The L is real 2401 myth is crazy because the Nintendo data leak where people discovered Luigi in the files of SM64 was 24 years and 1 month after the games release…
And yet the rumor is still based on nothing, that sign is also present in oot, the L is real bit is really just generic scribles that makes no sense and were used in multiple gams, Luigi may have been planned but L was never real because it was never a thing in the first place
I love how simple it is to debunk the L is real 2401, that being that the texture for the sign is also in Ocarina of Time (and probably Majora's mask as well).
Yeah, it took me quite a while to find some of those. Honestly it was a mixture of myths that I remember from when I was younger and sleuthing the internet to see what I could find. It was quite a long process lol
Correction on the Godzilla portion. Godzilla has never locked only to Tokyo (just happens that he's there fairly often). A great example is the opening of Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah which takes place in Hong Kong. It's a small error in an otherwise good video though.
That's really weird to me because Godzilla is meant to be the living embodiment of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima. I suppose overtime his original purpose was lost similar to characters like Jason Voorhees.
@@kitsunemusicisfire While Godzilla typically is that for most of his films that doesn't necessarily mean the character branching out into different directions is a bad thing. In fact I'd argue that the variety of tones and messages Godzilla has tackled is what has kept the character from being stale and "Flanderized" over the past 70 years.
"The devil has got into that beast" is probably a cheat code that didn't get fully implemented. You can find them all over the map in that scratched handwriting.
Oh man you don’t realize how much reading this made my day! Thank you so much! This was my first video in like 3 years, so I didn’t really expect it to get much traction, but I’m glad to know that my work didn’t go unnoticed! Thank you so much! More projects are on the way. :)
I think the most recent one's are the Mount Chiliad mystery in Grand Theft Auto 5, as well as the hidden switches in Just Cause 3, which are seemingly part of some easter egg, which wasn't implemented in the finished game.
this is a sick ass video. most videos of this type go over the typical myths, and when you started off with mario 64 i thought thats where this was going, but twisting it off into focusing on waluigi instead, and then exploring a ton of myths that are far less widely known, made for a really interesting watch
Nowadays instead of exciting "urban legends" for games that were unfalsifiable, we just have straight-up misinformation spread by people on the internet
@@fedyx1544No no, they're different. There's a difference between someone reading what looks to say 'L is real', thinking L means Luigi, and telling their friends next time they meet at the playground that there may be a secret way to unlock Luigi, genuinely believing it themselves, because they've SEEN the text. And the only way to find out is to try everything they can to see if they can't figure out how to unlock him... ...and someone just, lying on the internet, maybe doctoring an image, to get some internet clout or whatever, with the 'secret' they're spreading now easily debunked by just looking into the game files and seeing that the character model of the 'secret' character doesn't even exist TO be possibly real... if a dozen other people more proficient in cracking a game's files open doesn't do it first, allowing you to just look up their YT video debunking it.
@@chaoticsilver8442 most of the time people spreading "urban legends" before the internet were also completely making stuff up. They wouldn't talk about "L is real", they'd go on and on about how if you stand on this particular spot with this particular number of coins while making a handstand irl at 3 am then wario would come out the lava and become playable. It was, much like today, way more about trolling than about genuine myth hunting. So no, there wasn't a real difference.
@@fedyx1544 Perhaps there was trolling back in the day, sure, but, again- There was also the 'genuine myth hunting' as you call it. Today, you don't have that- There are no more 'L is real's, not like there used to be. The closest thing there is to that, is ARGs, and games that do genuinely go out of their way to hide little clues and details. But that's not quite the same either. People trying to piece together the lore of (insert Mascot Horror title here) today, aren't exactly doing the same as people trying to figure out how to unravel the mystery of how to unlock whatever secret character they could play back then.
