"This song is peak msm. Nothing can possibly beat it and can't be ruined. Every monster works perfectly and EVEN SCUPS IS UNDOUBTEDLY PERFECTION! It brought my grandma back from the dead and was how I met my significant other of 7 years. This song changed my life, and when you listen to it, yours will too." *Puts it in high A tier*
Words cannot describe how wonderfully beautiful the Continent is. The transitions between verses are flawless, the bridge, while vastly different from the rest of the song, fit perfectly with the main theme, and of course every monster had a distinct part that sounded good on it's own, and simultaneously blended seamlessly with each and every other part. I especially loved Clamble's buildup into Repatillo's beat in the bridge, but that's just one of the many standout parts that compliment the song perfectly. Easy S tier, conversation over.
Continent is absolutely BREATHTAKING. Don't even get me started on DRUMMIDARY. Absolute favorite percussionist in the entire series, that POWERFUL BOOMING makes the middle part shatter my eardrums in the best way possible. KING of the island.
I never really understood the “it doesn’t sound like a party” criticism for Party Island when the Mammott verses 100% sound like something from a kid’s birthday party especially when quibble kicks in. Goofy and bombastic.
i think what most people consider a Party is something a little more upbeat, like pop, future funk, edm, etc. they imagine monsters that typically always pop off, like Deedge, Repatillo, Floogull, etc. Party DOES have strong monsters, but they’re not as “upbeat” as they are on other islands
I agree with your opinion on Plant island, I think it sounded a lot better back when it didn’t have Werdos and Dipsters on it. Without Werdos and Dipsters, I would rank Plant island A or S tier but with its current state C tier fits for it. With the addition of Werdos, Plant island’s song is just way too long now, it extended it a bit too much and it feels like most of the song is just the same 2 verses repeating and the Everything here is alive line is used too much.
i agree. it’s definitely one of those songs that didn’t have to be extended the way it was. i feel like when msm extends its songs, they should change which monsters play in each verse to keep them varied from on another. it’s a problem i have with how Gold Island was extended
while i didnt agree with all of the placements this was quite a fun video, the editing was very comfortable and you were fun to listen to throughout, i found myself using not using the skip button like i usually do in most videos
Fun fact: Wublin island is the loudest island. And the Screemu is the loudest monster in the game Edit: this was before the air island rare wubbox, look at replies
A pretty solid take on a tier list, I can agree with most islands like Cold or Haven. I just have one question, did you remember Pluckbill at the end of that sentence?
i love your videos so much. you're like in my top 10 or so youtubers these days, you just have that special relaxing quitely passionate quality so few have but when they do can suck me in like no other. also your sona is really cute, i love how its drawn.
that’s a real genuine compliment, i appreciate that a lot! i’m glad to know that my personality could keep coming back to my content. after all, every UA-camr needs a selling point to draw a crowd, hahaha. also, thank you for complimenting my sona!
Just watched the whole vid. I've seen another video of yours some time ago and thought it was cool. Idk just wanted to say this was a nice video. Also Starhenge is S tier :)
Gee, it sure would suck is a massive expansion that add's a whole lot of the Amber gang to the core magical islands and funk with there rankings, wouldn't it?
18:48 NO WAY - I love psychic island! I used to love Bone Island but Psychic is one of my favourite islands actually. I love all the islands personally but it’s so hard to rank the magical islands. They are all so great!
I honestly love this tier list. i love how in depth you went explaining why you felt certain ways instead of just saying its bad. im a bit dissapointed that some of my favorites; haven, air &, shanty werent higher but im okay with that. I got so excited when you were praising space island because nobody really likes space island for some reason and I absolutely love it. As a person who plays dawn of fire the continent has been kinda ruined for me because of how much you hear it (dont play dof its not worth it). I also really love cave island and it was awsome hearing someone praise it. other wise i completely agree with the list. good job on making a good list
thank you!!! also for Space Island, i’ve seen a majority of people rank it really highly, but don’t talk about it much because it’s from Dawn of Fire..
