It’s a ME. King Trivia!
Welcome to a very special edition of the greatest quiz show on Earth. Or should we say, the greatest quiz show in the entire Mushroom Kingdom! That’s right, the monarch of mystery has taken the show through a giant green pipe and into the world of Super Mario.
23 teams warped in to collect 100 coins, consume some mushrooms, and defeat the tyrannical lizard kings (Editor’s Note: King Trivia has released no comment regarding the political situation in the Mushroom Kingdom).
Round One warmed up the teams’ trivia muscles and prepared them for the epic war to come. Ten teams held a tie for first place, but all that would change quickly.
Round Two immediately separated those teams that had prepared for this game with those that had not. Emergency Food: None Pizza, Left Mushroom, The Koopalings, The Bleeding Birdos, and Hot Diggity Dogs took a tie for first, beginning a bitter rivalry that would carry to the end of the game.
Round Three was a theme round within a theme show, a turducken of trivial mastery. Emergency Food and Hot Diggity Dogs locked horns in first.
Round Four saw the top spot hold position, with Bleeding Birdos and Koopalings in a tight second.
For our Drinking Round, we paid homage to the original live action Mario, Lou Albano. With a tie-breaker win, Third Mario Brother earned the free shots.
As this was a competition with some iconic characters at the center, we held a Voice Acting competition to see which team could do the best impression of these legends of the 8-bit cartridge. While we crowned many winners, it was IDK that took home the coveted “best Mario” award.
Our leaderboard remained nearly unchanged through the latter half of the show, though Bowser’s Bitches and Bob-omb’s Burgers both made bids for the third place trophy. In the end, it took a tie-breaker to settle the score and award the big prizes.
We crowned Hot Diggity Dogs as our grand champion, followed by Emergency Food: None Pizza, Left Mushroom and Bleeding Birdos.
