Character Sheet: Shy Guy (Paper Mario+)

SHY GUY

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Shy Guys, as you'd expect, feature throughout all of these games, as usual being jacks-of-all-trades, with all sorts of moves to their name. Their most notable appearances are in the first Paper Mario, where they act as the main villains of a chapter, lording over an enchanted toy box and led by their leader General Guy. Their variants here include flaming Pyro Guys, floating Sky Guys, camouflages Spy Guys, Spear Guys and Snifits, and potion-carrying Medi-Guys. In Color Splash, they take on a slightly more sinister role, as they are directly responsible for draining the color from the world, and are frequently encountered carrying around buckets of paint they stole and with straws used for doing the dirty deed.

Here is their current moveset:

Standard B: Snifit
Staying the same.

Side B: Mace
Staying the same.

Up B: Fly Guy OR Pogo Stick
Staying the same. Both still appear frequently, so can't quite decide between them.

Down B: Spear and Shield
Also appears frequently, so staying the same.

Final Smash: Pirate Ship
Although could be switched out for General Guy's tank, but the Pirate Ship is still pretty frequently shown off.

Entrance: Drifts to the ground via parasol.

Taunts: A number of their appearances playing around in the background of various games offers up a number of possibilities.

Next up: Let's cover the Bandit enemy!

Character Sheet: Kamek (Paper Mario+)

KAMEK

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Bowser's advisor Kamek. He primarily appears in these games in Super Mario RPG (though not statedly as Kamek himself, but as a generic Magikoopa who plays a rather large role, so my headcanon is that he's THE Kamek), and in Sticker Star, where he plays a significant role in the plot. His role as Bowser's advisor is taken up in the first two Paper games by a new character named Kammy Koopa, who we will be dealing with shortly. Outside of that, there are a number of Magikoopa types in the games, most of which cast different types of spells boosting their fellow enemies' health, attack, defense, and so on.

Here's the moveset:

Standard B: Magic Spell

Side B: Broomstick

Up B: Teleport

Down B: Hammer
(Or it could be a Stat Boost move)

Final Smash: Boss Battle

Entrance: Swoop in on his broom and do his little chuckle.

Taunts: Hold up his wand and wave it around for a second, is a good one. His chuckle, as mentioned before. Maybe cast a little magic and surprise himself.

Next up: Let's go over the Shy Guys!

Character Sheet: Yoshi (Paper Mario+)

YOSHI

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's talk about Yoshi. Now, there's not really much to talk about, not for lack of representation, but more simply because everything in that representation is all pretty basic Yoshi stuff. The Yoshis appear in nearly every game in the series in some capacity, most of the time (Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, Sticker Star and Color Splash) their appearances are basically as alternative NPCs in one section of the game, while in Thousand-Year Door, you get a juvenile Yoshi as a companion, and all of his moves are your basic Yoshi fluff. He eats an enemy, he flutter jumps and ground pounds, he throws eggs, and he calls in a stampede. All cool, but nothing we haven't covered before.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Egg Lay

Side B: Egg Shot

Up B: Helicopter

Down B: Ground Pound

Final Smash: Yoshi Herd

Entrance: He hatches from an egg.

Taunts: That cute little dance he does when he completes a level would be a pretty good one. Honestly, a lot of his cute movements and behaviors would work. The same goes for his new games. Cute is definitely a good descriptor here.

Next up: Let's cover his nemesis Kamek!

Tuesday, July 28, 2020

Character Sheet: Petey Piranha (Paper Mario+)

PETEY PIRANHA

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Petey Piranha, who showed up in both Sticker Star and Color Splash as a boss (technically in Color Splash, it was Petea Piranha, but you know). In those games, he could bite you, spin around really fast, fly, and butt bash. Pretty basic Petey stuff.

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Piranhabon

Side B: Tornado

Up B: Fly

Down B: Divebomb

Final Smash: Emissary Cage Match

Entrance: He will wake up from a nap.

