Hey mightyp run!

how is he mighty if he flees like a coward

oh **** his username is a **** joke how did i not get that

 

[Noipoi]

Noipoi sorry this took so long. So to start, I want to return the series to its traditional formula with some potential QOL changes but I also wanted to incorporate and better flesh out some elements from SS and CS that have potential.

The partners would return and instead I wanted to limit the number of partners to around 4 or 5 but they’d be much more fleshed out in terms of story relevance, personality, moves inside and outside battle, etc. One such partner I had in mind was a female Reznor I’ve named Rezqueen who’d have a number of abilities and attacks with her horns, fireballs, strength, etc.

The companion character(s) I have are a duo of a magic sentient sketchbook and pencil (who communicate through written dialogue) that potentially belong to the main villain and get separated within the story, Mario has one, Peach has the other. It’s here where I’m thinking about turning this into a story where Peach gets her own side with her own gameplay, battles, partners, etc. (Two of Peach’s partners would be a Toad retainer and Daisy)

A potential villain I have in mind is an artistic sorcerer/sorceress who becomes interested in Bowser and his forces and decides to make him their muse. The sketchbook and pencil see their user becoming obsessed and making dangerous creations and decide to try and stop him/her.

Hey that’s pretty cool

Like the use of Reznor

Confession time: I am going to go against the bro code and snitch on Noipoi as an accomplice in first-degree murder.

Confession time: I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE, Will IS A ***** ASS ***** WHO WENT AGAINST THE BRO CODE

 

[Cosmic77]

I would like Nintendo to do a non-Mario Kart racing game in the interim before the inevitable 9. F-Zero or something new like the Donkey Kong Racing concept back in the GC would be cool.

I dunno. A racing game that isn't Mario Kart sounds kinda risky, even if it means reviving F-Zero.

Personally, I'd prefer Nintendo doing a Mario Kart game Smash Bros style where the tracks and roster are composed of multiple franchises and characters. That might mean we'd get fewer Mario reps (goodbye most generic Mario enemies and all seven Koopalings), but I feel like it would be a worthy trade-off.

That said, if I had played it first, I might enjoy it more, since I couldn't compare it to previous games. So I get ya. The game did it's job as a very simplistic rpg for what it was. I do like that Color Splash gave a form of leveling up again that was tied to actual battles, so that's neat~

I enjoyed Color Splash despite playing the previous four entries. The writing was clever, the music was catchy, and the battles weren't intolerable or anything. It obviously wasn't the best Paper Mario, but I liked it enough to the point where I might actually return to it one day.

But Sticker Star? I just can't. The severe lack of NPCs and total absence of a level up system made it extremely boring even on my first run.

Now here's a confession that everybody is gonna hate me for:
I wouldn't mind if Color Splash was the new base for future Paper Mario games. The formula has potential that will never be fully realized considering that they're changing styles yet again.

Ha you see thats what I didn't do I never said the words bro code when I ratted you out so I didn't break it

Also a wolf can't be a bro we can only be a wro which translates to wolf bro

It doesn't have a total absence. You can increase your number of pages and how much health you have. That's a form of leveling up. It's just different from what you'd expect from a traditional rpg, so it makes sense why people don't count that.

The pages increase was closer to a story-based level up than a normal mechanic, so it doesn't mesh well considering the previous 3 entries. I'd prefer getting more pages through battles in the way you get more paint to work with. I'd like to see the game remade with better done rpg mechanics. Like at least a Defense upgrade here and there. Maybe pages leveling up with you too. Battles were essentially worthless except for two things; practicing your timing and coins.

It's actually a refernce to that one cartoon called the Mighty B. It was a pretty underrated show

 

[Wademan94]

Hey that’s pretty cool

Like the use of Reznor

Thank you! I was also thinking Mario could ride on her back like Jaxi or Rambi too.

Any other thoughts on what I have? What kind of things would you hope to see in a future Paper Mario game?

Color Splash is okay. I'd be disappointed if that was the new base, but I'd still be excited for new games.

It doesn't have a total absence. You can increase your number of pages and how much health you have. That's a form of leveling up. It's just different from what you'd expect from a traditional rpg, so it makes sense why people don't count that.

But I thought those were limited to certain enemies like bosses and sub-bosses. Couldn't you theoretically fight only the enemies that give you more health and pages and skip all the generic enemies without seeing a drastic difference (aside from maybe fewer coins)?

Super Paper Mario story+TTYD gameplay+Color Splash art style

That’s really all I need in a new Paper Mario game

...and some interesting partners. No more Goombas, gimme a Human from New Donk or something.

