does anyone else remember the build function on roblox? it was the button next to edit on the developer page, you would use stamper build tools and just build whatever on a baseplate or terrain based area, i have quite a few games that were made only with this function, i think it'd be interesting to cover on a youtube video.
i did, as a kid i always used that to make some very bad and dumb games, i actually thought that was the only way to make a game and was surprised to see games of other people and wondered how they did that
as a former member of the jtoh community and having a couple of towers ingame myself it makes me really happy seeing new people introduced to funny obbies regardless of difficulty shoutout to my good buddy obren he a real one fr
hey, amazing video as always, really enjoyed hearing about the obbies in 2006-2008 especially :) just a few things I want to say: - it would've been cool to see tiered obbies get a mention, they're basically obbies that have their own dedicated game and are made as a challenge for obbyists. Stairway to Heaven (mentioned in the vid) is a good example of this, being a tier 19 at hardcore mode. There's a whole community dedicated to beating obbies like these, and the hardest obbies beaten so far are in tiers 16 and 17 :) - towers are not colour-coded to difficulty, the floor colours are purely for design purposes (except tower of difficulty chart, which like its name suggests, is a tower that increases in difficulty throughout) - it would have been nice to see fe2/fe2mt get talked about too, its maps were incredibly popular with many youtubers playing them in 2017-18 - super checkpoint was also somewhat popular, but it may or may not be mention-worthy - this is probably not mention worthy at all, but adopt me has its own mini collection of obbies too, all of which are admittedly easy lol edits: - the first difficulty chart obby was also the impossible obby by welololol as far as i know (thanks Sombez for reminding me), but the game is being remade from the original obby so that may be a reason why it isn't in this video/it wasn't found Amazing video tho, as an obby player and a massive fan I really appreciate this video, keep it up man!
@@sombez yup I think so too. but i don't think the original version of the obby is up anymore as it's being remade so i think that's why it may have been difficult to research
Despite 15 years of evolution, not much has changed since the overuse of “jump over a thing” and “jump over a hole” obstacles. Also, who here remembers GAT, that tower game with excessive amounts of stylistic suck and towers that would be rejected by more serious games?
A few corrections: JToH towers don’t usually get harder as you get further. And they also aren’t color coded on each floor to their difficulty. Each tower has a set difficulty that stays the same difficulty, well, unless it has crazy difficulty spikes like Tower of Frightening Nightmares which is very easy until floor 8 - 10.
Just a small error on the part about towers: They do have a set difficulty, but the color of the floor doesn't determine the difficulty of that floor. I just wanted to point that out, and other than that, great video! Also thanks for including JToH :)
Very informative video! I actually do remember playing WaffleBoy's Obstacle Course game back in 2007 (I don't think I really ever got too far into it, but then again, MrDoomBringer, miked, and even one of the best Brickbattlers at the time, Koopa didn't make it very far either). I also remember playing some old 2007 obstacle courses by Sora867. Yeah, I played ROBLOX back in 2007, so I think I can share some more information with you about ROBLOX in that year (and also some info about ROBLOX in other years) if you want! Sidenote: Waffleboy's Destiny Squares was originally called Extreme Four Corners, and "the Chosen one" in the game was originally called "the godly one", until it was changed for religious reasons.
jtoh towers are infact are just colored by the tower creator, the only tower that has the colors according to their floor difficulties is tower of difficulty chart - ring 2's soul crushing tower
As someone who had quite literally sold my soul just to beat Stairway To Heaven in just under a day *yes it went on for that long*, I am glad to see that it was finally recognized, you're the first person I know of to recognize it as an obby, and at that, the most difficult and painfully long one in ROBLOX History, but that's just in my opinion.
The first difficulty chart is by it_nice/join mod in that used to be jtoh, ToDCC, Tower of Difficulty Chart: Classic, it is called this because it got revamped into Tower of Difficulty Chart, and ToDCC got removed by it_nice's request, also when this was added JToH was known as KToH.