Taunts: His roar, maybe with a bit of a stunning effect. His belly button poking out and his rolling over on the floor. Napping, maybe.

Next up: Let's cover Yoshi!

Monday, July 27, 2020

Character Sheet: Birdo (Paper Mario+)

BIRDO

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Oh, Birdo, you strange little creature, you. Birdo appears in Super Mario RPG, Sticker Star, and Color Splash, each time in an increasingly out-of-nowhere cameo appearance. (The trend appears to continue in Origami King). Super Mario RPG is reasonably tied to the plot, as she hatches from an egg Valentina was using as part of her evil scheme, but she doesn't really do a lot during the fight outside of shooting eggs at you. Later in Sticker Star and Color Splash, she puts on a sudden performance at one point and that's about it. I don't know what else there is to say, really.

Here is her moveset:

Standard B: Egg

Side B: Egg Hop

Up B: Pidgit

Down B: Blow a Kiss

Final Smash: Eagle Gate
The gate Birdo stands before will fly into the background, before opening its mouth wide and rushing the stage, swallowing up any enemy caught in its mouth.

Entrance: She will descend on the small platform she appears on in Sticker Star and Color Splash.

Taunts: Maybe her tendency to pace back and forth, also blowing a kiss, doing her whole cabaret musical performance thing.

Next up: Let's cover Petey Piranha, or Petea Piranha, I guess!

Saturday, July 25, 2020

Character Sheet: Chain Chomp (Paper Mario+)

CHAIN CHOMP

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today let's talk about Chain Chomps. They appear frequently throughout the series, mostly acting much as they normally do. This round of games heavily leaned into the whole "Chomps are dogs" thing, with most portrayals of them being the pet or guard dog of various characters, including Tutankoopa, the Toad professor from Color Splash, and even having a Cerberus-style version guarding the gates of the Underwhere in Super Paper Mario.

Let's see what we can do:

Standard B: Lunge

Side B: Chomp Rock

Up B: Incoming Chomp

Down B: Earthquake

Final Smash: Chomp Shark

Entrance: It appears stuck to a peg in the ground. The peg will disappear into the ground three segments at a time, at which point the Chomp will break free.

Taunts: Bouncing around and biting the way he does. The famous barking sound.

Thanks for reading! Next up let's cover the series' most random character, Birdo!

Friday, July 24, 2020

Character Sheet: Wiggler (Paper Mario+)

WIGGLER

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Wiggler. Wiggler appears throughout the series, but its most prominent role is probably in Sticker Star, wherein a friendly Wiggler is split into separate segments by Kamek, leading Mario to spend a lot of time tracking down each piece and returning them to the head so that he can be put back together. After you have done so, he undergoes metamorphosis and becomes a Flying Wiggler who can carry you to a new area.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Panel

Side B: Charge

Up B: Flutter

Down B: Earthquake
This move is now more based on the move seen frequently throughout the RPGs, where the Wiggler will slam up and down on the ground sending out shockwaves.

Final Smash: Mechawiggler

Entrance: waking up from sleep.

Taunts: Bouncing a ball on his nose, rolling his body segments here and there.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover the Chain Chomps.

Thursday, July 23, 2020

Character Sheet: Hammer Bro (Paper Mario+)

HAMMER BRO

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Not much to say for this one really. Hammer Bros and their alts appear in pretty much every game here, but are pretty basic. One interesting note though is that they tend to use thick wooden hammers instead of the smaller black ones we're used to seeing.

Here is the moveset so far:

Standard B: Hammer Toss

Side B: Boomerang

Up B: Sledge Jump

Down B: Sumo Stomp

Final Smash: Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro

Entrance: Floats down on its platform

Taunts: Jumping around and tossing a single hammer would fit maybe. Maybe something reflecting how hyper they are in Odyssey.

Next up: Let's cover the Wiggler enemies.

