Mario Enemy Character Elimination

Mario Enemy Character Elimination is a character elimination series created by Weatherstar4000video, starting in August 2016. The series was put on hiatus indefinitely in January 2019, before it was revived and continued in 2022 by a user named LankySheet The 2-D Vyond Ninja, who wanted to finish season 7 with Weatherstar's permission. Despite this elimination being praised by practically everyone in Weatherstar's fanbase (and possibly the GoAnimate/Vyond community in general), it is a character elimination that's infamous for being a travesty of biasedness with unfair penalties and mean-spirited scenes being thrown into the mix.

'Note: Weatherstar's fanbase is known for being notoriously toxic and controversial to the point where they will vandalise or a-log any page that criticises him. Please do not attempt to vandalise this page. Anyone who does so will have their actions reverted with them being reported without hesitation - no exceptions.'

'''Please don't harass anyone mentioned, regardless if they were associated with this character elimination or not. Failure to comply may result in being reported on this wiki or anywhere else where the action was taken.'''

Why this Character Elimination May Throw Your Nintendo Spirit into the TLC
 General (all seasons)   Season 1   Season 2   Season 3   Season 4   Season 5   Season 6   Season 7 (Weatherstar episodes)   Season 7 (LankySheet episodes)   Miscellaneous 
 * 1) The episodes don't use custom thumbnails at all, which causes spoilers to people who haven't watched the videos. For example, season 2, episode 20 takes place at night, and in episode 23 of that season, you can tell that Bullet Bill is eliminated just from the thumbnail alone, because he has a bronze medal and he said "can you teleport me to the TLC?".
 * 2) The contestant roster for every season is very lazy and uninspired.
 * 3) *Most of the contestants are generic enemy choices from the Mario platformers, such as Goombas, Koopas, Boos, Bullet Bills, and Piranha Plants. Sometimes, winged, dark, Bro, cat and normal versions of enemies are included to fill up contestant slots. Here are examples in every season (especially seasons 6 and 7):
 * 4) *#Goomba and Paragoomba
 * 5) *#Dry Bones, Dry Bone Bro, Voloomba, Paragoomba
 * 6) *#Boo, Dark Boo, Cyborg Bro
 * 7) *#Koopa, Dark Koopa, Boomerang Bro, Cyborg Bro
 * 8) *#Spiny, Sky Blue Spiny, Boo, Dark Boo
 * 9) *#Boo, King Boo, Dark Boo, Dark King Boo, Boohemoth, Cat Goomba, Bone Goomba, Blue Goomba, Spiny, Sky Blue Spiny, Monty Mole, Molly Mole
 * 10) *#Nabbit, Orange Nabbit, Pink Nabbit, Voloomba, Paragoomba
 * 11) *Around a third of the contestants are Mario bosses or dark versions of other enemies; especially Bowser, who should be the leader of his minions, not a regular contestant. Not to mention that there are Shadow Queen clones of Daisy and Rosalina, too. Examples from all seasons (no duplicates):
 * 12) *#Petey Piranha, Gooper Blooper, Boom Boom, Doopliss
 * 13) *#Dimentio, the Shadow Queen (known as Shadow Queen Peach in the video), Rookie, Dark Bowser
 * 14) *#Bowser Jr., Fawful, Popple, Marilyn, Beldam, Midbus
 * 15) *#Virtual Virus (a green clone of Dark Bowser), Shadow Queen Daisy
 * 16) *#Francis, Dark Virtual Virus (a blue clone of Dark Bowser), Shadow Queen Rosalina
 * 17) *#Dark Dimentio, Pom Pom, Dark Dry Bowser, Dry Bowser, Mr. L
 * 18) *#Bowser, Dark Meowser
 * 19) *Wario, despite being a boss/enemy in only two games (SML2, Mario & Wario) and a playable character everywhere else, is a contestant on the show in three seasons even though he's no longer an enemy, but still Mario's rival (in a way). Same with Waluigi.
 * 20) **For whatever reason, Birdo is a prize hander, despite her being a boss (or enemy) at least 7 times more than Wario.
 * 21) *Lakitu and Lakithunder, despite being the hosts, are Mario enemies on the show, especially the latter, who is supposed to be a boss that has made only one appearance in the Mario series.
 * 22) *Some characters that shouldn't talk at all, such as Donkey Kong, end up talking in this elimination, which makes them completely out of character (with the exception of the DK cartoon and The Super Mario Bros. Movie).
