This feels more like it would've been part one of another game, but apparently this is just how it ends. The secret villain is revealed to be a crossover villain who just, disappears, and we get no resolution. I have a feeling they planned for more, but ended up stopping here.
Carmen Sandiego is definitely an Anti-Hero character, which is basically a character who has both bad and good motives. Based on the ending of this game, she obviously despised these villains who are causing more havoc around the world, so she tricked them into trapping the Cluefinders that they resent so much. However, she knew that the Cluefinders are clever, can break free from the traps, and capture all the villains. After Carmen trapped the villains, she ditches them all, knowing the Cluefinders and the police can handle getting the four villains locked up now. You can especially tell that this is true when Carmen said, "Well, I see that the Cluefinders outsmarted you again. Somehow I'm not surprised. I hope you enjoy your brilliant creations."
Carmen is a mistress of disguise, she can even disguise her voice in this game. She also said that she kept her eye on her pursuers. She must’ve known enough about the Cluefinders & their foes.
@@kelsey1467 this might be where she got the idea to go back to wearing her classic red and gold outfit and set up the Math Detective plot (even though that game came out far earlier still under the original Brøderbund label we're never told when each game takes place although we do know that Chief Tamera Fraser aka Lynne Thigpen's animated form formerly known as Velma Acme in some CYOA books is always DA Chief from World 1996- Forward, but can appear holographically and with short blonde hair like Squidward from time to time.) If anything I think there is a chronological timing of how those games go...after she tests the Cluefinders.
What did ClueFinders ever do to Carmen SanDiego, they never foiled her plans, Acme did. There's no reason for her to get revenge on them when they didn't even do anything to her
after watching the video there is a small hint that it's Carmen behind this if you look at 5:13, 6:15, and 7:09 you can see a portrait of a person wearing the same style hat in the same style as Carmen right next to the door
OK, I get that Carmen Sandiego is an international master theif and all but how did the clue finders know her? There wasn't any crossovers in any of the games that I know aside from this game.
From what can I remember from the Carmen Sandiego games. Carmen doesn't tend to keep her identity as a thief a secret. And her reputation/infamy is even known to both the public and regular authorities. What is usually not known to the public is her past.
@@Canibar13 at the very least they are aware of her being a renegade detective because her reputation as A.C.M.E.'s Batwoman would surely be well known...then again there might be very few outside of Chase, Chief Fraser, Suhara, and Jules who remember that...because Zack and Ivy had to learn that about their adoptive mom.
What's her endgame? capturing clue finders, secretly handing their villains to them on silver platter, wanting new challenge after being thwarted by ACME infinite times, I wonder what & why cause Cluefinders never did anything to her
@@disneyinuyamon Well, Carmen Sandiego isn't truly a villain. She's just an international thief who views everything as a game. She must've heard about the ClueFinders and their reputation as child sleuths who aren't part of any detective agency and did research on how they foiled the plan of these villains and how they saved the day. Thus, she rallied their enemies together and had them put the ClueFinders through these challenges just to see if the ClueFinders were the real deal.
@@kidprime6863 I think she's wanting to get a new job as "A.C.M.E's Sr. Agent in charge of training new recruits" since Agent Lee retired years ago and there's a fan theory (and a good fanfic on the archive about it) that when she's in charge at V.I.L.E. it's more of "an A.C.M.E. experiment" that the U.N. is in on.
Villains that didn't participate Aliens from the living island disguised spaceship Cluefinders 5th Grade Adventures-(Returned back to their home planet hungry) Art Forgers Jacques and Mimi Ramone from the now reopened Amusement Park ClueFinders Search and Solve Adventures-(Still Serving a very very long sentence) ☠️The Apprentice from the Himalayan Plateaus ClueFinders Math Adventures-(Eaten by the real Yeti, bones and blood found next to the cave) ☠️Malicia from Planet Millennia-(Her own magic backfired and was sucked into the Amulet of life which was now buried with Socrates's Bone, by Owen Lam's use of Laptrap's reflective shell used as a mirror in the opening) *☠️ Died in their game
I think the villains from Search and Solve would have made more sense to have in this instead of Miss Rose because she wasn’t really a villain or evil at heart.
Even the Apprentice would have been a better choice then Miss Rose. But I guess they went with here because she was (probably) one of the more memorable antagonists. Even though narratively, that doesn't make much sense. And just ruins the ending of 6th Grade a little.
Welcome to fight club The first rule fight club is ? C.S : catch me if you can sweetie children Second rule fight club is ? C.S : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 9:15
Fletcher Limburger: Shouldn't his challenge be more jungle themed? Or flying since he's a pilot? Alastor Loveless: This kinda works since he works in a museum, but needs more Egyptian ascetic. Not to mention a slight explanation as to how he got demumifide. Heracles Leer: What game was he from? Never heard of him before. Miss Rose: She wasn't really a villein. Just a desperate monarch who wants to provide a better future for her children. Pollution was the culprit. At least the challenge looks fitting.
