It is good news for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doora few days ago we learned that the video game had achieved in its debut, sweeping sales since its launch last may 23. But what should we expect from this franchise? If you haven’t bought it, what are you waiting for? From iGamesNews we bring you a small guide to Mario’s partners in this installment.
It seems strange, but yes, the colleagues in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door They are called “partners” at the time that Mario He recruits them as the story progresses. So don’t be surprised if you see them named this way throughout the text.
As you can imagine, each partner has a personality, appearance and, without forgetting, peculiar powers, which we will see throughout this article. We start the TOP 7 from Paper Mario with:
Partner ranking in Paper Mario TTYD: from worst to best
7. Shit. Mowz: who is considered the protagonist’s worst companion, we explain why.
- When can you recruit? The little mouse can be recruited starting in Chapter 4 of Paper Mario, but to do so players must have previously obtained a “Elusive badge.
- Powers? His overall attack power and HP are his low points. Besides that the special abilities of him, like Love Slap, which although they are interesting because they decrease the enemy’s ability, require several movements with the joystick. In addition, it has a unique benefit: stealing items from enemies with Kiss Thiefonly necessary at certain times.
6. Admiral Bobbery: considered a good tank, but not close to the best in the game
- When can you recruit? He is automatically recruited during the story in Paper Mario, so you won’t have to do anything different.
- Powers? He is an average tank with very good attacks, for example. But as in the case of Mrs. Mowz, Bobbery becomes one of the main options later: Bob-Omb, due to his explosive abilities.
Although at first it can inject power into the group, unfortunately, throughout the game another partner may possibly take its place.
5. Koops: that although it reaches great potential at the beginning, it ends up declining…
- When can you recruit? He is automatically recruited at the beginning of Paper Mario’s story.
- Powers? It has a wide variety of very useful attacks such as Power Shell o Shell Slam to defend Mario or hit multiple enemies, respectively.
Although, as in previous cases, Koops will not be spared from being replaced by other partners who fulfill their functions and go further. Still, we congratulate you for taking care of Mario during the early stages of his journey.
4. Madame Flurrie: Considered one of the best tanks in the game.
- When can you recruit? He is recruited during one of Paper Mario’s parties in a very “explosive” way.
- Powers? It has high HP. This HP is also compensated by one of his main abilities Lip Lock, which drains enemy HP. EITHER, Body Slam, a brutal bomb on enemies. But if we have to put in a TOP1 the ability of this tank would be Gale Force. This move sends enemies flying, instantly removing them from combat.
3. Goombella– A versatile partner, both in and out of battle
- When can you recruit? Recruited during the prologue of Paper Mario.
- Powers? His abilities are very similar to those of the protagonist, Mario. He has peculiar abilities such as: Headbonk o Multibonk, to hit one enemy and several, respectively. Something interesting about this partner is that she can use an ability called Rally Wink, and double the strength of the strongest partner in the game. It’s not crazy? But if all this is not enough for you, Goombella can also keep an eye on enemy stats with Tattle
2. Vivian: The antagonist that the plumber encounters, but who ends up joining his team.
- When can you recruit? He is recruited at the beginning, while Vivian and her sisters/companions try to hypnotize Mario. Later, they would fix his problems in Twilight Town. However, this relationship would become a ticking time bomb every now and then…
- Powers? Her power, after the latest corrections, makes her a partner who will accompany users throughout much of the adventure. She has different attacks, like Fiery Jink to attack multiple objectives. Veil to protect Mario the perky to deceive enemies.
1. Yoshi: considered the best companion in the game (and how could such a little dinosaur not be here)
- When can you recruit? You recruit by completing Glitz Pita combat glove that can be found in Glitzville.
- Powers? The partner has different ways of attacking, such as: Ground Pound, Gulp to swallow an enemy; Mini eggsto attack several enemies and give them the Reduction debuff…, among others, so it can be a good combination with Goombella.
Also, for those who like to customize their own character, Yoshi has the possibility to do so once it hatches from the egg. Players can name it whatever they want or choose its color.
