What's crazy is the code has a second use. It does something as well for the PC version of the game, which is a completely different game. I remember panicking when I got there as I had no idea what the code was for the pc port when I played it, only to randomly guess SD2 and it works. Turns out it says it on screen in that scene, despite Scoob only saying "Game Boy Advance secret code". It definitely added another layer to this when I found out

[@TheMinecraftPaleonerd]

It actually says "Code good for GBA and PC!" on the bottom of the GBA screen in the scene!

Right off the bat - this premise reminds me of a similar mystery. One of the first two Phineas & Ferb DS games has a screen that says "use these in the future" followed by 2-3 codes, but I have NO IDEA where they get used. The next game didn't use them at all as far as I remember.

The movie rightly assumed that everyone had played the game through to completion, and had kept it paused on the final input screen until they were able to discover the appropriate abbreviation for the game title. That's just logic.

I have nostalgia for this game but it's oddly cathartic to see Scott struggle because I remember this game being super hard but assumed it was just because I was a dumb kid.

I thought I was only bad at this game because of my age, turns out it’s just really hard. You falling from the platform in level two unlocked a core memory for me 😭

I had this game on PC and grinded for days to get to the end only to be stopped by a code that I had no idea about. Now that I've seen this, I finally know that all these years of waiting and wondering that I am completely underwhelmed by this game. Thanks for a great video!

[@Malicious_Hero]

Fun Fact for you: The "Abandoned Silver Mine" was actually a copper mine. Its a museum now, has been for a long time. A ton of other movies were filmed there too, and some tv shows. Its the Britannia Beach Mining Museum in BC Canada. Sadly it had a reno some years back so it doesn't look as dilapidated and haunted as it did in the movie, but its still recognizable.

I remember this game rather vividly, this was one of the games I actually played on my Gameboy Advance.

That I loved too with cards you could trade if you had another friend with the game and trading cable (served no purpose, just collction)) My favorite parts were always the shaggy parts. The sled and hide and seek was so fun. I loved the movies too I remembered getting pretty good at the game and it seemed pretty easy for the most part caused I played so much and got used to the old controls and such. I still hated certain enemies like the rats,bats and the flying pterodactyl the most and some extremely precious platforming. That converbelt lvl definitely was the hardest level and took my most lives Tho remember this is a old game, controls and platforming will be rough. Most old gb games are from this early time. Yes, some things could been better in certain in certain areas, but I wouldn't change anything. It was rather fun game once you got got hang of the controls.
