I enjoy the "Clone" videos! :-) The Commodore 64 was the first "gaming system" in my household when I was growing up. I played a lot of games on it when I was very young. Even after we got the NES when it came out, I still played the C64 quite a bit. My dad even moved it into my bedroom after he got his Amiga. I had Giana Sisters, though the version I had was a re-skinned version where they replaced the Giana sprite with a Mario sprite. I had no idea that was the case as a kid. I legitimately thought it was just the C64 version of Super Mario Bros, and I loved it! It wasn't until much later in life I found out that it was actually called The Great Giana Sisters. The music from that game still pops into my head from time to time, and I think about sitting at the C64 playing what I thought was a legit Mario game as a kid. :-D Great video man!
I just found your channel the other day. Been binge watching a bunch of your stuff (it's all pretty great so far), I got to say I am impressed with how you've held a consistent quality over the years. I watched one of your videos from 2014 where you celebrate 1000 subs and it felt just as good as one's from 2016 I seen. Cool to see that kind of effort pay off over the years.
Doki Doki Panic was designed by Miyamoto and was actually based on a prototype for what was originally going to be Super Mario Bros. 2. Miyamoto himself actually prefers Doki Doki Panic over The Lost Levels, because DDP actually innovated on the original Super Mario Bros (albeit to a quite ridiculous degree), while TLL was practically just an unfairly difficult romhack designed mostly by someone else.
Thank you for bringing the facts to light, thank you.. I'm so tired and done with people getting it wrong, and would you look at that Miyamoto knows which is the better game, or in this case. An actual sequel
Except one is a game with a horrible premise and a downright weird execution, including the finale... the other one was a Kickstarted game. Yes, I love Odyssey, but I could make it without the "MARIO IS A FRIGGIN DEMON THAT POSSESSES BODIES!!!111!1!!!!!!!1!" thing. And Hat Girl looks so kawaii...
Richard Surraco Okay so basically you are a strange person and have an issue about "demon possession" in a video game that no one else does? Okay thank you crazy man.
FreezeMe was a Kickstarter game that didn't reach its funding goal. The game was far enough along that the developer decided to at least get it to a state that could be released instead of throwing everything away, but it's basically an unfinished game, hence the overall lack of polish and content.
Heard of Hat in Time before but I didn't really know anything about it. Thank you for the explanation, I kind of forgot about it for a long time after it was at peak popularity unfortunately
Well , your welcome . I've been gaming since 1984 and I think my arm is falling off (May be unrelated or not)! I started with computer text adventures. Excellent Video Austin Eruption
eve of extinction!!!! that used to be my childhood game, would be a great game to make a video on, many jokes to be made, anywho keep up the good work!
Funny story, I bought that game on a flea market ones. I just recently started playing, I played past the first boss and a little through the chinese mansion that are the second stage (I think). Then I really started to realize how boring the level design and the concept of it all was. Having weapons upgrade from level to level based of how much you use them and that corresponding level is how long of a combo you can do with that (current in use) weapon. In my favorite franchise like R&C however were they do a way better formula for this kinda thing. The R&C formula were weapons upgrade in effectiveness and damage output for each level (and look sometimes) that are way more helpful and fun then E.O.E. broken system So I dropped the game and felt like that was one of the best decisions I'd ever done. I rate the game 3,5/10
And Doki Doki Panic is itself formerly a kind of Super Mario game that eventually became another game that then became Doki Doki Panic that came Mario 2 . . . I need a lie down now.
I didn't think Austin's video about Mario Clones would vaguely mention God Hand-- Therefore making me want to play the game again. I like God Hand for it's ridiculous charm, experimental combo system, and mild Hokuto no Ken vibes. Technically, it's flawed, but I love it. Oh right...this is a Mario-related video. Great video Austin, and uh...wa-hoo!? It's-a me!? Insert Overused Mario Line or Reference Here!?
didn't know you also were 27 like me, so 1990 kids unite! And yea I didnt have the commodore64 stuff too, but crew up with Sega Master System and SNES, so I also recognize these games
A Mario clone I really like is called Poi. Came out not too long ago on Switch and a lot earlier in the year on PC. It's basically Mario 64 with some smaller details pretty much lifted from Sunshine. Came out at a really bad time on Switch though cause it was only a few days before Odyssey dropped. It's not as good as Hat in Time, but I'd still recommend checking it out.
Some of these clones from the old days are frigging hilarious. This video is reminding me to check out some of the 2 bit Atari clones that used to come out (pac man, Donkey Kong, etc.).
I don't know why people think the Wii U doesn't have a lot of good games. You have Super Mario 3D World, Breath of the Wild, DKC Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Assassin's Creed IV, Shovel Knight, Arkham City, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Smash 4, Mario Maker, Bit.Trip Runner 2, Guacamelee, Steamworld Dig... Granted, I wish it'd gotten an Animal Crossing game and a Metroid other than Prime Trilogy, but Wii U owners were never hurting for games.
fun fact: the original version of the script said MCKids was his favorite McDonald's game, but I made him change it because McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is so good
LOL Icon Kid Radd was indeed super rad! Although I think he's based a little more on Treasure Master? Which is also not a great game, but it is much radder
Funfact: in spain, germany and the uk, the NES was a failure over there and 600 NES games never came out over there with SEGA and Commodore ruling the market over there plus pc gaming was huge during the VG crash. Also there was wind in the lost levels
Yes, Hat Kid is absolutely fucking adorable!!! She’s one of the cutest characters I’ve seen in a long time. Her animations give her so much charm and life. Even though I don’t care about platformers, it’s nice to hear her game is good too!
Omg! I loved Hat in Time. Got it on Switch! I haven't completed all the DLC contracts, but man... Great game. Just wish it was longer, or more to do within the worlds...I may go finish those contracts now...
Let's be real tho. Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels pale in comparison to Super Mario Bros. 2. It's neither lacking essential mechanics and it's not complete bullshit like the Lost Levels.
Did you just call Super Mario Odyssey "pretty good?" That's it! It cannot and will not be considered anything but a masterpiece, and for that you shall burn at the stake!!!!!🔥🔥🔥 Also, for the love of god, MAKE AN A HAT IN TIME SWITCH PORT ALREADY!
I enjoy the "Clone" videos! :-)

