A Retsupurae Thanksgiving

[@EpicBlargman]

Its a tradition that i watch this every thanksgiving every year lmao

[@notyoursavior78]

I hadn't thought of this in many Thanksgivings actually but huh someone beat me here to this. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@TheInker]

Super Mario Land has no save function. Literally everybody who beats it does so in one sitting.

[@darkzeno13]

I bet a shitty lp of this exists with savescumming that takes up twenty parts.

[@ninjabuddy1]

My first time playing this was on 3ds and even though I could savescum this game is like 20 minutes long so I never got the chance

[@abrahammitchell515]

You probably dont care but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me.

[@mauricedaxton5230]

@Abraham Mitchell Instablaster =)

[@loudgoat5241]

Happy Thanksgiving proud traditionalists who stopped by here. Only one month until BillyMC's Christmas Adventure.

[@FlameAdder]

The part where he just stands there and watches the mushroom tumble down into the abyss is a perfect visual metaphor

[@strangevision99]

Can he complete a game in one sitting that was designed to be completed in one sitting?

[@vissova]

"What the fuck is this?" "..It's a Starman..?" I don't know why but this gets me every time.

[@trueblueryu5713]

As us old school inhabitants of KZbin come back here again as a thanksgiving tradition, with the knowledge that the channel hasn’t uploaded in over a year, as the creators have personal affairs to deal with, this is still a time to be thankful for the old memories they’ve brought to us. The fake-outs where they riff on videos that point them out, the teenagers trying weird accents, the save-scumming on 90’s games, the guest stars, Billy, Electrical Beast’s temporary rise to Let’s Play fame, and everyone else who either learned from their mistakes and supported Retsupurae, or everyone still bothered by it. The old days of KZbin, both the sub-par lets plays, and the riffs of them, are long gone. But what shouldn’t go away is our community trying to have a good time. To everyone coming back in the next few days, and to Slowbeef and Diabetus, and their families, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@OttersDen]

That was excellent, dude. Well said. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

[@cydonianmystery5193]

Well said indeed. Times may have changed, but we're thankful for the memories they gave us. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@OttersDen]

MST3K and a Retsupurae Thanksgiving: my yearly tradition continues. :)

[@notyoursavior78]

Same. Nice see someone else had the same idea.

[@OttersDen]

@@notyoursavior78 - and this year we get a whole brand new season of MST3K!

[@notyoursavior78]

@@OttersDen I just had time to watch the first episode. Glad to learn of the curative powers of Coca Cola this Thanksgiving! Best part was probably when Jonah thought the MACs exploded near the end. His reaction was priceless. I've been working so I'll have to watch this video here in the later afternoon.

[@OttersDen]

Happy Thanksgiving from 2020, where the ability to still watch Retsupurae videos is one of the few things to be thankful for in this shit year.

[@OttersDen]

Bad news about 2021 and how *that* went, 2020 Otter, but things are GREAT in 2023. Well, not great, pretty much the whole damn world is burning metaphorically or literally, BUT... we can still be thankful this video's still here. 😂 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

[@cutefenns]

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

[@lauramaue]

Watching on Thanksgiving, ten years later. Have a good one, folks!

[@NapoleonWinston]

I think there is something inherently funny about how Betus puts emphasis on the thanks in thanksgiving.

[@tuckman315]

I agree I think it's cute and funny lol

[@kickthepumpkin3701]

I have a tradition where I watch this every Thanksgiving.

[@JeffyLB]

Thanksgiving occured on November 27 in the year 2008. This really is how he spent his Thanksgiving. On a side note, this channel is fantastic

[@FG10sAdventure]

I'm surprised Metroixer made an LP this bad. His Pokémon Blue LP is very good! You've come a long way, Metroixer

[@blaakmage]

every time you succeed i bleed a little thats quite possibly the greatest thing iv ever heard

[@Wigmeister]

Thanks guy, glad to be getting an old fashioned one of these before I went to bed and it is just as good as the other ones for all you naysayers out there

[@SuperCuttyBlackSow]

Watch this every thanksgiving

[@notyoursavior78]

Life uhh sucks now, but I was just thinking about this and how I hadn't seen this in ages. So time to bring a bit of joy to my day for 10 minutes at least because that was the youtube time limit back then ;P

[@Cronocke]

"Dear Let's Players of KZbin. 'Okay' is not a joke." "Okay." Classy.

[@mykneecapshurt]

"it's weird celebrating Thanksgiving and advocating for proletariat revolution over the rich and complete seizure of the means of production. anyways, Mario for gameboy."

