05. 📸 The Fame Monster 📸

Being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Take it from Gwen, or better known as the Fame Monster. After running away from another mob of paparazzi, Gwen tried to run away from it all, sick of the constant attention and camera flashes. She ended up stumbling into an arcade complex, but that didn’t matter to her; she was out of the spotlight for once. Fortunately for her, Gwen still retains her pop star talent and gothic flare for the tournament. Will she top the charts once again in Mash N’ Up?

[LR2M1 VS P2] Face Your Fears, 'Till You Say Run.

Welcome to the ritual — where rhythm seduces and spirit surrenders.
“Temptation Ritual” is the latest hypnotic release from Enaque & Nujord, featured on their concept album “Temple in the Dunes.” Fusing deep tribal percussion, Afro Latin grooves, and cinematic textures, this track invites you into a sound ceremony that blurs the line between dance and devotion.

 With every beat, Temptation Ritual draws you closer — a magnetic pull into ancestral memory, sacred movement, and raw emotional tension. It's a slow-burning groove designed for sunset sets, underground rituals, and spiritual awakenings.
