ROM Hacks

• The climax of Super Mario Infinity 2 has Raocow battling the mysterious Black Plague... and completely losing it when the boss turns out to be a hilarious-looking three-eyed dark green Big Boo.

  • Now in cartoon form!

• Also, I could farm infinite lives here, but I won't, because it would take a while and I am afraid... Also known as BEST. INTERMISSION. EVER.

• See, cuz right now this is the part in any RPG ever where you have to kill God. It's pretty rad. I love killing God, I do it every day. You know, some people have breakfast, I kill God, with my super-giant house-sized sword, you know, it has 3 mortages in it, 2 families can live in it, but instead I use it as a weapon; it's pretty rad.
  • There's also what happens when raocow discovers just what happens when you kill the god in question.

• From Hacks 101, after meeting Yoshi, the message box for him states that "It is typically best not to require a player to throw me off a cliff in order to complete some kind of jump." Followed by raocow advising the opposite, and proceeding to throw him down a hole for absolutely no reason.
• Got a bit more lives to attempt Boo Master J Fresh here. Um...hi there Boo Master J Fresh, that's how I dubbed you. I aware it's a dumb name but...

• "Dear Mario: I got a yacht stuck in my butt."
• raocow wonders why, in a hack full of custom bosses, he's suddenly fighting normal vanilla Bowser. And then...
• The first half of one of Vip 2's fortress levels has the "gimmick" of essentially forcing you to reset the game if you go into a pipe. His confused response makes the moment.

  raocow: ... Midpoint!? MIDPOINT!? Oh god damn...

• raocow decides to try and pronounce radio static.
• Music that gets faster whenever the timer gets less than 100 + Constantly resetting the timer to 100 whenever the player enters a pipe or a door + stage full of pipes and doors = musical madness

  • Not to mention the hack ends with a glitch that results in an endless map transition.
• raocow's reaction to hitting the green switch in The Second Reality Project 2, thus giving Zycloboo unlimited power.

  raocow: That's what you think, Zycloboo! Look at me! *chooses the 'Continue Without Saving' option* Ha! Now it is not saved!
  • And in the same video...
    raocow: Oh man, there's a Koopa, that's pretty great. No, Koopas aren't great, they're never great. Koopas have never been great. *gets killed by a Koopa* Whoa! I'm sorry, I apologize! Geez!

• raocow sings his world-smashing hit "Like a Wizard".
• Jowey, the poison cow, feat. raocow, the laughing cow.
  • Jowey makes his return the sequel!

  • "Join me next time when we fight one of these two delicious divas!^* Bright Man and Toad Man ...Don't judge me."

  raocow: So I decided to return to my comfort zone and play... nope. No, I'm not going to dignify that with a sentence ending.
• SMW Remix: raocow cheeses the Yellow Switch Palace by accident. Then he glitches out of the overworld, also by accident. It must be seen to be believed.
• raocow prepares himself to get the Drama Stones in the utterly surreal Drama Mistery 2... but then he finds out there is a plot twist...

SMBX engine

  • Watching Link "paddling his little feeties" is pretty amusing.
  • He also came across a glitch where a blue koopa doesn't kick a shell once.
    "If I try again, will it work better? [...] Dude! You're— *sigh* Man, you are a disappointment to your whole family. You know that?"

• In response to a stoner-ish Percy (mascot of Talking Time Bros. 1): I will eat your soul with ketchup.

• His closing thoughts on the level "Revolution."
  raocow: I've always wanted to play an arthouse film.

• In one of his own levels, raocow left a number of very odd textbooks lying around. One of them contains a message in Morse code. Upon seeing this, raocow exclaims "Oh no, I can't read German!" and moves on... the Morse reads "HELLO I AM IN BRAILLE".
• raocow desires to be taken seriously because he is a pumpkin.
• Finally beating a level after 17 video minutes and a real life hour, and then discovering why it didn't have a midpoint.

