First :D Edit: I honestly cannot believe that I said "episode 100" instead of 10 and didn't catch it in editing at 22:00

22:00 PJiggles’s mind has been so destroyed by Kingdom Hearts coasters he has forgotten how to count

Funny to me that Terra’s station has the Mickey emblems surrounding his it despite having by far the smallest connection to Mickey

Hollow Bastion is the final level in Kingdom Hearts 1, plus it is one of the very few levels that are Kingdom Hearts original

Man, the facts for Sora's stage sure were a rollercoaster of obscure trivias

There is actually a difference between Hollow Bastion and Dive to the Heart related to Steve’s mining mechanic The platforms are considered stone on Hollow Bastion and iron on Dive to the Heart Which I should add is dumb because Kalos Pokémon League (another stage made of stained glass) is considered a stone stage

Mega Man actually has something that depends on player color too!... sometimes His special effect on death is colored gray if it's a cpu playing as him, otherwise it depends on the skin he's using Also for some reason this only applies in actual matches, not training mode

His genuine anger at "Costers!" was PRICELESS.

Here's a small Sora fact: in his reveal video, Sakurai described Sora's seventh costume as "Wisdom Form" (from Kingdom Hearts II), but it's actually a cross between Wisdom Form and his Dream Drop Distance outfit, as seen in his third costume (basically it's his 3D outfit with Wisdom Form's color and symbols -- the "X" on his shirt is the clearest indication). I think they did this because they wanted a second 3D costume, but the game didn't have any alternate costumes that weren't Disney-related.

Keeping up with the themes, no matter where Sora is, Kingdom Hearts still stays as convoluted as ever. XD

As a Useless fact it would be cool to share how Sora's inclusion had some "Thirteens" around it, respecting Kingdom Hearts' love for the number 13: - Sora was released 13 days after the reveal trailer. - The version of the inclusion of Sora was 13.0.0 - If you count all DLCs and count Pyra and Mythra as separate characters, Sora is the DLC number 13. - The inclusion of Sora brought 13 New Spirits to Smash Ultimate, those being the 5 skins of Sora and the 8 Spirits from his Spirit Board. - The name of Sora's stage, Hollow Bastion, has 13 Letters in it (allthough this is a 13 already in Kingdom Hearts, as well as the name of the franchise "Kingdom Hearts" has 13 letters in it and the Middle letter of the name is the M, which is the 13th letter of the Alphabet)

I actually don't mind that Sora doesn't have many Disney references with his inclusion. Smash is a celebration of video games after all. That isn't to say I would've been against it. I'd just be indifferent either way they went. Does kinda show Disney's stingeyness with their properties though.

Fun fact: I'm a kingdom hearts fan and I can tell you, everything that you see in the actual Hollow Bastion bit of the stage is recreated in *meticulous* detail, right down to the actual in-game level design.

Fun fact The composer for kingdom hearts (yoko shimomura) also composed the music for the Mario and Luigi games

As a massive KH fan, I can say that Hollow Bastion's "story significance" is minimal, but it is definitely an iconic place and Smash recreates it with TERRIFYING accuracy. You could tell me they ripped the 3D model straight from KH1 and just made a few parts move and I would believe that. It's basically a 1-to-1 recreation.

20:27 right before Sora completely turns metal, just his eyes are still colored blue and it's terrifying.

the symbols on terra's dive to the heart are a wayfinder (the star looking thing), which aqua gives to him after the birth by sleep tutorial, and terra's mark, which is a symbol that everyone who trained at the land of departure has on their clothes. terra's mark is even in the center of the wayfinders that aqua made

Alternate title: Pjiggles goes on a coaster rant for 10 minutes

As Luigi, if you grab immediately after inputting a Dash Attack, his Dash Attack voice clip will play when he uses his grab.

I'm so happy to know that the origins of simple background aesthetics in a Kingdom Hearts stage in smash ultimate is as convoluted and confusing as the Kingdom Hearts timeline. Honestly, it's been perfectly represented once again; good job Sakurai

"I never want to talk about coasters on this channel again" Can't wait for Quote to get in smash with his stock icon being the design from the CS+ coasters

PJiggles having a mental breakdown finding the origins of the dive into the heart designs KH fans who memorized the lore: Pathetic

Actually, i think it’s not because of Disney’s stubbornness there’s no Disney in Smash It’s because the Smash team wanted to stay as strictly Video Game as possible, which meant staying away from Disney As for the fountain of memory things, it’s likely Smash just didn’t want to buy extra copyrights no one was gonna pay a lot of attention to during gameplay

I think having no Disney characters in Smash may have been a conscious discussion by Sakurai because it would break his rule of Smash being purely being a video game crossover.