Wednesday, July 22, 2020

Character Sheet: Monty Mole (Paper Mario+)

MONTY MOLE

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

This one's pretty basic. Monty Moles appear across the games, most especially in the first two Paper Mario games, but act as pretty basic Monty Mole enemies. The only really stand-out to their appearances is throwing rocks as a move. That's pretty much it.

Here's their moveset:

Standard B: Rocky Wrench
Traded out for the Bob-Omb, since a certain pair of characters have made that kinda awkward. (Now a trio, from what I hear of the new game)

Side B: Bullet Bill

Up B: Pop Up

Down B: Tuck In

Final Smash: Monty Tank

Entrance: Pop out of a hole in the side of a cliff.

Taunts: Crouch down inside the tank and glance around. Maybe make his little squeak noise.

Next up: Let's cover the Hammer Bros.!

Tuesday, July 21, 2020

Character Sheet: Lakitu (Lakilester)

LAKITU

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Well, there's really not much to talk about this one. Lakitus appear throughout these games, mostly acting as Lakitus do. The one main exception is Lakilester, or Spike, your companion in the first Paper Mario game. All things considered, he's fairly basic as far as Lakitus go too. His four main attacks in the game consist of two Spiny-throwing attacks and a lightning attack, alongside a move called Cloud Nine, where he can carry Mario away from ground-based attacks. That's pretty much it really.

Here is his moveset again:

Standard B: Spiny

Side B: Fishing Rod

Up B: Cloud Nine
Since it has an actual name now . . . the move will function much as it normally does in Paper Mario, carrying him up into the sky.

Down B: Lightning

Final Smash: Lakithunder

Entrance: Floats down from above with its iconic sound.

Taunts: We haven't covered the Mario Kart series yet, but it's 3-2-1 opening makes a lot of sense, or maybe waving the flag at the end of a lap. Also tucking down behind his cloud and shifting his eyes back and forth for a second. Maybe pulling out a camera and checking its quality?

Next up: Let's cover the Monty Mole enemy!

Monday, July 20, 2020

Character Sheet: Blooper (Paper Mario+)

BLOOPER

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

There's not really much to say for this one. Bloopers appear throughout these games, mostly acting as Bloopers normally do, with ink spray being their main attack. Several Gooper Blooper-style boss battles also appear, adding all that tentacle slapping into the mix. Luigi does have a Blooper companion named Blooey in Thousand-Year Door, but as that story is all told through Luigi and his companions, you don't really get to see him in action.

Here is the moveset:

Standard B: Ink

Side B: Surf

Up B: Inkjet

Down B: Tentacle Slap

Final Smash: Gooper Blooper

Entrance: Maybe float onto the stage, referencing how they can fly in The Lost Levels.

Taunts: Ink a little the way they do in Mario Kart. Wave a tentacle around. Float upward in the same animation from the original games.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover the Lakitu enemy, or rather your companion Lakilester!

Saturday, July 18, 2020

Character Sheet: Boo (Lady Bow)

BOO

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover the Boo enemy, or more specifically, your one Boo companion from the first Paper Mario game, Lady Bow, and any other major Boo appearances throughout these games. Lady Bow is a wealthy heiress living in a haunted mansion in the middle of a dark forest. Her moves in the game include the ability to make herself and Mario disappear, making them impervious to harm. She can also smack you a lot, either with her own little ghost-hand-thing or with a large fan. Both of these seem to have more to do with her being an heiress than being a Boo, but there you are. Finally, she also has a move where she jumps out and jumpscares the enemy, similar to what the ghosts of Luigi's mansion do. Other Boos appear frequently throughout the games, although for some reason, most of the early games seemed to avoid making them fightable enemies, mostly having them swarming around ghostly areas but never fighting you directly.

Here is their moveset:

Standard B: Obake Candlestick

Side B: Bomb Boo
The fan smacking works better as a jab.

Up B: Boo String

Down B: Vanish
Much like her utility of it in Paper Mario.

