Outro

The current Outro background

The **Outro** or **End Screen** is a unique video that plays after the end of each Z-Gamer Guys video. Each outro has their own animation and song, as well as a spot for "featured videos" that would end up displaying the YouTube end cards.

## 2019-2020

2019 has the most unique outro songs and backgrounds of any other year.

For the very first upload Mario Sports Mix: Dodge Ball Mushroom Cup, the song "Peanut Butter Jelly" was used, therefore being the first outro song. The outro background was the default iMovie "Industrial" background, which would continue to be the background until the new custom outro in Looking Cool Joker (3.0 Smash Update). Starting from Yoshi's Woolly World - Gameplay Part 1!, the outro song changed to "Sandstorm" by Darude, which was credited as "Darude Sandstorm" or just "Sandstorm".

With the release of the video Looking Cool Joker (3.0 Smash Update) came a brand new outro. The song for the outro "Multiplayer Results" from New Super Mario Bros. Wii would be continuously used for the entire year, and most of 2020. The background has an image of World 1-1 from New Super Mario Bros. Wii with spots on the left for a Related Video and New Video in green text. This is where the end cards were placed. The right side had text saying "Subscribe" in orange with the channel icon placed above it. During the outro, a subscribe and like icon would appear from the bottom, suggesting that the viewer should like and subscribe respectively.

## 2021

After a few videos with no outro, New Super Mario Bros. Wii - Is it Good?, the first Game Review, was released. the song used for the outro was changed to the "Main Menu" from Bakugan Battle Brawlers, since the character George had a strong passion for the game. A metal wall with Bakugan Battle Brawlers insignia would close on top of the current scene, opening to reveal a new green background with footage of multiple different video games. These games shown include Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Paper Mario: Color Splash, FlingSmash, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Mario Strikers Charged, Wii Sports Resort, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit Plus, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party 10, Wii Sports, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Tennis Aces, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Paper Mario, Tetris 99, and Wii Play: Motion.

In Classic NES Series for Gameboy Advance - The Forgotten NES Ports, George interrupts the outro by appearing on screen, asking the viewers to help him out after being dumped by Patricia. The outro was not used in Sealed vs. Used Video Games because it was the 2021 season finale, being replaced with a custom ending. The music was also changed to Options/Battle Arena from Bakugan Battle Brawlers.

## 2022

A new outro was created for 2022, featuring the same green moving background featured in early Game Reviews. In front is a spot for a featured video in text, with a black background outlined in white holding the end cards for a featured video most similar to the current video. The end cards are personally selected by George. In addition, the outro music has changed to "Main Menu" from Face Raiders, and has remained as the outro music for every following video. In George's Video Game Dilemma the credits for 2022 roll, but afterwards, the outro plays like normal.

## 2023

2023 featured a similar outro to the one used in 2022 with some minor adjustments. The featured video text has been outlined in black with a new stylized font, and the white border around the featured video has thickened. The gradient green no longer moves in the background, as the green checkers from the current Game Review background are placed in a diamond formation, spinning around the featured video.

## Trivia

* There have only been a few episodes on the Z-Gamer Guys YouTube channel to have no outro at the end of a video.
