Okay, this is going to be weird. Has anybody made an Olympic Games story before? About Mario and Sonic? In the Kirby section? I don't think so. Anyways, the Kirby section part doesn't make any sense until chapter two, so you might have to read a bit before your favorite characters come. First chapter has some plot specific points. Also, watch out for any mistakes that I have made, with character behavior or even spelling; they may be on purpose.

INTRODUCTIONAL ANTICS.

It was a dark night. In the small commentary box atop the large Olympic stadium filled with people sat four figures, one of them with his head laying on the table in front of them, snoring lightly. The room was lightly lit from above and each person had a microphone in front of them, resting on the table.

One of them, a small yellow ball creature with brown shoes, dark eyes and a star attached to her head, looked towards the door nervously. A turtle-like creature riding atop a cloud with eyes gave her a nod. She smiled and turned back to the table.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke into the microphone.

"Welcome, Goombas, Chaos, Koopas and robots, to the Olympic Games of 2016!"

A loud cheer erupted from the crowd. The star creature smiled.

"My name is Starlow, and I am a star sprite who assisted Mario and Luigi on some of their many adventures! I am here as a commentator along with Cosmo, who helped Sonic and Tails to save the universe from the Metarex! Give her a hand!"

She glanced at the person next to her as the crowd started to cheer louder. Cosmo was a young girl with short, green bangs framing her face and flowers coming out the sides of her head. She wore a green and white dress lined with pink, making her look like a flower. She had green eyes and was rather pretty.

"I also have here with me Light Gaia, also known as Chip, who helped Sonic save the world from the Dark Gaia." Starlow continued once the crowd had died down. "Give him a round of applause!"

The crowd continued cheering.

Chip was a small, red-brown cat-like creature with a small tuft of white hair on top of his head, as well as a matching tail. He had a small green gem hanging from a ribbon around his neck, and four green, transparent wings on his back, two on each side of his body. He was sitting on the other side of Cosmo, furthest away from Starlow.

"And last but not least, Professor Egad, who... Is sleeping?"

Starlow stared at the slightly aged man in curiosity. How did he manage to fall asleep with all the noise going on? She tapped him on the shoulder with a foot, waking him up.

Professor Egad was a short man, around Mario's height, and wore a lab coat, glasses with a spiral pattern on each glass and had a tuft of white hair on top off his head. He woke up slowly, mumbling something about bell towers and pigs.

"What do you want, Sli… uh... Starlow?" he yawned.

Starlow giggled. "Professor Egad has helped Mario and Luigi on many occasions, and is an inventor who is known all over the Mushroom Kingdom! Give him a hand!"

The crowd cheered even louder than before.

"Now, this year's Games are going to be very special ones." Starlow stated.

"Very special indeed." Cosmo agreed. "This is because we have merged the summer and winter sports together!"

"This year's games are also being held in a neighboring dimension!" Chip exclaimed. He had a strange accent, and seemed to stretch his vowels. "I wonder why this could be..."

Egad chuckled. "I know why, but that's for me to know and you guys to find out."

Starlow smiled. "Well, now, let's see what some of the events will be...

"There'll be swimming events; the 100m Freestyle, the 400m relay, and a new event: the 20m dive!"

"Then there will be the athletics events; 100m sprint, 400m run, 400m relay, 110m hurdles and a special race from our friends in this dimension as our track events." Continued Cosmo.

"Then we have long jump, high jump, triple jump, javelin, discus, shot put and hammer throw for our field events."

"Next we have the miscellaneous events," Chip added. "Rowing, skiing, fencing, skeet, archery, table tennis, figure skating, ice hockey, bobsledding and the equestrian events; show jumping, relay and cross country."

"Let's not forget the Dream Events!" Smiled Egad. "Those will be revealed throughout the Games."

"Speaking of the Games," Starlow piped up, "We can't have a competition without the competitors! So, now, let's meet them!"