  • He finds a keyhole very early on in one of the levels, then proceeds to go wild as to what it contains.
  • A discussion on the psychology of skeletons as leitmotif—followed by an attempt to exploit said psychology.
  • His voiceover for Princess Peach.
    • On the same video, the aforementioned "stoning" from the title.
• From Super Talking Time Bros 2.5
  • raocow ends up in a room occupied solely by a Lakitu throwing out health power-ups. He somehow manages to get killed by it anyway.
• A Second Mario Bros. X Thing, Episode 1: Analog Funk
  • raocow finds out that Demo's pet dog likes being grabbed with a foot. That is a totally innocuous thing to say, what are you talking about?
  • The horn makes a triumphant return from Talking Time Bros.!
  • In the level "Just Rusty!", raocow solves the last Lemmings puzzle while commenting how watching Talkhauser RoundTheWheel's LPs of mods for said game has helped him in his situation. He even goes so far as to say "I know what to think. I know how to think ahead!" Cue him throwing the mushroom block up into the nuke block, resetting the puzzle by complete accident.
  • "A ghost, huh?"
  • A Boo that actually says "Boo!"? What a scary sight!
  • Going into a painfully slow elevator that takes more than a minute to get anywhere, and when he finally reaches the top floor, accidentally going back down before being able to exit the elevator.
  • Pily's infodump has several funny moments in it (Wait, Armless Bipedal Cycloptic Demons? That's ABCD!), but the kicker is when it ends: Demo, Iris and raocow are no longer on screen, having left because they got bored of listening.
    • Only Kood, who was the sole player character that actually cared about the plot, stayed to listen. It's now basically canon that Pily and Kood are a couple, and the mental image of that alone is ridiculously entertaining.
    • Sheath was there too.
    • The outtakes!
  • The ending, though dramatic, still has some of the game's silliness:
    • raocow's death is caused, how else, by him failing a jump.
    • Sheath's reaction to being told that she's the last hope for reality? "We did it! We defeated Science!"
    • Luigi's sprite in the credits is his future grave.
• It's! Monty Python's Flying Circus!
  • Much later, raocow encounters the Fire Bat Cat. Squee ensues.

Contests

• "Yeah, Xman0444, I don't know, like, what's up with peeps putting random names in their numbers. You know, I mean, I could just totally just call him 0444 normally if I met him outside. Who the hell adds a name to their numb--that makes no sense."

• raocow meets Pinkamena Diane Pie.
  • Also Rarity.
    • And now, Rainbow Dash. When he kept referring to her as "Mr. Dinosaur" in Mario Gives Up 2, it actually kind of makes sense, considering his Fan Nickname for Yoshi ("Stupid Horse").
    • Twilight Sparkle. Who has wings.

• raocow sees Bowser's 'obese' clown car.
  • Later in the video, this happens.
    Bullets, bullets, BULLETS! Bullets! Bullets! Bullets NO!
• If you love Happycow, you'll love this video.
  raocow: Science leads to dying. And dying leads to cancer. Which leads to dying! This is why we must go back in time and stop the very first human from dying! If he never dies, then we'll all be immortal! Pretty sure that's how genetics work.
• From the second Make A Good Level contest:
  • raocow discovers a new breed of Thwomp.
  • raocow weighs in on the American moral economy.
  • His reaction to this message box.^note Wait until 7:00.
• Make a Good Level Xontest

