"8-Bit Madness" Super Ninja High School (October 2015) with credits to Steve Ross (script) Ben Dunn (art), Alfred Perez (letters), and Doug Dlin (editor)
Slight change, as we'll be looking at one of the many miniseries/one shots that popped up over the years. This yarn takes place right after issues 28 and 29.
Basically the robotic army has been quiet...a little too quiet.
Yeah, turns out the Earthlings were right to be wary as Destructo got sent into the future, a future where things like the internet exist! He has now returned from the future to conquer the past! And yes, all of our bases now belong to them too!
Asrial and Professor Steamhead rush to the RNC HQ and give a reluctant Lendo a plan. Video games (and reference ahoy!) will save the world! Basically a network of game consoles are plugged into a Really Ornamental Bot with a Back and Forth Oscillating Top. From there, players will control their video avatars inside the game and defeat the evil robots with the power of STEAM!
A team is assembled: Mikey, Jeremy, Ricky, Sammi, and Lendo's brother Tetsuo
While they play and distract the robots, Ichi and Asrial are slipping into their base. Pity they get caught, scanned and sent into a totally not DEAD OR ALIVE beach volleyball game.
From there, more game references (including Captain N: The Game Master) abound until Ricky comes back with the Missinggo pokemon and uses it against Destructo.
It works awesome, but Mimi Masters has to send it back to the future and so this adventure and everyone's memories of it will be erased.
Cute, even if the references can be a bit overwhelming at a few points.