I am honestly surprised you didn't mention the "FAT PAPS era". Those obbies were so iconic due to the giant watermark that was on top of your screen. Edit: Ah I see so Fat Paps and Platinum falls are the same person
I feel like a good idea for obbies is making full Mario-like adventures. Maybe adding enemies and different mechanics, longer (about 3-5 minute) stages with maybe 1 or 2 checkpoints in the stage, and a gradually rising difficulty curve (maybe ending at Hard or Difficult on the JToH chart) so that most people don't just blow through it, but noobs can easily get into it. Escape obbies put more effort into aesthetics, but the level design is mind-numbingly boring. Meanwhile, towers put more effort into the level design, but often don't put much effort into the aesthetics and may just end up being too hard for most people. I love JToH, but introducing people to it who aren't already into hard platformers is just not happening.
Adventure Forward, Adventure Forward 2 and Super Paper Roblox probably fit this description, unfortunately the creator Explode1 was caught in some controversy which got him suspended.
Kinda sad you never mentioned Escape McDonald's Obby. I'm pretty sure it was the first "escape" obby on the platform, and somehow managed to be at the top of the front page in 2016 until Jailbreak was released. The creator, StealthPwn has unfortunately left Roblox, and hasn't been active for 10 years. The game still works even with Roblox updates breaking older games.
I really liked the video. Talking about Roblox obbies is one of those subjects I like to see people on TH-cam talk about. I joined Roblox in 2017 and the very first game I played was Hide & Seek Extreme. I loved it so much! Then I started playing Meepcity, Jailbreak, Adopt and Raise a Baby...and then Roblox obbies! It's one of my fav memories I've made throughout all these years of gaming on Roblox, and that's why I favourited most of the old Roblox games that I used to play back then.
Don’t forget about orb obbies. These satirical obbies have no checkpoints, and plot is usually the villain(s) capturing the creator of the obby. They are first created by Tinfoilbot. He made the Dark Orb series, the first series of orb obbies. The titular antagonist of the series is The Apprentice, a pig mutate who captures Tinfoilbot. When Tinfoilbot quit on 2018, orb games were stopped being created and the orb community was dying afterwards.
More about Tinfoilbot: Tinfoilbot is an alternate account of JustPlas according to a forum poster who figured it out on 2011 (when Tinfoilbot was new), and a video uploaded on 2021. He claims to be the most famous user of the site, the son of Roblox CEO David “builderman” Baszucki, and young. The account quit on 2014, but returned on 2016. The account later quit again on 2018, he claimed he was “grounded”. However, he updated his games in 2020. His main account was believed to be Merely. Merely was featured in Tinfoilbot’s TH-cam videos. However, this is most likely false. Merely claimed that his main account is mechawaffle. Tinfoilbot denied his account being an alternate account, and claims that it is his main one.
i thought about this while making the video - i used to be a part of the orbing community from around 2014-16(?) when i was younger. i didn't think they were important enough esp. cuz tinfoilbot's videos were more popular than his games from what i remember. i'm definitely making a video about tinfoilbot & the orbing community sometime in the future though. how weird the orb community was, the whole tinfoilbotTruth thing, & everything else
@@toastedcherries I never thought you knew about the orb community. I was surprised that you used to play these satirical games. I also used to play those silly obbies.
Packstabber was such a hack, I worked on every Shovelware obby and when we were rolling out a lot of obbies he started copying our stuff to the T down to even just, stealing our assets sometimes. It was really strange
WOAH! Reverse_polarity is behind one of the first obbies?! that is just mindblowing to me as someone who's ben playing roblox since the mid 2010's when it really started taking off
really great video! one thing I just wanted to mention is roblox ninja warrior although I’m not sure if it was prominent or not, I do remember it having a decent community and was during 2016 or 2017 (I think?) anyways yeah I just remember rnw having somewhat of a community but correct me if I’m wrong
I have played JToH for the past 3 years now, and I was watching this video to pass the time when playing JToH, and it warms my heart that you actually mentioned it. It's so underrated and I really think you should give it a try
holy shit i forgot volcano escape 2 existed. i think i used to have the record for most wins or something like that? i used to play that shit daily. i guess obbies are what lead me down the minecraft parkour rabbit hole. a slight nitpick but i personally think you should've mentioned super checkpoint [ i think that's what it was called, idk man ], it was such a good game and idk if i ever beat it cuz i was a stupid ass kid lmao great video man :]
There was a Roblox game where it had a story about getting symbols/sigils to save the world, and the game progression was with obbies, and then as you progress to the end of the game, it turns out the guy who''s directing you to get said symbols was the bad guy. I forgot the name of that game, but it had a good final boss track.
