For those of you who are wondering what all the pops do, want to have an excerpt about how your favorite pop is really great, or just want to read some ASW poetry, this is for you:
Quote
_ Ode to the Pops_
Everyone knows when you play the pop-pop
The fun, the excitement just don't stop
But for those ones who are new to the show
The pops you will want to get to now
And so, my friends, don't shake and cower
At this poem describing each pop's power
For you will need to be well-versed
To beat the PopMastas on their own turf
The first in line is little Ioni,
the flower girl, and she's no phony
To retaliate she needs no sword
She'll spread the flora all over your board
To your dismay you cannot see
And so it is that Ioni will be
The champion of the match
Your victory away she'll snatch
After her is smooth Bombastic
His dropping bombs are quite a fast trick
The ones you miss'll be back to haunt you
In each line lower this pop will daunt you
In a "bomb"ardment he will knock off your socks
As you fruitlessly struggle to clear the blocks
This pop's no joke, he'll knock you dead
You continue to lose, this pop you shall dread
And Mini-t, that vessel of evil
Who will win? it is certain that he will
With a huff and a puff, your way he'll send
A disorienting blast of wind
Your paddle will pale, your ball will be lost
That is what fighting with him will cost
To get in is way is to be quite a fool
To him, victory is just part of the rules
When you're in the bath, he'll unleash his wrath
Ducky is the man!!
When you're taking a shower you'll feel his power
Duckyis the man!!
Diverting your pucks with his small rubber ducks
Ducky is the man!!
When you're playing teh pop, he just can't be stopped!!
DUCKY is the man!!
The coolest cat, the suave Mr. Man
He knows for a fact that you're hitting the sand
Your game will go under as he sends his minions
To make more new blocks over in your dominion
All the way down, his robots will soar
Leaving blocks in their wakes, he'll fill up your board
Way too many bricks, you'll be in a rut,
Don't mess with this guy, he'll kick your butt!
The next pop in line is a kindly one
But when Tex is riled up, it's not gonna be fun
His spinning six shooters will deftly appear
In an effort you should surely fear
When you get hit, you won't be movin' fast
Your paddle is stuck, the ball goes right on past
It's not that he intends to be mean to you
But if he needs to, he'll make sure you lose
And last in the order, the mysterious Zap
His power can make you go all out of whack
When he charges it up, little stars will appear
And they will make sure your ball doesn't come near
They repel it and make your ball go everywhere
In the end you'll be shouting "This just isn't fair!"
You don't want to fight, just stay away, cause'
He'll surely win, it's just what he does
So all of you who don't want to lose
Remember these powers that you'll need to use
If you prepare and train, you might see
That a true PopMasta you'll grow to be
