Six Fan Arts Entry 2


Author's Note: This is a sequel to my first #SixFanArts Challenge comic.

Characters in this #SixFanArts Challenge Entry: Gold Fall Guy (Fall Guys), Tobrac (World of Warcraft, specifically the WowCraft videos by CarbotAnimations), Ugandan Knuckles (Sonic the Hedgehog), Mr Hot Dog (BurgerTime), Mr Game and Watch (Creamed Spinach Color) (Game and Watch), Sukapon (Joy Mech Fight).

If a regular Fall Guy wasn't good enough, how about a Gold Fall Guy wearing a gold crown?

For those wondering who Tobrac is, he is the orc OC in the CarbotAnimations WowCraft YouTube videos. His name comes from the reversed name for Carbot.

Remember Ugandan Knuckles? He is basically Knuckles with accents reminiscent of the Ugandan film "Who Killed Captain Alex?" by Wakaliwood.

As the first and most basic of the three main enemies in BurgerTime, Mr Hot Dog needs no explanation.

In the Super Smash Bros series, one of Mr Game and Watch's recolors is reminiscent of the original Game Boy's screen, which was ridiculed by Sega in a Game Gear advertisement titled "Creamed Spinach Color".

For those wondering who Sukapon is, he is the main protagonist of the forgotten Famicom game Joy Mech Fight. His popularity, however, only began to skyrocket when he appeared as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and long before that, Sukapon was the most requested miscellaneous Nintendo character for inclusion in Super Smash Bros Melee.

BurgerTime 40th Anniversary Tribute


Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the launch of BurgerTime in Japanese arcades. While BurgerTime may not be as fondly remembered as Pac-Man, Space Invaders or Donkey Kong, it's legacy was more than enough to guarantee its main character Peter Pepper cameo appearances in the films Wreck-It Ralph and Pixels. Even when Data East, the original owners of BurgerTime, ceased operations in 2003, G-Mode continued with Data East's legacy by designing new entries for the series.

Happy 40th Anniversary, BurgerTime! Here's to many more years of beefy goodness!

Video Game Television


Credits to Norwegian RuneScape YouTuber Will Miss It for the idea for this comic.

If only there were better television shows based on video games, then only we would stop taking our TV shows for granted, including TV shows based on video games.

Here are some good TV shows based on video games that do not exist but we wished they existed:

Breaking Bubsy
Based on: Breaking Bad

Bubsy struggles to survive in a society that totally dislikes him while everyone makes his life miserable.

Everybody Hates Bubsy
Based on: Everybody Hates Chris

Similar to Breaking Bubsy, but with people who dislike Bubsy out to get him dead.

Kusoge Kombat
Based on: The Mortal Kombat cartoon

Kusoge game characters such as Wynn from Mystery of Atlantis, Gonbe and Tago from Ikki, and Spelunker, fight to the bitter end against each other for their personal survival.

So You Think You Can Fight
Based on: So You Think You Can Dance

Basically a combat-themed version of So You Think You Can Dance. Contestants have to beat up various objects such as a sandbag.

The Kloffice
Based on: The Office

Let's face it. The Kloffice will be the closest thing Klonoa will ever have to having a white-collar job, and Isabelle from Animal Crossing could just be one of his co-workers.

Last Noob Standing
Based on: Last Man Standing

The weakest characters in video game history battle each other to the death. In this case, Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter emerged victorious with Bubsy and a RuneScape Noob laying dead on the floor. Enjoy your moment of victory while you can, Dan Hibiki. You will still be considered very low in the Street Fighter character rankings list.

Whose Ability Is It Anyway
Based on: Whose Line Is It Anyway

Whose Line Is It Anyway features multiple different games performed by the performers. One of the games performed by the performers is Foreign Film Dub. In video games, cutscenes are basically the equivalent of film, which is why Foreign Cutscene Dub is one of the games performed in Whose Ability Is It Anyway.

Lemmings Invasion
Based on: Rabbids Invasion

While Rabbids Invasion revolves around the Rabbids coming to our society, Lemmings Invasion revolves around the Lemmings coming to our society. At least the Lemmings will be better than the Rabbids, assuming the Lemmings do not self-destruct...

Mii Vs Food
Based on: Man Vs Food

A Mii wearing a chef hat arms himself with a kitchen knife to slice his way through various food-based enemies, including Mr Hot Dog, Mr Egg and Mr Pickle from BurgerTime.

The Browser Wars

This show is all about Internet web browsers fighting a long war against each other. The various browsers warring against each other include Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Super Smash Bros Supercade Smackdown
Based on: Saturday Supercade

Remember Saturday Supercade? Well, imagine if Super Smash Bros had a TV series, it would aim to relive the glory days of Saturday Supercade. This is a show we would definitely watch.

Please be mindful that this comic was designed before Microsoft announced the end of support for Internet Explorer.

Long Queue


Characters featured from left to right: Hebereke, Spelunker, Kanna, Ripple, Peter Pepper, Tam, Rit, Gonbe.

Judging by Hebereke's thought bubble, the queue to buy tickets to watch Smash Bros duels would be a long queue because in order for video game characters to buy tickets, the ticket seller would have to identify whether the customer is wearing an appropriate attire before the customer can buy a ticket. This could explain why Mai Shiranui was missing from Super Smash Bros Ultimate's King of Fighters Stadium's cameo characters list, given that her exposed cleavage would displease CERO, the ESRB, and PEGI.

You can see that Rit is buying two tickets, one for her and one for Tam, as they both come from Jaleco's Rod Land.

Being seventh in line in the queue isn't so bad, but when one is being analyzed for anything inappropriate or unacceptable, which none of the characters queuing for tickets have, expect the ticket seller to do a thorough search on the customer to find anything inappropriate or unacceptable, and it will cause delays in what would be an otherwise normal queue for tickets. This method of searching for anything inappropriate or unacceptable ended up barring Mai Shiranui from buying a ticket to watch any Smash Bros duels.

On a side note, congratulations to Byleth on qualifying for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's final Fighters Pass slot, even if reception was as bland as that towards Piranha Plant.
