Ryosuke Kawamura and Daiju Okamura run through some nice looking tricks with the recent oversized release from One Drop YoYos. Sweet!
Yoyo used is the One Drop Kraken.
Mark Montgomery – Terrarian
The folks at One Drop released a new promo video for their Terrarian yoyo (a collaboration with Re-Logic, the software company behind the sandbox game Terraria), and this one features yoyo legend and World Champion Mark Montgomery. Good stuff!
We are proud to be in an amazing partnership with independent game studio Re-Logic who develop the open-ended 2D sandbox video game Terraria.
Lead designer and head of Re-Logic, Andrew “Redigit” Spinks, approached us in early 2015 with the idea of implementing our yo-yos into the game and we loved it. Over the next few months we worked with Re-Logic and “uploaded” some of your favorite One Drops into the vast digital landscape of Terraria. You’ll stumble upon models such as the Cascade, Valor, Yelets and much more throughout your journey in the game. As you draw near the end of your adventure, you’ll encounter the Moon Lord, widely known as the “Final Boss”. If you are able to take down this behemoth, you have a chance to receive the ultimate yo-yo in the game, the Terrarian. We decided to “download” the Terrarian and bring it to real life and pull the collaboration full circle.
We worked closely with Andrew and zoned in on his thoughts and ideas for designing the ultimate One Drop. The Terrarian sports a wide wing shaped profile that will never want to miss your string segments or enemies you’ll want to take down in the game! Thanks to a new machining technique, we were able to balance the weight distribution through the wall, boasting a powerful, yet floaty sensation during play. The Projection Profile is featured throughout the entire catch zone, with a subtle bump at the wing transition – it gives your nerve endings a unique feeling after a long critical combo. With Side Effects as the axle system, you have the opportunity to change how the yo-yo feels, plays and look.
YoYo Drop – OneDrop Terrarian
Earlier this year the guys at OneDrop collaborated with Re-Logic to bring OneDrop yoyos to the game Terraria. Now the collaboration has gone full circle with OneDrop “downloading” the Terrarian. OneDrop has a great backstory on how the collaboration came about.

The initial release of colorways are based on different “Biomes” you’ll find yourself exploring during your campaign in Terraria. Get lost in “Crimson” and take down a few Crimeras, or even do a little mining while you’re taking a stroll through “Surface Grass”. You’re truly the one creating the story.
Suit up and game on!
Terrarian is set to release to November 20th, just in time for the holiday season.

One Drop x Terraria
You might remember that Eugene-based One Drop collaborated with popular video game Terraria to include yoyos in a recent update of their game. There were rumors of an actual yoyo based on one of the digital ones created for the update, and it looks like it’s here.
Check out Ryosuke Kawamura putting the new One Drop Terrarian through the works.
One Drop YoYos in Terraria 1.3 Update
Popular video game Terraria just released a new patch, and part of this rollout includes a whole slew of One Drop yoyos! Now the really die-hard yoyo collectors are going to have a full set that’s going to be a little harder to get ahold of!
It’s pretty cool to see a bunch of actual yoyo models represented in a new video game. There are even yoyo gloves, yoyo bags and counterweights added as modifiers to change the performance of the yoyos, which is definitely a step above the YoNoid.
Worst. Advertising. Tie-In. Ever.
According to the official Terraria Wiki, the yoyos are only available in the PC version of the game. No word on if they’ll be rolled out for other platforms as well in future patches, but we’ll see.
