Line #87 Trivia/SiIvaGunner


1	* ApprovalOfGod: [[ApprovalOfGod/SiIvaGunner Has its own page.]]
2	* AscendedFanon: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8AXMcEhufg Seasonal Return [Episode 1] (Beta Mix) - The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis]]" is an animated adaptation of the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3922-extended-test-logs SCP-3922]] test on the original episode 1, which similarly depicts soldiers detaining the Voice for crimes against anime.
3	* BannedEpisode: A number of rips over the years have been taken down by the team themselves with no intention to reupload them, due to a variety of reasons ranging from fan unpopularity and CreatorBacklash to accidental connections to ''possible real-world child abuse''. The Lost Media Wiki keeps [[https://lostmediawiki.com/SiIvaGunner_(partially_lost_removed_parody_music_videos_from_YouTube_channel;_2016-present) a fairly thorough list]] of banned rips and the reasons behind their removal.
4	* BlackSheepHit: Pretty much all of the most-viewed rips are of the less common rip variety. Aside from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEcOzjg7vBU the most viewed]].[[note]]It's considered the perfect rip for introducing new people to the channel, is usually set as the channel trailer for this reason, and is even included on the channel's ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiIvaGunner Wikipedia page]]'' as a 12-second sample, hence why it has so many views.[[/note]]
5	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tvs8a_hOQo rip of We Are Number One]] became the [[AccidentalPun number one]] most viewed video on the channel shortly after its upload and stood there until being passed by the above in May 2019. It's currently the second-most viewed video. All this despite the fact that the "video game" in question [[FictionalVideoGame doesn't even exist]].
6	** The third most viewed rip is the SeriesFauxnale[[note]]due to the channel being UnCancelled[[/note]] medley, "Title Theme and Ending - 7 Grand Dad". Most rips have a thumbnail that stays on screen for the entirety of the video, with a song playing in the background that has some sort of minor edit, but "Title Theme" is actually a little music video with sprites of Grand Dad, Nozomi and Loud Nigra traveling through various locales inspired by many of the channel's running jokes, accompanied with a RepriseMedley.
7	** The rip of ''Mario Paint'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymbw2R3uIqc Creative Exercise]] is the fourth most viewed, and it's pretty much an audio-only YTPMV of the song. Most rips use the instruments of the original song.
8	** Then, of course, there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKDlqdsw1i8 Unused Version]] of the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 DK Rap]] as the fifth most viewed rip, famous for starting the Coconut Gun RunningGag. The rip is all about sentence-mixing the lyrics to say ridiculous things. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beNfj2tlQ1o Unknown from M.E. (OST Version)]] is the seventh most viewed video and it's same deal. For starters, much of the channel's discography is instrumental, and even rips that do have vocals usually don't mess with them in this way.
9	** The sixth most viewed, which was in fact ''the'' most viewed video shortly after the channel rebranded itself to [=SiIvaGunner=] up until the "We Are Number One" rip passed it, is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlmDPC6ai4Y Nintendo GameCube startup jingle]] rip. For most rips, the song in the title has the focus, but this rip [[spoiler:spends the first quarter of its runtime playing ''[[Music/MichaelJackson Smooth Criminal]]'']] before adding a loop of the [=GameCube=] startup jingle.
10	** The ninth most viewed is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyNVRrHkwe0 Good Night]], another SeriesFauxnale with some visuals thrown in. Although in this case, the audio is a more typical for the channel, being a mashup of Undertale's music and [[Music/PorterRobinson Porter Robinson's Goodbye to a world]].
11	** The tenth most viewed video is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEV-uL8NDac Dedede Fusion Collab]], which isn't even pretending to be a video game song![[note]]It's still a BaitAndSwitch for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Q-psc5T4I a GilvaSunner video of the same name]] which is actually a remix made by the Japanese group SBFR.[[/note]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaXxs0ZvDlc File Select Fusion]] is the 19th most viewed and it's the same deal.
12	** Finally, the 11th most viewed video is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1p5eNOsl7I the rip of Snow Halation]]. [[spoiler:It's a ''Flintstones''-themed parody performed by a group of ''actual singers'', with a music video as well.]]
13	** Below this point the rips get more typical, but there are still some examples such as the aforementioned File Select Fusion (19th most viewed), two more DK Rap rips (12th and 29th), ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhEAazYMdwM Pause Screen]] which is a [[OverlyLongGag 50-minute long medley]] (17th), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsE6uopETzM Main Theme - Waluigi's Tacostand]] which is another FictionalVideoGame (27th).
