I’ve recently come crawling back to Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout - a game that I played almost exclusively when it launched last year (along with everyone else). It’s not that I necessarily grew tired of the game, it’s just that I wasn’t very good at it. I think I might only have one crown under my belt… err, atop my head. I also was never one to care too much about the various costumes and other cosmetic items that could be earned and unlocked. I rolled with my run-of-the-mill pink and purple donut-sprinkled Fall Guy until I stopped playing.
Now that I’m back, though, I’m beginning to see the appeal of setting my character apart from the rest of the pack. Yet, even with the recent Among Us collaboration, I’m still not jonesing for any of the particular costumes that are currently available in the game via DLC packs. So, that got me thinking: what costume would I be willing to work towards? It didn’t take long for me to realize that there is one property that I’d absolutely go all-in on: Disney.
One thing you should know about me is that my entire right arm features a tattoo sleeve of Disney characters. Winnie the Pooh, Elsa, Scrooge McDuck, Ariel… they’re all there. The good guys, that is. I have other plans for the iconic Disney villains, but I digress.
I’d absolutely love to see some sort of Disney collaboration in Fall Guys. Perhaps start off with the classic clubhouse gang of Mickey, Minney, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto. Follow that up with other popular characters such as Woody and Buzz Lightyear (or any Pixar character for that matter). A Baymax costume almost makes too much sense. Even more obscure characters could work, like Iago from Aladdin or Pain and Panic from Hercules.
Perhaps an even better idea, though, would be to begin with a Sisu costume from Raya and the Last Dragon with all of the proceeds going to a charitable organization aimed at putting an end to racism and violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, such as Stop AAPI Hate. A Godzilla 1995 outfit is currently available for five crowns (ten total for the upper and lower parts of the costume). It’s not unreasonable to think that a Sisu outfit could be just as easily added.
I’m not the only one with the idea of a Disney/Fall Guys collaboration, either. A quick Google or Reddit search will return plenty of similar requests and fan art of Fall Guys donning the various outfits of well-known Disney characters. Will this kind of collaboration ever happen? Probably not. But a dream is a wish your heart makes… or so I’m told.
