The '''Action 52 Tennis''' was a [[Multi-Way Tennis]] hosted by {{CorruptionSound}} from August 8, 2015 to August 24, 2016. The match focused on the NES and Genesis multi-cart ''Action 52'' (1992 and 1993, respectively), infamous for its high price and collection of 52 low-quality games. Rounds were required to add the games as they appeared in each multicart; thus each round would add two new Action 52 games (one for NES, one for Genesis) until all 104 games are used. <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/115578-action-52-tennis-match/1.html#post-4993100</ref> Other rules were keeping the rounds between 5 and "xx" (likely 99) seconds, a rough two-week turnover, and to avoid exaggerating "in the effects department... [countering] rapism with clever editing".

Kwak'' ("Alfred is so merry, so very very merry..."), and the "Python Foot" gag from ''Monty Python's Flying Circus''.

While the first, third and fourth positions remained stable throughout the entire match ({{GameBop}}, {{Metroid998}} and {{CorruptionSound}} respectively) the second position notably could not hold someone down and had five people make rounds for it during the match. These were:
