I set a WORLD RECORD in Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival!

[@Dagnel]

Full run here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4HXp4FuYrp3g7c Streamed on Twitch! twitch.tv/Dagnel

[@faitherrrr]

never thought i'd see the day that someone speedruns a board game

[@fe_three_rosses]

Alpharad Mario Party lol

[@Iridescent_Ivory]

@@fe_three_rosses I was gonna say that too lmao

[@jessehunter362]

mario party’s more of a body disposal simulator than a board game

[@payableondeath7]

Clue for the NES has a 4 second world record iirc because you basically mash A as soon as it starts and just hope by random chance you select the right culprit, weapon, and scene.

[@Alexandra_0209]

All of the wii party games 😅😅😂

[@CaptainOlimar-qf8dc]

It feels good to not be the only amiibo festival enjoyer, also at least in the new leaf version it's not random it stops when you press a. It just does a full rotation before stopping. That plus reaction time makes it feel random. The best way around it that I found was to try and learn how long it takes to react and press the button and factor that in

[@Dagnel]

I read that, I think it's easier to time the spinner in NL. It seemed more random in AC:AF because you'd hit "A" to stop the spinner, and sometimes it would stop immediately, and sometimes it would be delayed.

[@glameowlaywer]

i always loved amiibo festival and didn’t understand why it got hate! i always played it with my sister

[@mirasdiary]

@@glameowlaywer bc people wanted a mainline animal crossing game and when this came out and it was not a main game, people cried about it.

[@AKAProm]

@@glameowlaywer combination of no mainline game on the Wii U after what felt like years of teasing one, the general boring nature of the board game and the wack control scheme centered around the amiibo figures/cards. It's a cute game with a neat idea, but executed pretty poorly. Mainly with all the wack control quirks.

[@polipix_]

I didn’t even know this was a part of amiibo festival, I have a WiiU furniture item in New Leaf that allows you to play this mini game, and it was so much fun haha

[@icy101yt]

Yeah that’s what I thought!

[@sentientsodacan]

yeah, that's how i played it

[@prettylilhedz]

That's where I knew it from too, good times...

[@diamondkone]

I remember playing Desert Island Escape on New Leaf using the in game Wii U which would cost Play Coins. As you would gain Play Coins by walking, I would carry my DS everywhere so I could get them. So glad this is the same in Amiibo Festival. Oh, and congrats on the world record!

[@bubbaboo_art7881]

Me too

[@yggdrasilsaltar]

i think its funny how this was the best mode in amiibo festival then a year later new leaf stole it and only this mode in the welcome amiibo update

[@arthurwilliams4249]

Oh my god I love desert island escape I played it so much on the 3ds Great video as always ♡♡

[@Dagnel]

Thank you!

[@spicysesam]

The Desert Island Escape minigame is also in New Leaf. You can play it if you get a WiiU out of fortune cookies

[@jess0_7]

I’m so pleased I was able to witness the WR streams, even if it meant catching up. It was really fun to watch! Excellent effort as per usual!

[@raffaelm6558]

I literally had no idea that this originated in Amiibo Festival. I own the game but only played one round of the board game with a friend and didn’t even notice that this game (and probably the Tetris thingy, too) was there. I love Desert Island Escape in New Leaf though I never managed to get all the rewards from it 😭 Maybe I need to try with your team. 🤔

[@galileodirectio]

You give me early ludwig vibes in this video in the best way possible. Hopefully you gonna keep making cool stuff and keep growing since a calab one day would be pretty nifty in theory.

[@sayomi9562]

i really liked amiibo festival when it came out! like you said, it has it's issues, but it's honestly a fun game to play with friends and a cute way to utilize your animal crossing amiibos

[@Applysome]

Congratulations on the world record, loved the video as always! Haven’t seen your museum speed run yet as still catching up on the livestreams 😊 it’s cool to see the whole process and appreciate the grind you put in to entertain us.

[@KikurixLia]

New Dagnel content always makes it a great day! 💚 Congrats on the WR and probably causing quite a few people to pick this mini game up (again), me included, if I can stomach my NL villagers complaining about my disappearance…

[@elimann9989]

Amiibo fest, though based around amiibos, is still freaking amazing imo. Its worth it if you already have amiibo figures

[@caitilines]

amiibo festival was so much fun! I've played it on and off for years, desert island escape is absolutely the most fun!

[@Dagnel]

Yes! I also quite liked the Balloon minigame, and the Board game isn't bad!

[@satele42]

on my way to watch the vod right now, this looks like it was a lot of fun to play great video btw, it makes my day whenever dagnel uploads :D

[@maura462]

the K.K. Outro was killin it!

[@loveshikashika4343]

slams my fist. YES. YES. YES. this game is so fucking GOOD and its SO SLEPT ON. everyone was so mad it was "not animal crossing" and "a glorified power point".. there was so many modes, i had SO MUCH FUN with my friends.. i wanna unearth it again, i miss it so much..

[@blvckblack]

The fact that for 3 days we watched Dagnel play a board game made me question my life. WE KNOW EVERYONE FAVORITE FRUIT. The conclusion is whatever Dagnel will do we will sit and watch in silence

[@eldurkaeri3825]

I think I'd love to watch more Amiibo Festival videos by you

[@tamar4716]

This is the fastest I've ever seen you put up a video. It was super fun watching the stream live!

[@Dagnel]

I was in a mood last night so I thought I might as well blitz it out!

[@Chubby_Bub]

These streams got me playing amiibo Festival again, and though I never disliked it, it was more fun than I remembered. Even just Desert Island Escape has so much to it, I'm surprised it's so overlooked. I also played the board game with my family and they thought it was boring until the stalk market started, at which point things got heated. The whole thing also has the great Wii U-era Nintendo vibes. I think the worst part of the game is not any of the gameplay but that it's so dependent on amiibo- other toys-to-life dependent games have a lot more content to them.

[@Dagnel]

I bet it'd be a hit on the Switch if they made it not dependent on Amiibo!

[@koramora]

huh. i didn't even though there was an hour of gameplay in Amiibo Festival

[@chimeratriplett2319]

i think the main reason people hated this game is because when it was revealed, we all thought it was gonna be a new mainline game for the Wii U, and then the board game stuff started and we were all rly confused

[@Dagnel]

I think that as well, that was part of my disappointment.

[@bigkevinm84]

Never gave Amiibo Festival a try, so this was very interesting. Also, Walker is my favorite villager, so inject this video straight into my veins.

[@AlgernonCSwinburne]

See you folks when the Summoning Salt video comes out!

[@ryxan6968]

This mode also exists in new leaf,you can play it if you get a ingame Wii U or 3Ds I can't remember it was one of these

[@malkavian4120]

Speedrun suggestions: 1) getting all KK Slider songs. 2) Getting all villagers photos (all 10 villagers on your island, not ALL villagers, lmao).

[@silentwitch8950]

Actually never knew what the game truly was about. But it looked pretty pogs in your speedrun

[@Dagnel]

It's lots of fun, and I think it was never advertised very well. Lots of people don't truly know what it was about

[@payableondeath7]

The only thing bad about Amiibo Festival is that it wasn't a full Animal Crossing game. People were so feral for a Wii U Animal Crossing game because of the while speculation of how you could use the Gamepad, that when it was basically Rated G Mario Party people lost their mind. It's not amazing or anything, but didn't deserve the disrespect and vitriol it got

[@KitsuneKoinu]

Time to buy a game and beat Dagnel at something I guess? I absolutely love the NL version. My go to team is Sabel, Bluebear and Saharah

[@DarkChibiShadowYT]

This game was SO close to being really really amazing, but the controls of having to tap the amiibo every single time and move around the gamepad were a mess-- that said, I think a switch port could work really well b/c of the way joycons work -- and especially now that amiibo cards are more popular than ever, it could be more accessible to at least a small niche of people. IDK this game had potential and it was so cute to see a little town map during the seasons and fight for turnips and bells and stuff but aaah this game also fell flat on it's face too hmm

[@Dagnel]

The board game was clunky, having to scan it as often as you do. Desert Island Escape was nice though, tap once at the start of the round, and that's it. But I agree, I'd love a Switch port.

