breath of the Wild's Master cycle zero which was subsequently added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bringing this whole story full circle in German the master cycle is named eponator pulled from Link's horse Epona in Mario Kart Wii when playing in multiplayer the question marks in the item boxes spin around within the box they're static in single player mode Mario Kart Wii is the only game in the Mario Kart Series where the drivers do not vocally react to getting Inked by a blooper there is a Mario Kart Wii course named Galaxy Coliseum which was exclusive to online tournaments Donkey Kong Jr is only playable in two Mario Kart games super and tour he was found however in an early build of double Dash's character select screen according to Elon Musk a Mario Kart game that had been played on Tesla vehicles was proposed to Nintendo but Nintendo didn't give them the license in Mario Kart Double Dash's code there are references to a reverse cup which may have had courses played backwards this wouldn't be possible until Mario kartor which had reverse variations of its courses the top two best-selling games on the GameCube are Super Smash Brothers Melee and Mario Kart Double Dash and these games development might be more intertwined than you think the melee models of Mario and Luigi were used during development as seen in this trailer Mario Kart DS was the first Mario game that used Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection up until Mario Kart Wii all Races would have eight Racers but starting with Mario Kart Wii that number was bumped up to 12. then back down to 8 in Mario Kart 7 and now back up to 12 in Mario Kart 8. there's a glitch in Mario Kart 64's choco Mountain that literally lets you go around the finish line pole back over the finish line and then counts it as a lap this glitch makes use of invisible checkpoints that tell the game where you are in a lap Mario Kart 64's MooMoo Farm is called Momo Farm in Japan because that's the sound associated with cows in Japan Mario Kart Wii was the first game to introduce bikes villager girl is just a pallet swap in Mario Kart 8 but in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe she gets her own character slot Mario Luigi Peach Toad Yoshi and Bowser are the only six characters to appear in each Mainline game a promotional deal between Nintendo and Mercedes-Benz led to three Mercedes cars being added as DLC vehicles in Mario Kart 8. the Mario Kart 8 DLC track excitebike Arena has randomly generated ramps and Hazards each race this is a callback to the original excitebike on the NES which did this as well everybody knows that the escalators on Coconut Mall each Go in different directions but did you know that there's a nearby pianta pointing to the one that's going up speaking of pianta's coconut mall is apparently on Isle Delfina according to the official Mario Kart Wii game guide published by Prima the giant statue of Mario and DK Summit will be replaced as a me if you're playing as a me character unfortunately this doesn't explain why it's not a statue of DK in the first place the f-zero announcer yells yeah the final lap as you head into the final lap of big blue but not mute City in Mario Kart 8. waluigi's pinball isn't just a track but it's also the name of the tennis court in Mario Sports Mix while Hyrule circuit Animal Crossing and urchin underpass all have unique item roulette sounds based off their series while Luigi's pinball is the only original course to have one there was a scrapped mission mode for Mario Kart Wii the new courses in Mario Kart 7 had the new logo as the starting line Banner while the Retro tracks have the classic logo Mario Kart 64 isn't the 64th Mario Kart game it's actually only the second the original gimmick for Mario Kart 8 was supposed to be a drill that allowed players to drive through the Earth once they decided to use anti-gravity as the game's gimmick they were inspired by the way tops hit each other and gained speed kinda like Beyblades in Mario Kart Wii Peach wears her hair down in the opening cutscene and in a ponytail we'll race them Mario Kart DS and Tor are the only two games in which lack 2 doesn't start the race the worst selling Mario Kart game has still sold almost double the best-selling Fire Emblem game both of these games were developed by intelligent systems miraculously this isn't the first time Fire Emblem and Mario Kart's paths have crossed pre-orders for Mario Kart Double Dash came with a bonus disc containing playable demos game trailers and even extra transferable content for Fire Emblem on the GBA Mario Kart 64's beta name was Mario Kart r the special cup in the Chinese IQ Player version of Mario Kart 64 is called the IQ cup you know the trick at the start of a race where you press a right as the two starts to fade on the screen well that started in Mario Kart DS Mario Kart DS was also the only game in the series to have a mission mode there was also a battle course in Mario Kart DS that was in the shape of a DS similarly in Mario Kart Double Dash there was also a battle course in the shape of a GameCube snaking was a technique popular among Mario Kart Pros that allowed players to chain mini turbos on straightaways this has since become obsolete in recent games because it has been made harder to gain mini turbos without turning corners another technique for Mario Kart 8 called fire hopping allowed players to extend the length of their Boost from mushrooms ramps Etc by hopping back and forth right after gaining the Boost this was patched out in the switchboard Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in the demo version of Mario Kart 8 Twisted Mansion was called Blue House Mario Kart 8 is by far the most unlockable characters that number being 14. honeybee was a playable character in Mario Kart 7 for some reason speaking of Mario Kart 7 all the starting characters in that game were the same as in Super Mario Kart except for the fact that Donkey Kong replaces Donkey Kong Jr the playable lack 2 has a red shell while the Lac 2 who runs the races has a grain shell the only unlockable character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is gold Mario who can be unlocked by winning all 12 200 cc cups all the different translations of Maple Tree Way roughly translate to Maple Tree Way wigglers Woods or something similar makes sense however the French Nintendo of America translator translates to road to the sugar shaft which begs the question what the hell is a Sugar Shack Mario Kart 8 uses tracks for battle mode instead of having dedicated battle courses if you win all the cups in both mirror mode and 200cc you'll unlock special opening intros for Mario Kart 8. my favorite would have to be this one if a blooper is used while you're using a piranha plant the piranha plant will actually eat the blooper if you honk your horn at other racers in Mario Kart 8 you can actually see them jump in their seats the blue shell is actually called the spiny shell spiny shell was created from Mario Kart 64 to keep players spread out so the game could run more smoothly upon starting the game Mario says Yahoo on the Nintendo logo screen for Mario Kart DS when playing on the original DS on the dslite DSi 3DS and Virtual Console he says here we go if you mash the L button while getting an item the spinning animation will speed up and give you your item quicker which is crazy since I never knew that until researching for this video the Monty moles and MooMoo Farm on Mario Kart 64 aren't actually Monty moles they're referred to in the instruction manual as Chubbies Mario Golf super rush reuses Pauline in King babam's voice clips from Mario Kart tour although Pac-Man is not a full character in Mario Kart 8 he's available as a playable Me costume through amiibos in 2019 Hot Wheels released Mario Kart themed cars Mario Kart Double bash can theoretically have 16 player land multiplayer if you have 8 GameCubes and two players connected to each system the beta version of the SNES rainbow road was originally much narrower and finally the original idea for Mario Kart didn't even have Mario in it it was originally just a guy with overalls and a helmet holding a banana Miyamoto was impressed but thought the game seemed a little Bland so he told the developers to focus on the banana that led them to think about Donkey Kong which in turn brought Mario characters to the game [Music] [Applause] ride on was the first Pokemon ever designed Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth are supposed to be opposing forces in the anime but the Rivalry goes even deeper Pikachu's Pokedex number is 25 and Meowth is 52. Pikachu is also technically a mouse and Meowth is a cat their bad blood runs deep all these Pokemon games have an 87 on Metacritic but the best game in the series sits alone at 88. that's Pokemon Y why why this I have no clue the worst entry not counting spin-offs is Pokemon shining Pearl at 73. counting spin-offs it's not even close the worst entry is undoubtedly Pokemon Rumble rush sitting at a cold 42. wanna play Rumble Rush well you can't it was shut down on July 22nd 2020. flabebe is the shortest Pokemon coming in at only 10 centimeters the first episode of the anime Pokemon I Choose You there's a scene where Spiro chases down Pikachu the Hunt is seen from the eyes of the Spiro and is in black and white so sparrows are colorblind Pokemon Stadium's Electabuzz has six fingers on each hand this was probably a mistake because he only has five in every other appearance Cosmo is apparently only 0.1 meters in height yet weighs an insane 999.9 kilograms his name in Japan is Satoshi reportedly named after the creator of Pokemon Satoshi Tajiri Ash's rival Gary is also named after Satoshi tajiri's real-life rival Shigeru serving from the one and only Shigeru Miyamoto in Pokemon Ruby magikarp's Pokedex entry calls it a pathetic excuse for a Pokemon in 2000 magician Yuri Geller sued the Pokemon trading card company for 80 million dollars for using the Pokemon Kadabra claiming they infringed on his identity a cadaver card has not been issued since Pokemon is a portmanteau of Pocket Monsters the ferry was originally going to be Pokemon's mascot before Pikachu was ultimately chosen the 38 of the first season of Pokemon anime titled electric Soldier Porygon a series of flashing lights in the final few minutes of the episode left over 600 children in Japan with epileptic seizures luckily none were seriously injured but still this is a pretty scary fact nonetheless in monchan and Hitmonlee are inspired by the martial artist Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee they were also named after famous martial artists in Japan so Amura and ibihara being Sawa mular and Evie woolar respectively there's a Pokemon Gold and Silver demo that included many cut beta Pokemon that might have been in the game of the three starters in it only Chikorita made it into the game betas in red and Blue's beta coughing and wheezing were named Nai and LA in reference to New York and Los Angeles pollution Mew is added to Pokemon red and green at the very last minute without permission from the higher-ups The Story Goes that the development was wrapping up in developers had just a few more bites fit in a secret Pokemon they released the game in the Restless history the first mythical Pokemon was born rumors then spread quickly of the secret Pokemon only obtainable via cheats or Easter eggs the most famous of all of these was that you had to obtain Mew under the truck in Vermillion City which turned out to be very false [Music] because of Mew Pokemon started introducing mythical Pokemon available at special promotional events at places like conventions at GameStop the master ball has only been used once in the Pokemon anime being used in C7 episode 35 whiz cash and Ash in it a fisherman tries to catch a wiz cache using the master ball but surprisingly the wizkash actually eats it making the only time the master ball has ever failed to catch a Pokemon the furthest back you can transfer a Pokemon is from gen 3. this is because the jump from Gen 2 to gen 3 included massive overhauled Pokemon moves and IVs which made transferring them nearly impossible there is an unused Safari Zone in Pokemon Gold and Silver that can only be explored using glitches there was a proposed Pokemon based on Dolly the Clone sheet but it was ultimately removed from being too controversial everyone knows that I can spell backwards at snake but did you know that Rotom spell backwards is motor you probably know the legendary birds names are based off the Spanish numbers uno dos price but did you know that hydrogon's Evolution line is actually based on the German numbers in zween and Dre before officially being announced in the west many people thought that Merrell's real name was peekaboo due to its mouse-like features and the fact that it's blue each Pokemon region is based on a real-life location the first four are based on locations in Japan Unova is based on New York Palace is based on France Lola is Hawaii dollar is Great Britain and paldea is Spain polyworld swirls are actually based on the transparent underbellies of tadpoles that show their intestines 95 of