 * 23) *Some clones of characters have different voices despite being total clones of each other with an extra addition added. For example, Goomba's voice is Diesel, when Paragoomba's voice is Brian. When you stomp on a Paragoomba to make him lose his wings, does that mean his voice gets changed to Diesel, or does it remain as Brian? There's a plot hole for ya.
 * 24) The characters have almost no personality at all, to the point where it's ridiculously easy to see that they appear to intentionally botch the challenge just to make themselves up for elimination. For example, we don't see the following:
 * 25) *Bowser's fearsome dialogue and character interaction, such as his lines that he says in the Mario & Luigi RPG series.
 * 26) *Francis' hi-technicaaaaal personality from Super Paper Mario. No references to his nerdy schemes, either.
 * 27) *Vivian and her two sisters, Marilyn and Beldam, squabbling with each other as they would do in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
 * 28) *Fawful's famous dialogue that he uses, especially during Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. He doesn't have fury here... ☹
 * 29) *Dimentio's love for power to use at his own agenda, such as using the Chaos Heart to take over the world. Not even his writing is present in this elimination.
 * 30) *The Shadow Queen (aka SQ Peach) wanting to plunge the world into eternal darkness with her foul magic, along with completely destroying those who try to stop her.
 * 31) *Doopliss' dialogue and known actions of turning into other characters, instead throwing unnecessary tantrums just because davemadson had done so with Microsoft Sam and Co. This is not only a missed opportunity to use a character ability, but it's also the wrong opportunity that Weatherstar took.
 * 32) To add onto #3, most of the characters either act like they haven't done anything, wish that they weren't eliminated or penalised, complain that they've lost, or if a teammate lost, beg for another chance that they obviously won't get, or become ridiculously angry over something that isn't a big deal.
 * 33) *They mention users (especially T-Jay the Boss Master and Spiny Sis) that have nothing to do with the elimination. Therefore, it's an unoriginal reaction to being eliminated or given penalties, and the opinion stated will likely not be the same in the near future.
 * 34) *Plus, when a host says that the contestants aren't allowed to do a specific action, one of them will always do that action, causing the results to go "disqualified for [action here]", specifically for the contestant that Weatherstar wants eliminated more than anyone else.
 * 35) The characters completely forget their powers and special abilities, with the exception of Dimentio (and possibly Petey, because he can fly). Other examples include:
 * 36) *The Shadow Queen (and the other two SQ princesses) using her magic to manipulate the environment
 * 37) *Bowser's fire breath to roast his minions that displease him (same with Bowser Jr.)
 * 38) *Doopliss being able to turn into other characters, even to the point where they steal their identity, rendering the original character to be a purple shadow
 * 39) *Boom Boom and Pom Pom's attacks from Super Mario 3D Land/World
 * 40) *Any of the Boos' abilities and weaknesses:
 * 41) *#Turning invisible
 * 42) *#Being able to pop up and scare people as an attack in Paper Mario games
 * 43) *#Stealing coins or Stars from other players in Mario Party games, at a fee
 * 44) *#Making people invisible, along with stealing an item from a random player in front of them in Mario Kart games and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The invisibility causes attacks to miss, meaning that they're technically invincible to them, with a few exceptions (such as poison or falling off the course).
 * 45) *#Holding items, such as coins or Power Stars from Super Mario Galaxy
 * 46) *#Hiding in fear when looked at
 * 47) *#Disappearing when exposed to light (sometimes for too long)
 * 48) *The Piranha Plant (and his variants) being able to spit fireballs at enemies
 * 49) *Paragoomba and Paratroopa's flying. They have wings, don't they?
 * 50) *Kamek's PlayStation-esque magic.
 * 51) *Any of the Bro enemies' traits:
 * 52) *#Throwing hammers and boomerangs
 * 53) *#Quick manoeuvrability
 * 54) *#Slamming the ground to stun everyone nearby, as long as they're not in the air
 * 55) *...and more. The depletion of character powers ends up makes the character elimination less interesting and bland to watch.
 * 56) It should be obvious that this character elimination uses prop characters (with a few exceptions). Not to mention, some of them, such as Gooper Blooper and SQ Rosalina, don't have their background removed.
 * 57) *Instead of making the characters shocked or surprised, he puts an exclamation mark or two above or close to their heads, all deliberately colored to be the character's primary color, which is not only annoying, but it's also very, very lazy. (plus it doesn't make sense to put two when they're supposed to be surprised)
 * 58) *Some props and items don't have their backgrounds removed, either.
