“Chameleon Twist 2? Chameleon Piss Poo!” Really glad Nitro Rad’s keeping up with those Game Dude references.

Pretty much all of my N64 games have Blockbuster stickers on them. I think a store was shutting down where we lived, and my Mom just bought most of what they were trying to get rid of for me.

i love how you're like "please guys put batteries in the cartridge" 21 years later

I think you misunderstood the powerups . the X2 and X3 items don't increase your capacity, they multiply what you lick up. For example with X3 you catch 2 enemies, you spit out 6. As for the big head powerup, it makes your shots bigger.

chameleons don't change color to blend in, they change on their mood.

3:40 "His model vanishes for one frame..?? idk why"

Actually, Chameleons don't use their ability to change color to blend in, they use it to show mood, health, and communicate, but they don't actually use it to blend in. Would be cool if they used it as a sort of health bar though.

You're the most underrated KZfaqr I know. Doing all this stuff that no one else really tackles, you've given me hours of entertainment. I'll be watching you still when you reach 500k, which you will if you keep it up, and go even further beyond.

Well to be fair chameleons don’t change colors to blend in with the environment. They just change depending on their mood.

Absolutely love your reviews mate honestly when I watch your videos I feel like I am back in the 90’s. These platformers the old ones use to be everything back in the day.

8:20 Oh no! You're holding the N64 controller but it doesn't have a memory pak! My immersion is ruined!

If I wasn't already subscribed to you, that segment about the Japan Supply System logo would have done it for me. You've got a really unique and charming style of commentary and I really love it.

The reason none of the games did the "chameleon blending into their environment" is because chameleons don't actually do that. They have a natural colour that blends them into their habitats (like squirrels or tigers) and change their skin colour based on a number of factors. But we know for fact that they do not have cloaking abilities like say a mimic octopus. It's just one of those pop-biology things like lemmings being suicidal or ostriches burying their heads in the ground that just doesn't happen.

That Chameleon's face is going to give me nightmares. But it still is a shame that we won't get a Chameleon Twist 3.

We have a challenge to SunSoft: in Chameleon Twist 3, create a storyline in which Davy gets a swollen tongue. Imagine the drama of a vulnerable Davy The Chameleon, still persisting in his fantastical adventures, despite his infection. It needs to be in good taste (no pun intended), but we guarantee the Gaming world would be shocked, stunned and moved in the efforts to make Davy’s character more meaningful. We love Davy, but it’s time the Gaming Industry had a big shock for a change.

1:23 lol the Oh Oh Cartridge from the Garanikor creepy paste video

This was a game me and my brother sometimes rented from Blockbuster as kids. I remember thinking it was really cool, but couldn’t wrap my head around it and never got past like, the second level lol

I actually prefer the old model's better than the new ones. Just because a thing is more realistic doesn't make it cuter.

Chameleons don't change color to blend in, not at all. Some octopi do, but for chameleons it's mood related. They're like living mood rings. However! That could be a great game concept. You are a chameleon in an unknown world and something wants to murder you, so you must cleverly manipulate your own mood so that you can blend in and avoid detection. Maybe you must explore the environment and observe things that put you in specific moods?

1:24 AN EARTHBOUND CART!?! That should be on display!

Jokes on you, I laughed at Chameleon Piss Poo. 😎

It's bizarre to see that blob character from the first game actually look like a chameleon in the second game.

I was really happy you continued with the game dude references

Maybe someday a developer will realize the potential Chameleon Twist had.

make a third game where you play as a licker from RE

Yeah, the High Voltage Screaming Action was a reference to a trend from Japan at the time, however it somehow made it into the North American release.

I loved this game growing up. And even as an adult, despite the short length and overall lack of difficulty, I still really enjoy it. mostly for the super unique tongue mechanics.

I've used this channel to find obscure platformer games to play and your input on the games really communicates what these games are about.

Honestly it makes sense for them to not do that because in real life chameleons really only use their color changing ability to show their mood.

So you're telling me that you have a grappling hookshot and a parachute? ...Just Cause?

5:25 Rayman 2 really was amazing looking graphically for the time. Like showing Chameleon and Rayman back to back like that you almost wouldn't believe they are not only on the same console but came out the same year.

Those flying heads in 8:10... they look totaly like red Angry Birds.... in 1998 O_O

Wow, they made a sequel? What a *TWIST?* I'll see myself out

There is so much. God damn waiting. In Chameleon Twist 2.

