Episode 45: Game Of The Last Year

FEBRUARY 4th, 2019

~Main Menu from Nicktoons: Attack Of The Toybots starts to play~

The auditorium at the Smash Grounds was filled to the brim with various creatures, as well the creatures's screams of excitement and dark blue lights flying across the large building. Some of the audience were the majority of the Smashers and Assist Trophies, but most were those not involved with the Super Smash Bros. tournaments. A large sign with the words "Game Of The Last Year Awards" slowly crept down yet still hung above the stage.

"Can you imagine if they actually tried to decide the game of the year on the actual year they all came out instead of waiting until the next year?" Malleo asked, Ai Kizuna, both of them sitting in the audience.

"I can, it'd be technically a smarter choice to be saved until next year, but ultimately it wouldn't matter much because they'd have to wait until the end of the year to host these awards anyways!" Kizuna cheered. Master Hand arrived on the stage, and the audience, especially Malleo and Kizuna, cheered even louder as their reaction.

"Hello one and all! Welcome to this year's Game Of The Last Year Awards!" the giant hand happily exclaimed, causing even more screams. Some of the audience members, such as Agent Four and SpongeBob, were so excited that they started flying around like ragdolls in Gmod. "It's clear that all of you here are very excited!"

"Far too excited," Lucario complained backstage, seeing all of the chaos unfolding.

"And I'm sure all of you at home are just as excited!" Master Hand continued, staring at the Channel 216 reporter Chatot and cameraman Electivire.

Meanwhile...

~Main Menu stops~

GengarFan3 had his idiot face nearly right against the TV screen in the middle of some stupid building. His eyes were wide open, but his right eye was twitching.

"Man, I sure must be bored if I'm actually bothering to watch things like these awards," the dumbass crackfic writer said. GengarFan3 then stupidly leaned even closer, his face now touching the TV screen. But instead of actually touching the TV screen, the absolute fucking buffoon fell right into the TV.

~Who's There? from Persona 4 starts to play~

"Oh hey there other me," GengarFan3's voice leaked into the room he was once in. "You mind killing me? I'm super bored."

"You don't want me to kill you just because you're bored out of your brainless ass," a distorted version of GengarFan3's voice cackled within the TV. "You yearn for death because it's a reoccurring joke for you to die in this world!"

"H-how did you know?!" GengarFan3 idiotically asked his "other self".

"Hey, do you two mind, I'm actually trying to watch this," a Gengar sitting on a couch in front of the TV said.

XxXx

~Who's There? stops as Main Menu starts again~

"Just be sure you aren't too close to the TV, younger viewers! Likewise, I must ask that everyone stops acting weird in the audience!" Master Hand exclaimed. "And that includes you, Patrick Star. No watching this very awards show on your portable television while sitting in the audience!"

"Barnacles!" Patrick cursed while putting his portable TV in his pants.

"Thankfully, we don't have any more reality-defying fortresses suddenly appearing to delay the awards any further, so let's get on with the show!" Master Hand continued while Crazy Hand, who was "sliding" in midair despite not moving otherwise, approached his brother. "This year, I'll have some assistance in hosting the show! Say hello to Metal Mario-"

~Main Menu stops again~

"Uh, Master Hand? Neither of them can attend," Crazy pointed out once he got close to his sane brother.

"Wait? Why? Wait, DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO-" Master Hand demanded to know.

"Metal Luigi decided he didn't wanna help at last second and Metal Mario's busy pestering him over it," Crazy answered.

"Oh."

"Don't worry though, I brought replacements!" Crazy zipped backstage, only to return just as quickly with Wario and Waluigi in tow.

"Waa," Waluigi waa'd.

"Shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, thinking they wouldn't show up if they were already gone for so long," Lucario groaned.

"Good grief..." Master Hand thought before speaking out loud to the crowd again. "Well, no more delays! For real this time!"

~And The Question Is from Super Paper Mario starts to play~

"It's time for our first category! Wario, please tell the audience what it is!" the giant hand exclaimed while Crazy rushed back to the backstage.