14	* BuryYourArt: [=SiIvaGunner=] had [[https://lostmediawiki.com/SiIvaGunner_(partially_lost_removed_parody_music_videos_from_YouTube_channel;_2016-present) a large number of rips]] removed over the years. While some were taken down due to violating Platform/YouTube's policies, the following were taken down by the team themselves:
15	** The "Green de la Bean" rips, a series of BaitAndSwitch videos[[note]]"Stages 1-4 Intro - VideoGame/DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine", "Coffee Break - VideoGame/Mother3", "[=MROB-6720m=] - VideoGame/Mother3", "Green Hill Zone (Unused Mix) - VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1", "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl", "KILL A - VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle", "Kirby Collecting (Unused Mix) - VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack", "Puzzle Room - VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot" (2nd Version), "Unnecessary Tension - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}", and "Deus Machina (Main Theme) - [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Deus Machina Demonbane]]"[[/note]] whose punchline was a SensoryAbuse video of a cartoon green bean, were all pulled after one of them ended up being flagged. A few of these rips would be remade without the Bean or at least with the SensoryAbuse removed. [=SiIvaGunner=] reluctantly retired the character with a somewhat BackhandedApology in "An Ending - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}", which was itself deleted due to having been uploaded on 9/11 (see below). It didn't quite stop the character and RunningGag from appearing occasionally in subsequent rips, though usually without the SensoryAbuse (which was also downplayed in some Bean rips released shortly before the apology video).
16	** The 9/11 event in 2016, featuring 9/11 jokes, ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'', and America-themed rips, was canceled partway through due to extreme backlash (not helped by this occurring directly after the poor backlash from the Bean rips). Several of the rips created for it never made it onto the channel itself. All rips from that day were deleted, including a few unrelated to the event.
17	** "Ashley's Song - VideoGame/WarioWare: Touched!" was pulled thanks to an edited line that joked about engaging in anal sex with Ashley; since she's canonically a minor, the team felt that the joke had unintended pedophilic implications.
18	** "DK Rap (JP Version) - VideoGame/DonkeyKong64" was pulled since one instance of the "D! K!" chant was edited to "K! K! K!".
19	** "Final Boss - [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles]]" was removed due to the team disliking its arrangement, which they described as "a midi slap with an inaccurate Genesis soundfont that we didn't expect anyone to actually like".
20	** "Puzzle Room - VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot" was removed due to it being a [[ShockSite shock video]] that was uploaded unilaterally by Le Ruse Bird without the rest of the team's consent. The video would become a RoleEndingMisdemeanor for Le Ruse Bird, who was banned from uploading for a week. Ironically, this incident was so infamous to the fanbase that the song featured in the video became a RunningGag afterwards.
21	** The first version of "Title Theme - 7 GRAND DAD" was made as a joke video consisting entirely of rips and {{Running Gag}}s that the channel's fans disliked. It was taken down by the team after the second version of the video, a proper GrandFinale ([[UnCanceled at first]]), was published.
22	** "Theme Song - WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}" was removed after a [=ScareTheater=] video revealed that one scene in the rip (the man taunting a screaming kid locked in a shower) was sourced from what appeared to be a pedophilia ring, noting its similarity to another, verified child pornography video. The members of [=SiIvaGunner=] left a comment on the [=ScareTheater=] video stating that the team took the clip from Website/FourChan's /x/ board without any knowledge of who made it or why.
23	** "Environmental Noises - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl" was removed due to it being a troll video of somebody punching a pigeon that was unilaterally uploaded by an unidentified member of the channel, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was promptly fired]].
24	** "abc_123_a - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}" was unlisted as an intentional artistic decision. The video uses the ''WebAnimation/{{Underpants}}'' video based on the track, which itself was based on ''Undertale''[='=]s hidden metastory about the secret character W.D. Gaster, most of which requires hacking the game or [[RandomEvent extreme luck]] to see. Keeping in line with its inspiration, the video itself was hidden so that it required a similar kind of deep snooping to discover.
25	** "Giga Bowser - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee" was an [[StylisticSuck intentionally terrible rip]] uploaded [[IntendedAudienceReaction to see if the fans would dislike it]]; it was promptly unlisted after fans did just that. A different, better rip with the same title was uploaded in its place. This was actually undone later, as the earlier bad rip was reuploaded to the channel during the Nostalgia Critic Takeover, just with the subtitle 'Original Version'.
