Bowser Jr.s support is older then Kirby so it has higher priority in case you're wondering why they have the same amount of points yet Kirby is chosen to be #5. Though anyway Bowser Jr. is next up should nothing change a week from now

HALF WEEK WARNING
As of currently, we are slated for Mario being the final non-shroom section. With Bowser and Min-Min as our two characters in the Shroom. It's all very close though with only 2 points seperating between their placements. Any 2-3 votes for a different character could...
DIDDY KONG IS LOCKED IN!

Oh booooooooy, here we are with the character that probably caused the biggest negative uproar in terms of inclusions...
It's now time to open up voting for April's issue! As I said, Byleth's will still be coming shortly on Tuesday. And the Shroom will have Luigi and Jigglypuff on Saturday.

A heads up that Jigglypuff and Luigi are already submitted to the Shroom. Though I won't have Byleth's ready for a few more days. Anton did say it was ok for some hyperlinks to not be linked yet. For now, I'll put Dark Pit's up today, and then Byleth's on... maybe Tuesday? Either way though...
ALL CHARACTERS LOCKED IN!
Jigglypuff 44
Luigi 42
Byleth 34
Dark Pit 26
Duck Hunt 10
Jigglypuff and Luigi will be this month's Shroom characters! Byleth covered in a Non-Shroom section sometime after I post Dark Pit's.
LAST CALL!

Luigi and Jigglypuff currently set to be confirmed for this month's Shroom section tomorrow. (While it doesn't matter too much since both will make it in the Shroom if the score remains the same (Barring Byleth getting more...

It wasn’t too long ago where The Shroom hosted a contest between Dogs and Birds in the Shroomfest. In the end, Dogs were more popular, but Birds won...
HALF-WEEK WARNING
Sunday decides the Top 3! As of now, Luigi and Byleth will be in the Shroom if nothing else happens by Sunday. With Jigglypuff in the 3rd spot for the final non-Shroom section of this batch

DARK PIT IS LOCKED IN!
Luigi 34

Now we're a week away from deciding the Top 3 and thus the 2 going into the Shroom. At the moment it's looking like that'll be Luigi and Jigglypuff.
So... with 6 votes/vote changes that have drastically shaken up things. I'd thought it'd be a good idea to have an update post on our current Top 5.
Luigi 34
Jigglypuff 30
Dark Pit 26
Byleth 24
Duck Hunt 10
It is now Byleth slated to be locked in tomorrow currently
LAST CALL!

Banjo I think is the overall best inclusion out of all the Ultimate DLC. Though I also do really like Sephiroth the addition of more FF7 content just about justifies his inclusion entirely.
Some honorable mentions to Steve and Sora though. The former for being a pretty wacky, but still worthy...
DUCK HUNT IS LOCKED IN!
Luigi 28
Bowser 26
Captain Falcon 10
Min Min 10
Duck Hunt 10
Now we're a week from deciding #4. At the moment that'll be Min Min if nothing changes. (Cause Waluigi Time's first vote for Captain Falcon is older the either of the votes for Min Min)
Shulk and Snake now covered in the Shroom!
And once again, one last warning that tomorrow decides #5. Nothing has changed since the last post. So as it stands, Duck Hunt is still slated to be who'll be locked in.
HALF-WEEK WARNING!
Reminder that this Sunday decides who will be #5 of the fourth batch. Currently, there is a 3-way tie between Duck Hunt, Jigglypuff, and Dark Pit. (Technically 5-way. But both Captain Falcon and Min Min got to 10 via 2 people's vote. And that gives them an edge in the...
Tails and/or Crash Bandicoot. Though I take some solace in thinking they're likely to have good chances next time. I won't say they're both guarantees. But I'm firm in my belief that if Sephiroth happened, Tails most certainly can too. And ironically given I wouldn't have thought so prior to...
Whilst everybody's getting ready for the Super Bowl later today (...Or the puppy bowl or whatever activities if you're not watching the fesitivites for the big game tonight). It is now time to get into our voting for the March issue. As always, a week from now will lock in the character in 5th...

So, I've taken a look at the Mario Kart tour stage list now that it seems like that the Booster Pass is taking mainly from Mario Kart Tour. Even for courses that aren't in Tour that were announced are likely to be added to Tour eventually. Given Coconut Mall seems to match the aesthetic of the...

It’s a bit of a surprise to get to this one already and in a non-shroom section given how huge and well-known the Zelda franchise is. But regardless...
ALL CHARACTERS LOCKED IN! Snake and Shulk will be the featured characters in the Shroom! While I'll have Link, Mythra, and Rosalina covered here in the lead-up to it
Snake 34
