Top 10 Softlock Glitches in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

[@Stryder7x]

When I started documenting Paper Mario glitches years ago, I never expected anything remotely close to 100,000 subscribers. You guys have made one of my favorite hobbies that much more enjoyable, thank you so much for being a part of it :)

It's an unspoken law that whenever you do a glitch video on TTYD, the player MUST have the Flavio glitch active whenever possible

[@HunnyDoo]

[@temmie9997]

Nackers69 how dare you, flavio is amazing

[@theonefromperu]

Flavio is that sort of person who's only good at parties, not hanging out with regularly. He's got hella stories, but they're 99% about him and he often repeats himself and/or exaggerates half of it.

He hasn’t uploaded actual content in so long he went off my recommended, and a litterally forgot he exists, then I saw this vid and I remembered that he is my favorite channel in the world 😍

[@xyoshi1083]

My favorite soft lock is one I found myself. It takes advantage of fish glitch and is hard to make happen. I was trying to play chapter 6 twice and the way I did it was with the fish glitch and accessing it early, then I went to chapter 5 and found a switch in keelhal key, which made me skip ever needing flavio in my party, the first half of the pirates grotto, and i fought Cortez out of order from the smorgs. So after I was finished with that chapter, I played the game normally and saved aboard the train in a chapter 6 state. Little did I know locked doors would have no lock but would be locked. So when I made it to the second train station, the game softlocked and I couldn’t progress at all. I need to get footage of it because I haven’t seen it anywhere

[@kevofclubs]

that sounds really cool, i would like to see that

[@Marqrk]

I really do enjoy the fact that you brought flavio along for the whole video

[@OsakaOutlaw]

I have waited for a very long time to see what your opinion was on paper mario TTYD am very excited for more videos on this game hopefully!

[@locklear308]

Hey stryder, I don't know if you get notifications of comments or if you look at these, but if you happen to see this one I just want to say that I hope you're doing well and to also say thank you for these videos. I grew up with paper Mario and I had just about forgotten about the series until I found your channel about a year ago. I enjoyed your content so much that it actually rekindled my love for the games again for the first time in ages. Anyway, I read enough to know that you're going through some personal stuff and I just want to say I hope you're doing well. Hang in there brother

[@xyoshi1083]

That reminds me, I stumbled upon a soft lock the other day! I was doing glitches with flavio when I found it and the soft lock is very unforgiving. Here is how it’s done 1. Preform the flavio glitch as normal until you complete chapter 6. 2. Go back to chapter 5 and find the room just after the waterfall where there’s a save block. There if you climb the wall or the platforms leading to the top of the room, the door there should be open, but the block to open it still remains. Hit that block with bobery. 3. Play chapter 5 until you get to the part where the boat is shooting Mario and flavio must return his red skull to Cortez. After the cutscene, don’t return to Cortez, rather go back to the blue pipe from the flavio glitch and go back to the end of chapter 6 through the blue pipe. 4. Board the train It took me a while to realize it was a softcover because the chapter plays as normal. When you get to the second (or first station in this case) you should notice there’s no lock on the door. There is no way to bypass this soft lock that I know of. I found it trying to do chapter 6 twice. If you don’t board the train and instead go get the next crystal star, you basically will play the chapters as 1 2 3 4 6 5 7 8

Plot twist: the vivian softlock actually means mario got frozen thanks to vivian's kiss

[@sirjohnathanpond953]

Can you soft lock Super Paper Mario?

[@Anaklusmos42]

I know one way. In world 3-1, there is a koopa who uses a giant star. When he hit the block and the star starts jumping towards him, use the home button twice. The star will jump back and forth forever, on the block it came from

[@sirjohnathanpond953]

I do remember seeing that somewhere, I didn't know how to do it though

[@General12th]

Nope, it's impossible. SPM is perfectly programmed.

8:05 luigi just chillin in the void

[@dannymusic]

Not relevant, but at 3:52 I got mild anxiety from leaving the shine sprite unclaimed

[@MolSno]

I don't know if this counts as a soft lock, but if you save during the countdown in the tree before the boss fight with Lord Crump in Chapter 2, it's possible to get permanently stuck with no way to disable the countdown if there isn't enough time left to get through all the dialog before Crump disables it. The only way to escape this situation is to start a brand new save file.

[@briskoli3709]

[@groudongamer3178]

Softlocks in this game are the best because the characters keep moving and breathing, like there's an extremely awkward silence.

I love how often Flavio was shown just tagging along. Because no Glitch in TTYD is satisfying enough without Flavio.

Ive never played or even touched a paper mario game but im obsessed with these videos lol

[@gmtfender]

I had a game breaking glitch in the punie area one time. For whatever reason, one of the punies(idk how it's spelled) disappeared from my game. I was stuck at 100/101 and couldn't proceed. I spent 2 hours searching for the last one, but never managed to find it anywhere and because of that, I think that somehow it was just deleted from existence.

[@BananaFaceDude56]

Nobody tell him the elder has a button to automatically recall all punies, and that the 101th is optional

[@mentalbreakgaming3102]

hah this video was perfect timing as I just got soft locked thanks to your last ppttyd glitch video. so I just got ttyd again and wanted to try out the ms mows glitch in the sewer area with all the warp pipes. so eventually I succeeded and I had just speedrunned the game to chapter 5 when I used ms mowz to enter the pipe to moshley and then hit a save block because I'm stupid. after hitting the save block I went to the museum to get the crystal star but there was a problem, in order to get that crystal star you need the spring boots you get from a stop on the train but by using the warp pipe I bypassed the train and thus the spring boots, so I could never get the crystal star, and then because it handles progress like it did in the original paper mario my state was set to after talking and getting the train ticket from Don pinata but I never got one. thus I could never get to the stop again thus softlocking me.

[@galladeguy123]

Vivian was never a man. It was simply an insult towards her by Beldam, who is probably just jealous of her being the prettiest of the three. Calling a woman a man is a very rude insult in Japan. Goombella was probably just confused about the joke when she said that Vivian was both the youngest sister and brother in her tattle. The joke was removed in other regions because Nintendo of America knew it would be misunderstood in the states.
