1:18 For anyone who doesn't know this artist (LemonyFresh) sadly passed away earlier this year. I'm glad he was able to be in this collab, he made incredible stuff
Same. I imagine Sephiroth would be the same. Just refusing to stop fighting Cloud until something else comes along and kills them both. They're both in Smash, so probably the Piranha Plant or Steve.
@@dontage815 You know what's the best part? The fact that the characters from original song are destined to face the same fate in every version. Mr Rogers wins all the time.
Ye. It kinda allows for younger people to understand the significance of the references they don't understand by comparing the significance to ones they *do* understand.
i love how every animator, whatever other continuity issues arise between shots, all unanimously agree that superman is the nicholas cage one from the jon peters movie that never got made
I love this because it's just an excuse to shove as many references in a shot as possible. I never thought I'd see the Mighty Monarch outside of Venture Bros but I love it
What a fantastic homage to the original. I didn't know the video was already 15 years old, damn! And of course, Neil Cicierega/Lemon Demon is a genius and the cover actually did an amazing job, so did the animators who collabed on this giant of a project!
The cover was actually a redone version by Lemon Demon for their album Live (Only Not). I wasn't a huge fan of it when I first heard it but I've warmed up to it. Plus it's longer so we got more content!
3:16 I like how this guy's part has godzilla retreating back to water for the next movie, but then the next part just has him *dead on the floor, nothing but bones*
I'm guessing him being bones is a reference to either the original 1954 movie where the oxygen destroyer kills him which destroys his flesh turns him into a skeleton before it destroys his bones as well or the 2002 Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and 2003 Tokyo SOS which retcons the ending of 1954's Godzilla to having his skeleton survive and used to build Kiryu the Millennium era's Mechagodzilla around his skeleton
My headcanon is that nobody could bring themselves to be the person who murdered Fred Rogers. That wouldn't be acting like how Mr. Rogers knows you can act. You wouldn't disappoint THE Mr. Rogers, WOULD YOU?!
I didn't grow up with Mr. Roger's neighborhood (being born in 2005, I grew up with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood when it came out on PBS Kids), but from the knowledge I have about the guy, it just makes sense.
I've never heard of LemonyFresh before, but seeing how freaking smooth that anymation of his is-I mean, look at the way Lincoln just _oozes_ out of the shadow-his early death is a damn shame. A wonderful project to remember him by.
The way he animated Batman in that part was equally amazing. I knew him mostly for his Game Grumps stuff and I'm so sad he's gone, but at least his contribution to this was one great final animation... ;w;
@@christopherb501 No those took themselves too seriously and overloaded themselves with bullshit political statements that take you right out of the story.

i was into the original when it was big. my child just showed me this re-make asking if i knew what it was. i feel my influence of parenting is going as planned
I really appreciate the scene LeeJay did at 4:23. I like how amazing animated it is (the whole song is as well but this just stood out to me). It included Garfield which was really great for me and also the little detail of Jenny trying to defend herself at the last moment. There is so much in this song in each frame so something as simple yet beautifully animated as this makes me smile and really appreciate how many people worked on it.
3:25 Man, seeing Roger's so traumatized really changes the ultimate showdown from a quirky funny battle royale to a brutal centuries long war with only one survivor.

