The prototype battle has a kaizo trap?... Forgot about this! No wonder it was nerfed last year.

Kaizo traps, for those who don't know, are stupid newb traps on extremely difficult stages in video games. It originates from Kaizo Mario (Revised Mario), a Super Mario World hack with level designs for super hardcore players. These can only be beaten with speedrunner tricks, careful timing and all that kind of shit. And, right at the end of each hellhole, you can be greeted by an unavoidable obstacle for any newcomers or stressed out players who just want to be done with this.

These game practices are banned from game design for a reason. This is a fanmade kind of challenge with no rhyme and reason. It's just there to piss people off and for the devs to get a cheap laugh.

Thankfully, there's only one ticket hidden behind this, not 3. We can all relax.
