Creepy Bad Endings # 57

Bad Endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

Creepy Bad Endings # 58: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppjJcoWhq5qgptE

[@TheInunah]

The worst part is that in most "you have no more continues" screens, you just see a screen and that's it. But in this game YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO CONTROL ROLO AND MAKE HIM GET IN THE CAGE

[@AO-jf5ly]

even happy music can sound sad to me

[@elizabethramirezthezenshii9691]

Yeah, the game doesn't control it for you, you have to force your beloved protagonist deeper into the hands of no hope.

[@Superluigi881]

This did more to me emotionally than anything PETA or any of those fake animal rights groups have put out. I remember child me very reluctantly and slowly edging him towards the cage then immediately crying out and resetting the game once he was in. Despite its cute presentation this game is pure evil. It's long, it's hard and the cute little elephant loses his freedom if/when you fail. And then there's of course that horrible bad ending...

[@princessjoanne4266]

"...and you are never truly happy again" Geez. for such a jolly game that is fucking savage

[@dragon666777]

Jeez, that normal ending is worse than the bad ending in my opinion... Rolo doesn't look too concerned with being trapped in a cage, but being guilt tripped for not rescuing everyone and never being able to be happy again? That's some dark shit. And why does the ringmaster need an elephant anyway, considering all the magic he can apparently do?

[@nesmario123]

because elephants are cute and that plus magic = ultimate profits

[@datdarkbum2260]

1.Steal elephant 2.Magic power 3.???? 4.Profit

[@TheDiego908]

Hey Dark Bum you owe me a soul heart last time you gave me a spider

[@sherrygeorge6079]

[@trentlindsey7401]

It's not magic, it's a joybuzzer..

[@Ravenite456]

"It's just a theory, a stupid fucking theory." Game Theory's original rejected tag line.

[@pepsiman_2051]

rekt

[@yumacrafter]

Ooooh. Nice. And I'm a fan of GT.. not a huge fan, but It's something fun to listen too... I wonder how that would sound..? "It's just a theory... A stupid theory.. BUT A GAME THEORY!" XD I'll shut up now...

[@calbear0697]

Yuma DeSenn YOU LIKE DRAGON BALL GT KILL HIM

[@yumacrafter]

"Her"... ah, I don't care. Also, I don't know/Remember a lot of GT... Mostly the theme.. uuugghh.. I'm sure if I ACTUALLY watch GT(I was mostly skimming it.) I most likely won't like it.

[@yumacrafter]

Just sayin'.

[@SonofTiamat]

Eh, I think you're reading too much into the "Good Ending." It's clear he just became Babar, King of the Elephants.

[@moisespassarelo]

Ew.

[@Mirokukeiiswatching]

that lightning attack looked brutal

[@lazzaroscacerni730]

It's too fast to even predict it but it had the same pattern.

[@lazzaroscacerni730]

Adresadini Exactly. It has the same pattern so it's easy to avoid once know where to place

[@datdairkirbtherobloxgamer3801]

Just go to the corner. It never goes there, like the DVD logo.

[@hobbedgoblin10]

2:15 what I can really appreciate in this song is that it uses the 4th and 5th chords to sound like it’s waiting on you, and then it turns to a minor key when you have no continues left to sound sadder.

[@pokevillainconnoisseur1356]

I have a weirdly depressing theory. So, the first ending shows how Rolo got to his mom without saving his friends, and him not truly being happy. The second ending shows that Rolo grew up and had a kid, right? He told his story of the evil circus. Now looking back at ending one. Is it possible that Rolo, never truly being happy, maybe comitted suicide and thats why he didn't grow up to tell the story, in the second ending?

[@jasegaming6616]

AYO WHAT

[@user-wu8nr7pd1x]

WHAT

[@roadkill_52]

LOL WTF

[@dylanogg347]

That's a good theory. It's dark but oddly fitting for this game.

[@carlesnoguerabarbany3345]

Woah, that game over screen was so damn depressing, I don't even know that damn elephant, but I still prefer that he's happy after conquisting the world over him entering to the cage with that music on

[@JP54704]

The Git's theories are the best theories arround

[@gotpooch3334]

Git's theorys are the only one's.

[@MrRatchet12661]

2 in price of 6.

[@Zulk_RS]

Out of all of them, the Bart Simpson theory is my favorite.

