Mario Kart Wii Custom Character: Paper Mario (The Thousand Year Door Model) BETA

- Hey!
I haven't uploaded in a while but I'm back with another custom character! It's Paper Mario once again but this is probably one of the hardest projects I've done so far for this game, the model I used here is from the TTYD remake which uses layered sprites to make up a 3d model. I duplicated the 3d model so that the backside is visible at the same time as the front side. (I used culling so the backside is only visible when it's facing towards the player and same for the frontside)
So far only the menu model and the model for the inside drift bikes are done. It took me a little bit more than a month to get this far solely due to the fact that I had to animate every animation by myself since the original animations for Baby Mario (the character I put it over) would obviously look like an absolute mess with a model like this.
Animating this model is kind of like animating a puppet and what's worse is that I had to attempt to make the backside look acceptable so that's why some animations look a tiiiny bit weird.
Thanks for watching! I have no idea when I'll release this but my first goal is to get this working on the Wii as well.
I would have put the "Stylish move" sound effect for figures
Yeah, me too
Was planning to change it before I uploaded but I forgot, this sfx was a leftover from when I tried ripping sfx from the origami king 😅
@@dutchmvp26hi
Watching your vid right now I’ll juts say
Nvm I’ll just say but yeah
A thousand years of work; a thousand procent worth it
-Dhar Mann Studios
I see what you did bud, with loads of splashes of paint or rendering, and many folds of being the same
It’s really cool how despite being completely 2d he doesn’t feel out of place at all and instead feels like a REAL gimmick character that Nintendo could’ve added
the fact he bats items with a hammer is such a cute detail, i love all the little stuff like that
Thank you! The hammer's an iconic part of him so I wanted to include it somehow
i’ve never seen a character mod that was actually good and not just a homer simpson model swap. woah. well done
People have commented on the stylish thing already, but wanted to add: It's also the one thing that's mixed a little loud right now; it sticks out too much in a game where you're gonna hear the trick noise 30-50 times in some races. However you tweak it, try to find a balance between making it noticable and making it small enough to fit in without disrupting the flow of gameplay.
I bet this took a lot of work to make, and it looks cool! :)
Thank you and also for the advice! I'm definitely going to work on fixing that 😭
i love that paper mario is a lightweight character unlike normal mario, due to his proportions being different
and also the fact that hes made of paper
If Nintendo replaced all the baby characters with the paper versions it would make my day
It honestly might happen in the future, at this point I don't see any reason why flat characters like this aren't possible
@@dutchmvp26they put flat characters in Mario Kart Tour with the SNES character skins so it is possible
but there isn't a paper daisy?
I hope someone will ask them, and hopefully Nintendo will listen to them.
@@ToadSquad3 There never was a Baby Daisy/Rosalina either??
This looks WAAAAY better than I was expecting. Him using the hammer to throw items backwards looks so cool! Great job.
This is what Mario clones should be. We don't need baby/metal/gold/tanooki Mario. Paper Mario has his own games, and he actually counts as his own character.
I mean, Metal Mario is cool too. He’s badass for some reason.
@@SonicMaster519 I'd rather they incorporate the metal cap as an item somehow.
@@OrangerJuice I get it, but I think Mario Kart is bloated with enough items as is.
We can both agree Pink Gold Peach has no place in this game, though.
I didn't think Paper Mario in MK would work that well but damn this is incredibly well done, super expressive and charming, awesome work!!
Tysm!!! And me neither, I wanted to do something like this a while ago with the original model from the gamecube version but there weren't enough sprites available for the backside because the model for that was barely used back then. But with the switch remake they added a lot more so it was finally possible for me to attempt something like this!!
I can only imagine the amount of work to make this look convincing! This is coming from somebody who animated with Paper Mario characters in the past.
it's definitely not perfect but i'm just surprised i even got this to NOT look like a complete mess haha 😭😭
this is one of the greatest mkwii character mods i've ever seen. you've done unbelievably fantastic work
thank you!!
this is kickass bro, i actually want paper mario as a racer now
thankss! and same man it'd be a dream come true 😔
He would def have Lightest weight but lowest invincibility
This might be amongst my favorite character mods in this game.
