Yeah, seeing Mario & Luigi villains ranked would be cool too. I mean, like, we all know what number one is, but still.

Doopliss the boss of Chapter 4 being number four on the list?! Ironic isn’t it.

Top 10 anime comebacks.

Honestly Iggy calling Mario a pretty boy is pretty funny and fits his absolutely unhinged nature

Looks like I have found my arch nemesis.

As a pm fan, I appreciate not only how inclusive and in detail this list is, but how it ranks the villains instead of just the boss battles. I cannot imagine the amount of work you put into this, your dedication is outstanding.

Tanabe should have been the highest ranked villain on this list

Back then, it was funny how Rawk Hawk got his ass beat by a Toad, but now that we can fight that Toad, hot damn, can we blame him?

For beldam and the shadow queen, i feel like its implied that both are much older then 1k years, its just that the event everyone remembers the shadow queen for happened then.
Its quite possible that the specific event being referred to is actually her utilizing the crystal stars for the first time after making them, as I believe that gave her a massive power boost.

I also think that she deserves a better score for story involvement, as even though you dont directly see her, she is brought up constantly throughout the story as the main threat. At the very least she has an amazing leadup to her.

As for the whole power of friendship thing, i guess it could have something to do with the crystal stars being affected by their wielder? Either that or all that they did in that cutscene was distract the shadow queen long enough for peach to regain control for long enough to power up mario & co. We do know that peach is a proficient spellcaster when it comes to support buffs.

As for the shadow queens design, her 'true form' always felt like it was intentionally incomplete, as if she hasnt had long enough to solidify and reach her full power. It kinda looks a bit like a storm or vortex around the possessed peach, almost as though she isnt in full control of herself.

As for the whole grodus not forseeing the betrayal part, it could very well be that beldam never actually told him herself that the queen would obey whoever emerged, rather it could be that that was part of the rumours that she had been spreading for countless years.

“Remember Mario and Luigi? Yeah, that series outright died due to poor sales of it’s remake.”

Or so we thought.

Oh boy, 6 hours of Warlord.

I didn’t think I’d actually spend 6 hours listening to all of this but this was definitely quite a trip. It definitely made me think more about what made all of these characters I liked work.

Back in the day's of the Tanabe trilogy (so back you could call it the Tanabe duology) me and a couple friend's had a running joke about a seemingly impossible direct sequel to TTYD, with thing's only got more and more absurd and less E-rated with the passage of time.

One of these moments was a final boss battle against Beldam, with Vivian being your only available partner where she dawn's the former Shadow Queen's crown and goes through a flashy magical-girl transformation into a new GOOD Shadow Queen and fight's along side Mario to kill her sister.

Paper should be the art-style NOT the entire plot. I sincerely hope nintendo understands that after the TTYD remake

“Dude, you have to stop making such short videos. I mean, only 6 hours?!”

Amazing video, joke aside

5 hours.. I'll have to listen to this while I make my christmas special

It's actually impressive how badly Tanaba has made the paper mario series, so bad nintendo said f it and released the masterpiece ttyd, also donkey kong "do we really need the main villian back after a decade" god I hope nintendo gets rid of him cause holy hell the dude is just bad at what he does or at the very least KEEP HIM FAAAAR AWAY FROM ACTUAL STORY OR DECISIONS

great video man. we should lock tanabe in a cage and make him do little dances

Beldam is an underrated antagonist.
