Main Character of PBS Kids Show Assist
Resubmitting Carmen Sandiego (Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?)
Alright, so for our next stages, for the one based on a PBS Kids website game from a PBS Kids show that is not represented by a fighter, my stage for Thomas's Celebration Game won!Funny enough, I was going to submit Ari as the Elinor Wonders Why assist, but the functions I had in mind for him was different, that being him having the ability to fly forward and any opponent he comes to contact with, he'll grab them for a short time in the air before tossing them forward, making Ari a great tool to pressure others over a ledge, to which those with worse recoveries are pressured even more!
Main Character of PBS Kids Show Assist
Luna
About time we got her in at least!, given Rocko's in Nickelodeon All Star Brawl. As an assist, she'll just tend to mind her own business, exploring all around the stage and occasionally doing roll attacks. At full assist meter, she'll shine bright in the sky, giving the fighter she's assisting immunities to blast zones!, meaning they'll just bounce back whenever they're about to reach the outer blast zones.
I'm so excited for Olive. And the whole roaster of fighters! >u<Alright, so for our next stages, for the one based on a PBS Kids website game from a PBS Kids show that is not represented by a fighter, my stage for Thomas's Celebration Game won!
As for the Brambletown stage:
Weasel and Weasel's: 3
The Junkyard: 5
Underground Mushroom Caverns: 1
It seems The Junkyard will be the Brambletown stage so congrats to Cyborg Sun for his awesome submission!
As for the assists, my assists Ari Bat and Weasel and Weasel will get in! However, for Ari Bat's function when the assist meter is full will be the idea Pop posed. Also, for the Weasel and Weasel assist, they will function as how Cyborg Sun posed them to function.
Now, we need to vote on an assist to join the Olive pack based on a main character from a PBS Kids show so please vote below.

Get submitting and use your imagination!
Elinor Wonders Why Item
Olive's Library Books
View attachment 393070
Ok so this is kind of based on what T TommyEXTheGamer16 posed a while back but, Olive loves books so here, these books can be used like the Franklin badge in the Smash Bros games. When you pick a book up, it will protect you from a certain amount of projectiles. However, this protection will not last for long. When you are protected by her book, the book will absorb that projectile and either will heal you or you can attack your opponent back. It's a very handy item from a bookworm like Olive herself!
Brambletown Item
Dr. Mole's Bubblin' Stew
View attachment 393071
Straight from Dr. Mole's Apothecary, you get some bubblin' stew! She simply created it to heal the fighters straight from the apothecary with things the old, blind healer collected from nature itself. When you see this stew spawn, you will heal about 30% of your damage and get a slight stat buff to showthat you are fully healed! It's an uncommon item so look out for itwhen you can!
Sesame Street Animated Segment Item
Teeny Little Super Guy
View attachment 393072
I had to go with this guy from a very classic Sesame Street segment! When you see his cup spawn, he will be tiny as usual and will help you as he usually does in his segments. He will give you either a super strong item or a healing item based on the situation in battle. Also, he will kind of be like the Mr. Resetti assist from the Smash games and have a speech bubble motivating you to do your best in the game and how to fight. Then, he will walk around the stage and... do nothing else. He's kind of a joke item as is. He's more of your problem solver than a superhero.
Legacy Skin Job Prompt
Submit a Legacy Skin themed or based around something from Brambletown whether it's a character cosplaying as a character or just themed around the art style and such.
Did you think the Brambletown treatment was going to stop there? Think again as one fighter from PBS Kids: Brawltime! will get a Legacy Skin themed around Brambletown! Plus, it would be fun to do a Legacy Skin job based around a sole PBS Kids IP. This time, from a very recent one and a cute one. There's lots of fun we can have here!

Ok so based on the Strawpoll for the assists, Carmen Sandiego won so she will be added so yay to me! As for the items, I thought I would add my 3 alongside Pop's item from Brambletown. For the stew item, Cyborg's idea for its function for the zen animation will be added as well. Well done to the 3 of us!Legacy Skin Job Prompt
Submit a Legacy Skin themed or based around a cosplay of a PBS Kids show main character who didn't get in yet. Just to keep with the consistency of themes here.

Get submitting and use your imagination!
Learning Book Set for Olive
Learning Champion Stage Forms
- Tier 1 (Takes up 1 slot)
- A Stronger Pachy-Punch! (Olive's Light Neutral comes out stronger.)
