Debut: Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Yeah, Sticker Star... I know... but look! Something good and fun that came out of it!
âMariachi Guysâ is actually not an official term for them, but weirdly, thereâs not an official term for the entire group! I think that one works just fine, and it turns out the wiki does too. The individual names are Sombrero Guy, Maraca Guy, and Accordion Guy. I guess âGuitar Guyâ wasnât interesting enough? Or maybe he was the first one and therefore the leader? Who knows? Not me!
These Guys basically fulfill the role of a bard for the enemy side! At least, I think so. Iâve never exactly played any, like... ârealâ RPGs. But if you enter a battle while a Mariachi Guy is in the area, heâll hop into frame at the last moment and join in on the fun! Or maybe I should put âfunâ in quotation marks, since this is Sticker Starâs battle system weâre talking about here...
But anyway! These Guys play their instruments, causing beneficial effects to other enemies, like healing some HP or increasing a stat. When theyâre the only enemy left, theyâll flee the battle. Look at that! They just want to play nice music to help their friends!
Rarely, youâll encounter all three together! Just playing their music in the overworld. And you can attack them and defeat them all... but that gives you nothing and there is no reason to! They may occasionally throw their hats all at once as an attack, but hey, youâre the one who decided to pick a fight with the whole band!
And lastly, in the overworld, theyâll play their instrument along with the music! Letâs have a listen! If you like what you hear, support them on SoundCloud!
