- the Castle Crashers have so much potential for a Smash Bros. fighter. I mean, think about it.
What is the TFP2?:
The TFP2 stands for the Toxiquid Fighters Pass 2, and is a set of seven videos detailing how I, as well as some special guests, would make a certain character work in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is complete with a moveset, stage, custom music (made by HighPoweredArt), spirit board, classic mode, and everything in between.
Characters in the TFP2: the Castle Crashers, LABO Man, Shovel Knight, Dr. Eggman, Hat Kid, Sora, and Hornet.
What are the Castle Crashers?:
Castle Crashers is a 2D indie-game style hack-and-slash video game developed by The Behemoth. It features music created by members of Newgrounds. The Xbox 360 version was released on August 27, 2008 via Xbox Live Arcade as part of the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade. (Wikipedia)

But Tox, what about the final boss of Classic mode?
"Crash for Smash?
Don't you mean Crashers for Smash?"
-Toxiquid probably
Heh
haha 69 likes funny siqldnqiofkwbw
dont you mean Crashers for Smashers?
Cool.
V E R Y C O O L
Castle smashers ?
me and other people who actually played castle crashers-
Yes
*YES*
haha thats great to hear
IKR
EXACTLY
S A M E. I'd love to see them get in. We should play sometime, (I have the original and the remaster)
@@simply7920 alright let’s pick our knights I’m picking purple knight, can you drop the glow stick for me to use?
There is an immeasurable amount of pain in my heart that this idea isn't at least trending
I probably won’t get on trending for at least another few years. Algorithm hates me
False.
I think it's called a power move, idk.
Also pls add necromancer theme, we all knoe it's da best
@@toxiquid bruh you got 100k on this video Wachu mean
@@Atlantique59 that was sent 4 months ago when this had 6k views haha
Castle crashers was my childhood and if they are in smash then I’m prob gonna break down in enjoyment
Haha same
Same
same
Same
same
7:32 This is even better when you realize their "Helmet" is their skull
hah
nah they just based their helmet on their skull
nah they just got really big cylindrical headsets
If you see the open faced gray knight you will see that it is actually a helmet
its just an helmet
2018: For his neutral special he wields a gun
2021: For his final smash he eats a sandwich
Said sandwich was way to many roids
Sandvich and me going to beat your ass
As a fan of the original game with tons of nostalgia, I was really happy to see you pick this game and see all of the ways you decided to implement them! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the rest of the pass :D
Thanks, my guy! I hope you’ll like LABO man and the rest of them just as much as I did haha
Even tho I never played Castle Crashers, this was so interesting to watch
im glad you enjoyed it, yo
Never played Castle Crashers!? Then you didn't have a good childhood bro...
HOW?!
@Aidan Fields Dude, you got to play it's a fucking 💎
@Aidan Fields a gem emoji meaning it's a fucking gem
How DARE you not include the necromancer’s theme in the music
Too edgy
Would make meta knight mad
@@aierisfrost8447 you mean black kirby xd
@@aierisfrost8447 I know who meta knight is, I just thought it's funny
Subject to drama is why.
Necromancers theme needs to be in
The reveal made me kinda look into the game
thats perfect! the best thing is to get people to think about the game and the characters, so im glad you got the itch to check it out
I never expected to see this idea out of my head but I'm so happy to find this right now
I’m glad you saw it!
same
I was really expecting the Necromancer spirit to be Dark Meta Knight, it would have fit soooo well
i knowwww i forgot about meta knight im kicking myself over it
This game is so criminally underrated, I always come back to it just to do a casual run. It’s such a gem and has honestly aged like fine wine.
tbh, if Nintendo ever thinks bout doing this, they'd probably just make a mii skin rather than an entirely new member for the smash roster.
Maybe! It’s just fun to think about what if, ya know haha
it would be an honor for an indie game to be in smash anyway
As a castle crashers player, that I still play to this day, I approve all of this.
thats great to hear! glad you enjoyed it, yo
This character looks pretty fun to play. Cant wait for Labo Man!
neither can i!
no clue who you are but i saw the title, i clicked, i subscribed
Same
Same XD
lol
That is the exact same i just need to subscribe real quick
And done
This is something I never knew I wanted, but I am now ecstatic at the thought😂😂
Ikr?
I lovvvvvvve castle crashers! Definitely agree, its a modern classic and doesn’t get talked about nearly enough!
right?!
