Marsh-Mellow-Madness is the first Madness Combat animation by Krinkels to ever be made. It came after Krinkels' failure with the Breadman series and was also not entirely made using sprite animation.

Plot

In the beginning, a civilian is walking by when he notices a man standing next to a cannon. He reads a sign next to the cannon which reads, 'Marshmellow-Madness Ride - 5¢'. The ride owner smiles, and is given a nickel from the civilian. The ride owner then puts him inside the cannon. As soon as the civilian is ready, he is fired out. The civilian then lands face-first into a giant marshmallow. Two more characters are launched afterwards, pushing the marshmallow towards a cliff. One of the characters misses the marshmallow and painfully hits the ground, killing him. Another person gets launched in, causing the marshmallow to teeter on the edge of the cliff.

The ride owner is about to give another character a ride, but the cannon malfunctions and doesn't fire. So, the owner drags the person along the ground and tosses him into the marshmallow by himself. The marshmallow then falls backwards which ends up crushing the ride owner and killing him. The entire marshmallow then slides off the edge of the cliff. The movie ends with the text Al La FIN.

In MADNESS: Project Nexus

After beating Arena Mode as the Magiturge origin, you discover that the civilian that was first fired from the cannon and into the marshmallow was the Player, and that the entire ride was a sort of "Big Bang" for the Madness Universe. It also explains why the Player cannot remember having a past, as well as why N51 wanted the Artifact in Hard Sell.

Weapons

Trivia

  • The Sun appears in the preloader.
  • Both the marshmallow and the Sun reappear in Madness Combat 3: Avenger.
  • This is the first Madness Combat animation to feature a Grunt with a smile.
  • In MADNESS: Project Nexus, the cannoneer is named "Cannoneer.Script" and only says one phrase; "Marshmallow Rides". This seems to suggest that the entire event was some sort of testing ground for what would eventually result in the creation of Nevada.

Errors

  • The Civilian which is dragged to the marshmallow after the cannon malfuctions appears to has no feet when he is dragged by the ride's owner.