"Will do! The first category is..." the yellow weirdo muttered, pulling out a card with the category title on it. "Best family game! Waa!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the majority of the excited crowd screeched, with certain crowd members acting like ragdolls again.

~And The Question Is stops as Woe Is Me by Richard Myhill starts~

"My ears! They can't deal with all this waaing!" Lucario cried out as everyone else backstage just wore earmuffs. "They're crying in agony!"

~Woe Is Me stops~

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaa..." multiple voices from Lucario's ears weeped as tears flooded out of them.

"AGH! MY EARS ENJOY THIS PAIN! WHY?! WHY ARCEUS?! WHY?!" the Aura Pokémon screeched. Lucario raced out away from backstage, out of the auditorium, into the Smasher's Palace, and locked himself in his room.

~And The Question Is starts again~

"Let's bring up the nominations!" Master Hand happily shouted once the crowd calmed down. A hologram of the first and second games, Overcooked 2 and Mario Tennis Aces, appeared behind Master Hand, Wario, and Waluigi. Suddenly, the third did as well, and it was...

~And The Question Is stops again~

"Waluigi's Video Game Remastered?" Master Hand uttered, staring at the final hologram.

"Ah-ah-ah, it's called "Waluigi's Video Game Remastered: Conquest For The Five Purple Coins: Actually Released Edition". Get it right," Waluigi replied.

"... I don't remember a single soul ever nominating for that-" the giant hand said before Wario interrupted.

"And now, to decide the winner, the three games... shall fight to the death!"

~Those Who Fight Further (Still More Fighting) from Final Fantasy 7 starts to play~

"WAIT WHAT?!" Master Hand screamed. A small wrestling ring arose out from the stage, with Nintendo Switch cases of all three games already in it.

"YOU MUST DIE!" the Mario Tennis Aces case roared in CD-I Ganon's voice, throwing punches with boxing gloves that weren't connected to it.

"TWO KIDS GONNA DIE TONIGHT!" the Waluigi's Video Game case yelled in Jontron's voice while pulling out a Devil Axe. And then there was the Overcooked 2 case, which just sat there, bouncing up and down.

"Three!" Wario excitedly yelled.

"Two!" Waluigi squealed.

"You have Uno!" Hilda Valentine Goneril screamed at Marianne Von Edmund, with both of the Golden Deer students sitting in the audience.

~Those Who Fight Further (Still More Fighting) stops as Battle! Johto Gym Leader from Pokémon: Heart Gold/ Soul Silver starts~

"Go!" Crazy screeched from backstage in the Super Smash Bros. announcer's voice. Both the Mario Tennis Aces case and the Waluigi's Video Game case lunged for each other. The Waluigi case tried to bring down the Devil Axe onto the tennis case, but the tennis case slid backwards and retaliated with a powerful punch once the axe touched the ring. The punch sent both the Waluigi case and its Devil Axe flying out into the audience. The Waluigi case somehow grabbed its flying axe and noticed Hilda holding the Hero's Relic axe called the Freikugel while Marianne pointed an AK47 at Hilda. The Waluigi case swiped the Freikugel from Hilda's grasp during its flight, bounced off the auditorium wall, and flew right back into the ring, where it used the Freikugel to slice tennis case's boxing gloves to shreds, and then finished the opposing case off with a vertical chop that cleaved the tennis case into two pieces.

"You are dead! Not big surprise!" Heavy Weapons Guy, who sat in the front row, exclaimed while the rest of the audience, as well as Wario and Waluigi, cheered over the tennis case's death. The Waluigi's Video Game case landed right in front of the Overcooked 2 case, which was still bouncing up and down in mindless joy. The Waluigi case lifted the Devil Axe over the top half of itself and brought it down onto the innocent video game.

~Battle! Johto Gym Leader stops with a record scratch~

Yet as soon as the Devil Axe lightly touched the Overcooked 2 game, the Waluigi's Video Game froze. The Waluigi game swiftly grew red before the Devil Axe's side effect of randomly damaging the wielder instead of the wielder's opponent kicked in, resulting in the Waluigi game exploding into a million pieces.

