On December 26th, 2020, I made this Rhythm Heaven x Terraria "Munchy Monk 2" animation, and I threw in a TON of references relating to either community memes or actual gameplay progression.
Try to see how many references you can find. If you can't, I have an answer sheet down below:
Community Jokes:
- Goblin Tinkerer Reference:
- The Goblin Tinkerer gains more and more money as the video goes on. This references the joke about how the player spends all of their gold on the Goblin Tinkerer throughout the game to reforge their weapons.
- Guide Reference:
- After the Guide dies, he never returns. This is what it feels like when the player farms the Wall of Flesh… Y'all are so mean!
- Destroyer Reference:
- The Destroyer is known for killing all of the town NPC's all the time, and kills them all at 0:40. I mention it more during the Gameplay Progression Section of this post!
- Zoologist Reference:
- The Zoologist only has a ":3" face during her playing animation due to the joke of people who are fans of her being furries… She also has a little tail wiggle that I animated! Oh the Terraria community…
- Non-Terraria, Princess reference:
- The princess looks shy doesn't she? When I was choosing the names for the NPCs, I specifically chose a Japanese name for the Princess, because while animating her, I designed her emotions based off of Sumi Sakurasawa, from the anime "Rent-A-Girlfriend" (AKA, "Kanojo, Okarishimasu"). To be further inspired while animating her back then, I listened to the anime's ending theme on loop: "Kokuhaku Bungee Jump" by Halca.
Aside from the main character, NPC's instruments & the Zoologist… Every sprite that appears in this video is a created in-order of how they should appear throughout the player's progress throughout the entire game.
Gameplay Progression References:
- 0:05: In the very beginning, the player only has silver armor, and a Guide NPC to start. The player only uses a crafting table and a placable bottle to craft their potions.
- 0:16: Once the Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated, this allows the Dryad to move in. At the same time, this player defeats the Eater of Worlds, allowing them to gain Shadow Armor and enough NPCS to get their first Forest Pylon.
- 0:25: Queen Bee and Skeletron are killed, allowing the Goblin Tinkerer to move in thanks to Skeletron's defeat, and the player obtained the Sparkling Honey from Queen Bee, giving them the Honey Bee pet. Their potion crafting station has now been replaced by an Alchemy Station since that can be found in the dungeon. By this point, the player is assumed to have went to the underworld as well to retrieve the materials needed for Molten Armor.
- Fun fact: Since the Honey Bee pet is in the video, you can safely assume that the player is in Master or Legendary Mode!
- 0:34 – 0:36: The player throws the Guide's Voodoo Doll, summoning the Wall of Flesh and killing the Guide.
- 0:36: The Wall of Flesh has been defeated and Hardmode begins. The player has found the Bound Wizard, retrieved Adamantite Armor. The player is now "so fancy" and replaced the wooden platforms holding together the Forest Pylon, with stone platforms.
- 0:40: We all know that feeling when the Destroyer kills all of your NPCs.
- Back then, one of my constant on-going jokes that I loved was how the Destroyer killed the NPCs and decimated your entire populace, LOL. u/JJakeBright actually posted two of my memes on r/TerrariaMemes that I never posted in the Terraria subreddits about the Destroyer killing your local NPCs. Here are 3 memes I made about it, one of which is one I posted! 1, 2, 3.
- 0:44: The Destroyer has been defeated, giving the players materials to craft Hallowed armor and allowing the Steampunker to arrive! The other NPCs come back afterwards. The Guide never returns. Maybe the player is constantly killing the Wall of Flesh?
- 0:49: Plantera has been defeated! The player could have gotten Turtle Armor after defeating The Destroyer, but they chose to wait until defeating Plantera. The Zoologist moved in. Technically, she should have moved in near the beginning.
- This is probably the most "innacurate" section of the animation.
- 0:59: The Golem has been defeated, allowing the player to pick up Beetle Husks from the Golem and upgrading their armor to Beetle Armor! The Cyborg moves in. They could have technically moved in after Plantera, but maybe the player sped ran the Temple immediately after defeating Plantera!
- 1:10: The player is now in late-hardmode, completing tons of different other late-game focused tasks before tackling the Moonlord. One of which is getting Valhalla Knight armor from the last level of the Old One's Army. The player has now collected every NPC in the game, allowing the Princess to move in. In addition, the player has now upgraded their Pylon's platform to Golden Platforms, dropped by the pirates during the Pirate Invasion. The in-game text now says "Otherworldly voices linger around you…" which implies that the third Celestial Pillar has been destroyed.
- 1:20: The in-game text now says "Impending doom approaches…". The player does not have Luminite Bars to upgrade to Solar armor yet, so they stick with the Valhalla Knight armor.
- 1:30: The Moon Lord has been defeated! The player now has Luminite Bars and upgraded to the final armor: Solar Armor!
Again, it's been so long since I last made this. This has so many memes and references to the game, so I thought it'd be fun to share this again with new insights about everything!
