    I was watching the video and it dawned on me how much editing must go into this and the time it must have taken to develop the style of these videos into a cohesive and coherent form. Thomas Game Docs must have an incredible set of skills and ability to take what was their ideas about these topics and turn them into this scripted form, with such an engaging narrative and clear visual themes. Not to mention getting any footage of games (whether it's playing the games themself, or sourcing footage online), deciding the music, creating the effects in whatever editing software, finding whatever music or visual assets needed. These videos are an incredible undertaking and it really dawned on me tonight. Thank you for your incredible work and passion. I hope you read the comments and that this is able to brighten your day Thomas Game Docs!

    I had a suspicion that Thwomp was voiced by Charles Martinet for a little while now. After reading up on the Mario Wiki in 2021, I clicked on a link to a video featuring Mario's voice clips from Super Mario 64. Unfortunately, that video has since been removed.
    Seeing you confirm that Martinet indeed voiced Thwomp with an unused Mario grunt is lovely! By extension, that means that Charles Martinet also is the voice of Whomp.
    The harp music from Super Mario Galaxy is relaxing. I also dig the Yoshi's Story cast trivia.