You can visibly see how strong the rubber banding is for CPUs.
"I'm sorry sir, you can't drive today."
"Oh no! A-why not?"
"You've got a flat."
Oh my god, I didn't even think this could actually look so good like this
I’m still surprised Paper Mario was never added to Tour. Glad to see him here.
This is the best character mod I've ever seen
i appreciate it ^^
Definitely the most impressive custom character I've seen in any mario kart game. Is it possible to make the stylish thing come up when he does tricks?
thanks ^^, incorporating the text itself during a trick is definitely possible for me to do honestly, itll take up a bit more space but it still crashes on console (for the time being) anyways 😭 ill see what i can do!!
The animation is incredible! You're really pushing the limits of MKWii with this character.
This is quality stuff. Normally when people make mods like this it's a 30 minute texture swap where the sprites aren't offset properly and keep shifting around everytime a different animation plays
i appreciate it! i spent about a month on getting this to work for one vehicle because it was incredibly new to me 😭
since characters are like puppets in ttyd/spm the original character animations dont work for obvious reasons and i had to manually animate every single animation myself and it was HELL.
this is so cool!! i hope you can get this one working on consoles soon, cause I LOVE it!!! great job!!!
Very well done mod man! 👏
Paper Mario fits so well in baby Mario's place since he's literally paper. Plus, it's more creative then just a baby version of Mario.
Thank you!! ^^
Worth the wait, looks amazing
This is amazing how in the world!
boredom, it wasnt hard bc of previous experience but extremely time consuming 😭 even though it crashes on wii for the time being im still kind of happy with how it turned out
@@dutchmvp26This is just amazing seeing this animated so good for a flat model it seems complicated
@@LandonEmma appreciate itt ^^
Yo this is really cool, underrated vid
Thank you man, rlly appreciate it!
This is so cool!!! Played the remake for the first time and fell in love with the game, good stuff :D
Im glad you did, everyone needs to experience this game i swear
thank you btw! ;D
But what do you suppose was going on in flesh Mario's mind as he saw an atomic-thin clone of himself driving past him?
Impressive mod, I like it!
He caught feelings for him obviously B) buut anyways thxxx!! ^^
flesh mario
Damn, this is perfection. Nice work!
This is genuinely incredible!! You did an outstanding job with this mod, and I'm looking forward to seeing more work being done on it.
thank you! im looking forward to working more on this as well, really hope i can get this working on console as well ^^
I'm sure you'll manage to get it working on console! I believe in you! You got this!! :D
finally we're getting good character mods that look flattering
Probably the best custom character I've ever seen
appreciate it c:
This looks realy good! I love it
What a kickass mod, dude! It's so fleshed out and looks good! This must've taken a while to make!
thank you!! it took a bit more than a month just for this (i havent done the karts yet) but it was def worth it ^^
Amazing work!
Oh hey prof!
@@cryodual Oh, hi!
This is so awesome! Looking forward to the release!
omg this is so well made! Good job
As a certified Paper Toadette, I totally approve and support this project!
We need more Paper Characters in general, they are underappreciated.
Also, I know you have a long way to go before you master these flat models, but could you maybe explain how to handle these in Mario Kart Wii in some form of tutorial in the future? I tried that before and it was the burning hell. Anyway, I wanted to thank you so much for your custom character gifts to the community and wiiki!! I'm sure many people will enjoy them ;D
thank you for the kind words!! also for that tutorial, i might just do it but if you need help you can also always ask me for help personally ^^ im on vacation rn so i dont have files on me but id love to help in any way i can
I love paper toadette!!!! Shame shes only in ttyd tho
This is legit SO cool I need this!
Finally someone has made I mod for Paper Mario in Mario kart, I am so surprised Nintendo never added him in Mario kart tour ! Can't wait to someone mods Paper Mario in Smash Bros !
Paper Mario should be a racer in the next game.
Bro this mod is VERY well done.
