Only indirectly: Etemon is a homage to a guy from Shueisha called DigiMonkey, that worked to promote Digimon on Shonen Jump, each Etemon's versions like Metal and King are based on costumes this guys wore. And the think about being King of Digimon and the references of new finishing moves on the profile, around 11:32, is about this guy. Also there were other digimons based on employees mojyamon, volcamon and betsumon
Info: direct sequel of DMW1 is DMW Next Order. It has the main protagonist of DMW1 as a side character called Mr. Mameo. We start with a different character, either a boy or a girl. And we can control two Digimon at once. The playing area is also much wider.
Please make as much digimon world 1 specific content as possible... we all must know its deepest secrets, and if you could provide anything on its development and development cycle, it would be much appreciated as well! ❤
Something I'd have pointed out too that made some of this theories believable is that Digimon World already had some pretty "schoolyard rumour" alternative Digivolution methods. Like Vegiemon digivolving into Ninjamon if it wins 100 battles or Mamemon and Greymon upgrading into Metalmamemon and Metalgreymon by talking with the random stationary Guardromon in Factorial Town.
DW1 special evolutions are wild, who would think about scolding your digimon at exactly 200hs from turning into a champion?. I dont't know what the devs were thinking. The Vegiemon and Mamemon weren't that far from reality.
The fact that theres a genuine mechanic where you need to torture babies to get and that theres a bug letting you keep a digimon as baby so you can torture it as much as you want is some goofy playground shit that sounds fake until you learned that its real
@@screwtokaiba You mean Nanimon? Because he needs a Rookie with 0% Happiness and 0% Discipline, and that's not easy because Scolding/Praising always rises Disc./Happ. no matter what.
Hi am half of the team who figured out the digivolution conditions for H-Kabuterimon and pals. The 7000 hp was surprising to me, every known condition capped at 600(0). The 0 battles was even more surprising and what probably we got caught up on.
@@zainzachary6019 There's some details in the screenshot LP of Digimon World 1 in the LP Archive, including a link to a pastebin which goes into some detail about how it was found.
Also,regarding WGarurumon,you can actually get it through game codes,but the model is empty and you can only hear footsteps,no other interactions at all. And the reason for this is...its model was not implemented,instead its .mmd files is Hiro (The MC) model replicated,so the game doesn't want to load it. Also,WG has an ingame mini completed portraits (like the ones in the tournament). The are stored in .TIM files IIRC. The royal tournament is accessible via glitching the game (i don't remember exactly how,maybe glitching the curling game),but it gives only a piece of Meat,and ranks down your tamer level. Also,the hidden areas have been implemented in DMW modded games (Vice hack). Another interesting thing,there are earlier demos of DMW1,one being SLPM-80402 and it's a Comic Bom Bom disc,only released in Japan with a magazine iirc. It had Panjyamon in the screen title,and the game ends at Day 6. It also has a bonus:if you press certain buttons,you get the Noble Mane in the inventory.If you finish it before that day,the game freezes and doesn't trigger the ending. The second one,SLPM-80401 has the same features as the first one,but it lacks the Panjyamon in the title,and maybe the bonus button prompts too. Also,if you use WayBack Machine,on Bandai site there are several screenshots of early betas. It shows a different command battle menu,and Hiro was intended to have red hair,lacking its cap. There is surely something else i'm forgetting,but,if you wanna know something else,there is a whole Discord server related to the game debugging. Nice video tho! Keep it up,this game deserves more attention! :)
ALSO,forgot to mention. There is another hidden item,only obtainable with GS,called AS Decoder but was scrapped in the end. Doesn't do anything,probably early in the game should have been used to translate the Leomon Table,but was later scrapped. Neat! xD
Honestly, the panjyamon digivolving to vegiemon doesn't really suprise me, especially in a world where Yugioh Forbidden Memories exists, a game where you can fuse a tiger axe and a darkfire dragon to make COCOON OF FUCKING EVOLUTION?!
That's the PS1 game right? I never get most of the fusion since it's easier just to get the twin head thunder dragon with dragon + thunder + dragon/thunder to get it and still having a hard time to beat some of the area because they have ridiculous cards that very strong against your non raigeki/ultimate moth/blue eyes or any 3000+ atk/def cards. 😂😂😂
My whole neighborhood group of kids passed around a copy of DW1 and it was always fun to see who could get the furthest. Our greatest mystery was having our champin die to Greymon when he attacked outside of JiJis house and we got a Phoenixmon, it blew all our minds and we never could replicate. Cheat Code Central was useless there.
what the heck.. the exact same thing happened to me, my brother and my cousin. We were stuck inside Jijimon's house because of Greymon for a bit and our Kokatorimon suddenly became phoenixmon out of absolutely nowhere. Is there some secret programming around that event or something...? Edit: Oh, I searched it up. Losing a life as a Kokatorimon can indeed result in phoenixmon (10% chance). Still, it's nearly the same exact story, and it blew our child minds!
Suddenly out of nowhere last week, I suddenly wanted to play this game again. and now, here I am with a video talking about it. I would love to see an HD remake of this game like the HD remake of Halo 1 and 2.
One of the newer ones I think New order is a sort of carry on from the first, don't wanna soil if you havent played but it was made for those who played this one
Absolutely loved this video! You organized the information very well and I learned a lot of new things. Digimon World 1 was my cannon event game growing up and nothing will ever beat the feeling of exploring that world with my digital monster and praying that he doesn’t turn into Numemon for the 8th time. Please make more Digimon World 1 content!
Thank you for your kind words, AmazingChest! I am glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, I do intend on making some more World 1 content (another new video went online today, in case you're interested ^_^).
Digimon World is my favorite game of all time. It has a lot of issues but no game comes close to being this cozy and fun to replay here and there. It's a special place to go to and enhoy achieving something while also not fully understanding how it actually works because of how cryptic the game can be at times. Even nowadays with all the new resources. I like how seemingly random it can be.
It's crazy how stats are only count as one condition. Weight, victories, care mistakes and techniques count as one condition each. As a kid I only looked at stats and was always surprised that I never got the digimon I wanted.
I just want to say how much I loved this video. Digimon World 1 is my favourite game. I had no idea about these hidden Digimon. Leomon is my favourite and I'd be so annoyed if I got Ice Leomon to then digivolved into Veggiemon! Keep up the great work!
@@ChaosUntold Thank you for your kind words, ChaosUntold! They are greatly appreciated! And yes, I agree that a form of Leomon digivolving into a Vegiemon is just wrong!
I still love Digimon World 1 to this day and I can just sit down and play it any time, any day. Back in the day there were many rumors floating around about how you'd get some digimon, I especially remember a guy who held the secret as to how you could get a SkullGreymon and we'd hold tournaments where we brought our best digimon to see who was number one. Well over a decade after the fact I picked up the game again seriously and browsed through the internet to see all the specific details for all the different conditions for digivolutions and god damn, they just don't make games as they used to.
I'd love to see some Digimon world 2003 content from you :D I loved that game a child and so far your videos on Digimon world games have brought back amazing memories and taught me things I never knew about these games! It also taught me how I accidentally did some of those things my friends would say never happened haha!
The italian version of the game had a glitch that prevented you from ever getting into the ancient dino region. Every time you tried, Tyronnomon would just come out and fight you over and over again. You could still finish the game, since the area wasnt mandatory, but you missed out on all of the ogremon fortress and factorial town content. On the plus side you had infinite hp chips. I didnt didnt know about these hidden things and it's nice to know about it since it's one of my favorite games (i had to get an english copy years later to check out the things i missed cause of the mentioned glitch).
Ah yes, I am somewhat aware of the weird version differences of World 1 😅. I intend to cover that in a different video later on! Those infinite HP chips probably don't make up for that problem, though 🤧.
There was also the glitch in the French , every other one translated from it, that made it impossible to talk to the Agumon at the entrance to the Ogre Fortress. That basically cut the playable content in those versions in half!
The Japanese version of digimon world 1 have a technique you can use when you start a new game to access many evolution items which includes the evolution item for those 3 secret digimon.
Secret characters in case of Digimon games are more so based on the Digimon Vpets, which are a brother franchise to the Tamagotchi toys. There is a Tamagotchi character from a 1998 Tamagotchi x Mothra device that was only figured out how to raise in 2024. Digimon Vpets have weirdly arbitrary evolution lines too at times, considering the Digimon World games are based on them. I feel like a lot of people tend to forget the origin of Digimon franchise when talking about the games! Always remember, Digimon is a physical toy franchise first, and game franchise third next to anime, really.
Just subscribed after watching your secret digivolution video and this one, awesome content! Not much coverage of this series overall so I appreciate someone delving into childhood favorite games of mine!
I had an unofficial guide that claimed the following: The Metal Banana is available as a rare drop from PlatinumSukamon. By giving the Mega Hand to a Digimon that could evolve into Megadramon anyway, it evolves into Gigadramon instead. Using the Beetlepearl is the only way to get HerculesKabuterimon. Panjyamon wasn't mentioned in it.
Your videos made me replay digimon world 1 again, and for the first time in my life, I beat it. No guide got megadramon, then eventually went on to get MegaSeadramon to finish the game, with some embarrassment in between. Young me has found a little bit of peace! Thanks for the videos.
First off. Digimon World 1 was one of my favorite games growing up even though the PAL version was unable to finish duo the Ogre Fortress, so emulator later helps. I wish they would have released a remake or another version of the game, being so chill and comfortable with the music etc. The hidden monster really surprised me and that people actually found a way to get Hercules Kaputerimon is mindblown. Thanks for the throwback!
I already knew all of it, but it's always nice to hear about it again. Gigadramon is one of my fave variations so it's a shame it's not accessible, but megadramon is always nice to have.
Actually it's the second, Digital Monster ver S Digimon Tamers for the Sega Saturn predates World 1, but Digimon World 1 actually released outside of Japan so people actually played it.
My man delivers again! But holy crap Digimon World 1?! Never would I have imagined that this game would have so much cut content! But the Metal Etemon giveaway... God that's just sad... Wonder what the winners of them back then did with the memory cards? Hope they kept them at least! Playground rumors huh? We had one going around that Omegamon himself was in the game! But alas no dice... Got a MetalGreymon out of that rumor thou so yeah it's all good!
@@thesaltyweeb I am glad you enjoyed the video, Saltyweeb! :D I did look into the Omegamon rumours, but they had no basis whatsoever, really 😅. But hey, at least you got a metalgreymon! :D
The good ol' days of gaming mysteries. Cannot forget the fact that once I leveled a Milktank to lvl 59 because they were suppossed to learn a move that I had to use in front of the forest shrine to summon Celebi. Years later I learned that the only legit way to get one was to have a japanese copy of the game, and to physically go to a convention where you were handed some code in order to get a speciall poke ball.
After so many years learning about all this secret is amazing ! DW1 will always be a fond memory for me ( also because the stupid amount of hours i spent on it xD ) keep digging for more !
Using an item you had to get mailed to you, and then your digimon turns into an egg and the item is gone forever, sounds like the worst prize imo. Unless the memory card was custom
@@camilocagliolo yeah I guess one use per game. It just feels kind of sad. Like "here's a special event memory card where you can get a character for 1 hour and then you would have to start all over again" but if the memory card had a cool design or something it'd have more utility than getting a special character temporarily. Maybe if the file added it to the vendor that sells evolution items it'd feel a little better.
The text about MetalEtemon in the Japanese guidebook mentioning his new techniques and whatnot is all in his lore, as is him being referred to as "King of Digimon". Etemon was always a very prideful and rather arrogant Digimon, especially in the original Digimon Adventure anime series, where he battled the Chosen Children (or Digidestined for those who prefer the English terminology) and was eventually defeated when Tai used his crest of courage to digivolve Greymon into MetalGreymon for the first time. After Etemon's defeat, he clung onto his hatred for them and vowed to get his revenge, ultimately culminating in him being reincarnated and digivolving into MetalEtemon in the process. After this, he returned to face the Chosen Children again while they were fighting the Dark Masters (specifically Puppetmon, who MetalEtemon briefly fought), only to be killed again after Zudomon damaged the armor on his chest with his hammer, allowing SaberLeomon to finish him off for good this time. I mention all this because in tge anime, Etemon boastfully called himself a king, believing himself to be superior because of his strength. On a side note, I have heard that it is possible to get WereGarurumon using the moon mirror, but from what I heard, it only seems to be usable on Garurumon (which is weird, because digivolution items normally work on any Digimon of the appropriate level), and even then, only at a specific hour at night -- I don't know what the exact details of how this works are, so if anyone has more information on this, feel free to fill in whatever I got wrong. What I DO know about WereGarurumon and his existence in this game, however, is that if you ARE able to successfully digivolve your Digimon into him, he only can use one technique (that being fire tower, yay), but otherwise he is invisible, cannot be interacted with, and he tends to crash your game if you do certain things with him. In my opinion, you really aren't missing out on much if you can't obtain him, and going through the effort to do so doesn't seem to be worth it
WereGarurumon is just impossible to get at all: - The Moon Mirror will not work on any digimon, WereGarurumon has a level of 0 and the evolution items only work if the digimon is one level behind, so the only way to make it work would be to have a digimon with the level -1 (which is impossible). To add to this, the levels are: 1 (baby), 2 (in-training), 3 (rookie), 4 (champion), 5 (ultimate). You can try this cheat code, which should change Weregarurumon level to the right one: 8012DB68 0502, but that would go then to the second part... - Even if the level was right, the game will try to load a model that does not exist, so it ends up crashing, the people that made the videos probably made the game skip the model loading part (which is why it does not have a model in those videos). - No model means no animations to play, so when the game has to wait for the digimon to play an animation... It will wait for something that never happens...
Is it possible that one of those genuine metalbananas still exist to this day? Most likely not, but what about the memory cards themselves? That migjt be a cool memento.
I don't know how, but I actually managed to avoid ever hearing about ANY of this, so everything in the video was news to me! This was very interesting to watch, I learned much more than I imagined I would. You've got to love games that were so obscure that key parts of the mechanics go unknown for years until some dedicated fans can finally nail them down.
There were also rumors when I was a kid about going to Whamon´s cave after finishing the game or something, saying that you would find a WarGreymon there and if you beat him you could get his evo item. I'm talking about 2004 - 2010 internet forums. I played this game between 2006 and 2010.
There's one thing you missed about WereGarurumon. Not only was the Moon Mirror in the game, there was also a 16x16 sprite that was in the game's code for WereGarurumon. It does not use the sprite from the Pendulum, but a slightly modified Leomon sprite.
Hey Digimonprofessor! Like I mentioned in the video, I want to dig a little deeper with the Missing Digimon stuff, so I figured I'd cover it in a different video. But yes, you are right. There are some remnants of weregarurumon data in there, for sure!
Mine once turned into Kuwagamon, and I trained him to brink death it turns into H. Kabuterimon. That golden bastard dominated all my friends digimons lol.
The H-Kabuterimon statement about his requirements were only discovered in 2011 throws me off. We knew how to get him and we got him pretty consistently if not happily - that is we were happy when we would get him and I'm certain it was many years earlier than 2011. And yea he was AWESOME. Him and Pheonixmon was just so much fun to have in the game.
I started watching your videos and it made me wanna play again. I was training a kabuterimon and it evolved to metaletemon. I'm using gameshark for max stats but I didn't use any Evo items. It's it's 13th day, it was 55g before evolving and it's got max stats and no trading mistakes.
Aside from the tree, there is also a locked ice door in Freezeland! Except it has no dialogue, and you cant interact with it, it even has a lamp post outside of sorts!
Very interesting... I enjoyed hearing about the cut areas. It's like they really had a plan, but they had to pick and choose what to cut out due to time. 😭
Great research man. Here's a fun one, in the UK/EU versions of the game, the main story can't progress past the Ogremon fight in his fortress. The game is unbeatable!
There was also the Bon Bon premium disc, a demo disc that came with the Bon Bon magazine. It's crazy that Japan got like 3 different version of the game: a demo, the first release and the last release fixing some bugs. (there is another demo disc but I think it's pretty much the same as the first release)
Loving the Digimon World 1&2 stuff around, those two are games that I love for playing for years without internet so I can experience the oddities including PAL glitches. The type of broken messy games that end up being charming
I remember that the strategy guide for Dimon World didn't even cover Factory Town, the beetle area, and only hinted to skullgreymon in the manor. I only found out that you could recruit kabuterimon and kuwagumon less than a year ago. I should try playing again now that I know some of this stuff now.
I had one of those cheat discs that would come packaged with old game magazines back in the day, and it gave 99 Metalbananas to your DW save file. Makes me wonder if the same publication added the other items in later discs.
@@CrystalPapa Yes. This one in particular was a publication for English PAL regions. I'm struggling to remember the name of the publication, but I still have the mag and disc in boxes somewhere. I recall This particular issue's disc had cheats for Final Fantasy IX (giving Zidane max stats) too.
Panjyamon was made accessible through a special CD available in a park. I've found it for sale on a Japanese website. I didn't buy it, but it's super rare. This was at the beginning of this whole Retro Gaming collecting craze.
Man this brings back some memories. I used to be a die hard pokemon kid, but this game almost converted me, and would gave succeeded. Had my mon not just died out of nowhere! Lol I was watching my brother play it, along with one of our friends, decided to give it a shot, eventually raised my mon into an Ogremon, and loved that guy! Still one of my favorites. But after he died, I was so heartbroken I didn't pick up a digimon game until cyber sleuth. Now I have an Ogremon I'll never lose 😉
Ah yes, losing Digimon can be a big annoyance 🤧. They did do away with that for World 2 and 3, as well (in case you ever wanna check them out). World 3 is pretty fun, too! :D
From what i heard Weregaruru was planned to debut in this game, but was cut so it can debut in Adventure anime The King of Digimon bit in Metalete likely refers to Ete. So its like Metal Ete is the evo of the king(Ete) kind of thing. I believe Ete claimed to be King of Digimon in one digimon media. Might be adventure anime since it doesnt seem unfamiliar to me
I remember hearing sometime ago about how you can get the MetalBanana without cheating by buying something like 50 Golden Bananas, which would require an absurd amount of bits, and then etemon will just give you one for free. It sounds absurd but my inner child wants to humor the idea and use the infinite chainsaw glitch, but I don't know if it would be worth the trouble for something that is likely just a playground rumor
When I first saw world 1 i fell in love, i watched my brother struggle with it. I tried to play it a few years later and struggled. Went back in my teens and finally managed to get my first Ultimate and also beat the story with it. Oddly it was a HKabuterimon 😂 Ive always wished to find more about cut content or the development, western or otherwise but sadly the only preRelease version I have come across was a preview beta disc that seems to be more or less NTSCU final. The disc is a prize possession with my physical Digimon World 1 original Soundtrack.
I remember my friend mentioning about their DW1 let's play on Something Awful and how it was through that LP that encouraged some adventurous souls to dig into the game code to find out the exact requirements for all the digivolutions that hadn't been confirmed. Wild how some things come to be.
It's just in character for Etemon to call himself "King of Digimon". Especially considering it's in katakana, so it's essentially in "Engrish", and Etemon speaks in "Engrish" a lot as a show-off.
Now, I already knew of MetalEtemon being in the game, but I didn't know about Panjyamon or Gigadramon! At one point, with how much I'd played this game and how long it'd been since I last Digimon Adventure, I thought I'd misremembered Gigadramon, that I was going crazy! And the Megas I know of in this game are: Jijimon, HerculesKabuterimon, Phoenixmon, MetalEtemon and the final boss Machinedramon! They also kept how to get Phoenixmon and MegaSeadramon a secret in the guide I still have, leaving you alone to figure out Giromon completely, no Chart like with the others, unlike with HerculesKabuterimon, Phoenixmon and MegaSeadramon, so I'm not sure why kept their stats so tightly under wraps! Also, people don't realise this, but Mew actually SAVED Pokémon from flopping!
this game gave me unexplainable excitement everytime that digivolution gif popping out. there was a rumor that you can get to digivolve to cherrymon too.
BTW that Kaminarimon that you look with disdain is actually a reference to one of the famous temple in Asakusa,Tokyo. One of the entrance called the lightning(kaminari-雷 )GATE(mon-門). Since Digimon is normally written in katakana, the joke is lost in translation but very obvious to Japanese
Reminds me of Magi-nation. Spent hours trying to find monsters who had items in the game without luck. Their location was also in the guide book. Still wonder if it was removed content.
that Metal MOnkey hearing that was a VERY limited Give away really Blows as who knows if anyone in Japan of those 50 winners still has it let alone never deleted there Save Files.

ALSO,forgot to mention. There is another hidden item,only obtainable with GS,called AS Decoder but was scrapped in the end. Doesn't do anything,probably early in the game should have been used to translate the Leomon Table,but was later scrapped. Neat! xD
@@mick.cBrooooooo I never knew about the demo nugget you dropped. You learn something new about this game every day.
Honestly, the panjyamon digivolving to vegiemon doesn't really suprise me, especially in a world where Yugioh Forbidden Memories exists, a game where you can fuse a tiger axe and a darkfire dragon to make COCOON OF FUCKING EVOLUTION?!
That's the PS1 game right? I never get most of the fusion since it's easier just to get the twin head thunder dragon with dragon + thunder + dragon/thunder to get it and still having a hard time to beat some of the area because they have ridiculous cards that very strong against your non raigeki/ultimate moth/blue eyes or any 3000+ atk/def cards. 😂😂😂
Me and a friend once said that the main concept of Digimon World 1 was that the Digimon only wants to eat, sleep and shit.
It's only mow I understand why Etemon, the King of Digimon, was an Elvis impersonator in the dub.
My whole neighborhood group of kids passed around a copy of DW1 and it was always fun to see who could get the furthest.
Our greatest mystery was having our champin die to Greymon when he attacked outside of JiJis house and we got a Phoenixmon, it blew all our minds and we never could replicate. Cheat Code Central was useless there.
A game being played by everyone around? That legit sounds awesome! :D
Omg you just made me remember cheat code central… thank you!
what the heck.. the exact same thing happened to me, my brother and my cousin. We were stuck inside Jijimon's house because of Greymon for a bit and our Kokatorimon suddenly became phoenixmon out of absolutely nowhere. Is there some secret programming around that event or something...? Edit: Oh, I searched it up. Losing a life as a Kokatorimon can indeed result in phoenixmon (10% chance). Still, it's nearly the same exact story, and it blew our child minds!
6:00 Panjyamon digivolve to Gamecrashmon
😂😂
I adored Digimon world 1. Spent months trying to get every Digivolve. Fond fond memories
Suddenly out of nowhere last week, I suddenly wanted to play this game again. and now, here I am with a video talking about it.
I would love to see an HD remake of this game like the HD remake of Halo 1 and 2.
I would be pretty happy if we do get something like that!
One of the newer ones I think New order is a sort of carry on from the first, don't wanna soil if you havent played but it was made for those who played this one
Absolutely loved this video! You organized the information very well and I learned a lot of new things. Digimon World 1 was my cannon event game growing up and nothing will ever beat the feeling of exploring that world with my digital monster and praying that he doesn’t turn into Numemon for the 8th time. Please make more Digimon World 1 content!
Thank you for your kind words, AmazingChest!
I am glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, I do intend on making some more World 1 content (another new video went online today, in case you're interested ^_^).
Digimon World is my favorite game of all time. It has a lot of issues but no game comes close to being this cozy and fun to replay here and there. It's a special place to go to and enhoy achieving something while also not fully understanding how it actually works because of how cryptic the game can be at times. Even nowadays with all the new resources. I like how seemingly random it can be.
It's crazy how stats are only count as one condition. Weight, victories, care mistakes and techniques count as one condition each. As a kid I only looked at stats and was always surprised that I never got the digimon I wanted.
I just want to say how much I loved this video. Digimon World 1 is my favourite game. I had no idea about these hidden Digimon. Leomon is my favourite and I'd be so annoyed if I got Ice Leomon to then digivolved into Veggiemon!
Keep up the great work!
@@ChaosUntold Thank you for your kind words, ChaosUntold! They are greatly appreciated!
And yes, I agree that a form of Leomon digivolving into a Vegiemon is just wrong!
I still love Digimon World 1 to this day and I can just sit down and play it any time, any day. Back in the day there were many rumors floating around about how you'd get some digimon, I especially remember a guy who held the secret as to how you could get a SkullGreymon and we'd hold tournaments where we brought our best digimon to see who was number one. Well over a decade after the fact I picked up the game again seriously and browsed through the internet to see all the specific details for all the different conditions for digivolutions and god damn, they just don't make games as they used to.
The old era of games really were kinda special! 😇
I'd love to see some Digimon world 2003 content from you :D I loved that game a child and so far your videos on Digimon world games have brought back amazing memories and taught me things I never knew about these games! It also taught me how I accidentally did some of those things my friends would say never happened haha!
World 3/2003 is definitely coming after I am done with World 1 content! 😇
The italian version of the game had a glitch that prevented you from ever getting into the ancient dino region. Every time you tried, Tyronnomon would just come out and fight you over and over again. You could still finish the game, since the area wasnt mandatory, but you missed out on all of the ogremon fortress and factorial town content. On the plus side you had infinite hp chips.
I didnt didnt know about these hidden things and it's nice to know about it since it's one of my favorite games (i had to get an english copy years later to check out the things i missed cause of the mentioned glitch).
Ah yes, I am somewhat aware of the weird version differences of World 1 😅. I intend to cover that in a different video later on!
Those infinite HP chips probably don't make up for that problem, though 🤧.
wouldn't that prevent you from recruiting tyranomon?
@@manluck It did, you couldnt recruit Tyrannomon and get to the Ancient Dino Region
There was also the glitch in the French , every other one translated from it, that made it impossible to talk to the Agumon at the entrance to the Ogre Fortress. That basically cut the playable content in those versions in half!
The Japanese version of digimon world 1 have a technique you can use when you start a new game to access many evolution items which includes the evolution item for those 3 secret digimon.
Secret characters in case of Digimon games are more so based on the Digimon Vpets, which are a brother franchise to the Tamagotchi toys. There is a Tamagotchi character from a 1998 Tamagotchi x Mothra device that was only figured out how to raise in 2024. Digimon Vpets have weirdly arbitrary evolution lines too at times, considering the Digimon World games are based on them. I feel like a lot of people tend to forget the origin of Digimon franchise when talking about the games! Always remember, Digimon is a physical toy franchise first, and game franchise third next to anime, really.
Digmimon World 1 is very nostalgic for me so these are very fun niche videos no on else is making. Thank you sir!
Loved this.
Thank you for sharing!
Just subscribed after watching your secret digivolution video and this one, awesome content! Not much coverage of this series overall so I appreciate someone delving into childhood favorite games of mine!
I like your Digimon World 1 and 2 content. It's so awesome to gain this knowledge after those years!

Love this DW1 Content so much and you really are a true nerd. Keep it up!
Thank you for your kind words, MotigEX! :D
I had an unofficial guide that claimed the following:
The Metal Banana is available as a rare drop from PlatinumSukamon.
By giving the Mega Hand to a Digimon that could evolve into Megadramon anyway, it evolves into Gigadramon instead.
Using the Beetlepearl is the only way to get HerculesKabuterimon.
Panjyamon wasn't mentioned in it.
What in the world!? 😂
You wouldn't happen to still have that guide lying around, would you? I'd really like to take a look!
@@CrystalPapa I don't think so. It was a paperback from 2002.
This is the beauty of old games full of secrets and mysteries 👍👍 i was obsessed with this game when i was a kid
The hero we needed, just found y'all like yesterday, peak comfy TH-cam. 🤙🤙
Your videos made me replay digimon world 1 again, and for the first time in my life, I beat it. No guide got megadramon, then eventually went on to get MegaSeadramon to finish the game, with some embarrassment in between. Young me has found a little bit of peace! Thanks for the videos.
First off. Digimon World 1 was one of my favorite games growing up even though the PAL version was unable to finish duo the Ogre Fortress, so emulator later helps.
I wish they would have released a remake or another version of the game, being so chill and comfortable with the music etc.
The hidden monster really surprised me and that people actually found a way to get Hercules Kaputerimon is mindblown.
Thanks for the throwback!
thanks for the video, it feels like resolving some issue long while in my mind since childhood :D
I am glad I could help! :D
I already knew all of it, but it's always nice to hear about it again. Gigadramon is one of my fave variations so it's a shame it's not accessible, but megadramon is always nice to have.
This was really cool, thank you for shedding light on some cool hidden aspects of Digimon's oldest video game
I am glad you enjoyed the video, Heart! :D
Actually it's the second, Digital Monster ver S Digimon Tamers for the Sega Saturn predates World 1, but Digimon World 1 actually released outside of Japan so people actually played it.
My man delivers again!
But holy crap Digimon World 1?! Never would I have imagined that this game would have so much cut content!
But the Metal Etemon giveaway... God that's just sad... Wonder what the winners of them back then did with the memory cards? Hope they kept them at least!
Playground rumors huh? We had one going around that Omegamon himself was in the game! But alas no dice... Got a MetalGreymon out of that rumor thou so yeah it's all good!
@@thesaltyweeb I am glad you enjoyed the video, Saltyweeb! :D
I did look into the Omegamon rumours, but they had no basis whatsoever, really 😅.
But hey, at least you got a metalgreymon! :D
6:00 If I saw that as a kid, I would 100% think without a doubt that I was about to be sucked into my game and transported to the Digital World.
The good ol' days of gaming mysteries. Cannot forget the fact that once I leveled a Milktank to lvl 59 because they were suppossed to learn a move that I had to use in front of the forest shrine to summon Celebi. Years later I learned that the only legit way to get one was to have a japanese copy of the game, and to physically go to a convention where you were handed some code in order to get a speciall poke ball.
After so many years learning about all this secret is amazing ! DW1 will always be a fond memory for me ( also because the stupid amount of hours i spent on it xD ) keep digging for more !
Using an item you had to get mailed to you, and then your digimon turns into an egg and the item is gone forever, sounds like the worst prize imo. Unless the memory card was custom
I haven't been able to find any info about particulars regarding those memory cards yet, but I doubt it was much different from a regular card.
You could copy the game info into another mem card to save the item. So it would have an use per game, basically.
@@camilocagliolo yeah I guess one use per game. It just feels kind of sad. Like "here's a special event memory card where you can get a character for 1 hour and then you would have to start all over again" but if the memory card had a cool design or something it'd have more utility than getting a special character temporarily. Maybe if the file added it to the vendor that sells evolution items it'd feel a little better.
great video i am happy to see love for this old game
Crazy to still see Digimon World 1 Content!
Even crazier is, at least for me, new content!
Hope there will be more xd
The text about MetalEtemon in the Japanese guidebook mentioning his new techniques and whatnot is all in his lore, as is him being referred to as "King of Digimon". Etemon was always a very prideful and rather arrogant Digimon, especially in the original Digimon Adventure anime series, where he battled the Chosen Children (or Digidestined for those who prefer the English terminology) and was eventually defeated when Tai used his crest of courage to digivolve Greymon into MetalGreymon for the first time. After Etemon's defeat, he clung onto his hatred for them and vowed to get his revenge, ultimately culminating in him being reincarnated and digivolving into MetalEtemon in the process. After this, he returned to face the Chosen Children again while they were fighting the Dark Masters (specifically Puppetmon, who MetalEtemon briefly fought), only to be killed again after Zudomon damaged the armor on his chest with his hammer, allowing SaberLeomon to finish him off for good this time. I mention all this because in tge anime, Etemon boastfully called himself a king, believing himself to be superior because of his strength.
On a side note, I have heard that it is possible to get WereGarurumon using the moon mirror, but from what I heard, it only seems to be usable on Garurumon (which is weird, because digivolution items normally work on any Digimon of the appropriate level), and even then, only at a specific hour at night -- I don't know what the exact details of how this works are, so if anyone has more information on this, feel free to fill in whatever I got wrong. What I DO know about WereGarurumon and his existence in this game, however, is that if you ARE able to successfully digivolve your Digimon into him, he only can use one technique (that being fire tower, yay), but otherwise he is invisible, cannot be interacted with, and he tends to crash your game if you do certain things with him. In my opinion, you really aren't missing out on much if you can't obtain him, and going through the effort to do so doesn't seem to be worth it
WereGarurumon is just impossible to get at all:
- The Moon Mirror will not work on any digimon, WereGarurumon has a level of 0 and the evolution items only work if the digimon is one level behind, so the only way to make it work would be to have a digimon with the level -1 (which is impossible). To add to this, the levels are: 1 (baby), 2 (in-training), 3 (rookie), 4 (champion), 5 (ultimate).
You can try this cheat code, which should change Weregarurumon level to the right one: 8012DB68 0502, but that would go then to the second part...
- Even if the level was right, the game will try to load a model that does not exist, so it ends up crashing, the people that made the videos probably made the game skip the model loading part (which is why it does not have a model in those videos).
- No model means no animations to play, so when the game has to wait for the digimon to play an animation... It will wait for something that never happens...
Truth be told I completely forgot that Etemon digivolved into MetalEtemon in the anime.
Is it possible that one of those genuine metalbananas still exist to this day?
Most likely not, but what about the memory cards themselves? That migjt be a cool memento.
Love this game. Great videos dude!
I am glad you're enjoying the content, friend! :D
I don't know how, but I actually managed to avoid ever hearing about ANY of this, so everything in the video was news to me! This was very interesting to watch, I learned much more than I imagined I would. You've got to love games that were so obscure that key parts of the mechanics go unknown for years until some dedicated fans can finally nail them down.
There were also rumors when I was a kid about going to Whamon´s cave after finishing the game or something, saying that you would find a WarGreymon there and if you beat him you could get his evo item. I'm talking about 2004 - 2010 internet forums. I played this game between 2006 and 2010.
I always enjoy watching your content!
Nicest thing to see you feeding numemon! Keep it up bro!
There's one thing you missed about WereGarurumon. Not only was the Moon Mirror in the game, there was also a 16x16 sprite that was in the game's code for WereGarurumon. It does not use the sprite from the Pendulum, but a slightly modified Leomon sprite.
Hey Digimonprofessor!
Like I mentioned in the video, I want to dig a little deeper with the Missing Digimon stuff, so I figured I'd cover it in a different video.
But yes, you are right. There are some remnants of weregarurumon data in there, for sure!
Not to mention the Digimon Digital Card Battle share the same DMW1 models. So,MAYBE,the WGarurumon model in there could have been the same as DMW1.
Thank you very much for making this video. I love this game and it is always fun to revisit it. Have an amazing day.
Thank you for your kind words, friend! I hope you have a great day, too! :D

My favourite part was learning more about the secrets of this game in general, great video (which killed another radio star).
Great video! Thanks for all your research! 🎉
You make GREAT content!
Than you for your kind words, Zerozeru! I am glad you're enjoying the content! :D
So glad to see Digimon World 1 still being talked about. I still hope for a proper remake not that other game they made.
Mine once turned into Kuwagamon, and I trained him to brink death it turns into H. Kabuterimon.
That golden bastard dominated all my friends digimons lol.
Never played digimon world 1 but this video is a lot interesting, congrats 😊
The H-Kabuterimon statement about his requirements were only discovered in 2011 throws me off. We knew how to get him and we got him pretty consistently if not happily - that is we were happy when we would get him and I'm certain it was many years earlier than 2011. And yea he was AWESOME. Him and Pheonixmon was just so much fun to have in the game.
This game was my childhood, lol crazy that this video popped up as recommended now.
That's insane! Crazy that there were events for PS1 too
I started watching your videos and it made me wanna play again. I was training a kabuterimon and it evolved to metaletemon. I'm using gameshark for max stats but I didn't use any Evo items. It's it's 13th day, it was 55g before evolving and it's got max stats and no trading mistakes.
i really enjoy walking around the world, especially mt panorama. wish it could be vaster. and gear savanna night is the best ost in the game
Thank you for digi-content
You're most welcome! 😄
I love this video, please do more about Digimon world 1 🤩
Have got another one going online in about an hour!
I hope you like it :D!
Aside from the tree, there is also a locked ice door in Freezeland! Except it has no dialogue, and you cant interact with it, it even has a lamp post outside of sorts!
is the location close to where you fought garurumon? if so it is yukidarumon's home and you can meet him
That's pretty interesting! I'll take a look when I get the chance!
Very interesting...
I enjoyed hearing about the cut areas. It's like they really had a plan, but they had to pick and choose what to cut out due to time. 😭
A digimon youtuber with good audio quality 🥰
Great research man. Here's a fun one, in the UK/EU versions of the game, the main story can't progress past the Ogremon fight in his fortress. The game is unbeatable!
MetalETemon is sweet. Good vid!
There was also the Bon Bon premium disc, a demo disc that came with the Bon Bon magazine.
It's crazy that Japan got like 3 different version of the game: a demo, the first release and the last release fixing some bugs.
(there is another demo disc but I think it's pretty much the same as the first release)
I think an alpha version (the one on the Bandai WBMachine site) must phisically exist,but i'm only theorizing about it
Loving the Digimon World 1&2 stuff around, those two are games that I love for playing for years without internet so I can experience the oddities including PAL glitches. The type of broken messy games that end up being charming
I remember that the strategy guide for Dimon World didn't even cover Factory Town, the beetle area, and only hinted to skullgreymon in the manor. I only found out that you could recruit kabuterimon and kuwagumon less than a year ago. I should try playing again now that I know some of this stuff now.
I had one of those cheat discs that would come packaged with old game magazines back in the day, and it gave 99 Metalbananas to your DW save file. Makes me wonder if the same publication added the other items in later discs.
Oh I don't think I've seen those particular discs myself. Did they come with a magazine or something?
@@CrystalPapa Yes. This one in particular was a publication for English PAL regions. I'm struggling to remember the name of the publication, but I still have the mag and disc in boxes somewhere. I recall This particular issue's disc had cheats for Final Fantasy IX (giving Zidane max stats) too.
Panjyamon was made accessible through a special CD available in a park. I've found it for sale on a Japanese website. I didn't buy it, but it's super rare. This was at the beginning of this whole Retro Gaming collecting craze.
0:41 That Courage the Cowardly Dog reference in a Digimon World video just got you a subscriber sir.
That show is definitely one of the GOATs! Always nice to find another Courage fan in the wild! ^_^
The graphic quality is so high, what are you using?
Man this brings back some memories. I used to be a die hard pokemon kid, but this game almost converted me, and would gave succeeded. Had my mon not just died out of nowhere! Lol I was watching my brother play it, along with one of our friends, decided to give it a shot, eventually raised my mon into an Ogremon, and loved that guy! Still one of my favorites. But after he died, I was so heartbroken I didn't pick up a digimon game until cyber sleuth. Now I have an Ogremon I'll never lose 😉
Ah yes, losing Digimon can be a big annoyance 🤧. They did do away with that for World 2 and 3, as well (in case you ever wanna check them out).
World 3 is pretty fun, too! :D
I misread this so bad
From what i heard Weregaruru was planned to debut in this game, but was cut so it can debut in Adventure anime
The King of Digimon bit in Metalete likely refers to Ete. So its like Metal Ete is the evo of the king(Ete) kind of thing. I believe Ete claimed to be King of Digimon in one digimon media. Might be adventure anime since it doesnt seem unfamiliar to me
I remember hearing sometime ago about how you can get the MetalBanana without cheating by buying something like 50 Golden Bananas, which would require an absurd amount of bits, and then etemon will just give you one for free. It sounds absurd but my inner child wants to humor the idea and use the infinite chainsaw glitch, but I don't know if it would be worth the trouble for something that is likely just a playground rumor
Ah yes, I remember that "secret method" myself 🤣.
When I first saw world 1 i fell in love, i watched my brother struggle with it. I tried to play it a few years later and struggled. Went back in my teens and finally managed to get my first Ultimate and also beat the story with it. Oddly it was a HKabuterimon 😂
Ive always wished to find more about cut content or the development, western or otherwise but sadly the only preRelease version I have come across was a preview beta disc that seems to be more or less NTSCU final. The disc is a prize possession with my physical Digimon World 1 original Soundtrack.
Bruh Panjyamon just evolved beyond his physical limits
Well that is possible!
I just assumed it was trying to turn into the Digimon equivalent of Missingno! 😅
I remember my friend mentioning about their DW1 let's play on Something Awful and how it was through that LP that encouraged some adventurous souls to dig into the game code to find out the exact requirements for all the digivolutions that hadn't been confirmed. Wild how some things come to be.
Panjyamon was distributed in the Digimon World Premium Disc, a game demo given by the Comic Bonbon magazine.
It's just in character for Etemon to call himself "King of Digimon". Especially considering it's in katakana, so it's essentially in "Engrish", and Etemon speaks in "Engrish" a lot as a show-off.
6:05 Bro somehow evolved Panjyamon into ZeedMillenniumon
Now, I already knew of MetalEtemon being in the game, but I didn't know about Panjyamon or Gigadramon! At one point, with how much I'd played this game and how long it'd been since I last Digimon Adventure, I thought I'd misremembered Gigadramon, that I was going crazy!
And the Megas I know of in this game are: Jijimon, HerculesKabuterimon, Phoenixmon, MetalEtemon and the final boss Machinedramon! They also kept how to get Phoenixmon and MegaSeadramon a secret in the guide I still have, leaving you alone to figure out Giromon completely, no Chart like with the others, unlike with HerculesKabuterimon, Phoenixmon and MegaSeadramon, so I'm not sure why kept their stats so tightly under wraps!
Also, people don't realise this, but Mew actually SAVED Pokémon from flopping!
The last time I played this game I remember getting Hercules kabuterimon
this game gave me unexplainable excitement everytime that digivolution gif popping out. there was a rumor that you can get to digivolve to cherrymon too.
BTW that Kaminarimon that you look with disdain is actually a reference to one of the famous temple in Asakusa,Tokyo. One of the entrance called the lightning(kaminari-雷 )GATE(mon-門). Since Digimon is normally written in katakana, the joke is lost in translation but very obvious to Japanese
Reminds me of Magi-nation. Spent hours trying to find monsters who had items in the game without luck. Their location was also in the guide book. Still wonder if it was removed content.
that Metal MOnkey hearing that was a VERY limited Give away really Blows as who knows if anyone in Japan of those 50 winners still has it let alone never deleted there Save Files.