0:40 thank God you didn't had five examples, it would be fun to show your fifth finger xD
Nobody needs to see a fifth finger those don’t exist
Lol
I would totally be down for this, castle crashes were a part of my childhood
Same here haha
Bruh I still play this game and it’s a bop
This is almost perfect! The only thing wrong is a lack of that perfect Necromancer theme.
My bad haha
Oh, I loved this. Nicely paced, nice drawings to showcase everything. I look forward to the rest.
Thanks! I’m very proud of that
Man, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better. I'm especially happy that the sound volume issues in your previous videos are no more. Keep it up!
Dude, we'd love if castle crashers got in smash! it is literally our biggest inspiration as an Indie Game Team lmao
This is the first video I've watched of yours, and I got to say that I quite enjoyed it. I recently got into Castle Crashers not too long, so it was a pleasant surprise seeing someone theorize a moveset, stage etc. for them. Like 90% of the Smash community I like to do the same, so I always enjoy seeing these types of videos.
As for the moveset here itself, I think it was a unique direction to take them. While there being no elemental damage (poison, fire, etc.) was initially pretty disappointing, I think that this was ultimately the best way to go about it so that it could fit all of the different characters and costumes. And the Animals as a gimmick does work well, although I'd have considered the possibility of some of the offensive ones fitting in there. That said, not that I could complain too much, they work well for what they are, provide them an interesting gimmick (albeit similar to Shulk's, not that that's a bad thing) and the rest of the moveset is completely fitting. While seeing how characters adapt to being in Smash is interesting, I'm a sucker for the ones that seem to play almost like they were directly taken from their game (like Mega Man) and this both fits that and adapts them just enough to work in this new environment.
I'd say you've done a good job here, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks, my guy- I’m happy to see you enjoying my content.
You have no idea how happy I am to see Castle crashers videos come out, especially this year. I love this game and it was the first game I ever beat that kicked off me playing games as a whole on the XBOX. I was at least 5 or 4 When I beat the game.
This was really well made and man I miss sitting with the homies and playing Castle Crashers
Bro same
This is so amazingly well put together, I really love their moveset and everything else, it just fits so well. Great video!
Thank you! Is great to hear that
I love you for making this! Castle crashers has been my dlc pick since smash four!
I REMEMBER BEGGING MY DAD FOR THIS WHEN I WAS 10
did you get it?
@@toxiquid yes
FATHER, CAN YOU ADD CASTLE CRASHERS TO SMASH? I BEG YOU!
@@darthmader057mmm6 Kill Switch was talking about Castle Crashers itself.
I would be so damn happy if they were in smash. Like Steve level hype.
this video was posted on my birthday and its about my favorite game, thanks tox
What an amazing video! I love all of the little details that you included
Thanks, Connor!
Glad this popped up on my recommendations such a classic
Yes, it is
Hey this is just a suggestion, but maybe the evil wizard spirit could be enhanced to the spider form of the evil wizard.
This is one of the best videos ever castle crashers is my favorite game I didn’t think anyone else remembered it
this is really, REALLY well made, props to you
thanks! im glad it's getting the recognition it deserves haha
I'm excited about this
what're your opinions now after youve seen it?
@@toxiquid I liked it
@@openinginawe5518 opinion 100
Looking Cool l, Ala...wait, you're not Alax
Looking Cool, Gumbo
kachow
I’m so glad you made this video. I grew up with Castle Crashers (fav knight was the necromancer). I agree that not that much people talk about this absolute master piece, but I am happy that you made a video about this question. I have thought about this too
TL;DR: I agree and am happy about this vid
You deserve more credit for this stuff, keep doing you!
Thanks, my guy! Much appreciated
YES YES YES I NEED THIS YES IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS YES
Castle Crashers Is A Great Game!!!!!! I Was 2 When It Came Out, I Would Love Them In Smash, They Deserve To Crash The Party! Stay Tooned For Their Grand Entrance In Super Smash Bros Lawl Stravaganza!
I was also 2 and it was my 2nd game I ever played
toxi your content is so high quality and well done I have watched like all of these in awe of your animation and editing skills, great job! I love this game
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear that
Im so glad how well you've represented this idea, absolutely brilliant.
My only change would be to make back air the shovel doing a standard swing in the air because of how funny it is that it actually does damage in the base game.
