Pinkio: Difference between revisions

'''Pinkio''' is a Rolling Sky Content Creator from Guatemala. He's known on YouTube by the Rolling Sky community for posting very diverse & creative content about the game, and is also known in Rolling Lounge.

Pinkio created a YouTube Channel in July 4, 2015. However, the first video was uploaded until February 1, 2018, which features a game called "Neo-Sonic"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzXkmh3tvNs</ref> which were then followed by more videos with Sonic games as the main topic. His first Rolling Sky video was uploaded 1 year and 8 months later (on October 12, 2019) and it featured the perfect completion of the level "E-Labyrinth".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBbQJi1_EY4</ref>  

Pinkio maintains a semi-active YouTube Channel, where he uploads unique videos of experiments, lists, music montages, updates, information & other features about Rolling Sky. He managed to get to 4,600 subscribers (as of May 2026), being one of the most popular Rolling Sky Content Creators on YouTube. He has also uploaded videos about Dancing Line and Piano Tiles 2, both of them being some of the most popular Cheetah Mobile games (along with Rolling Sky itself).

A notable trait of Pinkio is the unique recording type, which doesn't feature a screen recording of the gameplay, but rather a video of the screen of his phone is shown, taken with an external camera.

The main reason why Pinkio records his videos with this method is because, when he started recording Rolling Sky videos, his phone was unable to handle an internal recording app, so he used to borrow his older brother's phone to record the gameplay for all the levels. A showcase of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJOUQB1pWy4 Pinkio's recording place & video editing methods can be seen here]. Even though Pinkio has got better phones by now, he got used to this recording method since then and still uses it, as it eventually became a recognizable icon of his channel.

Another reason why he uses this recording method is to show his hands' movements while he plays, so it would be easier to understand which movements he does at any part of the gameplay. This was inspired by some of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMUjsRW1LlU&t=9s SHAvibe's videos of Rolling Sky] and the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRiURueMSsc Glory YT's videos of Piano Tiles 2].  The Pinkio's gameplay testing [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTcyn0ES5gU Rolling Sky on Nintendo Switch] is also recorded with an external camera due to this same purpose.

The content that Pinkio uploads on YouTube varies a lot as he uploads anything that he thinks it's fun to watch or worth recording, but asides from these experimental videos, he also often uploads some specific categories of videos. The following is a table with all the Pinkio's YouTube playlists about his Rolling Sky videos or other related games.

|Lists that order the levels according to which of them fits better on certain topics, like emotional, hardest, weirdest or underrated levels. It was initially inspired on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul2eladThsM Phuong Nguyen's Top 5 videos]. Most of these are based on Pinkio's personal opinions, the community's consensus, and/or some other data.

|Playlist for custom content (levels or even entire fangames) that isn't present on the original Rolling Sky game. All of Pinkio's custom levels are included here. Check the "Rolling Sky Remake" sub-section below on this article to find a table that describes all of the levels he has created.

|A series of videos where Pinkio plays every single major Rolling Sky update but 5 years after they were originally released, starting from [https://rs.miraheze.org/wiki/1.2.7 version 1.2.8 (September 2016)], a small update after the level Castle in the Sky got added to the game (which was known as "X" due to the levels using roman numbers as their names in the past). The main purpose of this series is to archive all the important updates that Rolling Sky had throughout its development up until Monster City, which was the last level before the developers temporally stopped working on the game.

As every video of this series is intended to be uploaded 5 years after a new level was released, the order of the years to be uploaded on this series is the following:

|Similar to the playlist above, but on this case, focused on reviewing & informing about the newer Rolling Sky updates as they were coming out. It includes videos where Pinkio played every new update during the time they were released. Note that those videos stopped coming out after June 2025 due to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_52ErAnzpG8 Pinkio's "semi-retirement" from active content production].

|A series of videos where Pinkio narrates every relevant thing he has lived with the Rolling Sky game, covering events that had influence on it since even before he found about the game's existence.

|Everything about Pinkio's World Records with Rolling Sky and other high scores is included here.

Rolling Sky used to have individual leaderboards where, per every time you completed a level, you'd be awarded with one star it (e.g.: beating E-Labyrinth 5 times in a row would grant 5 stars on the rankings for E-Labyrinth specifically).