~The Dream Is Over from Fire Emblem: Three Houses starts to play~

"NOOOOOOOO!" Waluigi cried. He fell down face-first onto the stage, gushing out a flood of tears. "WHY?! WHY MUST THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?! WHY MUST I HAVE SO FEW VICTORIES TO MY NAME?!" Wario, holding back tears of his own, patted his upset brother on the back.

"Man, what an edgy fucking baby. Imagine unironically getting this upset over game awards like this," Dark Pit snarled as he sat next to Heavy.

"You are dead! Big surprise!" Heavy stated.

~The Dream Is Over stops as Superquick (A) by Daniel Jean Jeannin starts~

"Well, I suppose the winner of "Best family game" is Overcooked 2!" Master Hand exclaimed. Most of the audience cheered the loudest cheer they've cheered yet. Even Hilda and Marianne forgot all about their conflict to focus on cheering. And of course, some of the audience members started flying around again. Wario, Falco, and Crazy got Waluigi to stop crying and get him back onto his feet before Malleo flew over the gang of idiots and right into backstage.

~Superquick (A) stops~

The holograms of the three games vanished, Falco and Crazy retreated into the backstage, and the crowd barely started to calm down.

"Right! Now, how about we move on to the next category?!" Master Hand exclaimed. The audience instantly got back to being completely chaotic again, with Malleo flying right back into his seat head-first. "Alright! Please settle down and try not to cause any more damage, excited audience members! Waluigi, please reveal the next category!"

"Waa..." Waluigi groaned, holding the card with the category title on it. "Meh... best action game..."

~Rose Town from Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars starts to play~

"Let's see the nominations!" Master Hand cheered. Holograms of the three games, Mega Man 11, Metal Sonic Hugging Simulator Deluxe, and Random Filler Video Game, appeared behind the giant hand and the two dunces.

~Rose Town stops~

"Hey, wait a minute!" Steve called out, catching everyone's attention. "These awards are biased! There are only games released on Nintendo systems on here!"

"You say that as though it's a bad thing," a Shy Guy sitting behind the edgy angel remarked.

"Do you people really not see the problem with such a biased selection of games?" the blocky human asked.

"No," the Shy Guy answered.

"No," Wario repeated.

"Waa, also no," Waluigi remarked.

"No," Falco repeated from backstage.

"Nope," Engineer commented.

"Perhaps," Otis the cow remarked.

"NO!" AOSTH Dr. Robotnik roared as he slammed his face right into Otis's.

"... O... OK..." Steve uttered.

"Well, all the nominations were Nintendo games, so we really didn't have a say," Master Hand pointed out.

"What the fuck even is a Nintendo?" Dark Pit wondered out loud.

"I... good question, Dark Pit. Perhaps we should figure that ou-" Master Hand tried to say before Wario intervened.

"No one cares! We're moving on!"

"Waa, yeah! And this time-" Waluigi said before Master Hand interrupted.

"We're NOT having games battle to the death and we will vote for them as we usually do."

"Bleh, how boring. Waa," Wario groaned.

~Training from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate starts to play~

"Let's go through all twenty members of our committee that will vote for this and the remaining awards!" Master Hand cheered. A large table arose out from the stage, Master Hand pulled out a list of all the other committee members, and seventeen others arrived on stage. "Of course, there's myself, and-"

"WARIO AND WALUIGI WAAAAAA!" the two brothers yelled.

"And me, Crazy Hand! Hiya hiya hiya to ya all!" Crazy squealed while spazzing out a bit.

"Right. As for other committee members, we have..." Master Hand started. "Mr. Video Game himself, Mario!" Most of the crowd erupted with joy as soon as they heard the red plumber's name.

"Boo! Boo! You smell!" Wario growled at Mario, but the excited screams drowned him out. However, a Boo amidst the audience overheard Wario's insult and got sad.

"Waa, not you, you're cool!" Waluigi said to the poor Boo, which instantly cheered the round ghost up.

"Meta Knight!" Master Hand continued. "Lucario!"

"It's a good thing I can't hear anything now," the Aura Pokémon remarked, wearing large ear plugs in his large ears.

"Professor E. Gadd!" the giant hand exclaimed.

"I am mostly here because this will be a very... interesting experiment," E. Gadd stated.

"Falco! Wait, Falco?"

"Yes, I am here," Falco stated.

"I suddenly have a bad feeling about this list Crazy mostly put together... a bad feeling I should've seen coming the instant I entrusted him with that duty," Master Hand thought to himself before continuing. "Zig... zagoon..." A sign reading "There is a sign behind me" arose behind the smiling Tiny Raccoon Pokémon. "Steve- wait, Steve?!"

"Yes. Just because I am a part of this committee does not mean I cannot call out the blatant bias of these awards," Steve pointed out.

"Agh... let's see... a... a Minecraft Villager?!" the giant hand exclaimed.

"Hmm," the Minecraft Villager calmly hummed, staring directly at the audience.

"Anna..." Master Hant muttered.

"I can promise you all that we have not been and will not be bribed into voting for certain games," the redhead merchant claimed.

"Hmm?" the Minecraft Villager hummed, turning towards Anna and holding out a Minecraft emerald for her. Anna's eyes turned into dollar signs, and the Minecraft Villager dropped numerous emeralds for her to pick up.

"Good grief... eh!? SpongeBob SquarePants?!" The crowd had even louder than it had gotten yet the instant Master Hand said SpongeBob's name, and even more audience members started flying around.

"SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!" Painty the pirate's voice boomed as SpongeBob happily waved at the audience.

"Wow, they actually got SpongeBob on this committee! Now I'm really glad I get to remember these awards twice as good now!" Patrick squealed, staring at his portable TV again.

"Malle- OH NO! NO!"

"Yes," Malleo calmly replied to Master Hand's screams.

"Oh why... huh... In... Incineroar?"

"Yes," Incineroar responded as she scratched her back with her diamond hoe.

"And... King Dedede?"

"Yes hello, I am here," Dedede said.

"Bandana Dee?" Meanwhile, the special Waddle Dee popped his head above the table, with sparkles in his eyes.

"Awww!" most of the audience cooed, even as the sparkles in Bandana Dee's eyes started to get so bright that they could blind the crowd.

"MY EYES!" Fred the fish cried out, his eyes literally on fire, despite the water helmet surrounding his entire head.

"Oh thank goodness there's at least a little more actual hel-" Master Hand uttered until he looked at the next person on the list. "And lastly... uh... wait."

~Training stops~

"King K. Rool?" Master Hand questioned, staring down at the other end of the table at the Kremling king.

"Yeah, what about me?" K. Rool asked back.

"Crazy, why did you add him? Sure, he's not the weirdest choice in the world, but he's not your friend or any-"

"Eh, I just felt like adding him, bro," Crazy answered.

"Well, whatever. Committee, let us submit our votes!" the sane hand ordered.

~Math Theme from Baldi's Basics starts to play~

The twenty committee members glanced down at a piece of paper before them. Most wrote their answer down right away, while a few like Falco and SpongeBob had to stop and think. Eventually, Incineroar, the last one to submit her answer, wrote it with her diamond hoe that was dipped in red ink.

~Math Theme stops~

"Alright! All votes have been sent in!" Master Hand exclaimed as the holograms of the three games disappeared. In their place, a larger hologram featuring all three games at the bottom and three zeroes above each game appeared. "Let's see the results!"

~Big Show Theme by Robert Sharples starts fourteen seconds in~

The zero above Mega Man 11 became a six, the zero above Random Filler Video Game became a one, yet Metal Sonic Hugging Simulator Deluxe failed to get a single vote. Suddenly, the hologram expanded to feature Super Mario Bros. 2, with instantly gained thirteen votes.

"WHAT?!" Master Hand screamed with curiosity as the audience roared with joy.

"SUPER MARIO BROS. 2 BABY!" Agent Four squealed, flopping on the floor while constantly changing between his squid form and his humanoid form.