- Getting Better at Trunk Wrestling (For Olive's Neutral Special, you have a better chance of getting more damage with the proper trunk throws and timing!)
- Faster Notebook Checking (Olive's Light Down is now more spammable)
- Stronger Powers from Nature (For Olive's Down Special, it will give her a better stat buff from it._)
- Tier 2 (Takes up 2 slots)
- This Is A Blast! (For Olive's Up Special, she can perform it twice and go farther up!)
- Buff from the Explorers Club! (Now, Olive gains a stat buff to assist her, thanks to the Explorers Club!)
- Louder Trumpeting (Now, Olive's Light Up comes out faster and it's a bit stronger!)
- Tier 3 (Takes up 3 slots)
- Super Strong Trunk Wrestling! (Now, for Olive's Neutral Special, it's a lot stronger and she can REALLY throw opponents!)
- The Best of Nature (In Olive's Down Special, the buff will automatically go to Olive once she performs the Down Special and the buffs are super strong now!)
- Tier 4 (Takes up 4 slots)
- The Bookworm of Nature! (For the first few seconds, Olive will be invincible and any attacks she gets coming towards her will be reflected via a book visual to show her love of books, knowing she was prepared to fight!)
Hopefully, I will get around to writing a Story Mode chapter for Olive. I just don't have the time right now. I apologize for the lack of contributions to the Story Mode from me as I feel I am on writer's block with the Story Mode itself but...hopefully I'll write something later or tomorrow.
- The Cave of the Ancients (I envision the layout being similar to Metal Cavern but more competitively viable with a level stage and such)
- Animal Town (Why not have an Elinor Wonders Why stage here where here it's similar to the NASB 1 layout for Rooftop Rumble but instead of the one static platform, you get two moving platforms that move in a circle.)
- Lakeshore Elementary School and Playground (Think like Jake's Treehouse from MulitVersus but here you get a platform that moves based on the monkey bars similar to the Snake Block from the Mario games. You fight around the playground area here as your setting in the background.)
I love your idea for the Story Mode chapter.Learning Champion Stage Forms
- The Treehouse: It can have a layout like Treetop Lodge from Rivals of Aether, since both stages involves tree shelter. I figured I'd give one to a Barney stage.
- The Barnaby B. Busterfield III Public Library: I was thinking it can be similar to the old Omega from for Onett from SSB4, just a simple solid block platform
- The Noodle and Doodle Bus: A layout similar to battlefield with the bus driving in the background
Alright, so I did actually have a story mode chapter in mind for Olive, being she stops Sagwa's palace from flooding and then Olive, Sagwa and some others would go out and fight a mysterious virus that was terrorizing the city, but since AlteredBeast just posted his story mode chapter for Olive, I figured I'd hjsut post all what I actually had in mind for it beforehand, and so here's my unfinished story mode chapter for Olive below, AlteredBeast, you have my permission to use this in yours if you want, IF you want, and if you can figure out the rest.
Story Mode Chapter for Olive:
Learning to Code and Cope with Olive.
The chapter starts with Elinor, Olive and Ari all in a VR gaming room full of huge wires, wearing hi-tech VR headsets where the three friends were all trying out some new complex VR game about environment exploration. During their experience, Olive was getting a little curious about what pieces all those digital worlds together.
Ari: You know, Life in this world sure is far different from our home......here, there's all sorts of technology and stuff, what else can I say but....this is the life!
Elinor: Yeah, I mean, even though that purple monster destroyed our home back then and we all had to run away from this place, I've always wondered what life would be like in this new world, but know I know that it's not so bad after all!
Olive: I agree, Elinor, and even in this new place, I can still learn about how does all of this come together. Like.......what makes all of this technology possible? Like...what pieces them all together?
Elinor: Beats me! But I do wonder.....
Later, the three were at a huge computer gaming room, where we see them looking at all the players doing various computer activities, playing games, browsing videos and doing coding exercises. Olive seemed the most fascinated.
Olive: Hmmmmm.....there's some screens with a lot of lines! Hmmmmm....I'd love to learn more about all of those.
