Easily one of the worst seasons ever. Never would I have thought this season would rag on even longer than season 5. Granted, I remember being excited after season 5, but people can only take a season so long before they eventually are done. We've had plenty of time...
And it's very underwhelming, too. I'll explain more once Redd and Ali go ahead to try the minigames. But I have my fingers crossed for SS1. Very excited to finally play.
There's gonna be another chapter after this one that will show Fall Guys lore, as well as Sweet Thieves. But for now, enjoy the limited amount of new rounds that my OCs participate in!
The background has turned into another dark purple. However, it seemed to be slightly lighter than how the purple looked in the season 4 days. Redd and Aaliyah soon spawn in, looking around.
"Interesting how I had to make an Epic Games account in order to hop on here again." Redd said out loud.
"It was the same for me.." Aaliyah replied.
"I guess that's what JReddSSBU mentioned when he said this game was bought by Epic Games." Redd muttered, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh, speaking of which... where is he...?" Aaliyah questioned. She and her Inkling friend begin to look around as much as they can. Yet, they couldn't find any sort of hint where I am.
About three monitors appeared around them. The one on the left displays a bunch of Fall Guys in a blue pipe, as if they were being transported. The middle was the beans balancing on a circular balance beam. And the right shows a small UFO beaming down a bright yellow light, and the jelly beans seem like they were chasing it.
What caught the cephalopods' attention was a pedestal with a piece of paper hovering over it.
"What is this?" Redd asked. He takes the initiative and walks over to the pedestal, grabbing the paper and reading its contents out loud.
Hey, hey, hey!
Redd and Aaliyah, if you're reading this, welcome to Season 6! Also known as... the WORST season ever to hit this game.
Yes, you did have to make an Epic Games account and connect it to the game. It's required in order to play. But anyways, let me briefly explain why this season won't be enjoyable for you two.
There are only five new minigames total. There is no extra rounds for their mid-season update and no variations of existing rounds, either. There is cross-progression now, but that's the only good thing about it.
If you're wondering why I'm not here, this season is dragging on longer than Season 5 and it's making me mad. There is no communication from the development team. Nothing but silence and memes. So I'm not there to greet you as I normally do.
You guys can play the new rounds if you'd like. Call me if you need anything else.
Yours truly,
-JReddSSBU
"Oh... only five rounds.." Aaliyah sighed.
"Don't worry, Ali, surely the pessimistic glance won't be too harsh," Redd assured, "I think the minigames should be fun to play, at least. Why don't we hop into a match together and find out?"
"Okay." Aaliyah simply said. She and Redd turn into their aquatic forms and super jump. They begin falling down gracefully as they begin to que into the next match.
Race minigame 1: Full Tilt
Run and balance across rows of 360 see-saws to reach the finish line!
The background has a purple starry night sky, glistened in light and neon colors in both the sky and the obstacles. There were giant balloons, some of stars, a crescent moon, basic hot air ballons with a red or blue striped pattern, one of a cyan Fall Guy, and another of a chicken.
This course is the dreaded sequel to See-Saw. There were big circular see-saws a fresh coat of paint of three colors covering one third of the circle: pink, yellow, and cyan. There was a cone on each seesaw that was cyan with a white striped pattern.
Everyone started on a giant platform, huddled up together. Each person begin their stretches and jumping jacks to warm up.
"I still struggle on See-saw from time to time, so I don't know how well this is gonna turn out for us." Redd reminded.
"Hopefully we can balance well..." Aaliyah said.
3... 2... 1... GO!
And everyone is off! As soon as people were jumping on the first circular see saw, it began to tilt around. So people were huddling in different positions of the see saw to prevent if from going off too far.
They were jumping from one see saw to another. Redd and Aaliyah were also having no problem traversing through the first set, hopping on the first safety platform with ease. Even the last one had a spinning beam to force others to jump, but that didn't stop any of the contestants.
The Inkling and Octoling notice half the contestants were on the right side and going a different way, so they stayed focused on their side so they can reach the finish in time.
Redd and Aaliyah hop on the next seesaw, while some beans were jumping on a small gold trampoline with a crown icon, jumping high into the air and landing far onto the next seesaw. When Ali hopped on first, the circular see saw was already having trouble keeping most of the contestants on board.
However, she and Redd stick together and help balance it out, even if more beans hopped on it to give them a boost. Once the see saw was perfectly balanced, Ali and Redd hop to the next safe platform.
This fast walk lasted a few seconds as the two cephalopods jump onto the next see saw, which was much larger and had donut pillars circling around the center of the cone, evenly spread out.
