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 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, including one that used the actual beta version.
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, with it also being the first video in the channel's history to not be a "high quality rip", causing much suspicion among fans. The album itself also included the track "Grand Dad Metropolis", which is another unedited version of "Grand Metropolis". 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, various rips were uploaded, most of which being unedited video game tracks, including:
- The entire soundtrack to The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy.
- Three songs that had portions of their melodies that resembled "Meet the Flintstones" without being edited at all.
- "anouncement.wmv" that announced the low-quality album GiIvaSunner's HighestQuality Video Game Rips Volume 2. The album includes 245 copies of "Grand Metropolis" with only one of them being edited.
- "Grand Metropolis - Sonic Heroes", an actual edited rip of "Grand Metropolis".
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.
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. As well as this, the playlist link in the descriptions were originally just "Coming Soon!", before later being changed to the link of the aforementioned playlist. 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.
- The GiIvaSunner team had suggested to the real GilvaSunner that he should upload the rip "Grand Metropolis - Sonic Heroes" to his channel for April Fools' alongside "Final Destination - Super Smash Bros. Brawl", but due to this rip's joke being less obvious, GilvaSunner decided to only post "Final Destination - Super Smash Bros. Brawl".[4]
- Not counting GiIvaSunner Termination, this is the only event to be hosted on the original GiIvaSunner.

- "[...] our first contact was when we talked to him about our idea of having him upload 1-2 rips (Final Destination and Grand Metropolis) for april fools. He decided to only upload Final Destination since it was more fitting for him as his subscribers would most likely understand the joke on that on as opposed to a flintstones grand metropolis."
