Agreed, especially the music is fantastic. Shame it becomes somewhat unfair towards the end; this game really would've benefitted from a save/password system.
This channel is just too sadly underrated. I've seen many videos that show what modern games might be like if they were made back in the early 1980's, but showing them as old B&W movies was was so brilliant I need to wear shades!
@@carltonleboss You could go back in time to the Jurassic period, ancient Egypt, medieval times, and the Wild West, and forwards in time to a bad future. There were also two other secret eras you could access by random chance, one being the first Action level in the first Scribblenauts (which is actually required for 100% completion, funnily enough) and the other being... some desolate planet in the middle of nowhere?
It's a damn shame a game this creative wasn't allowed to have a sequel. I only found out about this game a few years ago, and now it's become one of my favorite SNES games of all time. Really wish Plok 2 didn't get canceled, but maybe we'll see it someday...
The creators are making a webcomic of what happened to Plok after the events of the game. I don't think it's been updated for a few months now, though.
The manual said the third bobbins brother left 'due to creative differences'. (something like - there were rumours of a third bobbins brother, because now there are only two)
Aw yeah, it's Plok! My favourite platformer as a child, next to Donkey Kong Country. Too bad I could never see the end because the last few levels are just so unforgiving, which made me play it on easy mode. However you can't finish the game on easy mode! The soundtrack is absolutely excellent though. As much as I liked the nostalgia levels however I would have preferred if they had been introduced a few levels later. They come too early after the first few levels with the same concept and afterwards you have a run-in with another boss, which means you have two boss fights almost in succession. Also a fun fact about the Bobbin Bros: the manual says that they were circus acrobats and the third brother left them later on because of "creative. differences"
7:50 I'm dissapointed you didn't comment on the ABSOLUTE BANGER that is the boss theme music, composed by the great Tim Follin, who didn't have to go so hard on the music but did and it's awesome.
The easy mode is called "Child's Play" which is quite insulting to people who choose it 😂 Even the devs of Plok said the game(in Normal mode) is pretty hard.
Yes it was. Infact, another game was being developed inside Nintendo that also featured a character with floating limbs, but it eventually became Yoshi's Island
6:33 hmmmm lets see COD had a ragtime mode. kingdom hearts had timeless river. super mario galaxy 2 had one section that slows down like an old movie. Epic Mickey is just an entire museum of disney and old cartoon history. There may be others i dont know of.
whoisthisgit oops I completely forgot about that game, it's a mickey mouse cartoon history. The first level being steamboat willie becoming from grey to color. Also a quick metion to epic mickey 1 and 2, the way to travel is through the movie projectors that have most of the mickey cartoons, a few oswald cartoons, and few others that are from Disney past like the skeleton dance.
Although not a game or a level, peacock from skull girls is a representation of old time cartoons. And then there's "Cuphead" the entire game is just a 1930s cartoon.
OMG that was one of my fav games on snes, i totally forgot about it! I loved world map music, it brings so many good memories when I hear it again. Thank you!
It would have been so nice to have had that flashback sequence return in the final level, flashing between time periods, and the final boss revealing that she had killed Plok's grand-pappy all along or whatever.
Your videos are absolutely brilliant, I sadly haven't had the chance to play many of the games you talk about and play through but still, I love your take on everything and the funny bits you always put in the videos. Thanks :D
Agustin Leguiza There is actually a modern game where this happens. Shovel knight: Specter of Torment. Where there are sequences where specter knight reminisces about how he was cursed. During those sequences it uses a sepia color filter and you play as donovan, Specter knight before he was cursed. He also travels alongside his pal Luan. Though the music isn't old timey and such, It shows good backstory of what happened. Donovan is in search of an amulet. In the end he finds it but he is attacked by shield knight who is trying to stop him because the amulet is actually cursed. In the end, Shield knight is cursed by the amulet and becomes the game's antagonist, the Enchantress, and Donovan is cursed by the enchantress and is given a mission to recruit the order of no quarter in order to get his life back.
As you showed in Boss Analysis # 23, the instruction book for Plok explains the bosses, and it also explains what happens to Irving. And that's Rockyfella at 7:37, isn't it?
All the way through watching the video I was thinking about... well, how hard it seemed to be. First off (if I recall correctly from your video about the insect queen) you can't save at all, and all you have are lives right? if so, it means you only have one shot at the whole game. I didn't notice them refill at all, too. Very impressed that you could get so far, despite my not knowing about it. As for the grandfather part... It seemed fun, something I would've loved if I had played it as a kid. I always liked something "different" from the main story, like going to the past here, or seeing a new thing unfold. I'm getting a bit off track, so I'll cut it short, still love the videos and I'm impressed you could play the game so long! Also, the fire emblem part at the end made me laugh, heh.
oh btw i arrive again to nerd out on you; the 3rd bobbins brother still exists according to the webcomic, when he appears during a jury trial for plok yeah i didnt know it existed too until recently just sayin. guess he was out for tea when plok himself came to take back the flag
@@Swellownic I will warn you, it's hard as heck and has 0 save states! It's one of the best SNES games I've played though. I just thought I'd give a fair warning
Shame I never played the game as I mostly grew up around a Mega Drive. Speaking of which, The Story of Thor's a great yet overlooked game which I enjoyed as much as Zelda.

