I am reading this before the video premier and all this video game music suddenly being interrupted by Scatman made me do a sorta double take. Cant wait to see what its used for EDIT: watched the video, not dissapointed
There's so many ways to avoid taking damage it's actually crazy. Stone Caps, evasion, status inflictions, AI manipulation, the usual defensive badge setup... the list goes on and on. Great job covering all of that in the video.
You pointed this out near the end, but that's why I like videos like this. You not only beat the challenge, but you showcased several quirks with Paper Mario's design philosophy. Your content serves as a major backbone in my fascination with game design. Make you seem like a keeper of the Paper Mario Lore, so to speak. Keep sharing the community's knowledge, man, and keep up the great work!
Same here. Just seeing how the game works internally, the flaws and quirks with each one, and the amount of work within the community - amongst other reasons - are one of the many reasons why I'm pursuing Game Development. Unfortunately, I have too much projects that I want to work on, with most of them making mods for other games.
Nothing, a simple Last Stand, Damage Dodge, Water Block and Chill Out can’t solve, but when none of those resources are available… well we’ll just have to see.
I was screaming at the top of my lung: Chet Rippo makes this pretty much a normal run. Glad you lied to us and withheld that information till the very end.
It made things a LOT more interesting to see how long he could do it without using Chet Rippo, and the fact it took MASTER 3 to have him go that far, after beating Bowser no less, is insane.
Good showmanship, using a different strategy as often as possible, keeping broken abilities in your back pocket until it was absolutely necessary. Nice job keeping the feeling fresh all throughout.
I liked this, but imma be real, i wouldn't like it if this channel switched to _only_ or even _primarily_ this type of content. The let's plays and livestreams are what i came here for, with his fun interactions with the co-comms and funny challenge shenanigans. I'd like if this type of video happened once in a while tho, this video was really good
That was a great video! I really like this editing style! Also, showcasing diverse strategies while cracking jokes made this video much more interesting than the typical "can you beat x while y" which become very stale after a while, I feel. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of these in the near future because, as you said, it's a lot of work, but count me in next time one releases!
In all seriousness this video is incredible. High production value, longform Fatguy videos aren't something we get everyday but are a treat every time.
If you intend to show off more fun stuff and knowledge concerning the Paper Mario franchise (or even other games or franchise, like Celes-), go for it dude. Anytime a content creator makes a video about something they're really passionate about, you can feel that passion through the screen and the videos consequently become all the more enjoyable to watch. I definitely could feel all the work and passion you put through this video, and I wanna see more of that. Also the way you deepthroated that microphone, like gawd damn dude-
This is the perfect example of what "Can you beat X by doing Y" videos should be! In general, these kind of videos are just "Get through the prologue by using RNG until you can cheese your way out of the whole run". You deliberately avoid abusing RNG, overpowered items or strategies in order to show all the different ways to avoid damage in your run, and making it interesting from beginning to end. This is HIGH-QUALITY! Bravo
Can definitely see the amount of effort you put into this video, I’m all for these kinds of videos! And it’s always fun to learn some neat Paper Mario trivia along the way. I’m a casual enjoyer of the Paper Mario series, but love seeing games like these really test the boundaries of what is possible through the game’s parameters. Show us the cheese, exploits, and other fun challenges that members of the community could give a try.
This is the first video I've seen from this channel and I learned so much about Paper Mario, so I guess you successfully did what you set out to do. I had a great time watching this too!
