Author's Note: Hello again, it's-a-me, Nintendo Maximus. I've done novelizations of Pokemon Live! and the SMBSS episode "Count Koopula" that included more than just what was featured in the actual media. This time, I have a novelization of another episode on the new SMB Super Show DVD. This one is a game-based novelization of the episode "Toad Warriors", which includes a few scenes I wrote to add on to the story, as well as some corrections on the errors featured in the episode. Without further ado, here's my newest novelization - The Toad Warrior!
It was an unusually
sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom. At least, that's how it looked
outside that day. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario were at the Toad
Town Supermarket, shopping for food. But little did they know
that a horrible catastrophe was forming right under their noses!
Mario walked over to his favorite part
of the store: the pasta section. Being Italian, Mario had quite a
keen interest in Italian food. But today, he noticed that
something was wrong. Very wrong.
"OH NO!" Mario shouted
out loud. Luigi rolled their shopping cart up to Mario.
"Look at this, Luigi!" Mario complained to his younger
brother. "There's-a-no more-a-spaghetti sauce-a!"
"So?" Luigi asked.
"There's-a-no big deal about-a-that."
"Are you kiddin', Luigi?"
Mario whined. "No spaghetti sauce means dry pasta!"
"Oh, quit-a-whining-a," Luigi
reassured him. "We'll just-a-come back next week when they
have another shipment of spaghetti sauce-a."
One week passed, but when Mario and
Luigi came back, there was still no spaghetti sauce. Two weeks
went by, and the spaghetti sauce didn't seem to be turning up
anywhere. Mario was getting really hungry for saucy pasta.
"I don't understand it-a!"
Mario said as he and Luigi walked out of the supermarket that
day. "There hasn't been any spaghetti sauce for three
weeks-a! Either all the brands are-a-flyin' off the shelves, or
someone is-a-stealing all of them! But who could-a-be so selfish
and cruel as to steal spaghetti sauce...?"
Luigi looked at the Toad Town News
billboard, and saw something shocking. "I think we may have
found the answer. Look at this-a!"
Mario took a look at the article Luigi
was pointing to. "I don't-a-believe it-a!"
Mario said, upon reading the article. A
picture of their archenemy, King Bowser Koopa, was pasted right
next to the article. The very article that was answering their
questions. Its title screamed "SPAGHETTI SAUCE STOLEN!"
This is what the article said:
"It's not a good time for pasta
freaks in the Mushroom Kingdom recently. Our rotten enemy, King
Bowser Koopa, has been stealing every drop of spaghetti sauce in
Toad Town for three weeks or so. Theft of this food topping may
not be a big deal right now, but if something isn't done about
Bowser's spaghetti sauce-stealing spree, spaghetti may never be
saucy again!
"Fortunately, all is not lost. A
small group of Toads have banded together in a rebel fortress in
the Dry Dry Desert to make their own supply of spaghetti sauce.
They would greatly appreciate it if Princess Peach Toadstool and
the Mario Bros. were to join them."
"Well, what are we waiting
for?" Mario said after he finished reading the article.
"Let's get to that Rebel Fort! I'm starving for well-made
pasta again, and we can't let Bowser get the supply he hasn't
stolen!" He started walking to the south of the billboard,
swinging his fists.
"Wait, wait! First, we need a
car," Luigi said, grabbing Mario by the back of his shirt.
"Why can't-a-we just use the warp
zone in the Toad Town Tunnels-a?"
"Oh, that just-a-warps us to the
Dry Dry Outpost-a. We need to get to the Dry Dry Desert-a!"
"True," Mario said, putting a
finger on his chin. "But where are we going to get a car
fast enough to get us to a fortress in the Dry Dry
Desert-a?"
"I know just the place-a!"
Luigi answered. "Hones T.'s Car Store! That's-a-where Wario
and Waluigi bought their Greedmobile!"
So, Mario and Luigi went to Hones T.'s
Car Store and rented a brown Model T. Then, they drove to
Princess Peach's Castle and picked up Princess Peach and her
loyal servant, Toad. And so, they drove off to the Dry Dry Desert
to join the Toad Town Rebels.
