Top 10 Good & 7 Bad Changes in The Thousand Year Door Remake (Paper Mario)

[@JoProGaming]

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! Let me know which game you prefer and don't forget to subsribe. I have a tonnnn of Paper Mario stuff uploaded this past month.

[@guythomas5275]

Man where did you get your shirt it's amazing ❤

[@Jay7707]

Thank you for making a very hypocritical video.

[@WayWardWonderer]

No mention of Luigi appearing on the title screen once you buy all of his books? Shameful.

[@dbv8600]

The reason for the train switches thing is that it is supposed to be funny! As a kid I was easily amused and I laughed a lot at this. The train station looks realitively realistic, the 1st switch looks exactly like what you would expect from an old fashion train switch and for a breif moment I forgot I was playing a Mario game much less a Paper Mario game. But then at the very end they throw in an unrealistic and stereotypical Mario switch with a cartoony reveal and I was broght back to reality or non-reality as I laughed and said oh that kind of switch!

[@BrokenKeyboard14]

I think I love you 😳

[@llamaboy]

I sort of just assumed that the switch thing in riverside station was intended as a joke - you expect that physical switch to be the one to close the drawbridge, only for it to completely arbitrarily summon a new button which is the one that actually closes it - and contradicting sensible design, won’t allow it to be opened again

[@e-mananimates2274]

That's a good take on it.

[@evanseifert8858]

The fact that it's so unnecessarily elaborate is kinda funny.

[@origiginal8056]

I think that's true because there are multiple other gags similar to it; when you return to Hooktail castle to find a magical item only for that item to be an up arrow reminding Merlon to look in his attic where the actual magic item he needs was all along.

[@Obstagoon862]

I think the reason you use the Switch keyboard when naming the baby Yoshi is so that you can't name him anything inappropriate.

[@nascour5991]

but you can name doopliss assface and the game just pretends you didn't

[@PianistTanooki]

Definitely not the case. I named him Dick Wad in my first playthrough of the original game (don’t ask, I was a teenager), and have defaulted to that name every time I replay the game. I decided to try that name in the remake to keep the tradition going… and it worked! So I don’t think there are any filters there.

[@KingdomHeartsFan-mu9cf]

@@PianistTanookiMaybe it thinks you mean the name Dick?

[@Newbie_hiblitz]

@@nascour5991honestly he deserved that

[@captianblitz]

It might be a technical thing. Doopliss and the fortress door are a “do it once and forget” input. Yoshi is a permanent addition to the dailouge, so it might need to be something refrencable in Switch OS. I don’t know WHY, but it’s just a guess

[@OriginalElysian]

I had no idea people called TEC "T-E-C". That's just...wrong. It's TEC! TEC! Pronounced like "tech"! Also, regarding the Riverside station switch/blue switch. I always liked that. It was a big joke. You think the realistic looking switch will be THE switch, but no, it just gives you access to the real switch...which is a Mario-esque blue ! switch. I love it!

[@RedStoneMatt]

Here's an uninteresting fact for you: in the french localization, TEC is literally called Tech, so I agree with you!

[@itslegiTim]

​@@RedStoneMatt same goes for the german localization. His Name is also "Tech" over here.

[@RedStoneMatt]

@@itslegiTim Interesting. I wonder how it is in the OG Japanese

[@snausages43]

I remember the Game Grumps called him T-E-C. It really bothered me.

[@snausages43]

⁠@@RedStoneMattIt’s テック (Tekku) in Japanese, which is how they say “tech.”

[@christopherrobbins2600]

21:33 I also miss the scream the audience members would make when you'd hit them, usually the x-nauts. I was disappointed to see that missing from the remake

[@FlickyShot]

Yup I agree! another unnecessary change...

[@nicolemonrue]

I noticed that too yesterday when I played the original....wondering why did they take that out?! It's hilarious

[@MarioMastar]

@@nicolemonrue I can only guess since all characters use a unique sound instead of generic sounds, they probably didn't think of making "scream" versions of each audience's sound.

[@NotsilYmerej]

The best part about the fast travel is the pipe between Twilight Town and Creepy Steeple, eliminating the last two trips.

[@darkestmoonoriginal]

The… what!? Where is this pipe? I was dying with the backtracking 😅

[@NotsilYmerej]

@@darkestmoonoriginal farthest house that’s still in town, it connects to the hallway just out of Dooplis’ secret room (with the parrot and letter p), there’s a super hammer block that wasn’t in the original blocking the steeple end of the pipe. It only eliminates the last two trips, the trip back to town alone, and second trip to the steeple (the first one with just Vivian) are still required

[@darkestmoonoriginal]

@@NotsilYmerej aahhh yes I remember that pipe now, when I first found it and tried to go through it it said that the pipe rejected me or something similar. I then forgot about it. I’ll keep it in mind for my next playthrough, thanks for explaining!

[@NotsilYmerej]

@@darkestmoonoriginal I realized after using the pipe under the block, I didn’t remember it from the original

[@Nyahahameha]

@@darkestmoonoriginal How in blazes did you manage to miss it?! You literally can't exit the Steeple after getting the letter "p" without breaking the block it's hidden under! O.o

[@njyankeesfan]

I really miss the loud crowd reactions. Used to make you feel more immersed in the battle.

[@FlickyShot]

Fax that shit got me hyped up back in the day! What a shame they did unnecessary changes

[@jamiecal11]

Also, anyone else notice how much more annoying it is when you have to hit someone in the crowd now? Just feels like busywork rather than something you detect naturally.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

They don't even clap at the end of a battle anymore. Hearing the battle won jingle without the clapping is so weird...

[@HDRookie]

The massive crowd made the late game bosses feel so much bigger and grand than they had any right being, and it's a really bad fumble imo to be missing out on that. It really made you feel how far you've come since the beginning of the game too.

[@levthelion71810]

Other random changes I feel like are worth noting: The danger sound now fades out after a few seconds Yoshi feels not great to control now You can hear luigi cheering when he is in the audience, which is cool

[@exode7414]

No yoshis good to control but I mis his noise he'd make in original

[@MorosSilverwing]

@@exode7414 i also enjoyed Yosh's control and noticed the lack/change in sound. but all I could feel on that was the silver lining is that it's less obnoxious than the original.

[@MarioMastar]

yeah they gave him acceleration rather than instantly changing his speed, kind of like Majora's Mask 3D's Deku Shrub, BUT Yoshi does feel like he moves a lot faster now than before. It takes some getting used to though. Especially when lining up jumps. Definitely hit or miss.

[@brandonbranchaldo8079]

The Riverside Station drawbridge switch leading to a theatrical blue box is a visual gag. It's a joke. And every time I see footage of it, I laugh. I don't think I need to explain the joke any further, I know you get it. But the point was for the developers to play off the player's faculty for logic and deliver a quick little comedic bit. This is also how other speedrunners and challenge runners of the game have seen it, though I'm not sure all of them do or find it as funny as I do lol.

[@brandonbranchaldo8079]

I did not see @llamaboy's comment before I wrote this but yea, same. I should add that having someone man the station who is too afraid to go into the station to operate the bridge is also just as absurdly comedic.

[@FizzyCocoaMan]

only thing i didn't like is that you STILL can't find crump and grodus post game..

[@Pearl_Blossom]

The character name: "TEC," like "tech" JoPro: "teee eee sceee"

[@freshphilip410]

26:50 this is one of the games best examples of it’s sometimes dry sense of humor. after getting through the whole station, you finally find the big important looking switch, and it’s actually just a switch to reveal another generic looking switch

[@JoProGaming]

That makes sense! I never saw it that way haha. Definitely very silly.

[@MarioMastar]

@@JoProGaming Hehe sometimes you just gotta learn to laugh when the world acts silly. Given many people feel that way, I'm glad you found the humor in it too! XD

[@ProxyHaxOO]

I actually like the checkpoint system in the game. Yes, if you lose in the pit, you would normally have to start all over, but it's a nice, less frustrating change. I remember dying at the very end several times in the original game and had to start all over again. Having to spend an additional hour or so to do it over again was very disheartening. This is a very welcome change.

