    The Henry Stickmin Collection goes above and beyond, providing 16 endings to the Stickmin story! But which of those endings is canon? Surly not every single one can be??
    Well, there is actually a secret Multiverse Imbalance Correction endings where this very question is addressed. I wanted to lay it out as plainly as I could to help fans understand what that implies for the whole series!
    Who'd have thought I'd ever do a theory or explained video on Henry Stickmin??

    First off, thank you all for the incredible response this video has had! I've had a few cool convos in the comments about other factors that tie into this theory/explanation. Namely: The Teleporter, and the way the Biggol Sword secret plays out between numerous fails (ie. universes). Here is my attempt to build on the video theory, while including those!
    The Teleporter appears to work through space AND time - and has some weird manipulative properties of the two. It's one of the only things Henry reacts to BEFORE using, getting increasingly nervous about it. He is reacting to how AU versions of himself have been affected.
    Despite being a different Henry, it's always the same device (he hasn't failed with it yet perhaps), and the device is imposing the weight of those previous failures upon Henry! Alternately, the stakes are simply higher each time, and he knows the device is finicky. But that's less cool and sci-fi oriented ;)
    The sequence for acquiring the Biggol sword includes interactions with the CCC in order to acquire the necessary code for the door. There is a chance that in a similar way the Teleporter has manipulated space, time, and Henry - the CCC's interference with timelines and universes have granted Henry some limited multiverse knowledge. The exchanging of that flash drive, from Henry to the CCC, and their interference with their discs (all connecting with Henry), resulted in an unintentional criss-crossing of universes on a less-than-physical level that have granted Henry a small _fragment_ of universal awareness. It's all a bunch of mingling timelines, coalesceing, and granting inter-universal knowledge! So despite never reading or learning the code, he is able to essentially pluck it from the ether of another universe thanks to goofed-up time and space.

      I Challenge(JK just hear me out), Your theory is pretty good that there are finite number of alternate timelines and each timeline will, no matter how it ends always forces to the the next mission one way or another BUT during the one of the fails in completing the mission, specifically the 'Sprite Form' when the sprite punches the write hand man into an alternate timeline where Hendry never came across with the TopHat clanand the right hand man never gets cybernetic enhancements ... Basically, we can't fully know for certain whether we live in universe where all Hendry 's actually ending are the only possible ending.
      Also in the bio of the right hand man in completing the mission it is mentioned that he was defeated by Hendry and had got cybernetic enhancement.
      So we might still have infinite number of universes
      Edit:Or That every ending, including fails is an ending, that is probably the only possible way this could happen....

      *"The sequence for acquiring the Biggol sword includes interactions with the CCC..."*
      Problem, Henry isn't in the same room, ergo, he himself cannot interact with the CCC, heck, he gets the drive in a different path altogether.
      To me at least, what's happening to Henry here looks very similar to what happened to (Zero Escape spoilers ahead!, don't continue reading unless you don't care about spoilers! You have been warned)...
      ...Junpei in the first Zero Escape were he was mentally linked to his love interest's younger self Akane because she needed him to avoid being incinerated. What am trying to say is that somebody else (maybe the player?) is messing with Henry's thoughts and basically telling him what to do, ergo, the existence of the multiple endings.

      Something that I noticed when watching some youtubers play CtM is that the Majora’s Mask chaos containment fail has the narrator speak in first person, as if they were the person who launched the moon... or perhaps the narrator IS the moon!
      Ok, I was kidding about that last bit. But the fact that the narrator spoke in first person in a way that suggests that they impacted the multiverse is still quite significant.

      That's something I've been vaguely aware of, but didn't make the connection mapping out this video.
      It could be a super significant point! I had it in mind, that the "narrator" for the fails is clearly aware of multiple endings and fails, since they leave snarky remarks about Henry trying something multiple times.
      But the idea that Henry himself is aware if a whole other can of worms! Well done :)

      wow my grammar was great a month ago-
      anyway, came back to edit this comment.
      Henry maybe kinda deserved it?
      i mean- he killed everybody in the airship, i rewatched the revenged ending and i didnt see any escape pods or parachutes.
      assuming nobody survived,
      Reginald had the right to kill him in the betrayed ending-
      Henry just walks in the airship kills RHM and captures Reginald, obviously he doesnt wanna go to jail or whatever so he gives his leadership for his freedom.
      Reginald obviously cares about the toppat clan, most likely has always been with them, and Henry hasnt proven himself.
      in Toppat King Henry risks his life for them. therefore, proving he can take care of the clan.

