We Found EVERY Game Where You Can Play as Santa Claus
It's soon to be Christmas Day, the birth of Santa Claus! To celebrate the season and spread holiday cheer, we figured we'd take a deep look into Santa's lesser known adventures. We're not talking about your Tim Allen's and your Fred Claus and your miracles on blah blah blah street.
No, we're going deep into the world of Videogames to take a look at all the virtual fun that ol' Father Christmas has ever got into!

The Utter Exhaustion of Building Mechanics in Games

Minecraft was pretty cool right? Game dev's seemed to think so because since then they've been trying to jam building mechanics into just about every series they can and personally, I don't think it always works... in fact, sometimes I think it actively hinders the experience!

    So whish is the canonical one ?

    • @Nighterac
      @Nighterac День назад

      Short answer - Honestly, none. Last Story is 100% canon though since Shadow Gens is a direct follow-up to it. It's kinda implied Shadow took his own path in the lead-up to the Last Story though, so.. yeah. Long answer...There's no right one, since it's impossible to hit all the story beats the Last Story requires. You basically have to leave out one story beat like Shadow potentially thinking he's an android. You basically choose your own canon. But you can do your best with it. Voyage of Reminiscence is my go-to with this. NNHHHD. Westopolis, Glyphic Canyon, Prison Island, Mad Matrix, Lost Impact, Cosmic Fall Dark (not Hero). You need the following beats for the Last Story: -Black Doom not being dealt with yet (this is very important, any endings that have him defeated are not canon) -Sonic not being an enemy and remaining as an ally to Shadow (any endings that have him defeated along with the GUN Commander/Diablon are not canon) -A direct confrontation with the GUN Commander (As he admits that he was wrong - so you need something in the story that supports this - and decides to honor SHADOW after Shadow defeats Devil Doom, not Gerald, this was a mistranslation in the US dub, unfortunately the game is littered with bad mistranslations like this that affect discussions about the game and its story) -Eggman alive (any endings that have him killed by Shadow are not canon) -Potentially Shadow having helped the Chaotix before since the data collected is important to Shadow and they know it, and just like Heroes were the ones uncovering the real truth behind everything (which only happens in Mad Matrix) -Charmy directly mimicking Shadow (only happens in Mad Matrix) -Eggman lying to Shadow, and claiming he created him (Iron Jungle), since he apologises to Shadow about it in the Devil Doom fight -Shadow remembering his promise to Maria (only happens in Lost Impact) For Expert Mode, it's the same thing. Expert Mode is usually what's used to explain why Shadow ends up working for GUN in 06, because he was already going through training in Expert Mode. In the dialogue there, the GUN Commander invites Shadow over to see his grandkids - again, he needs build-up in the story to get to this point, which Cosmic Fall works perfectly for this. Cream also thanks Shadow "for the other day" - referring to Cryptic Castle Hero where you help Amy rescue her. This raises an issue here - you can't do Cryptic Castle and Mad Matrix for example in one path. It has to lead in from Prison Island first. You also can't have the events of Lost Impact and Iron Jungle at the same time, it's one or the other. And that's just the Last Story. Expert Mode makes things worse because it means Cryptic Castle Hero is canon but that can't be done at the same time as Prison Island, which is important as it ties into Mad Matrix - which Charmy mimicks Shadow's brute-force seen in Mad Matrix's opening cutscene to gain access to the computer. Shadow needs to help Charmy here collect the discs to get to Mad Matrix. BUT the events of Lost Impact do happen regardless - it was an actual flashback, unlike The Doom which was a hallucination. The incident with Artificial Chaos is directly mentioned in Gerald's journal for Shadow Gens, with talk of Shadow "pacifying" them. You don't HAVE to do the Hero mission and you can just get to the goal ring (Gerald's lab) though. So you can easily say Shadow found Gerald, got Maria and him to safety, and then pacified the Artificial Chaos. Or he was pacifying them along the way to Gerald's lab, which is a much more simpler explanation - both missions are "canon" in a way. But either way, Lost Impact definitely happened. It's up to intepretation if Shadow actually remembers it in the path or not, but the events still took place regardless. So any path that has Lost Impact would be "canon" now, excluding the Hero mission though unfortunately. This is because the Hero mission for Lost Impact leads to Final Haunt, which can't be canon. Black Doom has been defeated by Shadow, which contradicts the Last Story. Why give the emeralds to someone you just defeated? So this is why everyone suggests Cosmic Fall, more specifically the Dark mission, instead - Eggman has been dealt with and is left alive still unlike the other endings where Shadow kills him, you get the confrontation with the GUN Commander, Sonic is still an ally, and Black Doom's fate is left as a cliffhanger for the Last Story. It also helps explains away why Eggman stays away from the ARK in future games too. Anyway, as I already said, if Lost Impact is part of a "canon" path, this means Iron Jungle cannot happen, which creates a plot hole for that Eggman line during the Devil Doom fight. Both take up stage 5. So where Voyage - despite it being the most "canon" path IMO -fails despite having most if not all of the plot beats, is the Shadow android stuff being absent. Eggman will just say Shadow has "no past" like "he" (remember it was Neo Metal disguised as Eggman, not Eggman himself) did in Heroes. It's only Iron Jungle that brings up Eggman's lie of having created Shadow, not just that he has "no past". You basically have to ignore Eggman saying that he was lying about Shadow being "his creation" since that subplot only appears in Iron Jungle. But it's kinda needed at the same time, even if it is easy to miss since it happens nine minutes into the Devil Doom fight - since it explains how Shadow survived the end of SA2, and how he truly is the real deal.

