Didn't know most of these, though to be fair it would've been creepy if I had known how many save files were on your computer
idk man its kinda on you if you didnt know the 10th ride alphabetically in his first save file of 2021
To be fair, I think just about every rct player has a crap ton of save files lol
Yes it is good that you clarified that
@@MadameSomnambule When I was a kid I think I had over like 30 save files lol.
You should've known. It was on the test.
"I just killed 32 guests on this coaster"
Ah there it is.
"I just killed another 3 Guests, this time by drowning"
As to be expected.
"Hee hee hee hee hee!"
That part legitimately made me laugh.
Look, we've all done it.
Fun fact, on the mobile version of RCT Classic, if you hold your finger on one spot you get a zoomed-in magnifying glass to let you select small things on a phone screen. However, if you do this and highlight a duck, you get the quack sound effect EVERY FRAME, which is incredibly goofy.
Also that 'Hee hee hee' was absolutely unhinged
i'm p. sure it's just woody woodpecker's laugh
in other words, you're not wrong
@@hi-i-am-atan I don't even know who woody woodpecker is. I've heard the name, but have no idea what the character is.
@@MarcelVos he's pretty much just another bugs bunny, just lighter on the wise guy and heavier on the screwball
i honestly don't know much about him beyond that, since i'm pretty sure i've watched 0 of his cartoons and have only really been exposed to him at universal theme parks and stuff celebrating old cartoons. even that alone's enough for his laugh to be burnt into my grey matter, though, so it wouldn't surprise me if you ran into stuff w/ a cameo or reference to him and it just lodged itself into your subconscious
immediate edit: also thinking about it, it's not far from just laughing to the tune of la cucaracha, so add that to the slurry of dated memes that the dark reaches of the brain could've been drawing from
@@MarcelVos I think Iskall85 (a swede) had that same "who is this i dont even" moment in a previous season of Hermitcraft. I guess old American cartoons aren't that well known in Europe?
@@WackoMcGoose Funny thing, Woody Woodpecker is extremely popular in, I believe it was Brazil.
More useless info: the park at 7:47 is a perfect re-creation of the park shown in the "oldest RCT1/2" video. Nice detail. =]
The funny thing is that I wrote and recorded the number 32 for the number of guests I killed on the ride well before I realized that 32 guests were killed in that old RCT1 video.
The twist- Marcel originally uploaded that video using the park he made for this.
@@MarcelVos that table at 7:10 sounds like something for a challenge..
Aw I was hoping I would be the only one to notice that 😄
With how these games are programmed, I don't think there's such a thing as useless information. It continues to amaze me.
I have another useless one. The Mega Park in RCT1 vanilla doesn't appear anywhere in the install files. The game will dynamically generate the scenario and its associated file after you complete all the scenarios.
The duck detail is additional game play and 100% useful. In modern times that would be DLC.
You can also pop balloons that guests have released, by clicking on them.
or a mod
@@davidpreston9909 That'll teach those balloons.
Fun untrue fact: If you click the duck often enough, it will explode!
yes! I enjoyed clicking on ducks, like after I built a ride, I'd feel as if it was heralded in with a duck fanfare haha.
"I'll probably never answer for the hundreds of thousands of guests I've murdered".
That's to be expected, Marcel, just...
"heeeheeeheeheeeee"
Ok, that laugh was creepy.
marcel vos is secretly woody woodpecker confirmed?
that laugh caught me off guard lol
I love how many of these are just like "my most used scenery item is X." "the 5th ride in my favorite park is named Y" etc. it's very dumb but it really reiterates the "uselessness" in a way that makes a viewer laugh, even when they're surrounded by other technically useless but more normal information like "guests get a special thought if you stare at them too long" "there are [large number] of possible color combinations for a ride" etc
On the subject of ducks; clicking on ducks in RCT3 not only makes them quack, but has a chance to make them lose all their feathers.
You can also pop your guest's balloons while they are still holding them.
One of my favorite things to do as a kid was wait for them to buy a balloon and then pop it as soon as they walk away.
You need to be studied@@scaper12123
Man those user submitted coasters always made me question reality as a kid as to how the hell I was supposed to afford them and even have the space to build them.
