Can you give some more specific details about what makes Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door any worse than Paper Mario?

The music is littered with hints at the old Mario themes, just like Paper Mario's was. I know that I didn't find any of it boring or elevator-music'esque, so what you said about the music in your other thread was mere opinion.

You can't say the graphics sucked unless you thought Paper Mario's graphics sucked also.

Deezer put it best in the closing response to the other thread. I'm not going to say any more.

So, everyone who's still playing it, how far are you now? I just beat Chapter 3. Had to be one of the greatest Paper Mario-related chapters out of both games, just from the innovative style, and the fact that you're both moving up in the combatant ranks and solving a mystery at the same time.

I have to brag a little and say that the boss, whose name will not be disclosed, didn't hit me once--I counterattacked all of its attacks.

Ciao.

Wow. I mean, wow.

I just "finished" Chapter 4... I mean I didn't... I mean... I was so surprised. I was dissapointed because it was so easy... ahaha. Wow.

Has to be one of the greatest games of all time!

Yeah, isn't it great?
Especially after having just gone through long ol' chapter 3!

Go Moon!

Yeah. Chapter 4 is short, but I got stuck for a while yesterday. Today I figured it out. Duh!

I just finished it a few minutes ago. For some reason, ???? is always easy to beat. (Calling him that so as not to spoil it).

I love how Yoshi still calls Mario "Gonzales." You'd think he'd notice that no one else is calling him that...

I keep reading that the whole game should take about 40 hours. But I'm already done with Chapter 4 and it's only been like, 15... oh well.

Anyone doing those helping things in Rogueport? I can't find that Garf guy's key.

Only 15 hours so far. Wow. I am in chapter 5 and have over 30 hours. I have been doing everything in the game. Recipes, tattles, trouble, badges, leveling up, etc. I am also reading everything and righting a lot of it down. See my other posts for qoutes.

At first I thought Paper Mario was better than The Thousand Year Door, but the more I get into it the more I like PM2:TTYD better.

Super Mario · « **Reply #36 on:** October 29, 2004, 12:45:10 PM »

I tried to do that. I'll probably go through the game again after I beat it the first time, though. I'm always so excited about seeing what it has next to offer that I don't always stop and smell the roses.

Oh well. Not like I ever have to return it.

I love PM2. My only complaint was that parts of it were too similar to the first game--I don't mean graphics or gameplay or anything like that, because I like that kind of consistency, but actual storylines. I kept thinking "Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah." Still, since PM2 does it all better the second time around, that's not a real complaint. I like/d it more than PM1 because there aren't any levels that bore me--whenever I replay the first Paper Mario, I get as far as Flower Fields and then quit because the game doesn't interest me at all beyond that point. With PM2 I was hooked all the way through.

After 45 hours, I'm . . . not actually certain I'm done yet. I don't just mean not having done the Pit of 100 Trials or the last few troubles on the Trouble Board either (I'll go back and do that tonight)--I mean that I actually cannot tell whether I have beaten the game or not. A couple of things make me believe there's another (hidden?) chapter left to do, despite appearances. I guess to say any more would be a spoiler.

Edited to fix my 60 hours to, eh, 40-45 hours. My save slot DOES say 60 hours and that's what I was going by, but I forgot it counts the time when you have the game paused too. If I'm in the middle of something good I tend to just pause while I go to class/out with friends/eat/etc.

Also to say that anyone who thinks this game is pornographic is, er, seriously repressed. I was amused by Flurrie crushing the enemies with her "stage presence" though, ahaha. Wonder if there were any Sailor Moon fans on the writing crew.

I did think some of the subplots in the game were sort of twisted for kids though. But I love that sort of thing!

I thought the crows in Twilight Town talking about the Internet being supported by "games and feather-loss sites" was hillarious. If you can't guess what feather-loss sites means, well...

You've got my curiosity boiling, Wanwan! An eighth chapter? That's nuts!

I'm about to start Chapter 5 myself. I only have like, 20 hours. I'm doing troubles and stuff. I guess I should take more time. I always solve the puzzles pretty quickly. I had trouble getting out of the Puni cage, though, for some reason I didn't think about turning to paper.

Now I wanna' go play.

I'm sorry Shawne, but what are you talking about...?

I just finished Chapter 5. Somehow I have like, 25 hours now. I messed around in Rogueport for a while.

We should discuss Badge Setup strategies. I'll try and remember mine...

I think I have 21 Badge Points, and I'm using... Quick Change (7), Flower Saver (4) x2, Spike Shield (3) and Power Bounce (3). I change them around a lot, though.

Does anyone know, are there more than enough Shine Sprite boxes for partners or are they an exact amount?

Fifth · « **Reply #41 on:** October 30, 2004, 07:48:57 PM »

There are exactly enough.

Man... I put all but three of my levels into BP until... 'round chapter 5. So I had tons of badge points. The only moves I saw fit to equip were power bounce and... power hammer, is it? Anyway, all the rest went into quick change (natch), happy flowers/hearts, damage dodges (including p) flower savers, all or nothing (wait, when'd I get that?)...
My tactics shifted slightly later on, to a point where I would try to be able to end any given battle with a signle mulitbounce. But that required a few extra badges.

Go Moon!

~I'm not gonna erase what you typed, Shawne, but I do have this thing against spoilers. And while I may have already beaten the game, I don't want to ruin it for others.

You're late I just beat the game already as completed to end of the chapters, but I enjoy it! Do you know what's the final chapter and the master is? If you enter to the thousand-year door as you did good far like in Bowser's Castle. Is the "Shadow Queen" Sir Grodus was unlock and release that grave case when she comes alive. So then suddenly the Shadow Queen gonna control Princess Peach and turning into dark evil. Then she made a little destruction in the whole place in Rougeport as it was happening. So now is up to Mario and his friends of party members to save Princess Peach and the whole world. Suddenly all the 7 Crystal Stars was been together and all the people from the 7 lands of Rougeport was believe in Mario, but 7 Crystal Stars was barely talk from the citizen. That was a different voices. And the power was been together from the 7 Crystal Stars to defeat the Shadow Queen.

That said, if you want to know what was written, go ahead and hilight it, but know that it describes the very end of the game.

Hey Fifth, how do I do the spoiler text? BB code? I'd like to give some reasons why I'm not sure that's actually the end of the game, but yeah, pretty major spoilers.
