Video Game Theories That’ll RUIN Your Childhood 

The red stuff on Kirby's feet are his feet

My not so scary Theory is that when Mario defeats an enemy or collects them on the floor, instead of getting coins, a toad pays him lots of coins to defeat bowser. And the more progress Mario makes, the more coins he gets paid at the end of the level.

For the Portal Companion Cube thing ... while I don't remember them specifically stating it, there are indications that you're not the first test subject, you're just the first one to escape. What happened to all those other test subjects? Well, the part where you escape the tests is when GLADOS says "There will be cake" implying that you will get a celebration for "graduating" ... and then attempts to cook you alive (and eventually lets slip "you will be baked and then there will be cake" ... meaning you ARE the cake). What if Companion Cubes are what's left of previous test subjects, somehow kept alive (and sentient) and placed in some sort of robotic shell? Also, we never see any of the previous test subjects (and seeing yourself is really difficult), along with the fact that you have no memory from before the moment of being awakened, so I agree with the theory that all the test subjects are just clones of somebody, released one at a time with small variations to conduct some sort of experimentation, possibly on human intelligence? That would explain the "fratricide" thing ... you just destroyed what remains of one of your literal sisters (clones) that was a previous test subject.

“That’ll ruin you childhood. Forever.” Me: ima keep watching

11:40 The "Pokémon are Food" Theory is basically confirmed at this point. The Anime outright says it while the game kinda hints at it. Remember that time Ash freaked out when Professor Oak said he cooked a Crabby for lunch but calmly relents after he explained that he cooked Gary's Crabby instead of Ash's since his was too small (underleveled)

when it comes to the "eating pokemon" theory, well that seems to be true. i remember watching an episode where they explained that farfetch'd were rare because people would eat them alot

6:48 And yes, there was a war. Do you know any world without wars and deads? And No, that's not the reason why red has no dad. He was just a trainer too. No one said the war was in Kanto. Lt. Surge is from Alola or some other part of the US

The theory of glados looking like a bound up woman makes sense because glados is actually the concisnous of the wife of apertures founder forced to run the facility trapped in a computor

Did people not know that Pokemon can die? It's happened in the anime a few times. I can be old age because of the Stoutland in Sun and Moon or the Luxray that froze to death to save it's trainer in a blizzard in, I think X&Y

Actually, about the mario thing, it was confirmed that breaking them frees the toad, and coins or powerups are theur way of thanking the one who frees them

Technically, the backpack on the crewmate's back has potential to not be an oxygen tank, it could just simply be a regular backpack. This theory is also backed by the fact that the crewmates die immediately after being ejected out of the ship, whereas if they were oxygen tanks, then they would be able to survive until their oxygen runs out.

I really liked this video. Nothing to do with ruining my childhood. That's in the past and nothing can change it. This is more like a conspiracy theory video.

4:26 Theres also a theory that the amongus character has bones, but the imposter ate all of it and just left the spinal cord edit: bruh chill out this is just a theory-

Consider, all the male non-human characters in sonic only seem to wear shoes and gloves. If they weren't wearing those items they'd be naked. Also if I ran at supersonic speeds I wouldn't want to do it barefooted either. Kirvy however is simply an anthropomorphic black hole bent on consuming all in his path. The "shoes" are hardly the issue.

since day 1 if you paid close attention it was common knowledge that yes you ate Pokemon, this is a world where Pokemon are the animals in the world. The dungeon 3 thing in Zelda was sadly too many people not paying attention. The Swastika was a mirrored then rotated version of the Kanji. the Kanji is the symbol that shows in the game. a Tibetian symbol of luck and fortune, also very well known in budhist culture.

23:03 The Swastika design of the dungeon is not a Nazi Swastika because it’s not tilted and therefore has peaceful intentions.

"Pikachu I choose you! Hit the enemy with thundershock Pikachu! Yeah! Great job! NOW TEABAG HIM!" IM DEAAAAAAADDDDD AF RIGHT NOW!! 🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure, if I'm remembering correctly, in pokemon silver for the gameboy, you could purchase slowpoke tail to eat and there was a full town of slowpokes that had their tails cut off.

You can't destroy my childhood as it's already destroyed by matpat

The pokemon theory is definitely true, as in the anime, ash asks oak if he is eating his krabby, and he said that ash's was too small, but the one gary caught world be an excellent dinner.

