THE NEW STRONGEST BOSS IN PAPER MARIO IS HILARIOUS

This is a clip of my stream where I battle a new TTYD superboss.
I feel like they were copying someone's homework a bit here.

I'm sure a lot of you already know, but on May 23rd 2024 the remake for the GameCube CLASSIC Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door released for Nintendo Switch!
If you're looking this far down, I can tell you that this Whacka boss battle is dumb fun and hilarious. At this point I feel like the developers must be aware of the modding community lol
Sure they put him at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials, but it's an interesting way to make Whacka Bumps renewable I guess.
KZbin does have a 12 hour stream limit, so I probably won't finish the game in one single stream. I'll be back with more once I've gotten some sleep.
Also keep in mind I won't be reading that much text or talk to NPC's. This first playthrough will be a first look at mechanics, oddities, classic exploits and general game-feel/improvements. A more slow and casual look is sure to come later.
CHECK OUR CASUAL TTYD PLAYTHROUGH ► • Paper Mario: The Thous...
I will of course try to pay attention to what's new. The Shadow Sirens and Vivian changes come to mind. Though I am also very excited for all the changed and BRAND NEW music.
Let's hope Intelligent Systems and Nintendo did our treasured classic justice!

[@TehSkullKid]

I kind of wish they made Jr. Troopa a superboss too, playing off that little cameo in Zip Toad's email. It'd be amazing to just go back to Riverside Station or something and just, out of nowhere, hear "MARIOOOOOOO!" and then the music starts playing.

[@Zihark_]

Ahhh this is SUCH a missed opportunity! I didn't even think about that. A fully powered 200 HP Jr. Troopa with every battle gimmick imaginable would have been incredible. Just to hear him say "Darn it, darn it, DAAAARN IIIITTTT!!!!!!" at the end 😂😂

[@nsiderultimaseth]

They could've added Jr. Troopa as like a 1% spawn any time you change screens post-game, so you never really know when he's gonna appear. I forget the term for it, but they would need to program it so that you're guaranteed to get him in 100 screen changes so you don't have to run back and forth for hours to see him. So post-game you've got a 1/100 on your first screen change, then a 1/99 on the second, and so on until you get a guaranteed Jr. Troopa encounter. I'd love to have seen him return in this remake.

I’m surprised that with all the mods that added a Whacka fight, not a single one of them had Whacka use the bumps as projectiles or heals to Whacka.

[@charismaentertainer1657]

To be fair, no one would expect Wacka basically unlocking a cheat code and healing himself more than the damage it takes to get the bump.

[@S113Productions]

In PM64, one of his attacks was throwing his bump, but whenever he did, it would crash the game ‘cause Whacka is an unused and unfinished enemy, so the game can’t process Whacka throwing his bump, lol.

It’s the other way around. Paper Mario 64 had an unused whacka fight in its code, which modders worked off of.

[@TheHumbleFellow]

I love how the battle's designed to dissuade Power Bounce. The more you hit him the more times he gets to hit you.

[@Rexaura888]

The Remake in general really feels like it’s encouraging players to use builds that don’t include Power Bounce or to get good at getting frame perfect jumps since they made the timing more difficult (instead of 7-7-6-6-5-4-3-2-1-1… it’s 7-7-6-1-4-3-2-1-1… so they expect most players to only get three bounces in per use).

[@RandomHans]

unless you're cracked at superguarding

[@celestialspark5697]

I mean... you should still Power Bounce (or use Mega Rush P strats), just with a focus on getting more damage per hit. You will always need about the same number of hits to kill him, and slowing the fight down just means that he will get more bumps that are only worth 1 of his HP. Just also use Boo's Sheets or Life Shrooms. Or Rally Wink to kill him in one turn.

[@Mikman360]

I mean... I still used Power Bounce as a prime source of damage lol.

[@the_shadow3168]

the fact they added this AND mush just shows how much love was poured into this, i just remember the community talking about how the whaka you hit shouldve attacked you as a secret boss, or that mush shouldve been a secret boss fight. to see both become true is just awesome. also to further add to this, kinda funny that unlike mush, wacka HAS one status condition he's actually weak to...and its the one that damages him, aka, strengthening him. the dev's knew what they were doing.

