there's no iconic duo that overcome Kirby and Finger.
Finger in smash bros
The finger looks like a
popsicle. A popsicle. ;)
Piranha plant was a wasted slot for Smash Bros., it should have gone to finger.
Is that a chadtronic reference
@@Sonicboy71 Yep.
I actually remember that Club Penguin video! It wasn't about the Rainbow Puffle, but it was about getting a Beta Hat. I guess this guy made a series of videos like this, because it also said to get closer to the screen. He was using a robotic text to speech voice as well. The jumpscare was a loud scream and a picture of Jeff the Killer. I've never seen that picture before, so I literally jumped out of my chair. Of course, the video also had an Unregistered Hypercam 2 logo in the top left.
I'm sure the video you remember did exist, that sounds familiar too! I didn't go into detail with it in the video, but the jumpscare in the rainbow Puffle video was most likely a loud scream, can't remember, but I do remember the image on screen was of old, cracked dolls or something. It was a group of these old dilapidated dolls, I can clearly remember it. Most likely it's gone now though, as if 2008 me could find it but 2018 can't, and it was titled something so basic, I doubt I'd be able to find it again. Love stuff like this though, thanks for sharing!
What was the video called by the way

Did it have 2013 in the title?
If it did, i suffered the exact same fate.
@@PatMacYT I remember this one video that was call Club Penguin Hacks Working 2015, which oddly had that same loud scream with jeff the killer on it. I think that was the name of the video, but there could've been a series of them.
@Triggered Potato’s that was years ago, but I have not tried to look for it again. I'll try looking for it.
Can we get a half an hour smash bros ultimate commercial of every character fighting each other in the style of the smash 64 one Nintendo?
That would be awesome
Was just about to comment this exact same thing

Did KCL not do the Mario & Sonic Olympics commercials? Those used mascot costumes
I believe those were handled by SEGA themselves, not KCL. That’s why the newer ones used the modern Sonic costume we see everywhere. Now that you mention it, that’d make for a fun sequel video to this!
Holy crap hey toast!
@@PatMacYTYes, please do. This video was very fascinating and I'm sure there's more out there to review.
Holy Crap it's sonic toast
Yes
It would be nice to see costumes again. I'm sure if they did adverts with them, the costumes could be used again for some Nintendo Direct and Treehouse shenanigans or something. Also, they would have been great for a Super Mario Party advert, like seeing Goomba puzzled over how to do a minigame without arms or the like.
For some reason, the joke jumpscare jumpscared me.
it made me jolt a little bc i was kinda not paying attention :P
I shrugged
Yea
It gave me a heart attack
And it was
3:00 am 🤯
He got me too
When UA-cam algorithm finally recommends something good. Great video, I still remember many of these (Cartoon Network in Latin America was the one channel that always played them). A few details I picked here:
1. The Kirby commercial was filmed in Universal Studios Hollywood (you can tell from the tunnel crossroad, that now has the King Kong 360 attraction on the tour, and Courthouse Square that was featured in Back to the Future).
2. The Super Mario Strikers was POPULAR here in Latin America since all the region loves football like crazy and got airtime even in 2006 thanks to the World Cup in Germany.
PS. Yes that Smash commercial was key in asking for the game in summer of '99 back when I was 6 years old.
The part where Kirby walks across the “finger manhole” was filmed on Brownstone Street which has been used for several productions like Gone Girl, the “Smooth Criminal” music video, the 1982 Annie movie when she first meets her dog Sandy, and Bruce Almighty when Jim Carrey’s character takes the dog outside the house after it pees all over the inside.

Imagine a KCL commercial mimicking the original Smash commercial but then out of nowhere......
"Hey Plumber Boy Mustache Man, your Worst Nightmare has arrived"
You saw the Rainbow Puffle jumpscare too! Was it the one with the clown/zombie face at the end?
Literally gave me nightmares for 2 months when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade.
