Thorn suggested redubbing the original ''PMDA'' for its first birthday. However he and Yoshi could not find a raw video for it, and after rewatching the video Thorn decided it was not good enough to warrant a straight redub.

Development Notes

However she and Yoshi could not find a raw video for it, and after rewatching the video Thorn decided the script was not good enough to warrant a straight redub. Yoshi found a raw on May 10, 2014, so he and Thorn decided to remake it from the ground up instead. They rewrote the script from scratch on June 2 and 4. The video was voiced and edited from the 7th to the 13th, and uploaded on the 14th for the original's fourth birthday.
