Line 17:
They had a ''[[Mario Tennis|Mario Power Tennis]]'' tournament next, before LP #5. It had 6 guest players. Three were returning from the Brawl Tournament and three were newcomers. The champion of this tournament was {{spoiler|Chugga}}.
LP #5 is ''[[
At PAX East 2012, they had their own panel, called ''Thrown Controllers'', a competition in the style of Nick Arcade. Two teams (Team Mario and Team Sonic) take turns answering questions and playing video game challenges, either against each other, solo, or against members of the audience. The final, decisive game was a round of Pong, which was won by {{spoiler|Team Mario}}.

=== Games the Runaway Guys have Let's Played include: ===
Line 83:
* [[Irony]]: In [[Mario Party]], Chugga plays as Donkey Kong, who's a monkey. He has the least [[Butt Monkey]] moments of them all.
** In [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|New Super Mario Bros. Wii]], [[Proton Jon]] is Blue Toad, but is a [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]].
* [[
* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: Jon's reaction of "Move faster, Pokey!" is referenced in Mario Party.
** [[Josh Jepson]] claims that he's been hearing it "all his life" when Chugga starts singing, "[[The Jetsons|Meet Josh Jepson...]]"
Line 423:
** Zigzagged: Chugga manages a role reversal in episode 6, and it worked.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: In Episode 7, Chugga references the ending of Mario Party. The others immediately [[Lampshade]] this, and proceed to discuss it in greater detail.
* [[Late to
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Chugga will often cry this when anyone utters the words, "All right, let's do this." Sometimes he cuts himself off, saying he won't make the joke, only to fully do so a few minutes later.
** The trope actually occurs in the finale; while the others discussed how to get a particular star coin in World 9-5, {{spoiler|Josh}} rushed ahead to claim it while they weren't looking. {{spoiler|Subverted, though, because he [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|succeeded.]]}}
Line 495:
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Though generally everyone in the group has bouts of sociopathy, Jon is especially dedicated to [[Comedic Sociopathy|making his teammates suffer]]. See the Woobie Destroyer Of Worlds entry on YMMV for details.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Tim and Josh actually seem to improve as the game goes on, and by the end, during the harder stages, they end up helping out quite a bit.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup]]: They often end up sabotaging themselves by accident just by getting in each other's way. It's especially bad in levels that require precise jumps, where they end up bouncing off each other and knocking each other around.
* [[Trainwreck Episode]]: Episode 14. They can't go five minutes without being kicked out of the level for one reason or another.
Line 574:
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Early on in the Sea of Clouds, Jon (who is playing as Kirby) ends up hanging on a ledge at one point, prompting him to say "I'm just hanging around; literally." As soon as he finishes his sentence, a Glunder rolls up to him and attacks Kirby. Chugga lampshades Jon's misfortune.
{{quote|'''Chugga''': See? When you make bad puns, you get punished!}}
* [[Late to
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Chugga gets blown up ''a lot'' during episode 2. Justified, as [[Hoist by His Own Petard|he just can't stay away from]] [[Stuff Blowing Up|Smart Bombs]].
** It happens to him again in episode 4 and ends up giving them a [[Game Over]].
Line 736:
** [[Josh Jepson]] as well, getting beaten in the preliminaries by Jon and in the first loser's bracket round by Chugga, with neither of them breaking a sweat.
* [[Crisis Crossover]]: Of Let's Players.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: During the match between Tim and Donna on [[Metal Gear Solid|Shadow Moses Island,]] [[Metal Gear Solid 1|Metal Gear REX]] appears in the background. When Tim asks what it is, Chugga, who is [[M Cing]], states that it is a [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots|Gecko.]] This is [[Justified Trope|justified,]] as Chugga admits that he's never played a [[Metal Gear Solid]] game.
* [[Ending Fatigue]]: [[In-Universe]], the tournament starts to wear on some of the players, for going late into the night.
* [[Even Nerds Have Standards]]: Jon reacts this way when Chugga starts wondering if [[Slowbeef]] is basically the God of Let's Playing and Diabetus is Jesus.