Love this style of video, I loved your PMTTYD minimum Star Points run, and I'm happy that you're coming out with more scripted long-form videos like this! Would be great to see more videos like this
This was a fun run to see. I've wondered how nobody's posted a minimum damage run yet. I've done it before, but don't have a good way of recording it. My experience was very different from yours, though. I modified the rules to remove as much randomness as I could. I also banned item shops, but used Chet Rippo. I may go back and see what the count is if I also ban him, but it will definitely be higher. If anyone's interested, the rest of the comment is how I beat the run. To elaborate on the removed randomness, I outright banned the luck badges. For similar reasons, I also banned Power Bounce and status unless it had a 100% chance of working. This basically meant only the Sleepy Sheep on the Magikoopa was allowed. Goomba King had to be a little lucky since he could either kick you for 1 damage or drop Goomnuts on you for 2 damage. 1 damage is required for the minimum. With that 1 and the Goomba Bros 3, Prologue ends with 19 damage. Chapter 1 was easy. I used many of the same strategies you did to get through. I did, however, require something different for Jr Troopa. There actually is a guaranteed way of beating him without taking damage or relying on luck to do so. By going back to Goomba Village after getting Kooper, but before beating the Koopa Bros, you can jump from the bricks to the stone block at Jr Troopa's playground. Kooper can hit the invisible block above it for a Repel Gel. Chapter 1 is beaten with no damage. Chapter 2 is where I thought of the shopless rule. Stone Caps are the boring answer, but what if I banned item shops entirely? The badge shop and Merlow are fine, but buying 100 Stone Caps or other items are not. Chapter 2 went by with few issues (and I did upgrade Bombette over Kooper, thank you very much), until I got to Tutankoopa. However I calculated it, I would take a minimum of 2 damage. I could stop the damage with a Repel Gel, but the next one wouldn't be available until Chapter 3 (spoilers, I'll need it). I could use the first one here instead of Jr Troopa, but only if I can take less than 2 damage against him. I can. I restarted the game and got back to before the Koopa Bros fight. I had to make preparations that required backtracking. By grinding Chuck Quizmo for Star Pieces, it's possible to get enough to buy Zap Tap. I also needed to fight one or two optional encounters for the last few experience to get to Level 3. The goal is 10 FP and 6 BP. Turn 1, Power Jump and Bomb for 7 damage. Jr Troopa then hits you for 1 and takes 1 from Zap Tap. Another Power Jump and Bomb for his last 7 means Chapter 1 is completed with 1 damage and the Repel Gel can be used in Chapter 2 for no damage. The total damage so far is 20. Chapter 3 posed another challenge in Jr Troopa, but there are just enough overworld items to win without taking damage. I collected the Thunder Bolt on Pleasant Path, the Shooting Star in Goomba Village, the Thunder Rage in Dry Dry Desert, and the Repel Gel in Gusty Gulch. I also grabbed Power Rush, Double Dip, and D-Down Jump from Tubba Blubba's Castle. I also saw Chet Rippo to reduce my max HP to 5 (which I don't consider taking damage). The turn order was using the Thunder items and Outta Sight, then Shooting Star and Repel Gel. Hit with D-Down Jump until the Repel Gel wears off, then Outta Sight to get one last D-Down Jump for exactly 40 damage. This does require 20 FP and there are only two FP Pluses, so at least two levels have to go into FP. The Heart was no issue. Power Rush and Outta Sight had me get through it without items. Chapter 3 is beaten with no damage. Chapter 4 was easy. Big Lantern Ghost only attacks every other turn, so just Outta Sight. General Guy used a similar strategy to you. I used seven charges against the Shy Squad. Stilts Guys are taken out with Quake Hammer and Outta Sight. Shy Stacks are taken out with Quake Hammer, Outta Sight, and Star Storm. At the tank, Mario hasn't jumped yet and can win in one hit. Chapter 3 is really where the challenge ends for a while. Chapter 5 is barely worth mentioning. I used Ice Power instead of Snowman Dolls. No damage. Huff N Puff, Crystal King, and Chapter 8 Jr Troopa can be beaten with the Charge strategy. I fought the Anti Guy Unit for fun. I don't know how the AI for Bowser works, so it was inconsistent, but possible to win damageless. That just leaves the 6 damage Twink takes for 26 damage total. I've been meaning to go back and beat the remaining optional bosses. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
This was a treat to watch. Great editing, great commentary. I loved your choice of background music. (Using Petey Piranha’s theme during the Lava Piranha battle was a stroke of genius XD)
The editing, writing, and like.. Everything in this video is so fantastic?? You really outdid yourself I love all of your videos but this one is such a gem
OMG I loves this video sooooooooo much! The quips (and lies), music choices, entire idea, commentary, editing, and just everything in general made this a very enjoyable video to watch. It also felt really good when you showed off different strategies and I got to go "I knew that could work too!"
This is such a cool video, it's nice to see a more heavily edited video from you once in a while and I can definitely see that you enjoyed making it. Again, such a great video!
Never realized this game had so many ways to literally be undefeatable, I really love Paper Mario 64 over the other Paper Mario and this video made me appreciate it more!
