More rambling about Wild Kratts Game Lore bc I can

On today's episode of "shit about the flash games that I am probably the only person alive to care to notice," let's look at a certain pattern in the tutorials that, whilst it may seem minor, may actually reflect something about the overall website (and if you have no clue what the f*ck I'm talking about, feel free to stay, it's so much funnier that way)

Ok so let's look at the first wave of flash games made by Chocolate Liberation Font (the dev-team behind them). In the tutorials of these games, (i.e. Cheetah Racer, Ride on Remora, Caracal Leap, Draco Glide, Kickboxing Kangaroo, ect), one of the Kratt Brothers would introduce the animal and objective before activating their Creature Powers. When they do so, we see a close-up of their shirt (oddly enough without the suit or gloves??), and we see the buttons on the Creature Power Suit with the Creature Disc insignia in the same color as the suit itself.

Some image examples as Exhibit A.

You get the picture.

Now let's move on to the games that were added to the website in 2012 by Pixelpusher; Flower Flier, (R.I.P.) Croc Hatch, Frogfish Feast, Aardvark Town, and Web-tastic!; The Wild Kratts Creature Math Suite that collectively made up a quintilogy game, Creature Roundup. These games features new animals and new Creature Powers, 3/5 of which were featured in Season 2 of Wild Kratts which had recently premiered on PBS Kids at the time. Like before, the Kratt Brothers introduce the creature, the objective and Activate Creature Powers. However, here is one difference;

When the screen zooms in on the Creature Power Suit post-activation, we can see the physical Creature Power Disc itself over where the PowerSuit button/creature insignia would be. Regardless of the disc's color, it would show up. As shown below in Exhibit B.

Quite the difference eh?

But wait, it gets even more fun.

In 2013, two games, Dolphin Dive, and Slither Run, also done by Pixelpusher, are released. They're not affiliated with the Math Suite, but are in the same league as them. In the tutorials where the brothers activate their Creature Power Suits, you realize that, just like in the games developed by Chocolate Liberation Font, the close-ups of the buttons don't have any overlays of the disc (using Slither Run here because Dolphin Dive wasn't a good enough example)

Put a pin in this, because this becomes relevant later.

Let's redirect ourselves to the habitats. You probably remember exploring the habitats, finding and learning about different animals, unlocking photos, and adventuring with the Creature Powers earned from the games. The site was updated to include some new habitats and Creature Powers, but let's exactly look into the details of that, shall we?

Here are the available Creature Powers to use in the habitats to unlock the photos for your adventure journal in the character creator page, Your Room. Rattlesnake Power, Draco Lizard Power, Cheetah Power, Kangaroo Power, Caracal Power, Squirrel Power, Firefly Power, Dolphin Power, and Remora Power.

Now, you may notice that the Creature Power Suits from the Math Suites (Hummingbird Power, Crocodile Power, Frogfish Power, Aardvark Power, and Spider Power) are missing here. In fact, they're not in any way able to use in the habitats. They (along with Dolphin Power and Rattlesnake Power) are also absent amonst the assortment of Creature Powers to use in the supergame, Habitat Rescue Game.

This is where I pull stuff out of my ass cause I'm fcking crazy everything comes together.

Notice how the only Creature Powers that aren't available to use in the habitats are Creature Powers that the brothers use in the games where the physical discs are displayed on the buttons. The only ones available to play are ones where the button is visible when the brothers activate that particular Creature Power.

Conversely, none of the Creature Power Suits from games developed by Chocolate Liberation Font have PowerSuit photos that the user can take with a camera once they complete Level 5. Only the games added by Pixelpusher (this includes the Math Suite, Dolphin Dive, and Slither Run) are, and 5/7 of those games are where the physical disc is placed over the button. Slither Run and Dolphin Dive are anomalies from this pattern, but the majority rules (especially since they were added in post after the Math Suite).

But wait. It gets even deeper.

You know how I said in the assortment of games where the physical discs are present in the tutorials, Dolphin Dive, and Slither Run are anomalies in terms of games that had unlockable photos in levels? You know what pattern they aren't anomalies of?

Yeah, the Habitat Rescue Game at the beginning of this post wasn't just bc the game is fucking peak (based on a show that's fucking peak). None of the 7 Creature Powers from Pixelpusher's update to the website appear in the supergame Habitat Rescue. Not a single. One. And none of the Creature Powers available in Habitat Rescue are from games where you can unlock a photo in the site from directly finishing Level 5.

In case this has been way too complex, let me break it down *Activates Lawe's Parotia Power*

Creature Power Discs earned from games where the physical disc is not shown on the Power Suits after the activation in the tutorial are available in Your Room and the habitats.

Creature Power Discs earned from games in which the physical disc is visible over the Power Suit button in the tutorials are available in Your Room, but NOT in the habitats or Habitat Rescue Game.

Creature Power Discs earned from games in which you must complete Level 5 to earn the PowerSuit Photo and Badge, regardless if they physically appear on the Creature Power Suit in the tutorial, do not appear in the supergame.

None of the games that show the physical button of the suit have collectible photos from directly playing Level 5, BUT all of them that do are available to access in Your Room, the habitats, and Habitat Rescue Game.

