In Paper Mario 64, the macguffin is the Star Rod from Kirby's Adventure. We know Paper Mario takes place in a magical book that was brought to life. We also know the Star Rod has the ability to bring dreams to life, and it was created by the Ancients, who traveled to many different worlds. I believe the Star Rod is what brought the Paper Mario universe into existence, by giving life to the book it somehow found it's way into.

Origami king is probably the only paper mario game that feels like a horror game.I mean there is death everywhere

[@Hdx64]

RIP bobby the first time I saw that scene my jaw was on the floor

[@scar_chi2378]

Honestly, I love the game. I don't understand the hate.

[@uroskesic6117]

@@scar_chi2378 I love the game too it s one of my favorite switch games

[@jayv9070]

I kind of loved it though

[@Schollchen]

I really loved Origami King as well, I need to replay it after I’m done with the thousand year door

[@kaizokush6974]

This man thought he was Scott for a second 😂

[@tiffany-chan1235]

I legit did not expect a iceberg video from Mojoplays but you know what I dig it

[@jemilumanzor7049]

This has to be the best video ever made to explain the Paper Mario franchise to newbies.

[@kyledenson1287]

I can tell that this video was well thought out can’t wait to watch it

[@Chino429]

Omfg i never knew about the Power Bounce cap! Nintendo really out here just gaslighting us 😭 i knew dam well that i didn't miss those jumps

[@nomo4u886]

Man I love iceberg videos

[@Guardianangel934]

This is a lot more effort than I’ve come to expect from WatchMojo- I guess I’ll give this channel another chance! I will say it would be nice if the clips matched the rare situations you were talking about more- I know that involves reaching out to creators more though

[@farodtrii9823]

Fun fact bombart no longer stay awake to luigi story in the remake of mario the thousand year door

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

31:20 Bobbery has a British accent is my new headcanon now

[@strangefishman7635]

that was always my headcanon for him lol

[@nicholsonl49]

"What the dog doin?"😂

[@PhantomDusclops92]

36:10 actually the snowmen gifts trigger the first time you visit the Shiver City inn after the snowmen move out, not just after they did it. I got the gifts when visiting the inn right after completing the Crystal Palace.

[@Journoid]

14:11 Angels & Demons AND Journoid Cameo appearance in a MojoPlays video?? LETS GOOOOO

[@Shaprite]

Wow, I didn't think something so recent would be on here.

[@aksuskaani]

Such a good video

[@Falco_1987]

great video! but i wish in certain sections you showed direct footage of the thing you are referring to rather than game footage loosely related to the subject... Example includes the robotic gears of Mimi and the yoshis on the traincar just to name a few...

[@mojoplays]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@dalayzie1360]

Hopefully PM64 gets the same treatment as TTYD one day…

[@QuillShott]

In the Japanese version of the Thousand-Year door, we get to see where the smorg come from. For unknown reasons this was cut in the European and American versions.

[@archmagemc3561]

That ideology about not being able to "make new characters" is a lie he said. There was never a mandate like that. The reason he said it though, is because he wanted his company to have the copyright to those characters, but Nintendo owns the copyrights of any characters he made. So he said that to divert rage, but its not true.

[@Draven_starboy]

I think the stick attack in color splash can be a reference to frisk from undertale, yellow paint is to reference frisk's yellow skin, the stick is one of their first weapons

[@Hdx64]

Great video. I do have some issues tho. Paper Mario... Yes i agree it was called mario story in jp, but there are several paperlike themes. The first tower, the koopa bros frotress have enemies escaping through the slits and you can do the same and... Most notably when you go to sleep you just rest there like a sheet of paper

[@GermanCricket13]

In the fortress there’s also that scene where Yellow sets a trap for Mario causing him to fall into the prison underneath. Both Mario and his partner fall like sheets of paper. There’s Kammy Koopa being taped into the intro cutscene. Theres There’s the animations for when a bridge is activated. King Goomba’s fortress falls apart like a paper model. And there’s plenty more examples

[@dolorous.1118]

cool and all but could you idk maybe actually show relative footage to half of these things?

[@20000dino]

43:45 "Ninji, can lower-dablOck."

[@jlshootingstar333]

30:45 is that an ATLA reference lmao

[@xm2895]

OK I like these series

[@PrideEepy64]

1:28 they literally put that in

[@allpremier]

4:49 BELDAM ATTACK

[@Gogopowerandy]

Wait, did the narrator seriously just “Hey all, Scott here” us??

[@Leo-pd4fc]

Tomorrow's the Day! 😆

[@k3meister]

I could be wrong but I thought paper Mario on 64 in Japan was Mario RPG 2???

[@danielfernandez4906]

Nice

[@20000dino]

36:58 43:45

[@partofthetribe3277]

Every time he says ttyd i always think of this town needs guns

[@russellsilva9128]

this dude stealing from scott the woz smh better be homage

[@Light14Lilium]

Im sorry....Ms Flurrie's mouth piece? What? WHERE? You mean her lips? ....wth???

[@limericky8548]

[@HeavenlyMercury2800]

Honestly the Vivian Is Trans section at 10:49 aged like wine

[@jessepoisson1913]

Vivian isn't trans

[@O_CABBAGE]

Aged like milk

[@jessepoisson1913]

@O_CABBAGE she isn't lol so your comment makes you look like an idiot, Nintendo left it up to the player to decide what she is

[@limericky8548]

​@@O_CABBAGEywnbaw

[@Some_Random_Guy11]

Jesus loves you!

[@OrbitalFrog_]

Nobody asked

[@limericky8548]

​@@OrbitalFrog_ I did

[@amberblymiller7677]

Vivian is not trans. SHE is a shadow. Ppl need to stop trying to make this trans stuff happen within games.

[@weerez762]

Nintendo just made her canonically trans so... cry abt it ig

[@venmissa]

What…? Shadows aren’t alive in real life, so who cares if the shadow in game is he, she, they, cis, trans, straight, gay? Who cares?

[@Hdx64]

You need to let it go. In the original japanese script she describes herself as as having a boy's body with a cute girl's heart inside. This was changed by the English translation, but the original intent was always there. I'm no pro or against, these are just facts

[@shaetebbet9054]

Bobbery is a BOMB but still goes by he/him, and the remake has further canonized Vivian being trans, it’s not a big deal and makes her character arc more compelling.