[@sephiroth8261]

Happy Thanksgiving, Retsupurae!

[@kbdude8]

Happy thanksgiving everyone. I really like watching retsupurae videos instead of spending time with my family today.

[@the_pinkienator3926]

Don't we all?

[@GruntKilla420]

This man leads the best life ever and I for one am thankful that I heard his voice before I died.

[@MattKC]

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

[@apa123APA]

"You know who you are." HEH! OKAAY!

[@mrspiky56]

apa123APA THERE'S BATMAN, OKAY.

[@notyoursavior78]

It's that time again, another Thanksgiving with Retsupurae. It's coming!

[@Biolizard28]

I'm thankful for this RP.

[@SpyWhoLovedHimself]

Diabeetus is the one that sounds southern, Slowbeef is the one that sounds like the ShamWOW guy. Even as a big fan of Retsupurae over the years I STILL sometimes get muddled with their names and have to think about it for a second...

[@Chiller326]

Wow I can't believe it's been ten years. :,)

[@TheRPArchive]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[@davidt303]

Thanks to Retsupurae for all the laughs!

[@thetortoise4107]

If he meant one sitting as in not using save states and not getting a game over, i guess that's somewhat more impressive than reloading repeatedly

[@Thet]

This is quite a turkey, and I am thankful for it.

[@dzzykzzy8683]

It's not Thanksgiving Eve without a classic RP.

[@Xiaolruc]

"Isn't the Gameboy like, a portable NES?" NOPE. YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR! Seriously, was that guy even listening to himself?

[@notyoursavior78]

This is the new Thanksgiving classic! First thing I thought of today with Thanksgiving being tomorrow.

[@PEZhead5432109876]

Time for my annual tradition. Still can't believe it's already been 5 years.

[@JanitorAntisocial]

2009: Metroixer annoys slowbeef with a SML LP. 2015: Metroixer plays Drawful with slowbeef on the latter's stream and it's all in good fun. A lot can happen in 5 years.

[@tuckman315]

Was this matroixer

[@Ezo945]

"Dear Let's Players of KZbin: okay is not a joke." "Okay."

[@SuperMario16bit]

Post-Cornshaq sounds like a legitimate genre.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

Tis the season everyone! Soon enough we'll be celebrating the Christmas holidays with BillyMC!

[@arcticfox04]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[@hughmungus1501]

Slowbeef 2009: beating a game in one sitting is so dumb 2021: **People streaming games up to 24 hours**

[@wtfisthis57]

One sitting? This kid must have suffered a hemorrhoid.

[@EternalGuardian07]

Watching speed runs and then watching the average RP'd LPer makes my brain hurry

[@sagacious03]

With the exception of what was mentioned at the end of the video, after seeing this, I really can't think of anything to be thankful for.

[@pteroid11]

From being the subject of a vid to having one of the funniest parts of the Pewdiepie video, you've gone a long way, Metroixer.

[@ozarkfannumba1906]

Happy Halloween guys

[@TheLastLineLive]

you been retsupurae'd in one of the best Retsu's in a good while, you gave 'em some good material XD

[@Jaspertine]

This was my first Retsupurae, and possibly still my favourite.

[@EternalGuardian07]

Watching speed runs and then watching the average RP'd LPer makes my brain hurt

[@SakoresDark]

4:33 Not to sound like a nerd here, but he called them donuts because in Mario terminology, the blocks that fall are called "donut plain blocks" or something if I remember right o.O

[@ocarinadreams2395]

man I love this game, I feel like the only person though

[@zitzblitz123]

your not the only one i love it too

[@SpikeRose]

Good or bad, the game becomes borderline unplayable when your used Gameboy starts ghosting worse than Casper on Halloween.

[@zitzblitz123]

lol thats funny and true

[@minuteworld9492]

Spike Rose that's why emulators are the fucking bomb.

[@SpikeRose]

Minuteworld94 Agreed, my PS1/2 games look so much better when I run the disc through an emulator.

[@Rogueofmv]

Happy Thanksgiving, metroixer, whatever game you may be playing today instead of being with your family. I'm thankful for that Let's Horribly Break Pokémon Blue thread you made earlier this year. That was fun.

[@TheQueenieD]

I don't know why, but this playthrough made me rage so hard. I beat this game when I was around 7. This guy can't even hit that one coin block in the first level? It took him three tries to hit ONE BLOCK

[@darkzeno13]

Guy's playing the game at mach speed. If he slowed down a little he'd do better. Super Mario Land is a fairly easy game. He really should've made the jumps where he died.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

To be fair, it is probably possible to finish the game without hitting that one coin block but he's overall very terrible at everything else, too.. :) This was my very first Gameboy game I ever had when I was uhm.. also around 7, 8 or somesuch? I don't remember having had so much trouble with it then either.

