•
Lakitu: Last time on Toad-al Drama Odyssey; Fifteen contestants boarded our makeshift plane, the Voyager, but not before a race to decide the teams. Now, it's Day 3, and the passengers will compete in their first Invincibility Challenge. Which two teams will win? Who will be the first to go home? And who will have an existential crisis after seeing the proportions of the New Donkers? Find out on Toad-al! Drama! Odyssey!
*intro plays*
Since the competition has just begun, Wendy creates a revenge plan. She goes up to Wario, Larry, and Bowser to discuss this plan.
Wendy: I was wondering if we could form a pre-mergers alliance, consisting of all the people from last season who were voted out pre-merge, plus the Wah's.
Bowser: That's a stupid idea. While we're still on this team, it only gives us one option for the vote.
Wendy: But it's Birdo. Would you love to see last season's finalists get voted off first?
Larry: That would be pretty cool.
Wendy: So it's official?
Bowser: I guess so.
Wendy: But Wario, we need you to join in order for us to be the majority. Not just of the team, but of the entire cast.
Lakitu: ATTENTION, PASSENGERS! WE ARE NOW LANDING IN NEW DONK CITY FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE!
The passengers meet Lakitu in the Metro Kingdom.
Lakitu: Welcome, passengers, to your first challenge of the season. This will have 3 parts. Part 1: The 30 Jump Rope Challenge. One person from each team will compete. The first person to jump 30 times in a row will win 10 points for their team. Second place will win 5 points for their team. Part 2: The 100 Jump Rope Challenge. This will work the same as part 1, but the first passenger to jump 100 times in a row will win 15 points, and second place will win 8 points. Part 3: The RC Race. The remaining nine passengers will compete in an RC Race. At the end of 3 laps, first place will win 25 points for their team, second will win 10 points, and third will win 5 points. The two teams with the highest total scores will win Invincibility. Who's playing part 1?
After some strategizing, Daisy, Luigi, and Larry volunteer, and the challenge starts. The rope starts moving slowly, but it gets faster at time goes on. Eventually, Luigi and Daisy are the first ones to jump 30 times in a row.
Lakitu: That's ten points for Team Cappy and five points for Team 1-UP. Team Metro is at 0.
Bowser: WHAT THE HELL, LARRY? I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOOD AT THIS!
Larry: Yeah, good. Not great. Can you see why I didn't volunteer for the 100 challenge?
Bowser: I DO NOW! YOU SUCK AT THIS, AND YOU NEVER SHOULD'VE VOLUNTEERED!
Larry: Look, I tried, okay?
Larry (confessional): Can you see how nice and supportive my dad is? I'm so glad I was born into his family.
Lakitu: It's time for part 2, where the jumps will be greater, and the rope will be way faster. Who will play for this round?
Yoshi, Mario, and Birdo compete. The rope starts turning, but it's too fast for most players to keep up. Mario, however, jumps it with ease.