unsubscribe at any point the rarest Pokemon you can find is a shiny spindo with identical spots is another Spinda the chances of finding an identical Spinda is about 1 in 4 billion and multiplying that by the shiny odds in gen 3 that comes out to be 1 in 32 trillion 768 billion the zp tb7 cancer causing Gene was originally named Pokemon the Pokemon company was obviously not thrilled with this and they threatened legal action and it was quickly changed uh-oh appears in the very first episode of the Pokemon anime even though gold and silver hadn't been released at that time there are only 52 ice type Pokemon making it the rarest type in the series on the opposite side of the spectrum water type is the most abundant Pokemon typing 146. season 6 episode 16 of Adventure Time a Pokeball can be seen in Jake's mom's weapon room a game idea extremely similar to Pokemon go was actually Google Maps April Fool's joke in 2014. Niantic Labs split from Google in 2015 seems extremely likely that this April Fool stroke actually ended up being the prototype to what would become Pokemon go Pokemon Puzzle league is the only Pokemon game to be released in the west but not in Japan can actually fish in the ride on statues inside of Pokemon gyms in Pokemon [Music] mag cargo is 18 000 degrees Fahrenheit which is roughly two times the surface of the Sun makes sense to me psychic types are weak against Ghost bug and dark types because they're common fears the Pokemon on slowbro's tail is actually a shelter even though they look nothing like a shelter the rarest Pokemon card is the illustrator Pikachu card was word to the winners of an art contest and only 39 are known to exist YouTuber Logan Paul bought a PSA 10 illustrator Pikachu in 2022 for over 5 million dollars and even wore it around his neck while entering a WWE fight Pokemon red and green were released in Japan in 1998 with a blue version coming out a couple months later with improved graphics and dialogue this version was actually used as a template for all International audiences Michelle on Paris is actually a parasite and when Paris evolves the parasite actually takes over paris's body and controls the new Parasect according to the Pokedex drifloons trick children to thinking the real balloons to get them to hold on to them once they are the drifloons float away and steal the children wobbuffet's body is actually a decoy in the little tail guy in the back is actually the real wob of that seven is the first generation to introduce Ultra beasts which are not legendary Pokemon however the game's code essentially recognizes them as legendaries despite their great power ultra beasts are just typical Pokemon in the dimensions they come from they're about as rare as rattatas and pidgeys in our own Pokemon Universe of ultra beasts this is what their theme sounds like reversed [Music] Shiny Pokemon were introduced in Gent 2 but you could actually catch shiny Pokemon in gen 1. let me explain in Gen 2 Shiny Pokemon are determined by their IVs if the Pokemon new cotton gen 1 has the required IVs and is traded to a Gen 2 game it will magically appear shiny in your game piggybacking off that last fact because shinies were based on their IVs in Gen 2 the only unknown Pokemon that were able to be shiny or coincidentally I and V this fact blows my mind if a Charmander Charmeleon or Charizard lose their tail flame they will actually die cran is arguably the most resistant Pokemon ever having four single resistances five double resistances and an immunity they made Pikachu less fat in the new games and media and while that may not be the most interesting fact it sure is the saddest look how cute this Pikachu is in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl there's an exploit using bi-barrel they'll take you out of bounds where you can access the mythical Pokemon Shaymin without Oak's letter Quest even funnier however is the fact that the developers didn't even patch this out when Pokemon brilliant Diamond shining Pearl launched and decades later you could still use this exact same glitch electross is the only Pokemon that currently takes no super effective damage while Electric types usually are weak to ground moves electros has the ability to left tape which makes it immune despite trading cards being a central part of the Pokemon franchise Nintendo's only released one Pokemon amiibo card being Shadow Mewtwo for pokken tournaments console release because Pokemon REM blue didn't have breathing as a mechanic Nitto King and Nidoqueen are the only Pokemon from that generation to have genders which explains why they strangely have separate Pokemon images Pikachu means sparkly Mouse in English while you're probably mispronouncing many Pokemon's names anyways a very confusing name is mankind many people wonder if it's pronounced Mantine for Manta and Marine or mankind or Manta and brine however this is especially confusing when the name is pronounced both ways in anime in 2014 a stream called Twitch Plays Pokemon went live that allowed viewers to control the game through button commands in chat the stream quickly Rose in popularity peaking at 121 000 viewers and they actually beat the game in just 16 days when turning on a Game Boy Color or a Game Boy Advance you can actually change the screen to various different colors by pressing combinations with the d-pad with A and B even cooler if you do this while booting up Pokemon Red and make the screen black you can easily travel through the Rock Tunnel without having to use flash while Sudowoodo looks like a tree it's actually a rock type Pokemon that hides amongst the trees to avoid attack Drowzee is actually based on the real animal tape here which are believed to ward off nightmares according to Japanese folklore the move Splash is actually a mistranslation of hop this is why spoink and hoppip seem to always be splashing this also relates back to Magikarp whose signature moves Splash or really hop is based on the Chinese legend that a carp that can jump over a waterfall will become a powerful Dragon because chat out can recite audio it hears from humans in Pokemon diamond it can use the move chatter where it will repeat audio previously recorded on the DS's microphone the louder the recording the higher chance the target becomes confused but this feature was removed in Pokemon X and Y so the target would always become confused Star Wars and even emails there's a theory that Gengar is actually clefable shadow this is because the body shaped match and Gengar is referred to as the Shadow Pokemon pokedex many believe the game boy micro is a Nintendo's smallest system ever but in 2001 Nintendo released the Pokemon mini a fully functional handheld with interchangeable cartridges with a size comparable to Tamagotchi a Nintendo Home console can be seen in the main character's bedroom at the beginning of every game in the Pokemon series Pokemon Crystal could connect to cell phones in Japan to collect special items Pokemon and even battle online all the way back in 2001. in gen 1 there was a 1 in 255 chance that a master ball would actually fail Gen 5 introduced the most pokemon out of any other generation with 156. while the odds of this happening are very rare it is sometimes possible to encounter an uncatchable Shiny Pokemon for instance Wally's Waltz in Pokemon Ruby the Starly you battle in Pokemon Diamond and Professor Minccino she introduces to you in Pokemon Black all have the standard odds of being shiny harmonite was a rhythm-based eShop exclusive game for the 3DS developed by game free because of their involvement you can actually see hot air balloons with Pikachu and Pokemon designs in the background of some levels ink can be evolved by hitting level 30 while your system is upside down Arceus will change colors based on which type form it takes on however arceus's name will also change based on the type if it hasn't been given a custom name many players use this to their advantage for instance a player might name his War type Arceus Arceus grass to bait opponents into using a resisted Moon Shiny Pokemon weren't officially called Shiny Pokemon until gen 5. gamefreak adopted the fan name given by the community for the shiny Sparkle effect they have when they appear if a Pokemon were to theoretically have every single type it would only be weak to rock two-thirds of the Pokemon company's Revenue comes from merchandise sales solgaleo is weak to Fire and lunala is weak to dark which is funny because of the mascots of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon respectively there's a protein called pikachuan that does something with her body I'm not a scientist so I have no clue what these charts mean but yeah that's pretty cool nonetheless Lugia was actually created for the second Pokemon movie after the movie released game freak loved the Pokemon so much they made Lugia game Cannon and even the mascot of Pokemon Silver Empoleon is five seven which is very slightly taller than Napoleon Dynamite who's 5'6 yo just found this while editing just said Napoleon Dynamite it was supposed to be Napoleon Bonaparte but uh I looked up Napoleon Dynamite's uh actor and he's 6-1 so he's definitely taller than all of them so yeah back to the video Angus Khan are born with the King has gone baby already in their pouch azuro can change genders when evolving into Merrell some religious groups Pokemon is actually seen as controversial due to Evolution mechanics but really Pokemon evolution has nothing to do with Evolution at all Evolution and Pokemon is really based more on the maturation of Pokemon from one stage of its life to another and not based on the survival of the fittest generational changes explained by Darwin Arceus is known as the crater ball Pokemon while Mew is known as the ancestor [Music] Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire were the first games to introduce 2v2 battles interacting with the TV in the player's house and Ruby and Sapphire will prompt the TV to describe the movie as two men dancing on giant piano which is a reference to the movie Big Pokemon X and Y introduced the least amount of Pokemon being 72. Sophocles shirt and Pokemon Sun and Moon displays a Game Boy with a Link cable a callback to how players would link Pokemon games before Wi-Fi token tournament's name is a portmanteau of Pokemon and Tekken Mewtwo and Torchic are each the favorite Pokemon of one switch shot member [Music] in the original concept for Mario 64 there was going to be over 40 plus levels just like the old 2D Mario game so data constraints they ended up going for more exploration based levels and basically invented the sandbox collect-a-thon if you punch butterflies they will sometimes turn into bombs Mario 64 was the first game in which Charles martinet was the voice actor for Mario the Skybox for wet dry world is actually the photograph of shabam Yemen with the exception of the red building in the background the red building is a mosque in Cairo Egypt in the summer of 2020 a source code leak of many old Nintendo games including Mario 64 was found and it was discovered that a prototype version of Luigi was at one point in development for the game but in the end it was scrapped due to Hardware limitations at the time the famous backwards long jump glitch that allowed players to skip large portions of the game was actually patched out way back in 1997 in the shindu release of the game with it also came other changes like this title screen Easter egg texture changes and voice line changes The Wing Cap theme is actually the track powerful infant from Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island the original track's Tempo is a bit slower [Music] you know how you can use both the metal and vanish cap and dire dire docks well in the files for the game there was actually a texture for a metal Wing supposedly for use when the Wing Cap and the metal cap were both worn at the same time it is impossible to obtain both of them at the same time in the game but if the hacking device is used it is possible to wear both the Wing Cap and metal cap nips the rabbit's name is an homage to the processor used in the N64 microprocessor without interlocked pipeline stages the sound effect the baby penguin makes is actually a car lock noise [Music] after 100 in the game if you use the now unlocked cannon in the courtyard and fly up to the roof of the castle you'll actually find Yoshi there if you talk to him he'll give you 100 lives in a special triple jump Super Mario Sunshine is the only fully voiced Mario game with full-on cutscenes and everything like cool it's moving many of the names of the levels in Mario Sunshine are actually Italian like gelato Beach Ricoh Harbor in pianta village Isle Delfino is a literal Italian translation of Dolphin Island which seems to be a reference to the gamecube's code name dolphin Serena Beach is actually in the shape of a GameCube controller there's a remix of the Noki Bay Theme which was supposed to be used when riding a Yoshi however Yoshi never makes an appearance in noji Bay which leads Maine to believe that at one point in development Yoshi was actually supposed to be used in gnocchi Bay in the 2001 Space World trailer for Super Mario Sunshine a human NPC was present and was either planned to be in the game or was used as a placeholder either way I'm definitely glad they got rid of them and used piantas instead El piantismo is actually the postman from The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask flood in Bowser Jr's brush are actually inventions by Professor egad from the Luigi's Mansion games in the cutscene at the beginning of the game when you meet flood in this one specific shot there are many Easter eggs in one of them you can see in the bottom left corner many highlights from Mario's career such as his fights against Bowser and Super Mario Bros world and 64. when you lose a life Mario sometimes say Avid avici which means goodbye in Italian well I'm so sorry if I butchered that energy it's rumored that Super Mario Sunshine is actually the game that inspired Nintendo developers to make splatin the Super Mario 128 Tech demo which made use of 128 separate Mario entities is actually what ended up becoming Super Mario Galaxy the weird gravity and terrain inspired Nintendo into looking into making a full game of these kind of playgrounds enrolling Gizmo Galaxy there was a bunch of Star Bits that appear to be in the shape of a groupie from The Legend of Zelda the entirety of Rosalina's storybook was run over the course of one night by yoshiaki koizumi star pits are actually based on real-life Japanese and Portuguese candy called coin Pita sorry if I also mispronounced that pointitos are actually used as models in other Nintendo properties examples include the Gratitude Crystals from The Legend of Zelda and star fragments from Animal Crossing the Japanese Imperial Army's military combat ration tins actually contain coinpitas they're great for their calorie content but also for their ability to help produce saliva so soldiers can eat dry bread easier in Buoy based Galaxy there is actually a planet that happens to be in the shape of a Pokemon there's a sign hidden behind the door at the beginning of Good Egg Galaxy it seems to be a place there as a shortcut to be able to have the door be interactable without actually programming the door to be readable the boss Mega leg is actually a repurposed scrapped boss from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time the philosophy koizumi had when creating Galaxy was that he wanted players 5 to 95 to be able to enjoy the game while this is a good thing it did make the game quite a bit too easy for koizumi's liking so they changed Mario's 8 life meter from 64 in sunshine all the way down to three to make the game a bit more challenging if you click the max number of Star Bits 9999 all the Coconuts in the game will turn