VeggieTales: LarryBoy and the Bad Apple - Black Mage Maverick 

So let me get this straight All the updates, delays, sleepless nights, and weeks waiting painfully for a new Maverick video. And it’s a Veggie Tales PS2 game? WORTH.THE. WAIT.

I just realized something: The letter at the beginning of the original episode was about a girl who struggled to play video games. And Petunia’s weakness is video games. And yet, of all their stories, and despite their warnings about temptation, they made this one... into a video game.

0:56 You know it's bad when even a christain show with it's targeted demographic being young children points out how stupid censorship is.

Larryboy: Arkham Knight

Always nice to meet another Christian who makes wholesome content. RU-vid can always use more of that.

You're never letting go of that wrecking ball bit, are you?

6:27 As a Spyro fan, I know this feeling far too well.

*I'm a Larry go round.*

I'm a big fan of Veggietales and its pretty much my childhood, but i never expected this And i never expected it to actually be good

so basically it's persona 5 but with christian produce

Happy 25th anniversary to this awesome franchise

I'm a simple Christian guy. I see VeggieTales, I click.

0:22 all of the above

That moment when you realize Veggietales is just barely older than you.

As someone who completed the game 100%, I can confirm that the hide-and-seek kids are treated like their own collectible with unique concept art and music unlocks. No sheet music or other special rewards for finding them.

Larry Boy for Smash Ultimate

I still have a cassette tape of the Larry Boy soundtrack, and I regret nothing.

Makes me so happy to see a Christian RU-vidr! God bless.

Maverick when Smash comes out: I sleep. Maverick making a Veggie-tales Videogame review: REAL SHIT.

It's 25 years old now? Oooooooooh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

0:22 there's a fourth thought you've never considered: how are you?

No my main question was that where's my 24 hour review on why Smash Ultimate is Objectively the best game of all time and why Sakurai is Super Saiyan God tier

I too watched most of the Veggietales growing up. Still have all of those vhs tapes and DVD’s at home somewhere. We’d watch LarryBoy and the Bad Apple all the time on car trips. Good to know that they put some nice effort into a video game based on it! And yes, Mr. Lunt is fantastic!

LarryBoy was initially meant to be the sidekick of another character named BatBob, fun fact So the parodies VeggieTales even stretch to Batman & Robin(the characters, not the movie)

Larryboy has a video game? NO FRIGGIN WAY!!!!! I no longer care than I'm 19. I need to play it.

Not even ten seconds in and a pun is dropped... I have a feeling this is going to be good.

As a kid, I discovered VeggieTales, until this review I never knew that there was a VeggieTales game. I appreciate the review either way

I should not *have* to applaud a Christian entertainment company for making a superhero who doesn't get his powers by praying but is instead just a good person anyone can follow the example of, but between Bibleman's 2 shows and the Captain Bible video game: I do.

Hey a year or so later after you uploaded this, you seen the new revival Christmas of 2019, which goes back to its Christian story line, basically BETTER then the Netflix disaster?

I'll be honest, I actually owned this game as a small child for the PS2. While I never beat it, I think due to getting stuck on the Video Game cyberworld stage, I still fondly remember it, so seeing this just gave me a rush of nostalgia.

This was the first video game I ever played, and honestly it's a really good introduction I think. Used to love it as a kid. That being said the enemies used to scare me senseless. I still think the designs are way overly scary especially with the Grunts weird sound effects. Also the 2 music notes in level 2 also allude me as well to this day....

Ahh such nostolgia, I absolutely loved watching Veggie Tales growing up especially the Larry Boy ones.

Archibald Asparagus will be my favorite character, why? HE'S KING DARIUS!!!!

