The 28 Hour Journey to Beat Paper Mario's Hardest Challenge (Pre-Hooktail Pit of 100 Trials)

In 2020, I set out on a journey to complete one of the hardest challenges possible in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - The Pre-Hooktail Pit of 100 Trials. In 2024, it's time to share that story with the world. This is a video that's been in the making for over three years and one that I've stopped and started multiple times over the past few years, so I'm hoping that it's one you guys enjoy. I apologize for the audio on the live clips being a bit rough; this footage was from October - November of 2020 and my audio setup has changed a lot since then. This challenge was something I was originally inspired by ‪@RedFalconTV‬ to attempt, and one of the few challenges where I wasn't confident that I'd actually be able to complete it. Time to do it on the remake now? Resources used for this video: Enemy Item/Badge Drop/Hold Rates: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecub...
