Interesting Paper Mario Experiments/ Secrets [Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]

paper mario is a game where mario characters are made of well paper but things go from nice and charming to incredibly cursed very quickly once you hack the game's camera one funny observation is that if we look at this ball bomb with an eye patch from behind you'll see that his eye patch extends around all the way behind him and there's another eye patch on his back you know the expression having eyes on the back of your head well this ball bomb has an eye patch on the back of his head characters can face forwards and backwards and they can look fine both ways and this is because of how layers of the character model are stacked on top of each other in this game in some characters like princess peach this is more obvious and you can have a nice kind of 3d effect with how these layers are stacked on top of each other but if you hack the camera to see a character from their non-active side what you see might look incredibly cursed like a faceless toad because the toe's face is on the other side right now goombella is a character that looks pretty normal from behind unlike mario and codesworth who just like other toes has no face when you're looking at them from behind if you look at this mouse character from behind you can see all the parts that make up a mouse and from the front it looks like a normal paper mario character if we move around to the back of this dog character his head looks like it's partially made up out of an acorn but one of my favorites has to be these pianta guys they look very formal with their tuxedos from the front here but when you look at them from behind with a hacked camera which you can't normally see in the game they've got these low-cut tops from the back exposing a lot of their upper back and it's hilarious to know that these guys are so formal with their suits from the front but the character models look like this from the back and yeah mario showing goombella a map looks pretty cursed when you look at it from a different camera angle there are these enemies here who get beaten up by the piantas in a cut scene in the background and from behind part of their head looks like it makes the shape of a heart since we still have a hacked camera available here you can see that during this cutscene where goombella joins your party if you zoom out you can see that the rest of the characters in rogueport are still there behind you you might be wondering what this cooking toad named zesty looks like from behind she looks pretty normal aside from the fact that she has an exact replica of her apron that she's wearing behind her also and normally in this game you step on zesty's contact lens and you break it and then she blocks you from entering this next loading zone to the next area of the game until you bring her back some new contact lenses and this right here was brilliant safe game design on the part of the game developers because if you hack your position to skip past zesty or if there is some way to skip past zesty without hacking the game this loading zone isn't active so it doesn't take you anywhere i edited mario's position to skip past this gate where you normally need professor frankly to be with you to unlock the gate and there must be a flag in the game that automatically says professor frankly to be with you when you enter this pipe because professor frankly joins us all of a sudden down in the rogue port sewers there's this creepy looking mr potato head guy with a very uncomfortable nervous smile and if we look at him from behind he has a completely bare back you'd think that maybe his shirt would cover some of his back the bandits and the ball bombs look just fine from behind and the toad just like other toads is faceless and when a toad has an apron when we look at them from behind the apron ends up being mirrored there's this guy in a back alley in rogueport here named darkly and darkly is from twilight town and when we look at him from behind he's got a missing face so he's a bit less creepy than backwards mario i hacked mario's position again so that we could enter this room with the teleporter early and when mario leaves the room goombella says we're underneath rogueport the x-naughts use that thing to come here from the moon and that dialogue gets triggered even though we haven't been to the moon yet and we don't know where the x-nuts are remember how this professor frankly was added to our party once we went down the pipe well let's head on over to the real professor frankly's house to see if there's going to be a second professor frankly there and yes there are now two professor franklies i don't know which of these gumbella is speaking to and you might have noticed that things are looking pretty high resolution for a gamecube game in this video here and that's because we're using an hd texture pack for paper mario the thousand year door so something as simple as this little book on professor frankly's table has a crazy amount of detail even if we zoom in on it and after this dialogue with professor frankly ends the new professor frankly disappears and pops into nothing so we only have one professor frankly with us unfortunately and when we went outside and this professor frankly went to unlock the gate that he's normally supposed to unlock the same gate that we've skipped earlier the game soft blocks here and we can't continue when we get to see some koopas which are one of the most iconic mario enemies you might be scared to see how cursed they look from behind their arm is on the wrong way they have blank eyes because of how their pupils appear in the front but not in the back you can see the full extent of the tail which is normally covered by the shell when you look at it from the front the neck object looks weird and there's just so much that looks wrong with the koopa but this is what the koopa looks like from behind because this is how these pieces are layered and yes all koopas that we are going to see are going to be looking very demonic from behind there's this blue disco character named dupree and in some other languages his name is a reference to elvis and from behind it just looks like his head is on backwards but his body's still facing the right way general white the favorite bob-omb of everyone in this paper mario game looks like a regular bomb-bomb from behind not too crazy but we'll see some crazy bum-bums later and we need more faceless little toads because we do not have enough of them i wanted to see koopie ku from behind and as i rotated the camera around we saw coops inside the house he's looking just as cursed as the other koopas and he's definitely the most cursed partner that we have seen so far it's funny that from the front koopa koo's hair looks normal here and from behind when we're looking at it from behind you can see how far the hair object extends out and how much of it is covered when you're looking at it from the front and it's interesting that it's