Alright, I will let Pop's moveset be the moveset for the three wombats so congrats to him! I love their gimmick idea as how it will affect them in battle! Now, onto the next two jobs.

Job 239:

Write a Learning Book set for Malik, Zadie and Zeke.

Job 240:

Submit a DLC story mode chapter focused on Malik, Zadie and Zeke. Like the chapters we have done for the two bonus fighters and Bob the Builder, the chapter can take place somewhere during the Story Mode or even in the neon gaming city at the end of the Story Mode. Get writing and submitting. As always, use your imagination and get submitting!

Learning Book Set for Malik, Zadie and Zeke:


  • Tier 1 (Takes up 1 slot)
    • Faster Punches (The Wombats' Light Neutral will come out faster)
    • Super Wombat Uppercut! (The Wombats' Light Up will deal more damage.)
    • Super Wombat Toss (For their Neutral Special, the wombat being tossed will go a farther distance.)
    • Super Wombat Roundhouse Kick! (The Wombats' Light Down will deal more damage!)
  • Tier 2 (Takes up 2 slots)
    • Wombats, Come Back! (Now, when a Wombat Follower gets KOd, the wombat will spawn right back after getting KOd!)
    • Good Job Working it Out! (Now, Malik, Zadie and Zeke gain a stat buff to assist them!)
    • Super Wombat Launch! (For the wombats' Up Special, they all get launched a farther distance!)
  • Tier 3 (Takes up 3 slots)
    • Further Launching! (The Wombats can perform their Up Special twice in midair!)
    • Strongest Wombat Punching (For their Light Neutral, the Wombats will give more damage to their opponents!)
  • Tier 4 (Takes up 4 slots)
    • Invincibility But Worked Out! (Now, the wombats have gained super invincibility for a few seconds as well as super stat buffs!)

DLC Story Mode Chapter for Malik, Zadie and Zeke:

A New Beginning to Work It Out

This chapter takes place after the inital Story Mode and in a part of the Neon Gaming City at the end...somewhere outside of it. This is to show that the wombats were not PBS Kids characters until recent and we finished the story mode in 2022, a few months before Work It Out Wombats! premiered.


We start out the chapter with a view of the city until we zoom out of the city where we see some sort of...animal-like neighborhood. Think similar to an Animal-Crossing esque setting. We see the Kratt Brothers taking care of various animals such as the Berenstain Bears family, Aristotle, Cheeko, Donkey, etc. Then, we zoom into a house where we see three wombats. We see a cinematic similar to the Work It Out Wombats! intro.

We then see Malik read a title card where we see the three wombats dancing. He says:

Malik: A New Beginning to Work It Out

Basically, this is just a Work It Out Wombats! episode in PBS Kids: Brawltime!

We start with the three wombats sleeping until the sun shines on them waking them up similar to the beginning of the episode Snout and About.

Malik: Morning Zadie! Morning Zeke!

Zadie and Zeke: Morning Malik!

Malik: It's time for breakfast! We have a fun day ahead!

Zadie and Zeke come along and follow Malik with Zeke grabbing Snout. We see them head to the kitchen and eat some breakfast. Then, we see them step out and we see some form of an animal sanctuary.

Zadie: I think we should go and visit Mr. E in his new Everything Emporium!

Zeke: Yeah! Good idea!

Malik: Alright wombats! Let's go!

After the cutscene, you play as Malik, Zadie and Zeke going through a platforming section that tours the Animal Sanctuary and Animal Area. Watch out for mean animals as they are the hazards.

After the platforming section:

We see the three wombats head inside the new Mr. E's Everything Emporium. Mr. E is currently organizing everything...

Mr. E: Hello there, you three! Look around! I got some new items from the City and....something special!

Malik: Ooooh, what is it?

Mr. E: I first have to find it.

Mr. E climbs his ladder and then finds some form of a book about animals.

Mr. E: This animal book of all the animals here in this animal sanctuary!

Zadie: Wow! That is amazing!

The three wombats then look at the book.

Zeke: Hey! There's us!

Zeke points to a picture of the three wombats together in the book.

We then go outside of the Emporium to see Chris and Martin taking care of more of the animals.

Chris: So...those three new wombats. They are definitely interesting, aren't they?

Martin: For sure, Chris! And they are very nice too!

We also see Cheeko flying around and stopping at Mr. E's Everything Emporium to see the Wombats. Cheeko then stops to see them.

Cheeko: You three are some new EekoCreatures I have not seen before! What are your names?

Malik: I'm Malik!

Zadie: I'm Zadie!

Zeke: And I'm Zeke!

Cheeko: Well, nice to meet you three! I'm Cheeko!

We see the four of them talking until we zoom out of the Sanctuary to see....a certain man in black clothing scheming something evil...

Just as we zoom back to the Kratt Brothers giving Donkey some straw to eat after the three tots dropped him off...we see him sneak into the Sanctuary with some new machine of some form. And then....KABOOM!

The animals are all in fear!

Chris: Uh oh! Sounds like trouble!

Martin: We better see what that is!

The three wombats witness the trouble.

Malik: We better get going wombats!

Mr. E: I'm coming too!

We then see Zach Varmitech and his robotic animal clones of various PBS Kids animal characters appear to disturb the peace of the Animal Sanctuary. The three wombats then notice this.

Zadie: Yikes! This looks no good!

Zeke: So um....who's gonna fight them?

Malik: We're all gonna have too.

Mr. E then comes aside.

Mr. E: Now now, you are going to need help.

Chris and Martin: Wait for us!

The three wombats, Kratt Bros and Mr. E ready for battle.

After the cutscene, you can choose between Malik, Zadie and Zeke or Chris and Martin to battle a hoarde of robot animal fighters themed after various fighters based off of animals in PBS Kids: Brawltime! Mr. E will also be your assist during the fight and you will have to defeat 20 of these fighters.

After the battle:

We notice that Mr. E's book of animals is now gone.

Mr. E: My new animal book!!!

Zach Varmitech evily laughs.

Zach Varmitech: With this book, I can destroy the ecosystem for good!!!

We see Cheeko, Donkey and the other animal characters enraged as Zach Varmitech tries to make a run for it.

Martin: We'll have to get him....quick!

Chris: And fast!

Donkey: Hee haw!

Everyone nods.

Malik: Alright wombats, we'll have to make a plan on the fly!

Mr. E: I'll be of assistance as well!

After the cutscene, you can choose between Malik, Zadie and Zeke, Chris and Martin, Cheeko or Donkey and traverse through a platforming section with Mr. E assisting you. You will also battle Zach Varmitech's robot clones as well and fight them.

After the platforming section:

The party then reaches Zach Varmitech.

Zach Varmitech: Arrghhhhhh!

Malik: Woah....he's not looking too happy.

Chris: Give Mr. E back his book!

Martin: You will not destroy our sanctuary! These animals need a place to live in!

Zach Varmitech evily laughs.

Zach Varmitech: If you insist....but I'm planning on using this book to create more evil inventions to profit me for good!

Suddenly, we see a super giant robot Zach made based off of the Everything Emporium.

Mr. E: And he....made a robot based off of MY Emporium? That will never do!

Malik: Alright wombats! Plan is...to just fight...

Zadie and Zeke: And win!

Chris and Martin: Right behind you!

Everyone readies for battle.

After the cutscene, you can choose the order you play as Malik, Zadie and Zeke, Chris and Martin, Cheeko or Donkey as you get four stocks technically to complete the Zach Varmitech's Emporium Robo boss fight. Mr. E will be your assist yet again so use him to help you out! You have to aim for the main body piece in order to give him damage. Alongside this, his robot minions will appear and try to attack you giving you more trouble.

After the boss fight:

The robot then malfunctions after being defeated and we see Zach Varmitech fly away!

Zach: This won't be the end of me!!!!

Everyone cheers as Mr. E got his book back.

Chris: Well, we were able to write that wrong.

Martin: Luckilly, nothing really got destroyed, but we will all have to pitch in and fix some parts of the sanctuary together!

Malik: So....who wants to help out with fixing up our sanctuary?

Zadie: Well...I'd rather play and...

Malik: We need to be a team.

Zeke: Yeah! A team!

Malik: Alright, plan is, we'll all fix up the new Everything Emporium and then...

