Minor correction, but Mips actually appears twice in SM64 and gives 2 stars to Mario. The first time you enter the basement, Mips will be there until you capture him and collect the first star. But after you collect 50 stars, the next time you enter the basement, Mips will return and again, after capturing him will give Mario a second star.

[@TAYBR00K]

Minor correction, but Mips never actually existed in the first place. At least I wish.

Remember when this was just a website with text in black and white and a screenshot of some old game with a simple interesting fact about a game I never knew, and I've been obsessed with what y'all do since then. Thanks for working so hard and wow you've come far. Proud of it

[@youhaveayds8975]

[@MrDrDiablo]

Just wanted to say for the Viagra falls changing too thanks Bob on the board I believe that’s a reference to the late night extenze commercials That used to involve “smiling Bob” whose life was turned around by taking those pills. So it’s actually a pretty thoughtful name change in order to keep the reference mostly while making it far more subtle

[@Inchingwheels]

Thats possible, I assumed it was in reference to Bob Dole who advertised for Viagra the previous year.

[@Eggerhexe]

Very likely. Smiling Bob was my first thought also.

[@GlenLauderdale]

Here's a fun fact I only learned somewhat recently. On the invoice that StarFox gives to General Pepper, the dollar amount stated is 64 times your total score in the game. Blew my mind when I decided to do the math on that.

[@Triforce9426]

Wow I actually do remember the "Here's Juan!" cheat when playing Turok 2 decades ago and always being extremely confused by it. I didn't expect to finally get some context for it all these years later.

[@Linkhaxor]

Minor tidbit/PSA: DK64's crashing problem being 'solved' with the expansion pack didn't even fix the bug, only severely mitigate it. If the game is left on for more than 20 hours*, it'll start crashing again. While this isn't much of a problem on actual hardware (b/c who would leave their N64 on for that long?), this crashing problem still exists in the Wii U Virtual Console version of the game. Wii U owners, make sure you fully reset DK64 when your done playing. *EDIT: Turns out it starts crashing after 10 hours, not 20. Still; not everybody plays games for that long in a day, let alone one game for 10 hours straight.

[@DarkGob]

"Who would leave their N64 on for that long?" I reached Andross' final form in Star Fox 64 for the first time just minutes before I was supposed to leave with my parents to go on vacation. I simply would not have time to try to finish the game, but since (unlike DK64) you can't save your progress I was very reluctant to shut it off...so I just left the console on until we returned a week later. One week later, I returned to find the game right where I left it.

[@tamed4171]

Y'all don't even know how appreciative I am of this channel and its content. I've been here since the very beginning, and I've loved every video since. I'm really glad y'all still make videos and its always a treat when a new one comes out. Keep up the good work.

Viagra falls being changed to thanks Bob is a a reference to the old Viagra commercials starring "smiling bob" while a whistle theme would play and tell about all the benefits he got from, well, Viagra lol

I never get tired of N64 coverage on this channel. Always an immediate click for me

[@gokux75]

Despite not being the strongest console or having the most third party support I never had a PS1 so I have a lot of fond memories of the Nintendo 64.

[@kaihedgie1747]

@@gokux75 Actually was the strongest console of the main three. Of the three, it was the most equipped for 3D graphics and it shows. Sure, not a whole lot of Japanese third party support, but there was still a _lot_ of it there, mainly Western devs with Midway and Rare being the forerunners

[@Duke_Sliscus]

So RE: the DK64 fact: If you hack the game to skip the "expansion pack check" the only thing that doesn't work is the dynamic lighting, this proves that the second version of the story is true.

[@theicepickthatkilledtrotsk658]

About the DK 64 dispute. Rare using it for the lighting seems more believable. Plus you can't pack the expansion pack with every copy of your game at the last minute you have to plan it early on. Marlow might have just misremembered.

[@WilfredCthulu]

Yeah it's 100% that. That on top of Marlow sounding real rambley about it rather than confident. The recent Matt McMucles video clarifies it even more.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

Yeah, I was like... wait, why is this in here, wasn't it just debunked?

[@FrothingFanboy]

@Viewer "IIRC there were also examples of at least one game resetting the entire console to wipe the RAM in loading screens" Pretty sure that was Morrowind on Xbox.

[@evancendrowski687]

Hope Nintendo doesnt take this one down. Love what you guys do!!

I would doubt it since other games weren't made by Nintendo like Tony Hawk. Sure, it's on THEIR Hardware, but I doubt that Nintendo would do it... right?

[@NatesLegend]

Turok 2 was the first game that got me extremely interested in glitches and secrets in games because I found a way to “break” the game. There’s another cheat that allows you to warp to any level you want in the story mode and I found out you could load a game of multiplayer and still use this cheat which warps you and the others over to the story mode levels but you’re still playing as whatever character you picked and have whatever weapons you picked up from the multiplayer game! Sometimes it would freeze the console but most of the time it worked and I thought it was so cool that I figured out how to break the game myself I began to look for glitches and secrets everywhere!

[@CmndrAntilles]

You could turn the game into a bootleg co-op mode like this, but the problem was that none of the teleporters worked when doing it, so you could only play the first section of a level. It was pretty funny to play the start of the 2nd level where you get the tricera-tank like this though.

[@oliverg6643]

I still remember the BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND cheat code

[@HQ_Default]

I actually weirdly like the way Turok looks without model interpolation. Wish there was a version of the cheat that only had that effect without disabling the other effects.

