Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn/Histoire/ISGPExhibitionChampionship

Short & Skinny
This page exists as a sub-section of a lengthy, wordy Histoire page. It documents a multitude of bad decisions caused by Gentle being a tryhard for a meme Championship title.

Open a dictionary. Then, turn the pages of it to "tragedy." If you don't see anything resembling this section of the ISGP Wiki, something is wrong with your dictionary.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Team Racing (Race 1)
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn joined in on a challenge to race Crash Team Racing. The other challengers were Crystal Fissure, Yogamoanyo, Nintendogen64, Charity Royall, and DessertMonkeyJK. Nintendogen64 spun a "Wheel" to randomly determine which one Arcade Mode Cup would be done for the challenge. It ended up being Wumpa Cup.

The sole GARION MODE Activation was playing as Pura, one of the Handling Class Karts. He was 3rd Place in a close race, with Crystal Fissure in 2nd and Yogamoanyo in 1st.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: HuniePop (Race 1)
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn joined in on a challenge to race HuniePop. The other challengers were DantaFanta, who was champion at the time, Yogamoanyo, and TOTOzigemm. They had already discussed at-length about wanting to do a HuniePop race for some time, and Gentle agreed on the basis of HuniePop being one of the only games he had any experience with. Yoga was the one who made the race stipulations, calling it "True Homie%." The goal was to seduce both Tiffany and Jessie, in order to "ruin a family" as Yoga eloquently put it.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, TOTOzigemm won.

Due to the goal being fucking asinine to begin with, and additional stipulations already being present within the race, Gentle could not activate GARION MODE at all. Furthermore, despite playing on Easy Mode, he failed multiple dates in a row. Fed up with the shitshow that was the race, he rage quit the call and only came back to give Danta the footage he had recorded.

Recognizing how dishonourable his 4th (Last) Place performance in HuniePop was, Gentle vocally expressed his dissatisfaction with the ISGP Exhibition Championship. He intended to never challenge for it again, upon coming to the stark realization he would be viciously outclassed by every other competitor no matter what game he chose to play for it. Additionally, he resolved to improve at speedrunning HuniePop to put the game to bed once and for all.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Pokemon - Crystal Version
Despite not actually appearing in this race, Gentle's spiritual presence was provided as a core component of it. Smudgey (under the Smudger60027 or "Smudger" race car) and Al Molloy (under the "Shigarino" race car) both purposefully made their Pokemon Crystal challenge be "Garion"-themed. Initially a simple race to "make Whitney cry" and obtain the Plain Badge, they included 4 "GARION MODE" Activations to their respective perspectives of the run:


 * 1) Smudgey and Al Molloy both named their Starter Pokemon after Gentle, but changed the names a bit. Smudgey called his Totodile "Jarrian," while Al named his Totodile "Jarrion."
 * 2) Smudgey and Al then declared that nicknaming all their Pokemon was in of itself a "GARION MODE."
 * 3) "Frame 4" had to be used.
 * 4) Only 2 Pokemon could be in the party at any given time, the Egg being an egg-ception. Since Smudgey and Al already had their Totodiles, they each only caught one other Pokemon. Smudgey caught a Rattata, and Al caught a Bellsprout.

Smudgey won, but Al was not far behind when he did.

Initially confused, Gentle found this race to be a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. Since the entire basis of it was founded on expanding "Garion lore," he included it in this Histoire section to vocally recognize he had a positive impact on the ISGP community.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: HuniePop (Race 2)
Having overheard TOTOzigemm was to challenge then-Champion CharmedSky to a race in HuniePop to acquire "All Panties," Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn decided to join the Exhibition Championship Match. He would also be joined by Yogamoanyo. Knowing full well he wouldn't win, he decided to just humour people in the call anyway and go along with the HuniePop ride.

The results of the match were TOTOzigemm in 1st, CharmedSky in 2nd, Yogamoanyo in 3rd, and Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn unsurprisingly in 4th (Last).

