Stop motherfreaking failing to load after I just typed out the ENTIRE OP!!!!

Ahem, anywho, last year I took the Bonetail B4 Hooktail challenge, where as the name implies, you go down the Pit of 100 Trials and defeat Bonetail before beating Hooktail and Chapter 1. It's the only way to prove that one is a Paper Mario master! So after much preparation and mustering up the courage to go through with it, I finally managed to beat it after just two tries! Words cannot describe how gratifying it was to come out succesful after hours and hours of intense battles and all the nerve-racking preparation before each one, now knowing that I'm one of the few who've accomplished this feat. It was simply one of the greatest moments in my gaming career!

So why am I even bringing this up now? Well no reason really. I just had the urge to play Paper Mario again, and so I was gonna do so via beating the Bonetail B4 Hooktail challenge once more, then decided I wanted to talk about the challenge here, so yeah! How many of you here have completed this challenge? If you haven't even tried it yet, then what are you waiting for!?

I thought beating Bonetail was a massive achievement by itself, but damn... That is hardcore.

What's even more hardcore is that I beat him while having a Dry Bones audience!

Which paper mario is this?

The Thousand Year Door of course!

RolStoppable said: Sounds like a big accomplishment. So you basically get enough star pieces to get an attack+ badge and a few shine sprites to power up Gumbrina and go for it? While you are relatively weak, you sure will get a level up after a every few battles, so stocking up on HP and FP shouldn't be that big of a deal. However, floor 81-99 should be rough going and the boss on floor 100 must be nightmarish.

Basically yeah, as there are 15 accessible Star Pieces and only enough Shine Sprites for one rank up. I went with Mega Rush P, so I used the most of my star Pieces on Item Hog and Heart Finder to help maintain a peril partner. Also you can buy Sleepy Sheeps at Rogueport and sell them for a 2 coin profit in Petalburg, earning shop points while doing so for Ultra Shrooms and what not, but I was way too impatient for that! Oh, and probably the most important thing is that you have to be a pro at stylish moves and atleast semi-decent at super guarding!

Guess I'm the only Paper Mario Master here. :L

Do you have pics? :3

Holy sh*t that's insane. I have only done this once and it was just before chapter 8, and even then the last 10 floors were a pain in the ass (Bonetail itself wasn't that hard imo). Can't even imagine doing this so early in the game. Congrats dude!

I could take some tomorrow, though they'll be after the fact of course. Hopefully I stopped playing on that file right after beating Bonetail so that it's easy to tell I completed it legitimately.