19:34 I was going to go nuts if he didn't mention sephiroth's arrow when he uses his up-special, but he remembered...

I still think that the lack of Donald, Goofy and Mickey aren’t the result of Disney meddling and more the Smash team wanting to avoid people using it as proof that characters like Goku or Spongebob could get into the game. They probably wanted to be 100% absolute on their vision of “only video game characters” in-game. I think the Keyblade having the Mickey emblem is just for the sake of accuracy to the design. Removing it would kind of be like removing the M from Mario’s hat.

I actually think its the other way around with Disney in smash. Sakurai wanted as little as Disney since Disney is an animation company not a video game company. The Mickey chain would be video game original since its on Soras key chain. On top of that when crediting Kingdom hears Disney has to be involved no matter what

5:07 Ok I have never seen that clock before and my dumbass thought Sora was holding a Sniper Rifle

The origin behind the Dive to the Heart artwork in Smash is almost as complicated as the plot to the Kingdom Hearts games

The Dragon Quest music being non remixed is probably intentional due to the composer being notoriously against the orchestral versions being used outside his concerts which was why the trailer for Hero uses the orchestral versions but the in game smash songs are the midi versions. This also makes Hero's trailer one of the few to use music that cannot be heard in smash alongside Little Mac's trailer, Terry's (with arashi no saxophone) and Jokers

There's one more fact about Sora that you don't know about, if you have Sora holding a Killing Edge or a Photon Sword and do a forward Smash attack, he'll use it with a back hand a good reference to Ventus since he wields his Keyblade back handed

Literally popping off at the Rhythm Heaven music

Loved all of the Rhythm Heaven music dude

The stage trivia, is as confusing as the actual kindom heart's game

19:49 The arrow specifically looks like the movement arrows that appear when you need to move over something that doesn’t involve the normal walking animation, like jumping over something, walking over a tightrope, etc.

9:21 THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO F*CKING HARD! 😂

Pjiggles: i swear to god this is going to give me a mental breakdown Me who play kingdom heart: you'll get use to it

"Cause of death: kingdom hearts" is one of the most relatable things I've ever seen in a pjiggles video

7:06 Just a couple of things about this general "Disney acting strange with licensing" section 1. I find it very hard to believe that Disney would opt out of advertising their cartoons to the largest audience in the gaming sphere at no cost to themselves. I assume that, once the Smash legal team was able to haggle Sora for a reasonable amount of money, they decided to not even bother attempting to license hard Disney properties due to the insane cost that it would take. Disney is not the kind of company to straight up refuse to place their IP on certain things for incredibly dumb reasons. The most likely answer is that their shit just costs far too much to license. They could obviously had just given Smash the rights for free, but its Disney, so its not going to happen. Keep in mind that Disney and Nintendo have a very 'cold' relationship at the moment. As such, licensing between the two would be incredibly taxing due to both parties wanting to get the 'better deal.' Contrasting this is Nintendo's relationship with Bandai Namco or SNK. These companies already have steady business relationships with Nintendo, so their immediate goal when licensing material isn't immediate profit. 2. Licensing isn't as simple as just two companies giving each other a thumbs up. A legal agreement (typically following a good couple months of intense legal discussions and bargaining) must be drafted to license the material. Furthermore, its not like a license gives the receiving company free reign to use the IP in every single field that it operates in. An IP license (at least one made by gigantozoid companies like Disney) is typically very strict about what can be made with them. A license to put Mickey Mouse on a lunchbox doesn't mean you get to put Mickey Mouse on a backpack. The coasters were likely the idea of the cafe managers, who I assume had basically no power to request any alterations to the license to include the coasters. The pin badges and posters for sale in the cafes were clearly a more involved portion of the collaboration between Square Enix and Disney, so they could have the Disney characters on them. Why would Disney would allow their stuff to be used on pin badges and posters, but then arbitrarily draw the line at coasters? In short, Disney's licensing decisions aren't petty, stingy, or nonsensical. They're just trying to squeeze as much money out of everything as humanly possible.

Love how majority of the confusion is from Disney effing around for no reason XD.

Both Disney and Squenix are notoriously difficult to work with when it comes to their own properties, so it's nothing short of a miracle that Sora ever made it into Smash. Ironically, it was Nintendo, the absolute strictest company of all in terms of copyright and IP protection, that made it possible. I dunno if this is a case of rivals overcoming boundaries together, or three bulls running against the same brick wall.

I kinda assumed the added license to likenesses of donald, goofy and mickey wasn't worth the cost and would only further the complications of deals

I never thought I’d see coasters being use in fricking Super Smash Brothers 💀

I’m glad that FF7R got some representation in the form of Sephiroth’s tiny arrow having the same scheme as the FF7R UI for blade dash/Octaslash. Granted, it’s a VERY minor inclusion, but it’s something.

