Ranking Every Kingdom Hearts Minigame

[@RegularPat]

EDIT: Due to circumstances in Chris' personal life, he has had to shut down the company. He reached out to let me know this a few days ago-- even still, I want to say it was a pleasure working with him, and I'm sure he appreciated the interest you all had in those delicious cookies. Thank you all for an amazing 4 years

"Envy just breeds greed" -Regular Pat, during the 40th entry of his kingdom hearts minigame ranking

[@edgeofultima7483]

The Classic Kingdom minigames were Nomura's idea, because his parent wouldn't buy those kinds of games for him when he was a kid . This is from the Ultimania Interview. Q: Conversely, "Classic Kingdom", which is based on old LC (liquid crystal) games, was nostalgic to the generation [of players] who know that era. A: My idea was, because each mini-game is modeled after a short film, just like the other Disney works, one mini-game would be treated as its own world. I say "world", but there's no map, and each mini-game has only one screen [laughs]. Personally, although LC games were extremely popular when I was a child, my parents never bought any for me, so when I grew up I bought them myself, and now I own dozens of them. I wanted to make a smartphone RPG using LC game-style graphics, so a proposal was made [to use them] for something not KH-related [in the past]. That deep desire changed form and was able to take shape. If it's possible, I'd really like to make a real "Classic Kingdom"-style LC game console.

[@DarkOverlord96]

"If it's possible, I'd really like to make a real "Classic Kingdom"-style LC game console." OH MY GOD that's literally one of my most-wanted piece of merch, a KH-themed LCD console (shaped like the Gummiphone, please) with all the Classic Kingdom Games installed!

Im surprised how many voice clips you were able to scrounge up of characters mentioning “games” for the individual spots. That goes for all the ranking videos. It’s a cute touch

[@RegularPat]

there are about 2 or 3 more that i didn't use, i was also surprised. though some of the ones I used here are gameless for a funny

[@appelofdoom8211]

Im assuming Pat used the wayfinder project so scrounging them up by itself wasn't that difficult (of course creating the project in the first place was the hard part but you know). Still surprised by how often its said though

[@8bitNuke]

The Fruitball segment had me absolutely cackling. Genuinely every line is pure gold. "Did you ever have a sleepover or similar sort of get-together as a kid where one of the main events was everyone just sorta beating the shit out of each other for an hour?" made me laugh the hardest I have all week. I can _feel_ the chaos emanating from your description of the game. Absolutely delightful.

[@ThePrincessUmbrella]

same!! I was laughing so hard I snorted at fruitball

[@Khlaylav]

"Let's watch a little longer" is easily the most sociopathic dialogue in Kingdom Hearts, and it's hilarious.

[@novemberbravo6194]

Dear Pat, I realise this will probably get lost in the pile, but I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. You're far and away my favourite KH channel; I love your dry, wry sense of humour, the level of detail with which you delve into every aspect of these wonderful games, and the enthusiasm and positivity that you bring to everything you take the time to make and share with us. You're one of a select few channels that, regardless of the content you make, I consider worth watching purely for your attitude. In what feels like an ever more cold and cynical world, people like you radiate positivity the way that Kingdom Hearts radiates Light or Sora radiates pure Good Boi-ness. And on days like today, when things seem rough, I can't tell you how valuable that is. Thank you; I hope that everything is going well in your life and does so going forward. As always, you continue to be a huge inspiration for my own content, and I can't think of a more sincere compliment than that. Best, -NB

[@jevawoah]

my favorite thing about these ranking videos is seeing how many fitting voice lines you can find

[@isenokami7810]

I loved how the KH2 manga tried to make the Struggle balls make sense outside of video game logic. As in, contestants got fitted with Velcro helmets and vests that the balls were attached to. Also, I vaguely remember Vivi dropping a yellow ball only in the cutscene where he one-shots Seifer. And to this day I’m still way too disappointed that we never got to see that color in gameplay. Actually, now that I say that, three or four player Struggle would’ve been awesome.

Also yes, I'd kick your ass at commandboard. #missedop

Stuff like the festival dance are what makes The Kingdom of Corona come to life. Along with all of the other little things you can do. It's a large reason why I love KH3 so much. Its just oozing with charm in several areas.

[@darkAwesome100]

The multiples of 9 actually get even weirder. Whatever number you multiply 9 by, the first digit of the answer will be that initial number minus 1. 5*9=45. 5-1=4. 2*9=18. 2-1=1. 9*9=81. 9-1=8. This pattern continues up to and including 10*9. Since you know that both digits have to add up to 9, and the first digit is always one less than the initial number you multiplied, you can quickly find the answer to X*9. The first digit is X-1, the second digit is 10-X. Yes I have thought about this too much. No I'm not normal.