Great video man!
Thank you Dan! The concept of a version of Giana Sisters having a mario sprite is wild to me!
I know it's been a while since the last clones video. I'm sorry I'm back don't hurt me.
You get a pass this time but I'm watching you! O.O

Austin Eruption where's My Godhand Video
Austin Eruption hey oddessy came out in October
Austin Eruption can you do more bad/weird games and clones?
I just found your channel the other day. Been binge watching a bunch of your stuff (it's all pretty great so far), I got to say I am impressed with how you've held a consistent quality over the years.

So glad that Hat in Time is getting more love!
Yes. It definitely deserves it.
It looks awesome! Legit awesome!

I'm so tired and done with people getting it wrong, and would you look at that
Miyamoto knows which is the better game, or in this case. An actual sequel
isn't it funny that both Hat in Time and Mario Odyssey both have a hat mechanic
Except one is a game with a horrible premise and a downright weird execution, including the finale... the other one was a Kickstarted game. Yes, I love Odyssey, but I could make it without the "MARIO IS A FRIGGIN DEMON THAT POSSESSES BODIES!!!111!1!!!!!!!1!" thing. And Hat Girl looks so kawaii...
Richard Surraco What do you mean weird?
You throw a hat to anything and it gains a mustache. Even it's a fireball, a car or a realistic human! Like, for real!
Richard Surraco Okay so basically you are a strange person and have an issue about "demon possession" in a video game that no one else does? Okay thank you crazy man.
Who cares? Both games are fun
What about "Mega Man clones"?

"None of that Whataburger in n out bulllllshit"
I think that may have been the funniest thing I've seen all year
Who knew a single letter of the alphabet could cause me to laugh so hard I started crying?
"Hat in Time was a bit too easy"
You can always tell when a video was made before or after death wish.
the soundtrack of giana sisters on c64 is amazing
I wish I had “water butt physics” *sigh*
I haven't watched this channel in a long while, but fuck me man, I still love it as much as I did when I subscribed

Super Mario Odyssey is MY game of the year. Yes, even put above NieR: Automata, Gravity Rush 2, and Persona 5.
Water butt physics are the best kind of physics

THE CLONES ARE BACK
Hey, I can see that E.O.E lurking in the corner! You should definitely make video about that!
THE MCGANGBANG
Matt replying to this for when someone asks what the source image is from
Well don't keep it a secret.
Glad to see other people actually know what it is. nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I bring it up lol.
I'm gonna need the sauce right now
Mcchicken and a cheeseburger combined
..... Why do you have E.O.E there? What are you going to do with that?
Throw Away he actually streamed it for a Dumpster Fire Stream

Loved this video! Good job! Very easy to watch the whole way through!
He was so excited for the first Hat in Time DLC... Hoo boy. Good thing they rectified that catastrophe with the incredible Nyakuza Metro.
Shrek superslam is a clone and it is perfect.
And Doki Doki Panic is itself formerly a kind of Super Mario game that eventually became another game that then became Doki Doki Panic that came Mario 2 . . . I need a lie down now.
This is your first video I watched, but I liked it. You've just got yourself a new subscriber.
Why do your videos always make me happy? I MUST BE ON SOMETHING!!
Sonic Adventure 2 didn't invent the "circular planet" thing. That was the Gamecube's "128 Marios"
;)
I was expecting the next video to show up a year from now
I didn't think Austin's video about Mario Clones would vaguely mention God Hand-- Therefore making me want to play the game again. I like God Hand for it's ridiculous charm, experimental combo system, and mild Hokuto no Ken vibes. Technically, it's flawed, but I love it. Oh right...this is a Mario-related video. Great video Austin, and uh...wa-hoo!? It's-a me!? Insert Overused Mario Line or Reference Here!?
MC Kids was ported to other systems. It was called McDonaldland on the Commodore 64, Amiga, and IBM PC compatibles.
And no, it doesn't suck.
omg that punch in the end...i laughed so hard
didn't know you also were 27 like me, so 1990 kids unite! And yea I didnt have the commodore64 stuff too, but crew up with Sega Master System and SNES, so I also recognize these games
Someone actually drew Austin in his bouncer get-up lmao
The paty cake punch jump scare in hat of time has to be a DBA reference to Nappa in the Saiyan saga
I can't stop staring at that Eye of Extinction copy just chilling in the corner. It must be there for a reason.
...please do a review on it.
This is the first video ive watched of this channel and I LOVE
AND IT HAS MARIO AND SONIC RIO MUSICCCCCCCCCCCCCC
A Mario clone I really like is called Poi. Came out not too long ago on Switch and a lot earlier in the year on PC. It's basically Mario 64 with some smaller details pretty much lifted from Sunshine.

