JUNE ZOOM 3 FINALE

June Zoom 3 didn't see the amount of videos I would've liked; even getting this video out took a lot of effort after I got hit with (and recently recovered) from COVID-19. I wish things could've gone different but I hope you enjoy the finale regardless. Thank you!!
Here's the wallpaper I used in this video:

The people have spoken, looks like this channel is going to become solely dedicated to tasting anything and everything that exists in a video game. Except for Pikmin of course (Are we ever going to get a video explaining your hatred of Pikmin?) There's such a simple yet magical feeling of having your comment read here, even if for only a split second. Thanks for all the hard work you put in this past june zoom!

[@sippingthepeachsoda]

zoom is really the only KZbinr that could upload a video meant for june in the middle of august

[@glitchyguru6468]

I'm glad you stuck it through to get this finale out. We're always looking forward to your content, whether it occurs within the month of June or the 11 others!

[@glitchyguru6468]

40:19 hehe that's me! I have to agree with you, the glitz pit and the train level were the highlights of TTYD!

[@CharmCityGamer]

Thanks Zoom, it was well worth the wait. It's just an extra-long month of June!

[@memyselfishness]

Amazing work, your dedication is insane. Looking forward to what you have in store.

[@GeorgeLifo]

ZoomZike's the kind of person who can make a video on literally anything and still manage to make it interesting, enjoyable, or both. Love your content, dude (albeit sometimes lurkin' during streams and video comments)! Hope you're feeling better from Covid, and keep up the awesome work!

[@SportsGaming-ll3ru]

Hope your feeling better my dude, JUNE ZOOM NEVER DIES :D

[@dededeleted4793]

I don't know how I completely missed your video on the blueshell power-up and now I feel dumb, but besides that, this was a very fun and peaceful video to watch!

[@FoxerTails]

Man, it took me a couple sittings to get through this video, but I'm glad I finally did! Sorry to hear you got COVID midway through this project but I'm glad you've recovered since then. I quite enjoyed the design analysis of the NSMB levels and can't wait to see what other game design breakdowns of various mechanics or levels you have in store for the future. I'm also glad your channel is growing so much! I think I joined either around the time the Lost Valley design analysis or Michiko Sakurai's History video were uploaded. Keep up the awesome work!

[@b1con411]

Thank you for doing this!!!! I can't imagine the amount of work you put into it! Anddd you should definitely play Super Princess Peach -- the "emotions as powers" mechanic is definitely not ideal haha but it's one of my favorite games :)

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

Glad that you're feeling better! Also glad June is FINALLY over, we're now that much closer to winter, which is my favorite.

[@TheFlyingFire]

Really cool to see this behemoth of a video finally come out. Great work!

[@MySOisaTurnip]

Yeah, now that you mention it. Wario and Waluigi have so much personality it's absolutely criminal they haven't been used more. For example, in the intro to Mario Power Tennis. I don't know how many times I've watched that silly little 5 minute intro but seeing Wario & Waluigi actually interact with one and other really just makes me want a game where they go out and do crimes or something. They could AT LEAST put Waluigi in a WarioWare game and I think I'd be content. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my question thoroughly. That really meant a lot!

[@icicleditor]

55:05 there i am, zike, there i am! thanks for the sick june zoom, i really enjoyed it, even if i didnt hop in on the streams as much as i watched the main vids

[@CinnaSwirls]

I did enjoy and I do appreciate. It took me a while to get through this video but I wanted to see it through, you did a good job.

[@Sir_Twiggy]

I see the 1:21-1:23 among us! Made me think my screen broke when it flashed lol

[@Joshyboy225]

Even if things didn’t go the way they planned, I hope you at least enjoyed doing this year’s June Zoom! Looking forward to the next!

[@pheelr]

ahaha your opinion on Birdo is more than fair tbh. thank you for this video, you do such amazing work!! this was the first june zoom i got to witness (and be a part of :D) so it was so fun to see this!

[@Kiwi-fl8te]

Note: what you've played and talked about in this video is Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart, which is a mod of the original Sonic Robo Blast 2 fangame, which is not a kart gale and is quite good with some fun level design (hence why they asked for an analysis). I definitely recommend you play the game regardless

[@thehypist2587]

1:37:44 Hey, that’s me! So happy that you like the Francis level in SPM. One of the few games to predict neckbeards before they became mainstream on the internet!

