The Forgotten Legacy Of The GWIMBLY Franchise

[@Venetas]

I will never forget the weeks prior to the launch of GWIMBLY 1. The whole company was on edge, devs crunching day and night. Tony got married in his cubicle so he could continue fixing the stage 3 bugs during the festivities. He was one hell of a coder.

[@TheBrokenRobotShow]

IGBG Really Should Have Given Him That Raise ! I Think He Works At Ubisoft Now.

[@joeymorse365]

am I the only one just finding out about this??

[@richardmemesgames]

@@joeymorse365wow you think its real, I MEAN gwimbly was not seen very often in recent years 😔

[@AverageGIisten]

Remember when you beat a level and he did that little Ooo oo oo dance? That was my favorite part.

[@TheBrokenRobotShow]

Definitely An Iconic GWIMBLY Moment !

[@seth3491]

poor guy cant do the dance without collapsing now

[@deduderi5795]

what my mind thinks is playing 10 hours deep into a youtube video essay about something i have never heard about

[@ArcadeRewind-v1d]

Gwimbly 3 was my personal favorite, the Gwimbly gun really stepped up the gameplay.

[@jakelevinson7802]

Yeah, but the emulators nowadays are kind of shit for it. It’s just not made for modern systems and doesn’t always adapt well. Which sucks because it’s such a good game.

[@bradp366]

I swear I found a secret entrance to level 4 in the original as a young lad. Unfortunately my dog urinated on my Playsation 1 so I lost my progress. I havent found any evidence of it since.

[@TheBrokenRobotShow]

There’s So Little Footage Of GWIMBLY Online New Secrets Are Found All The Time !

[@caldog619]

This is a suprising well researched video, i hope this blows up! I think one you forgot to mention was that the Gwimbly gun was actually an idea requested by fans. They kept sending fanart to IGBG of Mr.Millipede with guns, at a time where gaming companies were quite out of touch with their fanbases. I would love to see you cover Catastrophe Crow, or maybe a deeper dive into why the Medal of Honor franchise didnt go beyond Xbox360

[@wamp8678]

I used to play these all the time

[@UmbreonAnimate]

Remember when the unreleased "Gwimbly CDi" was leaked to the internet during the late 2000's? The cutscenes of that game were so cheesy, people made lots of YTPs of it, and I loved these videos! They were what introduced to the Gwimbly franchise.

[@SunFlowerFromPvZ1]

Don't forget that one character in the item shop that had literally two lines of dialogue, yet somehow people have made him recite the whole Bible! Gwimbly fans are something else, man..

[@lthudgins]

Damn, i have played since i was a tadpole

[@AshySlashy2427]

Not the “toomars”. I can’t believe they referenced tomars heinous warcrimes in such a kid friendly game.

[@Talonflamez]

Does anyone remember gwimbly reloaded? The fps game that tried to compete with tf2?

[@PigwonHimself]

Mr Boss used to be OP in Gwimblys Smash He got nerfed which was bad for us Mr Boss mains

[@QutelDawn]

I remember not getting past that ice wall parkour section in the start of Gwimbly 2 as a kid. Had to ask my dad to complete it for me lol.

[@brem-]

I'm still waiting for the recreamed trillogy

[@TheBrokenRobotShow]

I Agree, It Was So Sad When They Put It On Hold It 2014 !

[@BovineDesigns]

These are the only video essays about Smiling Friends I care about.

[@EchidnaSharp]

this is not a video about smiling friends. it's about the game series "Gwimbly". your probably thinking of the recent cross promotion between the two brands, where Gwimbly starred in a SF episode, and Mr. Boss was playable in Gwimbly Smash Bros

[@TheGamingSiri]

I still can't get over the later GWIMBLY games dropping the Del Monte branding on the cans of creamed corn. I know it was just product placement, but coincidence or not the series was never the same after they lost it.

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

The memories me and my friends had of hanging out at each other‘s houses on a weekend and playing hours upon hours of Gwimbly games. It’s sad that you had one final day of youth and you didn’t realize it had long since past. Thank you and to quote this video game icon. “oo oo oo”

[@LunarChris24]

I'm still waiting for that Gwimbly RPG game. I haven't heard anything about it since that teaser trailer from 2018!

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

Grumble 3: Gwimbly's Revenge was my favorite in the series. My brother and I used to play the hell out of that game

[@17jacoyne]

People are saying gwimbly 3 is the best gwimbly game but honestly…I think the gwimbly escapade duology is where the franchise hit peak! The music and gameplay go harder than any gwimbly game before

[@juankdmf]

I loved the spinoff game of Mr Millipede. The only down side was that when you die, the game over screen stays forever.

[@dubuyajay9964]

Sounds like you got a cursed Creepypasta Disc. 🤯😵‍💫🤒😱

[@the-birbo]

you should add some imperfections to the posters in the background so they look more like posters. Like rips and a curled up corner or something. It'd look cooler and it'd be a little less confusing since they kind of look like they're being presented in the same way as the assets you're talking about

[@Schmoseph]

I still think to this day that the franchise truly peaked at Paper Gwimbly: the Thousandth Creamed Corn.

[@TurtleShroom3]

No, that was literally just "Paper Mario II" with a "Gwimbly" theme. I remember playing it in a Wal-Mart display and was just not a fan, even though I was a little kid,

[@e6026]

STOP OMG I MISSED THIS GAME 😭 I used to play with my cousin a lot, it was fun. Thanks for the video explaining it, I couldn’t remember much!

[@Dorchester.Historical.Society]

I liked Gwimbly cart, I know it wasn’t very popular but the handling was better than Mario kart.

[@17jacoyne]

I thought the game was called gwimbly racing?

