Today, November 15th, 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the day Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL was released. At the time it was one of the first games to directly copy smash using %s, etc. This garnered a little attention but ultimately it was shoved aside as a smash rip off. Punch Time Explosion is more than just a smash rip off. It is THE Smash rip off. Fast forward and Playstation All Stars is released, Rivals, Slap City, Nickelodeon themselves made a smash bros "rip off." But at the end of the day it all comes back to this game. The first "true" Smash clone to do it, and it did a great damn job if you ask me. Rest assured, this game no matter how on the brink of death it may seem will always stay alive. There will be somebody out there playing this game and saying "yeah this is a fun game." You are not alone in this world. Yes, Aku is broken and shoots funny lasers. Yes, Billy and Mandy have their Punch Time Explosion again. And yes, that Vilgax down smash did hit you from there.

The game, twas but an echo in your childhood may propegate back, it may very well become a forgotten gem. Hopefully my grandkids enjoy this game lmao. But if not well all good things come to an end. Just enjoy the time before it comes to a close. This is Punch Time Explosion. Punch Time Explosion is life.

Have a wonderful day! ~Amaterachu
