Episode 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a163pXqandJmpKs

[@Drakuma35]

30:24 something I realized about this when watching the cutscene, the geno doll was actually made of wood while the others were made of something else, probably plastic or something, so geno legitimately is the strongest doll

[@stephanniemorin]

He's not a doll, he's a real boy!

[@synonym1196]

It makes sense; the Mario, Peach and Bowser dolls were likely bought mass-produced but Geno is Gaz's Original Character Do Not Steal that was presumably made for him from some local woodworker.

[@galaxycamerata]

@@synonym1196 ...Oh my god, he saw it as the strongest because it was literally a wish granted with hard work and love.

[@massgunner4152]

​@@synonym1196whoever made that doll must have been a gunsmith in another town because that finger gun knocked Mario out cold.

[@Shalakor]

@@massgunner4152 Nah, Mario just has a glass jaw. Hasn't fought many foes that would straight up bludgeon him upside the face at this point, so not much practice taking punches or similar strikes.

[@Kirbicle]

Something I love about Mario RPG is that each no member feels useless, as they all have their own specific uses, with Mario being the all-around member, Mallow being the mage, Geno being the glass cannon, Bowser being the tank, and Peach being the healer, so each member has their specific times when they are the best for the situation. Except Peach, who is always useful

[@vivalaglavii6736]

Except, unfortunately, Bowser becomes useless as a tank when you get certain items that can turn any character into one.

[@Kirbicle]

Lazy shell doesn’t count!

[@gastrictank4916]

@@Kirbicle Even not taking the Lazy Shell armor into account, Bowser's role as a tank/physical attacker is lessened by the fact that everyone's stats are pretty homogenized (with a few exceptions) when equipped with their best weapon/armor and having chosen optimal level up bonuses, especially since Bowser's gear provides substantially less than all the others'. Bowser's HP may be the highest, but other characters are close to or exceed his other stats, defenses included. Any character can tank a whole round of attacks from postgame Culex and all 4 Crystals and immediately be healed up to full with Group Hug or an item, and fight back with stronger attacks. Bowser's only real niche is inflicting Fear and Poison, but that's simply outclassed by Mario and Geno's raw damage output, Geno and Peach's support, and Mario and Mallow's ability to target elemental weaknesses. Bowser is great for style points, though.

[@Kirbicle]

@@gastrictank4916Okay yeah, while Bowser is probably the most useless member, and nobody really ever uses Bowser, he’s still not completely unusable, and all 3 of the triple moves he’s involved in are pretty good

[@SleepyBuggo]

@@gastrictank4916I mean only thing bowser has is at least the triple moves? It’s pretty good to use in the culex fight and all 3 are AoEs compared to the others which are more for the team or single target so he’s not completely bad but he does lack

[@enlongjones2394]

23:46 my thoughts on Geno is that the love for the character has always been pretty uncomplicated. People like him because he’s got a cool, recognizable design, because he has useful skills in battle, and because he has *gun fingers* and *laser beams*. Who doesn’t like a party member who shoots 4 kinds of laser beams?

[@gothnerd887]

I thought it was because he's hot😍

[@oudkee5185]

@@gothnerd887 you and i should be friends based on this response alone. thank you for saying what i've been thinking all this time

[@lilyaka9194]

He’s also super nice A kid asks to play with him and he tells him he genuinely wants to 🥺

[@misterzygarde6431]

If it wasn’t for Square owning the Mario RPG characters, I could totally see Mallow joining in with the fun spin-offs like Party, Tennis, and especially Kart

[@blackmario1117]

I've heard Nintendo might buy the characters if the remake do good in sales.

[@jonathanmendezperez7818]

​@@blackmario1117Is there an actual source for this or that is just a rumor?

[@blackmario1117]

@jonathanmendezperez7818 just a rumor so far.

[@Titleknown]

To be fair, even if they did, they still might not. Given how Nintendo has no such excuse with the characters from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi sub-series and yet they're basically never featured in spinoff games except a couple of times during the Gamecube era. Or how Squeenix developed multiple Mario sports games and that one Fortune Street crossover but never once used anything from Mario RPG except for one remix. NOT THAT I'M BITTER OR ANYTHING (he lied).