Final Smash: Boolossus

Entrance: Appears out of nowhere

Taunts: Just the basic cover-your-face animation. That screech of theirs needs to be included too. When they flash and show off a blue coin for sure. Maybe Bow's haughty laugh behind her fan.

Next up: Let's cover the Bloopers!

Friday, July 17, 2020

Character Sheet: Piranha Plant (Paper Mario+)

PIRANHA PLANT

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover the Piranha Plant. Not much to say here really. Piranha Plants show up throughout almost all of these games, with such variants as the yellow-colored poisonous Piranha represented by Piranha Plant's side B, an icy blue one, and so on, and they even have a few bosses here and there, like Lava Piranha and Megasmilax, but for the most part, Piranha Plants be Piranha Plants.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Ptooie

Up B: Fly

Down B: Poison
This one is more directly based on the poison cloud used in the Paper Mario games and in Smash itself right now.

Final Smash: Naval Piranha
Though it could just as easily be Lava Piranha. They're fairly similar.

Entrance: Pops out of a pipe.

Taunts: Chomping around the way he does. Doing the iconic up and down movement. Maybe the sleep animation.

Next up: Let's cover the Boos, or more specifically this time, your partner Lady Bow!

Thursday, July 16, 2020

Character Sheet: Goomba (Goombario/Goombella)

GOOMBA

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's talk about the Goombas, or rather your two main Goomba companions in the first two Paper Mario games: Goombario and Goombella. There are actually quite a few Goombas floating around in these games as enemies, most with unique properties. For instance, you have your Paragoombas, Goombas wearing spike hats, and the new darker-colored Gloombas. Also in the PAPER Mario games, Goombas tend to show off a lot of the PAPER gimmicks of those games, often being the ones to fold into points, stack up, or roll up into a wheel.

And then there's Goombella and Goombario themselves. Both come with the Tattle ability, giving you information on the opponents you are facing. This could function as a fun secret taunt on a Paper Mario stage, with both Goombella and Goombario giving you commentary on the fight. They both also come with a basic headbonk technique and a multibonk technique. Goombella can also appeal to the audience with one move and boost your stats a bit as a result. That's about it though really.

Here is the moveset again:

Standard B: Goom Spear

Side B: Kuribo's Shoe

Up B: Paragoomba

Down B: Stack Up
To be honest, not much changed on these really. Most of these are solid representations in their own right.

Final Smash: Goomboss
As this is his first true appearance, I should at least make note of it.

Entrance: Pops out of chestnut shell.

Taunts: The little hop around and squeak from Super Mario 64 for sure. Maybe a wink like Goombella does. Of course Tattle as a secret taunt.

Next up: Let's check out Piranha Plant.

Wednesday, July 15, 2020

Character Sheet: Dry Bones (Paper Mario+)

DRY BONES

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover the Dry Bones enemy. Not much to say here. They appear in most of the Paper Mario games, acting much as they normally do. The one major thing of note is that, as an echo of the Koopa Troopas, they will inherit some of the updated moves that came with your Koopa companions like Koops and Kooper.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Bone Throw

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Para Bones

Down B: Shell Cage
Same, but made of bones basically.

Final Smash: Zombie Horde
This one's more based on scenes like Hooktail castle, when a bunch of Dry Bones come to life and swarm you.

Entrance: Starting out as a pile of bones before coming together.

Taunts: Falling apart and coming together, tossing his head around, so on.

Next up: Let's cover Goombella and Goombario, our Goomba reps!

Character Sheet: Koopa Troopa (Koops/Kooper/Parakarry)

KOOPA TROOPA

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover the Koopa Troopa. The Koopa race appears all throughout this series in a variety of roles, but the most important, I feel, is the characters of Kooper, Koops, and Parakarry, your companions throughout the first two Paper Mario games, and your representative Koopas and Paratroopa respectively (as there is no Paratroopa slot). They will be color swaps, possibly switched to paper 2D models for those. I didn't feel they should be their own movesets, as their movesets in-game basically amount to token "Koopa" and "Paratroopa" movesets respectively.

