Paper Mario TTYD, but enemies are INVINCIBLE

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has some attacks, items, and abilites that have a unique property. They can pierce through an enemy's defense! Sadly this is almost never useful since most enemies don't have enough defense to warrant their use over stronger attacks like power bounce or stampede.
Thats why in this challenge I forced these attacks to be good... By making every enemy have infinite defense!
This forces the use of these underused attacks and creates an interesting challenge!

[@megamarvelousmarty]

Hey bringle! Love your vids man!

[@craigyeah1052]

True, even used her to dodge Megabreath and Darkness Wave. Wish I could credibly defend poor Ms. Mows...

[@Memo-i4c]

ITSD BRRIGGNLEEEEE BRIGNLE

[@potatoe972]

True

[@HammerTrowIsPeak_WaddleDingus]

You know what pierces defense? (At least in the remake) HAMMER THROW!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HAMMER THROW!!!!!!!!

[@philiphunt-bull5817]

HAMMER THROW 🔨 🛠 ⚒️ 🔨 !!!

[@elenna1237]

15:38 except in the remake, where they also changed Hammer Throw to pierce defence and not be affected by hammer upgrades with a base 2 damage, for... some reason???

[@AstronOtter]

yeah. Sadly I don't have a way to mod the enemy stats of the remake. Wouldve been a way to actually make hammer throw useful in some way

[@DanelerH]

@@AstronOtterI would argue it’s useful in Hammermam challenges, if only to give Mario a way to hit aerial enemies without using items or SP. It’s a very small niche, but a bigger one than Ms. Mowz.

[@HammerTrowIsPeak_WaddleDingus]

YAH!!! HAMMER THROW IS THE BEST BADGE!

[@RosyBramble]

During the Hooktail fight i heard a guitar and was like "wait, that's calamity music, isnt it?"

[@craigyeah1052]

"A TTYD challenge not by Bringle is in my feed? Sounds like a good concept I guess I'll watch it..." "Wait, Bringle!? What are you doing here!?"

[@kingtaco536]

Love the Bringle cameo lol. Awesome idea for a vid this was sick!

[@PaperMarioSunshine]

This doesnt look like legitimate nintendo software… expect nintendo at your door tomorrow😊

Freaking Bringle jumpscare!

Liplocking and blowing daddy until he goes down is crazy 😭

[@jett520]

I love this idea so much!

[@PhantomAarantula]

If Tornado Jump doesn't prove useful in this challenge, I will be so disappointed.

[@AstronOtter]

UHHHHH

[@sneakyriftr]

Hi phantom love ur content

[@OvermasterP]

Holy shit! It's Bringle, that other guy who pops up in my Recommended from time to time with Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door content!

[@foxfox1422]

Wow, I was going to post a super hateful comment defending our beautiful girl Vivian before Mr. Bringle (TM) told us to cut you some slack. (Great job with the video! It was nice seeing a lot of underused abilities and strats brought into the limelight)

[@JoelTheParrot]

another thing about superguards is that the iron clefts are immune to them, so for this challenge to work they have to be immune to superguards too. 1:34 well, items are... also ignored by them 8:27 even the parts where bowser has to platform around enemies that he can normally kill? >:( I recall getting decent use out of Ms. Mowz in some half-way Pit runs (since my original intention in the remake was to do a new run of the Pit every chapter or two where I went 20 levels deeper, only to realize I was severely overlevelling) but that also might be because I didn't remember Flower Finder being so goated for the Pit (I wasn't gonna grind my special power up to spam Sweet Treats for Smooch that'd've taken forever! I mean I think I had to do something similar sometimes for an even earlier run but yeah Ms. Mowz was convenient at least. Definitely the worst regardless) masked dedede :D of course ttyd is a jrpg it's a Japanese turn-based RPG...

[@ziggynewton510]

23:48 I saw you singing (or at least lip synching) in the facecam lol Anyways good video, it's pretty entertaining

[@dynosgarcia7645]

32:40 You could make this a LV1 run, couldn't you?

[@sonicthehedge]

Multi-Bonk on Goomba is way better, Yoshi can use Gulp, etc

[@AstronOtter]

Sadly, even if I don't rank up partners, Yoshi is still just better with his gulp 🫤

[@MarioSMG64]

What’s wrong with Podley, outside of the fact that he kept his close friend from getting closure from his dead wife for decades?

[@AstronOtter]

Also leaving behind a woman who was in love with him because he felt like he wasn't good enough for her

[@MarioSMG64]

@@AstronOtter also is always polishing the same glass, how bad at cleaning is he?

I hope Ms. Mouse can finnaly shine ❤

[@228h]

Bringle caught me off guard lol

[@dirtblockplayz]

39:40 Broo your cheating lol

[@sneakyriftr]

Peak idea

[@gameplanetanimations]

32:21 Yes, actually. Because even though you can use sweet treat to get your FP back, If you are out of SP and FP. You're out of luck. So if you have insufficent SP and FP, Mouz would be extremely useful for specifically this challenge. That way, you can damage enemies while you are appealing to the crowd.

[@AstronOtter]

At that point I'd rather just appeal with both members. Also, you realistically should never be low enough on both FP and SP that the only thing you can do is appeal

[@sonicthehedge]

Wouldn't Goomba be good once she gets rally wink as that means Mario can act twice per turn? Could be useful on getting two specials per turn.

[@AstronOtter]

Yeah, but in fights that last a long time, using 2 specials in one turn isn't better than using 1 special and another partners attack

[@pokedude720]

Outside Bringle's callout Wouldn't her fire's DoT still be useful or does it not activate if the Punch does no damage?

[@AstronOtter]

I mean, it Could be useful, but it wouldn't be better than just using other moves that actually deal damage

[@Posterchild19]

Brongle jumpscare

[@nekotheliar6393]

Bombery's attack and appeal can clear fog

[@AstronOtter]

Yeah, to a point it's just not worth it to bring him out to do that, especially when I kept forgetting to equip quick change lol

[@yoshifan-n4n]

Will you try this challenge in the remake?

[@AstronOtter]

I probably wouldve done it in the remake if i had a way to change the enemies' defenst, but I have no way to do that as of right now

[@ksjpapermario97]

39:51 whats that menu i need to know

[@AstronOtter]

Look up TTYD Practice Tool. There's a process to get it on your game, but it's so worth it haha

I wish this exist for the remake as a mod. I would love to play it. Currently have the toadette mod along with the original dialogue mod for the remake.
