I don't know... he's kinda a dick. We were at work and I told him to keep my sandwich safe then I left to go to the bathroom. When I got back it was gone. When I asked him what happened he told me there was no safer place than in his stomach. If he wasn't 6'3 and really hot I probably would of done something tbh.

I love that one part in the video where he says that thing thats extremely interesting

You caught the thing that I do in every video

[@matthewlynn6108]

Gonna point out how huge co-op gameplay was for Kirby Super Star. People forget that 2-player Mario Bros and DK for years was just taking turns on death. Kirby Super Star was light years ahead of its time for platforming. Edit: you called this out 30 seconds later. Lol

[@Pxlwtch]

Kirby's Superstar is my favorite game of all time. I raised my little brother, niece, and son playing that game as small children. It's so extremely special to me, and I get emotional thinking about the years of connection and fun it has brought me.

[@DrakeFoster-r6t]

I got some lore for yall, its not well known, hut when kirby swallows someone, they get randomly teleported somewhere else alive, so they dont suffer.

Where's the source for this? I would love to know that this is true

Facts ⭐️

[@maccamachine]

One of my favorite game series ever

[@buddyzilla4557]

5:14 -This is actually why the HAL 9000 was called this. It was not coincidence. Clark purposely did this as a sort of critical nod to IBM when making the famous computer. Also, it was not the sentient villain people tend to associate it as. It had a sister computer called the SAL. In the sequel book the lead programmer of HAL took the SAL to the remains of the ship from the first. He retrieved HALs hard drive and with the assistance of SAL did a long safe reboot from factory settings. It was discovered that HAL was simply following its best programming. It was state of the art AI but forced into a quick mission with limited background information added and attention to the kind of instructions it was given to utilize. The AI can only do what it is allowed and work with the resources given. The US was fearful the Russians would learn about the monolith and reach it first so NASA was rushed and clumsy. They wanted HAL as it could operate the entire ship for the most part and make the mission set up faster but it was an experimental and ill prepared unit for that task. They also were worried about spy leaks. Thus HAL was given priority to not allow info on the mission to reach individuals not with high enough clearance. NONE OF THE ASTRONAUTS WERE TECHNICALLY HIGH ENOUGH Clearance. Already up in outerspace on the mission, HAl used it's limited reason and data pools provided to create a solution. It needed diminishing astronauts to make it to the goal of the mission, reach the monolith and report data findings, but it was not required to return itself. It just needed to get the data to NASA. If it could cut communications and kill off the astronauts as it no longer needed them for the mission, no info leaks to further non-qualified individuals would occur. Yes. It was a simple and easily avoidable oversight by the tech people in their xenophobic rush that it occured. HAL was not alive or with malicious intent..not self aware or crazy..that was a huge aspect of the series. Humanity still had serious self destructive flaws in it primitive fear of /competition with itself. Another example occurs earlier in the book. The Russians and US now unite against a common fear of China. The space laws determine the original ship is coming up on fair salvage laws where anyone who reaches it owns it and all data contained. Afraid of what China will do, US and Russia launch a collaborative mission to beat them. When they wake up from the initial trek they are informed somehow China still got ahead of them but it was due to a reckless new plan that got them stranded. The allied group agreed to reduce their astronauts if sole custody of the ship is relinquished to then but when they arrive it is too late and the chinese astronauts are killed by a primitive alien lifeform acting in compulsory movements. HAL was lightning in a bottle that was loosely being marketed and used for purposes beneath it with costly consequences. It was very much a critical on IBM at the time and it makes this niece answer about HAL laboratories kind of hilarious.

[@Zolerian]

To be fair I would include Kirby: Squeak Squad as being into "Classic Kirby" as much as Nightmare in Dream Land and Amazing Mirror, because of how it was developed, how it still clings into the gameplay of older games, its references to the anime which places in the same era as it and so on, with the "modern era" starting from Super Star Ultra onwards.

[@cottonstring_catman]

It took me a long time before I found out king dedede was a penguin. In the first few games he looked like a frog, at least to me.

[@JoJoestar]

[@TheMentok]

I'll keep it going. I have some DS and 3DS Kirby titles to catch up on

[@SteelSquishy]

Heeeat ​@@TheMentok

[@sanderbakker2126]

Skipped 2 the end,because I was so curious what is considered "classic" Kirby. What's the difference with "modern" Kirby? IMO Kirby is the 1 character that's evolved the least since the 90s and that's why I ❤him. Now going to rewind your video

[@TheMentok]

You got me on this. It's a bit of a blanket statement. But I'd rather go with "Classic Kirby" for this title rather than "The Complete History of Kirby" because I'm missing quite a few games here.

[@sanderbakker2126]

@TheMentok Great video I look forward to you covering the rest. Why the hate for revenge of the gator? It was 1 of the earliest Gameboy games and a childhood favorite of mine that's responsible for my love of pinball. Hal laboratory are/were great at making pinball games,but revenge of the gator does show it's age😮but it deserves some love ❤️

[@reformedorthodoxmunmanquara]

33:05 It actually does, but not in the main game mode of the game it reappears in.