[@devin5124]

If you play the old game on dolphin emulator, you can add in save states to restart from, and you can enhance the graphics a good bit

[@Pearl_Blossom]

It's definitely not the "baby easy mode" this person is making it out to be, not going back to the start means you have to live with any mistakes you made in the preparations and the previous battles that lead you to losing. It's a time save if you lost due to a few mechanical fumbles in the same battle, but if you lost from coming in unprepared, mismanaging your resources, or growing exhausted by the length of the pit then not going back to the start is an active hindrance

[@randomjar6934]

I didn’t even know about this change. I never completed the pit before this remake, but did it on my first try both times. It was a lot more intense thinking I had to restart. Glad I found this out after I already beat the secret bosses.

[@SuperSimmerGal]

I agree. I remember many times getting near the bottom of the pit (which took me at least two hours) and then dying and having to restart from the top. I'm glad they went the Mario & Luigi route there (the later games in that series also allow you to retry battles- or even retry them in easy mode). Plus it's entirely optional, so if you want the challenge of the OG game, you can.

[@MarioMastar]

@@Pearl_Blossom Every time I hear someone say "Baby mode is not wasting an HOUR of your life because the enemy had a Stop watch item and you didn't destroy them in one turn" I seriously have to question if they still go to school or do thier parents pay for them to sit at home playing video games all day.... Remind me of the pokemon elitists who preferred when the only way to get Max IVs and EVs was to hatch eggs for days straight and still to this day complain about the new EXP share mechanic as if we don't just farm raids and get our pokemon to Level 100 that way....as if there's ANY reason to not have a pokemon at level 100. Just time wasting elitism...

[@undertaker150000]

I wish the remake let people read messages they missed just like in the old game. Mostly for the speed text moment with shop keeper's wife in Twilight town. Ya know?

[@sbkeel5639]

I thought the same thing I remember I just rewound her text speech which was very funny to read! Missing the shopkeeper's wife's speech is a game crime!

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, I noticed there's no "Rewind text" feature in this game, despite one being in the original version. I missed some text I wanted to read cause I was tapping too fast (I thought the character was done with their speech but they weren't) and skipped the next box. Kind of strange.

[@nickk3077]

I wish that they didn't remove the ability to name your profiles. I thought that was a cool feature from the original.

[@brandonwilliams6119]

My 3 biggest complaints are 1. The Text Speeds 2. Audience doesn’t boo or cheer you on in battles 3. Butchering certain music tracks and removing specific character sfx like Yoshi’s sprinting and flutter jump

[@FlickyShot]

The audience was the best! I can't believe they messed that up as well...

[@sperryyoungerjr.3985]

Speaking of the sfx. I prefer the sound effect of Vivian pulling Mario into the shadows in the original rather than the new lame sound in the remake.

[@jeremyknight9980]

I hate Yoshi's sound effects in the original, it gets on my nerves especially when you use him for fast travel.

[@ARod3]

Yeah #2

[@SuperSimmerGal]

​@@jeremyknight9980 I'm guessing that's why the removed it. It never annoyed me personally, but I can totally see how it might grate on some people's nerves.

[@oddishsmile7368]

My best guess for the extra save blocks is that they were added because the switch is supposedly portable, but also its original model has a battery life of 2 hours. I have become very familiar with the pitiful battery life of the Nintendo Switch.

[@sonicthehedge]

They could of added temporary quicksaves like every other game though.

[@MarioMastar]

@@sonicthehedge I'd have liked that... my game randomly crashed after getting to the end of Chapter 3 just before the Grubba fight....and i had to redo ALL of chapter 3... cause I didn't save. What I'd have GIVEN for an auto save that you could load from if you didn't hit the save block like Mario RPG remake had (heck when you die and game over, you get something similar where it starts you in the previous room you just entered, so auto save technically existed). After that I literally hit every save block at every point just out of fear it'd crash again.

[@CaelenSawyers]

It’s so aggravating that they have the capability of having fast, skippable text IN GAME already. Example being when Frankie says I love you 100x. I can positively say speedrunners and mega fans are not going to be as drawn to replaying this version repeatedly if they don’t allow text skipping. Period.

[@sunnyta1990]

Maybe people can petition to get Intelligent Systems to enable it as an option

[@robertlauncher]

[@CaelenSawyers]

@@robertlauncher lol fixed ty

[@robertlauncher]

@@CaelenSawyers I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself

[@brandonwilliams6119]

The game clearly doesn’t respect your time and forces you to sit through dialogue the very first time and I can see this hurting the want to replay the game after beating it once, if it had a text speed option and snappier quick menu selection then this would be a perfect remake, but hey nothing and nobody is perfect.

