Episode 115 – Same Song, Different System: Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door

1 hour 42 minutes

We’ve covered the Mario RPG games and their music WAY back on Episode 29 but today, we’re revisiting one of the best Paper Mario games out there: Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door. Recently, it received a remaster on the Nintendo Switch and while the original soundtrack is an option in this new version, a brand new redone soundtrack has some major differences from the original. To discuss the game and the music comparisons, we’ve brought in a Thousand Year Door expert: Justin’s wife Ariel Schneider! Hear each song and get the breakdown, as well as some fun discussions on the wacky cast of characters in this game! All on the 115th episode of XVGM Radio!

Big thanks to Ariel Schneider for joining us for this episode!
