Prelude to the recolored Paper tale...

[TyrorexDMZ]

STORYLINE/SIDEQUEST CHANGE
+Luigi has more of a role in the Recut storyline.

+Therefore, someone else takes over his hide-and-go-seek gig.

MAIN SERIES CHARACTERS
LUIGI [ http://i.imgur.com/ioDaLBV.png ]- The man in green himself! Luigi usually wants to relax. However, for various reasons, his time for rest is often interrupted when others call for his help. Not that Luigi minds, though- he also has a desire for more respect. In the Paper Mario universe, Luigi possesses a much larger ego than expected. Though dimension hopping and saving quells it, it doesn't vanquish this trait.

CHARACTER
GENERAL GUY [ http://i.imgur.com/rwS2Yjh.png ]- Once the guardian of the Star Spirit Muskular, General Guy was summoned to Prism Island on short notice to redeem himself. It doesn't matter to the General he hasn't physically seen the Master yet- he just wants back into the groove.

PLOT AND CHARACTER CHANGE
+Petey Piranha...is still in the Recut version of the story. However, he's been moved to a different, later part of it. The one flying in the air is yet to be determined.

MAIN SERIES CHARACTER
PETEY PIRANHA [ http://i.imgur.com/7orZxZp.png ]- The first time Mario ever fought Petey Piranha is a subject no-one can agree on. Delfino Island, at the bottom of a windmill? Gritzy Desert, several decades ago in the other world? The Rumble Volcano scuffle a little while back, where Petey swiped the innocent due to the strange energies of the Green Royal Sticker? And does Petey even understand the concept of "allegiance"? Or is it simply a matter of coaxing the unusual Piranha, like under the circumstances that bring him to the island?
The only thing known for sure is this: Petey's an international plant of mystery.

PAX UPDATE- GOLD COLISEUM
THINGS TO ARTIFACTS
Bone > Chomp Bone: Prevents enemies from using dodge defenses.
Lemon > Dry Dry Lemon: Gives Mario a 1-in-5 chance of inflicting Wet status with a single-hit attack OR the first hit of a multi-hit attack.

GOLD COLISEUM
+Prior to arriving here, Mario has met up with Louis. Unfortunately, Louis has been making his admirations of Mario a little too well known.
+When Mario and co. arrive...
SHY GUY: Anyway, if you come back later, you can fight battles and win fabulous prizes. Such as…a Grand Paint Star. Unfortunately, the roster is full at the moment. And security’s busy keeping some unwanted guests out. Sorry, pal.
EDWIN: Did that fellow say we could win prizes? Let me at them! I’ll win the Battle Royal fair and square!
LOUIS: Or, maybe idraulico boy here could win it. I’ve seen him take on this island’s best fighter without wrinkling his cappello!
HUEY: Guys, guys! Let’s not forget the most important prize here- the Grand Paint Star! We need to get in now, or we’ll miss our chance.
????????: Yeah- maybe I can help pencil you in for an appointment.
Nastasia and O’Chunks arrive on the scene.
HUEY: I didn’t think we’d be seeing you two again so soon. What brings you here? (after getting the Red Paint Star, Mario must return to Town Square to progress a certain other subplot. That’s when he reunites with O’Chunks and Nastasia)
O’CHUNKS: We were jus’ checkin’ out the bro-churs for the whole bloomin’ island, tryin’ to decide where to go next. Been hearin’ from the local birds to check ou’ their coliseum! Bu’ it seems teh me those wee l’il turtle kids took it over!
SHY GUY: Sir, I’ll have you know that we run a legitimate competition here.
NASTASIA: Yeah, no- I have a better idea. You’re going to let us in, since you just found there were six extra slots in the roster.
SHY GUY: Uh, no- I’m not doing any of-
Nastasia hypnotizes the Shy Guy.
SHY GUY: Hold on one moment… Just as I thought! There's room for you all in the next Battle Royal! My mistake! Please enter through the door to your right and stop by the pre-screening desk. Good luck!