Suddenly, The three all hear a mysterious loud rumble, Olive tells the others that she'll go out and investigate the incident. She finds out that the source of the rumble was coming from a big Chinese Palace with a waterfall next to it, where apparently something had toppled some of the locks and caused some of the water to pour inside the palace! Olive decides to go in the palace as a platforming section (It's the same Chinese palace Sagwa gets in her best best ending of her Story Mode chapter) where she traverses flooded rooms, to which she has to use her trunk to suck up the water and spit out the water to wells placed all around the stage. Olive then traverses through the flooded palace and she passes by the sleeping Magistrate and his sleeping family as well as Sagwa, Dongwa, Sheegwa and their parents and relatives are sleeping too, not noticing that their home is flooded, and to the waterfall where she pushes a rock back to its place to stop the waterfall from flooding the palace any further. Sagwa then wakes up the moment the palace stops flooding and she notices a young elephant in front of her.
Sagwa: Ooooh......what a dream I had, I dreamed of all the rivers back in China.......Ooh! an Elephant!
Olive: Oh hey there, mrs. cat! Uhhhh, may you introduce yourself?
Sagwa: I'm Sagwa, official calligrapher and artist of this new city!
Olive: Oh hi, Sagwa! My name is Olive! and how must your day been going?
Sagwa: Overall, very great! Me and my family have been living peacefully in this city and life been goin' good for us!
and saldy, I'm stopping here and letting you guys figure out the rest
Love it :3Alright, so I will close the Event Matches submission for now. I will allow Pop's first two events to be the first two for Olive while my third and fourth event matches will be a part of Olive's Event Match batch so well done to the both of us!
Now, PBS Kids Archives time!
Job 527:
Submit episodes to be added to the PBS Kids Archives for the Olive update. We'll need one episode from Elinor Wonders Why of course. I also feel we should add an episode for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? since we added her as an assist. Feel free to submit episodes from shows already represented in this game who got content in this update as well as for the other stuff that just got added. I would say keep the bonus episodes from already represented PBS Kids shows at about 5 max as usual.
Job 528:
Submit 5 PBS Kids Website games and 3 video games based on PBS Kids shows that should be added to the Archives for this update. The top 5 website games from PBS Kids webpages and the top 3 video games after voting will be added to the Archives!
One of the website games and one of the video games MUST come from a PBS Kids show represented in PBS Kids: Brawltime! that is NOT represented by a fighter.

Barney and Friends:

The Elinor Wonders Why episodes I chose were primarily because the first half focused on Olive. As for the Carmen Sandiego show episodes, I chose them at random based on what looked cool but any episode works. The Brambletown special had to be added of course alongside the compilation of the Share-A-Story Talent Show segments and such. As for the bonus episodes and content, the Sesame Street episode chosen had the debut of Teeny Little Super Guy and his segments. The episode for The Magic School Bus dealt with electricity like in Olive's Story Mode chapter. The PTV Park bumper compilation will be updated as well with stuff for Carmen. Alongside this, we also get a technically new show being Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales due to the Thomas website game getting a stage. I chose this episode of Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales as one of the classic Thomas episodes told in that episode was Henry and The Elephant. Finally, the Barney and Friends episode had the debut of the Elephant Song.

For the Elinor Wonders Why game, I chose one that had Olive as the main character in it. The Tots TV website is a surprise as its the only PBS Kids show in Brawltime! that has a fighter but no website content yet I think so...here we are. We needed another Xavier Riddle game and the same with Dragon Tales. The bonus game was an obvious choice with the Thomas and Friends game chosen.
As for the video games, I thought I would go with the Zoboomafoo game not published by The Learning Company to be a completionist here. The Arthur game seemed cool as I love its platformer-esque gameplay and such. Finally, the Carmen Sandiego game is based on the original Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? game but it's the 1996 re-release to coincide with the PBS Kids show at the time and has clips of the Chief in the game as well.
Alright, so I will close the Event Matches submission for now. I will allow Pop's first two events to be the first two for Olive while my third and fourth event matches will be a part of Olive's Event Match batch so well done to the both of us!

Job 529:
Time for the fifth round of Legacy Skins for Learner's Pass Vol. 2 fighters! Submit up to 4 Legacy Skins based on major platfighter/fighting game tournaments 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 on things, not from their shows.
If you are submitting a batch of 4 Legacy Skins, two of them must follow the Legacy Skin job criteria we set aside for two of them! One Legacy Skin must be of a character cosplaying as a character from Brambletown or inspired by the Brambletown special as well as one of a PBS Kids character cosplaying as a main character from a PBS Kids show that is not in the game as a fighter.
