Bowser: "(Whispers) Hey Mario why are you so tiny, and why does your hair look hideous."

Mario: "Listen here you big idiot. I'm tired of you coming into my house, disturbing my peace with your ugly face. Go bother someone else!"

Luigi: "Mario, Why are you yelling!?"

Mario: "He started it!!"

Bowser:"I didn't say anything I swear, he started yelling at me Weegee🥺"

Mario: "He's lying!"

Luigi: "Then why did I only hear you Mario, Stop being Mean to him!"

Bowser is always Bullying Mario but no matter what Luigi Only catches Mario being Mean to Bowser so Luigi put his foot down

SO...

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Spoilers for those who haven't played

It was pretty speedy on the first half up until Mr. L showed up. FREAKING LOVE HIM. HE'S SO GOOFY WHEN TRYING TO BE EVIL...AND HE'S ALSO OTHER THINGS IN MY HEAD BUT I'm gonna keep it rated G huehuehue.

Where the hell did SQUIRP GO. I love him 😟. He was a sweet baby boi. I see the implication of what happened after giving away the pure heart...

Francis. The. Worst.

Tippi having a TINY crush on Mario was FUCKING ADORABLE

Bowser was an absolute chad of a character. He and Carrie was such good combo to cheese everything. I even cheesed the final battle that way. Got the....THING cornered and won pretty quickly!

Mimi 😰 Enough said.

The cloud area was a PAIN in the ass. But then again, most of the levels after the green door were. I had....so many apples...until it dawned on me a little too late that i didn't have to PICK ALL THREE FROM EACH TREE.

The Luvbi bit LEGIT made me tear up a little.

Dimentio snapping everyone away was funny in a sense because I can see why Bowser and MAYBE Mario ended up in hell while Peach was in heaven. BUT WEEGEE, MY BOI. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO END UP IN HELL AS WELL?

I KEPT forgetting to use Tippi for clues almost all the time. So when i finally got used to her gimmick, the game takes her away. Francis, go jump off a ✨CLIFF✨

So yeah um....the minute i saw Bleck as a character with a cape and top hat I told myself

ᵒʰ ⁿᵒ

The minute I saw Dimentio as a jester who was a little malignant piece of shit with a TWISTED SENSE OF MORALITY...

ᵒʰ ⁿᵒ

And the minute I saw the BEAN SPROUT Floro sprouts ESPECIALLY after being told to draw a Luigi with one because it looked cute...

ᵒʰ ⁿᵒ

The minute I SAW ONE ON HIS HEAD AND HE WAS REVEALED TO PRACTICALLY BE A SLEEPER AGENT FOR DIMENTIO

G/T July Day 3: Impulsive

[For this prompt I did a short fic + illustration of Bowuigi!!]

Synopsis: When Princess Peach sets up Bowser and Luigi on a Blind-Date (after they've so obviously been hitting it off whenever Luigi visits Bowser in his Prison Chambers), the romantic atmosphere leads to an impulsive embrace...

Characters:

Luigi, Tiny!Bowser and Toad (tho he's barely in it- Also, these are the Movie Versions of the characters and this takes place a few months after the Movie~)

Word-Count: 1,138

Bowser eagerly adjusted his little white bowtie as he stood on the nicely decorated table (that to him was now approximately a third of the size of his former throne-room). When a few Toads had entered his prison chambers a few hours prior and told him to prepare for a date, he truly thought the Princess was finally willing to give him a chance! Although, there was another human who'd been on his mind a lot more over the past few months...

...

Luigi fidgeted nervously as he approached the fancy restaurant. The Princess had told him just a day ago that she was setting him up on a Blind-Date with, "a guy I just KNOW you'll love, even if it seems strange at first!" He honestly wasn't 100% sure what she'd meant by that, but he trusted her word.

"Hey, Luigi! You're just in time!" Toad enthusiastically greeted him at the door, wearing a uniform typical of a waiter in this sort of establishment, "If you'll just follow me I'll show you to your table! This place is normally super busy right now, buuut the Princess made sure it'd be empty especially for you and your Date!" Toad wittered on as he led Luigi across the restaurant...

The plumber felt his knees go weak as his gaze landed on the table and he locked eyes with the King Koopa, looking just as shell-shocked as he did.

"So! I'll just leave your menus here, I'll be back shortly for your order aaand I'll leave you two to your date!" Toad couldn't hide his shit-eating grin as he practically dragged Luigi into his chair before hurrying away to the kitchen.

"LUIGI? YOU'RE my date??" Bowser growled, feeling a fiery blaze in his stomach (even though at this size he was unable to actually breathe any flames). He had to crane his neck to even see the gangly plumber's blushing face, towering above him.

"B-Bowser! Hey!" He could only stammer, "I- uh- h-how have you been? Um, y-y'know, since I last saw you... yesterday..." He trailed off, seeing Bowser's unimpressed facial expression.