Kooper's moves in the first game are all basically four different power levels of the same move: tucking into his shell and spinning forward. Koops is very similar, except that he adds in a giant shell he uses to shield himself and Mario, and a move similar to another used by Parakarry. Parakarry is much the same, except airborne, and can also pick up enemies and carry them away. The move shared by Koops and Parakarry sees several shells rocketing across the screen. Other notable additions throughout the series includes the Koopatrols, armored Koopas wielding lances.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Koopatrol Spear
This one works more as an echo to the bone throw for Dry Bones and can represent the Koopatrol race. They will throw one of the spears carried by the race.

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Paratroopa
Maybe bear some resemblance to Parakarry's Shell Shot and fly upward inside the shell.

Down B: Shell Shield
Rather than just tucking into the shell, they'll now borrow from Koops and cover themselves in a large Koopa shield.

Final Smash: Air Raid
This one will cover the move used by Koops and Parakarry and send a number of shells flying all over the screen, both Koopa and Paratroopa shells together.

Entrance: Starts out in his shell, before emerging using the standard animation.

Taunts: Giving a thumbs up and making the iconic Koopa sound, stepping outside of his shell and looking it over while in his underwear, maybe sleeping like a Snooza Koopa. Or maybe some of the companion moves, like Koops rubbing the back of his head.

Next up: Let's update the echo fighter, Dry Bones!

Character Sheet: The Koopalings (Paper Mario+)

THE KOOPALINGS

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

The Koopalings appear only once in this run of games, as bosses through Paper Mario: Color Splash. Each of them guards one of the six paint stars, except for Roy, who I guess is just hanging out in the castle this time around. Morton fights you with his hammer as he normally does, Iggy rides around in a chariot pulled by Chomps, Ludwig commands an armed battleship, Wendy fights you with her ring as usual, Larry is being an obnoxious passenger on a luxury train for some reason, and Lemmy hosts a circus and rides his ball. Roy fights you with his bullet bill cannon, now filled with paint.

Here is their moveset:

Standard B: Magic Ring

Side B: Bullet Bill Blaster

Up B: Bouncy Ball

Down B: Giant Hammer

Final Smash: Airships
Gonna keep this, it's far more connected to the characters than the mechs of this game.

Entrance: The whole Koopaling crew will descend in their giant Klown Kar, and the one selected by the player will hop off onto the stage.

Taunts: Varies depending on the Koopaling.

Next up: Let's cover the Koopa Troopas, and more specifically what kind of things Kooper, Koops, and Parakarry bring to the moveset.

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario

16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Bowser Jr. This one should be pretty quick, seeing as Bowser Jr. only appearing in one game in the series, that being Sticker Star (he will be appearing in Origami King apparently, but I haven't covered that yet). In Sticker Star, he flies around in his Klown Kar, throwing bombs, shooting cannonballs, and shielding himself, and can use the paperize ability to peel sections of the terrain up from reality. Not really much new or directly connected to him, so he probably won't change much.

Let's see how it all changes up!

Standard B: Cannonbomb

Side B: Mechakoopa

Up B: Eject

Down B: Transform

Final Smash: Mechabowser

Entrance: He could float down in the Klown Kar.

Taunts: His famous snicker has to be involved somehow. Maybe hopping out and painting in the air with his paintbrush. His tendency to put his hand over his eyes and look around. So on.

Next up: Let's cover his maybe siblings, the Koopalings!

18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Bowser. Now, this one has a very complex and layered history within this run of games, being a main playable character in Super Mario RPG and Super Paper Mario, a secondary playable character in the Thousand-Year Door, and the main villain of Paper Mario 64, Sticker Star, and Color Splash, each time powered up by some mystical force.

