this is marking a bit of a departure from the idea that any game that I play in one sitting is automatically a "speedrun"; I know those videos typically get more views if I call them that, and I have no plans on stopping doing those entirely (the super meat boy one is in the editing room as we speak!) but I thought I'd start mixing it up a bit. ages ago I streamed games like LIMBO and this lesser known game AntiPodal in one sitting and just by default called them "speedrun"s, and yet calling them that didn't sit right with me. so here we are in monkey world!

9:07 There were a lot of points this game where i jumped or positioned towards empty spots with a single banana and i always ended up dying. What you just explained is exactly my feelings towards this game's secrets because i was never able to find them because apperantly i never readjusted myself properly to be on the offscreen barrel or something. I genuinely thought moments like these is just the game trolling you and me failing is the game teaching me that this can happen and you should not always trust your instincts. I was still left out with a positive experience after finishing the game but seeing this clip genuinely blew my mind and you saying "imagine if the game deceives you" was like being spat on my face. Love your channel btw, i rewatch your videos very frequently Note: I HAVE found secrets in this game, i just completed this game with around 55% and i liked the secrets i was able to find but moments like the offscreen barrels was stuff i was never able to find when i tried to intentionally. The only time i found a cool secret was this one at 13:15. It was not an instant win after that, i got a game over on that level a couple of times afterwards but that's what makes it so cool, the secret feels like a major shortcut yet doesn't beat the level for you. Btw am i the only one who thought the underwater levels were way easier than the ground ones? The only time i struggled with an underwater level was the last one because of the tires Also atmosphere>story in any media imo

"this game taught me to trust bananas with my life" - GrayFruit 2020

[@moonsalibi]

I think the reason these early platformer games (SM64, DKC, things like that) is that there was no super deep lore to it. Like, sure, "Meria go savada pricezz!" and "OOH OOH AHH AHH ME BANANA!", but thats about it. Because of this, there was no struggle to portray super deep meaning within the graphics in terms of some complex story idea, so the graphics are instead just allowed to be good. There is no compromise on creativity for the sake of a storyline. Now, in the current day, this is not a good thing to go by: Hollow Knight, a great metroidvania (platforming/adventure game) has super deep and interesting lore, and the visuals lend itself to that. But that is because the current day offers art programs able to handle the undertaking of making both high-quality and meaningful peices much easier than in the past. Granted, it is still difficult, much respect to whomever can create art in any capacity, but what im saying is that its more complex nowadays. Back then, it was simple artstyles, and these games lended themselves to that. This left probably much more time in the creative department to think of new or interesting platforming tools that are now staples (The barrels, the minecart levels, stuff like that.)

28:03 pretty sure a glitch is a problem in the game due to an over sight in the games coding, but an exploit is taking advantage of intentional coding in the games, meaning that while it technically is unintentional, it isn’t a problem with the coding itself, but rather taking advantage of something intentional to get a result the creators weren’t expecting.
