Believe it or not, someone has actually managed to create all Super Smash Bros. characters in Infinite Craft—and it only took them three days to do it. YouTuber thatsnomoon overcame numerous challenges, with one Pokémon, in particular, taking several hours create.
YouTube content creator thatsnomoon uploaded a video on Feb. 21 where he and his friends explored the world of Infinite Craft, a web-based app where players combine terms to create new ones. He set out with the goal of discovering every single Smash Bros. character to date, all 89 of them, taking days to achieve the goal. Starting from simple concepts, thatsnomoon created Super Smash Bros. by combining Brawl and Mario, and adding more Marios produced the rest of the Smash titles. While initially making a lot of sense, like how Yoshi came from combining a lizard and Mario, many of the terms came entirely by accident.
For example, the YouTuber combined Brawl and Canada to get… Captain Falcon? A bounty hunter from outer space? That wasn’t the only weird thing, however, as combining Fish and Smash Bros. resulted in the creation of (drum roll, please…) Pikachu. Infinite Craft truly has infinite possibilities.
Some characters couldn’t even be created from Smash Bros. or other concepts, but their original games instead. Rosalina came from Super Mario Galaxy, which resulted from the combination of Mario and Galaxy.
But perhaps the most dramatic moment of the entire endeavor was when the YouTuber suddenly faced a critical system failure and a blue screen of death, wiping the entirety of the eight-hour-long run. He didn’t give up and continued working towards the ultimate goal. After picking up pace, he had another issue arise: Incineroar. This Pokémon alone took hours to figure out, with seemingly infinite attempts at making him appear. It took the first discovery of the Alolan Fire Type term which, combined with Smash Bros. Ultimate, finally yielded the coveted flaming cat.
In total, it took thatsnomoon three days of incessant crafting to produce the 89-strong roster of the Super Smash Bros. franchise, which spans several games across decades. From obscure side characters to frontline superstars, the YouTuber finally caught them all.
