Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: {{spoiler|Macho Grubba}} from Chapter 3. Despite having a whopping 60HP, which is massive for this point, considering the last boss only had 30HP and the next one will only have 40HP, he's still incredibly easy to beat and also pretty easy to superguard as well. Although only if you do it ''quickly'', as he uses his turns to [[Status Buff|buff himself up to monstrous levels]].

* [[Catharsis Factor]]: Let's be honest: using Vivian to beat the ever-loving pigshit out of Beldam near the end of the game is ridiculously satisfying.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Bowser's battle in Chapter 8.}}

** Pretty much all of the bosses have wonderful music. Notable mentions are Hooktail/Gloomtail/Bonetail's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJRDKXsJG6w boss music] and Rawk Hawk's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-lmaPnnD4g kickass battle theme.]

** Also, the Rogueport Theme, the Rogueport Sewers theme, the X-Naut Fortress theme... hell, this entire game is a Crowning Music of Awesome.

** Crump, Grodus, and {{spoiler|the Shadow Queen's battle themes}} as well, only fitting as they are the main antagonists.

** Some of the later monsters in the [[Bonus Level|Pit of 100 Trials]] can be '''BRUTAL.''' Namely, Wizzerds of any sort, Arantulas, and even the dreaded Amayzee Dayzees can show up (sometimes not alone!).

* [[8.8]]: Game Informer originally gave the game a '''6.5'''. This would have been bad enough, but the reviewer's primary complaint? ''The writing was bad.'' The ensuing fan backlash actually prompted two letters of apology. The first one claimed that the reviewer gave the score not of his opinion, but guessing how well consumers would like it. This caused more complaints about the review, so a second apology letter was written with the exact opposite message.

* [[That One Boss]]: {{spoiler|The Shadow Queen}} is quite hard, even by [[Final Boss]] standards. Despite having only 1 Defense and her Attack being outmatched by a boss from 10 minutes ago, she gets multiple attacks per round, as well as being ''very'' difficult to time for dodges, so the damage starts racking up very quickly. She also has an attack that will drain your HP, and at one point, eats the audience's SOULS to restore her health. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Oh, and there's a pair of very long unskippable cutscenes before the real fight starts.]] [[Sarcasm Mode|Have fun.]]

** {{spoiler|Magnus 2.0}}. He's got [[That One Attack]] where he sucks up the audience in a hose and rapid-fires them at you, dealing completely massive damage unless you can block correctly.

* [[The Scrappy]]:

** Flurrie is easily the least popular partner, which can mostly be attributed to her design.
