Me who beat both Kent C Koopa and Lava Piranha without ever noticing their weak points: - Oh... So this is why they were so stupidly hard compared to anything else...
What I especially appreciate Paper Mario for is that Bowser isn't demoted to play second fiddle to another boss. Bowser is THE boss and having another boss demote him to either a penultimate boss or ally just diminishes him greatly.
I would say my favorite fight is the Crystal King. I liked his design and his boss theme, and overall I just thought chapter 7 was the best because of the "murder" mystery at the beginning and the frozen theme. And once you get to the Crystal Palace, that eerie feeling from the music and puzzles and whatnot leading up to him just makes the fight seem more intense. Tubba Blubba would be a close second because the part where he chases you gives me anxiety every single time 😂 even though he is easy to outrun. And the heart, imo, is the first boss that can be slightly challenging. Gotta say, though...everyone talks about Huff N. Puff is difficult, and I never understood why. The only time I ever got a game over with him is by trying to do a low level playthrough. I honestly found Lava Piranha more difficult.
Really enjoyed the list Opal, always good to watch Paper Mario content. Though, if you do plan on doing more lists like this, would you extend some of them into Thousand Year Door? For example, I feel like if you did a partners ranking going over both the games partner lists would be interesting to see, especially to note the differences between how both games handle them.
8:00 I’m playing Mario and Luigi Partners in Time currently and they do this quite often. Many bosses have you interact with other things in the battle to affect them.
My ranking of the Chapter bosses would be: 9-Goomba King 8-Tutan Koopa 7-Huff N Puff 6-General Guy 5-Koopa Bros. 4-Lava Piranha 3-Tubba Blubba 2-Crystal King 1-Bowser
I KNEW there was problem with the Lava Piranha fight on Switch. I thought it was just me but I couldn’t figure out why I was struggling with the timing despite playing this game dozens of times. Makes sense!
That was a really nice top As a mostly dedicated to Paper Mario channel I quite agree with most of it and the reasons are really good too. Since you say this is your favorite game of all time, are you even in the Paper Mario Modding Server? (Formerly known as Star Rod) There are many and I mean Many mods to try, some just change a bit of gameplay, some have the same gameplay but a different story, new mechanics, there's a ton of stuff I believe someone like you would enjoy and there's a good amount of mods that you could play/stream/review for weeks and months even.
I beat anti guy when i first met him. I had the badge that gave a 30% miss chance when in danger, and the other with a general 10%. Dont remember the names. But yea. Game favored me HARD that fight. He missed like 4 times in a row 💀
It's kind of hard to tell how much gameplay matters or doesn't on these rankings, it seems like it's mostly characterization. My man Huff N. Puff still got a good ranking anyway,
For me, the Jr. Troopa fights would all be dead last at the bottom of the list. The first fight and the spiked flying form fight would be the top two of this bottom tier. He wasn't funny the first time, having him come back once or even twice could at least abstractly resemble a joke, and he undercuts/undermines a lot of things that would have legitimately been fun or atmospheric from there on out. Anyone who thinks he was consistently funny has bad taste in comedy.
I do legitimately like the one where he loses half his health swimming to Lavalava and back. I think if it had been constrained to the first one, probably one during chapter 1, the Lavalava one, and maybe add an optional one you could add in to Shy Guy's Toybox via the questions it would be better. But eh
I mean I kinda wished the last one was handled better, but, other than that I don't mind the fights. Can't really say I care much for him as a character, but I like kicking his face in.
19:28 yo, Stryder7x love! Wishing them well, wherever they are
i love the stryder7x refrence you did at the antiguy segment. Cant have one paper mario video without even a mention of him
also, you think i wouldnt notice? you used the japaneese version of the final battle at the end. And This version of the theme is way batter

There is anouther instince of fighting a future party member in the Paper Mario series: Luigi/Mr. L from Super Paper Mario
I finally caught the Kent C. Koopa Easter egg you put in there.
9- Goomba King

7- Tubba Blubba's Heart
6- Huff N Puff
5- Final Bowser
4- Lava Piranha
3- General Guy
2- Koopa Bros

Too bad they dont make this kind of game anymore
Bug fables
@@jarrellfamily1422 I have it
@@rockowlgamer631 great 👍
i think they are trying to bring it back in
TTYD Remake: “hello there”
There is another fight against a future party member in the Paper Mario series. You fight Bowser before he joins your party in Super.

Fun fact:you can fight the third jr troopa fight as soon as you unlock lady bow as your partner
I'm so glad you ranked General Guy as high as you did. Biggest difficulty spike in the game IMO

Can't argue with your number 1. It's a legitimately cool final boss fight.
My favorite boss in the game is anti guy. I don’t know why, but I just like how surprising he is when he attacks you for the first time.
Great content keep up good work😊
Actually, there’s a simple explanation for why the Big Lantern Ghost is in Shy Guy’s Toy Box.
Lantern Ghosts are a variant of Shy Guy.
My ranking of the Chapter bosses would be:
9-Goomba King
8-Tutan Koopa
7-Huff N Puff
6-General Guy
5-Koopa Bros.
4-Lava Piranha
3-Tubba Blubba
2-Crystal King
1-Bowser
"Wouldn't base a TH-cam channel around Anti Guy."
You don't mean Stryder7x, did you?
Hey Teal hope you reach the monetization marker before I do you deserve it more. Keep up the good work
Thanks lol. I already have well over the 4k hours of watch time so I just need to hit 1k subs now. I hope you reach it soon as well!
@Opal Reviews Everything well its been 3 years since I began an I only have 180 subs, I don't mind I'm doing youtube to make friends and play games
I hope so too.
On my playthrough super blooper was guarding shrink stomp since I beat electro and small first because I was a idiot and couldn’t see the pipe

now rank the master quest versions
good video
Paper versions of games are always awesome for some reason

more paper mario would be sick
Good video! Also why is general shy guys light blub so bright? Is that a result of nintendo rerelese?
Thank GOD they brought this back on the switch online. Was worried nintendo had forgotten about it.
100% agreed. Made recordint footage for this video easy as well.
But, you don't own the game on switch online.
This helped me actually play it for the first time after only ever playing (and beating) SPM, now i’m a big fan of the series!
19:27 are you jabbing at stryder7x?
I Hope Paper Mario 64 is second!