[@Aquarivania]

Chris Connell He won't stop holding that fucking B button. It's driving me insane because the game looks like a nightmare the way he plays it.

[@Barrelwood64]

This LPer is one cold turkey! Good thing he took the riff well.

[@metroixer]

Well then, this was a nice start to the day

[@Crazy56U]

8:06 This is the best line.

[@Nordlys]

Finally! Been missing these kind of videos from you for a bit. I'll be thankful for not having thanksgiving over here yet. Sadly, it will probably be popularized along with internationalization. I loved this game. Killed so many batteries with it.

[@zellem]

Dammit Retsu, you're not supposed to depress me! First Billy getting McDonalds for christmas, now this guy?! It's enough to make me want to go cry into some cheetos to show my camaraderie.

[@Disthron]

If finishing a game is not an achievement then nether is running an obstacle course.

[@wolfpackvisual]

Funny thing, the first time I beat this game was on the way home from a christian summer camp.... yea....

[@LazyPotato432]

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for Unregistered Hypercam 2 and SNES9X.

[@7Comic7mischief7]

I am thankful for BillyMC. Did he not do a special?

[@Linkeh24]

Happy thanksgiving, everyone.

[@trashandchaos]

Part of the gameboy's appeal is that it's limited to 4 colors but still had appealing graphics,to an extent.

[@Krkrbs419]

"Oh I'm (insert country nationality) but definitely was born in America, I can't celebrate Thanksgiving." Wow dude...wow

[@ForeverTheSickGamer]

Who can celebrate thanksgiving?

[@Polaf3456]

"I cant celebrate a holiday in which the only real prerequisite is to be thankful for something." I also call bullshit. America definitely is not the only country to celebrate a holiday centered around thankfulness either. Furthermore on that point, "American style thanksgiving" is a holiday in Liberia too.

[@DravenWolfe]

It's an excuse to eat large amounts of food, you wouldn't eat normally through out the year (Minus Christmas). :p . What more of a reason do you need to celebrate it. Just pick a random thing to be thankful for, like the "Mute" button and eat away.

[@SixDeadMice]

Ian Walker we're weird in Canada and celebrate Thanksgiving in October unlike how Americans celebrate it in November.

[@JoeyJ0J0]

Super Mario Land is still fun, I play it every few years.

[@Chifffart]

true story, i was suffering from insomnia when i started watching this lp. not anymore.

[@Chronomaster]

BillyMC would probably be envious of this guy. He's only slightly prone to easily avoidable deaths.

[@Nerdbayne]

billy would walk circles around this guy, until his mom calls him for a McDonalds Thanksgiving dinner.

[@Mintergalactic]

I for one plan on watching this on Thanksgiving.

[@Vyse195]

this is how he spent his thanksgiving

[@TheLastLineLive]

great lulz, metroixer is becoming a legendary LPer

[@TheFryBoy1]

diabeetus, i don't think anyone has ever gotten him an "extra life" on valentine's day

[@Grogum]

I would hope Billy's Summer Camp would also have "Legitimate" Coin Grinding and "Self Defense" Training with LuwiigiMaster, and a 3-hour class with Cornshaq about Narration and Breathing Exercises. Also, everybody goes to McDonalds, but Billy can't have anything...His parents don't want to spoil him, you see.

[@Wote89]

In episode 10 of Retsutalk, around the 62 minute mark, they talk about him. Specifically, though, he was the guy who was, "Someone listened to this and said 'Yeah, I want to date that.'" Episode 10 of Retsutalk is fantastic, by the way.

[@mark2bit]

This is hilarious! NCS mentioned an SMB2 video of yours, and I had to see what he was talking about. Mystery Science Theater with video games, a definite sub.

[@TXFDA]

"The gameboy was pretty much a portable NES". Yep, ok sure yep. Now the Gameboy Color, while still not a portable NES, at least LOOKED closer to an NES with the added color. In my opinion, it was always the tiny screens that kept early Gameboy games from being great. Plenty of NES games still hold up today, but you get that same quality game on a Gameboy Color (like the Zelda games), and they don't hold up nearly as well, because of the tiny screen. Especially when you play them on something like a Super Gameboy or Retron 5, where they're blown up and put on a large screen.

[@howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437]

agreed

[@licentioushowler3400]

+TXF Kind of an old comment, but I actually kind of have to disagree a bit that blowing up Game Boy games on a Super Game Boy looks bad... as long as it's on a CRT... with at least S-video... which 98% of the populace won't be doing... so I guess it still looks pretty bad then in a way. Still, I agree that the screen was _way_ too small for games in general--I think the Zelda games worked around it just fine with very few hiccups, but you can see Nintendo themselves couldn't really get platformers working optimally on it firstly with Super Mario Land: The sprites are ludicrously tiny. Sure, you can see a great distance, but the game looks very unappealing because there's no detail. Then comes their second attempt with Super Mario Land 2; where the sprites are nice and large, but you actually have to concern yourself with a camera now, and to compensate they made _every_ enemy in the game move slow as molasses... ugh. It wouldn't be until Wario Land where I felt like Nintendo finally understood how to make a game work well with that screen, maybe Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters too.

[@FAILGET64]

The hilarious thing is that Metroixer registered an SA account this year and made a horrible Donkey Kong Land 3 LP that he never finished. Someone said that he sounded like one of the guys you used to make fun of in your early RPs.

[@gub550]

Happy thanksgiving fellas

[@AgentDudeman]

"Fighting on the internet is like being in the special Olympics. They don't need to have your god damned approval."

[@Filbi]

I think Princess Daisy turning into a giant fly is more David Cronenberg than David Lynch.

[@OhShitSeriously]

Cronenberg or Japanese cartoon porn, one or the other.

[@Jobbe9]

It's amazing how bad he is at playing Super Mario.. Just amazing.

[@MpUleader]

So yeah one of my friends wants to do a hangout were we just play Super Mario Land on 3DS VC so it has be summer (southern hemisphere) i suggest going to do Timezone instead

[@drygnfyre]

I hope he is able to beat a game that is designed to be beaten in about 30 minutes and offers no save function as a result in one sitting.

[@goblin512]

At first I thought it was Billy's, but then I remembered that Billy is doing Mario Land 2.

[@Xelger]

Heh, now I see. At first I thought you guys were doing KZbin videos again, but this one was on Viddler it seems. Well, as long as it keeps you guys out of trouble, well played.

[@joetri10]

shocked to hear a Dynasty wWrriors joke.. being a hardcore fan of the series, i smiled just because they mentioned it xD...

[@SteveC935]

The makers of the Gameboy chose the 4-color screen for many reasons. The color LCD screens would have sent the launch price skyhigh and the 4-color screens were far cheaper to mass produce. The color LDC screen would have worn the batteries down faster and would have made the unit even bulkier, if I remember right. The higher contrasting of the 4-color screen made it easier to see in less light. So the CPU could handle more colored games, it was set to the 4 color monochrome on purpose.

[@SHOOTANGAEMS]

The GB, however, has a modified Z80 running at 4.19 Mhz, with 8k of RAM and 8k of VRAM. Also, the sound chip is slightly better, with the triangle wave channel on the NES' 2A03 being replaced in the GB's PAPU by a programmable wave channel that can play 32 4-bit programmable samples in sequence--in essence, a 4-bit sampler.

[@akirasingingheart]

I was going to eat Thanksgiving dinner with my family but I decided to watch this Retsupurae Thanksgiving special instead.

[@shukterhousejive]

Holy shit, this is the Pokemon Blue guy? Glad to see he learned his lesson!

[@evillttlimp]

*gets star* *immediately falls into the water*

[@GigaBoost]

Okay... this is just great.

[@ArmoredChocoboLPs]

Game Boy totally did have NES graphics. It was called the game boy color and came out around the time N64 was big. LPer's WISH GRANTED!

[@lich109]

to be fair that freeze frame talk was warranted, since he didn't let go of left and died.

[@planetaryconquest]

All I could think of while watching this was "Aww, dude, four strength four stam leather belt? Ahhhh! Level 19? Ohhhhhhhh!"

[@JanitorAntisocial]

He does. Metroixer is actually a decent LPer in his own right, most famous being one of Pokemon that actually garnered positive reception on Something Awful. Which is quite a feat, considering LPing Pokemon is considered taboo there.

[@GameZella]

A thanksgiving tradition!

[@mortivocifer]

Slowbeef is the one who says "That is a really specious connection" at the beginning, Diabeetus is the other one.

[@WhiteTiger225]

@Crezth Gameboy's graphics were in line withy an odl tiger handheld or Game & Watch, same technology really, just with no game data on the machine itself, instead using a cartridge with its own built in battery, RAM, and Data. What you are seeing on original gameboy is predefined pixels turning on and off.
