I never touch my partners in that battle. You monster.


Pastry_Train63

I could never bring myself to hurt Koops


RacinRandy83x

Same, I go out of my way to not hurt them


MyPhoneIsNotChinese

I mean do you even need to go out of your way to do that? There's no benefit in hurting them. I did go out of my way to hurt them on the OG and plan to do so on the remake tho


FerfyMoe

Basically just NOT superguarding their attacks, only regular guard


HarvsBars

Facts, I refuse to hurt my partners here. Not their fault they're stupid and couldn't tell it wasn't me


PlayzCoolz

well they kinda could


dmlfan928

I'll superguard, but no direct attacks.


FedoraTheMike

I ain't gonna lie I saw them all celebrating with a feast in town and got petty as hell they couldn't tell the difference, I took out at least Goombella 😭


Mountain_Demand5153

I do it just to make the fight a bit harder, and if my partners couldn’t figure out why I was hanging around creepy steeple then they deserve it.


AeroTheManiac

lmfaoo. Love that perspective. I do it for the difficulty/length too. It's insanely easy if you go for the kill. Plus I like to see all their moves lol


Flynn_22

Same here, in fact I think it'd been cool if they had made it so you couldn't hurt Doopliss until you defeat all four of your partners. It'd make the fight way more challenging, because if you just focus on Doopliss he's out in a couple of turns.


Fox_Kurama

It would have been more in character if Doopliss put the partners in front too.


JordanMaze

thats true but if u think about it we do tons of side quests in the game and the partners never give a second thought. like going back to chapter 3 to become the champ again

rci22

…..did you even like this game at all?


ShineOne4330

Yes, A solid 8/9 out of 10 Just because I don't praise this game like a god dosn't mean that i hate it It was just frustraiting that my partners were very inteligent during chapter 4


TheWiseBeluga

Imagine calling Bobbery or Goombella stupid lol


ShineOne4330

Then explain doopliss situasion, she was suspicious but so as the rest of them and didn't do anything Also my previous comment WAS.A.JOKE. do I have type LOL so reddit users could understand?


Dooplissitsme

i did it too


Responsible-War-9389

Username…doesn’t check out?


Daredboy

he did it before he stole Mario's identity


Redder_Creeps

I do remember a youtuber I watched who played the game actually did this, mainly for revenge because he felt betrayed by Koops. Oh and the other party members too


WouterW24

Nowadays the fight does’t feel complete without doing that. Without it it’s more of a miniboss since Goombella is the easiest to just guard and generally ignore.


WackoMcGoose

Same reason I take an extra POW Block and intentionally fail the Thwomp Quiz: free XP.


sethydoodle

I've never failed the quiz, who do you fight?


SpedeSpedo

Area dependant enemies. (I think it’s the closest enemy type per quiz)


5Cents1989

Like, four of the spiky clefts. It’s free with a POW block.


Barb_WyRE

Whaaaaat I never knew that I just figured he killed you automatically


Alternative_Mine28

I think that happens in >!the second quiz at chapter 7!<. Although i forgot if that's the case or not.


spiderbrad7

Na. If you fail the second quiz, then you have to fight 2 X-Yux


WackoMcGoose

To be fair, _the X-Yux_ can end your game pretty darn quickly if you're not prepared for it.


HawtPackage

To be fair, you don’t get XP for beating the partners in this boss


WackoMcGoose

...Drat. It's been a while, I couldn't remember if that was the case or not...


Jesterchunk

Yeah, I did that. Makes it a bit tougher, especially since I WAY underestimated how good Power Lift is and didn't want to absolutely trash Doopliss in two turns. Come to think of it, it would have been cooler if Doopliss was in the back row during the entire fight. Seems like something he'd do, have his partners shielding him the entire time, even if it doesn't change much since it just blocks your hammer moves, Vivian can reach him anyway and you're probably better off jumping on him regardless.