We hear the mumbles of Malik's talking as we zoom out and then get a montage with a remixed version of the Work It Out Wombats credits theme playing where all the animals and the Kratt Brothers work together to fix up the Sanctuary. We then see Mr. E dusting off his Everything Emporium and life going back to normal. Finally, as the remixed credits theme is about to end, we see a picture being taken of the Kratt Brothers with the three wombats and all their animal friends in the Sanctuary posing together for a photo to be added to Mr. E's animal photo collection book which it is revealed to be added into at the end of the montage as the screen then fades to black.

End of Chapter

I know this is not my best writing but I felt I would change things up a bit as I felt an Animal Crossing-esque setting would be perfect for the three wombats. Also, the ability to use an assist for a Story Mode chapter had not been done before so a DLC chapter felt like the perfect chance to do so. I am willing to hear other's Chapter ideas though for Malik, Zadie and Zeke!

Alright, so........I WAS going to write a story mode chapter for the wombat siblings, but I will admit, I am busy writing things for other clients, so I lack the energy to actually do so here at the moment, BUT....what I can say is that for my version of Malik, Zadie and Zeke's story mode chapter was to take place during the events of the main story mode, when the Anomaly was still attacking the lands. The whole plot of this story mode chapter is basically that the wombat siblings have to protect each other as siblings while avoiding falling prey to the Anomaly, which is actually a plotline I recycled from my story mode chapter idea for Rosie Fuentes (Had she had gotten in as playable, but I'm still satisfied with how things currently are), where she must protect her little brother, Iggy, from falling into the clutches of the Anomaly. Where the story mode chapter takes place in exactly? I have none in mind, but it does last from beginning to end tho.

So even though I might not had the energy to write a story mode chapter, I will however probably have something for Malik, Zadie and Zeke's reveal trailer, I have something fun in mind for them.

Alright, my Learning Book set and DLC chapter for Malik, Zadie and Zeke got in by default although I do love the idea Pop had for the three wombats regarding a Story Mode chapter for them. I cannot wait to hear his reveal trailer idea for the trio though when we get to it! Now, onto the next job!

Job 241:

Submit four DLC event match ideas to come with the update for Malik, Zadie and Zeke. Similar to the past three DLC fighters in a way, I feel one of the events should focus around the wombats themselves. I was thinking we should have one of the event matches be based around the City Island stage. The final two can be based around the new assist Rosie Fuentes and either the Tibble Super Action Challenge stage or the other content that comes with the wombats (the Traffic Light assist, the Berby item, etc.). That's just me but you can do event matches based on the new content that comes with Malik, Zadie and Zeke. It does not have to be the same thought process I have but just focus the event matches on the new content that comes with the update. Regardless, get submitting and use your imagination!


Event #Extra01: Zadie's Shell Shuffle
Event description:
Oh no! It looks like Zadie messed up Mr. E's shell garden! Apparently, the wombats' friend JunJun taught them a song but on a new instrument to fix the problem. Help them fix up the shell garden before disaster ensues!
Player: Malik, Zadie and Zeke (Zadie as the leader)
Ally: Big Bird (representing JunJun)
Assist: Mr. E
Stage: Treeborhood
Opponent(s): 3 Random Opponents for Every Playthrough
Event objective: As Malik, Zadie and Zeke, you need to protect the shells from the opponents. You can KO them but they will not fully dissapear unless you KO them with the Acoustic Guitar item. If you get KOd or the shells get destroyed, you fail the event.
References: The Work It Out Wombats episode Zadie's Shell Shuffle as well as the book/upcoming PBS Kids show based on the book of the same name Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band since JunJun is an avian creature with music abilities like Acoustic Rooster.

Event #Extra02: Anomaly Invasion at City Island
Event description:
It seems the good neighborhood of City Island is in danger as the Anomaly have chosen to invade there! This is a problem that has never been seen before. Luckilly, Watt knows how to solve the solution so it's best to let him take charge.
Player: Choice
Stage: City Island
Opponent(s): Anomaly-Enslaved Opponents x30
Event objective: It's a no-frills Multi-Anomaly Mayhem battle! Although, Watt will appear on the side thinking of an item that spawns on the stage that you can KO the Anomaly with. Use the item Watt is thinking of that will appear in a thought bubble next to him and use it. Use the wrong item/KO one by accident and you get a strike, you fail the event! 3 strikes and your out!
References: No specific City Island reference in particular, just how Watt is able to solve problems in the webshow and such.

Event #Extra03: Rosie's New Nature Adventure
Event description:
Rosie is going on some sort of nature adventure but...it's not where she was expecting. It's in some sort of strange world and Lote is missing! Help Rosie solve this problem and not get lost in this new nature world as these nature dwellers are not playing nice when Rosie asks for Lote back for her brother.
Player: Choice
Assist: Rosie Fuentes
Stage: Ecosystem Tour
Opponent(s): 3 random opponents (5 random opponents for harder difficulties)
Event objective: In this event match, you need to KO the opponent that has Lote hiding in their back throughout each part of the Ecosystems Tour within the four habitats of the stage. The opponent that has Lote will glow briefly so pay attention! You must KO that opponent with Rosie's assist meter being full. Rosie can help you search for the opponent with Lote. However, if you get KOd or mess up three times, you fail the event.
References: The Rosie's Rules episode Rosie's Nature Adventure as well as just Plum Landing being a PBS Kids webseries about nature/the ecosystem.

Event #Extra04: The Tibble Super Action Challenge Showdown!
Event description:
It's the ultimate celebration of Arthur! Test your knowledge regarding Arthur and his friends in this no-thrills, super action-packed trivia challenge! Prove yourself to be the ultimate Arthur fan!
Player: Arthur
Assist: The Brain
Ally: Buster
Stage: The Tibble Super Action Challenge
Opponent(s): WordGirl and Ruff Ruffman (representing Francine and Binky)
Opponent(s)' Asssists: Anne Shirley (for WordGir, Anne represents Muffyl) and Mr. Ratburn (for Ruff Ruffman)
Event objective: You must answer 10 Arthur-related trivia questions at the bottom of the stage (20 on harder difficulties) without being KOd. You can KO the opponents but they will respawn. If you get a question wrong, there is no penalty. However, get KOd trying and you fail the event so stay on your toes.
References: The Arthur website game The Tibble Super Action Challenge as well as just an overall celebration of the Arthur franchise.

And, an alternate extra event that I thought was too funny that I must include.

Event Extra#04 Alt: When To Stop and When To Go?
Event description:
These are things you have to know!
Player: Mr. Rogers
Assist: Traffic Light
Stage: The Island of Sodor
Opponent(s): Barney (in train conductor alternate costume), Ms. Frizzle, Digit, WordGirl, Lionel, Xavier Riddle and Bob the Builder
Opponent(s)' Asssist(s): Sir Topham Hatt (for Barney)
Event Objective: It's a no-frills battle testing your knowledge of stopping and going! You must KO your opponents when the assist meter is full for the Traffic Light. Burby spawns often as an item as well. KO the opponents any other way, they will respwan. If you get KOd, you fail the event.
References: The Thomas and Friends sing-along song from Season 10, Navigation which is a HiT era song (when Thomas aired on PBS Kids). Mr. Rogers being the playable character as well as the Island of Sodor being a stage is a reference to the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood episode Episode 1531 where he got to ride in a real trolley (which is basically similar to a train). The opponents are all affiliated with one of the ways of transport mentioned in the song Navigation. Barney has two moves with vehicles (a train and plane), Ms. Frizzle goes by road and/or by air with the Magic School Bus, Digit can fly by himself or on his ship, WordGirl and Xavier Riddle have flight powers to go places, Lionel has his Up Special as the Cliff Hanger helicopter (a slight reference to Harold the Helicopter as well) and Bob the Builder goes by road with his construction vehicles. Sir Topham Hatt being Barney's assist is in reference as to how you are fighting on the Island of Sodor stage as well as him being the controller of the North Western Railway.

Ok, I know I maybe late on my response to this (due to my life's been pretty hectic for me recently, scheduling conflicts, a power outage in my area and going to other events), but I'm totally ok with AlteredBeast AlteredBeast 's event submissions, they all fit the bill perfectly for me.

Even if AlteredBeast AlteredBeast may submit a reveal trailer for the wombat siblings, I still have a fun reveal trailer in mind for them.

