CZcams recommended this video due to a recent nostalgic urge for watching Pataton stuff. I got curious about this video on my home and now I'm impressed about this quality. This is so technical, yet informative. I didn't know Patapon fandom were still alive, even less making such a quality content!
Kudos and +1 subscriber :)

[@BigBoss-sm9xj]

love that patapon content is still being created

[@acuya.]

Thank you for this video. I always tried to explain it to people that they're not having a skill issue but in fact was just being punished by the game when they play perfect rhythm.
Also finally not being called "skill issue" when failing perfects on doi.

[@AlmightyPatapon377]

That helps me a lot of mission difficulty strategies for Patapon 3 including secret menu to change difficulty settings like Patapon 2. Thanks, mate!

[@TuFFgamingPata1306]

That was really well explained. Good video

[@lex9739]

SUPER interesting. Thanks! (a) mil!

[@viunok]

This says alot about pata society

[@Matt-eb2ux]

My Goat modder does it again 🫶

[@PataponPlush]

Neat

[@whiteobama295]

So what does peerles rabbit and heave ho do? Increases the range on every level or keeps lower difficulties longer time? Also awesome video you put so much effort 👌

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

it subtracts one from difficulty level
so with p rabbit, max difficulty is 4
with 2 heave ho, max difficulty is 3 and so on

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

okay sometimes heromoding affects this, but might need to press perfect longer time
idk about the detail logic
just put the difficulty code on 😭

[@royaloreo1275]

Good to know. I assume P rabbit and heave ho change difficulty one step?

[@patapon-san]

hidden mechanics :D
And I thought I was a noob (maybe its too)

[@2muchclass998]

I always drummed perfectly back in the PSP. Whats the explanation for that? The only time i would mistime is to listen more to the pre fever

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

You can still Perfect in hardest difficulty
Skill confirmed

[@2muchclass998]

@@pataponsaysdonchaka thanks hahaha, i got very far on perfect march once.

[@lilydust4442]

Halo?!

[@TehPlayer14]

Excuse me what? Is that why I can't perfect for shi sometimes?

[@rinks6600]

Is it possible if you could make a code where you can lock the difficulty to a certain level? I really hate when I'm playing with my friends and out of nowhere im dropping perfects midgame.

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

possible but it's cheating

[@RosebudMartin]

Any ideas on a code that freezes the difficulty at any particular spot? Kinda curious as I don't want things too difficult without grinding the difficulty down, but also not too easy.

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

Possible but it is cheating (2)

[@RosebudMartin]

@pataponsaysdonchaka yea, I know. But since I play alone anyway, that "cheat" only serves to enhance the gameplay experience for me.

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

@@RosebudMartin First, if I share it is public
Second, cannot guarantee you can play alone like forever
Third, if I share only to you it is not fair to other people

[@jaydentt]

how to use the cheat codes in the description?

[@itam0075]

Wait is that in vanilla patapon? or only in mods?

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

Since Vanilla

[@zaglezigawa8415]

Is this setting applicable t patapon 1 and 2 (and Ratatan? ;3)

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

Probably not, Patapon 2 has difficulty in settings
(and do not ask about the Ratatan they are NOT official Patapon franchise)

[@zaglezigawa8415]

​@@pataponsaysdonchakaI am playing patapon 2 on hard ;), and I was kidding about ratatan

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

@@zaglezigawa8415 oh, I think perfect range changes only in easy, hard works differently
Patapon 3 perfect drumming range is pretty notable as you see in the video

[@DonPuffles]

Eskibili

[@erher1433]

The moment I learned about this I redirected all my hatred towards this feature
literally garbage

[@pataponsaysdonchaka]

Patapon 3 is not the only one, the hidden difficulty is surprisingly common in game
To encourage players with less skill and give challenge to skilled player, to make game fun(with fair difficulty) for everyone