Get submitting and use your imagination!
EVO Fighter Nature Cat
View attachment 393461
EVO did happen a few weeks ago and the fact that we got some Sesame Street-themed merchandise for EVO Japan shows that there is...some sort of PBS Kids connection with EVO. However, since Nature Cat has one move with a reference to Street Fighter, he is the PERFECT fit for an EVO-themed Legacy Skin. Here, Nature Cat simply sports a black karate gi with the EVO logo on it. All his attacks will have a hit sound effect similar to classic fighting games like Street Fighter and such with the shielding also having the block sound effects inspired by classic fighting games as well. Alongside this, Hal and Squeeks will appear with the EVO gi as well. He even has a special entrance animation where he walks in similar to Ryu like he does in the Smash Bros games. When you get a KO, the EVO logo will appear in the background. If you win a match wearing this Legacy Skin, Nature Cat will strike a victory pose similar to Ryu's! Unfortunately, you cannot do the Easter Egg with Daisy on Fred's homestage while playing as this skin. However, if you use the regular Nature Cat with the Daisy cat on his homestage while fighting against this Nature Cat, you will get a special Nature Analysis Easter Egg about EVO and PBS Kids: Brawltime's appearance at said tournament! To be fair, I'm REALLY surprised we did not do an EVO-themed Legacy Skin until now...
The Odd Neon Gaming City Agent Ms. O
View attachment 393462
It's been a while since Ms. O got a Legacy Skin so...I thought I would give her one based on her Story Mode chapter. She has a more simple Legacy Skin where she wears her new suit inspired by various animes and such about secret agents where her suit is more anime-styled and colorful. All of her attacks have a neon glow and each time you attack, a random odd number will appear. Get a KO and all the Odd Squad agents will appear in the background in anime-style fashion with suits inspired by the Neon Gaming City saluting you alongside kanji that says "Odd Squad" in it. How cool is that! No unique victory animation as this Legacy Skin is a bit more lowkey.
Brambletown Legacy Skin
The Wombats in Brambletown
View attachment 393463
The wombat siblings fit the cute animal theme of Brambletown so here...Malik, Zadie, and Zeke will appear in the art style of Brambletown. Simply put it, the three of them will be in that cute 2D artstyle with Malik having fox fur and wearing the same outfit Fox wears, Zadie wearing an outfit inspired by Dr. Mole and mole-themed skin, and Zeke wearing the clothes of Badger and having badger fur. Each of the attacks has the artstyle and there's even a special entrance animation where the three siblings walk over a bridge similar to the one seen in Brambletown. When you get a KO, the moon appears and lights shine around you. Heck, the lights even appear in your taunt. Win the match and you will get the normal victory animation that you would with the wombats but a small random bit from a song from Brambletown will play in the background for fun!
PBS Kids Main Character Cosplay
Big Bird the Acoustic Rooster
View attachment 393464
Ok so...I wanted to do a main character cosplay based on a main character from an upcoming PBS Kids show as that was also a Legacy Skin job prompt inspired by Cyborg Sun
But...here I am killing two birds (heh) with one stone as this is not only a main character who did NOT get in yet but...this is a Legacy Skin based on a main character from a PBS Kids show still yet to come out. Based on the book Acoustic Rooster and his Barnyard Band, Big Bird sports a cosplay based on Acoustic Rooster where he gets rooster-esque feathers and such. He even gets a bit of an illustration outline as well to make him feel like...he popped out of a book. He has a special entrance animation with this Legacy Skin as Big Bird will simply walk out of a barn to appear on the battlefield at the beginning of a fight! With each one of the attacks you hit, music notes appear and you will hear the sound of music. Get a KO and Acoustic Rooster and his friends play you a victory tune! This Legacy Skin also has a special taunt where Big Bird plays the guitar a little for Radar. For the victory animation, Big Bird will dance with Acoustic Rooster and his friends in this Legacy Skin.
I simply feel that this show has YET to come out (hopefully next year) and that PBS Kids would want to market more of the upcoming shows, this feels like a fun pick. Also, for that one Event Match that came with the wombats a while back that was partially inspired by Acoustic Rooster and his Barnyard Band...Big Bird will sport this Legacy Skin in this update for that Event Match as a minor change.
