With the thumbnails, yes it seems you have become a challenge KZbinr, but as it has been highlighted time and time again, you are an outstanding story time KZbinr. The complicated explanations are funny and easy to understand. The stakes are built up. A portion of the struggle felt is real. And you seamlessly direct us on what we should care about. After the first Kirby vids I figured you probably used Tool assistance for all of your runs, but doing this with only gamer skills also puts you firmly into my list of top gamers. Looking forward to the next one!

They have "jobs to do" by default in the game, following their scripted orders, and are getting manipulated to follow their orders out of script in ways beneficial to the glitch runner.

[@kriosuranous3440]

I have seen arbitrary code execution explained many times, many ways, in many games, and never before have I seen it explained so elegantly and simplistically. Wonderful job with that whole segment.

[@fahkyew7776]

damn, the personification of the game's code to explain how the glitches work was masterfully done. i like how this wound up becoming "how to perform an any% speedrun of super meat boy while also pressing the jump button as little as possible" rather than a traditional jumpless challenge video

[@ripstick4591]

THE POPSICLE STICKS, MAN. Loved how you explained the innerworkings of the game in such a fun way. Memory addresses are a pain in the ass to sit through and try to understand, so it made life a lot easier. Dope work!

[@braidonsaelens5174]

I adore the storytelling here. Beautifully done. I would not have understood any of that code stuff otherwise

On the bright side, if the popsicle stick trio get fired from their jobs at memory management, I'm sure they could get a gig as actors in TAS explanation videos. Their careers look bright!

That explanation was really good! Had no idea about the glitch prior to this and the way you presented it made it surprisingly easy to follow, especially in my case where things involving memory addresses tend to go over my head. Excellent stuff as always, and looking forward to the next video.

[@DoonisNoonis]

The explanation of the Wrong Warp glitch was so well made and endearing, making it easy to understand AND funny AND styled to the game (or at least based on a related game, Legend of Bumbo)! It makes me want you to make more videos based on just breaking games as much as possible in fun ways and explaining all the chaos involved. Nice video as always!

[@marcusorta714]

I’ve just came across your content, this being the first video I’ve seen, and you’ve CERTAINLY earned a sub from me for such a brilliant explanation! (Even without the visual gags, which were a cherry on top. The metaphor/personification is really what made it clear, and obviously it helps that being entertaining = more engagement = more likely to pay attention and learn.) That was a tangent. Specifically, I’m mentioning the stack overflow explanation. With what little I know about exploiting tech, I actually thought you were explaining integer overflow at first, and so I did a quick search and now I realize the difference and how similar they are. Better yet, this recontextualizes my understanding, and I feel like wrong warps make more sense now. Anyways, top notch work!

[@PurpleLPikmin]

This was the weirdest and best explanation of memory overflow / manipulation I've ever heard

[@Hidden_Fern]

Really enjoyed how you broke down the wrong warp explanation! I can normally somewhat follow along to that kind of thing but you made it much easier to grasp and it was hilarious with the characters expressions!

my biggest question here is how did u managed to get those bum-bo assets and animate them so well... Omg really awesome job.

Man, you have a very good way to teach memory manipulation, computer engineering, programming and a lot of background work in game development throught these sketches. Good job. I came here after the no pickming challenge. There the "home" to aggression range of the monsters was good explanation too. I love this kind of videos that explain glitches but yours are the first I saw that they explain difficult concepts in an easy way that no programmers will understand. Keep the good work man.

the editing on this is awesome, I love the way that you explain the glitches.

Hey man, I was once also quite into the no jumping challenge and dabbled in it quite a bit to the extent of uploading playthroughs with various characters (mostly naija, captain viridian and steve) as well as glitch explanations like the ones very nicely presented in this video. It warms my heart to know that the challenge finally got the exposure it deserved and you absolutely did it justice. You have my respect :)

[@kratangg-arang]

Something I’ve learned since tagging along after the first kirby TAS video is that a Sample video isn’t merely walking through a video game challenge. It’s a story with dramatically building stakes, often in a cinematic experience. The way you describe strategies and glitches has highs and lows that feel so natural, and your humor is so creatively woven in. It’s not every day someone turns a glitch explanation into a tense scene on the cusp of disaster and tragedy. The ability to make the journey legitimately somber by the end is such a talent as well. Love what you do!
