- There may be SPOILERS from all of the shows/movies the characters are from.

I'll just say straight up that I don't know a damn thing about Lil Slugger, so sell me that he can beat two conniving robots and their dopey pal
---

Lil Slugger comes up and beats you with a baseball bat as you fall to your inner demons in order to get you to achieve enlightenment and personal growth or something.

I dunno if he's capable of speaking and thus declaring which peg to strike. But I also don't know if Mike would finally be able to escape his purgatory of watching cheesy movies and thus forfeit the game upon dealing with his inner struggles.

Sluggers whole thing is feeding off peoples insecurities and escapism, which... god I have no idea how this works at all. If the MST3K crew were nervous or super invested in winning board games, Slugger takes it easily. If they were resolute of conviction, he loses easily. But apathy, which seems the most likely case? Thats really not a thing Paranoia Agent looks into deeply.

man what a wild pairing

it's really difficult to imagine Slugger actually sitting down to play Battleship
---

3 dudes
---

Slugger speaks like... twice in the whole thing. But he can speak.

As fro whether he'd even actually play the game... ehhh?
---

Well, this sounds like MST3K wins if they can remotely focus at all. Which is very iffy, but still
---

Yeah, I think MST3K is getting there. Now that I think about it, it's hard to say if Slugger can even comprehend what a game is, given... what exactly he is.
---

MST3K without a doubt

Mind you after the game ends, the entire castle collapses.

"Mike, are you just working up to another planet?!"

"I didn't know that was a load bearing brick!"

Incidentally Joel had it together much better than Mike (Mike got slotted here by random draw), he probably would be fierce at this
