EVOLUTION OF MY WORK (2017-PRESENT) by Nikos Toru

The Plush Show

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 00:54:08 UTC

Because I enjoyed making the spy movie so much, I turned it into a show. However, I didn’t like how it was turning out as episodes kept getting darker and darker. So I did a finale in 2018 and ended it. There are no episodes I kept except for a couple images (like the one in this picture)

The Spy Who Saved Everyone

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 00:56:50 UTC

As a kid, I was inspired by plushtubers like SML, CrazyMarioBros and AwesomeMarioBros. So, I made a home movie called “The Spy Who Saved Everyone” which starred a Mario Boo saving the world from Bowser JR.

ZeldaMaster3D

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:01:28 UTC

As a kid one afternoon when I was playing Ocarina Of Time 3D on my couch, I decided to do a little voiceover for my game. Nothing too fancy. I’d just comment on something here ‘n there or go “AHHHHH”. Well after a while, I turned it into a full fake “YouTube channel” with a thousand followers (am I the only one who did this?). Well I decided to name myself ZeldaMaster3D. Unfortunately, I found out later that there was already a Zelda Master I cut that name short.

The Plushie Show

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:11:42 UTC

A couple months after I cancelled my old show…I decided it was too fun to quit, and came back with a more light-hearted show that has the same title, plus two letters. The image shows some old thumbnails that also show the episode’s plots. I needed this in early 2019 because I wanted to “reboot it” after I ran out of material with the current characters

HyruleGamer

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:18:32 UTC

So because I didn’t want a stolen name, I starting doing fake YouTube videos again as “HyruleGamer”. Sam’s diff as before except I’d actually make thumbnails for fake videos to make it seem realer to me. HOWEVER…it happened AGAIN. I realized I had ANOTHER Zelda YouTuber’s name, and felt discouraged. I gave it up for a few months.

Power Z Portable

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:23:30 UTC

Before I begin, yes…I’m aware the image is a Nintendo 3DS. I was one lazy kid. Anyway, I designed a concept of a portable console in my head that could play Nintendo games from NES, to Nintendo 3DS, and they’d be re-released as small discs like how the PlayStation Portable worked. And yes, I know. That price is outrageous. As a kid, I didn’t realize how steep that was for a portable.

Luigi’s Journey!

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:30:17 UTC

In between the rebooting the show, I made a separate mini-series that took place in another universe called Luigi’s Journey. It was inspired by many Paper Mario games, and the Mario’s Quest series by Goomzilla on YouTube. However, after footage in my camera for Episode 3 got corrupted, I gave up. It was originally gonna be a murder mystery in a train episode.

The Ultra Plushie Bros

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:33:16 UTC

Finally! An actual plushtuber name! I finally rebooted the show in mid-2019 with new plots, new characters (technically) and a new intro! It had a REALLY long run, me making episodes until late 2021 where the plots were all over the place, I made several characters break up, all that jazz. Anyway, I gave it the most depressing finale ever and ended it. I took a long break from the plush business.

MinePLUSH Story Mode Seasons 1-4

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:43:29 UTC

I decided the first mini-series was fun to make, and I got hooked on making new ones. So, I decided to do Minecraft Story Mode Seasons 1 & 2. Then, I did my own third seasons where the Moon was crashing slowly into the earth. Then a trailer for a fourth one was made, but I never actually DID it. That’ll be a trend soon…

The Legend Of Luigi

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:46:45 UTC

I made a VERRRYY short-lived mini-series called The Legend Of Luigi. I release an Intro, the Prologue, and Chapter 1. However, it kinda sucked so I ended it and deleted the episodes.

