Carnival of Death

The Carnival of Death is a yearly celebration of T.A.Death, a game mode in TAP, held on the week of March 25th. Players have a week to submit scores from the mode, from the original game or fan made games to a leaderboard. At the end of the week, all the scores are tallied up into a DEATH TOLL.

History

"So in Japan, when TAP was the latest TGM installment, players would meet up for a "celebration of death mode". These gatherings, wholly unofficial, were simply a way assemble enough players together to have a vs death mode tournament, to share strategies, or even to just simply observe famous players in action. Awesomely enough, when machine translated, "celebration of death mode" turned into carnival of death. Hardcore. Twisted Evil

I'm looking to try and organize a carnival of death on the March 25th, or 3/25 by the American calendar. The so called "torikan date"." --colour_thief, 2008

Carnival of Derp

Carnival of Derp is a side event first held in 2016, originally organised by TPM2209. The aim of Carnival of Derp is to play T.A. Death mode using a ruleset different from normal (e.g. Ti-ARS, SRS).

Carnival of Darkness

The Carnival of Darkness is another event held on May 23 (5/23, the "torikan date" of level 800 in Phantom Mania), to encourage the playing of Phantom Mania, a version of Death where the pieces turn invisible once they lock.
