Thanks for clarifying about the polyrhythm-I was scratching my head analyzing the rests and trying to figure out how it could possibly work as a 3:4. (Alternately: “this sounds NOTHING like Fake Empire!”) It makes much more sense when I think of it as just applying to the first three notes of the phrase!

A brief note on the the Lumbercats and the use of "neko" in Japanese queer slang: When used among queer women, referring to one partner in a relationship as the neko refers to someone who is not necessarily (exclusively) sexually passive or submissive, but rather the partner in such an arrangement who prefers to be provided for-the joke being that they are, like a cat, readily affectionate but needy; the complementary term is tachi, literally "sword," referring to a compulsive provider and protector (cue the Utena theme). The term is also used among queer men with a similar implication, albeit often with the added subtext of such a person typically being a bottom in Western parlance, which fits the characters constantly "needing assistance," nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more. It's a very context-heavy sex joke, but yes, it's totally a sex joke.

It appears that the article was low-rated, so it was removed and the slot re-opened so someone else could use that URL. This happens all the time. Often an article like this wouldn't be deleted, just moved to the Joke SCPs section, but that doesn't seem to have happened this time. There is still a Rhythm Heaven item on the site, though. It's one of the hundreds of addendums to SCP-914, a machine that "makes things better" when they're put inside. An R4 cartridge containing various pirated Nintendo games was placed in SCP-914, and the machine spit out an R4 cartridge with the games on it customized to appeal to members of the research team. Researcher's MacLean's game was a megamix of Rhythm Heaven, Wario Ware, and Mario Party minigames. There's nothing dangerous about these games, so the weirdness is that SCP-914 knew so much about the research team that it could make such a thing. I can't link on KZbin, but go to the site and type "Rhythm Heaven" into the search bar and you'll find it.

Fun fact: built to scale only references scales in English, here in Italy, it's called something along the lines of "artfully made" and I think that in German it's called "beatfactory"

[@ThatFoxxoLeo]

In Korean, "Built to Scale" is literally just "assembling pieces/parts/things". A lot of the Korean translations are really literal, like "Shoot-'em-up" is just "슈팅", which is just "shooting". The most interesting names in the Korean translation that come to mind is "The Dazzles", which is translated as "샤랄라 6공주" (6 Sharala Princesses) and "Love Lab", which is translated as "두근두근 실험실" (Exciting* Laboratory) (exciting in this case would mean in relation to love, since "두근두근" is onomatopoeia for a pounding heart, similar to "doki doki" in Japanese.

Like try not to stress out much about it and go with flow and you will naturally understand it with the music”.

1:30:30 Praline is a category of nut based confectionery (pronounced as pralin not unlike the Japanese purarin), as such it was probably chosen as its a real word that fits the pronunciation and could be considered a "cute" name. The character supposedly called Praline has a + on their back, leading most likely to the pura in the Japanese name similar to Plusle from Pokémon, being purasuru in Japanese. Ararin on the other hand was likely named after Purarin to fit the same naming convention but with A instead of the plus button.

[@DoctorMario606]

34:38 it's funny, all of these characters once had distinctive designs in the earlier WarioWare games. In my opinion, Ko Takeuchi's art style has degraded in terms of charm (like seriously search up his WarioWare Inc art to see what I mean!)

[@dashhhh8228]

I personally prefer the new art, I don't like as much the original designs except for Jimmy t which always looked the same. But most of the old ones always looked a little weird for me and the only one I really consider better is Wario, he ooks so cool in his old artwork.

[@DoctorMario606]

@@dashhhh8228 I feel like the weirdness added to the characters. While I don't hate the new designs ( I've grown to love them a lot actually) the old ones were definitely cooler in my opinion. Minus Game & Wario, that game's art style was like a mixture of the two art styles and I didn't really like it.

Wow, can’t believe I just realized that. I love Warioware Inc, the art and atmosphere is just so charming.

About the ending of the video (spoilers?), I wanted to point out that unless Gamergate had some sort of presence in Japan I don't know about, I think it's silly to expect a Japanese man to know anything about Gamergate.

43:59 I bet that since the joke was that the layout of the minigame was because they're legs are so long, but their bodies are regular size, I bet the tall tappers are some kind of stilt performers, and they're just sitting down in the café on their off time.

I haven’t seen much of the video, but if it’s not already on the iceberg: 1. We know what the Clappy Trio’s voices sound like from Glee Club, as one of them is the conductor. It’s very easy to see this because of the DS title’s box art. 2. The person controlling the fork in Fork Lifter(the character shown on the art for Superb and OK)may be one of the Glass Tappers as well.

What’s with the disrespect to Fever Repainted and the various other fanworks? This video was mostly fun and informative, but there’s some oddly passive-aggressive jabs for no reason. Some of the facts aren’t even facts, they’re essentially just complaints.

[@annaairahala9462]

22:30 To add to this, the notion of the rabbit jumping on sea creatures comes from a very old folk story from the Kojiki called the "Hare of Inaba" in which a white rabbit jumps on the backs of sharks to reach an island

I'd just like to mention something about the RHF Repainted bit. I'd say the reason the memes were a bit outdated was because, as you mentioned, it was 2017. The project was started in 2015 by Trigger215, but their ADHD-induced mishandling of the project meant it took two years to complete, and they handed it off to another owner who actually had the ability to get it released. The name "Lunchteam" actually came from Trigger's constant "oh I'll do it after lunch" claims. As for how I know, I regret to inform you that I'm Trigger, or at least, was. I changed my username because I didn't like the alternate implications of it.

Now knowing the fact that Tsunku had his vocal chords removed, I can't help but admire his expressed desire to make another entry in the franchise One maybe could think that going back to making another game could be emotionally painful and exhausting for him now that He can't sing anymore, but despite that difficulty, He still wants to make another Rhythm Heaven game I admired him before and this only makes my admiration for him grow even more

Here's my interesting Showtime fact: the time between the first and last audio cues for the "fast" white penguins is the exact same is the "normal" gray penguins. The only difference is the double-time noises that the white penguins make, creating the illusion of faster movement.

[@cuentaeliminada7176]

1:18:38 Actually the Fo' Sho' to For Sure change is totally justified. And it's not because in the UK Fo' Sho' would be less understood, it's because since that version of the game was going to be used in every PAL territory, in countries such as Spain or France, "For Sure" would be easier to understand, since those lyrics weren't translated to each language.

One thing I want to note about Nintendo and Homophobia; it's less that Nintendo as a company is homophobic, and more that Nintendo is based in a Homophobic Country, and allows its various first and second party game development studios to have a decently high amount of creative freedom, with relatively little oversight, at least compared to other AAA publishers. This is why you see things like the removal of the DJ duo or or Tomogachi Life lacking gay options from Nintendo SPD, Meanwhile HAL labs just added Tony to Mother 3 without much of a second thought, and Intelligent Systems Just deadass has had Openly gay and Bi characters in basically every Fire emblem since 1999/FE5 (We're on FE16 now), and how IS even added LGBT rep to the mario franchise when they made Vivian trans. Just something I wanted to note, since it explains Nintendo's seemingly contradictory stances on LGBT+ characters over the years.

1:44:13 I have a rebuttal to this claim: What if the ninjas found in freeze frame are actually the descendants of those in Ninja Boydguard, however instead they are carrying on the tradition of only wearing ninja outfits and just playing around on the racetrack. Ninja reincarnate does exist, however judging by the lack of modern technology and ambiguity of the time, we can infer that Ninja Reincarnate takes place BEFORE Freeze Frame, maybe around the 70s.