I'm pretty happy that you made another tierlist! 😃I didn't really expect much from this video, but then I read how many minutes it is. I clicked on this and I liked it! By the way, as a video suggestion, you should talk about the different MSM plushies like you did with the PVZ ones, official and bootleg.
I love the magical sanctum, my favorite island in msm. The thing I love about magical sanctum is this though, from its first update to its last it sounds it always sounded like a completed song.
This is jsut my opinion but, am I the only one who actually appreciates the Werdos? I mean, I get it they extend the song but they add actual lyrics and stuff. I will have to agree on some of the werdos having weak lyrics but I personally love the earth island lyrics. (It could just be because of its popularity but idk)
Nobody asked, but as a fan of this game for a decade here's my personal ranking: S tier - Ethereal Island, Wublin Island, Amber Island A tier - Magical Sanctum, Fire Haven, Light Island, Continent, Space Island, Plant Island, Cave Island, Bone Island B tier - Cold Island, Starhenge, Mythical Island, Shugabush Island, Faerie Island C tier - Air Island, Gold Island, Fire Oasis, Earth Island, Tribal Island D tier - Water Island, Celestial Island, Psychic Island, Cloud Island F tier - Seasonal Shanty, Party Island, The Collosingum
I found myself agreeing with almost every placement on this tier list and even when I didn't, your explanations toward the placements were very convincing. Good job on this tier list, I have no complaints about the way you went about it.
damn, thank you! i’m glad that even when we were at a disagreement, you could still understand my reasoning. imo, that’s how every tier list should make someone feel and i’m happy that you had that impression too
cave island makes me feel like i was just betrayed and am falling into the void is slow motion as i look back at my old friend forming tears in my eyes
I've been playing msm on and off since the debut of glowbes and honestly some of my favorite islands are the newer ones so nostalgia bias hasnt been an issue for me :0, glad you tried to avoid nostalgia bias for this video Havent finished this video yet but very based rankings
Air Island is so painful for me, becayse without the wubboxes, it's an honest-to-god S tier. All three of them make it borderline unbearable to listen to, though 😭
The number of monsters make all the music feel so crowded. I loved the coziness of getting the violin monster on the original island back in 2016 or 2017 or whenever the game came out and feeling the whole track kinda coalesce more with each monster. The more monsters the more it sounds like them desperately shoehorning in extra layers of depth or unique sounds to make a crazy orchestra. Hearing that groovy dj with the keyboard swan and the singing bird on the ice island is also a core memory haha In comparison ig it just feels like late game stuff is too busy and like trying to tick boxes for completion. Im sure alot of ppl prefer that sound tho and power to them, and i suppose ppl make custom music with monsters taken out in order to fix that. U get my point tho lol.
It’s not about when the game came out. It’s about when this commenter experienced getting Bowgart for the first time. And I agree. Plant Island just feels a bit too cluttered now.
I perfectly agree on your perspectives on light island. It is an amazing island that is S or high A tier in my opinion. Also Party island is alright. It was actually going to be called Vacation Island back then, which is why it sounds a lot calmer then one would think based off of the island name. It is crazy how much msm has progressed, I have been playing it since I was little. (ALSO SCUPS IS UNDERRATED!)
