We have a complete remaster of the most beloved Flash series of all time, Henry Stickmin! I thought it would be fun to peel back the layers of the Henry Stickmin Collection, seeking out references, callbacks, secrets, easter eggs and more!
These games are JAM packed with references. So it's no small task!
The Henry Stickmin Collection on Steam ► store.steampowered.com/app/10...
I am steadily working my way through the entire collection, trying to find every juicy little detail Puff snuck in there! This video is specifically on Infiltrating the Airship.
In addition to references, I also look at secrets, achievements, secrets, and more - as well as any especially neat Character Bios!

So I found a cool little detail in ITA. So in the “Pure Blooded Thief” path after you choose “leap” Reggie goes on the loudspeaker and says “Sorry everyone we had to deploy some basic maneuvers, a flock of ducks flew by.” Then in the “Government Supported Private Investigator” path if you fail the QTE in the room with the option “Spook” Charles says “Oh man that duck flew right into the propeller, oh what a mess!” Now that might be a coincidence but I’m not sure.

Harry Butts might in fact be a reference to Ace Attorney, as character "Larry Butz", Phoenix's best friend, is sometimes mispronounced in the game as Hairy Butts by co-workers and other people in there. And Larry gets pretty mad whenever people call him that. Also, the Toppat Clan fights for evil, while in Ace Attorney, you fight for good. Which might be why the bio says "to get back at everyone that made fun of his name." But who knows it could just be a coincidence. Timestamp: 32:45 .

[@Helpwhatamidoinghere]

Now that I think about it yea it is

[@DisneyfanBeckers]

I have an idea about why the Toppats have Dave Panpa: In the bios from Completing the Mission, Gene Fredrickson (Toppat) has a bio stating "He used to be a mayor but fled when plans to smuggle a large diamond out of a museum were uncovered". He was the mayor in the opening cutscene of Stealing the Diamond, which took place in a museum that had a large diamond and where Dave Panpa was also a security guard. Maybe Dave had something to do with the uncovering of those diamond smuggling plans and holding him is a form of revenge? Whatever the reason for capture may be, Dave was probably just trying to do his best after his previous job. Poor guy, he deserves a hug.

Can’t you see Henry driving the tank for a brief moment when you click “Play” in the flash version? 21:10 Reginald makes an announcement that he had to deploy some “evasive maneuvers” at the same time Henry leaped. This may be indirectly stating that that’s the reason why “leap” worked. 21:49 he still laughs at you in the remastered version if you don’t free him. Also, about sticky hands, I used to swing mine in a circle, then I would let go and it would get stuck on the ceiling. Whoops.

Generally in mass effect the middle left option is typically used for an extra inquiry that you can make that doesn't advance the conversation. If there's less than three inquiries to make and no special renegade/paragon choices, the left side of the wheel will be used. If there's too many to fit in, it'll usually give you an "Investigate" submenu that switches all of the wheel options to extra inquiries.

Loving the series thus far! Gonna list below some references/clarifications you may have missed: -The horse neigh at the start of the Right Hand Man fight could be a reference to West of Loathing, which is a comedic stick figure game in the western genre. The combat in that game even consists of two stick figures standing apart and starting at each other while engaging in turn-based combat, much like how Henry and Right Hand Man do in this fight. The whip crack followed by a horse neigh is surely a sound effect that occurs in West of Loathing, although I admit I was unable to find such a sound effect in my brief search. -The hockey mask and chainsaw used during the fight with Right Hand Man is also likely a reference to Vincent in Final Fantasy 7, who can transform into a monster with a similar mask and chainsaw as one of his limit breaks. Considering this occurs during the version of the Right Hand Man fight that is a Final Fantasy reference, this is even more likely to be a Vincent reference. -This one's a bit of a stretch on my part, but the idea of Henry driving a tank out of an airship and this totally working, and the tank itself still functioning on landing, could be a reference to the A-Team movie that came out in 2010, as there's a rather famous scene in that movie where they "fly" a tank out of an aircraft by using the recoil of the tank's gun to control its fall, and they drive off in it after they land. Admittedly this could be just a coincidence, but I thought I'd throw it out there. -This one is a bit meta, but in the Key Quest line in this game, you use a regular key to rescue Dave from his cell, but the metal door you use it on has no keyhole visible when looking at it from the regular view. Yet the keyhole suddenly appears without explanation when you're releasing Dave and zoomed in on the door. In Completing the Mission, there's the cell that Henry gets locked in which also doesn't have a keyhole, yet if you use a lockpick on it repeatedly, the game manifests a keyhole for you to use. I don't know if the latter is a reference to this game's keyhole, but they're similar enough situations that I figured I'd mention it. -The Bob Ross stick figure being a member of the military may be a reference to the fact that Bob Ross served in the military. That's all I caught and/or thought of! Great video, can't wait for the next installment! :D

