11:42[00:00] It's 74 degrees today, which means it's
[00:02] time to play Kirby and the Crystal
[00:03] Shards. This is the first and only game
[00:05] where the actor Billy Crystal played the
[00:07] role of Kirby and he had such a horrible
[00:10] experience that he never returned to the
[00:11] franchise. Do I know how to use Kirby's
[00:14] copy ability? Come on, man. You asking
[00:17] me that? Really, man? I'm offended. You
[00:21] really come to me and ask me that? Yep.
[00:33] That's Kirby's best friend, Rachel. She
[00:36] was never seen again. Color in your
[00:37] little coloring book with a crayon,
[00:39] Kirby. This game is ready to damn. How
[00:41] the heck to use Kirby's copy ability?
[00:43] What's cool about this Kirby is that you
[00:45] can actually combine his powers to
[00:46] create new combinations. See, it's like
[00:48] a
[00:50] basically you're like a little Kirby and
[00:52] basically you can do whatever you want.
[00:53] And basically, you're like a little
[00:54] bicycle. Once you have the juice inside
[00:55] of Kirby, you can yank it out of his
[00:57] mouth and throw it at a little man. And
[00:59] then um unless this little stupid idiot
[01:01] ruins everything and ruins my whole
[01:02] video. I'm going to eat this guy now
[01:04] because I don't value his life and rip
[01:06] my face off and throw it at the wall.
[01:08] Okay, they were starting to lose me, but
[01:10] they brought me back already. What is
[01:11] wrong with this one? Why is he doing
[01:14] that?
[01:16] They can't do that, Kirby. That's not
[01:18] right. It really is rated.
[01:20] Why does it work like that? that some
[01:23] things will never be okay and that will
[01:25] never be okay that he does that. Kirby,
[01:28] do a crown. I'm going to combine sword
[01:30] with sword for super sword.
[01:33] And now
[01:40] I just delete the entire level with a
[01:43] giant Kirby face that's bigger than
[01:45] Kirby himself. Billy Crystal was foolish
[01:48] for getting mad at this. Now, this is
[01:50] one of the legendary crystal shards of
[01:52] uh which the title alludes to. I'm going
[01:54] to probably miss most of them because I
[01:56] don't care at all. Unless you can unlock
[01:58] the teaser trailer for Wall-E by
[02:00] collecting 700 of them, and I'm not
[02:02] doing it. This is Donkey Kong's house.
[02:04] I'm going in there.
[02:06] Oh, boss battle.
[02:10] Oh, man. Look at him over there. He has
[02:13] no moves. He just stands. He can only
[02:15] stand in place. All right, that was But
[02:19] that was just the first boss. I mean,
[02:20] give you we got to face your fears
[02:24] and die. Now, what if I combine sword
[02:27] man with bomb guy?
[02:31] What is that? Oh, he's throwing
[02:34] exploding ninja stars. See, this one is
[02:37] cool. That's King DDD, Kirby's greatest
[02:40] nemesis and brother. He wants to harvest
[02:43] the power of the shards for his own
[02:44] devices. But then there's a evil black
[02:47] circle eyeball man. Of course, it
[02:49] wouldn't really be a Kirby game without
[02:51] several demonic possessions. He's any
[02:53] trace of DDD that we once knew has now
[02:55] been lost to the realm of shadow.
[03:06] You tripping idiot. You buffoon. Do you
[03:09] even realize how to use copy's copy
[03:11] ability? Oh, he's coming at me. He ran
[03:14] INTO THE WALL. I GUESS THEY REALLY DO
[03:16] HAVE WALL. It's okay to fail unless you
[03:19] do it in such an idiotic fashion. Maybe
[03:21] these exploding ninja stars will make
[03:23] them feel better.
[03:27] Dead.
[03:30] Dead.
[03:32] Dead.
[03:34] Dead.
[03:37] Dead. Whoops. Dead. Dead. Dead. Oops.
[03:42] Dead.
[03:46] Fireworks. Could be. Oh, this is this is
[03:49] far more humane.
[03:52] Dang. When you replay a level and you go
[03:55] to the uh the boss's area at the end,
[03:57] he's still gone from when you blew him
[04:00] up with a ninja star.
[04:06] Man, this song makes you want to change
[04:07] like Kirby's ways.
[04:10] Well, that thing was going to kill him.
[04:15] Look at that sandwich for N64.
[04:19] That's a nice sandwich.
[04:21] Is this guy power?
[04:25] What? Oh, this is the scariest Kirby.
[04:30] Oh my god,
[04:33] that's Ronaldo the painter. He designed
[04:35] the box art. He's a really nice guy
[04:39] with just like a little hint of pure
[04:41] evilness to him. Oh, he's painting a
[04:44] little Kirby for me to be friends with.
[04:49] Now, this creature had to be censored in
[04:50] the American release. It's extremely
[04:52] graphic and disturbing, unlike the rest
[04:54] of the game. Now, they are friends
[04:58] because Kirby did that.
[05:01] The little rocket is called Rocket Ralph
[05:02] and he's the rocket that built Kirby's
[05:04] spaceship and he's a great ally to Kirby
[05:06] and now he's dead. The blue guy is an
[05:08] honorable knight who has seen many
[05:10] battles.
[05:11] This is like a place of worship. So,
[05:14] probably shouldn't be throwing ninja
[05:16] stars into everybody's heads in here.
