What happens if we try to have all partners at once in a battle in Paper Mario: The Origami King?

How many partners does it take to crash Paper Mario: The Origami King?
Today we answer this question and more, looking at some secrets about partners that could only be found through hacking the game, and some interesting references to past Mario games, reaching all the way back to the original Super Mario Bros on NES!
What happens if you try to have all partners in Paper Mario: The Origami King in a battle at once? What if Mario and Olivia are joined by Bobby the Bob-omb, folded Bowser, Professor Toad, Spike, Bone Goomba, Sombrero Guy, Kamek, and Bowser Jr? And what if we try to add Luigi, unfolded Bowser, Captain T Ode, and some green toads from Club Island to the mix?

[@OrangeStaringCat]

This is insane! Really interesting

[@thesoldierfurret8234]

Theory of Why Bowser’s fire attack can’t hurt Buzzy beetles: Bowser’s Fire Attack has the Property of the Fire Flower. Fire Flower cant hurt the Buzzy Beetles and Fire Attack can’t do that to! The developers maybe copied and pasted the Fire Flower file but made it shoot once 1-4 Fire balls at the same time with a new texture and more damage! And that’s my theory ;)

Isn't there one more partner in the game? If i recall correctly, at one point in shan-gri spa, you are joined by a shop snifit for like one second before you reach regular land. Is it possible to add him in the party as well?

[@zaku28]

funny enough they aren’t a partner member, unlike the rest. Through testing I’m confident that they used left-over code from Color Splash, as the snifit acts just like the follower npcs in that game.

Having Partners Crashes Paper Mario

[@ZXMany]

Absolutely love the reference 😂

[@CaseyLabAnimations]

I was just wondering this! Also, I don't know if you tried this before, what happens when you bring partners into a boss battle, since the game prevents partners from accompanying you at those points in the story progress? I remember you trying with just Luigi and he did nothing (as always), but what about the partners that are programmed for regular battles?

[@n4up]

We have a question. What happen if you have 5 or more partners?

[@zaku28]

I’m guessing that having the 5-th partner toad work fine in battle and adding to the party was intended as a sort of fail safe or in consideration of that island specifically. Maybe they wanted to make sure the code could handle Mario having a partner while rescuing all 4 toads in case they wanted that to be possible in the story, but they decided against having that happen later on. Interesting video!

A sequel to this video: how many partners can you have in the Overworld?

[@Shepard26957]

You actually can fight a buzzy beetle with bowser. In the final fight before stapler where all the enemy charge at you, if you dont know down the king olly thing, there is a buzzy beetle. Bowser also deals 25 damage to fire bros, and not just 75 to ice bros. Like wise, fire flowers deal less damage to fire bros.

[@ZXMany]

Oh, that's really cool! I didn't know there was a buzzy beetle there, thanks for letting me know! And it looks like fire being not very effective on fire makes this even more similar to Pokemon 😂 Have a great day!