@yomama9390 I know it’s not much, but not only is it a remake that fans have been asking for for about 20 years or so at this point, but it’s also a complete asset remake of the game and it adds little extra details into the game! Am I saying that you’re wrong? No, because tbf the only new thing content wise that was added was the two bosses, but they did a lot outside of the content additions so it does sorta make sence as to why Prince Mush and Wacka are the only two new bosses

[@WL-bs4nc]

@thepainpanda7681 Yeah, there’s little to improve when it comes to the challenge of TTYD, unlike when they remade Mario RPG last year. That’s why they added a lot more postgame to that one

[@Maximax_]

Honestly it's a pretty cool boss fight, though it's kind of a missed opportunity that superguarding the bumps doesn't work like superguarding pokey segments. Like imagine if whacka used superguards too and you had to volley the bumps back at him a few times

[@enlongjones2394]

I feel like for the stage hazard move, that’s a turn where it makes sense to skip the turn with Veil. It’s like a boss spending a turn charging.

[@GoblinSquid]

That would only work if they didn't use the charge move again right after, which Wacka does.

[@BlueMetal]

This is the strat I used. He always spends the turn when you're vulnerable to create bumps, with the following turn while you're veiled to throw them. Made the fight actually free, even if kinda slow and tedious.

[@YanntastischGER]

I can't believe this is a real thing in a official Nintendo remake. The devs MUST love the modding community.

[@Goomba456]

I don't see any ways that they'd come up with a whacka superboss that DOESN'T require them knowing about his presence in modding

[@Cobalt957]

Whacka was supposed to be a boss or at least encounterable in battle so its not too far off. RPGs also generally like to have one silly super boss so its plausible that they came up with this idea

[@LonesomeDevil]

​@@Cobalt957 I think both reasoning can be true at the same time. They probably got the idea from the fact that it was originally scrapped, but were motivated in implementing it in for the remake by how enthusiastic the modding community has been in the last decade or so.

[@TheGreenDigi]

Definitely feel like Mush is a much more difficult fight since you can't mow him down just as easily as whacka. Honestly think Whacka just needs to be able to heal with his bumps more often instead of basically only once, that'd be what really helps push him toward being on par with Mush. This is still an amazing fight, and both bosses are amazing in their own ridiculous ways

[@miepsi4299]

Atleast there should be a scripted heal when he reaches 1HP which fills his whole HP again. Would fit to a troll boss

[@TheGreenDigi]

@@miepsi4299 Well we know the red whacka bumps heal 75 hp, could be fitting for him to eat one of those. Not a full heal but at least would fit with what they have already there. But I do dig the idea for sure

[@squiddu]

Maybe its too much to ask, but I REALLY hope both of them get changes in any potential patches. Have a damage cap on the first phase of Mush to combat OHKOs, and make Whacka heal more often. They're minor enough changes that I feel they're possible, but I dunno

@@squiddu Don't remove OHKO strats, if people want to cheat themselves out of the fight let them. This game isn't meant to be hard but rather allow options and creativity to avoid mechanics should be rewarded. Whacka healing more often just pushes 25+ damage strats to make the fight a joke while making those under likely to become impossible potentially even soft locking you. You just fought through at least 50 floors to get here, the fight can't be too extreme and has to be built with that in mind.

[@TheEpicGBX]

I'm pretty sure that I'm not the first person to realize this. but given the gimmick of the fight that Whacka self damage itself with hazards to gain it's attack. you can do a "pacifist" challenge in which you just superguard all of Whacka's moves until it's health reaches 0.

Is there some kind of trick or timelimit or is it actually completely random when you get the mail? I don't want to go into the pit again only to be greeted by nothing but just aimlessly running around isn't much better. EDIT: NEVERMIND!!! I just got it literally after writing this! As if the game fucking knew.

Felt. I went down the pit with the mindset of "I'll get the email before I reach the bottom." I reach the bottom, leave, get the email like 5m later.

AIN'T NO WAY, THE BOSS THQT WAS SCRAPPED 30 YEARS AGO HAS BEEN REINPLEMENTED

Would the fight be possible if Whacka healed optimally? Thanks for the vids btw, you put on a great show in these battles :D

So how do you fight this guy? Is it like the shadow fight in Super Paper Mario after doing the 100 trials twice?

[@AndyLundeen]

Curious if Art Attack would've caused a bump with each hit; I'm gonna guess yes. Maybe he also only heals if there's only one bump on the stage, or perhaps his RNG for picking "heal" goes down with each bump on the stage? I also wonder if it ate the red bump if it would have healed an enormous amount, lol

I had a feeling a new enemy appeared in the Pit of 100 Trials because of the Tattle Log (133 was the one I was missing, it's after the Shadow Queen and it's after Bonetail if sorted by place) so I did the pit again right after beating it and didn't find anything at the bottom so I had to look up how to unlock it and got spoiled 😢 that's what I get for sparring Wacka on the island LOL (thank you devs for the option to skip to Floor 50...)
