Paper Mario has been around for almost two decades now, and those of us that have played it countless times are looking for new challenges. Common restrictions include no upgrading heart points, completing the game without upgrading partners, or restricting the number of level ups.
Because of this game's incredible glitches, we can create new challenges that would otherwise be impossible. Chapter 6 is not among the game's glitchiest segments, but Loading Zone Storage gives us a handful of opportunities - and it's possible to finish the whole chapter without any partner swaps or berries. By name, the Crystal Berry is an exception, however, it is classified as a Key Item. The other berry items are edible and infinitely obtainable. Most importantly, they are used to pass through various gates, and are the ones we'll be skipping. We also avoid switching partners, just to make things more difficult. The result? A combination of extremely challenging LZS exploits used to skip these requirements.
I included the frame-perfect counter similar to Saving the Yoshi Kids Without Sushie. Keep in mind I limited this to "required" frame-perfect inputs to perform this series of glitches optimally. There are plenty of other times where perfect movement is executed, but it would be misleading to add every single frame-perfect instance.
The sheer difficulty of this challenge required special tools to play to theoretical perfection. Each button input was recorded and later played back at full speed to show this is possible. That said, even the most experienced Paper Mario players would likely never complete this challenge.