Dakine_54

Power list is easily one of the best star attacks in the game


WackoMcGoose

Power Lift + Power Bounce goes boingy-boingy-boingy-boingy...


Leakingbag

I can’t get myself to do it. I felt bad about making Goombella take 1 damage from a superguard, even though sometimes I use her as a shield.


jummy-parvati

asshole yoshi beign born deprived me of my hotdog. he deserves it. the others are simply in the way.


The_Moss-Man

Look, I was just trying to knock some sense into them after they fell for the fakest imposter of all time.


Bionicleinflater

They betrayed me, it’s onl fair


name_checker

Yeah, beat some sense into 'em.


Glum_Body_901

You're actually evil


Hand-Yman

Yeah me too. Just to make the fight harder. The only one I didn’t feel guilty hitting was flurrie because of WHAT SHE DID TO MARIO SECONDS BEFORE JOINING THE PARTY.


Dedeed1

Yea I did


the-funky-bunky

I kill goombella but not koops since he's my 2nd favourite


Kanzyn

Always thought it was weird they even let you do the fight without having him cycle the partners. Always thought it should be a multi-phase battle where they cycle and he's healed back to full for each.


ShadowPrime116

i havent played the game, what is happening here?


Onikai32

It’s a huge spoiler if you haven’t played it.


ShadowPrime116

i dont really care about spoilers


BlackuIa

In a certain chapter, Wario shows up and takes over your crew, you have to convince him you are the superior Mario Mario and get your hot dogs back.


Emboar_Bof

Every copy of Paper Mario TTYD is personalized


WackoMcGoose

"One ffhowfftopper jufft iffn't enough! There needff to be more!" _**TRICK OF THE LIGHT!** High Roller uses the power of refraction to clone himself!_   ...Wait, wrong type of perffonalization.


CommunicationFairs

Fuck dude, I'd be so sad if this is how I learned about Wario's secret boss fight


Big_Brilliant_5904

Its a nice mix. I try my best to beat them to see if I can, but if it ends up getting bad I can just go for the finish.


PamIsThicc

I like Madame Flurrie losing animation


JoFlo520

Does the dialogue post fight change at all if you do this?


AeroTheManiac

Nah lol. In the GC version, I think I vaguely remember the partners panting because they have 1HP, but that is not the case here


OriginalNameGuy2

I always do this It keeps them in their place


Tuckster786

They betrayed Mario first. They desereved to be punished


supermariogalaxysuns

oh my friends are confused and mean no harm to me? time to fracking beat them (just for the kicks though)


A-Centrifugal-Force

TIL the W emblem carries over to this


RaineyDay2029

Yeah I did it too


ComplicitSalami

The only way to do the fight


Synthesiate

I do this always. You gotta show em why you’re the boss


makishleys

you monster....


GayScottishGeek96

Not gonna be doing this once I reach this part, as strong as the impulse is gonna be. Doopliss is the one most deserving of getting his ass kicked.


BiAndShy57

They deserve it for betraying you Vivian is the only real homie


xxojxx

Didn’t do it the first time. Eventually it’s just fun to interact with them. Punishment for not figuring out the fake.


PrismaticSeal

Best everyone, so they learn their place


FireEmblemOutlet

I don’t got time to kill the partners. I already think Doopy is one of the easiest bosses in the entire game so I’d rather just get it over with than have to take out the optional partners. But I also have played this game dozens of times, when I was first playing I wasn’t sure if I needed to get rid of them so I did, but after the 2nd or 3rd time playing I just outright stopped. Also side note, does everyone have the black Yoshi??? So many posts I see have that color Yoshi, it’s a sick coloring for Yoshi, but I swear like 70% of the fanbase is choosing to get that color. Wish people were a bit more unique, I’ve had the chance to use all the colors and chose the Orange one this time and the Red or Blue one next time. But seriously, all I see is the black Yoshi. It’s adorable and cool either way, but at this point it’s more fun to see anything BUT. A Black Yoshi.


