Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky still remains the best Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game of the lot. It improves upon the already brilliant and emotionally-impactful Explorers of Time and Darkness.
One of the most exciting additions to this update was five special episodes that give you control of other characters in their own adventures.The fourth episode puts you at the helm of Team Charm: Lopunny, Gardevoir and Medicham during one of their treasure hunting missions before they become the famous Master Rank exploration team they're known as today.
If there's one lesson I learnt from this experience, it's that even those at the top have gone through terrible hardships to get to where they are now...

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is probably my favourite of the three DS Castlevania games, and perhaps the very game to teach me the beauty of challenge runs with its level restriction options and many character choices.
Playing video games under the hardest conditions is a fantastic way to appreciate their overall design and the amount of thought that must go into creating tough but fun and fair boss battles.
However, while this is very true of Portrait of Ruin for the most part, there's one section of the game they forgot about these rules and ended up bringing another Boss I Hate into existence...
Little fun fact: this boss was originally going to be one of the featured bosses of Boss Analysis # 37, but I ended up deciding to leave it for another day. That day has arrived with this episode!

Bad endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

These are all ideas that came into my head at some point, but I didn't think would substantial enough for a standalone video, so I thought it would be better to mash them together instead.
I wouldn't call this a series, more of a melting pot/companion piece to the rest of my channel. Topics from previous videos may be revisited and approached from a new angle, but which ones and how?

Many times, I hear people say that graphics don't matter and that only gameplay counts towards making a game great. I disagree with this.
There are some games out there with such graphical problems, it can seriously spoil the experience. Today, I'm taking a look at the games that will test the faith of even the most devout "gameplay whores". Wow, never thought I'd say that. Except for the other six previous times, of course.
Find out why you shouldn't trust the ground or the sky, how even the prettiest of movies can become the ugliest games or why shining a light into someone's eyes is a bad idea that some missed the memo for.

Bart vs The Space Mutants, despite not being a masterpiece by any defintion of the word, is a pretty memorable game simply on account of being one of the earliest Simpsons games. This was a game that ever just seemed to magically own back in the day. For some unknown reason, I decided to cover each of its bosses back-to-back for this episode of Boss Analysis. Ay caramba, Annoyed Grunt, disapproving groan, etc. etc.
I covered the NES version for this video because that's the one I'm most familiar. However, from what I've played of some of the other versions, it might actually be the most inferior edition; perhaps I could go over the changes to the bosses in a future episode...

I don't believe I've made it clear in the past on what such a Pokemon battling fanatic I am. I think it's incredible how they've managed to turn an RPG combat system into a competitive sport; (One with RNG, but still) for me, it's the best side of Pokemon, and no matter how easy they might make the main adventure these days, you can still count on online battling to satisfy my Pokemon battle itch, as I call it.
However, it wasn't always so easy to find opponents to give me the challenge I craved. There were in-game and even side games designed to expand upon the battling aspect of the game, but often times, the execution left me feeling very frustrated and/bored...

Whenever they're huge, tiny or anything above, below or inbetween, if there's one thing you expect a boss to have, it's a large lifebar, lots of hitpoints, vitality or whatever the game calls it.
However, there are a few bosses out there that aren't nearly as capable of taking a beating compared to their brethren. In this episode of Boss Analysis, the theme is bosses with unusally low amounts of health!
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean they're easy to kill; they may have any number of tricks up their sleeves to counter-balance their lack of HP...
There are two ways for a boss to qualify: one is to have less health than the player character(s), and the other is to have less health than average for a boss at the point of the game they're fought.

Weapons, weapons and more weapons... with violence at the core of almost every video game, you can't turn a corner without seeing one.
In this series, I cover my favourite weapons from various games and what makes me so fond of them. Keep in mind that my choices aren't necessarily the best weapons of their respective games in terms of efficiency, it might be because they're incredibly fun to use, simply hilarious to see in action or any other factors.
The only thing that could make fighting games better is if one allowed you to swing weapons around like a loon, which is precisely why I loved Soulblade back in my early Playstation 1 days...

No matter how awesome a weapon may be, once it's out of ammo, there's nothing it can do. During those grim situations, you may have no choice but to turn to your last resort weapon: These will never run out of ammo, break or ever leave your side. Sadly, though they could still have their uses, even for a player with enough ammo to sustain an army, they're generally underpowered in various ways: Perhaps they have little range or maybe they inflict minuscule damage, or anything else that may hold them back greatly. To succeed with them exclusively would be a massive achievement.
Well, today's featured weapon goes against all these conventions you've grown used to...

Opinions will vary on what makes a bad ending creepy, or anything related to fear in general. Obviously, some bad endings are going to affect me more than others as well.
So, I sat down and thought it through to decide on what I consider the ten creepiest, baddest endings to be featured in the series so far, and this is my countdown of my choices from 10 to 1. (Hey, episode 101 = 10-1!)
I'll also try to explain in further detail than before as to why each of them get under my skin so much. If you'd prefer to see these endings without me nattering on over them, then I suggest watching the original videos.
Also keep in my mind that this is by no means a definitive all-time scariest bad endings list, it's based purely on my own subjective opinion. I may even change my own mind on these choices later down the line, especially if I happen to discover new bad endings that are even scarier...

The Halloween season is upon us once again, the nights draw in faster, the weather gets colder (Well, USUALLY, grumble grumble...) and the world becomes spookier in general.
This is the perfect time to make a Boss Analysis episode based on scary bosses based on famous monsters: Vampires, mummies, ghosts, zombies, or if not that, then the video game bosses who scare me the most and why, along with strategies on how to kick them right in!
But... ugh... I can't be bothered... of all the Seven Deadly Sins, the one I struggle against the most has to be Sloth; If I were to give into my true nature, I could quite happily sit down and play video games all day, every day until goodness knows what would happen...
Dead Rising 3 has seven psychopath battles (the bosses of the series) based on each of the Seven Deadly Sins. Perhaps the most interesting of these to me is the psychopath that embodies Sloth...

But the truth is, even though I've made four Leave My Ears Alone! videos where I point out the video game sound effects and songs that were horrible or plain annoying to my ear drums, there are far more that I can't get enough of.
So for a change of pace, this is Leave My Ears Alone! The Reversal, where we're going over the sound effects from this medium I adore and why I do.

Famous for running around and moving fast, it's hard to imagine him standing still for a single moment.
But what if that were to change? What if he suddenly decided he weren't going to move an inch? The games would be completely impossible, right?
Well, not in Sonic Mania if you're playing Sonic & Tails mode and a certain orange fox by his side. By using a second controller, Tails can be moved by another player. If he flies above Sonic's head, he can pick him up and carry him for as long as he can stay in the air.
Many years ago, back in the "I made too many Sonic challenges" era, the very first challenge I did was the Sonic Cripple Challenge, where I attempted to beat various acts from these games without moving Sonic at all and carrying him everywhere as Tails. Today, I decided to revive this topic...
The rules are simple. Just reach the end as many acts as possible without touching any direction buttons on the first player's controller. Unfortunately, in Sonic Mania, Sonic cannot be picked up from the ground, so I've had to allow Sonic to jump in order for the challenge to work. This leaves almost all the work to Tails. Can any acts be beaten this way? Watch the video and find out...
This challenge was also attempted in Sonic The Hedgehog 3, see the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=ULxv2mCrLQI
It was also tried in Sonic & Knuckles, or rather the Sonic & Knuckles half of S3&K, see that video here: youtube.com/watch?v=FchQiHVUPf
It was even attempted in Sonic the Hedgehog 1, as seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=TYJ5th8DLxc
And finally, this is the link to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 video: youtube.com/watch?v=TYJ5th8DLxc
I've been playing Disney Dreamland Valley lately, and it's filled the void left behind by Animal Crossing since I got bored out of my mind with that game. Perhaps this is sacrilege to say, but I think I like it a lot better, there's just so much more to do.
But as the game is still (at the time of writing) in a beta stage, you can be sure to see some wacky and crazy glitches. I was just minding my own business, playing the game like normal, when something VERY odd started happening to Merlin...
For a change of pace, as with the twentieth and thirty-eighth episodes, rather than simply cover an extremely powerful character, we're taking a look at some of the most bone-crushingly, teeth-clenchingly, awe-inspiringly powerful attacks and weapons gaming has to offer...
Powerful can mean anything from making huge numbers pop up on screen to making the game a cinch. As such, the majority of the attacks and weapons featured today are practical as well as deadly, but be warned: if these ones are used poorly, they could lead to dire consequences...

With so many games out there, it's easy to play something then only vaguely remember the experience after that point: did you imagine it? Was it actually a dream? Or did it actually happen?
This is especially prone to happen with any games you rented once and never played again, such as what happened with today's featured level. Is it as bad as I remember it being all those years ago? That's what I aim to find out today...

Every so often, I find myself wishing more than anything I could transfer some of the incredibly useful items I've used in my gaming adventures into the real world and enhance my life significantly with the benefits they would bring.
Today, I thought I'd cover the five gaming items above all others that I wish I had in real life and the reasons why. In the name of fairness, I will also discuss any possible downsides they could bring back and why even non-existant objects need to be labeled with, "This is not a toy".
Are there any video game items you wish you owned for real? Perhaps you've always wanted Samus Aran's Space Jump and unlock the power to leap infinity, or maybe you're more partial to Link's ocarina and the magic it do through the power of music? Let me know in the comments.

