Thanks for making all of those secret endings public. For ones who don't know, Kaizo Trap had a bunch of secret endings that could be reached through annotations. But since KZfaq killed them, those ending became inaccessible. So the author made them public.

seeing the reaction of newcomers is always nice, welcome to a lost adventure of youtube's past

Rewatching this when it became public, I noticed something I missed before: the game glitches out because they don't have the right key (they end up needing the black one and having to go get it), they're walking backwards through the worlds, and without stopping at the spring they'd keep going into a world that doesn't exist; the whole thing freezes before they can take the step that would actually cause the problem. Then creepy glowing eye man ends up in the Minus World anyway, keeps going, and eventually all bets are off as the game starts loading shit from random places in memory based on instructions that assumed sensible level structure. I'm not...really sure how accurate this is to what I wanted to point out, but. It seemed like a neat detail.

the first ending is marked for kid despite it private, wtf KZfaq. -May 9th 2020

To narrow it down for people still coming through, if you hit the credits sequence that mainly consists of the word "dead" repeating over and over while Faith No More's "Surprise, You're Dead!" plays in the background, you've gone too far.

this is insane, how on earth did you manage to recreate what a fever dream feels like in *video form*?

OK, this one is really messing with my head... Also, after seeing the original animation quite a while back... I had no idea this was a thing...

1:44 - That sound gave me goosebumps...

(I wrote this 3 years ago, so I'll clarify more here) So I know these videos are heavily inspired by different things in the mario Franchise, mainly the rom hacks of Kaizo and ACE and TAS, which this leads me to believe this was most like a wrong warp the BOY discovered by the corrupted credits sequence and did arbitrary code execution. At first the credits play normally up until the point where the ending was suppose to trigger and at first BOY is still in the system (by the boss battle from the main video) so BOY must've had a plan to get GIRL and themselves out. So the game glitches out because they don't have the correct key and they end up needing one and having to get it so BOY takes over by freezing the sequence and taking himself out of the equation, and tries to write some code in empty space (2:00) to store the code elsewhere in RAM to execute the ACE exploit later to get a new key. They're walking backwards through the worlds, and without stopping at the spring they'd keep going into the next world in the credits sequence. When the credits restart you notice it was the first world, heavily corrupted and it keeps going with all the worlds eventually placing GIRL in the sequence alone but then it loads a broken world at (3:56) and an underflow occurs, since she doesn't stop at the final world and the game keeps going with reading garbage data as world data. The game continues to read RAM and ROM data as the credits in the background causing broken worlds and tiles to appear during this sequence. This buffer underflow of the amount of data trying to be read as valid worlds causes to many sprites to load up at once and so the game hits a sprite limit and restarts due to the amount of locked springs on screen and with that it might have created an entry point to the ACE exploit due to the overflow of sprite data. So we got credits underflow and the sprite overflow clobbering the RAM of the game working together as an entry point for the ACE exploit that BOY created. Returning from this restart and trying to execute tons of garbage code from the credits underflow and sprite overflow, the game tries to place GIRL at the boss sequence of the BOY, the game detects the error and tries to restart her at the beginning of the game due to access violations in the ROM perhaps due to BOY's manipulation attempts at ACE. Due to the underflow/overflow the entire level map is completely trashed and now a corrupted level is loaded and it's returned to the gameplay loop. The BOY leads the GIRL through a series of corrupted tiles and paths to most likely land them at an entry point in the games ROM to execute arbitrary code and force a key to spawn in a location and resume the credits, but we need to return back in order to prevent the game from crashing entirely. This could be the reason why their coordinates are read at this point.(5:35) They lined up just right that the subroutine the game is going through ran through their positions as code and it jumps to another part of the ROM perhaps leading to a return instruction. Leading through the trippy colors and sounds, due to another error that tries to restart the game. This whole exploration stuff is similar to the Super Mario Land exploration glitch where you explore the memory out of bounds as level data to write a byte to a point of RAM that causes the credits sequence to trigger. (See Retro Game Mechanics Explained on the subject). The bit after is the game trying to execute the code and get back to a stable point by returning from subroutines and going through more hoops in the games ROM, the code lines up just right which leads to (6:18), the gameplay loop lands right in the middle of the broken credits sequence which is still loading more garbage data and worlds, but now the ACE exploit has triggered. The underflow/overflow and memory exploration was enough to write some code to make a valid level for GIRL to play in, and the game is returned to the credits sequence once execution returns from the restart earlier. The GIRL then goes through this level that was fabricated and finds a key, which then returns mostly everything to a stable point and the GIRL reunites with the BOY and the credits sequence resumes normally by landing in a same spot in the ROM so that it doesn't crash again, which is why the text on screen is a bunch of code, this is the code that became stable for the credits to continue. Just in the time for the backgrounds and worlds to line up again to the valid worlds. (8:20) The worlds and data are now in the normal range, but the underflow/overflow caused way too much corruption, the sound engine is completely trashed, and the rest of the credits sequence is safe from underflow due to having a valid key. However the damage was already done, by the time the reach their house with the credits mostly played out, the underflow trashed most of the data in the ending credits, which causes the final crash at the end.