The Ultra Plushie Movie

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:48:47 UTC

Now THIS was a big project! …That failed. I decided after a couple years of filming experience, I wanted to finally make a full fledged MOVIE. With good cameras, props, backgrounds, a soundtrack and a script. However, I gave up halfway through writing and decided I’m better at making episodes. Plus, School was getting rough around that time, and Covid started…

The Hero Of Twlight

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:55:19 UTC

During Covid lockdown, I was trying to think of new hobbies to try. I landed on book writing. Since I’m a HUGE fan of Zelda, I decided to write a book mixing Twilight Princess, and my plush show. Instead of Link, it was Luigi. Instead of Zelda, it was (my version of) Malon. This is the only book I kept because it was my first. Plus I like to compare my current writing to back then.

The Woods Videogame/Novel

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 01:57:29 UTC

So back when I was doing The Plushie Show in 2019, I made what became known as the unfinished series finale to the show. It never did get a proper ending. But it was a two parter (supposed to be 3) called The Woods. Well a year later, I decided to first write a novel on it which I never finished…and then a concept trailer for a video game which I did finish.

The Hero Of Time

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:00:26 UTC

After my first book was finished, I got a taste for writing during the rough lockdown. So this time, it was based on Ocarina Of Time. This one I also finished.

The Hero’s Destiny

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:02:38 UTC

So instead of writing a Majora’s Mask book, I skipped it and made my own creation: A Hero’s Destiny. Which showed Luigi returning to Mushroomia as an adult…but is suffering depression and trauma from so much as a kid. And it dealed with his final journey as he stopped Ganon for the final time. Except he was hurting himself with the trauma and couldn’t fight anymore. It got pretty dark, and was promising but I never finished it.

The Hero Of The Skies

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:04:04 UTC

The final Luigi-Zelda book I wrote. It was based on Skyward Sword. I also finished this one. It was the one I was most proud of because of the huge improvement on my grammar and storytelling. However, I was getting burnt out on the Plush books so I stopped.

DiamondNicktendo

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:08:38 UTC

Finally, I came up with a NON-TAKEN name for my fake YouTube videos! Since then, even though I’ve grown up and stopped doing fake videos in my head, I still use the name Diamond in almost all of my stuff and projects today! Diamond, because that’s my favorite gem…Nick cause that’s my name, and tendo cause of Nintendo. It was perfect for me. Still is!

Sunset Valley

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:10:41 UTC

This one is an odd one, because I don’t really even remember what the plot was SUPPOSED to be for this mini-series. I only ever came up with the name, and a trailer. But the trailer was just random shots I came up with in my head and it looked good. Good thing I canceled it.

Summer Camp

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:12:54 UTC

This sure was a dark mini-series. AND it was canon too. So I made this series where Luigi, Mario and some others get shipped off to Summer Camp. However, it’s basically worse than prison there. They’d make the kids do hard labor, make them sleep on branches for beds, and would hurt them if they stepped out of line. One kid even got shot. There was supposedly a Season 2 in the making but I never got around to it

The SupersTarBros

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:15:14 UTC

My final plushie show. This was my BEST work in terms of filmography, plot, and character development. Plus, it had some deep lore. It ran from 2021 all the way to late-2023, with a HIGH production finale! Unfortunately, I lost all the episodes as the website isn’t up anymore so…oh well.

SoLaRbElL

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:16:50 UTC

Solarbell was a 8 episode high-production mini-series in another universe where after breaking into a facility and falling through a portal, Luigi ended up on a crazy, dangerous, and life-changing journey through dimensions. Season 2 was planned, but unfortunately I never even got to the finale before canceling it

The Snow Quest

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:18:11 UTC

Another attempt at making a full-fledged movie! This one actually made the film, but never got edited and I got rid of the SD Card with the footage. However, I still have the trailer, as well as the memories me and my sister made during film.

The Egypt Quest

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:19:36 UTC

Me and my sister had so much fun filming the first film, we decided to make a sequel: The Egypt Quest. Except this one actually got stopped halfway through filming. All that remains is a trailer…the memories are gone too…and yes, these movies were supposed to be canon.

The Plushie-Pocalypse

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:20:37 UTC

A mini-series I was planning on making that had to do with a Zombie Outbreak. However, the only thing that exists is a teaser, and a trailer. I never even bothered to actually film it.