  • @NomadicPunkKid
    @NomadicPunkKid 3 дня назад

    As one who likes Shadow the Hedgehog and went as far as to 100% it, there were a couple of pathway names that stood out to me. Here are a few of my interpretations that I thought of in my head. The Loner's Choice: Shadow follows Black Doom, but remains neutral, all the while taking in what Doom shows him (i.e. Shadow relives the ARK tragedy on the Doom, seeing Maria die, and Black Doom telling Shadow that the humans wanted to kill him). After some thought, Shadow becomes Black Doom's loyal servant, vowing to bring order and justice to the humans. The Faint Light of Tomorrow: The "faint light" could refer to how humanity's last hope (i.e. Shadow), has disappeared. Seeing that Shadow took out a part of Black Doom's army, but willingly sides with Doom until the end where Shadow declares that only he knows best, the fate of the world is left uncertain. Will Shadow use the Chaos Emeralds for good or evil? We'll never know. Setting Out In The Morning: Mornings symbolize a new beginning. In this case, Shadow believes that he's an android, thinking that the original died after Android Shadow relives O.G. Shadow's imprisonment/awakening on Prison Island, and witnessing GUN kill Maria in the Doom. In the end, Android Shadow starts a new life for himself, vowing to be stronger than the original. A Dark Myth's Beginnings: This is one of the most evil pathways Shadow can take, seeing that Shadow takes out Black Doom's army, GUN, Eggman's airships, and Black Doom himself, ending with Shadow declaring that he will conquer the universe for himself. Shadow displays zero loyalty towards the heroes and villains here lmao Explanation of the Truth: A confused Shadow is unsure who to believe. Eggman tells Shadow he has no past and that he's an android. The GUN Commander blames Shadow for being born, stating that he instigated the GUN raid that killed everyone on the ARK 50 years ago. By the end, Shadow finds Black Doom, who explains the truth: Doom was the one who created Shadow, thus confirming the GUN Commander's accusations. This causes Shadow to be convinced that he's a monster. Shadow defeats Black Doom as a form of atonement to everyone who died on the ARK, but solemnly wishes that he was never created. I think this path (and the other pathways that lead to the Semi-Hero, Hero ending) has Shadow take his own life, or Shadow turns himself into the GUN Commander, getting arrested in the process. I would love to expand on this, but I really don't want this comment to be very exhaustive lol, but these were my honest thoughts on some of these pathway names. What do you all think about this?

    Few things I'd like to point out: I don't think Yoshi natively live on Isle Delfino. Aside from the fact the ones in Sunshine are water soluble, when a Yoshi egg appears in Delfino Plaza, it makes the emergency-level news. A Yoshi Egg, even on it's own, doesn't really seem like it'd be out of place enough to be broadcast on the same level of news as "A visiting noble was kidnapped" if Yoshi lived on the island Also, If you count unused game files as canon, it's even stated that the Yoshi on Delfino are constructs from Jr.'s magic paint.

    A couple of headcannon adjustments for myself. 1. ALL the kingdoms in Odyssey are much larger than the areas we actually get to explore. That's why they look so big on the map. And the mushroom kingdom is the same size on the map as it is in game, it's just that the planet is really really big, making it look small. It still includes all those biomes. 2. The only Kong island are actually south of the Odyssey land mass, and re-oriented 180° so that the Northern Island IS still north of Doneky Kong island. I just think the current placement you have is too far north for it to be tropical. Either way great video. I love it when someome else takes these things way too serious like I do.

    I really loved this video and enjoyed all of your very hard work. Well done! The only note I'll offer isn't actually about the makeup of your maps, but titles. For Daisy to be an Empress, she would have to have a whole empire, which would consist of at least 2 kingdoms. The title is based on the size/scale of ruling. Kings/Queens rule kingdoms, princesses and princes rule principates/principalities. Baronesses/Barons rule over baronies. E.g. the highest ruler and monarch in Monaco is a prince, because it's a principality. I just learned all of this a few months ago and found it fun and interesting to know, so wanted to share. I am not insinuating you made a mistake of any note, or that you should change it. It's a small throwaway line for fun in a RUclips video about some head canon. Just thought others might find it interesting as I had.