In an (obvious failure of) attempt to make up for last time, Gentle activated GARION MODE six times:


 * 1) Gentle refused to resign, no matter how poorly he did in the run.
 * 2) Gentle refused to reset the game, even without getting a Bag of Goldfish in the Shop right away to trigger Momo's opening dialogue.
 * 3) Gentle attempted to keep his temper in check, and made a GARION MODE to not lose it. This did not mean he couldn't still be majorly bummed out by doing poorly in the race, though.
 * 4) Gentle pursued an Achievement where he would not talk to the girls he was dating ("Buying Love" Achievement)
 * 5) Gentle pursued an Achievement where he could not give any alcoholic drinks to the girls he was dating ("Sobriety" Achievement)
 * 6) After the run was done (in FOUR FUCKING HOURS), Gentle did a "voice dub" of Kyu's lines after he successfully seduced Venus.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Bash (Race 1)
When Smudgey was last Champion, he had intended to invite Gentle to join in on an Exhibition race to Crash Bash, which Al Molloy had initially proposed. Gentle accepted, recognizing this was one of the only instances where he would ever be able to race Crash Bash against other people. He had beforehand attempted to race against other people in Games Raced Awfully in Crash Bash twice, but each instance he was unable to join because of real life circumstances beyond his control. With work obligations having proven to be an insufferable nuisance to getting the Crash Bash race done before, this challenge was re-instated a month after it had been originally devised.

The race was to complete Oxide Ride, which first required collection of 22 Trophies, 15 Gems, and 12 Crystals. Gentle won this race, with Al in 2nd and Smudgey in 3rd. Gentle activated the following GARION MODEs in what effectively culminated into a rare instance of a Miracle Art:


 * 1) Gentle played as Rilla Roo. His mastery of the game comes from playing as the "Hybrid" class, of which Rilla Roo and Dingodile belong to.
 * 2) One of his three opponents had to be Coco Bandicoot. This was mostly a reference to a Running Gag Gentle saw within Crash speedrunners, who liked to include her in their iconography. Gentle did explain, however, that if he played as Coco/Tiny/Dingodile he would have N. Brio be one of his opposition as a GARION MODE, as Platinum Relic Champion Pools included Coco/Brio the least in them.
 * 3) Gentle refused to quit or rage-quit, intending to remain zen. Crash Bash is one of the only games he's any good at, so there was no reason for him to be anything short of "annoyed" by any aspect of the game.
 * 4) Yoga randomly asked Gentle to collect the El Pogo Loco Crystal (as a joke, which was not registered as such until he got to it). Gentle complied, getting it with extreme ease.
 * 5) Gentle also collected the Sky Balls Crystal, intending to reference a Running Gag one of his fellow streamers (Thatonenewtagerplayer) makes. As this was a point of contention throughout the run, Al and Smudgey declared they would scoop/surrender if Gentle got it first try. While he did not get it first try, he got it while only failing thrice.
 * 6) After winning the race, Gentle switched the game to Spyro 2 and listened to the Winter Tundra soundtrack for however long it would take for Al and Smudgey to finish. He could still move while listening, but he needed to stay in the Winter Tundra Warp Room for the rest of the match.
 * 7) While in the Winter Tundra Warp Room, Gentle ascended using the Low Momentum Jump Charge to get to where the Ripto's Arena Boss Door was. He purposefully had Spyro stand next to Elora.
 * 8) Since Gentle won the race, he would attempt to keep the Exhibition Championship Title for however long he could. This counted as a GARION MODE, since he never thought he would ever acquire the Championship Belt in the first place.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Shadow the Hedgehog
Danta Fanta challenged Gentle to a Shadow the Hedgehog race. The goal was to do all 3 of Westopolis' Missions. Mayonnaise Doctor also joined in, and proceeded to win even while crashing mid-Chaos Control Glitch activation. Mayo got 1st place, with Gentle in 2nd and Danta in 3rd.

Due to how short the goal was, Gentle could not activate GARION MODE. Furthermore, he did this race while not in the best of mental shape ("less than 50% capacity").

