Games we SHOULD of had - Paper Bowser

Hello everyone out there, I welcome you to the first “Games we should have had”. First thing, a little explanation in case ya missed the explanation vid. I’m gonna be making a list of games we as gamers should of had.

I will explain the plot of the game and a few of the characters, then do a walkthrough of what the first level would be like.

My first game to talk about is one that actually got me to want to do this. A game that should have been the sequel of 1000 year door: Paper BOWSER!!!

Why, why, why don’t we have a game where we can play as Bowser? Sure we could play the super Mario themed levels as Bowser in 1000-year door, but why can’t he be a fully playable character? Well, if this game existed, we could!

Paper Bowser is the story following 1000-year door, the shadow queen has been defeated, and peace has returned to the world. We shift to Bowser, who’s brooding over his beating in the palace of Shadow, being emo about his existence, until Kammy Koopa runs in. Kammy informs Bowser of a new magical item that has been discovered, a magical powder that is in the possession of an old Magikoopa, and Bowser scoffs at the idea and says: Yeah, I’ve heard that before, skip it… So, Kammy calls up the first new character, a Koopa Troopa soldier named: Kaiser, who wears a small amount of armor covering his torso, a red cape, and he uses a sword instead of his fists or his shell. Kammy sends Kaiser out to the base of a mountain that the Magikoopa lives on. Kaiser walks through a typical plains setting until he reaches the mountain. He spots an old man out front selling lanterns, but no matter how much money you’ve got, you can’t afford one. So the man makes you a deal, he will lend you a lantern if you escort him to the springs on the top of the mountain. Enter a typical cave area, with swoopers and cave goombas in it, until you get to the end, where you’ll fight the first boss: The cave guardian, a huge magical rock monster. Defeat the guardian and the old man will reveal himself to be the old Magikoopa. The Magikoopa will commend you on your kindness and award you with the powder, and he will thank you and mention to you to use the powder in kindness. Kaiser returns to Bowser’s Keep, but thinks that he should test the powder first instead of risk it hurting Bowser. So Kaiser uses some of the powder, and POOF, he has fire breath like Bowser. Kaiser cheers for himself and hurries off to Bowser. Bowser takes the powder, and Kammy congratulates Kaiser. As Bowser sprinkles all the powder on himself, he disappears in a huge puff of smoke, and as the smoke disappears, Bowser has been transformed into a baby! The Magikoopa appears and tells Bowser of his fate. Having used the Powder with evil intentions, Bowser has been weakened, rather than strengthened. And so the story begins as Bowser learns that to return himself to normal, he must seek out, others like him that have used the powder for evil and defeat them to undo the magic of the powder.

Now, the first level after the prologue, I’m not counting Kaiser’s level, even though that section is the first level, I’d like to actually explain the first level where you can use Bowser as a playable character.

The first level: the haunted forest.
Bowser, Kaiser and Kammy Koopa go off into the forest to find the first magical successor, which is what the bosses will be called in this game. And like all the other Mario games that came before it, you’ll have to go through each level to defeat a boss and collect something, I tried to work around it, but we’ll see if you like what I came up with. So, off they go into the forest. The enemies in this level will be the typical forest enemies: Fuzzies, Piranha Plants, wolfos (from Mario rpg) and a new group of enemies I came up with: Toad renegades and Toad Zombies. Toad renegades are like the thieves in Zelda link to the past, they’ll be out to stab the crap out of you and steal your items and coins. But toad zombies will be along the lines of just eating your brains. So getting past them will lead you to a large clearing with a temple in it, you’ll venture inside to find one giant room, and the first magical successor: Bink, the fuzzy. Now I know what youre saying: Come on T, a fuzzy is the first boss? Come on, where’s your brain? Well gentle impatient viewer, Bink is a GIGANTIC red and black fuzzy that uses dark magic to turn people into fucking stone! There’s your ingenuity!!! After defeating Bink, he will return to normal, granting you the item you must collect after each boss battle. Bink will give you a stone that can be taken to the sorceress sisters from the other paper Mario games to unlock new abilities for your characters. For example, Kaiser gets bigger weapons; Bowser gains his white, then purple and black fire breath and a bunch of different things for all your different characters:

Cliff the renegade hammer brother
Malcolm the Magikoopa
Kaida the Dragoness
Bernie and the Bullet Blaster
And Brielle the Sorceress

Some of these characters also open side quests for you to go on. Cliff is a bounty hunter, which opens up a tavern you could never go into, where you can enlist yourself to go after boss-like enemies for a number of coins or rare items upon the target’s demise.

Now, I said I’d do one level, but I actually planned out the whole game for shits and giggles in preparation for this video, so I’ll tell you about the ones I like the most.

Level eight: Bowser’s Keep
Yes, that’s right, Bowser’s Keep. It seems that Bowser’s plan to keep his being turned into a baby secret from his troops by putting a magical clone in his place while he was gone. But the clone was destroyed by a general of the Koopa Troop, Slade the Koopa General. Slade has taken over Bowser’s Castle and has rallied his troops against him. Bowser must then fight his own forces and take down Slade. Except for Slade, there are some other enemies that you must fight too. Koopa soldiers, Elite Koopa soldiers, Giant Goomba robots and of course Magikoopas.

Oh, and I’m sure I should tell you the final bosses too, since, well, I doubt this game will ever be made, but as you fight your way into Peach’s castle, you will first have to fight Luigi, then Mario, then Mario and Luigi together, basically steroidally ripped on star power.

So with the Mario brothers defeated, Bowser levels Peach’s castle, his army is ransacking the mushroom kingdom and Bowser has captured Peach and is laughing manically as Mario and Luigi sit in his jail. And the game comes to and end, with, of course, an optional epilogue, allowing the game to continue as 1000 year door did…
