Oxtra Xmas Challenge Day 6: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020 Face-Off!

[@outsidextra]

Luke only needs one point to take this year's Oxtra xmas challenge, but Ellen won't give in without a fight. Time for an Olympic-grade showdown, featuring Mario and Sonic. Enjoy!

[@ApesWithEgos]

I call for a DQ on the final lap of swimming. Daisy rose above the water and flew her way there. I know it was freestyle, but freestyle swimming.

[@kallasantysanty6092]

That last one was confusing :) Anyway, congratz to the winner. I just have two more things to say: First, Wario is from Poland?!?! Wait, that does make sens :P Second, that football minigame is way more interesting, exciting and fun looking then any other football game i've ever seen or played. You should play it some more in the future :)

[@MrUkraider]

This is your game Luke, i believe in you and your olympic skills. Great choices Jon, i approve of them. Congrats on Christmas trophy luke, it suits you.

[@DonalvonGriffyn]

Sixteen thousandths of a second to decide this year's OXtra Oxmas Challenge. Couldn't have made it closer of you'd tried. Good job one and all, there are no losers this year. Except Mike, he failed everything.

[@subman23]

Producer John, I'm eating a turkey sandwich, too!!

[@Icam_here]

The commentary from Producer Jon during the soccer match is so brilliant

[@shawnheatherly]

What a close finish, that was insane. The game didn't even have time to update the places.

[@diegomarino]

Even the game was confused!

[@merepseu]

@David Bunge Being one sixtieth of a second - one frame of animation - I'd be very inclined to agree.

[@nikbol43below]

The problem with Bowser is that he always tries to walk it in.

[@ptonpc]

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

[@nymalous3428]

What was Ellen thinkin' sending Waluigi in?

[@ethanlappin]

Hooray Peach has kicked the ball, that dinosaur has it now, that's a development. I wonder if he'll kick the ball, he has indeed. Apparently that deserves a round of applause.

“Who could’ve predicted when the next Olympics were?” Oh, past Luke. If only you knew

[@jordanleighton6893]

They had two races won by less than a second, same went to penalty. This could not have been closer

[@src248]

50.7 is significantly more than a second faster than 52.3

[@jordanleighton6893]

Steven Chabot idrk about significantly, but you right. I misread. Still, a total of like 1.6 seconds between both races is still ridiculously close. Especially since it was also the last penalty.

[@bradreed4414]

I just love how much Jon was into this too lol

Come on Ellen! Come on Luke! Come on Donner, on Blitzen! On Comet, on Cupid- these gifts need delivering! What gifts you ask? Why, the gifts of fun, laughter and Grumpy Andy (I'll Take2 please!). Seriously, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

[@winkles2314]

Luke: Hey, Christmas challenge, this is fun. Ellen: I W I L L E A T Y O U R S O U L F O R V I C T O R Y

[@nickjeffery536]

It's no wonder that Ellen's team won the penalty shootout... it's hard to take penalties with a broken leg!

That finish on the swimming, so close the computer display didn't have time to flip 1st and 2nd position.

As an Australian, the summer sports make a lot of sense

I love your profile pic!

[@WhiteGloveBuilder]

Nothing helps more against feeling down than watching a Oxtra video and hearing Ellen laughing in the background ^^

[@WhiteGloveBuilder]

@Dahn Yeah, she is a natural talent in lifting spirits :) Her laugh is just so honest ^^

[@isupergirl]

Oh my word, the revenge of Tails kicking Dr. Eggman head over heels was hilarious!

[@julienarmand1473]

"This is like Peach defected and is now captaining a team of villains." Yes ... "Defected" ... *Look nervously at the dungeons filled with Toads held captive against their family's compliance*

[@ka-mai]

This was intense!! Congrats to the victor, your Pikachu was so creative this time, I loved it to bits (especially when bits started to fall down from it)!

[@MinnehahaSybyl]

"Who could have predicted when the next Olympics were?" Umm... I've got some strange news, 2019 Luke.

[@malcap]

Jon's commentary in the background made a great show even better. Merry Cristmas Oxtra. Also more Link's Awakening please.

[@baxter22071990]

will we see the showdown of luke vs either andy or jane to declare christmas suprem-ox-y?

[@Ulrican414]

The x family's challenges are one of my favorite Christmas traditions ever.

[@Drewsiph]

Luke's incredulous tone when he says "Strategy?!" is just so... Luke. You've trained him well, Mike

[@madalice5134]

I think we can all agree that the real champ this episode was Producer Jon, who, in the tradition of Oboxtra, has a great, contagious laugh.

[@thisisodsmith]

"What do you most think of most when you think of the Olympics?" ...not being allowed a can of Pepsi inside the Olympic Park?

Or using the wrong brand of ear buds gets you kicked out. Fake edit, seems they can use whatever, they just have to cover up the branding if it isn't from an official sponsor, if I understand correctly

[@AidanRatnage]

I love the fact that Sonic wears a buoyancy aid in the swimming event!

[@johnoneil9188]

I like how Waluigi could not get any country to let him represent it so he solely represents himself at the Olympics.

[@RustFox]

Rewatching this in October 2020. Luke:"Who could've predicted when the next Olympics were gonna be held." I mean...

[@duanegee7636]

i love that you tell when Ellen is in the zone, cause she goes silent...not a word while shredding on the skateboard

[@christinewebb8893]

I have only just caught up with this, but that last race was tight!! Really gutted for you, Ellen. Some controversy with the penalty shootout, but at least the makers didn't install VAR in the Football game.....This has been my fave Oxbox challenge for 2019.

[@rainbowmoon1461]

I’ve just realized that Daisy won a swimming race, by flying OVER the water. 😂😅

[@VonBlade]

I love how the deeper into these videos we go, the more alcohol has been consumed and/or the more demob happy the crew have got.

[@rashkavar]

Second closest race I've seen this month! (I watched a Hollow Knight speedrun tournament whose finale ended with 0.05 seconds difference) Well played, guys!

[@andrewknapton7665]

Luke: "who could have predicted when the next Olympics were?" Me, watching this video in 2021: "... 🤔"

[@docette2015]

You know, for a second there, I thought for SURE no one was going to score a single point in the football match. XD Good thing penalties exist, huh? And oh man, that upset with the swimming! I too thought that Waluigi had won until I looked back at the footage. You beat Ellen by literal hundredths of a second, Luke! That is incredible! :D Well, congrats on your Christmas win, buddy! Hopefully the last challenge shall go on just for funsies -- mostly because I want to see what it is. :)

Okay, this was brilliant. That football match was tense as heck, and that photo finish at the end with all the confusion was like a real-life sports moment. Congrats to Luke!

[@jhsand1515]

Congratulations Luke! Honestly, I've been hoping for a "before challenge 7" champ for years. I hope they do the last challenge tomorrow for the cheer of it!

[@paulharries9558]

SPOILERS Now that Luke has won Xmas, short things will be tall, tall things shall be taller still, just for him. Ellen shall live in a world of neck ache, as she shall be forever looking up. It will be a paradise of tall things. Just for Luke, and never again shall Ellen reach the kitchen cupboards.

[@jonathandavies1716]

Wow I can't belive Luke forsook Peach for the sake of "goes fast".

And it came in clutch for him at the end. Good choice indeed

[@ptonpc]

Spolier!!! It even said Waluigi was in 1st during the race end! It was that close

Having witnessed Luke and Ellen's footballing prowess I nominate them for the FIFA Giant Killing Challenges.

[@Rodrigo-ei4ht]

What an exciting finish. They both looked at the placement finishes that the game didn't update but not at the time table that correctly displayed the winner

[@cornlips7247]

Great video! So intense at the end there lol.

[@seanallerdings8147]

Congrats Luke on the photo finish. An ending so close not even the game had time to update the positions until the award ceremony.

[@Rodrigo-ei4ht]

Daisy's celebratory dancing in the pool made a lot more sense too after looking at the time table

[@joeschmo3844]

So that’s two xmases for Luke and two for Ellen, next year will be the tie breaking Xmas for the ages, TAKING ALL BETS!!!

[@ExcelExcel]

I feel like the Oxtra winner and Xtra winner should battle to the death to determine the true champion of christmas.

[@tomireland4740]

That was perfect. So glad when all contenders do well and it's a close match, and this couldn't have been any closer =D

[@hmoham]

Who knew Ellen was so Brutal in Football, she must have gone to Vinny Jones school of Football. Also bloody hell, I don't think the last race could be closer in the game, it's was 0.016 difference which just so happens to be the same as 1 frame of a game that is 60FPS. 1 bloody Frame, I don't think it is possible to be closer.

[@CaptQuinnPool]

It took me a moment to figure out why Ellen was swimming Fly. I always forget that Freestyle doesn't always mean Front Crawl. I learned that when we opened our first international swim school and all the Canadian instructors were looking at me like I was crazy. USA Freestyle = Front Crawl.

During the celebration for the skateboarding bit, it totally looked like Peach only had 1 arm (cause of her skateboard)... :D lol Totally thought for a moment Nintendo randomly cut off her arm... :O

Poor Ellen, you're still number 1 in my 💓

[@jaketheauroran]

After Luke's performance in the Mt Chiliad race, I feel he should be disqualified. Ellen is the winner in my book.

[@bschoner]

“Grind it, Peach!” Mario bellowed drunkenly from the sidelines as the Princess performed her “strips” for the roaring crowd.

[@ArtifiSir]

Every single character in this game has a completely different body proportion from each other, and they're put next to human shaped and sized objects, it's all just so very very strange 😆

[@jigglycarollo805]

14:37 Me: Come on Ellen, you know you wanna pull a counterattack on Luke. Dude's not gonna know how to defend against one. You have the advantage here. *Ellen picks counterattack* Me: YEEEESSSSS EDIT: Oh the hubris. "Why's my team on this end?" Because you're using counterattack tactics and Luke's team wasn't attacking. Too bad there's no Geigenpress setting.