26	** "Mute City (Multiplayer Mix) - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl" was unlisted due to the team disliking its quality, particularly singling out the fact that it was off-key. The rip "Mute City Ver. 2 - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForWiiU" uploaded a few months later served as its replacement.
27	** The original version of "Title Screen (Demo) - VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand" was removed because the backroom ultimately didn't like it, most likely for being an extremely barebones mashup. It was promptly replaced by a rip where Mr. Own shoots the mashup down, tying into the then-ongoing story arc on his murderous hatred of mashups (although WordOfGod is that the decision to do this [[https://twitter.com/The8Bits/status/804357098096181252 had little to do with the arc itself]] and was just about the team disliking the original rip).
28	** The original "Main Theme - Metal Gear Solid" was unlisted and removed from its playlist, most likely for being off-key. It was replaced by the creatively-titled "Main Theme (super remastered not gay version) - Metal Gear Solid".
29	* ColbertBump:
30	** Mr. Rental, the obscure mascot for the Australian rental company of the same name, was given the spotlight in a few rips.
31	** The channel is also responsible for transforming ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'' from an obscure Filipino series to an Internet icon[[note]]which in turn led to the resurgence of the "word replacement" fad from the early days of YouTubePoop, thanks to a video where all of the nouns in the ''VideoGame/HotelMario'' intro were replaced with the Nutshack Theme[[/note]].
32	** Similarly, when they started using We Are Number One in rips, the once-obscure song skyrocketed in popularity and became one of the defining memes of the decade.
33	** Some "rips" come from games that are rather unknown or obscure.
34	** Big Chungus references on the channel are usually comprised of one of three songs (or sometimes all three): the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB4dYfFgaME song by Endigo]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YDoowoYzOI song by CG5]], and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-Mh80lfAg song by The Slopster]]. While the former two are very well-known and have roughly about 5 million views each, the latter is very obscure, having only about 40,000 Youtube views (likely all directly from [=SiIvaGunner=]), yet tends to be more frequently referenced in rips than the other two songs.
35	* CreativeDifferences: Triple-Q, one of the more well-known early contributors to the channel, was unceremoniously let go from the contributors a few months in as the others felt that his submissions [[https://twitter.com/TripleKyun/status/743656203218092032?replies_view=true&cursor=AADVR8b_UQo weren't of high enough quality]].[[note]]In 2019, former backroom member [=TUWieZ=] published a document with screenshots of the team's internal Creator/{{Discord}}, dated a little bit after Triple-Q's announced departure, where he is still there; but it's still unknown how much he's been involved with the channel if at all, aside from his three ''King for Another Day'' rips.[[/note]]
36	* CreatorBacklash:
37	** Since the ending of the reboot ARG, the Siiva team has made several mocking remarks about it as well as fans obsessed with "lore".
38	** The "bean flagging" incident didn't help matters. It even managed to get to the point where all the rips from 9/11 were removed due to some people threatening to flag them for offensive content. They were all re-uploaded on the (now defunct) Flustered Fernando side channel.
39	** A lot of the edgier rips from early in the channel's days have been deleted over the years. While two of the most infamous examples are "Puzzle Room - Kirby Planet Robobot" and "Theme Song - Caillou", there are plenty of less-known rips that the channel has since deleted, such as a [[https://siivagunner.fandom.com/wiki/Prinsengracht_-_The_Secret_Annex_Online 2017 rip (of an Anne Frank game no less) celebrating Hitler's birthday]]. A lot of this edginess originates from Chaze's and [=TUWieZ=]'s former influence on the channel, at least according to [=TUWieZ=] himself, which dissipated as the channel gained an increasingly diverse ripping team and many of the [[https://twitter.com/MsHinchy/status/1281216415089950720 earlier channel members turned out to be trans]], leading to many of the original edgier channel heads leaving.
40	** [=NBGMusic=], creator of the Mr. Rental rips, mentions that he felt the three ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-themed ones he made were "pretty boring" in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVS5wsXyOxs Behind the Scenes - Mr Rental: The Video Game]]''.
41	* DearNegativeReader:
42	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MxbM1IGc1s "OST version"]] of Megalovania from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is interrupted by Chad Warden, who takes his time to insult people who hate the [[Anime/LoveLive Snow Halation]] remixes that frequently show up on the channel.
