Red Button Consequences
Mod Josie:
"No! My life's work!!!"
Jacob yells from his bubble. He waves his hands around in the air and screams as all of his hard graft to shape the world has been undone. Kamoba has rolled back the universe to version 1.0, removing many of the Universe's features that were added post-release such as Gravity and Life.
Jacob unplugs the auxiliary servers before the un-patch is able to fully roll out to them. The Universe as we know it is now stored on these isolated machines, partway through being wiped.
Over the course of what seems like days, Jacob carefully boots each one and threads together any fragments of the current patch he can find, calling from both backups, live versions and old patches - anything he can find. He sews the code together, checks it for bugs and types a set of commands that he's never had to type before.

Jacob uses his patchwork patch from the auxiliary servers and knots them together on the primary server. He boots it and re-enables all the constraints that made the universe how it was before. He names the new version 1.4.10 and resumes the universe. He rolls out the changes by pressing the Red Button and goes away to make tea.
Indreams:
The changes do happen. Patch 1.4.0 also happens.
Gilder still wants squid changes. Minotaur is op. Double Spire is a viable combination.
Indreams escapes back into GOIO. He tries to stay invisible infear of -Muse- Jacob working his console magic again.
Because he is invisible, he does not press the red button. Interaction breaks invisibility.
Koali:
Koali flips and tumbles as he falls in limbo. He can hear voices, confused Pilots pondering W versus R, Engies rebuilding with Mallet and repairing with Spanner, Gunners loading Lochnagar into Flamers.
He encounters lost souls tumbling beside him, all looking just as bewildered as he does, which is to say, quite.
He remembers his Kirby-like anatomy and remembers that his stomach is a pocket dimension/hammer space. He finds two buttons, a red button and a blue one. He vaguely remembers a man clad in black leather and sporting dark sunglasses. He takes a fancy to the blue button and presses it, swallowing the red one for safekeeping.
He sees a light below him, rushing up toward him. Or is he falling toward it?
WARPY SOUNDS, LIKE A MIX OF WHOOSH AND SHLOOP AND BWOOOOWEEEEEEWOOOOOOP
He lands with a bump next to Jacob in his little bubble.
The red button teleports itself to its next user, remaining unpressed.
Mod Josie:
Jacob gets up from his chair and stares at Sakurai's creation, wondering why it's in his office and not inside his GameBoy is is the typical custom.
Acutely aware of the abilities of this plucky round creature, Jacob kindly asks the pink ball to 'shoo'; this office should only be entered on appointment and breaching these rules, even for interdimensionally anomalous reasons, is not to be tolerated.
Jacob types a short command into the console and a door appears in the wall near Koali. The door opens and begins to slurp up the air, somewhat ironically considering the target of the om nomming that is taking place. Koali is flung out of the office and into a hallway which had spontaneously rendered and appeared just as Koali was entering it. From the other side of the door Jacob winks at the puffball before the door shuts and evapourates away - thus revealing a wall with a TV mounted on it. Through the TV Koali watches Jacob sit back at his desk and push the Red Button on his console.
Koali:
Koali pouts for a moment, as he wasn't allowed to sit with Jacob for even a minute.
He looks at the TV for a moment... When its remote suddenly flashes into existence from Jacob's button press. He inhales it and becomes...
REMOTE KIRBY KOALI!
He forces the TV to display an image of a Miracle Fruit (from Triple Deluxe--good game, definitely recommended) and swallows it off of the screen, acquiring the Hypernova ability.
He opens his mouth and creates a powerful vortex that sucks up the TV.
And the wallpaper.
And the glue.
And the plaster.
And the entire wall at the end of the hallway.
Koali charges into Jacob's office to demand an explanation for that Tetra-esque wink---
Except there is no office. He ran face first into a giant red button, pressing it.
