Hey, look, I KNOW I just covered another Season 1 ending rip recently with Memey Hill Zone, but I promise this'll be the last one I do for a while. The final two months of Season 1 were a magical time for both us in the audience and those making the rips - a time to truly go all-out and end the channel with a bang.

The SiIvaGunner Smurfs Collab is exactly what it says on the tin - a YTPMV collab of a song from the NES game "The Smurfs". I distinctly remember skimming past this video on its original upload date due to having zero attachments to the Smurfs IP back in 2016, which was a huge mistake on my part. Much like Viva la Robocop, this is a game which is most fondly remembered for its shockingly dense and layered 8-bit soundscape, and this rip effectively serves as one giant tribute to it by over a dozen rippers. A lot of other immensely high-effort rips were also part of the Season 1 ending, but few speak to me as much as a full-charge group effort as this - and its a damn treat to listen to.

Now that I know at least some things about almost all the people involved with this collab, its an immensely fun listen to try and find who did what part - there's a very distinct personality injected into each piece of the collab, by the jokes picked and their execution in the rip as a whole. It helps of course that The Swamps Act 03 is a fantastic piece of music - the source track keeps playing as a base throughout many segments and keeps the entire track fresh thoughout its 3 minute runtime.

A lot of collabs on SiIva understandably push their length due to the amount of people and sources involved - which is always damn impressive and a pleasure to listen to. Yet I find it very refreshing to get these kinds of collab inbetween it all, with a pace and amount of collaborators steady enough to fit in as a more standard rip in a playlist.