"I don't like you, so let's fight to the death."
I now know how to get people to piss off.
"Died by a 1% crit?"
I'd be careful if I were you.
Pissing people off in such a manner makes 1% crit chances more likely to proc.
I'm glad you talked about Plok, it's such a gem of a game.
Oh.
Halo/Call of Duty/Battlefield sucks, going to war? Creators used no imagination at all.
IT'S YOU
How are you gentlemen
All your base are belong to us

In Scribblenauts, you can create a time machine, and if you use it, the world turns black and white and you get a fancy hat
I knew I wasn't the only one who knew about that!
IIRC, in Super Scribblenauts you could use the time machine to go to one of 5 different eras

(wait wot i can't see my comment here when i'm logged out)
Hugo Hikari Plok 2 would have been a great gem to the Saturn/PSX library
maybe plok2 switch exclusive xD
there was supposed to be a plok 2???
_"I don't like you, so let's fight to the death."_
I love that quote because it summarizes so damn much.

But git, wouldn't this be one of the "best levels ever"?
Indeed, title kinda confused me^"
But it's also wierd. Therefore it's in weirdest levels ever.
7:50 I'm dissapointed you didn't comment on the ABSOLUTE BANGER that is the boss theme music, composed by the great Tim Follin, who didn't have to go so hard on the music but did and it's awesome.
For anyone wanting to play through Plok (and I suggest you do), note that the Grandpappy levels don't appear on Easy mode.
The easy mode is called "Child's Play" which is quite insulting to people who choose it 😂
Even the devs of Plok said the game(in Normal mode) is pretty hard.
if you take one of the warps in cotton island you can play one, but it puts you back to akrillic as soon you beat it lol
the developers of plok had a missed chance to call grandpappy plok “grandplokky”
10:10 Haha, if you have more shells, his face will be like "Veeeeeeery Pissed Off" face, that scared the shit out of me HAHAHA!
idk why i just love this channel
Because it's a great channel!
yep XD
Thank you for introducing me to my favorite 90s game mascot.
Plok for Smash 5
How about... ...James Pond?
He’s not a smash ultimate dammit
@@coydog7902 I think hes a spirit?
@@coydog7902 he could be. As a DLC. But probably not. I think he is gonna be a spirit.
This probably came out before rayman but I gotta say that these games look very similar
Yes it was. Infact, another game was being developed inside Nintendo that also featured a character with floating limbs, but it eventually became Yoshi's Island
I personally wouldn't mind if FE was like that.
Imagine this same thing with Dead rising
i just can imagine chuck green walking around with monocle, cylynder and mustache
10:32 dat opera house music... never forget
Fleas: "lets steal this guy's flag"
Plok: "So you have chosen G E N O C I D E"
Fleas: "WAIT NO"
23 skidoo a new moving picture show! that extra tails abuse was the bees knees as well!!
We need some ye olden days Tails Abuse. That was golden
6:33
hmmmm lets see
COD had a ragtime mode.
kingdom hearts had timeless river.
super mario galaxy 2 had one section that slows down like an old movie.
Epic Mickey is just an entire museum of disney and old cartoon history.
There may be others i dont know of.
But what about games from 1993? The only one I can think of is Mickey Mania.
whoisthisgit oops I completely forgot about that game, it's a mickey mouse cartoon history. The first level being steamboat willie becoming from grey to color.
Also a quick metion to epic mickey 1 and 2, the way to travel is through the movie projectors that have most of the mickey cartoons, a few oswald cartoons, and few others that are from Disney past like the skeleton dance.
whoisthisgit I love this game. but I agree it has its weird levels.
Although not a game or a level, peacock from skull girls is a representation of old time cartoons.
And then there's "Cuphead" the entire game is just a 1930s cartoon.
zeldasmetaknight one finger death punch has a mode that makes it look like an old movie so you can't see the colors of the enemies.
Ah, how I adored this game when I was younger. The music is the stuff of legends.
OMG that was one of my fav games on snes, i totally forgot about it! I loved world map music, it brings so many good memories when I hear it again. Thank you!
oh i remember the grandpappy plok levels. in the german version when he dug out the shoe he said "that's the shoe of al bundy!"
*cackles at the classical era Sonic*
10:16 God, I’ve always been an advocate about alliterations
I should close the gates to Oblivion to save Cyrodiil, but Git just uploaded.
Cue Bowser wearing a black cape, top hat and tying Princess Peach to railroad tracks.
Or any villain and victim duo, really.
It would have been so nice to have had that flashback sequence return in the final level, flashing between time periods, and the final boss revealing that she had killed Plok's grand-pappy all along or whatever.
"What Sauce!"
- Grandpappy Plok
Your videos are absolutely brilliant, I sadly haven't had the chance to play many of the games you talk about and play through but still, I love your take on everything and the funny bits you always put in the videos. Thanks :D
9:05 This looks like a TBOI ending.
Another game that uses that classic old style movie effect is Mickey Mania in the first levels. Its the only game i can think about using that.
Agustin Leguiza call of duty 4 has a ragtime mod, and epic mickey has tons of cartoon history levels
Agustin Leguiza There is actually a modern game where this happens. Shovel knight: Specter of Torment. Where there are sequences where specter knight reminisces about how he was cursed.