For the eighteen episode of Worst Levels Ever, I featured my least favourite chapter by far, the Near Future chapter featuring the hero Akira.
Well, the newremake recently arrived, I decided to do something unthinkable: I played through the new version of the chapter first! This was done to find out as soon as I could on whether the remake has changed it for the better, or possiblity made it even worse.
How does it stack up? Well, that's where this video comes in...

As I've demonstrated in with my Game Genie Fun series, it's endless fun messing around with cheat devices, or anything else that can bend, twist and break video games in ways that just aren't possible normally.
However, I adhere to a strict set of guidelines when getting up to this tomfoolery. The most important rule of all is to never, EVER use this great power against other players and keep it firmly to myself.
If there's such restrictions placed on the game's online mode, you'll find yourself faced with awful crap, such as Sturdy Shedinja in Pokemon. But I would rather deal with that all day along instead of some of the horrors I saw in Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast...

There's nothing more satisfying than destroying an irritating boss after you've been struggling against it for so long, and it becomes even sweeter if their death animation is spectacular, funny, etc.
Be warned that this video contains major spoilers for many of the featured games, as many of the best boss deaths are experienced by final bosses, naturally.

Taz-Mania on Game Gear was a damn terrible game for one I declared as my favourite game of all time before even playing it as a kid. I couldn't even beat the first level at the time, which lead me to cover it in Worst Levels Ever # 8 back in 2014. Well, lately, I've become curious to see what else this sorry excuse for a game has on offer and decided to play the rest of it and see if it gets any worse...

I'm not one to celebrate every numbered milestone that my series reach, if I did, there would never be time for regular episodes, but this time, I felt nostlagic about my previous dreams and thought this was the perfect time to look back on the past. Don't worry, this isn't a clipshow special or anything like that, (Heaven forbid) the focus is still mostly on new dreams.
Video games are fun, and fun things are addictive, right? You can easily find yourself getting completely hooked on a game until you've finished it. Inevitably, you're going to find yourself thinking about it a lot. And when that happens, there's a massive chance you'll end up dreaming about your favourite games. I know I sure have, which is why in series, I share with you just a few of the bizarre rubbish involving gaming that my mind has conjured up. Be afraid, be very afraid.
I have so much fun explaining about my gaming dreams, and I hope my mind can continue to provide material for this series forever.

From the same creators of Dizzy, Cosmic Spacehead is a point and click adventure/platforming game released on various consoles, but I'll always remember it as an Amiga game from my early gaming days. (Even though I use the Sgea Genesis version in this video, which is very similar)
Just like his round "brother from sorta another mother", Cosmic was another character that made me question why I wanted to control them instead of some incredible badass: aren't video games all meant to be power fantasies, after all?
Now, I'm what you'd call a Video Game Music nut, I probably spent more time listening to VG Music than anything else on YouTube.
But other the years, I've encountered many sound effects and songs that nearly made me lose my hearing. Grab your earplugs, and keep your pointer over that volume control, because once again, I'm covering even more of the most obnoxious and downright irritating assaults on the ears that I've encountered.
Anything from horrible music to annoyingly repetitive sound effects may be included. No non-licensed games will be featured. Warning: some of my choices may be opinion-based.

This means no firepower upgrades, no additional bombs, no speed-ups, etc. Thankfully, now we're back in post-Bomberman 2 days again, the standard firepower is 2 rather than a measly 1. Praise to the bomb god for these small mercies!
Surprisingly, Bagura doesn't make a return, (yet) instead this game focuses on Terrorin and Fiendish Bombers, who Terrorin frees from their prison and teams up with to rule the universe. It's up to white Bomber (and black Bomber, if you're playing two-player adventure) to stop these scumbags and save the universe.

Believe it or not, I have owned it for years, long before the meme came along in 2001. I've seen a number of people bash the game unfairly and I don't really understand why - I've always thought it was a perfectly good shoot 'em up, in fact, I played it quite a lot and even beat it a few times.
One thing that always stood out to me was that defeating the bosses was entirely optional: once they've been around long enough and still haven't been killed, they will leave of their own accord and you can continue without feeling the guilt of their death weighing on your conscience. I believe this is a feature for arcade shooters to prevent players from stalling, but why they still have it in a Genesis game, I can't work out.
Well, for old time's sake, I decided to see if it were possible to beat the entire game without killing any enemy at all, or any killable object whatsoever, really. I also decided to forgo any power-ups, which are dropped by weird capsule beings that could count as enemies anyway.