MY OPINION: Plant island 1: Bowgart - i love cello and i love bowgart 2: T-rox - noggin 2.0 3: Colossal - i love the transitions it makes to other parts in the song 4: Clamble - cymbals are basic but i just really like her sound 5: shrubb - beatboxing gives me really nostalgic memories 6: Toe jammer - duet with mammott 7: mammott - duet with toe jammer 8: G'joob - he's my favorite mythical 9: Drumpler - idk i just like him 10: epic wubbox - he's epic 11: rare wubbox - WUBBUBUNGA 12: furcorn - it sounds good only in the choruses 13: Ghazt - it just sounds so... Magical 14: Dipsters - they fill in the emptiness in the beginning 15: punkleton - same with dipsters 16: Shugabush - yuh yuh yuh 17: maw - makes me uncomfortable 18: Oaktopus - could be better 19: potbelly - meh 20: wubbox - I don't really like dubstep 21: Fwog - not special 22: pummel - please be louder 23: Entbrat - ... 24: Werdos - i don't like english in gibberish Cold island 1st: Strombonin - Floogull!!! 2nd: Tweedle - why isn't this in plant island? 3rd: maggpi - i love depressing songs 4th: Deedge - i like DJs 5th: Quibble - I'm gonna quibble with you if you say that quibble is bad 6th: thumpies - my favorite game 7th: Pango - i love castanets 8th: Bowgart - decreased in interest 9th: Dandidoo - doobadoobadoo 10th: Furcorn - reminds me of classical music 11st: Maw - Doesn't stand out to me that much 12nd: Dipsters - 1st track is boring but adaptable 13rd: Oaktopus - if you don't shoo shoowa i will file a restraining order 14th: Spunge - no opinion 15th: Mammott - basic 16th: Grumpyre - boom shagala shat the hell up 17th: TOE - i dislike 18th: Congle - copies pango 19th: Epic wubbox - REALLY doesn't stand out to me 18th: Rare wubbox - Tune is odd 19th: wubbox - earrape 20th: Potbelly - stop. 21st: too quiet too boring 22nd: Tawkerr - please stop tawking Will continue tomorrow
I dunno what it is about the Continent, but it feels like a musical reinterpretation of the prehistoric times. The calm life, the chaos brought by the meteor strike and all the ash settling to give rise to a new generation of monsters. Those are the kinds of visuals that this song brings about and despite all the new additions, none of them feel out of place Also, slifhtly off topic but I noticed something kind of cyclically terrifying about Starhenge from the lore perspective. The Celestial Island has all its elderly inhabitants turn into stone statues to survive the Henge crashing down, only to be revived as their most simplistic forms. But you can make them grow up. Does that mean Starhenge is gonna be rebuilt and the cycle is gonna continue? We also know the Islands are living creatures called Colossals (Colossi?) For the Main Islands and Titans for the Magical Islands and Seasonal variants and the description calls Enchantling a "Monster-Who-Would-Be-Titan. So do normal monsters just grow to become those immense beasts? Are all the islands going to die at some point?
Hi man, are you planning to talk about amber exclusive monsters going into magicals? Most of them i think are a MASSIVE adition. Not that is good or bad, specially i think light island has changed a lot of its pace.
Nice list! I can agree with the majority of the ranking. The only one I’m mixed on is Celestial Island, that one will always be a D tier for me because of Galvana’s verse. I can’t explain it well but it feels like there should be more there. Also, I did NOT expect the shoutout, I’m glad you liked the remix!
i feel the EXACT same way about Galvana’s verse, apart from just not liking how loud and pitched up she is compared to her voice is on Starhenge and to be fair, i did not expect you to see this video! i’m glad you enjoyed the video just as i enjoyed your remix!!
i love this video :D i agree with some of the ranking but i didnt rlly get too mad at the ones i didnt agree with! and thats pretty rare for me LOL i hope you make more msm content like this :)
That's what im sayin too! 19:38 Edit:The problem with light island is that literally every monster has the same track,but some move the notes around other than that the only monsters i only enjoy are the dipsters yeah don't they sound that bad and really potbelly sounds repetetive Edit(again):I actually made pshycic island sound better!With the time machine(they should just change the name to''Time Warper'').If you get the slow-mo right you could make pshycic island great other than Theremind kinda sounding awful
Farrie island is my fav island in the game! and bone island is my seond fav but i don't agre with your opinion of Physic Island. but i do agree with mythical island being great
Gonna try giving my personal rankings on the islands because I feel like it Plant - C Cold - A Air - B Water - A Earth - A Ethereal - A Shugabush - A Tribal - B Wublin - S Celestial - A (I will argue with anyone who gets annoyed about this, and trust me I have a lot of points) Haven - B Oasis - A Psychic - C Faerie - A Bone - A Light - A Sanctum - S Shanty - B Amber - A Mythical - S Gold - B Party - C Space - A Cloud - C Cave - B Starhenge - S Continent - S
"Comes the earthquake!" I do like it though I do wish it did add more ferocity into the voice to present it, they tend to sound like they're presenting a slide show instead granting emotion.
