Misleading title! No wackiness, no jokes, no puns
The last bit (having no puns) is the part that hurts most of all.
Animation and design is good, but the only thing that was a good joke was that they were playing chess at the beginning. I might have laughed if I hadn't already done pretty much the same joke in my own mario vs sonic cartoon (which was in turn kind of a rip off of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey), but whatever, that's not a big part of the cartoon anyway.
For the rest of it, the pacing was way too slow, and the lack of music or any interesting action just made this fight a dreary thing to watch. A disappointing cartoon.