My brother and I didn't really grow up in a golden age of gaming myths, but there were a few things. I remember that one time when we were in elementary school, my brother's friend told him that Shadow the Hedgehog and some other character (Cloud from FF, I think?) were unlockable in Smash Bros. Brawl. We did get the latter in the next game as DLC, at least. There was also some hoax about a secret ending in Cave Story that was really difficult to get. I think you had to beat the game on the hardest difficulty under a certain amount of time, or something? Needless to say, he was pretty upset when he finally pulled it off and nothing happened. I don't think I remember getting completely tricked by something and trying to do it, but I remember some speculation about Pokemon X and Y. First, there was how to get Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion, which had been found through datamining. The speculation wasn't about any obscure methods, but rather about special event items being handed out that you would need in order to find them. The one I particularly was about getting Volcanion. There's a part in the story where you need to get a special access card in order to enter a power plant in Route 13. There was one building you couldn't enter, though, and people started thinking there would be an access card handed out through an event that you could use to get in, and Volcanion was in there. Instead, they just sort of handed out all three in special events. That locked building still irks me. Fuck that thing. Also disappointed that the special Floette found through datamining was never given out in an event or available in a third version/sequel like some of us thought it would be. Maybe in Legends ZA? There was also a random ghost girl. If you went to a particular floor of a certain building in Lumiose City, the music would stop, a girl would appear behind you and then float ahead and say "No, you're not the one..." before vanishing. I think one theory I heard about that was that you needed to have a particular Trainer ID. It was just a random thing in the end, though, and in ORAS there's an identical girl who says the same thing. I guess the devs caught on to how much that little throwaway event bothered people and put it in to bother them even more lmao, they were so real for that.
The best channel for this used to be Game Trailers back when they did Pop Fiction. It was a great series that I will occasionally rewatch and for the time it was fairly thorough.
First off, fantastic videos you’ve put up! I just recently found your channel and I’ve been binge watching them. To add to the rumors and myths I remember back in like 2006 or 2007 (I was like 13 at the time) I fell in love with Fable the lost chapters and got obsessed with it for a good while, I remember looking for the strongest weapons in the game on forums and such and found something related to the Sandgoose? Which is a sword mentioned here and there in the game and I got OBSESSED about it, I found a super detailed guide to find it, and the chase covered from the very beginning of the game up to like one of the last sections of the game iirc, and it was something that you had to follow step by step, one missed step and you’re gonna have to begin a new save file, which I did… for like 8 tries, 8 individual save files which I completed, why did I believe this was real and was so stubborn about it? Well, I saw a video with the player wielding it… years of disappointment later I discovered it was a mod (I didn’t know what a mod was at the time).
I wouldn't say that they completely ruined the magic of video games, but I do agree that they have at least tarnished some of that child-like sense of wonder that you can get from playing video games.
Great video dude, massively underrated channel. The quality of your videos is as high as of some channels with million subs. You give me a great example to look up to! Thank you!!!
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, honestly. Found you from your most recent and most popular video, and I’ve been BINGING your videos ever since. Super high quality stuff dude, keep it up. Love that you’ve always got things that other channels that do things on similar topics haven’t mentioned
I’m from the U.K. and, correct me if I’m wrong fellow brits, but from what I understand PC gaming was bigger than console gaming here at certain points in the 80s and 90s, most people my dads age had commodores instead of the NES from who I’ve spoken to
i don't think he meant Hollywood as in the place in LA, i think he moreso just meant "movies" and the medium in general. like saying "silicon valley" when talking about computers, 9 times out of 10 they dont mean California.
So glad this popped up in the algorithm. Love it. Well done, man. Looks like an actual pro is behind this (which you're pulling off so well). Can't wait to see what's next. ❤
The funny thing about the extra door in Disney Castle for Kingdom Hearts 2 is that the Final Mix version did introduce a new portal in the area where the door to Timeless River is, but it is for the secret boss that is basically Terra's Armor with the skills of all 3 Birth By Sleep protagonists.
