[@gabcard2767]

The sims referece is actually a bit deeper than that. The guard was going to unlock the door, but the hat was on the way. In The Sims, sims can't perform actions if there is something in the way, even if it's something as insigniricant as a hat or a small plant. The qoute he says afterwords is very similar to the one sims use in this exact scenario.

[@starlockesquad6866]

And then after that the sims usually feel like doing what they desire, which in this case is shoot henry

Ah, good catch! I didn't even think about the fact that his way was blocked. The sudden frustration makes much more sense with that in mind

It's the other way around, actually! The song for the BBO ending was changed in the collection to be a more high-quality version of Reginald's ringtone. I don't blame you for being mistaken, though; the song just fits in so well!

While Henry fights RHM in The Revenged route, the first choice of options has him pointing to RHM, this may be a reference to their first battle, but with RHM pointing to Henry instead of Vice Versa

[@Pikaman20008]

Another thing I’m surprised you didn’t mention is that Right Hand Man refers to his Spirit in his original vocal dialogue as “Time In A Bottle” rather than Bottled Time like in the subtitles . Time In A Bottle is the name of an actual song, much like how many Stands in Jojo are named after music references. Also Reference’s original name “Tribute” might also be a reference to the Tenacious D song of the same name, but that I’m less sure of

[@RasmusVJS]

Nah, this is just a tribute. You gotta believe me.

[@pink_moose991]

A ‘tribute’ to the fact that all stands in jojo have localized names in the subtitles to avoid copyright

[@8bitwiseman]

Huh, I was sure the original name was "Cameo" like the band, guess I just heard it wrong.

[@rexythet.rexfromjpreadabou186]

Semi-unrelated fun fact: Time In A Bottle was featured on the muppet show once.

[@2birds832]

Kronika's Hourglass **cough cough**

[@HCN-002OldChannel]

13:10 I think that when the bird gets shot down, the effect that pops up is a reference to Angry Birds whenever a bird disappears/dies

[@screamingforever]

Blade Forme and the turning of a prosthetic arm into a sword makes me think of Fullmetal Alchemist, but I’m not sure if that was intentional. Anyways, I loved this series!

[@craigjohnson2918]

I think them calling them spirits might be a reference on how jotaro called his stand at the start an “evil spirit”

[@starbird6]

Seeing the multiverse ending for the first time made my heart melt. My brothers and I LOVED these games as kids (we had a mission to take screenshots of every possible fail, just because we thought they were that funny) and have loved them all these years. When I first learned of this final installment I immediately texted them to see if they’d heard about it too, and it was like we were kids again. I cannot even begin to verbalize how enormous of a labor of love this final game was on Puff’s part, and to him I will be ever grateful for so many fun memories and a collection of awesome games, but I’d like to thank you, too, because to say that your Finding the References videos were not also labors of love would be a complete lie. Thank you, Graeme, for the incredible work you’ve put into doing this series justice, for Puff, for yourself, and for all of us. I can’t imagine taking on a project like this, but your dedication to the series is evident through each video you’ve made about it. I hope that when people even years from now are playing the Henry Stickmin Collection (because I don’t expect this kind of game to go forgotten) and they come to KZbin looking for more content that they find your videos and enjoy them as much as we all have. Keep up the great work!! Looking forward to what you do next. :)

[@2leftthumbs]

[@M644theawesome]

The Simlish he speaks is a reference to when an item is in the way to do an action, like how the hat was in his way, they stop doing what you ask and do something else. The G-Inverter looks so familiar but i dont know where I've seen it before

[@cow_arts7015]

[@annparungao3380]

[@raikonzero]

Its also in zelda, nintendo used that tune a lot. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHvChKKdfdV8baM

[@sev1120]

[@fabiopauli420]

17:30 the Gravity Inverter also mimics the colors of the shifting gravity galaxy for up and down from Supermario Galaxy 1 and 2

[@weszola]

The song henry plays with the flute sounds a lot like the song played in almost every zelda game when you play that flute and in super mario bros 3

[@Howureadis]

Yeah I always hear the whistle from Mario Bros. 3 during that option

[@Dylan-lh3xx]

If you are looking for references you missed, in FtC during Convict Allies route, you didn’t know what Henry’s weird rapid back-and-forth movement was during THE KNEE option. This is a technique in Smash Bros., wavedashing, mainly used to either mix up your opponent or taunt them. Also, the Baseball Bat option in Revenged is probably a reference to Ness in Smash Bros., who’s forward smash, a swing of a baseball bat, can reflect projectiles coming at him.

[@2leftthumbs]

45:26 I have no idea what Sumoni is? Like, it's just SO dramatically wrong from Suomi... Usually I "Duplicate" other text files, then edit them (it's easier than making formatted text from scratch each time). And I have to guess that I poorly edited some other text file in that moment? Because I have NO idea how I got it THAT wrong otherwise.

[@thedillpickleman015]

8:33 while I do see the reference, I feel like it could be more towards My Hero Academia. Mostly the scene from the first season where Izuku Midoriya (Deku) uses his quirk for the first time towards the giant robot for his training. Especially during the end of the scene where Deku almost fell to his death. But at the same time it’s hard to know which is the more direct reference so in the end I just say it’s a mixture of both.

[@Mrkarton]

I was wondering too but then i discovered that puffballsunited confirmed that its my hero academia reference kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIicmGN5ibaknqs Its at 26:45

"The Story Ends." and so does Henry

[@C1ementin3]

[@UnsungUnderground]

Reference/Tribute is also probably a reference to the Tenacious D song Tribute since Stands are named after songs

[@benjrobe]

PLEASE READ I FOUND REFERENCE when you hover your mouse above dance-off it plays a part of the game innersoth made dig2china’s main theme. Oh and also on the hot knife option charles says somthing about a button on his space-suit just like the how there was a button on his earpiece with the gravity gun in infiltrating the airship.

[@totallynotarobot8607]

[@Puptoon2022]

The placement of the black crewmate in the Revenged ending is cool because black usually symbolizes death in literature

[@KingGift17]

At 37:40 the hourglass and time stopping is a reference to Dios power in jojo part-3 where u can stop time for 8seconds.

[@RedstoneBuilder5938]

The "Heart" icon in the RPD+PD route is actually a rough outline of the Majora's Mask from the Zelda series. Also, since i am a dirty weeb, i have to note that the "Sands Of Time" Spirit possesed by The Right Hand Man is a reference to the spirit of the main antagonist from the third part of JoJo. On the other hand, Henry's spirit, Reference/Tribute, is a dual reference to both the spirit of the primary sidekick of JoJo part 4 and the main character's spirit from JoJo part 6.

8:48 While they have similar concepts of a having powerful punches. Puff later confirmed it's a My Hero Academia reference with Deku's given quirk, “One for All”. Supported by the fail text, “The Toppats will always remember you as a hero.” Also, “Pimbus” reminds me of “Pinterest”. One more thing. Instagram *is* changed to Insgram. It's very subtle.

[@egg1899]

38:27 You missed the baseball bat fail, most likely a reference to baseball in general but it could be a reference to Ness's baseball bat in smash, which also reflects projectiles.

[@fernando47180]

Yep, pretty sure it's a Smash reference. I was quite surprised when he didn't mention it

[@renzutheroyal]

yeah. That makes the most sense.

[@supersp9450]

I'm pretty sure the bat is SO similar to the bat in TF2.

[@schweppley1614]

It’s a combo reference, Ness’ bat famously reflects projectiles in smash, but it’s styled more after Scout’s bat in TF2. And of course the fail text “home run” is just a reference to baseball, as hitting a homerun means to hit the ball out of the playable field, scoring all runners on base.

[@Synthc4t]

Big Boy also seems to be a *minor* reference to the Bradley troop carrier, as it's commonly known for having an excessive amount of features and weapons on it, despite just being an armored personnel carrier.

[@fod-der]

Dang can't believe I'll have no more stickmin refrences to watch after the missed refrences

[@philippelizotte3760]

32:37 This is also a remix of "Gangsta 4 Lyfe", which I believe they used for the Badass Bust-Out ending in the HSC version of Escaping the Prison. 37:28 This could also specifically parody how the main villains of many parts of Jojo tend to have stand abilities that involve time manipulation, and more specifically resembles Dio's The World, which can stop time. 37:43 This also plays a melody that sounds a lot like the opening bars of "Roundabout", which was used at the end of episodes of parts 1 and 2 of the anime adaptation. While future parts would use different ending themes, this one in particular was memed to hell and back, recreated over countless videos over something suspenseful happening. Ironically, the music doesn't actually sync up to the arrow and greyscale in the anime the way it does in the memes, or this scene, or at least not often.

