On the topic of missing obvious hints, when I first played Super Mario Galaxy 2, I was so fixated on Yoshi being advertised as playable that I didn't pick up on the level name Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum, and not even the DUN-DUN jingle when a boss cutscene begins was enough to tip me off. It took until the giant Piranha Plant monster came screaming out of the egg for me to realize that wasn't Yoshi.

I remember playing a demo of this game on a gamecube demo disc that was given away as a promo item at stores back in the summer of 2003. It had this, Sonic Adventure DX, Splinter Cell, Soul Calibur 2, and Viewtiful Joe, and while I did end up getting most of these games later, Billy Hatcher for some reason was the one game I never purchased at some point down the line. I think the best we can hope for now is maybe a remaster on the Switch eShop similar to what they recently did with Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.

@SupremeMarioGamer4 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure when a game doesn't register an intended mechanic/action, that's poor testing to make sure it works, moreso than bad level design. Also, the term 'level design' gets used a lot more in this video compared to previous ones, I'm just noticing this as an observation.
@ryancake424 жыл бұрын
Yeah he attributed some of the glitchy flaws to level design, but I would say they're more just bugs that were overlooked in the code
@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective4 жыл бұрын
This is a very fair point. When you see issues like Billy running off straight through a track or failing to properly connect with ledges or rings it seems more like a collision issue than the design of the level and it'd be very surprising that someone would QA test the game without noting it. I will say I do like the energy this game has, it seems really fast paced which is a good thing for me.
@woodenotaku4 жыл бұрын
When a game has multiple near-impossible jumps (in a row especially), that is something I'd attribute to poor level design. Part of level design is knowing just what the player can and can not do. If a series of jumps is only a few pixels too high then that is a failure of level design. The designers knew exactly what a standard jump is capable of, but decided for some reason to make these few jumps a little too high. QA didn't catch it cause if it's at the end of the game, they can ofc do it on the first try. 200 hours of practice will do that. But for the average player at the end of an 8 hour game? Nearly impossible. And it is not the QA that failed. It is level design. They did not design around known parameters. They designed around what QA can do. And that is shit design, because the level designers knew exactly what the player can do, they just didn't give a shit.

This is kinda same feeling as like in case of sheeps and wolves. Sure, there has been a function they serve as parables, but overall wolves seem as species to have more qualities which I guess any Christian would approve (ability to work as team, loyalty, one-partner relationships) and sheeps are just kind of... stupid. Or maybe those parables were actually up something...
@icarus2120014 жыл бұрын
I feel like the issue isnt so much the design of the levels (because they are mostly engaging and clever). The issue has more to do with programming and collision detection. The egg should've been programmed to sort of get sucked onto the pathing of the rail once you let go, and Billy should be the landing point rather than the egg (so you dont fall off edges). Interactions are too tight and should've been loosened (such as with the final boss's purple goop).

Speaking of fever dreams, I've got Poinie's Poin on the mind lately, thanks to Vinesauce. It's a little pile of batshit for the PS2, and it follows the colorful fairytale adventures of this Osamu Tezuka-looking reject named Poinie, who lives in Jelly Town and wants to see a space pirate movie. He's then chased by our presumed antagonist, a brat with sunglasses named Lolo, and he and this girl Lilin fall into a sewer. Poinie explains that his mother is missing, and so Lilin bestows upon him the power of poin, which manifests in the form of a wisecracking butt-duck who sounds like Eric Cartman and uses the color green as an insult. Now Poinie can hold the poin, throw the poin, combine the poin, and thus affect the emotional state of anyone around him. Lolo also has some hip-thrusting Hell-neow minions with her, and together they corrupt Lilin with bad poins. This is the first boss fight of the game, and also the point in which Vinny stops playing.

Here's a tip: The circus rings that swing like trapezes are easier to use with smaller eggs. I almost always get the right position with them using a small egg because of the smaller hit box, so less chances to undershoot and hit the ledge. Also when you have to do a bounce jump to reach a higher ledge, if it's got extra ground on the higher ledge and not like the pillars in Giant Palace, just roll in midair. Then you won't have to worry about Billy falling off the edge. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="855">14:15</a> One more frustrating thing, if this happens to you, it's technically not the game's fault, it means you must've missed a pixel of sludge, so the game registers that pixel as still part of the sludge pool. You have to clean that stuff absolutely spotless, otherwise it doesn't count.

Just rebought this gem for my GameCube two weeks ago. I loved the hell out of this game as a kid but never beaten it, I believe I was stuck on the circus park with the same “egg & rail” issue. Multiplayer mode was pretty fun too, I remember my cousin and I would have a ball 😊

Just finished last night, and I agree with absolute everything, including the golden egg segment and the final boss. I'll add one thing, in the end game I felt like the levels were TOO big, and because of those level design flaws, started to really piss me off. It is genuinely a good game, but also a very infuriating one. I just finished because I really wanted, but man... Fantastic video as always!

I know it's been commented before, but I wanna provide some info for the kids spelling out Giant Egg that few people provide. They're spelling it out as G-I-AN-T. They kinda run-together the A and the N so it sounds like "ayen". The soundtrack has a track on it called "Lesson E.G.G!" which is pretty much just the kids practicing the chant, only slower and more pronounced, so you can really hear them emphasize "A-N-T" as separate letters.

@ninjabuddy14 жыл бұрын
I haven't played this for awhile but I feel like you're supposed to kick the egg towards the railing to separate yourself from it, it looks inertia based. Alternatively you're intended to hop on the railing with the egg and the level is designed with a door so you can move back and forth if you lose the egg

No he explicitly said it's bad design that there's a door there, and he kept just leaving the egg at the ledge. I watched the whole vid before I posted it because he tends to explain what to do later on but I don't think he was correct this time.

In my language, "Eggs" is a slang word for "testicles", which makes the game's name much funnier.

A friend had this game as a kid and I traded him something for it. Probably one of my most played GameCube titles honestly, completed the story and sunk tons of time into the multiplayer. My friends and I would just let everyone grind out the coolest pets from eggs and then fight, or race, or other competitions unrelated to the game mode. I used to love dicking around in games that didn't have a free roam/play mode

Am I the only one that thinks that Sonic Team's other games like Nights, Billy Hatcher, and Phantasy Star are so much better than Sonic games? Even the ones that people praise as good like the Adventure games, Sonic Heroes and Unleashed have so many more flaws than any of Sonic Team's other games or Sega games in general. The only thing Sonic has going is nowadays 90's nostalgia and the design of the characters. This drives me so crazy with SEGA. They have so many good games and concepts but it really seems that only Sonic really sells well. And Sonic games aren't even good, the only reason they sold so well in the past is because of the character. But that's it!

Billy Hatcher was the first game I bought after getting my GameCube. My sister and I played the multiplayer so much that I had to buy a second copy because my first copy would not work on either my GameCube or Wii or any other console. The TV ad for the game was also one of the advertisements that stood out in my childhood memories and was one reason why I wanted a GameCube
@ZanyWitch74 жыл бұрын
One example I find funny about Billy's irrelevance at the time was with Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed where there was a Billy Hatcher track in the game. Billy's FRIENDS can be seen as background cameos, but Billy himself is no where to be found in the game. Likely he was planned to be in the playable roster before being cut from it (just my guess).