[@zeospark9715]

Yeah I really don't like how they changed "END OF CHAPTER" to "CLEAR!" Like it doesn't even make sense. You start off every chapter with it listing the chapter number and name and when you complete it, it's just a simple "CLEAR" like you just played through a small level. I don't know why they did that it made the end of the chapter seem less dramatic.

[@CosmicLily21]

I disliked that too, I did the chuggaaconroy thing whenever I played the original😆

[@Lt31337Luca]

The sfx that plays during it is pretty wimpy, too. The original smashes each letter into the white bg while the remake just sticks each letter out of the bottom of the curtain.

[@MarioMastar]

They did that cause literally TWO chapters have stuff that happens after you get the Crystal star. It's Chapter 4's entire gimmick and Chapter 5, you have a boss fight after defeating Cortez. So the Chapter isn't over yet. Personally I'm seeing this complaint way too much from people who aren't paying attention to the story of their favorite game and realizing there's a VALID reason for this change.

[@zeospark9715]

@@MarioMastar Or you're just being ignorant. Did you miss the part of the entire game being told as a story by Mario to Luigi?

[@intrepid1160]

20:46 The replacement of the sound for presenting a crystal star to the the Thousand Year Door has to be one of the worst changes, the GameCube version stood out so much.

[@Hutch2Much]

i think the ability to restart the scene after a defeat was put into place _because_ of the pit of 100 trials-specifically, the whacka fight. yeah, i definitely wasn’t about to go through 50 annoying battles all over again just for a chance at that boss

[@tylermercado1445]

Especially since 2 fights between levels 81-99 have 2 Amazy Dayzees in the fight. If you don’t kill or damage them enough early on at a low or medium level, you’re as good as dead.

[@MarioMastar]

and random stop watch enemies that will just kill you for free if you don't kill them. As I said elsewhere, I HATE when people complain about stuff like this that's PURELY meant to save you time. If you literally can't beat the fight, restarting in the same room won't make a difference. TTYD is generally a fairly easy game though, so why punish the player with hours of having to redo most of the pit for dying while all the "Top players" run around doing Peril strats while complaining about how cheesy "Danger Mario" is?

[@AiToYumeNoKaze]

5:27 A personal complaint I have about the audience thing as well is that pulling the focus down to the audience forces your attention to them and interrupts gameplay, forcing your attention also removes the skill that was involved with always keeping an eye on them yourself. It’s no longer this interesting mechanic that is always hovering over you and YOU need to keep an eye on things and learn to do so in the back of your mind the game literally stops to warn you about it AND give you time to identify, it was more interesting when I actually could miss it and get hit because I wasn’t paying attention, or panic because I didn’t know how long they’d ben holding the item up and in my panic hit someone throwing help…. I have NEVER messed this up in the remake or even had to panic. The stage stuff feels like the same issue, it is no longer about staying aware and ready for anything, but something that slows the game down

[@Redpoppy80]

Yeah, they defeated the whole point of audience participation in the first place.

[@sonicthehedge]

Really hate it focuses your attention when that happens because they'll never sneak one. Honestly they should of just removed the mechanic all together if they wanted to add that feature

[@froakie1404]

imo I have jus a lot of thoughts abt this topic so imma just list them Pros 1. New Animations 2. New soundtrack is fire (Ive grown to like it a lot) 3. Pipe Room is a godsend for troubles/cooking 4. 2 new super bosses are really great and play with the combat in unique ways that it actually makes me kinda hopeful that this team can make solid fights in this old combat system 5. Game is SO pretty, I love it, combining the old style with the new style was a perfect choice imo 6. New/Updated cutscenes are perfect I love em 7. So many cool little details were made that enhanced scenes (the final boss cutscenes are so perfect) Cons 1. Text Speed being that slow is REALLY stinky for replays, alongside battle ui bring more of a slog, didn’t bother me on first play at all but after going back to the original it is VERY noticeable, it doesn’t kill the game for me but it singlehandingly makes me prefer the original ngl 2. 30fps, not as bad as I thought but def makes the game feel more choppy than before Otherwise I love this remake a TON, hopefully this is a sign of things to come and gets nintendo to wake up lmaooo

@@the-NightStar It literally does in this case, the timing for many attacks is half of what it was before since it only reads your input every frame.