8:04 The middle colour for the Car Ride is actually used: it's for the stripes on the spinning tunnel element. I don't remember if that was a vanilla element for the Car Ride or was brought over from the Ghost Train in OpenRCT2, though.
you only have this track piece for the catshire cars (which was a seperate ride)
It's crazy that Chris Sawyer made so many references in his game to himself. I always wondered if he knew it would be a classic game still played over 20 years later.
I just had the horrifying realisation that the trees don’t have shadows as part of their sprites. I can never unsee this anymore now
I legitimately cackled at the "hehehehehehe" after never answering for hundreds of thousands of guests marcel has murdered. It felt so out of place from marcel in the best possible way! I love the usual informative and chill/casual vibes of the normal videos, but throwing something like that in a guaranteed laugh, at least from me.
Knowing that the ducks can quack is arguably not useless information as it may be crucial to bringing happiness to someone.
The addition of objectives of all scenarios around 6 min sounds like a good base for a challenge run where you must achieve those in every scenario in the game.
These were awesome. I actually knew the final one, as I played that scenario last week, and very appropriately used that lake to create a boat hire called "Dong Lake."
1:00 I always got such a kick out of seeing the, "Is someone watching me?" thoughts when I was a kid.
8:53 is the best part
😂
I have to assume that GWS are the initials of Chris Sawyer's wife or child or something.
Also fun fact about the ducks; if you play for 36 hours without stopping, when you click on them, they don't quack, but say "Go to bed, Kevin," in the disappointed voice of your grandmother.
Here’s an interesting fact about roller coaster tycoon three. Normally you cannot have a roller coaster track going through a flat ride unless you do mods. However, if you put down the water coaster water trough section, you can put a flat ride over it because for some reason the game considers any section with the water trough to be empty. Therefore, you can put a flat right down on top of it.
Love all your videos, Marcel! During this video you mention how guests jump to see over the barriers in the maze - I was always under the impression that they were jumping for joy because they loved being on the maze ride. Your explanation makes way more sense 😄
Not just me? Cool.
At 8:04; the middle color is for the spinning tunnel element. Though for vanilla RCT2 you're right, because the sport car ride does not have access to the tunnel element but it still has this color option. The cat cars do have access to it though. In OpenRCT2 all car rides can use the tunnel. :)
8:11 F for Jessica, Kimber and Arco
My sisters and brother in law.
You should do a challenge where you get the total challenges in every scenario done in one park!
The hardest part of that would be not ragequitting due to the lag of 40600 guests.
@@MarcelVos Part of the challenge is coding the optimisations to OpenRCT2 to make it run better.
You'll have to settle for 40600 total admissions
Just ignore the guest count and try to go for the vanilla limit of RCT2 as it's what would be more realistic anyway. Custom park or maybe RCT2 six flags? (the build your own one with the empty park and lake in the middle, with a generous loan offer) @@MarcelVos
@@MarcelVos Do it in Forest Frontiers. This is a reasonable and sane requested from someone who is definitely not deranged
Sandstone Skyscraper Bottom Inverted Corner looks too intense for me.
Reducing the rings on space rings actually blew my mind
Legit didn't even know it was a thing, never done it.
2:28 I found out on accident as a kid. I did it to make the Observation Tower faster and found it to get stuck.
"I just killed 32 guests on this coaster."
For those that didn't notice, the coaster is the exact same as the oldest RCT youtube video marcel could find.
These will make for great conversation starters during dinner parties.
7:33 Makes sense. The images contain transparency information. And the transparent areas are not considerd for hit-checks.
Given that sprites are always square, that is necessary.
And as a side note, I’ve played with a game engine where that feature can be toggled. It frustrated me that I had to click my buttons in specific areas for them to register before finding out what the specific check mark was for
@@qazxsw21000 That makes no sense on buttons. There the hit-check should be on the buttons background image. Not the foreground one.
@@christopherg2347 well, the engine treats all “fields” the same by default, but the extra options modify their behaviors. A “field” is more or less just a placeholder for things like sprites or text (input and output) on the UI. Usually for buttons, there are two fields. One acts as the button itself and the other for the button text/image/etc. One of them can be left out and the other set to have the entire field act as a clickable area. The option exists to allow players to be able to click behind the field without activating the field. The engine calls it “per-pixel cursor” or something close to that.
