It seemed like a stomp at first, but slowly but surely, the two converged. Who won?

Character [P1] - Basil

Wandering through a dark door, a pleasant gardener has arrived at the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y.! Basil, the timid boy with quite the green thumb, has gotten himself horrifically lost, but the museum is sure to be a safe place for him. Sourcewise, he has several things to pull from. Plants and flowers, of course, are where his expertise truly lies! And just like a white egret orchid says, with his wide variety of mind-related sources, his thoughts will follow you into your dreams. But there seems to be something constantly worrying Basil, and it's something that allows him to pull from much more fear-inducing media... However, it's probably nothing to worry about! The smile on his face lets everyone know that everything is going to be okay.

Character [P4] - Mario "Jumpman" Mario

It's-a-him, Mario! This portly plumber of world renown has caught wind of another world of paintings and, with a mistaken invite, has come to the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y. for a chance to become the Superstar! If he can make it through with just his legacy, his athletic prowess, and a few powerups at his beck and call, then perhaps a true victory won't end up being found in another museum...

All good things must come to an end, and as we enter the final third of the pre-bracket, before the quick story we must stress: Every vote matters. Every contestant is still in the running for the last invitation, no matter how bad the odds may seem. Choose wisely, because between today and tomorrow, you will decide which of these four viable contenders will join Exhibition Gallery. Thank you for your votes, and may the odds be in your favor.

After the last two matches, Basil and Mario seemed to actually get along rather well- perhaps it was the relief that there were no space-warping beings, peculiar girls from mysterious, potentially unexplainable lands, or giant purple monsters running around. Is this calmer match a sign that their luck might be improving for the better, or is it just a happier finale than the last two bouts? Only time will tell...
