A Insignificant detail I noticed while playing Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Link Thread Closed
I was playing Paper Mario: Sticker Star once again due to me wanting to test my plan (the plan was to be able to chose whatever chapter you want to start with), and thus this lead me to 3-7: Rustle Burrow, which introduces a new enemy into the Paper Mario canon, Scuttle Bug (which uses its appearance from New Super Mario Bros.). I went into battle and noted this



What. The. Fuck. Is this doing in a Mario game?....

They have two attacks. One is the slam into you (AKA: The filler attack added to most enemies because they didn't want to make it play like a Paper Mario game), and two, to spit a shitball on you!? According to MarioWiki.

Although I think this was confusion with the mid-boss of 3-7, Giant Scuttle Bug, with the way that the fight starts.

So this isn't going to argue about how it's a shitball and not a web, it's going to ask something. What in the name of evolution would allow this to happen, especially in the Mario world?

I don't have even a galactic idea what you're talking about.
Yeah could you reiterate please, preferably in a language understood by humans?

And now... the previous post in a nutshell...

I was playing Paper Mario: Sticker Star again for... reasons, and when I got to 3-7: Rustle Burrow, I noticed this.



What the fuck is THIS doing in a Mario game!? I mean the Scuttle Bugs have the standard attack to ram into you, and the other one is the shit a shitball on you!?

Now, you might say "this is a web attack", but that's not the question I have.. It is: What the hell allowed this to happen?

The scuttlebug made a ball of web string and shot it at you?

I don't understand the question.
It's a spidery bug that shoots webs, why would that not exist in Mario?

The question is why the hell would a Scuttle Bug shoot web out of it's ass?

Well where else is he going to shoot web?
It's in The Thousand-Year Door, too. Sure, the Piders shoot the web balls out of their mouths, but...where do you think the web they're hanging on is coming from?


Also, in real life, spiders who spin webs shoot the string from their butts. I think silkworms, who we get silk from, do the same thing, so if you wear silk, congrats! You're wearing caterpillar poop. :P

On top of it being reality, look at their introduction in NSMB. Notice their position when falling from a string. Guess which end they're hanging from.

TTYD I've only played up to Chapter 5. But keep in mind NSMB only was the source of their appearance in this game. They actually were introduced in Super Mario 64.

Well, i think this has been resolved.