[@balrogdahomie]

31:04 I think that “Chaos Contained” might be a reference to Shadow he Hedgehog’s “Chaos Control” ability, which similarly pauses time

[@Nintadso]

12:34 I think it's a mix-up. The bird is indeed a reference to A Link to the Past, but the flute itself and the melody come from the first Legend of Zelda game. Thing is, in the original game, it was a tornado. The bird only came in ALTTP

[@aristoshii]

correction: the flute is meant to be a reference to mario 3's warp whistle with the design of the flute and the melody played being taken from that game.

[@LeedleFace1212]

[@saxor96]

[@pepijn23]

No, it’s a reference to the poor English in the NES game Pro Wrestling when you win a match.

[@arnoldinigov.pascual617]

Actually the 'Super Smash' might not just be a reference to One Punch Man it could also be a reference to My Hero Academia the way Henry's arm bends after punching is like how Midoriya used One for All in the entrance exam plus the fact that he falls is the same way Midoriya fell after using One for All

[@arnoldinigov.pascual617]

And the name Smash is also the name of midoriya's punches

[@Kaisona2017]

I think that Henry death, where he gets shot and the background turns red, is meant to be a reference to the insta-kill ability from Persona 5.

For the "Mind Crystal" Option you said he got annoyed and pulls out the gun. If you ment that he got annoyed my the option then you are incorrect. He cant step over the Orange ht right infront of him. This is in every sims game (except sims 2 for some odd reason) where Characters cant step over even the tiniest of objects on the ground. 3. I mentioned in previons Videos that there is a Bio with the information of "Hit the brick pal´ youre done" but i think you know what this one is becuse i already said it twice.

24:00 Actually it’s kind of the other way around, the lagswitch basically stops the flow of internet to your console or pc which in some online games can heavily desynchronise your character and allow for invincibility and the like, as well as perceivable lagging of your character, thus the name.

He is seen holding his iconic bottle of scrumpy, saying his also iconic line “Cheers, mate!” which he does during his stock melee taunt. Heck, even his bio has references. “He lost his eye in an explosives incident. He use to be a mercenary but gave up that life when the updates stopped coming.” -He actually lost his eye from the Bombinomicon, an ancient tomb in the library of the (Not-So) Great Merasmus. -Demo was a mercenary in TF2 under Redmond and Blutarch Mann, who were fighting over some land their dead father gave to them. -“When the updates stopped coming.” is a slight jab by Puff at TF2, which hasn’t had an update in 1237 days since this comment (About 3 years and 4 months)

Henry's flute playing is a mix between Link to the Past and the Mario 3 Warp Whistle. The way he plays sounds like an extremely poor rendition of the warp theme from that game. The bird though, is from LoZ.

He says Insgram. Patreon is the one that doesn't change That Bat in the RHM battle looks suspiciously similar to Scouts Stock Bat Maybe its just me, but I find it fitting "Madd Ladd" is the edgy counterstrike kid who drinks monster Timothy Turners bio says he used to have imaginary friends, you probably didn't actually "miss" that one with it being on the screen for so long, but in the unlikely scenario someones never heard of FOP, it is a callout to Cosmo and Wanda People still make plenty of insertnamehere2012 jokes, with the Gonzales brothers specifically, Soundsmith is probably as much as you'll get Teemo Souni's bio kind of seems riffing on stereotypes of the finnish and swedish, commonly seen in Pyrocynicals videos ....You just gonna let Demoman slip past you there? anyways nice vid as per usual

This means that Henry couldn't of gotten the cupcake at the tavern which, unless Charles decided to pick up some snacks in SBO (Which, honestly, he would) and chose that exact tavern *and* that exact cupcake, which all together is kinda unlikely. So, we can assume that Henry probably got this before he got kidnapped, and given the shelf life of an iced cupcake is only a few days, and said cupcake was still fresh enough for Henry to eat it and for it to be described as good enough to be "Worth" in SBO, he most likely got it right before said kidnapping. Given this, may I propose that Henry was at a bakery and/or a cafe before the events of Fleeing the Complex in pretty much every timeline, ordered (maybe with a four-finger discount depending on the route) that specific cupcake, and then got captured by the Wall before he could eat it, and proceeded to forget about it due to the insanity that followed.