His moveset in Super Mario RPG includes scaring enemies with a Boo, crushing them with a giant Mechakoopa, throwing a giant rock at them, and spewing poison gas, while also using a chain chomp as a mace, and literally throwing Mario as an attack. In Paper Mario, he can stomp around, breathe fire, and claw at you, fly in his Klown Kar, and use the power of the Star Rod to level up. Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario don't add too much to that equation except for the ability to become a giant. In Sticker Star, he steals the actual Sticker Star, which powers him up and causes him to whip up a giant whirlwind. In Color Splash, he is possessed by the evil black paint, which allows him to attack with bombs, bullet bills, and lava bubbles made of the stuff.

Here's his moveset so far:

Standard B: Fire Breath

Side B: Boulder

Up B: Shell Spin

Down B: Slam Down
Hmm, I've had a shifter move for every changer character so far, should have a Dry Bowser move here maybe. I don't know.

Final Smash: Giant Bowser

Entrance: Bowser will land in his Koopa Klown Kar.

Taunts: His evil laugh from Super Mario 64, many of his taunts from Odyssey and other games, holding up a captive something or other, the list goes on.

Next up: Let's cover his son, Bowser Jr.!

Thursday, July 9, 2020

Character Sheet: Toadette (Paper Mario+)

TOADETTE

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa

16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Not really a whole lot to say here. Toadette appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door any time you learn a new special ability, and she will coach you through how to do it. That's pretty much it, really.

Here's her moveset:

Standard B: Flashlight

Side B: Pickaxe

Up B: Propeller Hat

Down B: Treasure Chest
Although this could be what changes her into Peachette when we get there.

Final Smash: Mega Mushroom
If the Down B is where she gets her Peach Crown from, a Mega Mushroom would work well enough here.

Entrance: She also arrives aboard the Toad Brigade ship.

Taunts: Her cute little "hi," with her hands behind her back, so on.

Next up: Let's cover Bowser, the King of Koopas!

Character Sheet: Toad (Paper Mario+)

TOAD

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario

17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Toad, and Toads, I guess, and all of their appearances across the Paper Mario games (and Super Mario RPG). Basically, they are the extras. Or one group of extras, unless we are talking about Color Splash, where apparently they rose up as the dominant species and eradicated every other group of extras who ever existed. Largely there's not much to talk about here, they just kind of take up the role of NPC and run shops and stuff around the towns you visit. Until you get to the paper gimmick games, that is. In Sticker Star, you can use them to stack up and form a bridge or a staircase and such, so that's kinda neat. In Color Splash, they can basically do everything and nothing all at the same time. A group of purple ones have keys growing out of their heads and loosely defined superpowers for some reason. Not a whole lot, but enough I suppose.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Flashlight
Sticking with this.

Side B: Pickaxe
Yeah, this too.

Up B: Propeller Hat

Down B: Treasure Chest

Final Smash: Mega Mushroom
Not much change. I could see the purple guys forming something, but this works better.

Entrance: He arrives aboard the Toad Brigade's ship, with the whistle bit.

Taunts: "Thank you, Mario, but our Princess is in another castle." That whistle bit at the beginning of the Toad Brigade's leitmotif. "Alright."

Next up: Let's cover Toadette!

Character Sheet: Princess Peach (Paper Mario+)

PRINCESS PEACH

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi

6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa

18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's go over Princess Peach. She's kind of in the same boat as Luigi, where she didn't have quite enough to warrant a Paper Peach character, but still some to talk about. She is a main playable character in both Super Mario RPG and Super Paper Mario, and has very small limited playable roles in Paper Mario 64 and the Thousand Year Door. In Sticker Star and Color Splash, she has very minimal roles as simply the damsel-in-distress yet again. Not much to say on those latter four, but we should talk about both. In Super Mario RPG, peach acts mainly as the group healer, using moves like therapy and group hug to heal herself or her companions, while also putting enemies to sleep, cancelling their attacks, and attacking them psychically (0_0). In Super Paper Mario, she could float and shield herself with her parasol. The most important addition in the first two Paper games would probably be her Sneaky Parasol that let her turn into various minions of Bowser.

