XMAS CHALLENGE Day 9: JANE vs MIKE! 🎄 Tournament of Champions 2024

[@sleepytime999998]

The real Christmas spirit is Jane's chanting, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" at Mario.

[@mar_speedman]

Jane, single handedly keeping the christmas spirit alive :D

[@ashleewright6373]

"Nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who, above all else, desire power."

[@nutsymcgregor]

Yes, sure that is what, closet Lord of the Rings fan, Andy was referencing.

[@mattotterpop]

Shout outs to the whole team for keeping the tournament continuity by clearing dressing in the same outfits every day, and definitely not recording these all at once! Thank you for keeping my immersion!

[@jenkinsonian]

It is like Tom Scott's grey hoodie, but festive

[@Wariosmustache]

I noticed that! One of the first videos I think had different sweaters. Maybe. I’ve seen several now and might be mixing it up with a normal video of theirs

[@SelenaBuffandeau]

2:29 "Oh no, it's our own little ocean gate" broke me😂

[@LavaCastle]

Same, made me spit my drink out a bit

[@DavidRhysWallace]

I swear Jane has some of the best little quips in their videos, many of which seem to go unnoticed!

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

Andy better be in the Pikachu drawing challenge.

[@Bluessoulphoenix]

This might not happen but I think it'd be so funny for Luke to judge it 😂

[@Leith_Crowther]

@@BluessoulphoenixOr a solo challenge, where the competitor only gets a point if their Pikachu is judged to be better than Luke’s.

[@WhatTheFirstAidSpray]

Who is this "Luke" you speak of? There have only every been four OxboXtra presenters. Four. JK miss your content every week Luke. Hope the new channel is everything you dreamed of.

[@NekotheKitty]

I swear, if tomorrow isn't Andy and Ellen drawing Pikachu's, I'm gonna have a real Oxmas issue. Mostly me crying while singing "Nine gold rings" on repeat.

[@CrowsILike]

I'm hoping it's one of the free-for-all challenges - no way to escape then!

[@DavidBanuelos]

At least Jane got plenty of good screenshots.

[@FonzietheCapybara]

Jane really captured the moment this round!

[@dee...]

She's keeping receipts

[@Wickerrman]

"GET HIM OFF!" "...Phrasing...!"

[@dallydaydream]

See what Jane has done here is perfectly position herself as the underdog in time for a Christmas miracle comeback

[@Lavolpeengreece]

My favorite part of the episode: GET HIM OFF, GET HIM OFF , PHRASING😭😭

[@marhawkman303]

yeah... the person who said "phrasing" clearly has a dirty mind. :/

[@kyleshaw5186]

And Mario got himself off in the end 😂

[@Roz390]

Andy singing about rings was way funnier to me than it should've been.

[@krispiccini6046]

Jane with zero points: "I dont need to look at the scoreboard, because I know what it is. It's a big old goose egg gang!"

[@BudBonkerson]

I CANNOT WIN!

[@Zakkleberg]

I love watching all of the people here playing games and riffing on it. Reminds me of when I had friends I could hang out with

[@landonewts]

I feel that, none of my friends play games, and they’re all very busy. (I am too, but I’m retired and it’s different.) I’m trying to get a Fallout 76 run going with a pal who live a few towns away, but so far we haven’t gotten it going.

[@alastorcorvus]

I now realise that Mario Party is basically Mushroom Kingdom's Squid game, specially the Shy Guy minigame, lol

[@cribb]

On the ninth day of Christmas, Oxboxtra gave to me: Nine moles a-leaping, Eight Radahn sword swings, Seven perverts dancing, Six zombie killings, Five Marios, Four failed hot chocolates, Three astro bots, Two panda punches, And a Port Vale pretzel scoring

[@15Rystad]

19:15 pretty sure you can see Ellen considering her phrasing here

[@THExLIFExISxTOxSHORT]

hahaha you're right

[@ptonpc]

I think they have finally lost their minds and we are all here for it :) Geez, that got REAL dark!

[@brentage5000]

I'm seriously on edge at this point in the tournament. How much longer until we see (Mike) and (Andy) take on the Pikachu challenge!

[@Black_Rook]

0:33 Andy: “Nine go-old rings” Ellen: “To the men of…” Twelve drummers, eleven pipers under the sky; Ten lords a-leaping about like fools; Nine rings for mortal men doomed to die; Eight for the milk maids on their milk stools; Seven for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone; Six rings for geese a-laying in their nest; Five rings of gold that all wish to own; Four for the black birds singing their best; Three rings for the Elven-kings, two doves to find them; One Ring to bring them all and with a partridge bind them, In the land of pear trees where the shadows lie.

