His complete teardown of the game's structure is very impressive.

Added DiffLines:

** He also thoroughly criticizes just how repetitive and painful getting 100% and 106% completion is and how the process is not worth it for the secret endings. This makes up the majority of the video, and he points out everything from possibly having to play stages over ten times, glitches and bugs, to how unfair some of the box placements are.
-->If you expect perfection from me, I demand perfection from you. And this, this is not perfection.

* For the longest time, Caddy promised that if he ever hit one million subscribers on his channel, he would cover ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' games. After hitting the one million mark in late 2022, Caddy proved to be a man of his word, released a video over two hours long, covering every ''Spyro'' game that he could get his hands on. As Caddy noted in a comment on the video, it took him over four months of work to get it all done, but he made a promise ten years prior, and [[IGaveMyWord he stuck to his guns]].

** He brings up ''Classic Nursery Rhymes'' again (this time, the CD version) when reviewing "''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'': My First Album." While doing so, Caddy highlights a snippet of that CD's preface written by the composer, John Du Prez; evidently, Du Prez's main goal when composing the songs was to present them in a way that was entertaining to children, while also [[DoingItForTheArt respecting their historical roots]] and avoiding [[AnimationAgeGhetto "cheap commercialization"]] often present in music aimed toward children. This is in contrast to the Peppa Pig album, which Caddy describes as sounding bland, artificial, and patronizing.

* Not only did Caddy manage to complete ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime'' in less time than '''''WebVideo/TheCompletionist'''''[[note]] Jirard completed it in roughly 130 hours, Caddy completed it in less than ''70''.[[/note]], but he also walked away with [[HarderThanHard a Dev Relic]] he earned [[AchievementsInIgnorance on accident]]. Where did he earn that relic? On Cortex Castle. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes,]] the hardest level in the game and the last stretch before the FinalBoss, complete with a gauntlet of back-to-back power-up swaps that you only have ''milliseconds'' to react to.

* His commendation of a 1982 VHS of ''Classic Nursery Rhymes''. Whilst the cheap budget and dated silliness are fun to laugh at, he calls the production "timeless" and adds that the aforementioned drawbacks actually [[NarmCharm add to the charm and sincerity of the feature]]. To drive the point home, he compares the feature's version of ''"Tom, Tom the Piper's Son"'' to a 2017 CGI version. Said 2017 version is elongated, [[{{Bowdlerise}} toothless]], [[TastesLikeDiabetes saccharine]] and charmless.

* Calling out King Games in his ''Blossom Blast'' video for making a level entirely luck-based and it basically goads you to beat the level by paying for a power-up. What makes this even more damning is that the level is the ''114th'', meaning they're expecting you to pay for it since you've most likely made it that far ''without paying anything.'' In fact, that's the entire reason he even wanted to review the game in the first place. [[spoiler: And then he finished the level without even trying shortly after filming had finished.]]

* In The Forbidden World of BANNED Games, while Caddy remains [[CloudcuckooLander himself]] throughout the whole thing, when he finds out that ''The Guy Game'' has underage nudity (of a 17-year old girl, to be exact) in it, he's absolutely repulsed. He proceeds to burn the game to cinders while praying over it with OminousLatinChanting. Silly? Yes. Cool? ''Very.''

* He flat out called out [[Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids Derek Savage]] when he attempted to justify his [[InsaneTrollLogic bizarre reasons as to why]] [[DisproportionateRetribution he forced I HATE EVERYTHING and other channels to take down their negative reviews of his film]], going as far as to say that his film is only famous ''because of'' ''[[WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg a negative review]]''.

* In his video on ''Series/GamingInTheClintonYears'', Caddy sifts through all 1,322 of the channel's videos to count how many duplicate review uploads there are on the channel, leading to a sheet of paper full of duplicate video titles and coming up with examples of how minute the differences between some otherwise identical reviews are. Now ''that's'' dedication.