Thos that were ahead were already unbalancing the see saws and prevent more contestants from going any farther. This forced Redd and Aaliyah to wait a little bit before making a big jump once it was in a good position.
Some beans were even cutting ahead by jumping onto the fence of the platform and bouncing on the trampoline as a head start.
"Man, these beans know their shortcuts!" Redd commented. He sticks by Ali's side as they traverse through more see saws. Some had gates that close up and prevent others from going to another side.
Redd and Ali fall victim to that, and since many jelly beans soon joined in, the seesaw tilts too far and everyone yells as they fall.
They respawn back to the closest platform and shake themselves off before going back to where they once were.
Ali manages to jump to the next see saw easily, but Redd was cut off by the gate closing in and the see saw Ali was on tilting upwards, making it harder to reach.
"Keep going! Don't wait for me!" Redd shouted. Aaliyah nods once and runs along, opting to qualify quickly.
Still quite a ways to go, Ali was running along a Y-shaped platform, with two ways to go. The innocent Octoling figured she was close to the left, so she heads to the left see saw. She jumped to the middle one up ahead as soon as jelly beans got to jump onto the first one.
This giant middle see saw had a bunch of dark blue donut pillars circling around at a slightly quick speed. When she reaches the edge, she waits a moment then makes a quick dive to one of the see saws on the right.
She had to wait a few seconds on the next set of see saws thanks to both the donut pillars and more jelly beans hopping on to alter the duration of another's run, or their own.
However, Aaliyah was patient enough to hop across see saws and hop onto the platforms that lead to the finish line. Aaliyah took a glance to notice just like in the prequal, there were two finish lines. One was on the left when Aaliyah got a closer look.
"I... I did it...!" Aaliyah said in awe. With one last fast walk, she heads over to the finish line and...
QUALIFIED!
Back with Redd, he was on the middle see saw as well, circling around it to try and match the speed of the donut pillars, although not even close to being as fast as them.
"Lots of people are far ahead. Hopefully Ali qualified." Redd thought. He quickly shook his thoughts away and focuses on his jumping, also opting to head to the right path.
He had to wait again as the see saws were taking their time altering to different directions. But as soon as Redd had an opening to jump to the next one...
ELIMINATED!
The final contestants reach the finish, while Redd still lagged behind. Back at the results square, Redd looks over at his Octoling friend.
"Did you qualify?" The former asked. The latter nods in response.
"Nice! You got this, Ali. Do your best!" Redd complimented, showing a thumbs up.
"I'll do my best.." Aaliyah replied, watching Redd get pushed off of the square and into spectating mode.
Race minigame 2: Party Promenade
Navigate the obstacles and race to the finish line!
Passing by a giant cone at the very start, it looks like obstacles are higher or further down, all leading up to a big leap of faith at the end. No one could tell how to get so far, but it seemd like it was gonna be a good course to try.
"Ooh, this one looks fun. I like this one already." Redd chuckled.
"Mm hmm. Looks colorful.." Aaliyah noted.
"All of the courses usually are." Redd teased.
3... 2... 1... GO!
Everyone is already off. They sprint along a large, wide platform, where there were two pink pipes, each with large eyes and teeth above them, similar to the creepy doors in Door Dash.
Upon entering one of the two pipes, they were riding inside it as each bean was popped out above and into the sky. Redd and Aaliyah scream for a moment upon being so high up in the air.
They were all above the cone, filled with a thin layer of slime to slow them down small oranges with big googly eyes and a smile, fit with a party hat on their head. After a few seconds, they would expand larger similar to the frogs before shrinking back down as time went on. The process repeats as per usual.
The walls covered the cone, and inside it were two yellow pipes and one green one. Being in the air couldn't help anyone traverse where they want to go, so they had to live with dropping onto whatever was close.
Aaliyah and Redd fall into the green pipe, which sucks them in and shoots them straight down onto another small slime trail. There were some bouncy objects that helped slow them down and get up, which they each took advantage of.
At the end of the slime trail, there was a small notice of a regular platform with two circular see saws up ahead. Redd and Aaliyah stuck together on the right see saw, easily reach a middle see saw up ahead and onto a large vertical platform.
"Gosh, that was wild. And the course just begun!" Redd exclaimed, only earning a nod from Aaliyah. Two donut pillars on each edge kept the course together as the two Inkopolis residents stick by each other, with many jelly beans running alongside them.
There was a cannon to the left that was slowly shooting water balloons. Every water balloon that hits a Fall Guy made them ragdoll for a moment. Redd and Aaliyah weren't stopped by a simple water balloon cannon.