[@simianimp]

If they keep a certain challenge, this might just mean Andy finally has to draw a Pikachu!

[@TheYorkRose]

Yay for these longer videos! And I'm so glad mario party was one of the challenges, what a great time 😁

[@MrMBinder]

Rosalina, aka. _The Thinking Woman's Peach_ 🥰

[@NisansaDdS]

Ah such a call back.

[@kytamura]

It always brings me a little joy when Jane plays as the queen of space

[@frodobaggins7710]

Ah, Mario Party. Where the only true way to ensure fairness is to rip up the rulebook and improvise

[@ShieTar_]

Ah yes, Mario Party: Hunger Games. Every-bodies 15 minute dystopian Nightmare.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Poor Jane, it really isn't her year so far.

[@soulreapermagnum]

"keep jane pointless"

[@stevecole90099]

Maybe they'll do Mario Party rules this year, where at the end John just hands out a bunch of non-sense points and Jane ends up winning somehow.

[@soulreapermagnum]

@@stevecole90099 that would be hilarious

[@TheLiamster]

It’s Ellens year so that makes me happy

[@TheYorkRose]

I'm wondering if they have retired hitman for the elusive target video and retired pikachu drawing to commemorate Luke lol, so maybe a GTA race or gangbeasts style party animals thing could be next?

[@DragonSword001]

All the gold rings chat makes me a little disappointed that there wasn't some kind of Sonic challenge for today.

[@Zoso14892]

"People nearby" is such an ominous way of phrasing that.

[@Rubrickety]

So far Luke is still keeping pace with Jane!

[@Teallen96]

Day 9 of waiting for the accustomed Hitman christmas challenge where chaos will reign... I also can't wait for them to take on the new celebrity Elusive target as well!

[@heroshadow42]

I hear “Never Let it go” and I think of how the chorus to Let it Go works so well with Crush 40’s Never Turn Back. Although I’d call that mashup Let it Turn Back since Never Let it Go is Metal Sonic’s theme in the Fighters.

[@TheLoneSniperPro]

Mike: “I’m so bad at Mario Party mini games.” Psychological mind games I see, Mike. Well played.

[@GaryCurnowII]

Isn’t Elsa Rosalina-coded? I thought Rosalina came first.

[@amagicalduck155]

Yeah Super Mario Galaxy is 6 years older than Frozen

[@loveletterz]

Frozen is based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale. Never heard of either one being coded of each other before this comment.

[@alexanderhansen659]

On the ninth day of OXmas, the algorithm served me: Mario Party! ... (etc.)

[@MrUkraider]

Jane vs Mike, now the real party begins as this competition really heats up as we get perilously closer to Christmas itself, still all to play for here good luck to both of you, let's be having it. Ah Mario Party, the true leveller of competitions, challenges and yes, sometimes even ruining friendships as It goes on, but it must be conquered and mastered nonetheless to win Christmas 🎄 itself. Nicely done Mike, you did it very well.

[@niceguy169]

Had a brain hiccup for a sec... Thought "Day 9... Scores add up to 6" (I've ended up memorizing 1 + 2 + 3, also up to 4, and continuing the totals have a synergy), figured it should be one per day, so 8 before today. Then I remembered the solo rounds were win or lose, two losses, adds up to 8. I'm happy now. :) I've been really enjoying Ellen dying of laughter as a spectator, LOL!

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

KEEP MONTY POISONED!!!! wait...

[@Michael_Lindell]

Waluigi the Pinball Wah-zard.

[@SquirrelSeb84]

From Toad Town to Plack Beach, he must have played them all

[@katherinebarber711]

But I ain't seen nothing like him in Mario Party hall

[@Ranerdar]

Part of the tiny controller problem is you don't have the slide part on the top of the Joy-Con. But still a fun episode.

[@ivanterrible7362]

Go Jane! You can still win this .

[@jayme3181]

Did you press the triangular button in the bottom left corner?

[@mortua_conjuga]

9 lords of rings

[@kdjslvgds]

poor jane! having the roughest of christmas challenges

[@Michael_Lindell]

JANE vs MIKE aka NELLIE vs GUEST. Woo! Go GUEST!

[@99newtons]

Is Jane working on a delay 😂 the delay in the drums was hilarious

[@AndyD773]

Always enjoy the Nineside Ringbox Ninemas Ringenge

[@dee...]

I thought we were watching the Outnine Xgold Chrisrings Tournine ogold Champrings?

[@NoXp3rt]

Mike domination. But love that you chose the showdown minigames mode for this. It's so perfect

[@TMAC_burninator]

Jane did so well despite everything.

[@NurmYokai]

'Nine rings' "Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die." on Christmas card from Sauron ...