 * 59) Some of the characters are either stolen from DeviantArt or Fantendo. Examples include Vivian, made by a now deleted DeviantArt user called HenHenHen, and Cyborg Bro and Buddy Bro, who are bad photoshops of the original Bro enemies, from users of Fantendo. The latter became a prize hander twice despite being an obvious Mario enemy (more on prize handers later).
 * 60) Basically every episode that Weatherstar made was very clearly rushed due to most of the challenges being entirely skipped over when they would've contained something original. Anything plagiarised, however, especially the "eat a giant cake" and "make a rant/salute" challenges, is not skipped at all.
 * 61) *A majority of the challenges are very bland and repetitive, to the point where some challenges are duplicates of challenges from previous seasons. We get the following:
 * 62) *#Challenges where contestants mustn't drop or grab something
 * 63) *#Challenges where contestants mustn't perform a specific action
 * 64) *#Challenges where contestants must stay in an area or underwater the longest
 * 65) *#Challenges where contestants must collect the most of a certain object (the NYC pictures one falls under this category)
 * 66) *#Challenges where contestants have to race each other, sometimes with only one contestant on each team instead of everyone on both teams (effectively making contestants being up for elimination despite it not being their fault).
 * 67) *#Challenges where contestants need to stay on something the longest, where a contestant throws everyone off at once, defying the laws of logic
 * 68) *#Challenges using sports that involve running, jumping, poles, or target practice. If the challenge is soccer, football, or hockey, then it's always skipped over and it'll always result in a tie, with a bland tie-breaker using two contestants instead of everyone from two teams.
 * 69) *#Challenges where you need to catch stuff, avoiding traps
 * 70) *#Challenges where you need to make or bake something, usually with a contestant that Weatherstar wants eliminated to ruin it, and to make Lakitu go "who did this" just to make that character admit that they've done so, even if they actually didn't. We don't know because it's skipped over to cover up the details.
 * 71) *#The two worst challenges ever (as stated above), the "eat a giant cake/pizza" challenge and "making a rant/salute".
 * 72) *Many people don't want to see plagiarised challenges anymore, and the rants/salutes will always be GoAnimate-styled, making them both a complete waste of a challenge to begin with, especially the latter, because that challenge is mainly used as an excuse for Weatherstar to rant or salute on users that he likes and dislikes; one of which is an obvious troll (AmazingZackKid6829).
 * 73) *There have been a few instances where a note is placed in the video explaining that a voice is replaced due to a voice provider going down, when he should've just used another website containing the same voice, or waited until the voice was back online.
 * 74) *The voting for the episodes always ends tomorrow at a random time, and time zones aren't taken into account. To make things even more confusing, starting from episode 8 of the first season, the host(s) end up saying that the voting ends on the next day of the week instead of just simply tomorrow (example: An episode is released Thursday, so they will say that voting ends on Friday instead of tomorrow). This is a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
 * 75) *When the results pop up for a race or a sport, the time or score for most challenges isn't displayed, and the results on placements are listed from left to right instead of up to down, making them confusing to understand.
 * 76) Like other character eliminations, this one gives contestants penalties for even the dumbest known reasons, such as simply losing the challenge.
 * 77) *Sometimes, more than one penalty can be given for one small mistake:
 * 78) *#Paragoomba casting a spell on another contestant, giving him not one, but two penalties. The spell didn't even work, which completely breaks this.
 * 79) *#Ranting or saluting on something that the creator likes/dislikes has always been a horrible thing to do; doing the opposite of what the challenge specifies always yields three penalties even if they are not deserved, with the exception of season 7, episode 7. To add insult to injury (literally), a contestant will usually attack the one who failed the challenge to not only pad out the episode, but to make them get a sign telling viewers to vote for them to win a prize, which is much worse than ranting or saluting on something wrong.
 * 80) *#Plus, this sign makes absolutely zero sense to give, as the prize could've been given to them right away instead of giving them a sign to manipulate the voting. The extra prize votes also add onto the fact that the prize could've been given right away.
