Creating an "Impossible" Paper Mario Cartridge

Описание: Sort of a sequel to the "Evil" Paper Mario cartridge :)

What if games had an "Impossible" difficulty setting? I'm not talking about difficult bosses or tight platforming segments, I mean solving some puzzles! A bit of creativity combined with glitches allows us to make our own puzzles in Paper Mario - but just how difficult can we make them? The answer: theoretically impossible!

Technically speaking, these are softlocks tied to save files. To retain the "puzzle" fantasy behind this video, we are sticking with softlocks that allow the player to move around and interact with the world, only to find they cannot progress the game's story. Ever. There are enough of these puzzle softlocks at our disposal to do a unique impossible puzzle for all four game saves on a single cartridge.

For a written explanation of these file softlocks, head here! I recommend watching the video first though. I was going to add it in the description here, but YouTube says it was too long...
