A Hat In Time

"Are you looking for the community?"A Hat In Time is a 3D platformer game. It's in inspiration to the other video games. Such as Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. It was originally released on Steam on October 5, 2017.
In 2022, the creator of the Super Mario 64 Bloopers series "MarioMario7829" is planning to create a spin off series called "A Hat In Time Bloopers" after managing to completely freeze the camera in the game without having to ask the modders to create a camera freeze mods for him. He created a pilot episode called "Hat Kid's Naughty Prank" where Hat Kid tries to interrupt HatHat7829's smug dance and send her to the gallery rift all because HatHat7829 stole her move. He then wants to add a couple of characters from the A Hat In Time Community with the use of the mod named "Character Creator" to customize the Hat Kid model. But it was very very limited due to a lack of texture, eye color, texture editing, and a lack of knowing other members from the community, it's almost impossible to create every model. He then plans to add a deadline date to obtain at least 20 models by January 1, 2023. Otherwise the series will be canceled. As of January 2, 2023, the series has been canceled due to a lack of dye models he has in his checklist.

A new chapter has been added to the game called "The Arctic Cruise". With only 6 time pieces to collect. Also adding to the DLC excusive is a special move to Hat Kid which allows her to swing her arms side to side. It was commonly called a "Smug Dance" As this move became a meme. A new mode was also added to the DLC called "Deathwish". Which is a even harder version of the levels that players normally play. With 111 stamps to collect. Which is unlocked after the player completes the Chapter 3 act "Your Contrast Has Expired". It's a more challenging version of the regular levels with 3 stamps to collect. Only 34 levels are available in this mode. There's also a mode call "Peace & Tranquility" which allows the player to make a deathwish level alot easier with the amount of Pons needed to pay it out. This doesn't increase their score however.
===Nyakuza Metro & Online Party===
On April 2019, a second DLC was announced by Gears For Breakfast that a new DLC for A Hat In Time is yet to be released on May 10, 2019. A new chapter has been added to the DLC exclusive called "Nyakuza Metro". Which is a free roam course just like Alpine Skyline. With only 10 time pieces to collect. There's also a new mode that was added only exclusively to Steam users on PC called "Online Party". Which allows a maximum of 50 players to interact each other and mess around like playing tag or hide and seek. There are also stickers added everywhere to the Nyakuza Metro course and the player must find all of it. With this, the player can press the F key. Which opens up the emote wheel and allows them to say something to other players.
===Creator DLC: Vanessa's Curse (Steam Only)===
On 2021, the team of the A Hat In Time Community named "Creator DLC" created a 3rd DLC exclusive to be released for Steam on November 27, 2021 called "Vanessa's Curse". Which is a online player vs player of one deadly tagging game. Their objective in this game is to collect all of the crowns while the cursed players tried to tag all of the players. There are also a roulette wheel for Snatcher and Queen Vanessa. And will try to give a player some power ups to either player depending on their state and tried to make it harder/easier for cursed players to tag non-cursed players. The game ends when all crowns are collected, all players were tagged, or when the time runs out. There's also a shop for players to buy goodies when they collected enough crowns or souls. There's also a Timeout room for players who were caught cheating or been playing unfairly. Thus, the players will be forced stay in the room for a couple of minutes before getting out.
A total of 9 roulette are listed as it follows:
===== Snatcher Wheel =====
* Noodly Annoyance - Snatcher will block visibility from them Vanessa's Puppets Team. Making it difficult to navigate.
* Invisibility - Makes the Snatcher Minions Team invisible for a while. This pervents any curse puppets from tagging them. (WARNING: THIS ROULETTE CAN BE BROKEN)
* Sprint Steal - Snatcher will steal Vanessa's Puppets Team's sprint hat and cannot be used until the timer runs out. This makes it alot harder for them to tag.
===== Vanessa Wheel =====
* Group Warp - Warps all players to the starting places. (ie: the front enterance) Making the Vanessa's Puppets Team easier to tag the Snatcher Minions Team.
* Extended Curse - Gives a larger hitbox to the puppets team. This makes it easier for them to tag the Snatcher Minions Team.
* Cursed Fog - Makes the Snatcher Minions Team harder to navigate through the mannor in this terrible fog. This makes it easier for the puppets to tag them as no fog is shown in their pov.
===== Hardcore =====
* Random Warp - Randomly warps the players to a spot where the player is located.
* Sudden Flood - The level is flooded. This makes all players difficult to navigate when they are in water. (This can make them jump higher but can fall a bit slowly)
* Flash Freeze - The platforms are slippery. This makes all players alot harder to turn around.
==Deathwish Mode==
Deathwish Mode is only available in A Hat In Time: Seal The Deal DLC. It's even harder version of normal levels and must be completed without cheating it off. As Snatcher is not interest with any cheaters attempting to cheese through the level. Completing the death wish will give you a certain prize and unlocks a new death wish levels depending on how many stamps the player has collected. In total, there are 111 stamps to collect. However, 1 extra death wish has been added after a new release of the DLC "Nyakuza Metro", it gives a grand total of 114 stamps to collect. There are only 34 death wish levels to play (+1 if Nyakuza Metro was installed)
===Peace & Tranquility===
Peace & Tranquility is also available during Deathwish Mode after the player is having trouble trying to complete the level. When P&T is activated, it makes the current Deathwish level alot easier than normal. But doesn't affect their score. However, activating that mode will cost a few pons.
