Jojolity-

Roxanne: Jojolity plays here are mostly confined to some wholesome interactions with some NPC’s but I think utilizing Task 3 to show off and play around with weird Mario Party items is a uniquely inspired approach to being entertaining in this match. She also does a pretty decent job at being both entertaining to the general crowd with her unique body/appearance, movements, and overall demeanor. “Being helpful to a handful through entertainment” is maybe a bit limited scope for a Jojolity thesis but given the nature of this match it’s also one that’s eminently reasonable. Gonna give Roxanne a high **8** for this.

Muuru: Yeah, so this is getting a **10**. Every single thing Muuru does in this strategy is solely informed by the purpose of “being entertaining”, to Muuru himself but also to his parasites, a begrudging ｢Diamond Life｣, and also the crowd with his inane, amusing “disguises”. It is beyond impressive how you managed to pull this off in a match with this many moving parts. Excellent job.

Jojolity

As for Jojolities, I’ll be brief. Muuru took the concept of entertainment and ran with it. Not only did he don multiple costumes throughout the match, but he also made sure that he was having fun the entire time, even risking his own chances of victory at times. There’s an infectious energy when reading his strat, a momentum that you can’t help but watch and wait to see what he does next. For absolutely committing to the bit, I’m giving this Jojolity a 10. Well done!

Onto Roxanne, we have a similar amount of dedication, but variety is certainly the name of the game. Whether she’s peddling a trinket or avoiding an attack from Muuru, Roxanne is constantly doing something fresh, opting to do something interesting and risky instead of something safe and consequently boring. Roxanne has a really versatile build and a natural charisma to her, both of which the Gallery used to their fullest. For that, I’m giving this Jojolity a 10. Well done!

Jojolity:

For a match with so many moving parts, the Jojolity, at least, is fairly straightforward and (from certain points of view) even easy to measure. With just how much goes into each of these strategies, entertainment value is a must not just for the Jojolity scoreboard, but also to keep reader engagement through 50,000 characters of dense text.

Starting with Muuru, a lot of the gags here are pretty funny - Kamen Rider Pension Plan is exactly what is sounds like to the uninitiated (it's me, I'm the uninitiated), Mr. Jekylhyde is a hilarious nickname to give oneself (even if I wish you continued adding more y's to it with each use), and of course Muuru's usual parkour antics are cranked up to eleven as he takes on the task of a Mario Party Any% Speedrun. It's great fun all around, and despite being divided into six sections it was a decently breezy read. From a less metanarrative point of view, Muuru's idea of using playing around as a source of improvement ties in seamlessly to the gameplay of the strategy, and provides a lot of very satisfying moments. Even if it isn't especially groundbreaking territory for Muuru to enjoy a spot of games, it still feels like the Jojolity explores a fun facet of Muuru as a character and elevates the strategy beyond what it would be without that glue. For that, I think it's highly deserving of a **9.**

As for Roxanne, the strategy here is definitely shorter, and it's equally pleasant to read through, with Roxanne's showmanship being a very entertaining piece throughout. There are plenty of mechanical moments that reinforce this, from the villain act in the mech to the various and increasingly crazy ways Roxanne peddles Louie's shop. You saw Mario Party match and decided to focus in on the "party," with Roxanne feeling like some kind of wooden emcee. Now I'm imagining Roxanne as DJ Hallyboo. This image is funny. Anyway, back to the point, Roxanne puts on a great show and definitely leans into the inherent inanity of real-world Mario Party as a concept, upping the ante with each minigame completed. I think another **9** is well-earned.