"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" Dr. Eggman roared, racing into the auditorium. "METAL SONIC HUGGING SIMULATOR DELUXE DESERVED THAT AWARD!" Donkey Kong grabbed the egg-shaped scientist and started carrying him out. "I MADE THAT GAME WITH MY BARE HANDS! AND WITH ROBOTS! MOSTLY WITH ROBOTS!"

"How did a game that wasn't even nominated win?!" Master Hand wondered. Him, Mario, Meta Knight, Lucario, E. Gadd, Shadow, and Steve all stared at the Minecraft Villager as he showered everyone else in the committee in Minecraft emeralds.

"It may severely hurt my pride, having voted for a game starring one of my eternal enemies, but it was worth it!" Wario cheered as emeralds slowly started to cover him.

~Big Show Theme stops~

"Why? Why why why?!" Master Hand groaned in agony.

"It's OK bro, I'll vote for the games you want to win for the rest of the awards," Crazy replied, giving his brother a few pats as the crowd started to settle down.

"Well... I might actually need you to vote for a certain game for the final awards..." the sane hand muttered. "Either way, I need a quick break, and I think we're overdo for one anyways. Wario, Waluigi, you entertain the audience while I... I regain my will to continue these awards..."

"Waa, whatever," Wario said. Master Hand, and everyone else besides Wario, Waluigi, Falco, and Crazy left the stage, either returning to the audience or heading backstage. The entire audience stared at the four remaining on stage while a cricket sitting between Ridley and Chibi Naoto, as well as in front of Annette Fantine Dominic and behind Otis kept making typical cricket noises.

"You'd better change your tune or else," the Space Pirate leader demanded from the cricket. The insect instantly shut up, and Ridley smiled.

~Lifelight (English Ver.) from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate starts to play~

"Colors weave into a spire of flame! Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed!" the cricket suddenly sang as his legs somehow created the sounds of all of the instruments in the song. Ridley, Annette, and Otis stared at the singing cricket, surprised and slightly horrified at its incredible prowess, while Chibi Naoto just did her iconic dance.

~Lifelight (English Ver.) stops~

"Uh... waa... ah..." Waluigi stuttered.

"Waa, you nervous br-" Wario whispered.

"Waa-CHOO!" the lanky weirdo sneezed.

"Oh," Wario merely replied with.

"Hey! While Master Hand's gone, how about we watch some commercials!" Crazy suggested to the audience. Most of the audience erupted with numerous boos at the idea.

"NO!" AOSTH Dr. Robotnik roared again.

"Too bad because that's all we can do," the insane hand replied. The hologram from before faded away, and in its place, a large TV arose from underneath the stage. All the dark blue lights in the auditorium died down, Wario, Waluigi, Falco, and Crazy turned around and sat down, with Falco pulling out a bucket of bread, and the oversized TV turned itself on.

~Waluigi Pinball from Super Smash Bros. Brawl starts to play~

"Waa!" the Waluigi in the commercial, who was standing in the middle of Smashtopolis, greeted the audience while holding a burning taco. "Waa-nt tacos that are fresh? Waa-nt tacos that actually taste good? Waa-nt tacos that won't make you rush into the bathroom seconds after you eat them, and ruin whatever little time you have left in your life due to your mistake of entering restaurant bathrooms, especially taco-theme restaurants?"

"NO!" Dr. Robotnik shouted yet again.

"No one asked you, people who said no!" the commercial Waluigi shot back. "Either way, come on down to Waluigi's Taco Stand!" The Waluigi in the commercial suddenly appeared in front of his purple stand with a worn-out sign above it. "We're currently giving away free items to go with every purchase, including Waluigi TVs, Waluigi game consoles, copies of Waluigi's Video Game Remastered: Conquest For The Five Purple Coins: Actually Released Edition, cows, more tacos, tacos within tacos, Waluigi puppets, a reason to live, a list of random things, the most hip of Waluigi fashion, and much much more! On top of all of that, we'll even show a sneak peak of Waluigi's next video game, called "Waluigi's Second Video Game: The Epic Hunt For The Six Purple Torches" to the first twenty visitors who aren't our archenemies, starting on February 5th, 2019!"

