## Synopsis

Time for a fighting challenge! It's 5 on 5, Clockwork Soldiers vs. 43 Chars. Will the contestants loved ones provide some decent advice or leave them for dead?

## Plot

The episode begins with Terence contemplating on whether there's a life outside of the game and that he's missing home. Bowser & Wario appear, and the former wonders if Terence is going soft on them, but he admits he's not. Luigi appears and says he misses home as well, with Bowser telling him that he doesn't care about him missing Mario and only wants to win the challenge. Wario reminds him that Luigi is his cousin, "Linguini," with Luigi correcting him and Wario replying "whatever lasagna." In the confessional, Luigi says he thought the joke about his name was over and wonders if he'll next be called Lugia.

Elsewhere, Coney meets with Sonic & Inky revealing that the next challenge is "the arena challenge" where they will have to fight the other team. Mew interrupts, saying that is half right, but there's a twist. Mewtwo adds that friends and family will be able to aid them in the challenge. Mew then assembles everyone (disturbing Citron from his nap) and brings out Spike's cousin from the United Kingdom, Bulby. When the latter mentions a battle strategy, Mew reveals that 5 characters from each team will battle each other as part of the challenge. Bulby then tells Spike to fight with his mouth & butt, showing him how to do so, with Spike proving adept at learning it.

More family & friends are introduced, including Bowser Jr. & Ludwig von Koopa for Bowser & Iggy, respectively (while Bowser is happy to see his son, Ludwig is less than pleased to see his sibling and urges him to get out of the game, and also revealing that Bowser is not their father, as Iggy previously thought). Mario, under the effects of a "jokey mushroom" is brought in next, causing Mewtwo to turn to Mew and say "see, someone agrees with me" before Mario hugs his brother tightly. Newspaper is then introduced for Coney, who also aggressively hugs him, with Newspaper turning down Coney's offer for them to be lovers. Mew mentions that Newspaper was a contestant on Season 2, and was on the spin-off show as well, while Coney claims Newspaper is his best friend (to which he replies indifferently). Next for Marionette is Golden Freddy, who can only say "duh" and offers him no good advice (while Bowser comments how he once auditioned to be his minion, but was annoying). Terence is reunited with Bomb & Chuck, but is unhappy to see them, while Inky & Clyde are reunited with their Ghost Gang pals Pinky & Blinky (whom Inky crashes into). Chef Crackachu is happy no one showed up for him, only to learn, to his horror, that Meowth has come to support him, revealing he personally signed up to torture Crackachu, leading to aggravation from the chef. In a confessional, Crackachu says he wants nothing to do with Meowth since he annoys him. Wario is less than pleased to see Waluigi, while Citron is surprised someone showed up for him, until he learns it's fellow future plant, Laser Bean. Someone showed for Phantom Striker too, Luminous (who is actually from *Skylanders,* not *Shovel Knight)* who recalls the time he defeated PS. Yveltal also gets a visit from Groudon, and wonders why he came, with Groudon saying he was the only Legendary Pokemon to answer the e-mail. Sonic is visited by his old friends Silver & Shadow, while the Hatbox Ghost arrives for the Hitchhiking Ghosts (though both claim to not recognize each other). Marie wonders if anyone came for her, but they didn't and the hosts, against her objections, reveal her cousin Callie was initially supposed to be on the show, but they picked her instead. However, they allow SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star to come back and be with her, annoying her and causing her to leave. Mr. Hat's loved one ends up being his favorite customer, Dreamcatcher, while King Dedede (singing part of the *Kirby: Right Back at Ya!* theme), arrives for both Meta Knight & Chef Kawasaki, upsetting the former, who now has to "deal with an idiot." Dedede also admits he might be joining the game soon as well, with Mew announcing that any Season 1 or 2 contestants can join (upsetting Meowth, as it would ruin his reputation) including Newspaper.

Mewtwo says for those who don't have loved ones "sucks to be you" but Baz says he doesn't need one, cause he's awesome. DJ Octavio concurs, saying everyone back in Octo Valley are idiots ("darn straight" adds Jazz). Pakista admits that Spike & Parara are his loved ones, while Scrooge is scared away by the loan shark (Tom Nook). Mewtwo introduces all the weapons, supplied by Gurdy (which freaks out PS, while Luminous claims she is his "girlfriend"). Monstro then appears, claiming he is a loved one, and Mew reluctantly allows him to stay; after licking Pakista, he chooses Koffing for reasons unknown. Mewtwo announces the five challengers will be picked at random. From somewhere above, Kermit the Frog admires the weapons, while the Haunt tells him to be quiet or they'll "get their a\*\*\*es kicked." Citron then chastises Marionette & Pakista for being chosen as fighters, over the likes of Jazz or Phantom Striker, with Laser Bean saying that is something that be should be said in the confessional, but he simply tells him to shut up and storms off. Mew then announces those with loved ones can spend an hour with them.

