The History of Paper Mario - PART 1 - (retrospective)

[@jerimiahsaiah]

OH MY GOD. Paper Mario for the N64 is my FAVORITE Mario game of ALL time! :)

[@garbanzomeatball]

Super Paper Mario. My favorite game of all time. Ahhh the nostalgia.

[@Chase_is_a_race]

I remember buying Paper Mario on N64 when I couldn’t find any Dreamcast games at the store. Paper Mario was brand new, I didn’t read much about it, I picked it up on a whim. I had a blast, and don’t regret buying Paper Mario. My cousin and I played SMRPG years prior, and I rented Paper Mario TTYD years later...I like both, but prefer the original.

[@RantGrumps]

I wonder why this was recommended to me now? Well I’m not complaining! Great video!

[@stegsaurus]

I absolutely love TTYD. One of the first RPGs I ever played and still my favorite. I remember having such a problem beating the Shadow Queen. Love the dark turn the game takes there, too.

[@ImmacHn]

PMTTYD is the best PM game ever :D

[@TheJustin4848]

Agreed!

[@johnmanreal9786]

Agreed! (2)

[@SereKabii]

More like best game ever :3

[@X_Gon_Give_It_To_Ya]

Until they make a Paper Mario game that is as good or even surpasses TTYD, TTYD is my favorite with the first being an instant classic.

[@TheJustin4848]

Wonka's chocolate Willy Kind of a random question, but what cartoon is that panda picture from? Because it's really creeping me out.

[@StuffAboutSandwiches]

Sorry for nitpicking, but the music in Super Mario RPG was not composed Nobuo Uematsu. All of the original music was composed by Yoko Shimomura, best known for Street Fighter II, Kingdom Hearts, and the Mario & Luigi RPGs. Nobuo Uematsu and Koji Kondo received secondary credit for the soundtrack due to the game having several arrangements of songs from Final Fantasy and the main seiries Mario games.

[@rogerfvb]

I don't have enough patience to sit through Mario RPG for SNES. Chrono Trigger and Digimon World 3 are much better RPGs. I absolutely worship Paper Mario (N64) though, it's one of the most wonderful games I've ever touched. It's fun, addictive, simple and full of interesting pieces of dialogue. The soundtrack is simply heavenly and even though the graphics are old, they're still full of charm and magic to this day. I loved talking to every single NPC and figuring out their little lives and how the main adventure impacted them before and after. Also, the battle system was very pleasant: it didn't pack tons of damage digits, but it was very engaging to level up, use action commands and hunt useful items. Everything was so complete and unpretentious. Unfortunately, I never played The Thousand-Year Door, but from what I know it's even better and expanded, kinda like Banjo-Kazooie got bigger and better as Banjo-Tooie. One of my biggest gaming hopes is to see Nintendo come back to Paper Mario's origins and make a similar game on the Wii U. NOT like Super Paper Mario, a true Paper Mario full RPG with the same mechanics and less gimmicks. A Paper Mario remake and a Banjo remake are two of the things I would love the most to see in the future.

[@cirus87]

You being so thorough is why I subscribed. You reveal things that I have never heard even though I've been into gaming for so long :)

[@WarpWorld7]

My new favorite-test channel on KZbin! Keep up the great work! :-)

[@TinyGuy97]

1: Paper Mario TTYD. Amazing story, creative chapters, memorable characters, amazing battle system, dark themes, humorous dialogue, good music, and charming graphics. This game is a masterpiece! 2: PM64. Charming graphics, decent story, humorous dialogue, good music, and fun gameplay. Really good game. 3: SPM. Good music, memorable characters, humorous dialogue, dark themes, and amazing story. It's good. Mixing platforming with force RPG elements didn't fit, the 3D gimmick gets annoying after awhile, it looks bland in 3D, and the game visuals were bleh. Still feels like Paper Mario though. 4: Sticker Star. Creative paper visuals..... That's it. Generic worlds, bland story, uncreative characters, unpolished battle mechanic, unbalance bosses, pointless battles, unoriginal and unmemorable music, and overall felt like a chore to complete. Were they even trying?

[@rosarioflores8976]

I agree

[@luisramos1258]

they should put paper mario ttyd as a download for wii u

[@TheImpulsesniper]

Yay a new video. I always love the work you put into these videos.

[@Old_Gamerboy64]

Finally, a real video that really does talk about the history of this fantastic franchise!

[@IcemenMike45]

11:10 I 100% agree. TTYD is my favorite Paper Mario game. I've played through it multiple times

[@Werewolf914]

Thousand Year Door is not only thee best PM game i'd also say it would be in,my top 10 games of all time.

[@x-hunter1965]

this is great! by far one of your most interesting history videos that covered a subject matter I didn't already know mostly about myself

[@justinspanbauer2153]

This is a great channel. How many people are involved?