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Bandicoot 2 - Cortex Strikes Back (Race 1)
After winning Shadow the Hedgehog, Mayonnaise Doctor was challenged to Persona 5 by DantaFanta. He retained the title after a close match.

Then, Morgan was supposed to race Mayonnaise Doctor, but rescinded his challenge.

Unsatisfied with the sluggishness in which challenges were happening, Gentle challenged Mayonnaise Doctor to Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. The goal was to collect 25 Crystals and all 5 Coloured Gems, and defeat Cortex. Two stipulations were made: one was that Red Gem Skip could not be done (meme), and one was no Crystals could be duplicated (not a meme).

Gentle tried to activate GARION MODE while miserable and tired, and the result was just that he wasted everyone's time. Upon dying in Warp Room 3 and recognizing he could not recover the run (MayoDr was almost done with Warp Room 4), Gentle scooped. This confirmed a second title defense for Mayonnaise Doctor.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: HunieCam Studio (Race 1)
After Mayonnaise Doctor's second title defense, Gentle let the other people in the ISGP Discord talk out various challenges. Upon seeing time pass with Mayo still holding the title, and witnessing people make and then later rescind challenges, Gentle decided enough was enough and invoked a HunieCam Studio challenge. Yogamoanyo intervened and then the Championship title got passed to Crystal Fissure, who defended it twice and instated a request to wait for HunieCam to be done until after many other ISGP Exhibition Championship videos were first uploaded to YouTube.

The goal was originally just to make it a Score Attack, since HunieCam was designed to be played that way. Because Crystal Fissure had an outing with Fromond, a different goal had to be devised at the last minute - to simply recruit 8 girls.

The race was also supposed to be competed with by many other racers. However, timezone differentials made it so either Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn or Crystal Fissure would have to stay up way later/earlier than they normally would, which then caused timezone issues for everyone else except CharmedSky, who easily won.

Crystal Fissure resigned after Game Over-ing, which left Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn with 2nd Place.

Because of having to change the goal and not being in the right mental state for activating GARION MODE, Gentle had GARION MODE set to "Dormant."

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Legend of Legaia (Race 1)
After CharmedSky won in HunieCam Studio Race 1, she lost the title to Morgan.

After Morgan defended the title once, Gentle had intended to challenge him to keep the title rotating to someone else. However, time had passed and this challenge eventually became multiple weeks overdue (in Gentle's mind). As the rotation of the title remaining consistent was the primary gist of Gentle's challenging Morgan to Legend of Legaia, he deliberately chose a goal so short it would not be possible to activate GARION MODE: just get through enough of the game to make it out of Rim Elm, the starting town.

Gentle won, as it was solely between him and Morgan. Thus, Gentle acquired the ISGP Exhibition Championship Belt a second time and it did not come from the title being vacated!

ISGP Exhibition Championship: M&M's Shell Shocked
After winning in Legend of Legaia, a couple title defense challenges rolled Gentle's way.

The first one which could be done was an M&M's Shell Shocked race. It was timed after scheduling complications arose during the 2021 World Tag League for an ideal first match in the name of Paesani di Legaia. The challenger was Lucas Bolton, and the goal was to make it through Level 1 Zone A, Level 1 Zone B, and Level 1 Zone C. The earliest into the game where the character being played could say "Oops! Uh oh..." upon dying was Level 2 Zone A. Al Molloy also joined in this race.

While the goal was extremely short, Gentle activated GARION MODE twice:


 * 1) Gentle had the M&M's Shell Shocked character (Peanut) say "Oops! Uh oh..." more than once. The main reason for this was because he did not fully hear it the first time. He intentionally died four times to ensure he confirmed the line of dialogue was heard.
 * 2) Gentle also finished the section in which his character died in (Level 2 Zone A).

Al Molloy also activated GARION MODE twice:


 * 1) Despite losing, Al still finished the goal.
 * 2) Al also finished the section in which his character died in (Level 2 Zone A).

