Stomp some ass in this high-intensity brawler themed after Newgrounds and its characters! - Newgrounds Description
Newgrounds Rumble is a Flash game co-created by Luis, MindChamber, and NegativeONE, and submitted on May 29, 2007. Styled after Super Smash Bros., it is a crossover fighting game that features popular characters from various Newgrounds IPs, including the Pico franchise. So far, it has become a massive hit on the website, to the point of even being featured on several other gaming sites.
Relevance to the Pico series
Pico, Nene, Samurai Asshole, the "Buttchamber" incarnation of Piconjo, and the Convict all appear as playable characters, having different move sets and story modes. Darnell and Cassandra, in their Penilian form, make cameo appearances in the background of a scene in the game. Other playable characters who have made guest appearances in Pico games, like Tankman and P-Bot, are also featured. "Pico's School", "Nene's Store", "Japanese Garden", "Piconjo Manor", and the "Padded Cell" are also featured as each Pico character's respective arena of choice.

Trivia
- Newgrounds Rumble lists other appearances from source material for fighters. Although, some are not considered to be official or canon.
- The game's depiction of Piconjo received heavy criticism from the original creator, claiming it to be "disgusting". As such, this version of Piconjo was later retconned to "Buttchamber", a separate character who is an "impostor" of the real Piconjo.
- Convict is the second most expensive character in the game, aside from Piconjo. The player must earn about 1,250 Grounds Gold in order to purchase him. Unlike in canon, he cannot control his shapeshifting abilities. He will transform into one of the other fighters at random, requiring the player to be familiar with both his and the other characters' movesets in the game. Despite this, he is surprisingly a well-balanced character and "always has fresh attacks".
- In Alien Hominid's ending, if you click on the UFO he is repairing, he'll be crushed under it, where the inscription of "LOL" can be seen and the ending text below will change to "Whoopsies.".
- Once you complete a 100% complete run, go to the options menu and click the top right where it says "Data". There, you will find an Easter egg with a special message from Piconjo saying “Attenshun NGR Paytrin, Piconjer is nawt the meen villin this gaim showd him 2 b. Piconjo luffs j00. Just bremembr this.” After that, you will get the "Message of Luff" medal for finding it.