"JUST BECAUSE YOU VISIT ME ALMOST EVERY DAY DOESN'T MEAN I- THAT I'M-" He sighed angrily, "Was this your idea?"

"What? No! I-I mean- I HAVE thought about m-maybe asking you out a few times, I guess-"

"You- you have? Really?" His tough facade cracked slightly, and he tried to ignore the butterflies he briefly felt at that confession.

Luigi nodded, at a sudden loss for words. There was something so cute about how the tiny Bowser's demeanour had shifted, he thought to himself.

"Huh, nobody's ever wanted to ask me out..." Bowser thought, noticing the soulful sincerity in Luigi's sky-blue eyes, "I suppose I could at least indulge him a little, just for tonight..."

...

Once the initial shock had worn off, and the two had settled down and eaten their meals (Luigi had just gone for spaghetti, whereas Bowser had managed to devour an entire steak), the conversation was flowing just the same as it would when Luigi would normally visit Bowser.

"Those stupid Toads didn't even give me a chair!" Bowser grumbled, getting a bit fed up with sitting on the table's wooden surface. He'd been sat beside a wine-glass that was about twice his height, sipping his drink out of a shot-glass instead.

"Y-you know- if you're uncomfortable sitting there- maaaybe I- I could-" Luigi gestured vaguely with his palm, "I mean- if you want-"

Bowser rolled his eyes with a smirk, waltzing over to the sheepish giant and tugging at his sleeve impatiently, "Alright then, Weegee, lemme up."

The plumber let out a bashful giggle before lowering his hand for the Koopa to clamber onto. He just managed to suppress an "Aww," at just how tiny Bowser actually was, fitting so perfectly into the palm of his hand. He couldn't help but to admire every one of his intimidating spikes and scales, knowing how easily he could still use them to do some damage... Though, it was endearing to him how those harsh features contrasted greatly against his soft ruby hair and the softer side of his personality.

Bowser smirked again at how flustered Luigi got just by holding him. He had to admit that the blush painted across his face, just barely concealed by that cute moustache, was adorable. Plus there was just something so sweet about the fact that Luigi had gone to all the effort of wearing a pine green tuxedo (complete with a charming green bowtie and 'L' cufflinks), but had still worn his signature hat over his fluffy hair! He'd also put on the most subtle nude makeup around his shimmering blue eyes. Eyes that looked at Bowser with a sense of love that the Koopa had never truly felt before...

"It's kinda funny how you- how you towered over me before, but now I can do this!" Luigi chuckled, earning a light scowl from Bowser, "Can't say I've ever been on a date like this!"

A very noticeable blush crossed Bowser's face at that word, "Well, I can't say I've ever even BEEN on a Date. But..." By this point his tough facade had dissipated completely, "You've been a pretty great date, Weegee. I guess... love really does make a guy come out of his shell."

Luigi's entire face felt like it was burning up as, without really thinking, he impulsively leant in for a kiss. His heart was racing as his lips collided with Bowser's entire face, embracing him with nothing but pure love. Soft piano music played gently from the speakers somewhere above the two, adding to the romantic atmosphere. Bowser was honestly surprised that Luigi had made the first move, but he was so enamoured with the timid giant that he instantaneously reciprocated the passionate smooch, leaning into the plush lips and stroking his chin with clawed fingers. As the two leant even more into it, they realised just how much they'd been wanting it-

"DESSERT!" Toad suddenly burst into the scene, completely startling the duo. He seemed entirely unphased by their embrace as he delivered the sweet treats (a Chilli Chocolate Cake and a Strawberry Cheesecake).

"Oh! Um! Thanks!!" Luigi let out an anxious chuckle, still holding Bowser close to his face, "It- it looks really good!"

"Heh, you talking about the dessert or your boyfriend?" Toad teased as he walked away, internally super excited that the Princess' idea had actually worked! He chuckled as his question was met with a growl from Bowser and a yelp from Luigi, "Enjoy the food, Lovebirds!"

"Boyfriends..." Bowser muttered, making Luigi's heart skip a beat, "Huh... I could get used to that," He smiled, earning yet another surprised yelp from Luigi.

"Same here!" He grinned from ear to ear, already about to lean in for another impulsive smooch...

I watched the movie, and I just had to y'all imagine Luigi taking care of the tiny bowser. Luigi begging mario if he can take, keep bowser and weegee, make sure the koopa king behaves himself. Mario sees peach in the distance, mouthing quietly "PLEASE TAKE HIM! HES BEEN A HEADACHE. " Mario accepts Luigi squealing and jumps in delight. At first, bowser hated the idea of being in the care of the mario Bros well, Luigi being the only person to take care of him, though. Then, over time, the bowser starts to grow the liking to Luigi. Then, one day, he is playing his mini piano other than his usual peaches song. He sings about Luigi, a song called Greenie. Bowser realizes he's in love with the green 'stache cutie (This is a wip/ref, so yeah, I'm gonna finish it on the weekend if I can and maybe watch the movie again 😅)

BURN FOR YOU 🔥💚

SUMMARY: Luigi found himself in a strange alien world, alone and terrified. But perhaps this place isn't so bad?