The only argument I have is I wish the tricks used the Stylish sfx from TTYD instead of Origami King's.
Planning on changing that already!!
@@dutchmvp26 Aw yeah! 😎
This is so well made!!!
Still don’t know why this hasn’t become an official character yet
dont know either, this needs to happen in mario kart 9 man
We needed this
This is peak for the modding community in MKWii
This is freakin incredible!
This mod is so good he looks like an official character.
Nintendo has to add em to the next mario kart lol
I agree, it's 100% possible and playing as an expressive character like this is just fun in general as well imo
hay .. arent u da person dat added me from splatoon ?
@@fanta_ferret holly crap ur an actual person?-
@@greensnicksalt hay !!!
@@fanta_ferret hey lol
0:27 what a bonk
FR
To this day ... Every time the characters are doing a wheelie on a bike that isn't moving.... And the sounds they are making while doing so.... It sounds dirty :p
🥸🥸🥸
👍
I love this so much
Thank you!! I want to but im still working on trying to get mario to work on an actual wii, its not really going so well rn BUT IM TRYING ^^ I ported the color splash/origami king version of him though as well and that one should work on console!!
@@dutchmvp26 Neat :)
I look forward to seeing what you release next!
I need it for ctgp7 !!! I've always wanted Paper Mario in MK !! It looks awesome great job man !
It's almost perfect, I would replace the Sticker Trash sound effect with the Stylish sound effect while doing tricks
thank you!! and also agreed, was actually planning on doing that before i uploaded this video but i forgot LMAO, the sfx is from origami king which i spent hours trying to rip so i wanted to try and find at least one use for it...
Would’ve been sick if this was in tour
Agreed 😔
Remember guys if nintendo removes the video its canon
I'm surprised mario kart tour never tried adding paper mario.
Same tbh
Nice
i might be wrong but it looks like mario is slightly taller when viewed from the front than from the back (look closely at ~0:05)
hi
This is so cool!
woah that's really cool!
If we ever get a new MarioKart, we need Paper Mario as a character.
Agreed B)
I hope Paper Luigi gets added as a character in Mario kart 9
This is really cool.
As someone who suprisingly has NEVER played or modded Mario Kart Wii.. I think I need to have this mod.. And Mario Kart Wii..
Also I LOVE The Origami King stylish sound effects the DOPAMINE AAAAAAAA
it seems like you're the only one who loves it 😭 modern pm gets too much hate
@@dutchmvp26 It honestly does 😭TTYD had a marginally bigger impact on my life when I was really young and yet I still recognize Origami King as a fun as hell game that also had an impact on my life.
@@dutchmvp26 It is kinda funny that the Origami King Mario Mod has TTYD Sound effects and the TTYD one has Origami King sound effects LMFAO
@@christian0h ttyd was my first ever paper mario, but i loved every single paper mario with ttyd, color splash, origami king being my top 3
i even liked sticker star but the puzzles can get a bit annoying in that game for no reason bro 😭
@@christian0hmy origami king mario mod? i dont remember there being ttyd sound effects except for that one voice mod that was made for it
Mario Kart Wii: The Thousand Year Paper Jam
This almost makes up for Paper Mario not being added to Smash.
I tried adding him to brawl, i just couldnt get a custom moveset to work ;(
will there be a download once this is finished? cus this is actually sick
It looks Cool!
This looks great but I can't help but point out some things that stick out to me. One, some of the animations give him oddly short arms compared to what they were clearly trying to imitate from TTYD. The shading could use some work, but idk how much control you have over that I just don't think MKW's specular effect looks good on Paper Mario. Finally, during his victory animation one of his hands is on backwards (something I see commonly enough in fanmade animations & compositions that I always notice it right away).
thank you for noticing these things!!the short arms are something i was aware of, it's because i rigged the arm bones to the front and backside, so i didn't create separate bones for the backside arms because of the limitations for mkwii's bone structure (i had to paste the backside model to the frontside model).