Cuphead is basically this concept as a video game
Glad you're giving a classic some much needed coverage!
"I don't like you, let's fight to the death!" more like "You killed my mother, let's fight to the death!"
My shame is immeasurable! What a lovely reference
This game's music sounds fantastic, never played it before.
I just love your commentary. It tickles me. XD
Easy Egypt
The return! XD
6:34 The only one I can think of is Kingdom Hearts 2. It had a Black & White Old Movie kind of Vibe in one of the Levels.
Throughout his journey, Plok gets diddled multiple times.
ohh. ohh. ohhhhhhhhh.
As you showed in Boss Analysis # 23, the instruction book for Plok explains the bosses, and it also explains what happens to Irving.
And that's Rockyfella at 7:37, isn't it?
What did the manual say about Irving? Because he came back in the comic, and he's depicted to be green.
All the way through watching the video I was thinking about... well, how hard it seemed to be.

It doesn't have a save system, but it gives you the opportunity to continue from certain levels.
You can run out of continues though.
weirdest levels need to continue
10:31 that ff6 music though :D
Literally the only other game I can think of with a sudden old-timey style change is Kingdom Hearts 2.
hello i just want to tell i LOVE your videos
is Plok made by the same devs from Zombies ate my neighbors? The boss themes are really similar!
oh btw i arrive again to nerd out on you; the 3rd bobbins brother still exists according to the webcomic, when he appears during a jury trial for plok
yeah i didnt know it existed too until recently
just sayin. guess he was out for tea when plok himself came to take back the flag
11:21 Ironically earlier I was playing this and I got a 1% critical against him.
Now I wanna play that game, seems to be pretty cool and creative for the time. I bet that if I played it as a kid I would enjoy it a lot
Did you play it yet 6 years later? If so, how was it?
@@sunscraper1I haven't 😢 but now that you reminded me, I'll try it, or maybe in another 6 years
@@Swellownic I will warn you, it's hard as heck and has 0 save states! It's one of the best SNES games I've played though. I just thought I'd give a fair warning
First boss music reminded me of Batman and Robin for the Genesis. Something out of Jesper Kyd's compositions.
Ouch!

Oh hey, sweet, I was on the computer just as this uploaded!
woah, this looks like a hidden gem
I still have this game.
I used to play this game a lot back in the day. Good times.
1:17 hey I recognize this!
I've played Plok when i was 5 or something like that, i love so much this game, i would like Plok will become known again :c
I love the end part well done good sir
Yay! More Plok. Very VERY underrated game
May I ask you if you are a girl or a boy ?? Great video by the way !
couldn't help thinking those were toenails the mouths kept shooting out
I've been diddled again!
Do I sense a new whoisthisgit series down the line? Why, I think I do in fact!
xD
Shame I never played the game as I mostly grew up around a Mega Drive. Speaking of which, The Story of Thor's a great yet overlooked game which I enjoyed as much as Zelda.
What was the font used in the thumbnail?
Arial
We need a mock up of the ragtime Mario but with him having a Mid Atlantic accent for his voice
I was wondering how many people had commented Kingdom Hearts 2, but not that many, surprisingly!
R.I.P Joshua that was one Hell of a crítical lol
I think you're on the wrong video, this is a little snes gem and saced stones is a niche SRPG
OUCH!

Plok the plok is great.
Kingdom Hearts 2 had a level that happen in the classic Disney black and white cartoon
I never played this game, it looks amazing!!!

Sweet! A new Git video! Also, I came 3 minutes after the upload
Go clean up that mess
SPINACH RAG!!! Enough said.
We got more to lub here...
I wonder why whois is fascinated with plok.
Nice vintage tails abuse.