[05:18] Oh, look at this fountain zone. That is,
[05:20] man, this is cool.
[05:23] They're cool on this DDD battle.
[05:28] He's almost dead already.
[05:31] What the heck is that? You can't show
[05:32] that in an M-rated game. Oh, look at the
[05:35] poor DDD. Now look what it happened to
[05:37] him. All right, let's eat him.
[05:41] Dang. Look at these little trees. What?
[05:44] They're cool for this, man. I like this.
[05:46] Kirby, shoot that guy. Will the apple go
[05:50] all the way over to him? Yeah, it does.
[05:53] Cool.
[05:56] Wow. Oh, that's cool. This has got to be
[05:58] one of the better looking N64 games.
[06:00] There's so much style and character to
[06:02] the presentation. This is the stupidest
[06:04] looking cactus ever. There is no excuse
[06:06] for how bad this is. Is that a hatchet?
[06:11] Look out.
[06:14] It's all three-dimensional. I feel like
[06:16] I'm really there.
[06:19] Rock fire.
[06:21] Oh, volcano Kirby. His shield is
[06:26] blocking it all. Stupid volcanoes.
[06:30] Oh, you're just going to stab me through
[06:31] a pillar. Okay, we're playing Dark Souls
[06:32] now. The shard is mine.
[06:39] I'm going to combine the power of spikes
[06:40] with the power of fish. Oh,
[06:46] they were starting to lose me. But now
[06:48] you get to ride DDD.
[06:50] It's back to good now. The treasure of
[06:53] the teeth. Maybe if I combine bomb and
[06:56] toothbrush, I can get it. Flam and flame
[06:58] creates phoenix.
[07:04] I love this one.
[07:08] Now, what if we get dual ice? What's
[07:10] that going to be?
[07:16] Whoa.
[07:18] What's he got? He's got a fork. I did
[07:20] not think I would be stabbing cactuses
[07:22] with a syringe in this game. I love this
[07:25] sword. It's so funny.
[07:30] A dancing guy.
[07:35] A guy. Oh. Oh crap.
[07:39] This is so messed up.
[07:41] Can you get paracas as a power? We'll
[07:44] never know. Look at the little elephant
[07:45] with stand castle man. It make me want
[07:47] to change my ways. Look at that
[07:48] magnificent blue sky. There's not a
[07:50] single cloud.
[07:56] Tap dancing Kirby. Drill Kirby.
[08:10] Can I just do this through the entire
[08:12] game now? Where's this penguin now? Get
[08:16] that poor penguin. Kirby, man, you're
[08:18] evil.
[08:20] Now he's going to eat all his friends.
[08:35] Oh. Oh. Oh. Stop. Stop. I'm stuck. Not
[08:39] this time.
[08:42] Oh my god. Oh.
[08:44] Wait.
[08:46] How is he lighting the fuse underwater?
[08:48] I'm subtracting two points for that. The
[08:50] levels in this game are like really
[08:52] blank and open, but they look
[08:54] incredible. [ __ ] move. It was you all
[08:57] along.
[09:00] You've been watching Smackdown. Now,
[09:01] what's really, really bad about the
[09:03] weapon that I have right now is that
[09:05] once I throw it, I can no longer swim.
[09:09] See how that could be kind of bad?
[09:12] There. I win. I win. Rut swim.
[09:20] Here we go. Come over here. Yeah, just
[09:23] stand in that. There you go. Boom. Boom.
[09:28] Boom. Boom. Okay, he's out of there.
[09:36] Darth Maul. This is before that even
[09:39] came out. Now I am a fish that cannot
[09:42] even move at all.
[09:44] This was before that even came out now.
[09:45] Rick, that's my guy. Rick, you're so
[09:48] slow. We're dead. Oh, wait.
[09:51] Here. We can fly.
[09:54] Okay.
[09:55] Now I'll be a cat. Thanks for helping me
[09:57] out, DDD. Even though I ate you earlier.
[10:08] This one is dumb. I haven't tried bomb
[10:10] and bomb yet.
[10:12] Missile mouse.
[10:15] Missile mouse. Kirby.
[10:17] What in the world? I mean, it is rated
[10:21] M.
[10:42] Buzz saw Billy, you are no match against
[10:46] demented stapler Kirby.
[10:49] See
[10:52] how is it getting even creepier than
[10:54] before.
[11:02] I'm so good at the Kirby franchise and
[11:05] gaming in general.
[11:08] >> One second. This penguin is outsmarting
[11:10] me.
[11:12] Yeah.
[11:14] >> Versus Inferno. The seal was broken and
[11:18] a new era of terror has begun.
[11:23] >> I hate Kirby.
[11:25] Hate Reggie. Hate Nintendo. Hate Dark
[11:28] Souls. Hate PlayStation now.
[11:32] Why do they all have to die just because
[11:34] of Kirby?
[11:36] I beat him.
[11:42] We've learned so much from this game.
[11:45] We've learned that the power of love and
[11:47] friendship is far greater than being
[11:50] able to turn into a demonic stapler.
[11:53] Well, actually, we learned the opposite
[11:54] of that. But we got to go in our
[11:56] spaceship back home now.
[11:59] Goodbye fairies. Bye-bye.
[12:02] Remember to be careful when you turn
[12:04] into Rock Rick. You can't jump there.
[12:10] Wait, what would that
[12:24] be?
