Round 1 - Group A
Event 1: Getting Rich Quick
This event is as old as cash. Namely, it's where our contestants will try and gain as much moolah as possible in a week. Whoever comes out of this the richest wins!
Napoleon the Pig may not have opposable thumbs, and is going to face the huge handicap of not being human. But, he's coming into this with a proven track record of success, as well as a top notch skillset of manipulation, propaganda, and doublespeak, as well as having already managed to amass a fair amount of wealth after a hostile takeover of a farm. But it won't be as easy as he'd like it to be, as his opposition is one of the best self-promoters in modern wrestling, The Rock. The Rock is a noted performer in an already theatrical sports league. So he too is a proven money maker. The only question is, which of these two will prove better at picking up capital.
Event 2: Nonsense Contest
The notion of a nonsense contest is to be able to participate in a conversation all the while continuing the conversation in non-sequetirs, random asides, and straight up proclaimations of the sort that would make Cthulu squeal with glee at their burbling insanity. Things that aren't allowed? Responces that makes sense in or out of context. Repeating yourself. And, of course, stalling out and taking too long to reply. This match is all about a limber and quick mind.
And while we may not have top notch minds for this, we do have two top line thinkers. First up we have Selina Kyle, also known as the notorious Catwoman. Criminals are already pretty good at having snakey lines of thought, but she hangs out with the denizens of Gotham's underworld, a group that is notoriously unstable. Gadget comes into this with the downside of being a fairly un mad scientist. But, she does hang out with those minor avatars of confusion Chip and Dale, which should give her a handle on how to deal with this competition.
Event 3: Dealing with the Devil
Perhaps it's because they have a great need, that only infernal power can help them achieve. Maybe they just have a lust for power that has to be slaked at any cost. Or, perhaps the Devil's just hanging out and offering that bit of temptation you just can't say no to. No matter how it happened, the result is the same. Now you have to deal with the Devil, and your immortal soul is on the line. The name of this game is, whoever can get out of this snare with their soul still in their possession, wins. If both of our contestants succeed (or, perhaps more realistically, if they both fail) then whoever manages to come out of it with the most perks, benefits, and other sorts of gain will be the winner.
And this match, this is going to be a fine match indeed. Our first contender is no stranger to the dark side of the street, seeing as he's a vampire straight from the Hellmouth. That's right, Spike comes into this with pretty much everything he needs to excell except, perhaps, a soul. Of course, perhaps that's why he's making the deal. Opposing him is the nefarious mastermind Dr. Wily, who seems to be looking for a new edge in his never ending battle against Mega Man. Can he get his eight shiny new robot masters and still keep his soul?
Event 4: Burning Heretics
What's the deal with Heretics. Why they gotta be backing unorthadox and just plain wrong views? That said, they do have their uses. I mean, nothing brings a community together quite like tossing a few heretics on the bonfires. And our winner will be the one who's best able to round up, and then toss on the heretics in question.
While Ichabod Crane may be a humble school teacher, he does have a huge advantage in having been born and raised in a culture that's all about burning heathens at the stake. Granted, most of the ones he'd know about would be of the witch variety, it's still something that's accepted by his peers. Of course, just because he may be ok with it, doesn't mean he'll be any good at it. Anna, of Fire Emblem fame, has the skills. After all, she seems to know how to be everywhere, and she's got combat skills when she chooses to join the fight. The next question is, how easily will she burn unbelievers?
Pair Event 1: Three Legged Race
While most racing events focus on singular excellence, the Three Legged Race is less about how good any single member of the team is, and a lot more about how well the two runners can work together.
This leaves our first team in a bit of a pickle, as we have Kamek, loyal employee of the princess kidnapping Bowser working with Princess Zelda. And even if they can work together, there's the slight issue of how well can Kamek run when he's probably used to floating everywhere. What is certain is that if they want to have any hope of victory they'll have to work together because they're up against the team of Knight of the Grail, Sir Lancelotte the Brave, and Cecilia Lynn Adelbert. Of course, given that this Lancelotte is from Monty Python's Holy Grail, perhaps he might be hung up on his princess partner and how to treat her properly. Regardless, this is going to be an interest race...
Pair Event 2: Kart Racing, Double Dash Style
Four racers, Two carts, One Winner. It's time to go go kart racing Double Dash style. As always, teammates can swap positions quickly and easily to ensure the best driver, or best items, are always raring to go.
Our first team comes into this with an odd advantage. Matt Engarde is a modern day movie star, who'll have some idea of how to drive from his Hollywood lifestyle. Watching his back will be Inspector Javert, who may not know how to handle a horseless carriage, but who probably will have a good idea how to draw a bead on the opposition, and level a good offense at them. Of course, they're going at this as a pair of mortals daring to face off against a pair of divine beings. Queen Zeal may not have started divine, but after kinda sorta merging with Lavos, she might as well be. Having lived from ancient times to the future, she's undoubtedly seen a lot of stuff, and that experience will serve her well here. Working alongside her will be the Goddess Palutena who's certain to know her way in hectic situations, though her driving skills are unknown. After all, she hasn't gotten her invite to the kart circuit yet.