During the drive to
the Toad Town Rebel Fort, Mario got tired of using the steering
wheel and decided to let Toad do the driving while he took a nap
in the back seat. But there was a little problem. Toad seemed to
be driving too fast.
"Toad, don't-a-drive so
fast-a!" Mario warned the Mushroom Retainer. "Look!
You're-a-going 95 in a 75 mile per hour zone!"
But Toad just said, "Relax, Mario!
We're in a desert! It's not like the police is going to arrest us
for trying to get somewhere in a hurry!"
Unfortunately, following right behind
them was a paddy wagon. Steering the van was a Koopa Troopa
wearing a police uniform and funky spiky pink mohawk-styled hair.
The siren wailed loudly. "Attention, you two plumbers and a
princess!" he shouted from his van. "This is one of
King Bowser's State Troopas! And the four of you are under
arrest! Pull over or I'll blast you over!"
"I didn't-a-know Bowser had a
police force-a," Luigi said, seeing the Koopa State Troopa
hot on their tail.
"If he does," Princess Peach
said, "then I think I know what they would arrest people
for."
"I think I know what you
mean," Luigi said, thinking back to when he and Mario had
gotten arrested in Dinohattan.
Mario turned to Toad. "You
shouldn't have-a-broken the speed limit, Toad!" he scolded.
"You have to pull over-a."
The State Troopa that was chasing them
took out a Bullet Bill Blaster and blasted a Bullet Bill at their
car. The Bullet Bill narrowly missed them.
"Aaaaaah, I never should've let
you drive-a!" Mario said.
"You wanted a nap, remember?"
Toad told the fat plumber, pulling over to the side of the road.
"But not in jail!" Mario told
him.
The State Troopa pulled up right behind
them. Glad to have gotten Mario's group in his grasp, he took out
a walky-talky from his car dashboard and called his leader.
"Car 54½ calling King Bowser. I've arrested the Princess
and her faucet-freak friends."
Bowser Koopa was
standing on a cliff overlooking the Toad Town Rebels' Fort,
accompanied by his second-in-command, Mouser, when the State
Troopa radioed him. Bowser and Mouser were dressed up like 1980's
punks, and all the Koopa Troopas wore police uniforms, calling
themselves State Troopas. Bowser, in particular, was wearing a
leather jacket, had a very small nose ring between his nostrils,
and his red hair was moussed up into a mohawk and dyed blue.
Bowser listened in on the State
Troopa's call. "Lock them up and throw away the key!"
Bowser ordered to the State Troopa. "And whatever you do,
don't let them get away!" He hung up and turned to Mouser.
"The last of the spaghetti sauce is almost in my
hands," he gloated. "I'll make a fortune selling it
back to those miserable mushrooms in Toad Town, and now I've got
their pesky princess, too!" He laughed evilly as he looked
down on the Rebels' Fort.
The Koopa State
Troopa cornered Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad by their car. He
had his Bill Blaster drawn in his right hand. The good guys had
to make one phone call before being locked up.
"No, you can't call your
lawyer or your mother!" The State Troopa said
dismissively. "Any other questions?" Right before
anyone could ask anything else, there was a whirring sound up
above. The State Troopa turned his head. "Huh?" He was
suddenly knocked down by the source of the sound: a helicopter
controlled by a citizen of Toad Town! "Yikes!" The
Koopa Troopa cried in surprise and alarm. "A Toad Town Rebel
Chopper!" He jumped down under his paddy wagon and cowered.
The Toad Town citizen, whose name was
Fly T., dropped a rope ladder down from his dustbin-made
helicopter and called to Peach. "Come on, Princess! Your
people need you!"
"Go, Princess! Go while you
can!" Mario shouted to Peach, who started to climb onto the
rope ladder. "We'll meet you at the Rebel Fort!"
"Hang on!" said Fly T.,
taking to the air, with Peach on the ladder.
"Goodbye!" Peach said, waving
to the Mario Bros. and Toad as Fly T.'s chopper carried her off
to the Rebel Fort. Mario and Luigi waved back.
Toad grabbed Mario by the left arm as
he finished waving. "Now's our chance to escape!"