"Come on down to Waluigi's Taco Stand!" the Wario and Anna of the commercial sang as they arrived on the screen.

"THERE ARE I AM GARY THERE I AM!" SpongeBob squealed to his pet snail sitting next to him, pointing a the SpongeBob that appeared in the corner of the commercial for a second.

"Come on down for tacos your stomach can actually stand!" the commercial Waluigi finished.

~Waluigi Pinball stops~

"Waa, we hope you enjoyed my- I mean, our glorious ad!" Waluigi said to the audience as the lights came back on and the TV sunk back into the stage. The audience remained quiet and stared at those still on stage, who stared back. All four idiots started to sweat as the silence was drawn out.

"We didn't come here for stupid ads! We came here for the game of last year!" a Kritter in the crowd yelled.

~Area 6: Olive Ocean from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror starts to play~

Most of the crowd joined in on the complaining, rapidly getting louder and louder.

"Yeah! I didn't spend my money gifted to me by my fans just for stupid ads!" Isabelle whined.

"None of us needed to sit through such a mediocre ad," Ganondorf added.

"PIRANHA PLANT!" Piranha Plant growled, causing Petey Piranha, who sat next to her, to groan. Eventually, a Goomba, a Kritter, a Waddle Doo, and an Octotrooper flew out from the audience and all over the auditorium just like other audience members did prior, but soon rammed their faces into Wario, Waluigi, Falco, and Crazy's faces.

~Area 6: Olive Ocean stops~

"Wait! Please stop with the outrage!" Master Hand cried out, rushing back on stage. "After all, we have a new Super Smash Bros. fighter to announce here!" The crowd instantly stopped complaining in favor of cheering and the four flying freaks flew back to their seats. "Good! Now just give me a few seconds to go get the footage!" Master Hand raced back towards backstage before a variety of sounds, including crashes, bonks, and even Gaster Blaster noises, came from backstage at a rapid pace.

"Wow, I can't believe that you're deciding to reveal the new fighter this early!" Crazy said to his brother while the large TV rose back up.

"Shh!" Master Hand ordered as he put a CD into a machine.

"And did you make the trailer just now in a matter of seconds?"

"Crazy! Be quiet!"

"And is the new fighter gonna be-"

"Crazy! Please! Zip it!"

"OK!" Crazy flew into a Crazy Hand-sized SpongeBob backpack that appeared on stage and zipped the backpack shut, sealing himself inside.

"Ahem! Now then, let's see the new fighter!" Master Hand happily exclaimed, earning the loudest roar of excitement yet from the audience. "But please, everyone, shut up!" The crowd quickly silenced itself, the dark blue lights turned off again, and the TV was turned on once more.

~Main Theme from Super Smash Bros. Brawl starts to play~

The very instant a poorly-drawn version of Joker from Persona 5 standing in the same blue and white gradient from Brawl showed up on the TV, the audience roared an excited roar that made their last roar of excitement seem quiet.

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS IS BUT I'M EXCITED BECAUSE MORE SMASH CONTENT!" a Koopa Troopa shrieked.

"I KNOW WHO THAT IS AND I'M EXCITED BECAUSE MORE SMASH CONTENT!" a Bronto Burt sitting next to the Koopa Troopa screamed. A few audience members started flying around again, and this time a Goomba flew out of the auditorium, away from the Smash Grounds, and all the way to Weegee's Island, where it crash landed right in front of Weegee himself, resulting in a mushroom cloud explosion. Meanwhile, the "footage" was showing the doodled Joker shooting his gun at an equally poorly-drawn Snake. The crowd yelled even louder, causing Lucario's ear plugs to shrivel up into nothingness.