CHAPTER 7:

The next time Luigi woke up was with a someone in front of his face, two black eyes staring at him very, very closely. Too close. With a shriek, he jump our of bed, forgetting it was actually further from the floor that most beds in his world, hitting his head. Luckily, there was a carpet underneath, softening his fall.

"You don't have to scream, I'm not going to hurt you." He heard a young voice say with worry, still rubbing his head. Looking up, he saw it was a much smaller and cuter version of Bowser. The young koopa has a ponytail on his head, a fang sticking out and black beady eyes with a bandana with a drawing simulating teeth around his neck. Che carino! Shrieked internally Luigi.

"Sorry, bambino." He paused, wondering if he should say the next part. Although... "I was just startled. Most people don't like to wake up with another face so close to them." The plumber explained, a nervous chuckle leaving his mouth. He wasn't scared, just startled, that's all! The explanation didn't seem to help the younger one who tilted his head to the side in confusion. How could the tiny koopa be so cute? "I'm Luigi, by the way." The plumber introduced himself warmly.

"I know," a smirk grew on the young face. "I heard you tell it to Dad."

"Dad?" Wondered the human, before remembering the only other person he told his name recently, his face paling at the realisation. "You're the King's son!?" His exclamation made the kid pout, unhappy with the negative reaction. The idea of the King's son here was frightening for the poor plumber. Bowser was probably worried not knowing where his son is! Dio Mio.

"Yeah! What if I am?" Straightening his back, the boy pointed at the human, his finger trembling a little. "As the prince, you should show your deferent... deference?" His voice faltered at the last part, not quite getting the pronunciation.

"Deference. You said it right." He assured the kid, his mustache moving with his smile. Well, maybe it's not that bad. His body relaxed with relief, his shoulders aching from the stiffness.

"I know that!" Spat the other, scowling. "I'm Bowser Junior," he said proudly next, crossing his arms against his chest and showing his toothy grin.

"Nice to meet you, il principe Bowser Junior." Smiled kindly the plumber, holding his hand for a hand shake.

"Just Junior," grumbled the other, a smile of his own forming in his face against his wishes. Weegee is nice, the prince decided with a nod. He's not mama but he could be his new mama. "Now that you're awake we are going to play!" Announced the kid, taking hold of Luigi's hands and running out of the room. A koppa guard yelled after them, too slow to stop them.

Laughing at his success to steal the green plumber Junior kept running towards his playroom, not really worried about what his Dad would do if he found that.

"Piccolo Principe, por favore, please, don't run so fast." Luigi was already panting, not used to this much exercise after spending a few days barely moving. And he just got over his fever. The boy ignored him, running faster. The poor plumber was dragged through the rest of the path until they stopped dead in front of a red door.

"This is my playroom." Getting inside, Junior let go of the plumber, running to show some of his toys. His energy is endless but endearing. Luigi couldn't stop the small smile that appeared on his face. "And this, my Dad did this. He's really good at making toys and karts." Kept explaining the young koopa. Next, he went to another part of the room where many papers and coloring materials were haphazardly thrown over the floor and on a low table. "Let's draw!"

And that's what they did for at least an hour, until they were found by Kamek, who gave out a tired sigh. Of course neither of the royal koopas would follow his advice, when do they? However, it was nice to see the prince so happy with someone else after these last gloomy months. With some luck, perhaps the human could brighten the koopa lands with his presence.

"Shouldn't you be in class, young prince?" The Magikoopa's voice made Luigi jump, raising his head in time to see Junior run up to Kamek and give him a hug. The old koopa hugged him back before turning his attention back to the human, who smiled shily. "And you should be resting, not out of your bed."

Guiltily, Luigi apologized and got up, ready to go back to his room.

"Wait!" The kid jumped into the human's arms, a piece of paper in one of his small claws. With a big smile, he showed it to him. "This is for you."

Taking it carefully into his other hand while holding Junior with the other, Luigi looked at it. It was a simple drawing depicting a small koopa, Junior, and what appeared to be the plumber himself in green. They were holding hands. "This is really good! Grazie, piccola stella." He replied warmly down at the little koopa in his arms. This is one of the sweetest things someone has ever done for him. "I'll treasure it forever." His answer made the boy's gaze light up.

Soon, to Junior's disappointment, Luigi had to leave him, along with Kamek.

"He seems to like you." He mentioned the Magikoopa, floating on his broom. "He is a good boy." It was the only thing Luigi could say, also saddened by having to leave.

"Yes, he is." Kamek whispered softly to himself.

