Paper Mario Relic Hunter SPECIAL MARIO RPG BOARDS VERSION

STICKER STAR-RELATED
1) Each applicable sticker only has 3 rarities now: Normal, Super (as big as Big Shiny), and Mega (as big as Megaflash).
2) Things are replaced with Plumber Artifacts, which run off of Plumber Points (PP) instead of being one-use.
3) Paperization Zones are completely gone.
4) Sticker packets are introduced.
-Each sticker packet holds different number of stickers- 5 for normal stickers, 3 for Super Stickers, and 1 for Mega Stickers.
-A sticker packet rejuvanates 1/2 of it's max size if it's empty at the end of battle rounded up. This way, the player can prepare.
-The only limitation is that the number of sticker packets that can be carried is limited by Sticker Points, requiring Plumbering Up
-As a general rule, Normal Packets require 3 SP, Big Packets require 7 SP, and Mega requires 16 SP)
5) Some returning Stickers are changed:
-Hopslipper only does 4-5 jumps instead of 10, while still taking boss defense into account (and most bosses have at least 1 Defense)
-Similarly, Eekhammer only does 3 hits rather than 5.
6) Healing stickers can be used outside of battle.
7) Only a few bosses have weaknesses now. Those weaknesses are explicitly & unavoidably alluded to before the fight.
8) Only the main hub city requires items from other levels to access other areas of it. Meanwhile, level puzzles are "contained" within levels.
9) Sound test and enemy bestiary are unlocked at the Museum from the start of the game. In exchange, the player must beat levels, enemies and bosses to get their content.
10) There's an actual reward for filling in the Museum this time.

1. GAMEPLAY
-The Pastelora Museum serves as Relic Hunter's Sticker Museum.
--When it comes to normal stickers, they really do disappear from the Tome of Shroom.
--When it comes to Plumber Artifacts, on the other hand, they don't disappear. Instead, a coin fee must be paid to put a replica on display.
-At certain points in the game (1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 of the way of the story), an auction for 3 paintings takes place at the museum
--You can only choose to bid for 1 painting at these points.
--If you lose, a duplicate of that painting goes up for auction next time.
--If you win, you get to keep the painting.
--The function/content of these paintings: portals to nostalgic levels from the first 3 Paper Mario games, 1 per game
---PAPER MARIO: Flower Fields
---PAPER MARIO THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR: Glitzville
---SUPER PAPER MARIO: Underwhere
---Clearing any of these 3 levels is not required for the main story.
-Like the first 2 games, partners can be powered up. Rather than Shine Sprites or Super Blocks, though, Green Stars fill the role of requirements.
--2 Max per Partner.
-Partner sticker that appears every 2 turns in battle in Tome of Shroom changes depending on who is out.
-Speaking of which, you can change partner during battle. However, it costs Mario 1 sticker use that turn.

-Some lava is not flowing enough to raise the level. Using his hammer on weak pillars, Mario must divert lava to one "pond" to get across.
-While traversing some seemingly empty fields, Mario must also dodge attacks from fiery plant.

-1-5. Volcaflora Peak
-boss level- just the ante chamber and the actual boss room

-Cayrla is eager to face off with the monster responsible for the fiery barrage upon her town. However, Junio asks an honest question- is Caryla doing it for the town or for her own ego?
-Cayrla is stunned. Before she answers, a hulking voice speaks out about the "weeds that dare approach my infernal beauty".
-When Mario and co. get into the boss room, they see a huge, red and black striped monstrosity of a burning Venus Fly trap named Volcaflora.
-Junio sees a page of the Tome of Shroom behind Volcaflora, and rushes out mindlessly to get it, giving VF a chance to attack. Before being roasted, Mario jumps in the way and swats a fireball away with his hammer, which dazes Volcaflora.
-Volcaflora gets angry, and she demands they bow before her. Cayrla says that Volcaflora's full of herself- however, Volcaflora responds that Cayrla's no different. Volcaflora claims she's watched the town for some time, annoyed at the Dayzee's attitudes for various reasons. It's only now she's decided to destroy it, due to a small piece of paper gashing her in the face. She has time to burn away, though...