So from there, if any person wants to make fan content of a specific ending, because of their own experiences, it's completely in the limit.

    Theory: What if the CCC actually spawns every item Henry would possibly need to create each universe? I mean, they do summon the box in prison, so it's very plausible that the CCC is actually controlling every fail, rank and ending Henry does, IN ORDER to overload the system, which would then fill up and send the package to Henry in prison. The CCC traps the multi verse into an endless loop whith little nagging, such as the box or any other item Henry magically posses when u choose it. Also, Henry remembering using the teleporter before might be because the CCC is putting the memory of using the teleporter and dying in other universes. They can summon stuff, so probably they can also control memories and, in this case, put memories inside a person's mind. Just another nagging to some more fails, some more universes and the eventual overload, further supporting my previous loop theory. I don't know if this is canon, but, for me, it is very possible.

      No. The CCC may have given the box Henry received in Escape the Prison, but I don't think they control Henry's fate, actions and endings. Also, it's not clear if the failures are also canon, because Henry could have used the teleporter off-screen and known in advance of its ineffectiveness.

  • @ErPaniX
    @ErPaniX Před 3 lety +84

    The "Multiverse defragmentation" that the CCC actuates is probably just "Erase all the Universes where Henry failed his objective, thus not reaching the 'Mission'. The Universes where Henry fails DURING 'Completing The Mission' can continue to exist, until further events"
    This is what I think: every choice that doesn't lead to a main ending is deleted, unless it happened in "Completing The Mission"

    I propose there is actually one ending that isn’t canon, at least it can’t be canon without creating a plot hole, the “Lawyered Up” Ending in Escaping the Prison. In the beginning of Infiltrating the Airship, the Captain lists Henry’s criminal record, all of the crimes that he is wanted by the government for: breaking into the bank, breaking out of prison, and stealing the diamond. The only problem is, if the Lawyered Up ending is canon, two thirds of that criminal record wouldn’t exist. In the Lawyered Up ending, Henry is declared as not guilty for his attempted robbery at the bank, thus expunging his criminal record at that point and letting him leave the prison legally. He didn’t “escape” the prison, he walked out a free man. When the Captain later claims that he is wanted for both breaking into the bank and escaping prison, it directly contradicts one of the endings to Escaping the Prison since we’ve established Henry wouldn’t have those crimes on his record. Therefore, the Lawyered Up ending cannot be canon without contradicting every single ending in Infiltrating the Airship.

Spo potentially a skilled detective could have brought new evidence forward. They overturned that ruling, but it was too late to bring Henry back in. So he still "Escaped".
      We also know that Winston goes on to join the Toppats. He only could have done that if he himself escaped (possible, since he's now imbittered and working with criminals), or he was let out legally when they realized they had the wrong man

You have Valiant Hero Henry looking to replace his alternate universe self, so that he could live in a universe where his best friend is still alive. Meanwhile, Triple Threat Henry has been sent into Toppat Civil Warfare while having no prior connection to leading the Clan to begin with.

But the only crime Henry commited before EtP was Robbery, meaning that his sentence is temporary. He will definitely get out.

Smashing it takes him to different locations. Lava, Ice, the shooting range he teleported in (from EtP) a white void (from StD) the outside of the bank, etc. Saying he smashed it because, “Henry had a feeling that using the device wasn’t duable (correct spelling is doable)” doesn’t connect, because this is henry stickmin.

