Object Mania

***Object Mania***, briefly known as ***Object Forces***, is a 2016 online animated fictional competition series, also known as "Object Show", created by Ruben Flores. Inspired by the *Battle for Dream Island* series, *Object Mania* follows 14 tightly-knit contestants in a series of challenges. After every episode, a contestants remaining time in the game is at the mercy of the viewers, who vote one player out. The last player left standing will win 1 million dollars.

Originally, the series consisted of 14 contestants, some of which were taken from other object shows such as the aforementioned *Battle for Dream Island* and *Inanimate Insanity*. After the third episode, the creator, Ruben Flores, started hating the direction the show was going in, and quietly cancelled it. Soon, he made a few preview intros that never evolved into a full series. Ruben soon gave up on the show altogether and moved on to new endeavors. During a livestream, a viewer joked about the title of the show being *Object Mania*, and how Ruben should make a sequel called *Object Forces*. This is a reference to the games *Sonic Mania* and *Forces* from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series, which were connected to each other plot-wise. Ruben was actually fond of this idea, and tried to turn Object Forces into a show. It got pretty far into production, with a few previews being released, but it was also cancelled soon in favor of Ruben's new series, *Battle for the Silver*. After *BFTS* was cancelled, Ruben decided to pick *Object Mania* up once more, and the series is now back to airing.

## Summary

The episodes are released in-universe at the same time as real life, meaning that, if an episode takes a year to come out, a year has passed in-universe.

On a starry night, an aspiring reality show host Wii Remote finds a small land populated by 14 objects. He decides that they can compete in his show. The 14 players will compete in a show of intense challenges for the grand prize of $1,000,000. The contestants are split into two teams, and the team that loses has to vote a player off. Later on however, the show's format changes, and the viewers have to vote a player off.

The teams are established in episode 2 by Bubble and Water. The first challenge is won by Bubble's Team (Bubble, Nintendo 64 Controller, Baseball, YouTube, PS4, Cartoon Network and Party Hat) and Water's Team (Water, Purple iPhone, Leafy, Xbox, CD, Sega and 3DS) has to vote somebody off.

In the next episode, the eliminated contestant is Sega because of his rude attitude and complaining.. Water redeems his team by winning the challenge and leaving Bubble's Team on the chopping block. After a hiatus of 4 years, Bubble, Leafy and Baseball are disqualified to go back to the shows they came from. The format also changes to viewer voting, and 10 potential joiners are put up for voting.

After the vote, Jimothy, Paint Ball and Commenter join. Paint Ball and Commenter replace Baseball and Bubble, while Jimothy replaces Leafy. Water's Team loses once again, which puts them at a big numbers disadvantage compared to Bubble's, now Paint Ball's Team.

CD was rude to Jimothy, so he was voted out next episode. Water's Team managed to win for the first time, which meant Paint Ball's Team had to lose a player for the first time.