[@marksmithwas12]

16:56 actually Mips appears twice (although both encounters are basically the same) and the animation *is* used if you know how to activate it. Using the glitch to transport Mips through doors, if you bring him to the room in the basement with water before you've pounded the pillars, Mips will do this animation while Mario releases him in the water

[@DP3com]

You guys have REALLY upped your research game and I'm loving it. Thank you for your hard work and efforts.

[@Falzyker]

Imagine being the guy who wrote Fox's signature in that classic. Holy crap that must have felt amazing.

[@sstteev]

Interesting... the only time I got a "toy box aesthetic" from Paper Mario was when I actually jumped in to Shy Guy's Toy Box

[@Mister_Clean]

"Leeroy Blackman" made me absolutely lose my shit Japan is one wacky place

[@oops6876]

Man, Turok was my first N64 game. Seeing those cheats was such a nostalgia trip

[@andrewoid84]

The Big Shows contract with the WWF didn't expire, the WWF were upset with Big Show at the time to punish him they had removed him from TV and sent him to Ohio Valley Wrestling to lose weight and improve his conditioning and that is why he didn't appear in No Mercy

[@wrestlingsportsfederation]

00:12:30 You‘re Right. I was going to say the same. I think for a non Wrestling Fan the fact that they had contractual issues may be more plausible. 😊

[@blacklightmatters4772]

No Mercy came out in 2000. Big Show signed a 10 year contract in 1999. DYKG doesnt know gaming... or wrestling gaming history ;) so to speak. Contract "issues" i dont believe to be a thing as Andre the Giant and Ken Shamrock are in the game. In wwf warzone, the game came out way after Ahmed Johnson, Bret Hart, & British Bulldog had left the company.

[@johnnylchase]

All his cutscenes and placement in the WWF Championship Path were replaced by Steven Richards

[@leeriddick7]

Their other No Mercy fact is also slightly wrong. The transfer pak functionality was to allow you to transfer your character FROM the gameboy color version to the n64, not the other way around.

[@viniciusgomes5147]

Wow, DYKG has been on a roll these last days, releasing great video after another I've been a viewer since 2013 and the latest videos have been some of the best

[@MetroidFREAK21]

I would've loved to see Slippy say "bite me old man" 🤣

[@kid14346]

"This isn't the only N64 game with a small toybox aesthetic" *Me getting really excited someone is going to acknowledge that Army Men: Sarge's Heroes exists* "The other game is of course Paper Mario!" *my soul rends from its body screaming all the way to hell*

[@Granadico]

That Chris Seavor commentary as he played Conker was a treat and I loved watching them as they came out. Its a shame he never finished them.

[@jokx4409]

"Leeroy Blackman" absolutely hilarious

[@LylatKnight]

More Star Fox facts equals happier LylatKnight! Thank you!

[@skootdiggity1301]

Another fine effort from the folks at Did You Know Nintendo Gaming!

[@Atroz7]

Oooh I actually get the “Thanks Bob” reference from Tony Hawk. There was a series of commercials in the US for a product called Enzyte which claimed to offer “Natural Male enhancement”. The commercial starred a man named “Smiling Bob” who was a 30 something man who was always smiling presumably because he now had a honking dong. One of the lines often said to the character was “Thanks Bob!” because through the power of enzyte he excelled in all matters of life including but not limited to golfing, getting work done on time, spreading the gospel of enzyte and presumably “keeping his wife happy”. Hope this reaches you guys

[@deepcovergecko]

N64 facts never get old.

[@GageisME333]

Every time I see any reference of WWF NoMercy for the N64, a small part of me fires up going to hell yeah cause it’s still one of my most favorite N64 games ever

I appreciate the return to broader topics like this. The deep dives are fun too, but sometimes, trivia is more interesting.

[@hazycosmicjive9002]

You could actually play as turok in WWF Warzone if you connected memory card to your controller. He would be one of the template create-a-wrestlers. I havent played it in ~25 years so I might have some details off, but I definitely played as turok in that and I never had any n64 cheat devices.

Looked into this a bit I may have just had like a used memory card where he was already unlocked or something because I can find anything online to back up my claim.

[@actualbeargrills3086]

Love the segues in this video! They were super seamless and clever!! Gave me a good chuckle. Good video guys.

[@Forgado]

Minor nitpick but at 17:08 it is stated that the animation of MIPS falling over is never seen, however this is incorrect! If you use MIPS to clip into the door leading to the room that unlocks the Vanish Cap, you can grab MIPS while inside the door and bring him into that room. (Similar to how the 16 Star Speedrun does it) Doing this, you can not only swim with MIPS, but you can also drop him while swimming, and the "unused" animation will play! Other than that, really solid video as always, I always love learning about older video games.

As a programmer I promise someone spent more than 5 minutes on the language option in Diddy Kong Racing. They I'll bet an English speaking programmer did a lot of work to get that option working with filler text for a translator to fill in later and for whatever reason that never happened.

The "Give It To Me" song from 1080 is actually on KZbin. I'm pretty sure it's actually the high score theme. There's also an unused audio clip in the game that says "Fuck you dude" to me it sounds like it's from the Canadian guy and maybe it's meant to be what happens if you choose to press B and cancel selecting the character. There's also just audio of dogs barking as well. No idea what that's about.

The “Thanks Bob” name switch in THPS is probably a reference to the Enzyte Smiling Bob commercials that were popular around that time. I could be wrong , but I’m pretty sure that’s what it is.
