Author's Note: I decided that I am going to rewrite the ENTIRE series. You can call this a reboot. I will keep the old story up for comparison, but I hope the new readers will just follow through this story. It has been over 4 years since I wrote this story. I was just a high schooler waiting to graduate at the time. Now, I am a University student waiting to graduate. So much have happened in my life between now and the first time I published this story. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the story! I am especially excited to see the new faces I will see reviewing/favoriting/watching this fanfic.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
The sky was a clear blue and the sunlight shone on the land below, more specifically, shone on Luigi Circuit. The crowd cheered for the racers as the racers approached the starting lines with their custom karts. This was a special race as it only featured those who are representing the Mushroom Kingdom for the famous Super Smash Brothers.
The Super Smash Brothers is an organization that gathers fighters from across the universe. Every year, only the best fighters would be chosen to represent their home planet in order to participate in a tournament hosted by the Super Smash Brothers. The fighters travel to a small planet that was specifically designed to house the arenas for the tournaments. The fighters would be provided with free housing during the tournaments.
The organization is not only about searching for the best fighters, it was also an opportunities for the fighters to network. They meet other unique fighters and even develop life-long friendships or life-long rivalries. The organization invites both heroes and villains. The heroes and villains would often be separated, for natural reasons. Nonetheless, The Super Smash Brothers gives everyone an equal opportunity to compete in the tournaments and win the grand prize.
Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Wario, Yoshi, and Bowser were the fighters representing the Mushroom Kingdom. Their race karts would be in position while the racers kept an eye on the signal hanging on a fishing hook. A Lakitu would be holding onto the fishing rod with the signal and remain afloat above the racers.
Suddenly a shout was heard from behind the racers.
"Hey wait for me!"
The crowd faced a young koopa, resembling a younger version of Bowser, the koopa king. The young koopa drove behind the racers and sneered.
The Lakitu sighed. "Look kid, this race is only for those who are going to that yearly convention, alright?"
The koopa child crossed his arms and flipped off the Lakitu by raising an inappropriate finger. He retorted, "I'm going to race whether you like it or not!"
"Bwahaha that's my son!" laughed Bowser. Bowser gave a thumbs up to his son.
The racers, besides the koopa child, were not the only one participating in the Super Smash Brothers tournaments. There are also two special guests sitting on the front row seats. These guests are Link and Zelda and they were also fighters representing their Kingdom of Hyrule for the tournaments.
Link sat in a laid back position with his feet resting on the railing. "I didn't know Bowser had a son," he said to Zelda.
"I believe his name is Bowser Jr. Princess Peach told me that he looks a lot like his father," explained Zelda.
Link closely examined the young koopa. He was indeed similar to his father, except he was obviously younger and his hair was in a pony tail. He also wore a bandana over his neck with a crudely drawn Jr. rode on a custom motorcycle, unlike the other racers who were only riding go-karts.
The light flashed red: the racers gripped the steering wheel and the crowd grew silent. The light flashed yellow: the racers held their foot above the gas pedal. The light flashed green: the racers smacked the gas pedal and accelerated. All that was left on the starting line were the exhaust fumes from the go-karts and motorcycle.
Mario was barely in the lead as Bowser closed in on his blind spot. Bowser made a sudden sharp turn to Mario and slammed onto the red plumber's kart. Bowser's weight gave him a great advantage, causing Mario's kart to lose balance, while still keeping balance of his own kart.
All of the racers drove through the item block and received an item. Luigi took out the mushroom he received and gained speed for a short amount of time, but Wario tossed a red shell as soon as Luigi sped in front of him. Luigi's kart flipped over after impact, allowing Wario to easily drive ahead of the green plumber.
Bowser Jr. was in last place, but still held onto his determination. He raced toward Luigi, but Luigi took out another mushroom and gained speed. Unfortunately, Luigi lost control of his kart on the sharp curve. He quickly turned the steering wheel to regain control, but merged onto to the grass instead. Bowser Jr. drove passed Luigi and took out his red shells. He threw all three of his shell and struck Wario, Mario, and Peach. All three racers flipped and Bowser Jr. drove ahead.
Yoshi was approaching Bowser. He took out his green shell and threw it at Bowser, but the koopa king threw a banana peel behind to block the green shell. Bower made a sharp turn on the curve and used a power slide to gain a slight boost.