"Don't even think about running
away, plumb scum!" A voice called to them. The trio turned
around and gasped. The State Troopa was standing right beside
them, holding a black Bob-Omb. "Bob-Omb won't like that. I'm
in big enough trouble as it is losing the Princess, without
losing you guys too!"
Just then, Bowser's voice sounded on
the State Troopa's car radio. "Car 54½! Where are you? And
why aren't you answering?! Come in, or else!"
The Koopa Troopa gulped.
"Uh-oh..." He set the Bob-Omb down. "Watch 'em,
Bob- Omb." He dashed into his paddy wagon to respond to
Bowser.
Luigi, being the usual scaredy-cat, was
shaking with fear. But Mario wasn't going to shake as much as his
brother was. Toad, however, had an idea. He smiled in a taunting
fashion and insulted the Bob-Omb. "Hey Bob-Omb! Did anyone
ever tell you you are uhhhhh-gly! I've seen better-looking
bombs after they exploded! I'll bet you have to sneak up
on a match just to get alight!" The Bob-Omb was so angered
by Toad's abuse that it lit itself. Toad looked at it and
screamed to the Mario Bros. "RUN FOR IT, GUYS!" Luigi
ran to the left, Toad headed to the right, and Mario dove behind
the car.
The Koopa Troopa got out of his paddy
wagon. He looked around and saw that the Mario Bros. and Toad
were nowhere in sight. "You stupid bang-head!" He
scolded the Bob-Omb. "Look what you've--ahhhh!"
He noticed that the Bob-Omb was getting ready to explode.
"No! Don't go off now!" Screaming, the Koopa Troopa
dove right in front of the Bob-Omb and snuffed out its fuse.
"Phew!" he sighed.
Meanwhile, Princess
Peach, not more than an Goonie's flight away, had reached the
Toad Town Rebel Fort. Fly T. lowered his chopper over the Rebel
Fort so that Peach could reach the ground safely. Several Toads
watched and cheered. "Hail Princess Peach! Hail Princess
Peach!" they shouted out repeatedly.
But up above, on the cliff, Bowser,
Mouser, and the Koopa Troopas were seated in cars. "Get your
motors running!" Bowser shouted to his troops. "They've
got Princess Peach inside that Rebel Fort. Koopa Pack,
ATTACK!" Heeding Bowser's command, the Koopa Pack started
their engines, and their cars roared down the cliffside.
Peach and the Toads watched from the
fort as Bowser's pack drove down the mountain. "They're
coming!" Peach said, pointing at the Koopas. "We must
hold them off until Mario and Luigi arrive."
Bowser and his pack were driving toward
the fort when suddenly, an onslaught of vegetables started coming
their way! Some of the Koopa Troopas were knocked out of their
cars. "Yikes!" one Koopa Troopa said, as an turnip
landed on his nose. "Here! Take this!" He took out his
Bill Blaster and shot a Bullet Bill at the fort. The Toads
standing in its way jumped out of its visual range. It hit the
wall surrounding the fort.
Mouser drove ahead, swerving to avoid
the assault of vegetables. Then an onion hit his wheels, knocking
him and his car down. "Cheese and crackers!" Mouser
said, getting out of his car. "How did that happen?"
Bowser looked at what happened to
Mouser's car, and then slapped himself on the face. "That
mouse-brain! To think of all the Coins I wasted on his Driver's
Ed classes!"
A Koopa Troopa drove ahead of Bowser.
Three Snifits mounted on the back of his car fired bullets at the
Rebel Fort. When the resulting explosion cleared, a big hole was
gaping in the wall barricading the Fort.
"We need help!" said Peach,
stating the obvious.
Back at the site of
the Koopa State Troopa's paddy wagon, the State Troopa was still
recovering from nearly facing the explosion of a Bob-Omb.
"That was close!" he said to himself.
"But not-a-close enough!" an
Italian-sounding voice said behind him. Before the State Troopa
could react, Mario jumped out from behind the car and stomped on
him. Mario then picked the State Troopa up by his shell and threw
him back into his paddy wagon. Luigi and Toad came out of their
hiding places. "Come on, guys," Mario said to his
comrades, "let's get out of here and back on the road before
the State Troopa regains his conciousness!" They got back
into their car. Mario and Luigi took the front seats, and Toad
got in the back. Mario turned the ignition key. Before you could
say "Mario Bros. are cool like sunglasses," they were
on the road again.