I'm so hypedSorry about the long wait everyone but...real-life stuff keeps me busy as usual and I guess a bit of writer's block too.
As for the PBS Kids Archives additions, all my episodes as well as my website game for Elinor Wonders Why will be added. The Arthur PC game poll ended in a tie but I will let Pop's game join.
For the Legacy Skin, even though we add 4 all the time, I guess 5 would work honestly. EVO and SuperNova are big video game events so yay to me and PopCultureCorn
Now, for a new enhancement, our second free themed-update and a reveal trailer!
Job 530:
Submit a huge game changing enhancement for a mode in PBS Kids: Brawltime! that you want to be added with Olive's update!
Job 531:
Submit a theme idea for our second free update based around PBS Kids-themed content. Also, submit the content ratio. You CANNOT do an update themed around PBS Kids IDs/interstitals/bumpers. You may have:
Be sure to explain why your theme should be chosen!
- Maximum of 2 stages
- Maximum of 1 item
- Maximum of 2 Legacy Skins based on the theme
- An assist if you want one
- PBS Kids Archives content for website games are allowed, they do NOT factor in into the total of 5 pieces of content. However, you are allowed a maximum of up to 3 PBS Kids show episodes, other compilations, etc., 3 website games and 2 video games themed around said theme of the free update
Side Job:
Submit a reveal trailer script for Olive! She can be revealed in a PBS Kids: Brawltime! presentation or even at another gaming event.
Get submitting and use your imagination!
Enhancement for Mode
Learning Playground Stage Forms
Similar to the idea of Aether stages from Rivals of Aether...I was thinking, instead of just about every stage getting a competitively legal form...why not give the stages with competitively legal stage layouts some more casual layouts as an option for a more fun time?
In this update, five competitively legal stages will be getting fun forms with hazards and such, including....
Second Free Update Theme
- Tickle Me Land (There are now more platforms and various thought bubbles appear. Alongside this, there may be a surprise appearance from Drawer to attack and combo you and even Piano appears)
- Busterfield Library (Exclusively in the main part, you stop there and it turns into a bigger stage! Various monkey patrons cause monkey business by ramming ladders into you and such. Even then, you'll stop at each section for a nice fight with walkoff blastzones making them more grounded.)
- The Treehouse (Now, Barney's treehouse has a form for fun! Here, it's grounded but there are also slides for you to slide on and the stage is bigger with walkoff blastzones.)
- Buster's Video Postcards (Same stage layout but various natural hazards come like rockslides, snowstorms, etc. A more simpler change)
- Land of Make-Believe (Same layout with layout changes happening similar to the Pokémon Stadium stage changes like with layouts based on King Friday's castle, a layout dedicated to the trolley's track where the trolley comes by and can attack you, etc.)
Getting Artsy and Crafty!
View attachment 393622
Art projects and arts and crafts are a common theme in PBS Kids shows. There are even shows that focus on this subject like Scribbles and Ink, Mark Kristler's Imagination Station, Pappyland, etc. Even in shows that are represented, most of them have an episode focusing on colors, painting, drawing, etc. I was going to do an animals/nature-themed update idea but I feel since Olive focuses on nature, I thought we would go with a subject change. After all, we do need more art stuff in this game.
Content:
I will submit a reveal trailer for Olive soon. However, I want to see if anyone else wants to write a reveal trailer script. Plus, I want to get this job up as I have other stuff I want to focus on before writing a reveal trailer so have at it!
- 2 stages based on PBS Kids shows dealing with arts and crafts/art (either not represented or represented already)
- 1 item from a PBS Kids show dealing with arts and crafts/art (either not represented or represented already)
- 2 Legacy Skins themed around art of some kind
- 1 assist based on a PBS Kids show NOT represented that deals with art/arts and crafts
- PBS Kids Archives stuff based on PBS Kids shows dealing with art/arts and crafts and website games and video games potentially.
Let's goooo!!!!!Alright, sorry about the long wait, writer's block and real life strikes again as usual but...here is my Olive trailer:

We start 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, all the Learner's Pass Vol. 1 fighters, Curious George, Nature Cat, the ClueFinders and Sagwa.
We then see the logo slowly fade away onto a TV where we see an Animal Crossing-esque town. Then, we zoom out to now fully realize that this town is a familiar-looking town from a certain PBS Kids show.