"MY EARS! WHY?!" the poor Aura Pokémon cried out before racing out of the auditorium again. On his way out, he passed by Duck Hunt Dog and the real Snake, the latter blankly looking at the footage before he looked at the gun in his hands

"I don't get to use you because you're a gun, but..." Snake groaned. "He does..." A single yet large tear formed on and fell from Snake's blank face, prompting Duck Hunt Dog to pat his friend on the back.

~Main Theme stops as Casino Paradise Zone, Act 1 from Sonic Advance starts~

The video ended with the doodle Joker stabbing a doodle King K. Rool in the back. Even as the lights came back on, the audience was still screaming screams of joy while the real K. Rool glared at Master Hand.

"I did it. I finally added another character who will finally have their hype last for more than a few sec-" Master Hand thought to himself.

~Casino Paradise Zone, Act 1 stops~

"Alright, the newcomer's old news now," Diddy Kong said right as the crowd stopped cheering

"Yeah! Now show us the game of last year already, damn it!" Dark Pit cursed.

~Area 6: Olive Ocean starts again~

The audience started getting agitated again, scaring Master Hand while the other four on stage were left unfazed by the growing anger.

"Uh, well, if you all want the Game Of The Last Year award right now, I suppose we can do it right now, eheh," Master Hand nervously uttered. The audience calmed back down, but that didn't soothe Master Hand's worries. The auditorium TV sunk back down into the stage, the committee table shot back up, and most of the committee raced back up onto the stage in the blink of an eye. Even Lucario returned seconds later, wearing a large pair of fireproof ear muffs over his ears this time. "Ha, now then, let's see the games that will battle it out for the title as Game Of The Last Year!"

"Waa, I'll get them ready to fight each other!" Waluigi excitedly said.

"No, we're not having them fight again. But, uh, you might want to get them ready for combat regardless," Master Hand whispered to the lanky weirdo.

"Wait, what?" Waluigi wondered. A large hologram like the one for the best action game hologram appeared, with zeroes above the three games again. This time, the three games were How To Make A Video Game: The Video Game, SpongeBob Emblem: The Search For Whoever Even Made This Game, and, of course, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

"Even more bias. I can't believe you would put the game based off of your own tournament up for-" Steve tried to say, only for Master Hand to intervene.

"Steve, please. Don't say anything. Just vote for that game, please."

"I cannot vote for it. Not with your bias," the blocky human calmly responded.

"Huh..." Master Hand sighed before speaking to the audience.

~Area 6: Olive Ocean stops as Boss Prelude from Kirby's Return To Dream Land starts~

"W-well, let the voting begin!" All twenty committee members went right to work, with half of them finishing right away.

"Hmm?" the Minecraft Villager hummed again, trying to bribe Anna with his emeralds... again. Master Hand flew over and snagged the Minecraft emeralds out of the Villager's hands. Both the giant hand and the Minecraft human stared at each other while the others finished voting. Eventually, the last one to vote ended up being Malleo, who just sat there the whole time, staring into the crowd. Suddenly, he started writing his answer at an absurd speed. The speed of his writing was so fast that, once he was finished, his pencil burned into a pile of ash in the blink of an eye.

~Boss Prelude stops as Dark Clouds (Approaching Boss) from Kirby: Triple Deluxe starts~

"All of the votes are in..." Master Hand said with lots of worry. A decent amount of the audience tensed up with anticipation, ready for whatever the winner of the award was. The twenty committee members turned around to face the large hologram. Soon enough, the zero above Super Smash Bros. Ultimate turned to a nine. Master Hand started to sweat like crazy. The already tensed up audience members leaned forward, scaring the other audience members. Even Lucario got a little worried as he sensed the tensed up auras within the crowd behind him. Master Hand's sweat started to flood the first row of seats a bit after they dripped down from the stage. Heavy Weapons Guy lifted his feet out of the rising sweat pool and shook off what sweat had gotten on him.

"Get it over with already!" Fred the fish demanded. After a few seconds, the zeroes above the other two games flashed into something else before returning to zeroes.

~Dark Clouds (Approaching Boss) stops~

But then the zeroes changed for real. The zero above SpongeBob Emblem became an eight and the zero above How To Make A Video Game: The Video Game became a three.

