BONUS CHARACTER REPRESENTED: EAEA!

We've heard it once, we've heard it again... this experimental archive has reincarnated itself, but don't be deceived! This despicable amalgamation of corrupted minds and body may bear the same form as its former self, but its all new tricks and horrifying reception hyping it up has left an entirely new nightmare for everyone to scatter away from, lest they be caught in its warpath. What secrets does this despicable spawn have left to show off, and more importantly, is there anything we can do to stop them?! *

* EA:EA is not a contestant - despite being an overall nuisance to everyone, it won't be able to meddle with the bracket... not while I'm in charge.

01 - LEVEL CLEAR!

timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting... huh. wonder why that sounds familiar?

i think they can pull...
* tom cardy, other comedy artists, australian people, and tiktok trends/those associated with it
* the mario series, anything associated with it, first party nintendo, and all of mario's odd jobs
* chiptune-adjacent genres, videogame fanartists/fancontent, and synthpop
* videogames as a concept, media focused on them, and media that makes you go "so #RETRO!!!"
* existentialism, the passage of time, repetition, and other topics discussed in tom cardy's music
...but what would you pull then?