However, as we see the place, we then see Announcer Bunny appear in the Animal Crossing-esque style about to announce with the Animal Crossing speech bubble down by him. All the characters will have their dialogue in the speech bubble.
Announcer Bunny: AAAAAAAA-Nouncer Bunny here to tell you all that one of the Brawltime Party invites went into this town of animals! Right now, one of the new villagers is here to take the invite and make the delivery! Thank youuuuuu!
Announcer Bunny pops back in his hat while we see Dash in the form of an Animal Crossing villager delivering the invite.
We see Dash travel across the town as he passes various PBS Kids characters cameoing as Animal Crossing-esque characters like Arthur, the wombats, Angelina Ballerina, etc.
Finally, we see him reach a certain clubhouse where some animals are meeting.
We see a rabbit, bat, and elephant standing before us.
Elinor: Huh? What's this?
Ari, Elinor, and Olive then look at the invite.
Ari: It seems to be a letter for some sort of Brawltime Party!
Olive examines the letter closer.
Olive: But...it doesn't say who is going. I mean, I noticed the party has come through our town with all those fighters coming in and out. I even read about all of them.
Elinor: But...who can go? I'm quick but not so strong.
Ari ponders about this for a second.
Ari: Well...I can fly but I can't seem to focus all the time.
Finally, Olive comes to the realization.
Olive then says....
Olive: Well I'm not fast or can't fly but...
Olive then holds up a book.
Olive: I am super strong and I read all about the various competition that there is at the Brawltime Party! With my trunk, you can trust me out there!
Elinor then thinks.
Elinor: That is a great idea Olive!
It then transitions to show the Exploring Club meeting outside their Clubhouse to congratulate Olive on joining the Brawltime Party.
Elinor: Explorers, let us congratulate and wish Olive the best of luck at the Brawltime Party!
We see them all clap and celebrate.
Olive: Well thanks everyone! I am ready to party!
Afterwards:
We then see Olive get into a pose and then we see an introduction screen pop up:
Introducing Olive! (Olive stands next to the text which is in the PBS Kids font while Announcer Bunny says "Olive!")
We then cut to footage of Olive fighting on the Animal Town stage against Malik, Zadie and Zeke, Arthur and Big Bird while we hear a remix of the Elinor Wonders Why theme. From this point on, the characters speak with dialogue from voice actors.
Olive: Oh my, I read about all of you in my book! All of you seem like great competition!
We see her use various Light Moves on fighters such as her Light Neutral on Miss Frizzle on the Magic School Bus stage, her Light Up on Mr. Rogers on the Land of Make Believe stage and her Light Down on Lionel on Cliff's Cliff. The strong variants are shown off too.
She also uses her Up Special on The Tarrytown Sky Parade stage.
We also see her use her Down Special for a bit and its function on the Fred's Backyard and Nature Adventures stage where she uses it on Nature Cat.
Nature Cat: Woah! This elephant sure can pack...yderm a punch with her knowledge of nature!
Olive: Yep! Your another nature explorer too, Fred!
Nature Cat: Me! Well...I feel famous getting to meet the wonderful explorer, Olive!
Now, we cut to footage of The Clubhouse stage where we see Olive fight against Chris and Martin and Elmo.
Olive: This is where the Exploring Club meets!
Elinor: Perfect for us to cheer on our friend Olive!
The rest of the Exploring Club: Go Olive!
We even see Ari as an assist and his function that he uses on Digit with Delete as his assist on Cyberspace.
Ari: Hey Olive, care for a flight? I can help you!
Olive: Oh yes, I can always count on fellow explorers! Thanks Ari for the lift!
Olive's Library Books item spawns on the Once Upon a Restaurant stage and we see its function as Olive demonstrates on Curious George and other characters try it across various stages.
Olive: Hey, since I'm a part of the Brawltime party, why don't I share some of my books?
Lionel: Woah, an elephant that can read....coolllll......
Chris: It's so cool to see an elephant read.
Martin: This elephant definitely has a lot of smarts, that's what we know about elephants!
Then, we cut into a part where we see Olive's Neutral Special where it focuses on her Pachyderm Grappler gimmick on The Treehouse stage as she demonstrates on Barney and even Sagwa.
Barney: This elephant is super-deeee-duper! She can really use her trunk!
Olive: I definitely know how to trust it and use it to its fullest! Thanks Barney!
We even see her use the Trunk Wrestling move but fail a few times across a few stages.
