BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division IV Mario 64 demolishes Mario Kart 8

Super Mario 64 crushed Mario Kart 8 and looked like a serious deep-run threat. Although one analysis calls the result an SFF beating, the other explicitly doubts meaningful SFF, so the writeup ultimately leaves the mechanism uncertain.

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division IV Mario 64 crushes Tactics but shows one small crack

Super Mario 64 crushed Final Fantasy Tactics, though its percentage bleed gave a small opening for later Twilight Princess speculation. The writeup otherwise treats Mario 64 as the obvious division heavyweight.

BGE 2K15 Round 3 Division IV Mario 64 overcomes Zelda's rally and picture advantages 2

Twilight Princess looked unusually competitive at the start, but Mario 64 recovered and settled into a comfortable win. The writeup attributes much of Zelda's early strength to rally spillover and the lopsided match pictures.

Rally · Pic: The writeup says Twilight Princess benefited early from Undertale rally spillover and from a major picture imbalance: Mario 64 received a poor image while Twilight Princess received an especially strong Link image.

BGE 2K15 Division Final Division IV Rally spillover boosts Mario 64 in an easy Skyrim win 1

Super Mario 64 beat Skyrim comfortably while the neighboring rally war boosted Mario's support. The match remained stable despite the outside traffic and ended Skyrim's respectable run.

Rally: The writeup says the simultaneous Pokémon-Undertale rally traffic favored Super Mario 64 and inflated its showing against Skyrim, even though it did not change the winner.

Undertale 51.3%
Undertale rallies through repeated Mario 64 resistance 1

Mario 64 repeatedly fought Undertale back into a close match, but every meaningful threat triggered another surge of outside Undertale support. Undertale eventually pulled clear and continued toward the semifinal.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale's rally erased Mario 64's early lead within hours and repeatedly answered Mario whenever he briefly retook control. Simultaneous Melee rallying may also have helped Mario somewhat.

BGE 2K15 Bonus Pokémon beats Mario 64 and strengthens its elite case

Pokémon RBY beat Super Mario 64 in a bonus poll pairing two games previously eliminated by Undertale. The result strengthened the writeup's belief that Pokémon had become stronger than any of the major Mario games.

What this is

Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags (SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the match.