[@hoesayohlay]

it’s so annoying tbh

[@MarioMastar]

The slow text is a valid reason to be upset though... it really slows the game down cause it really adds up over time. Every time you get a max heal, you have to watch the HP, FP and STar power all fill individually where before it happened at the same time. and getting a starpiece used to let you mash through the jingle, but now you have to wait for the jingle to end before you get control back. It really adds up... The rest of the complaints though... yeah others are schooling the guy on complaining about things that really are just foggy nostalgia glasses. The Riverside station thing was a joke that went over his head, and the game being too easy cause you don't lose hours of progress when you die is just elitist talk. No one PREFERS to waste hours because the enemy had a stopwatch, nor do they want to hear "git gud" from someone who just watches peril strats and steamrolls through the game anyway.

[@PatrickGilland]

My complaint about the Nostalgic Tunes badge is that it shouldn't have been a badge, but rather an option in the menu, like what was done in Mario RPG and Xenoblade. That means you can't listen to the rest of the old prologue's music up until visiting the thousand year door for the first time when you can even buy the badge.

[@Rediscool9]

I agree and disagree. I agree with the fact that it sucks we can’t listen to the OG prologue music at the beginning due to it being before you can even buy the Nostalgic Tunes badge, but I disagree with tyou saying it shouldn’t have been a badge because I think it’s a far more charming addition to make the OG music swap be a new badge with the GameCube design as opposed to just a generic menu option swap.

[@jeremyknight9980]

10:07 I like that they made the game more accessible, starting where I left off so I don't have to go through a tedious area, sit through cutscenes, solve a puzzle again, do annoying tasks or start from the pit all over is way better imo. I don't get a thrill from challenge or going through something again unless it's fun, I find it disheartening to straight up annoying.

[@MarioMastar]

This... most people don't have time to repeat hours of gameplay because they made a mistake. and I'll never understand the freeloaders who have the time to do all that and complain. Look at how people react to EXP Share mechanics in Gen 6 Pokemon and on. acting like "I'd RATHER do switch training (which is only slower), or when people got mad that IVs could be maxed out by using bottle caps instead of having to breed eggs and gamble for it then do some math to check the stats to see what the IVs likely were... If people got that kind of time to waste.... I seriously question who's paying their bills.

[@cultofjenova5653]

Two biggest issues I had were the SFX (especially in battle) were so much flatter, and the general gameplay flow feels less kinetic and fluid than the original, after beating the final boss in the remake I popped in my GC copy and did the same fight and i was thinking to myself, "Oh yeah, this feels so much more snappy"

[@Chronoflation]

You say you don't care about the frame rate change much, but it honestly probably contributes heavily to your issues with the menuing from your first issue, so it may be affecting your enjoyment more than you realized. I always prefer menus that run at 60 fps+. Just that much more snappy

[@MarioMastar]

actually the menu issues aren't caused by framerate, but by delays in when the game chooses to receive input. Rendering graphics 30 times a second vs 60 times won't slow a game down for more than 1/60th of a second at most. The issue with the menus is that the developers force you to wait for cues to pass before you can advance the state that you were able to skip in the original. like you have to wait for the entire star Piece jingle to finish playing where as before you could skip it, same for the emails and ESPECAILLY when you heal HP and FP. Before, they would all restore at the same time, but now, for reasons beyond knowledge, they all restore ONE at a time. turning a 3 second animation to a 10 second one. It seriously adds up over the course of the game, to the point I'd sometimes deliberately avoid getting triple shines just to not waste the time (I'm near full health anyway).

[@Chronoflation]

@@MarioMastar oh, that makes sense. Thanks for that. I just remember playing some games before where the menuing didn't feel good as the frame rate dropped on Switch, then I played them on PC or Xbox X and it felt better. Maybe it was just some cue running slow cause of the frame rate drop in that situation. I wonder. Either way, I feel like I learned something really useful to know. So thank you so much 😁

[@19_LuiSal_95]

The bridge switch at Riverside Station always bothered me. If the Switch is a one-time use, how did Beldam even raise the drawbridge? Also, the credit scene is my favorite change. I always hated the credits in the original. Paper Mario 64 and The Origami King had my favorite credits scene and to see the remake’s credits be similar to theirs made me so happy.

