I Wanna Be The Guy

I Wanna Be The Guy (also referred to as I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game) is a 2D Indie Platformer created by Michael "Kayin" O'Reilly for Microsoft Windows using the engine Multimedia Fusion 2 and first released on 5th October 2007. The game is known for its unusually high difficulty, inventive traps and frequent use of elements such as graphics and music from other games, mostly from the Nintendo Entertainment System.
I Wanna Be The Guy has spawned a large number of fangames based on its gameplay, many of which increase the difficulty to far greater levels. The most popular of these fangames is I wanna be the Fangame! by Tijit.
The source code for the game was released for public use by Kayin in 2011.
In 22nd December 2020, the game was remastered by fans, improving the game while keeping the experience as true as possible, as well as adding bonuses such as new characters from other fangames.
==Plot==
On his 15th Birthday, The Kid leaves home on a quest to become The Guy, a title passed down by defeating the present holder of the title, with his Very Small Gun and Cape of Hero passed down to him by his Grandfather who had previously been murdered for the title. He travels the world, collecting the "Eight Units" in order to unlock the Gate to the Guy. He then takes a minecart to The Guy's Fortress, scaling the castle until he makes it to the final room of the castle where The Guy waits. After learning that The Guy was actually his father, The Kid manages to defeat his father and takes his gun, returning home victorious having become The Guy.
