This Paper Mario "Pro Mode" Hack is Seriously Difficult!

[@Stryder7x]

If you're not a fan of the livestream highlights format, don't worry, this is just a bonus video while I'm in between projects! Next video is planned to be about glitches. I'll probably do a similar highlight reel for my Paper Mario: Master Quest streams, which is an even harder romhack than Pro Mode.

[@ZinfinityX]

I remember thinking TTYD was just okay when my brother and I first played it. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, but to me the pacing was off, like a 2 day blockbuster rental. A look back at this first one reveals a more methodical act structure. Nearly every chapter has 3 segments leading up to the climax of its arc giving the playthrough more breadth. You get a sense of your surroundings and how your interactions with the local characters bear significant weight. I'm really glad that the shufflizer and mods like this are in the fold. They remind me why I enjoyed this series so much.

funny thing is, there are crashes in this hack that can crash the game, and not just ones from the vanilla game. i've personally had it crash on the koopa bros. rematch, though heard it can on a few other places like the goomba bros rematch. there might be other crashes, though i'm sure some vanilla game crashes are still here too.

[@alexninten8818]

Whats the difference and whats better? Im trying to decide on which mod to play. I been wanting to do a paper mario lets play but been trying to think of a way for it to be more challenging. And I just discovered this and master mode. But cant find any post on the vs between Pro mode and master mode. And what is Luigi mode?

[@AMH9000]

Alex Ninten Luigi’s Challenge disables level ups and gives you around 64 BP. This is activated by talking to Luigi before you start the prologue. Master Quest vs. Pro Mode. Pro mode has double damage, increased enemy stats, some new events, and a lot of rebalancing on the player side (badges and partners) Master Quest is essentially just more of what Pro Mode is, but it also has brand new areas, new badges, repurposed partner moves (a few of them have different effects now), even more events, even higher enemy stats, clever battle layouts, new enemies (some scrapped from OG Paper Mario and some new ones), new mechanics in some fights, and a lot more. Fatguy703 made blind playthroughs of both hacks, so check him out if you want.
