There's been a resurgence of love for Gwimbly recently and it's honestly been a real nostalgia trip me.
I was super excited to see that Gwimbly recently got a port of the 2600 version. It's not my favourite version of the original title but the fact it got a port at all after all these years is incredible. It was actually the very first game to introduce kids to Creamed Corn, and had a significant impact on the industry. For a month creamed corn was a more valuable collector's item than beanie babies or white tourist children in Thailand.
My first gaming memories were in the DOS era but occasionally my brother would drag out his old Atari. That was the first time I had ever seen a Gwimbly game before he got big in the 32bit era. Most of us probably played his game via bootleg floppies but everyone who was lucky to get a retail copy got their very own live Gwimbly sealed in the box in the form of an actual live mouse found around Chernobyl.
I've got a boxed and sealed copy I was able to get off Amazon right before the retro game market started to get crazy. If this video gets a million views I'll do an unboxing and see how that little guy held up over 40 years.
The game was ported by Moth Entertainment onto itch.io as an HTML5 version and maintains all 10 cans of creamed corn lovingly rendered in their original placements giving 10 points each. Completionists should aim for all 100 points. The original title was famously made in the space of a few hours and you can tell the same amount of love and care has been put into this port. It comes complete with the lack of walk cycle, start screen, or any sort of endgame or additional levels just like the original. It's just pure adrenaline as soon as you turn it on.
The game takes about 15 seconds to complete and features the final tricky hole and spike geometry of the original. We used to play this game for hours over and over again. This is just what people had to do before softcore sites like Instagram and TikTok got popular.
Do I recommend this game? Absolutely it's an important part of the history of videogames, and I think you can get an entire microsecond of fun out of playing this classic Gwimbly title.
I can hear Zach laughing at seeing all of these Gwimbly games.
The gaslighting is real
Your Gay
@@user-ci6hb3mq1q * You’re
There needs to be a miniature Gwimb-lad flexing in the background somewhere
@@user-ci6hb3mq1q No, you're gay
Do you guys remember Mr.Millipede mansion
yeah but it was too scary for me ):
@@LeGrungler Yeah I think that's why it got pulled out of stores
So that’s why he died
Its where he first found fent

Kids in 20 years will think Gwimbly was real.
If [Adult Swim] Games wasn’t being run into the ground by notoriously cheap asshole David Zaslav, we’d *HAVE* a real Gwimbly game by next year. Now the best we can hope for is an appearance or playable character in Multiversus (alongside Mr. Boss, because who _else_ from Smiling Friends would suit a Smash-Like platform fighter?).
Edited: I feel like the only other characters that could properly represent [AS] in Multiversus are Brock Samson, Spear and Fang, the Robot Copernicus from Unicorn Warriors Eternal, and the Aqua Teen Hunger force as Pokemon Trainer/TMNT from Injustice 2 style swapping fighter (Master Shake would only attack with melee weapons and exploding TV’s and other objects he’d throw on the ground, maybe he’d also summon rain clouds and lightning, but the more does it, the more he melts into a puddle, causing you to swap him out for the other two Hunger Force members).
wdym think? gwimbly always was real
It will be glorious
He is real though. You're probably too young to remember sadly.
He never had tail it was always a gaping prolapse
Y’all remember when Mr millipede was supposed to get his own game but the company had already moved on? Devastating for me as a kid
Then he had a drinking problem
okay GAMZEE MAKARA
I swear he was supposed to get his own Dreamcast port
@@Phenomfly no you thinking about the Saturn port
It was supposed to have corned beef to stand out from Gwimbly but keep with the corn theme. Apparently a playtester heavily disliked corned beef and threw his controller at the screen upon the realization that that was the collectible.
I know its kind of a hot take and I'm probably going to get flamed for it, but I actually loved Gwimbly '06 as a kid. A lot of people thought the darker take on the franchise was out of character or felt forced, but I really connected with the deeper themes and felt like it gave Gwimbly a lot of depth that wasnt present in prior entries. Plus it was the first game to ever feature his iconic gwimbly gun, so it's got to get credit for that at the very least. Anyway, thats just my opinion 😌
Listen man, the gwimbly gun was a cheap copout to distract from the obvious lack of development from all of the side characters. Because of how the gwimbly gun was upgraded the relationship meter with all of gwimblys beloved gang became an xp bar for whenever your next level up came. While we were supposed to be growing closer to these characters as we became stronger we really just gave them cans like an absurd material system.
the mr millipede and super gwimbly kissing scene was a little weird but I loved the game for it’s tenacity! I heard someone made a great remaster of it in unity recently too
Let’s face it. Grimbly had a rough transition into 3D.