We then cut to some other fun footage of Olive including:
Finally, after the last beat of the remix of the Elinor Wonders Why theme, we see her added to the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo alongside the other 33 fighters making the total number of fighters, 34!
- Footage of the platforming section of the electric corridor in her Story Mode chapter
- Her using her taunt on the Mother Goose Land stage
- Her running away from Nature Cat when Squeeks appears in the Light Up of Nature Cat's moveset
- Her using the Nature Book special on Zobooland with Cheeko there.
We then cut to quick funny footage of Nature Cat with Olive in the Elinor Wonders Why style of animation.
Nature Cat: So how do you do that trunk wrestling?
We see him try but fail.
Olive: You will get it one day.
We see the screen fade to black with the copyrights.
Then, it focuses back on Announcer Bunny in live action.
Announcer Bunny: Well, that sure was fun! Our fifth fighter for the Learner's Pass Vol. 2 is a special one as she is not the main character of a show. This time, that cute, little elephant with a strong trunk, Olive joins the Brawltime Party! Her Meet the Fighters video will come out after this presentation as well and the update containing her will be coming out right after this presentation as well!!!
This trailer introduces:
Notes:
- Olive as a fighter, her moveset and main gimmick alongside her taunt
- Her home stage, The Clubhouse
- Ari as an assist and his function
- Olive's Library Books item and its function
- Footage of Olive's Story Mode chapter that doesn't spoil too much of the plot
As for news regarding this thread, me and Pop have been talking. Pop is planning on officially departing this thread on Halloween depending on how much gets accomplished. He is going on a trip overseas with family from November 6th to the 24th. Also, I am starting a new career soon (technically, I began it in a way). Ironically, I am going to be a special education teacher for third graders (ironic for a guy who is making an idea for a PBS Kids platform fighter). My first official day of school for my students starts on the fifth of September so...I do not know how much time I can put into this thread. Hopefully, much won't change and I will have stricter deadlines.
- This trailer was based on social simulation video games such as Animal Crossing and such. I had the idea for an Animal Crossing-esque trailer for the wombats but...this worked perfectly for Olive.
- Her Event Match wasn't revealed as the main one had content from Brambletown alongside the last Event Match is just the platforming section but harder.
- I went for a lack of a Story Mode plot hinting at the trailer to keep for a surprise. Hence...there are a lack of reveals as usual compared to how Sagwa's trailer had a ton of stuff.
The free update theme idea will close tonight and the free update content job will begin tomorrow! Please get submitting!
Yoooooo!!!Hey, good luck on that job! And as for me, I've been focusing a lot of my time on making playable character mods for Marvel Ultimate Alliance... a lot of them being PBS KIDS characters. Obviously not quite a platform fighter, but little by little I'm making my own personal dreams of a playable crossover a reality here, lol. Naturally, this means I myself probably won't be as active here as well, but I'll contribute to the stuff that really catches my interest!
Funny enough, the characters I've made from them so far (Daniel Tiger, Emily Elizabeth, Elinor) aren't in this Brawltime! concept... just an odd coincidence.
InterestingOh man...me behind again on updates, no surprise but my new enhancement, reveal trailer idea and update theme will be used so well done to me. As for the stuff Cyborg Sun showed off...that's really awesome for real! I love to see some PBS Kids-themed mods in video games.
Now, it's free update time! After this job, it's time for our sixth newcomer for Learner's Pass Vol. 2 folks! Our newcomer job will be the biggest one yet and dare I'd say...a two-in-one deal
Job 532:

You can submit everything for this update or some things! So, go ahead and submit your stages, item, assist, etc. Use your imagination for real!
- 2 stages based on PBS Kids shows dealing with arts and crafts/art (either not represented or represented already)

Stages
Mark Kistler's Imagination Station
View attachment 393886View attachment 393887
A very obscure PBS Kids show from back in the PTV Park days that dealt with drawing. The fighters fight inside the drawing. In the drawings, the cartoons come to life. You will see Mark Kistler's pencil drawing alongside his narration as to how to draw. There are walkoffs on this stage and the drawings and pencil will give you damage so watch out if you are in the artist's way! You may even see Mark draw some new drawings based on the PBS Kids characters.