[@ultima2399]

JP do Ó That be the truth!

[@KokoroKatsura]

A N I M E N I M E

[@lazzaroscacerni730]

...or maybe it's like in Babar the Elephant where elephants and humans live together. Nice GameTheory parody in the end lol

[@ExtremeWreck]

Yeah, I was thinking of Babar. Gee, haven't watched that show in forever.

[@azzarox6661]

"But hey, that's just a theory, a fucking stupid theory" Every Matpat video ever.

[@bananatiergod]

azzarox6661 The Fifty Shades of Grey theory was pretty good, though.

[@NotBenStiller]

No it wasn't.

[@RobotwarsKing]

I don't know if it's just me, but the Continue Screen for this game really reminds me of the one from the original _Rayman_ (1995) on the PS1 -- where you've got the dark, depressing Mr Dark-themed iconography and graffiti on the left-hand side that Rayman walks towards if he runs out of lives (and ultimately dies at if he does run out of Continues), sort of like how here, you've got no choice but to walk into the Ringmaster's cage to end the game when the same thing happens.

[@Igorcastrochucre]

So THAT'S the inspiration for Tembo the Badass Elephant, a platformer where you control an elephant rescuing soldiers in a battlefield.

[@zeroomega3781]

hey fullvault, don't talk as if the Vietnamese were the invaders. During Vietnam War the US soldiers were the invaders, not the Viets

[@elsamaria2999]

Huh, almost expected the Mother elephant to be shot in the 100% ending.

[@karma6970]

Yeah, on the Good ending when it flashed, I thought "Did the mother get shot or something?"

[@bananatiergod]

"Congratulations! You escaped from the evil circus master and returned home to your mother!" Me: Woohoo! I did it! "However, the fact that you did not rescue all the friends trapped in cages remains on your conscience and you are never truly happy again." Me: Wait, WHAT?? So why's the happy music still going?! D8< And who the FUCK is David Attenborough??

[@RiukuCresent]

David Attenborough was one of the most famous wildlife experts in the world, and was in many different documentaries, from the black and white movie era to about a decade ago.

[@bananatiergod]

RiukuCresent Ohhhh! Now I get it! Thanks for the info! ^^

[@whoisthisgit]

Also, his brother was Richard Attenborough, who is best known for playing Hammond in Jurassic Park.

[@bananatiergod]

whoisthisgit Didn't he also play Dracula in Van Hellsing? Or was it someone else? ^D^' Oh wait, just realised it's Richard Roxburgh. Whhooops. XD

[@neonskylite2242]

He still makes documentaries today. In 2015 I remember he had Life Story, about many elements in the animal kingdom (politics, courtship, etc.) and in 2016 he did The Hunt, about predators. 2014 he had Life, which focused on one demographic of animals each episode. (I remember one was about fish, the other deep sea critters) so he does work today despite being 90! (I live in NSW, Australia for reference so I watch what they broadcast there.)

[@rainbowstreak9615]

I think the neutral ending might be the worst one. "You are never truly happy again"...a little too real, don't you think?

[@whoisthisgit]

I've changed to Impact font for this video, but I'm not feeling 100% about it. I think it's easier to read than Grilledcheese, but it also looks a bit on the ugly side.

[@spongbobsquarepants3922]

I like the old one better than this one.

[@PHsReplays]

Grilledcheese was much nicer too look at than the overused Impact that should honestly stay in the memes and never come out of that... place.

[@mattverhoeven9837]

go back to GC

[@andreyxp97g]

GC dude

[@jjsoupsworth]

Grilled Cheese was a pretty lit font, I recommend that you keep using it.

[@broadwaydavekat6640]

"deadly boss fight to the death" Amazing sentence.

[@smoke072]

I'm sure glad I didn't see that bad ending when I was a kid, probably would have scarred me life seeing that screen. Luckily never beaten the game though :p

[@Pignoragliaglio]

I'm glad that i played this game at my twenties. If i finished it as a kid, i don't know how much the bad ending would have traumatized me. (probably it wouldn't because i didn't learn english yet back then). And the good ending is good, please don't overthink it. Btw, if you're wondering David Attemborough is the lead programmer of the game

[@TheRid16]

huh? Now I am confused, is this a Japanese-made or English-made game?

