The trouble is that he sounded kinda Goofy and sarcastic throughout this entire video, so instinctively I just kept thinking that he was making the facts up! XD
When I saw that he was featuring this video, I was wondering to myself how it would turn out as a purely informative format. How would he deliver the script without being able to make jokes? He dun did good.
This video is a chaotic mess. A bit too bubbly and bland. Once it really gets interesting, it’s already over... 9.5/10 “It has a little something for everyone.”
This seems like the perfect episode for Dunkey to narrate. The crazy backstory for this game, that many people probably didn't even know existed, almost seemed like one of his out of nowhere rants he's known for.
Christ, the amount of times that Dunkey has made jokes about quoting developers by saying things they never said in his videos makes it so that when he actually does say things Miyamoto actually said, it doesn't feel like he's telling the truth.
Dunkey has done this thing called "never break character for 11 years" which makes it very hard to take this video seriously. I do love dunkey tho good videou
_"It came to a finale when the board EXPLOADED into a giant PIZZA!"_ Admit it. If you hadn't seen the video for yourself, you would have thought that Dunkey was just making that part up himself.
@@zeldrio6079 He recently said his sons actually played on a Genesis while growing up, wonder if that had anything related to him wanting Mario to be more mature
"The game had 128 marios running around a giant 3D game board carrying blocks and pushing each other off the edge and came to a finale when the board exploded into a giant pizza." Yeah Dunkey was the perfect narrator for this video lmao
The board exploding into a giant pizza wasn't the real end of it though; In the video footage that this comes from, the demo ended with the giant pizza being inserted into a Gamecube, after it shook off all the Marios and blocks.
3:05 The game Miyamoto was invisioning could have possibly became the Mario & Luigi RPG franchise. The mature graphics went to Pikman/Luigis Mansion i bet.
I was thinking the same thing, even though Superstar Saga is a fundamentally different genre,it truly seems that every aspect of Super Mario 128 was broken up and utilized in other game. It kinda feels like it didn't matter if it never came out because it's prototypes resulted in the gimmicks of at least 3 other games.
While people in the comments joke about how Dunkey sounds like he's doing a skit or joking around, if you take a look at his reviews, videos on the industry, and even his old League stuff, the guy has always shown a true passion for what he's talking about. His videos have always been pretty engaging and jokes about knack and Bowser's Bean Burrito and beating Sky in Smash aside, I've always come away from them feeling like I learned something new, and this video was definitely no exception. Great work to everyone involved in this one, this is probably my favorite episode of DYKG yet.
I completely agree with you. I love his reviews on the 3D Super Mario games. He's got a very good way of elaborating his enjoyment for fun video games.
@@paperluigi6132 He’s very inconsistent on rpgs. Sometimes he finds them the most boring thing ever (they are), next he’s calling earthbound 8th best game of 2019 despite being released in 1994
Only in microanalyzing the way Dunkey speaks could we ever hope to be half as funny as he is! *cue young children gasping for breath after trying to go breathless for a whole script*
"Using only 60% of the N64's hardware power" makes me think of the myth "humans only use 10% of brain" I wonder what would've happened if Super Mario 64 used 100%...
This man has completely destroyed my ability to differentiate between irony and sincerity. I deliberate on every single sentence he says and wonder whether or not he’s being serious.
The first time you get a 1-Up in Mario Galaxy, it says “You earned one additional Mario!”, hinting at the multiple Marios of Mario 128. Couple that with the fact that both games revolve around a planetoid and it’s safe to say they knew what they were doing when they wrote that.
Dunkey doing serious narration feels weird considering he cracks jokes most of the time on his own channel, it's an interesting change of pace though ngl.
Good video. It's really interesting how the creative process can turn out. You may not release the project you thought you were, but you can recycle ideas into other projects to make something unexpected but enjoyable!
It feels so wrong to listen to Dunkey be serious. My brain is naturally assuming everything is is saying is sarcastic and false… but it’s all true. I love this!
Hearing Dunkey say something that isn't a joke or him laughing is surreal. It's like every line I'm expecting for the episode to derail and just spiral into insanity.
Game Theory here: So, did Nintendo purposely ripped apart Mario's 128 revolutionary design into a 20+ year plan to release bits of that design one at a time in different Mario games, to establish some stability in the future instead of letting go of all that masterpiece at once and fade away?
Kinda funny how the Mario & Luigi series kinda uses the concept of Mario and Luigi working together. Given that it was made by Alphadream, who knows if that was a coincidence or not :0
Each of the games it influenced still took years to develop. I think it’s more likely the project was just so ambitious it was hard to work on or that they had trouble making a cohesive vision out of all the ideas.
I love how near the end, the narrator is given the shameless plug for their channel. Not Dunkey “For more mario facts, click the video on the screen, bah bye”
