The Rise and FALL of Gwimbly - The Sad Decline of the Most Famous Video Game Character EVER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In todays video I discuss the most famous video game mascot of all time Gwimbly. from his original games in the 90's where he fought and saved creamed corn from count groxia with help from mr. millipede and his gwimbly gun. Top his downfall and eventual rise again. If you don't understand anything from this video watch smiling friends. also consider this my late April fools video.
0:19 look, mom, I’m on tv
Your art was really good, I had to include it!

Erm this is epic
Lol good art maneee
gimby
i would say this is top tier gaslighting but, this isnt even gaslighting, this is one of the best in universe jokes on youtube
The Gwimbly craze is wild
The term you're thinking of is "shitposting" rather than "gaslighting"
@@floricel_112shitgassing, of course! thank you for the revelation.
Clearly you've never heard of Herculad.
Don't think anything's gonna top American Dad speed running, but this is pretty good.
I have to admit that I wasn't born when Gwimbly games came out so I have to use an emulator to play this game and oh boy, my generation needs Gwimbly soo badly, I definitely buying this remake to support more Gwimbly games
Gwimbly needs all the support he can get!
I didn't have a sistem besides the family pc back in the day
I only played it once with a friend and since then I was hoping somebody to do a remaster so I can actually play it
I didn't even get to the iconic dance
I think he was born in 2006
I hated how Gwimbly's Adventure on the Atari Jaguar was just Gwimbly 2 with a new box art. Gwimbly 3 made up for it ten fold. Best game of all time.
Gwimbly's games are just as great as OddWorld's Brutal ballad of Fangus Klot :0
My mom thought Gwimbly's games were too violent, but my dad got me a copy for my 7th birthday.
When my mom found out, she called an old contact of hers (I think his name was Joshua Tomar) and he came over snd destroyed my copy of Gwimbly 2: Cream Corn Crusaders.
Then Mr. Tomar threw the shards into my eyes, ripped off my skin, shoved my flayed skin into my Playstation, and played a new game from my skin.
From all of ten minutes playing the game, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
What game were you playing out of your skin? Mine was personally Bubsy 3D
@@Oliver-is4dl Spyro
Mr. Tomar seems like a pretty big douchebag. Sorry about your disk, but at least we have youtube playthroughs of the game so you can at least get the story
Yo I think I met ur mom, she's a good dancer 😏
Wow, this Tomar guy seems pretty funny xD
3:16 He's already in Mario Kart wii?! Man, people are fast at modding
Yup! It was made by Fireplace_2 over on twitter
It’s not a mod.
@@funnymanhaha7899 You're right he was officially added this morning.
@@fungustheclown666 this was added years ago bro. Wdym
Complete with his iconic prolapse
I remember playing the GBA port of Gwimbly 3 on my 9th birthday. Damn, I miss the early 2000s.
I never played the GBA port... was it any good?
@@MrTele-Tell the controls where kinda wonky, but the level formatting was pretty solid
@@Orbity5491 hm. Might have to check it out one day
They went for the tony hawks approach with a isometric camera and simple 3d and thank god for that, it's so much better than the banjo kazooie gba games.
Qwimbly 2 for the sega Saturn was pretty good. Sega even thought of buying the mascot, so it could save the Saturn for not having a proper mascot for the system which Sonic Xtreme didn't do.
I heard that the new Gwinbly remake will be called ''Gwimbly Iconic Trilogy'' you will even be able to play as Gwenbly, Gwinbly's sister
Ooh that's a rumor I haven't heard yet!
A shame Gwinbly's brother Chwadbly didn't appear after the first game. Apparently the devs thought his design was "too suggestive" and "behind the times".
@@MrTele-Tell Missed opportunity to not put "Iconic" in the title btw
I never liked gwenbly since her inception on gwimbly 3, i allways thought her too shallow of a character, the rule 34 of her is great though
And I heard it's the dark souls of all games
I remember playing his games as a kid its sad to see a childhood hero go down such a dark path
It was truly tragic, good to see things starting to look up for him
@@MrTele-Tell i hope the remake comes out soon
@@Fact26892 the remake has came out, but they took away his iconic gwimbly gun. Gwimbly has gone GWOKE.
