Puzzle Room, sometimes referred to as НЕТ (Russian for "no", pronounced "nyet"; commonly misinterpreted as "het"), is a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel, consisting of references to the infamous, quickly-deleted SiIvaGunner rip "Puzzle Room - Kirby: Planet Robobot", the vast majority of which involve the Kirby Planet Robobot track "Rhythm Code" (previously known as "Puzzle Room", was titled "Program Rhythm" on GilvaSunner).
Overview[]
The ZX Spectrum homebrew title Uwol: Quest for Money, with music by Augusto Ruiz, has been ported to other homebrew platforms, including the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The Genesis arrangements of the soundtrack were done by Shiru. The title theme from the Genesis port was one of the many themes stolen and used in a number of Russian bootleg Sega Genesis games (presumably produced by the same company) which feature completely different, unrelated music from their source material, including Mario 3: Vokrug Sveta, Mario 4: Kosmicheskaya Odisseya, and of course Felix the Cat (which is based on the identically-named NES game). The Uwol: Quest for Money track appears in these games on the continue screen, and is noticeably faster than in its original game, but is otherwise identical.

Continue screen.

In a June 2015 stream[1], Vinesauce Joel played the Felix the Cat bootleg. He died and ended up at the continue screen, which says:
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 the game over screen, with text reading "ИГРА ОКОНЧЕНА" ("THE GAME IS OVER") over a 2011 artwork by artist Kris "Dozign2kill" Balerite titled Felix the Cat Unmasked.[2] The artwork depicts Felix ripping off his own face, revealing a one-eyed skull underneath, with blood spilling from his torn-off skin. Joel was extremely shocked by the image and went on a rant about how inappropriate it was. His shocked reaction became a meme in the Vinesauce community.
Rips[]
On June 18, 2016, just a few videos into the reboot, SiIvaGunner uploaded a rip called "Puzzle Room - Kirby: Planet Robobot" ("Rhythm Code" being referred to as "Puzzle Room" due to not having an official title at the time), which was intended as a reference to Joel's aforementioned stream. The rip was created by Le Ruse Bird, a then-member of SiIvaGunner's managerial team, after noticing the similarities between "Rhythm Code" and "Continue?". Partway into the rip, it abruptly switched to the "Continue?" theme, and the words "ДА" and "НЕТ" appear with annotated links above them. Clicking on the "ДА" annotation led to the music video "Russkij Pusskij" by Carlito. Aiming to directly reference the Felix the Cat game over screen, Le Ruse Bird initially wanted to have "НЕТ" lead to an image of Kirby ripping off his own face[3], but no such image existed on the Internet at the time, so he instead opted for an image of a "harlequin baby" (a baby with harlequin-type ichthyosis, a genetic skin disorder that results in thickened skin and various deformities), intending to replicate the original screen's shock value. If the viewer didn't click either annotation, the rip itself ended with a dark-skinned hand clicking on "НЕТ" and a picture of the same harlequin baby with the Hypernova Yourself! filter applied.
The inclusion of such shock imagery resulted in severe backlash from the SiIvaGunner community. The SiIvaGunner team deleted the rip after a few hours and removed Le Ruse Bird from the managerial team for a few days.[4] The situation was publicly addressed in several tweets by the @GiIvaSunner Twitter account, initially in-character as SiIvaGunner, stating "I accidentally uploaded a low quality rip today. I'm sorry and I promise I will never upload a video of that quality ever again. I swear it."[5], but then with a thread addressing the video earnestly and out of character:[6]
Okay, I'm going to break character for this. Someone fucked up and uploaded a shock video without any consent from the rest of the group.
This is something I or the rest of the team would never have uploaded, and me, just waking up to this news, is extremely upset.
I hope to continue to entertain you all with awesome music and wacky misleads, not things that will make you honestly hate me.
Last thing I'll say on the matter, and then I will go back into character and never reference this rip ever again: (continued)
I hope that you all can find it in your hearts to trust my videos and forgive me again.
Shortly after these tweets, a video titled "Apology." was uploaded to the channel, being the first video to break the channel's kayfabe in its history. The video (assumed to be made by Chaze the Chat, as with the tweets) apologized for the incident, stating again that the rip was uploaded without the consent of anyone else on the team and that it didn't represent what the channel stood for. It adds the detail that that it wasn't supposed to be part of the reboot either.
The first rip to reference the incident, not counting the incident itself or the apology, is "Continue? - Felix the Cat", which was uploaded on June 21, 2016 and features "Rhythm Code" as its joke. It would go on to become a major channel joke, primarily centered on the track "Rhythm Code" with other references only appearing occasionally. As part of the Season 1 Finale, a replacement rip now known as "Puzzle Room (Rhythm Code) - Kirby Planet Robobot" was uploaded. In this rip, "Continue?" is arranged in the style of "Rhythm Code" rather than abruptly replacing it, and the image at the end is replaced with original artwork of Kirby with harlequin ichthyosis. On the first anniversary of the original incident, the channel hosted a Puzzle Room Rip 1st Anniversary event. The non-"Rhythm Code" aspects of the meme had a minor boost in relevance during the Putin Takeover due to their Russian origin.
Rhythm Code[]

An area where "Rhythm Code" plays in Kirby Planet Robobot.
"Rhythm Code" is the actual name of the track referred to by the original rip as "Puzzle Room". It is by far the most used source related to the meme, being featured in over 300 rips. It is mostly used as a melody change in medley rips. Usually, the only part of the track that appears is the beginning. It notably appeared in "P-R-O-G-R-A-M (Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection) - Kirby Planet Robobot", indicating that it was already considered a major channel joke by the end of the reboot. "Rhythm Code" is also a frequently ripped track. Most rips of the track reference the meme.
Continue?[]
"Continue?" refers to the track played in the Felix the Cat bootleg. Similarly to "Rhythm Code", it is primarily used as a melody change joke, but with the exception of rips of "Rhythm Code" directly, in which case its instruments are used, usually replacing the entire track so as to mimic the structure of the original rip. The vast majority of rips featuring "Continue?" are rips of or also featuring "Rhythm Code". It most notably appears on its own in "Light".
Russkij Pusskij[]

The album cover of Carlito's World Wild, which contains "Russkij Pusskij".
Though not directly featured in the original rip, "Russkij Pusskij" by Carlito is another track often featured as part of the Puzzle Room meme. Similarly to "Continue?", it is mostly used in rips of or also featuring "Rhythm Code". Unlike "Rhythm Code" and "Continue?", it is notably used more frequently as a mashup joke, although it is also used as a melody change joke. It most notably appears on its own in "Type A (Beta Mix) - Tetris".
Character[]
In the Central Canon Continuum, Nutshackwoodman34, and AI Universe, the minor character Felix the Cat is used to personify the meme.
In the AI Universe specifically, Felix the Cat only appears as a corpse and the character Carlito is the main personification instead. Both characters only appear in Curse of the Fallen Angel.

Trivia[]
- The meme was alluded to on the actual GilvaSunner channel, where SBFR's remix of "Rhythm Code" was given the title "нет головоломки?".
- The infamous rip that started the meme is actually the second appearance of the Felix the Cat bootleg game on the channel: the first is "Main Theme - Power Rangers: Time Force (GBA)", uploaded two days earlier.