[@Juniverse0]

Now that you mention it, I do find it odd that Geno/Mallow haven’t appeared in Mario Sports games yet, considering Square developed a few of them. Hell, Mario Hoops and Sports Mix even have Final Fantasy and even Dragon Quest characters playable.

[@enlongjones2394]

Here’s something fun: Shooting Star Shot is the attack Gaz calls out when playing with the Geno toy. It’s also the name of the Mario/Bowser/Geno triple move.

[@JMartini810]

A *SMALL* detail I miss is when using Magic Powers Mario would summon like an Spade Ace symbol and Mallow would summon a Clover I think Geno was the Star Bowser the Diamond and Peach the Heart ! This Remake has been everything to me ! I hope there is a hard mode *Don't answer that* and I also can't wait for the end game boss rematches !!!

[@Choctopus]

True!

[@cobaltordinaire5219]

i've never understood why those were there, honestly

[@JMartini810]

@@cobaltordinaire5219 Because it's cool ! 😎

[@cerulee]

The shade Geno threw on Mario was fantastic like "yeah I didn't want to be the guy in red he looked like a dork" 😂

[@XSuicuneX]

I love how Geno is so cool and mysterious and yet he's just a glorified repair man. It's great.

[@BJGvideos]

I mean...that's Mario's job too when you get down to it.

[@yourresume373]

He’s also not *trying* too hard to be cool, that’s what made him stand out to me originally I think. I appreciate a character who can trip over himself, fall asleep on accident, and get mad when people consistently mispronounce the Star Road, and is still cool and stoic in the eyes of the audience. He’s just so charming! Edit: I fear I have gravely misworded this analysis. By “he’s not trying too hard to be cool” I meant more that the writers weren’t trying too hard to make him cool. Geno himself tries very hard to act cool lmao

[@crosscharayt986]

​@@yourresume373I would say Geno is a very stoic character, the reason why people believe he's so clumsy is only because he struggles to get accustomed to his new legs, causing him to lose balance and trip over himself frequently.

[@yourresume373]

@@crosscharayt986 You act like he can’t be both. He has trouble controlling his limbs, for the reason you’ve described. This contrasts with his mysterious and otherworldly nature, which makes for a fun character.

[@crosscharayt986]

@@yourresume373 It doesn't exactly contrast with his mysterious and otherworldly nature when it isn't in his control.

[@danielferrieri7434]

This game should have a dlc where you fight Sephiroth with only Geno, and the reward would be a Smash Invitation.

[@studstudios6614]

A NEW FOE HAS APPEARED.

[@conjohn51]

I actually think geno has a chance at getting into smash again

[@mXi-jq1cj]

And in Smash 6, you will only be able to unlock Geno by doing the same thing you do to unlock any character, but he only appears if you do it with Sephiroth.

[@SheepRunner]

given how we have 3D sprites, animations, and mostly everything that would be needed for a character, i think he is possible to be made. That. . or he becomes an Assist Trophy

[@thepainpanda7681]

HOW HYPE WOULD THAT BE. Like when the new smash is revealed to be coming (none of the characters, just that it’s coming) this game gets an update where in the post game you can do a really hard boss with only geno and no other party members (like sephiroth like you mentioned) and once you beat it the boss goes “you beat me? I see why they said you’re such a great fighter! Well, I guess you deserve this” (You got the Smash Invitation!)

[@Myhomeisacave]

26:26 Can we just look at how well the music synced here?

[@plufim]

The triple attack with Mario, Geno and Bowser is basically the aerial attack from Advent Children.

[@StretchDude]

I always pronounced "Belome" as "below-me" since he was always fought underground. His Monster List entry has shown me what a fool I was.

[@strangefishman7635]

i was wondering if his name was a pun on that!

[@yourresume373]

Is was so sad to find that out. Apparently it’s a Japanese pun instead 🥲

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

Even if Geno doesn't join the roster of the next Smash title, I'm happy he's in a Switch Game so that others will experience this masterpiece RPG, And understand the Hype around this Star Warrior.

