READY... GO!
You're doing good so far, having fought your way past a few Nintendo mascots to get here... how about a little minigame before you get back into the action? Get to and break these ten floating targets without falling off of the course, and you'll get a nice bonus to your score! They're spread out in a way that'll put your skills to the test, but hey... shouldn't be too much of a challenge for Melee Bishop, right? After all, this is what he's been training for!

...
Eleven years later, and I finally got the chance to commission runde to draw up my dragons again! Yes, it's been a looong time, but I'm still pleased with the artwork he did for me eons ago, and just had to eventually hit him up once more about drawing their aged-up forms! Followers of this artist may notice that he seems to particularly enjoy drawing up various fighting poses with lots of action behind them, and while I personally was never able to get into fighting games, I was a big fan of Super Smash Bros.! I rather enjoyed the games a lot back in my youth (though I fell off after Brawl and really need to get around to playing Ultimate some day...), and listening to that remix I linked above inspired me to ponder how my own dragons would fare if they were contenders.

Seemed like a fun idea, yeah? I thought so, as did runde if this image is any indication! For as timid and meek as Melee can be, he does know a thing or two about wielding that sword, and this obstacle course seems to be giving him a pretty good chance to show those abilities off! Still, that's only two targets... hopefully he'll be able to get to those eight remaining targets - these levels aren't exactly designed to make doing such a walk in the park!

Do YOU think he can pull it off?

A NEW RECORD!