Upon entering the coliseum…
HUEY: Awfully dark in here, isn’t it? They’re really setting the stage!
O’CHUNKS: I’m not afrai’ o‘ no darkness! I can’t wait to unleash Fist Jr. an’ Slappy in a Battle Royal!
NASTASIA: Yeah- I guess it could be fun…
O’Chunks and Nastasia hurry ahead.

+At the prescreening desk, the door is bent out of shape. Some Shy Guys are trying to fix it.
SHY GUY: Welcome to the prescreening desk. I’m here to weed out the unqualified. …or, at least I usually would. Unfortunately, that purple-coated Vellbex busted the door, so even if you were bad to the bone like her, I couldn’t let you in. Come back when the doors are repaired. By then, I’ll bet your inventory won’t be so bare-bones.
EDWIN: …that was just painful.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+As Mario travels the coliseum...
HUEY: Whoa, we made it to the outer wall! Check out the view!
LOUIS: I know, right? My people really love the ideals the ancient Royal Family used in building the Gold Coliseum! My dad and I usually came here to just sit, talk and eat pasta! Just like my compagno, Mario-!
EDWIN: Louis. Enough. With. Fanboying. Over. Mario.
LOUIS: Whoa, Edwin, relax. I’m not trying to start anything-
EDWIN: Except talk about Mario. Doesn’t anything else go through your mind?
LOUIS: Can you really blame me, though, Edwin? I mean, you see how strong Mar-
Edwin glares at Louis.
LOUIS: …Do you think this too, Huey?

HUEY: Oh, uh, er, you put me in a bit of a tough spot, Louis. I mean, I like Mario, too. And I care a lot about defending this island from invaders. Even Edwin there seems to be a little entranced by gold. But I take interests in other stuff, too, so maybe-?
LOUIS: I- I guess you’re right.
EDWIN: (sigh) Louis, I’m sorry. It’s just-
LOUIS: No, it’s fine. I could try and think of other interesting coses to talk about.

+Also, some Musketeers sneak into the Coliseum via the walls.
DRYBAKE POKEY: Spnspnspnspn…it took me some time to sneak into the coliseum. Especially with security upped so greatly. But I really don’t appreciate those out-of-town Pokeys invading. And now, Aace brings that indecisive rookie in from Bowser’s army? What happened to “the pride of Prism Island?”
EDWIN: Wait…Aace already found someone else?
DRYBAKE POKEY: Of course he found some- wait a moment. You’re Edwin! Aace isn’t taking you back- that’s for sure!
A battle starts with the Drybake Pokey.

+After entering the back room of the Coliseum, but before the conversation about the boxes…
LOUIS: Hey, guys, ragazzi- before we go further, there’s something you might want to know.
EDWIN: …
LOUIS: Don’t worry- it’s about the coliseum!
EDWIN: Very well- if you think we need to know.
LOUIS: That’s eccellente! So, remember how I said the ancient Royal Family built this place? They also used to hold various games here, to entertain the little bambini in the family. Building the Coliseum also helped the king make friends with other rulers, like the Dry Dry Ruins’ first Tutankoopa, or the Drybake Stadium’s Tower Power Pokeyhotep.
EDWIN: That’s all well and good. Now, if we can get moving and find a way to fix the gate, we can-
LOUIS: Whoa- I’m not done yet, little soffio! Eventually, the youngest of the Royal Family wanted to enter the games, too- especially the Battle Royal. Unfortunately, the king objected, while the queen- she was busy with other pursuits. As a compromise, the king allowed his kid to enter the Royal Pets instead. However- things went molto south after that decision. The Royal Pets were so brutal with the competition, the original Battle Royale was eventually cancelled on account of so many injuries. There’s no easy way to say it, amico- those walls took tumilis of gold paint to hide the mess the Royal Pets left behind. It’s only in recent years the Battle Royal came back.
HUEY: I’m going to have to agree with you, Louis- I don’t remember there being any Battle Royal here when I was originally built.

+When Mario finds the Chomp Bone...
VERONICA: Hey-yo, Mario. We have something for you. So get this- we heard one of the fossils from Marmalade Valley was STOLEN! Can you believe it? Using our keen Memphawk senses, we found it, drudged in this old room.
Veronica, Jonny and The Invisible CAAN stand aside.
VERONICA: Well, here it is. I thought you'd be happy with this old thing. So don't hold back. You can give me a big hug, if you can take it. ...or you can hug the bone. An old friend told me you might do that.

