Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Rival Spirits

Chapter 1: It's a me, Mario

I don't own Smash Bros.


Mario, winner of the Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament. He awaited the next tournament, Brawl. He'd heard several new entries would be making an appearances, from far away lands, and even different worlds. He looked out across the Mushroom Kingdom. Though he was not even from mushroom kingdom, he'd become their champion after his many battles with Bowser, King of the Koopas. Today was peaceful, but his eye caught someone approaching from the side. Peach.

"Mario! Bowser's making trouble in the city," Peach explained to the Italian plumber. Mario immediately sprung to his feet, and Peach pulled out a yellow shimmering cape. Mario took it and tied it around his neck. "Kick his ass!" Peach exclaimed as Mario took to the skies.

Mario soared over the city, looking all over for Bowser. Finally, Mario heard an explosion and looked up to see one of the Mushroom skyscrapers burning. Mario zoomed in and landed on the streets. All around was chaos and toadstool civilians running away in terror, dodging wrecked cars and random debris. Mario looked forward into a large blanket of smoke, when the Koopa King himself emerged via Koopa Clown Car.

"I'll have your head at last Mario!" Bowser roared, bloodlust in his voice.

Mario quickly jumped to the side to dodge the charging Koopa Car. Bowser made a sharp u-turn and came careening towards the plumber once more.

"Damn you Mario!" Bowser screamed.

Mario frowned and braced himself for contact with the speeding Car. Bowser smiled, thinking he had his rival, when Mario performed a side smash, releasing a pressurized orb of flame right through Bowser's vehicle. The Car stopped dead in it's track, sending the Koopa King flying out from his seat and into a store window.

"So long, Bowser," Mario laughed at his foe. Bowser emerged from the debris and jumped back onto the streets.

"I hate you! I'll tear you apart with my bare hands!" Bowser bellowed.

"…," Mario sighed, seeing Bowser had only received injury to his ego. "Let's get this over with."

Hero and villain charged at each other, and Mario slid to perform a double leg sweep, but Bowser hopped and threw his whole weight into a shoulder check. Mario was hit full force, and the plumber was sent flying through an ice cream parlor. Bowser charged once more, his horns lowered like a bull, and smashed through the building.

"You need to grab the bull by the horns!" Mario laughed, grabbing Bowser's horns. Mario the kicked Bowser right in the mouth and spun the beast around, releasing him into the air. Bowser landed hard on his shell, temporarily immobilizing the Koopa King.

"Good job, Mario," a sweet feminine voice said. Mario walked out from the destroyed building and saw Peach land with her umbrella. Mario smiled, but soon frowned again when he saw Bowser pull himself up.

"You think it's so easy to defeat me?" Bowser demanded, his ego now even more injured.

"I do!" a voice said from out of nowhere. A blue blur shot zipped through the street and nailed Bowser, launching Bowser far into the sky and out of the battle.

"What the-" Mario was stopped when a figure instantly appeared just a foot away from him. It was a large blue hedgehog.
