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.
