History[]
Abdallah created his YouTube channel on May 7, 2009. He started by uploading low-quality videos showing gameplay of Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo GameCube.

On Nov 5, 2015, he uploaded the first part of his walkthrough for the first Yo-Kai Watch game. He gained popularity by playing through various Yo-Kai Watch games since then; including Yo-Kai Watch 2, Yo-Kai Watch 3 and Yo-Kai Watch: Blasters.
On August 16, 2017, Abdallah created the AbdallahKids channel. As the name suggests, it is a kid-friendly channel that appeals to kids only.

Abdallah also used this channel to play games that were not included in the main channel. These games were mostly licensed games and some were games of Sonic the Hedgehog. The AbdallahKids channel has been inactive since Nov 23, 2018. Until in June 2022 is the channel active again.
Abdallah won the Super Mario Maker 2 invitational tournament at E3 2019, where he received a trophy from the game's producer, Takashi Tezuka.
