@@2leftthumbs I think an achievement about having to click a bunch of boxes and being overall annoying could be a reference to the Stanley parable or the impossible quiz in fleeing the complex
Yeah. I am in the generation shortly after manually exposing/processing photos stopped being a thing, so I was imagining some lazers-in-Resident-Evil type nightmare frying...
3:48:25 He's not actually clipping into the ground, his body and the scooter handle are being grinded up by sliding along the ground. You can see Henry pick up the handle a bit to show that it's smaller now
3:48:16 You still missed it? Henry isn't clipping through anything, his legs and lower body get scraped off due to the speed he's going. You can tell, because when he lifts up the handle he still has, it remains the same size.
8:19 This fake out fail screen used the old fail sound used from the old flash version of Escaping The Prison, indicating that it is old and followed by the same current fail screen with the new fail sound. This is the only time where an old fail sound remained in the Henry Stickmin Collection.
2:52 "Open sesame" prooooobably isn't meant as a reference to anything, but it originates from One Thousand and One Nights. It's a magic phrase that opens a secret passageway.
I said the same, tho specifically from the Tale of Ali Baba, right? And also how old does something have to be and how much has a refrence to be used to not count as a refrence anymore and just becoming a general phrase?

2:32:07 Holy crisps, I didn’t actually think this would make it in. It’s an honor to be in a finding the references video, and thanks for including it! Awesome vid!
For me, the CCC is a complete nod to the SCP foundation, a (kinda) preventing chaotic and abnormal event by sometimes having to use nuclear weapons to get rid of their problems
The Y-Type move from 5:30:05 is a reference to Pokemon Sun and Moon and their Z-moves. Henry even does a little dance beforehand similar to the Z-moves and the music during it sounds exactly like Pokemon battle music.
2:54 "Open sesame" is originally from the tale of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, as the password to get into their secret vault, but it has definitely been repeated so often that it's just in the cultural zeitgeist at this point.
4:09:32 This may be a reference to the movie The Shawshank Redemption. At the end of the film, "Red", played by Morgan Freeman, is reunited with Andy, who has escaped from Shawshank Prison and started a new life as a beach hotel owner in Mexico. I think they called themselves free men. Great movie btw.
One thing you missed out: In the Free Man path, the option to use the laser that blows up earth instead of the toppats, the fail text reads: "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" . This wouldn't mean anything in particular to the average Joe, but this a real life application used on the M18 Claymore mine. Seen in many shooter games, it's meant to inform the user which way to put the claymore up.
1:27:10 You actually hit that right on the head there. During the victory segment of "The First Turnabout" where Larry is your client, Mia Fey mistakenly calls him Harry Buttz. And the snippet in the bio where they mention the clan making fun of his name is likely a spin on the saying "If Something Smells, It's Usually the Buttz" which the Ace Attorney series constantly reminds you was used during their Middle School years.
There is one possibly really deep one I just realized. In 31:20 as henry goes for the kill with the machine gun next to the tank with the German cross, the gun fails him. Exactly this, and with a very similar machine gun happened to the person who tried assassinating Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, and the job had to be finished with a granade.
3:11:34 That's interesting, because how I interpreted that one is a pretty obscure history fact. Broca's Aphasia is a neurological condition where a person can understand language but has trouble producing it, and one of the first recorded instances of this was a French patient who could only speak the word "ton". Could also explain the time travelling portion of his character profile
1:50:35 The Engineer in Team Fortress 2 uses one of two PDAs to build and destroy buildings, and the Spy's disguise kit is known internally as a PDA, although none of these look anything like the PDAs in-game, so the reference is tangential at best. 2:24:36 The description for "Kredit to team" reads "Watching credit make me STRONG!", likely a reference to Heavy's line of "Sandvich makes me STRONG!" in TF22. 2:28:11 Sal Mann is possibly a reference to Silas Mann, also known as the Horseless Headless Horsemann, a Scream Fortress (Halloween) boss in TF2, though this is a bit of a stretch.
Samuel Mundy’s bio begins with him “not being a crazed assassin”, which is a direct reference to a line from Meet the Sniper 1:27:53 the Bob Ross reference here also works because Bob Ross was himself a former Air Force drill instructor! 1:29:09 Also during the same ItA scene where Jacque LeTouche is shown, you can see Toppat versions of Ryu and Ken (or maybe with the hat it’s meant to be Terry Bogard as a slant reference to Capcom vs SNK?) in the background!
The “Hey Buddy” from fleeing the complex has a origin. Puffballs United knew someone who knew someone who talked like that. So Puff was doing an imitation of the imitation of the guy who talked like that. This was explained in the developer commentary
2:05:05 University of Trotska is probably a reference to the Republic of Arstotzka from Papers Please, you also recieve a somewhat similar looking plaque in Papers Please which you can hang on the wall of your post
Possible missed reference: When Reginald retreats to his private escape pod and struggles against the vacuum of space due to a broken window, the way he curses Henry kind of reminds me of the way Doofenshmirtz says "CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!" in Phineas and Ferb. I know a lot about Phineas and Ferb, so maybe it's just me who thinks of this possible reference.