Huh interesting
Did those remixes actually play in the vid? I’d really like to listen to them but idk if they were actually heard in the vid.
they did! played during the standard attacks section, then the classic mode sections (flutey for Standards, dark skies for Classic)
@@toxiquid ah k, I’ll try to properly give em a listen, thanks.
Gumbo Plush
nothing else
Gumbo Plush
1 million subs and ill make it happen
@@toxiquid LETS GOOOOOO
Damn, alright. I might just take you up on that promise, then.
@@toxiquid Aarvenom plush ; )
@@cabbage8858 no aardvenom plush. if any toximon were to get a plush, it'd probably be Hydrosnail or Natchirp
I recently had a play through of Castle Crashers and I love to hit my enemies into the air and spam the air attack, you start to carry your enemy across the level.
Bro same haha
or when you perma-stun an enemy by hitting them on the edge of the screen
I was hoping they would make a second castle crashers but this is amazing I will buy Smash if these characters get implemented into the game. This was an excellent idea it is something you would never think about but when you did it was like gold, a stroke of genius and the moveset is just amazing it works well and ties in with the original game. What a wonderful job dude keep it up!
That would be an amazing idea :O
They are awesome, but I couldn't think about their movesets on the game
And there you have it :O
I would absolutely love to see them in Smash :D
I thought I was the only one who remembered Castle Crashers lol. Great video, by the way! Makes me wanna play through the game again
go do that! its a great game
Dude I thought this was made by some large channel but seeing you with 6k subs and how professional this is.... wow man. Excellent job, this is one of my favorite games, you earned a sub :)
Thank you so much! Means a lot
This is really well made!
thank you!
One of my most wanted characters. Incredible video.
same here!
I haven't heard the name Castle Crashers in years and now it's back and been questioned if it should be put in smash?
Yes. Make Castle Crashers be known by the new generation I say.
This is why I love this channel! Actually good game design and animation, for characters i care about when no one else does.
Another route you could have gone is a stance changer, similar to Pokemon Trainer? That way it could do elemental effects. Even if its between 2 characters, because fire and poison shoot projectiles while electric and ice are more multiple enemy infront direct hits.
thanks!
Awesome video dude!
I love the castle crashers game, and this is amazing with so many references, the stage is the barbarian arena and the castle crashers music
This was a fun watch
This video made me interested in the character and now I wanna buy the game on switch. TBH I forgot that it was released on switch and it sounds like a fun time. Can't wait to play it as soon as possible
You played my fav castle crashers music well you did magic attacks
I love the map theme remix in the background near the beginning
Thanks! All the custom music was made by highpoweredart!
Finally, a video on Castle Crashers in Smash!!! :D I've always wanted them in Smash and am glad to see someone else also wants them
now you have a whole community, yo
Would love to see this in smash especially being a very big castle crashers fan, good video.👍
thanks, my guy!
My only suggestion would be to change the Beholder to a different Animal Orb such as the Cardinal for magic. Wizards of the Coast may have been okay with allowing a reference to their Beholder 15 years ago, but may not be too keen to share these days. Personally, I find the Cardinal orb to be a bit more iconic to my experiences with Castle Crashers.
Excellent video, well done!
u deserve more then 6k subs tbh this video is great
thanks! i actually JUST reached 6k on sunday, and because of this video (and the next most likely), i think 7k is in our grasp, yo
You deserve money, this is just perfect
Thanks! If you wanna help out I have a patreon
I just randomly played this yesterday again. Great game.
I’ve been going crazy about this game for the past month and this makes me SO happy
That’s great to hear
I like you a lot, the castle crashers community is shrinking more and more but with you posting this can help it grow more.
thanks!
finally my favorite game i always was thinking this thank you soooooooo much!
Yeah man no problem
@@toxiquid Holy shit ik you replied 6 month ago but ive never had a youtuber reply to my comment before this is going to make my life sooo much better i hope you have a great day
Castle Crashers... Haven't heard that name in a while, keep it up with the production quality!
Also rip Blacksmith's horns
Thanks, yo
@@alexsc13 I noticed it too lol
the fact that you actually took the time to animate everything is incredibly impressive
It was a joint collaboration between myself and Lorulian! He also helped out with the LABO Man video, the Eggman video, and the upcoming Hat Kid video, so credit where credit is due haha (you should also go watch those too)
I have to subscribe now! This is genius!
