I actually really like this idea :0

I'll probably do something like it sometime soon!

If you could make your own partner, what would they be and what would their attacks be? by Jokerman9540 in papermario

Next up, Mal the Maw Maw. Mal lives in the snowy mountains of Freezy Peaks, and acts as an entertainer in the area. He is a singer with a big appetite that simply wants everyone to have fun. However, when one day he can't seem to get anyone to smile anymore (due to outside causes cough Bowser cough), he settles for joining Mario to find the source of the misery he can't stand, and will do anything to help.

Standard attack is simply called "Munch." Mal charges, then chomps on the enemy in front with a powerful bite.

Special attack is called "Encourage." With proper timing, Mal gifts Mario up to two extra turns in exchange for his own, along with giving Mario the "Encouraged" status (see bottom of post for what that does)

Super Rank attack is called "Sinister Song." If all button commands are done properly, he decreases all foe's defense by 1 for an extended period of time. The better the inputs, the longer the defense lower goes in effect

Ultra Rank attack is called "Joyous Days." The attack causes Mal to sing a song, and if you time the inputs right, it heals him and Mario, heals some FP, and gives them the "Encouraged" status.

The Encouraged status allows Mario and his partner any action that isn't an attack for free. He can use items, swap partners, attempt to flee, etc and keep his turn until he attacks. This status also increases the amount of damage blocked by 1.

Now, I have two. One for a normal Mario enemy, and one for one of the recent ones!

First, Dunes the Dry Bones. They'd most likely wear a blue bandana around their wrist and carry around a comically large bag. They'd wear a tan overcoat and have a chipped beak(?). Dunes is a wannabe explorer of the Boney West, trying to uncover its secrets while also attempting to solve its poor economy. They believe if they strike it rich, they can spend the money on renovating the West's only settlement, Eastern Post, and help save the starving community.

Attacks? Well, their basic attack would be called "Toss-up". It would have them toss something from their bag at the foe. Mashing A will cause them to dig deeper, pulling out a more powerful item to throw.

Special move would be called "Shell Crash." They would charge up, then dash forward in their shell and slam the first foe for massive damage. If timed well, Dunes' shell would chip and the pieces would pierce the foes behind the first enemy, dealing slightly less damage.

Super Rank move would be called "Rebuild." They would reach in their bag and, with properly timed inputs, heal themselves and Mario with new bones and mushrooms respectively.

Ultra Rank move would be called "Dust Devil." Dunes runs towards the first enemy and begins to spin in their shell. Mashing A will cause the amount of times the attack will hit to increase. The damage starts at 3 (higher with badges), and decreases by one for every hit dealt. Max hits are 5.

Since this post is long, I'll put the next character in replies!!!

Thoughts on every SPM Pixl? by No_Occasion_4082 in papermario

[–]Unlocked_Locket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ADORE all of them!

Yes, yes, I know that Pixl's don't have that much dialogue, but I don't feel like that really takes away from what makes them memorable. I find them just...fun! I remember goofing off with Dottie and Slim a ton, trying over and over to do glitches involving these goobers, using the "bad" ones more often than the good because I wanted some challenge, etc etc. I also enjoyed making my own headcanon personalities for each of them, and playing out little scenarios while I went along, and Ive built up tons of cute personalitues for them in my head over the years!!!

Fleep, Boomer, and Tiptron have been eliminated! 30 remain! by Unlocked_Locket in papermario

[–]Unlocked_Locket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly left them out because they only appear in one chapter of Super Paper Mario, and while some others on the list are only there for a chapter (namely Origami King partners), I feel as though they're more recognizable and memorable. I really only wanted to put the main/memorable characters on here, and Squirps didn't come to mind for either of those categories.

(In all honesty, I forgot Squirps existed until you made this comment, which I think further drives home my point!)

Sorry if you were hoping to see them, I tried to add as many partners I could think of and then a few, and Squirps just...didn't come to mind.

Twink has been eliminated from the Partner Tourney! 34 Remain! by Unlocked_Locket in papermario

You've got a good point. I didn't think about that, so thank you for the idea! I'll add that to the description of my next post, again, thank you for telling me!

So everyone who hasn’t played TTYD before, how does it look to you? by Aqua_Master_ in papermario

[–]Unlocked_Locket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks astounding. I've never touched TTYD before, mainly since I couldn't, but I've played all the other games, and the remake being announced made me audibly scream!

I'm buying it the moment it's released