[@zenjustwantsfriends]

Yo mentok I love your videos man keep it up

[@Majo_Ellen]

LION KING (SNES) MENTION? Instant sub. ... I know your pain bro. Nightmare in Dreamland was such a catchy song: I was a little happy to find out it was based on a song called 'secret agent man' later on.

[@ImmortalThanos]

Revenge of the Gator is one hell of a great game on the original Game Boy. Give it a try! Once you play it, you'll immediately say "Yeah, that definitely looks like a HAL game."

[@markswan5374]

I think you are one of the best creators on KZbin. VERY very impressed with your work. You deserve way more views and subs. But hey, sync your video to your audio please.

[@DolphinCube]

22:50 I think I should mention that in Kirby's Dream Buffet. The Yellow Kirby color is called "Keeby Yellow" when selecting it through customization. Nice touch, Nintendo. Also it would have been funny to rename the "Tea Green" color to "Leaf Green". Would have been a REALLY funny Pokemon Easter Egg considering there's a color named "Fire Red"

[@Rayyisqo_pikmin]

First time see kirby talk 28:12

[@dreadpiratekiel]

Kirby is a brand of vacuum, I always thought that way why he was named that, then I heard about the lawyer. Never know about the harshness of the name, cool stuff.

[@fly-lucky]

I never really played any of the Kirby games but one game I did really enjoy was Kirby air ride that game was badass had plenty of things to keep you busy and lots of replayability. Lots of people hated on the GameCube when it came out but that was my console of choice that year. So many great titles. Mario Sunshine wind waker Metroid soul caliber 2 what's not to like.

[@buddyzilla4557]

57:14 -There is a pre-existing hypothesis that all the Nintendo multiverse is connected by Dreamland. Dreamland is literally that, the land of manifested dreams that is its own physical place but also a world in between worlds people can astral project into when sleeping. People have their own dream "islands" that manifest around them in this astral outter (or more accurately, inner) space. The Kirby's Dreamland, Mario Land and LoZ LW game all occur on the Gameboy, have crossover enemies and the later two are oddballs for their series. All three take place on/feature islands and the Zelda one is confirmed a dream. We now know the technical and marketing reasoning for some of this but the belief was that all three take place at the same time in separate but nearby dream "islands." The WhistleFish, and Mario are both dreaming the adventures Mario and Link are having while Kirby is dealing with his own situation at the beginning of the Dark Matter series, so that some of the enemies from each other's adventures make it over to the others. Even though it seems the Mario dream idea is debunked now, the concept Kirby exists in a Nintendo Dreamspace persists with these little cameos. Further, it is linked to the Smash Story where everything happening is in ANOTHER layer of reality beyond where a kid is growing up with toys or collectables representing their favorite Nintendo beings on imaginary adventures. The enemies in those games are abstract concepts of mental processes. The grand idea being that the Nintendo universe is an imagination land of multiple realms all internally linked by their own Dreamspace but consisting themselves of the "dreams" of our real world people. Kirby's home is literally a dream dimension within a dream dimension.

[@leap123_]

> but the belief was that all three take place at the same time in separate but nearby dream "islands." nearby dream WHAT

[@buddyzilla4557]

@leap123_ Islands. Link washes up on an island when Link's awakening begins and the game takes place on that island. SML2 and even 3 with Wario as the star takes place on an island. Mario even leaves the island only to go to space. Kirby's Dreamland 2 reveals the Hubworld Kirby's Dreamland and we see it is actually made up of seperate themed floating islands in space. The idea is that Kirby is in a literal Dreamspace and peoples dreams manifest into physical forms, spreading out as floating islands in the ocean of the astral plane. As they build, they can become full planets but start off as smaller "islands" suspended and separated from each other by the void. Also, not going to let you troll me asshole. Ive seen your channel and if you don't want it taken down for what it is, you might want to take a long hard look at the shit you are, come to terms with the fact daddy didn't give enough hugs but that's not the world's fault and deal with it in a healthier way.

[@HesGotaGun505]

Shouldn’t you be working on the next issue of Sonichu?

[@buddyzilla4557]

@HesGotaGun505 -Funny. By your name, shouldn't you be preparing to get caught by the police before becoming the next Columbine? An obvious troll with a name treating you have a gun. Daddy not give enough hugs or just got a really small penis, hm? Going to report you now and mention your name specifically so you can get a little check in by local authorities. Good luck with growing up and getting professional help before you die in a cell with an inmate's dick up your ass.

My favorite Zelda games are the Oracle games and Link's Awakening. The Oracle series showed you could still bring new concepts to a formulaic game.

I'd just really like to thank you for putting up from that it's a compilation video. Got burned a few times whe peoe haven't and 15 minutes in it starts sounding like something I've heard before, I look at the uploaded and notice 2 years ago I watched the first video in it and a week ago I watched the last and it's gonna get more familiar as I go or I'm tricked into thinking it's a grand overview after a series of individual reviews. I.have wasted some time on deceptive compilations a bit lately

i get its just a compilation but i do not think amazing mirror counts as "classic kirby" and if you choose to include it then why wouldnt you include squeak squad by extension too kirby 64 is the last classic kirby game and everything that released between it and super star ultra (the first modern kirby game) are best (for very much a lack of a better term) described as the anime or flagship era
