4:35 I can’t put my finger on exactly why, but I absolutely love the delivery of that “or you can just git gud” maybe it’s because it just catches me off guard with how formal you usually are, or maybe it just somehow has the absolute perfect amount of sass to it, but whatever the case it’s so funny to me.

[@dmas7749]

[@Altair584]

Hey guys! I recently completed Paper Mario: Pro Mode on my Twitch livestream. It's a mod that greatly increases the game's difficulty. Had some pretty cool moments! I'm planning to upload a Pro Mode highlight video in addition to a "traditional" glitch video for October.

Fox jump squat is 3 frames in 60 FPS, so doing the lowest possible jump with Mario is actually slightly harder than short hopping as Fox

[@rtyuik7]

10:00 -- youve demonstrated one of my Favorite properties of Paper Mario: his total deadpan expression, no matter whats happening in the overworld...when i used to play PM64 (i only played it on the N64, when it was the 'most recent Mario game', so yes im a filthy Casual lol) i would often 'machinimatize' (machinimize? whatever, "Act Out") with Mario...a lot of situations in the story deserve a '...are you Kidding me??' kind of reaction, which is conveyed nicely by blankly staring one way, doing a quick 180, and then back again, before moving on to the next objective...in a way, it kinda adds to the immersion of the game, since My Thoughts of "...did that just happen?" seem to be integrated into Mario's head, and it makes it look like HE'S the one questioning life...

Since swag hammering/jumping using the loading zones was brought up, I figure I'll add that you can also do "Dive Swags" on the water loading zones with Susie. When you do, the diving sound effect gets prolonged so that you hear it even after the next room loads in.

1:52 Note about this chapter for new people: in the TTYD remake, environmental hazards _can_ kill Mario, I learned this by accident during chapter 5 and wasted a life shroom as a result (I hadn't saved in a bit either so I just bit the bullet)

[@NunofYerbizness]

2:58 Now that you mention the move name, I think it might've been removed in every PM game onward since the move itself is called "Spin Dash", which is also the name of one of Sonic's staple moves, first introduced in Sonic 2. In theory, Nintendo would have to pay Sega royalties had the former kept the move in the later games, right?

[@ilovewallacebuthategromit]

The spindash is one of the things I missed the most in PM2. A ton of games suffer from boring movement options and the spindash+ability to cancel it with jumps or small ledges was a great way to make it so that movement is more involved and you never feel like you're just mundanely holding the analog stick waiting for Mario to get from point A to point B.

The hammer input reminds me of how you can skid into the load zones in a house or other building, in Animal Crossing. If you're running and flip the control stick so that you'd be running in the opposite way where you were going, the player will skid to a stop before running in the new direction. This skid carries momentum, so if you are fast enough you can skid *into* the load zones while in a building, such as the entrance to Nook's Cranny or your house; your character will face the direction of your skid (which is usually north, but can be other directions), and then correct themselves as they leave the house. I've known of this feature since Wild World, and it still works in New Horizons.

1:15 An Action Command within an Action Command... Paper Mario has more layers than Inception! 2:40 The Fire Bar gets down with it on the dance floor, too. Another advantage of the cancel! 3:51 Paper Mario's timing windows are comparable to Melee. Unsurprising at this point, I guess.

[@AppledirtArchive]

The normal spin cancels, short hops, and crouch cancel are all things I use regularly in casual play. The rest of this stuff I don't, and most of then I haven't even heard of!

This skid carries momentum, so if you are fast enough you can skid *into* the load zones while in a building (and buildings with open doors, sometimes), such as the entrance to Nook's Cranny or your house; your character will face the direction of your skid (which is usually north, since exists are usually south), and then correct themselves as they leave the house. I've known of this feature since Wild World, and it still works in New Horizons.

[@RC-mx5du]

3:43 Slight correction. In Melee, Fox has three frames, or one twentieth of a second, to perform a short hop. This only makes the speed of the short hop in Paper Mario more impressive.

[@Stryder7x]

I need to verify this again with TAS but it seems a lot of people think the jump squat (3 frames for Fox) is equivalent with the input window for short hopping. Always thought it was a 2 frame window, and some old smashboards threads say that as well. Though I’d be happy to accept that short hopping is more difficult in Paper Mario lol

[@RC-mx5du]

Just tested it out myself, I was wrong. My bad

Hey Stryder. Quick question on peach%. I don't know if this has been investigated or not, Are badges on Mario also equipped on Peach?