-BOSS TIME: VOLCAFLORA
HP: 80, ATK: 5, COINS: 80
-Volcaflora summons 1 Magsprout every 2 turns.
-After one round of battle, an airship with some Dayzees from town appears and blasts Volcaflora in the face, inflicting 15 damage on her.
-To reload for another attack ("We're gonna need more ammo! Anything will do, even defeating an enemy!"), simply defeat a Magsprout, then Sing with Cayrla to put Volcaflora to sleep. Doing this, the airship can get it, load it up, and fire again ("Excellent...but we can't get close unless that thing's asleep!")

-After the battle, the airship comes down, and Cayrla runs up.
-Cayrla realizes that the town did help, and that she's sorry she was such a snob to them.
The town insists that as long as she's learned something, that's all that matters. Nevertheless, Cayrla thinks that maybe she should leave town for awhile and help Mario with his quest.
-Mario pantomimes a request for the page of the Tome of Shroom, which the townsDayzees oblige to.

PRINCESS PEACH 1
-Peach finds herself in a factory crossed with a library.

-Peach looks around the entire room for an escape route, but they're all covered in some way. There's lasers across the vents, a crusher outside the window, mist outside the other window, etc.

-Without warning, Albus, Brutus, and Albus' butler Hanz walk into Peach's room.
ALBUS: Having trouble leaving, Princess?
-Albus boasts he thought up every possible way Peach could escape, having intercepted "some very interesting wireless messages" over the years from her to and fro others, and to just give in.
-When Peach asks what they want with her, Brutus almost says it out loud, but Albus hushes him.
ALBUS: Why Princess, I think you already know the answer to that.
-Albus goes on to admit that since they need her around, Hanz will see to almost any whim she has.
ALBUS: ...other than escaping, of course.
-Suddenly, a Gamigoon runs into the room. The goon tells the villains in the room Volcaflora was defeated, and that Mario has procured a page of the Tome of Shroom.
-Albus takes this surprisingly well, although he is coldly disappointed. Albus decides to double up on his efforts, to which Ceptu Al the Artist and the Gamirate Commandos (Rux, Pip & Scizz) respond.
-Albus tells his trusted commanders to head to the Thorny Swamplands and Cocoa Fair, since there may be some pages around there as well.
-Ceptu-Al says he's going to paint the swamp with many colors, none of them pleasant. Meanwhile, the Gamirates argue with each other about how best to search the fair.
ALBUS: Just...just go.
-After Albus, Ceptu-Al, the Gamirates and Brutus leave, Hanz tells Peach that Albus does have a brilliant mind. However, Hanz wishes Albus didn't go down this road. Hanz proceeds to pour Peach some tea.
-Peach thanks Hanz for his service, to which Hanz replies he's happy to provide.

BOOM BOOM & POM POM 1
-At Bowser's Castle from TTYD and SPM, Boom Boom is looking around for Pom Pom.

-He bashes through some walls for a "shortcut".

-Eventually, Boom Boom finds Pom Pom at the door to Bowser's room, alongside Kamek.
-Boom Boom tells Kamek that he's raring to kidnap Princess Peach alongside the king again. Pom Pom tells him that's what she went to see Kamek about as well.
-Kamek informs the duo that due to the return of Bowser's case of laryngitis, they'll have to put off any evil deeds for the time being. He goes on to say how, ever since Kammy went on vacation, it hasn't been the same. Kamek remembers how he warned Bowser to let the Sticker Comet pass by at last year's Sticker Fest, but Bowser wouldn't listen, and Kamek feels it made Bowser's laryngitis worse
KAMEK: ...not to mention the flying castle hadn't finished construction yet. I'm afraid the master hasn't quite learned about patience.
-A Lakitu flies into the castle, and tells Kamek that the Gami Squadron kidnapped Peach.
KAMEK: And the bad news keeps on coming.
-After Kamek goes to Bowser's room, Boom Boom discusses with Pom Pom that maybe they should prove themselves by taking the initiative and going to the Pastel region themselves to get Peach.
BOOM BOOM: Oy, BB? You're always such a rebel, right? And that's what I always liked about you, mate!
-Boom Boom and Pom Pom leave the castle via a small airship.

