Seems like this would solve a lot of issues in the game

>>385671940
9/10.
The only reason he has one point off is because he looks like a sticker.

I already typed all this shit down. Tried to avoid cliches like Koopas or Goombas as much as I could.
>First partner's a gangster Shy Guy that's only working with you out of fear of getting caught by the cops, instead of tattling he rats out other enemies
>Second partner is a former Dayzee musician who puts enemies to sleep and can get you past Thwomps and blocked pathways
>Third partner is a Chuckya who isn't really comfortable doing what he's doing, because he's enslaving the inhabitants of an island. He can throw Mario to higher ground
>Fourth partner is a Dry Bones named Deaf who thinks he's the Grim Reaper, but he isn't, yet nobody can tell him because he's deaf. He can fit his head under narrow passageways to press switches for Mario
>Fifth partner is a Snow Pokey that can launch it's segmented body parts to hit switches, and only wants to adventure outside of the ice caps for once
>Sixth partner is a Bully who's naturally immune to the radiation affects, he rushes at doors to break them open like a Bob-Omb would do to explode them
>Seventh partner is a Bzzap! that can fly Mario across long gaps, while also having a fear of heights, flies, and oxygen in general
>Eighth partner is the Koopatrol who was the tutorial boss, sad that Bowser won't notice him at all, he joins you. He hides Mario by throwing a cardboard box over him.
>Final partner is an amnesiac female Toad who appears multiple times in the game, sometimes tossing you items or disguising as enemies. She can hide Mario to help him get through the castle, but it has a recharge time and it's temporary. It turns out she's actually a Duplighost in the credits.
>Optional partners include a Torpedo Ted that's a war-veteran with PTSD that can go through water, a Magikoopa gamedev that can turn blocks into items, and a secret one that's actually just Luigi poorly disguised as a Goomba so he can adventure with Mario on these crazy Paper journeys for once

MacShyver
A Shy Guy that's really good with tools and improvisation. They're a bit bashful starting out, but learn to open up more as the story goes on.

Can be used in the field to repair certain objects.

Combat abilities include
+Bashful Bash (runs into the enemy headfirst)
+ Improvise (Builds a wall out of scrap, blocking 1 attack)
+Masked Bandit (Steals an item from an enemy and deals damage)
+Makeshift Spear (Makes a spear out of scrap metal, modifying his next attack. Bash becomes a charging attack that hits all enemies on the ground and Bandit makes him throw the spear)

How would /v/ feel if a future Paper mario game with rpg elements akin to the first two games reused some of the past partners from the first two games for part of your party. They'd return with and their character would be further developed. Who would you want it to be?

>Chapter 2
A Fuzzy who is also a chef, he likes to suck people's blood but with class

>Chapter 3
A shy guy who isn't actually shy, he's actually a very big outrovert

>Chapter 4
Another sexy ghost

>Chapter 5
A chain chomp who is a total bro

>Chapter 6
A fight-crazed buzzy beetle who's super violent

>Chapter 7
A Magikoopa who can hide you like vivian

A Whakka with a spiked helmet and a grudge

>Plot's about Bowser finding an ancient treasure, getting possessed by an ancient king named "Spectro", and taking over most of the Mushroom Kingdom strategically, yet also agreeing to a peace treaty with Peach and the Toads for the time being
>First Chapter's about Mario going to a city that has grassland aspects and newspapers hanging from vines, the boss of it is a Spike mob boss who went from weak to powerful thanks to Spectro
>Second chapter's about stopping the horrendous music in a desert that has multiple musical instruments strewn about and clocktowers (perhaps call it Ding Dong Desert), the boss is a Whomp that has a group of Koopas following him around, with them putting a cymbal on his back to prevent him from being defeated
>Third chapter's an island with a circus in it where the inhabitants are forced into slavery to do multiple performances, it's like the Glitz Pit in a way, the boss is a Ringleader Broozer with a Mega Mole on a unicycle, a Magician Magikoopa, and a Juggler Spike helping him out
>Fourth chapter's about going into a Mausoleum to stop a cult of Shy Guys that's abducting people to sacrifice them to a three dimensional being that can revive the dead, the boss is a Paper Mache Boo that can possess things like Pianos to attack you with
>Fifth Chapter's a volcano in the middle of an ice cap, with the possibility that, if whatever is inside is not stopped, the entire world will be depleted of it's water. The boss is a gigantic Piranha Plant that has ice and fire powers, and is only pissed off and caused damage because it has heartburn
>Sixth chapter's an irradiated amusement park in a wasteland, with multiple enemies in it being stronger versions of earlier enemies. The boss is a Snifit that wants to exterminate the populace with a mech, regardless of whether they're good or not.
Continued soon.