Gentle successfully defended the Title.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Muppet RaceMania (Race 2)
The second title defense challenge which was done was Muppet RaceMania. Initially meant to be done earlier the day before, Gentle had to recover from a fairly stressful work week and was trying to relax from said week. Eventually recognizing he had the Championship for long enough, Gentle accepted three pending challenges: MayoDoctor's challenge to Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney, Lucas Bolton's challenge to RockMan & Forte, and Nintendogen64's challenge to Muppet RaceMania. Having wanted to do them all, he made it clear he would do the one presented first on the night of July 5, 2021. Worst-case scenario, he could use these challenges to un-tilt from lethally bad attempts of Spyro 1 120% speedrunning.

After a surprisingly close match (where Gentle was only behind by one whole track at most), Nintendogen64 won.

Gentle completed the following GARION MODE Activations:


 * 1) Gentle chose to play as Pepe The King Prawn, a decision made in reference to a Discord emote he liked to use a lot. Additionally, Pepe was a character he found enjoyable in Muppet Monster Adventure, okay.
 * 2) Despite it being largely unnecessary, Gentle got 1st Place in Tournament A. This was considered a significant accomplishment, especially for a first-time player of Muppet RaceMania.
 * 3) Despite it being largely unnecessary, Gentle got 1st Place in Tournament B. This was considered a significant accomplishment, especially for a first-time player of Muppet RaceMania.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Bandicoot 1
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn challenged Nintendogen64 to Crash Bandicoot 1, with it being a race to do All Coloured Gems. Later, "Defeat Cortex" was tacked on as a task. Mayonnaise Doctor and ThePsychicGaymer joined in as well, with Psychic winning.

Gentle activated GARION MODE when he did the following:


 * 1) Gentle collected a Clear Gem in Boulders.
 * 2) Gentle hummed the instrumental music in Upstream, for the duration of the time he was in it.
 * 3) Gentle collected a Clear Gem in Hog Wild.
 * 4) Gentle hummed the instrumental music for The Eel Deal, when asked to by Crystal Fissure.
 * 5) Gentle collected a Key during the Cortex Bonus Round in Sunset Vista.
 * 6) Gentle collected a Clear Gem in Heavy Machinery.

Gentle tried to continue the run after Heavy Machinery, but everyone else had moved on from Crash Bandicoot by that point. He was two GARION MODEs shy of a Miracle Art, much to his displeasure.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney
Mayonnaise Doctor challenged ThePsychicGaymer to Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney. Gentle joined in, as he was supposed to race Ace Attorney with Mayo earlier in the Exhibition Championship (as a title defense for when Gentle had the title). The goal was simply to complete "The First Turnabout."

Despite some early technical issues with Nintendo DS emulation, the run was able to be done for Psychic. Gentle tried to do this game while tired, so he was unable to GARION MODE it. Additionally, his audio was loud and laggy. When Psychic finished the run with a victory, Gentle quietly scooped without finishing.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Bash (Race 2)
The ISGP Exhibition Championship title ended up vacated a second time, due to mental health reasons from one of the Championship holders (Emily Dixon). As a direct result of that, several people scrambled to take the vacant title on August 2, 2021.

After the World Tag League match of Paesani Di Legaia v Golden Lovers ended, Al challenged PsychicGaymer to Crash Bash. The goal was to complete everything which could be done in the first Warp Room (4 Trophies, 4 Gems, 4 Crystals). While Gentle was not in the mood, Al proclaimed this race "good for the story" as impetus for him to join in. Tooney also joined.

Gentle had a hard time with Crashball's Crystal Challenge, but managed to tie for 3rd with Tooney. Al Molloy won the title, much to Psychic's consternation.

Between the shortness of the goal and Gentle's mood not being really up for the Crash Bash race originally, no GARION MODE Activations were able to be logged for this race.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Gex (Race 1)
As the ISGP Exhibition Championship was the closest Gentle would ever get to doing a Super Gex League 2 tournament, he joined in when ThePsychicGaymer challenged Al Molloy to Gex. The goal was to make it to the Fourth Level. ThePsychicGaymer won.