In this episode Austin doesn't like most video games *Whisper* oh wait that's every episode.

Someone appritiating Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed??
THANK YOU!!!
Fuck yes with the mcgangbang reference! Nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention it lol.
SOMEONE FINALLY TALKED ABOUT KID CHAMELEON!!! This is the happiest day of my...well, week I guess.

ChesuMori Yeah, the Wii U’s library is impressive
And majority of those of games I don't want to play so it was a big let down.
That was not cool. Playing patty cake and suddenly BAM IN THE FACE. Daaaamn.
A Hat in Time is incredibly charming, really happy it came to the PS4 as my computer wasn't going to be able to run it as smoothly as it needs to be.
I'm so glad to see someone else that appreciates McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure. So underrated
fun fact: the original version of the script said MCKids was his favorite McDonald's game, but I made him change it because McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is so good
i cant believe breath of the wild stole the stasis mechanic from freeze me
Forcing kids to collect brand logos? Pff kids collect Nike shoes *willingly* and *by wasting money*
I appreciate your use of Phantasy Star Online sound effects.
You mentioned a McGangbang! That shit was legendary in high school!
What is it?
Kid Kool?
Does anyone remember the Kid Radd online comic? That was my life back when I was young and didn't understand half of the jokes.
LOL Icon Kid Radd was indeed super rad! Although I think he's based a little more on Treasure Master? Which is also not a great game, but it is much radder
What about.... GTA Clones for the next one?
Playing FFXV, in Lestallum and was convinced my game was glitching cause of the background music lmao
"Better Than God Hand" *FUCKING TRIGGERED*
I'm so glad you went over A Hat in Time! It's an amazing game and more people need to play it
Sherlock Hound theme? In my UA-cams? Nice!
How dare you not mention Mic and Mac Global Gladiators when discussing McDonalds games. It is the ONE, chief.
the movement of the character in freeze me looks super similar to the way the hat girl moves in a hat in time
Fun fact: MC Kids on the NES was called McDonaldLand in Europe.
This jump scare scared me
Funfact: in spain, germany and the uk, the NES was a failure over there and 600 NES games never came out over there with SEGA and Commodore ruling the market over there plus pc gaming was huge during the VG crash.
Also there was wind in the lost levels
A hat in time was actually inspired by Zelda: Wind Waker, Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie
I always wanted to play the Great Giana Sisters remake
Ah, McKids... or as I drunkenly titled it during a D&D session, "The Rejected Adventures of Fatty McAtkins"
I love you, Austin.
9:23 Was that a Phantasy Star Online sound?
Yes, Hat Kid is absolutely fucking adorable!!! She’s one of the cutest characters I’ve seen in a long time. Her animations give her so much charm and life.
Even though I don’t care about platformers, it’s nice to hear her game is good too!
Huh, didn't know Etika got to be a McDonald's video game character all those years ago...
oh god xd
The purple boot up was Wrassling. Good arcade style game!
Real talk, when is the Bouncer Clones video???
Omg! I loved Hat in Time. Got it on Switch! I haven't completed all the DLC contracts, but man... Great game. Just wish it was longer, or more to do within the worlds...I may go finish those contracts now...
"Not GOTY material"
*TRIGGERED*
i ain’t part of the mcdonalds illuminati but waterburger sounds like it would taste like ass
A Hat in Time is so good that I bought it twice, PC and Xbox. Definitely gonna be following Gears whole career
"Anyone down for a Mcgangbang?"
Let's be real tho. Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels pale in comparison to Super Mario Bros. 2. It's neither lacking essential mechanics and it's not complete bullshit like the Lost Levels.
u
I want a McGangBang! I love that shit, I always put Mac sauce in it and it's so good.
There was actually a bootleg of McKids that replaced the kid character with Mario.
Is that sherlock hound music in the background of mario maker?
Oh, I've heard of FreezeMe, actually. I watch a couple of people on twitch who legitimately speedrun the game.
i think thats a spider,not an ant
Hat Kid is so damn cute she makes me wanna cry I love her SO DAMN MUCH
6:30 Are you sure you're not talking about an genesis Sonic game?
Did you just call Super Mario Odyssey "pretty good?" That's it! It cannot and will not be considered anything but a masterpiece, and for that you shall burn at the stake!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Also, for the love of god, MAKE AN A HAT IN TIME SWITCH PORT ALREADY!
You're the best guy ever made!
THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