>>385680208
>Seventh chapter's a cloudy area where temporal disruptions occur, causing things like Mario turning 8-Bit for a few screens, the boss is an army of Goombas forming a giant Toad made out of Goombas
>Eighth chapter's about Bowser beginning to resurface on Spectro, and capturing Peach with his increased power. After you beat him, it turns out this was part of Spectro's plan, as he saw that Peach was an easier host to handle, and that Bowser would submit to her as long as they got married.
>Final chapter's about stopping the wedding between a Spectro-possessed Peach (Who's wearing clothes that look like something a Shy Guy would wear) and Bowser. The enemies are both Toads and Koopatrols, and there are only three save points. The boss has three phases, starting off with Spectro possessing Peach, Spectro possessing you and fighting you on the inside in a form that's similar to you(with you being unable to use Partners during it), and the final phase being Spectro taking the form of a paper mache Silverfish with the mask on top to kill you
>Optional bosses are a Mario fanboy who doesn't think you're the real deal and challenges you with knock offs of your partners, which is how you get Luigi, and the finale of the Circus after Chapter 8, you fighting a Whackya that's wearing a helmet that gives it immense strength and numerous powers

I was thinking there could be a bar in Chapter 8 where villains like Wart, Tatanga, and Foreman Spike hang out, and the only reason they don't fight you is because they're all scared senseless of you because of what you did to them before in previous games. Maybe you'd heal there.

Nass T. - A disgruntled Toad who's just along for Mario's adventure because Bowser fucked up his house. Fights by aiming for soft bits and using stuff he picks off the ground to hit enemies.

People tend to meme about the problem of doing a PM fangame being the inevitable C&D.

But honestly, I think the worst part is that most faggots on /v/ don't have the livelihood to make such a game.
Like, it's either underage faggots that don't know what they're doing and couldn't make a game,
or it's amateur game dev faggots that are likely poor as fuck and can't spend time making a project they wouldn't be able to be public about for like years of development.

The problem is that PM is way too much to do well for some random faggot.

>>385685628

>Goombella, Bow, Kooper, Yoshi, Parakarry
Goombella and Bow are bestgirls, and especially Goombella as a lot of upward room to develop.
Bow is just an immortal lady with literally infinite free time, and thus really has no reason to not hang around Mario for adventures.
Kooper and Yoshi would both be interesting to see how their careers developed. I want to see an adult Yoshi, literally raised in pit fights and constant violence. He'd be a fucking monster. Kooper has less wow-potential, but of the original members, he seemed to have the most going for him.

Parakarry is just because I'm a Parakarryfag.

Oh, I misread chapter as "character". Never mind.

>>385689918
I remember I actually did a pit run in chapter 1 or 2 once. Shit was hard.

>>385690389
Try a Prologue pit run. Use cheats to enter it right before you leave for Chapter 1.

If they give Mario another Goomba partner 1st...

I would design as a more tech nerdy kind of Goomba who wears visor-like glasses with a screen built in. He intends to make a search engine for the world to use for information and hits the road with Mario to gather info. His name is Goombaxter.

His shtick is basically like spending the game with the crows from Twilight Town, spouting stuff the other characters don't understand to slip jokes in. He meets Mario after stealing info on every foe he'll encounter from the antagonist, but it's encrypted and it gets deciphered a bit each Chapter.

His Tattle would be scanning the enemy with his visor and you'd have to hold A as the scan line goes over the enemy. Each area's Tattles would have something in common, like being in Haiku Poems in a Japanese area or ALL CAPS ROBOT TEXT in a technological area.

His other two moves could be tech based, with one being a laser beam from his glasses and the other being using a highly idealized robot version of himself to attack the enemy.

>we'll never have a menagerie of QT partners ever again

A ninji that has the ability to mirror image itself into any enemy (minor) in the game during battle. Because it takes so much concentration to copy enemies the ninji is basically a blank slate and doesn't have much of a personality.

Its ability outside of battle is to shadow Mario (Activate by holding a trigger button) and whenever you succeed at a first strike the ninji will perform a second hit as Mario. But if you get hit first both Mario and ninji take damage.

