Wii Party U - GamePad Party 2: Tabletop Gauntlet & Animal Matchup

[@OriginalGameteer]

"Then tell me. Where is *cat* ?" There's something about the way Jon asked those questions that I really liked

[@dimentiorules]

The way that Jon says "where is (animal)" makes me think of a children's show host.

[@Anafyral666]

And it makes me like super happy and I love it

[@rayjams3165]

"Now, where is cat?" There was just something really nice about Jon asking that way, I don't really know why.

[@beekbeek8535]

Of in the distance... "Buy my book."

[@slimmyjimmy9521]

Everybody asks "Where is Chicken?" But no one asks "How is Chicken?"

I love how Tim mixes up the animals names to remember them like at 17:06 when he says “chicatl” for chicken cat and lion

[@benjaminpeterson455]

5:57 You'd think Jon would be used to his bad luck by now. XD

[@t.c.5621]

[@ThomCote88]

I had a physical version of essentially the Tabletop Gauntlet as a kid, loved it.

[@spectralid]

To this day, we may never know where the *insert name of animal here* is.

[@mynedracobirn9245]

NOTE: inn the mousetrap minigame, the flippers that Jon was complaining about, if you look, the red one that kept hitting him went off at the same time all of Emile's other track parts went off, I presume Emile was mashing his button thinking it wasn't doing anything for the last part, when it actually was moving that flipper.

[@mynedracobirn9245]

and if that is true, then once again Emile has screwed up Jon with button mashing

[@Rexaura888]

Brando Dracobirn Since the buttons that control the pegs also controls the flippers, I think you’re right though I also believe that Emile wasn’t thinking about how his inputs for the pegs was simultaneously messing with Jon when he was pushing his button.

[@puppywinkles]

Tim, not emile

[@1bearzfan]

Puppywinkles Emile was playing, they just didn’t switch the Mii’s

"Where is Lion?" I'm right here, guys...

[@beekbeek8535]

*BEEP* I SURRENDER!!!

[@acepilot87]

Tabletop Gauntlet is based on a real board game called Screwball Scramble (aka Crazy Golf). The Barshens channel play it in one of their earliest videos.

[@harperette]

[@Rukalin]

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. I love Barshens :D

I think I've got it somewhere but I haven't seen it in about 7 years

[@lukejohnston3117]

People are wondering, "Where is [animal]". The real question is, "Who is [animal]", and more importantly, "Why is [animal]".

Well, someone (or multiple someones!) is going to fix the Wii Party wiki now, that's for damn sure.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

[@Robo983]

The first game isn't based on mousetrap, but a game called "run yourself ragged" (AKA Screwball Scramble or Snafu) that had those obstacles controlled by mechanical buttons. The game also reminds me of DK's Crash Course for Nintendo Land.

No jon, it's Beep boo boo bop boo boo bop!

This looks a lot more like Screwball Scramble rather than mouse trap, especially with the wibbly bridge at the start

[@Bluedino152]

Oh dang, that actually looks like a kind of cool game. I feel like I've played that before, either in a game or with a physical board.

[@TiStardust]

Screwball Scramble, maybe?

[@Bluedino152]

Starlight Shifter looked it up to see what that was the name of. Yes it was that game.

[@oblivionslefthand]

I can't help but feel that they'd have done better at the minigames during Animal Matchup if there'd been more communication. They were very quiet most of the time, but when you're doing a game like the beach ball collecting one it helps to say where you want to go rather than start moving and hope your partner picks up on your intent.

[@merogin251]

European Jon may be the next best thing since Emile's Hiker Dance or Metropolitan Mutant of Ark ...Where is chicken?

'Cat' in Animal Matchup looks kind of like my cat, Scooby as in Scooby-Doo.

[@Pikachu2Ash]

Can't be a TRG video without RNG bullshit XD

[@Rexaura888]

Pikachu2Ash I mean it was mostly RNG in regards to when Emile hit the button to push the pegs out as the same button controlled the flipper that kept sending Jon over to the other side. The pendulum ball and he alternating flippers were timed. About the only RNG element on the game’s part was how the spinning wheel would send your ball depending on when you hit it.

[@Pikachu2Ash]

I know I just find it really funny. poor Jon lol XD

[@lemeres2478]

21:45 Yeah, that one was a 'fuck you , you C rank fool' from the devs.

[@rhykachugaming7308]

So they’re going to dedicate an entire episode just for puzzle blockade and judging from when they upload it should be coming tonight

[@CupertinoEffect]

Does Jon not realise that you control one of the flippers in that last segment? He was against his flipper after Emile launched him over to it with his own flipper, and then complaining that he couldn't do anything because he wasn't using his flipper to counteract what Emile did.