• Enemy that tries to keep up with Mario at all times + a warp pipe moving Mario several screens forward = WHOA JEEZ!!
• raocow playing "Jump Rapidly". He says "JUMPING!" expecting a level where rapid jumping is involved.
• About six minutes into part 15, the editing devolves into a rapid-fire montage of failed takes, several of which are the result of him missing the first jump, and one of which simply boggles the mind.
• After he fails a level at a crucial point, he speeds up the footage so much the video goes silent. Then PPR steps in.
• In Part 25, he gets a color block puzzle right entirely by accident.
• The last level in part 29 had you chasing a Koopa all around the level because he stole some palm trees, unplugging the ocean's drain pipe to destroy Atlantis, and plugging said drain pipe with the palm trees the Koopa stole.
  raocow So dumb.
• raocow runs into some spoilers, so he edits them out. What we run into on the other hand, as a result...
• In episode 35, in the middle of a chipmunk segment, he has to sneeze, so he slows the sneeze down as much as possible before resuming chipmunk time. Then a few seconds later, he passes some signs reading "Suicide" and says "Suicide? Oh no!" in a goofy falsetto that only sounds even goofier when chipmunked.
  • The slowed-down-sneeze thing has since been repeated in other videos, and has been dubbed 'raolion'.
• "HEY GUYS! MARIO JUST CAME OUT OF THE POWER STAR'S BUTT! COME AND LAUGH AT HIM!" The ending of raocow's level. Basically, a Power Star got sick so Mario had to come in and fix it by using POW Blocks to defeat enemies. He also helped out Bloopers at the same time. Once the level was finished, Mario came out of the Power Star, where Princess Peach said that quote, and a lot of the NPCs, including Bowser and Big Boo appear and if you speak to them, they are laughing. raocow (and Aterra) both cracked up at this part.
• After numerous deaths (most due to lava), raocow finally makes it to the end of SAJewers's postgame level "We Will Fall Together"... only for the star to slip beyond his grasp. So close, yet so far.

• Playing Vanilla Contest 2014, after finishing the lowest-ranked levels, he signs off saying to expect more at http://raocow.com/hi.

• From Make A Good Level Xontest 2:
  • Pretty much any cutscene from "Demonic Gathering".
  • Through several video intros, raocow tries to describe in detail how to make a peanut butter sandwich only to be interrupted each time the game is done loading. It starts out normal at first but soon descends into true raocow-style weirdness. The final step? Shove toothpicks through the messy ball of bread and peanut butter!^note And then just shove the whole thing in the oven. FOREVER!! And then a Talkhaus user actually did the recipe◊ as described.
  • Bullet Bill launchers don't move around on their own. This doesn't stop Raocow from finagling things to cause one to sneak up on him and assassinate him when he least suspects it!

• Horikawa, one of the three judges, borrowing raocow's "Destroy the world" catchphrase in her judge's comments for two consecutive levels.
• The messages from the Toads at the end of the contest-winning level must be seen to be believed. Indeed he won.

• Make A Good Mega Man Level Contest 1:
  • At the start of this video, raocow purchases the Uncharged Buster Upgrade. After testing it out, he promptly refers to it as Unlimited Lemon Works.

• raocow watches Iris' infamous death scene in Mega Man X4.
  raocow: (while laughing) Look...the voice actor's doing his best, alright? He's doing his best!
• raocow notes how, in Mega Man X5, X is still considered a B-rank Maverick Hunter despite having defeated Sigma four times, while Zero has been promoted to Grand Admiral. At the end of the game, after a long and emotional cutscene in which Zero performs a Heroic Sacrifice, Sigma is defeated for good, and X takes over Zero's role as captain, the game shows X and Zero's final hunter ranks. X is still B-rank.
  • By the end of Mega Man X7, Zero and Axl remain at the bottommost D-Rank, while X is the only character to rank up...to B-rank.
• raocow's reaction to Fairy Leviathan.
  raocow: Oh man, you're a waifu.

• raocow's reaction to X's silly-looking glide in Mega Man X7
• raocow attempts to inject some gravitas into the death of Quint in the WonderSwan Megaman And Bass sequel, Challenger from the Future. Then he sees the robot's face.
  raocow: I'M BLEEDING FROM MY EYES WHY WAS I BUILT WITH THIS FUNCTION
• His comments after collecting the best foot chip in Zero 3:
  "Look. Hidden Phantom had a big Reebok collection and, you know, when you die, you're allowed to bring one thing with you, and that's what he brought, and by becoming a hero, obviously I am permitted to keep on his collection's legacy. Makes a whole lot of sense to me."

