April Fools' Day was celebrated by GiIvaSunner (i), in 2016. This is the only channel event that took place on the original GiIvaSunner channel, as it was terminated a few days after.
Summary[]
This event had a rather lengthy setup that began in February 2016 with the upload of "Grand Metropolis - Sonic Heroes", a completely unedited rip. This was followed up with several more unedited "Grand Metropolis" rips throughout March 2016.
On March 30th, two "Grand Metropolis" rips were uploaded. Then, "A N N O U N C E M E N T" was uploaded, announcing the very first album, GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 1. This was the first video in the channel's history to not be a "high quality rip", causing much suspicion among fans. The suspicion escalated with the upload of "Last Goodbye - Undertale", the final upload of that day.
GiIvaSunner did not upload anything at all on March 31st, instead letting people think the channel had ended.
Then, on April Fools' Day proper, several unedited video game tracks were uploaded to the channel: the entire soundtrack to The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy and three songs that resembled "Meet the Flintstones" without being edited at all. Meanwhile, the real GilvaSunner (L) uploaded "Final Destination - Super Smash Bros. Brawl", a medley rip that featured several channel jokes. Essentially, the two channels swapped what they usually do.
After the unedited tracks, GiIvaSunner released the low-quality album GiIvaSunner's HighestQuality Video Game Rips Volume 2, via the announcement video "anouncement.wmv". Later still, "Grand Metropolis - Sonic Heroes", an actually edited rip, was uploaded as the final rip of this event.
The initial unedited rips were not included in each game's corresponding playlist on the GiIvaSunner channel, and were instead compiled into a playlist alongside the "Final Destination - Super Smash Bros. Brawl" rip. The playlist was announced on Twitter, where GiIvaSunner (i) claimed that he 'uploaded remixes' and GilvaSunner (L) 'uploaded a high quality rip'.[1] This continued the channel's kayfabe, indicating that GiIvaSunner (i) normally uploads 'high quality rips' while GilvaSunner (L) uploads 'remixes', but that they did the opposite for April Fools'. (The day after April Fools', each of the 'remixes' had their titles changed to declare them as an 'April Fools Remix'.)
GiIvaSunner then made a tweet saying "I quit." which had many people believing that the channel was over yet again.[2] However, this was later followed up by a tweet saying that he only quit making his "remixes" and that he would continue to upload high quality rips.[3]
Following the channel's termination, the "remixes" would not be reposted to SiIvaGunner; only "Grand Metropolis - Sonic Heroes" and "anouncement.wmv" were reuploaded (the latter having only an MP3 mirror for the album and not the original FLAC link).

Trivia[]
- All three of the tracks that were "remixed" due to their resemblance to "Meet the Flinstones" would later receive rips that referenced the resemblance: "Double Down - Sonic Lost World", "Happiness Tower - Sutte Hakkun", and "March of the Dreadnoughts - Final Fantasy XIII". These rips also happened to be uploaded in the same order as the remixes, despite being years apart.