    Fun fact: There are 144 ways Henry's life can play out
    "But there are only 16 endings in Completing the Mission!"
    Correct, but the previous games affect that number. Here's how it's calculated (it's really not hard)
    First, let's start before ItA, since that's where things get messy.
    There is only one way to go in BtB, so we don't have to consider that since that just multiplies our answer by one (which, obviously, just gives you the same number)
    There are three ways to break out of the prison, and three ways to steal the diamond. That leads to nine possible combinations.
    When we reach ItA and FtC, we're not actually just going to multiple the number of endings. After all, some of the ItA and FtC endings aren't compatible (you can't call the government to save you if you abandoned them). Luckily, we don't have to determine how many are compatible. CtM has already done that. There are sixteen ways Henry's life can play out from ItA onward.
    Finally, we just multiply nine (the number of combinations of stealing the diamond and breaking out of jail) by sixteen (the number of endings in CtM) and we get 144.
    Just because you get the Triple Threat ending, doesn't mean there aren't multiple ways to get to that point. For example, Henry might get Sneaky Escapist, then Intruder on a Scooter, then Government Supported Private Investigator, then Convict Allies. However, Lawyered Up, Just Plain Epic, Government Supported Private Investigator, then Convict Allies also leads to Triple Threat yet it's a unique combination of events for Henry's life to take.
    This comment is useless and way too long. If you read all the way down here... I'm sorry, I wasted your time.

      That may be so, but the three endings of EtP & StD define only one output each, and therefore only have one output, albeit in nine different ways. So even these two games don't set a different fate and are like BtB in terms of consequences. And so we have 1+1+1 total of 3 consecutive endings before ItA & FtC determining Henry's future.
      They are again 16 because it doesn't matter what endings are achieved in EtP & StD because they lead to the same stage in StD & ItA.

    Here is my theory: It all starts and ends with the package, due to the package Henry escapes prison and does all the things that lead up to CtM and ultimatly, the multiverse imbalance. The package is in fact the cause of the imbalance. But as much as it is the cause of it, it is also the end. The CCC has to correct the multiverse imbalance, but why sending Henry the package, as that is the lead to the imbalance? Simple, a balance goes both ways, remove the package, and there will be too few multiverses, Henry would be stuck in prison forever , end of story. The CCC sends Henry the package through time and space creating the setup for multiple universes to exists, at the end of the day, the multiverse gets overloaded and has to be defragmented. The CCC does so making sure it stays in balance by sending the package to Henry. And then we've come full circle, the CCC will keep on balancing the multiverse for eternity, with or without knowing they've done it countless times before. This makes that we, the players, can make our own stories without messing up the multiverse and creating infinite possibilities. Henry will always complete his mission, but how he does that, is up to us.

    Thinking about it, the CCC seems to be in EVERY universe. Is it possible that WE, the player, are the CCC looking over all the possible universes. It would make sense, or maybe a group that works against the CCC trying to cause chaos with Henry as their pawn. How does henry get all the other items he uses for his actions, we seen that the CCC can give an item to a universe, as they delivered the package to him. So who's to say they didn't also give him a ton of other items or ideas as well.

      I like to think of it like the post-game of Hypnospace Outlaw. In HO, after the main events have unfolded you are left to archive all the various webpages on the micro-internet that was Hypnospace. Perhaps the player is a member of the CCC taking glimpses into other timelines and archiving what they see. The whitty remarks from the "narrator" could be your supervisor making comments on the archives you create and basically telling you "That one's a dud, move on."

    I would like to note that these decisions concerning “everything is canon” that PuffBallsUnited made is probably set up to *support* their decision to make this the last Henry Stickmin entry...OR, its the other way around: this is how they decided to set up the Collection, but realized that if they were to make a sequel, it would be very hard, maybe even impossible, to do so without throwing away what was set in stone in the Collection.
    So in a way, it’s good that they aren’t making a sequel...but then again...it would be possible to do it correctly. Heck, they pulled off the multiple endings combinations thing with Completing the Mission, so there’s that...

