Caution-- thar be spoilers ahead!

So I was playing Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door last night (loving the game by the way, thank you to everyone that told me to play it) and I was at Twilight town collecting the red star for Chapter 4 (the one with the pigs and creepy steeple).

I made my way through the steeple expecting a place as large and complicated as every other dungeon and as drawn out.  To my surprise it took no time at all to get to the final boss!  I thought maybe I had missed something but I soldiered on and fought him.  To my disappointment this guy was actually easier than the enemies I faced on the way to the creepy steeple and I was pretty upset with chapter 4 when I finished the fight.

I thought maybe since it was half way through the game they had given up on hooking the player and just do good enough instead of the phenomenal everything else had been.

So I saw the chapter end screen and expected to see something about Peach but the screen went back to the creepy steeple and just sat there.

The Hell?

I waited about 15 seconds and finally tried to move and to my surprise the shadow I had fought walked out!

Long story short, from there I think this chapter turned into one of my favorite.  It totally had me fooled and thought it was just a half-assed chapter but turned out to be *really* cool and even got another character I really wasn't expecting to join my party!

So yea, kudos to Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door.

Haha!

Yeah, that was an awesome chapter! I initially thought it was weird that the "boss" went down so easily, but when it reverted back to gameplay immediately after I had supposedly collected the star, I knew something had to be up!

Glad you're enjoying the game - I loved it.

Just so you know there's a secret boss in that place...

Hah, I remember that. I knew something was up, and I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I really should get Super Paper Mario. I don't care if some people didn't like it, Intelligent Systems hasn't let me down yet.

Is this the first time you play the game? If so.. prepare for a big shock at the last boss fight.

I loved that chapter, had me fooled too.

Although, chapter 3 is may favorite...

Yeah, Doopliss (I'm hoping you're past the part where you don't know his name. Sorry if I spoiled it. ) is one of my favorite villains, due to his use of the word "slick" and the fantastic nature of that entire level.

Plus, it's so much fun to beat up on your partners for abandoning you in your time of need. In fact, by the time I finished the final battle, every partner was knocked out (Served them right!).

Yeah, Creepy Steeple was great on all accounts, and the fact that you team up with Vivian (my favorite PM partner thus far) puts it as a personal favorite area of mine. Oh, and people transforming into pigs? Awesome.

Oh, and be prepared to see more of the great Doopliss.

I didn't realize that until the credits. :P

I'm so happy to hear you're loving this game, Twesterm!!!!! TTYD is definitely one of the greatest masterpieces of video games ever! =D