My dumb stupid “ homework” is done and my job/employment is safe (for now) so why not I give y’all another dimigi idea (dimentio x luigi)

OK this is kind of the same set up as last time in where Luigi, Mario peach and Bowser just finished saving the universe but instead of it being that night he saw dimentio in his dream’s, it took a week for Luigi to hear him in his head

When this first happened, Luigi was scared shitless! at home all alone with Mario not coming back until late in the afternoon the next day!! Which was in hindsight a good thing since it gave him at least a little bit of time to get used to the voice while Mario was not around (that and to make sure he’s not crazy)

That means that once again he doesn’t tell Mario about what’s going on. He doesn’t want to worry him because he saved the universe last week.. (smh)  Mario still saw him jump every once in a while, but it’s small enough, in where Luigi can just pass it off as something silly

With that being said if I heard the voice of a villain, that mind controlled me to help him succeed in destroying the universe in my head saying “ how long does it take to style a tiny fuzzy mustache?”  I would jump Yelp and spin around, using my comb as a weapon too!

He wouldn’t really be able to pass it off as something silly at such a loud yelp

 Ever since that first time dimentio spoke he’s been putting his input on things luigi does in his day to day. At first it was just insults and jabs with an occasional question that isn’t so politely placed. Although, at some point that change to occasional genuine question

And it’s because Luigi always answered his questions, no matter how rudely placed, and when he got his answers, he was fascinated by Luigi’s description of the world and it also got him curious on the green fellow himself

Up the point where he started asking personal questions. When he first did so, it genuinely startled Luigi but for different reasons instead of it just being due to the sudden voice. But just like with any other question, the jester asked Luigi gave him a genuine answer. 

“ what is your favorite place in the entirety of the mushroom kingdom?” dimentio asked as Luigi walked down the woodsy path to his and Mario’s house

….. “the casino” Luigi answered hesitantly, his gaze focused on the ground.

It was dimentio’s turn to be surprised causing a laugh out of the jester,leaving luigi feeling warm

at some point, it became less and less questions about the world and more about Luigi

And At some point along Luigis adventure of getting the disembodied voice out of his head, he became well acquainted with said voice although one day they burst out into an argument (Demento said something about his mustache) so when Mario came into the bathroom with a Weegee screaming at his reflection… you can say that he was concerned

And when Luigi explained to him that the split smiled Villain is talking to him in his head…that it didn’t help with his concerns

In fact it did the exact opposite…

Aaand now he’s in peach’s castle with the two worrying over him…then Bowser joined cuz OF COURSE it’s game night so not only Bowser is here but his best friend Daisy, waluigi and wario were there…it was hectic to say the least

So much so that he had to leave the room to get some air

Dimentio was worried in which surprised him because he never thought that he would ever feel worried for the plumber and yet here he is

He didn’t say anything though, not until Luigi’s heart slowed down it was a simple question. “are you ok?” 

“Oh Um..ya just not used to being the center of attention hehe”

“Hmm well they were being loud and annoying so I did book it out of there too”

 if Luigis Giggle did something to dimentio’s brain that is for him to know and him to know only. “their just concerned… well half of them are” luigi says

“Well I think they should have a bit more faith in you after all you were quite a foe”

Luigi pouts to that yet thanks him nonetheless.

“So what do u plan on doing?” dimentio asked

“Mama Mia I have no clue”

“I think you should march back in there and give them a peace of your mind”

“Hehe….you know what your right!”

“I’m right? I mean obviously but you usually don’t go with my ideas”

“ I am going to kindly give them a piece of my mind”

“Of course” Demento really shouldn’t be surprised but he’s happy nonetheless that Luigi is taking his advice and so with that all being said and done, Luigi stands up and tells the group that they should continue with game night as per usual so he can show them all that he is fine (at least physically)

And so they do

Aaaaaand this post is too long so I’m gonna leave it here and make other posts about these two in this scenario. Sense frankly I have too many ideas 



MARIO MOVIE

some of my silly little thoughts

First of all, I liked that hardly any of the dialogue in the trailers matched up with what was in the actual movie (in the case of “Mushroom Kingdom, here we come,” all I can say is THANK GOODNESS). Kept me on my toes, even when thinking “ok, this bit was in a trailer”.

Second of all, EVERYONE DID A GREAT JOB IMO, INCLUDING CHRIS PRATT! WAHOO! Like a lot of people in this unforgiving place known as the internet, I had my doubts about Mr. Pratt, but I was so glad to be proven wrong. He did a great job!

One more thing before the fun bit. Luigi’s always been my favourite, and omg, they really did him justice! The trailers made me a little worried he might not get as much screen time since he was the “damsel in distress” of sorts, but we still got plenty of weegee action! And of course, Charlie Day was perfect!

Now to the fun stuff!