Just recently found this channel, joined Roblox in June 2009. Man, your videos bring me a nostalgia, one that feels very good around these christmas times. Where do you find the old screenshots of the website and the game? I have a couple of youtube channels where I uploaded Roblox videos in 2010 and 2011.
hey look its the thing i play it would have been cool to see some footage of harder towers being beaten in the jtoh section as the game evolved, such as ToGF being the hardest tower beaten to ToCP being the hardest tower beaten. cool video anyway and its nice to see some nostalgia of 'monkrymonkry was hacked'
Dude MonkryMonkry’s obby was literally my go to place whenever I came back from school and hoping straight into my dying laptop. I just want to shed a tear knowing that I will never experience this feeling again, life was much more simpler back then as a kid.
epikrika gave you a shout in their newest video so i thank them for pointing me in your direction, really fills the "genuinely interesting roblox content" shaped hole in my heart
Im so glad you mentioned KToH (JToH) because i spent hundreds of hours and then i watch one of these videos and its just tower of hell all over the place and tower of hell was inspired by KToH but it gets way more attention and KtoH is dying so thank you
are we gonna fuckin ignore the fact that jerry's murder case hasnt been solved since man literally fuckin died and we jokin about it 😩 rest in peace my man jerry
Fun Fact: Difficulty Chart Obbies originated from JToH, when Tower of Difficulty Chart got added. The difficulties themself were also from JToH. im sorry for being a jtard :(
"Your feet fall through the platform" still happens in ROBLOX as of 2022 if you have 1-20 fps above is just tinier that you can barely see it all it does the same thing it did from a long time ago is give you a higher jump boost then a fps unlocker for a double jump and still does the clip with feet.
It’s absolutely criminal to make a condensed chronology of ROBLOX obbies throughout history and leave out games like Adventure Forward: Star Savior, a spiritual successor to Polyhex’s ROBLOX Adventure series that heavily popularized the concept of combining the base obby formula with a concise story. The game still retains a passionate fandom LOOONG after the cancellation of Explode1 for being a groomer, just showing how influential the game was to a lot of peoples’ lives. ROBLOX even included it as part of the secret achievement gift for 2014’s Giftsplosion, and had both the original game and the sequel receive the spotlight by ROBLOX themselves in the blog. It’s an unjustly underrated game series that not a lot of people like to reflect on despite the large footprint it left on future games to come, and makes for a really good video topic.
oh my god thanks for including jtoh! I’m from its fandom and I think that jtoh is EXTREMELY underrated (because it’s very hard for half of roblox community lolollollololol) Also video is really cool, respect!! (also colours on towers is just for design purposes, except Tower of Difficulty Chart)
Yo toasted, did you hear about Epikrika's second to last video? He said that if people wanted content like his they should watch yours. Safe to say that you've been endorsed by one of the most influential roblox players and youtubers of all time.
I can't believe he didn't talk about the Shovelware Studios obbies. They're no longer playable because they all used copyrighted assets, but they were pretty funny.
It didn't. some obbies became more advanced with those glitches. But why does it matter now, it's already patched (only corner clip and it variants, not all glitches)
I joined Roblos in 2012 and I remembered playing monkreymonkrey was hacked as one of my first games, I even bought one of my shirts from there for 5 tix. So cool to hear someone say it again.
Also, anyone here remember the "Food Orb" obby series, or is it just me who does? Because i remember playing those, shame that the start of the game had the only checkpoint.
I did some research, and another extremely difficult obby is "Elegance" by Regionality. Also great overview, I think you covered just about everything! Keep it up bro
Why 2018 ? You want Obbies that were hard back then but easy now? Different Obbies have spanned over a decade or more but u wanna find Escape Grandma Obby or something?

I wish things like this could come back, but Roblox wants users to use Studio, and FE exists, so have to work with events
The original building tools, the pointer, to move. The magnifying glass thing, to copy a brick, and the hammer, to delete a brick.

For the jtoh part, the colors might be the color of the portal. (For example, ToA has a green portal, and it’s easy difficulty)
Nvm I watched the full video
@festive person ik, I meant the color of the portal, but then I watched the whole video and saw that he meant the frame of the tower

Im so glad you mentioned KToH (JToH) because i spent hundreds of hours and then i watch one of these videos and its just tower of hell all over the place and tower of hell was inspired by KToH but it gets way more attention and KtoH is dying so thank you
im sad adventure forward wasnt mentioned
are we gonna fuckin ignore the fact that jerry's murder case hasnt been solved since
man literally fuckin died and we jokin about it 😩
rest in peace my man jerry
Fun Fact: Difficulty Chart Obbies originated from JToH, when Tower of Difficulty Chart got added. The difficulties themself were also from JToH.
im sorry for being a jtard :(
Great video pleasantly surprised STH was on there
Mad respect for this guy actually knowing JToH exists.
Edit: Stairway to Heaven too? Wow...
"Your feet fall through the platform" still happens in ROBLOX as of 2022 if you have 1-20 fps above is just tinier that you can barely see it all it does the same thing it did from a long time ago is give you a higher jump boost then a fps unlocker for a double jump and still does the clip with feet.
yeah look at this footage

(there was an instant kill brick below the platform he landed on)
HOLY CRAP HE MADE A JTOH VIDEO WHAT
i literally found ur videos while researching for this LOL
@@toastedcherries your videos inspired me :)
yooo
very cool
@@ImBadAtNamingThings didnt expected you here
the wipe out obby brings me back thank you toasted
It’s absolutely criminal to make a condensed chronology of ROBLOX obbies throughout history and leave out games like Adventure Forward: Star Savior, a spiritual successor to Polyhex’s ROBLOX Adventure series that heavily popularized the concept of combining the base obby formula with a concise story. The game still retains a passionate fandom LOOONG after the cancellation of Explode1 for being a groomer, just showing how influential the game was to a lot of peoples’ lives. ROBLOX even included it as part of the secret achievement gift for 2014’s Giftsplosion, and had both the original game and the sequel receive the spotlight by ROBLOX themselves in the blog. It’s an unjustly underrated game series that not a lot of people like to reflect on despite the large footprint it left on future games to come, and makes for a really good video topic.
nice essay
there was also shovelware studios. their games were really popular back in 2017
rip Jerry he didn’t deserve it. Fly high brother 😔
very well made video! thanks for bringing attention to jtoh, you remind me of epikrika a lot, great vid!
careful should be featured more in videos they are very funny
ikr shes hilarious
@@jqmusichead I've never heard of careful before but aren't they a dude? Idk.
@@Providence.. "she", "hm yes, must be a dude!!!!"
@@ltrlyclover I mean, they do sound like a guy despite considering themselves as a different gender
@@synexiasaturnds727yearsago7 y
Yes. That is how being transgender works.
why does it sound like toastedcherries's voice sounds raspy and like its trying to escape his body sometimes
Its playing "escape toastedcherries body obby"
kenekokitten mentioned 😔 aged poorly
I remember "Escape Margaret Fetcher Doing Her Backflip Obby" and "Escape KSI Obby" a certified hood classic.
you forgot to mention that the difficulty chart originally came from jtoh too
it wasn’t the first difficulty chart but it definitely deserved a mentioned as it started the whole DCO obby trend.
oh my god thanks for including jtoh! I’m from its fandom and I think that jtoh is EXTREMELY underrated (because it’s very hard for half of roblox community lolollollololol)
Also video is really cool, respect!!
(also colours on towers is just for design purposes, except Tower of Difficulty Chart)
Oh boy can't wait for the millions of irrelevant comments saying "I miss the old Roblox" over and over again.
Oahahahaha
yeah they just tryna get the likes lol. "oMg nOstaLgia woAh"
Lol sounds like you were too young and missed out on it
@@viacomsspy5439 I did miss out on it and I don't give 2 shits, but I'm glad I don't spout the same ass line for attention.

15:49 Heyyy! Nice C418! 148 is one of my favorite albums of his!
148 is so underrated
Yo toasted, did you hear about Epikrika's second to last video? He said that if people wanted content like his they should watch yours. Safe to say that you've been endorsed by one of the most influential roblox players and youtubers of all time.
2:30 I felt that voice crack, I get voice cracks just as bad too :(
how did this video hit the algorithm so early

i came from epikrika's channel and i gotta say, i was not disappointed. I'm leaving a sub on this

I can't believe he didn't talk about the Shovelware Studios obbies. They're no longer playable because they all used copyrighted assets, but they were pretty funny.
Wow I didn’t expect a video about jtoh…I have been playing the game for over 2 years and I feel like it doesn’t get really attraction on youtube
i actually just spent like 40 minutes beating the longest obby of back then.
had no idea it would take that long
the shift lock jump trick thing ruined all the legendary obbies
ahhh good times (before that)
How it ruin obbies
It didn't. some obbies became more advanced with those glitches. But why does it matter now, it's already patched (only corner clip and it variants, not all glitches)
@@myfilthybean511 dance clip? laugh clip?
@@GorillaFan_32 That's why I only said corner clip and it's variants, not all glitches
@@myfilthybean511 oh
This video was awesome, very impressive research and information here!

nice vid but what about the teamwork obbies out there? deathrun, fe2, so on
anyways great vid
Im glad that the extracted 2007 2008 places archive had some of the games shown here.
As a jtoh player for 4 years, im just gonna say that this video might get some new people into jtoh
nah, youre one of those people who use "as a person who uses, 'as an (x)' i can relate because i am an (x).
@@yeetub Says the one who copy pasts comments 💀
Thank you so much for including ktoh/jtoh.
good vid 👍high quality, good script, good editing + visuals :)
I joined Roblos in 2012 and I remembered playing monkreymonkrey was hacked as one of my first games, I even bought one of my shirts from there for 5 tix. So cool to hear someone say it again.
I remember the great days when you could just bounce around like crazy for no reason
Bro your voice is starting to change, homie is growing upppppp
hey itd be really cool if you did a video covering roblox arg's, theyre really interesting and they have entire communitys.
Also, anyone here remember the "Food Orb" obby series, or is it just me who does? Because i remember playing those, shame that the start of the game had the only checkpoint.
Are you the Jerry that was killed?
14:55 it's very surreal just being mentioned on a video while going through a few roblox related videos on here
real asf
ive spent countless hours playing these as a kid they were so fun especially finally getting the powers and shit at the end
Glad to see a clanner on a yt video.
16:34 The difficulty chart genre was inspire by Tower of Difficulty Chart (the first difficulty chart) in JToH Ring 2
love me those obtical courses
I did some research, and another extremely difficult obby is "Elegance" by Regionality. Also great overview, I think you covered just about everything! Keep it up bro
Elegance is also popular but he had to skim over it because of all the other genres
@@robobossEPIC537 True
@@robobossEPIC537 I doubt he saw it at all
@@creationisntgood942 yeah good point lmao
Does anyone remember the old 2018 roblox Obbies. Sure they sucked but looking back on them I wish I could still find them.
Why 2018 ? You want Obbies that were hard back then but easy now? Different Obbies have spanned over a decade or more but u wanna find Escape Grandma Obby or something?