TH-cam be screwing me over on the notification game. This content is too amazing to miss, yet TH-cam didn't tell me, even though I've subscribed, notified, and clicked the stream for explicit notification reminders! How can I go on with TH-cam depriving me of such good content?
This is definitely not only a fun and informative video, but also a great display of inventive editing and usage of music. This style for the videos is something I wholeheartedly support and I can’t wait to see what Fatguy will do next. ☺️
Well edited, nicely narrated and overall very good presentation of the whole thing. Also with the explanation even a dumdum as myself could follow. But I think the power of the greenscreen damaged my retina a little.
Incredible editing, incredible music choices throughout. 10/10 video. I WAS going to be all "hey what about chet rippo" in the comments but I decided to wait until I at least finished watching the video lol
I, for one, enjoy a more produced, thought out and well done video - though i'll always enjoy the more casual "let's just play it" videos. Great work on this one, Fatguy! Had a *bob-ombast* time with it
Gosh what a phenomenal video! I've been watching your content for awhile now but I have really interacted that much, but for real I adore watching all your stuff and every new video brings joy to my day whenever it's posted or whenever I get to it! I adored the video format and goofy editing and humor you plugged into this one. It felt different, but so right
Great video! Found it informative and entertaining. I think the calamity ganon joke was funny especially the second time. This challenge looked fun to me so I stared it a couple days after watching your video. Red and Blue goomba took me 88 resets, but it was on the switch so at least I could save a few seconds per reset with save state. Still only to chapter two, but I found something I thought was fun, you can get back to danger by using Chet repo. I’m at 5 hp forever now.
Having only played ttyd I was thinking the whole video "wow it's pretty weird there's no way to lower your max health to 5 in this game," and then the plot twist at the end came. Great video
This reminded me that I did a (off camera, played it for myself) playthrough of Paper Mario Dark Star edition which allows you to do a full 1hp playthrough since chapter 1 and I can say that aside from Bowser and Jr. Troopa scripted battles It is possible to beat the game without taking damage (considering all the bosses there are much MUCH harder). I followed a single advice given to me by ShadeBlade creator of Dark Star Edition: "Items are your friends". That gave me the idea of making an RPG where you can't get hit or you die, so you have to rely on your items and always be on your toes (as well as managing your dodges well). Thanks to the Decomp being complete and Merlon being out, I might begin a lil development of that once I get decent at C++.
Holy shit this was an idear that I never thought would be possible I love the jokes how you didnt just spam stone cap and even build a strat around it every time its an higlight to see sutch videos pls do more of them
Not only is this a great video about the challenge, but man the editing is so phenomenal, the cuts, the live action segments with you in front of the green screen, your humor and jokes has always been my favorite out of all the content creators I watch, so this video is a sweet treat for me. Seriously, this video is both informative and hilarious, fantastic!
I would like you to know, since it made me so happy, that when you pointed at the camera (for the first time), you were pointing at my cat, who was snugged up with me. And she looked at you with this confused look, as if to say ‘why are you pointing at me?’. Great video
25:33 yall we cannot let this slide Funny man, where did you get this picture? Any…special sights you’ve been looking at the past few days? Anything that your employer might be able to see if you didn’t delete your search history? Who’s the artist btw? Do you know the artist? Can you tell who made the art? Please and thank you?
Been following you since you had like 2k subs or so, and man, your usual live/vod content is amazing and your jokes and way of comment your streams are perfect for long runs like the streamed ones... yet this video was my fav by far. I don't know, but your humor works well as heck in scripted videos as well. I was entertained since the first until the last second, like I usually am with jrose11. Keep these kind of video coming, man - I know they need effort, but it's worth it. ❤
That was a super fun video! I loved the humor and the pacing of it, and as a more casual paper mario player, i wasn't sure if you could remove 5 HP like in the sequel, so that last bit was hilarious. Also, good music selection 👌

EDIT: watched the video, not dissapointed
What is the piano song at the very end?
@@Magic_Iceshould be Exhale, from Celeste, I believe. He seems to have missed it in the list.
We love a king who credits the music he used with time stamps!!!!
Thank you for doing this you’ve no idea how much it means to me when you do this and btw you’ve got some fire music in there
There's so many ways to avoid taking damage it's actually crazy. Stone Caps, evasion, status inflictions, AI manipulation, the usual defensive badge setup... the list goes on and on. Great job covering all of that in the video.
