[@gabcard2767]

The sims referece is actually a bit deeper than that. The guard was going to unlock the door, but the hat was on the way. In The Sims, sims can't perform actions if there is something in the way, even if it's something as insigniricant as a hat or a small plant. The qoute he says afterwords is very similar to the one sims use in this exact scenario.

[@starlockesquad6866]

And then after that the sims usually feel like doing what they desire, which in this case is shoot henry

The part where Henry shoots everybody with the mini gun but Reginald kinda reminds me of that scene in the matrix where Neo shoots through a window with a mini gun attached to a helicopter and somehow doesn’t shoot Morpheus who is in the room Neo is shooting at.

[@Pikaman20008]

Another thing I’m surprised you didn’t mention is that Right Hand Man refers to his Spirit in his original vocal dialogue as “Time In A Bottle” rather than Bottled Time like in the subtitles . Time In A Bottle is the name of an actual song, much like how many Stands in Jojo are named after music references. Also Reference’s original name “Tribute” might also be a reference to the Tenacious D song of the same name, but that I’m less sure of

[@RasmusVJS]

Nah, this is just a tribute. You gotta believe me.

Seeing the multiverse ending for the first time made my heart melt. My brothers and I LOVED these games as kids (we had a mission to take screenshots of every possible fail, just because we thought they were that funny) and have loved them all these years. When I first learned of this final installment I immediately texted them to see if they’d heard about it too, and it was like we were kids again. I cannot even begin to verbalize how enormous of a labor of love this final game was on Puff’s part, and to him I will be ever grateful for so many fun memories and a collection of awesome games, but I’d like to thank you, too, because to say that your Finding the References videos were not also labors of love would be a complete lie. Thank you, Graeme, for the incredible work you’ve put into doing this series justice, for Puff, for yourself, and for all of us. I can’t imagine taking on a project like this, but your dedication to the series is evident through each video you’ve made about it. I hope that when people even years from now are playing the Henry Stickmin Collection (because I don’t expect this kind of game to go forgotten) and they come to KZbin looking for more content that they find your videos and enjoy them as much as we all have. Keep up the great work!! Looking forward to what you do next. :)

That's all so very very sweet. Thank you so much for sharing June :)

[@M644theawesome]

The Simlish he speaks is a reference to when an item is in the way to do an action, like how the hat was in his way, they stop doing what you ask and do something else. The G-Inverter looks so familiar but i dont know where I've seen it before

Blade Forme and the turning of a prosthetic arm into a sword makes me think of Fullmetal Alchemist, but I’m not sure if that was intentional. Anyways, I loved this series!

[@UnsungUnderground]

The song henry plays with the flute sounds a lot like the song played in almost every zelda game when you play that flute and in super mario bros 3

[@Howureadis]

Yeah I always hear the whistle from Mario Bros. 3 during that option

[@thedillpickleman015]

8:33 while I do see the reference, I feel like it could be more towards My Hero Academia. Mostly the scene from the first season where Izuku Midoriya (Deku) uses his quirk for the first time towards the giant robot for his training. Especially during the end of the scene where Deku almost fell to his death. But at the same time it’s hard to know which is the more direct reference so in the end I just say it’s a mixture of both.

12:34 I think it's a mix-up. The bird is indeed a reference to A Link to the Past, but the flute itself and the melody come from the first Legend of Zelda game. Thing is, in the original game, it was a tornado. The bird only came in ALTTP

[@egg1899]

38:27 You missed the baseball bat fail, most likely a reference to baseball in general but it could be a reference to Ness's baseball bat in smash, which also reflects projectiles.

Yep, pretty sure it's a Smash reference. I was quite surprised when he didn't mention it

[@chozetsureal]

yeah. That makes the most sense.

[@supersp9450]

I'm pretty sure the bat is SO similar to the bat in TF2.

[@schweppley1614]

It’s a combo reference, Ness’ bat famously reflects projectiles in smash, but it’s styled more after Scout’s bat in TF2. And of course the fail text “home run” is just a reference to baseball, as hitting a homerun means to hit the ball out of the playable field, scoring all runners on base.

[@2leftthumbs]

45:26 I have no idea what Sumoni is? Like, it's just SO dramatically wrong from Suomi... Usually I "Duplicate" other text files, then edit them (it's easier than making formatted text from scratch each time). And I have to guess that I poorly edited some other text file in that moment? Because I have NO idea how I got it THAT wrong otherwise.

I think that Henry death, where he gets shot and the background turns red, is meant to be a reference to the insta-kill ability from Persona 5.

[@RedstoneBuilder5938]

The "Heart" icon in the RPD+PD route is actually a rough outline of the Majora's Mask from the Zelda series. Also, since i am a dirty weeb, i have to note that the "Sands Of Time" Spirit possesed by The Right Hand Man is a reference to the spirit of the main antagonist from the third part of JoJo. On the other hand, Henry's spirit, Reference/Tribute, is a dual reference to both the spirit of the primary sidekick of JoJo part 4 and the main character's spirit from JoJo part 6.

24:00 Actually it’s kind of the other way around, the lagswitch basically stops the flow of internet to your console or pc which in some online games can heavily desynchronise your character and allow for invincibility and the like, as well as perceivable lagging of your character, thus the name.

