There's some history behind this, so if you don't know what a Gameboy is, a Gamecube, or perhaps Koopa or Mario, then look it up on Wikipedia. That's the best answer I can give you.
So, let's begin SVU History 101.
I was watching Care I think it was and this idea had been simmering in my head for a while. I mean, Cragen is a Level Thirteener on a video game? Wow, I'm impressed. And before that, he calls Munch and Fin the Super Mario Brothers which is probably the best description I've heard in a long time for them. LOL!!! Well, the idea I had, I forgot about it and Glockgal from the Munchagogue forums said it would be a good idea to write a story on this when I happened to mention that Cragen called Munch and Fin the Super Mario Brothers. So I found my idea in the back of my head and I wrote this story. This partly based on my difficulties as a child when I played on the 9-3 level of Super Mario Brothers and how I could never beat it on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Mario All Stars, remember that game everyone?). When it came out for the Gameboy Advance, I was more than overjoyed! I had the Gameboy Player for the Gamecube, so I had nothing to loose. I bought it and I am still on this level right now! The level that was the most difficult for me as a child is now back to haunt my dreams and taught me. No school like the old school, that's for sure.
As usual, I don't any characters from SVU. Wolf does and he's one lucky son of a gun. I also don't own anything from the Nintendo video game company. The Nintendo company owes everything that is mentioned here, from the concept that Mushrooms make you grow big strong bones to the golden Coins.
Enjoy!!!
P.S. This orginally was suppose to be a drabble, but then I realized how can you write a drabble when describing a Super Mario Brothers game level? It's impossible! Not with all the stuff that can happen to you in a game level, including a Bowser level!!!
It's cheap relief.
Turn on the Gamecube. Good, someone actually left the Gameboy start-up disc inside. And yes, someone actually left my game in the Gameboy Player. Someone gets a piece of licorice tomorrow.
Super Mario Brothers.
Press start and go. Level 9-3. This could be it. The final level of Super Mario Brothers.
Venture into the castle. I am small. I must be careful. Avoid the rotating fire flippers. Okay, good so far.
Lava pit. Damn, this is where the Question Block is just positioned in the wrong spot. Ready…and go!!! Take the running leap, jump, hit the block, got the mushroom, land safely on platform. Yes, I am good.
Come to an easy part. I'll just coast for a while and look! Gold coins, worth a lot more than my salary. At least in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Here come the moving lifts. And the rain of fireballs from that Koopa. Let's see…I got three minutes and forty-three seconds left. I'll just ride the up lift for a while. Oops! Fell down, but the lift saves me from a bottomless pit and gettin' my ass roasted by a fireball. Repeat this process about three times. Jump to the down lift and onward to my nightmare.
Get to the hallway. The hardest part on this level. Damn it, these fireballs from that stupid Koopa just won't let up. This hallway is too small. Jump, duck, jump, duck, jump…no! I got hit. I'm small again! This is just great.
Get to the bridge. There you are you evil son of a bitch. Jump, stupid, jump! Yes, home free! Time to die…crap! You little bastard. You crushed me! You killed me again! Great…game over too.
So much for being a Level Thirteener. I guess my Super Mario Brothers are better at this game than I will ever be.
Hope you enjoyed it!!!