The Plushie Halloween Special 2022

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:22:09 UTC

The only ever recorded Halloween special. Before you ask, yes…it’s gone too.

CyberVerse

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 02:24:31 UTC

My final plushie project I ever made, before I grew out of the Plush stuff, and have focused on real film, and other things. It was supposed to feature Mario, Luigi and Red Yoshi (Kai) as they ventured a backrooms-like dimension. I only ever made a trailer for Chapter 1. The rest is gone forever.

DiamondStudios

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:01:24 UTC

Back in 2022 when I was getting a little tired of doing plush content, I got really into Gacha animation. And no, I definitely did not make weird or inappropriate content. I just made fun, entertaining videos with my OCs. DiamondStudios was started in early 2022, and continues to this day! Although, the Gacha content isn’t as prominent anymore as the studio has started making actual animation content

Gacha Movie CORRUPTION

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:05:46 UTC

Instead of calling this arcs or mini-series’, I called these Gacha Movies which would consist of 10 chapters or less. This first one was about the Club as they dealt with some otherworldly virus that made them evil, and wanted to turn others evil. Then they found out the cause, which was behind a man named Vulcan. After sealing him in the sword, Nikos and Rosy got together.

Gacha Movie The Colors Of Nikos

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:08:38 UTC

This story was split into three Acts. Act 1 featured episodes 1-10 where Nikos gets split into four of his emotions plus a weird dark aura escapes out the window. Rosy and the emotions team up and head to the forest to find the Forest Temple, where they can re-awaken Courage

Gacha Portal 1 & 2 + Reloaded

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:16:28 UTC

Before and during my first Gacha Movie, I made my first series: Gacha Portal. This was back in 2022 when I played Portal 1 & 2 for the first time, and had a hyperfixation on it after. I finished this, and later made Gacha Portal 2, which was gonna be split into three acts. However, I never finished the second act. I also released a Gacha Portal Reloaded teaser which was based on Portal 2 Reloaded Mod.

Colors Of Nikos ACT II

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:18:55 UTC

Act two was started very late 2022 and into 2023, but I’ll put it in 2023 cause why not? This act featured Rosy and the Emotions as they ventured around the world. Visiting each temple: Volcano Temple, Lakebed Temple, and Desert Temple…each re-awakening the emotion’s powers. Meanwhile, that dark aura who is actually Nikos’ buried Darkness, is teaming up with a crooked teacher.

Colors Of Nikos Act III

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:21:55 UTC

After being told their next destination by Nikos, the crew head to the Sky, to find the Emotion Factory for reasons unknown. When they get there though, Rosy is kidnapped and taken to the School. The Emotions head back to the Surface and back home…where they find the School has been turned into a huge castle. After numerous trials, and Darkness getting his form back, the Emotions fuse back together…save Rosy, and Nikos reconciles with Darkness, where he turns back into Nikos’ lost Emotion: Leadership

Gacha Movie Diamond’s Reflection

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:23:59 UTC

This was a cancelled Gacha Movie that was supposed to be Canon, where Nikos gets pulled into the real world, and realizes his entire world, and all his adventures have been a fake…and created by a man named Diamond. However, I only ever made the first Chapter, and then gave up. But I’m considering bringing this back as a Side-Story for Moonlit Kyoto

Superstar Bros Z

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:27:10 UTC

After watching Super Mario Bros Z, and Team Sonic Adventures on YT, I was inspired to make my own Sprite Animation series. And while it shares the same name as my plush show, they are NOT related. I just got lazy and reused the name. It was gonna be based off SMZ where Sonic and Shadow get pulled into Mario’s world, and team up with him. However, I never did learn Sprite Animation. Maybe someday

Gacha Movie Graduation…

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:31:30 UTC

This movie showed the Cherry Club as they were enjoying their last Summer Vacation. During this, they have a picnic, Nikos moves to a house with Rosy moving in, they go to an Asian Festival, and enjoy fireworks on their last night. Then they graduate, and say their final goodbyes. There was also a deleted scene where Nikos gets shot by a mugger but I wanted it to stay a happy arc.

