[Kit] -Turnip.
[cheery synth music] Mine cart.
3D.
Star. That's four.
[Krysta] -Just like normal.
-And, I might end up with six. -If you lose, there's also a severe punishment
that you don't wanna miss at the end. -Ugh.
[Nintendo Minute jingle]
-Hi, guys. Welcome back to Nintendo Minute. [cheery synth music]
-We have devised, not "we" actually.
You, -We!
-devised a challenge, for us to take on today,
to see how quickly we can guess a Nintendo game,
based on five clue words.
[Kit]-As few words as possible. So many of these games are iconic, in so many ways.
You look at it, you're like, "wow, that's Mario." You hear a sound like,
"oh, I know what that is."
We've each picked out three games.
[Krysta] -We have five words each,
and we're gonna see how quickly each of us can guess the game.
-So there's five hints. If you, uh,
need all five hints and get it right, you get one point.
[Krysta] -Mm-hmm.
and get it right, and you get two points,
so there's, you can gamble a little bit.
But--
[Krysta] -But--
you lose a point, so you could, you might end up in the negatives.
You might end up with negative three. [Krysta moaning]
-And, I might end with six. -If you lose, there's also a severe punishment
that you don't wanna miss, at the end. -Ugh.
-As usual, it is very severe, and extremely embarrassing. -And embarrassing.
-So, please stay tuned, for one of us to do that. -All right.
Who's going first? -Um, I think you should go first.
I'm so scared.
-All right. -Game number one. -I'll go first.
-OK. -U-um, I don't think this one is that hard.
-Start saying the words. [music slows]
-Ponytail.
Cane.
Baseball hat.
-Surfboard. That's four. Don't-- -I got it.
I got it. -OK.
-Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
-Ho-o-o, I'm so happy! Wait. So that's four? -That was four.
-So that means-- -So you, so you get two. Yeah. -I get two points.
Guys!
[Krysta] -Yes! I'm ready for this. OK.
Not, yes. Yes!
[Krysta] -You're gonna have to sing a song later. Ha-ha!
-OK, I'm going next. -OK.
-Are you ready? -Yeah.
-OK, here we go.
Hotel.
-Trapped.
-Hmm. -I already know.
-Suction.
it's Luigi's Mansion
[both laughing] [Kit] -I considered that. It's too easy.
-It's not too easy. -I got it in two, two hints.
-Three. I got yours in two hints.
-You got it in four. -I thought I told you to stop,
and you just kept saying the words.
-You told me to-- -Just like normal.
-I'm, I'm upset now. Now, it's getting personal.
Here we go. Get ready.
[bell sound]
[Kit clearing throat]
-Pixel.
Armor.
Bounce.
Medieval.
That's four. [blip sound]
Do you need the fifth?
-Yeah. -Looks like you do.
-Pixel, armor, bounce. -Dig.
Those are the five. I-I'd be glad to go over those again.
-Oh, is it Shovel Knight?
[Krysta sighs] -One point for you!
-But still. -A single, solitary point.
-It's not negative. -Not yet.
I guess you're guaranteed a positive score.
-Oh, I am! -That's something.
-Ha ha, that's good! -Congratulations. -Thanks. You did that,
that was a disparaging compliment,-- -Huh?
-backhanded compliment. -I don't do those.
All right. -Yes, you do. -Let's, let's go, please.
-OK. Next one.
-This's my chance to take the lead. Yes. -Here we go.
-Turf. -Wa-wait. Turf?
-Yes. Turf. -Oh.
-Battle.
Fresh.
-Well, it's Splatoon 2.
-I guess it could have been Splatoon 1.
[Krysta] -It's Splatoon 2. -I'd, you see? [laughter]
-Wha-what were your other hints? Did you have anything to differentiate Splatoon 1 and 2?
-I had salmon. That was the last hint, which differentiates it--
[Kit] -Good thing I, oh, see?
It paid off. [Krysta] -You could have gotten it wrong.
-I rolled those dice. Yeah.
so you have two. Oh, no.
-Now, I have four. -Uh-oh. -Oh!
-I don't wanna sing a song. [chuckles]
-All right. Uh, last one. -OK. Last one.
-Here we go.
U-u-uh, turnip.
Mine cart.
3D.
Star. That's four.
-The fifth will definitely, you'll definitely know.
We can go over those again, if you'd like. -OK, yeah.
-Turnip. -Turnip.
-3D.
Mine cart.
Star.
I think you need the fifth.
-No. I don't want to.
[Kit] -Then what is it? Do you, are you gonna guess?
You can guess and, and lose a point.
-At least it won't be negative. -These rules are so good.
-These rules are pretty, incredibly, unfair towards me. [Kit laughing]
-Unfair?
-I think it's Captain Toad:-- -It is! -Treasure Tracker.
It is Captain Toad.
So, what is the score now? You have five?
-Yes. -And I have four?
-Yes. -Oh, we can have a tie.
-I know. -That's not good.
-But you, well, you-- -I just have to,
I'll just have to get this in less than four.
-You have to do it in less than four. -All right. Let's go.
-You're gonna get this one, I think. -Here we go.
-Uh, these words are so easy, now that I look at them.
-Maybe I should make new-- -Can't change it now!
Maybe I should make up new words right now in my brain. -You!
No! -Aw, OK, fine. -The rules forbid that too.
Read, read the fine print. -Tru- oh, what contract did I sign earlier today?
Just kidding. Um.
Travel. [chime sound] -Uh-huh.
-Air ship.
-Weddings.
Well, it's Super Mario Odyssey.
-This is too easy. [laughing together]
-Oh, there's a song for you to sing right there.
Now, what is the punishment? We never said it.
-We were hinting at it. The punishment is the loser has to
sing one of the songs from one of the games?
-Which song? Does it matter? I don't actually--
-Super Mario Odyssey's, got a great song.
♪ -It's time to jump up in the air.
Jump up, don't be scared.
Jump up and your cares will soar away.
And if the dark clouds start to swirl.
Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause...
I'll be your 1UP girl.
So, let's all jump up super high.
Higher than the sky.
There's no power-up like dancing.
You know that you're my superstar.
No one else can take me this far.
I'm flipping a switch.
Get ready for this. So, let's do the odyssey. ♪♪
-I'm glad you lost and I didn't.
That was really fun. We're gonna put the, the words and stuff,
in the description below. Maybe you can try with your friends,
who do not watch this video, -Yeah.
-and see if they guess it. I think they were too easy.
Maybe we should come up with harder words next time. -I think so.
-Or, maybe you guys can come up with words for us-- -Try and stump us, yeah.
-in the comments, and tell us-- -Might not be hard.
-and see if we can guess the game.
That's a fun game to play. Let's do that.
You do that. You do the work. OK.
All right, we're going to wrap it up for today, and remember.
-Nintendo Minute is never a minute. -See you next time.
Bye. -Bye.