Alright, my first three events will be added for the Malik, Zadie and Zeke update by default. Also, for PopCultureCorn PopCultureCorn it is totally okay and I understand that life gets in the way of things. I hope all is well with you.

Moving along with the events, I need help deciding on the fourth event that will come with them since I had two ideas. Please vote on the Strawpoll below after reading each event description in the quoting post.

Fourth Event Match Poll

Job 242:

Submit episodes to be added to the PBS Kids Archives for the Malik, Zadie and Zeke update. I feel we'll add one episode from Work It Out Wombats!, one from City Island, one from Rosie's Rules, one from Plum Landing and one bonus episode for a series represented in the game. We will have to figure out how to deal with any sort of PBS Kids Archives for Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band since that has no production material yet released. If you have an idea, please let me know as I have one.

Job 243:

Submit 4 PBS Kids Website games and 2 video games based on PBS Kids shows that should be added to the Archives for this update. The top 4 video games and the top 2 video games after voting will be added to the Archives!


Get submitting and use your imagination!

PBS Kids Archives Episodes:

Work It Out Wombats:

Zadie's Shell Shuffle


This episode is referenced in the event match, has Mr. E as a character in the episode play a prominent role and is just a fun episode.

City Island:

As a special treat, all the episodes!


The episodes are short so why not have the whole web series? It's cute regardless. Also, it's a first for the Archives to include a whole show's catalog of episodes.

Rosie's Rules:

Rosie's Nature Adventure


It's referenced in Rosie's event match so why not showcase the source material here like the episodes I added from Work It Out Wombats!

Plum Landing:

The Lost Lake


Any episode works but the premise of this one looked like fun. Maybe we can add another episode since I think Plum Landing's episodes are a little short.

Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band:

I was thinking this series will get some form of an interactive read-aloud of the book with interactive elements, may be hinting at a future edutainment product brand getting Brawltime! content soon. It will be read as is:

Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band (like this)

Also, I feel there can be some production promo photos added to the Archives as well as to the Photo Album (similar to how there were Animal Crossing and Cubivore trophies in Super Smash Bros Melee before they launched in North America)

Bonus Episode:

Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks:

The Salmon of Knowledge


We have an item of the Salmon in the episode that was added last update so why not add a bonus episode from this underrated PBS Kids gem?

Website Games and Video Games:

Arthur: The Tibble Super Action Challenge

Unknown.png


We have a stage based off this game so why don't we add the original game?

Resubmitting Wild Kratts: Baby Animal Rescue


maxresdefault.jpg



I never really grew up with Wild Kratts...but I am currently student teaching at a school where some of my students LOVE playing on the Wild Kratts website on the pbskids.org website so thought I would include a game from there. They seem really fun and cool for sure.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: Stoplight Game

MrRogersFastSlowLight.JPG


We have an assist based on the Traffic Light so why not bring back this game based on the assist? It could be fun for the younger players to play again to practice self-control.

Work It Out Wombats!: Step It Out

Unknown.jpeg


A game for our newest fighters! It seems like a really cute game for the young ones to learn about sequencing.

Video Games:

Resubmitting Sesame Street: Art Workshop and Cyberchase: Carnival Chaos


1560446654-15680-192.jpg



617Z2QPX3VL.jpg



A Sesame Street game needs to be added due to it being...well, the most well-known PBS Kids show and why don't we let it be an art game? Also, Carnival Chaos is referenced in the game as the last update, we got a stage based off of the game and the Ski Balls as items.

Alright, so enough time has passed and Pop didn't get notified about the new jobs so my episodes and content for the PBS Kids Archives have been added in automatically. Also, the fourth event will be When To Stop and When To Go? per a self-vote from me. Now, onward to our next two jobs having to do with Legacy Skins and a reveal trailer.

Job 244:

Time for the second round of Legacy Skins! Submit up to 3 skin ideas based on majors or other ideas, including edutainment companies, story mode references, etc. Basically, these are references outside of PBS Kids shows for the characters in the game to receive skins based off of things not from their shows. The top 3 ideas will be added to Malik, Zadie and Zeke's pack.

The character you can NOT submit Legacy Skins for are:


  • Arthur
  • The Kratt Bros
  • Lionel
  • Teletubbies
  • Molly Mabray
  • Ord
  • Bob the Builder
These seven characters already have Legacy Skins so I feel we should give other characters Legacy Skins.

Side Job:

Submit a reveal trailer script for Malik, Zaide and Zeke. These characters can be revealed in a PBS Kids: Brawltime! presentation or even at another gaming event.

Get submitting and use your imagination!


Legacy Skins:

Resubmitting Big Bird in Let's Make Big Moves T-Shirt and Black Hat that says "GAMEING" on it


big-bird-portrait_0.jpg


let-s-make-big-moves-shirt-youth-tee.jpg



Honoring another more recent Smash Ultimate major that occurs in New York City (as well as now in Miami), Big Bird is sporting the Let's Make Big Moves drip. Given Sesame Street takes place in New York City, why not have Big Bird represent a big major from his home city? Plus, Max Ketchum (the TO of the tournament) would so support this game like he did for Nick All Star Brawl, Flash Party and other platfighters. Gameing is a reference to how Max spells gaming if anyone is wondering. I have been to a Let's Make Big Moves way back in January 2020, super hype event. So, a perfect way to honor the event.

Elmo in VSmile-esque Graphics (32-Bit Elmo)

sddefault.jpg


Since we have some VSmile content in the game already, we might as well add a Legacy Skin based on a character who got a game on the VSmile. Elmo will appear as he does in the VSMile game, Elmo's World: Elmo's Big Discoveries. All his attacks are in the 32-bit style, no properties to the attacks changed, just the graphics.

Digit in Robotic Gaming Suit

Unknown-1.png
a00c1a88cc9b0eedc1b1894e08fae1ea--combat-suit-ds-max.jpg


Based on the epilogue of the story mode, Digit is seen dressed up and ready to game in a robotic gaming suit. Nothing too flashy, just his attacks have more flashy-ish aesthetics to reflect his gaming suit.


Trailer for Malik, Zadie and Zeke:

When In Doubt, Work It Out!


We start off with a montage of all the characters revealed fighting on the stages and what with then the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo appearing with all the base game characters plus the two free bonus characters and Bob the Builder.

We then see the logo slowly fade away onto a TV where we see the office of two familar animal loving brothers but....they are in the style of Animal Crossing-esque Villagers. Then, we zoom out to the Animal Sanctuary seen in the Story Mode in the new city.

However, as we see the place, we then see Announcer Bunny appear in the Animal Crossing-esque style about to make an announcement with the Animal Crossing speech bubble down by him.

Announcer Bunny: AAAAAAAA-Nouncer Bunny here to tell you all, we have some new visitors arriving as latecomers to the Brawltime Party! Chris and Martin, make them feel welcome! Thank youuuuuu!

Announcer Bunny pops back in his hat while Chris, Martin and Zaboo in their Animal Crossing-esque appearance get prepared. Each of their talks is heard with voice acting but with the Animal Crossing speech bubbles. Same with the other characters in the trailer.

Chris: I wonder who these new guests are?

Martin: Any animal really? We did meet those Teletubbies a while ago. Maybe, it's something more surprising.

Zaboo: Well, I can tell you a few things about these new fellas you two. They are similar to the Tubbies but...they can be a handful.

Chris laughs.

Chris: I guess we're in for a big surprise!

We see the brothers interact with the various animals around the Sanctuary.

Martin: Morning, Donkey!


Donkey: makes Donkey noises

Cheeko is then seen flying around

Chris: Oh, hey Cheeko! Are you making more of your creatures?

Cheeko: As always, Chris!

Then, as we see them keeping on doing their tasks, we get a look at three colored animals.

Zaboo then comes up to them.

Zaboo: Hey, you two! The guests have arrived right now!

Martin: Oh good! Let's go see them!

The Kratt Bros decide to head over to the entrance of the Animal Sanctuary.

Chris: Hello there! Who are you three creatures?

A blue wombat speaks.

Malik: Why, hello there! I'm Malik and these are my siblings, Zadie and Zeke!

Zadie and Zeke: Hi!

Martin: Oh wow, what animals are you guys?

Malik, Zadie and Zeke: We're wombats!

Malik: And we love having fun!

Chris: Nice to meet you three! So...are you invited to this Brawltime Party we're in?

Zadie shows Malik the invite.