The hidden annotation is between 0:00 and 9:18 for anyone having trouble.

still one of the scariest non-horror videos i’ve ever seen. although this is animated it feels so real

"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this..." Between all of the freaking memes in the annotations in trying to get to the next secret ending, I just want to say that this is the most amazing animation ever. I too, was rickrolled by the red spring.

What's better than a secret ending hidden in a box? An even secreter ending hidden in a secreter box!!

5:35 the way he gets nervous about her...

This needs to be made into a game already! I wouldn't care if it was a $60 game with 2 hours of gameplay, take my money!

Fun fact: If you used Annotations Restored for KZfaq, hope you enjoy the ride.

What most impress me is not only they managed to recreate perfectly many visual and "engine" glitches, but also creepypasta stuff. Amazing job.

8:18 left ear : can't defeat airman right ear: creepy glitch sound

the dead animations are too brutal now i can have nightmares

Thumbs Up if you got rickrolled.

My KZfaq history's gonna be hard to explain now, ain't it?

Does anyone else find the section from 2:00 through to 2:45 relaxing? It's like I could listen to it while going to sleep.

The second secret ending has more views than the first. What universe am I in?

The sprites labeled "COCONUT" are a nice touch.

Hidden stuff is hidden.

1:31 my sleep paralysis demon when he sees that im depressed

Holy shit, I'm so pissed that I've missed out on this, I really liked that first animation and didn't know that the rabbit hole goes even deeper. Bumped out that annotations are dead.

Love how she navigates through the glitchscape like a speedrunner abusing the code

Creepy considering this link caused my system to mess up. Literally. All the tabs and links started blacking out. There was flickering and black bars everywhere. That was after I had refreshed the page a couple times though, then it happened for all my tabs. Had to restart my browser.

Welp, got it yesterday. A little tip: Don't be looking for annotations that stand on the screen for longer than three seconds. Also, it's pretty well hidden, this is where getting to the next ending gets hard.

ZhugeDOS. GlaDOS reference? Oh, can I love you even more Collins.

Oh my god I just noticed the faint picture at 3:57 is rick astley

I still come back to this years later because the type of effect applied to the music is actually incredibly relaxing to me, like I'm asleep in the middle of the void. I wish I knew how you did it!

I gotta say, I like this playlist. The theme is strong, and most of the selections are worth listening to in their entirety before continuing the hunt. Thanks for the unexpected fun, Guy! Great work as always!

This hits me in so many levels. I don't often like or favorite stuff, but this has such a unique essence. I feel like this wants to tell more than the codes it has hidden

5:35 The way he starts getting nervous when she takes to long to follow him 🥹

Imagine stumbling upon this at 3 AM in the morning on your PC in 2017, while you're trying to find all the secret endings

I must say, I love all the little side-notes which were put in, frame-by-frame. For example, the hex code at 5:31 ! Thanks for producing a series which is both enjoyable to watch time and again, and to decipher all those tiny little bits.

I first saw the original Kaizo Trap probably the week it came out, I absolutely loved it. I felt the emotion, loved the animation, and I was crushing on a girl back then and just really almost cried at this video. I am 21 now, and I just realized there were secret endings and oh my god is everything great. You put SO much more work into this than I ever knew, and I'd like you to thank you for this amazing, one of a kind experience. Nothing, ever, could top this. Now if you'll excuse me, it's 4:19am right now, I need to go die in endless nightmares. God this second one was so scary to watch at this time.

oh man, i wasn't able to recognize the full artistry of this project when i first discovered when i was like 15, but i only just now noticed that you have airman ga taosenai playing muffled in the background towards the end which confirmed my theory rewatching this that the repeating 何回やっても at the start of this was a direct nod to airman ga taosenai. what a truly beautiful and incredible love letter to the kaizo genre and culture, the direct nods to TAS and everything. thank you for this masterpiece, really. i'm just happy i was able to catch this little easter egg even though i'm sure you jampacked way more than i could even begin to understand in the whole project, my god

Oh man, this one had like fifty million labels and all of them linked elsewhere. Your patience in making and linking them, as well as setting up all the codes is astonishing! You rock

Im in love with these secret endings' comments sections

The translation of あなたは脱出することはできません!, according to google, is "You will not be able to escape".

4:55 creeped me out because... She’s looking at us

何回やっても　何回やっても… 感慨深いですね

I hate to be that guy, but how's RBZ? I wet myself a little when I started getting notifications from you again.

So was this common, then? Did we all have dreams like this as kids? The night after we played too many video games?

This is onda of those endings that i always wanted to see in a videogame. Thanks for make my dream come true

The first segment with 'We never change' is so depressing and yet so addicting to listen to. He looks so lonely.

