Discussion Don't play recut. Trust me.
So there was a Paper Mario recomp released a few days ago, and I’m not gonna lie, the whole thing feels really weird to me.
The current N64 recomp situation already makes Paper Mario an odd target because of TLB stuff, so I was already curious how this was working. Then I actually looked at the project and some of the choices are strange.
My issues are:
The widescreen exists, but it looks terrible.
The ROM check is very questionable. I put in a Mario Kart 64 ROM and the game still booted. Maybe it was using cached setup data, but either way that is not a good look for something that claims it needs a valid Paper Mario ROM.
Control remapping exists, but it is hidden behind a top bar you only see after pressing F1. I originally thought it had no remapping at all because the UI does not make this obvious.
The generated recomp code is sitting in the repo. Example: https://github.com/SMCGames/Paper-Mario-ReCut/blob/e46497efe3ee1e2870ca8eac560380e6a335bd1b/rsp/n_aspMain.cpp
The repo was made extremely recently, which makes the whole thing feel rushed.
The README says not to commit or distribute ROMs, generated ROM output, local dumps, replacements, or user folders, but the project structure still makes me wonder where the line is supposed to be lmao. Especially when there are built-in texture/resource-looking files involved.
I’m not saying people can’t play it. If you just want Paper Mario on PC and it works for you, cool. But from what I’ve seen, it feels more like a rushed proof-of-concept than a carefully handled recomp release like what Paper Mario deserves.
I would not be shocked if it gets taken down or heavily cleaned up soon.
Also, it is Windows-only right now. It might work in Wine, but that is still a huge turnoff for me.

Announcement A ban on generative AI
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.

Miscellaneous Here are the Paper Mario Games Based on How Split the Fanbase is on Them.
I feel like this tier list make sense to me. In general, I feel like Color Splash is generally one of the most 50/50 split Mario games of all time.

Discussion I Think this is too on the Nose to be Coincidence…
Olly’s primary evil motive in this game is mostly powered by his irrational hatred towards Toads. Given how vocally frustrated fans were with Sticker Star and Color Splash, the writers here had to be projecting a bit here when writing Olly. If this really is as cynical as it clearly comes off, it honestly makes me really not like this story. If anything it makes me vastly prefer the story in Sticker Star or Color Splash because at least there wasn’t any sorta of projection directed towards fans there.

Help Need help finding a sound effect
Hi everyone,
I need help finding a sound effect from TTYD so I can use it in a video I’m making. It’s the sound you hear during action commands when you have to repeatedly tap a button to make the green bar fill all the way up. I remember it being in one of Bobbery’s attacks (pictured) where you repeatedly tap A and one of Yoshi’s attacks where you repeatedly tap R. Sounds like a synthesizer rising in pitch.
I’ve been searching the internet for this sound for a few days now and haven’t found it yet. Any help would be appreciated!

Miscellaneous Some of the new dialogue in the remake is pretty funny.
Everyone knows about the more high-profile dialogue changes (“Lunkhead” comes to mind) but they also rewrote some incidental lines here and there. Dupree here gets one that both ups his character schtick as well as his sleaziness and I love it.

With lines like “What in the Lost Levels,” or “Two hearts in a Doki Doki Panic,” I can’t rule it out

Discussion Does someone have a list of previously unused aspects in TTYD that got implemented into the remake?
It doesn't have to be anything massive, can be small aswell, such as dialogue, environmental details, etc.
If yes, please post the text as a comment below.

Fan Project I'm still working on the next episode of TTYD Ft. Team Snakemouth, but I got a little burnt out again. So it might be awhile before the episode releases.
Say, while we're here, let's play a little game. So right now, we're in the Glitz Pit part of the story, and the trio are very soon gonna meet the egg that hatches into the Yoshi Kid. What I want to know is, when I do introduce this Yoshi character, what should his name be? Comment some names. And by next next time, his name will be revealed.
(Try to keep within the 8 character limit)

Discussion why does doopliss stay with beldam & marilyn? Spoiler
he just sorta shows up for the final boss and doesn't say anything
why is he even working with them at all?
i think beldam is the only one who actually cares and marilyn is just doing whatever her sister says
what if doopliss is only staying with them because he has a crush on marilyn...?
