[@InspiredCaterpie]

Haven't found any place else to put this, so I figure this is as good a place as any. The first time I played Sticker Star, I was climbing the desert tower like normal. One of the levels has a part where there's a ton of sand that's caved in. Normally, it makes you slide down it you try to climb it, but I swear one time I somehow jumped over it, went out of bounds, and died. Has anyone else ever seen the glitch before?

[@kirbyfan3197]

There's unused gameplay behaviour for when falling out of the map resulting in a game over. Probably just a failsafe.

[@BigRobertsons]

Fun fact the manual mentions that falling out of the world will result in a game over even though there's no way to actually do that without glitches

[@beebfajeejy]

@@mephiles17 the original animation has a very fast and frantic energy that adds a lot to it i think. you feel a lot more pressure to, well, "keep up" with the pace and that in turn makes it much more mind-meltingly good because it's easier to get lost in it.

LEG CROSS

[@e10withadot]

Tower Power Pokey, like the almost equal masterpiece that is Super Paper Mario, is an incredible, well designed character with rich lore that goes beyond even the game he starred in. Why the hell is he in Paper Jam you ask? Because AlphaDream *KNEW* what to take from the Paper Mario series, all they needed was Tower Power Pokey, literally no one else. Not to mention his influence on a certain Animal Crossing character. Absolutely brilliant, much like Super Paper Mario in its entirety. Tower Power Pokey is such a complex character and boss fight that your puny, insignificant brains cannot even comprehend his complexity, to the point where it registers as simplicity, much as how puny minded people regard Super Paper Mario's masterful gameplay and level design as "bad game design". I scoff at these people, for they have puny brains. His boss fight has incredible mechanics, when you use that baseball bat, YOU USE THAT BASEBALL BAT. It is an incredible commentary on how society views the sport of baseball. Not to mention, Tower Power Pokey is the largest Paper Mario boss to date, and when something is larger they are consistently good. Sticker Star as a game? It's just okay, but Tower Power Pokey stands out as a complex, well written, intricate character that should not be overlooked, for he is the greatest thing to ever exist, alongside the subversive masterpiece that is Super Paper Mario. Seriously, you simple minded fools need to understand, the """unenjoyable gameplay""" you speak of is intentional, to exemplify the fantastic story that is being presented.

[@-xviniclausx-9904]

No but you see, here is my reasoning of why Tower Power Pokey is the greatest Paper Mario character... no, the greatest Mario character of all time. Tower Power Pokey has, as you can see, a name. He also has an unique design, with the crown and the Green Pokey like spikes. Not to mention he has a backstory, being a normal Pokey in Drybake Stadium that ascended to godhood and created the entire Mario universe... no, the entire universe. That includes you as well. You may be thinking "but Sticker Star said he was a Pokey that got big with power...", well, news flash, Sticker Star lied to you. Kensuke Tanabe, lead producer of the game and Semi God extraordinaire knew the truth was to much to handle, so he tried to deceive you. Tower Power Pokey also has a deep and complicated personality, fitting for a character like him. Not even i can explain well his character, and i feel ashamed for it. Bottom line is, Tower Power Pokey is a great character and should appear in every Mario game from now on.

this boss going into world 3 and fighting gooper blooper is my favorite part of the entire time. world 1 flies by fast and nothing to it except for 1-6 world 2: i dont like world 2 much, mainly 2-3. when you get to 2-5, thats where you enter the good side of world 2 world 3: man, i really love playing world 3. posioned forest, ik, but theres a lot to world 3 in my eyes. collecting all the wiggler segments, playing the snift of whiff game, secret doors for the first time, and best of all, gooper blooper world 4: pretty interesting one, including the boss. i find it funny when you wait in line in front of shy guys. world 5: i like levels 5-1, 5-4 and the volcano levels, but i dont like the boss and that bloody level 5-3. 5-2 is okay, but 5-3 shouldnt even exist imo world 6: not much to say other than you meet wiggler as flutter and you fight bowser jr on 6-2, kamek one last time, then bowser on 6-3.
