This definitely has the feeling of something from the early 2000s before the weird foot fetish stuff really became well known. I mean I cannot imagine a reality that Nintendo would even make a flash game like this in the modern day.

@@selfloathingweekly Yeah unfortunately that ship sailed some time ago. Once the cat was out of the bag there was no going back. My condolences didn't mean to kink shame ya. But the world is a cruel place and that's the kind of stuff you want to keep to yourself trust me.
I mean, if anyone in the Mario universe were to run a sketchy flash site, it probably would be Waluigi. Who knows why Nintendo decided that this would be a good idea...
Wait, Waluigi's Foot Fault is _lost?_ I PLAYED THAT GAME AS A KID! It even let you digitally send Waluigi's toenail clippings to a friend via email. Such a shame it's gone, considering how big of a meme Waluigi is nowadays.
It also hilariously showed how naive and clueless Nintendo was. No one in their right mind would ever release something like that now. Even at the time it was released I would say either somebody knew exactly what they were doing or they really were so now you didn't realize they were leaning right into deviantART crowd.
The Waluigi Toenail game was absolutely real. It showed him sitting down with his feet towards the screen. Your mouse turned into nailclippers and you snipped each nail. Each nail would fly off into a jar on the left of the screen. Afterwards it tells you to enter a friend’s email to send them the jar of toenails. My friend’s mom got mad, thinking I sent something from a fetish site. I had to explain to my mom it was a game. My mom thought it was funny but I didn’t see my friend much after that.
That thumbnail was the final push for my fatal cardiac event. Goodbye, cruel world. I am off to become lost media myself. Great video as always, by the way! :) I'm always looking forward to new videos! :D
I kind of remember seeing my brother playing that Waluigi toenail clipping game. It was pretty simple, you just click on each toe. Then you'd have a jar of toenail clippings and could apparently email them to someone, back when that was a thing.
Reminds me of like, every flash game geared towards girls around that time. Soooo many manicure/pedicure/beauty flash games with basically the same concept but less gross.
The Waluigi foot game thing wasn't the last time Nintendo did something foot related officially. There's an entire thread discussing Nintendo's alleged foot fetish
@@JoseJimenez-vc7we That feels less of a foot fetish and more of just a barefoot character. I mean stuff like Sticks from Animal Crossing or That one Hooktail line from TYD
Given that official render of him striking that kinda suggestive pose with his tongue sticking out from last year, I’d say he is definitely pretty freaky.
I’m genuinely sad he changed the thumbnail to Sea Man. Waluigi’s feet was such a masterpiece, and (possibly unintentional) troll to those who have notifications on.
Thanks. I was wondering why everyone was complaining about feet in the thumbnail when I all I saw was some bizarre-looking fish thingie. I guess he did change it!
I actually remember the Paint The Lines game mentioned in the Waluigi segment, you had to repaint the lines of the tennis court yellow and purple by picking the correct path to match the example. Just a simple brain teaser with 3 levels.
Finally somebody acknowledges Waluigi's official flash game, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a WarioWare minigame . It's a reference to Nintendo Power's jar of nails.
Wow you completely unlocked a repressed memory about Wulin Warriors; I remember also watching Toonami as a child and being suddenly terrified and confused by the unexplained appearance of these menacing puppets. It was like someone was pulling a disturbing prank on me. It felt like I was seeing something I shouldn’t have been seeing. I buried that memory DEEP!
When seeing the icon for the video, I Immediately thought that the Waluigi game was a weird online game similar to the Disney princess ones. I can't explain how I felt when learning that it is probably legit. 😅
I have one for you: I grew up in Chattanooga, TN, and the local PBS station was WTCI-45. I remember around probably 1983 or so seeing a show on weekday mornings in the summer which was called Hot Stuff. What little info I found about it online years ago has actually also disappeared. Very little evidence it existed. Hot Stuff was the name of a hot air balloon, who talked to a human woman who had dark hair and I believe overalls. It was locally produced, and may have been taped in the stockroom of a mall shoe store. Very low budget. I'm starting to think that's about fully lost. Nobody remembers it, and the material isn't available.