43	** Chad disrupts the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBir5JLgfqw "Beta Mix"]] of Megalovania from ''VideoGame/TheHalloweenHack'' to once again call out the Snow Halation haters.
44	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwcZn5bp1Q the video]] that began the reboot, we are told that the channel crashed because of a problem with the file "HALATION.SYS" which was caused by "COMMUNITY_DISCOURSE".
45	* {{Defictionalization}}:
46	** Many fans tried their hand at creating ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTBnJ3wqtZ0 Grand Dad Mania]]'' even before [[VideoGame/GrandDadMania it was announced to be a real game.]]
47	** In a way, modding rips into the games they come from and replacing the respective songs can be seen as this.
48	* DistancedFromCurrentEvents:
49	** Sort of Zig Zagged with his "Continue? - WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat" rip which was mashed up with "Puzzle Room" from ''[[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''... and released about 2 days after the infamous "Puzzle Room" incident. It was unlisted very shortly after going up, and was later in the day made private, likely to prevent controversy; mirrors are available, though, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TIsjsLeji8 it was put back up]] the next day.
50	** One of the contestants for the ''King for Another Day Tournament'' was a team of Reggie and WebVideo/{{Etika}} named "Joy-Con Boyz", but following Etika's CreatorBreakdown and eventual suicide, he was removed from the contest in order to avoid bringing undue negative attention onto the real-life Etika. Bill Trinen would later fill in as Reggie's partner, and the team would be renamed "Nintendo Power". However, Etika was not completely gone from the tournament - he would later get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=domi1RZ-ydA a remix of Lifelight]], the theme song to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' [[InMemoriam dedicated to him]].
51	* DevelopmentHell:
52	** Law & Disorder and [=MissingNo.=]'s prizes for reaching the final four in King for Another Day have suffered this fate; little to no information about either project was revealed for roughly a year and a half before the team eventually [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ecwl3FTG66jIKA9JRDtmg/community?lb=Ugkxxx_JGKBEEcacmi9WmuLsKacAC3WtjM5U announced that they were put on indefinite hold]].
53	* DoingItForTheArt:
54	** The team is making no money off the channel. Nothing's monetized, they don't have a crowdfunding campaign, and all Bandcamp albums are free, with any proceeds made going to the account's free download credits, and undisclosed charities.
55	** [=SiIva=] has an entire art team dedicated for visuals of bigger events such as KFAD or The Christmas Comeback Crisis, who consistently illustrate high quality art when needed, no matter how bizarre or silly the circumstance requires. And much like the channel itself, no real monetization comes from this.
56	* FanworkBan: The channel accepts and posts a wide variety of rips submitted by the fans, but the contributors also keeps a list of content that isn't accepted. Some are due to concern for copyright strikes (see ScrewedByTheLawyers). Others, such as "[[Film/SpaceJam Space Jam]]" by Quad City [=DJs=], "[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Yo Home to Bel-Air]]", and "All-Star" by Music/SmashMouth are due to being cliché memes and thus magnets for low-quality efforts.
57	* FollowTheLeader:
58	** Besides the countless "high quality rips" from those who aren't channel contributors, there's also a handful of channels based off the same concept.
59	*** One of the very first was [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk8uORkwM6prnfmK2Blpfnw/videos BrawiBRSTMs3 X]] by Music/TurretBot, parodying actual music uploader [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl]][[GameMod BRSTMs3 X]].
60	*** Later examples tend to mess with the letters of "[=SiIvaGunner=]" in various ways. One of the most popular in this category is [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIOZ0aXWJjCfR3A4HcxLdg BIizzaStunner]]. The OG Gilva sums it up nicely with [[http://i.imgur.com/dUFN1pJ.png this]] tweet.
61	*** Following the September 30th planned ending, even ''more'' channels sprung up to continue making high quality rips. This includes Music/TimmyTurnersGrandDad, who became more popular than any other fan channel.
62	*** A channel called "[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmDJgB5WpDgonijp0eXPzzg TheLogosMan4K]]" is essentially what [=SiIvaGunner=] would be like if he did "high-quality rips" of [[VanityPlate opening and closing logos]].
63	*** There exists [[https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialKrazyman50 a parody channel]] of popular ''VideoGame/GeometryDash'' player [[https://www.youtube.com/@KrmaL KrmaL]] (formerly known as [=Krazyman50=]), which posts meme edits of Geometry Dash levels in a similar manner to [=SiIvaGunner=]. Levels created for the channel have their in-game [=IDs=] linked in the description of their videos.
