'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' (Often referred to as the '''''Super Mario''''' series, or more simply the '''''Mario''''' series) is a Japanese video game franchise owned by [[Nintendo]] and created by Japanese video game designer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].   Most of the games in the series feature the adventures of Mario, an Italian plumber, on his quest to save the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom from a villain named Bowser. Acting as the company's mascot, as well as being the eponymous protagonist of the series, Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since his creation.
The '''SingStar Challenge''' was a video competition phase of the [[CWCivil War]], initiated by [[Solid Chris]]. Previously, Solid (posting under the YouTube handle [[IBAChandler]]) had attempted to reestablish his TRUE and HONEST identity with videos showcasing his multiple talents. This cunning plan backfired miserably, as [[Liquid Chris]] (posting as [[CChanSonichuCWC]]) outdid Solid's talents in his own videos. This included playing ''[[CWC More Than A Feeling#Response|More Than a Feeling]]'' on a real [[guitar]], shaming Solid's [[CWC More Than A Feeling|''Guitar Hero'' rendition]]. Butthurt that Liquid had an actual talent, Solid recognized that the clear solution was to formalize the contest, thus eliminating such dirty tricks.


Despite his obsessive [[Chris and brand loyalty|brand loyalty]], the fact that his former icon, [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], was made to rival Mario, that he hated the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' franchise precisely for this reason (seeing it as a competitor to ''Pokémon''), and [[Sonic Boom Protests|how he reacted]] when he felt that said icon was being defaced, he oddly never showed any grudge towards the plumber. In fact, Chris actually owns a good chunk of his games. It's entirely possible that Chris, owning multiple Nintendo and Sega consoles, was somehow blissfully unaware of Sega's aggressive marketing campaign positioning themselves as serious rivals to Nintendo (and later, Sony), or perhaps he simply did not care about it.

The SingStar Challenge was a video competition phase of the CWCivil War, initiated by Solid Chris. Previously, Solid (posting under the YouTube handle IBAChandler) had attempted to reestablish his TRUE and HONEST identity with videos showcasing his multiple talents. This cunning plan backfired miserably, as Liquid Chris (posting as CChanSonichuCWC) outdid Solid's talents in his own videos. This included playing More Than a Feeling on a real guitar, shaming Solid's Guitar Hero rendition. Butthurt that Liquid had an actual talent, Solid recognized that the clear solution was to formalize the contest, thus eliminating such dirty tricks.

The challenge would have a unique legacy among Christory, as it cemented the popular image of Liquid Chris as a relatively "harmless" troll in the eyes of many fans who look at the Classic Era with rose-tinted glasses. Years later, fans would recreate the story of the challenge as a mod to the ever-popular online rhythm game Friday Night Funkin'. Chris would eventually create his own spiritual successor after his extended stint in jail, challenging the vocals of an artificial intelligence version of his voice that could sing popular songs instead of Liquid Chris.
