prince mush replacing rawk hawk in the rematch? nah. Prince mush being the champion of the "old veteran's league"? hell yes. Want to stretch it? "mushroom kingdom league" refight all the bosses from the first paper mario will all the QoL of TTYD and the new partners. How would lava piranha work, for example? From there, if we want to continue our pipe dream, it can unlock the partners from the original paper mario. "rouge's rouge league" standard boss rush of ttyd. (no scaling) couldnt help myself with the name. XD "Wrathful rogues" ttyd boss rush, but harder and with remixed attacks. (Scaling) "journey of luigi" Fight all of luigi's "partners", ending with a fight against luigi (or doopless luigi). "Koopa Kingdom Gauntlet" fight bowser's army, potentially including a few call backs to the original paper mario's grunts that didnt return, ending with a bowser/kammy fight. "Depths of the shadows" fight a truncated version of the pit of 100 trials, containing only the enemies exclusive to the pit, but no bonetail (save that for the pit itself). Instead, give us the shadow sirens (including vivian and doopless) individually as midpoints and all together as the boss. "Deep pockets" a gimmick gauntlet where every enemy is carrying something and will use it liberally if it can be used. Miss Mouse or kiss thief banned. "Dont use items" will always show up as the extra challenge, potentially alongside another modifier. Solo Cups for each partner and mario "Show Stealer" only appeal, defend, and specials are allowed. "Blunt Force" Hammer, bobbery, and Koops only "Jackhammer" Jump, goombella, and yoshi only "turncoats" Solo mario, gauntlet consists of all partners in the game, maybe even those from the original paper mario if they can differentiate most of them from their ttyd upgrades. Add in luigi's "partners" if "journey of luigi" or a luigi side mode makes the extra content list. "Amazee Crayzee" Only amazee daisy and crazy dazee variants appear, but waves are not scripted. sometimes you'll face 2 dazees, sometimes you'll face 2 amazees, sometimes it will be one of each, but in all cases, it is the same match. quantity and chance of amazees increases as you progress. Themed enemy gauntlets like only clefts ending with an un-gimmicked armored harriers fight.

[@JoProGaming]

So much potential!

[@NCDude5023]

My wants for TTYD Remake are that there will be Gamecube Controller Support, That the Heart Blocks that heal HP & FP will require No money whatsoever, and maybe some new badges that will maybe make Mario run faster even before you get your yoshi kid partner.

[@tetermc]

#1 the 60fps mod for emulator

[@fortello7219]

My biggest hope is that they revamp Ms Mouze to be earlier in game. Personally I imagine she'd be a temporary companion in chapters 2 & 3 & 4, for temporary segements. Then you can personally unlock her just before Chapter 5.