The influence this song has had is legitimately unbelievable, and it's great to see such an awesome tribute for it!
This showdown lacked Mr T. I mean they put Chuck Norris, but no Mr T? Or MacGyver? It felt incomplete. Doesn't anyone remember Mr T vs Everything? That was also during the Chuck Norris facts era of the internet.
Using Lemon Demon's updated recording for this is definitely part of what puts this over the top. I've watched it ten times, catching something new each time, and I still have some happy tears coming. Give it a minute, guys, the algorithm is coming for this video.
This implies that every single person in fiction and nonfiction are battling to the death in Tokyo. With how absurdly broken fictional characters can be, of all people to win it was Mr. Fricking Rogers.
I mean it’s more believable than you think Most of the god level threats would probably end up killing eachother so quickly that there may not even by any left to deal with the weaker threats leaving mr Rodger’s an actual chance
The fact that scout was there for no reason (Keep in mind this is in tokyo) then just got scratched to death by snoopy is oddly fitting for how low damage can kill him in one hit
Incredible tribute to a defining piece of media I first viewed as a kid. There are things from the past I wanted to see a full resolution to, and this was one of them. Remarkable animators doing wonderful work and giving this era of fan-driven, silly animation the reimagining and send off it deserves. Props to everybody who participated. It really made me happy.
I'm enamored by how much love Godzilla gets here, as a huge fan it's great to see him consistently a major player throughout the battle, and his death having it's very own scene
It's actually referencing when Godzilla, after fighting the M.U.T.Os (massive unidentified terrestrial organism) walked back to the ocean in 2014, soon to be seen again in Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019 when he fought Monster 0. (aka Ghidorah)
@@AIephNullity Not really. You'll notice that Godzilla returning to the ocean is not a trope specific to 2014's Godzilla. Dozens of other films end their run with the exact same scene, furthermore Godzilla definitely isn't returning to the ocean as his body language is that of a dying creature. The weak attempts to stay steady, the slump as he begins to fall ,and most telling of all, his inability to charge and fire atomic breath.
The fact that so many of these characters were created after the release of the song is really a testament to the song and this collab. Good job guys, all of you!
its just question of time until someone decides to actually make a movie based on this music. theres a lot of copyright problems but i dont think it is something impossible to happen.
Wanted to say that the dude next to Samus in my part at 0:50 is Arnold Schwarzenegger circa C̶o̶l̶l̶a̶t̶e̶r̶a̶l̶ ̶D̶a̶m̶a̶g̶e̶ *Commando. Wanted a good guy comparable to the likes of Chuck Norris in the original.
@@Peusterokos1 You are 100% correct, I definitely just switched the C named Arnold movies there when I commented. Commando has the great one liners like "Blow off some steam, Bennett." and the rocket launcher when he storms that island mansion thing. All I really remember from Collateral Damage is him going, "Collateral damage?! I'll show you f@$%ing collateral damage!"
@@fireblade696 Thanks and so my section was part of the chorus and I had free reign to animate whatever characters from pop culture that I wanted to because the lyrics weren't specific to anyone. It just needed to relate to good guys, bad guys, and explosions, as the song talks about. The original song/animation had musical artists like Aaron Carter, fictional characters like Batman, and action movie stars like Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris. I wanted my picks for good guys and bad guys to not feel out of place and have that same range as the original. So there's Billie Eilish covering the music section, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the action movie star. Chuck Norris was a different kind of 80's action guy, but Arnold was definitely in that realm.
Gotta say that part where Mr Roger's uh, unalives himself is very cinematic and really well animated. Particularly the part where he looks into his blade and sees what he's truly done. Although the black and white unaliving was also super cinema.
@@superguy9834 the deal is that some websites assume using words like kill means you're making death threats and it gets put on blocklists to cut down on that kind of thing
This is perfect. The inclusion of modern characters at least in the video/visuals was much needed to keep this relevant. I wonder what an updated lyrics version would be like.
I still love how Mr. Rogers is presumably stronger than every other being in existence, including Kirby, Goku, Ben Ten, Sonic, Saitama, Bayonetta, and essentially a billion other actual humans and original characters that span the entirety of both human imagination and levels of power. Is it the power of love? Course it is, but it's more so that Mr. Rogers had the most of it. Also the fact that the Black Knight can survive being dismembered and still lost is hilarious. Kudos to the many artists that worked on this, it's a worthy successor to the OG vid!
During the time this was written it was a popular rumor that Mr. Rogers was an ex-army sniper with an insane kill count so I'd make sense since he's the only person here that actually killed people. Of course that turned out false but still
@@inspectorjavert9868 I mean, Bob Ross _was_ an ex drill sergeant, and he's practically renowned for bringing serenity to thousands through painting, so it's not entirely far-fetched a rumour.
@@insertobligatoryreferenceh489 Given Jason Voorhees was already spotted in this video, that makes for a particularly strange question. King Friday together with Mister Rogers in a Blood Stained Sweater may be enough to take out the undead juggernaut.
I’m a big lemon demon fan so of course this meant a lot to me. I actually found myself crying because it was just so beautiful. All the people who worked on this did an amazing job.
they also made sure each had a unique expression on king ghidorah, being a reference to how each one had its own personality in KOMT in particular they gave the left head a carefree expression since he tended to be the most curious and relaxed of the three while the middle is the most aggressive and dominant
This feels like it has come full circle as now the newer generation gets to see the remastered version of the ultimate clsssic, the ultimate showdown. Props to everyone involved 🙏
This showdown lacked Mr T. I mean they put Chuck Norris, but no Mr T? Or MacGyver? It felt incomplete. Doesn't anyone remember Mr T vs Everything? That was also during the Chuck Norris facts era of the internet.
I love the little homages to the original video. Like the kid and his ice cream and the generic "bad guy" dead in a pile. I don't see LowTax in the background, though, which makes me sad.
the original was a huge part of my childhood ngl so when LemonyFresh passed earlier this year it was really sad. i’m so glad this got to be made for the anniversary and he got to be a part of it :’)
IT RETURNS! God this was a gem of its time, and there's something really cool to see these new animations include more pop culture icons that didn't exist at the time still fit right in.
You know what, I know this one won't get the notorioty of the original, TH-cam is such a crowded place nowadays and isn't as neiche, but this needs a ton of love, redone animation and i love it already.