Zadie: Big brother, I think he means this invite that green boy gave us...

Malik then holds up the invite.

Malik: You bet...and we're ready to work things out!

We cut to the introduction screen with the three wombats making a pose.

Introducing Malik, Zadie and Zeke! (Malik, Zadie and Zeke stand next to the text which is in the PBS Kids font while Announcer Bunny says "Malik, Zadie and Zeke!")

It then cuts to gameplay footage of Malik, Zadie and Zeke fighting against various fighters. First, we see them fight against the Kratt Bros on the Animal Junction stage. In the background, we hear a remix of the Work It Out Wombats! theme.

Malik: Alright wombats, let's make a plan to win at this Brawltime Party!

We see various footage of their moveset as well as a brief look at their gimmick with Zeke being KOd by Cheeko on the EekoHouse stage!

Zadie: Oh no, Zeke!

Malik: Don't worry, sis! Zeke will be back in no time!

We see Zeke respawn in a few seconds.

Then, we cut to footage of their stage, Treeborhood revealed to be a competitively legal stage where they fight against Big Bird, Donkey and Lionel.

Zeke: This is our home!

Zadie: It's a lovely tree, isn't it?

We then see Mr. E appear ready to assist the three wombats.

Mr. E: It seems like you three need a little assistance!

Malik: Mr. E is our friend!

Zadie: He has an Everything Emporium!

We see footage of the Mr. E assist in action on the Treeborhood stage. Then, we go to the ZOOM stage where we see the wombats pick up the Grandma's Super Cornbread item by the ZOOM oven item.

Zeke: Our favorite food, cornbread!

All three wombats: Yummy!

We then go to the character select screen to showcase that you can make Malik, Zadie or Zeke the leader!

Malik: We can take turns being the leader in these games!

We see Zadie being chosen as the leader on the Character Select Screen and her being the leader in gameplay footage.

Zadie: Absolutely! Us wombats sure can work things out!

We then see other footage including:

  • A preview of the Event Match minus the Acoustic Rooster's Guitar item appearing
  • Them posing with the Kratt Brothers
  • Them in the Julia Child area of the Secret Museum stage pretending to make their grandma's Super Cornbread recipe
  • We even see footage of their Story Mode chapter but only the beginning but not to give too many spoilers away.
Finally, as we hear the credits theme play in the background, we cut back to footage of the Kratt Bros with the wombats.

Kratt Bros and Zaboo: Welcome, our new animal friends!

The three wombats: Yayyy!!!!

All the friends hug and cheer.

However, in the distance, we see a familar looking villain with a robot in the back saying

Zach Varmitech's voice: Hmmmm, new animals, more profit for me! You will not win, Kratt Brothers!

The music stops abruptly as we hear the familiar man.

We then see Malik, Zadie and Zeke added to the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo with all the base roster characters, the two free bonus characters and Bob the Builder by it.

It cuts to copyrights and all.

Announcer Bunny: It looks like the newest additions to the PBS Kids family, Malik, Zadie and Zeke from Work It Out Wombats! join PBS Kids: Brawltime as the second Learner's Pass Volume 1 fighters! You can watch Work It Out Wombats! on PBS Kids now! Their Meet the Fighters video will come out after this presentation as well as the update containing them will be coming out right after this presentation as well!!!

The presentation continues.

This trailer introduces:

  • Malik, Zadie and Zeke as fighters with the Leader and Followers Gimmick
  • Treeborhood as their home stage
  • Mr. E as an assist and his function
  • Grandma's Super Cornbread item
  • A look at the event match Zadie's Shell Shuffle
  • A preview of their Story Mode chapter
  • A hint of Zach Varmitech being the Story Mode Chapter's villain

I was going to do the Animal Crossing-esque trailer for another animal character who has been submitted as an assist before but I feel it's too perfect for the wombat siblings. Their aesthetic fits the Animal Crossing-esque theme. I'm willing to hear other people's ideas as I feel this was not my best trailer as I am unfamiliar with Work It Out Wombats! as well as the show being fairly recent. Regardless, hope you all enjoy and that you all submit something for a trailer!

My Legacy Skins:

Wordgirl: Shine Outfit

1675044271892.png

This special outfit gives Wordgirl a Shine-themed superhero suit that has various shades for the colors associated with Shine as well as the Shine logo on her torso. Certain attacks of hers also produce a flash of blue hexagon energy.

Xavier Riddle: Cybertronic suit

1675045221008.png

1675045225851.png

A post-story mode themed outfit, based on what he, Yadina and Brad wore in the neon-gaming-futuristic city when they stopped by the Teletubbies' food place to eat Tubby Ramon.

Apex Ruff Ruffman

Ruff gains special colors that includes green and red and he also gets an APEX themed headset! The APEX logo appears on his tummy too.


My trailer for Malik, Zadie and Zeke:

Wombat Quest III: Workin' it out!


We start off with a montage of all the characters revealed fighting on the stages and what with then the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo appearing with all the base game characters plus the two free bonus characters and Bob the Builder.

We then see Announcer Bunny appear next to an old CRT TV about to make an announcement with old RPG speech speech text by him.

Announcer Bunny: AAAAAAAA-Nouncer Bunny here to tell you all, we have some new visitors working their way as latecomers to the Brawltime Party! In order to see who they are, we have to boot up this game called...Wombat Quest III on the PKES (PBS Kids Education System)! Leeeeeeeeet's play this old baby, shall we?

Announcer Bunny pops the cartridge in the PKES and boots on the old system. The TV screen first shows a plain grassy area with flowers, which then cuts to a scene with the Kratt Bros, Zoboomafoo, Cheeko and Donkey next to a save crystal in a healing springs, as if the cart had a piece of saved game already. The 5 exit the room and into the next where it commences dialogue, which for the majority of the reveal trailer is done entirely with text boxes with no voice acting.

Chris: So tell me, brother? Who were we going to give that invitation we found after we defeated the Anomaly boss?

Martin: Hmmmmmm.........From what I can gather, it looks like we're meeting wombats! We've not seen a lot of those!

Zoboo: I heard they're a family of three! They're triplets! I bet they're like those tubby friends we met last time! Hooha!

Cheeko: You know, I've never really played with wombats before, so it'll be fun to meet some for the first time!

Donkey: makes Donkey noises

Chris: I wonder where they could be?

Martin: I'm wondering that too!

Zoboo: Yeah, Chris and Martin, where could they be?

Zoboo: sings Where could they be? These animals who I once see? Can you help guess this mystery?

Chris: Let's check our map shall we?

The map screen opens that shows a forest location with an exclamation bubble over it, marking that this is where they need to go. The 4 are placed over the area, which reads "Treeborhood", they enter there.

The 4 wonder around the area, walking on many tree branches, passing by many animal homes including Mr. E's shop. Finally, they stumbled across the home of the wombat siblings. Upon seeing them, the 5 approach them to talk with them

Blue wombat: Say, what brings you 5 nice guys here?

Chris: Hey little wombats, sorry to pardon your daily activities, but we're here to bring you three something special! I'm Chris, this is my bro MArtin and or friend Zaboo!

Cheeko: I'm Cheeko! Pleased to meet you!

Donkey: makes Donkey noises

Blue wombat: Well hi Chris, Martin, Zaboo and Cheeko! My name's Malik!

Purple wombat: I'm Zadie!

Yellow wombat: And I'm Zeke! And this here is Snout!

Malik: So what did you have for us?

Chris: Well, something special!

An inventory screen pops up that shows that Chris has 3 pieces of cornbread, a guitar and Birby for some reason, but the item being selected in Chris' inventory to give to the wombat siblings is an invitation!

Invitation description: A very special item from Dash. Give it to any character to instantly have them join your party!

Chris selects the invitation and hands it to the wombat siblings

Zadie: For.....Us?

Malik: Well it surel ooks like it! Come on, Zadie and Zeke, it's WORKIN' TIME!

malik-joined-your-party-zadie-j.gif


We cut to the introduction screen with the three wombats making a pose.

Introducing Malik, Zadie and Zeke! (Malik, Zadie and Zeke stand next to the text which is in the PBS Kids font while Announcer Bunny says "Malik, Zadie and Zeke!")

