I′m surprised I havn′t seen anyone say this, according to the wiki, the reason the fish gets faster is it speeds up whenever it spins it′s tail. That means that the FUNNEST PART OF THE GAME for you guys was caused by a developer forgetting to reset a variable. Truely a testiment to this game′s quality.
Fun Fact: Even though you can't use Kersti as a sticker outside of the final fight, she still has a shop selling price. That price is 15 coins. This naggy sticker is worth 15 coins.
Fun fact, in the jungle world in the trash dump before you clear it out, you can find a note from goombella in the trash, I was speed clicking and couldn't see it but it definitely appeared, it said something about her university. Just want to say It here.
What gets me about 🐟 is that it already gets noticeably faster on the *third* run of the level, so imagine missing the secret exit on the first two times and THEN having to go back to find the exit
Or god forbid you didn't get all the secrets the first time because you didn't have a Secret Door on hand or you didn't find the Megaflash Infinijump room.
@@velvetbutterfly yeah but that’s different because HP in that game is dependent on what you choose in level ups, and who’s going to choose HP when both FP and BP are 10x better options. In this game it’s different because by getting more HP, you aren’t losing out on FP or BP, so it’s objectively the better move to try and max out HP
as don shnack (or someone in his chat i dont remember) once said, this game has more elements in common with survival horror than an rpg: the most efficient way to deal with enemies is running so you don't consume your resources
And the economy goes bonkers once you unlock 4-1, which is the best money grind spot, thus making all the stickers available at shop, INCLUDING THE THINGS, is basically free.
I like to describe Sticker Star as "the game that wants you to 100% it before playing it blind" because there are so many non-sensical moments where the game just expects you to know what youre supposed to do when the hints are even more cryptic than the ramblings of an old cave hermit and fun fact, the game actually has a fake level up system where Mario just deals more damage based on his max health, which I belive is only capped to 100 by the amount of hp ups in the game in the game, so if you increase his max health beyond that you can deal damage that was never intended to be possible, which further proves to me this game is held together by duct tape that stopped sticking
Fun fact: since you can beat the bosses out of order, I deliberately collected all of the HP up hearts before fighting the first boss so I had more HP than it. In addition to that, I made sure to Perfect Bonus it to assert dominance.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast I fought big pokey and squid with perfect bonus (although i used endlessjumps (maybe that's why the fish level becomes more difficult bc you can farm megaflash endlessjumps at the secret exit), all the minibosses should be doable (even without infinites) except kamek since he gives you flipflops. The only ones left are snowman, petey and bowser. I don't think you can beat petey bc you don't have the sticker wheel and i don't see how you can deal 300dmg on 1/4 dmg multiplier with one sticker and bowser has plot armor at 10hp. I never tried snowman tho. Single hit attacks cap at 99. Maybe you can play radio and two megainfinites. They deal 3 per jump (i think) times two from the radio and 1/4 on boss armor deals 1.5 per jump. If it rounds up you deal 400dmg on round one but i don't think it does)
I was really hoping someone had done a TAS of the fish raft sequence and tried to get the fish as fast as possible to see the cap, but I haven't found anything. No one cares enough about this game to TAS it lol
a neat and extremely obscure fact about the final Bowser that only those who purposefully goof around w/him like I did would know is, Bowser actually gets more turns the longer the battle has gone on. so he'll eventually get 2 turns, then 3, all up through 5 as long as he has his arms alive Bowser can crumple mario. w/Bowser's additional turn gimmick, w/4-5 turns in a row, he actually will nearly or outright kill a 100hp mario from full health, including crumple Status, which's a coin toss on if it'll kill or not, as mario can deff live while crumpled, but it depends on what bowser does da sad part is its specifically because he just dies in 3-5 turns flat due to infini-jump+thing stickers that not many people know this extra turns gimmick Bowser has, nor was this ever listed on the wiki(it really should be)
I'm gonna be honest, I would have thought I was supposed to make friends with Bowser Jr. before I would have thought to check wiggler. They _never_ turn into butterflies in the mario series, they just get angry and farm giant carrots.
nothing in the game itself would even hint that wiggler would turn into a butterfly except a single piece of optional dialogue. i honestly don't even think the devs intended for you to go "oh wiggler can maybe turn into a butterfly" i genuinely think they just wanted for you to search aimlessly across the entire world for a solution to extend playtime.