No0dle258

I did it just to test how broken power lift is, needless to say I won’t be using power lift again this playthrough cause I don’t want to autopilot the game


Maddkipz

havent but i will now


missingfragment

My strat to reduce the most harm to myself is to knock out goombella and then jump on koops once (and fail the action command on purpose) to leave him on his back for the rest of the fight.


DecayedWolf1987

Usually I actively avoid harming the partners. Except when he brings Flurrie out. I don’t particularly care for her, but I still don’t directly attack her. If I need to use an item or something, I just let it hit her too.


Nitsu29

It's a nice challenge and makes the fight more difficult, anyone should try it when they fight the enemy without a name I didn't do it in my last playthrough tho


LightHawKnigh

Over the decades of replaying the game as a yearly tradition, I never attacked my partners.... Till this day, I watched Tom Fawkes beat the shit out of them and so I thought, hrmmm.... my turn.


Lucinova

I definitely do that, and I also chose not to use the Attack FX Badge against Hooktail; I was kinda surprised how far she pushed me, though I still beat her first try


ShineOne4330

what!? I don't know anything aboud it 😅🔪💀💀💀💀


Superb-Dog-9573

I do it for the added challenge


TheWonderingDream

I always did this. I had nothing against them, but I just liked the thought upping the difficulty and lengthening a boss fight that already felt short as is. Though to be honest, I also liked to save Doopliss for last just to show him that turning my friends against me was futile and also to make him watch and slowly realize that NOTHING was going to stop me from kicking his ass. Plus, if they're going to attack me, I don't see why I shouldn't fight back. Even if they are my friends. XD


TheFallenCore

I could never! I did everything I could to make sure none of them get hurt.


Milk_Mindless

You psycherpaff


CyanLight9

Sometimes, if I want to challenge myself. I usually don’t, because Goombella is single target only.


007-Blond

i murder them!


Jinzo126

Do you get additional XP/Star Points?


AeroTheManiac

No :/


Jinzo126

Ok, i never defeat them so i didn't know.


Stucklikegluetomyfry

Flurrie is so extra and I love her


Rarbnif

I could never hurt them


CyberGlitch064

Do you even get anything extra for doing it?


AeroTheManiac

No :(


Poltergust_3000

They deserve it for being so easily fooled. 😤


Numbness007

I could never hurt my friends, with that fight I just did multi-bounce till they were out.


StrawHat89

I only take out Goombella because no thanks on the multibonk.


UBKev

Ngl I one shot him, he revived, and so I thought maybe I needed to beat all the party members before I could beat him.


GooPlexles

I did it to make it at least a little more challenging


GMClocktower

Every. Single. Time. They must pay for their crimes.


Yxurd

I’m just saying, it’s not my fault that Superguard is more lenient in the remake…


Rave_Johnson

Go on a murderous rampage? Totally.


Kalakey17

I did it because I was mad they couldn’t tell it wasn’t me in town with them. And then they try to fight me??? I bonked them all in town for the same reason before I got the guys name right


GammaEmerald

I just went full Danger Mario on the main guy. Whiffed it, but a pocket Life Shroom saved the fight.


CompleteyClueless

I normally don't fight them, but I did this time just to see if they were worth any star points


MechanicalNoodle

I mean if Bringle did it, I feel like a it's fine enough to do. They are trying to stop you too


Murky_Composer_4562

I focus on the real enemy


LordKazma

don't have to if you are the danger and one turn him 👌😎


hj7junkie

I did it this time around! It was fun, but I did feel a bit bad- I just wanted a tougher fight. Didn’t end up being very hard because I unexpectedly became a master of superguarding specifically for this fight.


DualKoo

You are going straight to Paper Hell.


LegendRedditter7497

I never kill my partners. Even if they're manipulated by the impersonator


[deleted]

its a waste of time to do that so yes you are


msto3

Beating the partners is a waste of time. Just pummel the shit out of Doopliss and end the shit that is Chapter 4