Stone caps are especially egregious due to 64 partner mechanics
NOW THIS IS A CROSSOVER I'M ALL IN FOR
So glad I'm not the only character from this series to watch these videos
Bro we need more of these guys to show up.
Blows my mind I used to be so bad at this game... Okay, I first played when I was like 5 but still
You pointed this out near the end, but that's why I like videos like this. You not only beat the challenge, but you showcased several quirks with Paper Mario's design philosophy.

Oh damn, you put that rather eloquently! I totally agree
didn't he still take damage in the volcano boss?
I might have missed something but that 1 damage from the main plant was still there?
@@MrRiverFacecould have been a wayward footage from a different run
@@MrRiverFaceWith all his badges equipped and water block the lava piranha only did 2 damage and his guard blocked 2 damage.
Nothing, a simple Last Stand, Damage Dodge, Water Block and Chill Out can’t solve, but when none of those resources are available… well we’ll just have to see.
how is this NPC ass comment the top comment 💀💀💀
and lucky day
I was screaming at the top of my lung: Chet Rippo makes this pretty much a normal run. Glad you lied to us and withheld that information till the very end.

Damn, your single lung? Wild
Should be easy if you go for a diplomacy build
if you sleuth enough problems you win immediately so this is true
Spend 10 pp to improve relations then go communist for the weekly manpower
@spaghettiwt9783 instructions unclear, i cannot open the door at the beginning of the game, i am softlocked.
Good showmanship, using a different strategy as often as possible, keeping broken abilities in your back pocket until it was absolutely necessary. Nice job keeping the feeling fresh all throughout.
Repeating myself here but this shit is phenomenal dude, major props 👌
Who doesn't love the longform Fatguy content.
Hi Lenny
@@colossaldonut5190 “longform fatguy content”

im trying to casually watch and do chores. Its hard.
I’ve loved Paper Mario since the day it came out. I’m so glad you finally showed me the true purpose of Chet Rippo. Thank you good sir
Loved this😂. It really got when you had that reveal at the end as I didn’t know or think about that strategy
That was a great video! I really like this editing style! Also, showcasing diverse strategies while cracking jokes made this video much more interesting than the typical "can you beat x while y" which become very stale after a while, I feel.

This does require 20 FP and there are only two FP Pluses, so at least two levels have to go into FP. The Heart was no issue. Power Rush and Outta Sight had me get through it without items. Chapter 3 is beaten with no damage.
Chapter 4 was easy. Big Lantern Ghost only attacks every other turn, so just Outta Sight. General Guy used a similar strategy to you. I used seven charges against the Shy Squad. Stilts Guys are taken out with Quake Hammer and Outta Sight. Shy Stacks are taken out with Quake Hammer, Outta Sight, and Star Storm. At the tank, Mario hasn't jumped yet and can win in one hit.
Chapter 3 is really where the challenge ends for a while. Chapter 5 is barely worth mentioning. I used Ice Power instead of Snowman Dolls. No damage. Huff N Puff, Crystal King, and Chapter 8 Jr Troopa can be beaten with the Charge strategy. I fought the Anti Guy Unit for fun. I don't know how the AI for Bowser works, so it was inconsistent, but possible to win damageless. That just leaves the 6 damage Twink takes for 26 damage total. I've been meaning to go back and beat the remaining optional bosses. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
This was a treat to watch. Great editing, great commentary. I loved your choice of background music. (Using Petey Piranha’s theme during the Lava Piranha battle was a stroke of genius XD)
'broader audience' you're goddamn right
The editing, writing, and like.. Everything in this video is so fantastic?? You really outdid yourself
I love all of your videos but this one is such a gem
I'm really glad this is the first of your videos I've watched, can't wait for more!
I like all the Paper Mario stuff on the wall! I'd love to have something like that, wish it was easier to find merch for the series.
Love this video format, very entertaining and captivating. Hope to see more of this kind of content!
OMG I loves this video sooooooooo much! The quips (and lies), music choices, entire idea, commentary, editing, and just everything in general made this a very enjoyable video to watch. It also felt really good when you showed off different strategies and I got to go "I knew that could work too!"