Considering PBS had some staples in the 80s and local PBS all had differing shows depending on where you lived, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the local show was either lost or put on some tape or whatever to record a show in between. I'm more inclined to believe the former.
I don't think Foodfight was THAT bad personally, I actually remember finding it online while searching for it randomly one day, I think that might've been the exact day it was first leaked as i'd not seen a single review for it.
I mostly mad because of the sheer carelessness that went into it, they had a 60 million budget and just rushed it through production, I don't care if their files got stolen and they had to start from scratch animation of that quality is absolutely unacceptable to release anywhere, and I feel bad for the people who wasted their money to see that in theaters!
imo, the final product was terrible but the original concept/pre-theft version had a lot of potential even if it was always a shameless shilling campaign. shame someone “stole” it lol
if you're interested in something like Wulin Warriors there's this Japanese-Taiwanese co-production called Thunderbolt Fantasy, it's way newer so the puppets are a bit prettier and it had a short lived but apparently dedicated fandom in the west around 2010
The “Seamen” characters remind me of traditional Japanese mermaids, or ningyō. Ningyō didn’t look like Ariel at all, they were literally fishes with human faces.
For the missing Applebee's discs, go to the Doherty enterprises Applebee's on Long Island most of their sellers have a lot of old school stuff the basements I mean that's your best bet to check ask for a district manager named Kurt or Ed Doherty
Weird that in my country (Chile), the format Dot Comedy tried to make actually worked xD We had a show called "REC" circa 2001-2, originally was about nostalgia and classic moments, then they shifted it to Internet content and flash stuff (when Internet wasn't exactly rare, but was painfully slow). The mere fact it lasted more than one season means that putting Early 00's web stuff on TV would be a good idea, but not when it's poorly planned
8:52 The article onscreen says that Wario is out to overthrow Mario, and that he just enlisted Waluigi to help. Not that Waluigi himself made the plan.
There is probably no chance of Kmart having them still Kmart is no longer here. Even then it's very unlikely sears has them. I think Kmart cdi would probably be harder to find than Applebee's.
Seams like lost company training games have become a trend in recent years because first the McDonald's DS training game (found and shout out to Nick Robinson), then the lost Burger King Philips CD-I games, and now K-Mart.
I feel like the Wulin Warriors would go over a lot better nowadays - given a proper localization and dub, I could totally see this being popular on Adult Swim; Japanese puppet shows are a really cool watch when done right
Holy crap. That puppet shows is actually pretty cool. I highly HIGHLY recommend you check out Thunderbolt Fantasy. It's quite literally a higher quality production Japanese puppet show that's looks incredibly similar to that show. Hiroyuki Sawano even does the music for it. I wonder if both shows are related?
God, I actually remember the Waluigi feet… XD Funny thing to look back on, now that feet pictures have garnered a whole other connotation. Makes you wonder if the people behind it knew, or if they were blissfully ignorant.
Made the mistake of checking notifications while setting up videos to watch on TV. My sister, my brother and my roommate got an eyeful of Waluigi's feet. We are currently engaged in an argument as to why I watch the videos of someone who put Waluigi feet in the thumbnail.
I’m so fascinated about this CD-i rabbit hole, I cannot help but wonder if there was a whole side to the marketing of the CD-i aimed exclusively at these large businesses that we are only just now learning about.
17:57 First the lost but then found McDonald's DS training game, then the lost Burger King Philips CD-I games, and now K-Mart? Seams like lost company training games are becoming a popular trend since 2020.
I’m still not convinced the weird waluigi game is real. I think the “coming soon” screen is just part of the joke. Remember. This wasn’t the Nintendo we know today.
