This is the best Paper Mario game

[@selkhiali6461]

yea

[@Vendetta162X]

Imo best Mario game. The other games gave you so much flexibility to toy around and play with the game's physics, but this one establishes such an outstanding atmosphere with so much life. Sure 64 and Super offered it as well, but this had the initial RPG backbone with the perfect polish to perfect what 64 started.

[@dino988]

I like the original more but TTYD is still one of my favorite RPGs

[@multifandomfangirl9664]

I prefer SPM but this is amazing Shame they might not go back to style

I’m here after the HD remaster for Switch is announced. The intro song had me tearing up and reminding me of my childhood, this game is very special to me, and I know it is special for many people. Cheers to TTYD on Switch!!!

[@justineld4905]

Same here. Can't wait for the new version on Switch!

they just dropped the new trailer that shows the storybook intro and its even better now. wont spoil it if your sensitive to that info tho

TTYD got a remake, not a remaster which are two different things.

[@bjgray7954]

@@agustinhernandezrivas-jp7jk it’s not even worth mentioning. There are few who know the difference between those words. There are people that think Windwaker HD is a remake and Links Awakening is a remastered. Not even worth tryna correct

Here after Nintendo released the intro story for the remake. Man, did they make it a lot more impactful there, like you were living through the story. It was so beautiful as well!

[@DAOC88]

Yep. I did the same

[@cheezyboy2511]

The lore within this game is brilliant. Very well thought-out and elaborate.

[@ClayDoh]

I can’t believe I’m living in a world where TTYD is actually getting a remaster. I almost cried during the announcement 🥹

[@ptanker9236]

I’m living in a world where Nintendo actually made a new Paper Mario to compete against TTYD instead of, y’ know, making a remake for the millionth time

[@ClayDoh]

@@ptanker9236 they tried that a few times and failed, so I'll happily take this instead.

[@ptanker9236]

@@ClayDoh as a person who played TTYD a lot in the past, I digress, I always dreamed of a true sequel to TTYD (A TTYD 2) But instead, they go with their remake frenzy and give us a choppy TTYD remaster that goes down to 30 FPS, while the original was 60 FPS. Jeez.

Shigeru took the western name "Paper Mario" too literally, to me this is and will always be "Mario Story", a pop-up fairytale book that you can play

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

​@@thehermit8618yeah the self awareness that the world is paper really bothered me in the recent trilogy of games. I'm fine with the game awareness (like when koops says to his dad "I thought your game was over...") mainly because its infrequent and doesnt build its entire personality around it.

[@macfadden96]

Here after the Oragmi king trailer. Crazy to think we will never get anything close to this again

[@lirehsa]

All because of miamoto

[@cryptidcloud]

@@lirehsa tanabe

[@dreye3215]

@@cryptidcloud No, it's because of Miyamoto. He ordered Intelligent Systems to not make any original Mario characters, effectively preventing them from having any kind of complex storytelling or world-building in the PM games. Tanabe is just the guy who's tried to work with these rules, it's not his fault.

Nintendo just released a new trailer for the switch remake, and its amazing! *The story is now fully animated*

[@ZeldafanNr2]

I want a game where Mario travels to the past to the ancient city before Rogueport and before Shadow Queen’s reign.

[@JordanSnakemouth]

It'd be interesting to see the things that happened back then, but I feel like that'd also detract a bit from this game. Only having small clues here and there to piece together what happened back then is what makes it all so cool to begin with.

[@brickman409]

It's so crazy that this game is 20 years old now. Hard to explain now, but I remember it feeling so new and next gen when it first came out. One little detail that made this game feel so "new" was the health and safety screen at the beginning of the game, and I'm glad they kept that in this video. Obviously nothing really interesting or note worthy about a health and safety warning, but earlier GameCube games didn't have that, so when you started seeing that, you knew you were getting a newer game. And then the Wii came out and had that at the beginning of the console boot, so it kind of cemented that as a separator of old and new GameCube games when looking back. Weird, I know, but it's one of those things that I just notice and almost subconsciously obsess over.

[@limeanimates]

and its getting remade now

[@Luxionelity]

WE ARE SO BACKKKKKKKKKK

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

It just occurred to me that this story parallels the history of this game series. Long ago, this was a beloved and successful RPG series, but then the great cataclysm-Sticker Star-occurred, killing the series. It seemed as though Nintendo completely forgot that TTYD in particular even existed, and some weirdos out there actually think Sticker Star and Color Splash are good games. It was really looking like things would stay that way forever, but we fans didn’t give up. We poured out our love for this game across the internet, and rumors spread that Nintendo would in fact, make this remake a reality. Indeed… the backstory of TTYD truly does represent the history of this series. And the revival that we dreamed of for so long, comes out in 2024.

[@padmescurl]

[@Spidercola]

Ahem! Today… I’m going to tell you the story of the Thousand-Year Door. An awfully long time ago… In a strange and far-off land, a big, bustling town thrived. It was a town where all the people loved very happy lives. And it was said that the town was very prosperous. But one day…tragedy befell this blessed place. A great cataclysm struck the town and its people. Darkness filled the skies, and the earth roared and shook. It was as if the very world had come to a violent end. And in but a single night… the town sank into the depths of earth. Many moons rose and set. Stories of the town passed into the pages of fairy tales… And when the town’s site no longer held relics of its past… People gathered at that spot and built a new town. But word soon spread among the people who moved in. That an ancient city lay deep underground… And that a magnificent treasure rested there. Indeed… This is the tale of the fabled treasure of Rogueport. Yes, this is where it begins, in the sea town of Rogueport. The tale of the quest for the legendary treasure. And the Thousand-Year Door…starts here.

Can anyone translate what the book says? Somebody did this for the Wind Waker, I wonder if this could be done too, I mean there both for the GameCube.

[@spartanspeedruns8386]

Unfortunately it cannot be done. I just tried, the words do not translate to any kind of real words. For instance, the very first word is only capable of being translated to "flexibility". If you add in the second word, no phrase is possible. It also only uses about 10-12 characters, nowhere near what would be needed for a real code. Sorry :(