[@JoProGaming]

Yeah, the Riverside Station switch bothers me so much for some reason. Makes noooo sense.

[@zackwoods5077]

The text speed is definitely the biggest issue with the remake compared to the original. It also wouldve been nice to have a Hard Mode that boosts enemy stats, significantly nerfs the chances of applying debuffs to enemies, and you start at your last save block on a game over.

[@SuperSimmerGal]

You still can start at your last save block after a game over. The option of redoing battles is just that, an option.

[@MarioMastar]

WEll the issue is in the original you could skip jingles like collecting a star piece, but in the remake, you have to watch the WHOLE jingle before you can move again. Also instead of restoring HP, FP and SP at the same time, it now does it one at a time for even God doesn't know what reason....

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

Boosting stats is just a cheap, lazy way of increasing difficulty. I would've preferred they do stuff like always having the maximum number of enemies possible in a single battle, they give 1 or 2 less Star Points, have attacks that hit both Mario and his partner, and every optional regular enemy battle has a small chance of having an Amazy Dayzee in it.

[@dr_meth]

Unpopular opinion: I actually think the original credits scene is much better: Luigi leads the parade (as a reference to Super Mario RPG/Paper Mario 64 parades), and the music makes you feel satisfied but also sad that your journey ended. Overall, it has sort of a "farewell" vibe since your adventure takes place in Rogueport and not in the Mushroom Kingdom. Anyways, great video man :) I hope Paper Mario 64 gets a remake as well.

[@sirskylight7901]

This may sound sort of nitpicky, but there were certain animations in the game that felt sort of off. Don't get me wrong, the new animations are great. It's how the remake's version of some of the old animations looked. Mainly, the animation for the superguard. It looks a lot slower than the original. The original had Mario and co. spin fast multiple times then gradually slow down, but the remake's superguard is just a single slow spin. I know this is a small detail, but to me, it felt like the superguard lost some of it's original charm because of it.

[@alexhirsch5738]

I think for me which is better depends on what you want. I think the remake is undeniably a better casual experience, especially for first time players. But I think the hard-core fans, the modded community and challenge runners are still going to prefer the GameCube version for its faster text speed, ease of modding, and tenure. I'd reccomend the remake to anyone whether they've played the original or not, but the GameCube original isn't going to be beat for purists. Unless they patch the game with text options, then maybe there's a chance.

[@MarioMastar]

Mostly elitism... i swear if I watch one more TTYD remake video spend the first 5 minutes going "THis beautiful game is the BEST game ever without any flaws, lets start our journey on this game that marked history!" as if these aren't the same people who started a HOLY war because Sticker Star came out.... These aren't Paper Mario fans... There's nothing wrong with the 6 games, yet these guys act like you castrated thier mother if you mention any game after TTYD, even if you're enjoying it. They need to seriously knock it off with that foolishness.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

No offense, but this comment along with many others I've seen just shows you don't know a thing about top-level PM players. Kappy and Bringle alone, both of whom have next to no issues with the framerate and only brought it up in their blind playthroughs, have done multiple challenge runs on the remake already. There have been categories like Pre-Hooktail and even Prologue Pit runs without Superguards and/or Mega Rush P for over a decade. Speedrunners are determined to find new exploits to save time on playthroughs, and the original for the longest time was thought to be unbreakable, before glitches like jump storage and palace skip were found. Some may be Japanese exclusive, like clipping into the Rogueport Sewers teleporter room, but others like Ultra Hammer early were not only discovered in all regions, but the newer method is easier to pull off.

A lot of the extra inclusions (animations, sprites, extndd cuscenes) are so natural I wonder if they started as cut content from the original.

[@Redpoppy80]

I have to admit the only thing that has perturbed me about the remake has been the slow text. If the idea is that a new player needs to read it so it can't go too fast than why can't we speed past text that was shown already!? I am an above average speed reader myself so having to wait for the text was beyond annoying for me.

Same bro, i played the original paper mario months prior to this it’s lightyears faster. It doesn’t really kill the “pace” i guess, so it doesn’t bother me. Although glitz pit was a tad slow.

[@brandonwilliams6119]

Repeat Playthroughs are not gonna be fun and TTYD remake is going to suffer that common RPG problem of having a slow start just from not being able to speed up the dialogue.

