Today I'll talk about meeting Paper Mario and getting used to him in our team.
Sunbeam Plains is full of those X holes, but we don't have the ability to excavate them yet. In previous games, you'd get stat boosting beans from them.
We meet a green Paper Toad, but he gets spooked by a real Goomba and runs through a small crevice between two rocks to escape. Poor Luigi tries it out for size and gets his nose stuck! He pulls it out though, and we continue exploring and beating up more Goombas.
The real Goombas attack faster than the Paper Goombas so that's something to look out for.
There are also these poles around the place. Must have something to do with Paper Mario when we meet him.
Soon, we run into a group of Paper Goombas arranged like a V shape. One of them seeks revenge and they all gang up on us, turning into a big paper wheel! They knock Mario & Luigi out... Oh no!
Just then, Paper Mario floats in! He's able to deal with them while the real Mario Bros. are unconscious. Starlow gives him the Copy Block the Paper Toads gave us. His actions use the Y button and he can do a high flutter jump. The 6 copies add extra damage and alleviate taken damage, which comes in handy. Copying will cost a turn.
The music changes to the standard battle theme for this game too. Will we ever hear the other theme again? Not sure. Maybe if they separate? Anyway, I like the main battle theme. I'll see how I feel about it as the game goes on.
The Paper Goomba wheel gets smaller and eventually we beat them! Afterwards, Luigi gives Paper Mario a big crumply hug during introductions. Paper Mario and real Mario greet one another with twirls and somersaults! We all team up for the adventure!
Starlow tells us to jump over a few steps to get used to things and man it feels a bit weird. If I want them to jump all together I have to press Y, B and A, holding my thumb horizontally across them. Otherwise I'd hit X. Let's see how it goes. There are a few blocks here too that Paper Mario can hit. These are marked with a yellow P.
