Oh look, it's me again XD Hello again! I'm back with my 700th attempt at a game show, but please believe me when I say that if I get enough votes, this will be completed. I will make sure this is finished before I do anything else. Votes will be in polls, because I believe it's easier for people to vote via poll instead of reviewing, so I can get extra votes in, therefore making this a more varied voting system. Oh, if you vote via poll, it'd be nice if you left a review too (although I know I haven't so I can't blame people if they don't. I want to change that now though.) Still, I think this is a unique concept for a game show, that hasn't been done before, so yeah, here's the first chapter! Please keep in mind that I wrote this on my birthday and I was in an incredibly weird mood so if this is quite random, that'll be why. I hope this didn't let you down for that reason. :P
Also, as a small note, I want to thank two people for inspiring me to go back to writing. First of all is Kaiimi, who recently brought back Mario Party Deluxe, one of my favourite fics, and that inspired me to do a game show story. Also is AdmiralBobbery, who also recently brought back The DreamStakes, and guess what? It inspired me to do a game show story. :P
So... enjoy!
The reports had been everywhere. Headlines all over the Mushroom Kingdom. From the Daily Ztar, "Koopa King Set To Host New Gameshow". From the Sunday Shroom, "Bowser To Roar Into Action With Party Show". From the Super Bell Gazette, "Shock Horror! Bowser… TV host?". You get the point. People are surprised about yet another game show set to hit screens across the Mushroom Kingdom.
This gameshow was different, however. This gameshow had a new format. A new crazy set of hosts. A new crazy set of contestants. It's believed that Nintendo used this to make an old, tired gaming series into a lively gaming series.
"Hello, everybody!" Bowser, the Koopa King, cried out to the excited audience, "Welcome to Mario Party: Peach's Castle!"
"The show where the hosts will dangerously unravel into a mental oblivion, and the contestants will gradually turn into evil beasts through the competitive atmosphere!" Bowser Jr cheered, "Like this!"
Bowser Jr decided to throw Bowser of the stage. He crushed several audience members, and everybody screamed.
"Why you little rat!" Bowser screamed and chased his son around the stage.
I suppose that the chasing had to end eventually, so let's say I decided that it ended a few months later. Because exaggeration is a wonderful thing.
"Now, let's explain the rules of Mario Party: Peach's Castle!" Bowser cheered, "Now that my child has stopped being such a brat…"
"I heard that!" Bowser Jr grumbed through gritted teeth, "I'LL explain it, because I am the superior one here," this was responded to by a pathetic laugh from Bowser, "Oh shut up you freak show!"
"How am I the freak show?" Bowser asked with a roar.
"Duh! You created Wendy!" Bowser Jr spat at his dad, "Anyway, time for me to explain the rules of Mario Party: Peach's Castle!" The audience cheered at there being some actual progress in the hosting of this show, "We have set out a beautiful Mario Party board in a place that looks like Peach's Castle but actually isn't but we'll lead you to believe that it is. Our twelve contestants will take it in turns each episode to roll the dice, and the space they land on is the sort of challenge, or minigame, they will be taking part in."
"My disaster of a child is right! Every episode, there will be one challenge, and the number of winners is determined by the colour of the space. There could be one person immune, or there could be six. We don't know," Bowser shrugged, "The viewers will vote for the contestant they want to see removed from the studio for eternity and the contestant with the most votes will be removed from the studio for eternity."
"Jeez, we get it," Bowser Jr rolled his eyes, "They'll be removed for eternity. Except if we have a series two, they might be back if we're desperate for contestants or they're desperate for publicity."
"Speaking of desperate for publicity, let's all ride unicycles in an attempt to get into the papers!" Bowser cheered and started riding a unicycle off the stage. He landed on several more audience members.
"How… How am I related to this beast?" Bowser Jr question whilst facepalming, "Anyway, before we all lose our sanity before the very first episode, let's introduce the first contestant! All of the contestants this series will be linked to the Mario Party series. However, when we start running out of people, we'll just go to the Mario series. Some characters have really unappreciated characters and personalities."
"Oh shut up!" Bowser growled at his child, "Nobody cares about your opinions on the lesser known characters of the Mario series! The first contestant is someone who is only revealed first to get them out of the way, although producers say that we must worship her. Hell to the no I ain't doing to worshipping! The only sort of shipping I do is the ship between Mario and Luigi."
Silence.
"...the first contestant is Rosalina." Bowser said quietly. The audience applauded warily as Rosalina walked onto the stage with a smile.
"I hope I get lucky in this competition." she smiled. Then, an anvil fell on her head, "Not again…"
"Yes, yes, Rosalina is wonderful. She is the queen of the world and we must respect her every move. Okay, moving on!" Bowser hurried proceedings, not caring that Rosalina was struggling underneath an anvil, "The second contestant is someone who has appeared in every single Mario Party game and is still going strong as one of the most popular Mario characters. It's Bowser! Hehehe. I mean… it's Yoshi!"
The audience cheered for the adorable dino as he walked onto the stage, showing off.
"YEAH! BEING COOL IS FUN!" Yoshi screamed right in Bowser Jr's ear, "Not that any of you fools would know…"
"Oh great… a big-headed dinosaur. We've already got one of those," Bowser Jr rolled his eyes, glancing at Bowser. The audience laughed at the drama and hatred that was arising, "Next up, we have the Queen of the Spin-Offs! Say hello to Daisy!"
"Yes it's me!" a masculine voice said, dressed as a daisy, "I'm Daisy!"
"What the hell?" Bowser Jr questioned, pulling off the daisy costume.
"LAKILULU?!" everybody screamed.
"I just want to be loved!" Lakilulu cried, running off the stage.
"Uh… is Daisy here?" Bowser Jr asked.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU RIGHT NOW! I HAVE PLANS TO BE ON A GAME SHOW!" Daisy screamed at the young koopa, not realising he is the host. She turned around to see the audience, "Oh. Uh. Hey."
"...Okay… I suppose I'll just… move on. Very. Very. Swiftly," Bowser Jr blinked at Daisy, "Contestant number four…" he looked at Daisy scaredly again, "Is another very common Mario Party character. Unfortunately, he smells. And he was our twelfth contestant to choose. It's Wario. Yay."
Wario waddled onto the stage, his flubber… flubbering with every step he took, "It's-a Wario! I'm-a ready for all tha monies!"
"Hmm. Quite enough of that thank you," Bowser muttered snobbishly, "Now to someone who is much more interesting. We have the Princess herself joining the show. So, here is Princess Peach!"
A plane flew down into the studio, crashing, making rubble fall on top of people.
"Oh no! What a disaster!" Bowser cried sarcastically, "EVERYBODY APPLAUD PEACH OR I'LL KIDNAP YOU ALL!"
The audience applauded wildly for the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, who walked off the plane elegantly.
"Thank you! Ah! Such wonderful peasants!" she beamed with elegance, "Be graced with my presence, slaves!"
"All hail Princess Peach." Bowser chanted demonically.
"...I'm very scared," Bowser Jr said, "But, now it's time for the sixth contestant. The slightly better version of Wario, although that's like saying that one piece of dog poop is better than another piece of dog poop. Hello Waluigi!"
Waluigi walked onto the stage with a huge grin, "Get ready for the era of Waluigi!" However, the audience were applauding just mildly, "You're all cheaters!" He ran off crying.
"Right… uh… this batch of people is insane…" Bowser Jr commented with wide eyes, "But it's time to reveal contestant number seven! This is going to be lucky for us, because now we have someone to insult all the time! It's Birdo! BIRDO! GET INTO THE STUDIO YOU PATHETIC SKANK!"
Birdo ran onto the stage, tears falling from her eyes, "I hate my agent why did he make me do this?"
"Because everybody hates you, Birdo!" Bowser cheered, throwing Birdo off the stage and into the audience. The poor pink beast crushed multiple audience members.
Bowser was barely audible through Birdo's loud tears, "Let's move on from that hideous monster and reveal the eighth contestant! Yay. So much excitement. Things are about to get strange, because DK is in the house!"
"Wooo! Yay for DK!" DK cheered, "Wait, why am I being ushered onto the stage? I am not DK. My name is Susan Bertha Kongleberg! I AM NOT DK! HELP ME MOTHER OF GRAPEFRUIT!" He screamed whilst being carried onto the stage.
"This has not let me down so far," Bowser smiled in glory, "Unlike BIRDO." He pushed her off the stage again, "Contestant number nine!"
"Yes! Contestant number nine!" Bowser Jr cheered, "They are irrelevant, loud, annoying, and we don't know how she got in! Toadette is here!"
Toadette rolled her eyes at Bowser Jr's comments whilst walking in, "Hello everyone! I'm so excited to take part in Mario Party!"
"You've been in plenty of games, dear," Bowser Jr muttered, "You've had your time in the limelight. Now we're moving onto more obscure people! Let's meet one - here's Hammer Bro! Hehe, that sort of sounds like Haribo. Not really though."
Hammer Bro walked onto the stage shyly, waving at the audience who applauded the large koopa, "Hi…"
"Yes, Hammer Bro will be that stereotypical shy one that half of the audience gets behind to come out of his shell, and the other half just wants them to stop pitying themselves. But which will you be?" Bowser Jr asked, "And the penultimate contestant is someone even more irrelevant than Birdo," he glared at the revolting beast and she burst into tears, "It's Twila!"
"Who?" everybody asked.
"We don't know either," Bowser shrugged, "Still, welcome this show's equivalent to Ke$ha!"
"Who?" everybody asked.
"We don't know either," Bowser repeated, "But bring on Twila!"
"Who?" everybody asked.
"SHUT UP AND BRING ON TWILA!" Bowser screamed.
Twila walked on awkwardly, and the audience didn't applaud. She just walked onto the stage to confused faces.
"You have no opinion of me, so I can do no wrong," Twila winked, "Oh hello everyone! I recognise some people here!"
"Lovely, we don't really care, Twila-Nobody," Bowser Jr smiled at the moon, who rolled her eyes, "Our final contestant is going to be really annoying. That's about it, to be honest. Blooper!"
Blooper flew onto the stage (because fish can totally fly on land), squirting ink at the audience, "Yahoo! Fame! Here I come!" He squirted ink at Birdo, "Yahoo! I killed the beast! Level up!"
"Turns out he's the most useful one here!" Bowser cheered, and Birdo drowned in a pool of ink and her own monstrous tears.
"Well, this is where the episode ends," Bowser sighed, "Still, join us next time when we have the first dice roll, first challenge and first vote!"
The audience cheered as the credits rolled.
This was awful, but I enjoyed writing it and at the end of the day, that's what matters! Please leave a review if you like what you read! If this doesn't get updated within a couple of weeks, feel free to PM me to give me a little nudge. I won't get mad if you do. :P