Another detail in POTG, you can actually see the damage ticks in the center of the screen as henry tries to absorb RHMs ultimate

So, I believe there's a Easter egg back in Stealing the Dimond. If you look closely at the keys in the beginning, my fellow Hollow Knight fans might see it. The pattern almost looks EXACTLY like the elegant key from Hollow Knight

The “just like the old times” fail text is probably saying that Henry’s plans/fails are poorly thought out And also maybe Henry is multiverse hopper due to the Charles fail

[@leguichettravel1599]

That saying is also found on some Call of Duty games.

30:56 this also reminds me of the random phrase in my head "chaos control!", from sonic using the chaos jems to warp time and reality. (I had to look the other part up, I only remembered the phrase)

During the ‘Bomb has been planted’ segment, the EMP is made up of what looks like several giant Duracell-branded D batteries.

I always thought the ttyd “style” reference was ttyd, but I wasn’t sure so I just thought it was some JRPG reference.

[@ewanb1086]

I think the whoa that's so op that better be ached in the next update! is a tf2 reference with so many overpowered weapons and no patches to fix them

21:42 Special BROvert Ops ins't an PD route, it's GSPI + IRO 48:03 Fail?

[@toonterraminegamer1234]

It’s amazing how many references this game has. I can’t believe they fit them all in, even if some are so subtle or unnoticeable. It’s one of the things that make this game so great. Props to you for finding so many! I’m sure there may be a few that you missed, but what do I know about that.

[@BanermanArthropide]

6:29 I think this could also be a callback to the failure with the "play of the game" replay. It's like RHM is in Overwatch and has a really op abilitu

The icon for style on em is a dab

[@THEETHEREALTOBLERONE]

So the flute is a double Nintendo reference one being zelda as you mentioned but the other is that it uses the warp whistle melody from Mario 3

For those wondering about some of the more specific references in the Jojo fail cutscene, I’ll give a few explanations. *Reference:* Reference himself isn’t really based on a specific stand himself. His general design though takes elements from multiple stands in the series such as Golden Experience, the Stand of Giorno Giovanna, Cheap trick which is the stand if Masazo Kinoto, Stone Free which is the Stand of Jolyne Kujo, and Underworld which is the stand of Donatello Versus. A few of his abilities are also references too. Reference’s primary ability of punching is a common attack used in Jojo along. His ability to swap places with Henry is not specifically found in Jojo, while his ability to punch Right hand man into an alternate dimension is a reference to the stand “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” or D4C for short. D4C is a reference in itself to the Album and song of the same name by the band AC/DC. D4C in the manga has the ability to transport himself and beings between alternate dimensions by putting them in between two objects. D4C is also the stand of Funny Valentine, a reference to the song “My Funny Valentine.” *Failure Rush:* This rush of punches where Reference screams “Failure” repeatedly is a reference to various attacks in Jojo where a character will scream a short word while punching fast. This can be a reference to the 2nd most common word screamed while punching, being “MUDA MUDA MUDA”, which can translate to “Useless” or “Futile” in English. *Time in a Bottle:* Like most stands in Jojo, Time in a bottle’s name is a reference to the Jim Croce song of the same name. The design of the stand itself while looking like an hourglass, has a similar feeling to a bound stand or an item stand within Jojo, which are stands that can be bound to objects like cars or boats. Finally, the first ability shown by Time in a Bottle is similar to the Time Skip ability of “King Crimson”, the stand of Diavolo. King Crimson itself is a reference to the Prog Rock back King Crimson, and Diavolo means “Devil” in Italian. He later use of the stand is a reference to the stand “The World”, the stand of DIO, and his ability to stop time. The Stand of The World is a reference to the Tarot Card of the same name, and DIO translates to “God” in Italian. I hope that clears some things up for any and all non-Jojo fans.