PIP- i.imgur.com/fK9e87S.png
SCIZZ- i.imgur.com/JFJNsOB.png

PLUMBER ARTIFACTS
-As said before, Plumber Artifacts replace Things.
-Cel-shaded objects based on Mario characters.
-There are at least 32 Plumber Artifacts total.
-All Plumber artifacts run off Plumber Points
-In battle, only 1 Plumber Artifact can be used per turn (although Mario can still use a non-Artifact attack to go with it)

SUPER FLAGS
-Like Sticker Star, Super Flags are earned from achieving certain thresholds.
-Super Flags are mailed by Parakarry to the post office. The details are viewable in the Pause Menu.
-The player can StreetPass with other players.
-In Relic Hunter, earning Super Flags adds certain gameplay benefits.
-Super Flags are explained in a (skippable) tutorial after completing and returning from World 1.
-CRAZY SINGER: Clear World 1. (Strengthens Cayrla's Field Move).
-COINOSSEUR: Find all overworld coins. 1000 COINS. (Reduces shop prices by 30%).
-LUIGI LUNATIC: Find Luigi 15 times. (Unlocks Luigi.).
-MASTER RELIC HUNTER: Do everything in the game. (Adds 1 Attack to all attacks).

NEW AREA
-New to this version of Relic Hunter is an entire extra world- the Holey Underground (World G).
-Containing 5 levels, this world is accessed a different way than usually. After meeting a Shadow Monty and beating the world, Mario can return to where he found the Shadow Monty. The Tome of Shroom will use the area page to create a portal leading underground.
-The enemies in each level of World G are all derived from which world it was entered from. To make things tougher, all enemies have the Shadow status ability, increasing their stats to what the next World Ring's enemies would be like. For example, G-1's enemies are just as strong as what the normal enemies of World 2 and 3 would be.
-While the area is optional, it does contain important backstory information.

G-1: Underneath the Mountainside
Gameplay
-Returning obstacles include lava flows, mystery mazes.
-During this stage, Mario can ride a minecart. Use the A Button to jump, and B to swat with the hammer.

Story
-Mario and his partners arrive in the underground. Caryla is astonished at the mining operation underneath her home.
-After clearing the lava flow section, Mario and co come across a destroyed carving of a large crowned Monty being respected by his subjects. Junio has no clue who the king is, as there's no records of him existing in this world. Caryla is spooked by the crown in the image.
-Upon reaching the end of the stage, the group finds a pile of shadowy goo, torn off by the Shadow Monty they saw earlier.
MONTY: You?! You all followed me down here?! Good good good! Anyways, you're Mario, right? You must free us from this-this plague of shadow! We've been down here so long that it's- it's actually painful to see the light! Here, take this!
Mario recieved the Key Piece (1/5).
MONTY: The way to the rest of our land has been severed too much. Even we can't-can't easily travel anymore. The only area that connects us is...sealed. You must get the other pi-pieces and remove the seal. Please!

2-1: Thorny Bush
-Many, many vines exist in this level- some go up and down, some go in and out, and some go side-to-side, among other movement. Mario must jump over these vines.
-A certain character keeps pranking Mario in various ways (telling him the wrong direction, telling him a sticker is safe to take, telling Mario to walk by some bushes for a shortcut, etc.)
-Near the end of the stage, a huge vine blocks the way. The vine must be burned somehow to destroy it...

-During the stage, a punkish Draglet youth keeps pranking Mario and his friends. He also insults everyone in Mario's party so far. This greatly annoys Junio.
-In the middle of the stage, Mario and friends meet up with Ceptu-Al. Rather than looking for the page, the guy is just taking his time painting the landscape, not a thought in the world.
-When Ceptu-Al notices Mario and Junio, he boasts of his superior, skillful and scary talent, then sicks 5 Gami Squadron minions at once to fight. He then takes off in a painted rocket copied from another painting.
-After the battle, Junio analyzes the painting of the rocket and has another object he can paint on anything Chrome. Obviously, Junio can't think of a time when he and Mario would need it.
-After winning the battle, the young punkish Draglet, Doug, sneaks up on Mario to prank him yet again. In a stroke of luck, the Draglet sneezes and ignites the giant vine, allowing access to the goal.