Alright I know I’m more than a little late to the party (7 days) but this was a fantastic tier list!! Almost every point was explained in great detail and I loved the style of your editing! I’ve always planned to make a tier list video of the MSM islands but… I have too many priorities 😭 If there were any disagreements I had with the rankings(even tho it’s your opinion) is that Water and Tribal Island are too low. But even then I agree with a lot of the rankings. Great video! 👍
15:15 It's honestly more of a hot take to say you LIKE Celestial Island, LMAO. (I like Celestial Island) Great video, btw! It's nice to see this niche litte game get some much needed attention.
nothing was funnier than disagreeing with some of your island opinions, checking my own islands to see if im missing something . . . and realizing those same islands i have either tempo shifted from the metronome, or have certain monsters muted/volume turned all the way down to change the song up/focus on other parts LMAO. youd be surprised how much your opinion would change about these islands if you did either of those things! amazing video, loved your commentary on everything!
@@theoriginalalex yeah it was just definitely eye opening to be like "whaaaat, you ranked this island that low?" before checking my own and seeing i changed it a lot to fit my own palate lmao
i’ve thought about “continuing it”, but it’s kinda hard because i’m not as familiar with OvenBreak Cookies anymore (also, the concept of a “viability” tier list confused people
Quibble in gold island is my favorite sound in the whole game. But Enchantling is close. I also love gold island riff because he sounds so heavy and awesome.
Idk who he telling you that sneyser always plays a big role in the songs it's in I don't think I've ever heard it in a full song unless I'm listening for specifically just sneyser
The Continent, Space Island, Cloud Island. they act as the Castle Bass, but in Amber Island where there is no Castle Bass, Sneyser doesn’t play as often as they could
I really felt like I was the ONLY person who actually likes fairy (i hope i spelt it right) island people normally just don't like it and then don't explain why but i love it thx for making this vid its really good too.
every new island in the video was an explosion of happiness for me, after you listen to one for a bit, the next one sounds SO GOOD. The devs made some REAL good songs. No song deserves D or F.
there's probably too much for me to say, so I'll just say that wublin island is probably one of my favorite islands and I love how it was the only island that I was actually there for from start to finish speaking of wublin island, does anyone remember rareblin's old videos with fan-made rare wublins, or is that just me
@@theoriginalalex i wanted to rewatch them when i got back into msm roughly a year ago and was devastated to see that they're all gone. funny thing is that i still remember the rare dermit's design and sounds
I came into this video FULLY EXPECTING for light island to be ranked low, but your reasonings for why it’s overhated were incredible Massive props to you sir Also it has the best seasonal skin dont @ me
Honestly the only things I would change about ur list is to switch gold island, and wublin island, and tbh I never realized just how good the continent is, especially cooler now with the new addition mimic. Overall great list and this is the yt video I watched while eating my food. Keep up the great work!
I know it’s second to the sounds usually but I’d love a video on the designs of monsters in msm. You could do it island based and include how the sound animation and design of the monsters work and what are your favorite say too 5 per island. If you really wanted to spice it up you could not allow repeats across islands since there are a lot of repeats or only do the exclusives to each island.
9:14 Incorrect. Gold Island was released along with Earth Island, making it release before Ethereal. 9:56 Also incorrect. Rare Wubbox on Ethereal Island was released towards the end of 2021
thanks for the heads up about Rare Wubbox. as for Gold, i intentionally placed it out of release order along with Party and Continent just for better organization. i also mentioned that in the video
The only reason I love Light Island is because to me it kinda sounds like a shy kid slowly coming out of their shell and becoming more confident or more comfortable with who they are
Honestly i don't like party island because it feels like it loops when it doesn't, also some monster feel like they don't fit the island. I feel like pong ping and trox should be swapped.