Just after the State Troopa was coming
to, he heard Mouser's voice on the radio. "Car 54 1/2, where
are you?"
"Spare me the television jokes,
Mouser," the State Troopa said, answering the call. "We
have a problem..."
Up ahead, Mario,
Luigi, and Toad were enjoying their drive to the Fort. Mario was
calmly driving the car, Luigi was relaxing in his seat, and Toad
was snapping his fingers to the song playing on the radio. It was
"Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf.
"This is the life!" Mario
complimented. "The wind in your face, a driving song on the
radio, nothing ahead but the open road! Ahh! I like it!"
Just then, Princess Peach's voice came
over their radio. "Mario! Luigi! Toad! If you can hear me,
we need help! And fast!"
Luigi stopped relaxing, and Toad quit
snapping his fingers.
"Time to put the pedal to the
metal!" Mario said. "Hang on, guys!" He kinked up
the speed, and they were soon driving fast enough to be a
competition to a very fast hedgehog.
Bowser was watching
through a pair of binoculars as his Koopa Troopas laid havoc to
the Toad Town Rebel Fort. Just then, Mouser came into his view.
"King Bowser, sir," he reported, "I just got word
from your State Troopa. The plumbers have escaped!"
"Those miserable wrench-heads
won't ruin my evil plans this time!" Bowser growled.
"Prepare an ambush, Mouser. Make road pizzas out of
them!"
Mouser saluted and ran off to carry out
his boss's order.
The Mario Bros. and
Toad were still driving to the Fort when Toad heard the roar of
engines behind them. He looked behind him and saw what was
causing the roaring sound effect. "Check your rear-view
mirror, Mario!"
Mario looked at his reflection in the
rear-view mirror and grinned, his eyes half closed.
"Handsome devil, ain't I?" he said conceitedly. He
didn't seem to notice that two Koopa Troopas were driving up
behind them on motorcycles.
"No, Mario! That's not it!"
Toad shouted, hitting Mario on the head. "We've got more of
Bowser's State Troopas on our tails!"
"That's-a-no problem," Mario
said assuredly. "If they arrest us, we'll just-a-use the
shell-kicking technique!"
But that wasn't the only problem.
"Mario!" Luigi said, pointing
to something up ahead. "Watch out!"
Mario and Toad looked ahead and saw
what Luigi was pointing to.
"Yikes!" Toad yelled.
"Leaping lasagna!" Mario
shouted, in unison with Toad.
A factory truck had been driven up and
parked in the road, and it was now blocking their path.
Mario took his seat belt off.
"Unfasten your seat belts, guys, and get ready to
jump!" The others did as he did. Then, Mario hit the brakes
as they were about to hit the truck. When the car smacked into
the truck, Mario, Luigi, and Toad were catapaulted into the air.
They soared right by Star Haven, during which Toad grabbed a
nearby Star Kid. They fell back down to the earth, right above
the Rebel Fort.
Princess Peach looked up and saw the
Mario Bros. and Toad's vertical run down. "Quick!" she
told the other Toads. "Get some mattresses!" With that,
she and the Toads got out some mattresses and started stacking
them right under the falling trio.
Nearby, Bowser watched the two plumbers
and one mushroom come down from Star Haven. "I've heard of
falling stars," Bowser commented, "but plummeting
plumbers? What's the world coming to?"
Inside the Fort's walls, Toad, Mario,
and Luigi all bounced safely onto and off of the mattresses that
Peach and the other Toads had placed. Toad landed in front of
Peach, and Mario and Luigi both landed with heroic poses for the
Toads.
"My heroes!" Peach expressed
as the Toads applauded Mario and Luigi's stunts.
Bowser looked through the hole in the
wall and saw Mario and Luigi. Now he was really ticked off.
"Enough Mr. Nice Guy, it's time for my ultimate
weapon!" He put his binoculars down and gave another order
to his second-in-command. "Mouser! Bring forth... the Thunder-Robirdo!"