 * 81) This elimination includes prize handers, which are generally pointless, as they serve no purpose other than to give the creator's favorite characters screen time. If you want to read the rest of the problems with them, read the article on character eliminations. Prize hander problems exclusive to this elimination:
 * 82) *Most of them feature a randomly colored Toad or Yoshi instead of anyone memorable, such as Koopa Kid (Mini Bowser in PAL regions of Mario Party 6 and 7), and due to Weatherstar's manipulated fanbase, they always end up choosing them instead of anyone else, such as Funky, Brighton, Twila, or the Honey Queen. Even the young Master Luma (the one that stays in Mario's cap throughout (almost) the entirety of Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, to grant him the spin ability) would've been a better choice. Both Brighton and Twila appear as prize handers, but they are never chosen.
 * 83) *Likewise, if a Mario princess such as Peach, Daisy or Rosalina is available as a prize hander, then they will appear in the next episode to do exactly that, because their reputation/popularity usurps everyone else.
 * 84) *To make matters worse, if there's no need to vote for a prize hander, a randomly colored Toad or Yoshi will usually hand out the prizes instead of the hosts. This entire point is no longer a problem in LankySheet's continuation episodes.
 * 85) This elimination uses the Tiny Loser Chamber and Locker of Losers from Battle for Dream Island, and credit isn't given. Plus, it's lazy.
 * 86) If someone voted for a contestant that isn't in the season, instead of Weatherstar replying to the comment that doesn't vote correctly, the next episode ends up containing a filler segment that only exists just to state that in the video, and even then, the description could've been used for that same purpose. The words "voting closed" are typed in the descriptions of every episode.
 * 87) There is a lot of volume abuse in some of these episodes, especially when contestants get penalties or eliminated.
 * 88) *Even the visual effects get abused, which doesn't help for the current situations at all.
 * 89) There are a lot of typos, punctuation errors, and grammar errors in the speech boxes. For example, the word "you're" is misspelt frequently as "your" in almost every episode that Weatherstar made.
 * 90) He had privated a few episodes (S1EP22, S1EP24, S2EP24, S3EP25 and the season 4 trailer), had the ratings hidden in season 1, episode 16, and disabled the comments in the season 6 trailer, likely to hide backlash. Obviously, that will cause more backlash to Weatherstar, and privating some of these episodes makes them lost media. The laser tag and freezer challenges are completely lost to time.
 * 91) The technical difficulties screen used in later seasons is very annoying to hear, especially the jingle that plays backwards.
 * 92) *The AGK beatdown sound effect is literally the most overused and annoying thing to hear in all of GoAnimate, and this specific use of it is very inappropriate and unfitting. It could've been a quick smash sound from Vyond playing 10 times.
 * 93) The hosts constantly go "the person with the most elimination votes will be eliminated, and the person with the most prize votes will win the prize" with every single elimination, which can also get annoying.
 * 94) In seasons 1 - 6, the contestants either beg to rejoin the game, or threaten the viewers in the lamest ways imaginable. Two instances of this are unnecessarily loud; no volume warnings at all.
 * 95) The prizes are generally useless in this elimination; most of them are a new game, a VHS, a DVD or tickets to a random game or a generic and/or overrated user's movie.
 * 96) *In seasons 2 and 3, when the prize is given to a contestant, as soon as the elimination votes are given, the prize disappears as if they never got it in the first place.
 * 97) *Only one contestant can win the prize even when 2+ people are up for elimination, which is stupid.
 * 1) The video is recorded using a camera instead of a screen recorder. Despite the camera being still most of the time, the audio ends up suffering, especially during later episodes of the season. This continues until season 3, episode 23 (last episode using a camera).
 * 2) In episode 12, Doopliss is chosen to do rock, paper, scissors with Paratroopa, which doesn't work because Doopliss doesn't even have visible arms due to him being a Duplighost from the Paper Mario series. This causes an arm prop to appear where Doopliss' hand would've been, erroneously colored to be the same as his form.
 * 1) Starting with this season, any instances of a team showing off what they made are accompanied by an annoying kazoo sound effect from GoAnimate, used for winning and losing respectively. If the first sound is used, then it'll always result in the second team losing along with Weatherstar basically choosing who they want eliminated. Even worse, said character says "um" more times than necessary, there would be an unnecessary exclamation mark above the host's head, and volume abuse would occur. Season 1 didn't have any of the problems listed from this point alone.
 * 2) Instead of showing off the total votes from genuine and extra votes that the contestants would've got by default, like in season 1, the prize hander mentions the extra elimination votes then adds them, which points out the obvious, and even without the extra votes, they would've been eliminated anyway because of a biased fanbase.
 * 3) *Likewise, instead of showing the number of votes that a prize hander got in the next episode, it is listed as a random comment that's almost impossible to find, unless it's actually pinned in later seasons. This hasn't been fixed in LankySheet's episodes.
 * 4) Episode 2 rips off the crying contest from BFDI 10. "And shush the sheesh" is a joke overused in Weatherstar's videos.
 * 5) In episode 7, the challenge where Dimentio (intentionally?) lets himself get crushed by a weight. Even if he wasn't allowed to do so (stated in episode 8), he could've moved swiftly out of the way or sent the weight to Dimension D or do practically anything else other than getting crushed by it.
 * 6) *Plot hole: Why are characters not allowed to teleport, and what's the point of this rule other than to ruin the opportunity of a contestant being smart?
 * 7) Episode 12 shamelessly rips off both challenges from BFDI 4: Baking a cake and getting a high score from the judges (to a point where a die is used just because BFDI did the same), and eating chocolate balls. The number of balls required was increased from 100 to 300, likely as a cover-up attempt.
 * 8) *It even rips off the scene where dirt ends up getting a better score than someone else's cake.
 * 9) *A block of dirt from Minecraft is used instead of an image of actual dirt.
 * 10) *Dark Bowser gives 1 for the first cake likely because Flower did the same thing, not because he didn't like it at all.
 * 11) *The points from the die are erroneously counted from the side of the die and not the top.
 * 12) *When the challenge gets skipped over, the scoreboard or results do not appear, making it impossible to determine who got the highest score out of everyone, or what both teams' scores would've been.
 * 13) Both of these groundings from episodes 10 and 20, respectively, are entirely unnecessary and a missed opportunity to not make a parent act like a selfish brat. Being forced to give the prize to someone else is also unnecessary and isn't even fair, period, especially if you give it to your parent just to give it to the person that they're mentioning.
 * 14) The international voices are used starting with the second half of this season, and they are completely unnecessary and basically the polar opposite of using an actual scream that a character would've made in previous appearances of the franchise that they belong in. For example, any of the Bowser clones could've used a voice clip of him screaming as he's falling to his death, instead of a random foreign voice that isn't funny at all. None of them are. They are erroneously called crying voices despite them being used when they scream.
 * 1) This scene from episode 2 is plagiarised from BFDI, and it's even worse with the word and letter spamming. He didn't even add a sound effect when the camera zooms onto someone getting 0 points.
 * 2) The results of episode 14 spell Bullet Bill's name wrong, with it spelling "Bullet Bull".
 * 3) The light blue Yoshi is not facing the camera like all the other images of the Yoshies, which makes him feel out of place and it's a sign of not being able to find a different image that would've looked better.
 * 1) The first episode could've jumped straight to the results instead of the last contestant (SQ Daisy) where she fired a paintball at Lakitu's privates, but how would she be able to do so if the cloud was already covering the lower half of him?
 * 2) Also, SQ Daisy has two weird silhouettes attached to the back of her that should've been edited out as they look rather out of place.
 * 3) In episode 3, Lakitu keeps saying 30 points repeatedly instead of trying to structure his sentences better.
 * 4) In episode 7, Boomerang Bro disses Lakitu off for being unreasonable at the end, causing Lakitu to yell at him again immediately afterwards, which was completely unnecessary. If a host was being disrespectful to a contestant then obviously they would say "screw you" to them.
 * 5) Episode 12 features Birdo as a prize hander. She shouldn't be one. As stated before, she has been a boss more times than Wario and Waluigi have, combined.
 * 6) In episode 15, Bowser takes 137 pictures of New York City in 11 minutes, even though he's supposed to be the slowest enemy, so he wouldn't have travelled very far. Pink Boo would've more agile than any of the other contestants so he should've won instead.
 * 7) Episode 17 has an unnecessary jail and grounding scene at the end that should've been removed entirely. The "Weatherstar ending" being used only makes it even worse and even more unnecessary. This is used with every single unnecessary end-scene grounding in these eliminations.
 * 8) This scene. Not only is there unneeded volume abuse, but the n-word is even said with an "ER" used in it, judging by the number of asterisks (5 instead of 4). Censoring it changes nothing, as it's an example of how hypocritical both Weatherstar and his fanbase is for complaining and screaming the word "racist" in all caps when hearing this word, before and after this video, but not complaining about using it here. Regardless, completely unnecessary n-word usage, especially for someone who would've been around 22 years old at the time. Yes, really.
 * 9) Episode 20 features Buddy Bro as a prize hander, who should've been used as an intern in the challenge from season 3, episode 9, instead of what appears to be Purple Fire Bro. Buddy Bro is a badly photoshopped Mario enemy (especially with his mouth) that the GoAnimate/Vyond community incorrectly believes is a good guy. Either way, it's a waste of a prize hander in general.
 * 1) This is the season where Lakithunder appears as a co-host. He's 100% identical to Lakitu and therefore serves no purpose other than being a filler character with a duplicated personality. No, we're not joking.
 * 2) In episode 1, the props used for the contestants putting their hands up are misplaced. The arm prop is used for them even if the characters don't have arms (hands only), completely breaking this.
 * 3) Also in episode 1, the answer that Lakithunder gives to the question "What princess does Mario save in Donkey Kong (the game)", Pauline, is also incorrect, because Pauline isn't a princess and there hasn't been a point in time where she has been one. She can be confused for Peach due to her sprite using the same color dress as her, but still. The penalty given to Cheep Cheep for getting the wrong answer is likely the most unnecessary one of the entire series.
 * 4) In episode 5, instead of using a Comedy World version of the Hungry Pumpkin, an image of him is used instead. Pumpkin has a typo, spelt as "Pumkin", every single time his name is mentioned (although, this is likely intentional due to the original game having the same error (?)).
 * 5) *When Buzzy Beetle complains about the butter (unnecessarily at max volume), instead of BFDI assets being used for his mouth, there is a lazily placed exclamation mark that completely throws any common sense out of the restaurant.
 * 6) *One of the teams scored 0 points, which is not possible in the vanilla game. Granted, this is a character elimination version of the game, but it's not realistic to constantly go for the "perfect score, then no score" approach.
 * 7) *Eyepatch Toad is used for the manager of the restaurant instead of anyone else; him appearing in every plagiarised, but now privated copy of Weatherstar's "sucks at Hungry Pumpkin" videos was bad enough, but this doesn't even make any sense, because this restaurant would've been different to the standalone videos.
 * 8) Ice Peach (Princess) in episode 7 looks even worse than her original appearance back in season 2. It's literally just a recolored Princess Peach image. And also, this clone of Peach uses Julie as her voice, when all other clones (except Pink Gold Peach in season 6) use the Princess voice. Inconsistency much? 🤔
 * 9) Episode 20 has an unnecessary grounding at the end that could've been removed entirely. Making it a separate video as a deleted scene or aftermath wouldn't work, either. Not to mention, most of this episode is just counting votes as slowly as possible (not joking).
 * 10) Episode 22 features Buddy Bro as a prize hander again. Once again, this is a Mario enemy. We don't need to repeat ourselves, do we?
 * 1) The only reason why 5 different Boo enemies are on the same team (Dark King Boo Powers) is just to fill up the character slots of that team. The Atomic Boo, an enemy from the Paper Mario series, could've been used instead of Dark King Boo, who isn't even an official Mario enemy. Mr. L, Dimentio and Francis, all of which are Paper Mario enemies/bosses, are present in the series, even before this season. Did you know that there's an unused enemy named Dark Atomic Boo in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario? That could've been used if Weatherstar was desperate to find a dark enemy. How sad that he didn't...
 * 2) This is the season where characters are fired into the TLC using a cannon instead of just teleporting them there or making them fall through the floor. This causes problems; instead of the hander or the host moving closer to the cannon to fire it, an arm prop overlaps their hands to make them touch the cannon, which looks super wrong and out of proportion. This mistake happens every time, even in season 7 and in LankySheet's episodes.
 * 3) Episode 1 uses a piece of artwork from an actual artist from Debra Hurd and Weatherstar didn't check to see if it was copyright-protected or not. It's almost exactly the same as Viacom stealing artwork of a SpongeBob background, used for a promo, without permission from the creator. At least Weatherstar didn't remove the watermark or signature, but still.
 * 4) Also in episode 1, Mr. L's painting of him killing the hosts is unnecessarily censored, yet Weatherstar had made killing videos of characters and users before and after this episode, making him very hypocritical. The only thing that should be "censored for bad content" are the plagiarised challenges of character eliminations.
 * 5) In episode 3, when the "floor is lava" challenge ends, the rock that contestants are supposed to stand on is missing.
 * 6) The Toad and Yoshi clones somehow become even worse in this season than in previous ones. The Toads are basically just recolors of the original image with a console or browser's logo attached to them, such as Nintendo 64 Toad and Google Chrome Toadette. These recolors should not exist.