Lakitu: What the- I thought for sure this would be impossible. Oh well. That's 15 points for Team Cappy.
After about a minute, Yoshi is the next one to complete the challenge.
Lakitu: That's 8 more points for Team 1-UP. Let's check the scores, shall we?
Team 1-UP: 13
Team Cappy: 25
Team Metro: 0
Lakitu: Team Cappy is crushing it. Team Metro, not so much. Now, it all comes down to the RC Race. Boshi, Toad, and Peach will play for Team 1-UP. Toadette, Rosalina, and Waluigi will play for Team Cappy. Wario, Wendy, and Bowser will play for Team Metro. 3... 2... 1... GO!
The race begins, and after, like, ten seconds, it ends. Waluigi, Wendy, and Boshi cross the finish line first.
Lakitu: Okay, that wasn't our most thrilling challenge. But anyway, the scores are now: Team 1-UP- 18. Team Cappy- 50. Team Metro- 10. This means that Team Cappy and Team 1-UP are the winners. Team Metro, I'll be seeing you tonight at the Barf Bag Ceremony.
While Team Cappy is enjoying first class, Team Metro is stuck in the back part of the plane that could very well fall apart.
Larry: Wendy, we need to talk.
Wendy: About what? Wario joined us, so our only choice is Birdo.
Larry: But King Dad got dead last. Do you want us to keep losing?
Wendy: Is this about the scolding he gave you after the 30 Jump Rope Challenge?
Larry: Yes- No- Maybe.
Wendy: Get over it. After 13 years, I thought that maybe you'd get used to it.
Larry: You wanna know why I've never liked you? You never seem to care about anybody, especially not me.
Wendy: Because you're the youngest.
Larry: That's your excuse?
Wendy: Are you gonna quit now or later?
Larry: Oh, I ain't quitten'. I will make sure that King Dad goes home, and nobody will disrespect me as long as I'm on this plane. And if you don't care about me, at least worry about the losing streak that could begin.
Wendy: Will you shut up if I vote for him?
Larry: Yes. Now where's Birdo?
*later that night*
Lakitu: Team Metro, welcome to the very first Barf Bag Ceremony. You've all voted for who you want out of the game. The person who doesn't recieve a barf bag full of peanuts will take the Drop of Shame, and be left stranded in the Metro Kingdom forever. The first barf bags go to... Wendy... Wario... and Birdo. Larry, Bowser, you are the bottom two. The final marshmallow of the night goes to... Larry.
Larry takes a sigh of relief and takes his bag. Lakitu then pushes Bowser out of the plane.
Larry: So, uh, when you said he'd be stranded forever, did you mean it?
Lakitu: I'll send out a rescue team after the season if he doesn't find his way back to his castle by then. As for the viewers... In a couple days, you'll watch the passengers compete in the Sand Kingdom. Will Wendy's Pre-Mergers Alliance grow or crumble? What state is the Dream Team in? And will Team 1-UP and Team Cappy get any screentime? Find out on the next episode of Toad-al! Drama! Odyssey!