[@Ouka101]

This minigame is also available in New Leaf if you win a Wii U console from a fortune cookie. It was one of my favorite past times so it's nice to see it getting the love it deserves

[@TheBossmann]

I’ve played Desert Island Escape, but it was the watered down version in ACNL lol, and even then it’s one of the best games in amiibo festival lmao

[@venafydan]

The Welcome Amiibo free update for Animal Crossing New Leaf on the 3DS has a version of this game. I dunno if it's the full game though, but you access it through I think a fortune cookie item. It'll be the wii u or the 3DS item that was added in the Welcome Amiibo update.

[@tillytakestallys]

desert island escape is on new leaf too now lol

[@gh0stgarbage]

I hadn’t played ACNL since before welcome amiibo and was INCREDIBLY surprised when I saw you could play this minigame with playcoins on the in game Wii U

[@MikachuXD]

I loved playing that exact game in Animal Crossing: New Leaf Welcome Amiibo. That brings back so many memories :D

[@RedSkies_101]

amiibo festival is pretty fun! Sadly neither me or my siblings have enough older amiibo cards to be able to play the minigames though... but I remember playing desert island escape in new leaf, and it was so much fun! I think I had to have the 3ds item or some other nintendo console to be able to play it in new leaf

[@Hey_Bi_The_Way]

I actually really love Amiibo Festival. I have yet to play the mini games because I don't have the cards but I actually love how cute and wholesome the board game is ❤

[@RisingRevengeance]

The game people only bought for the isabelle amiibo. It was only $15 for me but even that is kinda much for this.

[@kunabanana]

I must've missed this when it was uploaded, because I would never forget that you set a new world record in Gex

[@Dagnel]

"This is like a luau at Mel Blanc's house!"

[@Ylurple]

i remember on the 3ds version, i got really good at timing the wheel. there's a way to hit the button at exactly the right moment and you will always get what you want

[@aigocharisma]

I only played this on NL:WA update. I had no idea it was on the amiibo festival!

[@Dagnel]

Yep! It started on AC:AF and was ported to New Leaf. That's where I first played it

[@mr.markstar]

I actually didn’t know that Desert Island Escape came from Amiibo Festival. My only experience with it was in New Leaf lol

[@elysianwatcher]

the free real estate cracked me up more than i should’ve

[@Alex_Silverpen]

interesting that Celeste and Blathers have the same ability. I get why from a gameplay standpoint, but Celeste canonically can't fly. She has something wrong with one of her wings that means she can't fly. I believe this information can be found in either Happy Home Designer, Happy Home Paradise, or both. Edit: Also, I play Desert Island Escape on New Leaf, and I use a cat almost every time. They sense fish in nearby spaces and automatically move to those spaces, then they can catch fish without a fishing rod. 50/50 chance to even catch without a fishing rod, or I believe an 100% with fishing rod. I could be wrong, but I believe the logs and sail are pre-set to be in specific spaces every time for the same level. There's one level in easy mode I believe that has the sail always at the top-most square, guarded by an enemy. At least in the New Leaf version. I skipped the Wii U- almost everything I wanted for the Wii U ended up with a port or sequel on Switch, so I'm happy with my decision.

[@VioletAeonSnowfield]

I always kind of thought that Amiibo Festival looked like something that I personally could really enjoy. The only problem I had with it was that it was an Amiibo game. I have a grand total of one Amiibo, and it's the Twilight Princess version of Link that was released in the Smash Wii U run. I don't own any Animal Crossing Amiibo or Amiibo cards.

[@sofiesusi]

I played a board game similar to this. It's called Galapagos or something similar to it. You have to gather water, food and wood to make a raft and much more fun stuff. You can work together but also you might have to sacrifice or safe your friends. Super fun!

[@13cherriess]

literally slayed

[@digitalunity]

Oh, nice! They carried over the minigame from new leaf!

[@Adnapac]

I used to play DIE on new leaf all the time, I didn’t know it was a mini game on amiibo festival! It makes sense now, but I never correlated it

[@joeytabora1052]

The thing with Desert Island Escape, is that you don't need to get Amiibo Festival to play it, you can play it in New Leaf

[@theRCenby]

fun fact, Walker has the same birthday as my dog Tank who passed away. but get this, his breed was a Walker coonhound weird coincidence

[@CobyTheLuckyFox]

I didn't expect this to get uploaded the day after the stream lol.

[@lucarioinfamous]

My roommate refuses to play Amiibo Festival because in his first game ever he went from a decisive lead to an unwinnable situation after I got a money tree.

[@adamtomkins5182]

I would love to see you try advanced some day

[@KarlaO711]

Wasnt that bord game on new leave too? As a mini game, when you got the Nintendo 3ds item. I hardly remember playing it. ^^

[@WyGuy2087]

desert island escape can also be played in ac:NLon the wii u item

[@spiritdesired]

This is the only thing getting me through the work day today lmaooooooo

[@trixdotnet]

i loved this minigame sooo much in new leaf. when i discovered it it became like half of my playtime lol

[@jostorys7425]

Ngl, this was my favorite mode from the whole game and I honestly wish there were more online creators playing this, as I don't own a WiiU myself. I honestly would buy that game for that mode alone

[@Dagnel]

AC:AF is great, I don't know how much more I'll play it, but I enjoyed my time a lot with it.

[@kelliejohnson3425]

idea: speedrun to max bells! love your videos!

[@Dark_Side_Productions]

My go-to team is a dog out first, then Tom Nook (who has the hunter ability) and then the 3rd slot changes level to level (it’s often blathers though)

[@cyberbit7458]

Oh wow! I thought that Desert Island Escape was only a secret in ACNL I honestly wish that there was a way to just play this without the amibo/playcoins on the 3DS

[@Katamaribaby]

I loved playing island escape on new leaf, if you bought a wii-u in game, you could play it and it was really fun!

[@xxMiraclesMay]

Hi! I recently found your channel and I'm not sure what you have or haven't done yet... But have you ever considered trying to 5* your island with just the stuff that falls out of trees? Or would that be physically impossible?

[@HelieNerb]

I wish they had mini games in new horizons, in new leaf you could play the deserted island mini game if you had the Wii U item in your house (the mini game wasn’t exclusive to amiibo festival), and if you had the 3ds item you could play a puzzle league game

[@djdegracia02]

Honestly, I'm sure a lot of people would have been willing to give this game a try if it wasn't advertised that you NEEDED amiibo to play. I'm not sure what everyone else's availability was, but I had no AC amiibo in any of the stores in my area, so it basically made this game unplayable for me.

[@reidleblanc3140]

damn this was a fast video turnout, didn't you JUST stream this

[@BlueDavrial]

I feel like while commenting on how good the game is or not it's a MASSIVE gloss-over to not mention you *need* Amiibos (or at minimum Amiibo cards, which you still have to purchase) to play. It's especially notable since you're wanting specific villages for this minigame so you'd need to those specific Amiibos/cards

[@Dagnel]

True that you do and it kinda sucks, but it did come bundled with some Cards at least. Second hand though, probably not

[@lemonexhaustion8525]

Where can I find more of your graphic design?

[@gabrielstar777]

Even though my first experience of desert Island escape was in New leaf my team was Lucky because he has to sniffing decent movement Avery because it's a really good fighter and can defeat the monsters dropping food and medicine a my personal favorite to use Blaire because he can spend the turn cooking food and the order is 1.Lucky 2.Avery 3.Blaire

[@JasperCasper24]

I was so shocked I didn't have an AC game and then I realised "ah, wii U". To an emulator!

[@goose827]

Monopoly speedrun next

[@AamitMorthos]

Personally recommend just playing desert Island escape through new leaf. You don't have to play the boards twice and you get 2 other fun games with it: new leaf and puzzle league!