[@deemcgann1695]

"Just one more turn" is a reference as well. When you lose a game of Civ V you get the option "wait... Just one more turn" which gives you a final turn i believe.

[@paxgallery6646]

Henry always uses a glove for zero-point energy, it's just really hard to see the Grey outline on his hand compared to the normal Black outline

So, here's my thoughts: The toy soldier hat might be in reference to TF2, as this particular dev just loves referencing that.

This became very well-known in the community from fan-created character Demopan.

I belive that leader of the toppats trying to open the door with his card (here 11:42 but better visible at the start of the event) is reference to Among Us where swiping the card is one of the most annoying tasks since you had to do it in perfect speed.

[@muhammadgeofany6012]

Don't think so, in the original flash version he was also struggling.

Remote bombs are also a much more common power up in bomberman. Also, the chainsaw and hockey mask, while a reference TO the references you pointed out is how Edgar, from Final Fantasy VI, uses the chainsaw tool. VI is the one the "Tools" and "Blitz" (and subsequent suplex) come from.

6:22 I think it's a goat simulator space DLC refrence, just a thought tho idk

Oh, this is gonna be good.

*Fun Fact* Al Kohaul’s bio used to have a glitch where it would show the name and description of the last bio you selected.

[@Naru_cissu]

Not only his, i think a couple more were too glitched like that

[@SuperCaitball]

I wanna say the Metal Fist with its rhino-obsessed fail text is actually a reference to the first Ratchet and Clank game, namely the Walloper, an iron boxing glove that thrusts you forward, and the RYNO, a massive multibarreled rocket launcher.

[@123laaaaaaa]

Thanks for pointing it out I would not have thought about that especially because I own the Ratchet & Clank with the rhino

The ‘Toy soldier’ hat in the treasure room may be a reference to the hat you wear in Legend of Zelda Sprit Tracks

[@ScaryFox_]

“Garry Mann” can be found in fleeing the complex spam right click on docks in the starting cutscene

[@shellyvision9693]

AAAGGGHHH I JUST REALIZED THAT THOSE DRUNK SOLDIERS FROM COMLEPETING THE MISSION ARE NAMED DRAKE AND JOSH

"Where's the gun barrel Drake?" "Uhh..."

[@skyebluee]

25:00 this whole fighting scene looks like a reference to The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

[@LadybugsOpin]

26:14 I always thought it was a reference to the subspace bombs from the Subspace Emissary, which was the story mode for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They look extremely similar.

[@liswatching3241]

The guy that can’t see cuz he has a big head is probably a joke about how smart people always seem to wear glasses.

[@stacypaul7946]

his name is geffory and he is the best.

[@WhizzyCh]

32:07 it could be a reference to an SCP that’s a coffee machine where in one of the descriptions it says one of the personnel put in a “cup of joe” into the machine.

[@percythelittlegreenengine1507]

Looks like it but I don’t know it could have been a random British joke I don’t think it’s a scp reference cuz I don’t think puff news abut scp

[@MoonwalkDelta27]

5:16 Man... You predicted the Live-Action of Mulan!