Total Drama fans, are you glad I didn't make Wendy a joke like Ezekiel?

I've decided to stop doing character profiles, and just get right to the first episode: Around the World in 26 Days
•
Lakitu turns on a camera and starts recording.
Lakitu: Greetings, everyone! I'm Lakitu, coming to you with season 2 of the popular Toad-al Drama series. Last season, twelve Mario characters competed on a bootleg Yoshi's Island to win a million coins. Yoshi won, but gave it up for a rematch for an even bigger prize: TEN million coins. Today, the twelve campers plus three newcomers will board our bootleg Odyssey.
The contestants walk over one-by-one.
Lakitu: Competing this season are: Yoshi, Birdo, Peach, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Toad, Toadette, Larry, Rosalina, Wendy, Wario, Waluigi, and Boshi.
Yoshi: Boshi. The anti-me. So we meet again.
Lakitu: Welcome, passengers, to Toad-al Drama Odyssey! For the net 26 days, you will fly across the world on our makeshift plane, the Voyager.
The passengers look to their lefts to see a rusty, beaten-down plane.
Wendy: Are you sure this is safe?
Lakitu: We took it for a test run yesterday. It ran into a thunderstorm, but we all survived, so it's perfectly safe.
Lakitu takes them for a tour of the Voyager.
Lakitu: This season, there will be three teams competing in challenges. The higher your placement, the higher your flight class. The losers will also have to partake in the Barf Bag ceremony. If you don't receive a barf bag filled with peanuts, you're out, and must take the plunge of shame. Understand?
Waluigi: Will we be given parachutes?
Lakitu: Of course. It lowers ratings, but I don't wanna get charged with toadslaughter. Now as you can see, we are in the Cap Kingdom. In this area are fifteen Power Moons. The first five passengers to find a Power Moon and bring it back to me will form Team 1. The middle five will form Team 2, and the bottom five will form Team 3. Ready... go!
Everyone splits up into groups, except for Boshi, who goes solo.
Yoshi: Of course.
The first group is Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, and Toad.
Mario: If any of us are on a team together, what do you say we form a Dream Team alliance, since we're main characters and all?
Yoshi: I would say yes, but I feel like it's a bad idea to form an alliance in the first minute of the competition. And shouldn't we be looking for Power Moons?
Luigi: Yoshi's right. We'll discuss this after the race.
Mario: Okie dokie.
The group searches the Top Hat Tower and finds the first batch of Power Moons.
Meanwhile, Toadette and Rosalina find themselves in Push-Block Peril.
Rosalina: Do not worry. Follow my lead.
Rosalina makes her way to the end with ease, and Toadette attempts to replicate her movements. While doing so, she finds another Moon tucked away in an L block.
Toadette: We found our Moons. Now let's get out of her.
The next group is Wario and Waluigi, who search a frog pond. After foolishly hopping around a bunch of lily pads, the two find their next Moons, and start running back to Lakitu.
A few minutes later, the Dream Team meets Lakitu at the Voyager.
Lakitu: Yoshi, Toad, Peach, Daisy, since you were the first four from that group to come back, you will complete Team 1.
Yoshi: Isn't there supposed to be a fifth member?
Boshi: What took you so long?
Yoshi (confessional): Boshi and I haven't seen each other in over twenty years, and I've never missed him. This is why. He's always going off on his own treating everyone like he's better than them. Gosh, I can't stand the guy.
Lakitu: Luigi, Mario, you will be the first members of Team 2.
Toadette and Rosalina are the next to come back.
Lakitu: Way to go. You are the next members of Team 2.
Waluigi and Wario come running back.
Lakitu: Waluigi, you are the final member of Team 2. Wario, you are the first member of Team 3.
Toadette: I wonder where the others are?
The final four passengers walk over, tired and confused.
Larry: We had the craziest adventure finding those last Power Moons, and I didn't even see any cameras.
Lakitu: Crap, I knew I was forgetting something. Anyway, Larry, Birdo, Wendy, Bowser, you will finish Team 3. Just for a recap, Team 1 is Boshi, Yoshi, Toad, Daisy, and Peach. Team 2 is Luigi, Mario, Toadette, Rosalina, and Waluigi. Team 3 is Wario, Larry, Birdo, Wendy and Bowser. Now for team names. I'll give you a minute to think of something.
*1 minute later*
Lakitu: Time's up. Toad, does Team 1 have a name?
Toad: Yes. We are Team 1-UP.
Lakitu: Mario, what's your team name?
Mario: We are Team Cappy.
Lakitu: Bowser, how about Team 3?
Bowser: We are Team Metro.
Lakitu: Okay, everyone. Nice work. I would've liked to see an oddball or two, but anyway, the Voyager is now boarding for a flight to New Donk City. Which teams will win the first challenge? Will Yoshi and Boshi settle their rivalry? And how long will it be until Chef Guy crashes the plane I spent a whole six coins on? Find out on the next episode of Toad-al! Drama! Odyssey!

Here is the second character profile, Birdo.

Label? The Pretty Girl.
Faves? (music genre, color, movie, food)
-Piano ballads.
-Purple
-Legally Blonde
-Only the most expensive delicacies
What was your craziest dream? I was the ruler of a kingdom set in the sky.
Best memory from childhood? When I won the school talent show. I sang a cover of Firework, and the judges asked me to leave the stage. It must have meant that I was so good literally nobody could top me.
Sure, keep telling yourself that. Most embarrassing moment at school? Someone this sexy never gets embarrassed. Ever.
Describe the first job you ever had. Do I look like the type to get a job?
Ten years from now, what are you doing? Living my best life in my 5-story mansion.
Describe your dream date. Me and Yoshi at a fancy French restaurant while he surprises me with a proposal and free cake.
The world is ending In five words or less, what do you do? Go out in style.

Here is the first of fifteen character profiles, starting with Yoshi.