4:49:04 jumping off and saluting is a Return of the Jedi reference. When Luke is forced to walk the plank by Jabba's men he salutes to signal R2 and jumps off catching the board then jumps up and catches is lightsaber. The specifics don't match but the execution sells the connection.
4:18:26 For some time, I thought the voice was a Zapp Brannigan reference. Turns out, after watching that dev stream, Puff confirms that THAT IS a Zapp Brannigan impersonation. I was so happy I recognized it.
I think the character's name at approx. 56:43 might also be a reference to The Simpsons. There's a running gag in the show where Bart prank calls Moe and asks about a person who's name sounds like a funny phrase (i.e. Hugh Jass, Oliver Klozof, etc.). And "Al Coholic" has actually been used for the gag once.
During the painting portal fail you missed one small reference. The gun Jaques uses to kill Henry is another small reference to goldeneye's golden gun killing any enemy in one shot.
The twins in 3:43:26 are a refrence to the 1979 movie about the viatnam war "Hair", because there last name is Bukowski, you can hear the general shout it after they start figthing, which i think is also a refrence to the song "Let the sun shine" the start of which is a general shouting the name Bukowski
For that Mass Effect conversation wheel reference, that part of the wheel is typically the "Investigate" button which gives you dialogue options that don't advance the dialogue tree which is why it isn't a plot-advancing option. (I'm not sure if this was unclear or just an oversight but I felt like it deserves mentioning.)
The reason why the prison in ETP is named Red Mesa in the bios but West Mesa in the game is because Puffballs United made the bios for the collection after making everything else so he forgot what the name was. Puff talked about that in the developer’s commentary on his UA-cam channel
40:48 I'm finally getting around to watching this video and noticed that "Somewhere in the Southwest" Could very likely be a reference to Madness Combat's "Somewhere in Nevada" phrase it opens with a lot
2:36:46 The hat may also be a reference to the Pixar short Presto, where a magician uses two magical interconnected hats for his act where he pulls a bunny out of one by sticking his hand through the other.
3:52:28 I'm fairly sure that the movement/animation that happens as Henry deflects the bullet is a reference to "Lethal League", a game where you keep hitting a ball to deflect it at the enemy players dodgeball style. The brief slow-mo/pause as the impact between the hammer and the bullet happens is especially similar to when you get a perfect hit in Lethal League.
@@LaNiFN yes, and it creates maybe the most hype moments in a match. They actually catch it, and everyone screams as the numbers go up. Best part of the game really
1:05:57 Around here you’re talking about the crit sound when the helicopter fires back after a missed missile. You missed the alarm sound that plays when your building is taking damage, or when your sentry is low on metal to keep firing, that could play when you’re the engineer class. Edit: I’ll note any missed references that I notice that you didn’t take note of.
11:23 I think the two last ones should be swapped. "Be Efficient" has more to do with the "Shoot to Kill" part, and "Be Creative" has more to do with "Have a Plan to Kill Everyone You Meet."
1:26 I’m glad breaking the bank is a prologue cuz there is only 1 pack of choices then your finished, maybe they could of made the inside of the bank bigger and better so u have to do more packs of choices but ok!
Fun Fact: in the Build fail in Completing the Mission, the Steak that Henry drops is the only entity in all of Henry Stickmin to still be moving in the Fail Screen! You can see it clearly still rotating! It’s probably a glitch, but it’s still in the latest version of Completing the Mission to this day! 2:48:03
In Wombo Combo, Henry and Ellie are using other Captain Falcon moves in the sequence. As follows... Henry dashes forward, then grabs RHM. Ellie dashes away and back forward, setting up momentum to perform a jump forward at full speed. This leads into an Up-Throw, which Ellie combos off of with a Down-Air, launching RHM back down to Henry. Henry follows up Ellie's Down-Air with a turnaround Up-Air, sending RHM over to where Ellie ends up after her Down-Air, which allows her to use a well-spaced Back-Air to knock RHM back to the center and towards Henry. Henry does his own Down-Air, bringing RHM down again while Ellie lands from her Back-Air, wavedashes towards Henry, and jumps in, landing with no move to stay stationary for the finale of the combo. Henry lands from his Down-Air and wavedashes away, then does a B-Reverse Neutral-Special as Ellie does her own Neutral-Special, finishing with a climactic double Stickmin PAWNCH! to delete RHM from existence. There's your over-explained Smash Bros scene.
4:05:13 My first thought was that the stretchy arm might be a reference to Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, known for his stretching abilities and absolutely slinging people around like that. Don’t know if there is a specific moment from One Piece though.
3:52:52 That is also a pose and overall sound and timing referencing "Lethal League", which is a game where characters play dodgeball by striking a dodgeball with weapons until it reaches supersonic speeds.
4:30:04 narwini and erectus actually comes from age of mythology, wich is very similar to age of empires, but with mythological creaturs. And the greek workers say narwini and erectus when ordered to do tasks
The Gravity inverter at 5:04:24 I HEAVILY believe is a Mega Man reference. In Mega Man 5 you fight Gravity Man, who of course is able to Flip Gravity at will. The coloration of the Gravity inverter is what sells it to me, as they are almost a direct match to Gravity Man's own pinkish red + blue coloration.