Strangely reminds me of rayman
@@harismirza6447 but thats the best part wtf #notourgwimbly #justiceforgwimbly
I remember the gwimbly games. It took me almost 2 years to beat gwimbly 2: gwimbly boogaloo because of that stupid can of beans in that one level. I still shudder about that level every time I think of beans. I really hope they make more gwimbly games. That shit mady my childhood man.
I thought Gwimbly 2 was kinda difficult, but not nearly as hard as gwimbly 3: Gwimblys revenge
Gwimbly saved my life. I was in a dark place and attempted to end it all multiple times, but each time before I pulled the trigger I thought of Gwimbly’d iconic catchphrase “oo oo ooo” and was given a reason to keep going. The only way I can experience joy is when I’m collecting cans of creamed corn with my best friend Gwimbly.
@@MrTele-Tell Dude remember the underwater shark level? Absolute nightmare fuel.
Alot of people hate the can of beans part of the game. I can understand where they are coming from, especially the last few platforms you need to do that require pinpoint accuracy. It's absolutely ridiculous.
But in all honestly, the worm level is worse. Yeah it was short, but the worm movement controls felt like tank controls and escort missions had a baby in an ice level.
@@Kilometers_KPHwe don’t talk about the worm level…
The problem with Gwimbly.
Why Gwimbly is actually a hidden gem.
The dark hidden lore of Gwimbly.
Gwimbly: the best game you’ve never played.
Gwimbly: a retrospective.
You know what was really unappreciated about Gwimbly 1, the fact that it was able to implement 2D platforming in a 3D space that NO other game made when they jumped the dimension gap. Mario 64 was great, but it's really apparent how little thought they put into the world designs when you look at Gwimbly. Plus the multi-player mode was super addicting. And when the Gwimbly games got hand-held ports, rather than trying to squeeze a 3D game down, they actually perfected the art of translating the mechanics everyone loved in the 3D games into a downscaled version.
Wish they would stop teasing us with references and DLC skins and release a new game.
Gwimbly had a flawless transition into 3D
It was so ahead of it's time.
Sad seeing this beloved franchise in such neglected state in 2024
I ran into Gwimbly outside a Lowes a few years ago. Had to do a double take. I was going to ask for a selfie but then he got into the back of a pick up truck with some other dudes and drove off for “work”.
this is such an iconic video essay for such an iconic video game character. well done!
Thank you!
@@MrTele-Tell
I think a Trogalor episode is in order, given he too is being phased out.
I love how in universe using the smiling friends clips would be like making a Mario video and using footage of IRL Mario body cam arrest footage
Hope you guys enjoyed my late April Fools video
The material it is based off did got released on April 1st so (puts sombrero) I'll allow that
@@Mordecrox (Tips sombrero) Thanks
What do you mean, that all sounded accurate to me? I played those games since I was a homunculus and this was a perfect short history!
Yea I was gonna say this video, already without even seeing it, seemed like an April fools that released after the show did
Commit to the bit
Can't wait for "The History of Gwimbly ANY% Speedrunning" from my favorite youtuber, Summoning Pepper.
I will be there day 1
I have fond memories of Gwimbly. It always brought such an iconic smile to all 50 of my brother's faces when Gwimbly did his dance, but i felt the series began getting stale after the 2nd game. Sad to see what happened to Gwimbly afterwards.
The Gwimbly series gets better after the third one, you gotta try it if you haven't already, super solid
You're just as missed as Gwimbly, Justin Y❤️
I literally cried at the end of Gwimbly 3. So emotional.
The part where they revealed his father secret identity as the killer of capybaras
@@JohnSkaoand the part before where gwimbly finds inner peace and moves on from the past
@@deezbananas7608 the moment he said "no use in crying over spealed cream corn" literally brought me to tears
@@JohnSkao ikr and mr milipede’s character development is some of the best in gaming
@@deezbananas7608 mr milipede was truly underrated in that game
I had no idea gwimbly made an appearance in mario kart wii. I guess he was just a temporary character or something.
I think you had to buy a special edition of the game to unlock him
@@MrTele-TellAh. That makes more sense. I wonder if he'll make any more appearances in the future
G is real 1994
My dad would play the Gwimbly games all the time when he was a kid. Just the other day he actually dusted off his old N64 along with his Gwimbly 3 cartridge and I was instantly hooked! I've been playing it nonstop. It's honestly such an inspiring story that Gwimbly has created out of his fall from grace and inevitable rising from the metaphorical ashes like the absolute Phoenix this man is, so excited for Gwinbly 4. It's gonna be up there with the greatest videogames in history, I just know it!
