Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters portrayed in this fanfic.

A/N: I know FFNet frowns upon script format, but I felt this type of idea worked best with script. Anyway, enjoy the first of the "codecs"!

Mario

Lissa: Oh, wow! Is that Mario?

Frederick: Indeed it is, milady. Since his first appearance in Donkey Kong in 1981, Mario has quickly risen to a household name. He has seen combat in all shapes and forms and tales of his prowess as a warrior are known by all.

Lucina: It's quite the honor to be fighting such a famous opponent, although I'll admit it is also intimidating.

Lissa: Intimidating? I wouldn't go that far. I mean, he's kinda short and pudgy…and he doesn't even carry a weapon! This isn't the type of guy I'd peg as a "famous warrior."

Chrom: Warriors come in all forms, Lissa. It would be foolish to judge an opponent solely on appearance. From his piercing gaze alone you can tell Mario has claimed victory in many battles.

Robin: That's right. His attacks are quick and fierce, and he has fire magic that could rival mine. There's also that cape we have to worry about. If I'm not careful he could reflect my spells right back at me. I'll have to be judicious about how I use my tomes. As for you, Lucina, he can reflect your Dancing Blade and send you swinging in the wrong direction, leaving you wide open. Be careful.

Lucina: Understood. I won't falter. Let's take down the famous Mario together!

Luigi

Lissa: I feel bad for Luigi sometimes. I know it's not easy having an older brother who's superior to you in every way.

Chrom: Perhaps you should train more, Lissa. I can't always be out there protecting my delicate little sister!

Lissa: I told you, I'm not delicate! Jerk!

Chrom: Ha ha! In all seriousness, you undersell yourself, Lissa. You have your own set of talents in combat, a kind heart and a penchant for bringing smiles to people's faces. I'd never consider myself superior to you.

Lissa: Hee hee! I know you're just saying all that because you're my brother, but thanks!

Robin: I won't call Mario superior to Luigi either. Luigi does take after his brother when it comes to his combat skills, although he has refined it into a rather impressive, albeit goofy, fighting style. His Super Jump Punch has amazing killing potential and his Green Missile packs a lot of power behind it. Thankfully, this move should be easy for you to counter, Lucina.

Lissa: I know we're on opposite sides, Luigi, but deep down I'll be rooting for you to represent little siblings everywhere!

Lucina: Aunt Lissa, please…

Princess Peach

Frederick: Here we have Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom. It isn't often you see her in combat. You're more likely to find her stowed away in Bowser's Castle than her own.

Chrom: Perhaps we should visit the Mushroom Kingdom someday. I'm sure both Ylisse and the Mushroom Kingdom could benefit from relations with each other.

Lissa: You know, I've always wondered who's left in charge of the Mushroom Kingdom when Peach is kidnapped. I've never seen a king or a queen around. If she's the only ruler, why is she still called "princess?"

Robin: There is a Mushroom King, if I recall, but he's never mentioned in any of Mario's adventures. I honestly think people just forgot about him…

Frederick: There were also the kings that ruled over the various lands of the Mushroom Kingdom in Mario's third adventure. Although what became of them is unknown.

Lucina: I'm not sure we've ever even seen those lands again in Mario's other adventures. The landscapes of the Mushroom Kingdom seem inconsistent.

Chrom: …On second thought, let's not go to the Mushroom Kingdom. It is a silly place.

Robin: Anyway, let's focus on the battle. Peach will pluck vegetables from the ground and use them as projectiles against us. The properties of these vegetables are indicated by their expressions. Try to keep an eye on them.

Bowser

Robin: It seems we have the unfortunate honor of fighting King Koopa.

Chrom: He is quite the ferocious tyrant. He reminds of Gangrel is how callous and barbaric they are. Although I suppose Gangrel isn't one to put aside bitter rivalries to go kart racing with his enemies…

Lissa: Honestly, Bowser's motivations seem pretty inconsistent nowadays. In one game he kidnaps Peach because he loves her and in the next he wants her to rule of Mushroom Kingdom. And sometimes he just wants to crash parties! Can't the guy make up his mind on what he wants to do?

Lucina: I believe we've already established that nothing in the Mushroom Kingdom makes sense. I think it's best we focus on the fight.

Frederick: His motivations today seem to align with slaughtering Robin and Lucina. He certainly has the raw power to do so, and what with his recently improved posture he can channel that power more effectively than he could previously.

Robin: Back erect or not, his attacks are still slow and easy to predict. So long as we aren't careless, we should be able to do Mario's job for him today.

Yoshi

Sully: Even though my horse and I are already an unstoppable ass-kicking team, whenever I see Yoshi I wonder if we could kick some serious rump together if he were my steed.

Chrom: He has certainly been a valiant steed to Mario in the past. The two are an unstoppable and inseparable due when they are together.

Lissa: Yeah, that is until Mario needs a boost in his jump. That's when he becomes King of the Jerks and betrays poor, cute Yoshi!

