The Jazz Cats

Sights set on winning, the Jazz Cats join the jam! Shades is ready to cut the competition with his nasty bebop licks. Milk Bowl is preparing the dirtiest chord you’ve ever heard. And sphelonious donk. These three felines will whip out any tune in the Real Book just to taste the catnip of victory.

Nintendo Power

No one’s body is ready for the true might of Nintendo Power! After Reggie retired, Miyamoto decided Reggie needed a boost from inside the company, and Bill Trinen is the perfect match.

Pitbull and the Aliens

Mr. Worldwide is back, and this time, he’s got dancers to back him up! YEEEEOOOOO! Pitbull, Popoy, and Marcianito have overcome both controversy and heartbreak in order to make their return to this tournament, and they hope that their newfound alliance will bring the adoring masses the Hispanic flavor they don’t know they need. There will be two li’l aliens and Mr. 305 checking in for this remix. Dale!

Thanos

With the newfound power of Disney behind him, Thanos re-enters the fight! After the previous tournament upset the balance of the universe, this Deviant once again seeks to restore it. Gauntlet on his fist and mouse cap on his head, the Mad Titan is prepared to win the tournament, and, of course, celebrate by going to Disneyland with those sweet half-length lines — there is only a 1 in 14,000,605 chance that he won’t!

“Weird Al” Yankovic

After his first-round loss in the last tournament, “Weird Al” Yankovic has returned for seconds! His burning desire for victory has manifested into a stand called 「BEAT IT」, which allows him to use the musical powers of the King of Pop himself in battle — hopefully, he’ll be the king of this tournament, too!

Dr. Piccolo

Dedicated to his cause, this Namekian medical genius has stepped up to spread his miracle cure across the globe. He won’t stop until he’s brought about the change he wants to see in the world — and as a side effect, his efforts will be bringing the power of anime to the entire tournament audience. Thanks, Doc!
