3 Idiots and a Wise Ninja

3 Idiots and a Wise Ninja is the fifth episode of Video Game All-Stars Island.

Plot
Banjo gathers all the contestants he can find, being all of Team Beta, as well as Ryu Hayabusa, who was alone as the rest of Team Alpha was not present. Banjo announced that the contestants would have five minutes to run before he unleashed a monster to track them down. He gives Ryu three lives to make up for him being alone.

Once the contestants had hidden, the monster was released. Spyro decides to hide in a tree, but his loud thinking gets him spotted almost instantly. He attempts to lead it over to Ryu Hayabusa, who was hiding by a lake, which partially succeeds, as they both get caught, putting Ryu down to two lives and putting Spyro out of the challenge.

The next one to be found is Mario, who tries to do the same thing, as he can't outrun the monster. However, he is unable to find Ryu before being caught, leaving Falco as the only Team Beta member still in. Ryu gets spotted shortly after, and put down to one life.

With both Falco and Ryu having only one life left, they each try various tactics to get the other one spotted. Eventually, Falco manages to outsmart him, giving Team Beta the win. Afterwards, Banjo announces a twist. The three members of Team Beta would be put back in with rocket launchers, and the last one standing would get a reward. Falco immediately accidentally shoots Mario, and decides to let Spyro take the reward.

Because of his reward, Spyro got immunity into the final five, as well as getting to choose a member of Team Alpha to leave. He says that he is sick of Bowser's laziness, and chooses to eliminate him.