This feels like what would happen if you and Marcel Vos ever got drunk at a party and you asked him about RCT 😂😂😂
What i learned today: Marcel is into counting and calculating things
Ive always loved when guests thought "I have the strangest feeling that someone is watching me".
These are actually hilarious. They are the perfect amount of interesting but useless. I love what you have selected.
The ducks was actually pretty useful
When i get bored. I am gonna abuse some duck noices
These in between lines about murdering guests make Marcel sound like some sort of villain that had committed alot of war crimes. "I'll never answer for hundreds of guest Ive murdered" 😂
7:40 the hitbox is so precise because its not a hitbox, rather the pixel you are on top off
“I will probably never answer for the guests I’ve killed”
Oh don’t be so sure, they could try to make another Roller Coaster Tycoon reboot that ends up sucking horribly.
5:34 absolute banger 🔥
7:05 Do I smell a challenge? I kind of want to give RCTopen a spin and seriously try for those numbers
8:52 is actually really interesting, definitely going to incorporate that in my next playthrough
GWS usually stands for "Get well soon", but that's probably not the intention here.
By the Emperor, man. It obviously stands for Games Workshop. (I have no idea what it stands for, but if I had to guess it's in memoriam for CS's mum or something to that effect.)
I'd love to see what a park that meets every scenario requirement looks like! 6:53
Considering OpenRCT2 raised the guest cap and park size cap, it could happen...
If there was a true sequel to RCT2, it would be "RCT3: The Guests' revenge against Marcel"
@4:44 This is actually an incredibly useful fact and i will cherish this knowledge forever
4:12 New challenge! Beat every scenario by only building the Hyper Twister design u(1114).
5:48 - thank you Marcel for including this.
i would like more of these, i laughed so much at some of the more absurd facts
I love how so many of these sound like a setup for actually useful info, and then the video just moves on.
That laugh at 8:53 is that of a mad man with nothing to lose.
6:45 sounds like a challenge to do them all at once
Well... you certainly can't say we were click baited with the title on this one😂 We got exactly what was described. 10/10 would watch another set of useless facts
I have finally found the nerdiest corner of CZcams. I am here for it, cheers Marcel!
I also noticed the egyptian pyramid has a hollow hitbox. I remember making a tunnel that enters the interior of the pyramid and have some stalls there
10:36 - That's the sound of a rocket engine.
Was literally just wondering what i was gonna do for the next 10 minutes. What good timing this vid has
Here is some information that I noted whilst playing the Steam version of RCT1 Deluxe:
Pokey Park, Rainbow Valley, Urban Park and Micro Park can be completed using only pre-designed roller coasters. This is because some of the user submitted designs are small enough to fit inside these parks.
You can win the safest park award without having any rides.
When a mechanic is repairing a ride, you can sometimes hear them using a hammer.
If you drop a guest or staff member on a tile that is sloped so that half of it is underwater, they will land on the ground, but soon move into the water and drown.
Ivory Towers has a lot of litter from food and drinks, but there are no stalls in the park that they could have been bought at.
When you complete a scenario and the guests applaud, some of them clap for longer than others.
Rides that suffer a station brakes failure can become perpetual motion machines if none of their trains collide. I saw this happen with the u(0401) Flying Roller Coaster, where multiple trains were going in a constant circuit but never crashed.
you are correct about the 'sus' pond in Factory Capers. what makes me feel worse about it is putting flower beds all around it in it's full glory in the normal version of the game - and rowing boats. I'm going to be over there --> with a gallon of eyebleach.
10:38 The Laka doesn't look sus, it looks like the strongest shape.
NGL a custom scenario that needs 40,600 guests, $3,260,000 park value, $23,000 ride income, $1,000 stall income and 40 coasters with a combined 260 excitement sounds like a great challenge for OpenRCT2
He included three murder confessions. What a madlad.
8:52 THE GIGGLE OH MY GOD
I remember discovering the duck quack by accident 😂
You can also click floating balloons and they'll pop
7:06 I want to see a single park meet all these goals at once
I cannot explain why or watched this, or why I was absolutely captivated the entire time. Thank you for the great content as always Marcel!
