New Hacked Camera Discoveries in Paper Mario!

I've been playing this game for 19 years and learned a lot of interesting things just by hacking the camera! All footage was taken from my Twitch livestream,   / stryder7x  

Dolphin has a "Freelook" camera hack that allows us to pan the camera in any direction, zoom in and out, and angle it around. Normally, Paper Mario's camera is squarely centered on Mario, which allowed the developers to take many shortcuts, such as teleporting characters and objects out of bounds. A general trend in this game is to store everything 1,000 units below the center of a room. There are some inconsistencies with these developer trends though - some objects are flagged as invisible, while others end up staying visible in very unexpected locations. There are a lot of things offscreen that are easy to overlook, and whether or not they're visible could depend on a lot of factors, such as our story progress.

The most interesting things we can view with a hacked camera tend to be unused or inexplicable objects. To my knowledge, a few of these were previously undiscovered, such as the S. Jump Charge badge oddity, a seemingly unused off camera area in Dry Dry Ruins, and Kammy Koopa's detached arm floating below Goomba Village.

My friend G1J joined me during the first few chapters of this playthrough. It made things a lot more entertaining in my opinion! Thanks G1 :)

I also want to refer you guys to Shesez's Boundary Break episode on Paper Mario, since I didn't include everything already covered in his video. Also, if you enjoy content like this, his channel is definitely the go-to:    • Boundary Break: Paper Mario (N64)
