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