    Capital Gains - Henry and Ellie became one of the richest criminals in history, The Toppats lost their two leaders and gave the leadership to a stickman I never know, Theres a chance the the Toppats will get revenge on Henry and Ellie for stealing their wealth unless the government defeated them
    Toppat King - After Henry came back to Dogobogo Jungle, Reginald still hates Henry inside but shows a nervous face to him, meanwhile the government attacked them and Reginald saw Henry's skills and potential, Reginald accepted Henry as a leader and the Toppats becomes the most feared and powerful criminal organizations
    Pardoned Pals - After a change of plans with Ellie to join the government instead, the military now pardons the two and both of them became normal people, its basically the Freeman ending, but Henry has Ellie as a friend (or possibly a future lover)
    Toppat Recruits - Successfully killed the Wall Wardens and shoots down Charles' helicopter, Reginald accepted the two as Toppat Members, Henry and Ellie lived a life of crime with the Toppats
    Master Bounty Hunter - Henry takes on the right hand man, and defeated him with a cheap combo technique (possibly from a fighting game) after they captured the leader, The Toppats surrenders and all of them were arrested, Charles saw Henry's potential of capturing leaders of criminal organizations, Henry is now a soldier who specializes in capturing big time criminals
    Stickmin Space Resort - Being able to steal the Rocket and making the Toppat members employees of the rocket, Henry successfully becomes a great businessman a now owns a Rocket Space Resort
    Cleaned em Out - Henry successfully steals the Toppat's wealth without getting spotted, he is now the most richest criminal in history
    Little nest egg - Its basically Cleaned em Out, but Henry chose to put his tank into action and ambush the train, Henry successfully steals the golden cart and got stranded in random land, he was still happy to be able to have so much wealth despite being trapped in random land, He might possibly put the wealth into his land similar to the Intruder on a Scooter ending
    Special BROverts ops - After the general saw the duo's great teamwork, he decided to promote them both (Even though Henry isn enlisted), the two later becomes elite soldiers and might be one of the best
    Toppat 4 Life - After sabotaging the government's efforts to attack the Toppats, Henry came back gloriously to the Rocket and might be one of the greatest leaders in Toppat History
    Freeman - Escaping from the clutches of the Toppats, Henry enjoys his life as a normal person
    Toppat Civil Warfare - Leaving Ellie out in the Complex might have been backfired because later she accused Henry for being not a gentleman, Reginald sees a opportunity to dethroned Henry and was successful, later Henry rescued his loyal companions (Even Dave) Jeffrey decides to make everyone ride into a escape pod and land on a desert, Reginald who got throwed a while ago got killed by getting crashed by the pod, along with the right hand man who was carrying him, Ellie became leader of the toppats and later 2 sides has been split and it ends up in a Civil War
    Valiant Hero - Being a awesome duo once more, they successfully put the Toppat's station into a state of exploding, as Charles and Henry are escaping some random asshole Toppat desperately attacks them, Charles throws Henry into the escape pod, and once the pod has been released, Charles is now gonna explode along with the station, he later dies by the explosion as Henry saw the horrific sight, Henry became sad (or depressed) later on and gives Charles his respect, Henry is now a badass soldier with a sad past
    Revenged - This ending might be the 2nd most saddest ending, after Henry was betrayed by Reginald he sought to have revenge after getting cybernetic enhancements by a russian girl, defeating the Reborned right hand man he later trapped Reginald by stapling him to the ceiling, Henry was about to escape when Reginald suddenly shoots him and rather's to take Henry with him, The Airship later crashed, Reginald dies due to injuries, Henry on the other hand was still alive but also dying, he cant move his cybernetics so he barely needs to walk using a stick, he later sits down on a rock tired, Henry later dies due to untreated injuries, this ending is sad if you realize that Ellie and Charles arent his friends in this time, he only got betrayed, but his actions are now justified, this ending is the only one Henry officially dying
    Jewel Baron - Henry gains a life achievement by stealing 3 great jewels, he enjoys his life being a luxurious man
    Triple Threat - Making the Toppat's rocket go into the wall, The Toppats might be possibly dead, or maybe some of them were arrested by the wall, Henry and Ellie on the other hand celebrates their victory with Charles and they possibly work together in future missions, the three of them might possibly be life time friends (Henry and Ellie might be lovers and Charles might be the third wheel) Note: I wouldnt have put this in here, the replies reminded me on this ending so give them a little credit
    Multiverse Correction - Restarting the Stickman Universe, they send the same box again in Escaping the Prison, Meaning that the universe was only looped by Henry actions, this might be my 3rd saddest ending as the end screen says "Thank you"

Theres no signs of psychopathy, PTSD, or any other condition surrounding her, shes just oddly normal, and seemingly just as prone to fail as Henry.

      That being said, I bet there would still be room for her to have a prequel story that ended there. Considering Henry was hunted by the Wall no matter what his specific crimes were - they could target Ellie for numerous things, even beyond what we specifically see in a game of her.