The funny thing about the clock is that you can buy it as a normal sized wall clock with all the Disney imagery intact.

STILL FEELS like a dream come true to this day

Whenever PJiggles uploads it's always a momentous occasion

Inkling can also change the color of a Kirby attack depending on a character slot even if it's kinda different because you don't actually choose the color

In signature Kingdom Hearts fashion, some things are exceedingly confusing (dive to the heart portraits in this case)

Makes sense that there'd be confusing facts on a video mainly about Kingdom Hearts.

4:20 PJiggles:*Says the name of the total new character Sakurai must’ve made up.* Me:I know what I must do.

I love that Kingdom Hearts merchandise and Smash representation is almost as needlessly complicated as Kingdom Hearts itself.

I've got one where you have to find what characters have alike: Joker, Pikachu, Toon link, Mewtwo, Marth, Lucina, Sephiroth, Young link, Greninja, Roy, Chrom, Kirby, Shulk, Sonic, Pichu, Snake, Ness, Link, Sheik, Rosalina & luma, and Jigglypuff.

Sora's shoes could've been their own character. They're that big.

If I recall, Sora's Station of Awakening with the raft and the fruit was also used in the KH concert. I find it neat that the Inklings match the player colors, albeit out of order and red swapped with magenta probably because Splatoon doesn't have red ink and red ink wouldn't look very pg. And I'm surprised the Inkling's ink makes Timeless River Sora's face disappear since those usually at least keeps the eyes of the characters affected, but there's probably some weird quirk with that skin. I need to see though if TR Sora has glowing eyes for Final Smashes or parries

"PJiggles: Died of Kingdom Hears." Man, just wait until you hear about how many of the exact same guy appear to fight you in the third game.

Of course the Kingdom Hearts stage has some ridiculous origins. Like the app that is canon to KH3

the station of awakening's are collectable art work from Melody of Memory

Xion got her name from the naming convention Organization members have where they take their true form's name and scramble it after adding an X. Sora -> r o X a s. (Cause X is their letter. And it's also the Greek letter for 'key'. The X-blade they're trying to forge is the ultimate 'key'-blade) But because the Organizasion wanted wanted a backup keyblade weilder for their plan they created a fake one using Sora's memories of Kairi after Namine stole them (long story), cause memories are super important in KH. She was Experiment Number One or No.1. Or No.i, cause Roman Numerals/ Greek Alphabet are also important. So add an X and you get Xion. It also sticks to the water naming convention that the female characters have. Kairi means sea in japanese, nami from Namine means wave in japanese, Aqua is Latin for water. Shio from Xion (Shi-on) means tide in Japanese. But the saddest part about her name is how the 'i' in her 'name' is written. It's like an imaginary number. She's a replica. Forged from someone else's memories. When she dies everyone forgets she exists.

The fact that Delfino Plaza takes a minimum of 6 minutes to complete exploring 8/9 of the landable areas in Delfino Plaza, is a useless fact.

I think the reason Disney did not allow Donald and Goofy in Smash is because they are not video games characters. They originated from a cartoon and Sakurai mention that smash is a celebration of video game icon. If they added in smash then people will say "How come they allowed Donald and Goofy but not Goku" also that will break one of Sakurai rule.

Hey remember about inaccurate character portraits? I found one in Melee with red Bowser. The portrait shows red Bowser having red eyes but in-game they're actually blue. Strange isn't it?

Sora tecnically uses Peter Pan's fairy power in his second jump So there are 2 Disney references.

16:39 actually the side special only automatically attacks if you press B before the second and third attack start, if you just press B once, you can control the direction of the second and third one regardless of the opponent(s) near you

Didn’t know I missed 90 episodes of Useless Smash Facts.

The confusion surrounding the Kingdom Hearts coasters is a very similar experience to trying to understand the Kingdom Hearts plotline.

the kingdom hearts franchise is owned by Disney and that included all original characters, keyblades and worlds, also, the reason why mickey, donald and goofy weren't allowed in smash is because they do not originate from video games and sakurai himself said characters that do not originate from video games are not allowed to be in smash, that includes video game versions of non-video game characters

9:22 Rest in Piece Pjiggles you will be remembered

This was my favourite "what do they have in common?" yet. Wild how many good ones hide in this game's design.

So you're telling me that the Stained Glass Artworks are just Giant Oversized Coasters?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the scrubbing of Mickey, Donald and Goofy wasn't ENTIRELY Disney's mandate: Sakurai has stated that characters with origins outside of gaming are never going to be a part of Smash. And I guess Dracula KINDA flouts that rule, but clearly Disney's flagship characters are a different beast than Bram Stoker literature.