It then cuts to gameplay footage of the wombat siblings duking it out on various stages, showing off their leader-followers gimmick, as well as their stage, which is a competitively legal stage where they fight against Big Bird, Donkey and Lionel. It also showcases Mr. E an an assist, the cornbread item on the ZOOM stage, as well as the ability to choose which wombat gets to be the leader on the CSS. The wombat siblings also comment in voice acting about the things going on currently.

We then see Malik, Zadie and Zeke added to the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo with all the base roster characters, the two free bonus characters and Bob the Builder by it.

It cuts back to the RPG game where the now 8 character team are seen walking in a mysterious base where Zach Varmitech stands in the boss room as the area's main boss, but just when the fighters confront Zach, the whole game starts to glitch horribly before crashing!

Announcer Bunny: Uhhhhhhh, it looks like we have some technical difficulties, folks! It looks like the newest additions to the PBS Kids family, Malik, Zadie and Zeke from Work It Out Wombats! join PBS Kids: Brawltime as the second Learner's Pass Volume 1 fighters! You can watch Work It Out Wombats! on PBS Kids now! Their Meet the Fighters video will come out after this presentation as well as the update containing them will be coming out right after this presentation as well!!!

The presentation continues.

This trailer introduces:
  • Malik, Zadie and Zeke as fighters with the Leader and Followers Gimmick
  • Treeborhood as their home stage
  • Mr. E as an assist and his function
  • Grandma's Super Cornbread item
  • A look at the event match Zadie's Shell Shuffle
  • A preview of their Story Mode chapter
  • A hint of Zach Varmitech being the Story Mode Chapter's villain

So basically, the direction I was going for my Malik, Zadie and Zeke reveal trailer was a parody of all those old-school top-down RPGs, with their old-school graphics and simple presentations.

Alright, so enough time has passed and Pop didn't get notified about the new jobs so my episodes and content for the PBS Kids Archives have been added in automatically. Also, the fourth event will be When To Stop and When To Go? per a self-vote from me. Now, onward to our next two jobs having to do with Legacy Skins and a reveal trailer.

Job 244:

Time for the second round of Legacy Skins! Submit up to 3 skin ideas based on majors or other ideas, including edutainment companies, story mode references, etc. Basically, these are references outside of PBS Kids shows for the characters in the game to receive skins based off of things not from their shows. The top 3 ideas will be added to Malik, Zadie and Zeke's pack.

The character you can NOT submit Legacy Skins for are:


  • Arthur
  • The Kratt Bros
  • Lionel
  • Teletubbies
  • Molly Mabray
  • Ord
  • Bob the Builder
These seven characters already have Legacy Skins so I feel we should give other characters Legacy Skins.

Side Job:

Submit a reveal trailer script for Malik, Zaide and Zeke. These characters can be revealed in a PBS Kids: Brawltime! presentation or even at another gaming event.

Get submitting and use your imagination!


Legacy Skins:

Resubmitting Big Bird in Let's Make Big Moves T-Shirt and Black Hat that says "GAMEING" on it


big-bird-portrait_0.jpg


let-s-make-big-moves-shirt-youth-tee.jpg



Honoring another more recent Smash Ultimate major that occurs in New York City (as well as now in Miami), Big Bird is sporting the Let's Make Big Moves drip. Given Sesame Street takes place in New York City, why not have Big Bird represent a big major from his home city? Plus, Max Ketchum (the TO of the tournament) would so support this game like he did for Nick All Star Brawl, Flash Party and other platfighters. Gameing is a reference to how Max spells gaming if anyone is wondering. I have been to a Let's Make Big Moves way back in January 2020, super hype event. So, a perfect way to honor the event.

Elmo in VSmile-esque Graphics (32-Bit Elmo)

View attachment 369208


Since we have some VSmile content in the game already, we might as well add a Legacy Skin based on a character who got a game on the VSmile. Elmo will appear as he does in the VSMile game, Elmo's World: Elmo's Big Discoveries. All his attacks are in the 32-bit style, no properties to the attacks changed, just the graphics.

Digit in Robotic Gaming Suit

View attachment 369209View attachment 369210


Based on the epilogue of the story mode, Digit is seen dressed up and ready to game in a robotic gaming suit. Nothing too flashy, just his attacks have more flashy-ish aesthetics to reflect his gaming suit.


Trailer for Malik, Zadie and Zeke:

When In Doubt, Work It Out!


We start off with a montage of all the characters revealed fighting on the stages and what with then the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo appearing with all the base game characters plus the two free bonus characters and Bob the Builder.

We then see the logo slowly fade away onto a TV where we see the office of two familar animal loving brothers but....they are in the style of Animal Crossing-esque Villagers. Then, we zoom out to the Animal Sanctuary seen in the Story Mode in the new city.

However, as we see the place, we then see Announcer Bunny appear in the Animal Crossing-esque style about to make an announcement with the Animal Crossing speech bubble down by him.

Announcer Bunny: AAAAAAAA-Nouncer Bunny here to tell you all, we have some new visitors arriving as latecomers to the Brawltime Party! Chris and Martin, make them feel welcome! Thank youuuuuu!

Announcer Bunny pops back in his hat while Chris, Martin and Zaboo in their Animal Crossing-esque appearance get prepared. Each of their talks is heard with voice acting but with the Animal Crossing speech bubbles. Same with the other characters in the trailer.

Chris: I wonder who these new guests are?

Martin: Any animal really? We did meet those Teletubbies a while ago. Maybe, it's something more surprising.

Zaboo: Well, I can tell you a few things about these new fellas you two. They are similar to the Tubbies but...they can be a handful.

Chris laughs.

Chris: I guess we're in for a big surprise!

We see the brothers interact with the various animals around the Sanctuary.

Martin: Morning, Donkey!


Donkey: makes Donkey noises

Cheeko is then seen flying around

Chris: Oh, hey Cheeko! Are you making more of your creatures?

Cheeko: As always, Chris!

Then, as we see them keeping on doing their tasks, we get a look at three colored animals.

Zaboo then comes up to them.

Zaboo: Hey, you two! The guests have arrived right now!

Martin: Oh good! Let's go see them!

The Kratt Bros decide to head over to the entrance of the Animal Sanctuary.

Chris: Hello there! Who are you three creatures?

A blue wombat speaks.

Malik: Why, hello there! I'm Malik and these are my siblings, Zadie and Zeke!

Zadie and Zeke: Hi!

Martin: Oh wow, what animals are you guys?

Malik, Zadie and Zeke: We're wombats!

Malik: And we love having fun!

Chris: Nice to meet you three! So...are you invited to this Brawltime Party we're in?

Zadie shows Malik the invite.

Zadie: Big brother, I think he means this invite that green boy gave us...

Malik then holds up the invite.

Malik: You bet...and we're ready to work things out!

We cut to the introduction screen with the three wombats making a pose.

Introducing Malik, Zadie and Zeke! (Malik, Zadie and Zeke stand next to the text which is in the PBS Kids font while Announcer Bunny says "Malik, Zadie and Zeke!")

It then cuts to gameplay footage of Malik, Zadie and Zeke fighting against various fighters. First, we see them fight against the Kratt Bros on the Animal Junction stage. In the background, we hear a remix of the Work It Out Wombats! theme.

Malik: Alright wombats, let's make a plan to win at this Brawltime Party!

We see various footage of their moveset as well as a brief look at their gimmick with Zeke being KOd by Cheeko on the EekoHouse stage!

Zadie: Oh no, Zeke!

Malik: Don't worry, sis! Zeke will be back in no time!

We see Zeke respawn in a few seconds.

Then, we cut to footage of their stage, Treeborhood revealed to be a competitively legal stage where they fight against Big Bird, Donkey and Lionel.

Zeke: This is our home!

Zadie: It's a lovely tree, isn't it?

We then see Mr. E appear ready to assist the three wombats.

Mr. E: It seems like you three need a little assistance!

Malik: Mr. E is our friend!

Zadie: He has an Everything Emporium!

We see footage of the Mr. E assist in action on the Treeborhood stage. Then, we go to the ZOOM stage where we see the wombats pick up the Grandma's Super Cornbread item by the ZOOM oven item.

Zeke: Our favorite food, cornbread!

All three wombats: Yummy!

We then go to the character select screen to showcase that you can make Malik, Zadie or Zeke the leader!

Malik: We can take turns being the leader in these games!

We see Zadie being chosen as the leader on the Character Select Screen and her being the leader in gameplay footage.

Zadie: Absolutely! Us wombats sure can work things out!