2-2: Pumpkin Shantytown
-Town stage.
-Once Mario gets a certain partner, he must talk to everyone in town for a reason pertaining to that character before the guards open the way to the next stage.

-When Mario and friends arrive here, Doug appears yet again to taunt them...but this time, the village elder sees this and decides to drag Doug by the tail. He also tells Mario and friends to come by.
-At the elder's tent, he apologizes for any inconvienience Doug may have caused Mario, and says this needs to change.
-The elder also says that it's a known fact that Doug has been pranking everyone for a while. The mayor makes a deal: he'll tell the guards to let Mario and company through if he brings Doug to everyone in town to apologize. Cayrla especially takes up to the task.
-DOUG reluctantly joins the party! Press the Y Button to fire a fireball across a distance and across pits.
-Partner sticker: Fireball (Breath a fireball on an enemy. 6 damage, goes up by 3 for every Green Star Doug has)
-Battle perk: Fiery Fighter (Adds fire attributes to normal Jump and Hammer stickers)

2-5: Crimson Manor
-Every main puzzle room temporarily disables partner abilities due to creating a phenomenon of fears that appeal to each partner. Cayrla doesn't want to be seen as unhelpful, Junio doesn't want to be ridiculed as a failed artist, and Doug doesn't want to be alone.
-Mario must use his jump and hammer skills to find the stones creating this phenomenon.
-With the partner from World 3, some weak walls can be bashed down to skip some of the tougher challenges.

-At the start of the level, the Tome of Shroom acts up, revealing that a page is here.
-When the group gets inside, they feel awfully depressed. Only Mario is unaffected.
DOUG: Nothing really "bugs" you, does it.
MARIO: (nods) M-hm.
-When Mario destroys the stone freaking out Cayrla, everyone assures her that she's providing much help to the adventure.
-When Mario destroys the stone depressing Junio, Doug admits that Junio has real skills as an artist.
-When Mario destroys the stone depressing Doug, they ask him about his past. Doug reveals that the other Draglets never really accepted him, and his folks never really stood up for him. Mario mimes out that Doug has them as friends. This helps Doug feel a little better.
-When the heroes reach the main room, they see a humanoid Swampire that's red all over and with a black cape, playing the piano...with his guitarist Boo.
-The Swampire thing, Maestro Crimsopire, stops playing the piano.
The guitarist Boo keeps going.
MAESTRO CRIMSOPIRE: Trooent!?
Trooent stops.
MAESTRO CRIMSOPIRE: As I vas saying, you've made it through my diavolical traps. And ze red vun- he vas not affected vy ze Fear Stones. Impressif.
Mario does a thumbs up.
MAESTRO: Unfortunatevy, ze pleasantries- zey end here. I know vut brings you to my abode. You vant ze page I just acquired.
DOUG: Yeah, Crimmy! The page! We kind of need it, so if you wouldn't mind-
MAESTRO: Vut I do mind, little Douglet. I haf...my own best interest for this page. If you vant it, you'll have to take it over my unmoving cape!

-BOSS TIME! MAESTRO CRIMSOPIRE
HP: 100, ATK: 7, COINS: 225
-During the battle, Maestro Crimsopire hangs from the ceiling, his cape dangling down.
-To get him down, either burn his cape with Doug's Fireball, use Quake Hammer and its powered-up variants, attack the piano with Hammer, or use a Plumber Artifact that creates vibrations. Any of these actions will loosen Maestro Crimsopire from the ceiling.
-When the Maestro attacks, he can heal 7 HP for himself, so be sure to defend to minimize the damage.

-After the battle, the Maestro turns into a large red Swampire. Unfortunately, he drops the page, allowing Doug to grab it.
MAESTRO: ...vy? Vy do you vant do destroy yourselffs so? By gathering ze pages, you seal Pastelora's fate in a plague of shadows! I must rest! Zen I must plan...
He then flies away into the attack.
JUNIO: Well, that was...peculiar. What was he talking about, Doug?
DOUG: All I know about the guy is he's been around. My folks say he's lived in Pastelora for over a thousand years. ...OR maybe the Maestro is just messing with us. Still... that fight was awesome! I've never seen anyone actually fight the Maestro before! You guys- you're something else! Maybe I'll hang around for a little longer!
-Mario gets the Page.