[@Pignoragliaglio]

It's from Electronic Arts, released in EU and US in 1992, imported to Japan in 1993

[@TheRid16]

Pignoragliaglio Thanks for info

[@Exorian]

I'm not sure Rolo overthrowing humanity is necessarily a bad thing. I mean, you saw that ringmaster? Shooting lasers from his palms? Having enough telekinetic control to make balls fly at you like bees? HURLING COPIES OF HIS OWN HEAD AT YOU?! HUMANITY IS ALREADY OFF THE DEEP END YO! WE'RE MONSTERS!

[@dylanogg347]

"WE'RE THE LUNATICS!"

[@lauregami]

i think the real twist that makes the best ending sad is that "the time that Rolo met David Attenborough" is clearly for some kind of nature documentary. in the end Rolo can't escape his body being put on display for the amusement of others, whether it is performance or film.

[@NOTHlNG]

7:25 I guess you're so obessed with bad endings, you tend to turn even neutral endings into bad ones in your Lub-Lub fantasy. You should try writing creepypastas. ;)

[@janehuskmann1914]

Well, elephants never forget and all...

[@UnbornDecay]

You've been doing this since 2010?! Holy crap. Found you after looking up the Sonic CD hidden message and the bad ending. Guess I have a new favorite underdog KZbinr now.

[@guilhermedias3488]

god dammit it's babar, it's freaking babar.

[@guilhermedias3488]

babar is a cartoon about an intelligent elephant

[@UnforgivingCold]

Babar - a cartoon about an intelligent elephant(source: Guilherme Dias) Akbar - pretty much only used in ''Allahu Akbar'', which is a running ''''''joke'''''' when an explosion happens and stuff because everybody knows ISIS represents all of the muslims.

[@UnforgivingCold]

Yes they do say it, also Allahu Akbar means ''God is great.'' But it's becoming a trend to use Allahu Akbar whenever a terrorist attack or an explosion in video happen, they often point to that timeline and say ''Allahu Akbar''(or a butchered version), and yeah that's what's annoying me.

[@FiveFoxesInATrenchcoat]

Guilherme Dias Same.

[@cheesewizard3965]

5:40 elephants never forget

[@ShadowStarkiller]

Oh my god! I had vague memories of playing this game on Sega Channel, but I could never remember the name, and so couldn't try it again. Thank you so much, git! Even if Rolo's never truly happy again, I am!

[@feiwong3634]

Back in the day we never got to the end, the game is fcking hard!

[@oldstoic3154]

Exactly! I could never complete this game as a kid.

[@DarkAtom7500]

How can an elephant even jump? It still makes me wonder.

[@dramaticexit5437]

DarkAtom7500 Because an elephant can't jump.

[@ilikecurry2345]

It's a video game. Don't question it.

[@lamptrent]

@The #1 Runaway Guys Fan Looking for people to accept that challenge.

[@richardgibson8403]

DarkAtom7500 Yeah!Elephants are the ONLY MAMMAL THAT CANT JUMP!

[@Bobsican]

What if the gravity in the game´s world is lower than in our world?

[@manganistDIMITRI]

I don't even Know why I love this channel, I didn't even grew up with These games. my childhood was the ps2,Not these 2d sprite heavy games.

[@Joe_334]

eh, you probably should have left the part with the fire truck, to the "leave my ears alone" vids lol...

[@ishmael1956]

Oh god that game always gave me the creeps,maybe now i know why

[@TheDiego908]

80% of Genesis games give me the creeps and I also don't know why. Maybe it's because of the uncanny valley-ishness most of these have along with the music

[@TheDiego908]

I meant "uncanny-valley-ishness". So much stuff on the Genesis either looks off-model or it's just me not liking the artstyle. Dynamite Headdy is a perfect example for me (along with those weird voice clips). At least the Genesis can certainly still have its moments with the soundtracks

[@VincentHernandez2121]

7:58 Why did I read that last sentence with MatPat's voice on my head? Ugh...

[@dgplex]

And if you're good, I'll tell you about the time I killed--Er--met David Attenborough.

[@HilariousOperation]

Well, gotta admit, wasn't expecting the game to suddenly reference David Attenborough...

[@HistoricaHungarica]

1:18 now i have an urge to listen to the entire AoE soundtrack... Thanks Git.

[@HistoricaHungarica]

Also: i died of laughter at 7:59.

