An exhibition video demonstrating how to kill Mario fourteen times in a single combat turn in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. There is no benefit to doing this.

Building off of that previous thread, IMO the most interesting interpretation of Mario canon is "all the events depicted are canon, but the games themselves may not be".

By that, I'm talking about the way a lot of the games have an element of diegetic storytelling: Super Mario Bros 3 frames itself as a stage play, Paper Mario frames itself as a storybook, Super Mario 64 has a cameraman following Mario around, The Thousand-Year Door frames itself as a stage play inside a storybook, and so on. I think that the most fun way to interpret this is that those games are depictions of popular media in the Mario universe which are, themselves, dramatized and/or sanitized versions of Mario's actual exploits.

Mario is canonically a major celebrity in his own universe; no matter how far he travels, half of everyone he meets recognize him on sight, and media depicting his adventures are likewise popular in-universe (in Mario Odyssey, you can visit a movie theater showing a screening of the original Super Mario Brothers). Even in the sports games, he's shown to have more sponsorship deals than even the most prolific IRL athletes.

So basically, here's my headcanon: when it comes to games like TTYD, all the major events actually happened. Peach was kidnapped by a crazy cult of astronauts, Mario did travel to Rogueport and all those other locales, he did befriend all those characters, and so on...

However. The real story didn't go exactly as depicted in the game. The epilogue points out that, after the adventure ended, Madame Flurrie and Doopliss went on to star in a stage production based on the adventure, and I submit that after that, someone went on to produce a best-selling illustrated novel (and/or pop-up book) based on the play. All of the "paper" bits were either added for comedic effect, or are cleaning up a messy part of the story to make it more palatable for a wider audience. Consider the black chests: in the game, they're treated as a bit of a joke, "cursing" Mario with the ability to fold himself up into a paper plane, boat, and so on, which allows him to bypass otherwise insurmountable obstacles. But what if the reality was a bit darker? What if, when the "real" Mario found the chests, the curse was a little less "ha-ha funny" and more "body horror-y"? Obviously, that would be a no-go if you want to publish a book for all ages, so it got bowdlerized into what we see now.

someone needs to make the (un)official Paper Mario cookbook because some of the stuff that Tayce T and Zess T make look super good. especially the desserts.

and it should also include the Special Strawberry Cake that you make for the Gourmet Guy as Peach.

The best news about the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake is that the game will finally be available at a reasonable price and a new generation will be able to enjoy it without having to own a GameCube

The worst news is that the price of the original is probably gonna go up even higher

#retro game buying is just way more expensive these days #I knew it was trouble when I noticed the price of a used copy of a Super Mario Bros. went up #paper mario the thousand year door #paper mario: the thousand year door #paper mario #paper mario series #nintendo gamecube #gamecube #nintendo switch #switch