"Do you like to talk to tomatoes"

This game is the most nostalgic to me, as it was the first game I beat all on my own I was so proud that I didn’t ask my mom to beat it. Pretty sure this was my main start for actually my love of games, that and LEGO Starwars

I'm a huge VeggieTales fan and I actually owned this game and I liked it. The LarryBoy episodes were my most favorite VeggieTales episodes heck I even watched and enjoyed the 2D animated LarryBoy spinoff cartoon. Yes the LarryBoy episodes were so popular that there was a fully-fledged 2D animated LarryBoy spinoff cartoon made.

I once I cried after burning through an entire stack of Vegetales CDs when I was a kid... I had an excistancial crisis because I saw all happyness had an end just like my CD stack

#LarryBoyForUltimate

I’m actually more surprised that you’ve watched Veggietales before _INSTANT LOVE_

Shoutouts to veggietales' cousin 321 Penguins.

So much nostalgia, I loved veggietales when I was a kid and I still do love the older episodes. But This game was one of my first 3D platformers as well, thx maverick

I oughta grab this game; I enjoyed the GBA version for what it was but this game actually looks pretty neat. And yeah, older VeggieTales was fricking great.

This game must have a wild speedrunning scene.

One, hurrah for ya bein' alive! :D Two... yeah- yeaaaah on the Veggietales thing. ^___^''

Know I'm a bit late, hit I love your review and this game. You're honestly making me want to play it over again! 15:33 Facts

I am also Christian and I just watched veggietales at my church school.

Larryboy and the Bad Apple had a weirdly big marketing tie-in campaign behind it. I remember as a kid I was at a mall and I stumbled upon a launch party event thing being held for the DVD. All that money didn't seem to do much though, since I didn't remember ever seeing Larryboy again after Bad Apple. It's also weird this is the only 3D platformer VeggieTales has, even Jonah didn't get a big console game like this, but a 3D platformer is perfect for VeggieTales... so it's super weird that the only other VeggieTales games I know of and remember are PC point and click adventure games

I really should watch the full Bad Apple episode. I’ve seen the others more than a few times, and I’ve heard good things about the Bad Apple.

This was a nice review, I never saw it coming and it's good nostalgia. Ya know, It's been a while since you did a Top 10...any idea's for that? I miss your Top 10's.

I love that someone's actually talking about this game! Before this I only found some speedruns and one long play On a separate note HOW DOES LARRYBOY AND THE BAD APPLE HAVE MULTIPLE SPEEDRUNS BUT NOT PUPPETEER?!

I love this game. in my opinion it has great level design, awesome music, beautiful and colorful graphics. I've done a playthrough and speedrun of the game. I wish it would get a remake or remaster

Wow...I haven't seen this game since I saw a commercial found on a Vegietales DVD...I forgot which one though, It was either a silly song playlist OR Gideon's trumpet.

Oh my god, I thought this game was just a weird dream for so long.

I don't know if anyone brought it up yet but having the actual voice actors in this game is a huge plus too

Tbh i as a non religious person im pretty indifferent to religion in general (as long it dont hurt others people shall believe in whst they want) But your content is realy nice to watch. Good voice, nice sense of Humor and even admitting sometimes having a bias (childood and nostalgia can be powerfull forces) and still trying to be objective.

Welcome back. We've missed you.

I can tell you loved the show, my favorite episode was Moe and The Big Exit

Huh, I had no idea you were Christian until now as I only just got into watching your stuff, specifically the Crash Bandicoot videos. Always nice finding creators who are willing to admit that given how people act towards Christians.

I only remember the game through the Movie DvD's trailer. I don't know why, but most things in the PS2 and Gamecube era gave me nightmares as a kid. Including the game trailer.

The fact that this was just on ps2 & Gameboy never made sense to me

The tie to all believers and followers of Jesus between atheist, the everlasting bond that ties our hearts together... Vegitales!

I agree with you about the older Veggie Tales being WAY better than the newer version. I grew up on it too, and I even have multiple videotapes and DVDs of their episodes. Happy holidays to you too! I hope you are recovering well.

BRO! NOSTALGIA!!!! MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!! Alright I'm going to find my old copy and ps2.