[@OwnRogers25]

30:34 Honestly, sometimes simplicity is the best answer so you're not wrong. :) I do enjoy the Morphball as well and have some of the fondest memories rolling around in the Metroid Prime games because the 3rd person perspective is so nice! Also thank you kindly for reading my comment; I put a late comment for the last June Zoom so it is an honor to be featured in this one. Keep up your awesome energy, ZoomZike, we love it!

[@sonicrulez6916]

“Oh yeah, I’ve played SRB2!” (proceeds to talk about SRB2 KART

[@seagrot8960]

BIG AGREES ON GAMMA VERY GLAD YOU FEEL THE SAME. perfect character arc. chef kiss. i think a resurrection Could work as like, an eggman being awful ploy, but itd be ridiculously tragic and i dont think itd add a whole lot at this point unless we really threw back to adventure story days. ANYWAY TY FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT, LOVE THE JUNE ZOOM, LOVE U, BACK TO WATCHING THE REST OF THIS MADNESS

[@psycholuigiman]

Nice. Xenoblade Chronicles was a good choice. I hadn't thought about it cuz it has been so long, but living arrangements in that world seem to be pretty great. Beds, furniture, space, quality-of-life stuff, it's all there. A fairly comfortable place for NPCs. Just gotta deal with mechanical monstrosities and giant bugs right outside of town, but hey, I asked about living space, not the world itself. Thanks so much. Your dedication to your fanbase is the inspiring stuff of legends. I hope you haven't been hard or sorry for yourself due to everything that happened. None of that was your fault and I think we all, as fans, want you to be as healthy and happy as possible. You're such a good guy, and you should be proud of all the positivity you bring to the world. Have a good day, and thanks again for taking the time to do this crazy awesome project.

[@cecillewolters1995]

Huge freaking respect that you made this man like wow! Great job! And if you ever want to get into speedrunning, here's a tip: Choose a niche game or category for fun, chances are big there are either no records or you can beat them without having full mastery of the game. I got a world record in Mario 64 by getting the most stars possible without using the A button and glitches. People can improve it by either beating the time or get 1 star more. Just find something like that and have fun seeing how you yourself optimise a run, it's a fun experience to have :)

28:40 LOOK MOM THERE I AM! I'm sure you get that request a lot, but thanks for responding anyway. Also, I can't believe I didn't think of this at the time, but I'd love to see an in-depth analysis of Wuhu island from Wii Sports Resort. Thank you based zoom

[@MrMariosonicman]

hyped to hear about the cross level analysis for sonic heroes X3. thanks for a fun june zoom.

[@DustD.Reaper]

Seeing my own suggestion for the perfect Chaos Chao reminded me that I still havent even finished making my own Chaos Chao.

[@Stbaa77]

Ayo got mine in, hell yeah! I did see the Boundary Break video on it, actually I think it might be the reason I chose that as my suggestion, I mainly just want to see your reaction and thoughts on some of the out of bounds stuff.

[@Lykrast]

Hell yeah glad you liked the mario party boards as places to live idea!

[@carolinfardal]

There I am at 22:35! Excited to hear you'll do a tier-list, with a (re)confirmation that you'll play more of the series! Definitely agree with the ending cases being some of the best in every game, the absolute highlight of JFA especially is 2-4, with how average the rest of the game is (2-3 is definitely the worst in the trilogy, even if it's not quite *as* bad as some people make it out to be, and 2-1 and 2-2 are fine but pretty average). Even if the best and worst cases are pretty obvious, I'm still curious how you rank the cases specifically, which of 1-4, 1-5, 2-4, and 3-5 are the best and worst, and how you rank some of the more in-the-middle cases, like how you rank 1-3 and 3-3 against each other!

[@banjopawmaville6736]

Glad you got better. No worries about not having more videos. You got nice content!

[@purpleninja3938]

Toadette's first appearence was in Double Dash, as Toad's partner character, continuing the tradition of the best Mario characters appearing as partners for existing ones!

[@Starpotion]

I'm probably one of the few that caught you referencing Grisaia (hearing The Town Where You Are in one of your videos was a treat since it's my favorite track), I've only played the first but it also has a special place to me as the spiritual successor to Katawa Shoujo which I also enjoyed. I do however think the subject matter might be way too heavy for this channel and would probably fit better on a separate one.

[@TheIncredible2IC]

I took a similar path, going from Katawa Shoujo to Grisaia. Both are fantastic.

