Stryder7x, also known as simply Stryder, is a YouTuber and Twitch streamer known for creating videos detailing glitches in the video games Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
YouTube career
Stryder7x created his YouTube channel on April 17, 2014, and has uploaded more than 100 videos in which he documents various glitches and fun facts about the 2000 video game Paper Mario, as well as its 2004 successor, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Stryder7x has also completed a playthrough of each game, with all of the in-game text having been repeatedly put through Google Translate.[1]
In March 2016, Stryder7x uploaded a video in which he explained that striking a block with Mario's hammer in Paper Mario more than four billion times would cause integer overflow, allowing additional items to be obtained from the block. Overflowing the value a second time would cause the game to crash, though Stryder7x estimated that this would require hitting the block nonstop for just over 416 years.[2] This remains Stryder7x's most popular video, having received more than seven million views as of 2025.[3]
In October 2016, Stryder7x uploaded a video showing that using a glitch to go out of bounds and prematurely access certain areas in Paper Mario prompted special dialogue from non-player characters suggesting that the player should not be in the area or be seeing the dialogue, with text in the Japanese version seemingly telling the player to report any bugs to the developers.[4][5][6][7][8]
In August 2018, Stryder7x uploaded a video showing that a lottery system in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is not actually random, but rather rewards the player with a certain prize depending on how many days have elapsed since a lottery ticket is purchased. Moreover, the GameCube system clock could be altered to guarantee a prize, though resetting the clock would require the player to pay to restart the lottery.[9][10]
In 2016, Stryder7x began theorizing how Dry Dry Ruins, a location in Paper Mario, could be entered earlier than intended without a key item. Three years later, in June 2019, Stryder7x discovered that this could be accomplished via a glitch involving pushing a Toad for more than a hour, then using the Toad to clip through the ground and into the ruins.[11][12]
Stryder7x was featured in a video about Paper Mario on the YouTube channel for Did You Know Gaming?.[13]
Reception
Stryder7x has received praise from multiple video game journalists. John Keefer of Shacknews and Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku both referred to him as an expert on Paper Mario.[5][7] Gizmodo's Avery Ellis called Stryder7x a "[g]litch wizard",[2] Destructoid's Steven Hansen referred to him as an "obsessive glitch master",[4] and Eric Henn, a writer for Static Media's SVG, dubbed Stryder7x "YouTube's leading Paper Mariologist".[11]