Continuity error at 8:34. The controller does not have the memory card pack in the back of it.

2:59 ...Great region locking implementation Nintendo...

Man your videos are great, you really pull the nostalgia strings for me, these games were major rentals for me when I was a kid.

I see that flex with that earthbound cart.

Oh hey, how about that? They actually look like chameleons this time. Though it's still a shame they don't quite get the charmingly goofy eyes of real chameleons right.

This is one of my favorite underrated games, I was even the first person to speedrun it seriously, and I agree with most of the video author's complaints. In no way is this a perfect game, however I do think this is an easy-to-recommend game for fans of the N64. It's surprisingly fun, fun to look at, and has a nice soundtrack. It's a perfect playthrough when you've been exhausted by harder games on the system or are just looking for another N64 platformer to play. It's just a nice, short, casual game that will make you smile.

“None of these games did that” but Yooka Laylee did a ton of Chameleon powers. Except the tongue pole vault. So, almost works.

Imagine this if you will: A game bred between Chameleon Twist and the original Sly Cooper. A game with mild stealth elements, but predominantly a platformer. You have all the tools of the Chameleon Twist games at your disposal, but in addition to a button that when pressed gives you access to a color wheel of six colors. These allow you to change your color, and when standing on a floor or near a wall of comparable color, you become invisible. From there, you have to MGS your way through levels, licking up weak enemies and using them to take out stronger enemies, while using stealth to avoid them when you don't have the tools to take them head-on.

I just realized chameleons don't change colour depending on their environment, thats what dogs do.

I randomly thought of this game today... It reminded me of my dad... he pulled a dad move and rented a random game and brought it home for my brother and I so we forced ourselves to enjoy it out of respect... so strange that you uploaded this 3 days ago... never heard of your channel but glad I found it... keep up the great work!

NitroRad is probably my favorite reviewer. I found him at the end of last year, and I binged watched his videos, now I have to wait for new ones. Keep bringing those videos man. I love em!

1:23 LMAO that low key Earthbound cart just hanging out😂

his model vanishes for one frame..?? idk why I usually don't stop to look at that ninja texts but with you it's different. You're the best youtuber, man.

I played Chameleon Twist 2 first as a kid. We only rented the first one. There's soooo much nostalgia in this game for me.

Well, Chameleons don't change colors to blend into their enviroment, they change colors to show off their mood. It's a common misconception.

I have such nostalgia for this game. I had a blast as a kid playing this never able to save. The power up x3 turns every enemy you eat into a 3 you spit back. Big head turns enemies you eat into huge enemies when you spit them back. Loved using the tougne as a sheild around me in some enemy encounters to spit back so many enemies at once. Loved your review and all your content. Thank you

This was the first 3d game I ever played as a kid, I loved it so much

Holy shit, you still have that "Uh Oh" cartridge from that creepypasta episode of GARANIKOR! What a nice throw-back.

Oh yesss Silver Grapple gets mentioned at the end! Glad to see you still trying to make it relevant. Great gameplay AND music it has.

3:00 Damn, never would have thought of that

It’s been 2 decades since I’ve played, but pretty sure the x3 powerup meant that if you picked up 1 enemy, you shot 3, or any number of enemies you picked up would be shot x3.

"None of those games take advantage of what a chameleon can do, like blending into urine"

Chameleon Piss Poo is your funniest line yet

The big-head mode makes what you spitout slightly larger.

Maybe I played the first game, but I never knew there was a sequel

3:40 "his model vanishes for one frame..?? idk why" Saved ya all time, comments

1:22 I love how you kept the UH OH cartridge in your drawer.

If I remember correctly, the X3 makes it so you spit out three times whatever you got with the tongue, and the Big head makes it so you spit out bigger objects.

I wanna play C. Twist 1 & 2 now ^-^. Man, i love n64 era looking games. And hey that Kyle Hyde poster is tight, and then when that Hotel Dusk music kicked in, wow! Awesome video all the way.

I actually played this one when I was a kid! I didn't really remember it at all until I saw your video

Did not know it got a sequel. Nice videos, Rad!

Laught so hard at that Metal gear joke. The gameplay looks really interesting. Has a lot of potential.

Just in case nobody's ever explained it to you after 3 years, the power up that gives the chameleon a big head also increases the size of your projectiles. The x3 powerup triples everything eat. Eat 1 enemy, spit out 3.