But up ahead with two yellow walls and a few pink bouncy squares was another water balloon cannon, but was shooting them out way faster and all around at a perfect angle.
THe sheer speed of these water balloons did mange to trip up two the cephalopods a couple times.
"There's so many water balloons..." Aaliyah groaned. Finally, after a few more seconds of the water balloon chase, she and Redd finally reach a safe spot to not get hit by any more water balloons.
They stood on a transparent red platform kept together by two donut pillars and a big bouncy triangle. There was a slime wall that Redd and Ali hit, but it give them a boost as the drop down it and end up on the next section of the course.
More bouncy platforms stop incoming contestants from drifting any further than they are right now, and as soon as they got up, the journey to reach the finish continues.
There were two more cannons shooting water ballons at different angles to surround two blue pipes.
"Oh no, not again!" Redd cried. Once again, he and Aaliyah were struggling to surpass these incoming water balloons. Even some beans beside them struggle to even keep up, ragdolling at every possible opportunity.
Finally, more time passes by as Redd and Aaliyah hop into the right pipe, with the wind carrying them through it and shooting them onto a large platform high above the entire course.
The two look around in awe, with two sides with a slime trail and a couple gates that flip around and block the path. Some beans climb onto a higher middle platform, leading to conveyors. One in the middle speed them into a wall, and two beside it boost them back to the platform.
"We should climb the middle." Redd suggested. He walks over to it and hops slightly, grabbing the edge and boosting himself up. Aaliyah soon follows behind, and she notices a trapeze swinging by.
She and Redd grab onto the trapeze, along with a couple other beans, and let go as soon as it swings to the other side.
On this side, there two two conveyors on each side leaning upwards for a major boost. They were above a rainbow border with two big eyes, as was connected by two yellow pipes used as a walkway.
"M-Make a run for it!" Ali stammered. She once again sticks by Redd as they each run along the right conveyor. With a big jump, a trapeze comes by and they grab onto it. A couple beans fell down trying to join them, but instead fall onto circular see saws that get through it instead.
There was an upside down cone that the two jump onto, and it leads them into a yellow pipe. They spin around for several seconds due to the pipe being much longer, and were shot out of it when another trapeze comes in.
However, since they were unprepared, they miss the trapeze and fall onto a large square with slime to slow them down each step. There were more larger flipping gates, and one bouncy triangle.
Despite the slime slowing them down, they reach the end of this slimy spree and find three pipes down below. Two were green, and the one in the middle was yellow. Some beans above use the trapeze from earlier to boost themselves to one of the three pipes.
Redd takes one of the green ones while Ali takes the yellow one. They ride along it for almost a second before they were shot out to the finish line.
QUALIFIED!
"I was right, that one is a lot of fun!" Redd cheered.
"So many obstacles and paths... I can see why.." Aaliyah responded.
Race minigame 3: Pipe Dream
Navigate the pipes to reach the finish line!
Unlike in Party Promenade, the pipes are the main focus for this course. Yet there are still many other obstacles that await the remaining contestants' path.
"Hm... a lot of pipes..." Aaliyah pointed out.
"We're gonna get dizzy during this one." Redd chimed in.
3... 2... 1... GO!
Everyone begins running along as soon as the countdown was over. On the ground, there were two rows of five punching gloves that aim up, evenly spread out and raising up at different time intervals.
While Aaliyah was barely evading them, Redd takes advantage of it and uses them to boost himself upwards. He, along with other beans, would ragdoll as they hit the ground, but they all got up quickly and continued their venture.
There were two blue pipe and Redd and Ali instantly take the left one due to that one being the closest from where they're at. After a few seconds of getting sucked in and riding along it, they get shot upwards onto a large pink platform.
In front of them were four large fans that would lower one by one before raising back up in that same time interval. On the left side was another platform with a few bumpy ramps, a couple donut pillars on top of each ramp, and two cannons slowly shooting out water balloons.
"Eh, I'd say we got the safe side." Redd said with a shrug. He and Aaliyah notice there were five pink floor traps, which some beans fell for and were shot backwards as a result.
The two cephalopods manage to jump over the traps, then sprint along to a safe spot in between the fans. There were two more pipes at the end, but they were pink. The beans at the other side were met with green pipes instead.
Redd and Ali hop into the right one yet again, ending up in a spot on the far right, where there were a couple crown trampolines, and walls that has short swinging hammers. The far left had a similar layout, but the middle had two rows of those orange expanding balloons they have to get through.
The two hop onto one of the trampolines and were launched high into the air. They landed on the next row, ignoring the hammers completely. This time, there were three trampolines, but the odd number was easier for Redd and Ali to take different ones and end up in the same destination.