[@MischieflyInanimate]

Dont forget the hand trick. If you do 9*3, you count your 3rd finger from the left (my left middle finger) you have 2 fingers on the left, 7 on the right, the answer is 27. Only works if you have 10 fingers though lol.

[@dmas7749]

here's something about 3's which is the square root of 9; if you take the sum of the digits of a number divisible by 3, it will still divide by 3

[@pokemonduck]

it is literally just 10 * x - x

[@darkAwesome100]

@@pokemonduck ... oh fuck you're right

[@kev1nno]

There's even more to it than that too. In mathematics, there's a thing known as the "digital root" (which just means adding all the digits of a number together, recursively), and the digital root being 9 continues even after 9x10 9x11 = 99 --> 9+9 = 18 --> 1+8 = 9 9x12 = 108 --> 1+0+8 = 9 9x13 = 117 --> 1+1+7 = 9 This pattern continues forever. The digital root of any number multiplied by 9 is always 9

I'm the most impressed that you were able to find so many quotes of characters saying "games" in some shape or form; I didn't even realize the series had so many sentences with that word in it; that can't have been easy to track down/edit into this video that's an incredible amount of detail on your part!

I’m 26 and I feel super nostalgic with the classic kingdom games. I remember getting similar type games from fast food restaurants like McDonald’s.

[@oceanmixer]

The sound bites between rankings have got to be my favorite part in these videos, idk why it's so entertaining to hear kh clips out of context.. Also amazing video, incredibly entertaining as always. I love how much you mentioned the 'satisfaction' aspect of minigames. Like even if it's basic, the visual and audio cues make the honey-collecting games so much fun to play. Even when you're not getting the best score, the experience is entertaining enough to make you want to try again and that dramatically increases the replay value

[@grlgoddess2]

I'm pretty sure half my BBS playtime is just from the command board. It's just...entrancing

[@TheGamedawg]

Flick Rush is really easy to cheese with either of the fish Dream Eaters. They have a move called Spout that shoots a pillar of water that lasts just long enough for you to refill all your cards. So basically, use a ton of cards to make a powerful Spout, refill them, and repeat until you win.

[@bytewizerd2712]

Never stop putting this amount of effort into your videos. If you make reference to something, even if its a throwaway bit, and I see it on screen, that matters to me. Great video

32:25 I'm pretty sure it's based on how far the nut has travelled, which includes the first part of the path, before it's within attack distance. When I replayed recently I jumped off the log and hit it basically as soon as I could and smashed the pot in one hit

[@treebmasterfunk]

I actually think the points are based on the sound the nut makes. When the inflection goes up it’s 1 point and when the inflection is down the points are higher

as far as I'm aware, the quickslide command is actually one of those commands that shows up if you wait long enough. Kinda like how during the 1v1 against xemnas, the later you use the reaction command, the better the result.

My favorite minigame is the Pit Cell cluster minigame when you first get to Tron, because I had drank two 40s and I was drunkenly like “I want to play a video game before bed!” I was conveniently able to accomplish that task before I passed out on the couch in a pool of my own drool.

Eeyore is complaining to Roo about "tackses", Rabbit is chiming in, pretending he understands what they are, and claiming that he pays them because it's part of being a grown up. At some point Roo points out that with the way Eeyore is describing them it seems there's no way he'd have to pay them since he lives off the grid in the woods. Eeyore admits he just knows they exist somewhere and wanted to complain about them and now Rabbit looks like a lying fool.

[@cookubanana]

I want to congratulate and appreciate all the work you put on this videos. Like, some probably don't think too much about the Minigames of a particular series and when making this video you didn't take the lazy and simple way out. You did put on the work or talking about each entry, inserting your style of script and humor on each one. When you reach the Kingdom Games entry I was expecting for you just gloss over, but you actually made the effort of talking about all of them individually. I might not had grew up with LCD games, but Mr. Game & Watch had been my main since Meelee and I love how they reference so many of the classic Mickey Shorts from the 30s and I for certain am happy that you actually went ahead and talk about them. Also, You yourself converted me in to the Command board stan, I saw you play it and I thought they were cool, really wish if there were actual multiplayer in the re-releases. Honestly I wish it could be it's own game somehow. Back on topic, I want to make it clear that I appreciate a bunch the effort you make for this videos, you probably didn't thought you would reach the 1 hour mark, but you went ahead and did it and I think the result is amazing and interesting! Fantastic work, Pat!
