They really can't resist using that one render for Mario and the gang
The only modifications made are that they are made of a different material, the designs themselves are exactly the same.
My main point is that they have been modified to be more distorted versions of regular Mario enemies through the usage of Origami. If Nintendo wouldn't allow them to modify enemies anymore, that should not be possible. Evem if the general design remains the same.

This stuff is why we all think there may be a “Quality Assurance team” holding back Paper Mario; a ResetEra insider who got his posted deleted apparently mentioned it when talking about why Waluigi is only in spinoffs:

+ what Miyamoto said seems to fit the idea.

It seems to be more a case of unique characters being very restricted when based on existing Mario characters and enemies, so basically just allowed if they look pretty much the same but are either just in a different art style or in a different outfit but still look like the generic dudes for the most part.

In unrelated news, last month the Mystery behind that Twilight Princess HD mural seems to have been resolved at last.

Tbf, the older games did pretty much the same thing, but that was back when the designs were inconsistent across the mainline Mario series.

It's a shame they just threw that away come Super Paper Mario.

I don’t know. It’s just like.... to me the trailers show a perfect hybrid of both styles. Sonic Generations if you will. But nobody else is seeing that and it’s sad beck think there’s more of what they want in there then they’re willing to admit.
It seems like less of a hybrid and more dressing up this one thing and pretending to be something it’s not.

Yeah Kooper, Goombario and Koops seem to be about the same thing as these other dudes, although I guess they were made more unique, and some such as Goombella are very unique, but idk...

Yeah, TTYD kinda did more with the designs that I wish the series continued with, but Super did away with all that, which was later further compounded with SS by having only 1 friendly enemy in the game.

Don't know why but I really hate the packaging of branded stuff like that. Looks like something you get out of a backwoods Walmart.

I just bought SNK gals on the Switch, I didn't know they ported this on here.

It's neat to see a neo geo pocket fighting game get onto a modern system. Those games looked neat.

The renders on the side were used from a Soup Can, the ones on the tower are from 3D World, on the front are from Mario Party 10 except for Toad and Mario. I think Mario's is from another Mario Party game, but idk on Toads other that it's an OLD render

It's terrible. Looks so bootlegged it makes a Dario t-shirt in a flea market look buy-able.

Speaking of Mario merch, thought Zinith Zinith would like to see this:


Considering buying this and the Bowser Castle set for Christmas.

Ok, so this has always bugged me, but are the main 4 of the Mario series Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad, or Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi?

Because those 4 have been the OGs alongside Bowser, but some games have Yoshi in place of Toad as the 4th member.

If we're talking about playablility in Mario games, then Toad.

Yoshi is more of a power up in the Mario games than he is an actual character. Game mechanically speaking.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This makes no sense when the game literally breaks that rule. It feels like they are making an half ass excuse as to why it’s not like the earlier games.

I don’t know if it’s Tanabe or Miyamoto, if not both, but they really need to restructure the team for these games.
This displeases Count Bleck.



The news of this "rule" barely makes any sense. When and how are the obvious exceptions made? Doesn't seem too matter much since it's clearly taking part in ruining the chance for real creativity to blossom in the making of this series.
Super Paper Mario was the last Paper Mario that felt like Paper Mario.
Paper Mario had stakes; Paper Mario had story arcs; Paper Mario had great casts of original characters.
None of the recent Paper Mario "games" had these traits or at least around the same level of quality.
The "paper" aesthetic didn't get much focus until Sticker Star and now has become Paper Mario's defining characteristic, not what I fell in love with.
The new games may have gotten the wit back, but they lost the heart and soul.

I never even thought about that tbh

But Yoshi is kinda relegated to a power-up(you can't even take him out of the stages he appears in in most games) so I imagine it's Toad.

I sure can't wait to buy Paper Mario this Friday!
I realize the game is already out but I figured I'd wait for my next paycheck before buying it

Honestly, I am curious on what happens in Origami King's last third of the game, as I have heard that it's by far some of the best the entire series has ever offered.
Even better than Glitz Pit?

I have a hard time seeing that coming from Sticker Star 3.0

Something interesting:
There was a problem fetching the tweet

I was told these emails are easy to get a domain for and fake by someone on YouTube, but iirc MysticDistance is an insider dude, one who Sabi messed with although I forgot how I learned of that, maybe he was in the Sabi document? Maybe I'm just being scatterbrained, however I think he was also brought up in one of the old Social threads during the Grinch Leak as someone who worked for KHInsider and had some sources before something bad happened and he got fired or something because of someone screwing him over regarding sources and info...

...but it could've been someone else, sometimes I am scatterbrained...

edit: partly ninja'd.

edit2: nope I was right; he was going by Spooky Mystic for Halloween, but his @ was still MysticDistance, so same dude.

ahhhh, I love having money to burn.. feels nice not having to worry about the amount of money I'm spend-

*bsbsbsbsbsbs* What do you mean it's all GONE?! *bsbbsbsbsbbsbsbsbsbsb*

What the blazes does my TCGplayer account have to do with- *looks at TCGplayer orders, sees a playset of Ahsha going for $80*
....
.....

****

*I actually didn't buy it, but I was going to. Felt getting Premium was more worth it atm since I'm not entirely sold on new set prices and chances are that price will decrease as time passes anyway

Once I defeat Avalanche Abaasy, I'm thinking of grabbing this game.
The Paper Mario I knew is dead at this point.
Hopefully Bug Fables can capture the old Paper Mario magic.
