N64 Paper Mario - Intro

[@Ravel327]

This game was a huge huge portion of my childhood, along with Banjo-Kazooie.

[@milostodorovic69]

Yes bro I actually love the game banjo tooie that was my favorite I might buy it again but it's like 100 bucks

[@zg3671]

Same, those and Diddy Kong racing, star fox and Nascar 2000s.

[@AdamKallibjian]

whats amazing is that in this 100MB (or whatever the size of the file is) is more entertainment value than a lot of 60GB+ triple A games today. A testament to this game!

[@ShiryuGL]

32 MB if my memory* serves me correctly. (*not a pun!)

[@tristanweide]

@@ShiryuGL Yep, 32MB. They used an absolutely massive 256 megabit cartridge for this game, which was the second biggest size they had

[@FrostNapCat]

Super Mario 64 has 5 MB. Crazy! Even just one picture of a high quality phone's camera (like mine) needs a way lot more memory space

[@LeGamerduNordOuest]

The magic of Nintendo! 😁

[@djhero0071]

There's something just adorable and charming as fuck about the early Paper Mario titles.

[@ilovewallacebuthategromit]

This is what i absolutely love about the original Paper Mario, it's "childish" without being condescending, it just has a childlike innocent charm that even adults can fall in love with

[@therandomchannel-cr7ox]

@@ilovewallacebuthategromit no it is condescending the only reason you like it as an adult now is cause you grew up with it

[@metalgamer1416vamoscontodoXD]

@@therandomchannel-cr7ox what if someone who neve play it before has that same feeling? i find it magical as an fairy tail and i play it recently since as kid i couldnt get an game or console as kid DX

[@BLARGHALT]

Paper Mario taught me the harsh lesson of never, ever lending a cartridge-based RPG to a friend if said friend has a younger brother.

[@doleluv01]

What happened

[@JacobFoust]

Blarghalt he broke it!

[@Melvinnnnnnnn]

Duuuuude me 2, i lended it to a "friend" just to discover that he made it burn for insane keep playing it man, it took me 8 fvckin goddamn years buy it again for the N64, even tho the wii was already on sale, this was my chilhood, i couldn't just let it go without buying it again, but most important, never trust in anybody 😢 (Sorry 4 my bad english)

[@xXSpongeBroBrownPantzXx]

Blarghalt oh god what did he do

[@MP-mc7bs]

Blarghalt lol

[@platformerking5678]

My most favorite rpg of all time

[@Daoriginal123]

I miss playing this game soo much 😩

[@tianabailey894]

This actually made me cry it reminded me of when I never felt sad. I miss my childhood🥺

[@ShiryuGL]

I hear ya...

[@therandomchannel-cr7ox]

Or at least not As SAD

[@ClassicToonFan64]

It's sweet how in the end, it shows Peach in the balcony, waiting for her knight in blue overalls. Thanks for the video.

[@Andrew-ww1hz]

An enchanting opening for one of the most memorable rpgs!

[@zantku]

This theme popped back up in my head after probably 17 years since I played this game and I couldn't get it out of my head! Now I can sleep now that I heard it again!

[@stickmaster546]

The best game known to man.

[@therandomchannel-cr7ox]

That would go to Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast

[@davidworks1036]

One of the best games ever made.

[@therandomchannel-cr7ox]

Probably

[@dimensionalx4617]

🤨

[@DreadclawDragodon]

Could you imagine if this style of mario was in the super mario maker

[@eliudvazquez4478]

You still alive?

[@lynetterigsby1086]

Dude, yas

[@EpictoneJuker]

Still alive here👍

[@gaelquintanaromero1900]

Still alive

[@sorakh2070]

This game literally taught me how to read

[@MP-mc7bs]

02:15-02:25 I want that as my alarm

[@SVDAO]

DUDE YES

[@OMGWTFROFLCOPTERBBQ]

Is it wrong that this made me tear up? It sums up all of my memories of this game perfectly.

[@DilutedJuice]

The Paper Mario series has always been one of the most graphically orignal and creative games in my opinion. The idea and how well it has been carried out has never been a half effort job. A Nintendo orignal they should truely be proud of.

[@reddodeado301]

So. It's been a decade. Are you dissapointed in the path Paper Mario has taken recently?

[@milostodorovic69]

@@reddodeado301 yes

[@pepinos729]

The first comment on this video lol

[@Hmbs271]

2:02 It's played on an emulator since the road is only purple, probably the wii vc seeing that it is from 2007

[@ShiryuGL]

You are correct.

[@Kayla-111]

this made me emotional 🥺 I couldn’t picture it at all, but I knew I loved this game when I was very young & it just pulled alllll the old dusty memories from my brain

[@superethan]

I remember playing this on virtual console on wii u. So good

[@Ashmelobotomi]

To think it wasn't even a retro game when this video was published... It's amazing...

[@gerardosaenz9496]

Happy 23rd Anniversary Paper Mario.

[@Chaofanatic]

Crudely taping kammy into the story is so hilarious. Thats why I love paper mario. It keeps you laughing.