Again, Mouser saluted and ran off to
carry out Bowser's orders. He drove up with the so-called
Thunder-Robirdo. If one were to get a look at the
Thunder-Robirdo, he would probably say that it was Bowser's
answer to the Evangelion. Or one would nickname it "the
Eggvangelion". The Thunder-Robirdo was a giant reproduction
of Robirdo, the robotic Birdo look-alike boss that Mario and his
friends had battled during their crusade against Wart in the land
of Subcon.
The Mario Bros., Peach, and the Toads
watched as Mouser brought out the Thunder-Robirdo. "What the
heck is that thing-a?!" Mario said.
"It seems to be that-a-Robirdo
thing from Subcon," Luigi assumed, "only now it must
have swallowed two Super Mushrooms-a!"
Mouser turned the Thunder-Robirdo to
face the Rebel Fort.
"Fire!" Bowser shouted.
Mouser pushed the big red button on the
Thunder-Robirdo's control panel. A giant egg fired out of the
Thunder-Robirdo's nose. Mario and Luigi gasped in terror as the
egg neared the Fort.
BOOM!
When the egg hit the Fort, a big fire
came out. "End of the road, Princess Peach! End of the
road!" Bowser taunted, laughing madly.
"Let's go in and get 'em,
boss!" Mouser suggested when Bowser had finished laughing.
"I bet we barbecued them!"
"No! Wait till the smoke clears,
Mouser!" Bowser said, his arms crossed. "Those plumbers
are tricky. It could be a sink trap!"
Bowser could not have
been more correct, because the Mario Bros., Princess Peach, and
the Toads had not been hit by the Thunder-Robirdo's projectile.
They were hiding safely underground, beneath the fort, to sheild
themselves from the blast.
Peach was the first to come out of her
hiding place. She called out to the others. "Come on, guys!
Bowser and his men will be swarming us any minute! We have to
decoy him so the Rebels can escape."
Mario, Luigi, and the Toads climbed out
of their hiding places.
"But how?" Mario asked.
"We don't-a-have anything he wants-a!"
"Yes we do," Peach replied.
"A tanker full of spaghetti sauce." She pointed to the
aforementioned vehicle. The tank in the back of the truck
resembled a giant bottle of spaghetti sauce, since that's what it
was carrying. "Mario, you drive the truck, and I'll go with
you," Peach said.
Mario nodded in agreement.
"You, Luigi," Peach
continued, "are going to be our eye-in-the-sky. In other
words, you'll be piloting our helicopter."
"Me?" Luigi questioned.
"But I don't know how to fly a helicopter! Especially not
one made out of dustbin! I only know how to fly using Super
Leaves and-a-Cape Feathers-a!"
Peach turned to Fly T. "Fly T.,
show Luigi how to fly the heli--" At that point, another egg
from Thunder-Robirdo hit the ground near them. Peach finished
giving Fly T. his assignment. "--copter. And make it
quick!"
Fly T. walked up to Luigi and started
showing him the controls.
Toad held up the Star Kid he had gotten
a hold of earlier. "Look what I got, Princess!"
"Good work, Toad!" Peach
complimented. "With that Star Kid, you can wish for anything
that'll help us. You could wish to be... the Toad Warrior!"
"You got it!" Toad said. He
held the Star Kid high above him and made his wish. "By the
power of Star Haven, I am the..." Just as he was finishing,
the Star Kid powered up and gave Toad his wish. Instantly, the
little Mushroom Retainer transformed. When he finished his
transformation, he was wearing a blue leather jacket and spikes
on his hat. He sat on a David Harleyson motorcycle, and his high
squeaky voice had turned into a deep Brooklyn accent. "...TOAD
WARRIOR!!!!" He shouted out, finishing his sentence. The
other Toads gathered around the now-Toad Warrior and cheered him.
"'Ey man," Toad said in his new accent, "I'm da
Fantastic Fungus! Da Supacharged Mushroom of Might! I'm da Toad
Warrior!" With that, more cheers sounded from the Toads.
"He's-a-been watching a little too
much of that 'Road Warriors' movie lately," Mario said to
Peach, "wouldn't you say?"