0:42 Fall Guys 3:01 Among Us 4:32 Pokemon 6:44 Pokemon 2 8:16 Pokemon 3 (There is a lot of PM) 10:00 More Pokemon (Welp) 11:41 I think you know... 13:42 Still Alive (YESS) 15:10 Still Alive 2 16:17 Sonic 17:59 Kirby 19:32 Mario 20:55 Zelda 22:43 Zelda 2

Nintendo: *breaths* Someone: THIS IS DARK

I have heard and seen Pokemon creepypastas about Lavender Tower, the ghosts etc. They truly exploit the creepy atmosphere of the 1st gen Lavender Town, the tower and the ghosts.

I just realised that in terraria you have a companion cube... and you put your PET inside of it, the one in terraria looks just like the one in portal that you INCINERATE, so yeah that's a thing

All game makes my childhood feels really memorable till shepherd kill ghost and ruin everything

For lavender town, that probably explains why there are a lot of dead pokemon in the tower that are from the war.

I like how you included the rat looking thing in the Counter-Strike clip. I used to break that wall every time I played that map.

but hey thats just a theory, a game theory! thanks for watching! -Game Theory that phrase never gets old 💀💀

Those are Kirby's feet. He does not wear shoes, they are just a different color to break up the color scheme.

In Pokémon sword and shield, there is a dish that uses slowpoke's tail but is explained that slowpokes tail actually falls off. But it then begs the question, why the hell would anyone eat it.

Binge watching videos like these aren't for everyone... Oh, my pysche

8:10 "Hit the enemy with thundershock now! Now teabag him" got me dying 😂

me:*seeing the bones of fall guy characters* me again: holy shi-

That is Kirby's feet, like how animal's can have different color fur or even skin. I mean my cat's toe beans have more then one color, so I think Kirby is just bare foot like the Waddle Dee enemy in the game.

I remember being a child playing FallGuys in my childhood back in the 90s and early 2000s... wait?

There was literally a scene in the Pokémon TV series where James from team rocket was convinced to buy a Magikarp and he was convinced to get it because he could sell the Magikarp as food and make tons of money off of it.

Be Amazed : "I suddenly lost my appetite" Me eating ravioli throughout the whole episode: "I have no such weakness"

Another fact on the war one of pokemon, rare candies were used to strengthen the pokemon but during the war, they were low on it hence the name rare- and why you can find them scattered in random places.

Ready for me to ruin the dead Raticate theory? Gary's Raticate ISN'T his Rattata because it's level 16 while Rattata evolves into Raticate at level 20 meaning Gary caught Raticate IN THE WILD

5:59 Yes, I know, you guys killed Ratticate, my childhood isn't ruined since I am younger than pokemon and it's not my fault that you killed a magic rat

There's a Splatoon theory that the screams in the boss rooms followed by train bells represent the octarians being blended into a paste from the Deep-sea Metro so that the villainous AI Tartar can extract their DNA to make dead husks of the octarians, and another theory is that Mr Grizz is stealing the Salmonoid eggs to eat the baby Salmonoids, Nintendo has a lot to explain about this post apocalyptic game about shooting ink out of super soakers

He completely forgot that ditto is literally a failed experiment and it is easily noticed because it has the exact same attacks as Mew and Mewtwo

In the Mario part, the next page of the manual it says that the toads give you items, which means that the toads turned into mystery boxes.

The design for GLaDOS is just for shadowing the reveal that GLaDOS was originally the ceo of aperture Cave Jonson’s assistant named Caroline who was forced into the GLaDOS machine after the death of Cave

only reason team rocket uses koffing is because when koffing releases the gas the enemy wont know where there opponent is while getting posioned

1:57 “yes this is not okay.this needs to stop now!” Best part ever -2021

They have confirmed it since Gen 2 with slowpoke tails, with Team Rocket trying to start a food trade with illegally obtained materials, and in portal 2 it is confirmed that Cave’s assistant? (Been a while) Caroline, was uploaded into the vessel for GLaDOS, whether or not she had any choice or not, and GLaDOS even deletes Caroline from her AI, somehow…

8:36 Did you ever heard the tragedy of Darth PorygonZ the Wise?