It apparently is, given that a few people actually remember playing it. It apparently involves clipping Waluigi's toenails, and apparently you could e-mail the jar to a friend. There is a small chance that the recounts are merely Mandela Effects, but it's entirely possible that either it was only playable for a certain amount of time that you'd have to play another flash game on that website to unlock it (there were a couple more games listed alongside it) or the game was loaded from Nintendo's own server and the "Coming Soon" screen was merely a placeholder
There was a mspfa/homestuck fan comic called "The Waxcky Adventures of Catholic Mario," and my friends and I loved just how awful it was. Sadly, it got taken down, and the only archive of it is missing all of the images.
Speaking of bad movies being lost the film negatives of magical mystery tour has been lost because no one bothered to archive it so they had use poor quality rips to release it before it had to be digitally remastered to match to original negatives for blu ray
16:35 I had a feeling you were going to talk about the K-Mart CD-i training disk. I thought it was fake as well, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were training disks out there made by other companies, just for the CD-i.
I've gone through more "training videos" than I'd like to admit, including interactive ones. None were on CD-i but I can easily imagine it, especially with some of the sillier stuff that training videos do. Would love to see a CD-i one someday.
Doc comedy was a good idea for a tv program but the reason it didn't do very well is because it was in the 2000s back when the internet was still very serious and not enough funny content If they did the program today and show dank memes and short clip from tic tok or vine the quality would be better
I distinctly remember wulin warriors as a kid watching it very late at night being completely perplexed by what I was watching and goddam was the voice acting so weird and I completely agree that it should have been on adult swim and if they chose to re-dub it someday I think it’ll be better received.
In front of you are two buttons: Push the red button and Waluigi will be added to smash. Push the blue button and Nintendo will announce a HD remaster of Waluigi's foot fault for the Nintendo Switch. Which button do you choose?
The Mario Allstars collection is an incredible time capsule of classic platformers. Troll much? Federation Force wasn’t bad either, just not what anyone asked for. On it’s own it was alright.

Waluigi Canon Feet > Slamfest '99 Lol just messing. Seriously tho, that's one of the weirdest lost medias I have EVER heard of. Keep up the great work my guy!
anyone recall a made for tv movie in the 70's about a school for gifted kids run by a computer? the kids spend the night and the computer kills some of them until they finally disable it by morning. i can't find any mention on IMDB
Wulin Warriors being an action(?) oriented puppet show looks really cool. Is the original versions writing any better? It sounds like the localization killed any interest for it in the west
Good thing that Thunderbolt Fantasy made its way into international release and received far native translation treatment. This is also an action puppet show directed by the same studio(Pili). Go check it if you're interested in action puppet shows.
Back in the day when Waluigi first appeared as a character, he wasn't very liked because of the promotional material like this. He was often portrayed as a bargain bin version of Boogerman (which itself was never popular) and having his only personality traits just being gross. It wasn't until after Mario Strikers and the memed crotch chop that made many people start to like him. Though thanks to his lack of physical games and the memories of his terrible early marketing makes him the most divisive character of the series
A piece of lost media I helped "find" (it wasn't a true find unfortunately since I was unable to share it with the public) were the trailers promoting the Biggs' Adventure matinee event at Regal Cinemas, which really annoyed people when they came out for their sheer number which would all be aired before 1 movie, and their shoddy animation. Unfortunately (but fortunately for the animators, who went on to do better things) when I got ahold of the trailers the animation wasn't that bad, it just paled in comparison to The Incredibles, which was where they were shown before.
Holy shit. I remember Sea-Man. I never knew what it was because I couldn’t read at the time I saw it. I just remembered he looked like a bass with a man’s face
I loved your nod to the Freaky Flickers lost movie, I was obsessed with those terrible trailers years ago and I would have loved to see that terrible mess in full.
I feel like Wulin Warriors could've become a cult classic had they only slapped it onto [adult swim]'s roster, seems like it would've felt at home with 12 oz. Mouse and the Drinky Crow Show.
