These Nintendo Games Punish You For Being Greedy

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

In _Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door,_ you can technically beat Gus in a fight and ends with him ran away from Mario. That way, you don't need to get paid to enter the east side of Rogueport. Plus, Gus is guarding for 365 days a year, so gotta respect his grind.

[@GamingKingdom91]

Hes goin for that pay check 😂

[@JamesZou1213]

I beat Gus second try in prologue, it's not that hard.

[@tong2304]

Same I also but him in prologue even I play on emulator and that time I can't get good timing with super guard yet but beat it in first try no save states too

[@Prince_Eva_Huepow]

And, before fleeing, he reprimands you for choosing violence to solve problems.

[@TheDendran]

It takes a minimum of 7 turns to take Gus down if you do not use items but counters (thats what the european version calls superguards: A "counter" which, tbh, sounds more fitting) 3, if you use Fireflowers and superguards (You defeat him end round 3 when he attacks by Sguarding; you only have money for 5 flowers, not 6) And I am not spending 50 coins to shorten that fight...

[@jdb2002]

I think Gus is a lesson to the player that sometimes, running may be the best solution, as a new player would most likely have trouble beating him.

[@WindWerehog]

after that or with skills (as in you being good at the game), the lesson is that illegal toll posts get taken down no matter what.

[@Molten2004]

I was able to beat him on my first attempt during my first playthrough

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

And as someone who has beat Gus in my first try, running away is never an option.

[@BallerKid69420]

I beat him first try,had to use both items

[@cool-guy686]

I was new and I beat him but it took some mushrooms and most of my health

[@Hero_of_Comedy]

Not only is it possible to win against Gus early on, but with the way Paper Mario TTYD's exp system works, it benefits you to beat him early as you get more EXP from fights the lower your level is.

[@CabaretDescartes]

Melee calling the player a predator is too relevant for some pro players

[@Mimikyu_Lov3r]

It is actually possible to beat Gus in the Prologue of Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door, you just gotta make sure you stock up on mushrooms and lightning bolt items first and be careful on when you use them

[@uncreativeusername-sl9qf]

Actually, you can beat him for free using super guard

[@recordkeepertype0662]

That's if you do the superguards well. Otherwise. Just use mushrooms and Hammah all the way to his death

[@pokemonanimebattle3615]

The only way to get lighting bolts that early in the game is through shop points you probably meant fire flowers

[@spencerbowden2979]

Okay gus is not that hard to beat in the prologue. Put goombella in front of you and have her guard every turn. Gus will be forced to charge goombella every turn or chuck his spear at Mario which does 1 damage even if he times his command. If Mario has super smash equipped Gus can not possibly kill Mario in this set up before he loses all of his health to super smashes. We don’t need lightning or mushrooms.

[@budgetcoinhunter]

Just be good at Superguarding. He's free.

[@supermariogirl4467]

You missed Twilight Princess. If you put no rupees in the bird’s box it will try to attack you when you enter the shop. And if you pay too little, it’ll call you cheapskate

[@GamingKingdom91]

on my twitch stream of the game..every time i visit that bird i always pay extra (and i always donate to the guy in castle town uwu) ...makin link to some charity work X3

[@trentonalbers3981]

That’s another example I was thinking this video should have included. Great minds think alike!

[@pokemonanimebattle3615]

You did the animal crossing turnups wrong, the turnups want bad from a long passage of time, the punishment is when you go back in time not foward. Also I think going forward 1 day will not make the turnups spoil

[@IrinaSilveira]

Yes, exactly! The turnip only spoil after 7 days, even if you don't time travel.

[@sackzcottgames]

yeah, came to say that. turnips spoil by default, he just did the time travel wrong.

[@sackzcottgames]

also what happens when you go 1 day back?

[@ellietheeevee]

@@sackzcottgames The turnips will spoil as well, i think.

[@E-102GammaMKII]

"If you refuse to pay Gus early in _Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door,_ you will have one hard battle ahead of you." Not entirely true. When you first talk to Gus, you have three options; 1: "Fine, I'll pay." 2: "I'm not paying." 3: "I can take you!" First option: You fork over 10 Coins and he'll let you through. Leave the area, and it'll reset. Second option: Nothing happens. Third option: The battle with Gus commences. If you beat him, you get Star Points and you won't have to pay him ever again, as he flees to Ishnail's hideout. Lose, and it's Game Over. Run away from the fight, you survive and won't lose money.

[@DaGhostToastRoast]

I wouldn’t call fighting Gus being greedy. From my pov he’s being an asshole blocking the way and charging a toll to pass. Like Its much more satisfying to whoop his ass like “Get out of my way Buddy BOI!” 😂

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

Yeah, he’s a crook (albeit in a city of crooks), so refusing to let him extort you is perfectly fine.

[@Luwis1337]

Towards 6:31 You just need 2 or 3 fire flowers so your partner can deal damage too, so you get a lot of exp for the beginning and have an advantage in the first chapter. Even if you dont buy fire flowers, use her to use mushrooms on you so you can still attack. Its not that hard, you just have to think a little

[@TheDendran]

Not only does the Shopkeeper in Links Awakening straight up kill you no matter how many hearts you have, but you are called "THIEF" instead of the name you put in when creating the savefile throughout the entire game the moment you _leave shop with an item by sneaking past Shopkeepers vision_ Also, in the DX version you will be *_photographed_* when you leave this way; the Mouse in charge for taking pictures of you will for once *_NOT_* show up in this instance though...

[@escchristian593]

If you land on an Item Space in Mario Party 3 and you choose the first answer to Toad's question, he may say you're too greedy and he won't give you anything.

[@trentonalbers3981]

Another example is when you can either fight or pay the huge Koopa in the original Paper Mario. I managed to beat him but he was tough. Great video!