They have been shown before, but the problem is that it's *barely* shown. Like they appear as enemies in a few Yoshi games and appear in a few Mario Party games and like... Mario Power Tennis. It's probably one of the least prominent enemy types in the entire series lol
I fucking hate that of all the things the devs cared about THIS much with this awful game was the stupid fish miniboss, not only is it a waste of time, but it discourages exploration for no goddamn reason, like WHY was THIS so important to them that they had to give this stupid miniboss so much depth.
I believe because that level is the only one where you can get big infinijumps. So they made the level harder on later visits so you can't just trivialize most bosses. Nevermind the fact that a regular infinijump is just as good most of the time, they clearly didn't put too much thought into the damage values (or fights at all), the big infinijump was meant to be a reward.
This was my first ever Paper Mario game (aside from shortly playing the first game's first chapter until the emulator crashed, lol). I was so excited when i got it and had fun playing through it back then. So when people always said it's horrible, i couldn't help but think: It wasn't *that* bad. But watching your playthrough now. Holy shit, it's bad. The gameplay is boring and encourages you to skip fights. So many *mandatory* random things that you have to use or you just lose (i really wonde rhow i beat this game back then as a child) and then the writing. Wowie, that really is abyssmal. Like... 0% funny. I have successfully taken off my nostalgia glasses.
Tbh I wouldn't blame you for sorta not having that bad impression from it. I think most of Sticker Star's worst aspects come from when you know what the game will let you do. It's easier to not realise that fights are borderline skippable when it's not your first time through. It's a game that gets worse the more you know about it
Have you played the new TTYD remake? Both your satisfaction and mine would be as sweet as honey if you went from saying "Sticker Star isn't THAT bad" to playing not only a GOOD Paper Mario, but what's commonly called the best.
It's so dumb you can't see action commands. Paper Mario on the N64 already had the foresight to do that, because no way you'd figure out those moves without the game telling you!
And there's a variety of them besides "press A at the right time!" Oh wait, I'm sorry, you have to blow into the mic for the cake, WHICH THE GAME DOESN'T TELL YOU ABOUT.
40:13 Did you know that you can damage the Chain Chomp with the first strike. But After that you can’t damage him with any attacks but sadly he restore his HP when you run away so you can’t kill him with this strategy.
Is tossing the infinijumps more BM than saving them for the magikoopa fight and using them as slippers? Would technically be using them for a boss fight 😂
Sticker Star continues to feel like a game designed by a single Intern who enjoys watching people suffer. And I don't even mean Elden Ring suffer, that kind of suffering is fun for both sides. I'm talking MARIO MAKER TROLL LEVEL suffer, the kind of "I genuinely want to spend the rest of my life knowing I ruined HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people's WEEKS"
I guess the reason they made the fish so hard was to avoid people farming infinijumps, but if you're good enough at video games to do the hard fish, you probably don't need more inifinijumps.
Ah yes instead of letting players farm a strong sticker instead they just make every fight have a thing sticker that one shots the boss anyways. What a fucking joke of a game.
Did they really try to give Kersti a character redemption speech at the final boss? After all the [1-Up] she gives the player the whole game? Nah, [1-Up] that, get outta here.
1:35 you make that joke... but some people WOULD actually do that, I remember one video from a mechanic where the owner claimed her turn signal kept turning on by itself. It was her super heavy ornament hanging off the stick that kept pulling it down.
Canonically if you hack the game to even sell Kersti, she’s worth 15 coins, even the game thinks she’s worthless. Also the Jukebox is the only time you ever hear Super Mario Land 2’s Space Land in any Mario game which is sad because Super Mario Land 2 is much better, and Sticker Star isn’t
4:14 WOAH IM IN A BRINGLE VIDEO As 1 of 3 Sticker Star fans currently alive I was so happy to catch this live. Even if he talked shit about it the whole time it was still an enjoyable stream and I can’t say that about most streams :)
Petey Piranha is the best boss in the whole game because his weakness is actually in the fight (being his bellybutton) as opposed to a thing sticker a thousand miles from you with no indication that it's needed for the battle. You get to learn the fight, face him properly, and he GIVES you stickers at times to help keep the fight going, but it took them until the FIFTH boss to realize that this should be how they play. And they immediately forgot about that with Bowser.