into watermelons from Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are the two highest rated Nintendo games of all time Super Mario Galaxy 2's original name was actually going to be Super Mario Galaxy more because at the beginning of development it was going to be a DLC for Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy is also the only 3D Mario game at this time to be released on the same console as its predecessor the level spinning spinning and spinning is the exact same level as the secret of Ricoh Harbor Tower from Mario Sunshine an instructional controls DVD manual came with each hockey Super Mario Galaxy 2 in Japan and Europe but not in North America the level throwback Galaxy is actually the level wamps Fortress from Super Mario 64. for a while during development cameos for other Nintendo franchises like Pikmin and Donkey Kong weren't supposed to make an appearance in Galaxy 2 but they were ultimately rejected by minamoto in shiver burn Galaxy there is a creepy image of aliens out in the distance this image is filed and the code is called hell Valley Sky Tree what the hell does that even mean the ice Mario and flying Mario power-ups from Super Mario Galaxy don't appear in Galaxy 2 but are actually in the game's files when you click 777 or 777 Star Bits and talk to the captain he'll say how lucky when you collect 999 Star Bits and talk to the captain he'll say what happens when you get 999 Star Bits something nice I bet Super Mario 3D Land is actually not the first portable 3D Mario game it was actually Super Mario 64 DS in Super Mario 64 DS you start the game as Yoshi instead of Mario every boss in the game has a unique dialogue depending on which character you are currently playing as even though you can't fight Chief chili as Yoshi he still has an unused dialogue pertaining to a fight against him if you alternate between Mario and Yoshi's drawing in the title screen three times a drawing of Luigi will appear the original name for Super Mario 64 DS was actually Super Mario 64 times 4. this was because at one point development all four characters could be controlled at once Luigi is unlocked by beating King Boo in Big Boo's hot this is a reference to the Luigi's Mansion games when Yoshi eats Square crates he makes cubed eggs the Korean version of the game totes rec room was completely deleted this was due to Korea's strict gambling laws also in the Korean version of the game there's the yellow exclamation point block at the top of Peach's castle that'll give the player a hundred lives there was a versus mode in 64 DS that let you play against your friends and compete in a start collecting minigame when using download play the other players would be different colored Yoshi's exclusive to download Play in December 2011 Nintendo held a promotional event at Times Square for the release of Super Mario 3D land where people could experience the world of Mario in real life Super Mario 3D Land has many references to Super Mario Bros 3 like the Tanooki Suit boom boom and the airships just to name a few unused audio of the Laughing magic Koopa can be found in the game's files using the 3DS's microphone you can actually blow dandelions and collect coins that drop out Peta created a flash game called Mario kills Tanuki in which Tanuki Mario is chased by a skinless Tanuki if you wait long enough at the end of level 4-4 and at the beginning of 8-4 a ghost will appear the level 5 2 is an homage to the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda it is the top Town level in which you can't stomp on enemies and if you light all the Torches a secret door will appear and play the iconic Zelda sound effect if you use binoculars in level 1-3 and look up into the sky you'll see a UFO the use of the word land in the title is actually a callback to the original Super Mario Land game which pioneered portable Mario games if the player reaches the maximum amount of lives Super Mario will no longer wear a hat and instead small Mario will be wearing a hat while it's not possible to fly as Tanooki Mario in game in the credits both Mario and Toad seem to be able to fly using Tanooki suits the captain Toad levels music in Super Mario 3D World is actually the toad Brigade theme from Super Mario Galaxy once beating Super Mario 3D World you actually unlock the game Super Luigi Bros as a celebration of the Year of Luigi the double Cherry power-up was actually a glitch but the developers thought it was cool so they made it into an actual power-up in the switch Port of Super Mario 3D World the player actually moves slightly faster and has a cool new dive the four playable characters in Super Mario 3D World are a callback to Super Mario Bros 2 and have the same abilities as well Luigi can jump the highest Peach has a floaty jump toad is the fastest but has a short hop and Mario is the all-rounder old star 2 also known as Super Galaxy is a callback to the game's Super Mario Galaxy in it you'll find the comet observatory and Rosalina who you will unlock after beating the level the level mount must Dash is a callback to Super Mario Kart on the SNES and even has a remix version of the Mario circuit theme playing the two Mystery House levels they see you fight enemies are called Mystery House melee and Mystery House brawl this of course is a callback to Super Smash Brothers Melee and Super Smash Brothers Brawl when wearing the Goomba mask all of your player sound effects will be changed to the Goomba sound effects the collectible stamps found throughout the levels of Super Mario 3D World could actually be used in the Miiverse post on the Wii U sadly the Miiverse is no longer around and your stamps can only be found in your stamp collection in game the captain Toad puzzle levels were so popular with developers that they actually made an entire game out of them called Captain Toad's treasure Tracker in Super Mario Odyssey the maximum number of goombas you can stack is 30. if you look carefully inside the hint toads map you'll actually see a bird's eye view map of bomb on Battlefield from Super Mario 64. the non-capturable NPCs in Super Mario Odyssey wear hats we talked to the toad by the fountain in Mushroom Kingdom it'll actually tell you that they were all gifted hats I peed when she visited the moon Kingdom if you go to the Mushroom Kingdom via the painting in luncheon Kingdom before actually beating the game you will see that none of the toads are wearing hats that's because by that point in the game Peach hasn't been able to go to the Moon Kingdom to buy all them hats so if you're theoretically able to go to the mainland of the Mushroom Kingdom before Peach has had the chance to go to the Moon Kingdom would you be able to capture a toad the luncheon Kingdom's music was made entirely out of kitchen utensils there's not just one way to enter the Odyssey you can enter through the rear exhaust pipe or ground pound through the roof hatch when collecting a moon Mario will do one of three hand gestures a peace sign an open hand or a closed fist these are all callbacks to Super Mario 64 sunshine and galaxies star slash shine animations respectively it is also a good way to play Rock Paper Scissors against Mario [Music] [Applause] jumping on the globe right outside of the Odyssey will play a music box cover of jump up Superstar [Music] foreign ly get 999 moons most of them will have to be bought from stores since there's only 880 scattered throughout the game the moa's in the sand Kingdom actually help many classic Mario tunes when captured like the Super Mario NES Overworld theme in the Super Mario World ending theme Mario Idol for long enough he'll fall asleep when in the sleeping animation a bird will sometimes sleep on his nose and the color of that bird will always correspond to that Kingdom's Moon Bowser's Fury was released alongside the port of Super Mario 3D World and is the only 3D Mario game not to have a standalone release the four different cat colors that are found throughout Lake lap cat resemble each of the playable characters catsuit colors throughout Super Mario 3D World Super Mario Sunshine's influence can be found throughout the game the most noticeable of these is the reintroduction of shines and of course Bowser Jr Bowser's Fury is the first Mainline Mario game to have Bowser Jr be playable when wearing a cat suit the cats in Lake lap Cat Knows a Lot against you the Bowser amiibo can be used to summon Fury Bowser whenever you please you can actually attack Bowser using the spikes he shoots out the entirety of Bowser's Fury takes place in one big open level this makes Lake lapcat the biggest level in the entire Mario series Mario uses the same animation for collecting moons and odyssey when collecting cat shines and Bowser's Fury after 100 in the game the cat suit gets a texture redesign to match the look of the Giga cat bell power up after 100 in the game Bowser Jr wears whiskers and cat ears Super Mario 3D All-Stars was an anniversary compilation of the first three 3D Mario games released on September 18 2020. it was only available for 194 days and was removed from stores and the Nintendo eShop on March 31st 2021. no one knows for sure why Nintendo did this maybe it's corporate green maybe they thought it would make the game more special the world may never know but in my opinion I just think the Nintendo is dumb in Donkey Kong's official artwork for smash 64 the DK letters are flipped on his tie the expectations for Smash Brothers were low and Nintendo had no intentions of localizing it for an international release but after success in Japan Nintendo decided to release it worldwide Charles Martinez name was misspelled in Smash 64's credits the prototype for smash 64 was called Dragon King the fighting game the Prototype Fighters would later go on to become Captain Falcon all characters except for Captain Falcon use their head as their stock icon Captain Falcon uses a falcon although Pikachu is the best character in Smash 64 he was actually even better in the Japanese version being nerfed for international releases when announcing Metal Mario the announcer's voice has a metallic effect a poll is run in Japan shortly after the release of Smash 64 asking fans what characters they'd like to see appear in future games of the top 10 seven have made it into future games three characters from Napoleon yet to have been added are toad Mew and uh James Bond yeah I don't see that happening in the Japanese version of Smash 64 the fighting polygon team is actually called the dummy core the only characters in Smash 64 without a stage based on their series are Captain Falcon and Ness in an early version of Smash 64 saffron City's roof was pink and purple in Smash 64 and melee Luigi's Dash attack's final hit does no knockback 64 Fighters are placed in chronological order from oldest to newest with Mario and Donkey Kong being the oldest and Pikachu being the newest the unlockable characters were added very close to the end of development leading many of their animations and moves be quite similar to other Fighters there is a draw game sound effect in the files of Smash 64 leading some to assume Sun death wasn't added until very late in development in Mushroom Kingdom stage there's actually a danger sign on the left and right sides of the castle warning the players of the stage's boundary this was also the case in melee Yoshi only has four selectable costumes in 64. but two more can actually be seen in single player mode Dennis and Jigglypuff are the only female fighters in Smash 64. only 12 characters have appeared in all five games these are Mario Donkey Kong link Damas Yoshi Kirby box Pikachu Luigi Ness Captain Falcon and Jigglypuff they're called the original 12. Mushroom Kingdom is the only unlockable stage in Smash 64. in melee there's a glitch that allows you to play as Master Hand it involves plugging your controller into Port 3 and then doing a glitch to bypass the stage selection screen to go straight into the game all players that have not chosen a fighter will automatically be set to Master Hand and he's only playable through Port 3. the game will eventually crash but it's super fun to mess around with this and control Master Hand by pressing X Y or B on your controller before the result screen appears in melee you can actually choose which Victory animation your character does the original melee box art did not include link or Pikachu it was just Mario and Bowser there's a battle bonus called Switzerland where all you need to do is not attack or get attacked Marth and Roy were originally just going to be Japanese exclusive fighters in melee but were added in to promote Fire emblem's release in the West Smash Bros melee actually came out before Roy's debut in Fire Emblem the blinding blade which means Roy's the first and only character to debut in a smash game Mash Bros melee was the last game in the series to be made by Hal Laboratories before sakurai's departure in 2003. by performing a short down taunt on a Star Fox stage while using a Star Fox character a secret conversation taunt will appear that will be different for every single character in the game in it multiple Star Fox characters enter the call to talk about the player's opponent a similar Easter egg is also there for snake and pit from Metal Gear Solid and Kid Icarus respectfully ditto was supposed to be in male bows taken out at the end of development Luigi's sidebee attack is called the green missile and has an even more powerful attack called a misfire the chance of a misfire occurring anytime you use the attack is a one in eight chance in melee and brawl and a one in 10 chance in Smash 4 and ultimate Daisy's trophy in melee has a random floating third eye on the side of her head zechariah's wife Michiko Sakurai designed the menus for most of the games in the series Luigi's voice is just Mario's voice pitched up smash melee was developed in just 13 months so many ideas and features were left out due to time constraints Wario snake and Sonic were all considered for melee but were ultimately not included due to these time constraints a player smash was also thought of but was not included due to Hardware limitations Mr Gaiman watch actually breaks All-Star mode by spamming the hammer move and hoping for a seven in the rest area you can actually get some food which will be able to heal Game and Watch given the rest area has no time limit you can spam side B into your heart's desire it's possible to fully heal yourself before every battle in All-Star mode something that was definitely not intended and was fixed