Everything you said about Red Dead 1 explains why I adore that game so much. Wasn't even remotely interested in Westerns before playing that. Since, I've gone back to watch a lot of Westerns
As someone who fell for the Waluigi trick, I also want to add, another reason people thought it was real was because the game's logo had four colors- yellow, red, green and... blue. Yeah I know Waluigi isn't BLUE but I guess people figured it was close enough, it meant "something" if the other colors could be associated with characters. Surprised you didn't mention anything about the crazy rumors about HOW to unlock Waluigi. God, the black box in front of the castle on the file select screen...
I gotta say, Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda game,but Twilight Princess is a very close second in terms of traditional Zelda, Twilight Princess was actually my brother's first Zelda,and I think that's awesome. Great video man!
I just found your channel, your videos are really well put-together and informative! You deserve a lot more attention for sure, thanks for making excellent content!
The KHII one made me remember how getting the Final Form worked. I couldn't believe it was a one-time RNG-dependent counter with Roxas (sounds so mythical, if you ask me). I didn't find out about such form until much later and so had to go for the boring way of getting it, through the coliseum.
there are actually "ghosts" in tumbleweed. in the first game, invisible NPCs spawn in the basement of the mansion (at least on the 360 version) and John can interact with them.
I remember reading that the San Andreas myth started because of a misunderstanding. There was a small chance that a glitch would place a destroyed Bigfoot vehicle up in the hills. It sounds more realistic than a hairy cryptid.
Mario 64 ds wasn't a remake, it's a remaster since it uses the old game as a base. From the ground up means not using anything from the original outside of the idea, but the game 100% uses code from 64, new textures, new levels and updated sound still makes it a remaster since it is updating an old product instead of making its own thing.
When you started talking about mythical creatures in RDR2 I thought for sure you were going to bring up the "unicorns" that you can make with the tommahawk dlc.
Dude, this was an incredible video. I was watching PBG fullscreen while doing the dishes, and then the algorithm put this on. And... I dunno, maybe I'm just in the perfect frame of mind for this kind of video, about 45 minutes into a gummy. But this was just such an absolute delight to watch from start to finish! With the script, editing, and everything, I watched the entire thing while finishing the dishes, all the while thinking, "Wait, who uploaded this? Don't think it's anyone from my subscriptions... they've got to have like, 200k subs though." This was honestly probably the most engaging and enjoyable videos I've watched in this entire year so far. I've never actually played Sleeping Dogs or RDR 1/2 before (stubborn diehard Nintendo console kid, lol!), so I went into those sections thinking I'd be a little lost. But the way you introduce and dive into so much loving detail about what have made these games timeless and engaging has just absolutely piqued my interest in finally checking them out like basically nothing else I've seen. And I'm also thinking about that dusty Wii U still in my TV stand now, with my 3rd attempt at TP HD saved... somewhere between the Goron Mines and Lakebed Temple, I'm pretty sure. It's calling to me to finally get back into it and see how it holds up against my old favorites OoT and MM! I think the playground rumor that stuck with me the most is one I haven't seen talked around too much: in Super Mario Sunshine, with a specific, super-secret button combination you can execute on the Airstrip, you can play the whole game as Peach, complete with you having to rescue Mario from his own shadow! ...honestly, kinda hard to believe I bought into that one enough to try every combo I could think of, but ehh, Eric from 4th grade was pretty damn convincing with his accounts of it. Anyway, don't wanna ramble more than I already have (this might be the first non-shitpost comment I've written in months now lol)... just wanted to say a huge thanks for making this -- really taken me down a sweet little memory lane I kinda forgot about for years, and given me new ideas on games I might really have a blast playing. Can't wait to watch the rest of your stuff!
I was that liar back then who claimed “I saw Big Foot in San Andreas!!” Also, as someone who 100% completed Twilight Princess (on the Wii only as I never had the Wii-U), I seriously thought I could eventually enter Fado’s house. I thought “heart piece” or some special bomb or armor. However, after knowing I scoured every corner and moon, completed every single mini-game, got every single poe and heart piece and fish and fishing lures and etc, I realized it was never the case.