However, you would lose all your stars on that specific level at the moment you failed to complete it, either by crashing with an obstacle or falling off the ground (Shields, Floaters & leaving the level through the pause menu can be used to avoid this situation).

While you can still get stars, the online rankings were closed around January 28, 2022 and it is unknown if they will come back, or when.

The most notable World Records from Pinkio are the following:

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW4dQZOtRIk <nowiki>Football Field [1010 Stars]</nowiki>]: Achieved on February 3, 2020. Pinkio is the first fully-documented case of a player that has reached the 1000 Stars marker on the Rolling Sky level leaderboards, which caused an unknown bug that stopped him from being able to connect to this level's individual rankings, presumably because the servers' database might not be able to handle numbers that are over three-digits long, which could have happened because the developers didn't initially think a player would legitimately reach this far. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW4dQZOtRIk&list=PLijHggUChHNOzuTIckCPkgEZl9Uxr7C_i&index=6 This world record also has a separate playlist that can be found here].

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wVAbWq5vdw <nowiki>Championship [53 Stars]</nowiki>]: Done on October 12th-14th, 2020 during a time Pinkio's internet modem was being replaced and he didn't have any sort of internet connection on these days. He considers this to be the "Easiest World Record Ever" (which is also the video's title).

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3huoCHc1HdA <nowiki>Anniversary [8 Stars]</nowiki>]: Recorded on May 11, 2021. Pinkio was able to record the entire run in just one single video, which is also the reason why he considers this to be the "Fastest World Record Ever", as he basically didn't need to practice at all before attempting it.

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Gk7oZ6XAc&lc=Ugz6MUtNNar2knJo32R4AaABAg.9ERrzjbxmfw9EUQepQiNFN <nowiki>Rolling Sky v1.0.0 Perfect% Speedrun [8:07.30]</nowiki>]: Attempt done on September 21, 2020. This was the only time-based speedrun that Pinkio attempted to do with this game, as Rolling Sky practically doesn't feature any time-based features due to the fact the levels always has the same length, so the difficulty of this speedrun remains in navigating fastly on the menus and perfecting the levels. ''(Note: This world record was broken on October 12, 2025 by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPH_yUgM1cg Hien Vu, getting a time of 8:03.15])''

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if84PDyu634 Reggae any% Speedrun in 2:01.87]: A challenge that was initially a joke, performed by using the level's checkpoints along with floater powerups (+ the scarab skin) in order to skip the slowdown mechanic. Note that this run was done on version 4.9.0, right before [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN2tswWuK-g&t=454 update v4.9.2] where the level Reggae was modified by getting a few optimizations.

|These are Rolling Sky videos that were either made or translated to the Spanish language. This was initially done to attract spanish public because Pinkio's native language is Latin American Spanish, as he's from Guatemala and English is his second language. Some other videos about single level completions might even have their title & description translated to Japanese & Chinese (Traditional). For the most part, he stopped translating the videos to Spanish & other languages because it takes too much time & work for him to do.

The following ones are the most relevant playlists that might not be related directly with Rolling Sky.

The following is a table of information about every level that Pinkio has created on Rolling Sky Remake. ''(Note: This list was last updated on September 14, 2024.)''

|The music used on this level is a remix of the song "I'm Here", which is the main theme song for the game Sonic Frontiers (2022). The remix was done by Laser Soul. The release date of the video was chosen due to the coincidental closeness of their birthday dates (Laser Soul is from June 30th and Pinkio from July 3rd, the two being born on 2004).

|A joke level derivated from a recurring comment ("you miss the gem") seen on the RS' gameplay videos where the player doesn't obtain all the gems or crowns on a level. As a result, all the collectibles on this level are unobtainable. The level was created on the beta version of Rolling Sky Remake & got published as an April Fools special. ''(Note: This is currently the last custom Rolling Sky level created by Pinkio as of July 2026)''

Pinkio started playing Geometry Dash on January 2015. His in-game user is Pinkio<ref>[https://gdbrowser.com/u/Pinkio PINKIO's Profile (Geometry Dash)]</ref> and has uploaded some levels, most of them being low quality ones made just for fun, his most notable one being "Soccer", which is based on the football team "FC Barcelona", and the level has over 20k downloads and 750+ likes as of July 2026.<ref>[https://gdbrowser.com/6982968 'Soccer' by Pinkio on the website GD Browser]".</ref>

