Welcome to Another Unnecessary Tournament (or AU Tourney); a bracket packed with a multitude of characters inspired by SiivaGunner's King For a Day Tournament, where they will each compete for a surplus of AU tracks based on their sources.

Tournament Outline:
- There will be 16 characters in total.
- Matchups will have Vs. Tracks uploaded alongside the poll for the vote.
- This tournament is Double Elimination.

- Contestants will get tracks before the end of the tournament too, alongside victory themes (ala the King for a Day Tournament)
- The prize is a bunch of AU tracks themed around that character and its sources. This is not limited to the common tracks like Megalos and Bonetrousles, and not all of the victory tracks have to be Undertale stuff; it just kinda makes sense to theme it around such.
- The one thing every contestant will have, however is a lead to accompany them, as to give a taste of what to expect from the character.
- Every contestant will also have unique artwork and a stock icon to accompany them in bracket.

Loud, proud, and absolutely off the rails — the high-pitched star enters the tourney so utterly fueled with the desires of fatherly embrace, he's even manifested himself a stand —「TIME IS NOW」, based on impossible to perceive WWE legend John Cena; a being Fred himself has built the image of his father into. Fred's taken on bullies, vampires, and Camp Superior, who's to say he won't be able to take on new foes too?

Representing Namco Ltd., Namco Museum Curator joins the tournament! She might be an unfamiliar face to most, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't extremely familiar with at least one of her sources. Being a curator and all, she brings with her the main facets of a museum, from the fine arts to the sound that one may expect from the building itself. Not only that, her galleries' also carrying an assortment of music from many beloved Namco games. Can she snag a win for a new display -- or is her outcome only an artifact of misguided dreams?

Representing family and rock; Dad and Rodrick join the tournament for some bonding between father and son -- or at least between A father and A son, to be a little more specific. This rather unorthodox duo, who joined forces through a love of rock music, aim to get their music into the big spotlight -- and maybe earn some Mom Bucks while they're at it! Without further ado, it's time to face the music and feel the Diper heat, because Dad can't be stopped!

It's an alien invasion! The loud, short in temper (and stature) Invader Zim aims to take this tournament for the Irken Empire! He's even recruited a human to help him along the way, an idiotic child named Billy. Sharing the voice work of Richard Horvitz, this unlikely pair brings with them sources of death and aliens, alongside a surplus of music from dark and horror-based children's entertainment. When these two work together, prepare for doom; so long as hubris doesn't get in the way of progress. They've certainly got more than a grim chance at winning at least.

Remy's expert knowledge on the culinary arts grants him a list of music that is absolutely scrumptious, related to foods of all types.

It's similar to what Gusteau always said; Anyone can cook: and claim to victory is what this little chef has in mind.

15. Reigen Arataka (Mob Psycho 100)

He's definitely no fraud in this competition; with him he brings many spiritually stupendous tracks, and of course, music from his home series and various other Shōnen works. And if you take his most expensive offer, he'll put it to good use and pay some big money to various music industries, in return for some money-related sources, of course.

Cock that gun! Tankman wages war on the bracket! Aboard the trusty tank, Sgt. John Captain takes aim for victory. Being the familiar face associated with the Newgrounds website, Tankman embodies all that is flash cartoons and flash games by bringing in those tunes that bring you back to the old days on sites like Tyrone's Unblocked Games -- in the middle of your math class when you definitely didn't have work to do. He's also got a backlog of memorable Newgrounds creators' tunes -- though that certainly isn't all! His arsenal of war and military games also provides him with a cavalcade of tracks from things like war games and dogfighting. With all that aside, with a nasty hard-on and victory in his mind's eye; Ready, Aim, Fire!
