RFBOWR: Nitro Mania

Note: The opinions shared by Red Fork and Blue Ocean in this review are for entertainment purposes only.

At Red Fork and Blue Ocean's house, Red Fork sits down while eating some popcorn, while Blue Ocean sits down, ready to greet the audience.
 * Blue Ocean: Hello everyone! Welcome to the first episode of Red Fork & Blue Ocean's Wacky Reviews! Today we're going to start by reviewing one of the stories requested by PeaVZ108. The story's name is Nitro Mania.
 * Red Fork: Now, let's start by reading the story's plot:

 ''Eitbit, the arcade world, has been attacked by unknown forces and suffered huge losses. Evidence points to...the Locked Room gang? Starcade is shocked and angered upon hearing the news, and she decides to gather a group of her friends known as the Retro Rebels to retaliate. The gang themselves are confused at the events that are taking place before them, knowing that they wouldn't go as far as attacking another world. How will things turn out, and who is truly behind this madness?''


 * Red Fork: So basically, Eitbit is attacked by someone, and the evidence points at the Locked Room Gang. This makes Starcade believe the Locked Room Gang attacked Eitbit, so she goes with her allies to fight them back. Sounds good.

 ''The story begins with a giant shadow looming over the pixel paradise known as Eitbit. It is revealed to be a pink robot, with an obese man in a business suit controlling it.''
 * Blue Ocean: An obese man inside a robot? It's Eggman!
 * Red Fork: No Blue Ocean, it's not.
 * Blue Ocean: Ok, but it sure reminds me of Eggman.
 * Red Fork: Anyway, he's the Nitrome Boss, as you will see later in the story. He attacks Eitbit with an army of mini-robots. Wait a moment... an army of mini-robots...
 * Blue Ocean: It's Bright Spark!
 * Red Fork: No, Bright Spark is not an obese man.
 * Blue Ocean: Ok, but Bright Spark does remind me of Eggman.
 * Red Fork: Can we focus on the story, please?

 ''???: Come out, come out wherever you are! I know you're here! Get out of your hiding spots else your town goes down!''
 * Blue Ocean: Wait, who is he talking to?
 * Red Fork: Beats me. So far, the story intro seems to be going for a mystery feeling, since it keeps the villain's identity a secret. Still, it would be nice if this line of dialogue was explained a bit more.
 * Blue Ocean: So, the scene then cuts to Starcade and Kyoji fighting Re-Peat Boss.

 Kyoji takes out his phone and takes a selfie of Kyocade defeating Re-Peat Boss.
 * Starcade: You...you saved me! Thank you!
 * Kyoji: Hey, what are friends for? I solemnly promise to protect my friends no matter what.
 * Starcade: Do you mean it?
 * Kyoji: From the bottom of my heart, indeed. I also promise to stay by your side even if times seem tough for the both of us.
 * Starcade: That's so great to hear! Hey, how about we capture our moment of triumph!
 * Kyoji: Sure, let's stand in front of the robot!
 * Kyoji: That's a keeper.
 * Blue Ocean: Ok, first of all... Kyocade is one of my favorite ships!
 * Red Fork: Mine too. I do like the dialogue Starcade and Kyoji have. However, the selfie part was kind of weird.
 * Blue Ocean: Hey! You only say that because you're not into taking selfies. I love doing it!
 * Red Fork: Yeah, ok, I guess.

 ''Starcade: I'm so glad Toby gave me those scissors! Now I can travel back and forth without no trouble. Now then...*lands near the Star Fighters arcade cabinet, and in a cheery tone* I'm baaaaaaaack!!!''
 * Red Fork: Now here's where it all happens. Starcade sees Eitbit destroyed, and her fellow Star Fighters unconscious.

 ''Starcade: What...what hapoened here? Probably it's just Mini Bang and his constant galactic bombs. He'd be awake if he was really the one who caused this.''
 * Blue Ocean: Typo at "hapoened".
 * Red Fork: Yes, but besides that, grammar has been pretty good so far. Not perfect, but pretty good, I must say.

