Paper Mario Throwback

I had a dream about a Paper Mario game that revisits every other game. I was chasing a Hammer Bro in a desert-like place, with Goombella and Olivia in tow. I had to roll into tube Mario to make a shortcut to catch it, but it wasn’t until the 2nd time I had to chase it down that I actually did that. When I did catch it, the Hammer Bro decided to make a big jump to the moon, which led to Olivia telling Mario to chase after it there with a rocket. So Mario got in with Goombella and Olivia, and it showed this origami king-esque cutscene, with a mix of color splash and paper jam, of said rocket traveling to the moon.

Instead of landing on the moon, they landed in a “memory” of Rogueport sewers, and in said “memory” there were three pipes. One for rougeport, another for a mix of Twilight Town and Creepy Steeple, and another for the X-Naut fortress. To the left of the area was its prequel, Paper Mario 64, which had pipes to the desert area, toybox area, and the ice palace area thing. But to the right of it was Super Paper Pario, and it had pipes to Flopside, the Bitlands, and a miniature version of the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials with Dimentio’s castle blended in. Then you got other places for Sticker Star, Color Splash, and Origami King, as well as a spot for Paper Jam, which to me, is more of a half and half game, since you got the Mario & Luigi series mixed in there.

The only thing I remember before waking up was the three getting cold in the Rougeport sewers memory area, and a green Koopa Troopa spray-painting the words “heh heh” on a wall, twice. At some point in the dream, the three made it to the wrestling ring from TTYD’s Glitzville, and it had a shit-ton of other characters, like you got Sonic, Bubsy, Kirby, Master Chief, all that. I don’t know why it was in that dream but it was, and hell, even I was there next to Lilac. Anyways, the three decided to watch what was going down in the ring for a while, albeit next to me and Lilac, and well, we met together, showed Olivia & Goombella Lilac’s detachable capabilities, etc., and we watched Link and Samurai Jack swordfight. At one point in the fight Samurai Jack lost grip of his sword, and it fell outta the ring, which means he couldn’t retrieve it. Given that, Link decided to do the same so they can be even, which now leads this to a regular fight akin to something of Street Fighter and Smash. Pointless detail but as they were fighting I hugged Lilac in excitement + gave her detached legs a nice hug as well. Mario just kinda glanced in question and Lilac told them that it was normal of him to do that. Olivia was a bit concerned but Lilac reassured her.
