Sandile: Seeing this message,
you are probably assuming that Popo won Round 4. However, that is not
necessarily the case. I am not going to tell you who won this round
until the Finale video. (It was pretty close though, I will say.)
Toad:
After the message for Round 4 was sent out, I realized that if Pikachu
won Round 4, then Popo would know he lost as soon as the Finale video
was uploaded. This would cause the Finale video to be anticlimactic. I
then decided that I would not reveal the winner of Round 4, and no
matter who won, I would send out another challenge.
Sandile: Has
Pikachu already won? Or is Popo still hanging on? Only I know the answer
to that! Now here is the final challenge of Total Nintendo Universe:
Give
me your thoughts on TNU! Yup, the final challenge is as simple as that
. Just give me your thoughts! Your only guidelines are to make sure
your responses are heartfelt and honest! Should you write a few
sentences, or perhaps a whole page? Should you describe all of your
experiences in great detail? Or should you give me a list of what you
liked and what you didn't like about the camp? All of this is up to you.
The
player whose response I enjoyed the most will be the winner of the
challenge. I am looking forward to seeing what you two do when receiving
such little guidelines.
Your response will be your last "confessional", so be prepared for everyone who watches the Finale video to read it.
Toad:
There is one final catch! If one of you do not complete this challenge,
you automatically lose! So if Pikachu has already won, he could
potentially be giving away his victory if he is inactive for this last
challenge. (I will give plenty of time and warnings when I am about to
end it, so I doubt this will happen.)
Also, the challenge will
end before the video is released. I will send you a message once both of
you have completed the challenge (or time has run out) telling you that
the winner is official. The Finale video will then be uploaded within a
few weeks revealing the winner to everyone.
You shouldn't have
any questions, but if you do, ask them. I will answer if it is something
I am able to answer. (BTW, I would tell if you if I was unable to
answer your question, and not just give you no response. So if I am not
responding, I am simply busy and just haven't checked my Youtube yet.)
Sandile: Good luck! It has been honor being your host, and I look forward to creating the last video.
Toad: This has been a long, but fun ride. And it is almost complete! So get going!

TNU Finale: Round 4
Sandile: Round 3 is complete! Here are how the mushrooms were...
Pikachu:
Bright red, spotted mushroom. The spots are yellow. Normal eye expression. (Poison)
Purple mushroom, green spots. This one has no eyes, unlike usual Mario mushrooms. (Good)
Popo:
Green mushroom with black spots. The eyes on this one look angry. (Poison)
Dark red mushroom, no spots. Normal eye expression. (Good)
Toad: Both of you chose the good mushrooms! However...
Pikachu responded first. Therefore, he wins Round 3!
Sandile: Pikachu, if you win one more round, you win TNU! Popo, you are gonna have to win two straight if you don't want to take second place!
Toad: The next challenge is fairly simple. It has three factors. Speed will be a factor, but it isn't all that is necessary to win the challenge.
For the challenge, I want you to tell me your favorite video game of all time. (If you can't decide, then tell me what one of your favorites is). Tell me the title (obviously), what genre the game is, what system it is on, what the game is like, and why you love it so much. For the reason why you love it, give me at least three or four sentences. (Tell me what about the game you love, or a memory you have playing the game, etc.)
Sandile: Here is your rubric:
Game title: 1 point
Game genre(s): 1 point
Game System(s) it is on: 1 point (You don't have to mention remakes. Just tell me what system(s) the original was on.)
Game description: 3 points
Why do you love the game so much?: 5 points
Spelling/Grammar: 2 points
Speed: 2 points (The first to complete it gets 2 points. The second person will either get 1 or 0 depending on how long it takes them).
The first three are easy points. Get everything right, and you will get full credit. The last four are the most important.
For the game description: tell me what the game is like. Is it a short retro sidescroller with catchy music? Or is it an open-world fantasy game? Just give me a sentence or two in this category.
Why you love the game so much is the most important part. This is where I will be the most strict. A response saying, "I liked the story and graphics." will get a low score. Several sentences on why you love it so much and any nostalgia you feel is what I'm looking for. You will get a good score if I can really tell how much you love the game from your response.
Keep your spelling/grammar as good as you can. If it is readable and nearly everything is spelled correctly, you will get full-credit. (Especially make sure the game's title is spelled right!)
Speed is also fairly important. Even if you don't respond first, try to respond within the first couple of days of me sending it out to get at least a 1.
Sandile: It is a 15-point scale, so the person with the most points will win! If you both tie, the person who I think did a better job in the "Why I love the game so much" category will be the player who wins.
Toad: This could potentially be the final challenge, so good luck! Put all of your effort into this! You are both great players, so I expect this to be close!
Sandile: I was very happy that both of you participated last challenge. I wanted this to be an exciting finale, and it looks as if that is how it is going to be!
Toad: Please give confessionals! Since this could be it, I want one final confessional from the both of you!
Sandile: Good luck! Like always, if you have any questions, ask away! :D
Pikachu:
Bright red, spotted mushroom. The spots are yellow. Normal eye expression. (Poison)
Purple mushroom, green spots. This one has no eyes, unlike usual Mario mushrooms. (Good)
Popo:

TNU Finale: Round 3
Sandile: Round 2 is complete! A lot of extra
time was given, so I will not be giving any more time to you Popo. I
understand you are busy, but I cannot give you unlimited time, or else
this finale will last forever.
Toad: This round disappointed me. Pikachu did a good job with a well-written story that was a good read. Sadly, Popo never did the challenge. I originally wanted to end the challenge early this week, but gave more time to Popo since he was busy, and to Pikachu since I had left a question unanswered for several days.
Sandile: Pikachu's easy win has caused things to become tied!
Toad: I will make things a bit easier for you guys this time. Round 3 will be a luck challenge.
I present you each with two mushrooms. (They look similar to the ones in the Mario series.)
Pikachu:
Bright red, spotted mushroom. The spots are yellow. Normal eye expression.
Purple mushroom, green spots. This one has no eyes, unlike usual Mario mushrooms.
Popo:
Green mushroom with black spots. The eyes on this one look angry.
Dark red mushroom, no spots. Normal eye expression.
For each of you, one mushroom is good to eat, and the other is poisoned. If both of you eat a good mushroom, the first one to eat it wins the round. If both of you eat a poisoned mushroom, the last one to eat it wins the round. And obviously, if one of you eats a good mushroom and one eats a poison one, the person to eat a good mushroom wins.
Sandile: I wanted to give you guys a bit of a break after the first two challenges taking a bit of time. Popo, this is a good opportunity for you to maybe get back in the lead. You have been very busy, but this challenge should take you a minute, so you should be able to complete it right away. And Pikachu, if you have luck on your side, or if Popo misses this challenge as well, then you will be the one taking the lead.
Toad: I am interested in seeing how things turn out this round. I am hopeful that I see participation from the both of you. After all, I want this to be a fun finale! :D