That mushroom boss made me think of the mushroom people from The Elm-Chanted Forest. I wonder how many people even remember that movie...

I only had 2 as a kid, thinking it was the first and only in the series. Shows what kind've kid I was. Some yars back I saw the first one at an EB and snatched it.

Note: The Japanese version of the first game has more content. Including an ending for beating the boss rush. And a secret boss

CT2 was a good childhood memory for me. I enjoyed it. Such a different game

It still makes me glad to see your videos

Wait, this game has a sequel? Well that's something I didn't know (Also you bought the American AND Japanese copy of the game?)

I loved both of these games as a little kid. I remember getting my mom to rent them for me at Blockbuster for no other reasons other than it being a platformer and it being colorful

1:07 I laughed way harder on this than I should have

I remember as a kid the change in art style was the whole reason I never got the second one. And I LOVED the first one.

Stealth puzle platform as a chameleon grapling with the tongue? We need it

It's interesting to me that not all chameleons actually do the color changing thing, and apparently there's some ongoing debate as to whether it's for camouflage or communication or both. Meanwhile, all chameleons do the long ballistic tongue thing to catch insects but people hardly know them for that.

I'm really pleased to learn that the japanese version of this game kept the original character designs. I remember being super disappointed as a kid when I found out they changed the cute round guys into weird lizard guys. like I know it makes sense but ugh.

From what I remember of this game the "big head" power up made your spit attack stronger. Like I think it made whatever you ate larger as you spat it back out to deal more damage.

"his modeL vanishes for one frame..?? idk why" that's what that quick blip says so you don't have to pause it over and over to find it like I did.

I might be a little bias but I actually like that they look more like actual chameleons than whatever the heck those other things are.

11:34 That is the face you make when you just experienced a REAL trip.

If I remember right, the big powerup increases the size of enemies that you spit back out, and the 3x multiplier increases the amount of enemies you spit out by 3 times what you take in.

Chameleon Twist 2? Chameleon Piss Poo

I love watching your vids on old obscure videos that often nobody has ever played. But this? This is an old obscure video game I remember. I even rented it from Blockbuster. For all I know, the cartridge I played was in the video, lol.

Wow glad I’m still finding N64 games I’ve never played

Thanks for the review, man! I always loved that game when I was a kid, but seeing it in someone else's point of view, it definitely didn't age as well as I thought. Sometimes wearing rose-tinted glasses doesn't always prove your point of "why" you love a game so much, that's why we gotta have reviewers like yourself to point out your stance in an objective manner, so it doesn't seem bias in a way, shape or form. Also, I can't believe you didn't mention the soundtrack. lol Always loved the happy go-lucky music the game has. It just makes the game so much more enjoyable to plow through y'know.

01:07 I just love that inside joke, inside that joke

@Nitro Rad Chameleons don't change their color to match their surroundings, they do that involuntarily in response to external stimuli such as temperature & the proximity of potentially dangerous or delicious animals, if anything the color changes should have been employed as a health monitor, though that would necessitate additional accessories to define the characters apart from one another.

I went to a local video rental store as a kid and picked up a copy of Chameleon Twist from the bargain bin. Then I got home and opened it to see a copy of Chameleon Twist 2. I was only like... idk, maybe 8 at the time, but I felt like I was on drugs playing this game lol

I remember being introduced to this game by hearing the toy world's music used in Star Road, an SM64 hack.

Okay, I think the rental shop I rented this game from as a kid somehow had a Japanese version of the game in an American cartridge shell. The version I played looked exactly like the cuter one still in the style of the first. I have never seen the art style of the localized version. My mind is going crazy.

Excellent video man.

I remember renting this game from Blockbuster many times as a child. That soundtrack was my jam, too 😁Thanks for the memories! Awesome channel 👏👏👏 P. S. That Yakuza poster is badassss

I love your content! I've made both of your Chameleon Twist video English close captions, which can help people who want to translate/subs them into other languages (it hasn't published yet, you may want to prove them)

There is actually a game where you play as a chameleon trying to blend in with your environment. It's called: Spy Chameleon.

Hotel Dusk background music? Good choice man.

Thanks for the review. I was curious about this game since I find out it.

Chameleons don't change colors to blend in with the enviorment. They do it depending on temperature, humidity, mood.