The fact that you can reduce the space rings to 1 ring is not entirely useless if you're trying to "store" your guests in a long queue line lol.
7:08
It would be cool to see if you could get those stats in a single park now that the sprite cap has lifted!!
"The snowball scenery has a face on it"
Yeah ok that is pretty useless information lol
In the next video:
Marcel builds a park, which full fills all requirements at 7:09
Finally someone pointed out the lake in factory capers. They knew what they were doing.
"Doc are you writing this down!? This is _vital!"_
4:44 - That's a very good and useful fact. ^^
RCT1 is my favorite game of all time, I've been playing for nearly 2 decades and I never realized the park fence had signs on them. I just thought it was part of the fence design...
It would be interesting to see a challenge where you have to complete the requirements at 7:06, but all in one park.
There is no "useless" information with this game, just information I didn't already know.
One cool thing about Rollercoaster Tycoon on the original Xbox that I miss so much when I started playing on PC is that it had a magnifying glass. You could see things closer through the magnifying glass icon, just like you would when observing ants. I wish it was added to the PC game in a patch!
Alternative title: 10 minutes of useless RCT facts interrupted by Marcel's crimes against humanity
I have never played RCT2.
I have never owned any RCT game.
I have no particular intention nor desire to play said games.
Every video Marcel makes is 10 minutes of useless information about RCT2
Yet I clicked.
Why am I addicted?
5:50 I've watched enough anime to know where this is going...
This is the most entertaining video ive seen the last few days!! Luved that fact that you searched for the oldes RCT2 video that you could find! :)
6:52 What a horrific stream that would turn into if you had to do it all at once. 😂
your detail around 7:06 makes me wonder: can you beat all of RCT2 simultaneously (using one map and all objectives applying to that one map)?
I used to think that the audio quirk of it overflowing and going to the lowest pitch was the Rollercoaster breaking the sound barrier, but the speed of the coaster is nowhere near how fast you would need to be going
My favourite part is the random facts meshed in about Marcel specifically. The "I just killed 32 guests on this coaster" between other facts got me. I think this was just an excuse for him to confess his crimes.
I have a useless fact: in Dynamite Dunes (RC1 classic) there is ONE square of land you cannot purchase that is otherwise surrounded by a huge area of land you can. Not exciting, but I found it funny when I first discovered it.
Marcel Vos uploads the same day as Spirit of the Law AND it’s my day off?!
The stars have aligned!
While you were scrolling through your list of custom scenarios, I saw there was one called Dragon Cavern, and searching for it led me to a site where you can download these scenarios, so this information was definitely not useless!
another fact of questionable uselessness is that, at least in the original game, crashing a coaster through most scenery items would make the cars ride on them like track. A straight level segment of track the length of the train that ends against a giant line of trees would make the coaster say "crashing," but the cars would only go down a pixel every few seconds as they continued straight in the direction they crashed in. i was able to get them to actually crash into the ground and explode several dozen tiles away from the end of a track that was 1 unit off the ground
Wow! So many things I knew, but had totally forgotten! I remember being so bothered that I couldn't build the grey pyramid.
The second to last music track being Water Style enlightened me to a new dimension
Another fun fact if you slow down to the effect of Vos' "Heheheheheheee" then you get this creepy vibe that will make you regret life itself.
"The SECOND last entry on the music list is..."
You weren't kidding when you said these are random facts. LOL.
Nothing proves I'm here for the vibes more than watching this...
Appropriately, Dinky Park also ties for shortest scenario name.
I will say, I did know about clicking on Ducks to make them quack. (There have been several times where I've just followed a duck around and clicked on it a bunch).
In a similar vein, if you click on a balloon that is not being held by a guest (it was let go and is flying away) it will pop.
5:42 information can be dependant of the language, as in French, the quater tile and the full tile bone scenery items are both called "Os" which is only 2 characters.
Some other languages might do better or equal
9:01 wow when i played this as a kid i thought it was an error, i never realized it was meant to be Chris Sawyer's initials.
Absolutely delightful 😁 Who knew that useless info could be so entertaining? Thanks Marcel!
Edit to add: That Giga Coaster with nearly 100 Excitement would absolutely turn your hair permanently white... Just from WATCHING someone ride it.