in Smash Bros brawl Samus trophy says her first appearance was in 1989 but Metroid on the NES first launched in Japan three years earlier in 1986. in the Spanish version of Paper Mario the Thousand-Year Door there's a text line that says weaklings should stay home and play Super Smash Brothers Melee bash Brothers Melee was the first game many of the characters appeared in a teen rated game the announcer for Super Smash Brothers Brawl Pat Cashman was also the announcer for Bill Nye the Science Guy if you zoom into Pokemon Stadium during the ice transformation and look inside this little Hut you can see a picture of sakurai's cat seven characters have incomplete files in the code of Smash Brothers Brawl we remain to assume they were intended to be in the game at some point but were ultimately cut they were dubbed by the community The Forbidden seven these characters included Roy Mewtwo and Dr Mario who were characters from melee in Dixie Kong toon Zelda tune Chic and Plusle minen as supposed newcomers the characters from melee would eventually all return for smash 4. while the newcomers would never make the cut I guess everyone isn't here after all wolf Toon Link and Jigglypuff do not appear in Subspace Emissary because they were almost cut from the final game's roster and didn't have time to put them into the plot this is also why Sonic Appears at the very end because he was also added very late in development in Brawl there's a feature called masterpieces which lets you play demos from across the Nintendo's Library every game would have a set time limit you could play before kicking you out players took this as a challenge to try and beat the games and even speedrun them the most famous of them all is the Ocarina of Time brawl Masterpiece speedrun which uses so many unfathomable glitches that you just have to see it to believe it there's an unused fighter select screen within brawl called slipspace which would have been used to play Wi-Fi battles with anyone across the internet the permit space changes every time you boot into Subspace Emissary the Pikachu from brawl might actually be the Pichu from melee let me explain in Brawl Pikachu's Final Smash is full tackle which might not sound weird at first but when you take into account that Pikachus can only learn volt tackle as a Pichu and the Pikachu and brawl also wears the goggles the Pichu melee had I think there's a very high possibility that this might actually be true Sakurai acted out the Subspace Emissary cutscenes to show animators exactly what he wanted them to look like there's an unused teal Luigi costume in brawls files in melee and brawl you can move around the screen in the menus by tilting the sea stick brawl unlike the other games went for more of a realistic aesthetic when making the game going for Less colorful yet more detailed textures the longest work of English literature is a Subspace Emissary fan fiction that comes in at a total of 4 million plus words the Mario circuit stage is actually fully modeled out even though you can only see it from a certain angle Sakurai actually denied villager's inclusion in Brawl because he thought he wasn't suited for battle Zachary was really upset that Subspace emissary's cutscenes ended up being re-uploaded to the internet and so Adventure Mode was not made for smash 4. you dash and brawl there's a one percent chance you'll trip Iwata announced a new Smash game on the Wii without even asking Sakurai if he would direct it after the announcement Iwata talked him personally and asked Zechariah if you direct the game and if zachari refused they would just Port melee with online capabilities you can actually destroy Fox and Falco's landmaster but it's extremely hard to do Ice Climbers were cut from Smash 4 due to Hardware limitations with the 3DS if you bought both smash for Wii U and 3DS during a three month window after the game's release and had a club Nintendo account you would get a free smash soundtrack CD featuring 36 songs from both games you would also get Mewtwo's DLC for free Smasher Wii U is the only game in which Jigglypuff is unlocked from the start there's an unused character file on Smash for Wii U disc called rhythm some people think that this means a rhythm fever character might have actually been in development in both scratch at some point but that's just all speculation each fighter has a unique nickname that displays on the Jumbotron of the boxing ring State some of my favorites are the BMI Bandit the ramen bomber and scoundrel with a fart of gold if you didn't recognize some of these that's because many were actually changed for pal regions to fit how those countries view them if you listen to The Master Core theme and wait through the 1 minute and 53 seconds of Silence you'll hear Morse code which translates to mastercore foreign [Music] is usually the only one driving the spirit train stage on the 3DS but when someone is actually fighting his Toon Link the driver changes to Alfonso match 4 and ultimate's result screen uses the character select theme from Smash 64. in Smash 3DS there's actually a glitch that can get you the big Yoshi all you gotta do is go to the multi-man smash and fight the big Yoshi as Yoshi if you eat him over a little bigger beat him again he'll grow even bigger and if you eat them again he'll grow even bigger this goes on and on and on to the point where it'll become so big that it'll just touch the boundaries of the stage and die after collecting every me outfit in Smash 4 you'll get a notification saying collected every type of custom outfit my body is ready this is a reference to Reggie's iconic we fit quote my body is ready Jigglypuff was actually shiny in the first three games having green eyes instead of blue in 2015 Nintendo ran a smash ballot that allowed players to vote which characters they'd like to see come to smash the winner of the ballot was Bayonetta and she was promptly added to smash well sort of you see the real winner was revealed to actually be Sora in the Final Smash reveal in October 2021 supposedly Nintendo didn't want to reveal the true winner of the ballot back in 2015 so fans wouldn't get mad at the companies of the true winners Smash 4 was the first and only game to include custom moves amiibos were announced alongside the release of Smash 4. because of the low stocking of certain characters it became extremely popular to not only collect them but Scout them this definitely cooled down in later waves and releases but the amiibo Mania sure was in full swing for a couple months orbital gay assault took over a year to make if lomac obtains 100 damage Bruises And Tape will appear on his face match for Wii U released in Japan on Satori wada's 55th birthday there are over 82 fighters in Smash ultimate but if you include all the echo fighters in the count there's actually 88. Yoshi's new Final Smash and ultimate Yoshi Stampede is actually a callback to this shot from melee's opening cutscene Luigi Greninja and kazuya are the only characters of the game to have a taunt that can deal damage while looking like a 2d Sprite Mr Gaiman watch actually has a 3D model because of this a shot from the z-axis in Sephiroth's Final Smash shows him from this hideous 3D form amendment was chosen as the arms representative because the arms producer kasuke yubuki personally requested chibi added in the sheikah text on the great Plateau stage translates to Smash Bros smash ultimate is the only game in the series to build off its predecessor's mechanics rather than just starting from scratch this decision was made so they wouldn't have to cut any character due to time constraints and so they could focus on other aspects of the game inkling takes damage when they're in water just like how they do in Splatoon this is also the case for Charizard incineroar and Sonic the Minecraft world soundtrack is taken from the spin-offs Minecraft dungeons and art because the devs thought the ambient music from Minecraft was too relaxing for a fighting game Mash ultimate soundtrack has 1068 tracks and clocks in that a total of 28 hours Nintendo actually leaked the stage Builder update for Smash Bros ultimate a day before it dropped because it appeared in the background of commercial snake series logos change from the exclamation point logo from the Fox logo and brawl to avoid any issues with Kojima Productions ultimate character selection starts with just the original 8 from Smash 64. Cappy appears in Mario's side taunt as well as his up special in Ultimate you actually pick the stage you'll be playing on first and then pick the character unlike the other games in which it's reversed Kirby was the only one not taken out by glean at the beginning of World of light you start out as him and have to unlock new characters throughout the game it's theorized that Kirby was chosen as the starting fighter of world of light because he was created by Sakurai the Animal Crossing stage's time of day is based on the time set on your switch in the Japanese version of Animal Crossing for the GameCube you could get into nook's cranny After Hours by hitting the door with the shovel a couple times when inside you'll see Tom Nook wearing his PJs fiyaguchi the director of Animal Crossing got the inspiration for the game from moving to Kyoto when he was just 21. he felt lonely yet inspired by this change and wanted to make a game then captured the feelings of friendship and community on New Year's Eve in City Folk you'll receive a shirt with that Year's Chinese zodiac interestingly enough there are shirts for 2000 through 2008 that are in the files but aren't actually unlockable without manually changing the internal clock to go back in time an Animal Crossing population growing the only way to unlock Mario Bros and Ice Climbers is by scanning the respective e-reader cards there's an animal crossing movie it came out in 2006 and only released in Japan in 2003's annual Nintendo Power Awards fans voted in Tom Nook as a top villain most likely due to the high amounts of debt he collects from players while fans might be under the impression that Tom Nook is a greedy debt collector in Animal Crossing happy home designer he shares with the player that 90 of his revenue is donated to an orphanage if you input an invalid song request to KK Slider he will play one of three secret songs one of them from New Horizons is animal city which is a remix of the wild World theme the villagers Rhys and Cyrus were given their names as when combined they sound like recycle the Villager Audi and New Horizons is a neat tribute to a 90 year old grandma who played over 3 500 hours of Animal Crossing new Leaf on her 3DS the new Nintendo 3DS was the only 3DS console to have amiibo functionality so Nintendo released an amiibo peripheral that used Bluetooth allowing players with older 3DS Hardware to scan amiibo into their Animal Crossing games as well in the Japanese version of the original Animal Crossing game all player characters had black eyes when a player catches a squid in New Horizons the message will say off the hook a reference to the Splatoon series there were several pieces of Nintendo themed Furniture in animal crossing newly the way you could obtain these items was by purchasing Tom nook's fortune cookies using playcoin which you could earn by physically walking with your 3DS you could unlock NES games in the original Animal Crossing two of them are in the code but could never actually be unlocked without hacking those two of course were Super Mario Bros in The Legend of Zelda Animal Crossing pocket Camp was the fourth mobile game Nintendo ever released you can Wish Upon a Star by looking up into the sky and pressing a in New Horizons this will cause star fragments to show up on the shore the next morning the most expensive item you can purchase in New Horizons is the Royal Crown which is 1.2 million bells in Animal Crossing New Horizons first week it sold over 13 million copies which is more than every other game in the series did in its entire shelf life interestingly enough the original Animal Crossing game allowed you to have the most villagers being 15. wild world and New Horizons on the other hand had the least number of villagers being eight if you watch your TV at 3 33 a.m in Animal Crossing New Leaf on a Sunday or Monday a creepy alien message will appear Animal Crossing was originally in Nintendo 64 game called animal forest an exclusive to Japan when the GameCube launched they ported it to the system under the subtitle Animal Crossing population growing the TV is an Animal Crossing New Horizons have the complete 24-hour schedule with different shows commercials and news sprinkled in there is a fishing minigame in Wario where smooth moves that is set in Animal Crossing red store theme is Justin X cranny at a different pitch [Music] [Music] the best way to earn bells in Animal Crossing New Horizons is to Simply multiply your cash flow by buying and selling turnip stocks however because the rate of exchange for turnips is varied by Island fans on the internet created an entire Stock Exchange where players would advertise Daisy May's low sales prices or the Nook Brothers high buying price on the island so other villagers could visit and benefit from the same rights Jeremiah the Bullfrog is a reference to the Three Dog Night song Joy to the World if you throw an ax in the fountain of Animal Crossing city Folk Serena will appear and ask you questions the questions are a bit weird but if you happen to get them all right she'll give you the golden ax Animal Crossing New Horizons was announced alongside the reveal of Isabel joining the Smash Brothers roster Mr Rossetti was added to discourage players from resetting their game to get better items in nook's cranny KK Slider is the most popular animal crossing character according to the fan poll the harabuna fish was an exclusive to the animal forest game on the n64. all special characters such as Isabelle Brewster leaf and more are species that no other villager is exceptions only occur if they're related such as the Able Sisters OR blathers and Celeste although Timmy and Tommy aren't related to Tom Nook they're actually just as apprentices Isabelle's birthday falls on National sangria day you can scare away wasps with party poppers Hugh and Raymond are the only villagers with heterochromia which means each of their eyes are a different color Animal Crossing is the first game since the original GameCube game not to include AK slider on the box art in Animal Crossing gyroids cost 828 belts it seems like a random number but actually in Japanese 828 sounds like the word Honeywell which are what gyroids were originally based on KK Slider is based on the composer of the game Kazumi totaka 56 of Animal Crossing new Leaf's pre-orders came from the female audience even though they only made up 31 of the 3DS users to acquire the golden net and fishing rod you'll need to collect all the bugs and fish respectfully Animal Crossing New Horizons is the second best-selling game on the switch at 39 million units in every animal crossing game there is a rock that can be hit every day for a few extra Bells new days in Animal Crossing start at 6am and the game will send you back to your house at the beginning of a new day you can bury bells in a glowy spot and it'll grow to become a money tree which will triple your Bells Animal Crossing actually released a series of interactable game cards long before amiibo back in 2002 for the e-reader which worked with the Game Boy Advance there were 326 total cards released under the name Animal Crossing e Animal Crossing wild World and city folk share the same main theme Dipper tea bunny is actually a villager wearing a costume yet no one knows their true identity in the Spanish versions of the animal crossing games lather's name is Socrates which is a reference to the Greek philosopher of Socrates if you collect all of whisk pieces and then refuse to give them to him you'll actually get stuck in a text Loop which can only end with you giving him the pieces Animal Crossing amiibo Festival was a board game for Nintendo Wii consoles I wrote this as board game in the script because it's boring as heck and is deservedly the lowest rated Animal Crossing game across the board getting a 46 on Metacritic this was actually not the only Animal Crossing game on the Wii U however as the often forgotten Animal Crossing Plaza released on August 7th 2013 and discontinued in December of 2014. it was a new Leaf me vs tie-in that allowed players to post New Leaf screenshots to the Miiverse in the original Animal Crossing for Nintendo GameCube if you clean Gracie's cars a certain number of times and then talk to her she'll exclaim how did you know my name was gretching grunch however this reference to her real name is never mentioned in any other game in the series the amiibo card for Marshall at the height of New Horizons popularity was being scalped and consistently resold for over one hundred dollars Brewster can be befriended him and Sable are the only special characters that can do this you can do a front flip off the dock hot chocolate is only available at the Roost on Valentine's Day go over the traveling seagull's name is a reference to the book Gulliver's Travels in Animal Crossing population growing if you were to visit another town and then reset before going back to your own town you would have a gyroid face when the game booted up again along with the release of Animal Crossing new Leaf welcome amiibo Nintendo added new villagers from Splatoon in Zelda as well as Sanrio characters they could only join your town if you scanned in their amiibo card Gulliver references his travels to Isle Delfino in New Leaf Orville and Wilbur the dodo birds are the only extinct animals in the game the calm common Dynamic and Flowery painting can never be counterfeit Isabelle's Japanese name is which sounds similar to shitsu the type of dog that she is some of Red's fake paintings are actually haunted this one's eyes move Mr Rossetti has a brother Don Rossetti who appears the fifth time he forgot to reset an Animal Crossing GameCube in one of Donkey Kong's Idol animations for Tropical Freeze he'll pull out a 3DS XL and begin playing Animal Crossing if you shoot down the weekly UFO and Animal Crossing wild World you'll find that Gulliver was actually inside it he refers to a ship as the porpoise 5000 which is most likely a reference to Oliver's ship from Pikmin AK slider is the only naked villager Animal Crossing new Leaf starts on the train with Rover just like how the original Animal Crossing starts Rover even says he hasn't been on the train since 2002. Luna is based on the mythological waku which are set to eat people's nightmares if a male character wears feminine clothing in New Leaf their running animation will also change to be feminine omnic's birthday is May 30th an animal crossing the rarest fish by far has got to be the coelacanth which can only be caught in the ocean while it's either raining or snowing in the GameCube version it can only be encountered once per play session meaning if you encountered it and missed you would have to reset your system before you'd be able to spawn it again the main draw of Animal Crossing is that it's set in real time and progresses at the same speed whether or not you're playing the game unless you're a dirty time traveler in that case I have no respect for you Animal Crossing for the GameCube is a direct Port of animal forest from the N64 as a result the game takes up very little space on the disc and when the game is put in the entire game is loaded onto the gamecube's ram so therefore you can take the disc out and continue to play the game as normal although nook's cranny and able sister stores are placed randomly on the town map and wild world they will always be placed next to each other Ramses is named after the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses Animal Crossing happy home designer is actually the first animal crossing game to use amiibo support releasing even before amiibo festival and it used the Animal Crossing amiibo cards animal forest is one of only 14 and 64 games that were made available in China via the IQ player if you start Animal Crossing new Leaf on April Fool's Day Blanco will actually greet you on the train instead of Rover if you reset the GameCube Animal Crossing game too many times Mr Rossetti will have enough to delete all of your progress well at least he tricks you into thinking he does but that would sure scare me into never resetting again the airport's colors determine the types of items that will appear on the Nook stock terminal the leaf logo is based on the Japanese legend that tanuki's are able to turn leaves into money Animal Crossing city Folk is the only game Nintendo developed they use the Wii speak microphone accessory Harvey and Lloyd are the only NPCs from Animal Crossing new Leaf that don't have amiibo cards happen is based on Japanese folklore creatures kappas kappas are known to kidnap children so make sure to keep that in mind the next time he invites you to his Island but in the roost update for Animal Crossing New Horizons he makes his first appearance in the presence of other villagers the able sister's parents died when they were young and Sable did her best to raise her sister's label and Mabel can actually get Sable to open up to you if you make sure to talk to her every single day frog villagers don't hold an umbrella when it rains Animal Crossing characters speak animal leaves which is a simplified and sped up version of English Animal Crossing New Horizons is the highest rated Animal Crossing game on Metacritic being 90 percent amiibo Festival is all the way down at 40 percent wild world was the first game to introduce reactions [Music] The Legend of Zelda NES in Japan is called the Hyrule fantasy Ocarina of time's engine is a modified version of Super Mario 64. the classic series of Zelda cartridges are actually gray instead of gold the only game in the main series of games that does not feature Zelda is Link's Awakening the only Zelda game starring link without Zelda in the title made by Nintendo is Link's crossbow training originally The Legend of Zelda's main theme was going to be the song Bolero by Maurice Ravel but after running into copyright issues Nintendo desperately needed a new theme ready for the game's release so Koji kondo pulled an all-nighter and made one of the best video game themes of all time Koji kondo also remixed Super Mario Bros 3's water Land Theme and turn it into the iconic fairy fountain theme [Music] The Legend of Zelda's timeline is split into three paths they all Spawn from the ending of Ocarina of Time the Fallen Hero timeline the child timeline in the adult timeline breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom come after all these timelines with no specific connection to all three Skyward Sword according to the Hyrule Historia is the very first game in the chronological timeline ironically Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 are some of the latest games down the timeline Nintendo's new Rewards program ended up launching alongside its own Zelda game being my Nintendo pick cross the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess which was only accessible to my Nintendo members Retro Studios apparently worked on a Chic Center game however the gameplay was apparently so bad that Nintendo shut down the project the moment it was presented to them Miyamoto went on to say that Retro Studios was to ever work with the Zelda franchise again it would have to heavily Overlook progress nobuki hyama was the Japanese voice actor for Link in Super Smash Brothers 64 in melee and he actually returned as the voice actor for Super Smash Brothers ultimate however instead of voicing link he returned because he was also the voice actor for the hero variant from Dragon Quest 3. while many have come to love the shell-shaded style of the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker the initial reveal disappointed many fans and this is likely because Nintendo had shown off a more realistic Zelda Tech demo years prior funnily enough Nintendo showed off another realistic looking Zelda Tech demo for the Wii U only to Once Again release another game with shell-shaded graphics according to egnuma Miyamoto literally cringed when even he was presented with wind waker's art style Not only was The Legend of Zelda revolutionary for genre but it was also the first game ever to have a battery pack to save feature which saved your progress on the cartridge itself likely because they share the same Creator the amount of references to Mario in Zelda games is insane while there are many characters across the games that resemble Mario the most blatant cameos come from Link's Awakening which reuses several enemies from the Mario series you can even collect figurines from these enemies the name of the frog in Link's Awakening who teaches you the song of the soul is Mamu however he looks awfully similar to wart from Super Mario Bros 2. that's because Mamu is his name in Doki Doki Panic before it was rebranded as a Mario title Link's Awakening also has a photograph of Princess Peach now I'm kidding this photograph is attached to the letter from Christine who just so happens to look identical to a certain princess from the Mushroom Kingdom there are more link amiibo figures than any other amiibo in Mario Kart 8 link was the first character to be added that wasn't a Mario character however he's not the first character to do this in a Mainline Mario Kart game as Rob was added to Mario Kart DS 10 years earlier Link's breath of the wild costume in the master cycle zero are the only new character models and car parts to be added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe since its release The Legend of Zelda breath of the wild has official artwork that features link completely naked this can be seen in the art book The Legend of Zelda creating a champion breath of the wild had a prototype made for it where its layouts were converted into an entirely 2D 8-bit game the first Zelda game was remade for the Super Nintendo as a 16-bit game and was called BS The Legend of Zelda BS stood for broadcast satellite as it was only available to you if you had a satella view peripheral which was unfortunately exclusive to Japanese systems link is typically left-handed but he predominantly uses his right hand in Skyward Sword and Link's crossbow training as these games were heavily focused on motion controls via the WeMo the only member of Link's immediate family we ever see is Ariel his sister from Wind Waker however we do see some members of his extended family such as his uncle from link to the past and his grandmother the developers of Hyrule Warriors initially scrapped Lincoln the female version of link as alanuma believed that she would be confused for Link's sister from Wind Waker the developers decide to add her as DLC as many fans expressed interest in this character after seeing sketches that were included in the Hyrule Warriors arpa however she is not a Canon character when breath of the wild showcased its first trailer many fans thought the new version of Link was actually a girl because of his long-haired ponytail and earrings owenumo went on to reaffirm that this version of Link was in fact male but this was also an intentional design choice to make the character more relatable to a wider audience link is Iconic for never speaking out loud in his games however he does say a few lines across the series the first Mainline Zelda game he spoken was Wind Waker where he can be heard yelling technically the first Zelda game link spoken was linked the faces of evil for the Philips CDI but this is definitely not canon gee it sure is boring around here how about a kiss for luck you've got to be kidding while the Philips CDI Zelda Trilogy is not canon Nintendo intentionally gave Phillips the licensing to make these games they did this to get out of an agreement they had made to create a peripheral to the NES together while smash ultimates entirely sent around every fighter returning link might just be the only one that didn't using palutana's guidance she'll explain to Pitt that this is a different link from the one in previous entries referring to him as the hero of the wild Incarnation I can't put my finger on it but link seems different somehow well this link is technically a different person from the link you bought before this Incarnation is known as the hero of the Wild while the Game Boy effectively killed The Game and Watch series Nintendo ended up releasing a Zelda game and Watchers four months after the Game Boy released the last game in watch ever released was not that long ago as this was actually the 35th Anniversary Zelda Edition Game and Watch the flute sound effect from the original Legend of Zelda is most iconic for its remixed version in Ocarina of time's intro this tune was also borrowed for Super Mario Bros 3 work whistle sound effect all right well many people know that Link's design was inspired by Peter Pan Navi might just be inspired by Tinkerbell in an interview Shigeru Miyamoto said that Nabi is jealous of Zelda because she feels something for link which sounds Vaguely Familiar The Legend of Zelda TV series was a 13 episode cartoon and it was tied to the Super Mario Bros Super Show and each episode would have a live action segment featuring the Mario Bros Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link often never gets talked about and Miyamoto seems to know why as he referred to it as the only Zelda game in which he considers to be a failure and he attributed its failure to Hardware limitations Miyamoto may have felt this way about Skyward Sword for a bit as well given he got to experience secondhand embarrassment at E3 2010 when the game's motion controls refused to function properly during his live presentation for the game so to popinski's laugh from punch out is the same sound effect used by Ganon when he laughs at you during Zelda 2's game over screen Palatine is revealed for Smash 4 left many fans hoping for a Zelda anime and while we've yet to see one yet there is a Zelda manga series with 10 entries each referencing a different Zelda game Nintendo developed a hard mode for Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 disk drive but this didn't release because the failure of the 64 DD and the game was layer ported to the GameCube as Master Quest when Reggie fizmay was a guest on CBS This Morning After the launch of breath of the wild he was asked about Link's appearance in which he simply replied it's hot in breath of the Wild's developers intentionally designed the game to allow players to encounter Ganon very early into the story giving the players a chance to play at any Pace they want some players have managed to even beat Ganon with just three hearts if you own a 3DS and a Wii U you can actually play every single Mainline Zelda game to date Link's trusty Steed from throughout the Zelda series is named after the Celtic goddess of horses Epona while link is mostly known for riding horses he can actually be seen writing several unconventional animals like a flying bear a kangaroo and a lizard being Moosh Ricky and Dimitri from Oracle of Seasons and ages games while the dubious food from Wrath of the Wilder appears to be so grotesque that its name in Japan simply translates to lackluster cuisine in the Zelda games from the NES stand out for their golden cartridges the only other game on the NES with a cartridge like this is the 1990 Nintendo World Championships gold cartridge only 26 of these even exist because they were given out as part of a Nintendo Power sweepstakes the first character encountered in the first Zelda game gives links several different swords throughout his adventure and simply titled old man similarly you encounter an old man at the beginning of breath of wild whose letter revealed to be the king of Hyrule meaning all the way back in the first game you may have just been receiving aid from the king the whole time the hero Spirit from Twilight Princess who trains link and teaches him his hidden skills is actually the spirit of link from Ocarina of Time in Wind Waker being the hero of time the most expensive Zelda game to play might just be four Swords Adventures because it required a Game Boy Advance and a Link cable for each player alongside a GameCube and the game itself on the DSi in the 3DS however it's the cheapest game and it was made available for free in 2011. well Triforce Heroes was a spiritual successor to force Swords Adventures purple link was cut from the game to keep it limited to three players however just outside the castle you can come across a link-shaped figure that's described as a broken forgotten doll which is likely a reference to the Fallen purple Zelda breath of wild is Nintendo's only game ever to win game of the year the happy mask salesman from Majora's Mask seems to have collected himself a few Nintendo references including the Keaton Mass which Bears similarity to Pikachu and another mask that clearly resembles Mario the name link was chosen to refer to his connection to the Triforce fragments which were originally computer chips The Legend of Zelda has its own official rap song it's quite corny but it was used in the 1980s commercial for the NES title you haven't played it yet we can play it on my Nintendo Entertainment System it's the Legend of Zelda and it's really rad those creatures from Canada are pretty bad when creating the Legend of Zelda Miyamoto was heavily inspired by his time as a child adventuring around the countryside he wanted to create the child like Wonder in a video game Zelda was named after F Scott Fitzgerald's wife Robin Williams daughter was named after the Legend of Zelda they even both appeared in a commercial for the 3D remake of Ocarina of Time where Robin Williams describes why he named her Zelda the only enemy to appear in every Mainline Zelda game is the staphylo skeleton the dungeons fit together like puzzle pieces to save space for the NES cartridge naming yourself Zelda lets you start the second Quest immediately the ls real graphic from Super Mario 64 is used in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of times dodongo's Cavern when downloading a rune in breath of the wild the Chica text Will flow down onto your chica's light the text translates to now loading do not turn off your and all your bass are a reference to the localization flood from zero wing during the development of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time the developers considered having link travel across worlds to the paintings just like in Super Mario 64. inside the castle The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3 you can actually find paintings referencing the Super Mario franchise while Tetra is later revealed to be Princess Zelda in Wind Waker the two are essentially two entirely different personas in fact Tetra is not even aware that she's Zelda as she claims she's never even heard of Zelda before the tears of the Kingdom title and release date were shown off on the September 13th 2022 Nintendo Direct that direct wasn't streamed live to UK audiences due to the morning period of Queen Elizabeth II's death some speculate that it was actually not streamed because the game's title being well here's the kingdom breath of the wild was the first game in the series to have weapons break Link's experience with fighting games extends Beyond's match it was actually a playable character in Soul Calibur 2 for the Nintendo GameCube the rock wall and Ocarina of Time Has hidden constellations based on real-life constellations in Zelda Twilight Princess was mirrored when ported to the Wii link was left-handed on the GameCube version and right-handed on the Wii Link's Awakening was originally going to be a handheld Port of elected past character tingle has two games of his own series being freshly picked tingles Rosie Ruby land in its sequel ripen tingles balloon trip of love the first game only released in Japan and Europe in the second Never released outside of Japan Nintendo also released a game that was exclusive to the Japanese Club Nintendo service called tingles balloon fight Diaz which was a reskin of the NES game balloon fight featuring tingle by collecting all 900 korok seats in breath of the wild you'll receive hetzu's gift which is described as smelly and looks like this The Rock mushroom power-up from Super Mario 64 was inspired from the Goron's ability from Zelda Majora's Mask you can actually see two impas In Cadence of Hyrule by playing as her in the game's co-op mode the other impa will appear in Zelda's quarters while you were using her this theme playing now from the link to the past was a remixed version of Super Mario Bros 2 boss theme Hyrule circuit is only one of two circuit tracks found across the Mario Kart Series without a character referenced in the name the other is the figure eight circuit link to the past has the most dungeons out of any other game in the series being 13. unless you count shrines in that case breath of wild has the most with 120. the game with the least amount of dungeons is Majora's Mask with only four even though Skyward Sword was made for the Wii it's formatted for 16x9 screens Twilight Princess is the only game in the series not to feature OCTA rocks each piece of the Triforce is linked to one of Link Zelda and Ganon link has the Triforce of Courage Zelda has the Triforce of wisdom and Ganon has the Triforce of power Zelda 2 The Adventure of link is the only side-scrolling game in the series a modified version of linked pass was downloadable via the satello view for the super famicom in Japan it was actually re-released in the Nintendo switch online service Oracle of Ages in Oracle of Seasons are companion games that were released on the same day but they aren't identical like the way Pokemon games are released instead each game is its own unique campaign and the other game can be played as a sequel once the first game is completed you will be given a code that you can plug into the inverse game which will make that game act as a sequel the Oracle games were known as the Triforce Series in Japan with each game being based on one part of the Triforce mystical seed of power was the Oracle of Seasons mystical seed of wisdom was the oracled ages in the mystical seed of Courage was canceled and therefore Never released overseas or any scenes for that matter because the game was never finished the best-selling game in the series is breath of the Wild and the least selling game in the series is four Swords Adventures which is so unfortunate because I love the crazy concept Nintendo made for this game the original logo for the Minish Cap included the master sword but it was replaced when it was decided that the master sword would not appear in the game the Minish Cap is also the only game in the series to include a sound test feature Link's voice and Triforce Heroes is randomly selected at the beginning of the game from either Ocarina of Time Wind Waker Spirit Tracks or a link between worlds The Legend of Zelda came with a player manual with a blank map that let players draw out the underground layout so they could keep track of the dungeons [Music] Kirby and dreamland's title screen was drastically changed in the international releases to accommodate the longer title Kirby's air ride was originally going to be called Kirby Bowl 64 in release on the N64 . in the very first level of Kirby and the Forgotten land called point of arrival you can hear birds chirping along with other ambient noises but if you pay close attention you'll hear the birds are actually chirping the grassland scene foreign [Music] Luigi Toad in Birdo are visible in the Sands of the spring Breeze battle with King Dedede and Kirby Superstar Kirby's Adventure is by far the largest NES game coming in at a whopping six megabits the first letter of each World in Kirby's Adventure spells out Vib G your which if you haven't guessed is Roy G Biv spelled backwards if Kirby uses the fighter ability in Planet robobot and presses the street fighter inputs for a hadoken Kirby will do a Charged version of his attack Kirby's Dream course and Earthbound share many sound effects this is because they are both developed by how Laboratories around the same time title of the 3DS game Kirby's Triple Deluxe is a play on 3D triple being the three in Deluxe being the D erby's Avalanche is called Kirby's ghost trap in pal releases Kirby's air ride was the last game Masahiro Sakurai directed for how Laboratories Kirby's Return to Dreamland had an excruciating 11 year long development cycle going through multiple redesigns and restarts before finally being released in 2011 on the Wii link canonically kills Kirby well anti-curvy a featured boss in Link's Awakening Kirby is also in fortnite well at least he was left in the trailer for a few frames this was removed for the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game's leading May to assume it was a mistake Kirby isn't in fortnite but fortnite definitely is in Kirby a 2019 my Nintendo wallpaper for Kirby's Epic Yarn randomly had a fortnight logo in it in an american commercial for Kirby's Dreamland Kirby had teeth okay so let's go from one of the most cursed Kirby facts to one of the most wholesome in 2011 Nintendo held a contest with the Starlight Children's Foundation for children to invent a new Kirby super ability one of the abilities shown in the contest Gallery was Dr Kirby who would help others who are sick if this isn't already one of the most wholesome things to ever exist Dr Kirby would actually come to exist being added into Kirby Planet robot while Kirby was always intended to be pink on the American box art for Kirby's Dreamland the first game in the series he was actually white this was a communication error with the team because although Kirby was supposed to be pink there was no way of knowing this by playing the game because on the game boy he just appeared in grayscale okay going from the first kirby to the newest Kirby Kirby and the Forgotten land is representing a brand new direction for the series and features a new version of the main Kirby series logo having changed the font for the first time since Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland and that logo has received a major update Kirby's original name was twinkle poppo or popo Po in that scrap name reappeared as the popopo islands in Kirby Mass Attack Kirby ended up being named after a lawyer for Nintendo of America John Kirby Hal is both the reference to being one letter before IBM and Hal and Hal 9000 from 2001 A Space Odyssey Hal made many games before Kirby including eggerland mystery which also released on the MSX in 1985. agrolan mystery starred both lololo and la la who'd go on to be bosses turned allies in the Kirby franchise some of the most expensive amiibo are these DDD and Meta Knight features which have manufacturing errors Kirby right Back at you the TV show was dubbed and localized by four kids entertainment which also had some questionable changes one of these changes included ddd's chainsaw into a lightsaber looking thing why this was changed I'm not quite sure Kirby 64 the Crystal Shards is one of the few games in the series not to feature the curry dance in any form however there was some reference to the victory theme in the code meaning it was probably originally planned in Kirby's Return to Dreamland Kirby occasionally smugly smirks while doing the dance no clue why in the same game Kirby can also moonwalk as his dance which is an obvious reference to Michael Jackson Kirby appears quite often in the Smash Bros promotional media like fighter reveals like Rosalina minmin kazuya and the world of light probably given that his creator is Masahiro Sakurai who obviously produces smash Kirby technically first appeared as a background cameo in Arcana a Hal game that dropped two months before Dreamland during development most Kirby games are internally named after food some of the most interesting ones are Kirby spider Deluxe being pizza and Planet robobot being torta game Kirby Clash Deluxe in super Kirby Clash are lime and lime too respectively obviously because they are somewhat sequels Kirby was originally a placeholder icon before the developers fell in love with him picking ddd's name is pronounced Day Day in Japanese in the smash crowd chants both pronunciations Sakurai voices DDD and smash meaning in the Banjo-Kazooie and k-roll trailers he's literally laughing at the viewer the super spicy Kirby is only in the first Kirby game then it appeared 15 years later as a smash item Kirby's copy ability was also not in the first game being added a year later in a sequel in fact ANS complained that in the first game Kirby dreamland on Game Boy was too easy so hence why copy abilities were added in the sequel to incentivize players to fight the enemies rather than just fly over them when coming up with the copyability concept developers came up with over 40 items for different abilities however only 26 made into the sequel nobly cut a block making power which we would eventually go on to see as one of Kirby's most iconic moves in Smash Bros Kirby levels often spell out different words lightly related to the games with canvas curses levels spelling out rainbow Kirby's Adventure features the first appearance of Mennonite but he wasn't named that in that game speaking of Mennonite early concept art turned with this armor which is undoubtedly cooler but the complex nature makes him understandably cut apparently level 5 5 in Dreamland 2 resembles a naked woman I don't know if that seems like a stretch but people love claiming that this is so here it is Kirby Superstar's original title was Kirby of the Stars active there's an entire Metroid mission in Dreamland 3 about defeating Metroid which is given to the player by Samus Kirby's canvas curse is currently the highest rated Kirby game on Metacritic which is weird considering that it's arguably the most untraditional Mainline Kirby Kirby's kagiaro mission was originally a concept for a Kirby horror game this was obviously canceled however apparently it would have been about Kirby's mouth sealed shut from a curse which is actually kind of interesting for Kirby's 20th anniversary a group of 536 Kirby fans assembled in Seattle for PAX Prime in 2012 to claim the Guinness World Record for blowing bubble gum which required the group to hold the bubbles for over 30 seconds Nintendo organized the event and even printed kirby-themed instructions on how to correctly chew and blow bubble gum Kirby is often happy in the Japanese box art but mad in the U.S box art this comes down to Nintendo of America's marketing Kirby star allies is the first Kirby game to have a happy Kirby on the North American box art since Kirby and the Rainbow Curse this was also the case in Kirby in the Forgotten Lance box art Kirby's flying and hovering abilities were introduced to the game in order to differentiate the game from other Platformers at that time and give it an easier learning curve Kirby has always been known for being a short character especially when comparing him to other characters that show up in Smash but canonically in his own games he's even shorter coming in at a mere eight inches tall Kirby shares the same voice actress as Ness Kirby's Dreamland was originally without an actual keyboard instead series Creator Masahiro Sakurai used a twin famicon which used a trackball to control an on-screen keyboard did you know Kirby's first 3D appearance was in the game that wasn't even in his own that would be smash 64 as Kirby 64 the Crystal Shards only came out about 14 months after that the massive Smash Bros stage the great cave offensive was actually taken originally from Kirby Superstar where it was a sub game in it you explore a massive cave and collect valuable treasure along the way Kirby's entire smash moveset is compiled of copy abilities from his respective games however in The Amazing Mirror it became a power up in it of itself called smash you can get said smash power up by inhaling Master Hand which appears as a mini boss in the Amazing Mirror Kirby's hat design while using the yoyo copy ability is very similar to nesses Kirby's Epic Yarn wasn't originally a Kirby game instead the main character was Prince fluff however Nintendo felt that this concept wouldn't do well so instead they transformed it into a Kirby game in which Kirby fit seamlessly Kirby Planet robot was originally titled Kirby Triple Deluxe 2. however when the idea of robot armor came up it completely changed the direction of the game and the rest was history planet robobot was also the first 3D Mario game to show Meta Knight without his mask planet robobot was the first Kirby game to have the complete original soundtrack available outside of Japan Club Nintendo discontinued on July 1st 2015. just months after Kirby in the Rainbow Curse release because of this rainbow cursed is the first Kirby game not to come with a club Nintendo pin code since the program started in 2003 Rainbow Curse is one of the few Wii U games to actually feature 60fps gameplay but purposely slows down character animations to capture the love of claymation during both cutscenes and gameplay Kirby star allies was the first Kirby game to be localized in Chinese in both traditional and simplified form Kirby star allies has the largest voice cast out of any Kirby game with a grand total of 10 voice actors it was also the first Kirby game to see a worldwide release on the same day Smash Bros brawl essentially joined Kirby's air ride menu despite a cult following Kirby's air ride has never released a permanent digital download Kirby's Epic Yarn takes up to 31 blocks of Louise memory Kirby's Epic Yarn also takes as many sound effects from the Wii title War you Land shake It the time between releases of Kirby Squeak Squad and Kirby's Epic Yarn marked the longest duration without a entirely new Kirby game in North America since the beginning of the series apparently a stage on Kirby's Epic Yarn was originally planned for Super Smash Brothers Wii U however after the announcement of Yoshi's woolly World yarn aesthetic was used for Yoshi stage in Kirby stage was retooled into the great cave offensive if the player shakes the Wii remote right before the opening video plays in Kirby Return to Dreamland a different Kirby appears during the opening cinematic on the title screen box boy also made by Hal was originally planned to have Kirby as the protagonist but it was shifted over to boxboy when the game director decided Kirby extruding boxes from him would look too weird issue 39 Nintendo Power states that wispy Woods is also known as the Larkspur liar but nobody really uses this otherwise Kirby's pinball land is the only Kirby game to use an engine from another Nintendo game this being Pokemon pinball speaking of pinball the gator enemy and Kirby Superstar is modeled after the Gators from Revenge of the Gator a pinball game released by Hal laboratory in 1989. this is kibi this is a yellow Kirby supposedly they are completely different characters sakurai's favorite Kirby copy abilities are hand-to-hand abilities like fighter and suplex Kirby slide Kirby's toy box and Kirby's star stacker are the only games in the Kirby series to not feature any female characters in the Japanese version of Kirby's Dreamland 3 boss Butch's title screen has the phrase Nintendo 16 written across the top this is the Nintendo 64 reference altar to fit to the 16-bit super famicom when Kirby Nightmare and Dreamland is turned on exactly 120 Kirby's Rush across the screen the acronym for Kirby right Back at you spells Kirby's name obviously minus the I Kirby Squeak Squad was originally the first Kirby game to be released in Korea one of the unused elements in Kirby Mass Attack is that palette selection screen where the player would have been able to change colors of the Kirby in a behind the scenes Miiverse post-director shinyakumizaki mentions that the Sunstone items in Kirby Triple Deluxe contain the power of sunlight and that a character who dislikes the sun may have turned the light into gems in an effort to Rob Gloria of its light there are over 300 rooms in Kirby Triple Deluxe Kirby Triple Deluxe also has the longest 100 speed run out of any Kirby game the top run was finished at a time of 6 hours and 34 minutes and 42 seconds on December 1st 2018. the ESP copy abilities and Planet robot appear as a reference to Ness Kirby family was a canceled Game Boy Color game that when combined to a Jaguar sewing machine produced kirby-themed embroidery patterns Kirby family is also the only canceled Kirby game to have its full ROM leaked online Kirby star allies is the most heavily censored Kirby game to the state due to religion being one of the main themes a fifth root variety grapes was intended to appear in Kirby Mass Attack it was scrapped volcano Valley from Kirby Mass Attack originally has a pinkish purple Hue and sports lanterns with green flames during Kirby's Return to dreamland's development the creative team considered calling the game Kirby we super friend in a reference to the game's super abilities and four-player Co-op no one truly knows Kirby's age in the Japanese version of Kirby Superstar there's a Mado sign in the credits of the Milky Way wishes level this was removed in international releases due to Nintendo of America's regulations on Japanese culture Kirby's Tilton tumble's cartridge is The Only Game Boy Color game that has the notch that allows it to fit inside an original Game Boy system it'll even display message stating that this game doesn't work with that system and will only work on Game Boy Color handhelds in the extra game credits of Kirby's Dreamland Chucky's name is switch to Hurley and finally Kirby Battle Royale is the first Kirby game to be localized in Dutch [Music] original Super Mario Bros this game pushed Mario to be an instant household name it's only five years after its release in 1985 a study taken in North America suggested that more children in the United States were familiar with Mario than they were with Mickey Mouse a straightforward Game the book Super Mario Bros the complete strategy guide was the top selling book in Japan for 1985. the year after the game's release it was also the top selling book in Japan for 1986. Nintendo hates emulation except when they don't they ported it over to the GBA for The famicom Minis collection in Japan it's also emulated on the gamecube's Animal Crossing game it's emulated on the NES classic and many more on top of the Virtual Console no one knows the exact release date of Super Mario Bros in North America the NES was released in test markets in October of 1985 but the exact date is still disputed Super Mario Bros deluxe is just the NES game ported over to the GameCube color but at the time having the biggest video game of all time in your pocket was insane Gamespot rated this port a 9.9 and it stayed the highest rated game in the series all the way until 2010 with Super Mario Galaxy 2. this game did actually have some additional features including a U-verse boom mode where you race against the Super Mario World boost Sprite this unlocks after reaching 100 000 points in the main mode which makes it one of the only times in the series where this points counter does anything meaningful everyone knows that the first ever Super Mario Bros enemy is a Goomba but there was almost a universe where it was a Koopa when asked by Eurogamer Miyamoto said originally we had a Koopa Troopa that came out but we thought it may be a little too difficult for players to jump on it and kick it that's why we created the Goomba the first seven Bowsers you fight are actually all fake if you kill Bowser with the fire flower power up you'll see that the Goomba pops out during the fight within the first seven worlds it was a Goomba the whole time all night Nippon is the Japanese radio program which is still airing today in 1986 we got an all-night Nippon Super Mario Bros which upon first viewing at least to me looks more like an old Flash animation than anything official Nintendo would make Super Mario Bros has got nothing on Super Luigi Bros which is just a mirrored version of the game with Luigi instead of Mario he does have a higher jump however Hudson soft yes hudsonsoft released Super Mario Bros special an officially licensed PC Port of the original game if you follow Nintendo closely you'll know just how insane this is looking back Nintendo also released an arcade Port of Super Mario Bros titled vs Super Mario Bros which was a more competitive version of the game that added minor changes to some levels to make them fit more for an arcade Port the game was later reported to the switch as part of the arcade archive series Super Mario Bros 2 in Japan didn't release overseas as Nintendo thought other players would not like the game's difficulty the game was eventually made available to overseas players to be the Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES and the name was changed to Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels the Super Mario Bros 2 that the rest of the world got was simply an already existing game Doki Doki Panic the protagonists were replaced with Mario characters this version of the game was playable in Japan however through the fam cons to teleview and it was titled Super Mario Bros USA considering Super Mario Bros 2 was a reskin of Doki Doki Panic this means that iconic Mario characters like Birdo and shagai were first introduced in a game that weren't even originally Mario characters you can actually jump over the flagpole in Super Mario Bros this became an actual feature in the Lost Levels when a Warp Zone could be found past the flagpole the first ever video game Daisy ever appeared in is Super Mario Land where she takes on the role as the kidnapped Princess in sarasaland despite being an established Mario character since 1989 Daisy has only been playable in one Mainline Mario game and it's actually Super Mario run where her and her double jump were made unlockable