⚠️NOT REALLY SPOILERS UNLESS YOU WANT EVERY TINY THING TO BE A SURPRISE⚠️

- Was not expecting to see Mario and Luigi’s full family, but I loved it!

- It’s been said in other posts I’ve seen, but I’ll say it again: Luigi has bad knees. I don’t know why I like that detail so much, but I do.

- LUIGI’S RINGTONE WAS THE GAMECUBE STARTUP SOUND OMG

- I loved all the music throughout. All the different tunes they used from different Mario games, and the way they worked them in was so nice. I don’t know why, but it made me particularly excited when the music during the kart customisation scene was based on the music from the kart customisation screen from Mario Kart 8. Like, it’s so obvious - what else would they use? - but I just appreciated it so much.

- The interactions with all the toads in the mushroom kingdom. Aside from Luigi, the roads are my favourites

- DK Seth Rogen did the full on Seth Rogen laugh, and I f*cking died (in a good way). I loved him as DK.

- 🎵Peaches🎵. I love you, Jack Black. Bowser may not be king of the world, but Jack Black sure is.

- I lost my sh*t in that bit where that blonde kong with the glasses was driving them through the jungle kingdom.

I will definitely have more to say, but I’ll leave it there for now. In summary, as someone who’s been a massive Mario since childhood, I loved this so much, and I’m so glad I loved it.

Movie!Bowser after M&M joined his song: 🎶Oh my gosh! How long have you been standing there?🎵

M&M: 🎶I've been right here this whole time!🎵

Movie!Bowser: 🎶Okay, now I wanna die...🎶

M&M not having this, picks up the tiny koopa: 🎵Oh! We break the laws of attraction!🎶

Movie!Bowser: 🎵A duet will maybe do☺🎶

M&M: 🎵I invited, Weegee too!🎶

Bowser falls in love with MM because she'll sing cheesy songs with him to help pass the time while he sits in tiny jail.

MM is just having fun... probably. Or at least she doesn't let herself think it's anything more than friendly - he's tiny, after all!

FLUDD was here on a mission - a mission to check on both Mario and Luigi, and ensure their safety. Under the command of the Master Hand, FLUDD’s primary purpose right now is to make sure that both Luigi and Mario are in stable conditions, both physically and mentally. Although primarily used to clean messes and/or disperse monsters, FLUDD is also known for being a supportive sidekick to any grand-name adventurer.

