                                          Reunion "You ought to be proud of yourself, my boy. You've captured all of these ghosts in just a single night! I am glad you caught Uncle Grimmly before you turned the lights back on, I must say. You've only got Vincent Van Gore to collect now, and of course, that room's Boo, and then you'll just have to deal with King Boo. Come now, sonny, you look like you've been caught in a thunderstorm without an umbrella." "I'm… just worried about Mario, Gadd," Luigi sighed, staring down at the Game Boy Horror that had served him so well. "And I know that King Boo's a really powerful ghost. I can't stop

                                     Being A Brother What a night it had been, Luigi thought, as he made his way through the old haunted Mansion once again, clutching the nozzle of his Poltergust 3000 as if it was his only lifeline, which, all due things considered, it was. He was relieved when some of the Common Ghosts had started avoiding him since this could only make things easier for the green-capped plumber. Of course, there were still many ghosts roaming about the corridors that loved nothing more than to try and play some pranks on the human that had so foolishly wandered into their midst. Luigi was currently sporting a bloodied nose

                              30: The Beautiful Game "Ready for the match, guys?" Luigi asked as he finished putting on his protective gear. He saw that everybody else had also put on their gear; it was definitely needed considering how violent the football matches could be in comparison to the earlier tournaments. It was almost safer in Super Smash Bros Brawl but hey, Luigi was fine with all of this because not only had he faced down Eldritch Abominations in bloody battles but he was now getting some well-overdue fan attention seeing that even during the brutal game, he was still quite the gentleman and he was respected for that as he was b

                        Broken Scalchop, Broken Heart This was it! This was the last straw! From now on, he would never think about having a relationship again! He wouldn't think about finding love again! Too many times had his heart been broken. It had a tendency to heal fast the next day though since it was usually in his nature to remain the happy-go-lucky Pokémon. But now that a member of his own damn species had rejected him, scorned him even, in front of just about everybody! and leapt into the arms of his defeated rival, what point was there to love? Not only had his heart been broken far more severely this time, but even his s

                                 29: Stop! Waluigi Time! "Wahahaha! That trophy's gonna have the name of Waluigi on it today!" Waluigi snickered to himself as he polished the body of his beloved Flame Runner Bike; he loved the fact that the Kart Officials had seen it fit to introduce bikes in this tournament. It was so satisfying constantly performing wheelies on the track even though he had absolutely no need to. It was even more satisfying when one realised that you could use the bike to avoid the annoying POW Block that others dared to activate. Those in karts had no chance. They were fools; Waluigi knew this. Oh, this latest tournament

                              28. Don't Stop! Get Away! "IT'S MADNESS! I've got to snap out of this! You have to free us before we're all completely brainwashed! ...But for now, why don't you gaze at the fish with me? You look tense. Come relax." "Why, thank you Mario, for getting so many Power Stars! You're amazing. Yep, real amazing. But… why don't you stay with us for a while? You're looking tired…" "Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle! Ha-ha, just kidding. But why not take a break? You don't want to risk your lives now do you…?" Mario, well-known hero of the Mushroom Kingdom and completely aweso

                      Chapter 27: Minus World (NES) "A-stomping we will go, a-stomping we will go, hi-ho the merry-o, a-stomping we will go!" Whilst Mario was busy singing and simultaneously stomping on Goombas as heroes generally did, Luigi had the awful feeling that princess-saving was going to become a time-consuming habit for them. Indeed, had not Bowser expressed his desire to constantly kidnap the princess just for the hell of it? Or was it so that he could take over the kingdom? Something like that anyway. He also wondered what the heck he would be doing with Peach (or Princess Toadstool for those who had not earned the right to refe

                            Chapter 26: The Sugary Thing… "Oh, stars above! Not that! Anything but that!" "What have we done to deserve this? We're innocent, I tell you! Innocent! For all the nice readers out there, spare us Toad! SPARE US!" Now, as you may have gathered, something truly horrific was about to happen to Mario and Luigi and unfortunately for them, they had no way of getting out of it. Yes, it was probably on par with Wart's torture of the entire gang when he forced them to watch the old Mario cartoons and the film. But somebody had to deal with the purple monstrosity that had invaded their otherwise happy lives; this wa

                                   25. Super Small "JUST HOW MANY LIVES DOES THIS PLUMBER HAVE?" Bowser roared. "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO KEEP A PRINCESS KIDNAPPED FOR CRYING OUT LOUD?" He had heard the news from one of his minions that once again, his wonderful Decoy Bowser had been defeated and now the plumber was merrily continuing on his way through yet another world. That plumber… it wasn't exactly the typical occupation for a so-called hero but this Mario sure was putting a wrench in the works, and indeed, a spanner. "I calculate that he has three lives left, your Gnarliness," said Bowser's right-hand and highly trusted minion, Ka

                         24. Chief Chilly's Chilly Reception "You can plead and beg all you like, Mario, but there is no way I am going into that painting!" "I'm not pleading or begging, Luigi, I am demanding that you go through this painting to defeat the boss and find the key to rescue Wario for crying out loud! I mean, Wario, of all people!" Yup, the Mushroom Kingdom's finest and most famous pair of heroes, Mario and er… you know, the other famous guy, what is he called…? Oh, yes, Luigi, were busy indulging in that delightful brotherly habit of theirs which involved lots of arguing and shouting and pointing fingers. The basis
