## Team

**Maroon** is a contestant and the former host of The Color Games.

## About

Originally, Maroon was the host of TCG in The Color Games 1 and The Color Games 2. Black later took the role as host, and began hosting in Season 1. Season 1 was also when Maroon became a contestant. In his chapters, he is frequently subjected to jokes, pain or humiliation, and running gags that persist throughout the series, for example, his hatred of Squidward. He also is shown to not have any actual friends in the series, however sometimes he is with Yellow, Orange, and Lime.

## Personality

Maroon is often impatient, for example in TCG 1 when he is tired of each color introducing themselves and he states their names instead. He is also often careless, especially in Season 1, for example in "The Colorful Mining Games", where he blows himself up after touching dynamite. Maroon can also be careless. In the same chapter, Maroon attempts to steal the gems from Lime and Orange, who are working together, but end up getting caught and thrown into a bottomless pit.

In Season 2, Maroon had less of a personality because he appeared and spoke less often. His carelessness would ultimately get him eliminated in "When Wombats Attack".

Maroon is frequently the butt of jokes and often is abused. For example, in "Reel 'Em In!", Black punishes Maroon for saying his challenge was not fair by giving him half the bait, resulting in him nearly getting eliminated. In "Another Day, Another Games", Maroon is used as airplane fuel by Black and ends up getting burned to death.

## Maroon as a host (TCG 1 - 2)

In TCG 1, Maroon states his name as **Maroon McRoon**. He sets up most of what TCG is today, such as the Septillion Dollars being the prize. His hosting style in TCG 1 is similar to Black's, as he often does not care for the contestants and refers to them as dumb.

In TCG 2, in the cooking challenge, Maroon blows up after Yellow gives Maroon a piece of poop to rate. Later in the chapter, Purple, Pink, and Fake Magenta arrest Maroon after they complain about Maroon's challenges being unfair. Maroon gets arrested, however he randomly reappears and forces the girls to go away.

## Maroon as a contestant (TCG S1 - TCG S2)

Maroon's mentions he likes churros in "Meet the Colors".

In "Dodgeball Brawl", Maroon is part of Team 2. After he is the last color still in, he is handed the peanut butter bomb ball. Wanting to be a hero, he throws the ball however it misses Red, who is on Team 1. The ball rolls back to Maroon, who attempts to hit Red again. However, the ball explodes, releasing peanut butter on Maroon and the entire gym. Because the peanut butter did not splatter on Red, Team 1 wins. In the elimination in the next chapter, Maroon is in the Bottom 2 along with Purple. Maroon is revealed to receive 2 votes and Purple receives 3, and he is safe.

Maroon would go far in Season 1. His run ended in "The Colorful Mining Games", where he attempts to steal Orange and Lime's gems. Even though Maroon was able to snatch the bags, however they are revealed to be decoys, and a stick of dynamite explodes in Maroon's face. Orange picks up Maroon, who is light, and throws him into a bottomless pit. The pit is revealed to have no bottom, because Maroon was never revived from the Auto Healer.

In "Three Votes and You're Out!", Crimson intentionally, blows up the Colorland Mine, and Maroon is killed. This allows him to be revived from the Auto Healer and vote for the challenge.

In Season 2, Maroon appeared less than the first season, mostly because his personality was not developed much in the first season unlike Red or Blue. He is chosen to be on The Brownies. He gets eliminated in "When Wombats Attack", when he fails to catch the wombat when Gray throws it to him. Red declares it a Certified Epic Fail as Maroon is later voted out by his team.

## Maroon's Running Gags

Maroon is a notable character because he has several running gags relating to him in the series.

### Maroon Hates Squidward

Several times in the series, Maroon encounters Squidward and screams in anger when he sees him.

* Maroon Hates Squidward: In "The Worst Artists Ever?", Squidward gives Maroon a 0/10. When Squidward returns as a judge in "TCG's Got... Talent?" he screams out "f\*ck\* in rage.
* In "Lights, Camera, Reaction", Maroon asks Black to not have Squidward as judge again. Black, of course, calls Squidward and asks him to be the judge. However, Squidward is unable to call and Maroon cheers.
* Maroon and Squidward's most recent meetup is in "It's Rejoin Time!", when Squidward is the judge for the dumpster diving challenge. Maroon, however, misses the entire dumpster and dies on impact.

### Maroon Epic Fail

Maroon also repeatedly Epic Fails in the series.

* In "The Colorful Mining Games", Maroon plays with a stick of dynamite, which explodes in his face. Red calls it a Certified Epic Fail, and a picture of stupid Maroon with "Epic Fail" next to it is shown.
* This returns in "When Wombats Attack", when Red intercepts the throw to Maroon. Red cheers by calling it a Certified Epic Fail a second time.
* In "Septillion Dollar Showdown: Part 2", when Maroon goes to check if Black is alive, he finds out Black was alive all along and was behind him. Black declares this Maroon's 3rd epic fail.
* In the same chapter, Maroon agrees with Black in one scene. Black laughs at Maroon and states that nobody is ever supposed to agree with him. Maroon gets his 4th epic fail.
* In the following scene, Maroon imitates a clown to show Black's stupidity, however he ends up getting laughed at and earns his 5th epic fail.
* In "Who Wants to Be a Septillionaire", Maroon says "hey", which causes Black to laugh at him, call him a horse, and give him his 6th epic fail in the series.

## Trivia

* Maroon has an obsession with the number 5, a reference to Maroon 5.
* Because Maroon looks very similar to Crimson, he does not appear next to Crimson in any scenes to avoid confusion.
