Atari made an oopsie and sent me the Switch 1 edition of Bubsy 4D... but I ordered it on Switch 2. I played this inferior version and experienced a weird glitch where everything slowed down severely.

![Paper Marios Fandom Explained With a Broken Family Analogy [Redux]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f2z6jTUcybM/mqdefault.jpg "Paper Marios Fandom Explained With a Broken Family Analogy [Redux]
Paper Mario fans have been seriously divided for a long time now. While Super Paper Mario made waves by switching up the formula, Sticker Star marked a complete separation from the games that came before it as a new direction for the series, which now has a trilogy of its own with Color Splash & The Origami King.
Starting with Sticker Star, the more recent three focused far less on unique characters & battles in favor of paper-related gimmicks. Because of this, I suggest we unofficially split the fandom into two separate branches: the first set of games can be called the Mario Storybook trilogy, and the second set the Mario Pop-Up Book or the Literal Paper Mario trilogy.
This video remakes my original analogy explaining what it feels like to be a fan of Paper Mario today, and then elaborates on why Super Paper Mario has more in common with the first two games than the modern ones. This is all in the hope that we can all unite again through different communities.

I’m back with Dark Aspects of the MOTHER series! This time, I’m looking at the second game—the SNES cult classic, EarthBound. This is a remake of my earliest video on the channel analyzing the infamous Giygas theory. Before we get there though, I’m going to see how far the game is willing to go in tackling the scary, shocking, and suggestive. Topics of today include Pokey/Porky’s family life, Prince Poo’s Mu training, and Moonside…