[@Prince_Eva_Huepow]

You beat Gus and he reprimands you players for always choosing "violence solve problems."

[@seangunnell9451]

One thing, I actually have beaten Gus that early in Thousand-Year Door. I actually did the first time I played the game without even realizing it was supposed to be too soon and I did managed to win too.

[@mickndiaye386]

Remember in Mario Strikers Charged how, if you turn the console off while playing a tournament match and turn it back on again, you'd get accused of cheating and be granted a loss?

[@koiyune]

4:34 this actually happens when you do not sell your turnips within a week - basically if you skip to the sunday after you bought your tunips, (you can only buy turnips on sundays) or forget to sell them by that sunday, they will become spoiled. if you change the system clock 1-6 days after you bought the turnips

[@ZeoViolet]

The initial pair of Mystery Dungeon games would have the Kecleon label you as a thief if you accidentally stepped off his rug, or were pushed off it by a wild enemy pokemon (that ignored the rug entirely) before you had a chance to pay, or if you inadvertently didn't have enough money. Call you a thief and attack you. Later pokemon dungeon games modified his behavior to ensure there was no accidental thieving. If you didn't have enough money, the item just went back to the rug (or if you were pushed off or accidentally stepped off trying to move around something). Kecleon was pretty frickin' unfair enough as it was.

[@christopherchasteen4990]

Also, if you were beaten by Kecleon, ALL the items you have on hand will be changed to PLAIN SEEDS! No effect!

[@IslandofPets88]

​@@christopherchasteen4990 In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, you lose every item that you have in your bag instead of getting plain seeds for every item you had

[@christopherchasteen4990]

[@Hanshotchewie]

The last one is easily beatable if you just switch it so your partner is in front to tank the damage with defend. Action commands are a must as well but it is very much achievable.

[@RaceBandit]

I think I always took on Gus - and early, at that - because he didn't come off as legitimate or something like that. I also don't remember ever losing to him, although he's not exactly a cakewalk either. Just time your guards/superguards right.

[@Estrella_Senpai]

Playing Mystery Dungeon as a kid, I would steal from Kecleon all the time as long as I had a pure seed on me. Steal, eat seed, and be warped right to the stairs. Recently replayed Explorers of Sky, and I still did this. 😂

[@ls190v2]

The Mabe Village shopkeeper in Link's Awakening would hate that.

[@Travisgaminglol]

2:38 sakurai should put the "predator" and "coward" thing in ultimate lol

[@Davian2073]

Some of the characters in Ultimate were made for camping and preying, if the game punished the player because of that, then they would stop using the character, and a rule in fighting games is that EVERY character must be good in its own way, so every character could be used by at least one person. So Sakurai had to stop doing that for Smash

[@creepypastakingthedragones3679]

I honestly believe it's just a skill issue if you can't beat gus in the prologue, hell you can probably beat him without items by putting goombella in the front and after using tattle just keep having her use defend because she can't attack in this fight with put getting hurt so what point is it to her defending in the back

[@4467jhgeji]

In paper Mario 64, if you try to take anti-guy’s treasure, you will probably lose

[@Prince_Eva_Huepow]

This is the only way to recruit Kecleon and the full process is goldy absurd.

[@jansenart0]

In Smash you had -500 for Coward too, but didn't show its definition.

[@gryphose1849]

Iirc, Coward is for if you spend so much time not attacking (possibly not taking damage either)

[@duskyer]

Gus is relatively easy to beat in the prologue. I just buy fire flowers and have Goombella use em on her turn whilst I hammer.

[@supergamingwarriorgamerult4705]

Hard battle with Gus, said almost no one ever, i probably always beat him before i even start the game

[@timothypitcher7996]

In terms of Super Smash Bros. Melee, to avoid getting smacked by the Predator bonus, you pretty much have to always go after the fighter who has the least amount of damage. Unfortunately, if that very fighter is your own teammate, that could be a problem if friendly fire is not turned ON. And yes, even in team battles, the game will punish you by smacking the Predator, Stalker, and Bully (if you make 3 KOs on a single opponent, but didn't KO anybody else) bonuses onto you, regardless of whether or not you only have one opponent.

Can mention some examples: - Paper Mario 64 has Kent C. Koopa blocking the way & forces you to give him loads of coins. But you can beat him up, but it's a tough battle. - In Paper Mario TTYD, Hooktail will bite you if you decide to say yes to the 1000 coin offer. - Pokémon Sword & Shield has a trick where you can farm watts by going to an active raid den, clicking on "Invite Others" & changing the clock & closinb out; this resets the watts in the den, but this comes with a price: daily activities (such as the battle café, Stow-On-Side market, Isle of Armor reigonal form traders, rematches with gym leaders, etc.) will be postponed until the following day in real time. - In Super Paper Mario, trying to farm exp. points using the Koopa Shell trick will deduct exp. points if you try doing it. - Even though it's not a Nintendo game, the slot machines in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 have a chance to land on triple Eggman, which takes ALL of your rings if yoy decide to get too greedy & try the slots.

[@truetakofame4112]

It's from the Explorer games on DS. Also if you beat or run from Kecleon, more Kecleon will spawn. It's very hard to beat them, like you'd have to be at lv 100 at least to deal any serious damage from my experience. But even then, you'll eventually get overwhelmed since all Kecleon have a speed boost to them. And I think they disable your orbs so you can't even escape like that unless you take the stairs into the next floor. And finally, they're also the hardest to recruit in game. Also it's possible to have a Kecleon fight the enemy Pokemon. It actually happened to me once when a random Pokemon took all the item from Kecleon's shop with a thrawl orb, and when Kecleons were all over the place, they didn't even bothered me.