[@blockeontheleafeon]

I'm guessing the reference for the "Metal Gloves" Fail was supposed to be one for Rambi from the Donkey Kong Series, since he can smash through barriers and looks pretty tough to draw... (In fact, that's what I always thought from when I first saw this fail.)

[@moddable6921]

The piece of land being launched into the sky may also be an Avengers: Age of Ultron reference.

[@329link]

There's another layer to the final fantasy and earthbound fights. The fact that both fights are won by using items is a jab at how items and tools were incredibly powerful and/or broken in earthbound and final fantasy 6 respectively. Henry even uses the famous multi-bottle rocket in the earthbound fight, which is an item known for completely demolishing even the most difficult bosses. Pretty clever if you ask me. This is, of course, also done in the undertale fight in CtM, though items in undertale were a lot more balanced, so that was probably a callback more than anything.

[@ryanmcsharry9405]

28:00 might be Karlov. He's a swordsman. The main treasure in that room is a sword.

[@lutherloser5122]

You forgot that the dark energy bomb was a reference to super smash bros brawl in the campain the bombs the bad guys used were the subspace bombs

[@pilotwings65]

Teleporter is a reference to Sonic Genrations, where at the end of the game, Robotnik and Eggman get trapped in the void. (There's not really a name for it) But eggman says the fail screen line. Or I'm completely dumb and that was a reference to something else.

[@HistoryUnwound]

THANK YOU for explaining that the Immobi-Ray and Zero Point Energy are two entirely different concepts! It’s been driving me crazy how often they get mixed up!

32:01 I think I heard cup of Joe somewhere in the SCP Articles... Edit : its SCP 294 Here is the document Document SCP-294a (regarding incident 294-01): On August 21, 2005, Agent Joseph ██████ attempted to use Item SCP-294 to obtain coffee during his allotted break time at 9:30 AM. At the request of Agent █████ █████████ "to see what it would do", ██████ requested "a cup of Joe" from the item. Moments after confirming the selection, Agent Joseph ██████ began to sweat profusely and complained of dizziness before collapsing. After moving the unconscious agent to the infirmary, the medical team recovered the contents of the cup dispensed by Item SCP-294: a combination of blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids. Testing revealed the DNA sequence of the biological material dispensed by SCP-294 matched that of Agent ██████.

6:46 Maybe a reference on Al Capone, a criminal during the Prohibition, a ban on *Al Kohaul*, and he is a Toppat.

[@clonefighter1996]

32:45 That's actually another reference to Ace Attorney, with the name being similar to The First Turnabout's defendant and Phoenix's childhood friend, Larry Butz. ...or at least I think it is.

[@mrworldwide3944]

Have you realized that Henry was only able to do a successful “Falcon Punch” in Completing the Mission by instead of saying Falcon he instead saying Stickmin Punch i dunno if it is a reference to the stealing the diamond fail screen saying only one man is capable of doing that

[@josefdelaville4638]

That could be considered "character developement". Instead of copying someone, he finally decided to do his own unique punch and succeded for once.

I know I'm a bit late, but Sledge MacRush might be a reference to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, with an operator being called "Sledge". His ability is that he has a sledge hammer and can break soft walls, but a community meme is to actually use the sledge hammer as a weapon and getting kills with it, either "rushing" in to catch people off guard or finishing off downed players, which is a similar position that Nate Box is lying in before getting hit.

[@vivanovo]

32:45This is an Ace Attorney 2001 reference. After the first trial Mia, Phoenix's mentor calls Larry Butz- Phoenix's friend- Harry Butz It was in the anime too

[@incognitolive9849]

Though it might be a bit of a stretch, the glue part might be referencing the Simpsons movie, where Homer is shown climbing the big dome with, well, super glue. Could be generic though..

[@harrybiceps1852]

The last decision before the ending "pure blooded thief" (the one where the prototype suit got stolen) could be a reference to regular shows first episode " the power " where they steal a magical keyboard from a wizard who needed to go pee.

And the looking back and forth definitely confirms it

[@Garygoh884]

21:50 The guy laughing at Henry only appears if you don't get the key during the route.