I can already tell whenever Gwimbly 4 releases, it will be the most sold game of all time!
@@MrTele-Tell it's gonna make a Gwimbillion dollars
when growing up mr millipede was always my favorite gwimbly character. it's so sad we lost him like this, but i hope it opens people's eyes to the threat of fentanyl in america which too frequently goes unnoticed. i'll miss you mr millipede, fly high king 🕊🕊🕊
Michael j fox did such a great job voicing him in the second one, shame they changed the voice actor from the third onward
I remember seeing Gwimbly as a cameo on Blood Art 64. Never mind the fact that he was a k-a icon in a game about grafting body parts in the midst of combat, the fact that a psx exclusive character was on the n64 was crazy. I'm just glad he didn't go the Conker route...for all the good that did.
It was so hard to see him… and it’s too bad you need a GameShark to actually play him. I feel like “Blood Art” (2015) is part of what may have damaged Trogalor’s career, he was hella broken in it.
@@austinreed7343 Ugh, don't even get me started on that awful remake. The snes version was superior by far. Sure, the computer-controlled players were dumb as bricks, but it was an amazing beat-em-up, not to mention the ONLY snes beat-em-up that supported 4-player. It was good, bloody fun, and you didn't see M rated games that often om the snes. Man, was I pissed when IGG bought the rights to Blood Art. I mean, the junky a.i. was half the fun, and they had to fix it with that remake. It's no wonder it bombed,vthanks to all those stupid microtransations and pointless dlc. I tell you, that ceo had no idea what he was doing.
@@SuperNormalMan
Worse, their rights to Blood Art expired recently; the Blood Art collection by another, even worse company, does include that remake, with Trogalor made even more broken.
@@austinreed7343 The only reason to play it at all is for that sweet 4-player action without that weird snes 4-player addon.
I can't believe you forgot to mention his 1997 human trafficking trial. That was the first time he ever used his iconic "Buzz Off" catchphrase.
I still can’t believe people thought he’d do that. He’s a nice guy.
Rumor has it Mr. Millipede started his fentanyl addiction around that time as well. Some say the long trial did a number on him. Incredibly sad.
I know this only mentions Gwimbly’s game history, but I loved watching the Saturday morning Gwimbly show. Was a core part of my childhood. Sad that he is only getting popular because of his Smiling Friends cameo.
Didn't they supposedly cancel the show because Mr. Millipede was causing a lot of drama on set? He was showing up late or sometimes not at all and when he was there, he yelled at staff and had several meltdowns. Unfortunately, now we know why he acted like that. RIP 🙏
I remember there being an animated series called Gwimbly adventures on 4kids. It was a slapstick comedy. I use to watch a lot as a kid.
I heard the Japanese version of the cartoon was better
Unfortunately it ran for 2 seasons after immediately being cancelled due to low ratings.
Man, Gwimbly was my childhood. I need to see if my old SNEES still works so I can try 100% completing Gwimbly 2
Gwimbly 2 is a classic
The side-scrolling of Gwimbly 2 could get some time getting used to, specially after top-down was consolidated as the official ™ Gwimbly experience
But overall it's a very enjoyable game, I wish AAA game companies like IBG would experiment more you know?
i love the fact nobody can agree what console this thing was on XD
My dad had a Gwimbly game, he told me i could play it when i was older. Sadly he lost his temper after it was revealed Mr. Dagamo was actually Count Groxia in disguise and he threw his Vinbimbo 46 threw the tv destroying ths game in the process, so i never got to play it.
I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Y'know the Gwimbly DS spinoff, Gwimbly: Secrets of Gold Corn, is really good. It's a metroidvania in the style of Shante with the only playable appearance of Mr. Millipede.
I've had a can of creamed corn sitting in my pantry for 26 years, ready for the day they finally release Gwimbly 4.
I.... erm.. you do you I guess
According to his Wikipedia page, Gwimbly was originally going to be a side character in Spyro The Dragon for the PS1, his story would involve him being the loyal assistant of Gnasty Gnorc, but after seeing the dragons made a mistake, he joins Spyro on his quest to stop his master.
Y'know, I can definitely see the resemblance to Gnasty Gnorc
I genuinely believe this
Never knew what the craze of Gwimbly was about till I got my hands on “Gwimblys Grasshopper Gambit” for the Dsi, absolute blast, the rocket barrel part especially. Criminal how underrated it is.