Thanks! I’m glad you’re here
@@toxiquid no problemo!
Castle crashers is my favorite game, I was also 5 when it came out!
I would like to congratulate you for this perfectly well explained video, even if I am French and that I did not understand everything.
I really hope someday to see Castle Crashers x smash
wow! im glad that all my ideas got conveyed so well that someone in france can understand it!
Thank you, this game deserves more attention
ikr?
This video is incredible. I really want a Castle Crasher character in smash but there is another platform fighting game that I don't really see a lot of people talking about and that is Newgrounds Rumble. If you don't know what it is then it's a platform fighting game published in 2007 with 10 playable characters and 2-3 more in updates. And the game is incredible. The amount of fanservice and care in the game is insane and even tho 10 might not sound like a lot, it had some of the most iconic Newgrounds characters and some great weird picks. You got your iconic and obvious picks like Tankmen and Pico. You got the fan favorites like Salad Fingers and Alien Hominid. And You got your obscure picks like Alloy and Samurai A. And with the updated characters they added Hank from Madness Combat and Fancy Pants because they were both considered to be in the base game but didn't have time to create the sprites.
I wish there was a Newgrounds Rumble 2, Newgrounds is getting popular again thanks to Friday Night Funkin and the artist who created Newgrounds Rumble is interested to create a sequel but he is going to need a programmer. Castle Crasher's character feels like the perfect character to add in the game. Heck, I'm not even stopping there. Add Boyfriend, Bitey, Larry, Dad from Dad N Me, Geo and Ami from Gwain Saga, Darnell, Meatboy, Issac, and yes, Knight from Hollow Knight because the Knight actually originated from Newgrounds so it makes perfect sense to add the Knight in the game. What about trophies, bosses, costumes, more music, victory screens, taunts, online battle, and so much more you can add in the sequel.
Sorry if I was talking too much about this game, I just wish more people would talk about Newgrounds Rumble. I know we are getting Fraymakers but Newgrounds Rumble will truly be the first indie fighting game.
This is excellent! Completely agreed with the move set
Thanks, my guy! I’m glad you appreciated it
THIS IS MY MOST WANTED CHARACYTER THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH
I love castle crasher and knowing that someone likes it as well makes my day
Uuuhh good quality of video, wait until this blows up
by the looks of things i dont think i'll have to wait long haha
@@toxiquid hehe good for you you make good content :)
I was born in 2007, yet this game is still absolutely near and dear to my heart. Had my high in like 2014 or 2015. Shows how timeless this is. Blue knight main.
I didn’t know I needed this
That would be so cool!! I always enjoyed CC and I don't know how many times I finished the game.
did you have a favorite character to play as?
The community is very much still alive, and I am glad to see stuff like this outside those pockets
Yeah I had NO idea it was still this active
Hell yes, I'm only a year older than you but I remember playing Castle Crashers in my xbox when I was younger and I bought it again as soon as it came out on Switch. It's so fun, I've already finished the main campaign with like, 10 characters already!
Love the video, probably would have done a transforming stage or the final boss area
Maybe!
I'm so happy to see this years after playing such a nostalgic game.
Glad to hear it!
Getting music from this game would be an absolute NIGHTMARE.
true haha
YES!! This needs to go viral and we need to bring back castle crashers
Thank you Just.... Thank you this game was my childhood.
very high quality video, i can tell a lot of passion went into this but
this character is basically a generic swordfighter but smaller and with some shulk in there. gotta say im hoping for something more unique for the next three fighters. but still, great work!
(Yes, i said 3 fighters. i know there's a bonus boi coming)
3? Nah fam there’s 5 (technically 6) after this one
@@toxiquid how'd you figure? we have 2 more fighters in the second fighter pack, plus the bonus slot that got leaked
@@matthewmasucci1425 im not playing by the conventional rules here haha-- take a look at my previous two videos for more context. a full explanation is on the video with the white and red thumbnail
I have been waiting for someone to talk about castle crashers.
When you start juggling people in smash with light and heavy combo
0:00 DAMMIT! YOU GAVE ME NOSTALGIA!
Thank you Toxiquid! I'm excited for the new fighter pass!

just you wait for the other 5 characters haha

This is really freaking cool and I really want castle crashers in smash hopefully they are the next fighter.
I recently replayed this game on my own and it was amazing