Mario gets the Chomp Bone.
VERONICA: Wow! You held that up like it was a toy! What muscles you have! And with that...
All three Yellow Squad members salute.
VERONICA: Veronica, Jonny and Invisible CAAN... Over and out! Since we've been separated from Sol, we'll report back to him until further notice. CAAN?
The Invisible CAAN destroys the box. All three Yellow Squad members leave.

+After Mario and co. get the Chomp Bone and exit the room, they see O'Chunks and Nastasia at the prescreening desk.
O'CHUNKS: "...come back when the doors are repaired?" Buddy, I can repair the door wit' jus' one punch! Watch!
SHY GUY: Sir, waitwaitwaitWAIT!
O'Chunks punches the door. Sure enough, it straightens out.
SHY GUY: I...don't believe it. You actually fixed the door! And just when we were about to give up! http://i.imgur.com/jH9xrkq.jpg
O'CHUNKS: Yeh canno' give up when a skinny l'il door stan's refuses tah open. Yeh gotta keep at it!
NASTASIA: Yeah, O'Chunks- nice words and all. But, do you have a transcript proving this optimism?
O'CHUNKS: Ah dunna need some wee note fer proof- ah jus' need tah give a chunkin'! C'mon, Nastasia- some fun awai's!
O'Chunks and Nastasia walk onto the lift. The lift comes back.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+There's actually two waves of enemies before fighting Iggy. The first wave isn't really a wave, though...
Mario, Huey, Edwin and Louis arrive atop...
HUEY: Look, Mario! There it is!
Camera shows...
HUEY: The Topaz Grand Paint Star!
IGGY (voice): What the- you're here, too!? HUWUHWUHWUH! And just after we ambushed the big guy and his girlfriend!
O'Chunks and Nastasia are tied up in the right corner. Nastasia's eyes are covered by a bandana.
O'CHUNKS: I canna' believe I walked righ' inna tha' one! When I get loose, Imma chunkin' the green-haired turtle!
NASTASIA: I'll come with you to that appointment, O'Chunks. After I regain my sight, of course.
IGGY: Get a hotel room, you two! The only way this could be worse is if-
?????: Mario! I've been looking all over this island to pick a bone with you!
A Goomba wearing Musketeer garb drops in from above.
LOUIS: Flying Goombas? Now I've seen everything. By the way, uh... who is that guy, Mario?
Mario thinks. He then shrugs.
MYSTERY GOOMBA: How could you not remember me, Mario! I'm the Goomba who that other Mario damaged. Ooh- I think I still feel it now, just thinking about it.
MARIO: ?
MYSTERY GOOMBA: You ruined my buddies' wheelerific revenge against them?
MARIO: ?
MYSTERY GOOMBA: ...You wrecked the awesomely giant Papercraft I was riding?!
MARIO: ! ...?
MYSTERY GOOMBA: Aw, come on! That one was a freebie! OK- how about this one-?
NASTASIA: Hold on- I know that voice. Perry?
MYSTERY GOOMBA/PERRY: Oh NO. Why are YOU here?!
NASTASIA: Yeah, you were that team player who helped detain the man in green. Even though ...it doesn't matter anymore... I appreciate the spirit.
Mario looks annoyed at Perry over this. Meanwhile, O'Chunks looks sad.
O'CHUNKS: Nastasia...
PERRY: Well, good for you! I moved on to better things, though! I'm working with the Musketeers now! And for my first test- I'll finally get rid of Mario!
A battle with Perry begins.

