S1E13 - A Smashing Finale!

A Smashing Finale! is the finale of the first season of Video Game All-Stars. The final two face one final challenge and get to choose some of their eliminated allies to bring along for the journey.

Plot
The previously eliminated contestants who were welcomed back in episode 12 stay on the island with Falco and Lilac, the finalists. After having a week or so to relax, the day of the finale finally arrives, and everyone's excited. Banjo starts off by telling the finalists that they'd need to pick two helpers for the challenge. Lilac is quick to make this decision, immediately choosing Rise and Hiroko, whereas Falco requires more time to think about the decision due to being less connected to the cast. He obviously chooses Spyro, and ends up choosing Dr. Eggman as his second choice, aware that it might've not been the best decision. Banjo tells the contestants that they'd have to work together to take out a wave of Smash fighters. After they finished, it'd be a race to the finish line from there.

Rise gathers her teammates and strategizes with them, planning to use a speed boost on them in the fight. The challenge starts off with a wave of Yoshis running over to trample the final two, which they manage to dodge. The contestants work in different ways, all fighting different opponents. Falco is able to activate his arwing due to a Smash Ball, taking out quite a few enemies, and Lilac uses her final smash to get a few KOs as well.

To make matters worse, Banjo summons Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Lilac's team manages to get a lot of damage on Master Hand, while Falco's team handles Crazy Hand. Crazy Hand is taken down first, and Falco tries to get a head start on the second part of the challenge. However, this doesn't work out, as Master Hand notices him and throws him across the arena, critically injuring him. After defeating Master Hand, Lilac starts running to the finish line, using Rise's speed boost as well as her squid form. Falco, on the other hand, jumps into a car from the Mario Kart challenge and drives there. In a close race to the finish, with Falco approaching by every second, the crowd cheers for the two finalists. Falco jumps out of his car and lunges towards the finish line, but his efforts prove futile as Lilac manages to cross the finish line before him, winning the season.

Lilac expresses her happiness and cries tears of joy, and her teammates come over to celebrate with her. Falco gets up and dusts himself off, a little upset, but happy for Lilac nonetheless. The police come by and arrest Banjo for everything he'd done over the season, which Falco says is worth more than a million dollars to see. Spyro tackles Lilac and congratulates her on the win, and Falco comes by to congratulate her as well, to which Lilac responds with giving him 500K for putting up a good fight as she doesn't plan on using all the money.

Rise exchanges phone numbers with Lilac, Falco, Hiroko, and Spyro. Seeing himself being excluded, Eggman is the first to leave, riding off on a bicycle (with wings). Lilac super-jumps with Rise and Hiroko to get them home to their respective locations. Spyro prepares to leave, but not before turning to Lilac and Falco and thanking them. Mario manages to leave via pipe, and Falco is picked up by Fox via Arwing.
