== History ==
=== Pre-YouTube ===
In the early 2000s, before the establishment of the popular video streaming platform YouTube, Jay had already been creating content. In May 2000, they produced a pizza-making video,https://youtu.be/vm_ZVFKbUO0 and just over a year later, they unveiled Super Mario Crossover, a project they had been working on for 15 months.https://web.archive.org/web/20100520010639/http://www.explodingrabbit.com/about/frequently-asked-questions These creations demonstrate Jay's passion and expertise as a content creator, demonstrating their extensive history and years of hard work in the media industry.
=== YouTube Channel ===
It was opened on April 30, 2010, and their first video was uploaded on July 1, 2010, where he explained that he could upload videos on YouTube.
== Production Trouble on Kickstarter Project ==
Hyper Manni Pals (formerly known as Glitch Strikers and Super Retro Squad) is a spiritual successor of Super Mario Crossover that came up with the idea in 2012https://youtu.be/Dr9IL7wR9hs and the project cost $53,509 to backhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/explodingrabbit/super-retro-squad?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=Super%20Retro%20Squad%20
The trailer for Glitch Strikers was revealed in 2017. However, the name was changed again in 2018, when they accidentally leaked the possible final name for the game on Discord Server, although the channel and the server were deleted for unknown reasons.
After five years of inactivity, Jay eventually returns and confesses about the project. The game was on hiatus due to poor management (e.g., changing the game name several times and not paying people), and the budget for the game needed to be more.
The channel bio was changed to "Creator of Super Mario Crossover. Failure of Super Retro Squad". It is unknown whether the game is canceled or not.
Jay is resuming development for Glitch Strikers, and they are using Bevy engine instead of Unity