Oh, I remember this!
I think Gwimbly 4's "Count Suckula" is undoubtetly one of the hardest bosses I've ever faced in an early 2000's platformer.
THAT FALLING PUMPKIN, MAN!
Gwimbly deserved better, let's hope that trilogy remake is still in the works.
For sure, I've heard rumors of a reveal happening in the fall but we'll have to wait and see
There is talk about about the late Mr. Millipede's nephew, Jason Millipede, willing to take the role of Mr. Millipede for the trilogy remake, as a tribute to his late uncle.
Gwimbly adventure It marked my childhood, it was one of the characters that I loved so much, its charisma, its ironic and funny phrases, its playability, or men, those were games made with love. How is it possible that there are people who love nuggets, who despise a great character and throw him in the trash? It's a stab in the forehead to know that Gwimbly is like this right now.
I remember playing Gwimbly with my older cousin during summer break. We never beat it but it's a memory I hold close.
I know Gwimbly 4: The Wrath of Count Groxia got mixed reviews but I loved it. Gwimbly Twinsanity was also pretty good. Gwimbly of the Titans however was mid at best.
Like a lot of iconic video game mascots in the 90’s, Gwimbly was going to have a cartoon series but it never made it past the pilot episode.
I heard warner brothers found the footage of part of the pilot where gwimbly was voiced by james earl jones and limp bizkit made the song for the opening
The original Gwimbly trilogy is stil such a great series today. It sucks IGBG dumped the platformer gameplay when they returned to the franchise with Gwimbly:Screws & Scraps. I still don't get what they were going for by making you create nuclear weapons out of cans of cream corn.
I remember renting Gwimbly back at Blockbuster as a kid in the year 2000. He pushed my N64 to the limit but I had fun. Shame copies for it run a few hundred.
Finally FINALLY gwimbly gets some love, been playing the games in the early systems since i was a kid so im super pumped Smiling Friends brought the games back to relevance again.
I thought this series was lost media. Thanks for shedding some light on it!
I also appreciate his appearance on Smiling Friends. It's a similar approach to Rayman's appearance in the Captain Laserhawk show.
I was more Banjo-Kazooie/ Mario back then, but I remember trying Gwimbly 1 on the demo setup at Costco and enjoying it a lot. Hope there's more coming up for the die hard fans.
gwimbly was a huge part of my childhood.....it's so sad to see him neglected like this. Holding my thumbs for the new gwimbly game !!!!
I remember when I was little I would watch my older brother play Gwimbly. I was never able to get past the tutorial back then lol. I was an annoying sibling and I always kept asking him to play so I could watch. my brother may have been annoyed by me back then, but I will always cherish those memories, and we're still really close
I was too young for the ps1/genesis era but you’d better believe after grinding 44 hours to unlock him in MK Wii I’ll never forget the king
I remember downloading all 3 Gwimbly games on the Wii Eshop back in they day
They were fun
Sad that Sony didn't add Gwimbly to their ps1 mini despite selling millions in america but then again that whole thing was a disappointment
Zach and co. Should make an actual Gwimbly game. I wouldn’t mind seeing PS1 styled games.
Are u implying that the ones we got arent actual games? Man ima beat the creamy corn outta ya
I remember playing Gwimbly on the my late model ps1, I'd always ask my mom if we could rent it from block buster. I remember hearing playground legends about the canceled Dreamcast version code-named Gwimbly: Re-Canned. It was supposed to be a version of Gwimbly 1 but with extra content that was originally going to be included in the PS1 version but was cut due to budget and time constraints. There was a commercial video and magazine pages showing off all the extra power ups and levels, plus there was now an extra secret ending if you collected all cans of cream corn and 100% the extra levels too. I didn't know much about the Dreamcast but I remember how letdown everyone was when when word spread that it was canceled when Sega discontinued the DC.
Since then a mostly-finished prototype GD-ROM of it was spotted at a flee market and some guy bought it for $5 and posted a few short videos of it on youtube in the late 2000's, that channel has since closed down and sadly the only archived gameplay footage is from a poor quality re-upload. It was then spotted again on ebay in 2017 for $10,000 and a hastily organized community fundraiser went underway to buy it and dump it for preservation. Unfortunately someone bought it just before the fundraiser goal was reached and according to rumor it went to some private collector, the trail ends there and it hasn't been seen since. Gwimbly Re-Canned is now considered to be the holy grail of video game prototypes, it even rivals Dinosaur Planet which was thankfully dumped and preserved. Many are now starting to write it off as a historic loss for gaming history since it is only a matter of time before the CD based medium will eventually degrade and the data on it becomes corrupted.