The internet is truly a magical place as no matter how many talented people you keep track of, there will always be way more that you're unaware of, working on an insanely impressive piece of art that you don't even know about. Truly the boundless nature of human passion
The Newgrounds easter eggs made me way happier than it should of. This made me all nostalgic and such to boot. Damn you guys for reminding me I have feelings. Fantastic work was done here.
I appreciate the fact that newgrounds basically has their own section for everybody's safety. mostly characters like alien hominid, daddy and me, pico, and tankman killing grunts. I wonder where hank is though?
@@shadesleyer Honestly, Castle Crashers was a little bit later of an addition to most of the referred stuff here. AH, tankguy were part of the OG Newgrounds. CC was a later development, after initial commercial success of the site and some of Tom's projects. The people who were around for the originals are just of a different generation. To refresh: The original song was released in 2005. Babies born at that time are 17 now. Almost old enough to drink a beer and drive a car in most of the world.
I'm very glad this piece of internet history is remembered even 15 year later. I remember watching the original video when it came out and loved every second of it
Love the touch of having the loading screen still... 10/10 remaking a classic. Well done everyone involved. Also, lovely tribute to LemonyFresh there. Great work.
This legitimately got me misty eyed. The original Ultimate Showdown was the first video I ever really fell in love with when the web was still new to me when I was younger. Being exposed to such raw creativity really showed me what was possible on the internet and also showed me really for the first time how many people loved all the same things I did. Bravo to everyone involved in this, and thank you 😊
A reanimated collab where the artstyles blend together well without too abrasive or confusing a transition between them. There's seriously no part of this that I dislike. A big Bravo! My favourite parts are probably Billie Eilish as one of the "bad guys", the Hero and Dark chao fight and the bob-omb with all the explosives. Oh, and... Hi, Wade!
I like how there probably was a mutual agreement to use the Nicholas Cage Superman
I see everyone were full of culture, I tip my hat to them
I was thinking the same, felt like it was a prerequisite to exclusively draw Nic Cage's Superman and I love it
1 thousand likes, and i am the 1 thousand.... nice
Are you suggesting he isn't?
The one true Superman.
I love how Vader's only contribution to fighting Chuck Norris was just standing by and flipping him off
Vader is the smart. He didn’t know if Chuck Norris would allow them to win.
Was he not pushing him around or something?
@@frozenpeaches06 probably was by flipping him off he might have used the force too
@@Mossmuncher That's what I assumed had happened, could be wrong though