END OF CHAPTER 2!

NOTE ABOUT OTHER CHARACTER SEGMENTS
-Other character segments always happens in a set order, for sake of focused design. The player always get the second Peach segment after clearing one world, and get the second Boom Boom and Pom Pom segment after clearing both worlds. not based on exact world complete.
-Only change depending on the order of worlds completed is some dialogue pertaining to certain situations.
-Save Blocks exist in each segment, due to their lengthier time.


PRINCESS PEACH 2
-Princess Peach and Hanz are having biscuits and tea, talking about Mario and Albus respectively.
-After Princess Peach finishes talking about Mario, Hanz reveals part of his history with Albus. Albus was descended from some of the first citizens of Pastel City, and Hanz' own ancestor was also a butler of that family.
-Things were looking good for Albus' past family, as they were respected around the city...until one day, everyone fell ill from an unknown sickness. Slowly, their games ended.
HANZ: History shows that it took three powerful entities... though some historians insist there were four... to seal the sickness away, deep below Pastel City and the world itself.
PEACH: Sealing a dark power underneath a city... you know, that sounds an awful lot like-
HANZ: I know what you're thinking- and yes, your guess has strong evidence of being correct. The Gami Squadron- especially I- have long suspected that the sickness is somehow connected to a beautiful, yet terrible, creature from another region. One that you've had the horror of meeting, no less...
-A flash of this creature appears...
-Regardless of the above, back then, the surviving citizens found some proof that Albus' great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather somehow harbored and nurtured this sickness. The family was shamed so much, as far as leaving Pastel City. Hanz' family left with them.
-It seemed like everywhere Albus' ancestors went, they were shunned, leading to a family driven mad. It was a miracle that Albus turned out as well adjusted as he did.
-Peach sympathizes with Hanz and Albus, but asks what this has to do with Albus' plans. Before Hanz can answer, though, the intercom turns on, and Brutus orders Hanz to report immediately to the main chamber of the headquarters.
-Before Hanz leaves, he gives Peach a potion. He says there IS one way around the fortress undetected by anyone. Hanz then leaves.
-Peach drinks the potion...and becomes a small Peach-like Flutter.

-During this section, Flutter-Peach must fly through the air-systems of the Gami Squadron HQ, eavesdropping on various Gamigoons about various stuff and directions.
-Some Micro Goombas live in the air-systems, though. If they touch Flutter-Peach, she must start again from the last vent she entered through.
-If Flutter-Peach gets hit too often, some more challenging Micro-Goombas are removed.
-If Flutter-Peach doesn't get hit too often, on her way back, she finds an Ultra Mushroom Sticker (heals 60 HP) that she stores immediately in a chest in her prison...

-When Flutter-Peach gets to the HQ's main room, she hears Albus, Brutus and Hanz talking to each other.
-Brutus says he's raring to go teach that Mario punk and his friends a lesson, but Albus says that patience is a virtue often rewarded, and to wait until Ceptu-Al/the Gamirate Commandos (whichever one you didn't beat yet) return. For now, he just wants Brutus and the other Gamigoons to verify the research about the Tome of Shroom.
-Hanz, knowing Peach is nearby, loudly asks Albus about "the thing under the city". Albus, suspicious at his friend's forgetfulness, says they're getting tremors under the city. Also, during the Sticker Fest incident in the Decal Lands last year, an unknown type of energy was being produced under the city. This energy seemed to travel all the way from Pastelora to the Decal Lands- a troubling thought, as all this evidence indicates the sickness is still alive.
-Brutus brags that with the sickness and the Tome of Shroom together, they can rule the world.
ALBUS: Yes we can, in a manner of speaking. Now, on a somewhat related note, how do you find Peach, Hanz?
HANZ: The Princess? I find her quite polite, Albus.
ALBUS: Good, good. If she were rude, then I would think the world is crazier than it already is. And that would be quite unpleasant, wouldn't you agree? Bwahahaha!
BRUTUS: Gorhorhorhort!
HANZ: Hehe...yes, very amusing.
-After Hanz and Brutus leave...
ALBUS: What polite henchpeople I has. It truly is a shame I didn't tell them more.
-Albus turns around. He then takes off his large glasses (his face unseen), goes into a teleportation machine, and teleports away.
-Peach wonders about the first bit before flying back the way she came.