~Award Winners (A) by Otto Sieben starts to play~

"Oh thank the stars!" Master Hand sighed with sweet relief as the crowd cheered their loudest cheer yet.

"Can you people please quiet down, you've already broken the world record of loudest simultaneous cheer," Crazy asked the audience while nearly everyone in the building covered their ears.

~Award Winners (A) stops~

"OH DEAR. IT APPEARS THAT I'VE MISCALCULATED THE RESULTS," R.O.B. said, holding all of the votes. The crowd instantly stopped their nightmarish cheer, and Master Hand instantly grew worried again. "DO NOT WORRY, I HAVE FIGURED EVERYTHING OUT, AND THE RESULTS WILL BE DISPLAYED PROPERLY NOW.

And that's when the numbers above SpongeBob Emblem and How To Make A Video Game: The Video Game changed.

How To Make A Video Game's tally changed from three to one.

SpongeBob Emblem's tally changed from eight to ten.

The tension within the audience rose to an all-time high.

Master Hand started sweating even more than his last sweating session.

Lucario got so nervous from the tensed auras in the audience that he froze in place.

"Oh no," was all Master Hand could mutter.

"OH MY GOSH! MY GAME WON!" SpongeBob cheered.

"Waa! Nice job, SpongeBob!" Wario congratulated his yellow friend. The Wario Bros., Waluigi, Falco, Crazy, Anna, and Zigzagoon surrounded the living sponge and gave him an oversized hug.

"Everyone. Please. Ready yourselves," Master Hand ordered.

"I'm ready!" SpongeBob squeaked. "But, uh, for what exactly?"

"ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?! SUPER SMASH BROS. FUCKING ULTIMATE LOST TO A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MEME GAME?!" Dark Pit roared.

~Doomsday Zone from Sonic The Hedgehog 3 starts to play~

"That," Master Hand said, slowly turning around. While a decent amount of the audience members were still acting normal, many others, mostly those that weren't a part of the Smash Bros. tournament, were clearly enraged.

"A FUCKING GOD DAMN SHITTING MEME GAME SHOULD NOT HAVE FUCKING LOST TO FUCKING ULTIMATE OF ALL THINGS!" the edgy angel roared before stomping on the floor, leaving a dent in it. "NOW LOOK WHAT YOU USELESS FUCKERS DID! YOU MADE ME RUIN THE FLOOR!"

"Waa, what an edgy crybaby. Imagine actually getting this upset over game awards like this," Waluigi scoffed.

"ATTACK!" Dark Pit commanded. The edgy angel, as well as Piranha Plant and Ness led a charge, with the other angry audience members following after them. Most of the committee members, Mario, Meta Knight, and Shadow bravely rushed ahead to deal with the angry crowd, and most of the Smashers and Assist Trophy characters in the audience tried to hold back the angry mob.

Fifteen Minutes Of Comedic And Chaotic Violence Later...

~Doomsday Zone stops as Eterna City (Daytime) from Pokémon: Diamond/ Pearl starts~

Most of the auditorium was in ruins. Most of the angry audience members were being dragged away by members of the Smashtopolis police force while Dark Pit, Piranha Plant, and Ness were being taken away by Mario, Meta Knight, and Shadow. The majority of the Smashers and Assist Trophies, as well as some of the still capable committee members such as Anna and Steve, and even Metal Mario and Metal Luigi were fixing up the damages the mad crowd left. And then there were Wario, Waluigi, and Master Hand, all beaten up and lying on the stage, with Crazy and Dr. Mario trying to heal them.

"If... if I ever have to do award ceremonies again, and a Smash Bros. game is one of the nominations... I'll do them in that "real" world," Master Hand groaned while Wario swatted Dr. Mario away. "At least people there won't overreact so badly if the game loses. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even react poorly to a Smash game losing in the first place."

"Waa... yeah..." Waluigi whimpered. The trio just laid there, letting Crazy try to bring them back to health.

"I know one thing, me and Waluigi sure aren't bothering to host awards like these ever again," Wario responded.
