(Hey, you know what might be funny? If at some point, Belle was paired up with SMG4 Mario. Or someone equally stupid. ..And I'm talking about them both being on the same team, not fighting each other. So Belle has to put up with having a stupid teammate.)

(And the results? Well, either Mario actually wins because of Belle.. Or Belle loses because of Mario. Either way, it'll probably end up funny somehow. We'll just have to see which one happens based on the event.)

(Now, back to my backstory!) ---

For one reason or another.. The SMG4 cast found themselves in a video game tournament.

Mario was eliminated nearly instantly. Luigi won the first few rounds by doing nothing, but when Saiko hit Toad with her hammer, Toad flew into Luigi, causing them both fly out of the tournament. ..This eliminated Saiko.

But eventually, Tari ended up playing against Belle.

Belle:*chuckles* There you are, Tari. It's a good thing you're here.. I can actually have a challenge.

Host:And the game is... *boots up Ultra Jump Mania*

Yeah, Ultra Jump Mania!

The two were racing the game. Whoever beat the game first would win the round.

Belle was Tari's fiercest and most challenging opponent yet. And it didn't look like Tari could win this one. Belle put her cybernetic arm to its fullest use, blazing through the game.

Tari was also blazing through the game.. But she was falling behind.

But her determination grew. She did better, and better, as she reached "the zone".

..All she was focused on now, was the game. Not the arm. Nor the rest of her mind.

And soon.. She accidentally transported her consciousness inside of the game.

The tournament went to a halt, as Tari's screen glitched away.. With Tari's eyes glowing a faint blue..

Tari's arm has a blue crest as one of the buttons on its HUD. Pressing it sends her into the game she's currently playing. This was revealed in SMG4:The Tari Abnormality (In Meta Runner, it was also revealed in Episode 5)

...But if Tari's in the correct state of mind.. She can end up transporting herself without pressing the button. (This happened to her Meta Runner counterpart in Episode 1.. So I'm applying it here as well. Mostly because I want Theo to show up.)
