That is a correct answer! American Pie is a modern film classic, inspiring the likes of M. Night Shyamalan and Stanley Kubrick, as well as a Don McLean song that appeared in the movie "Roadhouse". But did it net you a low score?

Spoiler:
Stars and YearSong/Movie TitleArtist and Album
Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek (1995)Eagles - [Eponymous]
Jason Biggs, Chris Klein (1999)
American Pie (68)
Don McLean - [Eponymous]
Robert Downey, Jr., Jeff Bridges (2008)Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt (1985)Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
Vincent Price, David Hedison (1958)U2 - Achtung Baby


On the high end, but Klick and racefan will need to get one right for sure to have a chance at staying in the game.


Klick and racefan, you're up.

Since neither of us believe we'll be able to come up with anything else, we're gonna go with Iron Man for the Robert Downey Jr/Black Sabbath one.

Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey Jr. did star in Iron Man in 2008, and the song by Black Sabbath was famously covered by guitarguy666's video on YouTube "Top 13 coolest guitar riffs I can play". But was it obscure enough to tie up the game?

Spoiler:
Stars and YearSong/Movie TitleArtist and Album
Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek (1995)Eagles - [Eponymous]
Jason Biggs, Chris Klein (1999)
American Pie (68)
Don McLean - [Eponymous]
Robert Downey, Jr., Jeff Bridges (2008)
Iron Man (48)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt (1985)Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
Vincent Price, David Hedison (1958)U2 - Achtung Baby


It was a good enough answer to tie up the game 2-2! Let's see the rest of the board.

Stars and YearSong/Movie TitleArtist and Album
Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek (1995)
Desperado (32)
Eagles - [Eponymous]
Jason Biggs, Chris Klein (1999)
American Pie (68)
Don McLean - [Eponymous]
Robert Downey, Jr., Jeff Bridges (2008)
Iron Man (48)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt (1985)
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (26)
Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
Vincent Price, David Hedison (1958)
The Fly (5)
U2 - Achtung Baby


If you were able to come up with The Fly at home, great job.

Klick and racefan will go first. The topic you'll be trying to guess for is...

Mario Games


To be more specific, you're attempting to name any game with at least one of the following criteria: 1) Mario is in the title of the game, 2) Mario is a playable character in the game at some point. There's dozens of possible answers you can go for with this one, but which will be the most obscure?

We'll hold off on revealing the score of either answer until both teams have gone. For increased dramatic effect.

(This is by far the round that gives the most leeway in terms of directions to go, and also the one we thought would provide the most level playing field)

First, Klick and racefan said Mario's Time Machine. Is that a real game, and if so, how low of a score did it achieve?

Spoiler:
9 points!
Respectable, but with this category, it is certainly beatable.


Cephrir and Radja answered with Yoshi's Cookie, a game I had sure as hell never heard of. Had anyone else?

Spoiler:
That answer scored
12 points
, shockingly to me personally, meaning Klick and racefan win the final point and the Brawl.

Cephrir and Radja, both of you have been incredible, and at this point losing anyone is heartbreaking. But we thank you immensely for sticking around and fighting it out as hard as you could.
