Hehe☆
We're all smiles in our picture!

And yet, I feel exhausted for some reason...

We're supposed to turn it in here, right...?

Thanks to you, Akito, our entry turned out very well. I'm sure we'll do fine.

Alright, it looks like our participants have finished taking their pictures. Once you've decided on which to turn in, please get ready to comment on why you chose it and how you designed it!

W-We have to give commentary?!

So, we need to explain what we did...?
This is going to be my first time doing anything like this. I hope it goes okay...

Okay, let's begin with Muscles Are Everything!

That's us!
As you can see, we're all about muscles, so we went with a “brawn is beautiful” approach! I think our biceps turned out great!

We didn't focus on anything in particular. They had these stamps of this game we like, so we decided to keep things simple and just go with those...

Wow!
Everybody's entries look so different and wonderhoy!

Yeah, they're all unique in their own way... Maybe a little too unique, you know...?

Thank you all very much!
Next, Wonderhoy Button Mashers, you have the floor!

Oh, that's us!
We went with our “wonderhoy” pose because we thought it would make you all smile!

The background and doodles we drew were also a part of that! We want everyone to smile and have lots and lots of fun!

Hey, I've seen people do this pose for one of the shows at PXL! And this doodle of Phenny's so adorable!

You can tell they're having fun just by looking at their photo. It reminds me of when my husband and I went to Phoenix Wonderland for a date...

Yes, they're having plenty of fun, but there's a little bit too much going on here for my taste...

Huh?
That man isn't really smiling...

But everybody else appears to like it. That woman in particular can't seem to contain her smile...

(Still, having them all look at a picture of me's so embarrassing...)

Looks like the judges are pleased!
Last but not least, Willow & Cloud, if you will!

That's us...

Yes, so...
For our entry, we tried going with something that's trending right now.

Y-You're posing as...

Cats...?
No, tigers...?

Look, they're going, “RAWR”☆
That's really cute! And super cool!

Geez...

Don't worry, Akito. I'm sure we'll win. After all, your sister and Akiyama said that this pose is “in” right now...

Yeah, this “RAWR” pose's trending on PicShare right now, but it feels like a bit much to try and use it here...

Oh? I see no problem with it.
They did a special on it during this program I always watch called “Princess's Breakfast”, so it feel really trendy.

I'm inclined to agree!
It takes courage for men to do anything like this. Not only that, they added some cool touches that even make me want to try it.

I must commend you for giving me the courage to keep trying and not give up! Thank you!

I wasn't expecting any of those kinds of reactions...

But those two seemed to genuinely like it. That should put us fairly high up, yes?

Okay, now that we've heard from the judges, let's move on to the results!

Our three judges will now each write the name of the team that they believed submitted the best entry!

Whoa! This is so exciting!

Y-Yeah, it is.
I hope we did okay...

Alright, judges, we'll start from the left!

We have...

The Wonderhoy Button Mashers!

What...?!

Woohoo!
I'm so glad that they noticed our hidden Phenny too♪

Okay, let's see what our next judge wrote. He chose...

Willow & Cloud!

*Gasp*
That's a relief...

We're not out of the woods yet, but it's a good sign.

But to think we're neck-and-neck with Kusanagi's team...

Another team can still earn a vote, and if those guys get it... We need to get in the lead as soon as we can since we don't know what's coming down the pike...

I really hope we win, Nene!

Same...

Alright, onto our final judge.
Let's see who she chose!

...

...

Please...

(Please...!)

The final vote goes to...

The Wonderhoy Button Mashers!

*Gasp*

We did it!
Nene, this is so wonderhoy!

Th-Thank goodness...!

We did what we could, so oh well...

Right. We can take the lead during the next round.

Plus, I learned why Print Stickers are so much fun. Let's try using different frames and stamps next time.

Sorry, but you're gonna have to ask someone else...

Hey, what's up with this tournament...!
We can't do “the thing” with Print Stickers!

Let's just calm down.
It's just the first round. We can let this one go and focus on winning the next two. How's that sound?

Hm...?

(What do they mean by “the thing”...?
They've been going on about it for some time now.)

Okay, we certainly have a fun competition on our hands now! Let's move on to the next round!

Oh, what's next?!
I can't wait to see!

I have to think we're not gonna get another curveball like Print Stickers...

Alright, here it is!
For the second round, you'll all be playing...

The hit puzzle game, “Puyo Puyo 2”!

*Gasp*
Akito, we get to play Puyo Puyo!

Perfect! Puzzle games are right up your alley, Toya.

Yes, I have a good feeling about this since I play it so often. Let's get the win we need this round.

Awesome! I've played Puyo Puyo with Shosuke before! It always feels amazing when you get to pop a bunch at once!

A falling block puzzle game, huh...?

It's not my best genre, but I'll just have to try my best...

For this second round, we will be having a Puyo Puyo tournament!

Each team member will play on their own and the winning team will be determined based on total wins and losses. In the event there is a tie, the winner will be the team that scored the most points.

Ah...
We're playing as individuals this time.

I can't lose here.

Which team do you think we're gonna play against first?

Here are the matchups!!
First up, we have...

...!

Willow & Cloud...!

Oh, we're playing against Toya's team?

Yeah. After the previous round, we're leading in terms of points with Aoyagi's team right behind us...

Which means...
This is a battle for the title between us, the Wonderhoy Button Mashers, and Toya's team, Willow & Cloud!

Yeah, so...

We can't lose here...!