Not gonna like, I kind of like the puppet show aesthetic. It’s unique and kind of esoteric looking. In Asian countries, more silly things like that are given a shot while things here in the West they would be mocked and lambasting by six year olds trying to act cool. It kind of has a certain old world charm to it, like a geisha doll show come to life.
This is so weird because I actually have a vague and distant memory of watching that Dotcomedy pilot. I never had cable growing up, so Abc was one of the few channels we actually had, lol
Randy and Jason Sklar had a show on MTV around that same era called Apartment 2F which is mostly lost as well. Interesting how that happened. Their third show, Cheap Seats, which aired on ESPN Classic, has a relatively large cult following and is well preserved
So glad to finall see people pick back up on the lost Waluigi website. I've been in a group dedicated to deciphering the website since 2019. Doesn't seem like any of the information deciphered recently is new though. One of us even said they wanted to try remaking the game themselves. Never seen that image of "Waluigi's Foot Fault" with the "coming soon", though. Was that an official piece of art for the game or fan-made?
I will never forgive LSSQ for forcing my grandmother to see Waluigi's feet on my home screen as she tried to look over the grocery list.

I distinctly remember wulin warriors as a kid watching it very late at night being completely perplexed by what I was watching and goddam was the voice acting so weird and I completely agree that it should have been on adult swim and if they chose to re-dub it someday I think it’ll be better received.
EBAY EXISTS IN THE MARIO UNIVERSE
I’m so fucking glad we’re talking about Seaman again
why did you make that the thumbnail
In front of you are two buttons: Push the red button and Waluigi will be added to smash. Push the blue button and Nintendo will announce a HD remaster of Waluigi's foot fault for the Nintendo Switch. Which button do you choose?
BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE!!!!!
imagine being colorblind and making that choice
imagine being colorblind and making that choice
I'd simply scream and cry
This is the video I’ve waited my entire life for.
"putting seaman on PC" - LSupersonicQ 2022
This is some Southpark sh*t lol
god having the original thumbnail be waluigi feet so it would show up in everyone’s notifications and then changing is the funniest thing ever
it's honestly fitting that waluigi would pioneer such a weird genre of game
Dot Comedy walked so Tosh.O and Ridiculousness could run.
And... well, lots of other media
Why is that thumbnail scarier than the video about scary lost media?
The Mario Allstars collection is an incredible time capsule of classic platformers. Troll much? Federation Force wasn’t bad either, just not what anyone asked for. On it’s own it was alright.
Some people *really* hate both of those games
Mario all stars is legendary
I think me means the 3D All-Stars
@@supermakermatic2111 that is what I thought he meant. I love that collection! The kids got to play games I grew up playing and actually liked it more than Odyssey.
There is a weird charm to these old training videos and video games, it's hard to explain. I want the Sears cd-i one.
Waluigi Canon Feet > Slamfest '99
Lol just messing. Seriously tho, that's one of the weirdest lost medias I have EVER heard of. Keep up the great work my guy!
The thumbnail jumpscared me.
anyone recall a made for tv movie in the 70's about a school for gifted kids run by a computer? the kids spend the night and the computer kills some of them until they finally disable it by morning. i can't find any mention on IMDB
Never heard of it before. Interesting thanks for sharing. Hope it gets found someday
I got seaman on my PC one time. It was hard to clean after it dried up.
Wulin Warriors being an action(?) oriented puppet show looks really cool. Is the original versions writing any better? It sounds like the localization killed any interest for it in the west
Wulin Warriors wanted to be the next Samurai Pizza Cats & failed spectacularly.
Good thing that Thunderbolt Fantasy made its way into international release and received far native translation treatment. This is also an action puppet show directed by the same studio(Pili). Go check it if you're interested in action puppet shows.
Such a nice treat for my last day of senior year.