[@justanotheranimeprofilepic]

I love Ellen yelling "phrasing"

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

I'm hoping we will see challenges for Garfield Party and Trombone Champ

[@samuxan]

I feel bad for the CPU never winning

[@michaelskatharoudis9201]

Mike saying he’s bad at Mario party was basically hustling

[@carriethepink1034]

Yey well done Mike

[@dee...]

Wow, Squid Games 2 looks brutal! Not sure why Mario is in it though.

[@harathon13]

That started out with me thinking Jane had that in the bag, the Mike showed us why he was last years king

[@esteban280889]

I think these minigames are the ones from when you are trying to win partners on the normal game

[@rwithee]

Poor Jane, but the Christmas King deserved his point.

[@jamezilla]

I remember the original version of that flag game, where you were just cut loose from a sailing ship!

[@GeniusTL]

Ellen’s laugh is my favorite part of these videos! She’s absolutely adorable☺️Love the content guys! Keep up the astounding work!

[@jimbob8840]

What's the traditional Christmas punishment if Jane fails to get a point? Eggnog chug? Wear a Rudolph nose for a month? Ice bucket challenge?

[@dee...]

She has to play Garfield pizza party alone in a dark room. 😂

[@anna-little-bird]

Go, Jane, go!

[@SlyRatchet4]

Mario knew that the only thing stronger than Nintendo's lawyers are Disney's lawyers and so threw himself off the side to let Elsa win 😹

[@44Speck]

Donkey Konga was such a great game on the game cube.

[@iLied12]

These are the Jamboree buddy trials! I recognise Wario’s!

[@EST84x]

Here for the disdain Andy has for any character in this game.

[@ea122]

Bonus points for screen captures!

[@Jearonimo1216]

9 rings? Oh yeah. "Nine for mortal men doomed to die." J.R.R. Tolkien

[@brendanowicki3821]

It’s like a matryoshka of mini games

[@Bananahammock681]

Yay! Jane finally got Mario off! Nice one~

[@cookiedudegaming]

Doesn't Bowser Junior know cluster munitions are against the Geneva convention?

[@amagicalduck155]

Yes pinball is a Sonic thing but it's also been Waluigi's thing since Mario Kart DS

[@SlowxParentsCrossing]

Xhibit: Yo, I heard you like mini games so I put mini games inside your mini games

[@rorysmith9857]

It's obviously Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky.

[@Giga-lemesh]

The shoulder buttons would be less tiny if they used the attachments

[@timmick6911]

Happy Happy 😊

[@jaxon_the_nerd]

This s great

[@kahunab7400]

Will Mike remain the King of Christmas?

[@Musive99]

I, too, feel like I'm going mad.

[@WavingWorld]

Let's GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[@draygoon69]

It's been awhile since I've played a Mario Party game. It's gotten intense.

[@JoaoPessoa86]

Chronologically Elsa is Rosalina coded

[@pockylovingranger]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL AT MARIO YEETING HIMSELF AT THE END xD

[@MunchKING]

I'm pretty sure it's 9 Ladies Dancing.

[@jembozaba4864]

Of course DK has the best game. He's my favourite Mario character

[@FabledFew]

Jane is being robbed this year.

[@docette2015]

Oh man, so many minigames crammed into twenty-two minutes...and you know what, Ellen, you are SPOT ON with the "Taskmaster" comment -- that whole "copy the flags" business is EXACTLY the kind of thing I could see Alex forcing unfortunate comedians to do. XD (And if Greg could suspend them from balloons and then shoot them down when they got the flags wrong, he totally would.)

[@danieljohn9257]

6:17 If I was friends with this group, I would totally be like Mike where everybody would be rooting for whoever I was playing against. Sad but true. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@timidwolf]

Not surprised they struggled with the DK game, their remotes didn't have the should button adapters on.

[@Dragonmann23]

Jane is playing on your account Ellen?

[@zacharysmith4856]

A new kind of min-maxing for this one.

[@grindsaur]

Nine Nazgûl a'leaping...

[@shadowcat1606]

Mario Party is basically the Moon Knight-"Random BS go"-meme of games.

[@deanmcdougall5331]

Jane would have won if she never stopped at the end of the bonus round!

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

Mikes first mistake was not playing Spike.

[@Liamishly]

I love Jane but she’s gonna end this whole thing with not a single point 💀

[@BasicOtter]

Will anyone be able to play as Luigi for the rest of time without … you know ….

[@jgg75]

Mario Squid Games...

[@troylentz6580]

How can the goomba play the bongos?

[@bretth342]

Ellen has one hell of a lot more faith in her friends than I do to let them play on her account