Adding an imaginary s to an author’s name while taking a shot at their grammar was pretty funny. Anyway, good video. I appreciate the audio quality and your sense of humor. Also Windwaker is goated
I'm giggling because a lot of the sources for video game myths in fact came from the internet via edited screenshots like San Andreas bigfoot and Sonic being in Melee. That stuff got filtered TO the schoolyard.
And the funny thing about summoning Mickey in KH2? There WAS supposed to be a 5th summon! It was just Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, but were cut for time. At least they got to appear in KH3.
Could you imagine if, by chance, a museum curator or something decides n the year 2401 decides to boot up Mario 64, and there it's is, Luigi in all his neurotic glory.
I can vividly remember the first video game myth I ever heard; the t-shirt I wore, which of my friends I was talking with, the red brick wall of the school building we stood next to, and the four magical words: Mew Under The Truck
Luigi is never even MENTIONED in Super Mario 64. Nowhere in the finished game does he appear even in the text boxes. Santa Claus appears in a textbox but not Luigi.
ohhh it’s so cool to hear about sleeping dogs!! it’s one of my dad’s favorite games and he talks about it a lot. despite this i’ve never actually seen gameplay of it before. it’s not usually the kind of game i go for (although i do like a good action game), but i might have to play it for myself :)
There is nowhere else i can talk about this so i will put this here. There is a myth surrounding Fallout76 that, sometimes when you enter the mental hospital with no other players alongside, very, very rarely a NPC named "Crazed Settler" will run towards you and fade away as he approaches. Now, one could say that it is just 76 being buggy as always but i dunno, i like to believe this is a real thing that has happened.
Interesting to see KH2 here. As a hardcore fan of the series I never heard about this rumor. But I can remember the rumor for KH1. That Disney Castel is an unlockable world in the Final Mix version, sadly not true. But we did see it in KH2, so all well that ends well
I had a friend in elementary school that would make shit up about games Except the smartest thing she did when lieing straight to my trusting, 9/10-year-old face was she only made things up about games i didnt own and never played I believed her for years, and honestly looking back, the things she made up about the sims and Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands were... kinda violent
really good video! kept my interest the entire time on the topic of the ghost lady in rdr: couldn't people just look into the game files to see if the ghost lady has a model in there? (or something like that). that would probably solve the legend
I'd like to share a lesser known myth from one of my favorite games, Twisted Metal 4. I bring to you, Crystal Minion. From a forum post from 2005: "To Get Crystal Minion, you have to complete the game with Micoblast on hard 10 times using no cheats at all. After, go to the Tournament or Deathmatch and Crystal Minion should be between Mr.Zombie and Sweet Tooth(get Sweet Tooth and other bosses buy beating the game).Stats can only go up to five stars right, well Crystal Minion seems like he has 8 stars at everthing. His special throws 4 Serpents, 1 Henchmen, and 8 of Moon Buggys special." This is wrong, with two specific reasons as to why it probably would be wrong. Tournament mode has no hard mode, rather the difficulty level progressively ticks up as you beat a level with a specific character, incrementing up to somewhere in the mid 200s. Completing the game at the hardest level 10 times with Microblast (commonly regarded as the worst character in the game) would be incredibly difficult, and require either a gameshark or a LOT of time and patience. Secondly, his special weapon is so comically absurd that it would probably slow the game to a crawl if not crash it if you fired it once. Serpents are 4 powerful homing missiles and a freeze missile. Henchmen are a group of floating heads that fly towards an enemy shooting lightning, fire, and missiles, and one henchman special is powerful enough to kill most enemies. And Moon Buggy's special (the quasars) are 3 flying balls of lightning that fly around you, tether to you, and fling you around like a baby with a rattle. All three weapons are powerful on their own, if you've played the game you'd know exactly how much overkill this is. It would be like trying to kill a spider with the Tsar Bomba.