So, what I caught. 0:56:35 Despite this being a metal tube, the trap is similar to an obscure little PSX title called Heart of Darkness, where the lightning trap was simply in an underground tunnel and you had to time your crossing. 5:11:43 "Big Boy" might be an effort not to name the "Mammoth Tank" from Red Alert (an RTS) and one of the strongest units in said game. Probably not what PB meant in either case, but you did ask so....
2:02:53 If the dialogue was translated directly into german instead of just saying random words, it'd say this: 'Warum haben wir hier überhaupt so viele Kisten? He! Stopp!" But I can understand using random german words because the direct translation is much longer to say.
you know, something about watching a nearly 6 hour video to the end hits differently. Thank you for doing this video, the Henry Stickmin games were a big part of my childhood and I can appreciate them even better now that I know all these references
The Butterfingers reference ( 1:05:10 ) isn't a direct reference to Spiderman 2 but rather a reference to a UA-cam Poop called "Spider-Man: Revenge Of The Mad Madman", and that's where the twirling Butterfinger animation comes from
1:09:30 The teddy could also be from mr bean, which would give it more of a reason to be in a safe because the series has highlighted on multiple occasions how important the teddy is to him and that he would do nearly anything to keep it safe.
I think 3:52:40 is also a possible reference to Lethal League. A game where two players bat a ball around in a room with to attack each other with the ball getting faster and harder to hit. At some point hitting it while it goes at top speed will have a similar impact style as shown in the game.
17:37 fun fact; that fact was something puffballs actually got wrong at the time, and he simply spun it as a joke afterwards. He says as much in a livestream he did about the series.
5:09:23 I’m pretty sure the cupcake icon is sort of a default icon in BoTW for cooked meals if the game can’t load the proper icon. It was either that or an ice cream conr
2:42:35 The art pieces may not seem so recognizable at first, but one of the paintings that I did recognize was the waterfall. Since the waterfall can refer to the "Kerepakupai vená", better known as the "Angel Falls", known as the largest waterfall in the world located in the "Canaima" national park in the Bolívar State, in Venezuela. If you look for some images and compare them with the picture you will see the similarities.
I’d like to mention that there’s another judge in the Ace Attorney Series (not counting spin-offs) It’s literally the main one’s younger brother. They look almost the same, the younger brother just has a blonde beard.
@@oscarcacnio8418 He appears again in the first day of trials in Bridge to the Turnabout, which takes place long after the judge's brother is introduced. Furthermore, the main judge comes back the next day and says point blank his younger brother covered the first day for him while he was sick.
3:52:38 I think this is also a reference to a game called Lethal League where you whack a softball (actually a hard metallic antigrav ball) to a supersonic speed, and after a certain speed every hit to the ball freezes you in place with more outlandish effects the faster the ball is
3:52:42 this may also be a reference to "lethal league" Henry even takes similar pose to characters in the game when they take a swing at the ball. The charge up sound before the bullet is launched back also sounds similar to the charge sound from lethal league when you hit the ball when its going at high speeds
The steam release was a triumph. I am very impressed with the insane quality of the games that I played as a kid. Though trying to click on every character was painful.
The reward from finding all of the among us crewmates is called "everyone is here"wich must be a reference to the iconic everyone is here trailer from smash ultimate, showing all of the characters from previous games return.
3:36:00 Yeah, sure, I guess, but this is SPECIFICALLY a reference to GTA San Andreas and how there's many wall clipping bugs that would let you go through the map, for example the gym in Ganton. Even the falling animation on Henry is EXACTLY the same as in the game. And the world above looks EXACTLY like it does here.
you missed one on the time stamp 3:42:35 because an among us visor cosmetic is named angery with it being just anger eye brows that look very simular to the eye brows on the character. But I think this one came after though.
Seeing all the references I helped find for this series is so cool! Love your content, man. I love how involved with your community you are, it's so much better than most other youtubers.
i'm glad you pointed out that every single time henry says a word everyone collectively forgets all the previous times and are like "OOOOO THAT'S THE FIRST TIME HE'S SAID ANYTHING OOOOO"
2:07:18 So there’s actually a very slight error in this fail! In Advanced Wars, Tanks and their variations cannot fire on foot soldiers with shells, they have to use the mounted machine guns.
3:42:02 might actually be a reference to Enter the Gungeon's RC rocket, which itself is a reference to the Nikita remote controlled missile launcher from Metal Gear Solid
3:48:20 i dont think he's clipping, i think he's getting shredded like rubbing cheese on a cheese grater, seeing how the noise sounds rough, and also the fact that he picks up the remains of the scooter after stopping.
I wonder if the complexity (involving 3 different routes) of getting the bigol sword is a reference to how many steps there are to get it in the original Zelda game. Also the red flash at 3:27:12 is most likely referencing sniper elite. Also also the character Bartolomeo 4:42:30 is, I think, a reference to Bartholomew from the Dr. Seuss book 'The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins' because there are many, MANY Toppats
56:17 could be also a reference to how left side middle option usually doesn't do anything other than give some extra dialogue and loops back to the same choice wheel.