"Gimmie five!" Toad said to
another Toad, who was holding a bag full of Bombs. The
bomb-carrying Toad, whose name was Bomb T., stretched out his
left hand. "No!" Toad shouted. "Gimmie five
Bombs!" As Bomb T. was handing Toad the Bombs, another
explosion sounded.
"Hit the road, Toad!" Peach
said as she and Mario got into the tanker truck.
"Lead on, doll face!" the
Toad Warrior said, turning on his motorcycle's engine.
Outside the Fort,
Bowser and his crew stood in wait. Bowser was still convinced his
enemies were not quite dead, but Mouser and the Koopa State
Troopas were rather unsure of that.
"Come on, boss!" Mouser
pleaded. "They're not even firing back! They must be
history!"
"Oh, all right," Bowser
conceded to his stooge's begging. "Let's move in!"
An engine sounded.
"What the--?" Mouser was cut
off in midsentence by the sight of Mario and Peach driving the
tank of spaghetti sauce right towards them! Bowser and Mouser
leaped out of the way before Mario could drive the truck right
over them.
"Next time, Bowser, use the
crossroad-a!" Mario taunted his foe, driving far away from
them.
Bowser got back on his feet. "I'll
get you for this, Mario! Koopa Pack, reattack!" At this
point, Luigi flew the helicopter over Bowser, knocking him down.
"And get that loser Luigi too!" Then Toad drove his
motorcycle right over the Koopa King. Bowser got back up,
throwing his fists Donald Duck-style. "And get him!
Get them! Get all of them!"
The Koopa State Troopas roared their
cars and gave chase after Mario's group. One of the Koopa Troopas
neared the spaghetti sauce tanker truck and threw a Bob-Omb at
Mario and Peach. Mario picked up the Bob-Omb and Peach looked out
the window. The Koopa Troopa drove up to her side of the truck
and held up another Bob-Omb, laughing in a manner that showed he
was going to hit them with it. Mario handed the first Bob-Omb to
Peach, and she hit the Koopa Troopa with it, blowing him and his
car to bits. Up above, Luigi saw a Goony flying his way, and he
immdiately dove down under its flight path. As he did so, his
copter knocked down a Koopa Troopa that was approaching the
spaghetti sauce truck from the back. The Troopa's car blew up,
taking the Koopa Troopa with it. Luigi proudly placed a sticker
onto his copter. It showed that he had defeated a Koopa Troopa.
Down below, the Koopa Troopa with Bill Blasters on his car's roof
drove towards the truck, blasting Bullet Bills from his Blasters.
The Bullet Bills didn't hit the truck, but they did make it
swerve so violently that Peach nearly fell off of her seat and
out the door. Luigi saw the Koopa Troopa blasting at the
spaghetti sauce truck and flew the copter down. He dropped a Bomb
on the Koopa Troopa, destroying the car and giving the Troopa a
Bob-Ombs Away. Luigi waved to Peach and Mario, and then slapped
another "Koopa Troopa Down" sticker on his copter.
Bowser was driving alongside the
remaining Koopa Troopas. "Forward ho!" Bowser commanded
to the Troopas, and they drove as fast as they could.
Toad drove his motorcycle up near
Bowser's car. "Hey punk, wanna drag?" Toad said, as he
turned up the gas on his motorcycle and left the Koopa King in
the dust.
Bowser coughed the dust away. "No
miserable little mushroom beats King-of-the-Road Bowser Koopa in
a race!" He poured on the gas to catch up with Toad.
Mouser honked his horn to the last few
Koopa Troopas, driving the tank on which the Thunder-Robirdo was
placed. "Out of my way! Coming through!" The Koopa
Troopas gave Mouser plenty enough space for him to drive the
Thunder-Robirdo through.
Mario looked in his rear-view mirror.
"Uh-oh," he said to Peach. "Here comes trouble.
And it's in the form of-a-Mouser driving
that-a-Thunder-Robirdo!"
Peach opened her door and got on the
roof of the truck, carrying Bomb T.'s bag of Bombs. "Just
keep going. I'll take care of Racer Rat!"