Keep up the good work. ;)
Back in the day when Waluigi first appeared as a character, he wasn't very liked because of the promotional material like this. He was often portrayed as a bargain bin version of Boogerman (which itself was never popular) and having his only personality traits just being gross.
It wasn't until after Mario Strikers and the memed crotch chop that made many people start to like him. Though thanks to his lack of physical games and the memories of his terrible early marketing makes him the most divisive character of the series
That weird game surely took the concept of Wario and Waluigi being gross due of being the opposite of the cleaner Mario and Luigi too far
Nintendo's American marketing strategy went from Waluigi foot fetish to Beyonce playing Rhythm Heaven in the span of less than 5 years
A piece of lost media I helped "find" (it wasn't a true find unfortunately since I was unable to share it with the public) were the trailers promoting the Biggs' Adventure matinee event at Regal Cinemas, which really annoyed people when they came out for their sheer number which would all be aired before 1 movie, and their shoddy animation. Unfortunately (but fortunately for the animators, who went on to do better things) when I got ahold of the trailers the animation wasn't that bad, it just paled in comparison to The Incredibles, which was where they were shown before.
I can finally watch this video without feeling utter distain for myself, thank god
RIP Waluigi feet thumbnail
yo this guy is actually good hope you succeed
The Waluigi feet thumbnail was pretty dang funny. I'm curious why it got changed tho lol
Holy shit. I remember Sea-Man. I never knew what it was because I couldn’t read at the time I saw it. I just remembered he looked like a bass with a man’s face
Hey, glad I caught this before work!
let’s just hope that dan schneider never sees waluigi’s feet 💀
Wulin Warriors art style is pretty interesting, though!
God, the Walugi canon just keeps getting more ridiculous by the day, doesn't it?
I loved your nod to the Freaky Flickers lost movie, I was obsessed with those terrible trailers years ago and I would have loved to see that terrible mess in full.
I'm trying so so hard to focus on the video, but hearing the phrases "Seaman pet" and "Seaman on your PC" is actually killing me.
seaman pet = child
I seriously want nothing more in my life than for someone to upload the premiere of Wulin Warriors with Original Commercials
I feel like Wulin Warriors could've become a cult classic had they only slapped it onto [adult swim]'s roster, seems like it would've felt at home with 12 oz. Mouse and the Drinky Crow Show.
Korean puppet show: arrives, rants about pizza, refuses to elaborate, leaves
Bruh that thumbnail tho
Wow, I think I vaguely remember those Mario Tennis flash games... The painting one really rings a bell, very lightly...
Not gonna like, I kind of like the puppet show aesthetic. It’s unique and kind of esoteric looking. In Asian countries, more silly things like that are given a shot while things here in the West they would be mocked and lambasting by six year olds trying to act cool. It kind of has a certain old world charm to it, like a geisha doll show come to life.
Gosh it tends to improve my morning to wake up to your videos 🙂
the thumbnail was
unexpected 😭
This is so weird because I actually have a vague and distant memory of watching that Dotcomedy pilot. I never had cable growing up, so Abc was one of the few channels we actually had, lol
Wait, so you're telling me that K-Mart and Applebee's had CD-I training discs? Weird.
I love the Seaman games, criminally underrated
Ahead of their time 100 percent!
Randy and Jason Sklar had a show on MTV around that same era called Apartment 2F which is mostly lost as well. Interesting how that happened. Their third show, Cheap Seats, which aired on ESPN Classic, has a relatively large cult following and is well preserved
For Dot Comedy: the Sklars are pretty active on social media. They might know something.
So glad to finall see people pick back up on the lost Waluigi website. I've been in a group dedicated to deciphering the website since 2019. Doesn't seem like any of the information deciphered recently is new though. One of us even said they wanted to try remaking the game themselves.
Never seen that image of "Waluigi's Foot Fault" with the "coming soon", though. Was that an official piece of art for the game or fan-made?