Here is her moveset:

Standard B: Group Hug
Princess Peach will cast a healing spell that will heal both herself and anyone on stage who is part of her team. This does of course leave her vulnerable.

Side B: Sleepy Time
This one has to do with both her Sleepy Time move in Super Mario RPG, but also with her music box, and her Peach Blossom final smash. (She puts a lot of people to sleep apparently). However, it will be significantly toned down to be more like Jigglypuff's move.

Up B: Parasol
This stays the same

Down B: Parasol Shield
Peach will crouch down and cover herself with her umbrella, protecting herself from any attack.

Final Smash: Psych Bomb
How is that not her moveset already. I mean, just look at that name!

Entrance: She floats down from the sky on her parasol.

Taunts: Her kiss of Mario at the end of many games could be one, a lot of her small movements throughout her cutscenes perhaps, some of her victory screens from Super Mario 3D World maybe.

Next up: It's time for our boy, Toad!

LUIGI

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario

19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover Luigi. Now, unlike Mario, who we split off into an entirely separate moveslot for Paper Mario, I felt no need to do so for Luigi, as his appearances in those games are . . . a special kind of sparse, and when he does play a major role, he is mostly the same as the other protagonists, except for one major special skill, specifically a super jump. In Super Mario RPG, he doesn't appear at all. In Paper Mario, he is mostly hanging out at your house when you return there. In Thousand-Year Door, he crops up occasionally, telling you about his own adventure he's been on. In Sticker Star, he appears randomly in the background, and you have to use Kersti to peel him up. Finally, in Color Splash, he drives onto the scene in a Kart in the leadup to the final act of the game. Only Super Paper Mario shows him playing a major role, and much of that will be covered in his alternate Mr. L slot to be covered later.

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Ice Flower

Side B: Boomerang

Up B: Super Jump
Based on his super jump in Super Paper Mario, in which he will crouch down before launching himself skyward. Mr. L will also have this, but will crumple like paper in that one.

Down B: Item Box
Popping out a Poltergust and a small Floro Sapien sprout in order to become Vacuum Luigi and Mr. L respectively.

Final Smash: POW Block

Entrance: Enters through a Warp Pipe

Taunts: A lot of the taunts he uses during these games, such as after he grabs the flag.

Next up: Let's cover Princess Peach.

MARIO

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Mario is mostly an honorary revision here, as most of his appearances this time around will be covered by Paper Mario when I get to it, so the only one that really counts here is his appearance in Super Mario RPG. In RPG, most of Mario's moves have to do with punching, jumping on enemies, and throwing fireballs, all at different levels. One major element of note is that his strongest fireball attack is the basis for the Mario Finale in Smash, so I'll be taking that into account.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Cape

Up B: Super Jump Punch

Down B: Item Box

Final Smash: Mario Finale

Entrance: Pops up from a warp pipe.

Taunts: Still okay with his various Smash taunts as most of them are reflected in game.

Next up, let's go over Luigi again!

Friday, July 3, 2020

Paper Mario: Color Splash

PAPER MARIO: COLOR SPLASH

And now, for the one I can't be as generous with. Out of all the games I have covered so far, this one was one of the most unpleasant to work through. The best parts of the game I didn't encounter until the last hour of the game or so, after hours and hours of wandering around barren lifeless worlds, spending way too much time whacking random white spots with a hammer, and interacting with nothing but Toads, Toads, Toads, Toads, Toads, Toads, Toads, Toads, Toads. Did I mention Toads. They used to be one of my favorite Mario characters until this game came along.

The story follows Mario after he arrives in a place called Port Prisma, discovering that all the color has been sucked out of the world and the people in it. Toward the end of the story, you learn that this was caused by Bowser accidentally mixing the colors of the Color Fountain together and creating an evil parasitic black paint that took over his mind, and that the paint has been using all the color collected to fill up Banzai Bills with the paint and literally bomb the world with the stuff. (See, all the cool stuff is backloaded into the end. Come on, game!).