When the hour is up, all those who aren't participating have their loved ones taken away, including Spike, Coney, Luigi (while Mario dances and sings "That's Amore"), Scrooge, Mr. Hat, Yveltal, Koffing, Iggy, Bowser, Sonic & Wario. Ludwig hitches a ride on Monstro and wants to know how he keeps coming back to the game, citing that he wants to get Iggy out before his brain cells deteriorate; however, Monstro wanders off to get some crayons. Back with the fighters, Dedede tries to order Meta Knight & Kawasaki around, telling them to lose the game so he can get in. Nearby, Pakista says he hopes he and Parara fight; when the latter asks why, Pakista replies that he's been "kind of a butt" lately, with Parara replying that one of them needed to be serious. In a confessional, Pakista wonders what happened between them, and why they are no longer bros. Meanwhile, Golden Duh is unable to give any useful advice (making Marionette wish he'd gotten Mangle instead) while the Hatbox Ghost & Blinky give out useful advice (though the latter is convinced Clyde is gonna die after he replies "capichearoni" to him). Baz says he needs no advice, since he's awesome, while Marie tries to recruit Rosalina for help, though she immediately rejects her. SpongeBob's advice to her is his bubble blowing advice from the episode "Bubblestand," (which Marie interprets as "don't die"), while Patrick only comments on her beauty. In a confessional, Marie says talking to them is like talking to wood, "but at least wood can make useful things." Clyde comments that he feels like he's going to explode, but wants someone to make him a sandwich, while the Hitchhikers discuss their "triple finish" that Hatbox mentioned.

The fighting begins with Meta Knight vs. Clyde (which the latter calls a "*Smash Brothers* fight"). Blinky urges him to not to mess it up, which Clyde hears as "mess it up." Clyde starts out good with a football throw and some slaps, but tries to remember if he is supposed to use the power of the spaghetti or the Schwartz (a reference to the Mel Brooks *Star Wars* parody, *Spaceballs*) and is easily eliminated. Clyde tries to protest this, only for Meta Knight to further attack him, as Dedede praises him. A groggy Clyde then says he wants a burrito in his football gear, while Inky tends to him. Clyde then remembers that Meta Knight was on his team and wonders why he fought him, so Marionette is swapped to the Clockwork Soldiers to make things fair. In a confessional, Meta Knight wonders why Clyde was on the opposing team and if it was due to his own stupidity or if he planned it for some reason. Black & white security camera footage shows the answer- Ludwig confronted Clyde before the match and tricked him into thinking he was on the wrong team.

Round 2 begins with Parara vs. Rosalina- first she trips him with a banana peel, and he cautions her to be careful when he's nearly squashed by a Thwomp and jumped on by David the Pikmin. During this bout, Haunt & Kermit try to interfere, but are taken out by a flying hammer. Parara attempts to use his trunk, but misses and hits the wall, allowing Rosie to hit him with a giant sucker to win. Meanwhile, Ludwig manages to get Kermit & Haunt away with no one seeing them.

Round 3 is Marionette vs. Marie, leading to Citron, Coney & Yveltal to chant for them to kiss, while PS tells them they "are full of stupid." Marionette is not happy fighting his only friend (and offers to kiss when Clyde suggests it) but Marie notes it's "survival of the fittest" and they are enemies for the challenge, before defeating him by dropping a huge Bullet Bill on him. Mew then declares Marionette the loser (and kicks him after finding out he makes noise when you do).

Round 4 is Pakista vs. Kawasaki, with the former claiming this is "awkward" and Kawasaki confident he can win if he just cooks the walking radish. However, Pakista uses his bag to keep the chef on his toes, then rockets into him with the bag, scoring the win. This gives the Clockwork Soldiers their first win and a Mew Token for Pakista. Phineas of the Hitchhikers laments that, with the challenge over, they'll never learn what the "triple finish" is, (though Hatbox implies that's not necessarily the case) and Dedede brags about potentially joining the game. Baz then wonders if he's up for elimination, but is told he isn't (since he didn't fight). Marie then tells Marionette there are no hard feelings, and Citron insists they kiss, with Marie saying "shut up orange juice" and storming off. The Clockwork Soldiers then celebrate their win

Mew then addresses the 43 Chars and says he'll see them at elimination for the first time ever. In a confessional, Clyde says he "done goofed" but remembers he has a Mew Token and leaves to find it (in was in "the silly sock drawer"). The various members meet and discuss elimination, most saying they are going to vote for Clyde. One group of "oddballs," consisting of Crackachu, Koffing & Iggy meet, but Iggy claims "being an oddball sucks" and leaves to take a nap; however, Mr. Hat bounces in and asks to be part of the group, to which Crackachu agrees. In the confessional, Wario, Spike, Luigi & Crackachu all say they are voting out Clyde.

It's elimination time once again, and Mew says they all seem pretty confident as to who is leaving (Baz admits even he knows and "that says a lot"). Clyde claims he knows too, and it won't be him; Mr. Hat then says they all voted for him, resulting in Clyde playing his Mew Token (and Luigi calling Mr. Hat an idiot for revealing that). Since Clyde is immune, there is only one other person to be eliminated, since he has one vote, however Mew has to deal with Clyde (and Wario) farting & burping before he can reveal it as Kawasaki. Clyde admits he voted for Kawasaki (as an upset Meta Knight & Dedede look on) and offers to shoot him out the cannon, then signs off the episode. Bowser admits that Clyde outsmarted them, with Clyde saying it was more delicious than a Kraft American cheese slice. Terence & Koffing then note he was only saved because of his Mew Token, otherwise "your ass would've been grass" (with Clyde chastising Terence for swearing). Clyde then leaves to go watch his favorite show, Clyde the GhostMon.

## Trivia

* During one scene, there is a blank space and a voiceover announcing a "Dedede confessional" so apparently there was meant to be one but it did not appear for one reason or another.