Bad, Bane, and Blockbuster: I hope the title of this confession is not construed wrongly. James Rolfe is somewhat funny. I believe he is the best video game reviewer online. I think that video games are boring, I think that it's boring to do nothing but talk about him. I hate Rolfe because he's rich enough to buy a Bugs Bunny costume and make a CGI vat of Pepsi, and I have no idea how to do either of those things. But I don't like him mainly because my comics are funnier then his videos. My videos aren't funnier then his videos, true, but my comics are a lot better than his videos, and my comics are also better than Mike Matei's comics. I hate the unholy trinity. I hate James, Bootsy, and Mike. What a bunch of frauds. My comics are funny, none of you are very funny. Like, you're a little bit funny, but you're not that funny. Like, you're a tiny bit funny. Board James is a bad series. What a lazy series. you just play board games and you act as if making 30 episodes is hard. And you think the Mr. Bucket joke is funny. the one episode I like is Big Rigs, but that's only because the game is funny. The nerd isn't very funny. The nerd is never funny. What a profane idiot. The movie reviews are OK, but once James put Twenty Two on his top 10 list of Twilight Zones I know he's bullshitting me. it's a vulgar man from vulgar land and he yells and defecates upon the video game. Mike Matei is also not very funny. James Rolfe's shitty homemade movie has a Wikipedia page, my shitty homemade movie doesn't have a Wikipedia page. I have drawn over 1,000 pages of original content. I wrote COLLEGE BUDDIES. You are not funny, nerd. Bootsy and Mike are also not very funny. You're kind of funny. I'm funnier. I'm a lot funnier. I'm a real comedian. You're an amateur. And that's OK, that's all well and good, but then again, I don't have the Wikipedia Page. that's just not right, you just made one movie. I've made two movies. I'm a better person than you, you're not that funny. You may have been born in 1990. I wasn't born in 1990. I was born in 2002. Even better, my content is superior to yours. I am a magic man, I am the comic man. I am the walrus, I am the eggman. My comics are pretty good. not the best comics, of course, but better than anything Mike Matei could ever shit out. Mike Matei looks like a rolled up raisin. Anyway, I hope you do not remove this post, and if James Rolfe sees this, please tell me if you agree. I assume you don't agree. Not only are you not a nerd, you aren't even a comedian. You just put on stupid glasses and put pens in your pocket and you're a nerd. That's not how being a nerd works. Your content is very bad, but it's watchable. Anyway, this is just kind of an open letter to the Angry Video Game Dumbass, James Rolfe, whose Wikipedia picture looks like a freshly shat out turd. I make good comics, but nobody has read my comics, and yet you have more views and more popularity than I do. this is sad, I believe culture may be dead. Are you the poo poo man, Rolfe? Rolfe is a bad person, he pretends to be an artist and he is really a boring elite. he has never even made a video game in his life, but people made video games about him, and he made a video about the video games people made about them. The video games about him are bad and they're made by people who don't know what real art is. Real art is a good comic. I make good comics. Mike Matei is a bad person, he is a fiend. Bootsy is a dope. What a maroon. What a putz What a spazz. the trio of Bootsy and Mike and James is a bane to my very existence, I want to projectile vomit into a hat! And to think that now the reviews aren't even interesting, now it's a shit Blockbuster parody, and who even are all these guys who aren't James or Mike or Spankins P.I.? And why are their discussions about interesting movies so boring? And why is James reviewing Mac And Me after everyone has already done that to death? That's when I stopped watch Drew Gooden, so you'd better watch out, James you little frowny scamp, I don't like you, and I hate to confess this, but I'm a funnier person than you are. You can frown like nobody I know how, how do you frown that big? It's like your jowls are made of cream pie pudding. You are the big bad man, I am the comics fellow. I draw comics, I've drawn so much and yet I get no money for it, and here James does a shit dashlane commercial with his shit Matrix parody. What a sellout, what a putz. And also, why in the Board James series does Mike have the f word prior to his name? That's not funny, I hope you're aware of that. it's not funny as is when James says the f word left and right, but then you make Mike the f word character. Also the Lie Detector video's annotations don't even work any more and those videos are unlisted so it's worthless. Also the Domino Rally video. The dominoes are overshadowed by the Weegee bored. I am a Domino rally fan for life. I hate the Goliath versions, the little domino resembles a condom, but man oh man I love the pressman one, and here Mister shit James Bored wants to do all this, he wants to review Domino Rally, but guess what! he's not even doing the Domino rally. he does the Quija for the continuity of this trash series. I own Domino Rallies. I own lots of them. I am a hardcore Domino rally, so if you want to make a video on it at least go all in. Also narody Nerd looks in the mirron Board james looks back It means nothing, James is just a crazy man in the basement, it's pretend art, it actually doesn't mean anything, James is just he gets all the subs hahahahahahahaha. College Buddies is a top notch series, it's really good, and yet you get all the views and all the likes, it's very sad really. What a putz. Mike Matei. You sound like an extra on karate Kid. your name is bad. James Rolfe sounds like a friend of Heathcliff. You are not the good people. Anyway, this is the admission, that you are less funnier than I am. I am the funny winner of the contest between Nicolas Sequeira and Mike Mateie. I am the funny comics man. buy my comics please, I do not like the Angry Video gaming Dork and may he rest in peace. I am sorry for your loss. AVGN! ... http://bit.ly/2XmbbsA http://bit.ly/2ZssO7i https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Px9MhkRmSx3GqYjVPeR-g if you see this Mr. James please comment here as I want to know that you know that I exist and I know that you know that you know that I know tinyurl.com/nicolascomics The Ultimate Crossover: Angry Video Game Nerd meets College Buddies meets Alf meets Green Acres. #collegenerd

Unused Mario and Bowser: Frenemies Forever 27

Unused Mario and Bowser 27

Chapter 27

Author note: Would have been in the place of what is actually Chapter 26. Mario, instead of Kylie would have done some  recapping and reflection before the race which is part of the actual story’s Chapter 26: More Karting With Bowser (The End?). I thought about it for a while and eventually the whole thing was done over with more emphasis on Kylie and her ‘detectives, spies, and plumbers’ tieing any loose ends. This version, while introspective just went on too slow. Enjoy!

8.00 am.

Mario slung his arm on the clock to end it’s torturous alarm. What day was it, he thought? Oh yeah, the of the next Mario Kart... He finally leaned up, feeling like an invisible weight was pushing him back in bed, and his covers became ever more inviting all over again. It had been an exhausting week after finding the cure, and now it had caught up to the seasoned hero. He gently sunk back down, on the verge of visiting Subcon again….

...Someone tall and slender crept through the bedroom door, holding a bowl of some steaming hot substance. With the other hand, he flicked on the light switch without hesitation. “Hey bro, you're up?!”

Mario yawned as he squinted to see his younger brother. Luigi was fully dressed and smirking for some reason. “Say, I didn't get hit by the Mushroom Bus last night, did I?” Mario mumbled.

“Umm...no? That’s what you get for staying up all night with Peach!”

Mario jolted up. “Luigi?! We were in a MEETING!”

Luigi flushed. “Did I say otherwise, bro? Either way, I got a good night's rest and you didn’t!”

Mario hopped out of bed. “Please, don’t act like I wanted to only get one measly hour of sleep. Besides, you didn’t come home with me and last I heard, you were with Boo. What’s with that​, little brother?”