[@TheGameDirect]

Thanks! Two.

[@MilesMario]

***** it would be so much better if there was no live action its so out of place and forced

[@AxeToday]

First ... Part of the episode! Excited for the rest of the series!

[@SergeantSatire]

Great video ! Love Paper Mario 64, one of my all time favs :3

[@prezco9076]

Jerimiah COMMENETED

[@AdmiralLittleWing]

What was that game at 5:00 As a huge fan of jrpgs I feel I should know it. I've failed ;__;

[@Anquavaous]

Admiral Little Wing 7th saga

[@theevilbloodkip1146]

Naihiko Aoyama Thank you for one of the best Mario genres EVER

[@giannipoopoopants]

Love it. Your retrospectives are so interesting. I voted for resident evil because the series has an interesting arch in terms of controls,quality, and even genre. Looks like you will be reviewing Zelda though. Can't wait!

[@karin3116]

Nice finally someone does a retrospective of paper mario!

[@awsomewaver]

Thousand year door was he best paper mario ever but super paper mario had the best story of any paper mario game

[@JD_Mx]

Loved this video, it's a great saga, funny and brings back some good memories.

[@TheLOGMAN02]

These are awesome! :D

[@rlopezblue13]

Thousand Year Door sometimes has larger rooms, but the N64 classic had more areas to explore. I personally like the N64 version better because there's no redundant backtracking (like in Thousand Year Door). I'd play Chapter 4 of the N64 version any day, than deal with extreme pacing back and forth aimlessly ala Thousand Year Door chapter 4.

[@KidSnivy69]

Really to me they feel the same

[@beyondparadisegaming]

Always a delight to watch. Thank you for making this easy and fun.

[@luciencox]

Paper Mario TTYD is literaly my most loved game of all time.

[@sharp2257]

Super Mario RPG was the best one imo

[@nozelfromvalorant]

Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door is my favorite game! I love this video!

[@Vanisonic]

*sigh just now finding out about another good youtuber. Props to you ***** you've convinced this pessimist to subscribe to your great channel.

[@BHM_Productions]

I looooove Paper Mario Thousand Year Door. The story and level design was so different and amazing and engrossing.

[@ObiWann90]

I love this show, i realize this video came out a year ago and you probably wont read this, but it would be awesome to see a metal gear retrospective!

[@phineas81707]

Thousand Year Door is definitely the best of them all!

[@DR0NEKILLER]

PMTTYD is the best game ever made

[@Quantumzone100]

i say super paper mario cuz of the story

[@5Richyomega]

Quantumzone100 oh man that story, best story in any mario game ever! Dimento, Bleck, tippi, the 4 heroes, Mr. L the apocalyptic theme! oh i just love it all!!! especially the boss fight with that otaku Francis

[@Mariagevid]

Quantumzone100 Super Paper Mario, worst game ever, shitty graphics, shitty story, shitty musics, shitty "pixels friends"

[@Quantumzone100]

well i did not ask you

[@Mariagevid]

Paper Mario TTYD is the best, that's all. You can't say "Super Paper Mario is better".

[@manaphy32184]

Well done, I adore this series, with the second being my favorite as well. Love it. As I suggested before, the Mother series would be amazing, as well as the Fire Emblem series :)

[@frozenstaz]

Oh I so look forward to more of your videos! :D

[@ben_g_min]

great video! please do the 'Ape Escape' series next!

[@eric19875]

Great retrospective!

[@Phantron]

Is the PM64 capture from a PC emulator? Because it has a very clean highres picture.

[@KalKyzara]

Paper Mario. One on my favorite parts of the Mario games. Paper Mario games are really good.

[@Espeon9891]

I totally agree. The Thousand-Year Door is the best in the Paper Mario series.

[@AgentXRifle]

Or even just battle tanx/army men series games by 3do would be awesome. Keep up the excellent work!

[@GeoExpansionify]

Can you do a complete full retrospective on The Legend of Zelda games and how the timeline supposedly fits in?

[@chickennugget3837]

Why did you stop making videos I loved them so much hope you can keep doing them one day.

[@bebibroly5]

I'd say I never had problems with reading through the dialogue in TTYD, as the game had a brilliant script and engaging characters.

[@BlancRocks]

Lovely Retrospective. My favourite Paper Mario is the 64 version. I love it because of the colourful locations and the music. While TTYD did have a better battle system and graphics and locations (for me) were rather dull and the music wasn't as nice. It's a real shame they changed the battle system with the other two games.

[@MrBluntDestroyer]

I love your videos they are AWESOME!!!!

[@jasonbonner372]

So right. TTYD is such a great game!

[@TheChazzyC]

Yes another retrospective!!