As a big Kingdom Hearts fan who often looked KH stuff on YT back in the day (Lucky Star KH anyone remember that?). I'm shocked i never ran across that rumor.

The Spongebob point and click game OST at 0:09 sent me to a tidal wave of nostalgia i wasn't ready for
Also, great vid! Earned yourself a sub
The funny thing about the extra door in Disney Castle for Kingdom Hearts 2 is that the Final Mix version did introduce a new portal in the area where the door to Timeless River is, but it is for the secret boss that is basically Terra's Armor with the skills of all 3 Birth By Sleep protagonists.
Everything you said about Red Dead 1 explains why I adore that game so much.
Wasn't even remotely interested in Westerns before playing that. Since, I've gone back to watch a lot of Westerns
As someone who fell for the Waluigi trick, I also want to add, another reason people thought it was real was because the game's logo had four colors- yellow, red, green and... blue. Yeah I know Waluigi isn't BLUE but I guess people figured it was close enough, it meant "something" if the other colors could be associated with characters.
Surprised you didn't mention anything about the crazy rumors about HOW to unlock Waluigi. God, the black box in front of the castle on the file select screen...
I gotta say, Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda game,but Twilight Princess is a very close second in terms of traditional Zelda, Twilight Princess was actually my brother's first Zelda,and I think that's awesome. Great video man!

I just found your channel, your videos are really well put-together and informative! You deserve a lot more attention for sure, thanks for making excellent content!
The KHII one made me remember how getting the Final Form worked. I couldn't believe it was a one-time RNG-dependent counter with Roxas (sounds so mythical, if you ask me). I didn't find out about such form until much later and so had to go for the boring way of getting it, through the coliseum.
Seven and a half minutes to get to the first myth is craaaazy
Funny enough that cutscene you unlock for completing the journal is a teaser for birth by sleep which has a mickey D-link.
i can never regain the many hours lost obsessively trying to unlock waluigi in sm64ds before i realized it was fake
there are actually "ghosts" in tumbleweed. in the first game, invisible NPCs spawn in the basement of the mansion (at least on the 360 version) and John can interact with them.
I remember reading that the San Andreas myth started because of a misunderstanding.
There was a small chance that a glitch would place a destroyed Bigfoot vehicle up in the hills. It sounds more realistic than a hairy cryptid.
Extra myth: Fallout 4 did not disappoint. I will never let you live that down and remind you of that stupid thing you said at every opportunity.
Fallout 4 was shit and if you disagree you, also, are shit
Perfectly done! ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support! :)
Mario 64 ds wasn't a remake, it's a remaster since it uses the old game as a base.
From the ground up means not using anything from the original outside of the idea, but the game 100% uses code from 64, new textures, new levels and updated sound still makes it a remaster since it is updating an old product instead of making its own thing.
You introduced Godzilla, but we knew what you were talking about before you named him.
When you started talking about mythical creatures in RDR2 I thought for sure you were going to bring up the "unicorns" that you can make with the tommahawk dlc.
Dude, this was an incredible video.
I was watching PBG fullscreen while doing the dishes, and then the algorithm put this on. And... I dunno, maybe I'm just in the perfect frame of mind for this kind of video, about 45 minutes into a gummy. But this was just such an absolute delight to watch from start to finish!
With the script, editing, and everything, I watched the entire thing while finishing the dishes, all the while thinking, "Wait, who uploaded this? Don't think it's anyone from my subscriptions... they've got to have like, 200k subs though." This was honestly probably the most engaging and enjoyable videos I've watched in this entire year so far.