Air Island is so painful for me, becayse without the wubboxes, it's an honest-to-god S tier. All three of them make it borderline unbearable to listen to, though 😭
I haven’t played MSM since like 2017 and the last island i remember seeing was tribal
it’s cool to see all the things that’s been added to the game
Re install it right now. You will not be disappointed.
The number of monsters make all the music feel so crowded.
I loved the coziness of getting the violin monster on the original island back in 2016 or 2017 or whenever the game came out and feeling the whole track kinda coalesce more with each monster.
The more monsters the more it sounds like them desperately shoehorning in extra layers of depth or unique sounds to make a crazy orchestra.
Hearing that groovy dj with the keyboard swan and the singing bird on the ice island is also a core memory haha
In comparison ig it just feels like late game stuff is too busy and like trying to tick boxes for completion.
Im sure alot of ppl prefer that sound tho and power to them, and i suppose ppl make custom music with monsters taken out in order to fix that. U get my point tho lol.
The game came out in 2011
@@Blastoisebo1222012
@@Blastoisebo122 It came out in 2012.
It’s not about when the game came out. It’s about when this commenter experienced getting Bowgart for the first time. And I agree. Plant Island just feels a bit too cluttered now.
I perfectly agree on your perspectives on light island. It is an amazing island that is S or high A tier in my opinion. Also Party island is alright. It was actually going to be called Vacation Island back then, which is why it sounds a lot calmer then one would think based off of the island name. It is crazy how much msm has progressed, I have been playing it since I was little. (ALSO SCUPS IS UNDERRATED!)
WOOO SCUPS
@@theoriginalalex best natural monster in my opinion
scups is kinda boring imo
@@AidennVR >:( Jk it's ok it's your opinion

44:08 it just gets better if you listen to nova's version with ethereals, mythicals,wubboxes,plunkeleton and theremind.
No
I dunno what it is about the Continent, but it feels like a musical reinterpretation of the prehistoric times. The calm life, the chaos brought by the meteor strike and all the ash settling to give rise to a new generation of monsters. Those are the kinds of visuals that this song brings about and despite all the new additions, none of them feel out of place
Also, slifhtly off topic but I noticed something kind of cyclically terrifying about Starhenge from the lore perspective. The Celestial Island has all its elderly inhabitants turn into stone statues to survive the Henge crashing down, only to be revived as their most simplistic forms. But you can make them grow up. Does that mean Starhenge is gonna be rebuilt and the cycle is gonna continue? We also know the Islands are living creatures called Colossals (Colossi?) For the Main Islands and Titans for the Magical Islands and Seasonal variants and the description calls Enchantling a "Monster-Who-Would-Be-Titan. So do normal monsters just grow to become those immense beasts? Are all the islands going to die at some point?
Hi man, are you planning to talk about amber exclusive monsters going into magicals? Most of them i think are a MASSIVE adition. Not that is good or bad, specially i think light island has changed a lot of its pace.
Magical sanctum is so good I have it in my Spotify playlist, so unique
FINALLY someone who doesn't trash on scups
Iceberg lettuce?
Bruh he ruins the air/water island song plus can't even hear it In gold island

Scups doesnt sucks
@@sebaytgamesxd9069 he literally ruins the air island
@@Ballerisntfunnyanymore with scups k like it more but is Your opinión and My opinión
Nice list! I can agree with the majority of the ranking. The only one I’m mixed on is Celestial Island, that one will always be a D tier for me because of Galvana’s verse. I can’t explain it well but it feels like there should be more there.
Also, I did NOT expect the shoutout, I’m glad you liked the remix!
i feel the EXACT same way about Galvana’s verse, apart from just not liking how loud and pitched up she is compared to her voice is on Starhenge
and to be fair, i did not expect you to see this video! i’m glad you enjoyed the video just as i enjoyed your remix!!