You know what would be cool? If they gave Mario a Galoomba as a first partner instead of a Goomba. Made them more tough and leave the tattling to some constant character like Tippi. I'd say make him wear sunglasses to reference the easter egg from Mario World Advance and make him act like a bodyguard to Mario, since I'd imagine having a bodyguard be a party member would be a pretty neat dynamic. Make him ram an enemy with his head like the hammer instead of Headbonking like the jump.

Also, give him a sensitive side and make him want toshow the world that there's differences between Goombas and Galoombas so people will stop confusing them. Maybe have nobody acknowledge his message for comic relief.

I'm sorry anon, that's actually hot as fuck. Saved for... future study.

>>385672797
>Koopatrol who was the tutorial boss
Honestly, fighting a Koopatrol before Chapter 1 is the part of all this that intrigues me the most. He'd deal nearly half your HP at a time and kill you in one hit when he's fully charged. Your hammer wouldn't even pierce his defense. You wouldn't have Spike Shield. Your only real option would be to use a POW but don't those guys flip over in like one turn? If you slipped up even once in that fight you'd be fucking dead.

>>385693691
Again, he's a wannabe Koopatrol who wears cardboard and plastic armor and wants to be part of Bowser's elite, yet will never be, so he tries to beat Mario at the tutorial to prove himself.

>>385693691
Maybe anon meant to make him weaker than normal Koopatrols so he's balanced as a party member, or maybe pull a Mario RPG with the Hammer Bros boss at the beginning of the game.

Oh shit I thought it was supposed to be a "cool" name by cutting Koopa and adding an S.

>>385694861
that could totes be it, too

Seriously though pre-Chapter 1 Koopatrol fight when? Would you have to grind for POW block money? Would there even be a shop that sells them that early? Would you have to go looking for some hidden block Thunder Bolt/Shooting Star or something? What would you get for winning? I'm fascinated

Some sorta punk rock female Squeek who wants to be a famous musician but isn't really the greatest guitarist. She joins Mario due to the fact that it'll give her a reason to spread her "music"

Maybe you get quake hammer as your first badge instead of Power Jump or Power Hammer.
Or let the goomba take one for the team by headbonking the spiked mofo.

>>385695039
You could just Power Smash and have your partner feed you mushrooms/syrups.

Oh, that's true, I forgot how early you got Power Smash in TTYD. If you got Power Jump instead like PM you'd be straight fucked though

>>385695915
Well, in TTYD you can buy Power Jump right after getting Power Smash, too. You'd have to make absolutely sure that the player would have no way of dealing damage with regular or badge attacks.

damn that's good. hey, were you the guy who drew this in a color splash thread, back when it was revealed in a Nintendo Direct or something?

Toapa
A koopa who is a were-toad. Or maybe he's a toad whose a were-koopa?
Has a split personality, normal text is black but uses blue text for the alternate personality (Koad). Toapa is helpful and timid, but dreadfully stupid. You befriend him by helping him open a door you pull open, instead of push. Koad talks mostly in battle through the mini speech bubbles and mostly makes snide remarks at enemies. Otherwise serves as Toapa's spine, putting on a pair of sunglasses when he's the dominate one talking.
Looks like a koopa with a toad mushroom pattern on his shell, and a toad hat with a koopa shell pattern. Koad wears triangle sunglasses.
Outside of battle can be used to scare enemies to keep away, or clear NPC blockades.
In battle has a high defense and low damage at 50%+ HP, and high damage and low defense below 50%. Can hit an enemy hard enough to knock them into the one behind it. Second is a buff that gives mario more defense or attack, based on whose active. Final ability heals Mario and scare enemies.

No matter how many times I try, I literally cannot ever see Vivian's and Marilyn's pink dots as cheeks instead of eyes. Anyone else experience this?

shieet, I just got through Pro Mode hack. Dojo Master v2 and Maximum-Power Bowser where the best fights.

How many of all you are aware that this is a thing.Mario RPG: Pipes & Plumbers
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Super_Mario_RPG

It's a Paper Mario tabletop game the brainiacs over in /tg/ cooked up recently. It's pretty rules-light, and if nothing else, offers framework into how to effectivly design a Paper Mario character.

Some additional stuff from the thread.