All the Sonics

• raocow's playthrough of Rad Mobile ends abruptly when he collides head-on with another driver. The next video takes this and makes a story out of it:
  in 1991, local layabout samwell 'ronco' tarly had a horrible accident when he had a head-on collusion with another vehicle while driving in the mohave desert. after the impact, as he was dying, his eyes transfixed on a small blue mouse character hanging from his rear view mirror. his brain, panicking, set samwell in a strange dreamstate, fixated on the toy. as samwell's dying brain struggled to keep its consciousness alive, a strange world was created in his mind state. the further he drifted, the clearer things became, though at the same time things made progressively less and less sense.
  
  this is his recollection.
• raocow's scatting at the end of the Sky Chase Zone video of his Sonic the Hedgehog 2 playthrough.
• raocow's demands for Robotnik to take him seriously as an opponent after the Tidal Tempest boss battle in Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
• raocow developing a gambling problem over the course of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the biggest problem being that he can't get in the machine half the time.
  raocow: Yaaaay, gambling!
  • The best part is raocow unlocking Hyper Sonic, and while struggling to collect 50 rings to show it off, decides to go gamble to raise it. He immediately gets 3 Robotniks and loses all his rings, and leaves the bonus game with less rings than he entered it with.
• Raocow one-ups his Colonel vs Zero video from All the Mega Men with a 17 second video of Knuckles' version of Hidden Palace in Sonic & Knuckles.
• When raocow has to replay Sky Chase for Tails' story in Sonic Adventure, he decides to try something new and let the viewers play instead.

• While playing as Knuckles in Sonic Advance 2, raocow ad-libs a Knuckles rap song straight out of the Key & Peele show.
• "Uh-oh, changing of key here in the Christmas song. That's how you know it's getting serious! That's when Santa shows up at the end of the movie with a rocket launcher and a jetpack, and he's like, 'don't worry, kids, I got this!' And then he just chugs a whole jug of vodka and...you don't see him for the rest of the movie! Interesting take for this Mary Poppins remake, but I respect their decision to do whatever they want with beloved pictograms of our memories."
• raocow gives Cream an...interesting voice while reading her dialogue in Sonic Advance 3.
• raocow reduced to laughing fits within 5 seconds of starting Shadow the Hedgehog. Using a gunshot as a sound to confirm interaction will do that.
  • When Shadow remarks that taking candy from a baby is fine by him, raocow laughs incredulously and outright calls him an asshole. Worth noting that this line can only be heard on the Hero route of the game.
• While playing a Breakout clone made to promote Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), raocow gets the "Silver" powerup and uses it, which causes Silver to shout, "Witness my power!" and the ball to rise up to the top of the screen where it gets stuck and makes a constant loud noise.
• He's so flabbergasted by Sonic X Bowling that he has to look it up to believe it's real.
  • In the same video, he explains how he once bowled a 1.
• One sidequest in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood has Raocow in such disbelief that he selects the "bad" dialogue out of agreement.
  Wow! You are a danger to everyone here!
  • This pales in comparison to him meeting the sheer mounting ludicrousness of the game's final moments with further and further derision, right up until the game starts a New Game Plus with no input from him.
• His theory as to Orbot's Deadpan Snarker status in Sonic Unleashed:
  When I question the fact [that] Robotnik built a sassbot, I was reminded how past AI led to such resounding success as Metal Sonic and Omega, so I think it's just, if you have to work [for] Robotnik, at some point if you have any form of intelligence, you snap, and you do something about it.
  • The description to episode 23 (1110 overall):
  in life, we all have to make choices. right now, do you watch a full episode of Malcom in the Middle, commercials included, or do you watch a slippery wolf man fall into holes and fight nebulously defined monster for half an hour?
  
  the true hard choices
  • He stumbles through Def Big's freestyle challenge, all the while offering critiques of his own.
  No, I do not feel that vibe! ...What are you producing for?

  • "Oh, no! You're being attacked and/or having dinner there, cat planet cat planet!"
• He starts out every episode of An Untitled Story with a little song. Sometimes he gets enthused. For example: "Doo-doo-doot-doo doo-doot, doo-doot-doot doo-doo-doot doot-doo-doo-doot-doo-doo-doot-doot..." (27 seconds later) "...Doot-doo-doot and so forth..."
  • The bizarre Rousing Speech he gives during his Let's Play of Keep Going!

• From his VVVVVV videos: "This is not so much a puzzle as lemon-guy there being a friggin' moron. Like, you're a professor of what, exactly?"