BGM- Megasparkle Goom... Battle [Original] (Paper Mario: Sticker Star [Recut])

HP: 80
ATK: 10 (headbonk), 2 x 5 (multibonk)
+Every turn, Perry can steal energy from the Partner Meter to permanently power up his next attack by 2. This stacks, by the way.
DEF: 0

After the Perry battle...
PERRY: Don't think this is over, Mario! I'm not forgetting this fight, either!
Perry runs away like a punk.
PERRY: Aaaaaace!
After Perry leaves...
IGGY: Now I know why we didn’t bring that guy with us- he’s so needy. Any more interruptions from the Musketeers? No? GOOD! AHAHAHAHA! Welcome to the Battle Royal- the last fight of Mario's life!
Several enemies come up into the arena on lifts.
LOUIS: Aw, no, fratello!
EDWIN: We can't take on all of them! Even Aace would find this difficult!
HUEY: You're right! There has to be a better way!
O'CHUNKS: Tha's it- time to unleash a chunkin'!
O'Chunks breaks free from his bonds. He also releases Nastasia of her bandana.
NASTASIA: Thank you, O'Chunks. Now- why don’t we you and I pencil in a 3 o’clock battle with hordes of the Bowser group?
O'CHUNKS: You're speakin' my language now, Nastasia! CHUNKS AWAY!
O'Chunks and Nastasia enter the foray.
EDWIN: It’s nice of them to join us...but even now, we may still be outmatched!
HUEY: Maybe there’s some other way to take them all out at once...Let’s take a look around this place.

+Regarding the second wave...
+The Goombas are replaced with Dry Dry Pokeys.
+The Spikes are replaced with Clubbas.
+O Chunks is an independent field ally for Mario, with Nastasia trailing the big guy. O Chunks can take 40 HP worth of damage (which is balanced by the fact the normal enemies have their stats altered- mostly, their ATK is lower), yet defeats 1 enemy every 3 seconds. Once his HP is up, O'Chunks faints, and Mario is on his own.
+If Mario can defeat all enemies before O'Chunks faints, Mario gets 1 extra card for every 8 HP O'Chunks still has.
+Regardless, Iggy runs over the weakened O'Chunks, knocking him into the wall behind Mario.
NASTASIA: O'Chunks!?
Nastasia hurries over.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+While Iggy doesn't undergo the personality changes Morton will, his dialogue is slightly changed to reflect the Recut's direction.
INTRO: AHAHAHA! You should see the look on your face! No really- can we get a mirror over here? Ah, forget it... Let's tear this plumber apart!
http://i.imgur.com/5Cr8fPR.jpg
AFTER BATTLE: UGH! I lost? That's embarrassing- I just rubbed it in those Musketeer's faces how much better I was than them! Just take the Topaz Grand Paint Star and get lost! Shut it down! Show's over!

Iggy runs off...
+Before Mario and co can reclaim the Topaz Grand Paint Star, Kolorado and Orion come in to check the scene for their own reasons. Meanwhile, O'Chunks recovers thanks to Nastasia.
+Their talk is interrupt by a mysterious mural, emerging from the sand...

BOSS BATTLE
IGGY STATS
HP: 200
ATK: 12 (magic wand, shell attack), 24 (likely chariot super attack)- attacks can be blocked.
DEF: 1
+While the Chomp Bone can still be equipped to deal with this battle, partner attacks will also not trigger chariot dodges.
+In fact, partner attacks do not trigger enemy dodges at all.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

ENEMY CARD CHANGES
+As stated before, enemies no longer run away in boss battles in the Recut. Instead, they're marked depending on who they're affiliated with. Facing the same marked enemies or bosses lowers their ATK.
+In a new piece of info, enemy cards are the only cards in the Recut whose stats depend on Mario's level. The base HP and ATK of enemy card summoned enemies is rated from 1-10, while they get a fixed amount of DEF.
+A few formulas decide the enemy's stats when Mario summons them.

Let BaseHP= the HP rating of that enemy.
Let BaseATK= the ATK rating of that enemy.
Let LV= Mario's level.

HP= (BaseHP + 2(LV(BaseHP0.1)) + 2(LV))RNDUP
ATK= BaseATK + LV

[TyrorexDMZ]

SNEAK PEAK
TOWN SQUARE
Mario, Peach and Toadsworth enter Town Square. It’s completely quiet.
PEACH: Wow, this is a real ghost town. This can’t be right. Are we sure this is Prisma Fountain?
TOADSWORTH: If memory serves me right, dear Princ
