Fishes are indeed bishes.

Back at it with another round of Mario 35 Continued Interest! You know I did make the leaderboard last week. Could I make it there again this week?

Starting right off the bat with a Player's Choice this week. I hope I don't get tortured. But then again 2-2 is the first level. Naturally. I do at least get out of it albeit as a smol Mario. 3-2 is next which is by far a better level. And one I can beat too. 8-1 is also not too challenging. Unfortunately though that was already the last level in that queue I could beat. As in 6-1, I find myself cornered with an imitator spiny and die. Yes granted I set myself up for failure there. It's definitely a pickle of a situation when you're facing a storm of Lakitus and you are smol Mario and you got no roulette spins. But you know what though? I got 5th place! I'm on the leaderboard! HUZZAH! Fishes Bishes was the next match. Could you tell what the theme of this match is? That's right! A first level 7-3 fish death! HUZZAH! Fish to the face, momentum dead, Mario in pit. Well that match lasted a short ass time for me. Maybe that was just a fluke and I'll redeem myself on the Feat of Athletics. No not the baseball team. At least I made it past the first level here which was 1-3. 3-3 was next. I decided to go for a roulette wheel hoping to get a mushroom or flower... I didn't. I got a POW block. Well that was a waste. So now I had to be stupid careful here. I did end up getting enough coins for another spin... which was another fucking POW block... fuck me. Despite that I did beat 3-3. And it was on to 5-3. Where... oh wow deja vu another fish is a cause of my death. The fish didn't directly kill me. But the bounce caught me off guard as I ran head on into a koopa. But hey... at least I actually beat levels in this match. Moral victories right?

8-1 was the next match. Yes you heard that right. This match was nothing but 8-1. What you didn't hear was fucking game sound because I'm a fucking idiot who forgot to unmute my damn sound. So uh... I don't know just... play your own music in your mind while I loop 8-1 over and over and over and over and over again until I eventually slip and slide on the final staircase and fall to my death tragically over what should've been an easy jump to make. I guess someone suddenly put ice on those damn stairs. I blame me for forgetting to turn the sound back on for that one. Welp one more match. And it's the dreaded RTAndomizer. It starts off with 6-2 which I... painfully get through. Then off to 7-3. I somehow miraculously survived this level. Especially with a line of plants early up front. A jumping koopa was gifted to me so I could jump over the plants. Next was 3-1. Of course because I was smol Mario, the bonus room for this level was a sad fucking tease. Despite me being smol, I somehow and miraculously made it past the hammer bros. Where the fuck is this luck coming from? I get past 4-4, I'm still smol mind you. And I even make it past 2-2. At least I rolled myself a fire flower in that level. Though now I am kind of regretting turning my sound back on once I got to 7-1 because that level was the end of my road there. I could only be so lucky. Yeah I had a roulette spin. I guess I just didn't realize it. No matter. All that was left was potential bragging rights in the Junior Championship. Which for this week was a mix of easy and hard levels. I got past 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, hell even 8-4. On was 3-1 and... back to 8-4? Already? Well I beat it once I could beat it again right?... well... yeah actually! Not 3-2 though. You might be thinking that I just decided to run head first into a goomba.

But I actually blame my controller for not registering my damn jump button at that time.