[@ABHyt]

Should rename the series summer zoom at point. But, nah in seriousness it's great to see the video finally out and am excited to finally get into this nearly 3 hours video.

[@Yuti640]

One thing i do gotta say is to really try to not stress yourself out over uploading constantly or doing things that you say that you would do from my own personal experience, i know for a certain fact that it's good to take breaks when it's neccessary, since if you force yourself to do things, you'll just burn out and things will become much more infrequent anyway i know people always say this, and you've definitely heard this a billion times, but SERIOUSLY, do not push yourself too hard, do things when you want to and when it'll not break you to do so the pendulem does go the other way too, of course don't let yourself get absolutely lazy and do nothing at all but take things slow and take breaks when you need to, and seeing that this video is releasing in august, it gives me hope that you are doing so best wishes to you, Zike, and keep Rockin on!

[@Zethoro]

1:27:30 oh cool, there it is. Should've asked something better in hindsight, but may as well get the info out there anyway; I found out weeks after posting this that TheReflexWonder has actually made a video on this, so it's not doomed to being completely unknown until IL:MPS. Good job on this behemoth of a finale! Agree that even if the second half didn't really happen, this is probably the best June Zoom so far. The first half was packed with phenomenal videos.

[@papermario332]

After the long wait. It’s finally here

[@AFoxOnTheInternet]

10:15 oh look it's me! 😅 But for real, listening to these suggestions and your takes was a lot fun! Thank you for taking the time on making quality content throughout June and taking the time to go over the 1000+ comments. Glad to hear you're doing better after Covid and I hope you get some rest from all of this. Looking forward to your future uploads and Identifying Luck for MP7 later in the year! 😄

[@mattvillegas6355]

YOOOOOO IT’S ZOOMZIKE AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH Hope you’re doing ok bro. Take care of yourself. Glad to see you back. Hope lady Zike is doing ok too

[@dreamj2550]

1:33:18 good to know you will look into it. Also I'm glad you are feeling better now man.

[@Zepeup]

18:34 It me. Also if it was Miyamoto writing these books, then I guess he got some writers block for the games since Sticker Star. Speaking of Sticker Star, I’m looking forward to the video on it! I totally respect changing the approach to the video from the original proposal in order to make a more genuine video. Although if it had been the case where you lost more of the games on that day, and you had to say that Sticker Star was BETTER than the first few games, then it would be a different case.

[@weirdox5007]

Not exactly what I was expecting, but nice nonetheless. Also wow you were accurate on that guess in the beginning, only a minute off your prediction at 6:10.

[@tyulk3173]

YOOOOOO YOU'VE CONSIDERED IT I will go to sleep satisfied tonight Really though, dang, this is such a big video man, there's so many people asking you to taste test things lol. Congratulations on enduring this as well as June Zoom in general, and staying committed to it despite the irl disruptions. I really appreciate the work you've put into them ♥️ Thanks a lot for filling my days with nintendo-filled joy

[@partystar91]

Interesting that you didn’t mention Delfino Plaza but I guess you did already make a whole video called “Super Setting Sunshine”. Also, Magicant has always looked really appealing to me as well! It does seem very… comfy. Love the content, and thanks for answering my question! (1:34:17 for anyone wondering) Edit: Just finished the video, and damn it's so crazy how much effort you put into this video. I didn't know that over 1,000 people replied to that post, yet you responded to (almost) every single comment on the post. That's dedication, and it's seriously commendable. Can't wait for more ZoomZike content down the line!

[@BrandonDilbeck]

Great video! Loved every minute!

[@DPStation]

27:30 ZoomZike completelly forgets about every single 2D water level in the entire Mario Series

[@michaelsleeman2443]

Yay I made it in @ 20:00 ...aw I was hoping that it would have been a figurative treat to try the space candy. I'll try and think of something better next year if you do something like this again... Maybe how a series could be genre bent? Edit: got to the end, yeah I think that's fair not doing this kind of finale again.

[@CinnaSwirls]

I think by Sonic Heroes level set, Caribbean Wolf means levels that come in a pair, like Seaside Hill and Ocean Palace. Every odd level is followed by a similar even level.

[@Hadaron]

No way. I saw this and thought “wow I’ll never find my comment”, scrubbed to 8:25 and as soon as Kosmic’s (great channel btw) finishes, there I am. Thanks for answering my long-winded question! I’ll have to wait for that Vex video! EDIT: just looked it up, found it eventually. I didn’t know it was spelled Vexx but I’ll definitely give it a look!