PBS Kids Storyboards
View attachment 393888View attachment 393889
A bit more of a museum and tribute stage, here you fight on top of various PBS Kids storyboards from various PBS Kids shows represented in the game. There are no hazards except the platforms change. You can see storyboards in the background and even the ones you are fighting on during the fight! It's a true trip down PBS Kids memory lane here!
Assist
Scribbles and Ink
View attachment 393893
This artistic cat and mouse duo joins PBS Kids: Brawltime! as for they are quite artsy. As your assist, the duo will create something with Scribbles drawing and Ink painting. They may give you a small item or even another platform or something handy. However...when your assist meter is full, they go all out. They will not only give you stronger items and cooler stuff with a full assist meter but draw on your opponents similar to the Vince assist from Super Smash Bros Ultimate and such distracting your opponents. The artsy duo does come in handy in the fight!
Item
Binky (Pappyland)
View attachment 393894
It's time we get some more American Public Television content in this game! When Binky is summoned, he will talk and blab. Unlike the regular paintbrush item, you can only use him at close range. It's like a sword in this case. When you strike an opponent with Binky, he will simply paint all over them and give them a nerf of some kind getting them stuck in art. He's a fun item as he overall knows how to really make a masterpiece out of your opponents!
Legacy Skins
Imagination Station Barney
View attachment 393895
Knowing that Barney and Friends and Mark Kistler's Imagination Station both aired during the PTV Park era, I do feel Barney should get a fun Legacy Skin based on Mark Kistler's sketches and also the fact a lot of classic Barney episodes dealt with art. Heck, I remember the one episode Tomie DePaola appeared. Barney appears in a black-and-white state like a 3D drawing. All of his attacks have a monochrome appearance like a sketch. He has a unique Entrance animation where he pops out of a piece of paper instead of being a doll. His Neutral Up is a pencil (he is not poking anyone out of harm) and the pencil will draw lines. When you get a KO, a random drawing will appear to celebrate. Also, you get a unique Victory Animation showing Barney jumping into a piece of paper as he jumped out of one to fight in a battle.
Museum Statue Big Bird
View attachment 393896
Based on the old school Sesame Street special, Don't Eat the Pictures!, Big Bird is now in the style of a marble statue like those seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here, all his attacks have a marble visual effect. There is nothing special when you get a KO but there is a special Entrance Animation where Big Bird comes alive after being a still statue. He also gets a unique victory animation where he pretends to be a staute and then says "How do statues stay still for that long?" similar to how he questions the statues at the end of Don't Eat the Pictures! A fun skin honoring an awesome art museum (which I have been to once for a field trip...really cool museum if you ever decide to visit NYC).

View attachment 393898
Barney: Secrets of the Rainbow (PC)
View attachment 393899
Not too much here but I thought we could add a Scribbles and Ink game alongside another Nature Cat game dealing with art. Also, have some more HiT era Barney stuff with the Secret of the Rainbow PC game that had to deal with colors and painting. Not too much to add since we already have a lot of art-themed website games and some video games that have a coloring section in them.
...oh shoot I need to do that tie-in brand too, uhhhhhh...Introducing... Matthias
View attachment 389833
The young mouse warrior from Redwall (which right now is only represented by one item) strikes again! Based on the novels by Brian Jacques of the same name, this used to be an American Public Television distribution that many would find as quite notable on PBS Kids, being possibly the only show with no explicit educational content. As well, the show explores some darker themes (but isn't nearly as dark as the actual novels get). If you compare the PBS catalogue to Nintendo's offerings, you could very easily view this as a "Fire Emblem" type of series.
While some may say the real Smash has too many swordfighters, for Brawltime!... this choice would introduce the very first swordfighter to the game! His unique gimmick is derrived from the fact that he'd be one of the very few characters on the roster that actually knows how to fight, funny as that sounds... as a true warrior, Matthias learns more about the opponents' attacks by observing them... well, more like by getting hit by them. If he gets hit enough by the same attack, he will have a small chance of automatically dodging it! (As long as it's not part of a combo; This would ideally only be for single moves that are spammed over and over, as breaking out of combos for free based on RNG is too cheap) This chance grows higher the more he's hit by that same attack, so it would be smart to mix up your attack patterns against this legendary hero!
Aside from that, his main moveset could simply be inspired by the likes of Link & Marth (and clones/semi-clones) from the real Smash. I'd advise against having a counter-attack special move though, I think the auto-dodge chance is enough and the shield mechanic of the game is already a universal counter.
