What kind of partners would you like to see in the upcoming Paper Mario title for the Nintendo 3DS? A Chain Chomp, a Green Toad, and a floating silver crown similar to a Pixl have been confirmed. Acceptable ideas are any enemy from any Mario, DK, or Yoshi game. You can make up certain subspecies and "crossbreeds" as you please, like Sky-Blue Spinies are crosses of Buzzy Beetles and Spinies, and Spiked Parabuzzies are crosses between Parabuzzies and Spike Tops. The crosses have to be reasonable though, like no Goomba-Yoshi crosses. And, please be descriptive as far as color schemes and such.

I think that a partner that nods to Epic Yarn would be kind of nice, keeping with the theme of paper and all. And while a Chain Chomp could certainly do that grappling hook and crinkling paper business, I think there should be a partner devoted to that entirely. I can't think of anybody at the moment that has those types of abilities.
If the game had a Hammer, Boomerang, Fire, or All-three-of-them-together-Bro partner, though... that would definitely sell it for me.

Well, Ice Bros, following their debut in NSMBWii, are to be included, so if their was a helper similar to what you just described + Ice Bro would make me shit myself on the spot and pry the game off of Walmart's shelves on day one.
As for a partner I would like to see, how about a cross between a Buster Beetle and an Ice Bro. So, like a Buster Beetle with an Ice Bro-like pattern on his shell, and Ice Bro shoes. He would have the abilities of both Buster Beetles and Ice Bros, so he would throw both Ice Blocks and Ice Balls. Take note that neither species have ever been in a Paper Mario game, and only one has been confirmed for Paper Mario 3D.

Let's have some fun here...

The first partner, the classic goomba, Goombasca (Play on Goomba and latin ASCELLA, wing)

She would be a light pink Paragoomba that would be most of the time on the ground, flying only when she walks and does some attacks..

She would have the descriptive ability of the classic Goomba, that let her describe the suurondings.

Personnality-wise, she would be somewhat shy, but would always be ready to help her friends. She would fear reptiles (Including Koopas and Yoshis).

Her attacks would be :
-Headbonk, she just jump on the enemy. Waht else to say? No FP, one damage, double for Action Command.

-Tattle, it's a classic to each Goombas. Inform the player of facts and stats of the opponent for 0 FP.

-Multi-Bonk, again a classic. She reapetly jump on the enemy for as long as you don't miss your Action Command for 3 FP.

-Sky Dive, she need to use those wings for something! She rises up and the player quickly move the control stick to the left to charge. The more you have charged, the bigger the damage. Max 5 damage at 100% for 4 FP.

That was really good. I'll get some more info about my idea later. As far as names go, the species name should be "Ice Buster". As far as the partner's name goes, I'm stumped. Ideas would be appreciated.

We need a Shy Guy.
With headphones.
And a punk attitude.
And a sling shot.
(Rei Guy)

But seriously, we need a Shy Guy partner named Guy or something else punny.

Want be to build a complete profile for Mr. Guy?

Okay, I've got an attacks list for my Ice Buster partner, but I still need a name!

-Shell Toss- climbs inside his shell and gets kicked forward.
-Ice Ball- shoots a freezing Ice Ball at the foe.
-Ice Block- Throws a heavy Ice Block at the opponent.

I'm gonna need help with damage and FP calculation, and, of course, the name. But I need one more attack, and I would like it to be original and creative. Here is some backstory:
Meet [insert Ice Buster's name here]. He is a self-confident weight lifting Ice Buster. He's not as cocky as most weight lifters are. His best friend is Heavy, the Heavy Parabeetle. They met while weight lifting(since Heavy has no arms he sees how much wait he can carry on his back). Heavy seemed to have reached his limit on how much wait he could carry. [insert the Ice Buster's name here] noticed, and had an idea. He told Heavy that he would help Heavy pick up that weight by standing underneath him and picking him up from below, giving him a boost, to get him up in the air, thus also helping [insert Ice Buster's name here]'s strength. His plan worked, and they became best friends soon after. Heavy isn't the smartest buzzy out there, if you catch my drift, which makes him rather humble at times. Mario will meet one of them, depending on whether he goes to the summit of [insert ice-related name here] Mountain(Heavy), or underneath towards [insert same name here] Caves([insert Ice Buster's name here]). They will each say they were separated from the other, and ask for his help. They'll give him a hint as to where they might be(a.k.a. where they are). They say they'll follow him down the mountain/ out of the cave and wait for him at the foot of the mountain. When he returns with the other, they'll thank him and happily join his party.
BACKSTORY END

So, whaddaya think?

Rei, you did it wrong.

It should be more like this :
-1st attack is a tackle or bash or slap, but it's close range.
-2nd attack is a cheap but effective attack.
-3rd and 4th can be either Mario-boosters, debuffers, heavy damager or multi-targtes hitters.

So it could be...

Shy Bash, maybe a thief function for him called... Thievery, Slingshot and Shyster (nice ref is nice).

With some improved mechanics.

Anyone wanna help me with my Ice Buster helper?
