Summary

Yellow decides to teach the other stick figures how to use redstone. After various lessons, he organizes a contest for the best redstone circuit. Red builds a pig washer, Blue creates a Nether wart farm, while Green and TSC start competing with each other, building games more complex each time, until TSC builds a 2D Minecraft game, while Green builds a full-on 3D Minecraft. However, Yellow gives the trophy to Red.

Tropes

  • Amusing Injuries:
    • During the redstone class at the beginning, Yellow takes everyone by surprise by having the floor fall out below them to take them to different classrooms.
    • During the lesson on "Outputs", everyone gets smacked by their respective output; Red gets hit with a door, Blue gets tossed upward on a piston, the Second Coming gets hit by a dispensed snowball, and Green gets tripped by a minecart.
    • When Yellow is waiting for everyone to finish building, he's idly tossing his redstone torch. At one point, he catches the lit end of it, burning his hand.
  • Brick Joke: The Second Comings's first redstone creation is a game of whack-a-mole, with some wool on a stick serving as the hammer. After both he and Green lose, he hands Green a consolation trophy, rigged to hit him with that same hammer.
  • Call-Back: Green's first contraption is a game of DanceDanceRevolution playing the song from Note Blocks.
  • Dark Horse Victory: We're led to believe either the Second Coming or Green will win the redstone contest. The winner ends up being Red's pet washer.
  • Hidden Depths: Yellow might be the team redstone expert, but Green and the Second Coming prove proficent enough at it to make functioning versions of several classic games.
  • Serial Escalation: The Second Coming's and Green's redstone contraptions. The Second Coming makes Whack-a-Mole, then sees that Green made DanceDanceRevolution, so he tears his down and makes Pong. Green sees this and tears down his game to make Tetris. When it comes time for Yellow to judge everyone, we see that the Second Coming made Terraria while Green actually made Minecraft.