not only characters who are layered like this but also the background and this is something that you'll see in a lot of games like certain levels of super smash bros melee where the background is made up of layers like this at far outpost there's normally a canon below the city here and if you hack the camera you can see that the canon is actually down here all along lakitus have a tough smirk a cloud with sunglasses and a little shell that's just peeking out behind them but when you look at them from behind the lakitu is still staring at you you can see the full tiny little shell and the cloud has no face now so the lakitu is watching you no matter where you go and if you like this lackadoos little smile you can give this video a like if you're enjoying the video there's this rich bob family at glitzville and one interesting thing to point out about their child is that you can see how far down the wick extends from behind but from the front it just looks like the wick goes into the top part of the ball bomb like a normal bomb this innocent little shopkeeper toad might look like he's holding a pencil behind his ear that's something that you might do sometimes but from behind it looks like the pencil is going through this poor toad's head we've got a lack of two cameraman and a carriage recorder which isn't anything strange we shouldn't ask any questions about this and what do you see when you look at this from behind the camera is always watching you you can never escape the cameraman he's always feeling you no matter where you go if you love regular koopas we're frightening from behind get ready to see a dark koopa troll from behind because of the overlapping koopa parts and the metallic helmet this looks like a failed science experiment that is ready to be tossed aside and something that i didn't notice until editing this clip was that professor frankly is still in the background here running against the door as if he's going let's be head let's be in braba comes onto the stage here and from what we've seen before usually when someone's dressed up nicely with a bow tie in a nice suit when we check them out from behind we see that they're wearing nothing again why do these people not wear clothes on their backs he actually looks like a funny little blue duck from back here the mouth really makes him look like a little blue duck he looks like he has a little duck mouth here i was really curious about how these security guards would look like from behind and they actually still had a suit on from behind which is nice that's very formal of them it's just that their head was rotated 180 degrees or more like 170 degrees i was curious about how loading zones behind doors would work and this is what happened when we hacked mario's position to be through the door before talking to the security guard let's talk to him what's that you want to be a fighter bub oh all right go on in mr grubba's just inside we already are inside i steps away from the door now all of a sudden we can walk in and imagine playing the full game paper mario over 1000 year door like this looking at the game from this angle you get to see a blue duck a cursed mario a very cursed cooper a professor frankly with you for the whole game it definitely makes hidden star pieces a lot less hidden when you play looking at the game like this koopas being cursed should be no surprise right now but that doesn't make seeing a hammer bro any less frightening than it is from the front it looks like the hammer bro is actually holding the hammer but from the back you can see that the fingers don't actually wrap around the hammer and there's no need to see that because you don't normally see it from this angle if we take a look at a red spike top from behind this looks like a complete mess because of all the overlapping parts that you don't get to see and we've got one more koopa with sunglasses but since the sunglasses cover the eyes from the front they don't cover the eyes from the back and it looks like this if we take a look at the toad assistant jolene from behind her head is on backwards you can see the front of her clothes you don't see her glasses and a bit of her hair sticks out from the front also and during the cut scene where jolene leads you over to the locker room i love mario's vertical position to be up in the air so he floats alone these cactus enemies called pokies look like normal from behind except they don't have any eyes let's look at the ghost partner flurry take a look at what this character is going to look like when we look at it from behind i'll let you know this is not what i expected flurry to look like from behind with all these overlapping objects i did not expect flurry to be a blob monster when we look at the yoshi partner from the side it ends up being a bit scarier than i thought it would be because of the eyes and you can let me know in a comment what color yoshi you had when you played through this game or what your favorite color yoshi is merlin looks incredibly normal from behind except for his shoes which are normally covered up when you look at him from the front there's a traveling salesman in rogueport named charlieton and when we take a look at him from behind this might not look very strange at first but there's something very deceptive about this when you see the front again from the front it looks like this backpack goes all the way across his back and it looks like he has a backpack strap around each of his arms but from behind it's a tiny backpack that only covers half of his back this looks like something out of a mario and luigi game oh and there's a toad girl up there hello toad girl up there without a face a backwards apron toadsworth with his head on backwards and no face not a problem and flavio and now we are in a train and this is something interesting that you'll see in the design of games a lot when there are backgrounds that are going by this looks like you're actually in a train and you're going by some background but what's actually happening and we can see this if we move the camera is that objects are just flying by you to make it look like you're moving by the background sometimes you see a cactus flying by sometimes some rocky formation and here's what the train conductor toad looks like from behind just a standard faceless toad next we get to take a look at this toad character named hefty from behind [Music] let's see oh my goodness uh okay first i was thinking he has two arms but that's just like up to his elbow and then the rest of his arm but man he's got no shirt back here oh my goodness wow wow yeah i guess there's no point in giving him a shirt back here because like you can't see it from that angle there is a ghost toad on the xs express and the most surprising thing about this ghost toad is that from behind they still have a face unlike any of the other toes that we've seen vivian is a great partner who looks sweet and perfect whether we look at her from the front or the back maybe her hat looks a little