Bakugan Arc-V: Let's Go Skate

Bakugan Arc-V: Let's go Skate(also known as Bakugan Arc-V Battle Skaters) is a 2024 skateboard video game developed by Toyota and Konami, and published by THQ Nordic. This video game helps celebrate 15 years of Brawling and 20 years of Dueling from the Bakugan and Yu-Gi-Oh! franchises. It uses its gameplay as the basis for an all-encompassing collection of levels from every original Neversoft game in the series, for use in single-player and online multiplayer gameplay. It adds a good variety of new content, such as cut skaters/new pedestrian skaters including some characters leftover from Tony Hawk's Underground 2, cut songs, cut/unused and new features, a general clean/fix up of the original game, story modes from THUG and THUG2, bug fixes and much much more. The mod completely overhauls the original game with many features and assets, community-requested additions & tweaks.
==Plot==
In the Modern-AU era, Dan Kuso is skating in their neighborhood hometown of Wardington when Tony Hawk and Bam Margera kidnap them and take them to a dark room with pro skaters, Shun Kazami, Marucho Marukura, Runo Misaki, Julie Makimoto, Alice Gehabich, Yuya Sakaki, Zuzu Boyle, Allie, Gong Strong, Sora Perse, Sylvio Sawatari, Aura Sentia, Bob Burnquist, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen, Mike Vallely, Chad Muska, Wee-Man, Paulie "Wheels of Fury" Ryan (a foul-mouthed kid who wears a body cast and drives a high-powered wheelchair) and Eric Sparrow. Tony and Bam explain their plans for their debut "World Destruction Tour", a worldwide, publicity-free skateboarding tour where two teams (Team Hawk and Team Yuya) compete for points; the losing team has to pay for all the expenses. Dan joins Team Yuya—Shun, Marucho, Runo, Julie, Alice, Yuya, Zuzu, Allie, Gong (team captain), Sora, Sylvio, and Aura—against Team Hawk—Tony, Burnquist, Mullen, Vallely, Muska, Bam, Koston, Wee-Man, Ryan, Sparrow, and Phil Margera (team captain and Bam's father).
In Boston, the first leg of the tour, Team Yuya manages to win at the last minute, thanks to one of Paulie's stunts. As a result, Shun is eliminated via having a tennis ball shot at his genitals. Later on, in Barcelona, Team Yuya manages to take the lead again; however, the punishment for Team Hawk is to have the player swap teams (in this case, Burnquist moves from Team Hawk to Team Yuya and the player doing the opposite), much to Hawk's relief and Tony's annoyance. At that time though, word has spread out about the World Destruction Tour, which was supposed to be a low-profile event but now is appearing on TV news because of a video of Tony and Burnquist letting a bull trash Phil's room.
Dan and Sparrow swap back after Berlin. At that moment, an underground film "writer, producer, director" by the name of Nigel Beaverhausen wishes to bring the tour to the public but instead winds up being humiliated by Tony and Yuya. After causing chaos in Bangkok (the skaters were en route to Australia, though Muska suggested stopping in Thailand), the tour lands in Australia. At the end of the leg, Dan is supposed to be eliminated by being stripped down to their underwear and hit by mousetraps launched at them, but due to Mullen spotting a mathematical error in Team Yuya's points, Dan has to compete with Burnquist—the loser will be eliminated from the tour.
The group ponders what to do when a skater kids named Frederick and Tate, arrives and shows them a video of the tour, created by Beaverhausen. Yuya decides that whoever humiliates Beaverhausen will stay on the tour. Burnquist manages to steal his clothes but Dan, with Nigel's clothes, goes off causing a rampage on Australian citizens, framing Beaverhausen; Burnquist is eliminated as a result.
At the end of the New Orleans leg, Nigel reveals that he filmed the whole tour, even before he met Tony and Yuya in Berlin. Nigel proposes that if he is allowed to film the whole tour, he will pay for all the damages of the tour, which Tony and Yuya accept after seeing the long damage bill (which stands at $21,117,551.84). Team Yuya performs a death-defying stunt called the "Equalizer" to tie up with Team Hawk and is successful, but team members Marucho, Alice, Julie, and Aura are arrested by the cops for stealing the helicopter used for the stunt, leaving Dan, Runo, Yuya, Zuzu, Allie, Gong, Sora, and Sylvio for the final leg of the Tour: Skatopia, defined by Tony as "the skateboarding Survivor".
Team Yuya, though reduced to eight members, performs well enough to win. Confident on his victory, Bam decides to blow up Skatopia. In order to save people from the imminent damage, Yuya evacuates the skaters. Bam dares Dan, who is still stuck in the back end of Skatopia, to exit the flaming park in a combo, which he considers impossible. Dan takes the dare and secures the World Destruction Tour win for Team Yuya. Nigel wants Bam to give him the tape of the tour, which shows Phil in the toilet, shouting to his wife for more toilet paper. The tour ends with Bam and Tony humiliating Nigel once more, as Bam pulls down his pants on international TV.
During the credits, it is revealed that Tony and Bam have been officially banned from returning to all locations on the tour (even Thailand). Upon hearing the news, they reply, "Hey, good call."
