I’m not gonna lie: when Brawl Stars Season 33 introduced Starr Toon, I felt like my childhood TV had crawled into my phone and demanded gems. South Park, Toy Story, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball — the season didn’t just tip its hat to cartoons; it wore a full cartoon onesie and challenged me to a duel. And yes, I lost. Repeatedly. But happily.

Even in 2026, looking back, Season 33 remains a standout crossover carnival. It ran in late 2024, but its skins still make my trophy road feel like a Saturday morning marathon. Here’s what went down, what I unlocked, and what my gem wallet still whimpers about.

Toy Story Invades: To Brawl and Beyond

The first teaser had Colette and Edgar opening a package. Then a robot-like hand popped out, and the slogan “To Brawl and Beyond” basically screamed Buzz Lightyear. The twist? Buzz wasn’t just a skin — he was a limited-time playable character. My brain did a backflip. My thumbs did not, because I still can’t aim.

The Toy Story skins were:

• Woody Colt

• Bo Peep Bibi

• Jessie Jessie

• Surge Lightyear

I mean, watching Colt dress as Woody and still miss half his shots? That’s not a skin issue. That’s a me issue.

Eric Cartman as Rude Lou: Respect My Authoritah?

Then South Park showed up. Eric Cartman became a skin for Lou, and I laughed so hard my phone nearly filed a complaint. Rude Lou is a Mythic Controller brawler. His Basic Attack fires far-reaching shots, and his Super slows opponents inside a big slippery circle. It takes a moment to activate, but when it does, enemies skate around like they’re on a frozen waffle.

I bought Rude Lou for 199 Gems. No regrets. Well, maybe one regret: I now hear Cartman’s voice in my head every time I freeze someone. Such offers were time-limited, so if you missed it, you know the pain. Remember the SpongeBob season? Those skins barely returned to the shop. Cartoon crossovers in Brawl Stars are like limited-edition candy: blink and they’re gone.

Amazing Maisie: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Goes Full Pose

The main skin of Brawl Pass Season 33 was Amazing Maisie, and it was pure JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure energy. Maisie is an Epic Marksman. She fires a single rocket to chunk distant opponents, and her Super is a shockwave that pushes enemies away and deals damage. With Amazing Maisie, the attack animations get stylish inscriptions showing the shooting direction. It’s absurd. It’s beautiful. It’s the kind of skin that makes me pose dramatically after every missed rocket.

Amazing Maisie sat at the highest tier of Brawl Pass Season 33. To unlock her, you needed Brawl Pass Premium and a whole lot of XP. Premium Plus gave two Chroma variants: Fuchsia and Titanium Maisie. My wallet looked at me. I looked at my wallet. We both sighed.

Adventure Time and Gumball: Sweet, Weird, and Perfect

Sugarplum Rosa and BeLess Ash brought Adventure Time vibes. Sugarplum Rosa felt like Princess Bubblegum with pink glasses and a candy aesthetic, but her battle spirit had Finn or Fionna energy. BeLess Ash was obviously BMO. No debate. Rosa is a Rare Tank with destructive mid-range punches and a protective shield Super. Ash is an Epic Tank who sends a shockwave in a line and releases robotic mice for his Super. The mice act on their own, like tiny chaos agents. I love them.

Paper Cordelius referenced The Amazing World of Gumball, with a style that also reminded me of Paper Mario. Cordelius is a Legendary Assassin. His Basic Attack shoots two mushrooms with good reach and speed but moderate damage. His Super, though? Legendary. It sends the victim to a shadow realm where no projectile or teammate can help them. It’s the ultimate “go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done” button.

How I Unlocked the Starr Toon Skins

Here’s a quick table from my memory:

Skin	Brawler	Unlock Method
Rude Lou (Eric Cartman)	Lou	Shop, 199 Gems, time-limited
Sugarplum Rosa	Rosa	Ranked Starr Drops
Amazing Maisie	Maisie	Brawl Pass Season 33 highest tier (Premium)
Fuchsia / Titanium Maisie	Maisie	Premium Plus extra rewards
Woody Colt	Colt	Shop / offers
Bo Peep Bibi	Bibi	Shop / offers
Jessie Jessie	Jessie	Shop / offers
Surge Lightyear	Surge	Shop / offers
Paper Cordelius	Cordelius	Shop / offers

Some were shop offers. Some were Ranked rewards. Some required grinding Brawl Pass like a caffeinated hamster. My advice: if a cartoon skin appears and you want it, grab it. These collaborations don’t always stick around. In 2026, I still see players rocking these skins and instantly know they were there for the Starr Toon madness.

Final Toon Take

Season 33 was a wonderful reminder that Brawl Stars can be a chaotic toy box. Toy Story made me feel like a kid. South Park made me laugh. JoJo made me pose. Adventure Time made me want candy. Gumball made me question reality. And my gem count made me question my life choices. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Just don’t tell my wallet.

For all Brawl Stars news and updates, stick around — and maybe save a few gems for the next cartoon invasion.