@@pupsic0la idk, I felt like the series had kind of been hinting toward that kind of relationship for the past two or three entries anyway, plus it made the whole betrayal and then reunion and then second betrayal hit even harder. I'll definitely have to check out that remaster though, and hopefully they touched up the way the gwimbly gun controls because the whole 6 hour shooting gallery section was almost unplayable in the original version. Thanks for the rec :D
I thought his relationship with that human female was a little inappropriate and it made me rather uncomfortable as a kid.
I am the creator of this software and I appreciate you taking the time to play it. I made this over the course of about an hour before posting it on our itch page. The game started out as fan art of Gwimbly that I posted on a discord server. I then turned it into an exercise to see how fast I could create a platformer that copies the Atari style. Most of the time went into downloading different color palettes and getting distracted. Although the game was meant to be a funny joke, we were surprised to see it get as many players as it did.
Stay fresh, cheese bags

👀
:3
fun fact: this game dev is very cute
Ok, you've convinced me, I'll take him.
Fan art??? Discord??????? This shit’s been around for over 30 years lol
I hated it so much when they tried to change the color of Gwimbly’s arms that I went to GameStop and tried to recolor all of the copies of Gwimbly ‘06 with a sharpie. I can’t believe the employees actually threw me, a Gwimbly purist, out of the store and banned me for life!
You should have pepper sprayed them
How do you feel about your mother?
I was only just starting to pupate when gwimbly was popular, so I didn’t play any of the games myself.I mostly learned of him through my older brother who was a huge gwimbly fan. I remember we had gwimbly monopoly, getting the gwimbly Kraft Mac n’ cheese shapes, and when Salty’s had the gwimbly toys for their kids meals
I loved his dark and moody era with call of gwimbly advanced corn
I was the lead writer for the first four Gwimbly games back in the day. Most people didn't understand the deep lore of the creamed corn, but that's just how games were then.
I'll never forget when Gwimbly transformed into Super Gwimbly for the first time and gwimbled an entire planet!
It really set the tone for all media in the 21st century.
I quite literally got chills seeing that gwimbly smash screen
Oh yes I remember how I got my very first gaming console with this and The Mouse Quest: The Beginning
Good times
I know everyone liked the sweeping epic that was Gwimbly Adventure 2, but for me there's no more nostalgic, perfect moment in time than the original Gwimbly Adventure. I remember looking for every single one of the 346 cans of creamed corn spread throughout the areas. I never got all of them, but that makes it kind of a time capsule for me now, a little moment of my childhood perfectly preserved, like the corn in a can of creamed corn.
I loved the part when Count Groxia sent his "G-100" robots out to find Small The Dog's best friend "Lizzy" bc he swallowed a Chaos Corn
None of them knew that the main villain of the game, the god of destruction made out of lava, "Disorder", possessed Lizzy
Ouu ouu ouu
I respect that you spelled it correctly. A lot of people don't realize the rpg games actually wrote it out multiple times this way
@@micahrobbins8353 yeah, its really hilarious that they think the game manuals way of spelling it is correct, its clearly “Ouu ouu ouu”.
Rat was Gwimbly the entire time
I don't think I would have ever had the confidence to start this channel without role models like Gwimbly to guide me.
@@bigrathole Truly most influencial figure of all time.
@@JacobTheCroc #stangwimbly
Classic or fever dream? You decide~
that sounds extremely freaky
I was SO excited to hear Gwimbly was coming to Super Smashing Fighters! I grew up with that game. He really "creamed" the competition!
Does anyone remember the game Gwimbly is missing? or especially Gwimbly teaches typing?
Yeeeeees!!!!, that's how i learned how to type when i was a homunculus.....so much fond memories!!!. It was the perfect mix of entertainment and education!
Don't forget those iconic cutscenes from Motel Gwimbly. I think that game was on the same platform as Mouse: the cheeses of evil.
I remember playing math attack for hours just to unlock to secret gwimbly skin because thats as close as my parents would let me get to playing a real gwimbly game when I was homeschooled. Jokes on them though because the Gwimbly gun had realistic blood effects in math attack just like in the real gwimbly games anyway
This and Ross Perot winning the presidency in 1996 is the reality I’m running with now
One time I saw a recreation of the original first Gwimbly game from 1958. A lot of people don't remember it, but it was made out of repurposed radar tech, it was called "Dinner for Two" and the goal was for players to feed each other little kernels of creamed corn. Ahead of its time, man. Everything today is about competition and violence, but back then you received points for providing a friend with a healthy, delicious meal.
