So, I was thinking about that Gadget art, and I feel like I actually found a way to incorporate both him and one of the original KfaD1 sources that was removed, into a team!

So I was thinking about HyperCam and it's nostalgia factor lwo nights ago and that got me thinking about what I watched when I was younger. And the biggest nostalgia time period for me on YouTube? 2011-2015, and you know what was SUPER big during that time? Minecraft. And well what's Gadget associated with here.

So I decided to make some sort of team-up with him and someone related to Minecraft, at first I thought of the single most popular Minecraft YouTuber of that area (no, Markiplier doesn't count since he wasn't a dedicated Minecraft channel), as supported by his Guiness World Record, SkyDoesMinecraft, however I realized that aside from Minecraft original songs and parodies (he starred in one once) which pretty much any Minecraft YouTuber can have and gol-er I mean butter related rips, which is a pretty limited source actually, he wouldn't make that good of a pairing.

Thinking about Sky however got me on the topic of Team Crafted. For those that don't know, arrived too late, or just didn't follow Minecraft at the time, Team Crafted was sort of an alliance of various Minecraft let's players that all knew each other anyway and were all fairly well-known on their own like CaptainSparklez or MinecraftUniverse, as well as a handful of artists and animators as well like Slamacow and BlueMonkey. It broke up in around 2016 due to the members all having differing idea about stuff like merch and so forth and general discourse between the members, so the band was broke up and they all just went off and did their own thing, but at the time it was hella hype and had a pretty thriving fanbase, you can still find PLENTY of fanart of it from the time, mostly due to Sky's influence and his o wn fanbase. While it's noticably dated and a lot of the fanart is kinda cringey, it's cringey in a sweet nostalgia way, like a lot of HyperCam's stuff, like "oh god I remember this" that was clearly made by like 13-year-olds who thought it was the SHIT kind of nostalgia cringey, like we'd consider stuff like Warrior Cats animations, Flipnote or character tribute videos for like idk Sonic X or creepypastas or something. Even just watching the animation gives me huge washes of nostalgia. It was a simplier time.

Instead of just taking the eazy way out and picking CaptainSparklez because of Revenge and Fallen Kingdom, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and INSTANTLY knew who would work best.

BajanCanadian.

I never really watched him and wasn't really a fan of him myself at the time, yeah he was part of Team Crafted, but he just didn't really click with me like some other members did, and I wasn't really interested in his content. (I was a faithful [honorary since i had no account and thus couldn't sub to him] Sky Army Recruit >:3) But he's much more important than the other's for historical reasons relating to all of gaming.

See, he was mostly known for playing Minecraft Hunger Games and his constant survival streaks, it was a pretty big attraction at the time, him playing with his life-long inseperable bud ASFJerome and the two having fun together.

And you know what legacy that Minecraft Hunger Games has? It was, and even though it doesn't have a Wikipedia article, it does reference it as being important in the creation of a veerryyy profitable and well-known genre these days.

Battle royales.

The entire concept may not have originated there, but Minecraft Hunger Games and by extension Bajan and Jerome's antics were instrumental in it's mass rise to popularity during the mid-2010s (sounds so weird to say now, mid-2010s >_>), and considering the complete removal of Fortnite from King for Another Day, here's a way to put it back in. (yeaaaaa, that's kinda obviously sarcasm, but I still find it weird Thanos still references it so much, at least Nintendo Power should have kept it, disregarding the entire Zelda franchise, they really don't have a whole lot, I feel like Reggie should have kept it, but I guess they lost ti since it's obviously not a Nintendo game, even if Xenoblade is second-party)

Source list:


 * Songs from shows produced by or aquired by DiC Entertainment (Inspector Gadget obviously, but also Sabrina: The Animated Series, Captain N: The Game Master, The Littles, M.A.S.K., The Real Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, Liberty's Kids, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, they made a LOT of classic 80s kid's shows actually, Gadget was actually their first making him a pretty fitting rep for them, like DiC's answer to Johnny Bravo)


 * Songs from Minecraft or related to it or Mojang (Wet Hands, Sweden, Mall, Strat and the other music discs, songs from Minecraft: Story Mode, or Minecraft: Dungeons [when it comes out], tracks from the OSTs of Cobalt or Caller's Bane/Scrolls, this also includes inspiration for it like Dwarf Fortess and games Notch didn't produce but was involved in like FTL: Faster Than Light)


 * Minecraft original songs or parodies (Don't Mine at Night, Screw the Nether, the Fallen Kingdom saga, Mine the Diamond, New World, TNT, I Can Swing My Sword, Minecraft is for Everyone!, and of course Revenge)


 * Music from or related to Canada (Like HOBaRT, but for Canada instead; The Paperboys, Avril Lavrigne, Loverboy, Justin Bieber, Rush, Celine Dion, Nickelback, Old Country Soul, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Runnin' Back to Saskatoon, Takin Care of Business, O Canada, Dudley Do-Right, Totally Spies!, Johnny Test, Celeste, Scott Pilgrim)


 * Music from or related games in the battle royale genre or games famous for having battle royale modes (Fortnite, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Unturned, Pac-Man Battle Royale, agar.io, Apex Legends, Tetris 99, Fallout: 76, Paladins)

So

This took me two days to finish and yeah, it's a bit rambling but I feel it's a SUPER good actual King for a Day worthy source list, and it's not even out of dedication like the other stuff I've done like Neil or Spooky, I never even really followed Bajan, I just feel he's a geniunely perfect fit to make Gadget an actually viable character. It seems rather lopsided in Mitchell's (that's Bajan's irl name btw) favor, if you just consider the Mojang and DiC stuff Gadget's but that's because I just couldn't think of any better buffs for Gadget. Rips related to investigations is already taken by Law & Disorder and I have a plan for rips related to cyborgs. I feel like what he has is pretty good though having literally all of DiC at his disposal like Johnny does with Cartoon Network, I mean... he even gets The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, as well as a lot of actually good bangers like Captain Planet, G.I. Joe, and (The Real, not the unrelated 70s TV show that got the cartoon spin-off name first, hence the cartoon's name) Ghostbusters, and the aforementioned Super Show. The Canada stuff is a plus too. Did you know Finger Eleven is a Canadian band? >_> No joke though, I've heard a lot of this stuff like Loverboy and Avril through Neil mashups before and god damn it's not half bad. (although that may just be the cicierega touch ;) )

So, I hope you enjoy this idea, spent a lot of research and thinking on it, and this was created over three days, since I had the idea too late at night to write it at first, then a coding error messed up the link formatting and I didn't want it to be published like this [[1] ] so I had to just straight up wait until the next day to type literally anything and then I had a doctor's appointment today....... yeesh 😬

And no, I wasn't really able to come up with any ideas for a name for the duo, I'm sorry. .---.