Robin: Even without Mario, Yoshi is still a force to be reckoned with on his own, more so now that he stands upright in this edition of Smash. I wouldn't be surprised if this competition was a subtle message to kids that good posture is important.

Frederick: Considering the Wii Fit Trainer is here, I think it's safe to say proper body management is a pretty big theme this time around.

Lucina: Yoshi is quick on his feet and despite his cute nature his attacks are devastating. If we aren't careful, we could also wind up being swallowed whole and turned into an egg. That's something I'd like to avoid, if possible…

Robin: There's also his Egg Roll move, where he'll curl up inside an egg and try to ram us. It's best we shield when he tries this.

Sully: Hey, when you two are done beating the snot out of Yoshi, maybe you could wrangle him up for me. I'm always open to new ways of fighting, and that egg move seems like a great way to scramble up my foes!

Robin: "Yoshi Wrangling" isn't exactly on my to-do list today, but we'll see what happens after the match…

Rosalina & Luma

Lissa: Boy, Rosalina can really make a girl feel inadequate. She's so tall and beautiful! The power of the cosmos is a big plus, too.

Robin: She certainly is all that and a bag of chips. She helps pilot the Comet Observatory with the Lumas, who view her as a mother figure.

Chrom: Lumas? Am I correct in assuming that plump star in front of her is a Luma?

Robin: You certainly are. They are extraordinary creatures that with enough energy can transform into entire planets and galaxies. In battle, they'll shoot things called Star Bits and Rosalina will command them to ram us. They can attack separately from Rosalina and when she is incapacitated. Luma can also take a few spells in the face for its mother, when she herself isn't sucking them up with her Gravitational Pull. It's no exaggeration when I say that these two make a fearsome duo.

Lucina: We should eliminate that Luma so we can focus our energy on Rosalina for the rest of the fight.

Robin: That will provide only a temporary solution. Another Luma will take its place before long.

Lissa: What a terrible mother! She sends her Luma to fight like they're just sheep for the slaughter!

Frederick: Lumas are a dime a dozen, and when they are defeated they will simply be reborn. It may be cruel to view them as dispensable, but as Rosalina puts it herself, it is merely the natural cycle of things.

Robin: Let's deal with the Luma as it comes and attack Rosalina when she's vulnerable!

Lucina: Understood! Although, that was basically my plan to begin with…

Bowser Jr.

Lissa: Bowser Jr. doesn't seem quite as ferocious as his old man. In fact, I dare say he's pretty adorable!

Robin: Since his razor sharp claws haven't come in and his legs haven't grown to the size of tree stumps yet, the heir to the Koopa throne uses his Junior Clown Car to fight for him. I'd say it captures the essence of his mischievous personality.

Frederick: Indeed. The Junior Clown Car is exceptional at playing all sorts of mind games with its opponent. From the Mechakoopas that scuttle across the stage and the Clown Kart Dash, Bowser Jr. will try his best to command the battlefield.

Robin: My own projectiles should be an effective countermeasure. We could also always just pick up those Mechakoopas and lob them right back at him.

Lucina: When he abandons that contraption of his, we should try and swat him away from the stage. His attempt at recovery will backfire and he'll meet a bitter end.

Lissa: An ADORABLE bitter end! When he's not in that Junior Clown Car you can see just how tiny and cute he is!

Chrom: That's a bit of a morbid view of the situation…

Robin: Just remember Lissa, that little Koopa is gonna grow up to be an ugly, monstrous and tyrannical ruler. I don't think he deserves you fawning over him.

Lissa: Hey, no matter how terrifying the animal grows up to become, it's an undeniable fact they're downright PRECIOUS when they're young! Let me live in the moment!

Robin: Whatever floats your boat…

Koopalings

Chrom: So this is one of the Koopalings. They're Bowser's kids, correct?

Robin: Actually, that theory has since been refuted. It seems that Bowser Jr. is the only true heir to the Koopa throne. The Koopalings are just his lackeys.

Lissa: Speaking of Bowser Jr., who do you think the mother is? We obviously know it's not Peach.

Frederick: Milady, I think some mysteries are better left unsolved.

Robin: Anyway, this Junior Clown Car isn't has high quality as Bowser Jr.'s, but it's just as effective. You can expect the usual tricks from it.

Wario

Maribelle: Urgh…That retched odor is coming from that putrid man over there, is it not?

Lissa: Yeah, it sure smells like it…This guy looks like a real class act.

Frederick: This is Wario, one of Mario's many rivals. With his large consumption of onions to his nose-picking, I'd say it's accurate to call this man grotesque in every sense of the word. You should be wary of his farts.

Maribelle: His farts?! How beastly! I'll have my nose clips on standby. You should hold your nose as well, Lissa, darling. I'd hate for you to have to smell such a pungent odor.

Frederick: It is not just the smell one should be wary of, milady. Once this glutton consumes enough items, he will unleash and explosive fart that will do considerable damage.

Lucina: I'd hate to go out in such a disgraceful and unsanitary way…

Robin: I should be mindful of when I decide to use Arcfire…

A/N: More to come! I might not update on Christmas, so if I don't Merry Christmas!