5:22:58 Maybe Henry's augmentations are a reference to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, because the cyborgs hold electrolytes inside of their spines and left hands, the same places where Henry was augmented
In infiltrating the air ship the "I don't need your help" might be a reference to TF2 where if a medic heals a demoman instead of saying "thanks" or "thank you" like the other classes demoman straight up says "I didn't need your help ya know"
3:32:24 * hey, thanks for the shoutout. * i had to borrow some money from papyrus to pay for my appearance in this game. * and by borrow some money, i mean that i borrowed exactly 1G to appear only briefly.
53:50: Charles HUD on the helicopter is either a Syphon Filer (for the PS1) reference when aiming in first person (since its a green background, that means that night vision is on) or it is a pssible refrence to the UFO shooter Incoming for both Arcade and Dreamcast.
The Earthbound and Final Fantasy-style fights in the chase route of Infiltrating the Airship and the Undertale-style fight in the RBH + PD route of Completing the Mission all share an interesting trait in that the “items” option is the correct one in all three.
1:00:11 This is another Donkey Kong 64 reference. Donkey Kong could get into an Animal Crate in the Jungle Japes level and turn into Rambi the Rhino, giving him the ability to, among other things, break through barriers (albeit barriers with his face on it). 1:50:36 Possible S.T.A.L.K.E.R. reference. PDAs were still very much in use in the Zone, as Shadow of Chernobyl was released before smartphones existed and PDAs were still in use. 1:51:12 Possible Fallout 4 reference. The 10lb Weight is, while quite heavy, a fair source of Lead, useful in items and upgrades that increase Radiation Resistance. Otherwise, yes, it’s a junk/clutter item.
I will edit this later if there will be any other references you have recognized, but so far this is what I've seen: - 2:42:35 - the Gems are a reference to the now gone flash game Fire boy and Water girl where you can earn diamonds of different colours depending on how fast you have completed the level and whether you took the white diamond from the room. - 2:57:14 - Triple Threat could be a reference to the Wrestling type of match called Triple Threat which is a 1v1v1 style match. Although in this would more ideally be a gauntlet type since a single wrestler (in this case could be the Toppats?) has to deal with at least 3 different opponents: Henry, Charles & Elly. - 3:53:05 - It is from the Call of Duty call back, however the reference might be to the memes from 2011 all bout the MLG pro montages and similar things happening - 4:04:12 - While the sword is a reference from the FF7, I am not completely sure, but maybe that 'big boy sword - for big boys only' fail text could be a line taken from DankPods when he went to a Cash Converters in a video and found a giant ChainSaw. - 4:29:10 - That 42 level can also be a reference to the answer to the universe according to computers? Idk anything about the Level 28 though. That doesn't ring any bells. Wide stretch but maybe he had done it in February and references the short time of the month. (Really wide stretch imo).
The construction girder at 3:34:06 is likely one from the Donkey Kong arcade game, and the log in the vault at 3:35:20 is an item icon from Animal Crossing.
Idk how many other people have pointed this out already, but I think "Somewhere In The Southwest" in Chapter 2 is meant to be a Madness Combat reference, specifically the iconic line "Somewhere In Nevada." I looked it up, and Nevada is technically part of the Southwestern US. EDIT: I think the "Intruder On A Scooter" line is meant to be a reference to a meme format I've seen that always starts with "You've heard of Elf On A Shelf, now get ready for..." EDIT2: "Johnny Panzer" could be a layered joke referencing John Captain from the Tankmen series.
@2:47 You also forgot to mention the fact that while Henry is building a bridge with the Minecraft Dirt Block, you can hear the minecraft music in the background
2:53:39 fun fact about Hat Kid: her "smug dance" is actually a reference to animal crossing, where you can see a simmilar dance with the text "nobody's around to help", so yet again a reference to a reference!
5:23:04 Mona Lisa Overdrive (song) was named after the book by William Gibson, it is also the third installment of the sprawl trilogy, which began with Neuromancer
1:05:57 the beep sound effect in the flash version is the TF2 "your building is damaged" sound when you're playing engineer also, the toppat dude's golden gun appears to be a Desert Eagle, which is used in a few games as the golden gun so they dont need more models or animations, just a retexture the plunger boots in the flash version use the worms walking sound when attempting to take a step the grid view is specifically advance wars because it uses the mechanic where roads allow you to move further, so thats why henry takes a detour when fighting the boxer instead of running through the snow, which also slows you down in Advance Wars

For me, the CCC is a complete nod to the SCP foundation, a (kinda) preventing chaotic and abnormal event by sometimes having to use nuclear weapons to get rid of their problems
At 5:35:40 i recognized dr glass as the scp foundations head of psychology.
The CCC's actions seem to be more in line with the Global Occult Coalition if I'm being honest, but I definitely see the similarities.
The ccc imo is a dragon ball reference to the cc especially based on the logos of the two
Puff has said in his developer commentary that he was unaware of SCP
The Y-Type move from 5:30:05 is a reference to Pokemon Sun and Moon and their Z-moves. Henry even does a little dance beforehand similar to the Z-moves and the music during it sounds exactly like Pokemon battle music.

You actually hit that right on the head there. During the victory segment of "The First Turnabout" where Larry is your client, Mia Fey mistakenly calls him Harry Buttz.
