15:13 OMG! I just realized: this is a reference to LEGO Racers for the PS1! There was an upgradeable-item feature where colored blocks gave you items (like Mario Kart, except each color gave a different item) and white blocks powered them up up to three times. If you use it with three white blocks, the speed-boost item becomes a warp that teleports you basically to the finish line or something.
@@SONICX1027 IKR? I only realized because I had just rewatched an old episode of Caddicarus where he played LEGO Racers and commented on that specific mechanic, so the image was fresh in my brain. And I had already seen both that video (as well as played the game) and seen this scene in Henry Stickmin before; I just never made the connection before since the art style is so drastically different.
@@bhull242 I had a PC copy of the game some time ago, so I knew the reference from first hand experience. For a bit of useless advice/trivia, it could often be more useful to do lvl 3 (2 white bricks and a green) speed boosts than lvl 4 (3 white bricks). This was mostly because you couldn't tell exactly where you were going to be after a warp jump animation. The game would do it's best to put you forward, and it's not like you'd ever end up straight backwards, but if you warped out on a sharp turn, it could screw you up pretty bad. It would also put you physically past a lot of other power ups you could otherwise pick up along the way. So while you could conceivably pick up another tier 3 boost while using your last one, you couldn't gain anymore blocks with a tier 4 until you came out the other side of the warp. Both factors led to a lot of frustration when trying to beat the time trials, as child me couldn't understand how the cpu outpaced me so much using an "inferior" boost. I'm still searching for someone who has reacted to this game who actually gets the reference though. So far, I haven't found a single youtuber who knows it immediately. It was a fairly fun game for what it was worth.
"I have a cookie!" The Joy stage. Your childhood, best memories, and first passions. "Ahhhh! I dropped my cookie!" The Grieving stage. Your teenage times, depression, and loneliness. "Oh, it smells funny. I don't know how I feel about this." The Doubting stage. Your young adult life, identity, and unanswered questions. "Yay, floor cookie!" The Satisfied stage. Your elder years, grateful, and determined. And all under the 1 minute mark. I think Gura is playing the fool on us, secretly teaching us life lessons. But I dunno, I'm not a rocket doctor.
Thank you but I have the rule to not respond immediatly to comments that force an angry reply out of me and wait a day. It works 95% of the times. Today it didn't and I made stupid remarks instead.
@@murasakiringo Again, no one judges you. Pls don't pay attention to the negative parts, we all get carried away sometimes. People have bad days occasionally. The scene would be poorer without you.
@@murasakiringo I probably would feel that way when people get all butthurt when they can’t handle the fact Ian Flynn is a terrible writer for Modern Sonic.