Crystals Of The Kingdom

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:34:27 UTC

This was a big project for me, where it combined Zelda Breath Of The Wild, and Tears Of The Kingdom with my own story and characters. It was LOOSELY based on the two games, and mainly had its own structure. However, I only ever released the first two chapters, and I quit production on the third. Maybe someday I’ll bring it back, now that I know Tears Of The Kingdom well

Gacha Movie The Diamond Wedding

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:38:01 UTC

This was the final Gacha Movie before I rebooted DiamondStudios basically. It showed Nikos as he tried to propose to Rosy but Vulcan returns and separates the two, putting Rosy in a Limbo world which mirrors their regular one. However, the final episode (which included the actual wedding part) got corrupted and never got released. Then, I rebooted the Gacha videos completely. With new designs, new character development, and a brand new format for the stories

Nikos’ Miitopia Adventures

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:42:17 UTC

This was short-lived, but I released fun Miitopia clips featuring my OCs as Miis. However, I lost that save when I factory reset my Switch, and have been too lazy to EXACTLY recreate every step I took.

Moonlit Kyoto

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:47:05 UTC

When I rebooted my studio, I decided to make my first actual animation: Moonlit Kyoto. Which stuff is still being made for. It’s also what Project MK is being based on, just in a different universe. It also has a book form, which I am still working on. This is my most proud project, and I call it my child.

Across The Big Blue

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 17:48:54 UTC

My second animation project which is STILL ongoing with Season 5 being worked on…it shows my OCs in a pirate world where superpowers are in the form of Power Crystals…and certain people like Nikos get Star Crystals. There is planned to be 20 Seasons, with some movies and video games.

The Cherry Club

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 20:37:41 UTC

A Ren’Py visual novel based on a parallel story of Moonlit Kyoto where you could play as a Male or Female, and date any of the 10 characters. I never fully fleshed out the story, but no need to worry…I’m still planning on doing this game.

ACTBB: Coastal Horizons

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 20:39:40 UTC

Originally titled Project Horizons, this was supposed to be an Across The Big Blue open world RPG set in between Seasons 9 & 10, and yes it was supposed to be canon. Just like The Cherry Club, this game is NOT cancelled. But I’m most focused on Project MK right now.

The Dilapidated House

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 20:44:45 UTC

A short story I wrote, inspired by such material as 1408, The House Of Leaves, The Backrooms, Interstellar and more psychological stories. It followed an unnamed man who moves into a new home and slowly realizes he lives in a house of unimaginable horrors, and isolation

Liminality Series

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 20:46:57 UTC

The trilogy of suspenseful, psychological horror books based on Liminal Spaces and The Maze Runner. It follows a man named Jonas as he tries to remember what the outside world looks like and escape this place, while surviving the worst entities he’s ever seen.

Project MK

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 20:48:52 UTC

A semi-open world RPG featuring the Moonlit Kyoto story told in a completely different way. This is currently in development and is my most fleshed out project in ALL the years I’ve been making stuff. It’s expected to come out around…2031-ish…and I look forward to the day I can show it off, and reveal it’s real name.

Moonlit Kyoto (Gacha)

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 20:50:47 UTC

Exact same story as my regular animation, but in the form of Gacha Club. I currently only have made three episodes, and plan on releasing more when I feel like. This has NO release dates planned.

The Maze Runner (OC Version)

dnthololive — 2025-07-27 21:18:43 UTC

When I first read the Maze Runner series, I got a hyperfixation on it. So one day when I was really bored, I copied the ENTIRE book, and replaced all the names with my characters. Plus, changed some dialogue to match better. It was not meant to be taken seriously or overwrite any work the author made. It was simply for kicks.
