Plot
Picking up from where BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!'s bad ending left off, the entire world has been covered with black smoke from a meteor crashing onto it. Qbby sets out to restore the planet, and meets Qucy around the end of World 2.
Qbby and Qucy then notice the vast amounts of new doors, a projector-like object, and a drill of some kind. Around World 4, Qbby meets Qudy. Once they make it to the projector, it shows them the meteor crashing on to the planet. They then make it to the drill, and Qudy decides to sacrifice himself to help Qucy and Qbby get to the rest of the world. The world starts tilting, and they manage to make it. They then end up sacrificing themselves to save the planet, which starts to turn green.