It would also explain the very simple fails, such as just just eating cheese, or eating a cupcake, or choosing to do nothing. It’s most likely just to see what would happen, because anything else as simple usually succeeds (the cloud drawing for example, and the sandwich in FTC)

    Fun fact: there’s a chance that all the “main” characters (ellie, henry and charles) have a minor sense of timeline knowledge(spoilers ahoy)
    Henry: someone else mention the whole “teleportation” idea, which I don’t wanna mention for the sake of “stealing.” But to tl;dr it, henry becomes more scared of the item per game.
    Also minor point, apparently punching people through timelines doesn’t break the multiverse (henry’s jojo spirit punched someone into a timeline where the two didn’t meet) but a bunch of fails does? Is it because this was a fail that this overloaded the multiverse? If this was the main route (as in the right option), would this have even done anything to the timeline?
    Charles: there are three things he says that i wanna bring up (all in CTM). In FTC, when you select the “charles” option, he says “this is the greatest plan” before failing you. And right before dying in the “valiant hero” ending, he says “you could say that this was the greatest plan.”
    Selecting charle’s plan in CTM has henry and charles talking. I’ll only abbreviate the whole convo for typing reasons
    “I’m going to crash into the window”
    “You know what I’m talking about, right henry?”
    (Henry nods)
    It should he noted that there’s a high chance charles never mentioned the plan in FTC and ITA because of henry’s shocked expression each time before he fails, except he’s aware of it now and agrees with it.
    Final point: This is in one of the intro cutscenes. Charles mentions a plan then says “you could say, we’re going to _complete the mission_ ,” only for ellie to go “why did your voice change?” If that isn’t a fourth wall break, I don’t know what is.
    Ellie: ok I’m kinda just assuming since she’s a main character, despite her not only not being aware of charles’ plan, but also the fourth wall break I mentioned.
    All together, it’s safe to assume that the main cast have _simple_ timeline/multiverse knowledge. It isn’t really useful to them (as in they are only related to fails and stuff), but it’s safe to say they have it
    Also the “fail narrator” being thing _defiantly_ has timeline knowledge and manipulation because of, not only the references, but the fact that THEY MADE A LOCK APPEAR ON THE DOOR JUST SO HENRY CAN LOCK PICK IT AND FAIL

      I wouldn’t call the main cast “all knowing” just “knowing” since it’s not like they tried to abuse it at one point :b then again, henry does technically have the option to “load the game” (unless the narrator does that) and do some specific game stuff like “clipping through surfaces” , “corrupting the world” and “hacking/being banned”
      Also wouldn’t be surprised is the “fail narrator” either helps/controls harry or just laughs at every “stupid” thing harry does. Tho i think it’s the latter cause unless they’re the one providing all the options (even then that overloads the multiverse and most of them dont work), they don’t intervene directly. Heck, the only example that i know that the narrator directly changed something is to add a lock pick, and that ended with a fail

    As others have already said, Henry does seem aware of the various fails and different outcomes, but I've noticed he also seems aware of the *player.* There's a few times where he looks directly at the screen (or "camera"), indicating he knows the player is there and is questioning their choices. For example:
    -In "Infiltrating the Airship", when choosing the "Leap" option to get across the gap between the Records and Vault/Cells, Henry first looks straight at the camera with a hesitant look on his face before jumping, as if to say "You're really picking THAT option?"
    -In one of the Teleporter fails (I think it may be the one in "Fleeing the Complex"), Henry hesitates for a *long* moment, looking between the Teleporter and the camera with an extremely unamused and pouty expression, before finally deciding to use it.
    It may be worth mentioning that Charles looks directly at the camera and breaks the fourth wall as well (in his "we'll have no problems... _Completing the Mission."_ dialogue), but Charles is also just a goof in general.

    People talk about how sad the "Valiant Hero" ending is yet I never hear anyone talk about the "Revenged" ending. In FtC The Toppat Clan helps Henry break out only to betray him at the last second by dropping him in the middle of the ocean seemingly to die only to be saved by some nurse who gave Henry some robotic upgrades. Henry uses said Robotic Upgrades to seek revenge on The Toppat Clan and he eventually does but starts to regret it thinking it wasn't worth it because now Henry has no one.
    At least with the Valiant Hero ending he had Charles until he died and still has The Government on his side but with The Revenged ending he has no one which honestly makes me sad in a different way than the Valiant Hero ending does.

  • @geoplane3799
    @geoplane3799 Před 3 lety +2