And the snippet in the bio where they mention the clan making fun of his name is likely a spin on the saying "If Something Smells, It's Usually the Buttz" which the Ace Attorney series constantly reminds you was used during their Middle School years.
There is one possibly really deep one I just realized. In 31:20 as henry goes for the kill with the machine gun next to the tank with the German cross, the gun fails him. Exactly this, and with a very similar machine gun happened to the person who tried assassinating Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, and the job had to be finished with a granade.
Hendrix is a guy from starship troopers
3:11:34 That's interesting, because how I interpreted that one is a pretty obscure history fact. Broca's Aphasia is a neurological condition where a person can understand language but has trouble producing it, and one of the first recorded instances of this was a French patient who could only speak the word "ton". Could also explain the time travelling portion of his character profile
1:50:35 The Engineer in Team Fortress 2 uses one of two PDAs to build and destroy buildings, and the Spy's disguise kit is known internally as a PDA, although none of these look anything like the PDAs in-game, so the reference is tangential at best.
2:24:36 The description for "Kredit to team" reads "Watching credit make me STRONG!", likely a reference to Heavy's line of "Sandvich makes me STRONG!" in TF22.
2:28:11 Sal Mann is possibly a reference to Silas Mann, also known as the Horseless Headless Horsemann, a Scream Fortress (Halloween) boss in TF2, though this is a bit of a stretch.
If you're playing Engie properly, he doesn't need the PDAs.
But that's not funny.
It might be the PDA from terraria. it does look like it but also i guess all pdas look like that.
Sal Mann could also just be a reference to the fish
Engineer gaming
Samuel Mundy’s bio begins with him “not being a crazed assassin”, which is a direct reference to a line from Meet the Sniper
1:27:53 the Bob Ross reference here also works because Bob Ross was himself a former Air Force drill instructor!
1:29:09 Also during the same ItA scene where Jacque LeTouche is shown, you can see Toppat versions of Ryu and Ken (or maybe with the hat it’s meant to be Terry Bogard as a slant reference to Capcom vs SNK?) in the background!
The “Hey Buddy” from fleeing the complex has a origin. Puffballs United knew someone who knew someone who talked like that. So Puff was doing an imitation of the imitation of the guy who talked like that.
This was explained in the developer commentary
2:05:05 University of Trotska is probably a reference to the Republic of Arstotzka from Papers Please, you also recieve a somewhat similar looking plaque in Papers Please which you can hang on the wall of your post
Possible missed reference: When Reginald retreats to his private escape pod and struggles against the vacuum of space due to a broken window, the way he curses Henry kind of reminds me of the way Doofenshmirtz says "CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!" in Phineas and Ferb. I know a lot about Phineas and Ferb, so maybe it's just me who thinks of this possible reference.
You missed the reference of Henry being less detailed because in Among Us he is a less detailed as a pet.
What about “Door’s Stuck” at 53:00
@@YoloYester94door is stukck!!!! DOOR IS STUCK ☹️☹️☹️
he missed the fact he missed nothing
4:49:04 jumping off and saluting is a Return of the Jedi reference. When Luke is forced to walk the plank by Jabba's men he salutes to signal R2 and jumps off catching the board then jumps up and catches is lightsaber. The specifics don't match but the execution sells the connection.
4:18:26
For some time, I thought the voice was a Zapp Brannigan reference. Turns out, after watching that dev stream, Puff confirms that THAT IS a Zapp Brannigan impersonation. I was so happy I recognized it.
I think the character's name at approx. 56:43 might also be a reference to The Simpsons. There's a running gag in the show where Bart prank calls Moe and asks about a person who's name sounds like a funny phrase (i.e. Hugh Jass, Oliver Klozof, etc.). And "Al Coholic" has actually been used for the gag once.
Your reaching
mr i. p. freely
“Is there an Al Coholic in this bar? I dont know if there is an Al Coholic here?”
During the painting portal fail you missed one small reference. The gun Jaques uses to kill Henry is another small reference to goldeneye's golden gun killing any enemy in one shot.
The twins in 3:43:26 are a refrence to the 1979 movie about the viatnam war "Hair", because there last name is Bukowski, you can hear the general shout it after they start figthing, which i think is also a refrence to the song "Let the sun shine" the start of which is a general shouting the name Bukowski
For that Mass Effect conversation wheel reference, that part of the wheel is typically the "Investigate" button which gives you dialogue options that don't advance the dialogue tree which is why it isn't a plot-advancing option. (I'm not sure if this was unclear or just an oversight but I felt like it deserves mentioning.)
The reason why the prison in ETP is named Red Mesa in the bios but West Mesa in the game is because Puffballs United made the bios for the collection after making everything else so he forgot what the name was. Puff talked about that in the developer’s commentary on his UA-cam channel
I thought so
40:48 I'm finally getting around to watching this video and noticed that "Somewhere in the Southwest" Could very likely be a reference to Madness Combat's "Somewhere in Nevada" phrase it opens with a lot
At around 4:35:13 the transition from the clip to the gameplay is awesome and I feel it should be appreciated more haha
2:36:46 The hat may also be a reference to the Pixar short Presto, where a magician uses two magical interconnected hats for his act where he pulls a bunny out of one by sticking his hand through the other.
