I agre

See this is what I’ve been saying this whole time! Glad someone finally agrees with me!

Yeah that was on Citra too, seems to be a universal issue.

“Most underrated” does not mean much when the game is basically correctly hated for almost everything, but I do agree in that because there are so many things to hate it for the license to hate has gone massively beyond even other things with reasons to hate them save the Star Wars fandom. That is, the intensity is far too much and uniquely oversized, but any criticisms is very likely correct.

Can’t believe you’d do this to me

didn’t mean to

My 3ds is modded but I lost my sd card a long time ago, and I dont have any other version of NSMB2

Yeah I guess what the TTYD fans want is for the games to be the same every time, and while I did enjoy TTYD just as much as the other games, I don’t want all of my Paper Mario’s to just be TTYD, and I think it’s important to acknowledge change. I believe change is what makes the games in a series unique, and it’s one of the reasons I come back to this series. If every game was like TTYD, I probably would leave the series and not come back out of boredom. That is my stance, and I will not be reiterating or revising it.

I have only played PM64, TTYD, SPM, and PMSS and honestly, I've found TTYD to be the least enjoyable of the games. I do think the remake has fixed that a little bit, but I still don't get why everyone loves TTYD so much or hates on Sticker Star like they do.

​@@jasonkoch3182That's surprising. I do understand that TTYD has its problems, though. Getting coins there is not as quick as any other PM game, Crystal Stars are not as good as Star Spirits and the overworld movement is not as good as in 64 or Super. I do love the game, still, even if I can't beat it due to emulator and ROM issues.

You people literally can not resist the opportunity to make fun of this game.

I accidentally hit send, I have more to add. I’m just going to give some constructive advice: the toad jokes are starting to become as unoriginal as the toads themselves. I know it’s not your fault, but I hear them constantly, TASing this game for 2 months and all. Just try to switch it up once in a while is all I ask.

I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t sure if you actually liked sticker star or just had the sombrero guy as your pfp because you found it on Google or something, but it’s really, really cool to see a Siiva commenter that doesn’t hate Sticker Star. I do have to recommend replays for this game, there’s a lot, and I mean a LOT, of secrets in this game that might make themselves apparent on subsequent replays. It makes exploration a lot more enjoyable, in my opinion. If you’re looking to speedrun this game, now is a good time to start. Nobody’s playing right now except for Nevu, who just got full sweep so will probably be taking a break. Also, this is just the tip of the iceberg for speedrun strats lol.

I recall that doing too much damage though

Yeah we’d have to get 3 HP UP hearts to survive it AND use a mushroom before hand. So it wouldn’t save time overall.

Doesn’t the sponge also work? Since it’ll soak up the damage of the explosion?

@@dragonflied3 We would also have to go very far out of our way for that.

No idea

I agree, it absolutely trivializes so many fights

The thing I wish Sticker Star are enemies complex enough and tuned enough that you would need to use all of the stickers but there was never any one strategy. The fact that there is a thing to buff attack that much, two to reflect front projectiles, one to counter jumping enemies, and so much more, such as powerful jumps versus jumps to ignore spikes versus multibounce versus 100 bounces if timed correctly makes me think of a direction where Sticker Star was literally about collecting stickers in the world for unique strategies like a proper deck-building game as opposed to a point-and-click adventure handheld game.

I don’t rember

This is second-hand information I heard from elsewhere but, supposedly, you can use the sponge to block the attack?

You can, you need to have a lot of HP I forgot the amount tho

You need at least 31 HP to survive the explosion ONLY if you pop it with a Spike Helmet. Otherwise, it deals 99 damage, which you can't get before beating it

@@neverttheguy2670 right, thx

We’ll see

It saves about a second and a half.

Thank you! And your welcome!

Thank you!

@@Sqidzies Just wondering, any particular reason you chose Sticker Star? I enjoyed the TAS but I’m curious to know the inspiration behind this since the game is usually poorly regarded. (Not a knock against you at all)

@@SirCacto The game's reception was not a factor in making the TAS. It was my first Paper Mario game I ever played and even though I got Super Paper Mario 2 years later I've always had a soft spot for it. I've been in the speedrunning community for a while, but at that point I hadn't done anything major (I found 1 OOB clip in 2020 that was completely worthless). Sometime in late 2022, I noticed that Citra had fixed the TASing capabilities on their emulator, making TASing this game possible. I began routing the shortest category, because I knew that category could be blown completely out of the water with heavy use of a newly discovered trick, Kooll Album. On January 20th, 2023, I finished the route and began TASing. I also took HEAVY inspiration from Malleo during my TASing process. I streamed 99% of it, my layout in general was very similar to Malleo's, and I displayed info on screen in a similar way that Malleo did on his streams. I really do think Malleo is super talented, but the only reason I did this was because I thought it looked great on his streams. Something else to note: This TAS absolutely would not have happened without Koollname discovering Kooll Album. That was really the final straw for me TASing this game, and it opened so many new doors in the game, like skipping the battle spinner. This run would not have been sub 50 without Koollname, if I ever bothered to do it. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I don’t think I need to provide the save file but I’ll put the bk2 in the description later.

@@Sqidzies sure lmk when :)

@@chenzo6165 I FORGOR ☠ but it's in there now. Yt won't let me put long links so I had to use a url shortener.

@@Sqidzies tyty

It already is and has been for years. Check src

1. Yes, that does mean the battle spinner is never unlocked. This is one of the reasons RTA runners don’t do the skip. 2. No it’s not known why exactly, but we speculate it has something to do with triggers being angled. 3. It’s faster because it takes almost a second longer to charge up to great than a nice, and the great animation is longer. You can see the great animation at 9:22 4. Yeah you are absolutely right. I was a complete idiot and missed that. Thank you for pointing this out!

We knew it would be sub 49 because I timed where Nevu was at like 3-2 vs where I was and subtracted the difference from Nevus run and that got sub 49. I’m glad you enjoyed the streams, I did a lot too! 🎺

Thank you very much!

Thank you for being there every step of the way. I don’t think this TAS would’ve happened if not for you. I’ll probably start routing any% sooner than I expected to BTW.

I actually didn’t even miss action commands that much in the TAS lol

I'm gonna miss those streams

I will too. I guess you could say we finally made it out of multivator mayham😭😭😭🎺
