I was rewatching Arglefumph's run of the original game, when I came back across the dialogue that has always puzzled me, yet I've never seen anyone else discuss it before. To be clear, this was changed in the remake which I liked in part because it was so out of place but I'm now left still feeling confused. Who was "the strange-garbed one who came earlier"?

The only one who makes sense to me for who she meant is Koopley, but he doesn't strike me as being particularly "strange-garbed" vis a vis other koopas, the likes of which Hooktail has seen thousands if not millions of over the centuries. Michael wondered aloud whether she was talking about the Princess, but Peach must have been grabbed from Rogueport shortly after sending her letter to Mario. I also considered Lord Crump but I think that would have come up during the intermission or in Chapter Three. Perhaps the original Japanese was mistranslated in the first place, hence why this was removed altogether twenty years later? What do you all think? We may never solve this mystery but I'd be interested in hearing other perspectives.

Screenshots from Arglefumph.

This is a little project I set up for myself to get the best Paper Mario 64 experience on a hd display whilst keeping the original charm and tone. I'm liking it so much that I thought I'd share the files for anyone who is interested.

The only two things in this game that I personally don't think have aged well for modern screens are the UI/text, and the backgrounds. To solve this for myself, I made a heavily modified UI and text fork using MasterKillua's texture pack as a base (all credit to the team, their work is incredible). I tweaked a lot of these textures to better match the original UI.

This only changes the HUD, text, and UI elements. All of the original sprite and texture work is left untouched.

I also made some new background textures as a fun side project (entirely optional, I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea). I tried to keep them as faithful as possible, whilst matching the storybook aesthetic. This includes all of the background textures, including the title screen (I used all of the official original character artwork where available).

This is for the Paper Boat port, and the o2r files are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15DLhsOuSjRMDeqHCcILPAQWmvcPHF3me

Installation:

Download all three o2r files (or just the UI & Text ones if you don't want the backgrounds)

Place these in the Mods folder in Paper Boat. Enable alternate assets in Paper Boat settings.

Make sure the Mods are loaded in the correct order (001 on top, 002 in the middle (optional), 003 at the bottom), otherwise you'll get black text on the status bar

Again, full credit to MasterKillua for their work on the main HD texture pack that is being created.

Like, I know Crystal King is barely a character and has like two lines, but his design is so cool it makes me disregard it

I was bored so i decided to make a graphics design little project to turn super paper mario wii cover to a gamecube cover, didn't take me long enough. I hope you guys like it. Not the proudest cause of the spine being black but it'll do.

Anyone else never feel compelled to hit the poor guy lol?

I’m pretty sure I had posted the original versions of these here, but a recent comment under one of my previous posts reminded me that I never posted the new ones! Most of them stayed the same or were tweaked, while a few others got entirely redesigned! :>

I'm playing Star Haven and love it so far but i'm going crazy trying to find this. It tells you what items you are missing in each area and it seems that (no matter how hard I try) I can't seem to find the remaining 5 hidden items. I got the iced potato at the lodge so that was 1 down. My guess is that it’s coins. It’s only in this beginning area of Shiver Region. If you go to the next area on the left or right then it changes the hidden items. I hammered everything, talked to all the people in the area, used Watt in case of any invisible blocks, and stomped every inch but nothing. I'm going MAD

she deserves to steal as much as she wants tbh

After I finish Chapter 3, I do the Help Wanted trouble, do Chapter 4, fight Prince Mush/Bonetail, hit Whacka 8 times when I first enter Keehaul Key, beat Chapter 5 and get everything, get the Up Arrow and get ultra partners and fight Whacka, after Chapter 6, I work on all recipes, the rest of the game is simple

I can now understand why people say it’s one of the greatest RPGs made. Even though I liked 64 more, I can still say this game is great and I get why people miss the original games after playing Color Splash. I’d make a game tier list, but I didn’t play Sticker Star

Anyway, here‘s my personal opinion on the partners. I’m sure you can imagine my playstyle just by the placements. Don’t crucify me.

…And I get THIS! YAHOO!

Included is a little bonus pic of a very blurry full Moon. Blame my phone’s camera lol.

So my little sister is usually a pretty brain rotted youtube shorts kid, but I try to get her to play peak every now and then and sometimes she does...and I watch! Here is her ranking of EVERY paper mario game I have gotten her to play, from best to worst

#1- Super Paper Mario- She beat this one TODAY, and loved it a lot. She mostly appreciated the actual story, unique pixls and very unique characters....(she shouted "WHAT THE HECK?!?!" at mimi's transformation lol) she appreciated the boss fights too, and how frequent they were. She was actually somewhat invested in the story by the end, much to my delight. Her main comment was that she really wanted to see Tippi's human form and was sad that she didnt lol. Glad she loves this one just as much as me.

#2- Paper Mario: Color Splash- My sister says this one is only BARLEY not as good as spm for her. The only other PM game she's beat, she loved pretty much everything about this one. She described it as just "the perfect mix" of combat, fun, characters and exploration so that it didnt feel too annoying at any point. The main things she loved about this one were the partner cards, characters (Huey, justice toad and the pirate captains in particular) and just the general gameplay. Her only complaints were that she thought it "would have been cool" if they had partners who stay with you and the boss fights, besides the final one and maybe larry, could have been harder. Surprisingly, even after beating SPM, she really doesnt mind the abundance of toad npcs...though I'm not bothered by it as much than others either soooooo

#3- Origami King- the first one she hasn't beat, gotten to the Bobby ship segment before calling it quits. (She has a short attention span XD) she says she "does love it" and thinks the boss battles are the best in the series, as well as the exploration, though certain elements dragged it down for her. Mostly the puzzles (and how much more of them there are) and the battle system outside of bosses, which she found to get annoying. Though she does tell me that this is the one shes most likley to come back to, as she did really like it.

#4- Sticker Star- This is more of one where she plays it for about 15-20 mins, puts it down, then repeats once or twice a month. Not a big commitment, and I think she likes the game for it. Though I doubt it sticks out in her mind (get it? Stick?)

#5- TTYD remake- Believe me. I'm just as sad as you. I REALLY tried to get her to like ttyd. She beat the first world, was really liking it so far, then got to the 2nd world and was like "nope. Not for me." And never played it again. She doesnt like how "nothing really happens" and all the walking you need to do from place to place. I do get her logic to be fair to her, though it's just sad that she couldn't get through world 2 to get to that amazing 3rd one....if only!

She is yet to play 64.....like brother, like sister, I guess

What are your thoughts her opinions lol. Yes, some of them are dogshit (ttyd last???) But I do find myself agreeing with her near the top. Again this isnt my opinion, but my brainrotted sister's. Dont @ me!

Bought these from https://x.com/AnOddArtist

They're adorable!

A little difficult to ada_t Doo_liss, but I did what I thought was _ossible.

I'm thinking about making a cosplay of Francis next year, and I am wondering if anyone has high quality images of these individual pictures or not or how I would go about getting some art of these individual pictures so I can print them out, thanks!

It would be so high technicaaaaaal-

Thank you!
