Two-Tailed Playthrough – Super Mario RPG Part 7 “The Kindom is Saved… For the Moment.”

We’ve finally reached the end. It took me longer than I thought it would but I got through Super Mario RPG. In this part I head into Bowser’s Keep and overcome numerous (easy and fun) challenges to reach the top of the castle. At the top I fight Exor, the giant sword that pierced the castle in the beginning of the game. He goes down somewhat quick and sucks me in to Smithy’s world where he is making his weapons. Once there I head back to Mario’s world and pick up a couple things then head back to Smithy’s and make my way to his factory.

Along the way I take out several enemies including remade versions (much weaker) of previous enemies and bosses. I also take out Count Down (alarm clock from hell) and Cloaker and Domino (wannabe terrible duo). With them out of the way I head into Smithy’s Factory and take out his workers before fighting him in the final showdown.

Smithy is a lengthy fight but it’s not hard, especially at my level. His first form goes down rather quick and then the real fight begins. I’ve never gotten as many freebies with Rock Candy as I did in this run. It wouldn’t have mattered if I got them or not but it did make things go a little faster. Smithy eventually goes down and we get to see a great ending. I hope you enjoyed my playthrough of Super Mario RPG. I know it’s been done a thousand + times over but I wanted to do it anyway. I’ll be back soon with my next Two-Tailed Playthrough. What it is…. you’ll have to wait and see.

Two-Tailed Playthrough – Super Mario RPG Part 4 “Sink and Walk”

Posted in Tailz64 with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 22, 2008 by tailz64

Hey everyone sorry for the delay in getting this part up. Had some issues with my mic and emulator but I got it sorted out and was able to get the next part done. In this part I crash Booster’s wedding and rescue the princess (for the 6th time now), then fight the angry cooks and their cake. They made a mean cake (no pun intended) but it goes down easy and we can finally leave. I take the princess back to her kindom and we tell the Chancellor about all that’s happened. The princess has to sneak out of the castle to join me again but when she does she’s mine for good (or until Bowser captures her again, but that’s another game). So it’s off to Tadpole Pond to ask Frogfucius about the whereabouts of the next star.

He tells us he heard of a Star falling on Star Hill, the place where wishes are granted. So I head there and get the only star in the game I don’t have to fight for. If only they were all this easy. With that star in hand I proceed onward to Seaside town. The town looks peaceful but you can just tell something is wrong. The elder seems like he was waiting for me and asks me to get him the star that fell into the Sea. So I head into the Sea where I do a nifty level up trick to get me a few fast levels, then proceed into my favorite area of the game, the Sunken Ship. The ship was attacked by a giant squid (go figure) and sunk into the ocean. The crew managed to trap the squid in the treasure hold but they lost the treasure because of that. I eventually fight said squid and defeat it, then go further in and fight Johnny Jones for the Star. Johnny is a tough cookie (not really) but he goes down easy and gives me the star and his friendship (yay?).When I head back to town I find the Elder and his followers waiting for me. He reveals himself as Yaridovich, one of Smithy’s followers (did anyone not suspect that?) and demands the Star. Fearing he’ll do something to the townsfolk (not really, just wanted to save time) I hand over the star only to chase after him and fight him for it. Yaridovich and his cronies are waiting for their ship, which is late, and when they see me they decide to swim for it. Before they can jump in the sea Johnny and a couple of his crew members jump out and stop him.

Johnny is none too happy about them stealing the star he gave to his mate and is ready to clobber him. I’m all for letting him kill Yaridovich but his crew members stop him, telling him I should do it. So Yaridovich and his cronies combine and transform into (Voltron! No I’m lying) a giant… thing and the battle begins. He’s not too hard but it’s a little lengthy but I take him down in the end. With him defeated I get the star back and the key to the shed where the real villagers were being held. After freeing everyone I can make use of the shops.

Two-Tailed Playthrough – Super Mario RPG Part 3 “Old enemies, new allies”

Posted in Tailz64 with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 8, 2008 by tailz64

Hey everyone welcome to part 3. In this part I discover the calamity of Moleville is two children and an adult are stuck in the mine. No one can get into the mine so it’s up to me to rescue everyone since Mario is the only one who can jump high enough to get in. So I make my way through the mine and run into Croco again, who steals all my coins and takes off. When I finally catch him I fight him again and when he’s down I get my coins back and a bomb, which is needed to go deeper into the mine to where the kids are. I find the missing adult, the kids’ father, waiting by a wall that was caved in and we use the bomb to blow it away. Shortly after going through I run into Punchinello, the cause of the cave in and next boss. He also has the third Star Piece.Punchinello goes down after a bit of a fight and his big bomb blows up, covering the party in soot. The Star Piece gives them a shower of sorts and cleans the soot off them. With the third Star Piece in hand I head deeper into the mine and finally find the kids, Dyna and Mite. We all ride back in a minecart and the parents are happy to see their kids alive and well.

With the crisis over I rest at the inn and pick up a few items before heading on to Booster’s Tower. Standing at the entrance to the tower I find Bowser, contemplating his next move. While he thinks we find that Toadstool is stuck on the balcony at the top floor of the tower. Bowser decides to join me by letting me join his Koopa Troop and we make our way through the tower to rescue the Princess.After I reach the top I fight Knife Guy and Grate Guy, who are the toughest bosses so far, even if they don’t seem like it. They go down somewhat fast and the party jumps off the balcony to give chase to Booster who took off with the Princess. Booster runs up Booster Hill and to Marrymore where he plans to marry the Princess.

Two-Tailed Playthrough – Super Mario RPG Part 2 “Stuck in Geno’s Maze”

Posted in Tailz64 with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 4, 2008 by tailz64

Hey everyone it’s time for part two of my Super Mario RPG Playthrough. In this part I get a lot more done and learn the secret behind the star pieces. The first thing I do is talk with Mallow’s Grandfather, Frogfucius, and learn that Toadstool is no longer in Bowser’s Keep. He then tells us some things about Mallow and gives us his first weapon, the Froggiestick. With that he sends us off to Rose Town which is having some problems with mysterious arrows being shot from the forest. These arrows are paralyzing everyone they hit turning them into human statues. While it’s fun to mess with the frozen people I head into the forest after buying some new armor and look for the source of the arrows.

The forest is pretty linear for a while but it soon becomes a maze similar to the lost woods. This is Geno’s Maze. An old man in Rose Town told me some directions to go in this maze to find some hidden treasure, so I do that first then follow Geno through the maze. At the end of the maze we find a bow creature named Bowyer is responsible for all the arrows. He also has a Star Piece. So I take him down after a bit of a fight then claim my second Star Piece. At this point Geno is officially a member of my party and he explains what the Star Pieces really are. With Star Piece in hand I head back to Rose Town and find it a much livelier place than before and everyone is free from the arrows. After a quick rest at the inn I head to my next destination, the Pipe Vault. The Pipe Vault is an optional area that leads to Yo’ster Isle, which I go through to unlock for later. I fiddle around on the island for a bit then head on to Moleville. There seems to be some sort of a problem at Moleville so I pick up some new weapons and armor then start investigating.

Two-Tailed Playthrough – Super Mario RPG Part 1 “Not Again!”

Posted in Tailz64 with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on July 1, 2008 by tailz64

Hey everyone tonight I bring you my next Two-Tailed Playthrough, Super Mario RPG! I am doing something new with this RPG and that is doing it in hour long parts. I will still post two ten minute parts per day on Youtube but if you want to see more of the run and faster, be sure to check this page.

In this first part we meet our hero, Mario, again, and find that Bowser has kidnapped the princess for the 5th time now. So once again Mario has to rescue her. I head for his castle and storm it and after a short fight defeat Bowser. Then the real fun starts. A sword splits the sky and crashes down into Bowser’s castle sending everyone flying. Mario lands in his house and quickly heads back to the castle to rescue the princess. Once there he doesn’t even get inside because the giant sword tells him the castle is now under the control of the Smithy Gang and destroys the bridge to the castle. With no way to enter the castle Mario returns to his house to tell Toad the news.

Toad is shocked to hear the castle is unreachable and tells us we need to tell the Chancellor of Mushroom Kingdom at once. So I head through Mushroom Way, which is now crawling with monsters. Toad gets captured a couple times and I free him each time, and at the end of the path run into a pair of Hammer Bros. Toad apparently ran into them and they got angry and caught him. After another quick fight Toad is rescued and I pick up a hammer they left behind, Mario’s first weapon. With hammer in hand it’s off to Mushroom Kingdom. Mushroom Kingdom is a happy, peaceful place full of happy Toads. I rush into the castle and tell the Chancellor the news, and he tells me I must get the princess back no matter what the cost. So I head out to find a way to get her back, but not before taking the treasures from the castle cellar.

Upon exiting the castle I witness a crocodile being chased by a “frog”. The Croc stole the “frog”‘s coin and the “frog” couldn’t catch him. So I agree to help him out, thus getting my first partner, Mallow. Mallow has strong magic that will help me out on my journey. We chase the Croc down Mushroom Way and eventually corner him, then kick the crap out of him. He gives back the coin and a wallet then takes off. Happy that he got his coin back Mallow and I head back to Mushroom Kingdom to do what Mallow wanted to do with his coin, trade it to the shopkeeper for something for his Grandfather. Sadly we find Mushroom Kingdom is overrun by Shyguys on Pogosticks, who are led by a big knife named Mack. I take Mack down and pick up my first Star Piece, then head for Tadpole pond through Kero Sewers to talk with Mallow’s Grandfather about the Star Piece and what to do next.

I get a little confused in the Kero Sewers but I make it through and after beating Belome, a weird creature in the sewers, I head down Midas River and finally make it to Tadpole Pond.

I will also upload 11 minute parts to Youtube as usual. Can find the links here:
