Mario and Luigi Partners in Paradoxes Chapter Seven: The Big Exciting Clashy Battle thing…of DOOM!
The Mario Bros. again arrived in Peach's Castle. Strange how although the Time Holes led to strange places all over the Mushroom Kingdom's past that they all lead to the same area in the present…weird. Anyways they arrive in the castle and head over to E. Gadd who is playing an anatomy game with his hi-tech equipment.
E.
Gadd: And then the toes are…here?
Computer: Incorrect. Toes are
here.
E.
Gadd: Oh! At the end of the foot! Who would have thunk it! I always
thought they were that big round thing on my face!
Computer: That
is your nose.
E. Gadd: Oh…
Luigi:
E. Gadd!
E. Gadd: ACK! What do you want! I'm very busy!
Luigi:
While I hate to interrupt your…"educational" game time I have
to tell you that we collected enough Shards to get into Shroob
Castle. Do you know where the Time Hole for that is?
E. Gadd: It's
not a game! It is important scientific work! But…the Time Hole is
probably the one on the third floor…it is the only one you haven't
been to yet. Now leave! I have some fingers to find!
Computer: Those are legs.
Luigi: We'll be going now…
The Mario Bros. run up to the third and top floor of Peach's Castle. They soon find the Time Hole, in the center of the room and easy to reach. They jump in and are transported as usual. However…this time they are taken to…the FINAL BATTLE…place, thing. They arrive in front of the Shroob Castle gates. There is a mystical alien force field in front of it blocking entry. The castle looks similar to Peach's castle but has large purple mushroom towers jutting up all over it, it is purple and Princess Shroob statues are all over the place. The Cobalt Star emerges and using its powerful startastic magic it vaporizes the force field. The star then disappears.
Luigi: Well…I guess that means we can go in…
Mario:
Woohoo!
Baby Mario: Meh…
Baby Luigi: Ay!
The four Bros. enter…Princess Shroob's Castle…The inside is similar to the outside, purple and mushroomy. They walked a bit trying to figure out what to do when a purple creature that looked like a Tanoomba appeared (a Tashrooba). A few feet away was a large metal ball thing (A Snoozorb).
Luigi: Okay…what do we do about these guys?
The Tashrooba turned into a spiked shell and spun at the Bros.
Luigi:
I wonder if this would work?
When it got near to Luigi he kicked
it in the side, where there were no spikes. The thing went flying and
collided into the Snoozorb. Three yellow curved planks extended
through the sides acting as arms and legs and a head popped out
through a small retractable hole. The Snoozorb took one look at the
Tashrooba…then vaporized it with a laser blast. The Snoozorb then
went back to sleep.
Luigi:
Uh…that's mine! I beat it!
Mario: Oh NOOOOOO!
Luigi: Fine.
The ball-creature beat it. Jerk. So technical.
The Mario Bros. continued through the Shroobdacious castle. They came to an open path on the second floor. Luigi was about to walk on it when several Shroob Saucers floating overhead blasted at him. The shockwave hit him and carried him back to Mario. Baby Luigi smacked him with his hammer.
Luigi:
OW! I'm SORRY okay?
Baby Luigi: NO!
Luigi: Fine. We'll have to go around that path then…
The Bros. soon came to a large staircase that took them to a strange room with various buttons and control thingies.
Luigi: Well…I have no idea what any of these are or do…but it probably has some importance involving our advancement through the castle.
Mario:
Woohoo!
Mario smashed the keyboard with his hand hitting many of
the unintelligible symbols.
Luigi:
ACK! Do you have any clue what you just did!
Mario: Oh
NOOOOOOO!
Luigi: Very encouraging.
The room they were in (which was actually the top of a large statue of Princess Shroob) suddenly started to shudder and shake as various rockets underneath the room fired, carrying the top part of the statue into the air. This is very illogical and for a unknown purpose, after all who needs part of a statue to fly? Entire statues can be very useful what with the transportation ease that would cause…but part? How strange.
Luigi: W-w-what's going o-on?
Baby Luigi: YAY!
Baby Luigi jumped off of Luigi as soon as the statue settled and slammed the control panel with his hammer. This caused the statue head…thing…to fly off erratically and crash into the Shroob Saucers sending them flying to who knows where. Then the statue part conveniently lands right on the open path where Luigi got shot at. Baby Luigi hops back onto Luigi and the Bros. go outside.
Luigi: Wow…I have no clue how we got here…but it IS convenient so I'll accept it without question.
Mario:
YAY!
And so the Mario Bros. continue their journey through the
castle. Soon they came to a warp pipe that said "To Princess
Shroob's Lair". Don't ask why it is in English.
Luigi:
Why is that sign in English?
Told him not to ask. Before the
Bros. could go in it, a yellow creature similar to the Love Bubble
(It is a Soul Bubble) and a large purple dinosaur (Shroob Rex) Jump
out and make threatening noises.
Shroob
Rex: I threaten you!
Luigi: Uh…right…
Soul
Bubble: Give me your SOUL!
The Soul Bubble turns and faces the
Shroob Rex. A pale white strand starts flowing from the Shroob Rex to
the Soul Bubble.
Shroob
Rex: What! NO! STOP!
Soul Bubble: HA HA HA HA HA! SOULS! SOULS!
The white strand fades as the Soul Bubble finishes its evil work.
The Shroob Rex cries and runs off.
Soul
Bubble: Thank you!
The Soul Bubble starts fly-skipping away
while occasionally shouting "SOULS!" Soon it is out if view.
Luigi:
That was creepy.
Mario: Okeydokey!
The Mario Bros. go into the pipe. They started to go up the pipe…until suddenly they stopped.
Luigi: That's weird…usually we're just teleported there, we don't actually travel through a pipe…and why did we stop.
There
was a large sign blocking their path. It said "Pipe closed for
maintenance…Purple mushrooms blocking travel. Please hit button for
detour." There was a small red button near the sign. Mario slammed
it. An alternate path opened on the side. The Bros. went inside
it…but the path didn't go up…it went DOWN!
Luigi:
AAAAAHHHHH!
Baby Mario: EEEEEEEEE!
Mario: WHEEEEEEEE!
Baby
Luigi: OOHOO!
They landed rather hard in the basement of
the castle. While the fall should have at least caused them some back
pain, all it did was make Luigi very frightened.
Luigi: My whole life flashed before my lives…and it stunk.
Mario hoped to his feet as did Baby Luigi. Baby Mario seemed a bit more frightened but eventually got up. Luigi staggered to his feet.
Luigi: I guess we keep going, although this is really inconvenient.
The babies get back on the Bros. The basement had a similar atmosphere as the rest of the castle did…but a bit more wet. They walked out of the small room into the big basement area. Before they could continue though a flashing red Lethal Bob-omb and a gray Shy Guy-like ghost Ghoul Guy popped up from behind a corner.
Luigi: I'm getting really sick of all these enemies!
The Lethal Bob-omb then exploded taking out the Ghoul Guy.
Luigi: Although if they all did that I guess I could get used to enemies.
The Mario Bros. walked into a strange large room covered with piping and a green platform. Surrounding it was water except for the tiny stretch of path they were on and another one on the other side, covered with spikes. On the other side of the spikes was a warp pipe. A floating block was in the middle of the almost island.
Luigi: I'm guessing we have to get to that warp pipe…and we probably have to hit that block so…
Mario dashed forward to hit the block but a Chomp flew out of the water and ate it. The Chomp then dived into on of five big pipes dangling from the ceiling.
Luigi: You've got be kidding me. We have to get that block back from the Chomp!
Mario:
Woohoo!
Mario grabbed Baby Mario and put him on the ground. Mario
then grabbed Luigi and dashed away.
Luigi:
What are you doing!
Baby Mario: (Confused squeak)
Chomp:
(Teeth gnashing)
The Chomp dived out of one of the pipes and
landed silently behind Baby Mario. It slowly creeped up on him as
Baby Mario looked at Mario and Luigi.
Luigi:
Oh…I get it…Baby Mario is bait…and right before the Chomp eats
him you're going to do something to get the block back?
Mario:
Oh NOOOOO!
Luigi: What do you mean?
Mario made chomping
motions.
Luigi:
After he gets eaten?
Mario: Okeydokey!
Luigi: You're
twisted!
Baby Mario heard something behind him and turned
around. He saw the Chomp two inches away and about to devour him.
Baby
Mario: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The
high-pitched sound caused the Chomp to writhe in pain…before
exploding. The block the black round thing ate floated up.
Luigi: Well…that was convenient.
For once Mario was speechless. He quickly got over it and ran over to Baby Mario and the block. He roughly shoved Baby Mario onto his back and hit the block, expecting the spikes blocking the warp pipe to retract. However the warp pipe disappeared.
Luigi:
ACK! What'd you DO!
Luigi ran over to Mario. Right when he got
there the warp pipe reappeared underneath the Bros.
Luigi:
NOT AGAIN!
Mario: Woohoo!
Baby Mario: EEEEEEE!
Baby Luigi:
Oohoo!
They popped up outside a door that said "Room where
Princess Peach is held captive."
Luigi: YAY! We're almost done!
Before
they could enter the door though two purple creatures fell from the
ceiling and landed in front of them. One was a Shroob with a busy
purple mustache and a cane (Shroobsworth) while the other just looked
like a regular Shroob (Intern Shroob)
Shroobsworth: I say…you
can not see the Princess!
Intern
Shroob: Hear hear!
The Intern Shroob pulled out a pen and paper
and started scribbling.
Intern
Shroob: I double as a secretary!
Luigi: What? Why do you look like
Toadsworth if he was Shroobified and why do you speak
English!
Shroobsworth: Uh…EAT CANE!
Shroobsworth dashed
forward and tried to hit Mario with his cane. Mario grabbed it and
snapped it on his knee.
Shroobsworth:
You broke my cane! You big Meanie! I mean…uh…that was very
disrespectful!
Intern Shroob: I'm taking notes!
Shroobsworth:
Shut up.
Intern
Shroob: Yes sir!
Luigi: This is insane.
Shroobsworth: So you…have defeated my staff…
Luigi: It was a cane.
Shroobsworth: Shut UP! You may have defeated it…but can you survive-
Intern
Shroob: I love you!
Shroobsworth: AHHH! INTERN THROW!
Intern
Shroob: Whee!
The Shroobsworth threw the Intern Shroob at Luigi.
Luigi easily side-stepped and the creature hit the wall behind him
and exploded.
Shroobsworth:
Uh…METEOR STRIKE!
He raised his arms and a large purple meteor
fell from the ceiling…somehow…and squished him.
Luigi: Well…that was anticlimactic.
Mario:
Woohoo!
The Mario Bros. entered the door…and found a massive
chamber. There were stairs on the left side. It was strange as the
right side of the room looked similar to the left, only no stairs…or
doors…or anything…but it looked like SOMETHING was supposed to be
there. And in the center of the room was a large energy field, shaped
like a round cylinder…and inside the hi-tech cage was…
Luigi: Princess Peach!
Princess Peach: …
Her mouth was moving rapidly but somehow the energy field was preventing her from being heard.
Luigi: Strange…if this is Princess Shroob's Lair…then where is Princess Shroob-
The entire room they were in shuddered.
Luigi:
What was that!
Stuffwell pops up.
Stuffwell: I believe Princess Shroob is attacking the outside of this room in her Mother Ship!
Luigi:
How did you know…oh forget it. What can we do to stop
her!
Stuffwell: If you head up those stairs on the left side of
this room it may take you to a spare ship which you can use to shoot
down the Mother Ship!
Luigi: What kind of equipment are
you…equipped with?
Stuffwell: The ability to read.
Luigi: What?
He turned and looked at the stairs. On the side it had a sign saying "Go up to find spare Saucer."
Luigi: Oh.
Mario:
Woohoo!
Mario dashed up the stairs and Luigi was right behind
him. Soon they reached a control room similar to the one they used
before to attack the other saucers. A large screen was above the
controls this time and they could see the Shroob Mother Ship,
surrounded by Shroob Saucers as it continuously shot down purple
waves.
Luigi:
This is going to be tough…HEY!
Mario hit several different
keys. The spare ship they were in didn't rise but it did shoot off
several energy blasts. These hit the surrounding Saucers…and they
all crashed into the Mother Ship.
Luigi: Uh…wow…
The
ship stopped firing temporarily…but when it started it was shooting
at the spare ship!
Luigi: ACK! Do something!
Baby Mario:
Eee!
Baby Luigi: Oohoo!
Baby Luigi jumped down and slammed his
hammer on the control panel. The ship they were on started to sputter
as its propulsion systems fired off.
Luigi:
I think we should get off!
Mario: Okeydokey!
The Mario Bros.
jump back onto the stairs as the ship they were in flew off…and
crashed into the already weakened Mother Ship. It spiraled out of
control and slammed into the side of the castle. When the Mario Bros.
got to the bottom of the stairs they could see that half of the
Mother Ship was inside…it had smashed through the right-hand
wall…hey I knew something would go there! Anyways the crash short
circuited the energy field and Princess Peach was freed.
Princess
Peach: Yay! Mario rescued me!
Luigi: Hey! I helped!
Princess
Peach: You shut up.
Luigi: Jerk…well…no purple mushroom attached to you, so I guess you're the real deal.
Princess Peach: Uh…okay.
Luigi: Yeah, it is a long story. We got five of the six pieces of the Cobalt Star…so-
Princess
Peach: NOOOOOOOOOO!
Luigi: What?
Princess Peach: Rather than
telling you why that's bad I'll just moan and then wait for
something distracting to happen!
Luigi: What!
Princess Peach:
MOAN!
A ramp extended from the Mother Ship.
Luigi:
I have a bad feeling about-AGH!
Mario dragged Luigi over to the
ramp. They peered inside…
Princess Shroob:
($&!
Luigi: ACK!
Mario and Luigi jumped
back as Princess Shroob flew out on some kind of hi-tech throne
chair…thing. She made angry gestures and said things in that
unintelligible languages Shroobs use. Stuffwell pops up.
Stuffwell: Uh hem! Allow me to translate…She is saying that she doesn't like you four in the least and that she will cause you extreme discomfort and possibly pain before annihilating you from the face of this planet and multiple other ones.
Luigi: Uh…right.
Princess
Shroob: &!
Stuffwell: She also says I am incredibly
attractive…for a suitcase.
Princess Shroob glares at Stuffwell before shooting a purple energy blast at him from her hand.
Stuffwell:
ACK! I escape!
Stuffwell disappears. A shimmering red force
field forms around Princess Shroob's throne.
Luigi: I guess we have fight. Sigh…I just want all these adventures to be OVER!
Princess Shroob gave one last resounding creepy alien cackle…and then she attacked! Two ray guns extended down and fired before the Bros. could do anything…however they were pointing the wrong way and completely missed.
Luigi: That's Shroob technology for you.
Princess Shroob said the Shroob equivalent of "Shut up!" which is something involving one's hamster and a jar of Chocolate mustard. Don't ask. She then hit a switch and her floating throne developed four large metallic spider-like legs which carried it high into the air. It stomped over to the Bros. and tried to skewer them with its legs. Luigi and Mario rolled away, and then Mario threw Baby Mario at the Princess. The Force Field prevented the attack from causing any damage…but it did turn a darker red and become slightly less transparent. In anger the Shroob princess fired off several circular beams, one of which hit the ground around Luigi and shrunk in on itself causing him to trip.
Luigi:
That's it? Tripping beams?
Mario slammed a leg with his hammer,
causing the unwieldy Throne-Walker to come crashing down. The Force
Field prevented any damage to the Princess but it DID become even
darker. The throne started floating again. Princess Shroob then tried
to ram Mario, but he jumped over the predictable attack and came
slamming down on the top of the field. Now completely red it was
impossible to see into…or out of. Unable to see the Princess
crashed into a wall shattering the field. Her throne now useless she
jumped out of it.
Luigi:
Do you surrender?
Stuffwell pops up again.
Stuffwell:
No she doesn't!
Luigi: I thought you were escaping?
Stuffwell:
I decided to unescape!
Luigi: Right.
Stuffwell: Princess Shroob has 3000 Health Points!
Luigi:
What?
Stuffwell: It'll take a lot of attacks to bring her
down!
Luigi: What do you mean "Health Points"?
Princess
Shroob suddenly shot off a large quantity of purple energy blasts.
Luigi dodged while Mario batted the ones aimed at him back. Princess
Shroob became quite upset and summoned a purple star. She flung it
and it orbited the Bros. getting faster and faster…but not doing
anything.
Luigi:
What was the point of this attack?
Suddenly the star slammed into
the ground…and disappeared. Princess Shroob now seemed slightly
furious.
Luigi: You know I think she is getting desperate.
Princess Shroob suddenly teleported above Luigi and shot a purple ball at him. He was hit but as it was a weak attack he was cool. Well…maybe not cool…but okay. Princess Shroob then teleported again…but misjudged and teleported halfway into the floor.
Luigi: Wow…that's really embarrassing.
Princess Shroob ferociously growled and tried to shoot energy wave but her hands were stuck in the floor. Mario walked over to her and hit her in the head with his hammer. She popped out of the floor, defying multiple laws of physics and appeared to be unconscious.
Luigi: Yet another anticlimactic battle…
Princess
Peach ran over to the victorious Mario.
Princess Peach: Yay! You
won! Now we must make sure not to refuse the Cobalt Star using
this!
She pulled out the final middle piece of the Cobalt Star.
It was a bluish white and star shaped.
Luigi: If you don't want
us to use it…why did you just take it out?
Princess Peach: Mario
is better looking then you!
Luigi: That doesn't answer
my…HEY!
Suddenly Baby Bowser jumped out of the Mother Ship.
Baby
Bowser: Gwa ha ha! I shall combine the pieces of the Star!
Luigi:
Where'd you come from?
Baby Bowser: The Mother Ship…DUH!
Didn't you see me jump out of there?
Luigi: But how'd you
sneak on!
Baby Bowser: They fell for this "I'm not here…you
can't see me!"
Luigi: You're kidding.
Baby Bowser: Nope! Isn't that-HEY!
He rolled just as Mario tried to jump on him.
Baby Bowser: Jerk! At least let me finish monologing! Fine! I shall combine the Cobalt Star!
During all this the mostly formed Cobalt Star appeared and was floating around. Baby Bowser jumped forward and snatched the piece, which he then threw at the star causing it to be enveloped in light!
Luigi:
And why…exactly did you do that!
Baby Bowser: Plot Device!
Luigi: Of course.
Baby
Bowser: Gwa ha-AAAAHHHHH!
The shining Cobalt Star blasted Baby
Bowser with a lightning bolt…turning him into a purple
mushroom!
Luigi: Huh?
Princess Peach: Oh nooo!
Princess Shroob awakened temporarily and crawled over to the Bros.
Princess Shroob: &&))…
Stuffwell: She says…I leave it to you…female sibling who is related to my parents and thus is perhaps related to me…ACK!
After blasting Stuffwell with an energy blast she exploded into pretty pink dust.
Princess
Peach: What did he say?
Luigi: I think he said that she said that
the Star is her sister.
Princess Peach: Oh. I could have told you that.
Luigi:
WHAT!
Princess Peach: Yes! When I time traveled here, there were
TWO Shroob Princesses! I managed to trap the ugly one in the Cobalt
Star and send its shards all over the place, but the second one
tricked me by pretending to give me a new dress and I was
captured!
Luigi: Wow…that is highly insane AND unlikely.
Princess Peach: Well too bad! It still happened!
The
star finished glowing and suddenly turned into a massive oversized
Shroob in princess garb. However this one towered over the Bros.
Elder Princess Shroob: You killed my annoying weak sister who
bugged me continuously and was a girly-girl who I hated with every
fiber of my very being…and for that YOU MUST DIE!
Luigi: How
come you can speak English?
Elder Princess Shroob: Uh…that's
not important! FIGHT ME!
Mario: Okeydokey!
Princess Peach: I'm
going to go behind this convenient chair that wasn't there before
and occasionally throw stars that somehow appear in my hand at the
Elder Princess Shroob in order to cause some minor assistance to your
obviously humongously overly dramatic final battle.
Luigi: Uh…okay…
Princess
Peach dashed behind a large chair that just appeared.
Elder
Princess Shroob: Uh…are we gonna fight or just repeatedly defy
logic?
Luigi: Your one to talk, you were recently inside a
mystical star!
Elder Princess Shroob: SILENCE! Shroob Saucers…COME FORTH!
She raised her hands and several Shroob Saucers fell from the ceiling.
Luigi: You know I'm getting really sick of things falling from the ceiling…
Elder
Princess Shroob: Ha! You won't be able to survive this…my attacks
are numerous! Without the Saucers all I can do is drink healing
fluids and shoulder ram people but WITH them! Well…let's just say
it is UNBELIEVABLE! EEEEEEGAHIAHFHBUB!
Luigi: What was
that!
Elder Princess Shroob: Uh…my laugh.
Princess
Peach: Ha!
Princess Peach threw an orange star that somehow
appeared in her hand. It flew up and smashed all the Saucers as they
were all in a straight line. Peach gets an extra life! I mean…yeah…
Elder Princess Shroob: No! My Saucers!
Luigi: Does this mean we win?
Mario:
Woohoo!
Elder Princess Shroob: No…it just means I'll have to
unleash my FINAL FORM a little bit earlier than expected. Shroob
Crown Magic/technology…ACTIVATE!
Using her large claw like hands she grabbed both sides of the crown she was wearing. It gave off a brilliant burst of light which temporarily blinded the four Brothers. When their vision returned they were confronted with a monstrosity. Elder Princess Shroob had become some kind of evil monster creature! She was now even bigger and was at least twice her height previously. However she also seemed to have become quite thicker and her legs have been replaced by numerous tentacles. Four similar tentacles stuck out where her arms would have been.
Mario:
Mamamia!
Luigi: You said it!
Elder Princess Shroob: HA! My
Supreme Form shall annihilate you! Energy…BLAST!
She started shooting green and red energy balls together a few feet above her oversized head. Soon a massive purple ball was formed. She was just about to release the floating sphere when…
Luigi:
Why is nothing there?
Elder Princess Shroob: Huh?
She looked
up. Upon doing so she lost her concentration and the massive energy
ball fell on her. It exploded and she suffered incredible amounts of
damage.
Luigi:
Wow…I can't believe you fell for that!
Elder Princess Shroob:
Silence! Tentacle Strike!
She started whipping her pointy
tentacles at the Bros. Mario hammered one, while Luigi dodged. Baby
Mario just held tight to Mario. A tentacle tried snaking around
Luigi's neck from behind but Baby Luigi bit it. Immediately the
attack stopped.
Elder Princess Shroob: You humans are ferocious fighters…and really cheap…I mean come on…biting! Seriously.
Luigi:
Hello?
Elder Princess Shroob: Oh…yeah. Fight to the death and
all. Fine! Give me several minutes to come up with a new attack!
Luigi: Sure.
Stuffwell pops up.
Stuffwell: Hi!
Luigi:
What are you…wait…Stuffwell are you like equipped with some kind
of weaponry?
Stuffwell: Of course not! I am a suitcase not a
fighter! Although E. Gadd DID equip me with something
called…"Self-Destruct"…what does that mean?
Luigi: Really?
Alright…I want you to Self-destruct as soon as you hit the
Princess.
Stuffwell:
Why?
Luigi: Because uh…she likes you?
Stuffwell: Sounds good
to me! By the way…what do you mean…HIT the-AGH!
Luigi tossed
Stuffwell at the muttering Elder Princess Shroob.
Elder
Princess Shroob: So…maybe a tentacle…no they're expecting
that…What?
She sees the flying suitcase right as it hits
her…and explodes! Stuffwell is obliterated and the Elder Princess
Shroob is reduced to a purple mushroom like so many have been turned
into.
Luigi: Yes! Two birds with one stone!Who would have thought that Stuffwell would have been useful for something?
Mario
and Princess Peach were in shock because Luigi successfully defeated
the all powerful (Albeit stupid) Elder Princess Shroob…plus he took
out Stuffwell, major points for that!
Princess Peach: Uh…let's
go into the Time Hole that is conveniently placed over here.
A Time Hole appears next to the convenient chair.
Luigi:
Wow…let's go!
Unbeknownst to Luigi while he was celebrating
about defeating Elder Princess Shroob, Baby Luigi pocketed the
mushroom she became. Luigi grabbed him and the four Bros. went back
into the Time Hole. They soon arrived in the castle courtyard, where
all of the Toads were running around giggling guiltily. Luigi
cornered two of them
Toad:
He…he…we're so guilty!
Luigi: What? What happened?
Toad
2: Well Bowser fell through the castle roof and is lying unconscious
in the throne room!
Luigi: How'd that happen?
Toad: He must
have fallen through the Time Hole!
Luigi: But that doesn't make
any…oh who cares. Why are you giggling?
Toad 2: Because we drew
a mustache on his face!
Luigi: …Okay…
Princess Peach: Come on! Let's all draw funny things on him!
Mario follows Peach, and after a bit Luigi reluctantly follows as well. They see an unconscious Bowser with a goofy pink (Yes, pink) mustache on his face. After a bit of laughing the four Mario Bros. walk up to Bowser and poke him, proving that they are indeed related. The purple mushroom remnant of Elder Princess Shroob that Baby Luigi took because he thought it might taste good floated out of his pocket…and over to Bowser's mouth. He woke up and like all people when they just wake up after falling several years into the present, ate the object in front of him. Immediately a wave of energy pushed the Bros. back, as Bowser became aglow with power. He became…Shrowser!
Shrowser: Whoa! The unbelievable power! With this…I shall conquer the world…but not before squishing you Mario Bros.!
Luigi: Great. Just when we thought it was over.
Suddenly Shrowser exuded purple smoke. It took form above him as the spirit of Elder Princess Shroob. Shrowser took a look at it.
Shrowser:
Huh? What's that?
Elder Princess Shroob: Kill the Mario
Bros.!
Shrowser: You must have more power! DIE!
Shrowser
shot off several super powered fireballs at Elder Princess Shroob.
Elder Princess Shroob: No! You fool! AAAAHHHH!
She exploded.
Shrowser:
Now I will have all the-huh?
He exploded as well. The battered
Bowser flew through the hole and crash landed in his castle, much to
the chagrin of the Goombas he landed on.
Luigi:
Is it over?
Professor E. Gadd ran up.
E. Gadd: I believe so…now where is my suitcase?
Luigi:
It uh…self destructed?
E. Gadd: Strange…I never equipped it
with a Self-Destruct ability.
Luigi:
You didn't?
E. Gadd: Nope! Let's party!
Luigi: Huh!
And so Luigi was dragged into yet another one of Peach's mindless celebrations. The Baby Mario's, Youthful Toadsworth and Baby Peach all left in a Time Hole, which promptly and conveniently disappeared as did all the rest. Youthful Toadsworth tried to say goodbye but Toadsworth found a shiny coin on the ground and ignored his younger self. Upon arriving in the past rebuilt Princess Peach's Castle, the Baby Mario Bros. ran into Elvin Gadd, who was there to demonstrate his new machine…the Brain Switcher! It only worked once and then exploded. But considering the people they tested it on were babies no one cared. Who would notice the difference between Baby Mario now acting like Baby Luigi and vice versa? Luigi was prepared to relax after his logic defying adventure but Mario would have none of it. He planned, if Mario DOES plan, on going on another adventure following the celebration…and he was bringing Luigi. Bowser was properly shamed after serving a useless side role in this adventure and then being possessed…sort of…by yet ANOTHER female entity. At least the Shadow Queen didn't get him…now THAT would be embarrassing. And so ends yet another mindless adventure…what will happen next!
The Very End. Seriously.