Luigi dashed out of the room. “Not telling!’

Mario sat back down on the edge of the bed. “You win this time, Weegee…”

Rejuvenated by….whatever that was, Mario did his habitual morning stretches. Passing by the kitchen to go the the bathroom, he noticed Luigi at the table and the enticing smell of apple flavored oatmeal. Weird, he thought. Luigi said they were out of the oatmeal yesterday, or maybe he said that to keep him from eating it all, as Luigi often did when he didn’t want Mario eating up food in the house before their ‘shopping day’. “You got me again…” Mario mused.

Luigi looked up. “Huh?”

“Nothing…”

Next it was time for shower, shave, fix breakfast. Just for himself, rather. Mario found it weird not be the first person up, but in all fairness it had been a busier week for him than Luigi. After delivering the cure to the Toadley Clinic, things progressed even faster than the two days before. The cure was rushed to Mushroom Kingdom Hospital East by Dr. Toadley’s associates and by the next morning, everyone had the cure. Toad and Daisy recovered just fine despite being the worse cases and they were back in their respective castles two days later. Toad was lively as usual, but when no one heard from Daisy, it was assumed she was making a quiet recovery, especially since calls to her phone went straight to voicemail. Imagine their surprise when they found out that she’d been practicing non stop for the next tennis game. Her weary but relieved father spilled the beans once Peach got her own father to check up on the neighboring Sarasland. A direct quote from her was, “The next time I face Mario and Bowser, they’re going down!!” Reportedly, even Bowser shuddered at the thought.

Back on a serious note, Peach allowed Bowser make a new “message” briefly explaining that he was NOT the cause of the Mushroom Flu but that he was definitely still their number one nightmare and would be definitely be ruling the kingdom in the next decade or so. The general public were not surprised.

Other than that, Mario had to spend long meetings with Peach other officials discussing legal matters, criminal activity, and ways to prevent such a thing from happening again in the oft used castle courtroom. Larry Koopa was an unexpected (to Mario) guest, representing Bowser’s household as the public face of Koopa relations. Mario could definitely sympathize with him, as they were both kind of hanging around for arbitrary reasons. Larry’s cool and casual attitude didn't stop him from being helpful however. Since he was one of the few ranking members of Bowser’s Castle who never came under complete control of Z, he had a lot to reveal, though never enough to satisfy everyone. Everyone knew the culprit was Zoo Diddley, but since he’d disappeared it seemed that parts of the conspiracy would never be revealed, not that every local paper and news station didn't try to decode it anyway.

Mario also had to survive countless interviews once details of his adventure were leaked. Before long, the public had heard it all, even parts of his adventure that didn’t happen in public eye!

Maio finally set down at the kitchen table with a plate of bacon and eggs in hand as he dwelled on something. Wasn’t there someone at the hospital who telepathically communicated with Z? What if they just hired him?

Luigi got up and placed his empty bowl in the sink. “I have an uh...appointment. I’ll meet you at the track bro!”

Mario squinted at the tiny digital clock on the microwave. “But the race isn't until-” Luigi was off before Mario could say another word.

Now alone, Mario checked his cellphone to see a text message from the Koopa King himself, dated that morning..

“You’ll be dead meat at the race, plumber!!! (Followed by a ridiculous amount of ‘evil’ emojis such as skulls, devils, fire, and... clowns?)” Mario smiled weakly, the threat bringing back a warm sense of familiarity. Going through his contacts, he caught an idea. After a moment Peach answered the phone, and the two spoke for a while, sounding equally groggy.

“Yes. That's a great idea!” Peach spoke, livening up. “I'll tell him, and please come over this morning. Some people would like to speak to you before the race today.”

“Oh sure... Princess,” Mario answered. He just hoped he wasn't going to get rushed by reporters for the twentieth time that week.

………………….

At 10 am, Mario pulled up to Peach’s Castle on his Mach Bike. The entire area was quiet, no yard workers even in site. Alagold was yet again on the front porch with the Nintendo DS playing teenaged ‘guard’ not far behind.

“Hey buddy,” Mario greeted slyly, “are they gone?”

Alagold shrugged as he approached the motored bike. “Who?”

“Eh, nevermind. Guess I was paranoid over nothing. Who wanted to see me?”

“Oh that...Nobody!” Alagold chuckled. “Peach just wanted to get you over here for another cake. I can’t believe you fell for it!...”  

Once inside, Mario saw that his yellow capped friend was right and everything was normal inside Peach’s prestigious abode. His boots squeaked on the shiny floors and there was no dust on any of her decor, opposite of the dilapidated appearance from a week ago. Mario followed an enticing smell to the dining room were yet another cake awaited him on the long table. This one had white icing with light blue details, but Mario noticed something interesting. One might even say unusual. Something Peach would never do...