We then see other footage including:

  • A preview of the Event Match minus the Acoustic Rooster's Guitar item appearing
  • Them posing with the Kratt Brothers
  • Them in the Julia Child area of the Secret Museum stage pretending to make their grandma's Super Cornbread recipe
  • We even see footage of their Story Mode chapter but only the beginning but not to give too many spoilers away.
Finally, as we hear the credits theme play in the background, we cut back to footage of the Kratt Bros with the wombats.

Kratt Bros and Zaboo: Welcome, our new animal friends!

The three wombats: Yayyy!!!!

All the friends hug and cheer.

However, in the distance, we see a familar looking villain with a robot in the back saying

Zach Varmitech's voice: Hmmmm, new animals, more profit for me! You will not win, Kratt Brothers!

The music stops abruptly as we hear the familiar man.

We then see Malik, Zadie and Zeke added to the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo with all the base roster characters, the two free bonus characters and Bob the Builder by it.

It cuts to copyrights and all.

Announcer Bunny: It looks like the newest additions to the PBS Kids family, Malik, Zadie and Zeke from Work It Out Wombats! join PBS Kids: Brawltime as the second Learner's Pass Volume 1 fighters!

Alright, time to vote on our Legacy Skins as well as vote on a trailer to be used for the wombat siblings in the Strawpoll link below. Personally, I loved Pop's trailer idea for it being a tribute to old-school JRPG games as well as the little Easter Egg with the items that come with the characters being their items but we will decide as a thread on which trailer idea to use. As for the Legacy Skins, vote for your top 4. Your own can come in first if you want. The top 3 alternate costumes will get in!

Legacy Skins

Legacy Skins from AlteredBeast AlteredBeast
Big Bird in Let's Make Big Moves T-Shirt and Black Hat that says "GAMEING" on it
32-Bit Elmo based on VSmile games/graphics
Digit in robotic gaming suit

Legacy Skins from PopCultureCorn PopCultureCorn
WordGirl: Shine Outfit
Xavier Riddle Cybertronic Suit
Apex Ruff Ruffman



Reveal Trailer for Malik, Zadie and Zeke Poll

Now, whenever Pop is ready, it's time for our next newcomer round for our 3rd fighter for the first Learner's Pass! Get voting on the Legacy Skins and vote on a trailer idea after reading both!

My votes:

1. WordGirl Shine Outfit
2. 32-Bit Elmo
3. LMBM Big Bird
4. Xavier Riddle Cybertronic Suit

I love the Apex Ruff Ruffman idea but I feel Apex has too much controversial history about its former TO to be represented in a game with characters from shows aimed towards kids as well as a bad reputation from the platfighter/PBS Kids: Brawltime! community. All great skin ideas though.

Since I'm cared to do the honors........

Job 245: For our 3rd Learner's Pass Vol. 1 fighter, We figured we'd do something special with the 3. For this character job, you are to submit a character from a PBS Kids show that lasted for 3 years or less for it's initial run! Yes, any PBS Kids show that fits into that category has had a shorter lifespan than Miiverse! (2012-2017) As with any other character job, it must be a character with a strong connection to the PBS brand/identity, and please explain the character, the show they are from, why they deserve to be in the roster and how they can fight/what they can bring. Be sure to give your all into this! Get submitting and use your imagination!

1. 32-bit Elmo
2. Wordgirl Shine outfit
3. Xavier Riddle Cybertronic Suit
4. LMBM Big Bird

My character (re)submission:

Sagwa (Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, 2001)


As far as I'm aware, the show only lasted for one measly year, from September 2001 to October 2002. Not surprising as it's not all that popular, really.

Her show takes place in China during the late Qing Dynasty, where she and her other cat friends and family learn lessons regarding family obligations and loyalty. What's interesting about the show is that it's cross-cultural, meaning its theme song is in both English and Chinese.

She deserves a spot in the roster for many reasons. One, there have historically been barely any platform fighting games to have cats as playable fighters, and I am a cat person myself. Two, her show in general, although short-lived, was very obscure and underrated. It fits into the category of obscure 2000's PBS Kids shows. Three, her show takes place in China, which is a country that is very well-known in the USA, with Chinese being one of the most spoken languages in the world. China's THAT recognizable, and the way it's represented in her show is treated with high respect. Those are just 3 examples of my reason she deserves a spot in the roster.

Sagwa would be a lightweight character with high mobility and jumping skills and can also run very fast (Cats can run at 30 mph after all). Most of her attacks would involve swiping her paws at others. One idea for a gimmick or special move I have is a "predatory mode", where she would enter a pose where she is about to pounce something, which is something real world cats tend to do sometimes. Another idea I have for her moves is that can call upon powerful Chinese spirits to fight alongside her. So overall, her moves would be a combination of real-world cat moves and summoning mighty Chinese spirits.


On a side note, if she gets in, that means Sagwa can appear on the existing Pinball stage, as I think it's one of the only PBS Kids shows represented in the Pinball bumpers that is not currently in the game yet.

Actually, we still also need some content from Seven Little Monsters to get the Berenstain Bears plus Seven Little Monsters bumper as well for the PBS Kids Pinball Machine stage alongside the Sagwa bumper in response to PopCultureCorn PopCultureCorn

Anywho, for my character as she is really obscure:

Betsy (Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures)

maxresdefault.jpg


Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures was a show about a five-year-old girl named Betsy who goes to Lakeshore School as she learns about transitioning to being a school student by experiencing new things and unfamilar routines. With the help of people like her teacher Mrs. O'Connor and Bus Driver Bob, she alongside her fellow students learn lessons in academics and behavorial areas as they gain more knowledge through the field trips that they go on. The show only had one season and aired initally ran from January 12th to September 27th of 2008. Heck, I only really remember this show from its webpage and not the actual show itself!

I do remember Pop mentioning this show when we talked about DLC and I do feel we should definitely add one super obscure character just to get that show in the light again. Plus, a fun fact about this show, it was voted in TV Guides "Must See" shows in 2008 despite it being relatively obscure and not really marketed well. Alongside this, we need more female characters as fighters so Betsy fits. After all, PBS Kids is a channel aimed towards kids so why not have a character who is a child who's show is about learning in a school, in and out of it as a fighter?

Now...how would Betsy fight?

I overall feel Betsy would be a lightweight as well as being a glass cannon. Her advantage state is great but she can easily be knocked off the stage. Her moveset would be based on various adventures/topics covered in her show.

For her gimmick:

Stage Adaptation With Learning

This gimmick is a reference as to how Betsy adapts to unfamilar situations. Basically, this is like the gimmick Pop posed for Rosie when submitting her. I feel it fits Betsy as that is the whole premise of the show. She adapts to new situations and learns lessons as well. She could be a fun character with some research done in regards to her assist, stage, item and even story mode chapter and event match!

For those needing help with submitting a character, here are more PBS Kids shows that ran less than three years initally:

  • Liberty's Kids
  • Toopy and Binoo
  • Wimzie's House (I don't know if this show counts since its initial run was in Canada)
  • Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies
  • Elliot Moose
  • Seven Little Monsters
  • Animalia
  • The Zula Patrol
  • Make Way for Noddy/The Noddy Shop
That's all I can think of as well as give but otherwise, I hope this helps with submission ideas!

About time somebody remembered Betsy's Kindergartens Adventures

Another fun fact, Betsy is voiced by Daveigh Chase!, who:

-voiced Lilo in Lilo & Stitch
-played Samara in The Ring

Come to think of it, Betsy being voiced by a horror movie star is......I have no words.........

Alright, I will leave the character job open till probably Thursday or Friday to allow for more submissions to get in so please get them in when you have the chance!! Meanwhile so it is not too much for the future, I want to have a round of discussion questions regarding free content in regards to the non-PBS Kids content like we did to promote the VSmile Classic as well as the sponsorship packs and what not? Alongside these questions, there are fun questions as well so let's get started, shall we?

Discussion Questions:

1. Since Bob the Builder was announced with a VSmile Classic and we got some content based on the VSmile stuff (there will be some more things coming later), would you like there to be more free content in the forms of assists, stages, items, etc. from other edutainment brands? Given that this game could spark a renaissance in old school edutainment products, it could be a fun way to promote nostalgic products made for an older audience to relive childhood memories. In regards to this, which edutainment companies would you like to see get content that have some tie to PBS Kids? Also, would you like to make more tie-in products as well with this content coming in?

