Hey - just an important reminder that you should NOT go after the creator, harass them, spam their levels with hate, etc. This should be common sense.

Generation Retro is a VERY creative level with lots of fun theming, but the creator just didn't do a very good job at building it in the editor. It's a random custom level that a kid dreamt up and worked hard on, and usually I would never hate on someone for doing that.

HOWEVER - this level is in a Gauntlet, which means millions of players are forced to play it. This basically means that the level is "official", and for that reason I wanted to dive deep into it and pinpoint why it's so hated - so new creators don't make the same mistakes. It's a charming level on its own, but an absolute trainwreck inside a Gauntlet.

I don't hate the creator and I don't hate the idea of the level. I hate the fact that RobTop scooped up a random 13 year old's level for a Gauntlet that will be played by a massive audience. Think of this video as "Why this level shouldn't be in a Gauntlet", and NOT "Why this level shouldn't exist".

I have a theory that "jajaja" is not laughing in spanish, the red alien is actually trying to ask you if you're jar jar binks, his long lost brother at birth. Sadly, because of his immense stutter, he can't bring himself to do it and he instead starts trying to kill you because he got frustrated

Never thought I’d see a grown man bully a 7 and a half year old video game level probably made by a middle schooler for half an hour

We need this guy as a personal trainer. He could point out so many problems in the life editor.

9:34 because key taste better than gameplay

this video is the equivalent of a shakespeare scholar critiquing a 7th grader's homework assignment on romeo and juliet for not being written with perfect grammar and understanding of the play.

You asked for theories, so here’s mine:
The red and blue aliens are brothers, and the blue one was always the better kid and their parents’ favorite. As expected, the red alien was jealous, so he kidnapped his own brother and brought him to his own part of the galaxy. The green aliens are his workers and are supposed to make sure the blue alien never escapes. He allows visitors so nobody is suspicious of him hiding something. That’s why he was all nice at the beginning of the level. But when the key is collected, it opens up the area where the blue alien was trapped. That’s why the red alien says “NOOO!!!” The red alien begins to search for the blue alien, and sends his highest ranked worker, the other red alien in the first boss fight, to take care of you. The blue alien knows that you’re in trouble, so he goes to save you. After the first boss is defeated, the red alien decides that he needs to take care of you first. That leads to the “level final.” The red alien then destroys the blue alien, which leads to you getting revenge for him once and for all, as you blast the red alien.

I really just spent ten minutes of my life writing a story on a YouTube comment. Welp

16:34 -Jajajaja, you have not win. You... DIED!!
-NOO!!

18:58 to be fair, the setup that You made used 2.1 triggers, which would’ve been impossible at the time it was made, as ”Generation Retro” was released in update 2.0. He probably could’ve used some spawn triggers that spawn some animation of the red guy moving to the player’s Y position, and then showing the laser, but the creator of this level said he was 12 when he made the level, so I honestly understand why He might not have thought of that, while making the level

I love the character developpement :

The red alien : "NOOOOO !"
The decoy alien : "NOOOOO !"
The friendly alien : "NOOOOO !"
The player : "NOOOOO !"
You after playing the level : "NOOOOO !"

Edit : Yes, I misspelled development, french guy here. I'm sori.

Fun Fact: The insert coin is not for aesthetic purposes, when the text pops up it's the level stealing money from the player's bank account.

If the biggest problem with generation retro is the fact that it is in a gauntlet, then it's technically robtops fault

0:22 “To the recent tap!!”
- a great person that is pushing 40s but also has a channel

21:36  bro said: 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

22:05 That's a reference to Super Mario Bros. In any level besides World 8, if you kill Bowser with fire balls you'll get the fake bowser guy instead.

10:43
I theorize that perhaps maybe the reason the alien yells "NO!" is that the blind jump just before is actually a trap set up by him, and he is actually upset that you survived his trap

5:00 Bro it cannot be that bad 🥀

19:24 the bullets sync if you listen closely

25:14 amazing sounds

I would never think a 27 minute video would be committed to complaining about a bad 2.0 level.
