S1E2 - The Legend of VGAS

The Legend of VGAS is the second episode of the first season of Video Game All-Stars. The contestants proceed to their second challenge with their newly formed bonds among their teammates as Banjo brings them to a whole new world.

Plot
The episode begins as everyone meets up with Banjo, who tells them that their challenge will transpire in a Legend of Zelda theme of sorts. Banjo tells them their objective. They must, firstly, climb up a mountain where two Tri-force pieces are waiting for them, one for each team, and, secondly, battle Ganondorf in pursuit of the third missing piece. The contestants' strategies in climbing the mountain vary, with Eggman in particular using his Egg Mobile to fly up the mountain. Unfortunately for him, the battery dies and causes the mobile to crash land, nearly landing on Mugman in the process. Hiroko cheers on Team Squidbeak Splatoon in an attempt to pump up her teammates, advising them to be careful. Spyro in particular does really well in climbing up the mountain due to experience, and Lilac puts a locator on him, allowing her to jump to him later on. Mugman attempts to talk to Mario as he climbs, but is unable to do so. Eggman is the first to reach the top, followed closely by Mugman, Spyro, Lilac, Falco, Hiroko, and Mario. King K. Rool, Marisa, Gundham, and Rise all have trouble getting up the mountain, causing them to fall behind.

The seven who successfully scaled the mountain all fearfully enter the dungeon, anticipating their fight with Ganondorf. Team Eggman begins to pull ahead with Mario noticing a wave of enemies coming in their direction, allowing the remaining members of Team Squidbeak to join in on the fight. Spyro fights off a few with his flame breath, Falco and Lilac shoot the enemies, Mario jumps on a couple, and Hiroko destroys her opponents in hand to hand combat. After finishing off the enemies, a sword and a bow waits for the group. Eggman picks up the sword. The group descends to the basement in a treacherous staircase, in which Spyro falls down and Lilac, who retrieved the bow, worries about him. As they confront Ganondorf, the group continues with their regular attack patterns. Ganondorf tosses Mario against a wall and chokeslams Spyro, intimidating the others. After a fierce fight with bullets and weapons flying in every direction, Hiroko is able to deal the final blow in an extremely brutal attack. She ends up securing the win for Squidbeak Splatoon, meaning that Team Eggman would once again be up for elimination.

After the challenge, K. Rool decides to send a kremling to spy on Hiroko for the day. Team Eggman meets up in their cabin, Mario saying that they'd need to do better next time around, Mugman agreeing and Eggman threatening to kill Hiroko. Meanwhile, in the squids' cabin, Falco talks strategy with Hiroko and attempts to pull her onto his side to assist in eliminating Rise, and she agrees. Lilac is exhausted after the challenge and falls asleep early on, allowing Spyro to leave her a surprise snack for her when she woke up. Lilac thanks him for this and the four talk about their stories with the rest of the cast, specifically K. Rool and Eggman.

At the elimination ceremony, Banjo informs Team Eggman that the reward for being safe this time around is rupees. Mugman, Mario, and Eggman immediately get their rupees, racking up no votes. Between Marisa and K. Rool, in a 3-2 vote, K. Rool gets more votes and is thusly eliminated, with Marisa being extremely relieved. K. Rool leaves, swearing to the group that he would return and win.