Suddenly, Wario crashed through many of the racers using the star he grabbed mere seconds ago. He was approaching Yoshi from behind. Suddenly, all of the racers, except Luigi and Wario, would be struck by lightning and shrunken to bite size. Luigi snickered as he drove passed the tiny drivers.
Wario crashed through Yoshi. Everyone would now be in the second lap. Wario grabbed an item which came out to be a "useless" banana peel. Wario discarded it. Bowser, too focused on trying to catch up to Wario, accidentally slipped on the banana peel and spun. The King Koopa crashed onto a wall. Yoshi and Peach drove ahead of Bowser. Mario tossed a red shell at Bowser, only making it more difficult for the King Koopa to recover from the crash. Luigi quickly followed behind Mario.
All of the racers were on their third and final lap. Wario remained in first place, followed by Yoshi, Peach, Mario, Bowser, and Bowser Jr.
The racers closed in on each other, except for Bowser Jr. who remained behind. All of the racers drove through the item block. Suddenly, the karts began to fly everywhere. Shells were fired, banana peels were tossed and Peach panicked when the blooper ink splattered onto her face.
The racers passed the curve and more items were used when they drove through more item blocks. The racers cluttered more into each other, throwing items like maniacs.
Bowser Jr. remained confident despite behind in last place. He drove through the item block and flashed a smile. The crowd grew more tense as the racers were approaching the finish line. A Toad quickly took out his camera to prepare a photo finish. The racers concentrated on the finish line after they passed through the final curve, but a bob-omb stood right in front. Many of the drivers screamed before the bob-omb exploded. The racers flew into the air and Bowser Jr. passed the finish line.
"That was some race!" shouted Link. He cheered along with the crowd.
"Wow, he's very cunning," mumbled Zelda.
"Well he did made that bob-omb explode on everyone's faces."
Zelda giggled. "You also have to remember that those who are in last place gets the better weapon. No doubt he took advantage of that."
"You watch too much Mario kart races."
Zelda smiled at him. "It's something I do during my spare time."
"What's next? You're an expert on Mario Golf?"
"Why don't we go see Peach?" asked Zelda all of a sudden.
The racers, except Bowser and his son, gathered around a Toad, examining the photo taken at the moment of the racers crossing the line.
"It seems that Mario finished second and Yoshi finished third!" announced the Toad.
A pink Toad, walked up to Mario and handed him a silver second place trophy. Yoshi smiled at Mario and received his bronzed third place trophy. The two racers shook hands with each other.
"Ha ha!" taunted Bowser Jr. as he pulled his large first-place trophy on his red wagon. Mario was grinding his teeth and balled up his fist. Yoshi's eye twitched.
Prince Peach smiled at the red plumber. "Don't worry Mario, you can still prove to be the best in Super Smash Bros. Brawl."
Mario's eyes flashed in determination. "Yes! I will-a be da best in da Super Smash Bros. Brawl!" he shouted to the world.
Link rolled his eyes, but he stilled approached the red plumber and shook his hand. "Not bad Mario, but you still got your ass whooped by a kid and now you're going to get your ass whooped by me at the Super Smash Brothers tournament!"
"Ha-ha, very funny Link," Mario laughed sarcastically.
Bowser Jr. walked up to Link and Mario. "So what's this Super Smash Brothers?" he asked.
"It's a fighting tournament for the grown-ups." Link replied. " You can always watch us on TV if you have cable. You get to watch me beat the s*** out of Mario and your dad!"
"Nu-uh! I will-a kick your ass!" retorted Mario.
Bowser Jr. chuckled. "How about I kick both of your asses?"
Link and Mario would fall to the ground and laugh.
"C'mon!" shouted Bowser, waving to his child.
Bowser Jr. rushed to his father, but the koopa child stopped for a moment, staring at Mario and Link. The two heroes were laughing until the princesses walked up to them and crossed their arms simultaneously. Mario and Link stopped laughing.
"Get in the Koopa Cruiser!" demanded his father.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. :) So the Koopa Cruise appeared in Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga and Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. The Luigi Circuit I am referring to is the one from Mario Kart Wii. How did Link and Zelda came to their world? I'll just leave that up to my readers.
Also, I am aware that a new Super Smash Bros game is coming out! Unfortunately, this will only be about Super Smash Bros Brawl and the characters in it. Maybe the fourth story will have the new characters. Thank you all for reading this story and I would love to see your reviews! I am going to update this story twice a week. Don't worry, I won't make the A/N this long. It's only for this first chapter!
I accept anonymous reviews as well. Don't be shy!