What's your personality in one word? Childlike.
Faves? (music, color, movie, food) Anything cheery and/or calming, green, The Lego Movie, berries.
What was your craziest dream? I was in a biker gang that worked for Bowser.
Best memory from childhood? When Mama Luigi and I found Uncle Mario's secret pasta stash. I kinda feel guilty eating all of it, but it was still a fun time.
Most embarrassing moment at school? I once ran into the school bully in the hallway, and spent the rest of the day missing my saddle, a shoe, and my will to live.
Describe the first job you ever had. I've never had a real job before. The closest thing for me was when I was deemed the Official Mushroom Kingdom Baby Deliverer while the stork was on vacation.
Ten years from now, what are you doing? Playing board games with my kids on the front porch of my lakeside cabin.
Describe your dream date. Well, uhm, I don't really have a crush on anyone, and Birdo and I are pretty much over, so... I'm not sure I can answer that.
The world is ending. In five words or less, what do you do? PANIC!

Edit: I've decided to turn the Mario vs. Sonic idea into another season. I don't know if it will be season 3 or a spinoff, but it will feature six previous contestants competing against the six main characters from Sonic Boom (since that's the only bit of Sonic I've exposed myself to so far, outside of some OST's.)
Edit 2: I've decided to give every contestant this season a label. Yoshi's is "The Nice Guy."

Yes, I did name the season after that game. It will also incorporate the World Tour format, but without the singing, for obvious reasons.

As you may or may not know, with the shutdown of Toad-al Drama Roleplay, I can get started sooner with season 2 of the main series, Toad-al Drama Odyssey. And since today is the last day of school for me, I have plenty of time over the summer to write this season, and possibly a third. I have a cast, teams, finalists, pretty much everything. I even slapped together a logo.

The only things I haven't planned yet are the challenges. I also have some ideas for if I ever make a season 3, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on these:
A season of twelve OC's
Six Mario characters vs. six Sonic characters
Fanon vs. Canon

Did you actually legally trademark it? How would you find the time to do all that?

I did watch it, thinking it was just a joke. Boy was I wrong. Also, I didn't know other people had datamined it.

Great. The entire 3rd wave got leaked. Way to get rid of the hype, BL.

For me, I'd say either Boshi Stadium or 8-Bit Speedway. I'd also reccomend Rainbow Skyway, but A, it has sorta-kinda-flashing colors, and B, I took the layout from Arcade GP 2.

Where and how did you find these?

IMO, Chrome Music Lab is quite limited. I've found beepbox.co to be way more useful. (Through the former would probably be better for beginners.)

When I made Mario Kart Arcade GP PC, I stuck to just one topic and announced all the updates on there. It's worked for me, so maybe it would work for you. Just a suggestion.

They normally announce it on the Friday before the next tour, with the occasional Thursday teaser.

Sundae Tour with... is it NS Sky High Sundae or just Sky High Sundae? It was very clearly meant to debut in Tour but given the current situation... Is this some kind of Smash 4 thing?

I'm sorry about this bad review I gave. I typed this up only two seconds after watching the trailer, which didn't give me enough time to digest just how cool this was. Sure, the grass and rock "textures" haven't changes yet, but the rest of the courses look stunning. And since I became a Mario fan because of MKWii, I'm glad to see Mushroom Gorge make a return, as well as MC3 I guess, though the remix isn't that great. I like SNES-y music, but not when it's in the same game as their incredible Tokyo Blur remaster. Other than that, I can't say much bad stuff about this wave. Sure looks better than Wave 1.

Found this in the comment section of MarioPower55's Wave 2 Custom Track video.

Also, it hasn't even been released yet. Just announced. We don't have a model or anything, Donny Finney. lmbo

Why did they pick Mario Circuit 3 of all the SNES Circuits? And why add a new course to a pass based on retros? Why not replace it with Merry Mountain? And why Snow Land of all GBA courses? And no texture update either. Very disappointing.
Edit: I just remembered that if they replaced Sky High Sundae with Merry Mountain, it would come directly after Snow Land. My mistake.

I just watched Nathaniel Bandy play the new tracks, and here on my thoughts.
All of these look like they could fit in the base game. Like I said before, a lot better than Wave 1.
That sax on Sydney Sprint. Smaller range, but at the same time, more energetic.
MUSHROOM GORGE, BABY! Growing up with the Wii version, I love how they've kept the track almost the same in every entry, since it's pretty much perfect.
Sky High Sundae is one of the best Mario Kart songs of all time.