If you are looking for references you missed, in FtC during Convict Allies route, you didn’t know what Henry’s weird rapid back-and-forth movement was during THE KNEE option. This is a technique in Smash Bros., wavedashing, mainly used to either mix up your opponent or taunt them. Also, the Baseball Bat option in Revenged is probably a reference to Ness in Smash Bros., who’s forward smash, a swing of a baseball bat, can reflect projectiles coming at him.

This means that Henry couldn't of gotten the cupcake at the tavern which, unless Charles decided to pick up some snacks in SBO (Which, honestly, he would) and chose that exact tavern *and* that exact cupcake, which all together is kinda unlikely. So, we can assume that Henry probably got this before he got kidnapped, and given the shelf life of an iced cupcake is only a few days, and said cupcake was still fresh enough for Henry to eat it and for it to be described as good enough to be "Worth" in SBO, he most likely got it right before said kidnapping. Given this, may I propose that Henry was at a bakery and/or a cafe before the events of Fleeing the Complex in pretty much every timeline, ordered (maybe with a four-finger discount depending on the route) that specific cupcake, and then got captured by the Wall before he could eat it, and proceeded to forget about it due to the insanity that followed.

12:20 The bird is definitely from _A Link to the Past,_ but it _sounds_ to me like Henry's making an evidently passable attempt at the Warp Whistle tune from _The Legend of Zelda_ and _Super Mario Bros. 3._

[@blake_playzgachaandmore4063]

The “just like the old times” fail text is probably saying that Henry’s plans/fails are poorly thought out And also maybe Henry is multiverse hopper due to the Charles fail

[@leguichettravel1599]

That saying is also found on some Call of Duty games.

Henry's flute playing is a mix between Link to the Past and the Mario 3 Warp Whistle. The way he plays sounds like an extremely poor rendition of the warp theme from that game. The bird though, is from LoZ. In the scene with RHM and Henry together, theres a Toppat and Government Agent fighting, it reminds me of those Red and Blue robot fighting toys, as seen in Toy Story 2 That is indeed specifically Lakitu's Cloud, normal ones don't break Wait wdym Instagram is the same? He says Insgram. Patreon is the one that doesn't change That Bat in the RHM battle looks suspiciously similar to Scouts Stock Bat Maybe its just me, but I find it fitting "Madd Ladd" is the edgy counterstrike kid who drinks monster Timothy Turners bio says he used to have imaginary friends, you probably didn't actually "miss" that one with it being on the screen for so long, but in the unlikely scenario someones never heard of FOP, it is a callout to Cosmo and Wanda People still make plenty of insertnamehere2012 jokes, with the Gonzales brothers specifically, Soundsmith is probably as much as you'll get Teemo Souni's bio kind of seems riffing on stereotypes of the finnish and swedish, commonly seen in Pyrocynicals videos ....You just gonna let Demoman slip past you there? anyways nice vid as per usual

32:37 This is also a remix of "Gangsta 4 Lyfe", which I believe they used for the Badass Bust-Out ending in the HSC version of Escaping the Prison. 37:28 This could also specifically parody how the main villains of many parts of Jojo tend to have stand abilities that involve time manipulation, and more specifically resembles Dio's The World, which can stop time. 37:43 This also plays a melody that sounds a lot like the opening bars of "Roundabout", which was used at the end of episodes of parts 1 and 2 of the anime adaptation. While future parts would use different ending themes, this one in particular was memed to hell and back, recreated over countless videos over something suspenseful happening. Ironically, the music doesn't actually sync up to the arrow and greyscale in the anime the way it does in the memes, or this scene, or at least not often.

Blade forme is incredibly likely to be a fullmetal alchemist reference with his metal arm turning into a knife and the whole replaced limbs with metal deal mirroring automail from the same series

[@blightedadmiral7006]

I always thought the ttyd “style” reference was ttyd, but I wasn’t sure so I just thought it was some JRPG reference.

[@alphatheintern6565]

16:25 In RPE+CA, the fail text after doing nothing is likely a reference to The Magic Schoolbus. “Seatbelts, everyone!” Is the first line in the intro, and is one of Ms. Frizzle’s most iconic lines.

"There are probably no ruby's to collect in his world" @2 Left Thumbs, did you forget about the Romanian Ruby on the airship?!

So, I believe there's a Easter egg back in Stealing the Dimond. If you look closely at the keys in the beginning, my fellow Hollow Knight fans might see it. The pattern almost looks EXACTLY like the elegant key from Hollow Knight

Big Boy also seems to be a *minor* reference to the Bradley troop carrier, as it's commonly known for having an excessive amount of features and weapons on it, despite just being an armored personnel carrier.

I loved this series, I’ve watched every episode, rip

There was a unused ending for the walkthrough

Rub some butter on it is almost certainly a refrance to my childhood (and the music video) "rub some bacon on it"

[@toonterraminegamer1234]

It’s amazing how many references this game has. I can’t believe they fit them all in, even if some are so subtle or unnoticeable. It’s one of the things that make this game so great. Props to you for finding so many! I’m sure there may be a few that you missed, but what do I know about that.

[@Bradinator]

YAYYYY!!!