I can at least admit that they did a fantastic job with Color Splash's graphics, generic Toads aside.

The Mighty B was actually a pretty good show. Makes anything else they air on Nick today look like trash.

Aww, what!? Goombario and Goombella were amazing!

 

[Just a random scrub]

Confession time: I've breathed oxygen and it was a blast let me tell you

Well, they do say oxygen's one hell of a drug.

 

[Noipoi]

Aww, what!? Goombario and Goombella were amazing!

They were, and they’ll never be topped.

 

[Wademan94]

So I have a Reznor, what other species would you guys like to see either for the first time or revisited as Paper Mario partners?

 

[Will]

next you'll tell me fanboy and chumchum actually wasnt that bad and planet sheen was god tier

 

[Wademan94]

Also what kind of villain would you guys like to see in a future PM game as well?

 

[Roguewolf]

A gooigi

Joking shunted slightly to the left for a moment

Dry bones please I love dry bones so much

 

[Noipoi]

next you'll tell me fanboy and chumchum actually wasnt that bad and planet sheen was god tier

To be fair, it takes a very high iq to understand Fanboy and Chumchum

So I have a Reznor, what other species would you guys like to see either for the first time or revisited as Paper Mario partners?

One of those skeletons from Totsarena

And a rabbit, like the broodals

Or a dinosaur from cascade kingdom

Basically, Odyssey characters.

 

[Cosmic77]

I'm actually allergic to oxygen. I've trained my body to live off carbon dioxide and the fumes immitted by people ranting about Sword and Shield.

I want another Yoshi partner. This time, one with an official name.

next you'll tell me fanboy and chumchum actually wasnt that bad and planet sheen was god tier

(1) Fanboy and Chum Chum was funny on occasion. Not as bad as people make it out to be.
(2) Planet Sheen was a mistake. I'll at least agree with you on that.

 

[Noipoi]

A chain chomp or a chargin chuck would be cool

 

[Will]

idk, its literally just paper

M&L Paper Jam did the 3D Papercraft/Origami final boss thing already but nobody remembers Paper Jam existing so

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, aside from the Pixls (not including Tippi) and Kersti, Flurrie was by far the worst Paper Mario partner personality wise.

If she even had one.
(What was she supposed to be again?)

the lady who mario had to fondle her big bibbies just so she could work

 

[Wademan94]

Feel like a Tostarenan and a Dry Bones would have way too similar abilities and attacks...

 

[Noipoi]

Bobbery’s a boomer

A Wind Spirit.

And she wasn't that bad. Her powers came in handy for bosses, especially the Pit of 100 Trials' final boss.

I actually think Parakarry was the worst. Once you get Bow in the next chapter, there's almost no reason to use him.

Alright, ideas on how they’d work ingame? Like their abilities and attacks?

Also what would be some cool settings and locales Paper Mario could go to?

Damn why does DQXI on switch have to be so far away

I’ve said it before. And now I’ll say it again.

Paper Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for the Thousand Year Door and The Quest for a Better Title.

 

[Roguewolf]

I know you didn't mention dry bones but I think he could throw his arm and be able to build power by disassembling and when he gets hit his attack is twice the damage that and a shell spin attack on and throw his head and do a multihit bite on the enemy

 

[Noipoi]

T-Rex (or as I will now dub him, Jeff) would be huge. Not so huge that he can’t fit on screen, but definitely the largest partner. Maybe he could chew enemies and spit em back out, lowering their hp and defense.

And you could ride him. He doesn’t go faster but he will destroy anything in the over world. Helping you find secrets.

I actually think Parakarry was the worst. Once you get Bow in the next chapter, there's almost no reason to use him.

Gameplay wise, her field power was the most situational, but in battle, she's ok, like, her healing was neat, and her body slam was fine, but her wind attacks were just eh. For the pit however, I think I used Goombella and Bobbery the most, Bobbery because his damage output is insane, and Goombella had the Rally Wink and the broken Multibonk attack. And Tattle, but that's self explanitory.

As for Parakarry, he was OK, but I enjoyed using him. His instakill attack was utter garbage though.

...I see. How about the others?

 

[Sari]

Just finished Xenoblade 2.

Spoiler

The part where Poppi wouldn't fly Rex across the bridge just destroyed me.

This game had a ton of faults but overall I enjoyed it. Will probably post a full review later.

That’s all I got right now haha

I’m working on something rn, maybe I’ll thinkbup the rest later

Don't worry about it bud
