Roys Sports Hall

The web feature that answers the age-old question, "wouldn't it be cool if random characters from the Mario series got into a fight?"

Roy's Sports Hall features combat between enemies of the Mario Bros. franchise, ranging from the weakest mook to the Bonus Boss of some of the RPG series. The fights are run by one of the Quirky Miniboss Squad, Roy Koopa, adopting his dumb jerk persona from the Super Mario Bros. 3 TV show, along with perennial Chew Toy Larry Koopa, who also serves as predictor, announcer Kamek, and Pokey, the cactus of few words and immense popularity. The fights update on Saturdays and have been running for eight years so far.

You can find it here.

Alternate Character Interpretation: For the most part the fighters use their characters from the series, but ones without much character get something written in; for example, X-naut PHD as Gordon Freeman.
Ensemble Darkhorse: Pokey, as well as Wind Crystal in the previous season.
Once an Episode: The fighters give catch phrases, the bell rings, and something horrible happens to Larry.
Wrong Genre Savvy: Recurring fighter Shy Guy believes the world operates according to fighting game rules. Normally, he plays by Smash rules but on occasion switches to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.