[@Vyhox2000]

"A look that a shadow can appreciate" I'm pretty sure he called you fat

[@narri_l_official]

19:24 Or just any weapon in general. Like, uh, say... THE "FROG STICK" THAT YOU GLOSSED OVER?!

[@Choctopus]

Gotta go get the pie.

[@dieselbrown9930]

You saying “mallow shut the hell up” make ls my day

[@unownz5501]

I love the voice acting w/ these characters! You are just in pure bliss w/ this playthrough and the remastered Geno introduction! Very happy for both old and new fans to play this in an accessible and modern way.

28:38 The moment when Bowyer questions his life decisions (nya)

[@revletter7]

Mr. Shooty-Hands McWishPuppet. 🤣

[@mskywalker9546]

I wanted to say this on the first video. I am just happy you're playing a game that brings back good memories and joy. Looks like Christmas came early.

[@RaiohTheHunter]

Dude, you missed getting the Froggy stick from Frogfucious.

[@James89227]

I really like the sound design of this game! A lot of the sounds were from the original, but they still sound so good!

[@ModernAegis]

I'm starting to see why everyone loved this game so much.

[@trevorweisberg8470]

I'm just thankful the remake is as good as the original. Imagine if it had gone the pokemon diamond/pearl remake route...

[@BigHailFan]

@trevor nah. nintendo would never go full pokemon. you never go full pokemon.

Bro has finally played this game.

[@krida123]

11:04 Grandpa has perfect taste in posters.

[@cryolitegem]

Geno’s so cool, he isn’t weaker to fire compared to the others, despite being made of wood

[@Myrtneough]

My only hope is that Choc doesn't do what everyone has been doing by hard dumping Mallow for the rest of the game as soon as the next party member joins only to dump them after for the last.

[@Choctopus]

Nah. I’ll probably rotate evenly.

[@wingis95]

​@@Choctopus The ability to swap party members even mid fight makes it very easy.

[@wackko300]

You know, it's funny you mentioned that Player's Guide for Super Mario RPG because I still have it and its mostly accurate too!;)

[@esrohm6460]

can we talk about how mario is a psychopath in this game. he wants to beat up children for them not making him look like a perfect hero in their games, his first thought when seeing a villain is to beat them to death and he would just completely ignore his friends when their are in danger and or hurt. i'm just amazed that mario did instantly want to rip geno into pieces fir the insolence of saying the mario doll looked weaker than another

[@stevesamuals2651]

First he misses the toad jump frog coin, and now he misses the froggy stick

choc seein your videos makes me feel happy thanks for posting every few days!

[@magicvalgirl2309]

Geno should be the LAST SMASH FIGHTER in the next smash bros.. Think about it, he's Nintendo AND Square Enix, Mario (made by Nintendo) was the first and Sora (made by Square Enix [and Disney]) was the last. So it makes sense Geno could be the thing that ties the next game together, the piece of the first and last becoming one. Fitting isn't it?

[@mrcwillis6970]

Bowyer and the forest maze has been one of my favourite areas in the game so far. That boss was a good way of introducing the team attacks. Geno is pretty cool, don’t get the massive amounts of hype for him tho maybe when I play more of the game I will.

[@Charnutboy]

The hype was honestly just fostered by the community and the insane cult classic status of the game lol edit: but don't get me wrong, Geno is awesome and has lots of cool moments

[@JamesR1986]

Mallow>>>Geno. But Smash is not a game friendly towards slow magic users, with weak physical attacks.

[@albinozoidberg3382]

The lesson of this video is to never underestimate Boo

[@jaceclegg530]

I get how Mallow has never heard of Star Road, but I never understood how Mario hasn’t heard of it, seeing as it’s highly unlikely that he didn’t uncover and use at least one of the five Star Road portals in Super Mario World, which was released five years prior to the original Super Mario RPG.

Let's be honest, Geno never left our parties when we got him.

[@firenze6478]

I don’t know if you have, but you should totally play Sea of Stars after this. It’s basically the same gameplay but with a chrono trigger like storyline that lulls you into thinking it’s ordinary in the beginning before hitting you constantly with new twists and surprises

The Mario RPG dlc should be multiplayer. I would love to just play this with friends and hear them yell about how “I’m not healing them”. XD