Mouser fired an egg at the truck. Peach
gasped as the egg triggered an explosion right near the truck.
The last remaining Koopa Troopa (Luigi had hit the others one
with Bombs) jumped off of his car and onto the truck. But Peach
threw a Bomb at the Koopa Troopa, who stupidly took it back with
him to his truck, where the Bomb blew up in his face.
But then, Mouser drove the
Thunder-Robirdo right up to the truck. "Jump away, Princess
Peach!" he shouted. "I'm gonna blow that tanker truck
off the road!"
Peach stood up heroically. "Yo!
That's what you think!" With that, she threw the entire bag
of Bombs into the Thunder-Robirdo's nose. Needless to say, Mouser
was not at all happy about this. He panicked
heavily.
BOOM!
The Thunder-Robirdo exploded, knocking
Mouser high into the sky. Peach cheered to herself triumphantly
as Mouser flew right by Luigi's copter. Luigi put another sticker
on his copter and took out another Bomb. "What-a-comes up
must go down-a," he said, dropping the Bomb so that it got
near Mouser.
Mouser saw the Bomb in front of him.
"Not again!" he said, right before the Bomb exploded,
knocking him even further into the air. He screamed as he
disappeared from sight in the twinkle of a star.
Toad and Bowser were by now
neck-in-neck. Toad shouted to Bowser. "Foist one t'reach da
Mt. Rugged Grand Canyon gets da spaghetti sauce! Deal?"
"Deal!" Bowser agreed
mockingly. "For sure it won't be you, Biker Breath!"
The Mt. Rugged Grand Canyon was a long
vertical chasm in the middle of Mt. Rugged. Mario and Peach were
driving the tanker truck right by this canyon while Luigi flew
overhead in the dustbin helicopter.
"We got them all, Mario! Every one
of Bowser's State Koopa Troopas!" Peach said victoriously.
Then she realized something. "But what about Bowser
Koopa?"
They drove the truck over a bridge in
the canyon, and Luigi flew over it. Mario parked the truck and
Luigi landed the copter. The three of them got out of their
vehicles and watched what was happening on the other side.
"I think we're about to get an
answer-a," Mario said, in reply to Peach's realization about
Bowser.
Toad and Bowser had reached a tie on
reaching the canyon, so Bowser called for a tie breaker.
"Hey, Warthog Boy, let's play chicken!" he insulted
Toad. "Whoever slows down first loses!" Toad agreed to
the challenge.
The two engines started roaring at top
speed toward the edge of the canyon. The Mario Bros. and Princess
Peach gasped as the two riders made a defiant jump across the
rugged canyon.
The way it turned out, Bowser's car ran
out of gas during the jump, and he crashed into the mountainside
as Toad's motorcycle made it all the way over the canyon. Bowser
looked down over the gorge. During which, his car loosened from
the mountainside. He and his car fell out and plummeted down.
"Whoooooooooooooooaaa!"
Bowser screamed as he made the big drop. Luckily, as he fell, he
opened up a parachute in the backpack he had been wearing. As he
slowly descended downwards, he shouted up to the good guys.
"I'll be back! You can't keep a bad Koopa down!" With
that, he made a safe landing in the river at the bottom of the
canyon.
Toad had by now done enough as the Toad
Warrior, and so, his wish wore off and he transformed back to his
normal self. "Wow!" he said, talking in his normal
squeaky voice again. "No more Toad Warrior until the next
time I need it!"
Mario ran up to his paezano and gave
him a hug. "Ha hey, you made eet, Toad!"
"We all made it!" Toad said,
proud of himself.
"Thank you, my friends!"
Peach said congratulatorily. "You've saved the Mushroom
Kingdom once again! There will be spaghetti sauce for
everyone."
"Sounds-a-good to me!" Mario
said, doing his V For Victory finger sign. He ran over to the
tank full of spaghetti sauce.
"Wait, Mario!" Peach said.
"Control yourself! I said spaghetti sauce for
everyone!"
"I can't-a," Mario said to
the Princess as he stood in front of the tank. "I've-a-been
eating dried pasta for three weeks! I gotta have it!" With
that, he turned the valve on the faucet on the back of the truck.