Over the years, there have been some laughably weak main characters starring in video games, characters who you're almost embarrassed to be controlling. In this series, I'll show footage of these characters' greatest feats of "power". Wario and Kirby need not apply.
This episode's star is the prince of Persia from... the Prince of Persia.
The Prince of Persia games have been around since 1989. In the first game of the series, you control a man destined to become the prince of Persia as he attempts to escape a dungeon and defeat the evil vizier before he can marry the princess and rule over Persia. Future princes from future games in this series are acrobatical masterminds, capable of incredible feats that would leave anyone in awe... this first guy, not so much...

Do you know any inspiringly weak video game characters? Feel free to mention them in the comments and there may be a video about them in the future!
UPDATE: This was an April Fool's Day video for 2022. It was created to mimic the style (if you can call it that) of the first Weakest Characters In Gaming Ever videos, created in the first month of 2009.
These first videos are possibly the most important milestone in the history of my channel. Though I had made text-commentry videos before then, (Double Dragon playthroughs, How To Get Secret Bonus Points in Dynamite Headdy and Tails Abuse In Court say hi) these were essentially the first of what is now my most common format.
I had to put myself back into my mind and equipment of back then, using only stuff available to me at the time; I tell you, when you limit yourself into using Windows Movie Maker's features, it makes you appreciate Sony Vegas a lot more again.
Whenever I rewatch these old videos again, a part of me dies at how crude they look and don't know how I or anyone else put up with it; Just look at that horrible blue line on the side of the screen in much of the footage. But at the same time, I think they still have their own charm, though that might be my bias towards myself talking there.
As you may have noticed from the original intro, the prince from Prince of Persia was intended to be one of the earliest characters featured in the series. This was mainly down to how clunky and strange his movement is in the Genesis version of the game, which always baffled and amused me when I played the game as a kid. In the end, I decided this wasn't really enough to warrant an episode, but his inculsion in the intro has always bothered me nonetheless. So thank you, April Fool's Day, for finally allowing me to right this wrong for good.

Before Pokemon even existed, Taloon Torneko of Dragon Quest IV fame was already exploring Mystery Dungeons to search of treasure! After the events of the fourth game, Torneko and his wife & son leave Endor to fulfill Torneko's dream of becoming the greatest arms merchant in the world, and they locate the exclusive mystery dungeon in order to complete this goal.
Unlike with the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, which only lower your level to 1 for some of the fiendishly difficult post-game dungeons, Torneko's game resets your level to 1 every time you re-enter any of the dungeons. This along with a smaller but more unique cast of monsters allows the enemies to stick out in my mind more vividly than the countless hordes of Pokemon foes in those games.
As such, I have a lot more to say about each and every one of the 32 monsters found in this SNES classic: some are near harmless, but others will make you want to chuck your SNES out of the window!
That's where this video comes in. I decided to rank every monster in the game depending on how I feel about them, their abilities and the effect it'll have on the portly merchant's quest.
Please note that this is not an objective list, it's based purely on my own opinions. Also understand that my reasonings are decided on each enemy in general: while there might be a ring or item that renders an enemy's most frustrating aspects obsolete, it's less likely to have a bearing on my standings if said item only has a small RNG chance of appearing.

Bad endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

For nearly as long as I've been playing games, I've also wanted to make my own! So for this episode of Boss Analysis, I've decided to discuss some of the ideas I've had for boss battles and what I'll probably put in my own dream game.
Keep in mind that I haven't played every single game ever made, so there's a chance the ideas in this video have already been put into something I was completely unaware of.
Artwork by Dragonfetus1, who also came up with the plot idea for the first idea.

According to Wikipedia, Jumping or leaping is "a form of locomotion or movement in which an organism or non-living (e.g., robotic) mechanical system propels itself through the air along a ballistic trajectory. Jumping can be distinguished from running, galloping and other gaits where the entire body is temporarily airborne, by the relatively long duration of the aerial phase and high angle of initial launch." Er, yeah, okay...
Despite its prominence in ficitional video games, you don't exactly see many people leaping around constantly, unless you live at the circus or something.
Perhaps this is why I've turned into a jumpaholic whenever the option is available to me - I struggle to keep my fingers off the button for more than a few seconds.
But as long as it's not hurting anyone and I'm having fun, it shouldn't matter how often I leap around, right?... Right?
Got a special treat for you today. The most recent episode was all about Biomeka, the much-hated final boss from Wonderboy In Monster World.
A number of people pointed out that the unfair design of the battle bore a resemblance to obnoxious Mario Maker levels. Well, I asked a friend to recreate the battle with Mario Maker 2, and this was the result...
Want to try the level yourself? Here are the codes:
Original: 2SQ-4X4-4SF (The version used in this video)
Deluxe: JYC-7VJ-TXF