[@taleseylad1249]

I like the artstyle. so cute and gimmicky

[@Rm-ip8wm]

one of my favorite game ever

[@TheMarioGamer-hs7im]

Although I have not played this game yet it is one of my favorite Paper Mario games alongside with Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

[@Judgement29]

One of the best games ever created. I LOVED IT!@! I remember I could never get up to the 3rd star spirit, so I'd just quit and start a new game. Until one day, I got past the forever forest and WOULD NOT stop playing the game,

[@Hovergoat_Guy]

My very first experience with this game was yesterday, with Nintendo Switch Online. I believe I see what the hype is about.

[@MoltandMigrate]

You're in for such a treat! I grew up with this game, so I do have nostalgia goggles, but it's a fun one with loads of personality. My favourite form of Mario will always be flat.

[@Hovergoat_Guy]

@@MoltandMigrate A treat it was. I gotta get back on it.

[@brandonwilliams6119]

I would love a remake of this but with a connection to Thousand Year Door, after you finish 64, Thousand Year Door begins! It would be the best of both worlds and how cool would it be if we could take the 64 Partners along on the Thousand Year Door Quest!

[@bombabombom3603]

I haven't played TTYD in a while after beating it, but doesn't the original characters appear in the game as NPCs after you finish?

[@infernosam2117]

Bow does, but other than her no one else appears as NPCs.

[@SaturnDX1]

Ok but like the title screen startup sound gives me straight chills

[@wiiviewsnumba1fan]

I love that tune at 2:15

[@DiggyNutz]

I will never forget it. It fits so perfectly!!!

[@neomarseiler1955]

I became this game today on christmas, thank you jens and mom...

[@GamingFanactic911]

Paper Mario 64 HD PLZZZZ!

[@Nulltank]

why am I crying so hard :') ? Happy 20th Birthday to this gem.

[@BladeofmoonlightKitto]

Our nostalgia for this game comes with the memory of some comfy night long ago without a single worry on our minds, It's more than just a game for us it represents a comfort that is not able to be repeated, "Innocence".

[@zackyvwasin339]

TBH, this game was one of the best game ever made, I play it since I was very young and still comes back to play it from times to times

[@therandomchannel-cr7ox]

@@BladeofmoonlightKitto pretty much

[@xylopiano3]

The intro music is based on the song "Inchworm" sung by Danny Kaye. Or at least, it sounds almost exactly like it.

[@molhal]

Am I the only one really surprised with the music at 1:22? For me I've only ever heard the part at 1:36 start at that point, meaning what actually did play there is a bit of the song I've never heard...Considering how it sounds like it would still keep going, that makes me wonder how long that actually is, and what it all sounds like

[@samuelmena4889]

I'm not gonna lie, I feel like the footage captured is of the PAL release of Paper Mario, which would cause the video to progress much slower then the American NTSC version release of Paper Mario. I noticed almost immediately that many of the video cues don't line up with the music in this video.

[@samuelmena4889]

Nevermind. Someone said it's virtual console which explains the music and video not being matched up

[@fuzy2449]

I would get that feeling at 1:36. I don't know if the music is different on other versions but the Bowser part on PAL 64 always sounded cut off...

[@Rayquaza1090]

Nostalgia...

[@CutieGirl-ot7uy]

Que recuerdos....

[@diehard99]

great stuff!

[@paulschlacter3806]

even as a kid I had some pretty awesome strategy

[@KaiBaXe]

My favorite Mario game by far. TTYD and Super Paper Mario mean absolutely nothing compared to this.

[@milostodorovic69]

TTYD was awesome but super paper Mario was eh

[@vatojurado3705]

TTYD is great too

[@Vendetta162X]

This game easily has more personality and charm than thousands of the most recently released games.

[@jessed1728]

3:02 HOW did he got parakarry in chapter 1!.......HOW!!!! Its been haunting me.....

[@_SioLina_]

he Didnt probably those are the developers playing and testing the game

[@jessed1728]

Seems like it....this haunted me as a child XD

[@Melvinnnnnnnn]

Senior Potato Same, never realizing it could be the final beta test or something like that

[@NorthernWind0]

I mean technically you can actually retrigger the prologue using a glitch at any point, so you can get parakarry at any point.

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

What if they just went back there for some reason after getting him?

[@doctorpolygon8726]

This (alongside WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase) were the first things I downloaded on the Wii shop channel years ago. I don't regret it one bit. RIP: My first Wii

[@SuperMarioTony]

I miss the Wii shop channel. In fact the Wii shop channel is what introduced me to Paper Mario.

[@shonw2318]

1:00 OMG SCOTCH TAPE!

[@zealkurusuthegatorman5439]

2:15 Skip here if you want to see Mario in action!

[@aeroblu2002]

I personally find this game to be better than Thousand Year Door.

[@manemanen]

does anyone know how to get parrakarry before beating koopa bros? i know its possible i just dont know how to make it happen its in the video 3:02-3:04

[@Melvinnnnnnnn]

Wierd, Japanese and US cartiges don't have the option 😐

[@bombabombom3603]

@@Melvinnnnnnnn This isn't the only game to nix language select outside PAL releases. Almost every game in the 90s did this. I somewhat get what they were trying to do, seeing that European countries are commonly verbally diverse than the NTSC regions. I could be wrong, but that's how I felt.

[@theobserver4214]

Madzlick Chinatown You’d think they would keep Spanish and/or French options to make it easier to sell in LATAM and/or Canada. I’m not Canadian so I don’t know too much about it, but didn’t Nintendo make French Canadian versions of games?
