Dark Aspects of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Part 3: Twilight Town & Vivian)

A remake of my Dark Aspects of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door analysis for GameCube, now covering the remake on Switch! In this episode, it's all about the dour chapter 4 and a pair of shadowy characters adding intrigue to the main plot. Doo_liss the shapeshifting Duplighost has stolen Mario's identity, and Vivian (a former enemy) teams up with our hero to stop him. I do discuss the latter character's gender identity after careful research on the matter, and report on whether it was always the intention of the writers for her to be a trans woman. ⍟ Subscribe:    / @thanegaming   ⍟ If you like my content, please consider supporting me on Patreon.