The downloaded car is a reference to an old anti-pirating ad that mentioned that ‘you wouldn’t download a car’ and that got a massive cackle out of me
I would absolutely download a car
He says that (1:12:37)
3:52:28 I'm fairly sure that the movement/animation that happens as Henry deflects the bullet is a reference to "Lethal League", a game where you keep hitting a ball to deflect it at the enemy players dodgeball style. The brief slow-mo/pause as the impact between the hammer and the bullet happens is especially similar to when you get a perfect hit in Lethal League.
The pause on hitting the ball in those games is to give player time to react and it happens based on the speed but yes 100% this
@@LaNiFN yes, and it creates maybe the most hype moments in a match. They actually catch it, and everyone screams as the numbers go up. Best part of the game really
I had the exact same thought
1:05:57 Around here you’re talking about the crit sound when the helicopter fires back after a missed missile. You missed the alarm sound that plays when your building is taking damage, or when your sentry is low on metal to keep firing, that could play when you’re the engineer class.
Edit: I’ll note any missed references that I notice that you didn’t take note of.
2:46:20 The anti-air gun looks shockingly similar to aa guns in Just Cause 2. With the exact coloring in red, and them destroying it.
11:23 I think the two last ones should be swapped. "Be Efficient" has more to do with the "Shoot to Kill" part, and "Be Creative" has more to do with "Have a Plan to Kill Everyone You Meet."
1:06:00 not only is there the criteria sound effect but there is also the sound that plays when a sentry is low hp that plays while the airship falls
1:26 I’m glad breaking the bank is a prologue cuz there is only 1 pack of choices then your finished, maybe they could of made the inside of the bank bigger and better so u have to do more packs of choices but ok!
Fun Fact: in the Build fail in Completing the Mission, the Steak that Henry drops is the only entity in all of Henry Stickmin to still be moving in the Fail Screen! You can see it clearly still rotating! It’s probably a glitch, but it’s still in the latest version of Completing the Mission to this day! 2:48:03
3:50:23 I love how the fail screen background shows the door opened while Henry remains stuck face first in the air. Lag really does suck.
In Wombo Combo, Henry and Ellie are using other Captain Falcon moves in the sequence. As follows...
Henry dashes forward, then grabs RHM. Ellie dashes away and back forward, setting up momentum to perform a jump forward at full speed.
This leads into an Up-Throw, which Ellie combos off of with a Down-Air, launching RHM back down to Henry.
Henry follows up Ellie's Down-Air with a turnaround Up-Air, sending RHM over to where Ellie ends up after her Down-Air, which allows her to use a well-spaced Back-Air to knock RHM back to the center and towards Henry.
Henry does his own Down-Air, bringing RHM down again while Ellie lands from her Back-Air, wavedashes towards Henry, and jumps in, landing with no move to stay stationary for the finale of the combo.
Henry lands from his Down-Air and wavedashes away, then does a B-Reverse Neutral-Special as Ellie does her own Neutral-Special, finishing with a climactic double Stickmin PAWNCH! to delete RHM from existence.
There's your over-explained Smash Bros scene.
4:05:13 My first thought was that the stretchy arm might be a reference to Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, known for his stretching abilities and absolutely slinging people around like that. Don’t know if there is a specific moment from One Piece though.
3:52:52 That is also a pose and overall sound and timing referencing "Lethal League", which is a game where characters play dodgeball by striking a dodgeball with weapons until it reaches supersonic speeds.
YES!
4:30:04 narwini and erectus actually comes from age of mythology, wich is very similar to age of empires, but with mythological creaturs.
And the greek workers say narwini and erectus when ordered to do tasks
The Gravity inverter at 5:04:24 I HEAVILY believe is a Mega Man reference.
In Mega Man 5 you fight Gravity Man, who of course is able to Flip Gravity at will.
The coloration of the Gravity inverter is what sells it to me, as they are almost a direct match to Gravity Man's own pinkish red + blue coloration.
So, what I caught.
0:56:35 Despite this being a metal tube, the trap is similar to an obscure little PSX title called Heart of Darkness, where the lightning trap was simply in an underground tunnel and you had to time your crossing.
5:11:43 "Big Boy" might be an effort not to name the "Mammoth Tank" from Red Alert (an RTS) and one of the strongest units in said game.
Probably not what PB meant in either case, but you did ask so....
2:02:53 If the dialogue was translated directly into german instead of just saying random words, it'd say this: 'Warum haben wir hier überhaupt so viele Kisten? He! Stopp!"
But I can understand using random german words because the direct translation is much longer to say.
you know, something about watching a nearly 6 hour video to the end hits differently. Thank you for doing this video, the Henry Stickmin games were a big part of my childhood and I can appreciate them even better now that I know all these references
The Butterfingers reference ( 1:05:10 ) isn't a direct reference to Spiderman 2 but rather a reference to a UA-cam Poop called "Spider-Man: Revenge Of The Mad Madman", and that's where the twirling Butterfinger animation comes from
1:09:30 The teddy could also be from mr bean, which would give it more of a reason to be in a safe because the series has highlighted on multiple occasions how important the teddy is to him and that he would do nearly anything to keep it safe.