CONCLUSION: Whilst there are many anomalies and errors in the structures or patterns of the original flash version of the online Wild Kratts website (I'm sure many of you noticed the duplicate Martins in the Aardvark Town tutorial Jesus Christ), some of these inconsistencies have consistencies in their inconsistencies, even if it wasn't the developers' intention. With this, you could logistify several appearances or absences of certain Power Discs in certain games or pages. And to those of you, who like me, grew up with the flash games and were confused as to why you couldn't access all 14 Creature Powers in the habitats or in Habitat Rescue, hopefully this observation could provide good enough answers and closer after a decade.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

hello dear tumblr exuse this very long, very sleep deprived yap. today's topic: my pathfinder 2e character for the home brewed campaign that im in!! we earlier today/last night had just finished our 7th session and i need to just talk about my girl failure of a son.

the setting of this campaign is a city that im fairly sure is the size of a country (please do not come for me). its basically if cyberpunk was taking place in a world w/ high fantasy. i will probably talk abt the cool ass lore of this city later.

but the main topic of this essay/rant is my son: Noctis Shaylen. now he (referring to noctis) is at the time of this post a beastkin goblin at level 5. who is a multi-class dual gate (metal and water) kineticist and animal instincts barbarian. oh, and one last tiny thing to note: we are doing archetypes, the one i picked?? easy- vampire. you might be asking yourself: did this guy seriously make a catboy goblin who is both a vampire and a werewolf at the same time and also a blood bender? why yes. yes i did- and let me tell you that i maybe cringe but i am free.

i will.. when i wake up reblog this post talking about his whole ass lore because oh god its so much and i am very eepy- so stayed tuned in folks!! but until then uh- be good or something idfk. goodnight!!

OH ALSO i will also be talking about how this campaign is structured- maybe.. might do that in another post- we shall see... idk yet but fr thats all

Okay, so i have successfully been active on Tumblr for a full year, went through blogs, tags, explore, flame wars, you name it, and i have learned ALOT of things on here. Alot of good, and alot of bad. I am not going to stretch the truth, sugarcoat, or anything like that. Here’s everything I have learned~

Do’s and Don’ts on Tumblr

The Safe Zone

Shipping same sex characters. You get good notes on that.

Support LGBT+ in any way possible (and by support LGBT+, i mean LG. Cause B and T posts are surprisingly rare comparatively) (I MEAN STILL GO FOR ALL OF LGBT+, BUT JESUS CHRIST COMPARATIVELY I DON’T HEAR SHIT ABOUT B AND T)

Supporting women’s rights in any way possible. Alot of notes for that. Also you don’t look like a colossal douche that actually needs to die because fuck you for even thinking about suppressing other people’s rights, regardless of gender, sexuality, appearance or kinks. (last thing about kinks was supposed to be a reference on furries but ya’ll get the idea)

Anything about being an Introvert and it’s issues cause you will literally never ever hear anything about extroverts ever unless you DIG for it.

Anything about dying. Not actually dying, but wanting to die cause it’s funny (well...it’s supposed to be. It’s fucking confusing cause it’s literally gotten to the point where idk if i should help and send something encouraging and motivational to them or sit there and pretend it’s funny cause i’m clearly supposed to know when it’s a joke or not, but that’s a topic for another time)

Reblog or make posts about Overwatch or Yuri on Ice. (and when i say Overwatch i mean “TRACER IZ GAY CONFIRMED” because Jesus Christ there is literally nothing else about Overwatch that anyone will talk about like fuck. I don’t even like Overwatch but talk about Reaper being every teenage edgelord’s orgasm or Mercy being the best mom in the world or d.va being a fucking MLG PRO 360 NO SCOPE DORITOS MUNCHIN MOUNTAIN DEW GUZZLIN GAME GOBLIN or just something else oh my god) (Yuri on Ice is actually really-like SUPER good. I just don’t want anything to do with it cause i see it WAY too much, much like Cowboy Bebop, but that’s just me)

and most important, reblog or post about supporting ANY kind of Gender or Sexualities. Homo, Bi, Trans, Pan, you name it (Except Hetero cause apparently no one gives a flying fuck about Hetero. Hetero is boring and anything having to do with Hetero is considered forced so seems to me any and all things Hetero should fall off the face of the earth I guess...for real, gonna talk about equality on all sexualitites then gonna turn around and do this to Heterosexuality like cmon...how many times have i said Hetero? sounds weird now...)

The Don’ts

Do not post/reblog anything that has to do with even the possibility of a woman taking advantage of a man and saying that the woman is wrong. You get zero notes. And apparently that means you are scum too. Cause that could neeeeeeever  happen.

Do not post/reblog ANY OCs of a Male Crystal Gem. You get Zero notes and a mailbox full of anon hate.

Do not post/reblog anything supressing the rights of anyone. For example, saying a sexuality is invalid, or a gender is not a real gender. You get notes, don’t get me wrong, but you won’t like em. (Like for real don’t do this cause that’s raw and you know you are wrong for doing that. And if you skipped what i said before about supporting genders and sexualities and straight up did this then you are literally the worst, and people like you should be burning in hell.) (Yeah i made an Undertale reference. I don’t cringe at Undertale, it’s actually really good)

Do not post/reblog anything that has t do with Donald Trump unless it’s shitting on him. Like for real, it doesn’t matter what your views are for Trump, in a place like Tumblr, just don’t do it. It could be a shitty reason, it could even actually be a good reason, but just not here bud, tryin to help ya’ll on this. I mean unless you want 96% of Tumblr hounding your ass, don’t.

And last but not least,  do not post/reblog anything that has to do with Loli or the like. That is some Danger Zone shit. Please don’t. I’m not into Loli cause i’m not sexually attracted to people or characters looking like they just got off the Magic School Bus but please, don’t support, or bash, cause the controversy is WILD. So don’t even talk about it. 

All in all, from what i’ve seen, if you want easy notes, on a topic you can swing both ways on, talk about furries. Like dead serious you can bash on one saying they need to die, and then can do a complete 180 and “Arf Arf Yiff to Petsmart” and No one will question you.

I may or may not make another post like this next year but until then, Ya’ll enjoy Tumblr to the best of your abilities, and goodnight! Stay PC!