[@paulgauldin1658]

Another funny part of the game, Jr. Troopa has to swim back to Toad Town

[@Rakkushi]

YES! MY FAVORITE MARIO SERIES GETS A RETROSPECTIVE TTuTT

[@keynotes8114]

I love you. Your videos rock. Keep up the good work.

[@namedude_dev]

6:35 Are those shy guys locked in that small area? Jeez i know shy guys are enemys, but thats taking it a bit too far

[@THEROBLOXPLAYAH]

Ermagawd. I remember playing PMTTYD when I was little. It was frikkin amazing to me. Wish I still had it...

[@redmario7]

I enjoyed this retrospective. Do Kirby retrospective in the future!

[@SilentMeteorite]

The original Paper Mario was titled Mario's Story in Japan.

[@DJBadran]

I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@ProClassClown]

you better than the million subed people

[@AnthonyLisi]

I was wondering if you can do retrospective on Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet and Clank.

[@GamersXnostalgia]

I really wanted the traditional Paper Mario for the 3DS, but damn Sticker Star ruined it for me.

[@kashkobi]

I loved the thousand year door. I still have the game and the gamecube

[@brysonadams8065]

To this day paper Mario thousand year door is my favorite paper Mario game

[@jonathanmurphy5995]

Thousand year door if the best paper Mario I ever played. Even after you beat the game you still can fill empty badges you haven't found yet.

[@PyroGato6464]

I miss this channel :(

[@djarb824]

Do a retrospective on Sly Copper.

[@stanleyhood2693]

I had paper Mario the day it was released. I love it so much

[@MegaDude10]

Fun Fact: In 1000 year Door, they actually have a long dialouge peice right at the end of a time-limited section as a possible stab at the trope.

[@AaronsGame]

I love these videos

[@ThyKosmikTym]

*See's this* WAIT WAIT WAIT I REMEMBER YOU! :D

[@NostalgiaNerd777]

can you do a retrospective on ratchet and clank, either that or do a retrospective on ninja gaiden or castlevania

[@shutyourmouth2002]

Do the History of the EarthBound/Mother series!

[@mickael486]

I enjoy your vids. you do your homework. 100 stars for you.

[@DjStiv3]

lol "another peach fetching quest" yeah mario go fetch that pretty peach

[@robosuit]

Video became much more watchable when I increased the speed to 1.25. This is the first video of yours I've watched, and I can only criticize the talking speed.

[@AgentXRifle]

Hey could you do a video about the history of 3DO? They have many underrated games and no one seems to talk about them.

[@TotallyTurles234]

OMG! I just found your channel I love your vids SUBSCRIBE!

[@tidge91]

KLONOA :D love that game and would love to have a retrospective on it

[@MerryKuraii]

Awesome video

[@quipyco.5515]

I love your videos

[@Punkadelic2112]

I enjoyed more SMRPG and the Mario and Luigi games than Paper Mario. I'm not saying it's bad, but I never felt like I wanted to continue playing it...... PS: You're cute :P

[@juanstrong3695]

I hope the next Paper Mario game brings back the magic of the first two.

[@Half-HeartHero]

Reference to Sword & Sorcery at 1:25

[@GmbtEXE]

Can you make a retrospective of the phoenix wright franchise

[@silvestars2112]

Can I make request? Can you make the history of Sonic the Hedgehog?

[@toongrowner1]

Will you also talk about the DS rpg's? Like Super star sage? Also my suggestions: Rayman, Oddworld, Jak and Daxter, Persona 4 and the feeble files. ^^;

[@TheGameDirect]

I'm planning to do the Mario & Luigi series for a separate video in the future. Thanks for your suggestions =)

[@toongrowner1]

Ah okay, loocking forward. Cause I love this series. :-) And thanx a lot. ^^ Keep up your show. YOu make the best retrosspectives in my opinion. ^^

[@namedude_dev]

8:19

[@lytningthief]

You should do star fox or legend of zelda history next :D

[@joenunyabeeswax3790]

Paper Mario 2 is my favorite game of all time.

[@sebastianchavez1836]

Do a Sonic retrospective

[@hyperlybola]

Well paper mario when i first got it I was 6 years old. And it took me an entire year to get past chapter 1. When I was 8/9 I got paper mario the thousand year door

[@itsScoots]

Actually the cameos of original partners is still in there and it's when you finish the game, I believe it's only Lady Bow but there are paper mario 64 partners in there that's for sure.

[@bradcureton6101]

I love Paper Mario and Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door! I wish Nintendo would stay with the RPG style instead of moving away from it like in Super Paper Mario..

[@christianlukaszek1850]

I like this channel

[@yahirdeleon3481]

please make a history of game componies

[@WeSkateVegas]

Didn't you guys make a history of mario video ? I can't find it I could of sworn I saw one :(((

[@gabeguzman]

I wish they would make and another super mario rpg like return of smithy or something like that!

[@MrWarners14]

What about a MOTHER retrospective?
