A True Ship Shape Grand Finals!

A True Ship Shape Grand Finals! (alternately known as "FMOptimist's Final Boss") is a canceled episode of Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Mini-Series.
==Development==
A True Ship Shape Grand Finals started development on July 5, 2022. With a bunch of color screen edits to deal with. MarioMario7829 asked FMOptimist permission in favor for a race against her for a video along with permission for a drawn model of her taunting and permission for a Ship Shape grand finals tournament since she owns the AHiT speedrunning community channel. She accepts the first 2 favors. But not the racing favor. Which is the main part the video. It has been declined due to a vacation she was planning somewhere on July 15, 2022. MarioMario7829 was so disappointed he decided set a deadline date to July 25, 2022 in hopes that she would return from the vacation. On July 20, 2022, FMOptimist return from her vacation. Increasing chances that he will reach out with her. Unfortunately, due to FMOptimist's annoyance, she purposely removed him as a friend and was remain blocked. Making the favor 100% impossible. MarioMario7829 cannot create a run with FMOptimst's dye model from scratch due to a lack of lag warp skills and a lack of lag warp tutorial. He then waits 5 days for FMOptimist to unblock him. But did not happen. Then on the same day, MarioMario7829 brought up with an idea to replace an episode that has been scheduled to be canceled on July 25, 2022 with the episode called "The Red Ball 2 Level 13 IL Record Reclaim". Where MarioMario7829 defeats Xdxboxjaja's Red Ball 2 level 13 record with a record tie of 12.933 after the unhoard video Maximum has made in February 6, 2022. This episode was then scheduled to be uploaded on July 26, 2022 in case FMOptimist is not responding with a race. Unfortunately, on July 25, 2022, deadline has arrived. And MarioMario7829 was praying for FMOptimist to be ready for the race. But because of her removing him as a friend on Discord, there's no way to reach out with her nor would he add her as a friend again. As he was afraid that FMOptimist blocked him. Then on the next day, the episode was canceled and the replacement episode has been uploaded. The development for this episode has been frozen for months. On March 25, 2023 (Exactly 8 months after the deadline), the episode has been uploaded on YouTube. Which lacks off the ending scene due to it lacking out FMOptimist's ship shape run. And since it was uploaded a day after MarioMario7829's Speedrunning Retirement, it will be very unlikely that a final release of an episode will be uploaded.
As of 2024, the full release of an episode has not been uploaded on YouTube still and has yet to be released in public.
==Plot==
The date is June 13, 2021. Doka and FMOptimist are racing against eachother in the Grand Finals in the A Hat In Time: Ship Shape Tournament in hopes that FMOptimist will win the tournament with a 3:0. With a very close call, FMOptimist has won the tournament. Leaving her as a winner and Doka as a runner up. Thog and Rare.EG (the "narrators") has declared a winner to FMOptimist. With her time being a 4:29.47. And with Doka's time being a 4:31.41. Just then, MarioMario7829 arrived in the Spaceship Ex after messing around in Online Party in A Hat In Time. But was late to the tournament and didn't get a chance to watch. He was so sad to hear it. But then brought up with an idea to race against FMOptimist after watching the Red Ball 4 Vol.1 tournament with KoalaBread racing against Maximum as his final boss. Eg and Thog were very worried about it as he was not a good ship shape runner, and that FMOptimist might crush him due to her being a pro runner. As such, Rare.EG and Thog made a little bounty prize for him as if he wins the grand finals race against FMOptimist in a single round, he will receive his $10 on his Steam budget. MarioMario7829 then approves the bet and then runs off to the final boss race.

==Trivia==
*Not counting A Normal SM64 Bloopers Episode, this is the only episode to contain a thumbnail of a character that was created from scratch instead of remodeling an official character art created by certain company. In that case, FMOptimist's taunt pose was created from scratch
*This is the only canceled episode to have a thumbnail; as every other canceled episodes don't
*This episode's timeline takes place on June 13, 2021. But FMOptimist's custom Hat Kid dye model was made on June 2022. Which is one year after the tournament was finished. This means that the hat viewers will get confused about FMOptimist being in her 2022 dye clothing in 2021.
*In the thumbnail and in the tournament scene, FMOptimist is shown to have a shadow puppet form. However, in the episode, she is in her Hat Kid model
*In this episode, Rare.EG and Thog_n appear as they were commentating the grand finals. But the real commentators are actually EpicYoshiMaster and Alabra??
*In the video "How To Create You Own Dye Models In A Hat In Time Without Any Modding Tools", stock footage of this episode was used
*The episode's timeline takes place on June 13, 2021. The same day when FMOptimist and Doka are in the grand finals for A Hat In Time - Ship Shape tournament
*There's currently no ending on who was the winner of the race! In prediction, FMOptimist would've be the winner at the time due to lagwarp strat being used in a race
*A final release of this episode has yet to be uploaded on YouTube
**If this episode is somehow complete, then this would've been the longest SM64 Bloopers: Mini-Series episode to this day.
*The incomplete video can be watched here
==Goofs==
*For some unknown reasons, FMOptimist, Doka, and MarioMario7829 were seen playing A Hat In Time without a controller
*All of Doka's dialogue has a text that is almost completely blue in the text and 100% blue on the outline. Making it very hard to read for the viewers