[@PauloClassicStyle]

im just so glad i subscribed to this channel

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Oh, my god, I'm laughing now but if I was eight and I saw that I would have nightmares about it. Dude! That's way too grim of an ending for a kid's game!

[@ultima2399]

This video is a year old now. Can't believe it's been a whole year.

[@angrycinnabon2956]

Time flies.

[@basketbomberslackingson4417]

I kind of expected the game to want you to save EVERY animal

[@dmas7749]

Limited continues...good god am I glad that trope is mostly dead nowadays.

[@UnknownWhispers401]

This game breaks the laws of physics. Elephants can’t jump and here Rolo is, jumping around. Does this mean Rolo.. might not be real…?

[@cannon9009]

The only thing I could think when I herad the good ending music: AAAAH JESUS CHRIST MAKE IT STOP! IT BUUUUUURNS! AH JESUS MY EARS ARE BLEEEEEEEDIIIIIING MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

[@oldstoic3154]

The music awesome though?

[@medijate]

The music in this game sounds really fucking good for some reason. Like, almost as if this game was made by someone who had some pretty fucking good knowledge of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive's music...system. How is it that this "at least this is what looks like a kids game" have a fucking kickass final boss track?

[@Ykskolme]

And I though elephant were the only animals that weren't able to jump...

[@keirontravis]

oh cool, the Official Font™ of this channel is called "Grilled Cheese". My favourite~

[@FoxMan_FF]

Oh, hey, it's this game! I've never seen the original game before- I've only known it from a Russian bootleg that changes the character into that Owen Wilson deer from Open Season. Man, that is a delightfully bleak ending if the game isn't 100% completed.

[@TheMysticCore]

Tembo the badass Elephant: the begining

[@endeityloon136]

"You're never truly happy again! :)"

[@NotBenStiller]

What, can't sentient elephants and humans co-exist peacefully after destroying circuses? Git, are you racist to elephants?! I'm SO blogging about this!

[@thedreamcatcherOMG]

[@ls190v2]

Get in that cage, Rolo. No, I don't care that you have 4 continues left, get in the cage. Don't make me push you.

[@JCX4801]

😂

[@seanmyster6]

Who else had to google David Attenborough?

[@OutlawMantis]

I'd have thought nearly everyone knows who he is. He narrates so many nature documentaries that are broadcast worldwide.

[@ashcyr3711]

I've seen plenty of his work, and that best ending with Rolo/Babar telling a bedtime story and then suddenly mentioning Attenborough made me crack up, it was so funny.

[@ExtremeWreck]

@@OutlawMantis Well, most people who watch these videos don't watch nature documentaries, so saying that is kind of offensive.

[@snowowl4506]

Hey Git, cool font and all, but I find Grilledcheese better. I've watched your videos since 2007, and I think this a bit on the ugly side. I mean hey, glad you did that actually, something new is always cool. Just my opinion though.

[@ultimatehamsandwich734]

For me I dont hate the new font but its different and I dont like change

[@geoserenity]

anyone else wanting a series called stupid fucking theories now?

[@denpadolt9242]

All you need is to subscribe to Matpat.

[@geoserenity]

Satanic Muppet it was more a joke. Plus I'm kinda at a limit of how many gaming channels I can possibly watch in a day

[@pingu4938]

Speedrunners trap if I've ever seen it.

[@gameslash6208]

Game Over Ending: Trapped w/o reaching mother and the animals. Bad Ending: Reached mother w/o rescuing all animals. Good Ending: Reached mother with all animals rescued. The “ending” scheme is similar to Undertale’s. The game over ending represents genocide. The bad ending represent neutral and the good ending represents pacifist. In the game over ending you have COMPLETELY failed to save everyone and reach your mother. In genocide, you have COMPLETELY wiped out an entire race of monsters. In the bad ending, you have reached your mother and have freed some of the animals but not all of them. In neutral, you have killed some monsters but not all of them. In the good ending, you have reached your mother and have freed ALL the animals. In pacifist, you have spared all the monsters and are now living in the surface. Seems pretty connected to me.

[@iamlucidess]

Fun fact: Elephants can't jump.

[@terrariaskeletonpre1.0.39]

the 2nd sad ending caught me off guard, like really? you didn't save everyone so this happy little elephant has depression now? jesus...

[@Solibrae]

Hmm...this game is strangely familar to me. Maybe I played it once a very long time ago! You certainly have a knack for finding or knowing about some obscure games.