2. In regards to the sponsorship packs, what other companies would you like to see sponsor the PBS Kids: Brawltime! Championship Circuit and get Sponsorship Packs? Should future rounds have more specific prompts about companies, have everyone submit a company that has sponsored a PBS Kids show before and a company that has never sponsored a PBS Kids show before similar to how we had 2 shows with PBS Kids history and 2 with no history with the network?

3. Besides free content from non-PBS Kids related things, what other content would you like to see come for free?

4. Back to the VSMile Classic:
-How many games would be on it?
-What games would you want to see on it?
-What would the console come with if you want a Collector's Edition of the console?

Alright, this is a lot so get discussing!


My responses:

1. Personally, I have been thinking about this for a long while...I would love to see us create a renaissance for the older edutainment nostalgia for sure. Making tie-in products is fun. Sure, we may overdo it but honestly...this game is good for marketing as well so we should put our money where the mouth is.

The companies that I want to see get free content:

  • Scholastic: A no brainer but a good amount of PBS Kids shows have been made by Scholastic including Clifford, The Magic School Bus, WordGirl, etc. Heck, even that Dragon Tales game in the PBS Kids Archives was made by Scholastic. I can definitely see us getting a stage from one of their games based on an original Scholastic IP like Math Missions, I Spy, Animal Genius, etc. I would even love a Ms. Frizzle Scholastic inspired Legacy Skin or something like that.
  • Living Books: One of the old school edutainment companies which has actually apps on iPads and all. There were Arthur books on this as well as a certain feline who wears a hat who has yet to join Brawltime! I would love to see a stage inspired by the Aesop's Fables Living Books, it could make for a really fun stage as well as even Simon the crow (the Living Books mascot) as an assist.
  • Random House: Another company who owns the publishing rights for books of our favorite aardvark and the cat. There's even books publised by them based on other PBS Kids shows if counting the Golden Books library. Little Critter assist anyone given Little Critter was also in Living Books?
  • ABCMouse.com: I don't know much about them but I feel they should get something due to the website being a sponsor of PBS Kids programming.
  • Humongous Entertainment: This company does not have much connection to any PBS Kids IP aside from Humongous being owned by Lyrick Studios (the home media company that owned home distribution rights to Barney and Friends, Bob the Builder and Wishbone in the 90s-early 2000s). A more tenuous connection but their games have made a resurgence. An alt for WordGirl based on Pyjama Sam perhaps?
  • LeapFrog: Another tenuous connection but there have been LeapPad books based on PBS Kids IPs including Sesame Street, Arthur, Bob the Builder, Thomas and Friends, etc. Heck, I remember there being like two Leapster games based on PBS Kids IPs, those being Thomas and Friends: Calling All Engines! and Clifford the Big Red Dog: Reading. There's even a Magic School Bus game so there's that. Maybe LeapPad books added to the Archives or even a stage based on an original Leapster game?
  • JumpStart/Knowledge Games: Another tenuous connection but I remember they made games for Teletubbies, Noddy (who has yet to get representation in this game) and Curious George. A JumpStart mascot as an assist maybe?
That's all I can think of but I would love maybe a Leapster Classic, a compilation of Scholastic PC games for modern video game consoles, a collection of JumpStart games, etc. Tons of possibilities. The only edutainment company I left out is The Learning Company as I feel a Learning Company rep should be one of our guest fighters for sure.

2. Personally, I feel everyone should now be allowed to submit two companies; one company with PBS Kids history as in they have been a sponsor of the network and one with no history with the network. Some research may be required but it would be fun to see the research come into play.

The sponsors with PBS Kids history I would like to see be sponsors for our Competitive Circuit:

  • Chuck E. Cheese's (I'm surprised no one submitted them the first time around but...I have fun ideas for them)
  • Kellogg's
  • Danimals
  • Chick-Fil-A
  • Target (believe it or not, they do have PBS Kids history)
All these companies have history with the network and I feel I have great ideas for their Sponsorship Packs for sure.

The sponsors with no PBS Kids history I would like to see be sponsors for our Competitive Circuit:

  • Crayola (A fun idea for sure)
  • Old Navy (A clothing store could create some cool skins for our fighters for sure)
  • Starbucks or Panera Bread
  • Walmart (It would be funny if we had both Walmart and Target as sponsors in the game)
  • Build-A-Bear Workshop
More fun ideas for Sponsorship Packs that I will keep under wraps for now.

3. I would love to see us add more modes and some cool quality of life additions so something for everyone. I have ideas but as of right now, I am keeping those a secret for now until the time comes. Also, I was considering we can MAYBE add event matches based on the free content from edutainment brands. But, that is just a maybe. Alongside the free edutainment brand content, we can add potentially more games/content from that brand into the Archives but not to overstaurate it.

4. I think the VSmile Classic will have about 40ish games. Personally, I would love to see all the games based on PBS Kids shows in there as well as:

  • The Wiggles: It's Wiggle Time
  • Blue's Clues Collection Day
  • Cranium: Partyland Pack
  • Spider-Man and Friends: Secret Missions
  • Toy Story 2: Operation: Rescue Woody!
Those are the games I would mostly want. But, in regards to the packaging...

There will be a regular VSmile Classic sold with just the console as well as a Collector's Edition.

The contents of the Collector's Edition include:

  • The VSmile Classic Console itself
  • A special edition VSmile Classic Controller
  • A big poster of all the VSmile games released with all their boxart on it
  • A statue of V-Pal (the VSmile mascot)
  • An anthology book about the console, its history, the games, etc.
  • A retro-inspired VSmile boxart for the VSmile classic starring all the non-licensed VSmile characters
Also, I feel the console will have the ads for the VSmile as well for more nostalgia.

1. Yes, I would like more free content like that to be added in the future, because it's fun. It might sound weird, but I want content from StarFall.com to get in. More tie-in products would be awesome.

2. While I agree with most of AlteredBeast's points for his answers to this question, some PBS Kids-history sponsors I'd like to see are:
  • Spaghetti-Os
  • Lipton Noodle Soup (I didn't know there really WAS a noodle company sponsor for PBS Kids once)
  • Teddy Grahams
  • Sun Maid Raisins
  • Hefty ZooPals (As a 2000's kid, I strongly approve of this! Heck, there was an Arthur Zoopal once)
  • Rainforest Cafe
  • HOMER
  • Kiddie Academy
  • IKEA

some no-PBS Kids-history sponsors I'd like to see are:
  • Chipotle (They're going to sponsor EVO this year)
  • Olive Garden (I just wanted to throw in an Italian restaurant chain in there)
  • Buffalo Wild Wings
  • Krispy Kreme Donuts
  • Ben & Jerry's
  • Funko (We need PBS Kids Pops!)
  • G-Fuel (While I know energy drinks REALLY aren't for children, the collaborations they've done in the past made me think of this)
  • Melissa & Doug

3. Things like more modes and more QOL changes.

4. I don't have much to say about this one since AlteredBeast nailed this one, but as only about 50 games released, it shouldn't be that hard to get most of them. One Collecter's Edition item I thought about is a Little Red Riding Hood Nendoroid-like figure

James Hiller & Sarah Phillips (Liberty's Kids)


The two main characters from Liberty's Kids! A show that focuses on animated recaps of true historical events in the USA! Sarah is an English immegrent and James is a teenage colonist.

I'd personally like them in as they both remind me of cute anime couples.

Since I couldn't choose between the two of them, why not just make it like to that they're fighting together like a couple? You control both at the same time and both share attacks with each other.

Bula (The Zula Patrol)


I asked myself on this "What's the most, MOST obscure PBS Kids character I could find that has VERY LITTLE documentation up to the point where it's just really horribly documented?", after much digging, I found Bula! His show mainly revolves around teaching science and astronomy.

In terms of how he'd play, Maybe he's play like the Star Fox characters?

Since I'm cared to do the honors........

Job 245: For our 3rd Learner's Pass Vol. 1 fighter, We figured we'd do something special with the 3. For this character job, you are to submit a character from a PBS Kids show that lasted for 3 years or less for it's initial run! Yes, any PBS Kids show that fits into that category has had a shorter lifespan than Miiverse! (2012-2017) As with any other character job, it must be a character with a strong connection to the PBS brand/identity, and please explain the character, the show they are from, why they deserve to be in the roster and how they can fight/what they can bring. Be sure to give your all into this! Get submitting and use your imagination!

