Okay, here we go with another spinoff. And this time, it's from a very popular game show, in its 28th season, in fact. Welcome to Mario Survivor! Please review what you think or who you want to be sent home! Enjoy!
Jeff Probst stepped up to a precipice atop a cliff, overlooking some water, with planes flying in the distance.
"Tonight, we have the beginning of one of the most controversial, eccentric, spectacular seasons of Survivor ever concieved. Twenty Mario characters we all know are thrust into the real world of the Phillipines, where they will have to adjust to their new environment. Thirty-nine days. Two tribes. One goal. One Survivor."
The familiar intro played, with action shots of all the characters. After that, the camera cuts to a plane with Mario's symbol on it.
"First off, we have the two most famed brothers of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi." The camera cuts to a shot of Mario speaking in an empty room. (You know how they do that every once in a while in reality shows? A shot of the character speaking with no one else around for a few seconds? Exactly like that.)
"This-a game... This game is powerful, emotional, but also-a fun to play. It's a very rewarding experience." The camera cuts to Luigi in the same situation.
"So I'm out over the water of the-a Phillippines. I've never been here before. I don't-a know what to expect here. But I guess I'll-a just have to, how you say, roll with it." The camera moves to a plane flying beside them, with Peach's emblem on the side.
"Second, we have the princesses, Peach and Daisy." The camera cuts to Peach.
"Okay, this is unfamiliar territory for me. I don't know what's going to happen, or who's going to be here. It's like I'm trekking into a whole new world. Or maybe... Maybe I already am." Then it went to Daisy.
"I've seen a place like this in Sarasaland. It's a very quiet place, which I've been to a couple times. It's the people here that's going to make this game an experience for me." Then it showed a third plane, with an egg emblem.
"Third, one helper of the hero, and one that hindered. Yoshi and Birdo." The camera didn't cut to them anymore. Instead, it eyed both of them at the same time.
"The real world's a scary place. But it's worth it when you get to see your friends again."
"And also get the chance to win the million coins, as well." Yoshi nodded in her direction. The camera then had to look over the tail of the plane to see the next one.
"Fourth, we have the only Toads that will be participating. And some good ones, too.". The camera shifted in Toad's direction, not getting him alone, but with Toadette inside the plane.
"I can imagine my competitor's fury when we win the million coins. But then again, it's all in good fun!" Toadette simply nodded at him, smiling. The introductions continued until Jeff had introduced all twenty characters. Then the planes started landing, and the contestants popped out one by one, each one applauding the next. When all of them were settled, Jeff spoke again.
"Welcome to Survivor."
"Glad to be here." some contestants replied, but Jeff didn't know who.
"First things first..." He lifted up a scroll. "Let's put you onto your tribes." Everyone fell silent as he opened up the scroll. "Wow. It's as quiet as Tribal Council around here." Everyone laughed at this, some more than others. "Okay. First, on the Descantia tribe, we have Mario, Luigi, Daisy..." The latter two hugged at the mention of their two names.
Peach, Toad, Koopa Troopa..."
"Hey!" Bowser roared at Jeff for placing his minion with all the heroes.
"Yoshi, Birdo, Wario, and..." Toad silently was hoping for something. Please let it be Toadette, please, please, please...
"The last Descantia member will be Toadette."
"Yes!" Toad hugged her in happiness. Everyone just stared, but mainly the remaining characters. When they pulled away, Bowser piped up.
"Did you seriously have to do that in front of everyone, hugging your little mushroom-head girlfriend?"
"Look who's talking!" Toad shot back. "Maybe you should think about your relationship with Peach and see if it's going as well as this!" Everyone oohed at the comeback, and Roy, one of his Koopalings, slapped his back.
"I hate to say this, but you just got owned."
"Shut up!" Bowser roared, and clouted him.
"Well, this is turning real controversial, real fast." Jeff inquired. "Alright, now for the other tribe. For the Dementia tribe, we have Bowser, Ludwig, Roy, Iggy, Lemmy, Bowser Junior, Wendy, Larry, Paratroopa, and Morton." All of them cheered.
"Okay. Now that we have established your tribes, let's move on to your first immunity challenge." An overhead shot of the battlefield appeared, with shots of what the player was going to do, as he said it. "For this challenge, you will select four tribe members to paddle a boat out to sea, being careful to avoid obstacles. Once you get to the dock, one of those people must dive down, untie a bag of puzzle pieces, and the four must swim back. Then another team of four goes. Once you have both bags of puzzle pieces, the remaining two tribe members must untie them to solve a puzzle, which gives you the code to the combination lock, raising the flag. First team to raise their flag..." He pointed to the tribal immunity idol. "Wins immunity. In addition, you are playing for reward. Want to know what you're playing for?"
"Yeah!" Everyone said this in unison.
"The winning tribe's reward..." He pulled off a strip of cloth, revealing some flint. "Fire." Everyone oohed at this, wanting to earn it. "Very, very helpful in this game. Worth playing for?"
"Yeah!" Another unison chant erupted.
"All right, then. I'll give you a few minutes to strategize. Let's get started.