I think 3:52:40 is also a possible reference to Lethal League. A game where two players bat a ball around in a room with to attack each other with the ball getting faster and harder to hit. At some point hitting it while it goes at top speed will have a similar impact style as shown in the game.
Them timestamps be looking goofy
YES!
That's been a trope before lethal league, there was a back and forth with ganondorf in ocarina of time, and I'm sure it has happened before.
17:37 fun fact; that fact was something puffballs actually got wrong at the time, and he simply spun it as a joke afterwards. He says as much in a livestream he did about the series.
5:09:23
I’m pretty sure the cupcake icon is sort of a default icon in BoTW for cooked meals if the game can’t load the proper icon. It was either that or an ice cream conr
2:42:35
The art pieces may not seem so recognizable at first, but one of the paintings that I did recognize was the waterfall. Since the waterfall can refer to the "Kerepakupai vená", better known as the "Angel Falls", known as the largest waterfall in the world located in the "Canaima" national park in the Bolívar State, in Venezuela. If you look for some images and compare them with the picture you will see the similarities.
I’d like to mention that there’s another judge in the Ace Attorney Series (not counting spin-offs)
It’s literally the main one’s younger brother. They look almost the same, the younger brother just has a blonde beard.
I thought it was just the main one, but younger.
This is of course if you only consider the original trilogy, as game 6 did have a new judge for Khura'in.
@@oscarcacnio8418 He appears again in the first day of trials in Bridge to the Turnabout, which takes place long after the judge's brother is introduced. Furthermore, the main judge comes back the next day and says point blank his younger brother covered the first day for him while he was sick.
2:42:56
I am almost certain that those jewels are a reference to the Fireboy & Watergirl flash games.
3:52:38 I think this is also a reference to a game called Lethal League where you whack a softball (actually a hard metallic antigrav ball) to a supersonic speed, and after a certain speed every hit to the ball freezes you in place with more outlandish effects the faster the ball is
This is why I want The Henry Stickmin Collection to be a school subject
3:52:42 this may also be a reference to "lethal league"
Henry even takes similar pose to characters in the game when they take a swing at the ball. The charge up sound before the bullet is launched back also sounds similar to the charge sound from lethal league when you hit the ball when its going at high speeds
The steam release was a triumph. I am very impressed with the insane quality of the games that I played as a kid.
Though trying to click on every character was painful.
2:23 Henry digging and getting hit by a train should be a fail in completing the mission, like crossing the pit made a cameo in completing the mission
The reward from finding all of the among us crewmates is called "everyone is here"wich must be a reference to the iconic everyone is here trailer from smash ultimate, showing all of the characters from previous games return.
3:36:00 Yeah, sure, I guess, but this is SPECIFICALLY a reference to GTA San Andreas and how there's many wall clipping bugs that would let you go through the map, for example the gym in Ganton. Even the falling animation on Henry is EXACTLY the same as in the game. And the world above looks EXACTLY like it does here.
you missed one on the time stamp 3:42:35 because an among us visor cosmetic is named angery with it being just anger eye brows that look very simular to the eye brows on the character. But I think this one came after though.
1:18:27 Mundy also reaches over his shoulder to his back, just like the special backstabbing animation, although this might be a stretch
Seeing all the references I helped find for this series is so cool! Love your content, man. I love how involved with your community you are, it's so much better than most other youtubers.
The swinging beam at 3:43:12 is one from Super Mario Odyssey and is swaping next to the town hall in New Donk City
i'm glad you pointed out that every single time henry says a word everyone collectively forgets all the previous times and are like "OOOOO THAT'S THE FIRST TIME HE'S SAID ANYTHING OOOOO"
2:07:18 So there’s actually a very slight error in this fail! In Advanced Wars, Tanks and their variations cannot fire on foot soldiers with shells, they have to use the mounted machine guns.
1:05:18 Butterfingers.
3:42:02 might actually be a reference to Enter the Gungeon's RC rocket, which itself is a reference to the Nikita remote controlled missile launcher from Metal Gear Solid
was going to say it looks like snake's side special from smash
@@hmast5370 was gonna say the same thing
4:13:18
It’s specifically Partners in Time’s version of the Shell Bounce. Henry and Ellie even do Mario & Luigi’s idle poses in battle when solo!
3:48:20 i dont think he's clipping, i think he's getting shredded like rubbing cheese on a cheese grater, seeing how the noise sounds rough, and also the fact that he picks up the remains of the scooter after stopping.
3:08:05 I actually played THSC before RE6, so when I saw Chris’ ending for the first time I literally said “Piers just pulled a Valiant Hero on me”
I wonder if the complexity (involving 3 different routes) of getting the bigol sword is a reference to how many steps there are to get it in the original Zelda game.
Also the red flash at 3:27:12 is most likely referencing sniper elite.
Also also the character Bartolomeo 4:42:30 is, I think, a reference to Bartholomew from the Dr. Seuss book 'The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins' because there are many, MANY Toppats
56:17 could be also a reference to how left side middle option usually doesn't do anything other than give some extra dialogue and loops back to the same choice wheel.