[@baconlabs]

Slow text speed, yes; slow UI interactions, yes; there's one more element of slowness that really gets my goat, and that's movement. I do not understand why Mario has to slow to a halt in midair if he falls too far, or why the little Yoshi has to accelerate from zero. Neither of these feel consistent with the spirit of Mario's platforming roots. The Yoshi thing is especially problematic and I have to wonder how it made it through testing; so many things were made easier about this game, but going over gaps has never been harder! I had to redo the ones near the Twilight Town pipe and the Keelhaul Key ? Block so many times.

I've heard that a lot of the text changes are actually made to be more accurate to the original Japanese script. Though I am not sure if they changed anything *again* when adjusting for the modern version.

[@brianking9424]

It was crickets that hook tail didn’t like but this one it’s frogs? Unless I’m from a new timeline

[@Gold_Yoshi]

@@brianking9424 I believe the japanese version it was frogs, but it was a specific type of frog that people in other places don’t usually have and thus wouldn’t recognize as a “frog” so they changed it to “crickets” in the original english release. Here they changed it to a more recognizable frog sound and then they changed the text to match it.

[@MarioMastar]

Well, mostly just the Frog thing due to a misunderstanding. ALL versions were changed to handle Vivian being transgender more sensitively. A thing that people miss is Japan didn't make Vivian transgender in the original to support LGBTQ+ before it's time. they did so to make FUN of the character, hence why Beldam insults her by calling her a "MAN". In the remake, Beldom no longer insults her gender choice instead choosing to drop the topic and complain that they need a more fitting title for the trio. Birdo had the same sh8t happen to her for 30 years and to this day people STILL insult her for allegedly being trans because of a JOKE that was meant to mock her. There was no respect shown back then, (heck being GAY in Japan was considered very taboo and oftne made fun of as well, it was NOT acceptable back then when they made the game no matter how much revisionists want to believe it). Though that said, I think the Spanish version did legitimately consider having her trans, but only because they translated it directly and not because of anything political. In modern time, all of them handle it respectfully. Spanish didn't have to change the dialogue much as it already was inoffensive though.

[@Gold_Yoshi]

"The Remake is too easy" Original TTYD: Haha, infinite Power Rush in Pianta Parlor go brrr

[@MarioMastar]

XD TTYD was always "too easy" but of course the Remake is EASIER when most people watch Koops's videos on peril strats then literally do that and go "At least it's not DANGER Mario" Like they didn't just get someone else to trade them a level 100 mewtwo and brag about how they can steam roll the game cause it's "a SHINY mewtwo"..... I personally banned Peril and danger strats cause I wanted to make the most of what the game offers. You'd be amazed at how much more interesting it is when you try to max out FULL HP Mario's attack power and see what you can do. I was even legitimately using Ms Mowz's def piercing slap and had to use Bobombast a few times. SO much more fun than just "Lol Danger Goombella/Koops/Yoshi go brrr." like these so called "Veterans" do.... (actually I never used Multibonk more than like twice the whole game, and never equipped Power bounce, but mostly cause I just don't like those badges... not because of a restriction, just personal preference).

[@CountShaman]

@@MarioMastar True. Granted, even without danger strats, you are never really short of options to demolish the game. Power Lift alone flattens the difficulty like pancakes, especially when used for Yoshi Kid and Power Bounce, and Sweet Treat can keep you alive pretty much forever. I honestly think Paper Mario could use more bosses that really challenges your resourcefulness and doesn't just get flattened by one strategy every time. Heck, the first time I played TTYD, which is a casual run, the only thing that actually posed a threat to me in the main story was the X-Yux. Prince Mush's fight is an amazing addition that gives us the exact type of challenge the game needs, but it could've been more of a commodity. Same case with Culex 3D, where the Mario RPG remake could've taken more advantage of the fact that you can swap allies on the go like that boss did.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

​@@CountShamanWhile people overrate the difficulty of the original(Power Rushes were a third of the price and it was easier to get a lot of Pianta tokens in the Plane game) X-Yuxes were worse because they had a 100% chance of immobilizing you if you didn't guard or superguard their normal attacks. The multi-shot attack that hits both Mario and his partner can immobilize them, but not as much. So them along with Dayzees are the only enemies in the game that can literally stunlock you.