They bounced through the hammers, landing on another row with two trampolines again. After another quick jump, they pass the last wall and find two more pink pipes.
"Let's go left this time." Redd requested.
"Okay." Aaliyah responded with. She and Redd hop through the left tube and ride along it, in which it takes a little while until they were launched into the sky and on a large yellow platform.
There were two circular rows of donut pillars that swing around in opposite ways. There was also a spinning beam in the middle, forcing some beans to jump as they attempt to get through this wildness. On the right side, there were a couple small seesaws that automatically tilt the opposite direction after a few seconds, being used to hop onto a wall covered by a conveyor.
The donut pillars were no match for Redd and Mia, as they were jumping over the beam while finding the perfect opening through the circle of pillars. There was a lone yellow tube up ahead, in which they immediately climb through, followed by a few more jelly beans.
This yellow pipe meets up with another one that beans from the other side also join with. Redd and Ali land on the ground a few inches away from the tube they were just riding through.
Up ahead were four circular see saws. Two on each side, with a vertical see saw in the middle. From the looks of it, it was unaffected by the contestants and would only tilt an opposite direction after a few seconds.
However, since Redd and Aaliyah were already caught up with more beans, the first set of see saws proved to be a challenge with everyone tilting it one direction. Redd managed to get to the vertical platform up ahead, but Ali ended up falling, letting out a yelp as she did so.
"Oh no, Ali!" Redd cried. Knowing that she's depending on him, he ran over to the next set of circular see saws and hopped onto the next platform.
There were two long yellow pipes. One on each side, used as a walkway to the entrance of it. Its exit would launch jelly beans to the finish line. The callenge was the water balloon cannons to stop them from taking those tubes.
What ended up intriguing Redd was in the middle. A large ramp going upwards with a trapeze swinging along. The red Inkling gasped when he saw some beans crossing the finish line by launching themselves from the trapeze.
"I gotta qualify, and fast!" He exclaimed. Sprinting along, he reaches the edge of the ramp, with two jelly beans on each side of him. WHen the trapeze got close, the three grab onto it and swing along.
They each take one last leap of faith when the trapeze reaches the other side, and just like that...
QUALIFIED!
Each of those three qualified with one smooth swing.
Back with Aaliyah, she just managed to pass by the circular see saw rows with no trouble after the last time. She noticed the different paths she could take and places a finger on her chin.
"Hm... I should go over there and have the tube boost me.." The pink haired Octoling muttered to herself. She sprints along the right side, and begins walking along the yellow pipe.
However, the water balloons caught her off guard and ended up pushing her off. She yells from the impact again as she plummets to the deep depths of the Blunderdome before she respawns back to where she once was.
The innocent Octoling wanted to try again, still having a chance to qualify. But as she ran along the pipe again...
ELIMINATED!
The last few contestants crossed the finish line, leaving Ali and the remaining beans behind.
"Mm, I should've taken the ramp up..." She sighed.
"Don't worry, Ali. Practice with this course should help us out." Redd assured, causing Aaliyah to show a small smile. This lasts for a few seconds before the latter was pushed off the square so she can watch the remaining matches.
Hunt minigame 1: Airtime
Stay in the score zone to score points! Use the pipes to get back to the score zone if you fall!
There were two starting points, which no one can see the other side from that point. There was a golden crown-icon trampoline on their right, and the entrancing part was the large, yellow starry rectangle.
Inside this quadrilateral was many different obstacles to stay on it. There was a trapeze to be used to launch to the center, a tent poking out of the rectangle surrounded by four spinning platforms to be used as the floor.
There were two trapezes on each side swinging by a vertical platform to occasionally flip completely. Each side had a conveyor with a row of donut pillars to cover a side and swing by. There were two large trampolines, two giant fans, and more trampolines to bounce again.
Aaliyah's eyes sparkled as she looked at the rectangle sparkling along.
"Someone's interested, huh?" Redd giggled.
3... 2... 1... GO!
As the timer is done, everyone goes different directions. A couple hop on the trampoline to the right and begin to bounce along. Meanwhile, most of the others just dropped down and stay on the platform, earning points as they stayed inside the zone.
"Hm, this seems easy." Redd muttered. The trapezes swing by as both himself and Aaliyah were slowly gaining points. A few other beans were doing so by just staying in that one spot.
The platform they were on blinks its light for a moment as it slightly began to tilt.
"Quick, to the right trapeze!" Redd warned. He and Ali ran along the platform to grab onto the trapeze, but the tilt occurs faster, and since they were unprepared, they fell down below.