8:18 ah yes, airman *terrifying airman jumps flashback intensifies*

I Remember I loved this animation so much that I shared with everyone I knew. I got so into this (I even draw a fanarts) , that someone buy me the Kaizo Trap Download Pack (I was so poor to buy it myself) and was the best gift I've ever got 'cause I searched for every code, every secret and was so exited ... maybe I overreacting but little things like this give me life. Thanks you for make it public this one was my favorite ending.

going back through to actually finish the videos. And seeing the girl's eyes widen as the thing returns for her boyfriend is terrifying.

Oh bomb!! Appreciate the uploads. So many awesome vids I'm just seeing

1:48 Friendship hug!!!!

Im here after to 5 years! This is a masterpiece of the past of youtube! The first video that I loved and totally marked my childhood! - 30/Sep/20

This is honestly probably the most interesting of the secret endings!

So glad you upload again :) i really like the hard work you put into your videos! I can tell that you took alot of time to make them in these 3 years you didn't upload 😊😊

54+ annotations and you couldn't make them automatically open a new tab in the browser?

God I love this modern spin on Orpheus and Eurydice story

Can I just say, this video is a masterpiece. Thank you.

6:47 Digital Love listening at the left ear... Nice

The old comments remember me the annotations

(5:56) It seems that Stanley couldn't keep his hands to himself.

I like the use of Neil Cicierega btw. It blends in so well that it took me a few times to notice it.

Lol, I can't believe it, He BACK!!! PZL don't stop making these THOSE ARE TREASURE!!

Oh my gosh you linked to a ProtonJon video! I know that might seem minor, but I'm always so happy when I see another person also likes his videos.

Never gonna give you up...

Your comeback made me subscribe

This was so AWESOME! Thanks for all your work! ^_^

CANT DEFEAT AIRMAN OSU! REP RESENT 8:29 EA-MAN ga taosenai yo ano tatsumaki nankai yattemo yokerenai ushiro ni mawatte

Seriously. EVERY time I see this or anything related to it, there's something new. This time it's that in the scene where they meet up at around 5:38, their X coordinates are exactly two units apart. This tells you that the characters themselves are 2 units wide since they're as close together as possible. It even seems to line up about right with the top left corner being (0,0) if you assume that the character's position is measured as the bottom center of the sprite (as might be expected for a platforming game), although the imprecision inherent in animation vs. an actual pixel perfect game executing throws it off a little.

For some reason, I really appreciated Digital Love being in this ending as the girl navigated the glitched maze. It seems...appropriate.

this still gives me the creeps, damn good series

3:01 did i hear "Fuck off"?

4:09 My first Geometry Dash custom level be like.

There's something about the low quality audio on 1:57 as if you're using some really old headphones or poorly treated headphones that is just really relaxing to me

I don't know what's worse: The horrifying glitchy visuals, or the fact that I keep getting trolled by video annotations.

2:02 is T-Pose Tuesday

so many links!! i'm going to be stuck here I while huh :(

oh damn, I was enjoying the random videos until I found the next ending D: (awesome videos, I'm expanding my favorites list! xD)

sometimes the scariest things are the ones that don't outright scare you

4:57 empty levels on vvvvvv be like

Fui assistindo os créditos inteiros do ending 1 e convertendo todos os códigos só pra clicar na mola dos créditos e chegar aqui haha

when i heard about the secret ending, i had to start, when i discovered that the rabbit hole went deeper, i knew it was time to jump right in. this is going to be crazy, and i love it

The way that the clipping through walls and other glitches were animated felt way to real to be just some animated KZfaq video

Well, I searched through the source code of the page and collected all the annotations. Then I made an HTML with all links to videos the annotations lead to. Then I just clicked them until I got the right one. Is that the right way to solve the puzzle? :)

I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here story wise. Is this like an alternate ending where they end up stuck in the glitchy programming forever?

I just found and extension for chrome that reenables notifications, this is amazing

i'm not even mad for clicking probably every single hidden thing. there are some chill tunes there

All kaizo trap™ copies are personalized

Me at the end where it says continue: why is it Mario, WHY IS IT MARIO??!

I really like the distorted airman ga taosenai in the end.

Wow no imaginé que la animación estuviera hecha con sprites, mis respetos amigo

2:32 we out here fuckin t-posing

Recuerdo la primera vez que vi este video. Me dió un puto miedo... Ya que recuerdo muy pero muyyy bien que dejé de mirarlo, apague la pantalla y el video seguía sonando (hablamos de una epoca donde ni existía youtube vanced) y me dió un susto, desbloquee el celular, y el video ya estaba pausado. Entonces dije wtf, abrí el administrador y cerré youtube. Y eso fue aún mas aterrador, el video seguía reproduciendose. Me asusté la verdad y reinicié el celular y todo volvio a la normalidad. Fue una experiencia rara, pero el formato de los sonidos tipo creepypastas hizo que me cagara del susto xd

man, i'm brazilian but i love your animations, i don't want to discourage you are very good at what you do

can't wait for next secret ending!