[@FreedomKid7]

IMO the new room where you can go to all the worlds easily is such a massive improvement and while there's some slight negatives that room makes the game better, nostalgia factor aside

[@trumpeterjen]

The censorship of the Goombas hitting on Goombella wouldn't bother me on its own, but then they kept Flurrie's intro completely intact. The Goombas creeping on Goombella was used in the original specifically to show they were the bad guys, but a "good guy" protagonist is still allowed to literally assault Mario on-screen? That sends a horrible message. Why in the world is that still allowed?

[@MarioMastar]

Oddly yeah, the Goomba trio flirting wtih Goombella is the ONLY change they made when it came to the characters flirting... they literally kept every other instance of it intact, even the Goomba who's trouble is to literally date Goombella. (though in fairness, every other partner absolutely wants him destroyed for insulting them). Yeah it was odd to change that. Though I AM glad they softened the "addicted mother" scenario with having her instead rant about her husband being a terrible writer and the kid agreeing with her. The original hit way too close to home for a lot of people and wasn't appropriate as humor.

[@JoshSJoshingWithYa]

I assume that the Switch version is best for a casual play through, while for speed-running and challenge runs, the GameCube version is best. For example, my friend wanted to do a challenge run on the Switch where he only plays as Mario and lets his partners get KO’d, but after beating an enemy or running away, he realized that the Switch version would give the partners 1 HP, so he couldn’t do the challenge run unless he let the enemy attack first to KO the partner for EVERY battle. Of course, once he told me this, I equipped Mega Rush P and Quick Change, and let my partners get KO’d before running away from an enemy. That combo was broooooken lol

For the text, I say that in addition to re-adding the Dialogue Log, the Settings menu should have the following options added: -Music Volume: [0---------100] -Voice Volume: [0---------100] -SFX Volume: [0---------100] -Nostalgic Tunes: [Off|On] -Text Speed: [Slow|Normal|Fast] -Menu Sensitivity: [Slow|Normal|Fast] -Maintain Auto-Advance: [Off|On] -Maintain Fast-Forward: [Off|On] -Combat Difficulty: [|Normal|Double Trouble|Peril Panic|Impossible] Auto-advance would allow text bubbles to automatically advance within a short time after the current text finishes generating. Fast-forward would significantly increase the speed of text generation, advancement, and character animations during dialogue while enabled (think like modern Persona titles). The Nostalgic Tunes option would eliminate the need for a badge to enable the classic OST where applicable. The Combat Difficulty mode names are examples based on fan challengs from the Gamecube version: -Double Trouble: Double enemy attack. Double enemy HP. Quadruple Pain. (Unlocked by beating the game once) -Peril Panic: 1 HP and a dream. (Unlocked by beating the game once) -Impossible: *7* Crystal Stars. *0* advantage. *3* percent chance of victory is a generous estimate... (Unlocked by 100% completing the game once; must be chosen at start and is locked for whole playthrough) As for the particulars on Impossible: -Mario's level is set to 0 and enemies never give Star Points. --Max BP is set to 0 instead of 3 ---Attack FX G is moved to Boggly Woods. -Normal battles only drop 1 coin each, and Clear Bonuses only give 20% as much money. Shine Sprites on the field are invisible and uncollidable, effectively removing them. Inventory space set to 0. --The Strange Sack instead holds a unique secret; whatever is inside permanently improves Superguards (timing starts slightly sooner for every attack, and attacks that couldn't be countered this way before are now Superguardable). -Star Power is permanently set to 0. -Heart blocks are all invisible and uncollidable. --The only way to recover HP and FP is to sleep. -The in-battle Swap Partner command is disabled. -Merlee's charms all cost 1,000x as many coins. -Guard timing is universally set to 0 frames. (Superguards are unchanged, outside of the altered Strange Sack) -Game Over automatically kicks you to the title screen. Impossible progression concessions: -After defeating Gus at any point prior, talking to Ishnail in the Chapter 2-3 intermission allows him to tell Mario a secret code directly. Talking to Peeka in Westside Goods after this will directly trigger her questions without buying anything from the shop. -Both Iron Clefts now have only 4 HP each, but their battle dialogue occurs as normal. -As a bonus, all Journal data (including the Tattle log) is fully unlocked at the start.