5:22:58 Maybe Henry's augmentations are a reference to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, because the cyborgs hold electrolytes inside of their spines and left hands, the same places where Henry was augmented
In infiltrating the air ship the "I don't need your help" might be a reference to TF2 where if a medic heals a demoman instead of saying "thanks" or "thank you" like the other classes demoman straight up says "I didn't need your help ya know"
3:32:24
* hey, thanks for the shoutout.
* i had to borrow some money from papyrus to pay for my appearance in this game.
* and by borrow some money, i mean that i borrowed exactly 1G to appear only briefly.
53:50: Charles HUD on the helicopter is either a Syphon Filer (for the PS1) reference when aiming in first person (since its a green background, that means that night vision is on) or it is a pssible refrence to the UFO shooter Incoming for both Arcade and Dreamcast.
I’m quite surprised that puff hasn’t ported this to mobile yet, considering the success of the original versions and amogus.
The Earthbound and Final Fantasy-style fights in the chase route of Infiltrating the Airship and the Undertale-style fight in the RBH + PD route of Completing the Mission all share an interesting trait in that the “items” option is the correct one in all three.
Probably because that's Henry's specialty.
1:00:11 This is another Donkey Kong 64 reference. Donkey Kong could get into an Animal Crate in the Jungle Japes level and turn into Rambi the Rhino, giving him the ability to, among other things, break through barriers (albeit barriers with his face on it).
1:50:36 Possible S.T.A.L.K.E.R. reference. PDAs were still very much in use in the Zone, as Shadow of Chernobyl was released before smartphones existed and PDAs were still in use.
1:51:12 Possible Fallout 4 reference. The 10lb Weight is, while quite heavy, a fair source of Lead, useful in items and upgrades that increase Radiation Resistance. Otherwise, yes, it’s a junk/clutter item.
I think the description of joseph jo ( 49:33 ) in stealing the diamond also has a reference to the speech given by Kira in part 4 of jojo
Yes! Thanks for what is truly ALL the Henry Stickmin references. This is the most comprehensive video covering this that I've seen to date.
I will edit this later if there will be any other references you have recognized, but so far this is what I've seen:
- 2:42:35 - the Gems are a reference to the now gone flash game Fire boy and Water girl where you can earn diamonds of different colours depending on how fast you have completed the level and whether you took the white diamond from the room.
- 2:57:14 - Triple Threat could be a reference to the Wrestling type of match called Triple Threat which is a 1v1v1 style match. Although in this would more ideally be a gauntlet type since a single wrestler (in this case could be the Toppats?) has to deal with at least 3 different opponents: Henry, Charles & Elly.
- 3:53:05 - It is from the Call of Duty call back, however the reference might be to the memes from 2011 all bout the MLG pro montages and similar things happening
- 4:04:12 - While the sword is a reference from the FF7, I am not completely sure, but maybe that 'big boy sword - for big boys only' fail text could be a line taken from DankPods when he went to a Cash Converters in a video and found a giant ChainSaw.
- 4:29:10 - That 42 level can also be a reference to the answer to the universe according to computers? Idk anything about the Level 28 though. That doesn't ring any bells. Wide stretch but maybe he had done it in February and references the short time of the month. (Really wide stretch imo).
The construction girder at 3:34:06 is likely one from the Donkey Kong arcade game, and the log in the vault at 3:35:20 is an item icon from Animal Crossing.
I would have thought the log was from Naruto, but animal crossing makes more sense
Idk how many other people have pointed this out already, but I think "Somewhere In The Southwest" in Chapter 2 is meant to be a Madness Combat reference, specifically the iconic line "Somewhere In Nevada." I looked it up, and Nevada is technically part of the Southwestern US.
EDIT: I think the "Intruder On A Scooter" line is meant to be a reference to a meme format I've seen that always starts with "You've heard of Elf On A Shelf, now get ready for..."
EDIT2: "Johnny Panzer" could be a layered joke referencing John Captain from the Tankmen series.
@2:47 You also forgot to mention the fact that while Henry is building a bridge with the Minecraft Dirt Block, you can hear the minecraft music in the background
2:53:39 fun fact about Hat Kid: her "smug dance" is actually a reference to animal crossing, where you can see a simmilar dance with the text "nobody's around to help", so yet again a reference to a reference!
3:36:08 the fail screen says "It's hard to move the pull off" instead of "It's hard to pull the move off"
1:21:49 could be a reference to DRG (Deep Rock Galactic) where Karl is a commonly mentioned character in quotes from the dwarves. Rock And Stone
Nothing is better than a 5 hour video with a guy talking about interesting topics
5:23:04 Mona Lisa Overdrive (song) was named after the book by William Gibson, it is also the third installment of the sprawl trilogy, which began with Neuromancer
1:05:57 the beep sound effect in the flash version is the TF2 "your building is damaged" sound when you're playing engineer
also, the toppat dude's golden gun appears to be a Desert Eagle, which is used in a few games as the golden gun so they dont need more models or animations, just a retexture
the plunger boots in the flash version use the worms walking sound when attempting to take a step
the grid view is specifically advance wars because it uses the mechanic where roads allow you to move further, so thats why henry takes a detour when fighting the boxer instead of running through the snow, which also slows you down in Advance Wars