through the game's remix 10 update many Americans first exposure to Super Mario Bros 3 was through the 1989 film The Wizard Super Mario Bros 3 is the following game used for the movie's video game tournament despite the film releasing even before the actual title when Super Mario Bros 3 was being localized for North America the manual gave Koopalings no unique names all the names of the Koopalings were provided from Dave Brooks who named them after famous musicians singers and celebrities for instance Ludwig von Koopa was named after Ludwig van Beethoven because of the resemblance through their wild hairstyles The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 gave all to Koopalings unique names as the show was produced before the localization of the game when he is probably the weirdest name being cutie pie crouching on these white blocks for a certain amount of time in Super Mario Bros 3 will put the player behind the level allowing them to run past anything if you try to recreate this in Super Mario Maker Mario will do a slight jump as a nod to this original Easter egg Super Mario Bros 3's port for the Game Boy Advance added 30 additional levels to the original game that could only be obtained through scanning cards on the e-reader these levels were made available on the Wii U's Port without the need of the cards have you ever wondered why the Super Mario Bros advanced games comes with Mario Bros apparently this was done so anyone with any of these games could play multiplayer through the gba's Link cable while Miyamoto wanted to implement a rideable dinosaur since Super Mario Bros Yoshi was never a power up until the release of Super Mario World due to the hardware limitations of the NES however you can ride Yoshi in an NES game that being an NES Port of Mario is missing which released in 1994 long after the Super Nintendo according to Super Mario world's manual the sunken Ghost Ship level you encounter is actually one of the airships you downed in Super Mario Bros 3. well everyone is familiar with Peach's castle in Bowser's Castle Mario actually had his own castle in Super Mario Land 2 which Wario ends up stealing and rebranding as his own castle despite being an entirely new franchise the first Warrior land in Yoshi's Island games were given the subtitles Super Mario Land 3 in Super Mario Land 2 which was likely done in order to market the game to people familiar with Mario however does this technically make Wario Land 2 Super Mario Land 4 in Yoshi's Island DS Super Mario World 3. new Super Mario Bros me was a tech demo for the Wii U that allowed players to play as their Meme and was mostly designed to show off the gamepad's ability to play games without a TV this ended up becoming new Super Mario Bros U as you might have guessed in 2015 Nintendo brought back their iconic Nintendo World Championships 25 years after the first one was hosted The Game's final event was a contest between who could get the fastest times in the levels Nintendo 3S designed for Super Mario Maker a game that hadn't even been released at the time not only had the game yet to release but some of the tools you used in the levels had never been shown off before which definitely caught the players off guard after completing every Special World level in Super Mario World the levels will turn fall colored and certain enemies will Dawn Mario masks the four colors displayed on the top of the Special World screen are a reference to the button layout in the super famicom's controllers in the Japanese version of Super Mario World Yoshi can eat dolphins but in the international releases he can't it was re-added to the GBA port in 2001. in 2019 a fan created a Super Mario Battle Royale online game in which 100 players tried to make it the furthest in the original Super Mario Bros Nintendo ended up taking the project down not only to release their own Mario Battle Royale the next year titled Super Mario Bros 35. they then went on to stop support for their own game months later making it no longer playable Super Mario Bros 3 released twice in English in the second version many of the world's names were changed examples including Big Island to Giant land and kupahari desert desert land the infinite one-ups trick from the original Super Mario Bros isn't a glitch or exploit according to Miyamoto the developers tested it and intentionally left it in the game to reward Advanced players but to his surprise some players were very good at performing it This Island from World 3 of Super Mario Bros 3 is shaped like Japan in its Castle's place where Nintendo HQ is in Kyoto if you let the

Kong 2. it's nearly identical to the original Donkey Kong Junior so maybe they just renamed it for the gaming watch except there was also a Donkey Kong Jr Game and Watch released the year prior I don't know what's up with these games that end in the number two but it really shouldn't be that hard to number your games especially when it's the second game in the series the kremlins were originally part of a canceled rare game but they were introduced as the villains of DK country because they thought they fit in nicely with the franchise Donkey Kong Country is the best-selling non-bundled 16-bit game in history rare proposed a Donkey Kong Country 4 from the DS that would have been a 2.5 D platformer but it was ultimately turned down by Nintendo Donkey Kong 64 was the first

shooter where the player controlled an ink firing tofu-shaped block before Nintendo decided to use squids they thought about using rabbits as the main avatars they also thought about using Mario characters because they knew would be less of a monetary risk if a well-known franchise like Mario was the main stage once they landed on squids they still looked pretty whack not fully formulating the inkling squid kid design until later in development despite the inklings being squids they die instantly when touching water there are various fictional musical artists and bands within the Splatoon series but none not even the squid sisters have released more songs than dead fish the least prolific band in the Splatoon series are the Cuttlefish Idols who were popular before the first game was placed in the timeline and therefore have zero listenable tracks only posters are scattered throughout the various environments Nintendo released outfits based on the Splatoon Manga and Anime series as free DLC in 2015. days before the release of Splatoon in 2015 a truck holding many copies of Splatoon disc and amiibos were hijacked on the way to a retail Warehouse Splatoon 2 has a reversible cover that features Salmon Run box art the back of the amiibo box in inkopolis Plaza and square are fully detailed even though you can't see them in normal gameplay roll 26 and Splatoon 1's campaign shows a human skeleton with a Wii U stating that they're said to be over 12 000 years old this means Splatoon is set in the very far future a month before the release of Splatoon Nintendo held the Splatoon mess Fest event at Santa Monica Pier where celebrities competed in an obstacle course and played Splatoon before launch Splatoon was the first new IP Nintendo EAD had released since Pikmin released 14 years earlier on the Nintendo GameCube the squid sisters are named Cali and Marie an obvious reference to calamari but the off the hook members from Splatoon 2 Pearl and Marina have been theorized to be a reference to Pearl Harbor obviously this seems way out of place for a Nintendo game but let me know what you guys think in the comments below sunken Scrolls 25 and 26 in Splatoon one confirmed that Judd the cat is immortal Splatoon 2 salmon run map ruins of Arc Polaris is actually a defunct human ship left over from times past confirmed by the English writing on the stage in background this is one of the only times that you can see English text in the Splatoon series obviously outside of the UI in text bubbles the language that the inklings do speak is called inkling so the inklings speak inkling but the octarians also speak Inkling squid jump squid racer squid ball and Squid beeps are all retro arcade themed minigame that could be played in ink offless Plaza and while waiting to enter a match only squid jump was available unless you're able to unlock the others through the game's amiibo challenges each of these games featured artworks is inspired by box Arts used for the NES and famicon games squid beats was the only game to return in Splatoon 2. as squid beats 2 outside the Shoal Splatoon unfortunately fell victim to the Wii U's ridiculous marketing and releasing alongside advertisements like this [Music] rated everyone 10 and up Splatoon played a key role in the announcement of Super Smash Brothers ultimate the initial reveal trailer featured an intricate cutscene that left many fans thinking it was a major Splatoon announcement the rarest form of currency across the Splatoon games are the super sea snails which could either be used to re-roll or add sub-abilities to gear pieces however they could only be obtained by participating in splatfest the amount of super sea snails that you're awarded with depend on the ranking achieve during a splatfest the five ranks being Fanboy or fangirl theme Defender Champion or king and queen Super C snails also make a cameo appearance in Animal Crossing welcome amiibo they can be obtained by purchasing them from Inkwell the character Inkwell is a complete reference to Splatoon as well his shirt features the same logo used to represent ranked battles splatoon's splatfest themes were all different depending on what region you were playing for instance the first splatfest was cats first dogs in America pop music versus rock music in Europe in rice vs bread in Japan the only Splatoon one splatfest that shared the same theme was Cali versus Marie there was also a Pokemon theme Splat Fest in every region however it was called Pokemon Red vs Blue in the Americas in Europe in Pokemon Red vs Green in Japan unlike the Cali Maurice blackfest each region had separate results despite this Pokemon blue green still won in every region Cory made a Splatoon 2 headset that made use of the sound splitter that would split the audio coming from the switch in your phone for the one percent of users that use the Nintendo online service for in-game chat the headset could also be bought and worn in game splatoon's final boss features a live performance of Cali Marie with this song being called calamari incantation starting in 2016 Nintendo started putting on Splatoon Holo live concerts with the squid sisters and off the hook the squid sisters aren't sisters they're actually just cousins they're related through their grandfather cap and cuttlefish Captain Carl fish's full name is Craig cuttlefish as of Splatoon 2 Captain cuttlefish is canonically 130 years old which is a lot older than the average lifespan of a squid being three to five years the only new ranked mode to come from Splatoon 2 was clampless and it sucks there was another ranked mode 8 ball that was Data mined which had you try to push a ball to the opposing side's goal before they got into your goal it was never released but could we see this return in Splatoon 3. there was also another ranked mode that appeared in the code called Rocket which would have had you shoot a rocket in the more ink shot into it the higher it would go if you wave at Cali Marie or Pearl and Marina outside the studio they'll wave back the passengers on the deep sea Metro are known as denizens of the deep apparently they're banned from living on the surface the name of the Train's conductor is sea cucumber which is a play on word referencing his species a sea cucumber the species this unnamed character is based off is the Blobfish which was determined as the world's ugliest animal in a 2013 poll before the game launched Nintendo hosted a Splatoon global test fire which players could compete online and get an early feel of the game this global test fire can likely be considered Nintendo's first open Online beta Shifty station was a special map designed for each splatfest in Splatoon 2. they all had a gimmick that made them unique examples include ink rails moving platforms and ink switches the maps were also named after pop culture shows and movies like Gossip Girl Hunger Games and goosebumps after the final splotfest these once lost Maps were made playable in private battle there was also an unused version of Shifty station codenamed box Salmon Run was a mode released alongside the release of Splatoon 2. It could only be played during certain hours mimicking real-life shifts while this was kinda cool it made it pretty annoying when trying to play with friends online so in Splatoon 3 they made it available 24 7. in what is now known as Salmon Run next wave each weapon class has their own hero replica which is used in the games campaign you could unlock any replica weapon for personal use online by completing each level with a particular weapon judder originally lived alongside humans yet his body was Frozen when they were wiped out and now he lives alongside the Inkling Judd isn't just an announcer he actually determines the results of each match with his incredibly gifted vision in Splatoon 2 Judd represents the player's team the character who declares victory for the opponent's team is Little Joe little Judd is not Judd's son but instead an exact clone of Judd Krusty Sean who runs shrimp kicks gives off the appearance of a half fried shrimp however his body is not actually fry rather he is just wearing a jacket that makes him appear that way the owner of Yi old clothing shop from Splatoon 2 is Joe fonso who's the son of jalfonzo who ran Booyah base in the first platoon however Japan's birth is described as splitting off which might make family dinners a bit awkward at first it may seem as though Sheldon wears goggles to protect him as he crafts weapons however he is also said to have very poor vision due to strenuous work with working with tiny weapon parts late at night Mo the clownfish might be the most obnoxious character in Splatoon whenever you buy gear from cooler heads he will berate you and insult you offering a different insult depending on your in-game level Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the first game Splatoon characters appeared in on the switch while Splatoon 2 offers very limited ways of player communication through text there can be other uses for the eaters if a player uses a buoyah bomb teammates can spam Booyah to help charge the special attack faster Splatoon 3's story mode protagonist is called Agent 3.