Mario plays pretty similarly to how he did in sticker star before, except that he now uses cards instead of stickers, but they serve the same function mostly. He can also paint with his hammer, making splashes to fill in the color-drained spots throughout the game, which makes up about seventy percent of the gameplay. Real world items return, including a fan, plunger, lemon, fire extinguisher, cat-o-luck, piggy bank, bone, bottle opener, ice pick, birdcage, balloons, teapot, turnip, instant camera, basin, cork, washing machine, charcoal grill, salt and pepper shakers, megaphone, hair dryer, magnifying glass, recorder, hammer, and disco ball. Huey is a living paint can who serves the same role as Kersti before him. He can also squeeze the color out of things and suck up black paint.

Princess Peach performs her standard damsel-in-distress role, while pretty much every single other supporting role is taken up by a Toad. Except for that one Toad, and that other Toad, and those Toads, and the weird Toads with keys on their heads, oh, and there's also those other Toads. So many Toads. Yoshi and Birdo both appear in a couple of spots though, with Birdo putting on a random performance again. Luigi appears at the very end of the game, racing onto the scene in a kart to take you up the rainbow road to get to Bowser's Castle. (Once again, everything good is backloaded into this game).

Bowser is once again the main villain of the game, though this time, he himself is not malicious. He simply wanted to play in some paint, and the black paint poisoned his mind. In his boss battle, he will summon black lava bubbles, stomp, fire black paint bombs, grow gigantic, spin in his shell, and spit a bomb of black paint. Kamek and the Koopalings also appear in this game. Kamek is pretty basic Kamek on his broom and casting spells at you. As for the Koopalings, Morton fights you with his giant hammer, Iggy rides around in a chariot and casts spells, Ludwig commands a battleship and a submarine, Wendy will throw out a golden ring, Larry hijacks and rides a train, Lemmy will ride around on a ball and summon enemies, and Roy uses a paint cannon armed with black paint.

Outside of the Koopalings, we only have two boss characters to discuss: first is Petea Piranha, a tea-based version of Petey Piranha, who fights pretty much exactly the same as Petey from the previous game, down to the exact same moves. Draggadon from Toad's Treasure Tracker appears again too, flying and swimming around in lava.

Shy Guys are like Toads in this game. Nearly every single enemy is another Shy Guy. That said, unlike the Toads, this game actually made them a little creepier. They are directly responsible for the draining of color from the world, and carry around straws that they'll use to drain you too. They also carry around paint buckets, stack up, wear spike hats, carry shields, ride unicycles, bounce on trampolines, and have their standard Snifit variant. Other enemies in the game include Goombas, Koopas, Swoopers, Buzzy Beetles, Cheep Cheeps, Spinies, Dry Bones, Scaredy Rats, Spikes, Hammer Bros, Bloopers, Boos, Pokeys, Ninjis, Fuzzies, Rocky Wrenches, Piranha Plants, and Dino Rhinos.

This game has a lot of different worlds, some of which are actual full stages, others of which are just little stopping places and such. Sadly none of them are really tied down to specific worlds, outside of having a general color theme between different areas. All of their names are colors too. They include Port Prisma, Ruddy Road, Cherry Lake, Crimson Tower, Indigo Underground, Bloo Bay Beach, Sunglow Ridge, Daffodil Peak, Roshambo Temple, Chateau Chanterelle, Mondo Woods, Marmalade Valley, Kiwano Temple, Golden Coliseum, Dark Bloo Inn, Plum Park, Sacred Forest, Mustard Cafe, Violet Passage, Red Pepper Volcano, Cobalt Base, Fort Cobalt, Vortex Island, Lighthouse Island, Fortune Island, Toad Trainworks, Tangerino Grill, Sunset Express, Red Pepper Crater, Green Energy Plant, Mossrock Theater, Emerald Circus, and Black Bowser's Castle.

Much like the stickers in the previous game, battle cards make up the majority of your items this time around, plus the real world items mentioned before.