The guy who created it had many different videos with jump scares aimed at children. He kept making UA-cam channels and kept getting removed for violating the terms of service. I want to say his name was fmunk, but that's only from memory.
My parents took action to get the Rainbow Puffle video and channel taken down, so sorry, that's probably why you can't find it.
Thanks for bringing it up in the video though! It's sort of nice to know that I was not alone. I did not know the video was that popular. I haven't seen anyone else bring it up at all.
Posted this before I saw the comment about the cracked dolls. Did it start with one and then multiply, possibly reaching out their hands? I ran away from the screen as soon as the scream played, so I did not see most of it. I am pretty sure mine was a clown though, and it was definitely on Rainbow Puffles like the one you viewed. Could have likely been different video by the same user. That could be why titOH209 remembered a different but similar video as well.
@@Postaku I love getting comments like this, and yours has been the most comprehensive in regards to this Rainbow Puffle video. I only remember it being dolls, but clowns/zombies also make sense. I was pretty young at the time and like you ran away from it as soon as I could so I only saw it for a little bit. But I remember the set up was at the Town Center area with the coffee shop and whatnot, and it said to look closely inbetween one of the buildings for it to appear (similar to the White Puffle appearing at the Dojo way back when). I'm not sure if the video was super popular or if it was the case of me obsessively checking videos on the Rainbow Puffle haha. But it makes sense that we saw the same video considering that explains why it's gone now. That's so funny your parents took action on it, good on them!
ua-cam.com/video/Zwr9OFiACAo/v-deo.html was this the video? The jumpscare in the end isnt a doll
@@sourthecat Unfortunately nah
I miss when Nintendo did creative and surreal commercials, instead of just showing regular people playing their hardware.
i am surprised that when you said that you had bad memory's with the Super Mario Sunshine Commercial.
i knew the exact video you were talking about.
Somebody: Batman and Robin, Mario and Luigi, Sonic and Tails. I bet you can’t think of a duo more iconic than these classics
Me: what about Kirby and Finger?
I love the old school Nintendo commercials.
Maybe we can see these again for a Smash Ultimate commercial
I’m late, but here.
I remember that video. It was with dolls, if I’m sure. I used to play Club Penguin, and I watched it. I was scared for weeks. Thanks for not being the only one who watched the vid!!!
It’s so weird because I was just looking into these costumes the other day and wondered if you’d ever do a video on them.
Where did you get that Ninten profile picture?
I forgot about those Mario Sports Mix commercials! It’s genuinely one of my favorite Mario games, and it was really cool to see the commercials again. Also for some reason “Luigi, he’s got nothing to do” made me laugh
"Something has gone wrong in the happy-go-lucky world of Nintendo."
*You don't say.*
“I play Nintendo games for the commercials.”
11:39 Fun Fact: AVGN Did a Jumpscare! TWICE with their Polybius Episode on Halloween 2017.
Always a good day when PatMac uploads, even better a day when it involves KCL Productions. I used to see a few of these ads when I was younger, and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for these uncanny ads. Glad to see a video looking back on not only the ads themselves, but the production shots as well. You did a great job here!
Omg, when I was about 4 I would just go on my moms laptop all the time and go on UA-cam just to these adds over and over! This video was such a nostalgia trip!
"Trade you some wall paper for your ufo"
"You think I'm a chump? Try the raccoon"
that line delivery SLAYS me
For some strange reason, I'm now imagining a Death Battle between the nurse at 6:43 and the girl from the Luigi's Mansion commercial
I had forgotten about the Banjo one, but that was great. Glad I got to see it again!
As for the Kirby one, a lot of people used their finger instead of the stylus with the DS. The one that came with the system was small and got uncomfortable after a while. I'm sure plenty of people played the game with just their finger.
My bro when he was young he saw the zombie car jumpscare
Hes Will Never Forget It.
0:00 Wait, they have
*HOT BUTTERED POPCORN *
12:41 nice edit
I love this vid so much, I’m so happy you’re covering stuff like this. I don’t think there’s anybody else on UA-cam like ya
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that scary mario commercial video.
