Prologue: The Part That Happens Before The Actual Story

The year is 20XX and nobody honestly cares about that. What people do care about, however, is the miscellaneous adventures detailing the interactions of fictional video game characters set in a universe that generally has absolutely no room for a cohesive story. That being said, let us begin the tale.

Our Hero who is technically classified as a Ranger, Ike, was just sitting around admiring his photos. Nobody was any good at painting in Tellius, but Ike does not care about critiquing art. To be quite honest, he had nothing to do with his life. Ike had singlehandedly murdered every single enemy in the world. There was peace. Ike literally lost his job, as he had nobody left to kill. He was fine with that, but all of the sudden he noticed he had a letter under his couch. Ike was weirded out by this, as Crimea had no established postal service. He opened it anyway, and noticed that it was from Master Hand. The exact text said the following;

"Ikey u moust com tu Smeshh man chin fur thee ultimmmet turnament of stranth.

Luv Mester Hanff"

Ike was rather confused at the awful handwriting, but he then realized that Master Hand was just a hand. No eyes, no arms. Just a hand. The fact that he can write at all is quite the miracle. Regardless, Ike packed his bags and set out to this vaguely worded and generally mysterious Smash Mansion in order to be there for the next Smash Brothers Tournament.

14 time portals and 5 dimensional warps later.

Ike had finally arrived. Surprisingly, his old buddy Link was present. Although, to be quite honest, it was not a surprise at all. Ike knew that if Link was not in a Smash Brothers game, there would be a lot of riots, people would die, and some random dude in his basement would protest Nintendo for 3 minutes until he realized that oh man, they are remaking Ocarina of Time again.

Link greeted Ike by saying, "So Ike, I see you made it. Too bad you don't even know if you will be playable in the game yet."

Ike responded by telling him, "At least we know Toon Link is returning, so that means you will probably be really bad." Link was slightly offended by this, until he realized that it was most likely the truth.

Link then told Ike, "Are you aware that we had a mansion at some point?"

Ike then said, "No Link, I was not. In fact, it is not even Luigi's Mansion. That would have made sense to just use that one, rather than make an entirely different mansion when our universe has already established one in-game."

Link agreed, saying that "You got that right, Ike."

Having established the rather unnecessary existence of two mansions, Ike and Link pressed onwards to the very unimaginatively looking Smash Mansion, where numerous adventures had awaited them.

Will they understand the true meaning of Master Hand's mysterious meeting?

Will the Smash Mansion prove to be as unnecessary as they thought?

Can Wario keep his job at the office?
