The Bro-Down Showdown stage.
The Bro-Down Showdown is a program that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a game show hosted on Bygone Island where pairs of best friends compete to test how well they know their partner.
Description
Bro-Down Showdown's logo.
Bro-Down Showdown is a live television quiz show where pairs of friends (referred to as "bros") compete against each other to show how much they know about each other. The winners will receive a narratively convenient price.[1]
The show can be held in varying locations. The show has Comedy Chimp as the host and off-screen judges. Before each show, the staff questions the participants to gather facts to use for the competition. The partner of the questioned participant does not know what facts has been said.[1]
Rules
Four pair of friends can participate for each game. During the show, the host asks one from each pair a question about their partner which they must answer. If the contestant answers correctly, the pair earns ten points. If a contestant gives a false answer to a question the host can ask, and the partner provides the actual answer to said question, it still counts as correct (Lady Walrus got point for saying Dave worked in the fast food industry even though Dave said that he was a supervillain). The pair with the least points at the end of a round get eliminated (or "bro-liminated). This continues until a winner is found.[1]
The show strongly follows the "bro code." That means that if one or both members of a pair start fighting with each other, directly or indirectly, they are instantly disqualified.[1]
History
TV series
When the Bro-Down Showdown was held in the Village Center, with the prize being a new couch, several people met up at the audition. In the end, four pair proved suitable: Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman, Knuckles the Echidna and Mike the Ox, the Stuntbears, and Dave the Intern and Lady Walrus. Sonic and Knuckles in particular wanted the couch to replace Amy's.[1]
After the first round of the show, the Stuntbears and Knuckles and Mike got eliminated. Amidst the show though, Obliterator Bot attacked the Village. However, if Sonic fought it, he would be disqualified for fighting his partner, which Eggman had planned all along to keep Sonic at bay. When Sonic still chose to fight though, Dave and Lady Walus won by default, though they quickly stained their prize.[1]