If i tried to make the arms look good at the front in a certain animation, they'd look like a complete mess at the backside for some reason so i had to do my best to make it look as...normal as possible on both sides. it's definitely something i'm still going to work on trying to fix though!
as for the rest, i'll note these down as well ^^
Yo, this reminds me of that one time that we
fked
@@dutchmvp26 real
Great work! :3
Thank you!!! ^^ ♥️
The best Mario Kart character doesn't exis-
This is amazing
Very impressive mod. Probably the first one I've seen of this quality. Are you planning on publishing this on the Custom Mario Kart (Tockdom) Wiki?
Definitely!!
Ngl, that's a clever mod
please, PLEASE port it to mario kart 8, it look sooooo good compare to the one we got so far on it
there's a paper mario mod for mario kart 8?? WTFFF but anyways i really want to, but I'm a noob at modding that game tbh iirc i just made 1 simple model import 😭 if you know someone that's experienced and willing to help though let me know for sure ^^ it's an awesome idea
This makes me wonder.
Why HAVEN'T Paper variants of characters been included in Mario Kart and other spinoffs?
So far all we got is Paper Jam and that game did not need to exist.
i genuinely have no idea atp bc its definitely possible, also is paper jam that bad? havent finished it yet but the combat is imo the best part ab the game
@@dutchmvp26 im about 20ish hours into the game. it is the least good mario and luigi game, the plot is so nothing that it might as well be noncanon, and the game is really making me hate starlow
now make a mario and luigi rpg mario with the 'excellent!" as his trick sound
I need to finish a game in the series first, thinking of starting with bowsers inside story
@@dutchmvp26 indeed a classic
@@dutchmvp26Ok! 👍
What about also Modding Wii Party like you did on your old Wii Sports Mod?
This feels inevitable in a real game
This is amazing but just a funny idea but i think its also a good idea since hes paper maybe when hes driving he could be flopping in the wind when he hits a booster (just an idea lol i know it might be alot of work so)
I did a previous paper mario mod where i used sprites from the origami king, i incorporated your idea in that mod (although i didnt showcase it on yt its somewhere on my twitter) but I didn't in this mod because I wanted to stay true to how the model from ttyd wasn't handled like actual literal paper unlike the modern entries ^^
but I might consider it honestly, thank u!!
@@dutchmvp26 Pretty sure Paper Mario does react to wind when in Paper mode in the og game(it's more noticeable when moving, but it is apparent even when standing still in paper mode or just jumping)
@@nicolasn12Yeah you're right about that, but since he isn't in paper mode in this case i thought it wouldn't make sense
@@dutchmvp26 indeed
Imagine Nintendo putting Paper Mario in Mario Kart 9
Stylish!
I subscribed to know when this is done! I hope you get it working because the original mod is "questionable" Please make luigi next please!!
original mod? also i hope so too!! and ill consider it after i get mario working somehow LMAO ^^
@@dutchmvp26btw idk why but paper road doesn’t work for me. I’m using dolphin so that might be it
Good work 👍🏽👍🏽
I NEED THIS
Only the picture on the minimap...
Then you can in the near future: Paper Mario TTYD Remake on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Will consider it in the future!! I need to learn how mk8 dx character imports works first though
Nintendo has to replace the baby characters with paper characters
Except paper daisy and rosalina don't exist so it'd be only Mario, Luigi, and Peach
Someone else here said a similar thing and i still 100% agree with that idea
it should be paper luigi
but still this is peak
would want that, but luigi's not a playable character so he barely has any textures for the pieces 😔
Can you get Paper Bowser to fight Sir Grodus in the Palace of Shadow?
Put the Super Mario Kart sprites in. That'd look funny too
I wish this was real
Me too ;(
Paper mario, metal paper mario, gold paper mario, baby paper mario…
baby paper mario nah bro 😭
I’d rather see Mario’s actual front face not the origami king front face
They added that face to the remake of ttyd
yeah, tbh i dont rlly mind it but it's still weird to me why they decided to make that change
@@diddly_dude i mean his gamecube front face not the origami king face
Hey, for some reason the paper toad is not working. Could you possibly help me (I’m using dolphin)
paper toad?
Baby Mario ❌
Paper Mario ✅
