The '''Action 52 Tennis''' was a [[Multi-Way Tennis]] hosted by {{CorruptionSound}} from August 8th, 2015 to August 24th, 2016. The match focused on the infamous NES and Genesis multi-cart ''Action 52'', notable for its high price and collection of 52 low-quality games. Each round is required to add two games from either cart; by the end, all 104 games were used. Other sources occasionally appeared as well, most notably ''The Angry Video Game Nerd''.
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".


This match has an interesting tidbit where the 2nd player in the spot seemed to be replaced rather frequently, while the other three in the rotation made it from the front to the end without a hiccup.
Sources that were not direct Action 52 footage primarily consisted of {{knorr}}'s additions of ''The Angry Video Game Nerd'', primarily his review of ''Action 52'' (Episode 90, 2010)<ref>https://cinemassacre.com/category/angry-video-game-nerd/angry-video-game-nerd-season-5/</ref>, as well as ''NES Accessories'' (Episode 47, 2008) and ''The Wizard / Super Mario Bros. 3'' (Episode 48, 2008) ("I'm gonna play a GOOD GAME for once"). <ref>https://cinemassacre.com/category/angry-video-game-nerd/angry-video-game-nerd-season-3/</ref> Other sources include Beethoven's ''5th Symphony'' (~1804-1808), the English outro for ''Alfred J. Kwak'' ("Alfred is so merry, so very very merry..."), and the "Python Foot" gag from ''Monty Python's Flying Circus''.