[@maya15.25]

i dont think ive ever seen someone speedrun a board game and i dont think i ever will again lol

[@nightmarishtaco3434]

It was really funny when Dagnel said “it’s clobberin’ time” and clobbered all over the place

[@lornadune2506]

I have like 3 copies of this game bc my boyfriend found them on clearance for $5 and knew I'd like the amiibo. I've never owned a wii u tho

[@thegrapedoctor13]

I loved watching that stream!

[@lagtduckgirl7993]

This looked super fun!

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

I need a WiiU, but they're still so expensive 😭 I have two Wiis but not a WiiU. I got my amiibo festival when I lived w someone w a Wii U lol

[@pedrovictorsilvaladeira7877]

He set a world record on a game almost nobody played. Nice!

[@MelkiorMonster]

Does Desert Island Escape on 3DS have a category? I loved that side mode when they ported it into the update in NL!

[@GhostHunterDipperPines]

Congrats on getting a world record the same way I won my BPA presentation

[@charlienicole6461]

Only ever play the NL version: my go-to team is Stitches, Marshall, and Julian.

[@teriyakiravioli]

3:26 excuse me?!

[@Benji_00523]

Oh my... He is really insane now.

[@SombreAria]

Wow, great mind think alike. I actually just did a recording of Desert Island Escape myself just over a week ago. Nevertheless your vid was very much enjoyable, as usual. You ask what team I use? I haven't really tried to experiment much, but I really should. I've been using Booker, Stitches & Mitzi recently...

[@Dagnel]

Cubs and Cats are both good from what I saw! If the levels aren't too mountain-y, maybe even better than my team

[@jess0_7]

And a super thanks for your troubles :)

[@Dagnel]

Thank you so much!!

[@Blaster3299]

Surprinsingly this looks fun!

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Was it worth it? Edit: I knew about this mini game but didn't know it was tied to amibo festival

[@jinmalora]

hmm.. You think that the 3ds version of desert island escape in new leaf works for the speedrun? as in is it the exact same thing? i don’t have a wii u but i could totally try it out on 3ds.

[@Dagnel]

It's essentially the same thing. I think to submit the run to speedrun.com it needs to be done on the WiiU though. But mechanically, it is almost identical.

[@jinmalora]

@@Dagnel ahhhh alright, thanks for the info!

[@TheRealN-ULL]

Video idea: 100% all animal crossing games WITHIN 1000HR

[@lumiichuu]

And to think I was there for this historic moment

[@existemoo]

how does this version compare to the NL version? i played that one a lot and loved it. i actually own amiibo festival but i bought it for the amiibos.

[@matthewberry2144]

Ah, amiibo Festival. I'd honestly be less salty about amiibo Festival if it was free at and all you needed were to buy amiibos. But no, it was a full 50 bucks at launch (I think it went down to 20) and sure, it came with an Isabelle and Digby amiibo and 3 amiibo cards, but that's still about 25 bucks for the game. There's just not enough content to justify that price tag, especially considering most of the minigames require more than what you got with the game, so most of the content is locked to you unless you pay even more money. But if we're just talking the game itself, a good chuck of the minigames are really cool and fun, and even the board game can be enjoyable, but if you don't have the amiibos for it, I wouldn't reccomend it unless you can get it cheap.

[@YourFluffyPalSam]

I still have an unopened box with this game and the 2 amiibos, Seeing this i might finally open it and play amiibo festival

[@Dagnel]

You should! It's good fun

[@ExperiencersInternational]

I might actually try this speedrun for a joke, I have Amiibo Festival sitting playing dust, but I think I need to unlock it.

[@Dagnel]

Do the Balloon minigame to quickly get the Tickets you need to unlock it, that's how I did it. It's fun though, hope you try it!

[@ExperiencersInternational]

@@Dagnel think that's the only minigame I have unlocked My total time in Amiibo Festival is about two hours according to my Wii U, but I think it's longer because my USB yeeted a while ago
