Seriously, no other challenge tests everything at the same time so much. Sometimes, you’ll be put in a tight spot and need to superguard and guard well or execute good Power Bounces, Multibonks, and Sweet Treats. You need to manage peril’d partners, choose the right badges/items for the job, work with on-the-fly RNG, and figure out strategies for all the various enemy loadouts you’ll encounter. Well, this challenge tests every single one of them and does so in an amazing way. Remember my first blog post for Paper Mario Talks? I talked about the 4 skills of a challenge runner. Despite my labeling it as a “gatekeeper” challenge, I think it’s the perfect challenge for upcoming challenge runners and veterans alike. Today, I consider it to be one of the “gatekeeper” challenges, a challenge that breaks you into the higher tier of Paper Mario players. Back in the old challenge running days, this was considered one of the top challenges. That challenge…is Pre-Hooktail Pit.Ī Pre-Hooktail Pit run is a run where the player completes the Pit of 100 Trials before completing Chapter 1, which is done by defeating Hooktail. There are many, many challenges in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - Level Zero, No Jump No Hammer, Single Partner, BP Only, Double Damage, etc… but one among them all stands the test of time, for me, as the best TTYD challenge out there.