Grandpa Grumpbly was always my favourite member of the Gwimbly family. Heard he became a Canada citizen and had an assisted death last year. The painkillers weren't helping anymore.
As a Canadian I can confirm this rumor! He lived down the street from me. Poor guy, he and is wife were always soo nice. even tho she never appeared in games, grandma Gwimblys death really affected him. She always supported her husband behind the scenes.
@@vincentlapensee3182 Losing her was the straw that broke the camels back for sure.
I just think they really messed up when they decided to make Gwimbly's Wild Brouhaha a Dreamcast exclusive. Great game but man, what a death sentence.
Supposedly there’s a prototype for a Neo Geo CD version.
Everyone talks about Gwimbly but I played those games for Mr. Millipede. RIP to a freaking legend
Mr Millipede was a true treasure. He will be missed
It's too much whenever your personal heroes let you down.
RUclipsrs were bad enough, but I thought my childhood platformers were pure...
I don’t know if I would be alive today were it not for Gwimbly. Had I not learned from the Gwimbly 2D Blast plug & play game that you shouldn’t light a fire during a gas leak, I would have surely detonated the mine I was working at with a quick puff from my cigarette. Though he has done nothing to relieve me of my debilitating nicotine addiction, Gwimbly has saved my life.
I remember going to my friend's house and playing Gwimbly. We'd spend hours collecting all the cream corn in the game. Such an iconic franchise!
Thanks I had no idea about Mr milipedes addiction. I knew he had stopped using social media but geez
I remember playing Gwimbly on ATARI and Gwimbly II, Gwimbly III: The Forbidden Creme Corn and Gwimbly 4: Finale on PS2, but I've never notice the change of art direction between 3 and 4. I feel like this was the IP's way to transition itself into a more corporate form than what gwimbly (the actor) had anticipated.
I also recall the time when I was in magfest, gwimbly released a press call at the convention near the booth I was in and cleared out the speculations. In interview he was asked as to why he was 'fired' from IGBG, Gwimbly said; "My company never fired me, I was let go because we had creative differences." then proceeded to bust his iconic gwimbly dance for everyone.
It all makes sense now.
My brother and I would play the original Gwimbly together and take turns on each level [he would usually have to take over because I died too many times] and when Gwimbly’s Revenge came out with two player co-op we went bananas. It makes me miss old summers, y’know.
This is like an ARG or viral marketing for the show. Like a video in-universe for Smiling friends.
His iconic ooo ooo ooo is everything.
I heard back in the day that Gwimbly was supposed to get a cartoon by DIC. It was even more exciting because his debut episode was gonna be a crossover with Mario and Sonic from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog version. which would have been amazing! Too bad it is considered lost media as the first 1:22 of footage was lost when the Pope accidentally spilled Mountain Dew and destroyed the only existing tape in existence. So who knows if we'll ever see it.
"Gwimbly: Creme of the Cropped Corn" is still the best Gwimbly game ever made. Back in the early 2000s, it just shocked the whole video game scene. The graphics and game interplay were just something else. It may look dated by today's standards but it was a real pioneer back in the day.
Theres leaks on twitter about a remake, sequel AND mobile game! One of the original developers of the Gwimbly games in an interview said
["We're happy to see the response from past Gwimbly fans who've grown up with it! We've seen the fanworks and we felt outdone!" He said as he hid what looked like legal papers of a Grimbly fangame. "We want to imprOOOOOOVE the Gwimbly games to sell them to a newer audience! Untill then, stay tuned, cream corn chasers!! Ooh Ooh Ooh!!"]
I cant confirm the validity of these leaks but its something to definitely look out for!
I remember getting the Limited Edition Game Boy Color Gwimbly Edition for Christmas back in the day, It even came with Gwimbly's Adventure packed in, truly one of my favorite memories
I remember playing the original gwimbly games with my father, I always looked up to gwimbly and I was heartbroken to see his downfall. I can’t wait for him to get a second chance in the video game spotlight
man, i loved the gwimbly series. i remember listening to his famous gwimbly, " ooh ooh ooh" in a cream corn haze, he fills me with conviction he is the lord that blesses us, thank you gwimbly
The gwimbly games were a big part of my childhood, i cant wait for the remakes to release, infact im searching for my old BS1 in my attic to relive some old memories.