As Gentle did the game without much in the way of knowledge, and Game Over'd twice, he refused to activate GARION MODE. Furthermore, he imposed it upon himself to try to learn Gex for a later Race.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Gex - Enter The Gecko (Race 2)
This challenge was a long time coming, as a result of a lack of a Super Gex League 2. Furthermore, Gentle had wanted to compete with LukeRF44 and Emily Dixon in Gex 2 and in Gex 3, but was unintentionally left out of their earlier races. While Gentle was initially salty as fuck about being left out, he had since calmed down and chose to challenge other people to the Gex games when the time arose.

The time would indeed coom, when the ISGP Exhibition Championship title was vacated for the third instance, on October 11, 2021. He had meant to challenge Garthvader to Gex in a race to get the Red Remote in Lava Dabba Doo, which itself required 4 Gold Remotes to be collected. With Garthvader's ceding the title, PsychicGaymer stepped in as someone who would also take another stab at the ISGP Exhibition Championship.

Gentle won. He activated GARION MODE once: Gentle prohibited himself from entering Frankensteinfeld, making it necessary for him to get a 9th Red Remote in a 4th Level in order to unlock the Mooshoo Pork boss encounter for one of his 4 Golden Remotes. This was primarily done as a result of goading from Yogamoanyo and others in the voice chat, whom insisted upon there being a GARION MODE even if there was little room for one. The goal was deliberately designed to be linear enough to not need a GARION MODE Activation, akin to the Legend of Legaia race against Morgan.

As this match was during a time where the Super Crash League was happening, Gentle declared he would try to keep calls in SCL "Garion-proof." This was in of itself an attempted GARION MODE, alluding to Spyro Speedruns Cup (2021), where Gentle had a more direct responsibility for many calls becoming disorganized and unhelpful to their corresponding racers getting stuff done. It ended up also being proven as something necessary, as he was partially responsible for absolute bedlam within the voice chat during this Gex 2 race.

The "Garion-proof" idea was then disregarded when Smudgey and Al summoned him to the voice chat of Super Crash League for a race done by Mayo v Danta in Orange Dog's N Sane Trilotrash - Gentle was told he was needed.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: 40 Winks
Nintendogen64 asked Gentle to play 40 Winks for the ISGP Exhibition Championship so a Halloween special could be done for the ISGP Channel. With this in mind, Lucas challenged Gentle to 40 Winks instead of Rockman & Forte (which had been the original plan).

Gentle did a "GARION MODE" Activation while acquiring the game, specifically choosing to purchase the version of it on Steam (so he could play on a controller).

Otherwise, he foresaw defeat. The challenge was to collect enough Dream Keys to confront and beat the second boss of the game, but Gentle found himself Game Over-ing twice. After the second Game Over, Gentle scooped. This gave Lucas the Championship title.

Gentle held off on challenging for the ISGP Exhibition Championship again, since there was a whole bit where Amelia, MayoDr, and Yogamoanyo wanted to have Shark Boy and Lava Girl be incorporated into a meme run. As Gentle was no longer Champion, he was relieved to remember he did not have to watch that movie alongside the others. Furthermore, he wanted to instead save his time and energy for the Crassic Speedrunning Championship.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Bash (Race 3)
Gentle wanted to see the outcome of the Shark Boy & Lava Girl race take forme, when he heard there was a nine-way joint ownership of the ISGP Exhibition Championship Belt. Then, Nintendogen64 challenged one of the winners (Ellie Phantasticgrump) to Muppet RaceMania. They initially declined, and wanted to re-join in when Nintendogen64 decided to record his side of the race for himself. Nintendogen64 thus un-did the multi-person winning of the ISGP Exhibition Championship, which prompted Gentle to challenge him to Crash Bash afterward.

The goal was to get to Sky Balls Crystal.

