[@argetlam1230]

Man I used to play this game all the time with my dad when I was a kid. I haven't thought about those days in a long time. Thank you for reminding me of better days as well as informative content.

[@BeardedSockHub]

Same here. Made me call him up and tell him I loved him and appreciated him always trying to do the next right thing. Had us both choked up lol

[@youhaveayds8975]

Glad to see many other people have also played this with their dads. If I might ask is your dad a Zelda fan because I feel like that tends to be the common connection between this LOL

[@BeardedSockHub]

@@youhaveayds8975 All I can say is my dad gave me a Gameboy game and said "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this." My first game just happened to be Zelda. Second one was Castlevania.

[@kenedic7495]

this was actually a game i considered picking up for speed running years ago because ive always been enamored at the thought of running something that has a pretty small community, though i never got around to it

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

You should! The original Tak trilogy has a small but great speedrun community in fact Tak 3 was built for speedrunning (Tak the Great Juju Challenge) you should give them a try!

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

Great video. I’ve been apart of the Tak speedrunning scene for a long time and it’s great to see this game get some coverage, considering how little this franchise is talked about, led alone its speedruns. I’ve primarily ran the 3rd game in the series (The Great Juju Challenge) and its a low key really good speedrun. It’s more linear than Tak 1 but it is fast paced and filled to the brim with numerous exploits and big skips. I would definitely recommend checking out the run if you haven’t already, as well as the runs for the other Tak games.

[@skoottietv]

Ill definitely check them out and I hope I did a good job explaining the first one, its definitely a really cool speedrun considering how niche it is

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

You did a good job for sure. The route has changed a ton over the years and you definitely did a strong job explaining the new route which I wasn't even that familiar with. The whole Tak community highly enjoyed this video.

[@dodiswatchbobobo]

I couldn’t get past the chicken leading tower as a kid then accidentally saved after I found that Easter Egg cave on the island, which left me softlocked forever more.

[@skoottietv]

This game had so many soft locks 😭

[@PikminWarrior454]

I REMEMBER that cave, there's zero information on this game online so I wasn't sure if I made that memory up or not

[@PlaceholderMan]

I ruined a save file and softlocked myself out of completion in the area at 13:30 because a monkey got stuck between trees. I think it was because I got impatient or bored and shot it while it was traveling between trees, and so it just started looping its running animation while standing in place. I left the level and came back, hoping that would fix it, but found out that bafflingly, the game had saved the monkey's precise position, rather than what tree it was supposed to be standing next to. After seeing the throw hover trick, maybe I'll return to my save file and try to complete it after all.

[@PikminWarrior454]

I did something similar, I got 2 monkeys perpetually throwing coconuts at each other, and it reached the point where they both had so many throws queued up that they machine gunned me down as soon as I tried to pass and killed me in less than a second, then went straight back to attacking each other. This game precisely saves a weirdly massive number of object states, that's probably why a save file takes up so much memory card space.

[@Romanticoutlaw]

it's strange how much nostalgia I have for games I rented maybe three times

[@skoottietv]

I know, when I came back to play this game I barely remembered half of it. Not sure if I actually ever beat it as a kid haha

[@DELTARYZ]

@@skoottietv I have a strong nostalgic connection to this game, but I don't think I actually put much playtime into it & I haven't re-played it since. I don't really remember the layout of any of the levels, and that's normally something I am extremely good at remembering with most games. But I vividly remember the way I felt while playing it. It was powerful, deeply immersive, created a rich vibe that was unlike anything else I played Something about the soundtrack, the vibes, the FEEL of this game was powerful for my impressionable young brain my memories are super fuzzy, i couldn't really speak to the objective quality of the game as a 3D platformer I want to say kid me got stuck in a lot of different places - and I was usually pretty good at this kind of game but in a way that only further contributes to the particular way i feel about this game, the sense of wonder it created

[@Ninjasifi]

I have only ever played Tak and the Staff of Dreams and Tak and the Great Juju Challenge. I didn't appreciate the fact that TatSoD just continues the plot straight over from this game. That's awesome! I also love seeing some of the Jujus I remember from my childhood (mostly the green girl and the bones guy) in this game. I need to play this.

[@DELTARYZ]

I don't really know anything about GJC, but I know that SoD was much more linear than the first game & much more rushed in development. The original game is a proper open 3D platformer where you have to explore and discover stuff, and new pathways will open up in old levels. It was a great game to play as a kid, the weirdness and vibes were super immersive and made an impact on my impressionable young brain i don't remember the gameplay so much as i remember the powerful feelings i had while playing it just, captivated by the world and exploration and vibes, some weird sense of wonder mixed with danger and fear that I probably wouldn't be able to feel towards a game today. I don't remember another game that nailed that feeling as consistently as Tak 1 did for me. I probably would have HATED Tak 2 if I played it shortly after the first.

[@HellsChef45]

@@DELTARYZ I had Tak 2 growing up, and didn't play the first Tak til after I played Tak 3, and I cannot go back to the first game, to me the sequels are just so much better. Don't get me wrong, Tak 1 has an awesome artstyle and great music, but the gameplay in the sequels is just so fun that it's hard to return to the OG for me.

[@Cloud_Strife_]

I had no idea this franchise started as a video game. All I remembered of it was that weird cartoon based off of it on Nick that heavily disturbed me as a child. Looks like a fun game though. Hopefully more people pick it up and run it.

[@DELTARYZ]

The show was... awful, uncomfortable, uncanny, just an absolute fever dream that is an insult to the game it's inspired by. The original game, on the other hand, left a significant impact on my impressionable young brain. There's something about the way its exploration and backtracking works, the vibes and sense of wonder it created the soundtrack and weird visuals were just so deeply immersive and unlike anything else i played I don't even remember the mechanics or levels particularly vividly, just... the way I felt while playing it. I worry that re-playing it now might spoil its magic, maybe this is just rose-tinted glasses, but I usually seem to agree with kid me's opinions & it definitely inspired some pretty powerful feelings inside me so I definitely wish it got more attention than it does.

[@flaminhotcheetos7965]

I was going crazy trying to understand why this looked so familiar to me! Totally forgot about this show

[@icy_bird5540]

I loved tak growing up

[@Aladite]

I never even played this game and the nostalgia is already hitting hard

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

THQNordic promised fans a remake of the original trilogy Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge in 2018! Fans need to get louder so the remake can happen! THQNordic it needs to happen! :)

[@Im-BAD-at-satire]

They made a Nickelodeon 3D animated series based directly on the game, back far then.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

@@Im-BAD-at-satire it wasn’t based on the original video game trilogy different universe lore and even voice actors, the show is what killed Tak’s incredible legacy! Remember Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge and forget the tv shows existence

[@bear_trap107]

One of the best games I had for the Gamecube, I miss it so much. It was the first time I was introduced to Patrick Warburton.

[@croatiancowboy]

Same, and same

[@CommissarMitch]

I found this channel today while in sick bed and was very delighted to see the relatively low video count. Now, after having watched them all, I can safely say this channel is in my top Comfort channels. There are no loud sounds, no screaming, a calm voice speaking with just enough happpening to keep me from losing intrest. Absolutely outstanding! I can not wait to see what more you bring to the table

[@skoottietv]

Hopefully some new stuff will be coming soon :)

[@spimbles]

i think Tak 2 was a MUCH weirder game, its atmosphere creeped me out growing up 😭

[@redtheslayer]

Tak is a game that deserves another chance

[@syndere6755]

SRE originally had you throw hover aaalll the way up. The tiki skip for Numa Dunes can also crash the game if performed wrong. Yeah, I'm presuming you meant the Moonstone in Mt. Top North, Dark Temple is the final boss area. Since its not brought up, mana conservation is important because Crazy Feet costs 1 mana per second of use. Crazy Feet make go fast. More go fast means more mana use. Finally, it's "tul-ay-loc" not "tay-loc." It is a pretty hard name to be fair, that's why the show changed it.

[@mastermenthe]

There was a tak show?

[@SkelekatYT]

Wow, thanks for making this! Really cool to see some appreciation for this very strange speedgame 😄That midwest speedfest shoutout gave me some whiplash for sure haha

[@skoottietv]

Of course! I hope I showed the speedrun well enough :)

[@SkelekatYT]

@@skoottietv Yeah it's a great video, surprisingly well researched given how small the community is and how sparse the information is probably spread around haha. Almost makes me want to pick the game back up and work towards breaking the 1 hour barrier 😄

Thanks!

[@aeteno703]

Surprised to see you only have 22k subscribers, this is a fantastic video. Looking forward to seeing you grow!

[@half_pixel]

Love this. I was obsessed with this game when I was little, so it's really cool to see you go into so much detail on the speedrunning tricks.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

The original Tak trilogy is some of the best 3D platformers ever made in my opinion they have amazing gameplay stories music characters writing and voice acting and personality! I’m glad skootie gave the small Tak speedrun community some spotlight! :)

[@jurtheorc8117]

Wouldn't call this the strangest, though definitely one of the wackiest. And it's cool to see more coverage on this game, too. I do love the art and atmosphere of a number of locations. Music is a big part of that, so: to anyone reading this, i VERY much recommend checking out the OST to all three games (this one, Staff of Dreams and Great Juju Challenge. Though 1 and 2 more than 3.) There's another 3D platformer-style game out there that speedrunners seem to be decently fond of, by name of Kya: Dark Lineage. Would love to see that one get more coverage as well. And simply for more players to experience it. It does a lot and does it quite well, such as skydiving, wind riding, board sliding, animal riding, and rather in-depth 3D combat that i've heard people say is akin to Tekken. It's not the most *mechanically* robust, and i think that's part of why speedrunners like it. Still, i'd say it's a fun time that would benefit from a second chance to do more with its potential.

[@jgunner280]

As an outsider just getting recommended this video, I find it once again insane how well this community can work to put together these strategies and find these tiny glitches. Just that tutorial skip alone for an obscure older game like this, its one of those questions of "How long did this take to figure out, and also happen to be the right guy to report it!?"