Sora is in smash. Cue the flying pigs.

If you hold the button after the first charge of sonic blade, sora will *lock-on* to the opponent and will charge towards them, hence the name *lock-on*

PJiggles could post an image of random people on Twitter, and in less than an hour someone would figure out that what they share in common is they all have the same favorite food.

Assists triggering the Stamina Easter Egg makes sense, since your party members in KH can theoretically land the killing blow... At which point the same effect occurs. Team members not triggering it, or the pitch-shifting based on size, are oddities though.

That coaster fact was a wild journey thank you for suffering that research for such an interesting useless fact

i love that all the music is rhythm heaven

“I swear this is going to give me a mental breakdown.” Welcome to the world of Kingdom Hearts

Loving the Rhythm Heaven music in the background!

This video is a good example of how ridiculous the kingdom hearts franchise gradually has become, if you pay attention to the names of the games you can clearly tell that this series has lots of weird not number title games, basically the most recent game besides melody of memory was 3 despite the fact that it's like the 13th instalation in the series, as well as all the relations and ridiculous references such as the coasters is really crazy and convoluted. Don't get me wrong even tho it's crazy convoluted and weird I still absolutely love this series and highly recommend it to everyone, just play the games in order of release and you'll be fine, because that's the order the story was written, not linear no no, release dare wise

I'd imagine stage hazards would also encompass any visual distractions, since in competitive matches, even the smallest thing could throw you off your game.

1:46 The pure joy in Sora’s face

"The artwork in the background of a super smash bros stage comes from a coaster" ... KINGDOM HEARTS! HOW CAN YOU BE MORE CONFUSING THAT YOU ALREADY ARE?

To clarify: Disney's business practices are just as confusing as the Kingdom Hearts series that they helped create. Sounds about right

Yooo I love the rhythm heaven music playing in the background

My favorite part of the video is the rhythm heaven soundtrack playing in the background

regarding your question about the significance of Hollow Bastion, it's actually one of THE MOST important worlds in Kingdom Hearts. 1) it's the place where the Emblem Heartless were originally made (any Heartless that isn't just a black thing with glowy yellow eyes is an Emblem... named for the X'd out heart logo on them) 2) it's the place where all but a few of the Final Fantasy cameo characters are from in Kingdom Hearts 3) it's the second-to-last world in KH1, the second (and hub) in KH2, and an important world in many games in the series. 4) it's the world that the main girl of the main games, Kairi, is from 5) it's the base of operations for the Disney villains in 1 and the former base of operations of The Organization (the villains from Chain of Memories forward in the series) so yeah... the only place that might compete for importance is MAYBE Destiny Islands (Sora's homeworld, and the homeworld of the series's villain)

the stained glass/clock/COASTER fact is the magnum opus of this series

Another little-known useless fact: Ryu and Ken have their own unique perfect shield sound effect!

"I play Kingdom Hearts" "What does that mean?" "It means he's afraid of coasters"

Welp JPiggles went to the Dark trying to find the origins to the Characters’ Station of Awakening.

Today's episode: PJiggles gets his first taste for how absolutely confusing and convoluted the kingdom hearts franchise is

OH MY GOD EVERY SINGLE MUSIC CHOSEN FOR THE VIDEO IS A RHYTHM HEAVEN MUSIC I LOVE YOU

"I swear to god this gonna give me a mental breakdown" is how it feels to try and understand Kingdom Hearts lore.

I have left this video with an uncomfortably in-depth history of drink coasters made in 2017 if that isn't the most useless of smash facts, then I don't know what is.

Kingdom Heart is confusing even when not related to the games, even he tripped over it.

It wouldn't be Kingdom Hearts without every minute detail being convoluted to heck and back

your use of rhythm heaven music triggers my fight or flight. remix 9 got me tapping my screen like a ds

The fact that Pokémon or Assists can also trigger the special stamina transition for Sora is not strange to me, because this references the summoning ability Sora has in the Kingdom Hearts games. It’s basically the same thing, but with gaming IPs instead of Disney-owned IPs. It would be cool if a teammate could trigger it as a reference to partners, except in most games, the final blow to a boss can only be landed by the player. In Kingdom Hearts II, it was either a magic spell or the end of a combo that dealt the final blow. The rest would do nothing, and King Mickey can’t kill a boss. It has to be Sora. In CoM, Cloud was a usable summon, so it would be cool to homage that. Finishing Ursula with Cloud is still the most batshit crazy thing ever.

I don’t even like Kingdom Hearts or Sora and I was impressed with the amount of love and detail they brought to him in smash. But seriously PJiggles are you okay dude? That must have taken you forever to track down each of the murals for Sora. I hope people appreciate you’re sacrifice that you made for f***ing coasters
