...the Evil King chortles, and a sacred rod and seven lights fade into darkness. A lovely maiden rises to the heavens.

But lo! A hero clad in red appears and travels the world. He gathers around him eight who are pure of heart.

This hero restores the seven lights, and they raise him high into the sky.

On the airy heights, the hero clashes with the Evil King. The lovely maiden wishes...

So. Ten years ago, Paper Mario was released in the US. Here's my tribute to that particular game, something I started back in January and worked on until now -- there was a lot of tweaking here and there. I had to redo some backgrounds and effects, mess around with figuring out a pose for some characters, and even *gasp* get the courage to use my voice on a video version of this.

Yeah, video version , hosted on TinyPic (note: volume is low. I tried boosting the volume for the voice, but the general quality of it dropped when I did that). It's not spectacular, especially since I used a cheap mic and the default Windows Movie Maker, but eh. If I can figure out how to improve it using those or some other free editors (I used Audacity as well, to reduce the noise in the original recording), I'll definitely give it a shot.

I don't think the link will expire or anything, but if it becomes a dead link, let me know. I might eventually move it somewhere other than TinyPic (not really interested in putting it on YouTube at the moment, for various reasons).

So, how about that PM3DS, everyone? I swear Nintendo's just trying to make their fans go broke this year.
