"Puzzle Room" (officially titled "Rhythm Code", was titled "Program Rhythm" on GilvaSunner) is a frequently ripped track from the game Kirby Planet Robobot. It is also a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel, sometimes referred to as НЕТ (Russian for "no", pronounced nyet; commonly misinterpreted as het) in reference to the rip "Puzzle Room - Kirby: Planet Robobot", infamous for its shocking content.

Vinesauce Joel's stream

In a June 2015 stream Vinesauce Joel played a Russian bootleg Sega Genesis Felix the Cat game. He died and ended up at a continue screen that said:

ПОПЫТОК: 2
ПРОДОЛЖИТЬ?

ДА НЕТ

Translation:

TRIES: 2
CONTINUE?

YES NO

Joel wanted to end the game so he chose "НЕТ", notably mispronouncing it as "hhhhhet". This prompted a game over screen with text reading "ИГРА ОКОНЧЕНА" ("THE GAME IS OVER") and featured a 2011 artwork by artist Kris "Dozign2kill" Balerite titled Felix the Cat Unmasked. The artwork depicts Felix ripping off his own face, revealing a one-eyed skull underneath, with blood spilling from his torn-off skin. Joel's shocked reaction became somewhat of a meme among the Vinesauce community.

The "Puzzle Room" Incident

On June 18, 2016, just a few videos into the reboot, SiIvaGunner uploaded a rip called "Puzzle Room - Kirby: Planet Robobot" which was intended as a reference to Joel's aforementioned stream. It featured the music from the bootleg Felix the Cat game's continue and game over screens, as well as the words "ДА" and "НЕТ" with annotated links above them. Clicking on the "ДА" annotation led to the music video "Russkij Pusskij" by Carlito, while clicking on "НЕТ" led to a shock video of a "harlequin baby" (a baby with harlequin-type ichthyosis, a genetic skin disorder that results in thickened skin and various deformities). The rip itself ended with a dark-skinned hand clicking on "НЕТ" and a picture of a harlequin baby with the Hypernova Yourself! filter applied.

The inclusion of such shock imagery resulted in severe backlash the SiIvaGunner community. The SiIvaGunner team quickly deleted the rip and removed its creator Le Ruse Bird from the managerial team (although he was revealed to have rejoined later^{[citation needed]}). The situation was then addressed with several out-of-character tweets by @GiIvaSunner, followed by a video titled "Apology." The tweets and video (assumed to be made by Chaze the Chat) state that the rip was uploaded without the consent of anyone else on the team, that it wasn't supposed to be part of the reboot, and it didn't represent what the channel stood for.

A few days later, the rip "Continue? - Felix the Cat" was uploaded, which contains the first use of "Puzzle Room" as a rip joke, referencing the so-called "'Puzzle Room' incident". Since then, SiIvaGunner has used "Puzzle Room" as a meme featured in several rips. Other references to the incident have been made as well, such as Felix the Cat appearing as a character on many occasions. Unlike the original rip, these references very rarely have truly shocking imagery.

Trivia

• The meme was alluded to on the actual GilvaSunner channel, where a remix of "Program Rhythm" by the Japanese remix community SBFR was given the title "нет головоломки?" (trans. "No puzzle?").