My boy got a shout out!!! I wasn’t expecting it either lmao
BRO MIXMASTER CORN GOT A SHOUTOUT
21:10 caught me so off guard bro 😂
i love this video :D
i agree with some of the ranking but i didnt rlly get too mad at the ones i didnt agree with!
and thats pretty rare for me LOL
i hope you make more msm content like this :)
thank you!! if i get the idea for another big MSM video, you know i’ll take it!
@@theoriginalalex yay ight
You've got yourself a new subscriber. Keep it up! 👍
thanks dude!!
I love the little pause before each island where we stare into each other's eyes awkwardly
That's what im sayin too! 19:38
Edit:The problem with light island is that literally every monster has the same track,but some move the notes around other than that the only monsters i only enjoy are the dipsters yeah don't they sound that bad and really potbelly sounds repetetive
Edit(again):I actually made pshycic island sound better!With the time machine(they should just change the name to''Time Warper'').If you get the slow-mo right you could make pshycic island great other than Theremind kinda sounding awful
i like the cold island lyrics cause i can relate to them in kind of a heartfelt way. it's not like "woah... so deep..." they just feel cozy
also how DARE you shit on pompom
Farrie island is my fav island in the game! and bone island is my seond fav but i don't agre with your opinion of Physic Island. but i do agree with mythical island being great

wild to see another Light and Oasis>Haven enjoyer
@@theoriginalalex Oasis has Spurrit on it. Enough said
I love oasis more 😅
I personally think that the werdos on earth island are one of the best parts, along with rare and epic wubbox.
"Comes the earthquake!" I do like it though I do wish it did add more ferocity into the voice to present it, they tend to sound like they're presenting a slide show instead granting emotion.
Alright I know I’m more than a little late to the party (7 days) but this was a fantastic tier list!! Almost every point was explained in great detail and I loved the style of your editing! I’ve always planned to make a tier list video of the MSM islands but… I have too many priorities 😭
If there were any disagreements I had with the rankings(even tho it’s your opinion) is that Water and Tribal Island are too low. But even then I agree with a lot of the rankings. Great video! 👍
no worries on being late, i appreciate any and all feedback!! thank you!!
15:15 It's honestly more of a hot take to say you LIKE Celestial Island, LMAO. (I like Celestial Island)
Great video, btw! It's nice to see this niche litte game get some much needed attention.
this guy likes msm and pvz, this is great! and i also LOVE mythical island and light island [i also love cold island.]
nothing was funnier than disagreeing with some of your island opinions, checking my own islands to see if im missing something . . . and realizing those same islands i have either tempo shifted from the metronome, or have certain monsters muted/volume turned all the way down to change the song up/focus on other parts LMAO. youd be surprised how much your opinion would change about these islands if you did either of those things! amazing video, loved your commentary on everything!
thank you so much!! i also did a bit of volume adjusting on my islands when i was still playing MSM, i definitely have my biases, haha
@@theoriginalalex yeah it was just definitely eye opening to be like "whaaaat, you ranked this island that low?" before checking my own and seeing i changed it a lot to fit my own palate lmao
Okay this was genuinely the first time I've heard the full light island and I genuinely cried wtf???
The Continent gives me major early childhood vibes and I love it.
Every upload this guy makes fills me with joy.
N why r u here
@@CoinyBFDIA Chaos.
I find the illustration of Pompom comforting Scups adorable in a way.
21:10 made me laugh the hardest I’ve ever laughed in a long time.
Ok then here comes my top5
1. Wublin
2. Mythical
3. PSYCHIC
4. Amber
5. Magical sanctum
Did not expect the guy who made my favourite pvz videos to make a video about my other favourite game
21:14 go there on the video and tell me how you feel
🤨
Light island with vocals: 😐😑😐
Light island without vocals: ✨🌟✨😲
I dont rlly find anything wrong with it.
W TIER LIST but imo cold island should be a solid A
also are you going to revisit the ovenbreak tierlist again?
i’ve thought about “continuing it”, but it’s kinda hard because i’m not as familiar with OvenBreak Cookies anymore (also, the concept of a “viability” tier list confused people
@@theoriginalalex understandable
I just liked fire haven, but then I slowed it by like 20% and that shit felt heavenly
THERES MORE NOW!
