PLOT IN A NINTENDO GAME? HOW RIDICULOUSLY ABSURD.

 

Paper mario anyone?

 

Even they didn't have much of a plot. Except for Super Paper Mario. But that's a single game out of tons.

What about Paper MArio 2?

 

Or Mario RPG made by square enix?

 

Or paper luigi (I loved those stories)?

 

MArio and Luigi series?

Paper Mario 2, collect seven objects, and stop an evil Queen.

 

I haven't played Mario RPG, I found it dreadfully boring.

 

Paper Luigi isn't a game itself.

[Dark]

Okay, sorry. I had to use this post for something, but it's done now.

[Nexev]

You ally with the servant of an evil queen who was sealed decades ago by those guys stuck in chests.

 

You then set yourself to find all 7 only to discover that infact this is the path to unlcoking an ancient evil.

 

In addition you play as Princess peach struggling to free herself and befriending a computer which eventually tries to help her.

 

And then there is Zesty T, cause why not?

[Headmaster Monokuma]

It's still not all that intricate. But Zesty T. does help the plot a lot. Without her, there would be no plot.

 

And I figured something like that would happen while I was playing it blind. After all, does Mario ever actually get that reward? NO. The real plot twist would be him getting an award, ON CAMERA.

[Nexev]

Look it becomes more intricate if you pay the bar guy, he gives backstory look at this.

 

Legend has it that the Shadow Queen simply appeared one day and waged war against the city where Rogueport now stands. The demon destroyed the city, murdering and slaughtering all who stood in her path. The war itself would be described as a great cataclysm where the earth shook and skies roared. After an onslaught of attacks, the city eventually sank beneath the depths of the earth. One quarter of the old city was constructed to be the Palace of Shadows where the entrance would be the Thousand Year-Door itself.

 

With the city in her complete control and a base of operations, the demonic Queen next set her sights on the rest of the world, hoping to plunge it into an endless time of pain and suffering under her control. To this end, she created numerous demonic beasts and spirits to make the core of her army. Among them were the three Shadow Sirens who would be the most trusted followers of the queen. With her new army, the Shadow Queen set them on the surrounding areas of the world. The demons wiped out all resistance as they took the lands by force, killing millions of people in the process. Towns were destroyed and their treasures were stolen to be stored within the palace, soon to become rich with valuables. The Shadow Queen was far from finished though and created three dragons, Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail. These dragons became the loyal pets of the queen and quickly spread fear and suffering throughout the world, feasting on numerous people, their corpses soon reanimated to become minions of the queen.

 

The queen and her army quickly became feared above all else and the mere mention of them sent people into a fearful state. As more areas fell to the Shadow Queen, she next created the Crystal Stars. These jewels were created to hold the essences of the heavens and would be used to transform the world into a demonic state. These stars were placed in separate areas around the world to exert the queen's influence, with the very nature of countless lands morphing into the demonic image of the queen. Castles and fortresses were constructed to keep them secured, one of which would be known as Hooktail's Castle which would also soon become a dungeon to torture those who opposed the queen. Realizing that her opposition were still recruiting others, the queen created a dungeon called the Pit of 100 Trials, which eerily resembled a torture chamber where people were tortured and devoured by demonic beasts and Bonetail. At this point in time, much of the world was in ruins and controlled by the queen, millions and millions of innocent lives were long extinguished, and the Queen's forces expanded into unlimited numbers and were roaming around the scarred planet.

 

Just when all hope seemed lost, four brave warriors stepped forward to end the reign of the demon once and for all. The four were a Toad with an odd voice from Petalburg, a wise Goomba from Boggly Woods, a scarred and feared Koopa, and a Boo who was once part of the demonic army but left at the urging of the koopa. The Toad from Petalburg was often ridiculed for his voice, but came to be seen as a hero when he defended his town from the Queen's evil forces. The wise Goomba was a resident of the Boggly Woods and used her vast set of knowledge to aid the Punis in defending themselves against the monsters. The scarred Koopa was a drifter who went around the world battling evil. He became feared among the dark army, but eventually a trap was set for him and he soon fell into it. The Boo warrior of the army then left her demonic allegiance and helped the Koopa. The Boo then used her powers to predict that they would need the aid of the Toad with the odd voice and the wise Goomba in order to have a fighting chance against the Shadow Queen. All four came together and made a plan to destroy the queen. They would use the very power she controlled against her, the Crystal Stars themselves. Through numerous trials, the four obtained the stars and ventured into the Palace of Shadow. There they faced the demon in an epic battle. After an intense fight, the heroes destroyed the queen's physical being. Even then though, the queen's demonic spirit lived on and attempted to kill the warriors. The heroes made one last effort and sealed the queen in her own palace.

 

Before the seal was complete though, the queen sent a portion of her magic into the heroes. The effects would not be felt while they held the stars, but afterward the heroes would become trapped within black chests. The queen vowed to return one day and will conquer the world when that day dawns. The heroes then realized that the demon's threats may not just be a bluff. They sealed the Palace entrance with the stars and the seal would remain for 1,000 years, the entrance to the palace would then go on to be known as The Thousand-Year Door. Realizing that others may need the stars in case the queen returns, they made a map of the stars in case other heroes would need them. To insure that the map only fell into pure hands, they placed it in a chest that could only be opened by one pure of heart.