I've never actually played Sleeping Dogs or RDR 1/2 before (stubborn diehard Nintendo console kid, lol!), so I went into those sections thinking I'd be a little lost. But the way you introduce and dive into so much loving detail about what have made these games timeless and engaging has just absolutely piqued my interest in finally checking them out like basically nothing else I've seen. And I'm also thinking about that dusty Wii U still in my TV stand now, with my 3rd attempt at TP HD saved... somewhere between the Goron Mines and Lakebed Temple, I'm pretty sure. It's calling to me to finally get back into it and see how it holds up against my old favorites OoT and MM!
I think the playground rumor that stuck with me the most is one I haven't seen talked around too much: in Super Mario Sunshine, with a specific, super-secret button combination you can execute on the Airstrip, you can play the whole game as Peach, complete with you having to rescue Mario from his own shadow! ...honestly, kinda hard to believe I bought into that one enough to try every combo I could think of, but ehh, Eric from 4th grade was pretty damn convincing with his accounts of it.
Anyway, don't wanna ramble more than I already have (this might be the first non-shitpost comment I've written in months now lol)... just wanted to say a huge thanks for making this -- really taken me down a sweet little memory lane I kinda forgot about for years, and given me new ideas on games I might really have a blast playing.
Can't wait to watch the rest of your stuff!
I was that liar back then who claimed “I saw Big Foot in San Andreas!!”
Also, as someone who 100% completed Twilight Princess (on the Wii only as I never had the Wii-U), I seriously thought I could eventually enter Fado’s house. I thought “heart piece” or some special bomb or armor. However, after knowing I scoured every corner and moon, completed every single mini-game, got every single poe and heart piece and fish and fishing lures and etc, I realized it was never the case.
Adding an imaginary s to an author’s name while taking a shot at their grammar was pretty funny.
Anyway, good video. I appreciate the audio quality and your sense of humor. Also Windwaker is goated
I'm giggling because a lot of the sources for video game myths in fact came from the internet via edited screenshots like San Andreas bigfoot and Sonic being in Melee. That stuff got filtered TO the schoolyard.
Crazy to hear Bob the Tomato talking about super Mario 64
I didn't know you could save Sora as Mickey if he died :o
Hey man, I really enjoy your videos. Please keep doing what you're doing
Gotta love that L was real the entire time and that kid on the playground was still lying!
And the funny thing about summoning Mickey in KH2? There WAS supposed to be a 5th summon! It was just Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, but were cut for time. At least they got to appear in KH3.
It's the first time i ever heard about Godzilla in Sleeping Dogs
This is an underrated channel
_I need a playlist of the music you used in this, cuz I SWEAR that first song is from a PC Spongebob game._
_IT IS, AND I PLAYED IT! Ahahahha, nice._
Could you imagine if, by chance, a museum curator or something decides n the year 2401 decides to boot up Mario 64, and there it's is, Luigi in all his neurotic glory.
the reason why waluigi aint complex...
mario, luigi, wario, waluigi
I can vividly remember the first video game myth I ever heard; the t-shirt I wore, which of my friends I was talking with, the red brick wall of the school building we stood next to, and the four magical words:
Mew
Under
The
Truck
A gaming channel that isn't busy enough to say to hug your mother every day. This dude is alright.
The tumbleweed mansion myth was just npcs spawning in a unreachable room
Side note you can sometimes see clipping of the npcs
>Mentions San Andreas
>Used the "Definitive Edition" for footage
Can’t believe you didn’t touch on call of duty zombies at all. Those “Golden Ray Gun”, “how to get ray gun every box spin” videos were classics
great videos so far, really enjoy the editing
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a RAYMAN cough
“Hollywood’s most endearing movie monsters”
Lol, Lmao even
Luigi is never even MENTIONED in Super Mario 64. Nowhere in the finished game does he appear even in the text boxes.
Santa Claus appears in a textbox but not Luigi.
