  The debug Gyroid that says "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" is definitely one of the Animal Crossing characters of all time.

  The arapaima fish fluently speaking English to you after you go out of your way to catch the uncatchable whale is simply perfect.

  Apparently the internal name for the Gyroid face is 影武者 (kagemusha), which generally means a "body double", but I enjoy the literal translation, "shadow warrior"

  Since the Lloid face has "decoy" in the name, I wonder if the idea is that the player is actually replaced by a gyroid that play session since the "real" player is still visiting another town? Tom Nook just goes "LLOID! YOU'RE UP!" and tosses a second Lloid in front of the player's house with a hat on. "Brilliant... they won't notice a thing."

  I think the Gyroid face is meant to be a joke, which got lost on a non-Japanese audience. <br><br>In Japan, (from what I&apos;ve heard) Clay Dolls are commonly associated with magic, bringing them to life to act as servants and such, and when you load up after resetting, the villager becomes confused, since you left, and haven&apos;t returned yet. <br><br>So I think the joke is, that your character left, so you&apos;re instead playing as a clay figure, meant to take the place of your character until they come back.<br>This is why the face looks like a gyroids, since they&apos;re clayfigures as well.<br><br>This is also why Coco has a similar face, as she&apos;s meant to be a clay doll as well.<br><br>I could be wrong about this though.

  The fact that the whale is actually in the game is amazing. I saw so many people make clickbaity stuff about it on YouTube ages ago but you really demolished any mystery or doubts I had about it. Awesome video Hunter, love this format by the way!!

  Oh my god, you just made me remember that a few days after Christmas when the GameCube came out a few of us brought our systems to a friend&apos;s house for a sleepover and we figured out that you could take the Animal Crossing game disc out mid-game (someone took it out when the TV was turned off but not the GameCube). So there was three GameCube playing Animal Crossing in different rooms of the house off of one disc and we had a ton of fun discovering the game with each other, me and the other friend ended up getting the game ourselves afterwards and returning back to our town from the memory card save

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipJVEeUHscE&amp;t=90">1:30</a> Another fun fact semi-related to this one: The European version of Animal Crossing has five different copies of the game inside, one for each language. You can even extract them and run them by themselves. I guess Nintendo didn&apos;t have to worry about running out of space, so they threw optimization out of the window.

  Do you know how upset I was growing up and tripping in the snow? To have my brother and say that I’m lying? I haven’t seen that print since then. Dude I love your videos and your work, thank you so much

  When I was 5 my older siblings told me that Resetti is the one who stole my older brother&apos;s player&apos;s face and gave him the gyroid face and it raised my fear for the mole even more 😆
