Count Cannoli

A gentleman thief. A master of disguise. The TV Star, The Silver Zephyr! …and always a firm disbeliever in the Wario Partners. Sure, he might’ve invested some of his stolen treasures into the duo’s scheme for the tournament, but he always doubted their abilities, and rightly so! Now he’s got the two running around like errand boys while he records new episodes of his show, to make them somewhat useful when they haven’t finished paying their debts! At least he’s still got his own plans for the studio… He still can’t believe they didn’t get Weird Al’s signature.

Wobbuffet

Wob Wobba Wobbufett! Do not fret! Meowth may no longer be in charge of staff-related matters, but Wobbuffet is still acting as security for the event! It’s been quite the adjustment for this humble Pokémon to remain neutral while also being Meowth’s guest and companion. Rumors have been circulating around the studio that Jesse and James of Team Rocket have been trying to reestablish contact with Meowth now that he’s in the spotlight, but presumably Wobbuffet has been preventing such from happening.

Escargoon

This cowardly but loyal snail is none other than King for a Day veteran King Dedede’s right-hand lackey. He puts up with all of Dedede’s antics, no matter how degrading or insane they are. Despite having no backbone figuratively and literally, Escargoon is able to keep up with Dedede’s abrasive personality through his scathing wit and sarcasm. Being a part of the upper echelon of Cappy Town has its perks as he resides in Dedede’s Castle, as he is also the host of the hit network, Channel DDD.

Plankton

Sheldon J. Plankton is an evil genius first and a restaurateur second. He’s the owner of the Chum Bucket and rival of former King for Another Day contestant, Mr. Krabs. However, despite his cunning intellect and college education, his restaurant lacks both a friendly atmosphere and good tasting food. Not high quality. >:3[ Instead of using his smarts to make his restaurant’s menu better, he puts his energy towards invading the Krusty Krab regularly. Attempting to steal the secret formula for the Krabby Patty, he ultimately always fails. For someone so microscopically small, his ego and arrogance are colossal and holds him back from garnering any success.

Xenia

Originally designed by Alan Mackey in 1996, Xenia (at the time an unnamed male fox) was in the running to be the mascot for Linux, but was passed over in favor of Tux by Linus Torvalds. While other animals were also considered, the fox character was the only one to stick around, used by those who preferred them over Tux. Years later, the Linux community rediscovered the fox mascot, naming her Xenia and adopting her as an unofficial second mascot for some of the many flavors of Linux. Some people even say she’s the cooler mascot! She certainly has the upper hand against Tux in outfit choices.

Plusle & Minun

These two live up to their roles as Electric-type Pokémon. Plusle dons insignia representing positive energy, whereas Minun represents negative energy. Both Pokémon share the tendency to take on a cheerleader like role for whatever Pokémon they’re partnered with in battles, even unleashing a loud cry if their partner faints in battle. Cited in their Pokédex entries, Plusle tends to gravitate towards telephone poles and drain the energy from them and Minun greatly dislikes water and will actively take shelter from it.

Niko

Summoned as the bearer of the Sun and the Messiah prophecy foretold, Niko awoke in a dark, dying world tasked with bringing the Sun back to it. Carrying a lightbulb-shaped sun and unaware of just how crucial it is to their connection to this new world, they make their way to the tower that will house the Sun. But when Niko reaches the Sun’s final resting place, they learn of the choice they have to make: save the world, or save themselves? There’s no do-overs, after all… you only get one shot.

HOLY FUCK & Dave

HOLY FUCK! Holy fuuuuck… 𝐻𝑜𝓁𝓎 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀~ It’s Dave from Total Drama Pahkitew Island, the objectively WORST character from the Total Drama canon! It appears after his run on Total Drama and getting his incel ASS turned down by Sky, this horrifying amalgamation of DJ Professor K and Monokuma, HOLY FUCK, has seemingly taken interest in Dave and is now tormenting him relentlessly, all the while trying to make him man the fuck up, however the likelihood of that happening anytime soon is next to none. Lmao what a crybaby bitch.

Pumpkin

This sentient little pumpkin with stubby cartoonish black legs beams joy into everyone he comes across through his love of dancing. The dance he performs is a rather simple, but effective jig of bobbing up and down while reaching one leg out and then the other over and over again. The creator of (Beta Mix) loves this character and the GIF he appears in so much that he has become a mascot on The KFAD Recreation Project Discord Server during Halloween!