8:04 only god could have created that beauty
The scary Mario commercial also gave me bad memories. Glad you can relate.
God I remember all of these commercials. This shit was soooooooooo nostalgic seeing them again. They probably worked since I had all of these games.
I remember Scary Mario Commercial as a kid...
Btw, KCL also did a Mario Party 7 commercial
The video I didn’t even know I wanted
KCL is one of my favourite companies. Great video!
You legit brought back memory's of that scary Mario commercial video lmao thanks for reminding me
11:58 I love that Microsoft Paint quality drawing of the rainbow puffle.
Bruh peach better pay for my mans car
As far as I'm aware, we didn't get these adverts here in the UK
1:00 mario asserts his dominance
I love these commercials so much
Dam not only do you do history on plush and merchandise but on more variety well done Pat Mac keep it up
We also designed the PaRappa costume for the remastered commercial
12:42 PATMAC I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU lol
Melee Ultimate editing the scream with Mario scream will still scare people
AAAAAAAHHHHH
Glad he edited the scream
Love your videos. Just discovered a few of them and plan to watch many more on your channel. Subscribed. Thanks for the great content.
Dude I was really scared of that Mario Sunshine commercial too. I actually am really glad I have someone who can relate too.
12:41 WAAAAAAOOUUUUGHHHH!!!!
Surprised they didn’t use this voice clip yet for the electronic LEGO Mario
10:43 that video was released before i was even born. but yet i somehow managed to see it when i was around 6 or 7. and when i saw the starting of the ad in this video. my eyes widened as my smile faded to pure shock lol
Congrats, your video is on their home page now!
Man no joke those costumes are amazing
*he's a coco crazy*
*YOU WANT FUN? HE WILL SHOW YOU FUN*
3:13 The fact that I LOVE Sonic & SEGA all-stars racing to death makes this joke funnier.
Hey can you do a vid on the toywiz diddy kong racing figures (all 3 of them)
Toywiz? You mean ToyBiz?
God KCL productions is sure a legendary production
5:12 rob doing the thug shaker
Nintendo actually still uses costume characters for commercials as well as videos sometimes, they're just on their Play Nintendo UA-cam channel rather than on TV. One I really like is the one where Luigi runs the 2DS factory for a day.
I have this memory back from 2011 or 2012, I played this game called the Scary Maze Game. Some of you people might have already played the game back then. But when I played the game, *I was tramitized!* The menu was ok, Level 1 happened.. I made threw it. Then 2... I made it. But then, Level 3 happened, I think it was the finale. The maze went Fat-to-skinny. I got through the Very skinny part! I tried to get threw it but then I touched the wall. A huge close-up of Regen's face from The Exorcist with a very loud scream. A jump so hard, I was so scared that I cried so hard. Mom saw me and took away the computer for a week. I was still sleeping with mom by that time. So I was safe after that.
The animal crossing ones camera shots and crazy eyes makes me think of don’t hug me I’m scared also your zombie scared the heck out of me, even after seeing this video 4 times also what about the kids and bowser thing, you said we could see but we didn’t :(
There was this video about how to unlock Msster Hand in Brawl, and I was watching it, it was like a 20-minute video or something and right as it gets to the final step this bloody figure jumpscare pops up. It made me fall back in my chair when I was little
Hey Patmac! I'm a big fan of your channel! I have a suggestion. How about A Look Back at The Legend Of Zelda Ocerena Of Time Plush Set? I love the plush set because the design is simplified and chibi!
2:50
I remember seeing this commercial lots of times in Cartoon Network Latin America.
The Gamecube era had the best of the best when it came to commercials
Damit now I want KCL to return for any switch ads
Interesting that they also used “Happy Together” in the first Detective Pikachu trailer as well. I wonder if someone was aware of the SSB commercial.