64	** On a separate note, thanks to the channel's spread of 7 GRAND DAD plus the reboot replacing memes, various spin-offs of Joel's reaction to GRAND DAD have surfaced, starting with [[https://youtu.be/Ph8WulyL2a8 8 GRAND MA]][[note]]which was later referenced in a Looney Tunes rip as AscendedFanon)[[/note]]. The actual crusade of making these, however, was started by the creation of [[https://youtu.be/2LEQ5DqDE1k 9 GRAND SON]]. It started getting ridiculous after [[https://youtu.be/wcokIL9PYNg 10 GRAND DAUGHTER]].
65	** The King for a Day tournaments have inspired multiple clones and similar tournaments on Soundcloud, which follow a similar structure to King for Another Day. Examples include ''WebOriginal/MashupWeek, Temporary Flight Attendent, Third World Tournament/Third World Tournament X,'' ''[[SelfDeprecation Another Unnecessary Tournament]]'' and ''PRIZM''
66	* FranchiseZombie: Despite Chaze the Chat intending to end the channel on a high note in September 2016, the Christmas Comeback Crisis, intending to just be a temporary special return for the holiday, morphed into an actual comeback continuing ''way'' past the Christmas season due to the seventh episode falling into DevelopmentHell - eventually, Chaze decided to [[UnCanceled uncancel]] the channel altogether.
67	* InMemoriam:
68	** "We Are Number One But It's a Fusion Collab" ends with the message "Thank You Stefan" in the style of the ''Series/LazyTown'' title font, referencing the death of Robbie Rotten's actor Stefán Karl Stefánsson in 2018.
69	** After the death of backroom member Marrow in 2019, shortly before the National Go Fishing Day Event was due to begin, the event gradually worked in more ''Ultimate Angler'' rips, as he enjoyed Streetpass games and ''Ultimate Angler'' in particular. The June 2023 album ''[[https://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/album/i-just-wanna-do-catch-some-fishs I JUST WANNA DO CATCH SOME FISHS]]'', which compiles rips of the entire ''Ultimate Angler'' OST among other rips related to them, was released in tribute to Marrow.
70	** Another ripper, RL.99, passed away in late 2021. In February 2022, the channel commemorated what would have been his birthday by ripping properties he liked, such as ''VideoGame/Mother3'', as well as long, complicated songs.
71	** The King For Another Day tournament ended with two tracks dedicated to those who passed away before the tournament began, with "[[https://youtu.be/a6dR3sralhc 8PM (Fishing Night in Heaven)]]" in memory of the backroom member Marrow (again), and [[https://youtu.be/domi1RZ-ydA Lifelight]] as a tribute to WebVideo/{{Etika}}.
72	** "[[https://youtu.be/_BNXaXWymlg Elliot's Theme - Garry's Mod]]" ends with a dedication to the late ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' {{machinim\|a}}ist [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kitty0706 kitty0706]], to whom the video is an extended {{homage}}.
73	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d4_kAtxyw0 A Song for the Fireflies - Rime]]" pays tribute to the late Creator/IsaoTakahata, co-founder of Creator/StudioGhibli and director of ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies''.
74	** In the wake of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' mangaka Creator/KentaroMiura's passing, the team posted an [[https://twitter.com/GiIvaSunner/status/1395628572203634690?s=20 illustration]] of Wood Man dressed up as Guts to pay tribute to the late author.
75	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKB3IaUsYjE Blammed (In-Game Version) - Friday Night Funkin']]" is dedicated to the late rapper Music/JuiceWrld, being a mashup between the advertised track and "Lucid Dreams", down to his depiction in the rip bearing a halo and a pair of wings.
76	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
77	** All of his videos on the original channel (just under 1000) were condemned to this once the channel was terminated. The new channel has reuploaded most of them, but some were left out, possibly due to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Regardless, [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoegupHbp54sIEo0jTQ9wp8bMrIcYfdkR this playlist]] claims to have reuploaded them all.
78	** One notable example of a terminated rip is the final boss theme of ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' (a remix of [[Music/{{Yes}} Round]][[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure about]] using the Genesis synthesizer), which managed to reach over 60 thousand views before being taken down.