[@gummigamer4614]

Is nobody going to mention the fact that this random ass game mentioned David attenbrough

[@AnonymousWaifuGamer]

4:20 - TL;DR: Congratulations, you've completed the game. But since you haven't accomplished the main game task, you doomed your protagonist to feel guilty for the rest if his life. Deal with it. (Just to make things even worse: elephants have their lives long.) 7:05 - Are you sure... that you are not overthinking this...?

[@Aeavymetal666]

I hate the bad ending to this game cuz even tho you saved your mother, then tells you forgot to save your friends... Better question, Whos more important in your life, Your parents or your friends?

[@theSato]

Hard to believe that Creepy Bad Endings has had 57 installments thus far.. as far as a font goes, Impact is pretty decent in terms of thickness and overall legibility, but the spacing is a bit annoying. I'd suggest just using bold on a different sans-serif font - my personal favorite is just "Microsoft Sans Serif" - shown here: ttfonts.net/modules/waterfall.php?font=26205_MSReferenceSansSerifBold.ttf Alternatively you could just add everything as Closed Captions to let people choose their own font settings, but I can see how that'd be a pain and risk breaking everything.

[@lourdinemichel1054]

Jesus, this game takes a dark turn, whether it be continue screen or the bad ending

[@bimbotimboful]

To be honest, while watching it, I had the same thoughts as you about the good ending

[@starshkr46]

at first I thought that was Dumbo but I realized it's not a Disney game😅

[@gameslash7898]

I can understand why

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

7:30 I'm getting those Barbar vibes bro.

[@AO-jf5ly]

The no more continues music is even sadder with the door closed

[@zeldasmetaknight]

Good video there sir, for another CBE maybe Abe's oddworld?

[@LennyWhatever2]

this game has such an eerie vibe and idk why

[@NunofYerbizness]

For a second, I thought that in the good ending, you swapped the ending for that of a Babar game. Did I mention the graphics look like they came out of James Pond?

[@NunofYerbizness]

(checks Wikipedia and sees Rolo is made by the same people that made James Pond, and is also part of the James Pond series) Well NOW I feel fuckin' stupid.

[@supremetrapxex]

Even though I never played rolo before, I still find the text saying you will never be truly happy ever again to be kinda dark for me in my opinion.

[@KrashHash]

Godammit Git, again with the over thinking! Jk good video man

[@idkany293]

Guessing the old font is there because this game is about elephants, and since the original version of Lub Lub was an elephant, it feels fitting to go back to the old days for once?

[@lunareclipse2401]

the music in this game tho

[@christianboyce2070]

It’s even darker as Dumbo.

[@dylanogg347]

[@hana-ng4ql]

What a blessing. a git video!

[@chyanneparker6779]

That is dark if rolo friends were abuse

[@notspider-man7777]

The way Rolo to the Rescue is structured reminds me of Banjo Kazooie.

[@dr.velious5411]

The sound effects and music are awful, even as someone who enjoyed the soothing tones of Sonic Spinball's screaming tesla coils, that's a bit too much.

[@partybunny_twich2egg111]

I love the good ending theme! It's awesome :)

[@iregretsomeofmypreviouscom3284]

Lol i played this game as a kid. Never completed it.Also you should do a Creepy Bad Ending to "Eversion" is another cutesy game that changes to Dark and creepy.

[@unfunnyytchannel6090]

oh okay.

[@naranciaisbestboi125]

He could also do a creepy good endings for that one.

[@gemmacullis4128]

And rolo to the rescue is a horror game

[@extaticblue]

Nice matpat reference at the end

[@Invidente7]

or maybe it takes place in babar's country? that sounds more plausible than an apocalypse

[@radnanaroid7378]

Git, you've brought a lot of games to light with your hard work. I never bothered to look this game and now I've been enlightend! I think I've seen a game that sorta parallel this one in the feel of its endings. If it interest you: check out ELF for the amiga. You won't be disapponted.

[@mr.a7662]

Jesus Christ with the laser already!

[@XOctavius1984]

Well, it is an elephant that can jumps fairly high for what he is and defeats his foes like Mario defeats Goombas. I wouldn't offer any resistance against that. xD

[@luizpaulo45]

Maybe, this game is in the same universe of the cartoon Babar.

[@1samper122]
