You can also take those out with a POW Block or Earth Quake item, but FP is essentially an infinitely renewable resource in the Glitz Pit so if you can use Quake Hammer against them, you should. Probably the biggest weakness of Quake Hammer is that its power doesn't scale with the hammer you have. It always has a base attack power of 2, where other hammer moves get 2, 4, or 6 depending on your hammer. (Other stat boosts work, just not the hammer's base attack.) So it loses some of its utility later in the game.

I’ve commonly played through both Paper Mario games where I just put on Close Call and never take it off. If nobody got me, I know Close Call got me

Interesting remake-exclusive note about Mega Rush P: If you finish a battle with your partner downed, they're auto-healed to 1 HP. You no longer need to get them down to exactly Peril or carry around a Dried Shroom to use on the field... all you have to do is let them eat shit, finish the battle, and then next battle you go into, they're already Mega Rushed for you.

Damage Dodge still has its merits imo. Sure, if you can hit super guards a good 80+% of the time it may as well be irrelevant, but if you’re not it’s like a functionally better P-Down D-Up (excepting piercing attacks, etc). I find guarding to be more consistent, and especially if you’re at low HP, the damage reduction allows for more flexibility instead of forcing a super guard to survive. Lower damage numbers also might make HP manipulation easier if you’re into danger/peril strats. Like everything else, it depends on the context of the run. Not very useful in a PHP run where you’re facing 6+ attack enemies in the later floors, but in a casual run?

Given how highly you ranked Jump badges/strategy (rightfully so btw), I think a hammer focused challenge would be fascinating to see. Hammerman/Hammerthrow would become MVP, and being unable to jump on shelled enemies would make Piercing Blow much more useful as well. On that note, I think Piercing Blow should have been something like "4 BP: Hammer attacks ignore enemy defense" which would have made the hammer a much more appealing strategy in the late game since you could combo it with the other hammer badges like Quake/Throw. Jumping taking all the attack modifiers and benefiting from them 2x is hard to beat, but the fact that you then have to cut through defense twice would make the Hammer have a role to fill against enemies like the Chain Chomp etc.

Really enjoyed seeing you making this list, two things I would change would be Piercing blow being higher on the list. When you can get it, it makes facing things like clefts super easy and for the low cost of 2FP. There were so many situations where jumping just wasn't feasible or the damage I would do with it would be less than if I just hit it with a Piercing hammer. Cannons especially it was super helpful getting rid of. The other change would be to Ice Power, its a mere 1 BP to equip and like others have mentioned allows for multi-bounce to hit all enemies for example when theres a fire enemy in the middle of a lineup with a flying unit or something behind it. To your point it is situational but the chapter you get it, its a godsend. This tierlist is making me reevaluate my current setup and I think I'm gonna try experimenting a little bit more now.

I'm not going to go into too much detail, but I did want to point out a couple things! First things first -- HP Drain(P)/FP Drain only recover by 1 no matter how many hits you deal. That's a 64-specific mechanic. I think your Ice Power placement by your own logic is a little weird -- Ice Power lets you Multibounce all fire enemies. You can't Multibounce through the 40's/70s in the Pit without it, and much like Spike Shield, it's not necessary for a lot of enemies. They're functionally almost the exact same. There are no bosses that strictly need them, either, so why are they not closer together? You should check out some recent strategies/videos by myself, Koop, and other Paper Mario challenge runners, especially my video on the Point Swap item.

I will say I was wondering about that Double Dip placement. Like items are some of the most useful tools a player has in these games. Yes that 4 FP cost is steep, but you could really do a lot with it in comparison to other FP cost badges. Even if you're like me and don't know a ton of the more complex strats with it, it's just nice to have in your back pocket in case it bails you out of a bad situation. Also allows you to double your chance of inflicting conditions with an item like an Ice Storm or in desperate cases Fright Mask. In every RPG I've personally played with a multi-item optimization, historically it's pretty busted. That's just an opinion from someone uneducated in a lot of this game though, I'm not in any way experienced beyond what I've seen in challenge runs or some speedruns.

Also lucky day and Pretty lucky get more or less invalidated by danger Mario with just 1 close call. That BP is way better spent elsewhere IMO. But at the end of the day, it's all subjective!

14:04 I can attest that. Grind for close calls with ms mowz against regular goombas and get 50 or more power rushes and you become ridiculously powerful. I personally recommend power bounce and multibounce as your main attacks with ice power and spike shield to protect you from fire and spike enemies. Add 2 flower savers and an fp drain to make it so you spend 1 fp with the 2 moves and gain 1 fp when attacking. Important thing to note is that you can get an unlimited amount from the pianta parlor once you have one of the cards. Hammer throw is kinda important for enemies you cannot jump on even with the badge set up. With this set up you can do up to 99 damage per hit.

30:17 "I think this list shows you the kind of TYD player I am" That is a really nice way of putting it. I've seen tier lists for other games where the author just makes objective claims about how the game "should" be played or sorting things with zero use/purpose at the bottom. I totally understand that sometimes the devs don't implement things properly ("In Shining Armor" New Vegas perk) , or some things are really just there to show you a basic concept before being quickly outclassed (Wooden Sword in Chrono Trigger), but there isn't really one objective tier list for a game. TYD is certainly a game where you just want to maximize damage output per turn. This is a running theme through the entire game and coalesces in the final boss that heals a ton of hp every turn and acts as the hard barrier for most other unconventional strategies. Of course, that boss is not the be-all-end-all of the game; there is the pit, mods, speedrunning and challenge modes where those unconventional strategies finally shine. Well... most of them :)

I would've put Quick Change at top of S, if only because of how much it impacts your ability to change up your strategy. Not that Powerbounce is strictly worse (they're pretty apples and oranges) but to me playing *without* QC makes me feel like I'm playing on hard mode. It just makes your life so much easier; it's probably the one badge worth that amount of BP.

I've only done challenge runs with the base game though, I was unaware of the different challenge runs and mods with this game. Just found your content and it's very satisfying seeing someone be sick at my favorite childhood game :)

Always a good day when Bringle uploads. Keep the banger content coming!

This video got randomly suggested to me so I'm not one of your regular viewers. I was really into it until you said I haven't used this badge in years and I don't really know what it does. If you redo this list in the future please make sure you test all of the badges first. ❤

Would you ever consider doing a challenge run of the game Bug Fables?

I agreed with almost every placement and you were on point with your explanations as to why. HOWEVER, I must say that SS tier #1 badge has to be power rush for the simple fact it can break the game. You can equip 10 of them for 20 BP and do 20+ damage per stomp with danger Mario. Equip spike shield and multibounce and the game becomes so easy it’s not even fun to play anymore. Also for bump attack and return postage you forgot to mention the biggest flaw they have which is that you get them at floor 80 and 100 respectively. After beating the pit realistically what more is there to do? I feel like that alone invalidates their use which is why you did return postage justice by putting it in F tier. Personally I’d rank bump attack lower. Otherwise this was really well put together and I can’t stress how much I love the high quality of your vids.

All the real homies get bump attack before chapter 4 to backtrack with style

Jump man isnt an S tier badge because it completely locks you out of multitarget attacks outside of multi bounce, and if multibounce is manditory for jumpman to be S rank then multibounce should be S rank.

I really hope you keep enjoying playing the game but I hope you don’t burn yourself out by only playing the game, I love your content and just hope you’re love with the game stays

I think it's interesting that you ranked zap tap so much higher than ice power since both of them are on useful against 3-4 very specific enemies. It just the fact that zap tap effects one of the strongest enemies in the pit that gets it a B instead of D. Other than that I think this list is pretty damn solid with only a few minor disagreements based on personal preference.

Zap Tap blocks all but like 1 of the H/FP-stealing enemies, as well as all bandit thefts, while Ice Power only affects 3 enemies, with none of those enemies existing in more than one map location and the Pit. Zap tap may require a short delve into the Pit, but so long as you get it before Chapter 3, you negate 7 enemies' secondary effects, 8 if you get the badge before the fuzzy fight in Glitzville. It also has the very niche benefit of allowing you to jump on electrified enemies, which means it outpaces Ice Power in that regard, since electrified is both an item-made status and enemy-borne from Magikoopas and Wizzerds.

Honestly the time I found Double Dip to be helpful was doing a challenge run where Mario is literally unable to attack outside of Specials or First Strikes due to wearing both the Hammerman and Jumpman badges at the same time. For bonus points (though not sure on how much utility it actually has), there are two available and if you have both equipped, you have the option to Triple Dip instead.

On my very first playthrough of TTYD remake, I actually had a strat where I use my partners as meat shields and made Mario somewhat of a glass cannon. I put a lot of points into BP and FP, but like, 2 into HP to be able to survive a few of the hardest hitting attacks. Charge especially helped me since I used my partner to help me, either tank damage or support mario, while Mario charged up to deal a lot of damage later

Can't wait for the cricket sound badge to C because it actually does something in one specific bossfight and then the rest are gimmick because they're just SFX badges

I know this is a video about Paper Mario TTYD, but in Paper Mario 64 I always had Power Rush, Last Stand, and Close Call on the whole time (When I got them), and they saved my life numerous times, so I give those S+ tier.

Happy Hearts gives good gradual recovery on danger Mario builds. I like how it keeps my health at 5 whenever i take any damage

Genuine discussion idea; What will everyone else do strategy wise when the remake comes out? I am so hyped to play prologue pit!

IIRC, Prologue Pit requires glitches in the original game...which could be patched out in the remaster. UNLESS there's a deliberate option to tackle the Pit early. Maybe it would be unlocked by having a cleared save file...

So, I know you only play ttyd, but could you try playing 64? There are a lot of cool mods for the game, since the game has been decompiled. There’s Master Quest (a hard mode), Black Pit (a rouge-like), ttyd 64 (ttyd battle mechanics, and all badges and items), and so much more.

I generally agree with most of the tier list. I think flower saver is underrated because of potentially long battles. I don't know how long the average battle is, but if you use more than 5 FP moves in a battle, then you have saved more FP than an FP plus.

12:45 it hurts to see a rating purely based on git gud mentality. I was kinda questioning p down d up then after thinking about that checks out cause defense is easy to negate some attacks just straight up ignore it and they arent that rare. the rest of the list so far I in agreement with. also even though this comment is a critique I love the content it's nice to see a game this good be pushed to the limit and examined for every detail that can be learned. you said it yourself "you learn something new everytime you play" I feel I learn something new everytime I watch! thank you!

I mostly tend to use badges which fits best the area i am in. But some favorites, like quick change and spike shield are always equipped. I usually ignore Peekaboo until later in the game, since i like collecting the tattle entries. Flower Finder is also a favorite. In the remake, i actually got it early from the vendor next to the scaffold. So i have it equipped since then. Piercing Blow is my go to, until i getter better ways around high defense foes. I do use Happy Heart quiet a bit too, if i know it will take a while until i can heal again without using items or star powers. Like in the early parts of the Pit of 100 Trials.

A tier list video? Perfection

Gimmick Badge Cases 13:35 Double Pain is easily a gimmick. It just makes the game more challenging and annoying overall. 25:15 Refund has battle purposes. It allows you to get coins from using an item, thus allowing you to buy another item (or items if you have lots of coins) for upcoming battles. So, it is not a gimmick. You can choose to stack Refund, but it does little to nothing having more Refunds on. 25:37 Money Money has the same case as Refund, but slightly different. More income from battles = More stuff you can buy after battles. You can also stack Money Money for even more coins, further increasing that already giant battle income. 28:08 Timing Tutor is basically training wheels for timing Stylish moves. Without a doubt, a Gimmick. All SFX badges, L, W, and Slow Go are all without a doubt a gimmick. For Paper Mario TTYD Switch players: The GameCube badge is a gimmick. It gives back the original soundtrack from ages ago. Gold Mario is like L and W, a visual gimmick.

That ice smash (I smash) pun didn't go unnoticed good sir. Keep at it

There is one use for Hammer Throw I equip it for: The fight against Rawk Hawk. Sure, I could use any partner, like Vivian, to bring him down from his ceiling attack, but imagine how you mushed him down before and then Hammer Throw is the final attack. This just looks awesome. Also, most of them time I didn't have Quick Exchange, so I was "stuck" with Bob-ery, since he did the most damage on Rawk Hawk. So yh, not completely useless, but beside that one case, I also never use it ^^ Edit: And yes, I do mean the Rawk Hawk you can re-fight, since you don't get Hammer Throw before Chapter 3.

I’m not that good at the game so damage dodge is super clutch lol. I’m starting to see your point about essentially “min-maxing”with offense because damage is more important in a game you have the ability to nullify attacks outright with a super guard. Piercing Hammer was clutch against cleffs early game but I’ve removed it by keelhaul key. I never imagined power bounce would be so highly regarded but if you get the timing down that’s a cheap cost for decent-high damage. That’s before all of the power boosts too. I’m gonna try out Pup D down and remove damage dodge moving forward for the challenge. Love your vids man

Agreed. I combined 2 p up d down with 2 power plus, one all or nothimg, and one jumpman and pretty much spammned multi bounce and spin jumps throughout all of the pit of 100 trials.

Here was my late game build: Lucky Day + 2 Pretty Lucky + 2 Close Call for dodge chance while having myself be at 5 Max HP so I'd always have Close Call in effect. Because of this, I also stacked like 10 Power Rush Badges so I'd always have the boost from it and then some various defense when getting action guards and at 5HP or less, and then I'd have Power Bounce and Multibounce with Spike Shield and Ice Power so I have a powerful single target and multi target attack that can hit any group of enemies for damage regardless of what they are, and with the boosted damage from a bunch of Power Rushes, I would always one turn everu group of regular enemies and two to three turn most bosses. I'd carry around a few Life Up mushrooms in case my massive dodge chance ever failed me, and I'd often use Power Lift for harder bosses and Goombella to give her turn up to Mario everytime for massive damage output.

