Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Switch) - 85 - Fahry Tale

[@ShycoWar]

5:49 - ...Hang on. Unless I'm missing something, that means, from the beginning of Chapter 6 _all the way_ to the final battles, the number of enemies-bosses INCLUDED-that aren't recolors/reuses of past foes comes out to a whopping...two. Those being the Smorgs, and Wizzerds. ..."Wow" is right. That's, uh, definitely not the kind of thing you just passively notice :V

[@superpenguinzzz]

Fahr Outpost, aka the perfect use for Chill Out, since the ice enemies can freeze both you and your partner and continuously attack you unless the freezing wears off quickly. I always use Fire Drive or a Fire Flower in this chapter.

[@KopsiDayzee22]

Chill Out is the badge that stops Mario from being hit by a first strike. Are you sure you're not thinking of Feeling Fine?

[@thebookmaster6593]

Mario’s must be even more serious that the Afro guy, considering he IS going to the moon for a lady

[@renakunisaki]

The snow isn't melting around the AC because it's not an AC, it's a heat pump. (Which is really just an AC in reverse!) They wouldn't be using air conditioning in this climate.

[@Hyperboid]

I was thinking the exact same thing! (at 12:12) Well, more "why would the AC be blowing hot air _out?"_

[@Skawo]

It's still visibly blowing out hot air, though?

[@GiannakidisNikolaos-b9h]

Ee mit freundlichen Grüssen ihr Team vom Bahnhof abholen kannst du kannst mich gerne mit dir treffen uns dann t tun kann tun kann aber es gibt es gibt keine Ahnung was da so viel wie die anderen beiden Termine für die Kinder sind ja noch Mal die Woche später am Abend des Inhalts mit freundlichen Grüßen

[@renakunisaki]

@@Skawo hmm, there does appear to be steam coming off it. I don't know enough about heat pumps to know if that's normal.

[@ps4pro668]

I’ve seen someone say that Fahr Outpost’s battle theme could have worked for the entire chapter, and I agree. The other battle theme is good, don’t get me wrong, but the more dire sounding one fits better for the overall vibe of the chapter.

[@ShycoWar]

I can't say I agree with that. The "snowy" vibes are just too strong for me to think it would fit the atmosphere of where the next battle theme thrives. But then I'm also kind of biased by said battle theme being my personal favorite, sooo... :V

[@feder28]

Next time, we chase after the distinguished gentleman from the Backtracking Timer™

[@skyhawk9710]

I noticed how the cannon that weirdly shaped like a bottle of vodka which I'm guessing its a funny jab at Russians who have the well known stereotype of getting drunk off of vodka.

[@Brown95P]

Yep, yet another game that completely mistreats snow as a theme; the battle theme being this good yet this rarely used just adds salt to the wound tbh.

[@wouterW24]

The annoying thing is that you can sort of see it being used for the moon portion of the chapter as well.

[@extremmefan7305]

That Goombella line when talking to the mayor changes with every partner, and you can get them just by talking to the mayor repeatedly with every partner except Bobbery.

[@uncreativeusername-sl9qf]

7:07 you say that, but frankly literally found it in a book, a book about crystal stars no less. That doesn’t seem very secretive to me

[@justsomerandompixels]

13:35 hey! cut the old man some slack! the mayor also has a hood blocking his fuse, yknow. ..not that itd help because of how explosions work, but this is a video game after all

[@thunderhawk2567]

4:09 Ice Power actually lets you jump on Ice Puffs when they're charging, just like how Zap Tap lets you jump on Dark and Ruff Puffs when they're charging. I always thought it was weird that they never tell you that. 5:51 Not only that, but they are literally all recolors of enemies introduced in specifically Chapter 2. What did they mean by this? Is it symbolic of something? A proverbial wheel coming full circle? Somebody should ask MattPatt. 9:00 Is it just me, or is it weird that the developers were content to let the Traveling Sisters 3 have nothing but their standard idle and talking animations throughout the entire game, only to suddenly give them three new animations that are used in Chapter 7 and nowhere else?

[@johnmendez9525]

We start Chapter 7 and listen to a battle theme for 2 screens

[@Driggsdamonstah]

Absolutely criminal. This new battle theme is my favorite new song in the remake

[@johnnymind4151]

1:58 Never felt particularly odd to me, but I think it's funny that the pipe leading to the left according to the map is up and vice versa, even more so considering that the Petal Meadows and Boggly Woods pipes are relatively to the right and up respectively. 4:50 Yeah, apart from the collectibles the first time you go through it there's nothing going on here unlike in previous "hallways" and the worst part is that as we'll see soon enough you're forced to go back and forth through it repeatedly (even more so in the original because of the lack of a fast-travel pipe to Fahr Outpost)! That said, not sure it's necessary fluff to pad out the chapter or just a case of imitating Paper Mario 64 - after all, that game had a similar path in the snow area, too. 6:51 Not in the remake as they unsurprisingly got rid of it in the new English localization except for the mayor - wonder how it is in the Japanese script of the original and of the remake. 9:12 Maybe that's what Frankly checked to find out about the cannon! Jokes aside, I'd be surprised if there weren't at least guidebook about the whole region mentioning this area even just incidentally - if there aren't, Mario and/or (one of) his partners should write it themselves. 14:33 I mean, in Mario's world the end of the world actually almost happens relatively frequently so...

[@ReturnoftheNormalPerson]

2:03 Wanna hear how Mario used a gun to shoot the moon and possibly killing everyone due to the moon being destroyed? (Unrelated but i like chapter 7's battle theme too, sucks that this theme doesn't play that often)

[@jeffd.683]

*Insert SA2 and/or Snapcube reference here*

[@BronzeSpaceComet]

glad you love the battle theme, it's my favorite too :)

[@Trojan711]

I think what I've noticed with the color change in Fahr Outpost is that it makes the area look more like the Shiver Region from Paper Mario 64. Whether or not that's a good or bad thing is going to come down to personal preference.

[@Wiimeiser]

The stage effects should have been there to represent field effects, but Nintendo just had to put gameplay ahead of common sense...

[@dana.d.4627]

Next time, we go through the low point of the game

[@maxhahm5333]

Fahr Outpost feels like they didn't have a theme in mind for it and just went "Oh, we haven't used snow yet. Let's do that," so despite being yet another same-chapter overlap with 64, it doesn't feel all that similar, especially in comparison to chapter 1 and 5.

[@awsmrs]

10:12 Welp, it was a good run 🫡

[@FreezerKing]

I assume that Bobbery would have some business in Fahr Outpost due to being a Bob-omb, it having a population consisting entirely of same. Goldbob and General White don't have the same accent as the Farh guys and gals either. Though, the question about how he (or the Travelling Sisters) got there with that block in the way, is another matter indeed.

[@Hugonche29]

5:49 ok well listen... I mean strictly speaking you're right, but I think we can at least say that X-naut PHDs are different enough! 10:25 space food is a really cool item tied to a status effect I find really interesting. It's too bad it's so underused, because there could be really cool player and enemy strategies based on it, since it also blocks good statuses like charge and power lifts!

[@arekrekas213]

i can't wait for the backtrack-fest that'll be the next episode!

[@KopsiDayzee22]

Did anyone besides me go all the way to Fahr Outpost without actually starting chapter 7?

[@danielcraig8686]

I did that in the Gamecube version.

[@KopsiDayzee22]

​@@danielcraig8686It's kind of weird. If I remember correctly, there's just no dialogue at all after the curtain intro when you finally begin the chapter proper.

[@ShycoWar]

On the topic of Russian accents... I might be misremembering since the OG game is pretty far down in my memory banks, but did the remake actually, like, "censor" the Fahr Outpost Bob-Ombs' manner of speech? Didn't they at least used to have a few "Da"s sprinkled here and there in their dialogue?

[@Skawo]

Yep.

[@IvanezRus]

heh, can't blame them Tho it's funny, Shiver City Bob-ombs are supposed to be nodding to Russian, yet they all wear ushankas with tails. Aren't these only made in Canada? Cause we don't have these...

[@Aadel217]

Early. Definitely the best chapter as I love winter levels.

[@teaoftraffic]

is Fred who is Freaky still in? (the bob-omb.)

[@AverageEldritchEntity]

Say what you will about General White, but the remake gave him a pretty kickass theme.

[@supercoolsonic]

And they removed the "Da"s from the Bob-ombs... Sigh. I hate modern Nintendo localization. Too clean. Waaaaaaay too sensitive.

[@StupidStuff_Iguess]

not trying to rush you about newer super mario bros wii and your not even working on it but are you able to do a small update on it just to show people that newer team is still working on it I’m not trying to be rude you dont have to if its not ready yet

[@Skawo]

How can I do a small update when I don't have acess to the game?

[@StupidStuff_Iguess]

@ Wait you dont have access?

[@uncreativeusername-sl9qf]

speaking of updates (ive been forgetting to bring it up in discord), bug fables got one for its 5th anniversary. Have you checked it out yet skawo?