BS3 Pro edition is the greatest console ever!
hey man, love your content! could you please make a video on Gwimbly out of bounds? love from Europe
I never really played the originals, i was never into these sort of games as a kid, however i did play the ripoff mobile game. Its really sad to see how far some people can fall mentally.
i use to play gwimbly so much, i was sad when i heard he quit and there would never be another game again,
im so happy hes coming back
To be fair, Trogalor isn’t doing much better these days; since 2018 he’s been slowly phased out to focus on games as a service and DEI, his Smash appearance being a sort of final farewell. The last time he’s been in his own series as anything other than a cameo was years ago, and his series last had an entry in 2022, which flopped even on mobile and he didn’t show up at all. (Shame, it was pretty good for the standards of 2 decades ago but it was clearly too late). Leaks indicate a new game for 2027, but it apparently won’t have Trogalor in any significant role.
But will he be missed like Gwimbly?
I remember Gwimbly 3, it was xmas and my dad had got us a brand new V-Octagon for the family. He sat down with me and we played together till xmas dinner, its my first gaming memory.
RIP dad, and thanks for introducing me to gaming
Wow. What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing
Christ-mas not xmas
The Gwimbly games have aged extremely well. There was a certain subtle genius to it's level design which naturally lead players to learning and overcoming the mechanics introduced in each stage without the need for tutorials or long-winded explanations. That kind of gameplay-lead teaching is a lost art these days. A new Gwimbly game, if done well, could be extremely refreshing to the industry, but I fear it would fall flat unless the original creators were brought on board.
"Hey Tomar, what would you do if Grimbly came up to you and said "ooo ooo ooo"?"
Oh this brings back memories of gwimbly, i remember when me and my brother use to sneak out at 3 am to play gwimbly on the ps2 i still remember his iconic catchphrase ew ew ew 🙄
Man those were the days...
What a classic game! I even remember that time when Gwimbly appeared in “SuperStar Kart Racing” as a playable character with his legendary “Gwimbly Kart”!
I have distinct memories of playing Gwimbly on the nintendo 64 at my old friends place. Given I wasn't very good at the game, only being able to get a few of the cream corns, but it was one of the most fun games i ever played as a kid.
I loved the multiplayer racing mini game on Gwimbly 2, I didn't own it but other kids on the block had it.
I know Gwimbly 3 was considered peak of its genre but I still personally think that the first game had the best mood and aesthetics. Something about the animations and colour palletes in Gwimbly 3 felt off, and that's not even going into how they kind of ruined his character by forcing that romance with Gwimbalina (worst character ever introduced into the franchise tbh)
Bro I adore how far this has gone. Its incredible.
I think the real problem with the way Gwimbly fell off is despite the decent fanfare for Gwimbly 3 marking it as the end of the trilogy, people had yet to realize all the plot holes in the script for the dialogue of the game. Count Groxia was supposed to be made out as a compelling character as he revealed to Gwimbly why he got the creamed corn, which was because he was in love with Queen Quenloo and her favorite food was creamed corn, but they rushed the story by only fitting it in near the end. Meanwhile at the beginning of Gwimbly 3, Count Groxia was as vindictive as ever, forcing Gwimbly to repair his broken Gwimbly Gun in the Forsaken Lab in order to escape while he got to open the Gwimbly Safe and rob him of his creamed corn, stomping on Mr. Millipede's son Milly Jr. on the way out.
I believe the reviewer Chris Oney said it best when he was doing a let's play of the game years later "How the f*ck are we supposed to sympathize with this guy, he f*cking killed Milly Jr. Literally can't think of a worse thing to do to Mr. Millipede to make him team up with Gwimbly."
Dang, personally I’ve always preferred, Mouse Quest, but it sucks that this series had been dead for so long
Yeah, Mouse Quest died for good seemingly after the 2015 game. 2015 was not a good year for their IP; Trogalor’s reputation was damaged pretty badly by being broken as hell in Blood Art.
I thought I was the only guy that remembered Quimbly! I used to play 'Quimbly 2: Left Behind' with my brother all the time. It's a shame to see that they don't want to revive the franchise. You'd think they'd at least remaster the older titles.
