## **Plot**

In the distant past, a god sent Ronya Rainshine to Earth for a very important mission. While she did not wake up immediately, once she did, centuries later. She began looking for powerful warriors across Earth. But she was quickly distracted by the wonders of the world and even sent a Guinea Pig to do the job for her. It took so long that the god had to send Father Derpikorn to make sure everything worked out. Father Derpikorn was going to be sent over regardless, but due to how long Ronya was asleep and due to people doing research on her. This turned out for the better, because Father Derpikorn managed to find the Eternity Crystals that the god wanted it to find. Before, Ronya and Roffo (her Guniea Pig) managed to gather all the warriors. This also allowed Ronya to travel to other worlds in order to gather even more warriors, whatever they were on the list that the god gave them or not. When Ronya appeared in front of a warrior, she introduced herself and told them about the tournament that Father Derpikorn had put together for the god. No other details were given, because even Ronya did not know what was going on. In some worlds, she became worshipped like a deity due to her looking like the sun. They gave her gifts and that sure made her happy. As if she would rather be with them than with the god that she was working for. Though she knew about what would happen to her if she did not follow the orders. So she gathered everyone inside a castle and told them that fighting was prohibited outside of official battles. As for herself, she would be the announcer and answer most of the questions that the warriors had. Meanwhile Father Derpikorn did his job to make sure that everything went according to plan. Some of the warriors questioned this, others were just confused and others just wanted to fight all the time. Though one thing was certain, things were not as they seemed to be.

## **General differences from Super ARC Ultimate Showdown (alpha 22)**

These are the confirmed differences that this game has from the previous game that was made in this style:

1. The story is featured more and is completley detatched from the events of the Super ARC Bros. Brawl-series.
2. Like with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the player picks the rules first, then the stage and then the characters.
3. The game has a fully functional Rollback Netcode from the start. Due to popular demmand from the community.
4. There are less characters, stages, items and other things. But all of these will be more balanced and have the chance to be used to their full potential by casuals and professional players.
5. Franchises that had plenty of playable characters in Super ARC Ultimate Showdown (alpha 22), may not get a single character in this game. Such as "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
6. Assist Trophies, Pokéballs and the Hammer-items are not in this game. While items that are not in that game will be here.
7. Kruel KO's are not present in this game. Even if the stage used to have one in the Super ARC Bros. Brawl-series.
8. Since there are no characters (at the moment) that has any "Special Gimmicks" (Such as Kirby Hats, Smash Gamer-quotes, Josuke Hair Insults and Thanos Snap Survivors/Erased by Thanos). There will be (at the moment) none of these in this game. Even though Thanos did get added as a playable character.
9. Modes such as "Fin Fin's Nest" has not been a thing in the Super ARC Bros. Brawl-series. Which only focused on modes that support the main gameplay of the game itself.
10. The codecs are actually part of the actual game in the form of the codec files that acts like one of three collectables.

## **Stages and Music**

There are a total of 40 stages in **XELAWL Megamixer 23**, with 20 of them being unlockable at launch. Making the total amount of stages in this game, being one less than **Super Smash Bros. Brawl**. There are no "Omega" or "Battlefield-variants" of the stages, but the the player can chose to play on a hazardless version of that stage. All of the stages are able to support up to eight players at once. Even characters that do not have a stage from its home-series, will still be connected to another stage that is close enough. A decent amount of the stages can be unlocked by clearing "Classic Mode" as a specific character (along with unlocking the character that the stage belongs to) or through other means. Such as beating a set amount of battles in versus mode.

The first season of DLC will contain four additional stages.

The second season of DLC will contain four more stages (one that was not initally planned).

The third season of DLC will contain one more stage.

## **Game Modes**

**XELAWL Megamixer 23** will offer plenty of different modes in which the players can duke it out together, either alone or in groups. Most of them are the ones that are familiar to people that have played the Super Smash Bros.-games and fighting games in general. Though there are also a few modes that are unique to this game. There might be a possibility of additional modes being added over time and even post-launch. Though as of now, it has not been confirmed if it will happen or what modes would get added if it were to happen.

GAME MODE PAGE!!

## **Collectables**

Just like in the actual **Super Smash Bros.**-games and the **Super ARC Bros. Brawl**-games. There are three different things that the player can collect while playing the game through various means. These collectable things are: **Posters**, **Codec Files** and **Masterpieces**. If there are more collectables of note, then those will be confirmed later.

COLLECTABLES PAGE!!

## **Non-Playable Characters of High Importance**

These are the characters that are not playable and fightable in any way. They can not be used as items either, such as **Roley** and **Snowy the Snowman**. But are still important to the game itself, for the roles that they have. With most of them having big roles in the story. Though as of now, the roles were unknown. Because the story itself is unknown at the moment with the exception of a few scattered hints and information from various leaks that may not even be true.

## **Content Updates**

This section includes all the additional content that was added as the game was produced (not including possible DLC). All of the updates includes additional posters and Masterpieces. But what is listed here, are the characters, stages and possibly new game modes.

## **General Trivia**

* ARC had plans of making a new "Millennia Hyper Fighting-game". However despite basically being mostly complete (outside of having a full DLC-season), it never came into fruition when he initially wanted it to be. Mostly due to this project overshadowing it.
* ARC made a competition on DeviantArt where people could suggest a name for this project. After looking through the suggestions, the project was named "XELAWL Megamixer 23". With the "23" being reference to the year it was revealed on, 2023. In return, these people were allowed to suggest characters that could be added to this game.
* The "DK Rap" is the first Masterpiece to replace an older one.
	+ "One Thousand Pokémon" is the first Masterpiece to outright get removed from the game.
	+ "Deinocherius Screen Time" and "Dr. Livesey Phonk Walk" were replaced when ARC decided to rearrange the Masterpieces on the 9:th of August 2023.
* On the 21:st of February, the amount of posters surpassed the amount of trophies that existed in **Super Smash Bros. Melee** (290).
	+ On the 24:th of April, the amount of posters surpassed the amount of trophies that existed in **Super Smash Bros. Brawl** (544).
	+ On the 17:th of June, the amount of posters surpassed the amount of trophies that existed in **Super Smash Bros. for Wii U** (743).
* The picture that announced the third and final season is incorrectly stating that more than one stage is coming in the "Notes-section", when there is only one stage coming in that season.
* This game seems to have a lower age-rating than it is supposed to. Though at this point, it may be too late to fix this mistake, since this game is almost done recieving content.
* The 68 Character-milestone (7:th) and the 72 Character-milstone (8:th) were the released in the same month (october 2023). Due to the latter only having four characters, making it the one with the fewest characters ever.
