Announcement A ban on generative AI

1.0k Upvotes

r/papermario as a community has focused on propping up and sharing the best the community has to offer, including the artists within the community. In recent years generative AI has come out and there has been significant issue within the artist community with it's existence.

Given that we focus on making this place have a minimum standard of quality we believe that something that uses art without consent of the artists as inherently hostile to the artists within our community and falls below our standards as a community. We are explicitly adding generative AI as low quality content for rule 4.

Starting today and here on forward any post containing generative AI will be removed from the subreddit. This will be somewhat retroactive as well as it is found and reported.

I've only finished the prologue so far, but I made the main villain in Canva. It is written as though it were a game, so it has "gameplay" segments that state what the player would be meant to do. I simply can't imagine writing it any other way. Enjoy!

Discussion People saying Sticker Star is the worst game ever?

0 Upvotes

I know sticker star is divisive, but it is not the worst nintendo game, there are way more boring games and games with way more sinister and evil themes like Fire Emblem. I dont get what the internets obsession with spitting and kicking on a childhood game and a favourite game of many.

Since the previous post got taken down, I decided to upload a tweaked tier list of the original. Anyone honestly disputing this?

PM64 A>S
SMRPG S
>A+

SPM B+>A
S.Saga A
>A-
M+Rab A->>>B+

D.Team D>B-
B.Ship B
>C

Remasters paired with Original Versions for simplicity. Justice for Sticker Star to be put in D but not from me.

Discussion My first Paper Mario creation (TwirLeana)

13 Upvotes

TwirLeana is a Fan Made partner I made for TTYD, her abilities include:

Overworld - Lets you do the Twirl Move from PM 64, you can use this to confuse enemies on impact. This ability can be used to spin on "Dial Platforms" which will open a door when the floor panel is spun.

Battle:

- Main (Windmill) : Spins around in place sending a wave of air that spins the other enemy onto any other grounded enemies, like the super hammer.

- 1st Upgrade (Wind Shield) : Creates a "Tornado Shield" that can cover either Mario or his partner for 2 turns, during this time, any projectiles thrown the shield is bounced back to the enemy, things like spears, hammers, ect. However, this only blocks projectiles, the shield does not stop direct enemy damage and you will still take the damage, 3 FP.

- 2nd Upgrade (Twister) : Creates a MASSIVE storm that spins every enemy inside it, grounded or not, and circles them until an action command is missed, while the enemies are inside, they will smash into each other dealing damage (1 - 2) per second (10 Secs MAX), the higher the action command bar, the longer the wind will turn, causing enemies to smash into each other more, 10 FP. This attack will not change with buffs (Charge P, Power Lift, Power Rush, ect.)

Extra Stuff: To balance her having no direct attacks, therefor no worry of spikes or anything, her health starts at 5 (No upgrade) and goes up by 5 each upgrade (Upgrade 2 = 15 HP), she will still be hit by enemy attacks.

How to Unlock: She will be found in Chapter 6 at Poshly Heights and will be the last partner you encounter in the game, you will find her staring at the lake and she will only comment on the water and how beautiful it is until you try to open the museum door. Instead of the detective having the key, he will tell us to interrogate the members of the town to track down who has it., this will lead to a brief fetch quest where you will have to give TwirLeana her Paintbrush back. Once all that is done she will give you a replica key since her Father is the owner and she made a secret copy. While she is opening the door, she will ask various questions about what Mario is planning to do. After he tells her his plans, she wants to go along since she always thought that the Crystal Stars looked beautiful on a canvas and always wanted to see the real thing. After that, she is a permanent addition to your party.

Let's Play Finishid the Pit of 100 Trials (TTYD) Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
17 Upvotes

I had already completed the Pit up to level 50 to get the bag upgrade, but I didn't plan on finishing it. However, I was near the end and had already done all the extra missions, and I thought, "Why not?", it would increase my enjoyment of the game and I also wanted to see what the boss was like, the result is that I went in at level 23 and left at 30; the healing that leveling up provided was very useful.

The boss was extremely more difficult than the rest, although I admit that I abused the save states, which made it much easier and perhaps takes away some of the value of this achievement, but I didn't use them against Bonetail. I wanted a more authentic experience against the boss. I went through the 99 levels spending practically no items, only to reach the boss where my items were reduced to half and I had a thread of life the whole time. I used the 0-star skill to continue recovering life and flowers without spending items. At least I hit some superguards, which was cool.

But now with Bonetail defeated and no more side missions, it's time to finish this game...after restocking items because I need them.

Paper Mario ttyd got a remake 2 years ago, paper Mario 64 got a PC port recently, while super paper Mario got nothing. I think super paper Mario needs a remake, and if it gets a remake, it will probably have HQ music.