 * 7) Episode 14 makes the exact same mistake as season 3, episode 2's case, but two unnecessary penalties are given even though this didn't happen with Marilyn or Beldam at all in season 3. Imagine taking something that you've plagiarised and then you plagiarise it again and make it even worse than what you've done in the past. This ends up leaving a disgusting taste in the viewers' mouths.
 * 8) Episodes 15 and 17 literally spoil who gets eliminated just from the thumbnail alone. The handers are both Yoshies and both of them incorrectly activate the cannon with misplaced arm props. Likewise, episodes 6 and 22 spoil who's eliminated as well.
 * 9) Unnecessary grounding scene at the end of episode 23. It is 100% identical to the previous two iterations, retaining all mistakes.
 * 10) The only reason why knocking over a hurdle in episode 29 counts as a disqualification is because Weatherstar wanted to get SQ Rosalina eliminated, and it was skipped over to cover it up. Believe it or not, according to IAAF rules, deliberately knocking down or running around (or under) a hurdle disqualifies you. Accidentally knocking down a hurdle doesn't disqualify you.
 * 11) *This causes another plot hole: What if the hurdle was knocked down by accident, in some way, shape or form? How would we be able to tell if that actually happened without relying on the results? We'll never know...
 * 12) Episode 32's challenge is incredibly stupid. In this challenge, you're supposed to look at the sun without looking away, but doing so would cause the contestants to go blind. The one character who doesn't open their eyes (let alone looking at the sun), Monty Mole, wins the challenge. That's not fair.
 * 13) To add insult to injury, Monty unfairly won again in episode 33; this time with the contestants not being allowed to blink, or they're out. Petey ends up blinking despite not having any eyes.
 * 14) Using the Bangers font instead of Noto Sans or Arial makes it simply impossible to tell whether a letter is supposed to be an uppercase or lowercase, and is therefore a downgrade in the speech boxes and a missed opportunity to allow people to be able to tell the difference in emotions from text alone.
 * 15) Starting with this season, Weatherstar gets his "trusted friends" to choose the international voice for the characters screaming instead of just using their regular voices and being done with them.
 * 1) Using three different Nabbits (purple, orange, pink) to fill up the character slots again.
 * 2) Toad launches a contestant to the TLC without letting him say his final words in episode 2, and makes a fake reason why. This is rather unsportsmanlike, to the point where Vincent copied this mistake in one of his character eliminations.
 * 3) In episode 5, when Dark Boomerang Bro spends the money he earned for his team, instead of saying "um" only once, he says it 100 times. Why?
 * 4) In episode 6, Paragoomba could've easily flown out of the maze with SQ Daisy instead of checking her Twitter feed. When the challenge ends, instead of Lakitu or any of the flying enemies going back into the maze to grab the two losing contestants, he sends the slow moving spiky enemy (Spiny) out, who doesn't have wings, which is not using common sense.
 * 5) *To add insult to injury, because two contestants failed the challenge, Lakitu makes this a double elimination and Weatherstar's pinned comment spoils the number of contestants up for elimination. This is an inconvenient time to do this, because it ruins all tension and it only makes the season have one less episode every time this is done (which counts as rushing or laziness).
 * 6) Episode 11 features an unnecessary rejoin hander (Daisyette) that serves even less of a purpose than prize handers. As if the hosts couldn't get any lazier with their jobs...
 * 7) In episode 14, both teams make the exact same snow angel to the point where the same image of it is used twice. This causes a duplicate tie-breaker to occur.
 * 8) In episode 16, the ice cream machine stands do not have their backgrounds removed in their tires due to the lack of care or testing being put into the video.
 * 1) Right away, the TLC is an image that uses pixel art that has the word "chamber" spelt wrong during the first few episodes.
 * 2) There appears to be no gravity in the elimination room, because the characters that can't fly end up floating in the air. Funnily enough, sometimes the prize hander is very small, sometimes smaller than the contestants.
 * 3) Penalties are still abused. The very first episode that's made beyond episode 16 of this season yields 50 elimination votes to both Dimentios. Pretty sure 5 would've been enough.
 * 4) Episode 20 spoils that this is a double elimination in the description.
 * 1) This character elimination's popularity basically made all future character eliminations plummet to standards that are unbelievably low. In fact, some eliminations made by Weatherstar's fans (such as Vincent Stark, FireLuigi29, Wylee Oliveras, etc.) have copied the way he does eliminations, which is pretty fatal considering that they end up being very bland and near-identical to what he has made.