This is such a cool video, it's nice to see a more heavily edited video from you once in a while and I can definitely see that you enjoyed making it. Again, such a great video!
Never realized this game had so many ways to literally be undefeatable, I really love Paper Mario 64 over the other Paper Mario and this video made me appreciate it more!
Entertaining, powerful, hilarious, ambitious, compelling, courageous. I’m crying. Also your accent is just the cherry on top ❤
TH-cam be screwing me over on the notification game. This content is too amazing to miss, yet TH-cam didn't tell me, even though I've subscribed, notified, and clicked the stream for explicit notification reminders! How can I go on with TH-cam depriving me of such good content?
This is an amazingly good video, I loved how you dissected all the strategies and played everything out in the most exciting way possible.
Good on you making a showcase covering a buncha things rather than just sticking to one way that definitely works
Great video! You did an amazing job with the formatting and writing and I personally would love to see more videos likes this
This is definitely not only a fun and informative video, but also a great display of inventive editing and usage of music. This style for the videos is something I wholeheartedly support and I can’t wait to see what Fatguy will do next. ☺️
Well edited, nicely narrated and overall very good presentation of the whole thing. Also with the explanation even a dumdum as myself could follow. But I think the power of the greenscreen damaged my retina a little.
Damn!
Those were clever strats to get around all the hurdles.
Great work man and I'd love to see another video like this in the future.
I swear Jon (I just assume thats your name you look like a Jon) this vid is AMAZINGLY edited. this made my sat night ❤
I would love more videos like this! It's always a pleasure to increase my Paper Mario knowledge :D
Incredible editing, incredible music choices throughout. 10/10 video. I WAS going to be all "hey what about chet rippo" in the comments but I decided to wait until I at least finished watching the video lol
I SAW YOU CALLING ME A BITCH IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER BRO 2:56 LOOOOOOL
This is such an amazing video. I was already a huge fan, as you might remember, but more of this would be AMAZING
I love this style of content, i do hope to see more of it in the future. Also chapter 6 is edited like a ytp and i love it.
19:42 Amazing
i appreciate long videos. what i love is when people like you spread it out with "humor checkpoints"
top tier entertainment
I, for one, enjoy a more produced, thought out and well done video - though i'll always enjoy the more casual "let's just play it" videos.
Great work on this one, Fatguy! Had a *bob-ombast* time with it
Gosh what a phenomenal video! I've been watching your content for awhile now but I have really interacted that much, but for real I adore watching all your stuff and every new video brings joy to my day whenever it's posted or whenever I get to it! I adored the video format and goofy editing and humor you plugged into this one. It felt different, but so right
18:52 oh hey, it's the "you win" part of the song! That's a really neat detail.
Great video! Found it informative and entertaining. I think the calamity ganon joke was funny especially the second time. This challenge looked fun to me so I stared it a couple days after watching your video. Red and Blue goomba took me 88 resets, but it was on the switch so at least I could save a few seconds per reset with save state. Still only to chapter two, but I found something I thought was fun, you can get back to danger by using Chet repo. I’m at 5 hp forever now.
Forgot you did mention that later in the video, guess I gotta watch it again to see what else I missed
Having only played ttyd I was thinking the whole video "wow it's pretty weird there's no way to lower your max health to 5 in this game," and then the plot twist at the end came. Great video
3min in and already one of the most entertaining no damage challenges I've seen, they tend to be high effort low value but this is just
Good
How did i never notice the way goombella winks is by closing her iris until just now goombas are freaky when you actually stop and look at them
Comment for algorithmic. Love the video and glad to see you are experimenting with some other styles of content that make you happier to make!
This is one of the best Paper Mario videos I've ever seen. Really well done and also enjoyed the classic Fatguy style. Very fun!
I was practically screaming Chet Rippo the whole time but had a feeling that was gonna be at the end.
20:44
I've both played this game and watched so many of your videos. And yet I never knew that the first General Guy phase could run away like that.
I thought they could only run if there was one Shy Guy left.
How have I never considered grabbing the ultra boots before fighting Huff n Puff, that's so useful
Dude went through chapter 8 twice just for the content. Respec.
This just shows how overpowered badges are in Paper Mario. I love it!