Pinkio has also been uploading long videos completing many levels & showcasing their gameplay. The videos can be found at the top of the Geometry Dash playlist. He also publishes in-game a list with all the levels he records, just in the case anyone else wants to play them too.<ref>[https://gdbrowser.com/lists/PINKIO?user Pinkio's In-Game Lists on Geometry Dash].</ref>

A series of [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfzFdwGqFRfE gameplays about the EarthBound saga (published by Nintendo) can be found here], which are some of Pinkio's favorite games. These videos are unique because they cut all the extra content that doesn't deal with the game's lore to make the videos shorter, in order to let viewers watch the entire gameplay on way less time, removing around 2/3 of the length that it would take to complete the games by normal means. [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKNW8aoFUgok A spanish gameplay version was also intended to be made], but it's uncomplete because it lacks the gameplay for Mother 3.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EnUX8Kxxyo&list=PLijHggUChHNMGppBXr1On1e6uLmTJ6Pk3&index=2 The EarthBound gameplay] (which is the 2nd game of the trilogy) is also known for being the longest video uploaded on Pinkio's main channel, lasting almost 12 entire hours. Another video that shares this trait is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvrqsnXACJM the MaternalBound gameplay], which is a modified version of the aforementioned game.

Pinkio's fond of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxk7K3APE34&list=PLmFnlt__60HXykKMD4ha90NxOT6t0TIlP&index=34 Sonic Robo Blast 2], a fangame that he plays since around 2007 (arguably, it might even be the first videogame he ever played), joining online multiplayers on late 2016. He was extremely active on netgames during 2017 & 2018. Part of the SRB2 community brought him to Discord & made him interested on joining more gaming communities in general (including Rolling Lounge itself).<ref>"[https://mb.srb2.org/threads/what-was-the-first-version-of-srb2-yall-played.35807/page-4#post-582636 <nowiki>[...] i spent insanely active during 2017 and a big part of 2018...

On April 21, 2021, Pinkio was promoted to Jr. Staff in the server after a successful staff application, taking the roles of Moderation and Configuration in the server until December 31, 2021, when he was demoted of the staff team due to lack of time for moderation.<ref>"[https://discord.com/channels/400983101507108874/400983101507108876/975745416282898522 i don't have spare time to be a part of the staff team on this server, but yeah it was pretty fun while i lasted there]" - Pinkio, on May 16, 2022.</ref> On March 24, 2024, Pinkio reached the personal milestone of 10,000 RT (Rolling Tokens) after 3 years of work, which he used to buy the 'YouTube Notification' from the server shop, a function from the MEE6 bot that automatically posts all his YouTube videos to the server's "#videos" channel. <ref>[https://discord.com/channels/400983101507108874/539955624784691231/1221442310437474304 The message on #bot-cmds where Pinkio had a balance of 10,000 RT.]</ref>

#* His older brother, known as "Aneliomo" or "Norjajetu", was the one who came up with the user name "Super Pinkio" to create Pinkio's Club Penguin™ account, as he joined on Saturday, April 24, 2010 and his brother joined the game a day before. Pinkio also uploaded a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QlUqXYIgfM photo album with a lot of screenshots from the Club Penguin™ game] where the mentioned user name can be seen.

#* Since December 2023, his current phones are: a OnePlus Nord N10 5G [BE2029] and a Motorola Moto E22 [MOTOE22BCO]. Both of them has been used to play & record, but OnePlus gets used more often to play the game due to it having less input lag.

# His current most popular video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oo7MfW7oLY "Can You Beat Rolling Sky Without Getting Gems?"], was posted while Pinkio was in a virtual class. This video wasn't planned to be posted at the moment it was published (on March 12, 2021), and Pinkio has joked saying that it was "the best accident of his life". The video has 84,392 views as of July 8, 2026.

#* Despite the infamous "Skeleton Party accident", the most viewed part of the video remains to be minute 5:34, where a bug with Digital Matrix's 1st gem (located at 11%) can be seen.
