1 | ''Tales Retold'' is a parody of events in the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' Platform/{{ROBLOX}} world, by [[https://vid.me/main_gi main_gi]]. It continues a previous series in the same style called [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6LQ-KNPYKUR8OUDztlqYzNOmhMl7HYUg Tales from Paper Mario RP]] which [[AdaptationDistillation shortened]] events that would happen in the server. Both series spoof both Roblox and roleplay tropes, while the latter also throws slight plot and story elements in. |

9 | !!Tales Retold contains examples of: |
10 | * AdaptationDistillation: A part of all the episodes, but most in Episode 5, as a direct parody of a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN-c2XbXIGY Roblox project that uses footage from the game]]. |
11 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: |
12 | * AuthorAvatar: Not so subtly with the W+L emblem Mario. WordOfGod says it more represents a skilled ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor TTYD]]'' player. |
13 | * BadBadActing: It's a parody of a Roblox roleplay. What did you expect? |
14 | * CharacterExaggeration: Pretty much every character in Episode 5. |
15 | * ChirpingCrickets |
16 | ** Characters don't even travel to "Crippling depression". |
17 | ** When the 'battle' is over in Episode 5, but everyone's still in the room. |
18 | * DeadpanSnarker: Mostly the W+L Emblem Mario. Eventually needs a P-Up D-Down badge to distinguish himself from another character with the general same sprite. |
19 | * FacePalm: "Rougeport". |
20 | * FourthWallObserver: W+L Emblem Mario, naturally. |
21 | ** To some extent also applies to other text on the screen. |
22 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: Episode 5 contains a scene that's interrupted by an in-universe advertisement, but you can still interpret what happens. |
23 | ** In the same episode, Erth falls into a hole he just a few seconds ago warned the group to avoid. |
24 | * HypocriticalHumor: Erth warns the group to not fall into an invisible hole. Guess what happens. |
25 | * I Never Told You My Name: Subverted twice in Episode 5. The Mario roleplayer knows the name of the Bob-omb roleplayer (Boomer) by reading the nametag. Then another situation comes up with Goombella simply knowing Mario's name. |
26 | * MediumAwareness: In the sense that each character's playing a game - namely, the Paper Mario Roleplay game. |
27 | ** Mario in Episode 5 uses the information from a character's nametag to call him by name before he even said it. The character tries to rescue it by asking how he knows, only [[NotHelpingYourCase to point out the nametag anyway]]. |
28 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Since the parody already has so many characters making spelling and grammar mistakes, actual game screenshots of the source material making typos had to be added. |
29 | ** To the static in the last part of Episode 4. In fact, all of the static was from another Website/YouTube video. |
30 | * OhCrap: Happens to Color Splash Mario in Episode 3. |
31 | * OneSteveLimit: Completely averted. The confusion is often a source of jokes. |
32 | * PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: Two of them in Episode 1. |
33 | * PlotHole: Bound to happen with so many roleplay plots making no sense. |
34 | ** In the original Tales from Paper Mario RP, all the toads are gods of some kind. |
35 | ** In Episode 5, characters compliment Koops for doing great in a battle. Bipi later points out he was never in the battle at all. |
36 | ** 2 hoktils |
37 | * RunningGag: Literally. |
38 | ** People losing 5 HP for no reason. |
39 | ** The shotgun. |
40 | ** Toads being gods. |
41 | ** y |
42 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: "FemaleGamer17xx" in Episode 3. |
43 | * ShoutOut: To [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor The Rewind Chronicles]] music. |
44 | * SpannerInTheWorks: WL Mario by far, but the blue Shy Guy and Bowser in Episode 3 also take a piece of the pie. |
45 | * StylisticSuck: Among other things, the most obvious is the Microsoft Sam voice is used for every character (with different pitches), as well as every character except a select few constantly making spellinge rrors. |