None of them have eyes on the sides of their heads, only above their mouths. All of them have black pupils or pupils with a black outline, even Ms. Mowz with her mask. All of them have ovals aligned vertically for pupils. Multiple characters have solid-colored pink horizontal ovals on the sides of their heads (a blush). Vivian has a big tuft of hair in front of her eyes. Gauging from the eye placement of the other characters, they would be in the area the hair covers. There is no good reason to assume that's her eye at all, especially not when you're that far into the game and have been exposed to so many designs-- consistency (and common sense) informs viewers that, duh, it's obviously not her eye.

>>385700448
Yeah I still can't see those dots as anything else but eyes. Maybe because I played this game so much when I was a kid and I had that mindset it's so difficult to condition.

File: smb2_phanto_w3-3.png (1KB, 256x240px) Image search: [Google]

1KB, 256x240px

A Phanto that was supposed to be guarding the key that protects the game's big macguffin. He gets tricked into thinking Mario has it, fights him, then joins you on your quest once he finds out he was tricked.

His ability is that Mario can wear him as a mask and see hidden objects.

He's a terrible troll, terrible in that he's simple minded and makes bad (but nintendo-friendly) insults. In true Paper Mario fashion, one character will take a potshot at the internet and make a joke about his insults being bait.

>>385672797

Swoopula, a swooper who thinks he is a vampire. He is weak but can give Mario HP by sucking it from other enemies. His other main attack is a stat buff similar to Watt and Sushi but instead gives mario a 25% chance to evade attacks for several turns similar to lucky day badge

>>385703221
>His ability is that Mario can wear him as a mask and see hidden objects.
That's a terrible ability, why would you want that? The levels will be full of dumb invisible things that have no reason other than to justify the ability. Players will walk around every area toggling the mask looking for invisible shit. When they see something invisible with the mask-- that's just it. There's no puzzle solving at all. It's not interesting or fun. The earlier the player gets the partner, the more pointless it is to put invisible things in later areas since players will be wearing the mask 24/7 after they get it. The later the player gets the partner, the more grating backtracking to look for previous hidden things is.

I mean, fuck, you don't have to be an vidya essay reader to see why it would be a bad addition.

inb4, "But Zelda did it." It's not a good item in Zelda either. It's effectively just another key and it has one function. Mario partners are largely lock and key, the worst example being Yoshi, Parakerry, Sushi, and Lakilester (whose "puzzles" involve recognizing when an area obviously requires their specialized yet boring mode of travel, and doing it), but the more interesting ones have some nuance in their function, like Bombette having a timer on her detonation, making it so it requires precise timing to hit overworld enemies with it and introduces some puzzles that demand timed remote hitting of switches.

Don't insult the player, man.

>>385704129
The area are already full of hidden objects in both Paper Mario and TTYD, as long as they don't make it required for puzzle solving after like the first dungeon you get him at just to show you how it works I don't see the harm.

>>385704216
>I don't see the harm.
You're encourage players to swap out for the mask and check for shit constantly. This does not add anything. At all. In fact it removes something: The point of a hidden object being hidden. There's no secret or guesswork, just slap on the mask and oh there it is. It also wastes the players' time when they put it on and see nothing. There's something a bit more pressing here, though

>as long as they don't make it required for puzzle solving after like the first dungeon you get him at just to show you how it works
This is already fucked up. If you require it for progress, solving a puzzle, then a trend is established. The player will constantly be looking out for hidden blocks when they get stuck since it's a pattern that hidden blocks lead to progressing. If you want players to know it's completely optional, never force it at all.

Go back to the drawing boards and come back with something not objectively bad for the game.

Why is this thread so autistic. Help.

I know this is not the right thread to talk about it, but I just can't help but just point out how nicely Tubba Blubba and Grubba contrast with each other, despite both being of the same species.
-Tubba is an anti villain, using powers he gained in order to retaliate against the boos of who haunted him; where as Grubba is an outright villain, gaining more power simply because he wants to keep his youth and be powerful.
-Tubba works for Bowser, the game's main villain; where as Grubba works independently.
-Tubba already has a reputation of being feared, where as Grubba remains innocuous until later on through the chapter.
-Tubba is more like a puppet to the power he was granted (his heart) where as Grubba is the one in control of his power.
-Leading from the past point, it shows in there boss fight where after dealing with his power (hell the boss fight is more on so fighting his powers, his heart) Tubba's helpless; where as for Grubba you have to fight him as he's in complete control of his powers.
-You have to run away from Tubba, where as for Grubba you have to pursue him.
