Alright, this one’s called PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

What happened to Mario and Luigi?

They’re actually next.

This is another battle.

Well, this one’s a fighting game.

They’re all fighting games!

[I begin to laugh immensely.]

They are!

[Kratos appears.]

Oh my, he’s creepy.

[Now Sweet Tooth appears.]

Ah! I hate clowns, so I’m not going to like this one.

[Sly Cooper appears.]

Oh, it’s animated.

It has a bunch of characters from different games.

[PaRappa the Rapper appears.]

Looks like Underdog.

No, that’s PaRappa the Rapper.

Oh.

Does this look fun?

No.

Why not?

Well…it sort of looks like Mario, because you jump. It looks like…um….

What does it look like?

Like The Avengers. Like a low-class Avengers.

So what did you think of that one?

Eh, no.
