Video concept inspired by 2IC's comment:
"If you had to live in one city/settlement in the Paper Mario universe, which would it be and why?"
Got me thinking about specifically Paper Mario, including nearly every in-doors place in the game!

    Sign up for Skillshare: skl.sh/zoomzike08221 Answer the big question! If you had to live anywhere in the Paper Mario N64 world, where would it be?
  • I like the idea of Mario going around the world talking to his companion as though he's a real estate agent, barging into people's houses and delicately smashing their furniture and walls with his hammer going "I think this is both a bench and a treasure chest." then immediately leaving and going next door to do it again
  • The sewers could have been considered more, 1. Bloopers live with you 2. If the green water deters you, place blue food coloring in in 3. The empty rooms can be used as a living room, place a carpet maybe. 4. At night you can come out and steal from the shops, nobody will know where you live. 5. Amazing access to some places in the mushroom kingdom, the blue pipes allow you to traverse easily 6. If you want you could charge people for using the blue pipes in your house getting rich enough to get a better house. Anyways I would live in the koopa bros. Castle

    Most of locations in paper Mario feel really cozy. One of the many reasons it’s my favourite game! I would choose to live in the yoshi village on lava lava island. Sure it doesn’t have the most modern houses, but it’s right next to a beach, has plenty of cool scenery’s and places explore through the island, and who wouldn’t wanna have a yoshi as a neighbour!
  • When I was a kid I thought Shiver City looked like the most inviting place I could imagine. All the houses seemed so cozy
  • That one secret room you pass through before you can fight the champion in chapter 3 of TTYD with a table and a TV was always very cozy
  • 2:00 that's called a veranda, I believe. 6:00 The house with the exploding bob-omb is Kooper's house. So if you picked that house, Kooper would be your roommate. 13:40 The bridge would be great for like a massive roof party or something. 30:00 That is a record player, it plays vinyl records, great for the people who collect them. 33:00 I'm pretty sure Tubba Blubba had nothing to do with Gusty Gulch being rundown. Also just realized, you should have done something with Goombario's tattles for the different rooms because he will usually comment on what he likes and dislikes on a room. My picks would be Koopa village or Shiver City, for the "I'm just some average guy, looking for a place to live." If I had the resources, I would build a house at Goomba village where Mario landed. Also, if Peach was cool with it, I would live at her castle. Although, it does mean, I would have to get used to Bowser kidnapping Peach every Tuesday, and possibly getting mixed in all the antics of the mario gang, but I would say worth it. And yeah, I would never evict someone.
  • @theaa47
    Fun Fact: I live in Mario's walls!
  • Prefer the idea of a scenario like this where you end as a random inhabitant of the kingdom like a Koopa or Goomba rather than Mario. Gives you more to think about on your decision of where to live.
  • This may be against the rules but I would definitely go to Shy Guys' Toybox first and learn how their shrinking toybox magic works, then use that to create a very small mansion kept inside one of the small Koopa Village houses. Very efficient!
  • I know it's from ttyd, but riverside station always felt otherwordly to me, the sunset and the music pairing up really well to create a magical mood, just like sirena beach. Also the map description mentions that the area has locals but you don't see many aside from two train worker toads that just stay there, beside an abandoned and hostile infested station, after the express leaves.
  • @MenwithHill
    This is so cool, I actually inventoried all the housing in Paper Mario 2 as a kid. Always loved thinking about that world.
  • @asdunlavey
    I cannot wait for the Super Paper Mario episode where we literally end up in hell. 😀
  • Paper Mario is one of those games that simply no matter the location is always finding a way to cheer ya up in some way from the glorious OST or the colourful cast like the partners or heck even King Koopa himself. If I had to pick a place to pluck my weary head with some good folk to share my tales with, It would be the sun baked regions of Dry Dry Desert and Lava Lava Island. They are just too adventurous to pass up exploring even if I'd get robbed by Bandits amidst the sea of endless sand or getting looped around by the aroma of the Jade Jungle. Not to mention THE famous duo of Koopa explorers consisting of a blue and bold adventure loving hero and a stubborn yet foolhardy Koopa with a fine mustache have made a name for themselves out on the wilderness. "sighs" I hope they are doing fine work out there as I have done over these last few months... After all a bone dry desert and a mysterious island with an active volcano are an explorer's bread and butter. I mean who doesn't like exploring an unknown frontier filled with lost history and shiny jewels? Some expeditions just don't ever fall out of style I tell ya that!
  • @ScottE-2
    I was just re-visiting Paper Mario and got passed chapter 2. Good timing today, yeah I want to say Paper Mario's world is probably some of the comfiest worlds I've seen in the Mario series to visit. I hope someday to make a video talking about what I love about the first more so than the sequel.
  • @skirdus367
    I know this is about Paper Mario 1 specifically, but honestly, who wouldn't want to live in Boggly Woods from TTYD if given the chance
  • What a video! The attention to detail, the comedy, the overall effort! Awesome analysis as always Zike lol
  • I’d live in Shiver City or Starborn Valley. Snowy areas with any wooden cabin are just my type of living space to be honest. I like the coziness of it all.
  • I'm late but I wanted to say this video was really well done! (The stealth skill share ad at the end there, it made me laugh given how unexpectedly it appeared)
