It's time to delve into Bobby & Olivia's story. In this second video in a two part analysis on The Origami King, I'm going to look at the most unexpectedly darkest moment in Mario's history since Super Paper Mario. Topics include how this game's sacrificial characters compare to others of the same series, and the apparent ephemeral nature of mass-produced Bob-ombs. As per series tradition, we'll also look at the non-conventional game-overs this game adds to its lineage!

A remake of my Dark Aspects of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door analysis for GameCube, now covering the remake on Switch! I go much more in-depth on topics like the sad history of the seediest locale Marios ever visited (Rogueport), the Shadow Queens pet dragon Hooktail, and the many non-standard game overs (like reading Ghost T.s diary on the Excess Express).

The second part in my exploration of the Dark Aspects from the N64 classic, Ocarina of Time. This time, I focus on the horror-inspired elements found in each dungeon of the game (like the perplexing traps of the Forest Temple, and the Goron prisoners of the Fire Temple gathered as sustenance for an evil deity).