I love how he says "ruin your childhood" and instantly mentions fall guys, a game that came out a year ago. Edit: Since this reply section is becoming stupid lemme explain, a childhood game is a game that affected you and inspired you when you were young, when you are really young you can't say x game is your childhood because you haven't gotten out of your childhood yet. It might not make sense but this is technically what it is. When a game is only a year old, it can't be anyone's childhood since Noone has grown up with it yet, they haven't experienced it for much of their younger life and it has barely made an impact for them. For me my childhood game was five nights at freddy's, bakc when I was 8 I couldn't say "this game is my childhood" because I'd still be in my childhood. So to wrap this up, a childhood game is a game that has been out long enough to make a kid grow up with it. Fall guys isn't old enough yet but in 3 years for example it might be many people's childhoods

Honestly I may sound crazy saying this but I love it when games start out with a good vibe then along the way drop of bits of very dark lore it's creepy in a good way in my opinion!

3:23 just noticed all the avatars shown here are JJBA characters! Nice one, Be Amazed.

What's even more unsettling about Lavender Town is the music, in Japan, it caused children to fall into Comas. Because of the frequencies in the song track, though, to remedy this they removed the frequency within the song.

Raticate theory: *Exists* Matpat: I'm about to ruin this entire theory's career

To be fair, Among Us crewmates could be insect-like. Insects don't have any bones, and, not that they're bones, they don't even have lungs, but they still need to breath, and I think the singular bone is what keeps them upright. I really like to think they're little bug people.

Some theory’s say that the enemy in the Pokémon games that the kanto region lost to was Johto the region next to the kanto region this is also addressed in the Pokémon rom hack Pokémon Roket edition

That Fall Guys theory does not coincide with what was explicitly shown earlier. The costumes are just that: costumes. And the beans are just slim creatures wearing inflatable costumes to fall safely, which is why they are called FALL Guys! Among Us: do you know what creature has a soft body, except for a single bone (well, a shell) inside? A cuttlefish. Do you know what sea creature can solve problems and has excellent memory? A cuttlefish. Do you know what creature has excellent mimetic skills, mimicking the color and texture if its environment, to the point that it would make an excellent impostor? A cuttlefish. So the Among Us characters are intelligent cuttlefish.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land's abandoned city feel really builds on the post-apocalyptic world theory. I had a theory that the humans didn't disappear, they were turned into the tiny enemies you see now in a freak accident, which would bring to mind that maybe Kirby himself used to be human.

The anime confirms in one episode that yes, there are pokemon that get eaten as Professor Oak is shown getting ready to make a Crabby stew while on a phone call with Ash back in gen 1, Ash was about to go and meet Bill. However, it semi-implied that like the Crabby that Ash had just caught, the one Oak planned on cooking was wild caught. Perhaps hunting for food is a possibility. Lord knows I've bred an absurd amount of a given pokemon and released them in the wild until I got one with "the right stats" or was "shiny". The games' pokedex entries also mention some pokemon (like Fearow) predating on others.

About the Link dungeon one: that's a common misconception: What you can see in the layout is the Buddhist symbol of the sun. There are two marked differences between it and the Nazi swastika: 1. The perpendicular lines turn counter-clockwise in both the game and the original symbol, while it's clockwise on the swastika. 2. The Germans turned the sun symbol by 45°, turning the base + into an x.

i love how in the games there's nothing about humans eating pokemon, but that in the series we see in some episodes dishes made with pokemons. i'll never forget that plate of magikarp meat.

the existence of real-life animals in pokemon was retconned, and it was confirmed in the alola games, I think, that they really do eat pokemon in some sushi restaurant.

Theory: Gary noticed that his Raticate wasn't a very good Pokemon, so he boxed it up. He went to the Lavender Tower, mourning the death of another Pokemon death, perhaps related to the war later in the video.

the whole Pokémon war game thing reminded me of a different video I watched years ago made by SMOSH where the trainer said '' PIKACHU! USE AK-47! '' Pikachu was confused for a tiny bit before the trainer gave the Pikachu a AK-47. I remember laughing so many times and I still do whenever that memory pops into my mind. also, on the Sonic / Kirby shoe things I had a theory that Sonic doesn't take his shoes off because of some accident that made it where his feet were slowly being destroyed to the point where he would not be able to walk / run around, and that some unnamed person made shoes that are made specifically to prevent the process and if he ever took off the shoes the process would quicken to the point where it should of been at [ like if a person had a power to make them live a longer life and look younger would accelerate in age and look if said power was taken away after they had that power for over 1,000 years ... they would turn to dust since they would not be alive and the remains would most likely be of dust by that time ] and for Kirby i actually thought those were his literal feet and not shoes.

Bruh, the very developers of the game outright DENIED the majora's mask theory.

We need Mattpat to back this all up

The poke-war theory goes even further. Yes, Red's father was killed in the war, That's why the professor is all about rushing you & Blue out the door and instigating your rivalry. The professor wants Blue gone so he doesn't have to take care of him and he wants you gone so he can come by and "take care" of your mom. Pokemon tower is actually the war memorial for all local pokemon killed during the war, which is why that music was chosen instead of the typical upbeat music. In fact, so many pokemon were killed in the war that that the year Red & Blue set out is the first year since the war that new traveling pokemon trainers weree allowed. That's another reason why there is no intermediate pokemon trainers in the wild, just experienced for several years or brand new. So many pokemon were lost in thee war that a virtual training program for future trainers was developed. A digital version of pokemon, or digi-mon. 🙃

Methinks that the war was against Pokémon themselves, an alien domain of lifeforms. This would explain why certain characters are afraid of Pokémon; they’re dangerous, new things that have taken over the world.

"Pikachu now tea bag him"😂😂😂

I've ruined my childhood too many times, this is nothing but Halloween for me.

the last one chilled my spine fully

Bruh, there's an entire game theory video proving that you didn't kill gary's raticate. It's something to do with the ways levels work and evolving levels and all that, I forgot, but you DIDN'T kill his raticate.

About the Sonic feet one, the theory with most evidence is that he was always going barefoot, the shoes were a present and he started liking them so much and never taking them off because the personwho gave him the present is either gone or dead

When I saw the fall guys interior my stomach went all over the place… I love Fall guys!

Everyone that pays attention already knew they eat Pokemon dont you remember the farfetched episode the pokedex LITTERLY said they make great meals thats why their so hard to find

I was expecting you to give a tier list based on what pokemon taste best.

8:04 this aged well

Pretty sure the "that one was going to say "I love you"' is actually in relation to the turret, not the companion cube (further supported by the fact that it is not a companion cube being used to solve that puzzle anyway)

When he put up Zelda‘s face with a mask and black eyes that literally scared me so badly

i honestly believe that the lone bone is inaccurate as it is not a spine and crewmates have a neck that can be broken but they have floating hands so they are not human and i believe that because the imposter is shown to have a mouth it is likely a different species and is more akin to an insect or a shark

The pokemon war part aged pefectly with Palworld

also it's quite weird how among us characters move their legs with 1 bone. To move their legs, they'd need at least 2 more bones.

Kirby's shoes aren't shoes. In fact, they're his actual feet.

There were actually instances of the Pokémon universe telling you that they eat the creatures. There were grilled magicarp and Team Rocked had been taking Slowbro tails because they taste good, even being a delicacy

bro when he said ruin your childhood I was like oh he's gonna go ''WELCOME TO GAME THEORY.

"Does that mean we're eating the same thing we're befriending?" Me: dude, we're doing that to animals.

Aha I love how much effort are in these videos!

i think the mario theory scared me the most as well as the people eating pokémon

Bruh, people eating pokemon has been an established canonical FACT ever since the first anime season.

The theory that people it Pokémon may be hard to handle. But it is still close to real life, and how people eat animals. Sometimes even domestic ones

People: “There’s no way Link could survive that fall!” Me: “Ah. Using logic, are we? Well, let’s look at the rest of the game. Mythical creatures, a fairy best friend, and a magic triangle? Sure. Let’s go with logic here.”

As a zelda nerd myself, if you take all of the dungeon layouts in the game it is like a puzzle

Seconds after I saw all eeveelutions I immediately clicked the like button💀. Also can you plz do a video about Eeveelutions 🙏.

Fun Fact: Kirby was created based on the Kirby Vaccumm. The guy who created Kirby sold Kirby Home Maintenance systems in college and once he graduated, it inspired the character.

I recall slowpoke tails being a delicacy in Pokemon, specifically in the original games, indicating that, yes, people eat pokemon in the Pokemon universe.

Lavender Town. Anyone remember lavender town syndrome? And Majora's mask -Ben drowned?

8:14 "Now tbag him!" lmaooo i was not prepared for that

Not to mention glados is an actual person who's mind was put in a robot

You missed the slowpoke tail curry didn't you? Also the anime confirmed that some normal animals did exist but also that certain pokemon parts can be harvested and then grow back. The Slowpoke tail being such an item as well as the eggs for egg curry coming from Chansey or Blissey's.

Link losing Navi doesn't warrant a quest to recover the annoying little shit. Seems like a win in my book.

In unused sprites for a sonic game there are graphics that depict sonic being electrocuted and you can see his bones, which make it seem like his shoes are part of his FEET!?!
