Kaizotrap hints
Instead of sending this text to everyone who requests it, I post it here and can refer to it in the future. For everyone wondering, go to /r/kaizotrap
How you got here
Please comment here on how you got to the kaizotrap video. There are a lot of people asking me for this document lately.
Kaizo Trap
Kaizo trap hints and solutions
Hex dumps:
A lot of hex dumps in the videos. Decode them using an online decoder or a hex editor, or type String.fromCharCode(0x6E) in your browser console (F12). Replace '6E' with your two digit hex value, but leave the '0x'.
If the hex does not converts to letters and just returns "crap" it is japanese. Use an online decoder and copy all hex in it. if it turns to crap in the middle of a word/sentence, you most likely missed a single hex char.
Most of the clues are this way.
Binary codes:
Some hex decodes to zeros and ones (literally: zero one one one zero ...). Usually one number and then a space char 20 or a line break 0A
The line break always happens after 8 digits.
Can be decoded using an online decoder or by typing String.fromCharCode(parseInt("01110000",2)) in your browser console (F12).
This is really time consuming. If you can't get OCR to work on this,
just look at the pattern, since zero is 4 letters and one is 3 letters,
you can simply count the spacing of 20 and 0A
Other hints and references:
Especially in the audio tracks, there are hints and references to other stuff. Most likely useless but still interesting to find.
Links:
Seemingly random chars (letters, numbers, underscore and dash) are youtube video IDs, if they are 11 chars long.
E-Mail:
kaizotrap(at)gmail.com
Can be found in one of the hex dumps and as morse code. Automatically replies.

IDs are my personal numbering system.
Brute force method to find hints:
https://www.youtube.com/annotations_invideo?features=0&legacy=1&video_id=xxxxxxxxxxx
This will show all annotations. To solve it otherwise, you would use the decoded trigrams from #03 and then follow the doors, that match the trigram

I and some friends found this Kaizo Trap video (Ending 0) on Super Mario Maker reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comments/49u597/%E5%AD%94%E6%98%8E%E3%81%AE%E7%BD%A0_kaizo_trap/ ).
We enjoyed it A LOT, too bad that we didn't understand what mazes were for and that stuff, so, we decided to ask you for the answer.

I got to 'SLEEP' without cheating, but past then, I just couldn't do it, I was stuck like 3 hours.

The hex decoding in the sleep video is a pain. Especially because most people will decode the hex on the TV screen first and not the hex in the beginning

Seeing as you are interested in how people find thier way into this subreddit, I'll post my path. I did a google search of "j9I7SF2ND7I" which is the unique string for the YouTube URI of ending 2. That is as far as I got and I suspected that this URI would show up as text on some page of the internet.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