[@andre_601]

40:59 Well.... Given the context it makes sense. This is Luigi's first time working with it (Ignoring any titles that may say otherwise because afaik is there a Mario & Luigi title that shows him using it?), so it makes sense that E-Gadd is giving him a full tutorial on how to use it. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

[@NamelessFiver]

Update to my comment then, you should totally play the Jak series! Definitely an classic series from the olden days, I highly recommend.

[@springgreen7930]

1:32:04 there i am! Happy to hear you will get to analyzing SA1 stuff soon!

[@YourContractHasExpired]

Ah, I had some questions back when the post was up, but I forgot to participate, was too busy with solving problems that came up and it completely slipped my mind :( Congrats to everyone who got into the video, though!

[@RocketDoesStuff]

28:27 Thanks for the answer! I can understand your frustration with the reused level themes, but it never really bothered me because they gave a unique spin on each of them. Act 1 starts out as fairly similar to the original, but then in Act 2 they throw in some new gimmicks and ideas to keep things fresh. It's not like Sonic Forces where they copy/paste old themes and do absolutely nothing to make them stand out from previous incarnations (except, well, sand, I guess). Glad you agree that the Hard Boiled Heavies are cool, though!

[@henrycervantes249]

Great job dude!

[@GMXrd]

1:38:27 Thanks for the response Zike! The Ring of Chaos is my favorite too!

[@superstarblue2706]

20:30 Extremely hot take but I think Security Hall is the best Rouge stage because it challenges what you've learned from Treasure Hunting stages, especially if you do Hero > Dark. However, doing Dark > Hero is a big difficulty spike. I like replaying Security Hall because it helps to hone your Treasure Hunting skills.

[@gamecubeguy214]

1:55:11 Yes! And I think it's actually quite good. I always thought that Cario Party wasn't *completely* worthless, because I'm sure there are plenty of players who see Mario Party simply as a means to play some minigames with friends, and board gameplay is something that ties it together. The ultra simplicity of Cario Party makes it work just fine, especially when the minigames are good, even if I can't say it's particularly fun. But I think Shrek Super Party from 2002 took the idea of straight line board gameplay and made it much better than what ND Cube could have ever thought of. You do travel on a straight line, but that straight line is a branch along with 4 others that stems from a center point. And you actually do move independently of other players. Instead of a dice block, you move by playing a physics based game of dropping a ball onto a 3x3 grid. You can get good at this and learn to execute a strategy, but since it's still rather common to mess up a little bit, you'll still have to end up working with what you get. Perhaps you feel confident in your minigame skill, so you land on a bug trading space to set up for an even better total of bug juice from the next minigame. You can get pixie dust and intentionally go to the evil bog, just to use the pixie dust to go back to the same realm and stall out the ever-increasing pot at the end. Or, you can memorize the pixie dust spaces on each realm and send somebody else to the evil bog to steal their dominance over that realm that has the most drops in the pot. The minigame lineup is quite solid; the only major stinker is Hopping Helmets, but most others are very good minigames that I find fun to come back to and go for score, especially Sewer Rats and Petal Plucker. I guess the only thing to complain about is that minigames show up perhaps way too often, as they're triggered by abundant minigame spaces rather than Mario Party's per-turn system. It's definitely not enough to hamper the enjoyment, though.

[@globingoblin]

Holy shit 2 hours? Amazing, you're so cool Edit: I loved your answer to my comment, thank you!

[@DaNintendude]

Also nooo, my suggestion wasn't in the video! 😭 No shade though. The fact you did over 1000 comments is insane, and I enjoyed the video regardless. Edit: It's possible it was in the video and I missed it. I _was_ watching at 2x speed, so it the response was super short I could've just not seen it

[@Malowith]

2:06:30 When I first commented this, I didn't realize how BIG this video would be. When I later edited it to loosen my request, I STILL didn't realize. I totally get you not doing it. When I started the video, realized it's size, and noticed how less structured it was than last time, I knew it wasn't happening. A 1/10 seems fair. Ones and zeroes fit into my computer aesthetic, so I can call it binary and take a half score.

[@Frrixy]

Vex? are you talking about the flash platformer? Because if so YOOOOOOOOOO THAT GAME WAS SICK. I remember playing all of the *three* and now *four* games, and the level editor (that I think it had one lol). The fact you said it got a console release makes me think that you're not talking about that game, but I don't care, Vex Flash was a very fun and challenging game that I really liked.