I can’t tell if he’s an actual game mascot or only from smiling friends
he's a real mascot
he's real, I loved gwimbly as a kid
I love this joke so much
Sure he’s not as big like before but he use to be up there with the big times
It’s like pizza tower where they had the rights to use an obscure platforming mascot
My biggest Gwimbly nostalgia moment is the end of level 3 stage 1 in Battletoads: Corn Creamer Edition where Gwimbly says “It’s gwimblin’ time” and does his iconic victory dance
Fantastic video, great humor, and a background that goes extra hard with some footage of BRC.
Absolutely subscribing
I think it’s so depressing that the failed Wii release of the Gwimbly Classic Collection caused the franchise to be forgotten. It honestly wasn’t even that bad, they just rushed it and chose the wrong console to focus their attention on, shoehorning the motion control into the old games didn’t work well.
Gwimbly was a bit before my time, plus I never had a consoles as a kid. However, I think finding a statue of him and Mr. Milipede in Viva Piñata was pretty cool.
This unlocked a memory I forgot I had.
Man now I really want to go and play Gwimbly's adventure 3 again.
This is literally incredible. Excellent job
lol I remember the first time I realized that shitting your pants was wrong. I was playing gwimbly.
Love this! great job
Who remembers gwimbly kart 64???
I never got to play any of the Gwimbly games back in the day (because I wasn't born yet) but thankfully his recent resurgence in popularity has introduced me to a really cool game franchise.
I was never able to play the classic gwimbly titles since I didn’t grow up in that era, but I have a bunch of memories of playing gwimbly tales on my grandmother’s Nokia, taht song of the first level is glued to my memory.
I remember in our primary school computer classes they had some Gwimbly games installed. They were educational games, such as teaching math and typing, albeit still very fun.
We were never allowed to play them in IT class unless the teacher told us we could, but we’d always sneak in a few minutes of Gwimbly whenever the teacher wasn’t looking.
So much nostalgia beaming through my soul watching this video. I remember playing Gwimbly Fighter 3 Creamed Strike as a toddler and its the only thing that makes me forget about my dad getting drunk and beating us
I cannot retain a single word said during this video. This is prime jibber-jabber, concentrated, crude, oiled up nonsense spilled for two long, dragged out excruciating minutes of which half I was trying not to end my own life.
Cute art I loved it!
I can see how one would play this game for hours straight, I played for a genuine 15 minutes and could keep going too
-I beat the game, 100%
-tried to go through it as fast as possible, got caught on that beautifully sprited bridge tho
-I died to both spike traps on separate runs
-I went through the stage forwards and backwards while hearing the entire OST (is that the song I think it is?)
-I went through the game while holding the space button, jumping continuously, pretty tough.
-I tried to see if I could wall jump, worked well enough
-I attempted Gwimbly's iconic dance, by spamming back and forth atop the beautifully sprited bridge
(This must have been before his iconic catchphrase.)
-even tried to do some clipping into the beautifully sprited bridge, as latter Gwimbly games were famous for.
Happy to have experienced such a part of history
Yeah I put chocolate rain in the background
I remeber playing this game back in my youth!
Did you know there was an unofficial DOS port of this game? I had to upgrade my windows 3.1 sound card to Blaster FX just to get the graphics to work....
Good times!
Wow. It’s been a Long time Since I’ve Seen a Qwimbly Game!
yes, I too remember playing Gwimbly games at the ripe age of 7. Amazing times those were.
Gwimbly Advanced was such an underrated gem. I never hear anyone talk about it.
I’ve got some memories of playing gwimbly 06 with my sis and I when we were younger :)
i'll never forget the final scene of the third game, where gwimbly said "its gwimblin' time! ooh ooh ooh!" and gwimbled all over the place. best gaming moment in history. brought tears to my 7 year old eyes.
The first gwimbly game was great
The stories that started to come up about that game used to terrify me. I don't really remember all the details perfectly, but it was like if you died on the last spikes over and over until they disappeared and then tried to walk backwards for an hour, the screen would eventually fade to black, leaving you in a strangely detailed room that looked like a very lived-in, 70s style child's bedroom. As you walked, you would pick up coins, but they would drift towards the screen and spin in the darkness for a little too long. It was totally silent except for Gwimbly breathing harder as you picked up coins, like he was afraid. But once you had picked up everything, the game stopped for ten minutes. You couldn't turn it off or move or do anything. It would then close and tell you the game was corrupted, and when you tried to play, it was just Gwimbly falling, forever.
Anyone remember being told that and trying to get it to do it???
That was really funny, you should make more
My first Gwimbly game changed my life. I had so much creamed corn that year, it was probably more than the average person has in their entire life. To this day I'm still secretly hoping another Gwimbly game is released 🙏
personally my favorite Gwimbly game was Gwimbly: a link to the cream corn. i thought it was really cool how you could turn into cream corn and slide between cracks in the walls. and overall it was a great rendition of Gwimbly: cream corn to the past.