79	** Each album comes with a Google Drive mirror in case the album has no more download credits on Bandcamp or gets removed. After the disabling of both Bandcamp accounts in April 2024, the team put up a list linking to most of them (save the joke and SGFR albums, which have links on separate pages) on highquality.rip.
80	* MeaningfulReleaseDate: [[MeaningfulReleaseDate/SiIvaGunner A mainstay of the channel.]]
81	* MilestoneCelebration:
82	** To celebrate the [=SiIvaGunner=] 1,000th video, he uploaded... [[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Fire Temple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz2ifKgyey4 (Removed Version)]], which was the last video on [=GiIvaSunner=] [[AccidentalPun before his channel was removed]].
83	** January 9th, 2017, the first anniversary of the channel, saw a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPXZq_jc4xY video]] detailing a timeline of important events in channel's history. It also saw a special rip of "A Secret Course" from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', which is an updated version of a pre-[=SiIva=] Soundclown remix - the very remix that inspired Chaze the Cat to start [=SiIvaGunner=]. (It was removed from the actual channel for "violating [=YouTube=]'s policy on spam, deceptive practices, and scams", but is reuploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlPm9TcGj9E here]]).
84	** Not for the channel, but for another property. For the 20th anniversary of ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' and as the promised channel takeover day for 2020, The [=SiIvaGunner=] channel was converted into a digital radio station for 30 hours, with DJ Professor K hosting.
85	** The channel reaching its [[ArcNumber 7th]] anniversary was marked by a year-long celebration they called "The Year of Grand Dad".
86	* NewbieBoom: Despite steadily going on for almost 5 years at that point, the channel received a significant boom in newcomers in early 2021 after ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' blew up on the Internet, mainly due to the channel posting 3 high-quality mods of the game every Friday night. The memeability of the mods themselves may have also helped.
87	* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: The channel occasionally uploads rips that are created by the fans as opposed to the contributors. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGQMd-YUS5g "Main Theme]] - ''VideoGame/{{Superman 64}}''" rip is actually an instructional video on how to properly submit rips to the channel, which also includes a list of content that will not be accepted for various reasons.
88	* PromotedFanboy: A few regular contributors got their start creating unofficial "high quality rips" on sites like Soundcloud and [=YouTube=] before officially joining the team.
89	* RecursiveAdaptation:
90	** A few of the HQ rips are remixed or extended versions from later games/remakes, put back into the original game. Examples include "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9vMny_F1l8 Mt Dedede]]"[[note]]The extended version of King Dedede's theme heard in every Kirby game ''but'' the original ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo0rh0_ARY Savannah Symphony]][[note]]The ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' version of Stickerbush Symphony, remade in the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'' style[[/note]], "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-iR5dJoinA Heart of Fire (Alternate Mix)]]" [[note]][[VideoGame/HauntedCastle "Don't Wait Until Night"]], the track that was included in all subsequent remixes of "Heart of Fire" Aria of Sorrow onwards[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrcE3asNrmA Big Blue (Final Lap)]][[note]]the original ''VideoGame/FZero'' didn't have "final lap" versions of tracks; this is the infamous sax solo from the ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' version of the course[[/note]] or for a particularly over the top example, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY7GQnnD-Ds Title Flash]]"[[note]]The original ten seconds-long title screen riff from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars The Great Battle II: Last Fighter Twin]]''... followed by the rest of ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers]]''[-'-]s final boss theme, a much longer ''Great Battle II'' BossRemix medley that happens to open with Title Flash.[[/note]]
91	** The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNafst3tyd4 нет головоломки?]]" video takes after the real [=GilvaSunner=]'s video of the same name. Said name is itself a reference to a [=SiIvaGunner=] rip.
92	** [[https://youtu.be/QbehXK7uC3Q "Koopa's Road - Super M̸̌̊a̴͛̿█̸͌̑i̵̛͊█̷̾̓ 64"]] uses the melody of "Kensington's Domain" from ''[[VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries Henry Stickmin: Completing the Mission]]'', which itself is a SuspiciouslySimilarSong of the original "Koopa's Road" from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
93	* RoleEndingMisdemeanor:
94	** Le Ruse Bird was let go for uploading the infamously graphic "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" without permission from the rest of the staff. Le Ruse Bird did apologize and was allowed back into the group, but just as a normal ripper without direct channel access.
95	** An unidentified member of the team was fired for uploading "Environmental Noises - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''", which includes a real video of someone punching a pigeon, without anyone's consent.