THE WORKSHOPP!
Quibble in gold island is my favorite sound in the whole game. But Enchantling is close. I also love gold island riff because he sounds so heavy and awesome.
Idk who he telling you that sneyser always plays a big role in the songs it's in I don't think I've ever heard it in a full song unless I'm listening for specifically just sneyser
The Continent, Space Island, Cloud Island. they act as the Castle Bass, but in Amber Island where there is no Castle Bass, Sneyser doesn’t play as often as they could
@@theoriginalalex not convincing me lol thwok is the castle bass for wublin island and they still *actually* play a good part in the overall song
@@cocosolis8240 Sneyser plays throughout all of Cloud Island except the intro, which mind you, is only 8 seconds of the whole song
@@theoriginalalex and I see that it's playing, never hear it. But that's kinda equal parts shellbeat being loud and sneyser being quiet
@@cocosolis8240 true. Thwok for example kinda has to be loud to match up in volume with the other monsters
I really felt like I was the ONLY person who actually likes fairy (i hope i spelt it right) island people normally just don't like it and then don't explain why but i love it thx for making this vid its really good too.
I like spotify version,I wish they added ffydil in that remix
every new island in the video was an explosion of happiness for me, after you listen to one for a bit, the next one sounds SO GOOD. The devs made some REAL good songs. No song deserves D or F.
there's probably too much for me to say, so I'll just say that wublin island is probably one of my favorite islands and I love how it was the only island that I was actually there for from start to finish
speaking of wublin island, does anyone remember rareblin's old videos with fan-made rare wublins, or is that just me
you actually reminded me of those on a comment a while ago
@@theoriginalalex i wanted to rewatch them when i got back into msm roughly a year ago and was devastated to see that they're all gone.
funny thing is that i still remember the rare dermit's design and sounds
I came into this video FULLY EXPECTING for light island to be ranked low, but your reasonings for why it’s overhated were incredible
Massive props to you sir
Also it has the best seasonal skin dont @ me
GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY
Honestly the only things I would change about ur list is to switch gold island, and wublin island, and tbh I never realized just how good the continent is, especially cooler now with the new addition mimic. Overall great list and this is the yt video I watched while eating my food. Keep up the great work!
as a UA-cam while eating enjoyer, i am so happy my video provided that entertainment
Finally someone who doesn’t give respect to the earth island werdos , your officially on my respect list sir😌
take hotter than Earth Island itself
I like doing the earthquake though
I know it’s second to the sounds usually but I’d love a video on the designs of monsters in msm. You could do it island based and include how the sound animation and design of the monsters work and what are your favorite say too 5 per island. If you really wanted to spice it up you could not allow repeats across islands since there are a lot of repeats or only do the exclusives to each island.
thank you for the suggestion!!
9:14 Incorrect. Gold Island was released along with Earth Island, making it release before Ethereal.
9:56 Also incorrect. Rare Wubbox on Ethereal Island was released towards the end of 2021
thanks for the heads up about Rare Wubbox. as for Gold, i intentionally placed it out of release order along with Party and Continent just for better organization. i also mentioned that in the video
The only reason I love Light Island is because to me it kinda sounds like a shy kid slowly coming out of their shell and becoming more confident or more comfortable with who they are
Ok... Lets all agree, quibble is probably the most consistent monster when it comes to quality.
Honestly i don't like party island because it feels like it loops when it doesn't, also some monster feel like they don't fit the island. I feel like pong ping and trox should be swapped.
It’s ONLY been a year, but PLEASE update this sometime soon!!!
maybe i will…
My only gripe with the Continent is that the ending feels very empty. Hopefully the not-yet-added Quints will help fix it!
i hope so too!
I kinda like the emptiness. It fits what the verse is supposed to be
Mimic came
22:02 the yelmut added after the video in question.