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

As a member of the Tak trilogy community I can definitely say that Tak 1 especially has a lot of underrated speedrunning tricks! I hope someone gets the 59 because more people need to see this speedrun it’s amazing to see live!

[@EnigmaBarry]

11:37;17:31 That Spirit World glitch is interesting. When I played this game as a kid I was young and dumb. Somehow I had issues beating the big armored Nerbils trying to get Loc as a Balloon. Then out of nowhere the pillars appeared and I could get Loc's balloon even though I didn't beat the big Nerbils. I wonder if this is why.

[@skoottietv]

Who knows, this game was so buggy and messed up I feel like so many things just happened lol

The first three Tak games Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge actually has a pretty big community not as big as SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom but still, more people need to play the original three Tak games they deserve to be remembered because they’re amazing 3D platformers

[@Echoesoftimelover]

Dude how are sourcing all of this nostalgia from me. Love the uploads keep it up man.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

Fun fact the Tak trilogy just turned 20 years old yesterday October 15th 2003 was Tak 1’s release

[@BAIGAMING]

Great job explaining how the Tak speedrun works! This IP was always underrated and it's a shame. They made this a game as well as a show, I remember Nick kept advertising the show and they really wanted this to be the big new IP, they must've invested a lot of money into making the show. The show looked great on a technical level because it used 3D animation but in a time where the graphics looked nicer compared to the original 3D shows like Reboot (Tak had some really interesting character designs), but I remember the plot of the show being bland. The game was a fun platformer though, I enjoyed playing weird games like this and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, an even stranger platformer if you can believe it or not.

[@rinna6575]

The show was actually meant to start airing around the same time as the first game and be a more direct tie-in to the games' story, but it got stuck in development hell and didn't release until it had largely fallen out of relevancy and barely had anything to do with the actual games.

[@iueblaze8281]

[@wolfcl0ck]

Very good vid! Well done!

[@Mr.CheeseBurger423]

I never got to play the first Tak game, but heard of it. Instead my first Tak game was Tak 2 Staff of Dreams, and I loved that game even though nowadays it feels like a fever dream just thinking about the story... Don't know about y'all but Patrick Warburton (VA for Lok) has been one of the most influential VA's for me. Great video, and keep up the good work!

[@jesst_a_frog]

My dad has been holding on to an original Xbox since before I was born. I grew up on this console and still played all the way up to 2020. Tak: The Great Juju Challenge was the only Tak game I ever played, but it was a lot of fun. Also, I don’t think I ever finished the game. I got stuck at the last arena part.

[@skoottietv]

The thing I hated about this game was you werent really told what to do, you just kindof had to figure it out

[@supershadow125]

Alright algorithm you win. Time to watch this and follow tak speedrunners. I haven't seen this game in years

[@skoottietv]

[@0rbeez]

Man I remember seeing the ads for this on my ATLA dvds and being so curious abt what was even going on! Guess now’s the time I finally find out lol

[@FerreTrip]

The only thing about this game I remember is playing a demo where you jump on a fat bear's tummy as a trampoline, and it exaggerated the bouncing to an almost glitchy degree. That and this was a Nick show too.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

Your thinking of the sequel Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams an amazing game! And forget the tv shows existence lol it’s what ruined Tak’s incredible video game legacy there were three amazing games and nothing else lol Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge are the ones that count in fans eyes

[@literatemax]

15:40 what? The Dark Temple is the final level, and doesn't have a Moonstone. The video shown for "Dark" there is also just the Burial Ground

[@ll-cy3dc]

I once found this strange behavior in Tak 2 with the frogs at the swamp level. There was a way you could stun the frog and push it into the water and the frog could start spinning in place. You could hop on the frog and then spam spin attacks on the frog which would move you along in the water. I used this trick to speed through a section of the swamp, I wonder how the tak 2 speed run community is this trick has probably been found already lol

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

Yes a even bigger skip is used, the Tak trilogy is really fun to speed run especially Tak 3 on GameCube because that game was built for speedrunning the Tak trilogy community may be small but it’s a fun thing to be a part of! :)

Actually the original Tak trilogy was very popular series Tak 2 won the best GameCube platformers award in 2004 and Tak 3 the Great Juju Challenge was up for best action adventure game of 2005!

Bro the 1st tak game was so good! The other two were pretty bad though.

Still one of the nichest game I've played, not only because of it being a rarely talked about game, but because I got it from a relative for a while because his GameCube didn't work, only had it as a kid for a while, yeah, probably, I think that was the case

It is a super niche game, did not sell well haha

Yo all I remembered is the surreal TV show. I forgot this was a game first!

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

Yes! The original trilogy was a video game first! Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge! The original trilogy has nothing to do with the show however different universe lore and even voice actors! Forget the tv show lol but you should play the original games! They have amazing gameplay stories music characters writing and voice acting and personality! Jason Marsden as Tak and Patrick Warburton as Lok are comedic gold! :)

My friend with videogames let me watch him play Tak and the Staff of Dreams back in the early aughts...