Gentle activated GARION MODE:


 * 1) Gentle said "SHALOM, YOUTUBE" as his intro, then did so again to clarify he was recording.
 * 2) He chose to play as Dingodile
 * 3) He ensured Brio was the "Player Two" / "First Opponent."
 * 4) Gentle laughed like Vincent Price. Originally done unintentionally, he ended up needing to do it as a reflexive mechanism to ensure he still breathed
 * 5) Gentle got "46" Points in one go in Pogo-A-Gogo's Crystal Challenge, which provoked Nintendogen64 to surrender / "scoop."
 * 6) Gentle won Space Bash Gem by purposefully blowing himself up with a Nitro Crate
 * 7) Gentle sang part of "Original Sin" by INXS, during N. Ballism. This was after everyone else in the Discord call left to talk privately with Smudgey about stuff, and he needed to do something of substance to keep his enthusiasm up.
 * 8) Gentle finished the Sky Balls Crystal goal, seeing it through despite not quite getting it under 2 hours like he originally wanted.

At minimum, a Miracle Art was activated.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Rockman & Forte
Gentle and Lucas finally got around to doing Rockman & Forte, at long last.

The game flipped Gentle off, despite his one successful GARION MODE of playing as the exact same character as Lucas (Rockman). Gentle was unable to defeat Astro Man first, because Rockman's physics and controls were not able to be adapted to even after farming enough Screws to purchase Spare Bodies, an Energy Balancer, and a Spike Guard.

He had to scoop for his own mental health, else he would have continued. His barely suppressed rage was predicted by everyone else involved with the race, which he was initially confused about until they explained why.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Muppet Monster Adventure
Gentle watched Danta v Lucas in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. When Danta won, he off-handedly mentioned wanting to have a 6th reign when it was mentioned he had a 5th reign. Thinking with this in mind, Gentle cooked up a challenge involving Muppet Monster Adventure - to 100% Peacock Purgatory, the first level of the game. The challenge was so short it would not be GARION MODE-able (though Danta jokingly considered finishing the goal a "GARION MODE" for him).

Muppet Monster Adventure had been chosen primarily so a different game could be done. The race was close between Danta and Gentle, though Gentle won. This was the "first phase" of "Getting Danta a 6th Reign."

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Mewmewfan had long wanted to race people in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Gentle provided an opportunity, which was taken.

The goal was to complete Chemical Plant Zone Act 2, short enough to have GARION MODE be forcibly Dormant. The race was close, but ultimately Gentle choked in Chemical Plant Zone Act 1 and could not recover in time to complete Chemical Plant Zone Act 2 before Mewmewfan.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Crash Team Racing (Race 2)
With the Super Crash League drawing to a close, Gentle challenged the current Champion (Lucas Bolton) to Crash Team Racing. The goal was to do N. Oxide's Challenge, which required all the Trophies and Boss Keys. Fully expecting to lose because of a majority of the ISGP Discord Server having partaken in a recent Crash Team Racing event in Games Raced Awfully on top of the Super Crash League, Gentle had no GARION MODE Activations planned from the onset. This became cemented when his hands fell asleep on his controller very early on in the race.

Gentle managed to sneak a victory in, when Lucas had to retry for the Trophy in Hot Air Skyway. This was while having been behind for a majority of the tracks due to not having access to some of the shortcuts Lucas did. Gentle kept overtaking, even with a rather rough Pinstripe fight on his hands.

Thus, Gentle's 6th Reign as ISGP Exhibition Championship was solidified.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Sonic 3D Blast
Mewmewfan challenged Gentle to Sonic 3D Blast. The goal was simply to beat Spring Stadium Zone Act 3. Not expecting to win it on the basis of having choked in the last Sonic race he did, Gentle did not activate GARION MODE. Furthermore, he had only recently awakened by the time of the race's start and his hands went numb once again.

Gentle surprisingly defended the Title, which was not helped by Mewmewfan having Game Over'd in Rusty Ruin Zone Act 3.

ISGP Exhibition Championship: Bugs Bunny & Taz Time Busters
Danta challenged Gentle to Bugs Bunny & Taz Time Busters. The goal was to complete Granwich and fight the boss in the Baboon Realm. Since Gentle didn't know the game very well, he could not activate GARION MODE in any capacity. While Danta easily won, Gentle at least made a sincere attempt to finish the goal and stuck it out.

Danta mentioned wanting to pass the Title around in a UK Meetup with other people.