 * 2) Adding onto #1, entire seasons of his eliminations have been directly plagiarised, using "inspiration" to cover it up, such as Mario Troublemaker Character Elimination (original, seasons 1 and 2), and TheMatthewMilton's character elimination called... Mario Enemy Character Elimination. The first 13 episodes of Weatherstar's elimination were copied verbatim in this elimination, until MJ, the Spirit said that what he was doing was wrong, causing Matthew to delete all the episodes of the show and the playlist instantly. You can find more information in this document.
 * 3) Every instance of the host going "and there's no need to vote to hand out the prizes" where a randomly colored Toad or Yoshi is used (especially Eyepatch Toad) is a missed opportunity to put the other handers that Weatherstar could've used.
 * 4) The results at the end of a season and the contestants willing to rejoin normally use speed lines as its background, which can give people seizures. Using the mosaic prop to censor stuff yields the same effect.
 * 5) This elimination has likely made the "vote for me to win the prize" sign exist.
 * 6) Season 4's grand prize is $1 billion, when the other seasons have prizes which are much smaller, such as $1 million or $20 million.
 * 7) *Even then, the grand prize could've been something original instead of a large sum of money that doesn't get used outside of the elimination.
 * 8) When a contestant escapes the TLC and becomes disqualified from rejoining, the number of votes that they would've got is not stated at all.
 * 9) *To make matters worse, it's usually a contestant that Weatherstar hates the most, regardless if they appear to be capable of escaping or not.
 * 10) Even Battle for GoAnimate Island is better than this; at least that uses the BFDI soundtrack despite it being a plagiarising mess as well (and a bad object show/character elimination in general). Weatherstar's Mario Enemy Character Elimination doesn't include music, with the exception of the final challenges of each season and the results.
 * 11) If Weatherstar didn't train his fanbase to vote for the most generic characters to join the game or to hand out prizes, then this elimination would've had better character interactions. For example, Molly Mole in season 6 shouldn't have joined the game because she is a rip-off of Monty Mole with a flower placed on her head and a duplicated personality; the other characters such as King Bob-omb and King Bill would've been cooler choices.
 * 12) King Bob-omb is a memorable boss in Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart DS; he has a lot of explosives up his sleeve, too.
 * 13) King Bill is literally invincible and tears through everything; trying to jump on him in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, U and U Deluxe causes you to take damage.
 * 14) Likewise with this point, characters like Brighton and Twila would've been chosen to hand out the prizes instead of a random Toad or Yoshi. Too bad...
 * 15) And finally, the team names are very bland (and possibly senseless), as they are the team captain's name and a random word attached:
 * 16) The Koopa Masters
 * 17) The Wario Devils
 * 18) The Blooper Squashers
 * 19) The Dark Bowser Monsters
 * 20) The Petey Experts
 * 21) The Cyborg Bro Grandevils
 * 22) The Kamek Pressures
 * 23) The Spike Giants
 * 24) The Paratroopa Flappers
 * 25) The Sky Blue Spiny Devils
 * 26) The Cat Goomba Runners
 * 27) The Dark King Boo Powers
 * 28) The Nabbit Destroyers
 * 29) The Electric Boo Electrocuters

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) At least Weatherstar took the time to create a scoreboard with detailed information for the bowling challenge in season 1, instead of showing a screen with potentially erroneous results.
 * 2) Some scenes can be funny, such as the scene where Spiny Cheep Cheep says that the Mario enemy microwave dinners contained 1 million calories. That is wonderful!
 * 3) At least the pointless screen where one character fades from the rest isn't shown at all in the elimination, despite using a cannon.
 * 4) LankySheet had fixed a lot of the mistakes that this elimination made when Weatherstar brought it into existence. The characters don't act like jerks or idiots who deliberately get themselves up for elimination, saying that they forgot when they didn't.
 * 5) Some of the BFDI references that aren't plagiarising scenes or challenges, are somewhat decent.
 * 6) There is some character interaction here and there, but it mainly exists for the sake of doing so and not because it's one of the things that they tend to do, as you don't see them interacting in the same way in grounding videos.
 * 7) Lakitu and Lakithunder have retired as the host and co-host, starting with season 7, episode 26. This is why.
 * 8) Not really a redeeming quality, but at least Bowser, the leader of all his minions, was able to win for once (he won in season 7).
