THE MOLE (SSB VERSION)
Rules (quotes below are said throughout the game):
Mole (noun): A spy, a double agent who establishes cover long before beginning espionage.
60 players are about to travel on a journey of a lifetime. Each new location will bring new tests for our players. Each passed test will add money to a group pot that only one player could win and could grow to 5 million coins.
One of them, however, is a Mole. A double agent, working for us, to sabotage the group's efforts by preventing them from passing the tests. No-one knows who the Mole is, so no-one knows who they can trust.
Not all of them will complete the journey as every few days there is a quiz about the Mole, questions like...what gender are they? How old is the Mole? Even: what did the Mole have for breakfast?
The contestant who scores the lowest on the quiz is "executed" and must leave the game immediately. It is a simple game: be observant, expose the Mole, claim the money. Each player has a strategy but only one will win: the one who correctly answers the question: who is the Mole...?

"Hello?"
"Hello! Sorry if I caught you at a bad time."
"No, you didn't. Sorry but…who is this?"
"My name is Master Hand. I'm calling because I would like your assistance in something."
"Go on."
"You're in Smash Brothers, right? The tourney-fighting thing run by my brother?"
"Of course."
"Good! You see, I'm hosting a Smash version of the hit game show The Mole and, well, to be blunt, I would like you to be the titular Mole."
"Isn't a Mole an animal though?"
"This is the noun kind. A Mole is a secret agent or a spy. You'll be working for the producers."
"Sorry, but I'm not good at being sneaky..."
"It's not hard, honest. All you have to do is subtly sabotage the challenges I put before the contestants. Sound reasonable? You automatically get a million if you say yes."
"A…A million…!? Yes! I'll do it! I'll be your little secret agent."
"Meet me in six months' time at Yoshi Island Airport. This type of thing takes AGES to set up, don't you know. Anyway, see you then."
The phone went dead. A smirk crossed the Mole's face.
"This should be fun…"

There we go! The contestants are ready, the Mole has been…um…tempted into it and the rules are set. Who will be the first Mole victim? WHO IS THE MOLE!? OK, I'll stop spamming questions. See you soon!
