Unironically, this uses exactly the game design principles Arin is constantly ranting about. There was no long-winded tutorial, no grandoise story to explain why you have to do what the game is asking of you. As soon as he stepped on the catwalk, context clues made it apparent that he had to repeat the previous dance practice he'd done

What I'm trying to say is, this is Arin's perfect game

This is why Game Grumps is so good.
Playing the games of the people, not just the latest trend of the week

"Oh it's paint by numbers, you can do whatever you want."

literally the opposite of how to paint by numbers

Finally, a REAL gamer's game.

Hearing arin scream COME ONNNN while playing a Barbie game just really pulls my entire Monday together

@mizukisoups

Barbie walked so Xerxeneea could run

Barbie Super Model is truly the Dark Souls of dress up games for very small children.

19:35 "It's okay, it's the unavoidable chin move." Damn, Dan dropping a reference that sent me time-traveling back a few years.

"Hi barbie, it's ken, I miss you. It's so quiet after you died. There's nothing, but the voices.... they never stop...

 SEE YOU IN AN HOUR! "

@afreakingdork

I can't tell you how validated I feel. This is such a pinnacle game from my childhood. I would always rant and rave about how hard Barbie: Super Model was and no one believed me. When I saw this pop up in my feed all I could think was, "They're never getting past the snow level." Seeing Arin die twice in a row there was just UGH!! Cut quote of him saying this is the hardest game he's ever played and place it with him talking about how into it he was getting. Best play through!

I LOVE it when Grumps play Barbie games, especially old ones! They're so weird, like they operate on their own logic. And they're all simultaneously so idyllic and unsettling at every turn.

@mrtoast244

This game is a bit too girly for my taste. They should play a real mans game like "Detective Barbie In The Mystery Of The Carnival Caper (1998)". But fr the Detective Barbie games are weirdly intense, especially the music.

I love getting a video like this in my recommended and never knowing if it’s from today or 7 years ago. The Grumps are my universal constant

@lkcullen1918

I'm a zoomer but I grew up with my Dad's Super Nintendo hooked up to the tv in my bedroom. And there was a BUCKET of games. We mostly played co-op stuff together like Mario World/ Kart or Donkey Kong wayyy past bedtime. I'd always sit on the floor right in front of the tv and he'd be on my bed behind me. And when I'd play this exact Barbie game he'd sit there and genuinely enjoy watching me play and we would talk and joke the whole time. He was the best.

@Tassatus

4:39 I’m pretty sure Arin is thinking of Larger Than Life by the Backstreet Boys

22:56 Update: he figures it out

@SisterlingSoap

I used to play this game SO MUCH as a kid. If it makes you feel better, Arin, I could never get past the snow level myself. But then I was also, like, 7. Still.

@spacesquid95force25

SNES era one offs feels very much like classic game grumps.

@rainbowsupernova86

This game TORMENTED me and my sister in elementary school. Thanks for unlocking that forgotten anxiety. Who had the time to memorize those magazine covers???

5:09 Are you dreaming at being at the beach, While you at the F*CKING BEACH?!?!?!

@Tolwrath

Wow, Arin really DID get tickets to the Backstreet Boys reunion tour. And here I thought it was just code-word for covid this whole time.
