Thanks to @ryujin00_ for the melodious art!

The Toadstool Events kick off their 2026 journey with full... wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a damn second!! What the hell just happened in the jungle?!?!?

It looks like a bunch of mutant birds have taken over the place, causing crashes, changes, and some much-needed restructures. Yeah, there are a lot of questions flying around: Is this the end of us? Is Ceefs going to invite us all to his wedding in Tahiti? Is this guy really about to launch an event in the middle of all this chaos and pretend nothing happened?

For the love of Swole Torchic, let’s take a breath and accept the obvious first. Ceefs is probably already married with kids, so that cake is not for us… or at least not for all of us, iykwim.

So no, my dear rebellious monkeys, this is not the end. Quite the opposite. This is the start of a new path. Not a “square one with nothing” kind of start, but more like loading a new save file with all the weapons and toys you unlocked in your previous run. And what better way to kick this off than how we do it best: handing out free Banano, hanging out in the jungle, and sharing a good time together.

So back to the birds. Our awesome artists have been out there photographing and illustrating some of these new characters, like this singing bird. Instead of destruction, its voice seems to restore the ecosystem around it. Not shy at all, loves being seen, enjoys the spotlight, and thrives on concerts. What a pleasant fellow eh?

Alright, now we’re ready to begin! There are a few changes to the rules and prizes that you’ll discover along the way, but for now, we’re starting the new Toadstool Events year with an event that celebrates the best of the music industry: The 2026 Grammys! Win $BAN every time your nominee wins! The more you get right, the higher your chance of also taking home one of our Top 3 Prizes!