I actually did a strategy with FP drain and flower saver equipped where I can infinitely keep using multibounce while having some power rush badges equipped to easily complete pit of 100 trials. Yes I used power bounce on lvl 100.

Really solid tier list but ‘first attack’ is literally 0 BP and you get it very early in the game so there’s no negative to having it and makes it easier when backtracking after chapters 😂 bump attack I think is like 4 BP so saving that 4 BP for a 0 BP first attack could be beneficial

Can you make a video on how to get mods for the TTYD? I would like some sort of challenge mode to try

Idk if it was intentional, but making attack fx r at the top of the gimmick sound badges is high iq

Best risk vs reward. Glass cannon Mario FUCKS

I used hammer throw because it can hit any enemy and it ignores defense. Works really well when you have the hammer man badge (or whatever it’s called) and you can’t use jump.

Here’s a tip for a mega rush strategy: Go to Chet Rippo and substitute your 10 health for 5 health and increase badge points by 3. Then, use the HP plus badge and Mario should be in danger. If you ever collect a heart on the overworld or heal up and get out of danger just unequip and re-equip the badge and Boom! back in danger. It is a risky strategy, but if you are confident in you action commands and your ability to take down threats before they have the opportunity to attack you back, then this is an excellent strategy after chapter 5!

Personally, i enjoy playing the glass cannon style waaaay more than the slower paced defensive style. Being able to finish fights quickly and blow away high defense enemies is chef's kiss. Spike shield, multibounce, and power bounce basically covers just about all of Mario's enemy matchups, allowing him to attack the same way as some of his partners, so I've always been about high attack and versatility in offense.

As soon as I discovered the Danger Mario strat it basically snapped the game in half for me XD The only issue is that until you can permanently set HP to 5 and have unlimited access to Power Rush it's a pain, but I got used to the 10 HP pretty quick. I'm unfortunately no good with the sequence breaking stuff so yeah

Funny I find this while doing a a hammer only run, hammer throw has been a godsend for me so far.

in my experience, specifically when playing the Infinite Pit mod, using Defend Plus helps offset some of the negatives you get with P-Up, D-Down or even just using damage dodge since stacking it works and can make you extremely tanky for the first 100 floors, but I really do not like how expensive both Defend Plus and Power Plus can be in badge points :/

Charge P combined with soft stomp on Yoshi's stampede is CRAZY. You can do up to 45-50 damage depending on how much you charge Yoshi. and then combine that with Power Lift and you will go CRAZY

correction power jump doesn't just add +2 damage to your jump (otherwise when you have super boots power jump would do 4 damage which wouldn't even be a damage increase and its more power smash but in jump form (both do 4-6-8 damage based on boots/hammer tier)

What’s the ideal BP for you in a play-through? Like, how high is it compared to HP and FP usually?

24:59 IT WAS ME!!!! HI BRINGLE!!!! (It was on the Infinite Pit Hard Mode Pt. 2, when he fought a bunch of swampires with stopwatches)

Glad the red sound effect badge was highest of them all because it, being the cricket(or frog, depending on what version you're playing) has practical use in one single fight, that being Hooktail.

I used FP drain in combination with flower saver on danger mario as a kid. You have so much excessive power and spare BP already so just no longer caring about FP much is the cherry on top, makes it more idiot proof. Otherwise I always ignored it though. I got a soft spot for stacking a few of both super appeal badges on my builds. It's a bit of a casual approach playing the game rarely and at a slower pace, but I like being able to quickly recharge SP so I can use special moves when needed and also use sweet treat/feast to recover FP at will. I generally heavily focus BP , and enjoy having infinite sustain and not having to rely on items at all.

Hammer throw is an absolute godsend when trying to kill Swoopulas in the pit levels

if doing peril strats with the partner anyway might as well use close call cause even if survival matters less 33% chance dodge is still useful for getting an extra attack out before death even in case missing superguard

Pity flower and happy flower sound like basically the same thing to me except happy flower is consistently bad while pity flower is inconsistently bad and id at least wanna have my badge be consistently bad That being said i did use both happy heart and happy flower for my paper mario 64 playthrough but shhhhh dont tell anyone

disappointed you didn't rank the Attack FX badges based on the sounds they make :( (good ranking btw)

Damage Dodge is a leftover badge from Paper Mario 64, where it's actually really good in that game. It was also nerfed in TTYD for that reason.

Pretty much agree with all of this, EXCEPT simplifier. It makes superguard timing slightly easier which is so helpful when you'll only be superguarding the entire time anyways, especially if you stack them like crazy.