Using Lemon Demon's updated recording for this is definitely part of what puts this over the top. I've watched it ten times, catching something new each time, and I still have some happy tears coming. Give it a minute, guys, the algorithm is coming for this video.
I don't know how I didn't realize this was still Neil, I guess just because it's so much different
0:14 Can I just say Luximus made Godzilla absolutely adorable here? He looks like a cutesy TV show character and I love it.
What about OrphicSow
Kinda reminds me of yoshi
Kinda reminds me of godzooki
He’s giving me dragon tales vibes
1:49
Wow such a beautiful and well animated segment, hope the person who animated it didnt turn out to be a horrible person
Nah that scene is pretty meh.
I recently revisited squizy, not gonna lie the animation was pretty meh.
Honestly the animation could have been better

This implies that every single person in fiction and nonfiction are battling to the death in Tokyo.
With how absurdly broken fictional characters can be, of all people to win it was Mr. Fricking Rogers.
In a bloodstained sweater
Not everyone. Civilians weren't involved, as well as the cameraman.
I mean it’s more believable than you think
Most of the god level threats would probably end up killing eachother so quickly that there may not even by any left to deal with the weaker threats leaving mr Rodger’s an actual chance
@@somerandomguy7375 Plus he is so harmless and innocent that nobody would bother attacking him. Making him basically invincible.

I felt like rewatching the OG and this was uploaded 3 hours ago. What are the odds
I remember seeing it being uploaded 15 or 3 minutes ago.
Witch! 🔥🔥🔥
That's crazy but awesome. 👈👈😎
This is absolutely deranged. It makes the original look grounded.
A fitting tribute. Good work.
The fact that scout was there for no reason (Keep in mind this is in tokyo) then just got scratched to death by snoopy is oddly fitting for how low damage can kill him in one hit
4:30
The Unyielding, The Undying, The Devourer, The Existence-Eater, the Fearkeeper, all shall fall before the eternal beauty that is THE FINAL PAM.
All other then Mr Rogers... For we all know he is fated to win this battle.
riding a ja'am
The fact that Pam doesn't win the whole thing is the most unrealistic part
@@demonchromee9217 Pam on Ja'am
I'm guessing her mount is something that the Monster Factory guys made in Spore?
Incredible tribute to a defining piece of media I first viewed as a kid. There are things from the past I wanted to see a full resolution to, and this was one of them. Remarkable animators doing wonderful work and giving this era of fan-driven, silly animation the reimagining and send off it deserves. Props to everybody who participated. It really made me happy.
For some reason 3:11 hits hard for me
The composition is amazing as we see the death of a titan.
I'm enamored by how much love Godzilla gets here, as a huge fan it's great to see him consistently a major player throughout the battle, and his death having it's very own scene
It's actually referencing when Godzilla, after fighting the M.U.T.Os (massive unidentified terrestrial organism) walked back to the ocean in 2014, soon to be seen again in Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019 when he fought Monster 0. (aka Ghidorah)
I thought he was just walking back into the sea
@@AIephNullity Not really. You'll notice that Godzilla returning to the ocean is not a trope specific to 2014's Godzilla. Dozens of other films end their run with the exact same scene, furthermore Godzilla definitely isn't returning to the ocean as his body language is that of a dying creature. The weak attempts to stay steady, the slump as he begins to fall ,and most telling of all, his inability to charge and fire atomic breath.
He ain't dead, he just went back to the ocean for the next movie. That was '98 Zilla.
i like how godzilla walks away completely unharmed.
and the way he blasted kong away like he was a baby was just great.
Did you see the skeleton in the one after that scene lol
The fact that so many of these characters were created after the release of the song is really a testament to the song and this collab. Good job guys, all of you!
This can be re-done every 5-10 years or so and be different every time. I hope the next iteration has BIONICLE in it!
I can't believe this song has lived rent free in my head for 15 years. I can still recite the Gandalf the grey bit from memory
HI CREEPS :D
What a coincidence I just was playing smash and listening to one of you're narrations.

@@mrbadwithnames4708 hell yeah, it was hilarious!
The fact half the video was the credits really shows how many people and how much care went into this project, amazing job!
I cried. Also the part with Snoopy fighting Scout in a horror game location goes extremely hard.
“The fight raged on for a century”
Also the child in the red sweater still being the same age while still holding an ice cream cone for century, wow…
I sure hope some got fired for that blunder.
He ages really well
And the ice cream that fell off the cone still in the exact same place when Mr Rogers guts lands on him

If you included seasons they haven't covered yet like Zenkaiger & Donbrothers, that'd just make the army bigger.
Not by too much, but bigger.
You're gonna need it to beat Chuck Norris.
LITERALLY FEELS LIKE A MOVIE!! EVERYONES PARTS WERE SO BREATHTAKINGLY DONE AND WELL ANIMATED!!!!!
its just question of time until someone decides to actually make a movie based on this music. theres a lot of copyright problems but i dont think it is something impossible to happen.
@@Ralzone kinda is
@@Ralzone and it wouldn’t work well as a movie. Maybe a full fledged remake with artists fully collaborating to making production at max.
@@Ralzone It would stop being funny if it was in a different format tbh
What I love about this is how much effort EVERYONE put into this. Nothing seems half assed, it all has so much effort in it for such a silly thing.
Wanted to say that the dude next to Samus in my part at 0:50 is Arnold Schwarzenegger circa C̶o̶l̶l̶a̶t̶e̶r̶a̶l̶ ̶D̶a̶m̶a̶g̶e̶ *Commando. Wanted a good guy comparable to the likes of Chuck Norris in the original.
That would actually be his character from Commando. Unless the movie's got several names?
@@Peusterokos1 You are 100% correct, I definitely just switched the C named Arnold movies there when I commented. Commando has the great one liners like "Blow off some steam, Bennett." and the rocket launcher when he storms that island mansion thing. All I really remember from Collateral Damage is him going, "Collateral damage?! I'll show you f@$%ing collateral damage!"
What do you mean by “wanted a good guy comparable to the likes of Chuck Norris in the original”? Also I loved your part of the vid btw.
@@fireblade696 Thanks and so my section was part of the chorus and I had free reign to animate whatever characters from pop culture that I wanted to because the lyrics weren't specific to anyone. It just needed to relate to good guys, bad guys, and explosions, as the song talks about.
The original song/animation had musical artists like Aaron Carter, fictional characters like Batman, and action movie stars like Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris. I wanted my picks for good guys and bad guys to not feel out of place and have that same range as the original. So there's Billie Eilish covering the music section, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the action movie star. Chuck Norris was a different kind of 80's action guy, but Arnold was definitely in that realm.
@@ColtenSeamans The choice to include Billie Eilish on the lyric "Bad Guy(s)" was genius, haha

Wasabi!
2:56 Love this part. So smooth
Agreed!
This is why I listen to this version
It really is, isn't it
Gotta say that part where Mr Roger's uh, unalives himself is very cinematic and really well animated. Particularly the part where he looks into his blade and sees what he's truly done. Although the black and white unaliving was also super cinema.
Are you not allowed to say kill? He killed himself.
@@superguy9834 we can't do any of that in this Christian minecraft server that is an inappropriate topic unbeliever

@@superguy9834 the deal is that some websites assume using words like kill means you're making death threats and it gets put on blocklists to cut down on that kind of thing
@@superguy9834 they’ve been on tiktok for too long. They’re beyond saving at this point
This is perfect. The inclusion of modern characters at least in the video/visuals was much needed to keep this relevant. I wonder what an updated lyrics version would be like.
3:24 is genuinely so fucking good, like the amount of effort that had to have gone into it is astounding
I absolutely LOVE whoever drew Billie Eilish at "good guys bad guys and explosions", you're brilliant.
Q
Oh my god I didn’t get that until you mentioned it
@@baristascallmewolfgang What time stamp?
@@seanlehning1542 0:50
Colten seamans drew that
I still love how Mr. Rogers is presumably stronger than every other being in existence, including Kirby, Goku, Ben Ten, Sonic, Saitama, Bayonetta, and essentially a billion other actual humans and original characters that span the entirety of both human imagination and levels of power. Is it the power of love? Course it is, but it's more so that Mr. Rogers had the most of it.
Also the fact that the Black Knight can survive being dismembered and still lost is hilarious. Kudos to the many artists that worked on this, it's a worthy successor to the OG vid!
During the time this was written it was a popular rumor that Mr. Rogers was an ex-army sniper with an insane kill count so I'd make sense since he's the only person here that actually killed people. Of course that turned out false but still
@@inspectorjavert9868 I mean, Bob Ross _was_ an ex drill sergeant, and he's practically renowned for bringing serenity to thousands through painting, so it's not entirely far-fetched a rumour.
This time he had help, though. Note the King Friday puppet.
@@vsgfilmgroup The 13th, too. Say you’re fighting against the duo. Bad luck is straight up trying to kill you, how do you beat that?
@@insertobligatoryreferenceh489 Given Jason Voorhees was already spotted in this video, that makes for a particularly strange question. King Friday together with Mister Rogers in a Blood Stained Sweater may be enough to take out the undead juggernaut.
2:29 I LOVE YOU BASED BRUCE OFF HIS BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES DESIGN! The square jaw and brown suit! I love it so much!
He looks like an emo kid lmfao
Sure, it's a nice reference, but don't look up the person who did that scene.

@@SPG69 I’m confused by your question, could you elaborate?
1:45 I love this part. The inclusion of Kong, Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah to go with Godzilla.
Hey, you’re that one Kaiju Universe TH-camr! No wonder you pointed this out!
they also made sure each had a unique expression on king ghidorah, being a reference to how each one had its own personality in KOMT in particular they gave the left head a carefree expression since he tended to be the most curious and relaxed of the three while the middle is the most aggressive and dominant

I love the little homages to the original video. Like the kid and his ice cream and the generic "bad guy" dead in a pile. I don't see LowTax in the background, though, which makes me sad.

the original was a huge part of my childhood ngl so when LemonyFresh passed earlier this year it was really sad. i’m so glad this got to be made for the anniversary and he got to be a part of it :’)

They even had the new ones like boyfriend from fnf
@@warpedmine9682 Isnt the bf the only Major new one?
It was sorely missing Hank.
I wish there was a better nod to castle Crashers
@@shadesleyer Honestly, Castle Crashers was a little bit later of an addition to most of the referred stuff here. AH, tankguy were part of the OG Newgrounds. CC was a later development, after initial commercial success of the site and some of Tom's projects. The people who were around for the originals are just of a different generation.
To refresh: The original song was released in 2005. Babies born at that time are 17 now. Almost old enough to drink a beer and drive a car in most of the world.
I'm very glad this piece of internet history is remembered even 15 year later. I remember watching the original video when it came out and loved every second of it

Love the touch of having the loading screen still... 10/10 remaking a classic. Well done everyone involved. Also, lovely tribute to LemonyFresh there. Great work.
This legitimately got me misty eyed. The original Ultimate Showdown was the first video I ever really fell in love with when the web was still new to me when I was younger. Being exposed to such raw creativity really showed me what was possible on the internet and also showed me really for the first time how many people loved all the same things I did. Bravo to everyone involved in this, and thank you 😊
I want an entire fighting game based solely off this song

Even almost a year later, seeing that dedication to LemonyFresh at the end makes me tear up. He was taken from us so early.
I love how all of the animation styles of different, but they fit so well together, it never feels abrupt when it changes
A reanimated collab where the artstyles blend together well without too abrasive or confusing a transition between them. There's seriously no part of this that I dislike.
A big Bravo!
My favourite parts are probably Billie Eilish as one of the "bad guys", the Hero and Dark chao fight and the bob-omb with all the explosives.