 

The heroes all went their separate ways, spreading the crystal stars in secluded areas. The Goomba went back to the Boggly Woods where monsters were still attacking the Punis. To help them, the Goomba hollowed out a tree to serve as protection for the Punis. This would go on to be known as the Great Tree and the Punis promised to guard the crystal star in return. The Goomba soon became trapped in the chest, located within the Rogueport sewers. The Boo warrior went toward Twilight Town and hid the star in the Creepy Steeple, then was trapped in a black chest herself within an abandoned building, soon to be a shop in the dark town. The Koopa warrior went to a tropical island to hide the star, but it was stolen by the pirate Cortez. The Koopa was in such a weak state from his journey that he did not put up a fight. He soon became trapped in the chest within a wreaked ship and Cortez soon lost the Crystal Star among his various stolen treasures. The last hero was the Toad who became exhausted from his journey and his only option was to leave the star in the care of a stranger. The Toad met his inevitable fate of being trapped in the chest while the stranger would eventually be devoured by Hooktail along with the crystal star. The chest containing the Toad would be found by the dark army and locked away within Hooktail's castle to ensure that one of the heroes who destroyed their dark master would not be released.

 

While the war finally seemed to be over, there were other plans in effect to insure that the demon would return to the world. The Shadow Sirens began to spread rumors of a great treasure hidden in the earth beneath the location of the old city. People then constructed a town over the city, which soon became filled with thugs and robbers, hoping to claim the treasure for themselves. None of them knew that the treasure was actually a demon and that the rumor of the treasure was nothing more than a ruse in part of an insidious plot.

 

That is the entire backstory for just the shadow queen.

 

It sounds like something from Dnd.

 

 

And explain to me how "Find 8 items, stop the evil guy, disprove meany book" counts as a plot if this doesn't?

[Headmaster Monokuma]

The fact that you had to pay for it makes it all stupid. Who really wants to pay the Bar Guy for everything? I sure didn't.

[Nexev]

Then still, explain to me why SPM is a good plot when it boils down to "Kill meanyfaces, find 8 magic stuff"

 

That's just one magic stuff more than the prequal and it hardly counts as you already have it.

[Headmaster Monokuma]

They didn't make you pay for the backstory. That alone makes it seem more important to me. I mean, if they make you pay for it or you don't hear it, it's obviously not going to be too important, right?

[Nexev]

Actually you do pay for allot of it, like the origin of the pixls and stuff.

 

Which seprates the dark protagonist from "Scary book" and Bleck from "wa wa villian"

 

And Dimentio from "Magical joker or kefka ripoff"

 

No offense.

 

This in tern separates Shadow Queen from "Scary ancient sealed evil"

 

Which is exactly what she is anyway.

[Godot]

Shadow Queen is just a bigger version of the Shadow Sirens. Oh, and don't funk with Dimentio. His personality and backstory alone proves that SPM has the biggest plot of all Mario games.

[Nexev]

If you pay the bar tender. Which as Dane stated, nullifies the backstory anyway.

 

Dimentio doesn't look like one to explain the whole thing.

[Godot]

Well, his apparent insanity and his darkness is by far better then "Turtle spike shell rawr peach rape no plumber ooo."

 

Bartender doesn't nullify anything, Dane. That's like saying in TTYD the last chapter doesn't add to the plot because you have to "pay" the door all 7 of the Crystal Stars.

[Nexev]

Thank you.

 

Espically since Dimentio is evil clown, that's a trope.

 

So without the explaination of what he is besides starscream evil clown Tubba Blubba would be a more original and developed villian.

 

And you know what? That makes sense.

 

Dimentio is badass but just seemed like a violent smiley traitor man. With a theme song.

 

Tubba Blubba is a invincible monster who eats undead and removed his heart from his body to achieve immortality, beneath these lies a cowardly shell of a man who was constantly scared and bullied by the boos.

 

That makes a minor villian more developed.

 

Now while I love Tubba Blubba I will admit that Dimentio is the cooler of the two.

 

However if you negate the bar story then what happens is that Dimentio no longer is a plot worthy villian but a cliche blender like Arnold.

 

So Paper Mario would have MORE PLOT than SPM.

 

And we haven't even touched Super Star Saga, or Partners through time.

[Dark]

Partner's In Time had an amazing plot, imo. Since every single warp-level tied to the Shroobs somehow, and it all ended up at the end when the Shroob Princess revealed she had a sister (not really twin sister, lol).

 

It was kind of a linear plot, except for the tiniest plot twist, but the events building up to it were cool.

[Nexev]

I liked it too, you always felt something was going on behind the scenes but couldn't figure out what since Shroobs don't speak english.

[Dark]

Did Bowser's Inside Story have a decent plot, or did that just fail?

 

bowshur eat da ppl lulz

[Nexev]

I think it did but never played it yet.

Uh, yeah no. First off, I am unaffected by everything. You know why? I'm not taking part in this "Turn-Based Posting." Your attack is now hitting Eury, and it didn't KO Eury.

Godmodding much? Huh, you are just like that Pichu and War Torn guy you didn't want in this club. Oh, the irony.

 

But seriously, that was a mistake. For some reason I thought you posted before me, when it was ZeroChill. But oh well, I guess my attack failed. D':

 

If it was redirected to Eury, it would have KOd. Seriously, a +0 unboosted full-HP Flail from a Luvdisc can KO Eury.

No Dark, it isn't. How can you hit what isn't there? In this case, I'm not participating, and as such, hitting me is impossible, thus it can't effect me. Logic. :D

 

Okay, I'll give you the two hit K.O. on Eury. You have to give him a chance!

 

And I never said anything about War. That's Godot.