You deserve more subs bro, keep up the good work
The white door is just a star
A fellow pork bun enjoyer. You have gained my like and subscribe
ohhh it’s so cool to hear about sleeping dogs!! it’s one of my dad’s favorite games and he talks about it a lot. despite this i’ve never actually seen gameplay of it before. it’s not usually the kind of game i go for (although i do like a good action game), but i might have to play it for myself :)
10:04 SUNSET OVERDRIVE MENTIONED PEAK VIDEO SPOTTED
Well in 64 they used to say that you could even unlock Yoshi lol
There is nowhere else i can talk about this so i will put this here. There is a myth surrounding Fallout76 that, sometimes when you enter the mental hospital with no other players alongside, very, very rarely a NPC named "Crazed Settler" will run towards you and fade away as he approaches. Now, one could say that it is just 76 being buggy as always but i dunno, i like to believe this is a real thing that has happened.
Sleeping dogs really deserves more love
great job man,your 43rd subscriber is here
Aww shucks, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Sleeping Dogs is one of my top 5 games it’s the only game I’ve played multiple times just to enjoy it
No mention of Miyamoto’s famous Bowser room or the Crash Bandicoot cheat to fly around the world?
Interesting to see KH2 here. As a hardcore fan of the series I never heard about this rumor. But I can remember the rumor for KH1. That Disney Castel is an unlockable world in the Final Mix version, sadly not true. But we did see it in KH2, so all well that ends well
I had a friend in elementary school that would make shit up about games
Except the smartest thing she did when lieing straight to my trusting, 9/10-year-old face was she only made things up about games i didnt own and never played
I believed her for years, and honestly looking back, the things she made up about the sims and Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands were... kinda violent
this was fun hitting the like
Thank you so much for the like! I hope you enjoy the rest of the content that's on the way :)
really good video! kept my interest the entire time
on the topic of the ghost lady in rdr: couldn't people just look into the game files to see if the ghost lady has a model in there? (or something like that). that would probably solve the legend
I'd like to share a lesser known myth from one of my favorite games, Twisted Metal 4. I bring to you, Crystal Minion.
From a forum post from 2005:
"To Get Crystal Minion, you have to complete the game with Micoblast on hard 10 times using no cheats at all. After, go to the Tournament or Deathmatch and Crystal Minion should be between Mr.Zombie and Sweet Tooth(get Sweet Tooth and other bosses buy beating the game).Stats can only go up to five stars right, well Crystal Minion seems like he has 8 stars at everthing. His special throws 4 Serpents, 1 Henchmen, and 8 of Moon Buggys special."
This is wrong, with two specific reasons as to why it probably would be wrong.
Tournament mode has no hard mode, rather the difficulty level progressively ticks up as you beat a level with a specific character, incrementing up to somewhere in the mid 200s. Completing the game at the hardest level 10 times with Microblast (commonly regarded as the worst character in the game) would be incredibly difficult, and require either a gameshark or a LOT of time and patience.
Secondly, his special weapon is so comically absurd that it would probably slow the game to a crawl if not crash it if you fired it once. Serpents are 4 powerful homing missiles and a freeze missile. Henchmen are a group of floating heads that fly towards an enemy shooting lightning, fire, and missiles, and one henchman special is powerful enough to kill most enemies. And Moon Buggy's special (the quasars) are 3 flying balls of lightning that fly around you, tether to you, and fling you around like a baby with a rattle. All three weapons are powerful on their own, if you've played the game you'd know exactly how much overkill this is. It would be like trying to kill a spider with the Tsar Bomba.
As a big Kingdom Hearts fan who often looked KH stuff on YT back in the day (Lucky Star KH anyone remember that?). I'm shocked i never ran across that rumor.
23:45 probably one of the apocalypse horses
Why do you not have more subs? Insane good content here.
Wow he evolved the top ten list
What’s the song you played for the beginning of the red dead redemption segment?
So sorry about the late response! It's "American Venom" from Red Dead Redemption 2. That soundtrack is the chef's kiss
calling earthworm jim bad is crazy
"At least GTA 6 will be out by then."
But probably not The Elder Scrolls 6.
