This video’s *Ring the Bell* rating: 6/10 Solid execution and good combination with the Kirby game comment bait, but it was missing a fair amount of enthusiasm that Wadi usually puts in there. Also my favorite Kirby game is Squeak Squad that game goes hard

[@aperson9576]

I was waiting for this sort of quiz. I can't wait for the second quiz where they mix up a FE spirit with xenoblade or something unless it's Esam looking at one of the sprits from fe7.

It would be funny if they put Jin or Malos from Xenoblade 2 and they all say final fantasy because the same artist did art for the villains in XC2 and for the FF series.

[@coopertheodore7894]

The one constant in any Panda quiz is nobody having any clue what's in Xenobalde, and as a fan, I'm here for it. Also, very proud of getting 16 right. I guess all that time max leveling every spirit in the game paid off. (Didn't realize you got extra points for guessing the name. In that case I would have got way more points)

1:10 Nihilego is inspired by jellyfish, with its body made of glass to contrast the soft bodies of real jellyfish (which is probably why it is a rock type with poison as a jellyfish).

[@mipho5899]

For Esam, Nihilego is Rock because it is a mirror, represented by it's pitiful Physical Defense but incredible Special Defense, similar to how a Mirror breaks easily after strong physical contact but reflects any magical moves. Also referencing it being a parasite, mirroring someone after taking them over and also looking similar to Lillie, one of the most important characters in the Alola games (and even has a similar personality), who has many connections to Ultra Beasts. And Poison type because it's a Jellyfish who inject poison. So basically it's a Poisonous Parasite Mirror Jellyfish.

[@Despots_Blitz86]

I got Pet half right because I thought it was frisbee dog from Wii Sports Resort, and the Yoshi clown was the only one I didn't know. Do more of these! It's really satisfying when you know the really obscure ones.

19 points, definitely a fun one. Playing so many of these series, and playing world of light a few times, looking at my spirits and going on the spirit board definitely helped.

Trying to play along for this one. Lets see how it goes. 1. Nihilego (Pokemon) 2. Fairy (Zelda?) ..(oh.. pac-man.. sure.) 3. Pikmin? 4. Madame Couture (Zelda, Triforce heroes, she make the funny noise and has nice song) 5. Banjo Kazooie? 6. Megaman? (Oh.. i didn't play mother/earthbound series) 7. Kirby? (oh.. mario? wait huh..) 8. Xenoblade? (oh i didnt play kid icarus either) 9. Metroid? (wild guess based off sprite tbh) 10. Kirby, seems like a given, phew. 11. Zelda? Oh.. i didnt play many FF games LOL 12. Star Fox finally, a game i played. 13. Nintendogs? LOL IDK.. oh wii fit 14. Zelda? just based off sprite. 15. Mario game definitely.. the eyes... wait hold up its splatoon 16. Wario game? 17. Paper mario-game? ..oh yoshi welp 18. Xenoblade? ..wait its metroid OKAY THEN 19. Fire emblem? oh metal gear 20. literally no clue ngl. oh it was earthbound again sadge Got 8. well not great.

[@loganmadson5465]

I've grinded spirits mode for so many hundreds of hours. Not only did I unlock every spirt, I got a perfect high score by rematching every single spirit without a spirit myself. Twice. I got 32/40 and was simultaneously disappointed at how low my score was and how high my score was.

[@marcvandeven8266]

Ayo, got all of 'em. Mad respect to WaDi, just by sheer luck and artistic contemplation he got 11.

[@OriginalGameteer]

I've spent too much time in the spirit list lol I immediately recognized every spirit and almost all their names The only names I didn't get were Madame Coutoure and Paz

[@zeospark9715]

Also I'm glad they all thought that Young Samus looked like she came from Resident Evil like I did. She looks so much like Rebecca Chambers lol

[@jjslide1]

I think you should put in a few easier spirits like dark matter and mokiwi for the next quiz. Or at least start out with easier ones like that then then progressively get harder and maybe the last two are from games not represented in smash like rhythm heaven. I think thats the way to make these quizzes better for both the players and us guessing at home.

[@wilben8570]

They did include Dark Matter, though.

[@OriginalGameteer]

@@wilben8570 I belive Dark Matter was an example of "do more of this" because Mockiwi was also already used A few spirits that are probably less of a "what IS this?". Though a number of series are not too different so knows how that'd turn out

I got 12 points. Nihilego and Little Birdie for double points. This was a fun quiz to participate in.

[@Tobi-hq3xe]

Wadi, i got you. City trial is absolute fire 🔥

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Okay, let's see if I can remember any of these! Supercorrect: Nihilego - Pokémon (Fairly softballish if you played Gen 7, but otherwise probably not.) EVE - Mother (I needed this one after a lot of swings and misses!) Dreambert - Mario (I even got the name right! I was kinda reaching into the recesses for this one, NGL.) Young Samus - Metroid (I would NOT be surprised for people to miss this, because Other M has definite pariah status.) Dark Matter - Kirby (I wasn't sure if this was Dark Matter or Dark something else, but I went with the only complete guess I had.) Ifrit - Final Fantasy (Took me just a moment, but then I remembered that FF does have spirits in this game.) ROB 64 - Star Fox (You CAN'T have played Star Fox 64 without remembering them.) Little Birdie - Metroid (MEAN quiz creator using only Other M characters because no one thinks about Other M. This is baby Ridley, by the way.) Ness's Father - Earthbound (If you've played Earthbound, you know.) Correct: Mockiwi - Pikmin (I don't know the Pikmin franchise well enough for names, but it had a very Pikmin design.) Lurchthorn - Kid Icarus (I recognized it as a stage hazard on Reset Bomb Forest.) Byrne - Zelda (From one of the toony ones, recognizable art style, but I couldn't tell you his name.) Super Sea Snail - Splatoon (It looks like a Mario mushroom, and I remember THINKING that it was one when I first saw it.) Spirit WLS - Yoshi (WaDi's right, the art style is very Yoshi series.) Incorrect: Mother Fairy - Pac-Man (I thought it was an old design of the Great Fairy from Zelda.) Madame Couture - Legend of Zelda (Just didn't have enough memory of this one, I also guessed Warioware.) Buzzbomb - Banjo-Kazooie (I thought it was DKC. In fairness, same devs and there was a good bit of design overlap.) Pet - Wii Fit Plus (I guessed Pup and Nintendogs. I like to think I was close...most will probably disagree.) Fronks - Warioware (Ah, I shoulda not dismissed that so quickly. I guessed some Mii series game.) Paz - Metal Gear Solid (Agh, I thought it was Persona because I couldn't think of a good matching series!) Score: 23 - Respectable! Maybe could've been better, but most of my misses were from games I haven't played and series I'm not as familiar with. Nicely done, WaDi, especially reading visual context cues - even though some of them were off, the ideas were largely sound. ESAM, have you EVER PLAYED a video game other than Smash?! Like, I'd expect this score from Little Z.

And funny thing, I believe in Earthbound Ness's father was away at work the whole game and you'd only call him on the phone to handle money. You never actually saw him, he only existed as an option on the phones. Guess he canonically is the phone now, like that one guy from FNAF.