i was so addicted to sticker star i even replayed it but i always remember switching between playing normally and then out of order like unlocking every level and beating the bosses in reverse after ive beaten every level aka i went like this Piranha, The Snowman, Everyones favorite Ink dancer, Big Pokey, King Goomba But what i noticed overall in the entire game is that in my copy and other friends copy of the game whenever we finished the game and the credits finished we were sent back to our last save file which is pre-bowser beaten which made me never 100% the game cus i just couldnt (and i hated having to collect all the stickers for the museum)
I think this game when it was brand new was the first time I ever opened this app, and it was to see a fucking walkthrough of the 2nd world cause the hidden passageways were so bullshit
Thanks for keeping the critiques constructive and valid with this game. I don’t exactly remember but sticker star or Super Paper Mario was my first game in the Paper Mario franchise. I feel Color Splash however has way worser combat and puzzles requiring you to use limited paint for stickers and to use constant hidden things for every major battle and puzzle. I had to look up more than any other paper Mario game like the really hidden balloons behind a wall in a dark corner. Also the horrible cooking a steak boss battle. Although sticker star has some really trashy puzzles also like the hidden staircase behind the tree in world three or even the toad hidden behind the house in the intro. I also really hate the thing sticker boxes that are the wrong size such as the horn to wake up wiggler appearing as a small box even though the horn is a big sticker. Or a big box for the small light bulb sticker in the dark basement. Color splash defiently has a better final Bowser boss fight though and more emotional ending with Huey. And pretty good graphics and level locations.
30:37 I never knew about this and thought it was just really bad RNG sometimes. But when you think about it, it’s actually a pretty interesting way to indirectly limit you from farming more Megaflash Infinijumps since it’s where you get them by making it more painful lol
Fun fact: through using the paperize mode you can make an infinijump as soon as you get your first line jump it goes from line jump > shiny > flashy > flashy clone > infinijump (the flashy clone > infinijump is not guaranteed)
Bro, it's like this was going to just be some new IP but then late into development they slapped Mario onto it. I feel that if there weren't any battles besides the bosses and they trimmed down a LOT of the game(like the wiggler segments) this wouldn't be that bad of puzzle fight game. Using the thing stickers like the bat against the Pokey and Sponge against the Blooper showed potential.
The 🐟 is now canonically one of the strongest beings in the Mario universe. All because he can train in space. Not a lot of characters can live in space so he just wins.
Space Land from Super Mario Land, Moon Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey, World 4 in Super Paper Mario, the entirety of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2... Turns out surviving in space is actually pretty easy in the Mario universe.
I actually lost in the final phase because Bowser is spiky and all I had left was jumps. I couldn't even get a hammer out of pity because I had a door in my inventory and it forced to me run.
@@Slenderquil I've seen footage of people use it and fail. Does it depend on where the fight takes place or did they fix it in an update? The 3DS doesn't have online features anymore, so new players who just got the game are stuck on 1.0
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Maybe it's only the final phase? I have no clue. I didn't bother experimenting because that was the final straw and I stopped playing entirely after that.
Fun fact, you can set the giant fish loose early and when you leave and come back it will still be there, even if you're gone for several hours. Imagine being one of the toads and freaking out about it for several hours.
I can't remember what compelled me to retry the fish after getting the secret exit, but I remember the third attempt being impossible for me. Even if I could feasibly do it, I was just flabbergasted that it gets as hard as it does!
I think I know why they decided to make 5-3 harder each time. The Megaflash Infinijump sticker on the Hidden Exit Path, is definitely the Best Sticker for damage. 3 per jump, total: 300. They definitely did make it harder to discourage those who would grind them out.
17:30 Bro, it's called Cartoon Logic. Getting frozen is just an Inconvenience in most forms of Fiction (specifically, the Cartoonish kind that the Paper Mario Series kinda looks like). Also, don't forget Jr. Troopa from the Original Paper Mario. He got frozen solid after Mario defeated him in Shiver Snowfield, and was able to fight Mario near the End of the Game.
There is an incentive to fighting but its noticeable right of the bat and that is that is the easiest way to get coins and you can sometimes get stickers from enemies.
all i remember of this game when playing it as a kid is that after figuring out battling and how to do that at least it was super confusing and i didn't know how to progress lol
Bringle got so lucky the fish didn’t insta kill him by popping it I had that happen so many times in my first play through. And I thought the stacked boo was impossible the first play though and used every single sticker I had. I did not know the infinity jump was required and how I needed to do the timings
Oh bro, I missed the streams cuz stuff happened, but your pain in this game is... undescriptable when you fully play it. I saw media that originally the game was supposed to be more RPG and have a chain chomp as a partner. Heck, I'll take the chain chomp partner over Kersti any day.
The fact that bowser has no dialog shows how bad the writing is. Bowser is probably one of my favorite characters in paper mario, and he's usually really really funny! This bowser is... shiny i guess? That's it.
I think sticker star was could be better by simply using different stickers to solve an issue and make fighting enemies worth it. Like they drop better sticks and you get more health or something silly
Even if the fish is the best part it still has a major issue when you try to do it again, For some reason there's a bug that actually makes the fish go FASTER to the point it becomes impossible to beat
That’s intentional, not a bug. It’s to prevent big/mega infinijump farming. Edit: Well, “prevent” isn’t really the right word, more like “make obnoxious/difficult”.
you say thers now way of nowing about wigler to flutter. well i knew when i first played as i knew that ther was a flying wigler in the searys so i emeadeatly checked wigler and was corect. i was around 12 when i did this. or 1 was 13

Don't tell me that it wasn't intentional... how did that miss testing?

I had to look up more than any other paper Mario game like the really hidden balloons behind a wall in a dark corner. Also the horrible cooking a steak boss battle.
Although sticker star has some really trashy puzzles also like the hidden staircase behind the tree in world three or even the toad hidden behind the house in the intro. I also really hate the thing sticker boxes that are the wrong size such as the horn to wake up wiggler appearing as a small box even though the horn is a big sticker. Or a big box for the small light bulb sticker in the dark basement.
Color splash defiently has a better final Bowser boss fight though and more emotional ending with Huey. And pretty good graphics and level locations.
30:37 I never knew about this and thought it was just really bad RNG sometimes. But when you think about it, it’s actually a pretty interesting way to indirectly limit you from farming more Megaflash Infinijumps since it’s where you get them by making it more painful lol
Fun fact: through using the paperize mode you can make an infinijump as soon as you get your first line jump it goes from line jump > shiny > flashy > flashy clone > infinijump (the flashy clone > infinijump is not guaranteed)
Bro, it's like this was going to just be some new IP but then late into development they slapped Mario onto it.
I feel that if there weren't any battles besides the bosses and they trimmed down a LOT of the game(like the wiggler segments) this wouldn't be that bad of puzzle fight game. Using the thing stickers like the bat against the Pokey and Sponge against the Blooper showed potential.
It’s worse. It was going to be more in the vein of PM64 and TTYD. Then it turned into this.
@@iantaakalla8180 I still miss the chain chomp partner :(
46:11 For this fight, if you don't jump on Petey, it actually doesn't attack, and you can't even kill it until you jump
The 🐟 is now canonically one of the strongest beings in the Mario universe. All because he can train in space. Not a lot of characters can live in space so he just wins.
Space Land from Super Mario Land, Moon Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey, World 4 in Super Paper Mario, the entirety of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2... Turns out surviving in space is actually pretty easy in the Mario universe.
@@supermarioglitchy321 you know you're right.
Bruh the fish in 5-3 getting harder with each play should be considered a war crime 😭
I actually lost in the final phase because Bowser is spiky and all I had left was jumps. I couldn't even get a hammer out of pity because I had a door in my inventory and it forced to me run.
Door stickers actually don't work on this fight, so you could have used it to get rid of it.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Door stickers do work on that fight. I should know because I had to use it and it forced me to run away.
@@Slenderquil I've seen footage of people use it and fail. Does it depend on where the fight takes place or did they fix it in an update? The 3DS doesn't have online features anymore, so new players who just got the game are stuck on 1.0
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Maybe it's only the final phase? I have no clue. I didn't bother experimenting because that was the final straw and I stopped playing entirely after that.
48:35 sir, another sticker just hit the Pentagon
Fun fact, you can set the giant fish loose early and when you leave and come back it will still be there, even if you're gone for several hours. Imagine being one of the toads and freaking out about it for several hours.
the best part of the game being something unintended is the best part of the game
Everytime you use a special sticker you just need to mash the buttons, and to get an excellent you to look out for a one second lasting shine.
cool video but FYI this just straight up didn't show up in my subscription feed, saw it in my recommended page instead
Same, I dunno what happened
@@JonathanQShrimpling same

I can't confirm or deny if it showed up in my subscription feed since I never check it but yeah it showed in my recommended too
I genuinely wonder how Sticker Star would’ve turned out if they had just made it a puzzle-platformer.
Such a chill playthrough, and i love that fish section, the true final boss ahaha
I can't remember what compelled me to retry the fish after getting the secret exit, but I remember the third attempt being impossible for me. Even if I could feasibly do it, I was just flabbergasted that it gets as hard as it does!