different but that's okay there's normally a bar here that prevents you from getting past here as mario so i naturally wanted to edit mario's position to make a pass and check out what's back here and there are some solid objects that you could interact with and there's some weird lighting but nothing else really here this is what a normal penguin looks like you can see the white part and the blue part but from behind it looks like the arm is sticking out of the wrong spot and the white part is overlapping strangely because of a different angle that we're looking at this at oh yes yes he has the guy that calls you luigi for the whole game okay so this penguin looks kind of as expected after you've seen the other penguin then you'll know that the arm sticks out like this and the way that the it looks like his backpack goes through him the strap on his backpack instead of going around him it goes through him i was editing mario's position to see what would happen if we fell off the map and i was a bit surprised at what we found here here's what happens if you fall off the map i didn't expect that oh that's really cool so this works in a way that's really similar to this works in a way that's really similar to the original paper mario if there are characters used for cut scenes then it looks like they're stored beneath the level like that i didn't expect that i was just goofing off i just wanted to follow up the level and show you guys what happens when you fall off the level but we ended up seeing yeah cami koopa and all these other characters here so here are characters that are used in cut scenes yeah and they're all stacked together so look from behind this is what you see there's cami koopa uh there's the penguin investigator who else is here this is just an assortment of people there's a top hat so the top hat it looks like it's from the bob guy i tried this in a nearby room and something similar happens it's also funny that sometimes you'll have your partners used in a specific cutscene and even if you bring out your partner and drop down below the level you'll still see a copy of your partner stored below the level that's normally used in the cutscenes near petal meadows i dropped down below the level and this is what i saw it's hook tail and candy koopa but look how small hook tail is that's so weird how small hook tail is pretty cool how hook tails 3d but it's it's uh this is giving me shrek vibes with donkey and the dragon there's a blue rat businessman that we saw at blitzville and here's what he looks like from behind and you might know that the bob-omb family from earlier is supposed to be at poshley heights right now but since they're at glitchville earlier in the game they're now stored below the level where you can't normally see them maybe they just want to spend some family time down there i was wondering what was below this part of glissville and this is what i saw when i went below the level imagine coming into the stream at a moment like this you'd be like what in the world is going on imagine if this was someone's first time in this stream and they saw this at glitzville there are sometimes fights going on here and you can't make it through to the fight because of the npc's blocking you but if you hack your way through this is what happens we're joining in on the fight we are going to help the fight this is illegal someone from the audience has just jumped up to join in on the fight oh my goodness what is going on oh what is that he's swapping partners he's bringing out bobbery oh my goodness he throws bobbery the blah-blah explodes damaging them i put mario here by hacking his position you can't normally get here and here's what happens if you go through this door that you can't normally go through and you can actually take that door but you're not supposed to be able to take this door so you're back here we're actually behind the door right now what if we talk to him no one goes in here unless they're signed up for an official match well i must be signed up for an official match because i'm literally in there that's really funny we might have thought that we took care of grubba before but if we go below the level his cage is still down here below the level and if we go a bit farther down we can still see grubba and the boss grubber and he looks very angry that he's being kept below the level this is a bit like that meme don't ever talk to me or my son ever again bobbery is an incredibly detailed partner and i was shocked that when we hacked the camera and looked at him from behind he looks like a real bo bomb there's a real ball bomb under that mustache and that hat you can see the actual bomb outline and the mustache and the hat they're all just accessories just like the piantas front before these piantas all of their low-cut shirts on the back when we take a look at them from behind and the same is even true of don pianta if we make our way over to don pienta below the jungle there are all kinds of characters normally used in cut scenes and areas here that are stored on top of each other the water that surrounds the island it looks like it has some depth to it but if you hack yourself to be below the water you can see that there isn't really much to it and there's nothing below the surface of the water so we've already seen a few rooms where npcs were stored below the level and stacked on top of each other but i was really surprised at what we saw in this one room in the jungle here what they're just walking around here they're not even just stored but they're walking around that's so weird that's so weird i haven't seen anything like this before oh my goodness and you can see that the guy that he still has the diamond ring so that's really interesting to see them moving like this oh and there are some characters there what the what is he holding what in the world uh okay that's the fish i'm like it looks like he's just holding someone if we head on over to the great tree and we look at what's below the great tree there are a bunch of punies and a toad stored below the level and it looks like the peonies are eating the toad's face the partner miss mouse looked very normal when we took a look at this partner from behind and you might remember when you first meet the partner fleury in this game that she says she can't come out until she gets her necklace back but if you hack the camera and you take a look at her then you realize that she has her necklace all along why is she making you chase after a necklace that she already has there's a scene in paper mario the thousand-year door where princess peach hops into the shower and you can see her hang up her dress you might be wondering what her character model looks like right now since her dress is hanging and oh my goodness she is still wearing a dress in the shower why is she showering while wearing a dress where did that second dress come from how many layers of dresses is she wearing i know that this is a really special game for a lot of people and i