That used to be my fav song when i was 4 or 5 XD
I remember watching so many of These on youtube
Mark my words I will make an inkling costume someday and go on a rampage through a city rolling people over with a roller
For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate KCL should make a commercial where a bunch of Nintendo heroes (Mario, Donkey Kong, etc.) are walking in an ally way and then they meet face to face there rivals (Bowser, K. Rool, etc.) then like the 1999 original, they duke it out while playing a licensed song like Micheal Jackson's Beat it or something.
YOOO I REMEMBER THAT CLUB PENGUIN VIDEO! I couldn't bring myself to play club penguin for weeks after watching it.
your videos are so great and well researched! i love these!
Great video as per usual! Almost too much nostalgia to handle in 24 minutes! :)
Also,
Video Suggestion: A look back the Toy Island Sonic Adventure Figures.
I know Toy Island is more well known for their Sonic X line, but the SA1 is pretty interesting, especial when the releases under the Sonic X brand are taken into account. It's also interesting because of some of the smaller bendy figures included.
Mario needs some milk
CuM oN MaRiO cUm oN MaRiO JUmP
I'd love a remake of the 64 commercial for Ultimate, imagine it, a reality show where all characters interact and talk with eachother, and suddenly, one, (most likely Mario, in honor to the old commercial) screws something up, and everyone starts fighting, the fight lasts 30 seconds and then Master Hand covers the camera as the "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES" logo appears, and then they tell you to buy Ultimate
damn the site died :(
Yeah it sucks at least it’s archived
Every costume is here!
I wish for the 3D all stars they used KCL
Wut about smth about puyo puyo
OvaSonicku Pls explain I am biggestest Puyo fan
I hear Puyo Players....I comment for future updates
*dammit I got a notification but turns out it’s a like oof*
Shigu shigu
considering there's real actual licensed puyo puyo toilet paper i think it would be interesting to make a video about puyo merch
I loved all of these.
Wario cause he's a cookoo crazy 😊
jumpscare videos are part of everybody's childhood
especially me..., i fell for a lot of dumb shit when i was a kid so you can tell i was that kid who was always getting scared and then getting banned from the computer because i couldn't sleep,
the first time it was a "REAL GHOST SPOTTED ON CAMERA", it was some dude walking around his house until he pans the camera up a little bit and boom jumpscare.
the next one is of course the #1 younger sibling/cousin spooker, the Scary Maze Game (i'm pretty sure you guys know how that goes).
and even recently i got jumpscared by the extreme crocodile dentist video (and this video -__-).
“ it’s got that summery feel, and mario _ascends_ ”
Poor soul: YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING, YOU NEED A PARACHUTE THATS A BACK PACK.
Banjo: gu-huh I’m gonna do what’s called a pro gamer move
once again a great video. you should've briefly touched on their other game commercials like crash bandicoot and parappa the rapper
Super mario sunshine KCL ad
Patmac - vietnam flashbacks
KCL actually just featured this video on their website
I remember that Car video. I was terrified of that for years lol
these commercials are amazing, too bad we probably wont see them again....
Let’s be real kcl makes the best mascot in the world
This was youtube for me back in 2008
The sad thing with these commercials we only got
Mario games
Animal crossing
Smash
Banjo
Kirby
And that’s it I wish we got more
I remember when I was younger, that Scary Mario Commercial scared me, that it made me fall out of my chair and collapse into the ground.
6:54 and mario galaxy begins
Finally found the origin of the "Well he's my bro, he's got nothing to do and he was up for it" meme
I seen the same video of The Scariest Mario Commercial, my brother and me got so Scared and we ran for my father when the screamer shows up.
i wanted to look at their production photos, but their website has been down for at least the last couple years. there's plenty of good images on the site, because they show up as blurry thumbnails on google, but you can't see the clear full images since the site isn't up.
Hey,
Mario's impression of Wario is pretty well done
This video was simply *Smashing*
THank you for sharing
Now I kinda wish that these types of commercials would come back to advertise new upcoming games