[@wheezethejuice7387]

the Zach fan base gaslighting the smiling friends fan base makes me think of Tomar.

[@METALMAN4Wii]

I asked GameStop if they have it but they yell at me to get out?

[@samflood5631]

So is there going to be a PS5 port launch of all of the Gwimbly games?

[@craz2580]

Does anyone remember the old Gwibly ARG? The devs were truly going crazy for the second game marketing

[@donnae1899]

My First Introduction To Gwimbly Was The Crossover With Batman The Animated Series When The Duo Fight A Copy Named Vilaxey Who Was Working With The Chinese Triad Over Illegal Spices Just To Promote Gwimbly’s Upcoming Show

[@SegaChann3l]

DUDE! Gwimbly Smash Bros. (Gwimbly The Fighters in Japan and Europe) might lead to Gwimbly Forever finally coming out!

[@Ziggy4032]

Apparently Gwimbly VR was gonna come out In 2025. Shame it got cancelled..

[@neonmanatee1952]

You got the last game wrong it’s called “A Bunch of Dudes Fighting All at the Same Time”

[@von_lichtencrack6501]

This is excellent, where did you find all the Gwimbly box art?

[@Biscuit_432]

i’ll never forget my mom let my skip school when this game came out, i beat it in one day 😭

[@astrogummi]

Thank you for the nostalgia!!

[@alchemy5750]

At this point Gwimbly is basically "Crash Bandicoot if Activision never got the rights"

[@TurtleShroom3]

As a child, my father's parents owned a Playstation I. and I played it when I went up there, throughout the early 2000's AD We had a few titles, but the ones I remember the most were "Crash Bandicoot", "Gwimbly I", and "Gwimbly III". We had the sequels of the same but they don't really bring back memories like those two. I actually beat "Gwimbly I" and "Gwimbly III" but was never able to defeat "Crash Bandicoot I" or "Gwimbley II". The last one I played was "Gwimbly III" and, honestly, I thought the addition of the gun was a cool thing. "Crash Bandicoot", "Banjo-Kazooie", and the like didn't have a gun, and the incongruency between a platforming game and shooting like a third-person shooter was something never successfully imitated outside of the "Gwimbly" franchise. Sure, other games tried it, but it was just a gimmick or a single level. (I mean, the ice-skating level in "Pacman World II" was awesome, but it didn't need the gun!)

[@CinnaSwirls]

We don't talk about the CDi game.

[@17jacoyne]

Who remembers the gwimbly and lance slasherblade crossover game?

[@Idfkwhyy]

Gwimbly totally revolutionized the 3d platformer genre, i still remember people talking about the graphics, responsive gameplay and incredible level design of the og trilogy, it really felt like a next gen experience. Tbh i wish IGBG would remake or just port gwimbly to modern platforms, everyone should play this masterpiece at least once in their lives. Too bad they just want to focus on live service games...

[@dnmstarsi]

I always found the Japanese versions of Gwimbly fascinating. Gameplay wise, it's too easy and Japanese Gwimbly sounds too adorable though I'm not a fan of the Japanese version's replacement tracks.

[@austinreed7343]

The European versions can be even weirder; the German Gwimbly still sounds pretty cute but there’s a ton of racist imagery and characterizations added to those versions, but hot diggety dog are the European releases smooth to play.

[@SONIC1991-l1u]

The Gwimbly Gun is the Most iconic weapon in video game history

[@TheBrokenRobotShow]

Agreed

[@jdn5593]

You know what, gwimbly was overrated, I'm sorry, I tried to get in it but couldn't find that charm, how ever it's snowboarding spin off was better then the platformer games.

[@TheBrokenRobotShow]

I Thought Gwimbly Alpine Snowboarding Was A Great Game But It Wasn’t Made By IGBG Games. Still A Great Title !

[@Floatanims]

I remember playing gwimbly 2 back in the day level 3 was so hard man but when I beat him it felt good

No mention of The People vs Gwimbly? The Ace Attorney crossover they did with Capcom? I know it didn't do gonzo numbers, but it has a cult-like following in Brazil to this day.

[@BaldianOfIbelin]

Oh man, even though he is considered one of the weakest in the saga Gwimbly RPG the secret of creamed corn will always have a space in my heart It is not a good Gwimbly game but it is one of the best RPGs there is and precursor to the system of morality

[@mar10ssj1]

Gwimbly Smash Bros is a cool game but the O.J. Simpson character is WAY TOO OP. Once he starts charging you and takes out his signature knife-slashing technique, it's over. They need to nerf him down a notch. Maybe give him PTSD or something, idk.

[@richieosborn2639]

Gwimbly 3 was the very best of Gwimbly! It had inspired a Machinima series that doesn’t need stupid memes to stay relevant and popular! Gwimbly 3 is a ten outta ten!

[@SpooderQuantun]

i wonder when gwimbly 4 will release

[@PudgySasquatch]

man i wont even lie the first game i played was creamy capers. i was 6 when it came out and it was crazy difficult. god i fucking hate that game

[@SunFlowerFromPvZ1]

Alr guys, ik this is an unpopular opinion, and i know gwimbly fans can get quite feral when a game they like is criticized, but i just have to say that paper gwimbly 2: creamed carnage was arguably the weakest game in the entire gwimbly franchise. Yeah the mister millipede motorbike was a fun gimmick, and the creamed cornator was an excellent idea, but the story itself just felt a bit convoluted.. plus i absolutely despised the level where you had to find the golden corn kernel amongst the stacks of creamed corn cans. It just felt way too tedious and difficult for a game that was largely aimed at tadpoles... 🙁

[@TurtleShroom3]

I mean, it was better than "Paper Gwimbly II: the Thousandth Cream Corn". That one wasn't even created by the same studio.