Bake a normal sized cake!

“Teehee, Mario! Over here!!” Peach called from behind it.

“This cake talks again,” Mario replied teasingly, even though he could clearly see her.

“Mario! Get over here!” she replied in kind.

Mario stopped in his tracks as he had an epiphany. Why recreate that morning?

Peach frowned. “What’s wrong, Mario? We have a busy week and now my presence palls you?”

“Of course not! I haven't rested well lately and then you call me here and do...this…” Mario sat down next to her.

“The cake? You know how often I bake my cakes,” Peach said with a hint of self awareness. Her radio started buzzing but she ignored it.

“But why a normal cake?”

Peach neatly cut herself a slice, revealing the chocolate inside with white cream filling. “I can't bake a petite version of my world famous, hand made cakes?”

“No…” Mario crossed his arms. “Besides, didn't you admit to following an old recipe?”

Peach swept her hair back and glanced away, as if a plan of hers had been foiled by whatever Mario said. “Okay fine. I didn't have time for a giant one. I do have to prepare for the race after all..”

“Now that I believe,” Mario chuckled, finally grabbing a slice for himself. “Don't ever get job where you have or lie, like a used kart salesman. Or a buffet waitress...”

Peach rolled her eyes. “Same for you, Mario… Wait, waitresses lie?”

Mario swallowed another mouthful of cake. “Mm hmm, or the buffet ones at least. They'll say I've been through the buffet line five times when I know it's only been four!”

Peach giggled before covering her mouth in a discreet princess like fashion. Mario was tickled by her prissy ways and joined her, their laughter echoing in the room before the doors abruptly swung open.

A green capped Toad in a dark blue business suit got pushed in with Buckenberry and Toadette close behind. Buckenberry looked normal but Toadette was dressed up in a burgundy colored dress suit. They followed the green Toad, who strolled casually closer to Peach and Mario, even idly swinging his small briefcase as he took in the sights of the castle dining room.

“Princess, you didn't answer your radio! This is the guy that just marched right in here!” Buckenberry barked.

Toadette nodded, trying to keep up in her matching burgundy high heels she clearly had little experience with. “Yeah, and he claims to be ‘important’!”

“This is Mr. Mitch Toadstool, who helped chase Z from the hospital a week ago. Don’t you remember, dears?” Peach reminded them gently.

“Rrrright...” Mario droned. “Well what’s he doing here?”

“It was your idea, silly! He’s going to be one of our new guiance counselors since he can detect extrasensory disturbances! Oh, and I just love his Mushroom Enquirer magazine!”

“Yeah, what the Princess said,” Mitch finally spoke, his voice deeper and raspier than what one would expect from a Toad.

Mario gave the dapper gentleman a once over again. He could understand the swooning, or was that jealousy, from everyone? “Oh yeah. Pleased to have you at the castle. Emery told me all about uh, whatever happened on the roof. Welcome aboard.” Mario got up and held out his hand.

Mitch shook it firmly. “Thanks, hotshot. I’ll root for you at the race, from the comfort of my jacuzzi that is. You have that here, right?”

“No!” Buckenberry answered.

Mitch helped himself to a slice of cake that was pre cut on a plate. Behind it was a plaque labeled “Toadsworth”. “Fine fine. Say, great cake you got here!”

“Hey that slice is reserved for-”

Peach cut Toadette off. “Thank you, tee hee! And maybe we should add a jacuzzi, hmm…”

Toadette and Buckenberry’s jaws dropped to the ground.

Mario picked up his own slice to go, seeing how this was about it get ugly. “See you later guys.” Mario left the dining room, no one even noticing his departure. As he was leaving, he saw Toad waiting around near the entrance wearing a red fancy looking tie.

“There you are!” greeted Toad.

“Hey. You’re racing too, right?”

Toad nodded. “And I’m coming with you because we need to talk,” Toad said in a more serious manner.

The smile dropped from Mario’s face. “Uh, okay..”

Toad lightly punched his shoulder. “Lighten up, I don’t mean like that. I just want to get caught up a on a few things. Like, we've barely even spoke in the past week!”

“Okay, but I was heading to the Kart garage.”

“Well you wouldn't mind giving an old pal a lift, right?”

Mario smiled. “Fine, but next  time I’m charging! By the way, what’s with that tie?”

Toad rubbed the silky dress accessory between his fingers as they left the castle. “This stupid thing? Mr. Toadsworth convinced Peach to change some policies and so now castle advisors and management have to ‘dress up’.” He unloosened it from his neck and instead tied it around his head like a bandana. “But screw that! We’re off duty during a Mario Kart, right? Oh, neat. You brought the Mach Bike!” Toad ran up to the parked bike, leaving behind Mario on the bridge over the moat. By the time Mario had reached it, Toad was already in the passenger side cart making playful engine noises.

“What would we do without ya, Toad?”

……….
