You have 10 seconds to come up with a Paper Mario partner

You have 10 seconds to come up with a Paper Mario partner.

a shyguy with rad sunglasses who acts like a drill sergeant

...

A racing-obsessed dry bones who thinks he's cool but is too soft

Pierre the Paratroopa Pornstar

A sentient coin with pink hair

paper mario characters are the sonic OCs of Mario

Luigi disguised as a common enemy.

A Dry Bones dressed up as the grim reaper who's also deaf. Sound-based attacks can't hurt him, and he can remove his own head to go down small passages Mario cannot fit in.

Dr Eggman was the first thing I thought of for some reason.

Wise Guy, Shy Guy thug who works for the Pianta family. He's their best goon, but he'll never be a true member of the family since he's just a Guy.

t. Miyamoto

hammer bro that runs a construction company, he can build you platforms in the overworld

One of those cannons that doesn't want to shoot bullets anymore, so he shoots nice things like confetti and items; he'd be a support partner. Final attack would be fireworks that inspire Mario and other partners or something; maybe it hurts airborne enemies and he's sorry about that.

I legitimately will not be surprised if we get a mobile paper mario game with emoji attacks at this point

A Bandit that can steal items from enemies and first attacks Mario, stealing his hammer.

a thwomp on wheels that uses sick tricks to attack

Stereotypical Aussie Boomerang Bro

Pianta with floaties. Can cross short water areas and Chuck Mario at enemies

kek

Holy shit. Wanting to tag along he refuses to break character no matter how painfully obvious it is. 10/10

Koopa Guy Fierri

A Toad with a Luigi mask and clothes who is a secret Joke Partner that deliberately fucks up Mario`s attacks

A Chuckya that is a wrestler who acts hard and tough on the outside, but is shy and insecure outside of the stage while still rash. All of his attacks involve throwing Mario in different ways.

Arab shyguy with a scimitar

>wears a hardhat
>has a yellow/black chevroned shell
I can see this and I love it.

This is fucking glorious user.

A highly intelligent piranha plant that chomps on a keyboard to type out hacks to deal damage

I fucking hate Tanabe.

Tsundere pipe girl who has a sassy piranha plant that comes out and tries to get the two together, and Mario stays oblivious
Originally this was going to be a joke but now it sounds like a decent idea

A koopa who wants to be part of the Koopatrol but can't due to inexperience that dresses up in cardboard armor. Maybe you fight him at the start of the game as the tutorial boss, then he joins you later and has an ability similar to Lady Bow in that he can hide you in a cardboard box.

what if,
we had a shyguy,
but he was a she,
and looked like a human?

A Rex in a body cast that's super pissed at Mario because he's one of the Rexes that Mario stepped on in Mario World. He slowly warms up to Mario, and maybe he can do things like light torches or help launch cannons.

Why? Partners are gone for good.

Just our imagination wishing what would happen when Kensuke "A partner is a martyr to me" Tanabe.

A Piranha plant inside a detached pipe with wheels to get around. Wants to travel the world and is always smiling. Could bite enemies or spit fire at them. Overworld ability would be Mario could jump in the pipe and it would shoot him upwards, like the ultra boots.

A shy guy who lost his mask, and uses other masks that he's found as temporary replacements. Before uses specific attacks he would change his mask to whatever one went with that attack. Like, one would be a snifit mask to shoot a projectile. No idea what overworld ability would be.

A Chargin Chuck who knows everything there is to know about any sport, but is terrible at all of them. Attacks would be charging, throwing baseballs/footballs, multiplying himself, etc. Overworld ability allows him to hold Mario like a football and charge full speed in one direction and wont stop until he smashes into a wall, destroying certain cracked walls.

That shy guy idea is really neat.

A veteran toad guard who is depressed about failing to protect Peach.

that spiked buzzy beetle with a wrench instead of a spike from ttyd

A Goomba who's Luigi's biggest fan and adventures with Mario because it's the next best thing to adventuring with Luigi. You meet Luigi at various intervals throughout the story and Luigi always postures for the fanboying Goomba but usually embarrasses himself in doing so.

A ghost Shy Guy who wields a proportionately big-ass spectral sword. Hits hard and is a good swap for what Mario needs a turn or two to heal up. Overworld, he can cut open fragile walls with his ghost blade.
>lost mask Shy
He'd be a starter with the equivalent of Tattle, since he lost his mask, started a collection of masks of almost every enemy in the game and so he can tell you stuff about almost everyone.

A Magikoopa that works as a game dev that can turn enemies into items at low health. His overworld ability has him turn blocks into Goombas that can hold buttons down temporarily before turning back into blocks.

A Ninji that's godawful at stealth and just rushes at the enemy the instant she sees them. Maybe she can throw shurikens that can act as platforms.

A gangster Shy Guy named "Sly Guy" that functions as the starting partner of the game. Maybe instead of Tattle he rats out the enemies he used to work with.

The plot (I guess) is about Bowser finding a gigantic pile of treasure, only to be taken control of by a golden Phanto mask named "Specto" that later takes control over Bowser's Kingdom and soon the Mushroom Kingdom and robs most people of their gold.

chain chomp doggo

CDi Mario.
The crossover no one except YTPers in 2007 wanted!

An old, rusty Bullet Bill who acts like a war veteran. He can fly mario across gaps before running out of gas.

A lava version of the Spikes that can throw hot balls of lava at enemies to both melt walls and beat enemies, but simultaneously hurting himself by 1 HP.

And lastly, a Crayzee Dayzee as an optional partner that works as a famous singer that wants to live a life that isn't of popularity. She can send certain characters to sleep, allowing you to go to areas you couldn't before and get items/coins.

Now that I'm done, how do all these sound?

a friendly snake with a lisp

his name is Lisssssssp

A chargin chuck that suffered a concussion and had to retire.

Partners are cool enough, but what about bosses? Throw your ideas here.

I've been wanting a Shy Girl partner for as long as I remember but I feel all the smut artists have ruined the unique appeal of it.

I like this, or in fact, any Chain Chomp partner

Giant Toad made of Toads that attack Mario by screeching

>It also attacks with stickers until it's at 10% health, where it runs out of stickers

1. take any mario enemy
2. give them curves & 1 minor cosmetic difference

Thanks for joining the thread Miyamoto! Really shows you do care about the series.

not Watt and Vivian

An obese Mario fan disguised as Mario who also has cheap knockoffs of Mario's partners.
He has the same abilities as you and he will start with the same knockoff partner of yours. He's a recurrent enemy in the series.

Aaaaaand now I'm mad. Thanks.

>Paper Mario: Document Doxxer

General Guy in a toy helicopter that fires down confetti bombs, toy rockets, and bullet bills.

This one's much better than the other suggestions.
General Guy is a fun concept in general.

Toad. No wait

TWO TOADS

This thread makes me sad because Paper Mario Switch is probably not coming untill another 3-5 years

What about...
A Siamese Toad.

A Goomba right, a Goomba but with, now follow me here cause this is where it gets good, a Goomba but with some sort of silly head wear. Like a hat or something.

Astounded businessmen.png

Shy guy one is my favorite in the thread so far.

Toadette

A Weeaboo Goomba who stuns everyone with his annoying high pitched voice

A Goonie.

Plays just like Parakarry.

The Shy Guy you can talk to on the train in Color Splash.

Cute cute!

He's dead user. You kill him later.

A captcha that changes its appearance based on the surroundings.

There will also be a captcha-based boss that you beat by attacking street signs and turning the console off and on again.

He could have been a partner in a real Paper Mario game.

A floating toad head with no personality who does nothing signifigant, he's also the only partner in the game.

Or a Monty Mole.

Plays just like Bow/Vivian.

>Mouser as a DJ where you have to follow the rhythm of the music or bombs will drop on you
>A football squad of Chargin' Chucks lead by a Koopa referee who will pull things on you like losing your total HP or FP temporarily
>A gigantic blooper wearing a wrecked ship as armor that can fire cannonballs and ink at you
> A gigantic piranha plant that's taken over an entire sewer system with it's vines
>A chain chomp attatched to a bullet bill blaster that eats your partner, forcing you to fight alone
>A Toad thief who gets rid of other characters and takes their identities
>A whomp made of molten magma that has covered up it's weak point
>A possessed Bowser fight that slowly turns into what is essentially Mario's own version of 02

Were there any optional bosses in Sticker Star and Color Splash?

Ghost Guy.

All the bosses are optional because you have the choice to stop playing at any time

Rephrase: Were there any optional bosses in Sticker Star and Color Splash if I wanted to beat the game and roll credits?

No.

Punk Birdo

Thank you.

Actually asking Sup Forums, did I do good on these?

An alt right toad that screams buzzwords and racist slurs when he gets hit

I like the bullet bill idea.

Geno and Mallow

Just check Deviantart

Thanks, lets me know that I can write well.

...

Still the best partner idea I've had so far has been the first one, a gangster gloomba named Gloombob to be the new goomba.
Instead of being booksmart, he knows all his shit from his connections.
And one day, he will lead the Goomafia as the Goomfather.

Other ones I've had have ranged from good to uncertain, but the real problem is making them look good/not too over-designed.

Very nice numbers, but why not make a Mario All-stars crossover? Super Mario, Cartoon Mario, Bob Hoskins Mario, CDi Mario, and Paper Mario, all together in an adventure
who else?

I agree.
That's starting to come together I see. Don't remember those side building from previous shots.

Live action Lou Albano Mario, Mario head, and anime movie Mario.

DEREET DIS THREAD

Is he a Toad?

Holy shit that's not a bad idea.

I want this now
>Every other partner is normal
>Theres just a fucking coin with hair