I think Gwimbly Tactics on SNES was my favorite, no question. I needed a change from the old Gwimbly platforming formula
dude when I saw the creamed corn in that smash reveal I KNEW it was gonna be gwimbly, it was like the jiggy in banjo's reveal
When I first played Gwimbly, it was because I'd mained him in Smash and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Gwimbly 64 and Super Gwimbly 2 were just so much fun I couldn't stop playing.
Yo guys! Do y’all remember Gwimbly’s Galactic Adventure! That’s the game that got me hooked on to the gwimbly franchise! And it was also the game that expanded the lore on why gwimbly loves creamed corn! I was not expecting such emotinal damege! 7 year old me was not ready for that!
An entire millisecond? That's more enjoyment then an ubisoft game has given me in the past decade!
My favourite gwimbly game moment is in the gwimbly life simulator for the Nintendo virtual boy where you eat the cream corn
Oh man this brings back memories, I've been playing Gwimbly since I was a homonculus
Loved playing Gwimbly 64, staying up late nights during the summer to collect all the platinum cans was a nightmare!
Ooh ooh ooooh
"Gwimbly Space" from Wii, that was the tittle that got me in!
I’m glad that Smiling friends show is promoting this show again, really brought back some nostalgia. Hope they bring him back for a new game soon! Also, my live gwimbly is still alive!
Brilliant
Best platformer/cream corn simulator ever!
Gwimbly was my very first game ever, I miss it so much
I know it wasn’t very popular due to a lot of weird writing decisions and the handling of the character, but Gwimbly Other G is a childhood favorite of mine and was my introduction to the character
Awesome I used to love the Gwimbly Games
Brings back so many creamed corn memories
I still remember that Japanese port cream corn mania. Gwimbly games are the best.
I missed Gwimbly so much!
People like to call New Gwimbly the game that killed Gwimbly, but it was the first game I ever got for my DS when I was little and I enjoyed it.
OMG! I used to play Gwimbly for HOURS after coming home from school. I’d even pretend to be sick just so I could stay home and play Gwimbly all day!
“Gwimbly Advance” for the win!
I remember Grimbly being the first game I ever torrented on my dad's windows xp.
I speed ran the game for 13.96 seconds (touched the pause a bit too late) I think that's a high score.
the main key to doing faster is to push the jump button on the stairs to do like a double jump and go up faster
hope that helps
Omg no way dude so cool
I remember playing gwimbly advanced all the time at my cousins' house, good times
Honestly my favorite gwimbly game was this point and click game set in a horror mansion, I forget the name but you played as Mr millipede, searching around and doing puzzles to find gwimbly! It had some weird secrets too like the creamed corn altar
Honestly? Gwimbly CD will always be a favorite of mine, due to the Toei style animation in the game which was pretty cool for the 90s in my opinion.
I still have a sealed can of creamed corn!
Bro the first time i play it when i was young, i can't stop begging my mom for creamed corn
Can’t believe they buried every copy of every gwimbly game in a desert somewhere…. Rip gwimbly 😔
Oh my goodness
Dear lord have mercy on me
This is like reliving parts of my early childhood
Too bad that my dad sold almost all of my vintage Gwimbly cartridges when he left for good
Thanks for the nostalgia though
I had literally every boxed copy of every Gwimbly game but my mom got rid of all of it. It would have been worth thousands today. Thanks Mom.
I remember when Gwimbly got a port on the Philips CDI. The cut scenes were horribly done, but the game play was surprisingly good.
This was truly the first cream corn type game.
Ive lost count of how mamy times ive watched a playthrough of that old classic.
(However many was in this video, there were several)
My favorite gwimbly moment is the time when
This is the greatest meme ever💀
I love Super Gwimbly Sunshine! The secret levels were hard
Gosh I remember Christmas of 99 getting a Gwimbly plushie. My brother was so jealous!
Oo oo oo
Man, i remember when they made a full year dedicated for mr millipede and how the whole company almost went bankrupted
i still remember the christmas where i got my first gwimtendo
i grew up with that!
Ooo ooo ooo!
I should be studying for my history test but this is important
I was only allowed to play mr millipede mansion because my parents thought the other gwimbly games were too mature for me.
Gwimbly is the new Kekcroc
Fun fact, we were supposed to be a vehicular combat game surrounding the characters in the series. You're supposed to start with four characters at the start and then be able to unlock 8 more of them and once you beat the game with every other character, you can unlock the final boss as a playable character. It was meant to be a parody of Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8. It was canceled when the PlayStation 2 and the GameCube were announced as they thought it wouldn't sell well and vehicular combat was more aimed towards teens and young adults.
Cant believe tetra bit couldn't find this legend
Nice
"Ouu ou ouuuu!"
