In the planet of Muck, you're hard-pressed to find a bigger sport than SmashMuck, the brutal, fast-paced, no-holds-barred team-based beat-down as an assortment of Champions, one team Red, the other team Blue, try to steal the enemy's Plunderball while guarding their own, duke out for control in Conquest, wreck the enemy's towers and base while preventing the same from happening to theirs in Siege, assist their very own mechanized monster destroy the other team's juggernaut in Destroyer, or just work together to survive the Gauntlet.
The Game Provides examples of:
- Black Comedy: Rife with it. Just reading through a couple of the characters' back-stories reveals just how sick, twisted, and rowdy this world really is.
- Crapsaccharine World: Despite its extremely bright, cheery appearance, plenty of people have been killed and/or injured outside of the arena. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume SmashMuck was invented as a way to profit from the most dangerous and psychopathic people on planet Muck. And then you have the likes of Simon Welk, a major sponsor of the game...
- Science Fantasy: It's safe to say that, if it has ever existed in reality or fiction, proven or unproven, it exists in planet Muck.
- Suicide Mission: How Scathe was blackmailed into joining. The Game Master sent a team to distract him (Scathe) while the magician sneaked into the dragon's cave.