HOLEY UNDERGROUND LEVEL 2
G-2: Shadow Labyrinth
Gameplay
-Returning obstacles include moving vines, Swampire waves, and Fear Stones.
-A thick mist covers parts of the labyrinth. As long as the mist is there, Mario is teleported elsewhere.
-To remove the mist, Mario and co must find three different Chrome Lamps. Then, Junio has to paint the lamps back to normal after seeing the original colored lamp elsewhere in the labyrinth.

Story
-1/3 of the way through the level, Junio realizes the labyrinth walls have what looks like "doors", "windows" and unique markings at certain intervals.
CARYLA: Maybe this wasn't always a labyrinth, but rather, a community.
JUNIO: You know, Caryla, you may be right.
Speaking of the devil, several Shadow Monties scurry past the team, into different abodes.
-2/3 of the way through the level, Mario and co. come across a family tree of sorts. This family tree begins with Lord Montyrantus, and ends with King Montgomery 5000 years later.
-Upon inspecting the dates and converting them to the "current calender", Junio is shocked to learn Montgomery's birth is over a thousand and fifty years ago. In addition, Caryla notices a line connecting Montgomery to...a cut off part of the wall where an image would be, leaving only a date of over a thousand years ago.
DOUG: Over a thousand? Like what my folks said about...the Maestro.
CARYLA: OK- either someone is doing a really scary good job pulling a prank on us, or there's something we don't know about Pastelora's past.
MARIO: Hmmmmm.
-If this is done after the final boss, a slightly different conversation happens. This will be detailed later.
-At the end of the stage, Mario and co. find another Key Piece. However, they also see a caped young Shadow Monty with sunglasses and blue armor.

3-2: Cocoa Carnival
Gameplay
-This stage has 5 minigames in it.
-To enter the next stage, you must win 3 of the minigames and obtain their ticket.
-If you win all 5 minigames, Mario gets 1 of the game's 2 SP Up Packets (gives 5 extra SP), with 3 Super-class stickers rewarded after that.
-MONTY WHACK: Whack 20 Monty Moles in 30 seconds!
-JUMP DUDE: Survive a barrage of baseballs for 30 seconds!
-DAYZEE IDOL: Sing at the right time to earn points! Get at least a 60% rating to get your reward!
-PAINTING THE FAIR BLACK: Scribble in the color of 5 objects in 20 seconds!
-STICKER SLING: Sling 20 of the 30 Baseball Things on targets to win!

Story
-When Mario first gets here, he and his friends see the Gamirate Commandos and Krampus get on a roller coaster heading into the castle attraction.
-As the three complain about the time it took to get admission, Pip notices Mario and friends. Panicking, the three immediately order the roller-coaster to start, which the slug-like owner of the coaster obliges to.
-Mario attempts to give chase, but the slug-like roller-coaster owner says they can't go in unless they have at least 3 tickets from 5 possible attractions.
-Though Junio complains, Mario mimes out giving in to the owner's demand. Junio agrees, realizing they shouldn't make a scene at such a fun-looking location.
-The proprieter of the Monty Whack minigame, a Whacka, is relieved that at least he's not out there. Strangely, though, he looks wary at Mario.
-Jump Dude's Ukiki host is bananas in his explanation of the minigame.
-The Toad hostess at Dayzee Idol encourages Cayrla to sing, as do Mario and friends, and realizing what she did to get here, Cayrla obliges.
-A gnarly PtFB owner in the form of a Brustache tells Junio to just let it all out, and he does.
-The owner of the Sticker Sling attraction...is none other than Sling a Thing Toad. He formally introduces himself as Thro T, and still possesses his...unique characteristics towards Mario, to which Mario's partners are confused. Thro T goes on to say he found some strange spheres right behind his old tent at the Sticker Fest when it was ending, and decided to use them as ammo for this new stand.
-Once the tickets are obtained, the slug guy lets Mario and friends by. He says what an a-maze-ing place the Cocoa Castle is, and proclaims himself a real card, like the castle. A series of "..." balloons from Mario and friends ensues, to the utter obliviousness of the slug guy.