I didn't think I'd ever hear the phrase "Mario's Posting Hole" on TH-cam, yet here we are. 🤣
2:02 I am your sapphic audience member here to thank you
Back for part 2 Bringle.
When are you gonna make your alt channel that's exclusively Sticker Star content?
I think I know why they decided to make 5-3 harder each time. The Megaflash Infinijump sticker on the Hidden Exit Path, is definitely the Best Sticker for damage. 3 per jump, total: 300. They definitely did make it harder to discourage those who would grind them out.
Would love to hear your perspective on KingK’s video he just put out on PM: Sticker Star
Arent the invis blocks marked by the blue flowers?

I beat this game without using the hp up hearts as a challenge and I have no idea why I did it.
Well now that you finished Sticker Star, guess its time for Color Splash!
The best parts of sticker star are when it’s not sticker star
the lava boat in sunshine was not that bad honestly
Wait, so I fought this thing hardcore after getting the fish hook and you can deflate it with the spike hat?! That's so messed up and I love it 😂

Bro, it's called Cartoon Logic. Getting frozen is just an Inconvenience in most forms of Fiction (specifically, the Cartoonish kind that the Paper Mario Series kinda looks like).
Also, don't forget Jr. Troopa from the Original Paper Mario. He got frozen solid after Mario defeated him in Shiver Snowfield, and was able to fight Mario near the End of the Game.
I think he's just joking around
Thanks for playing Sticker Star so that I never have to play Sticker Star
Let’s goo this is a member moment
🔫 🐟 song stuck my head
The Giant Fish Approaches, Sticker Star OST
There is an incentive to fighting but its noticeable right of the bat and that is that is the easiest way to get coins and you can sometimes get stickers from enemies.
all i remember of this game when playing it as a kid is that after figuring out battling and how to do that at least it was super confusing and i didn't know how to progress lol
Bringle got so lucky the fish didn’t insta kill him by popping it I had that happen so many times in my first play through. And I thought the stacked boo was impossible the first play though and used every single sticker I had. I did not know the infinity jump was required and how I needed to do the timings
Oh bro, I missed the streams cuz stuff happened, but your pain in this game is... undescriptable when you fully play it.
I saw media that originally the game was supposed to be more RPG and have a chain chomp as a partner.
Heck, I'll take the chain chomp partner over Kersti any day.
ngl the final boss would actually be really good if you didnt need a billion thing cards. or in just any other rpg
Fun fact : subscribing to bringle bringles happiness
ONE LAST FISH
🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
The Brongle fish video spoiled me; I thought it was gonna be a whole new hour of dedicated fish level footage lol.
The fact that bowser has no dialog shows how bad the writing is. Bowser is probably one of my favorite characters in paper mario, and he's usually really really funny! This bowser is... shiny i guess? That's it.
You know what that means. FISH
It's cool to see u play through sticker star. Do u have any plans for color splash and origami king?
I even didn’t know about a paper Mario on 3DS now i know what to find and suffer rhis weekend
I think sticker star was could be better by simply using different stickers to solve an issue and make fighting enemies worth it. Like they drop better sticks and you get more health or something silly
color splash when (its a million times better i loooove color splash)
I didn't watch all the first one, i fell asleep trying to three nights on a row
Even if the fish is the best part it still has a major issue when you try to do it again, For some reason there's a bug that actually makes the fish go FASTER to the point it becomes impossible to beat
Thats exactly why its so peak!
That’s intentional, not a bug. It’s to prevent big/mega infinijump farming.
Edit: Well, “prevent” isn’t really the right word, more like “make obnoxious/difficult”.
that’s why he enjoyed it so much
@@JamesP7 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH THATS WHY
I feel like you should try Color Splash now just to see how it compares to Sticker Star.
2:02 OH BOY SMOOCHING TIME
Paper Mario: The 10-Hour Wall
we love the 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
you say thers now way of nowing about wigler to flutter.
well i knew when i first played as i knew that ther was a flying wigler in the searys so i emeadeatly checked wigler and was corect. i was around 12 when i did this. or 1 was 13
thank you for showcasing stinker star, this game looks like it is not very fun at all. or at least not fun enough to be called a paper mario game.
Paper mario sticker star playthrough before paper mario 64 is crazy😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
You got to play color splash and origami king next.
I never knew you could use a spike hat to pop him? :o
you know what that means!
🐟
I guessed Flutter because I have played Mario Party 6 at least a hundred times
Literally the only thing I liked about sticker star is the music that plays while fighting giant bowser
yay, that's gore! that's gore of my uncomfort character!