I vaguely recall hearing the celebrity gossip about his heart surgery and how his contemporaries from his game, like the boss from the volcano level, really hoped he’d turn his life around afterwards. Didn’t really hear much about that until recently. Hopefully his new game goes well for him
Did you guys know that Gwimbly first appeared in Slime Slam, his enemy name was “Canned crusher”
I remember unlocking Gwimbly on Mario Maker as a playable costume. I hated how they took him out along with the feature in Mario Maker 2
Completely unrelated to gwimbly, but them removing the costumes from Mario maker 2 was such a shame
Not gonna lie, I wasn't always a big fan of the Gwimbly series, but there is no denying that Gwimbly had a massive impact on the 3D platformer genre, and hearing about all the positive things about the Gwimbly series, I decided to boot up my iconic dark blue Nintendo DS, and played the Gwimbly DS import, and I cried tears of joy when Gwimbly done his iconic victory dance.
In fact, many video game companies now want to bring back Gwimbly to the gaming industry, heck, even the developers of the Skullgirls series want to add Gwimbly as a guest star to their roster. However, one of the voice actors, Joshua Tomar, is heavily against Gwimbly being a guest star, even went as far to say anyone that buys the Gwimbly DLC of Skullgirls 2nd Encore will be chewed by Tomar's terrible teeth.
We need a fan game.
I want Gwimbly to get his cream corn like how the Trix Rabbit wants his damn Trix.
I was raised on Gwimbly... The best game to play on long roadtrips with my family!
I have fond memories playing Gwimbly 2 with my brother before he died from cancer. I remember when we used to read the comics in his hospital bed, I wish I could find them now since they went out of print. This series made childhoods, man.
Man am I glad Smiling studios bought the Gwimbly license from Insane Groundbreaking Games. Cant wait for Gwimbly definitive edition re-release and Gwimbly 4. That concept art looks crazy
He started going downhill once Gwimbly 06 was released and that was a buggy mess
Oh for sure, they dropped the ball with that one
Gwimbly 06 was my favorite. I think it's a fine enough game, though wearing The Malkavian Hat is currently how I'd have to optimize the experience, along with copious amounts of The Elise Gem.
Gwimbly Boom was kind of the last straw. To be fair, Trogalor’s last game as more than a cameo, released around the same time, also stank.
What was good about the Gwibly games was they did burrow from the other games at the time, but they also made it their own thing. it felt more like a new benchmark for platformers at the time. Like, old as it is now, back then this was "This is what we can do with all of these concepts together". Thats when it became the new thing. For a while no other games could really beat it because of that.
I don't care if Gwimbly is washed; I stand with him all the way. His inclusion in "Super Smash Bros. Corn" was awesome, even if Mr. Millipede wasn't incorporated into his moveset (God bless his soul)
This is very well edited and narrated, my good dude.
It’s so sad that people have all but forgotten Gwimbly
Damn. I always wondered what happened to Gwimbly. This is just... unfortune, cause it was a major part my childhood & many others. Happy to see that things are slowly becomin better.
Ok, but nobody has to forget his spin-off “Mr Milipede Madness”, it was released on 2012 by Gear box in company of IGG, making a surreal survival game with Mr Milipede as his protagonist.
Its was by far the most awesome and difficult game i played in my life, like, its not hard, but its tough on his story.
Like in one part (SPOILERS) we fight with a giant and drunk gwimbly, shooting at us, but with every shot, the screen is breaking, letting us see a real footage of a fight between mr milipede and gwimbly out set.
Its hard shit
So the gameplay of Banjo Kazzoie, the style vaguely of a PS1 game... Yeah PS1 the textures have enough detail. But yeah, and then basically the plot of DK Country.
I really want to know if this guy would be on the PS1 or the N64 or like... Nintendo and Sony didnt have a falling out in this world so he was on that Nintendo PS1.
However that would also mean that the Smiling Friends universe doesnt have the Zelda CDI games.
if I were to take I guess, I would say PS1, but I do like the idea of a Playstation/Nintendo collaboration
@@MrTele-Tell Either way the company is like rareware + ubisoft + activision
What a nice video. I remember Gwimbly very vividly. One of my favorite IPs.
Everyone remembers Gwimbly!
It's good to see Gwimbly getting some love again. Some of the speed runs for Gwimbly 2 are legendary. How people can get to the top of the Creamed Corn castle without even using Mr. Millipede's hover upgrade still blows my mind.
