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...

And before the end, it seems the pre-bracket host "Mona Lisa" (If you don't know the context, please check out the Discord where all the lore is) has whipped up one last track for everyone! But who will walk away with the final invitation? We're not too far from the answer now...

In other news, with the 16th contestant about to be decided we would like to hand our Soundcloud audience the following link to help determine the bracket- you will rank every contestant from 1-5 as stated on the sheet. And also importantly, due to early rounds of polling not receiving Neon J. as well, he has received an additional buff- music from games that are hybrid (or otherwise unorthodox) rhythm games! So be sure to consider everything carefully: https://forms.gle/Fd4NRQhEYoJk7wsb7

Subject #05: The Blacksmith
A princess needs saving? Sounds like a job for the knight in purple! The Blacksmith has crashed a spot in The Ruler of Everyone's Mind, and he's staying. You'll have to watch out for multiple weapons when fighting this opponent, including his hammer, sandwiches, and sources from Newgrounds games and Beat Em Up games. Let's just hope we don't run into any catfishes.

- Music From Behemoth Games And Popular Newgrounds/Flash Content (NO OVERLAP)
(Ultimate Battle Of Ultimate Destiny, Battleblock Theater, Homestar Runner, etc)
- Music From Games In The Hack N Slash and Beat Em Up Genre
(River City Games, Streets Of Rage, Bayonetta, etc)
- Music Related To The Medieval Times (Knights, Dragons, Wizards, etc) (EXCLUDING ROYALTY)
(Imagine Dragons, Knights Of The Round Table, Magical Mystery Tour, etc)

Sources:
Castle Crashers - The Show (Behemoth Games/Hack and Slash)

Victory! The Blacksmith

Bo Burnham
They think they know him, but Bo has returned to prove that words, words, words, can win him his chance of redemption! A tough crowd in Another Unnecessary Tournament sent him to the Astral, but his quick wit and bangers from Vine will take him out of it. With fellow comedy artists, piano-based songs, and hands too wide to fit in a Pringles can, there's no need to lower your expectations for him. He'll make the competition want to chug a cup of lighter fluid - ironically, of course.
- Songs by comedy artists or related to comedy
(ex: Bo Burnham, Weird Al, Ninja Sex Party)
- Songs related to or associated with Vine
(ex: Take on Me, A Thousand Miles, Photograph)
- Songs with a heavy emphasis on piano/with only piano
(ex: Drowning, Piano Man, Avril 14th)
- Songs heavily associated with ironic humor [NO OVERLAP]
(ex: Rubber Band, Big Chungus, Tetris Beatbox)

Track Sources:
Chedda Da Connect - Flicka Da Wrist (Vine)
Weird Al Yankovic - White & Nerdy (Comedy Artists)
Bo Burnham - Oh Bo (Comedy Artists)

172 Votes.
58.2% to 41.3%.
Again, another match that started as a stomp in the winners' favor, though longer. It never got closer than 20 votes apart. Not even 20, never closer than 29. The loser tried to catch up, but the winner always remained in the lead.
Thank you for voting, and we wish the loser good luck in losers bracket.