I actually played this game when it was new. I remember anticipating its release. (I wouldve been 8 years old at the time) And I always wanted to go back to it at some point. I still have it. I just dont know when id ever play it again.

Your a Christian? Awesome, I don't meet many Believers on RU-vid so much. Hey something I seem to like to ask a lot is what's your favorite Character in the Bible?

Hoo boy does this bring back some memories. I used to watch the DVD the game's based on all the time as a kid (and I still have it to this day), and I would always watch the game trailer after that sweet music video and proceed to beg my mom for a copy of the game only to be shot down.

Please don’t retire for at least another decade.

WEED EATER.

when you review an RPG can you please make a category called party members you lose

Looking back at playing this game, I kind of wish this was remastered and reworked through Unity game engine. Who should remaster it? I don't know. But I hope Universal would give Big Idea the thumbs up if it was possible.

Actually my thought going into this video was "oh sweet someone's reviewing the Larryboy game!" Also about the hide and seek thing, muggers DO exist in Bumblyburg, one of the worst would probably be the Milk Money Bandit, who not only mugs kids, but also stalks them, it's no wonder the police were after him "for months," as Officer Scooter said.

Mavvy, I was in the middle of listening to Rush. Oh well, you're great, too.

Veggietales was my childhood

My only exposure to VeggieTales was the animated movie titled: “The pirates who don’t do anything.”

There should only be one Bad Apple, and she's from a Touhou game!

I was legitimately was thinking about this game the other day at work.

i have this game and i can honestly say it's good. glad you made this video and shared your opinion.

I forgot you existed, but I'm glad I've watched the video. :)

If the bad apple had been using the fun house thing while everyone was stuck, while they would have to make someone else be the level bosses, it would add a level of urgency to the games plot

The “bosses” in this game, aren’t actual bosses. With the exception of the final boss, they’re all just really simple very boring puzzles that don’t require much effort. But yeah, I remember playing this game. Not bad.

So a cucumber has the ability to get “hard as metal”?

11:46 Todd Howard.

I used to watch a lot of these as a kid lol. Even as someone who doesn't really have faith they were pretty fun. They balanced it by only really having the religious stuff at the end of just kinda thrown in at places. Had NO idea there was a video game lol...this is going to be a train wreck isn't it?

And honestly, it kinda looks like Psychonauts...

About time

11:35: uh, EA, Activision, ubisoft, any of them could work!

Ok this is epic -Ben Shapiro I’m sorry. Also great video by the way, worth the wait!

I remember seeing an trailer for this game on a disc of an unrelated children’s cartoon based on a video game (don’t remember the game, just that it was based on one), of all things.

30th Anniversary Prediction BenjaMage: Top 10 VeggieTales Episodes BenjaMage: Veg-Out! Family Tournament (A exclusive game for a Canadian game console called the Game Wave that was marketed for Christian audiences)

Yes I too love veggietales and I've seen the video game before and I've been thinking about playing it

I remember having the GBA game. It was a pretty cool puzzle platformer. Would have gotten this game if it were on GameCube but alas I do not live in that timeline. Also, I owned Veggie Carnival for the PC as a kid. This looks a lot more robust than that.

I really love this game. It was pretty well made for it's time. It's definitely really fun and simple also. I just wish we could get a remake or hd Remaster

*Spoilers for Endgame* LarryBoy dies

Bad Apple is my favorite Veggie Tales episode even more then Rumor Weed and a lot of Veggie Tales fans love Rumor Weed.

11:42 um.... EA.

Larry-Boy should be in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate and this Game deserves to be Remastered.

At 10:42 you can see larry boy a bit outside the vehicle XD

"Which game developer fits Bad Apple in this situation" Naughty Dog, considering they RIGGED THE GAME AWARDS.

The show was my childhood. And the movie was bassiacly my Batman. I am pissed that I never got to get the game when I was younger. As a kid I liked anything.

Even as an agnostic I still veggietales