96	* RoleReprise: KNIIO reprises her role as DJ Doctor K during the Professor K takeover, having first voiced her in the Jet Set Sona Challenge's [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=Sta8udjh7rI introductory short.]]
97	* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: The ''[=SiIvaGunner: King For a Day=]'' credits include a SpecialThanks to everyone who drew FanArt... immediately followed by a "Special [[BuffySpeak Unthanks]]" to "that one person that drew porn of Unregistered [=HyperCam=] 2". Likewise, the ''King for Another Day'' credits includes a "Special Unthanks" section that starts off with "Porn".
98	* ScrewedByTheLawyers:
99	** As of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irc6w7QLGb0 the Season 4 submission guide]], the channel currently cannot accept or host rips involving Morimori Atsushi, the soundtrack to ''Anime/ReCreators'', or footage from ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' explicitly due to copyright concerns. Other copyright-unfriendly sources (such as Music/{{Drake}} or Music/KanyeWest) are not banned outright, but still highly discouraged in submissions.
100	** The beginning of 2019 saw the channel being taken down thanks in no part to Sony Music Entertainment Japan filing 3 copyright strikes on them in one day. It would take the crew over a few months to get the channel restored by [=YouTube=].
101	** A more minor one here. The "It's a me, Mario!" - Super Mario 64" rip features Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario himself, giving a shout-out to the channel. Martinet was originally supposed to say "It's a me, Grand-Dad!" but his contract didn't allow him to do so.
102	* TrollingCreator: Obviously, considering it's a BaitAndSwitch channel. Even after the channel's true nature became well-known, the [=SiIvaGunner=] team still frequently messes with the fans both inside and outside the channel. Examples of this include references to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpQf37Way8 this rip]] and [[https://twitter.com/the8bits/status/869054236268646400 extending the Inspector Gadget event because of the fan backlash.]] It hasn't always worked out in the team's favor, though, as their attempts to turn [[JumpScare Green de la Bean]] into a major meme resulted in the fans giving the channel a flag strike.
103	* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Rumors persist that certain VideoGame/{{Undertale}} and VideoGame/{{Deltarune}} rips were contributed by Creator/{{Toby Fox}} himself, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Deltarune/comments/16n6iip/toby_fox_himself_definitely_made_this_siivagunner/ some citing the clarity of rips based on songs that had only been revealed shortly before]].
104	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
105	** The creator of the infamous Puzzle Room rip [[https://youtu.be/Z3Pr8tFsBlE?t=273 originally intended]] for the video to end with a photo of Kirby ripping his skin off. Since no such photo existed, they substituted one of a harlequin baby put through the [[http://kirby.nintendo.com/triple-deluxe/hypernova/ Hypernova Yourself filter]], and, [[NightmareFuel/SiIvaGunner well]]...
106	** Chaze the Chat explained in a [[https://twitter.com/ChazeOldTwit/status/792771717261168640 Tweet thread]] that the storyline following the reboot was originally going to be much different, with someone hacking [=SiIvaGunner's=] computer to add ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'' to it and ultimately making Tito Dick the lore's true villain. However, the fans eventually ended up liking ''Nutshack'' rips more than disliking them (against the team's IntendedAudienceReaction) and the Mr Rental arc seemed more compelling, so it was scrapped.
107	** The Mr Rental arc itself also went unfinished, the reasons why being explained at length in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVS5wsXyOxs "Behind the Scenes - Mr Rental: The Video Game"]].
108	** Chaze noted in a livestream that WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's takeover was ready to go well before the controversy that hit Website/ChannelAwesome just before it started, and the original ending for the takeover was completely different, but was scrapped in favor of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz_Hq2H-cUw "An AWESOME Announcement!"]], a video directly spoofing the controversy.
109	** Unregistered [=HyperCam=] 2 in the King for a Day Tournament was originally planned to be a MoeAnthropomorphism of the software called Unregistered Hyper''[[GratuitousJapanese Chan]]'' 2, but it was scrapped in favor of a robot design more directly based on the software's icon.
110	** King for Another Day had several scrapped concepts, one of them being that Law & Disorder was going to be a VisualNovel rep with Monika as a third team member, with her confined to a tablet screen the entire tourney. This idea was scrapped since the team still had concerns about Monika's popularity muddling the contest, and they just thought it would be funnier to represent ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' without her on the roster (with MissingNo. ultimately getting the game's soundtrack due to the game's use of glitches).
