The History of Eggplant%, Spelunky's Most Infamous Run. Thanks For Watching! Runners/Notable Features in the Video Bananasaurus Rex BaerTaffy Chaindead jjg27 Kinnijup d_tea Subscribe :)
This is so well made! It may be a little weird being 'the eggplant guy', but I'm really happy to have been a part of such a legendary story and community effort. Thank you for making this!
Rex! Thank you so much for completing the run in the first place. This video never would have been possible without you so I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
What’s even better is that if you kill Yama in spelunky 2 as Tina he has a special piece of dialogue, which is both neat attention to detail and a very cool tribute I love this game so much
Also, as a new viewer I see you only started adding voice to your videos recently. If you ever want to go back and re-do topics but with your more recent style I'd love that, the videos are much easier to follow with voice over and I could probably use all the tips you can give me. 😅
Always love to see the insight on the community of a game, so much stuff can be done in games so it's no wonder there is a lot to talk about them! Loving the new style of content, found the channel from the Ank skip, stayed for all the rest
I remember watching the BearTaffy and Bisnap stream where they discovered the Moai head glitch. That was so wild kinda sad you didn't mention Bisnap at all, he was the one who figured it out
Lessgo big turkey man upload and im first. :) Edit: Finished video (very good), and now I know the reference behind Tina Flan's triumph over Yama. Also never knew about the moe-eye chain and ball thing. Learn something new every day, even about stuff from multiple years ago, ha!
I love that they include that flavour text in Spelunky2 referencing Rex. That’s so supportive of the community around the game and I love when companies will do that
Bananasaurus's run was around the time when I started playing Spelunky and this was legendary, even to a noob like me Derek Yu is a genius, fantastic game, fantastic game
Bro I’m not going to lie I was watching this after watching some of your other videos and I thought you were a professional RU-vidr. Well done man! Love the content keep on goin!
The eggplant was absolutely intended to be for co-op: you can have the second player hold the scepter, stay alive through the moai and even the gift box is no issue because every shopkeeper will gift wrap any items you buy
So surreal to see a video about all this considering i remember seeing half of this happen as it came out. Edit: holy crap i never put together that the spelunky 2 journal entry was referencing Brex, awesome!
I’ve been researching this for the past few days to show my boyfriend but nothing this comprehensible seemed to exist. You have come at the perfect time!
@Pastryperson This video is captivating! And I wonder. Is the info at around 8:20 inaccurate as Hectique beat the any% world record? Or am I just thinking of a different category.
I was hoping this would have some info on using the new skip to get there faster. *shrug* on the other hand, the history of the run up to last month aint a bad thing to find either.
The hired hand is designed not to pick up the eggplant, later on though we realised you could trick the hired hand into picking up the eggplant by using another object.
“Those that played Spelunky will know how bad the hired hand AI is” - ah yes I totally got far enough playing Spelunky to see a hired hand… I totally didn’t rage quit on the the first section of levels…