 Starcade returns to her arcade cabinet and wastes no time in searching for evidence. Starcade spots a paper airplane on a nearby desk. ''Starcade bursts into tears for a moment while crushing the paper airplane in her hand. After getting over her depression, she goes to her room and takes out a set of battle armor.''
 * Starcade: Whoever did this to my friends will pay a hefty price! But I'm not one to judge by instincts. I'll just have to look for any necessary evidence!
 * Starcade: *scoops some ink she found* Ink? Jenny was here? No, it can't be, it might be Galaximus. They are sisters after all. Oh well, there's got to be definitive evidence. *finds a piece of purple thread* Isn't this the piece of purple thread similar to the one Kyoji found? Oh wait, that's Dark Green Shadow, but then again it might be Green Shadow. Gah, this is too overwhelming! *finds an element of harmony* Is that an element of harmony? That belongs to Red Fork! That might be fake, but then again it can be real. These pieces of evidence are telling me something that I don't want to know, right?
 * Starcade: How did that get here? *reads the contents of the paper airplane* "Dear Starcade, we are here to inform you that we have come to an unanimous decision to kick you out of the team. The destruction of your hometown you have just witnessed is a warning that all information on this piece of document is confirmed. Please leave the Locked Room gang or war will be declared on your hometown. All terms and conditions are effective immediately. Signed, Gerald B. Edmarkson." GERALD WROTE THIS?! This...this...this can't be...the Locked Room gang did this?
 * Starcade: If they want a war with Eitbit, they've got one! I remember wearing this rebel armor when I once led a rebel team, the Retro Rebels, against Olympus the Champion, before of course I lost it when I was eventually captured. Now that I have it back, I'm going to go to Echo Creek and tell the gang about my decision! It's time I reassemble...the Retro Rebels!
 * Red Fork, Ok, so first, Starcade decides to look for evidence. And the evidence is conveniently placed there for her to find.
 * Blue Ocean: Ok, so she finds ink from an inkling.
 * Red Fork: Though to be fair, if the ink could have been from Jenny or Galaximus, that ink could have been from any inkling. Even from Ink Splash!
 * Blue Ocean: Then she finds a piece of purple thread.
 * Red Fork: And it points out to belonging to Dark Green Shadow or Green Shadow? I mean, I don't think they're the only ones we know that wear something purple that could have left that purple thread.
 * Blue Ocean: Then she finds an element of harmony, meaning you were here, Red Fork.
 * Red Fork: Ok, stop right here. I've got something brief to explain. The elements of harmony are powerful and magical objects. I'd never leave one of those behind. Plus, there's only six of them, so if I had not taken them all with me, I would have definitely noticed. This here is the most crucial sign that it's all a fake.
 * Blue Ocean: Anyway... Starcade sees a paper airplane with something written on it. It's supposed to be a letter from Jelo, saying that the Locked Room Gang has decided to kick her out of the team, and that the destruction of Eitbit is a warning that the information is confirmed.
 * Red Fork: I think the Nitrome Boss hasn't done a good job faking the Gang. Attacking Eitbit to prove what we say is true? I don't know. Still, it works for Starcade, as she believes the letter and the apparent evidence. So she decides to reassemble the Retro Rebels.
 * Blue Ocean: So far, the story is interesting. Personally I think the fake evidence could have been done better, so as to portray the gang more accurately. It's clear that the Nitrome Boss doesn't know the gang very well.
 * Red Fork: Ok, so after that, the scene cuts to the gang having breakfast. Star adds lots of syrup to her pancakes, while Red Fork eats ten dozens of pancakes. Everything normal so far.


 * Starcade: I just want to inform you that I'm aware of your actions against Eitbit. You've offended us.
 * Jelo: We? Tell me, what do you think we did?
 * Red Fork: Against Eitbit? What do you mean?
 * Blue Ocean: I have the feeling that you're not gonna want to play videogames with me today, Starcade.
 * Starcade: I'm not in the mood for that!
 * Red Fork: Starcade then hacks into Green Shadow's phone to send a message to the gang.
 * Blue Ocean: Oh, I remember that! She accused us of attacking Eitbit.
 * Red Fork: *reads Blue Ocean's line, and stares at him* Videogames, seriously? Was that what you were worried about?
 * Blue Ocean: Sorry, after you, Starcade is who I play videogames with the most.


 * Starcade: I promise you, I didn't. And as for you, Red Fork, I have found an element of harmony here. *shows the element of harmony she has found next to a fallen Star Fighter*
 * Red Fork: Wait, but how? As the guardian of harmony, I never leave an element thrown around. I always keep them with me. In fact, I'm sure that if I go for the chest, all six elements are there!
 * Jaiden: Something seems off.
 * Blast: Yeah, really off.
 * Starcade: Well, maybe it might be Fake Fork, but I can't blame anyone else for having lost an element of harmony. Oh, by the way, Green Shadow! I have a piece of purple thread from your cape!
 * Green Shadow: I didn't go to your estate lately.
 * Starcade: *shows a piece of purple thread* What do you have to say to this?
 * Green Shadow: That's not mine!
 * Red Fork: Here we go again. An element of harmony is way too important to be left thrown around. Not even Bright Spark does that, and I thought he was bad at choosing where to put them.
 * Blue Ocean: Wait, isn't Fake Fork dead?
 * Red Fork: Yeah, he is, but I can't blame anyone for not knowing.
 * Blue Ocean: And then there's the purple thread.
 * Red Fork: Though as I said before, that purple thread isn't necessarily from Green Shadow's cape. It could be from anyone who wears something purple!
 * Blue Ocean: Yeah, I know it sounds like we're complaining a lot, but we're really enjoying the story. We just think that the fake evidence couldn't have been executed better. So far the letter is the closest thing to evidence towards the gang.

 (Under Construction)
 * Kyoji: No. This can't be. Starcade's only doing this because she's helping her hometown! I refuse to believe she'll turn on us.
 * Red Fork: That's pretty much what she's doing, Kyoji.
 * Blue Ocean: Yeah, she left it clear in the message. I know about Kyocade, but come on!
 * Red Fork: After this, the gang decides to split up in teams. One team will go help Starcade realize that the gang would never attack Eitbit, while the other teams go stop the Retro Rebels that are invading Echo Creek.
 * Blue Ocean: You know? I like the thing recent stories have about the gang spliting up in smaller teams. This usually leads to a stronger bonding between characters on the same team, and it avoids making the fights way too one-sided.
 * Red Fork: Now comes what I think is my favorite part of the story: The Gang vs each of the Retro Rebels!
 * Blue Ocean: So far, the plot of the story has been pretty interesting. I do have my doubts about the fake evidence, but the rest of the plot so far is pretty good.
 * Red Fork: The grammar is also pretty good. So without further ado, the gang splits up in their agreed teams, and the battles begin!