Rather than falling to their inevitable doom, they were in a large arena with six pikes in the middle. There were also some boost panels to shoot anyone back upwards, but some beans struggled to stay in the zone for more than a second.
"Aw, darn." Redd grunted. Regardless of the unfortunate fall, he plays it safe and dives down into one of the tubes, leading straight downwards to nowhere. Aaliyah follows along in a different pipe, and gets the same result.
She and Redd spawn back up at the starting platform they were once on. The small platform was completely vertical. It stayed like that for a couple seconds before going back horizontally, allowing anyone to step on it.
Redd and Ali do so, and start getting points little by little again.
"So, how much do we need again...?" Aaliyah asked.
"We just need one hundred percent." Redd replied. The platform began to blink its light and tilt the same direction from the last occurance.
"Not this time! Trapeze!" Redd exclaimed. He sticks by his Octoling friend as they jumped up by the edge of the platform to grab onto the trapeze. They do so, and the platform goes vertical once again. Beans that failed to get the trapeze fell out of the zone.
When the platform goes back to its normal horizontal position, Redd and Ali hop back onto it when the trapeze hovers over it.
"That wasn't too bad." Aaliyah said.
"Not at all! We're breezing by this pretty quickly." Redd chuckled. He relaxes as Ali takes a deep breath to maintain herself. The platform begins to tilt to the left this time, so that's the que for the two to take the left trapeze this time.
They successfully hold onto the moving bar, joined by a couple beans. They hung onto the trapeze for a few more seconds and...
QUALIFIED!
Redd and Aaliyah succesfully qualify for this round, with a couple more jelly beans earning the status shortly after.
"The concept for this course is very clever. I like it." Redd complimented.
"Very beautiful and creative." Aaliyah chirped.
Hunt minigame 2: Leading Light
Stay in the moving spotlight to earn points!
The remaining contestants were in a large circular arena. The blue ground mixes in with a yellow conveyor moving clockwise around the course, each section included with one fan. There were four buttons at each section used to control some gates to appear or not.
There were three large elevated platforms: blue, orange, and pink. They each have two launch panels and a spinning disk at the end. In the middle of the course was a fan, surrounded by a circle of a slime trail and three gates at each section.
Everyone's attention came to the UFO hovering over the fan. They all stood by each other in an angled line.
"Hm, I wonder how this one is gonna go." Redd hummed, which Aaliyah just shrugs her shoulders.
3... 2... 1... GO!
Everyone takes off at different directions, some using the vertical see saws by each elevated platform to boost themselves to the UFO. However, as soon as everyone got close, the spaceship began to move away while it was beaming a yellow light.
Redd and Ali pushed by many jelly beans as they all fought moving along to gain as many points as they can from the UFO. However, the giver of the yellow light was clever and make some pretty sneaky turns to catch others off guard.
The UFO began hovering over one of the platforms, and some beans waited until even the edge of the beam was gone before the looked around for a way to join back. Aaliyah tried to use the platform as soon as it swung her direction.
Redd soon joined in and hopped on the platform, joining with other beans to fight for the light. It was crowded, and moving around didn't help at the slightest. There was aramp that some beans used to get to the platform, but they wasted much more time trying to join back up anyway.
A couple beans already qualified. Ali and Redd used the fan to get away from the beans once the UFO flies through the middle, although with a sacrifice of not getting any points during then.
"Urk-!"
They both grunt as their fall was not what they intended to happen, ragdolling as a result. They stay on the ground for a second before they rushed over to join back up and gain the light.
"Just a few more points...!" Redd growled. More and more beans were qualifying by the minute by gaining the maximum number of points needed. The numbers were low, but neither he nor Ali were quick to give up!
The UFO begins flying around another elevated platform. Using the see saw once again, they hopped onto the platform and began to take in the light beaming down on them.
ELIMINATED!
Despite how close they were, it wasn't enough in the end. The last two beans earned their qualification, leaving the others behind to elimination.
"What?! Dang, we were so close!" Redd shouted.
"Yeah... I think we got it next time, though." Aaliyah said confidentally.
"That's what I like to hear." Redd chuckled, winking one eye through his trademark smile. He and Ali were pushed off the results square, ready to que up for another match.
A/N: And that's all for Season 6. Sweet Thieves is up next. I dunno if that will feel a bit rushed compared to some of the minigames here, but I try my best.
Regardless, I am so excited to SS1! Finally getting to play this game after almost two years of waiting! I bet it's gonna be with it for me! :D
Anyways, hang tight guys, as more will come someday. Have a great day, and I'll see ya next time! ;)