1. 32-bit Elmo
2. Wordgirl Shine outfit
3. Xavier Riddle Cybertronic Suit
4. LMBM Big Bird

My character (re)submission:

Sagwa (Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, 2001)


As far as I'm aware, the show only lasted for one measly year, from September 2001 to October 2002. Not surprising as it's not all that popular, really.

Her show takes place in China during the late Qing Dynasty, where she and her other cat friends and family learn lessons regarding family obligations and loyalty. What's interesting about the show is that it's cross-cultural, meaning its theme song is in both English and Chinese.

She deserves a spot in the roster for many reasons. One, there have historically been barely any platform fighting games to have cats as playable fighters, and I am a cat person myself. Two, her show in general, although short-lived, was very obscure and underrated. It fits into the category of obscure 2000's PBS Kids shows. Three, her show takes place in China, which is a country that is very well-known in the USA, with Chinese being one of the most spoken languages in the world. China's THAT recognizable, and the way it's represented in her show is treated with high respect. Those are just 3 examples of my reason she deserves a spot in the roster.

Sagwa would be a lightweight character with high mobility and jumping skills and can also run very fast (Cats can run at 30 mph after all). Most of her attacks would involve swiping her paws at others. One idea for a gimmick or special move I have is a "predatory mode", where she would enter a pose where she is about to pounce something, which is something real world cats tend to do sometimes. Another idea I have for her moves is that can call upon powerful Chinese spirits to fight alongside her. So overall, her moves would be a combination of real-world cat moves and summoning mighty Chinese spirits.


On a side note, if she gets in, that means Sagwa can appear on the existing Pinball stage, as I think it's one of the only PBS Kids shows represented in the Pinball bumpers that is not currently in the game yet.

Actually, we still also need some content from Seven Little Monsters to get the Berenstain Bears plus Seven Little Monsters bumper as well for the PBS Kids Pinball Machine stage alongside the Sagwa bumper in response to PopCultureCorn PopCultureCorn

Anywho, for my character as she is really obscure:

Betsy (Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures)

View attachment 369345


Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures was a show about a five-year-old girl named Betsy who goes to Lakeshore School as she learns about transitioning to being a school student by experiencing new things and unfamilar routines. With the help of people like her teacher Mrs. O'Connor and Bus Driver Bob, she alongside her fellow students learn lessons in academics and behavorial areas as they gain more knowledge through the field trips that they go on. The show only had one season and aired initally ran from January 12th to September 27th of 2008. Heck, I only really remember this show from its webpage and not the actual show itself!

I do remember Pop mentioning this show when we talked about DLC and I do feel we should definitely add one super obscure character just to get that show in the light again. Plus, a fun fact about this show, it was voted in TV Guides "Must See" shows in 2008 despite it being relatively obscure and not really marketed well. Alongside this, we need more female characters as fighters so Betsy fits. After all, PBS Kids is a channel aimed towards kids so why not have a character who is a child who's show is about learning in a school, in and out of it as a fighter?

Now...how would Betsy fight?

I overall feel Betsy would be a lightweight as well as being a glass cannon. Her advantage state is great but she can easily be knocked off the stage. Her moveset would be based on various adventures/topics covered in her show.

For her gimmick:

Stage Adaptation With Learning

This gimmick is a reference as to how Betsy adapts to unfamilar situations. Basically, this is like the gimmick Pop posed for Rosie when submitting her. I feel it fits Betsy as that is the whole premise of the show. She adapts to new situations and learns lessons as well. She could be a fun character with some research done in regards to her assist, stage, item and even story mode chapter and event match!

For those needing help with submitting a character, here are more PBS Kids shows that ran less than three years initally:

  • Liberty's Kids
  • Toopy and Binoo
  • Wimzie's House (I don't know if this show counts since its initial run was in Canada)
  • Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies
  • Elliot Moose
  • Seven Little Monsters
  • Animalia
  • The Zula Patrol
  • Make Way for Noddy/The Noddy Shop
That's all I can think of as well as give but otherwise, I hope this helps with submission ideas!

Alright, this character job is now closed. Thanks to Pop for partaking in the discussion question as well as I have the things discussed about noted in my head. Before we get on to voting on the nominations...time to reveal our next three Legacy Skins that will come with Malik, Zadie and Zeke!

We have a tie between my 32-bit VSmile inspired Elmo Legacy Skin and same with Pop's Shine inspired Legacy Skin for WordGirl! However, there is a tie between my LMBM Big Big Legacy Skin and Pop's skin for Xavier Riddle wearing a cybertronic suit. I will allow Pop's Legacy Skin for Xavier Riddle to get in as I feel it is cooler. Plus, Pop's trailer for the wombats will be used so congrats to him and me for both of our content getting in.

Ok, it's time to vote now so you know the drill...vote for your top 2 nominations but your own can only come in second!

Nominations:

Sagwa (Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat) PopCultureCorn PopCultureCorn

Gimmick/Quirk: Predatory Mode or Chinese Spirits-Monado Arts esque gimmick

Betsy (Betsy's Kindergarden Adventures) AlteredBeast AlteredBeast

Gimmick/Quirk: Stage Adaptation With Learning


James Hiller & Sarah Phillips (Liberty's Kids) CoolCarrot23 CoolCarrot23

Gimmick/Quirk: Two-in-one fighter

Bula (The Zula Patrol) IkeaInklingMustHappen IkeaInklingMustHappen

Gimmick/Quirk: Spacie Playstyle (Is this much of a gimmick though?)

Onward to the next job as well!

Job 246:

Submit a stage job prompt for a stage to come with the update for our third Learner's Pass Volume 1 fighter. Similar to the other jobs, make the prompt specific but leave room for creativity.

Get voting, get submitting and use your imagination!


1. Sagwa
2. Betsy

Sagwa has been one of my most wanted fighters for a good while. I loved her show as a kid, we need more quadrupedal fighters and she's so cute. Betsy is my self-vote as I feel she has a cool gimmick, basically the Rosie assist but as a fleshed-out fighter based on a character from a super obscure PBS Kids show.

James and Sarah is a great idea but they should maybe come later as we recently had a team-based fighter in the form of the wombat trio. Bula is super cool too but I have a different idea in mind for how the Zula Patrol would play as fighters but that will come when the time comes.

Stage prompt submission:

Submit a second stage for Barney and Friends based on any location seen in the series where Barney and his friends have travelled to. However, you cannot submit any of their home meeting bases as the second stage so that means you cannot submit The School seen in the earlier seasons, The Park seen in the later seasons or even the Backyard in the Backyard Gang videos.

Basically, it's been a while since we have done a series specific stage prompt since the Sesame Street-one off skit prompt. However, with Barney getting a reboot (just why?) as well as me questioning why Barney doesn't have a second stage yet confuses me due to this show's super iconic standing. You can submit any Barney location from the tv show, the home video specials, heck even the Backyard Gang videos and Barney's Great Adventure. Just no home bases allowed as we already have The Treehouse as a stage and I don't want another meeting base from Barney as the second stage.

Submit a stage based on another Kratt Bros PBS Kids show! I think the only one not with a stage is Kratt's Creatures, but even I couldn't think of any more good ones at this point.

Alright, I have decided to leave voting open until Tuesday or Wednesday. Same with the stage prompt jobs to get more ideas for stage prompts in so please submit them when you can. But now, another discussion question that I forgot to ask.

Discussion Question:

We need a location for the PBS Kids: Brawltime! Championship Circuit Final! Where should the finals be held where we will crown the Champion of Learning for the Championship Circuit? Submit your ideas here and use your imagination!

My idea:

Virginia


shutterstock_661239940-scaled.jpg


Ok, this location is no New York or California but Virginia is the state where PBS's headquarters is so why not have the finals for the PBS Kids: Brawltime! Championship Circuit in the state where PBS is headquartered? Heck, even Super Smash Con is held in this state so the finals could be held in the same venue maybe? Perfect to have vendors selling PBS Kids-related merchandise, for the sponsors of the tour to come out, etc.

Ok, not gonna lie, I WHOLESOMELY agree with AlteredBeast's location suggestion, and I'll gladly go with that, but If I really had to choose.......

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, NV

That's where EVO is held!