"We love bow in this household" 23:53 proceeds to show the most devious artwork of any nintendo character I've ever seen
This reminded me that I did a (off camera, played it for myself) playthrough of Paper Mario Dark Star edition which allows you to do a full 1hp playthrough since chapter 1 and I can say that aside from Bowser and Jr. Troopa scripted battles It is possible to beat the game without taking damage (considering all the bosses there are much MUCH harder). I followed a single advice given to me by ShadeBlade creator of Dark Star Edition: "Items are your friends".
That gave me the idea of making an RPG where you can't get hit or you die, so you have to rely on your items and always be on your toes (as well as managing your dodges well). Thanks to the Decomp being complete and Merlon being out, I might begin a lil development of that once I get decent at C++.
Holy shit this was an idear that I never thought would be possible I love the jokes how you didnt just spam stone cap and even build a strat around it every time its an higlight to see sutch videos pls do more of them
4:50 perfect cutaway, always loved that shot
Oh wow the production value is good on this one. I’ve watched you a long time this is great to see
Not only is this a great video about the challenge, but man the editing is so phenomenal, the cuts, the live action segments with you in front of the green screen, your humor and jokes has always been my favorite out of all the content creators I watch, so this video is a sweet treat for me. Seriously, this video is both informative and hilarious, fantastic!
26:20 That's some really nice editing. Makes the repetitive battles that much more entertaining.🤣
I would absolutely not mind more videos like this, with some regular ones in between.
Yo honestly your humor and editing are top notch my guy, please keep up the incredible work or whatever idk
Been a while since i've watched your stuff, glad to see that you're still doing PM content and that you're doing well!
This one made me sub. I also shared to my brother as it’s an all time favorite.
The chapter 6 edit was amazing haha
The editing on this video is so freakin good, omg.
I would like you to know, since it made me so happy, that when you pointed at the camera (for the first time), you were pointing at my cat, who was snugged up with me. And she looked at you with this confused look, as if to say ‘why are you pointing at me?’. Great video
such amazing quality. better than channels with hundreds of thousands of subs. Keep going I know the algorithm is going to love this
Honestly a super impressive run, i didnt expect how well everything would go!
Would love to see more stuff similar like this in the future
Your tier lists were high quality but this is on another level. Turning on notifications for the next one B)
I am in love with the editing and the humor is amazing!!!!
I'm 1 minute in. You have superb music choice.
This video was Amazing I love watching paper mario content and seeing that this was indeed possible i was watching the entire time. Loved it man
25:33 yall we cannot let this slide
Funny man, where did you get this picture? Any…special sights you’ve been looking at the past few days? Anything that your employer might be able to see if you didn’t delete your search history? Who’s the artist btw? Do you know the artist? Can you tell who made the art? Please and thank you?
My man is down bad...
But, uhhhh, if you find who made it...
Sharing is caring.
Love that Bug Fables music in the beginning
Stryder please come back 😢
I know right 😭
He won’t
Been following you since you had like 2k subs or so, and man, your usual live/vod content is amazing and your jokes and way of comment your streams are perfect for long runs like the streamed ones... yet this video was my fav by far. I don't know, but your humor works well as heck in scripted videos as well. I was entertained since the first until the last second, like I usually am with jrose11. Keep these kind of video coming, man - I know they need effort, but it's worth it. ❤
I like how the video makes me want to test different strategies in paper mario
An incredible challenge and video. I loved playing this game when I was younger.
The editing is great! I love this style of content, if you decide to make more videos like this one I’ll be sure to give them a watch
When I saw Danger Mario show up, I popped tf off. Fantastic video!
This should be easy if you drop all your points from Guns, Energy Weapons, Melee, and Unarmed and put them into Speech and Barter.
That was a super fun video! I loved the humor and the pacing of it, and as a more casual paper mario player, i wasn't sure if you could remove 5 HP like in the sequel, so that last bit was hilarious. Also, good music selection 👌
Very exited for this! Always loved your content over the years fatguy, I’m 1000% sure this video won’t dissapoint!
This was great, I'd love to see more like this! Great work!
This was interesting and well-done and I appreciate all the work you put into making the video!
Absolutely incredible video. I was particularly impressed by the editing on Kent C, haha
One of the most quality videos you ever made. Thanks for that, really appreciate the effort
You may not always post scripted content, but when you do it's ALWAYS a banger
