In 2010, YouTube user "Somecallmejohnny" started making "Let's Play" (abbreviated LP) videos on his second YouTube Channel, "The Super Gaming Bros" (formerly known as SGBlikestoplay). Three of his earliest "Let's Play" videos were of the Nintendo GameCube game Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, The Game boy advance game. Metroid Fusion and the Super Nintendo game Super Metroid.

The only things known about the original Sonic Adventure 2 "Let's Play" is that Johnny's step brother, Elliot Cancel, played through the game, and that Johnny's best friend, Matt (mentioned in part 7 of their 2013 "Let's Play" of the game) remembers Johnny's editing when Elliot played through the level "Mad Space".

The Super Metroid "Let's Play" was hinted to be redone (as mentioned in the channel description) in 2010. The actual redo didn't take place until December 2014. Not much else is currently known about the Super Metroid or Metroid Fusion "Let's Play" videos, although it's fair to assume that Johnny and Elliot's commentary would have been the same style as their other previous "Let's Play" videos.

All three "Let's Play" videos were deleted, with Johnny promising higher-quality "Let's Play" videos in the future. No footage or any archives of the original three videos are known to exist on the internet. While these videos are now lost (as requested by Johnny), many of this fans find this deletion to be disappointing. One reason for the outrage is that most of his current fanbase were not subscribed to him when the original videos were uploaded, and therefore, unable to view these videos. Currently, all that exists of these videos is an archive of the video's playlists on the Wayback Machine.



Additional Lost Videos

In the process of deleting the "Let's Play" videos of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Metroid Fusion and Super Metroid, the finale of the Super Gaming Bros' "Let's Play" of the NES game Super Mario Bros was accidentally deleted.

Due to guilt stemming from the accidental deletion, Johnny remade the "Let's Play" of Super Mario Bros from the Super Nintendo game Super Mario All-Stars. However, as of 2015, nothing of this video has been found or archived, leading some to believe this video is lost forever. Some presume the extent of the video would only have been a playthrough of "World 8-4" of Super Mario Bros along with Johnny and Elliot's final thoughts.
