Fun fact: the music was actually made by the same composer from the show and the script was also written by one of the writers of the show, the same one that wrote the original special in fact, which is something none of the previous games had so i guess that helps explain why it feels so much more faithful.

Okay, in defense of the Attack of the Twonkies cliffhanger, remember that the Twonkie that Sheen shrinks with his song isn't available for you to capture after the cutscene is over. I always assumed that was the one this cutscene was referring to.

After this episode I like how the Twonkies became a background gag in the show, showing up in random places but never being acknowledged by anyone. Pretty fun to see if you could spot any.

Dude I have to say, you’ve gone from a creator I would watch when I stumbled upon them occasionally to my most anticipated upload. You make what I can only describe as comfy content, like a friend telling you about a game they used to play or a discussion about different games you enjoy. No loud noises or crazy edits, just well researched, scripted and delivered videos and they’re always a joy to watch. I’ve gone through your entire backlog over the last few months and it’s great to see how much you’ve developed as a creator. I actually use your videos a lot to go to sleep, I’ve struggled with insomnia for a few years and always find them really relaxing. Keep up the amazing work and I wish nothing but the best for you going forward!

It’s kind of neat how the Jimmy neutron retrospective went across through this whole year like it did .

2:14 EHH

And I always liked how after the special aired, Twonkies would appear in the background of future episodes, often in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. A great detail that didn’t go unnoticed as a youngin’.

Seeing "Twonkies" in the title filled me with so much nostalgia. My PS2 day memories are flooding back. This was an absolute masterpiece.

I love that Nitro Rad became the Jimmy Neutron guy, and AntDude became the Sponge Bob guy
The parallels are uncanny

[BugsyFoga]

Jimmy vs The Gremlins definitely seems like a pretty solid idea.

This game was my absolute jam as a kid, this is a real childhood classic for me.
You don't really see many people talking about this game so it's really nice to see it finally getting some attention.

Glad to see more of Nitro Rad's Jimmy Neutron videos. Feels like Christmas, already. :)

Also, Jimmy Neutron and the Twonkies TV Special... that's a real "Brain Blast" from the past. I can feel the nostalgia, already.

This game encapsulates everything I love about licensed games, it may not be the best game, but it captures the feeling of the series immaculately.

3:05 Hugh's dummy actually becomes a villian in a later episode. This was meant to be the Chekov's Gun for later

[negil]

I never really put much thought into title screens and menus until watching your videos, but it totally makes sense and is really cool the way you highlight them, since they're really the first impression you get of a game and the level of care that went into it

[Scornfull]

Twonkies sounds like a slur for an extraterrestrial being

[DeviousPie]

Jimmy Neutron really makes you FEEL like Batman.

[MisterMokuroh]

I remember playing this one when I was a tyke. What a throwback.

[voidnoodle]

I really, really am happy to see a childhood game of mine get talked about in a good manner that's both fair, and critical. I remember replaying this game over and over and over as a kid, because it hit the right notes for me and made me happy to replay it over and over.

[edwardwhelan]

Games like this remind me why I loved many of the Nickelodeon games growing up, not all of them were good but many of them really felt like you were playing in the world of the show. I loved this game but I remember being disappointed that there was no way to replay levels in this game because it was so close to the show, I just wanted to spend more time in each area. I probably replayed the game more times just for that reason alone.

[NanaKyoto]

It's not often we are graced with a licensed game that truly understands and respects the source material it's being based off of, and this is no exception, and the vast amount of one-off inventions the player can make is a nice touch, even if they are sometimes both limited and situational, they really went for more of a quantity over quality for the inventions for the game.



Also, this isn't necessarily related to the video, but seeing that purple GameCube upon putting the disc in really makes me more interested in getting a purple variant that I already have been, I'm tired of having all my gaming consoles be a somewhat generic black color.
