There's a persistent cliché that you can either be a music fan or a sports nut, but not both - and the PongPing proves otherwise! Even though its vermiform body is better suited to standing activities like table tennis, the Monster also loves embarking on cross-island marathons, no matter how long they take. To keep its spirits up on the way, the PongPing uses its paddles to practice a series of rhythmic rudiments on its inflatable cheeks. When intense weather or fatigue threaten to discourage, the Monster likes to remember the optimistic adage its forebears always used to say: "Life is like a music box of Chokkolits... wait, why are there Chokkolits in a music box? What a mess! Oh well, let's get started on clean-up." We know, it's kind of convoluted.