• "And you know, Kirby being held by a lady in this way, makes him pretty solid."
  • The first two videos of the Kirby LP are filled hilarious moments involving the inappropriate sprite animations whenever Kirby teams up with a partner.
• The ending of the Nitroid! LP. The utter relief in his laughter and everything is hilarious.
• Pretty much the entirety of his Facade play-through. He gets stuck in the couch a few minutes in, and the AI completely ignores his predicament and most of what he tries to say.
• His Distorted Travesty LP's:
  • His reaction to seeing the Dancing Kirbys of Rave Mode.
  raocow: Rock on, Kirby!
  • raocow meets the most epic mace trap of all time...
  • raocow plays Distorted Travesty, hits the money cap, and decides to spend it all on consumable items since there aren't any equipment upgrades that he's looking for available. 30 seconds later, he goes to the next area and immediately runs into another shopkeeper selling equipment upgrades he can no longer afford. Then the game crashes.
  • It doesn't work!
  • In the third game, raocow decides to try attacking a Cucco to see if they still swarm you. To his simultaneous delight and horror, they do.
  • He later forgets that health restore stations do not actually save your game, and as such quits without saving some progress. When informed about this on the forums, raocow jokingly blamed ZephyrBurst, the game creator, for it. The very next day, an update for Distorted Travesty 3 came out, which, among other things, added a checkpoint to that very health restore, as well as a sign with raocow's accusatory quote right next to it.
  • Some meta commentary on the prevalence of hats in Touhou Project: "I am not changing their hats though, that's how I recognize them now. I recognize people strictly by their headwear, which is probably why I became a fan of Touhou relatively quickly..."
  • All of Gate 6 is hilarious, but the final boss of the chapter utterly kills him.
  • In the Epilogue, a bonus level features a Yoshi and hangs a giant lampshade on the true horror of Yoshi jumping. Raocow cannot stop laughing all the way through the stage.

• To those who weren't horrified by his decision, raocow's indecisiveness in starting MariAri 2.
  • Really anytime where he has to voice multiple characters in the cutscenes, there tends to be at least some humour. With his usual Marisa/Bowser voice, an awkward voice for Alice (sounding like his usual Peach voice,) and having Nitori sound like Goofy.

    • A few seconds earlier: "Ryu...is reading a piece of bread in front of live television. That's my favorite show."
  • After getting the Phantom Flare weapon, he forgets to try it at the end of the next video as with every weapon. People insistently pointed it out and caused him to acknowledge that yes, he forgot it, but that he wasn't going to use it anyway. People kept insisting, and the result was this.

  • raocow's quest to make Vi look as ridiculous as possible with the in-game customization options. By the end of the game she's got stone skin, bee wings, a hard hat, a demon spine-tail, a black hood, and a hilariously out-of-place bunny companion.
  • Upon getting the bee wings and hard hat, raocow takes to calling the heroine "A the Safety Bee".
  • After abruptly beating the second Myougi fight, raocow just collapses in giggles for no apparent reason.
  • The sheer number of nicknames the raocow and the viewers have come up with for the Big Bad, Jeh'Oul. Given the unclear pronunciation of his name, they refer to him as Joel, JJ, Jello, etc.
  • raocow stabs Jeh'Oul in the face with a rock spike. Both he and the comments erupt in laughter at Jeh'Oul's expression.
  • raocow stabs Jeh'Oul again, this time in the knee, and declares that his adventuring days are now over... then immediately apologizes for making that reference.

• He has a field day with fighting Shovel Knight in Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows, reacting to everything the boss in question does in response to his playstyle.

  • The Nailmaster asking the Knight to cut him down with the Pure Nail is just as tragic as you'd expect...until raocow ruins the moment by realizing he effectively lost 4000 Geo by complying.
  • His two-second video (!) of one of his attempts to clear the Pantheon of Hallownest is worth a chuckle, if only for its sheer brevity.
• In Wario Land II, he discovers the game can out-nonsequitur even him.

  If you know the words, you can join in too
  Get your hands together if you wanna clap
