Brawl Like No Other (Total Mario Island Episode 1)
Diddy Kong was sat in the Camp Mario kitchens, looking at his watch, until Swanky Kong barged in. "We need contestants! We need 40 contestants for my new show... Total Mario Island!"
" Wow! You didn't name it after yourself?"
"Just go!" yelled Swanky. Diddy pottered over to the I.C.T room. He sat down in the large leather recliner and began to type. He e-mailed most of his family first and got instant results: Candy Kong messaged back first, saying she'd be delighted, then Lanky said he was ill, so maybe next time. Funky Kong said he was a little held up at a different game-show, so that moved him off the list. Then Tiny asked when she could come, instantly answered 'ASAP!' Dixie then said she was on her way. Cranky and Wrinkly were looking after Baby and Jr. because the littlun's had been injured. And finally, Chunky messaged that DK was at his, and they could both come. "OK, so that's 5 down and 35 to go!...Eugh...!"
After getting Goombella, Toad, Toadette, Honey Queen, Toadsworth, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Daisy, Peach, Wario, Waluigi, Birdo, Yoshi, Dry Bowser, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Koopa, Paratroopa, Roy, Wendy, Lemmy, Larry, Iggy, Dry Bones, King Boo, Shy Guy, Lakitette and Lakitu, Diddy needed only 3 more! 'Hmm...' he pondered. "What about Princess Rosalina! She could bring 2 extra people as-well!" he sent the letter straight away!
When Diddy opened the I.C.T room tent flap, he saw everyone there! Chatting, doing each others hair, playing games...You name it! He didn't, however, see Rosalina. So he stumbled through the crowd smiling at an occasional friend or family member, until he reached the dock of shame. A boat sped towards him from the horizon – It was Rosalina! He couldn't quite make out who she was with though. Diddy collected Swanky, and told him the last three contestants were arriving. "Great!" exclaimed Swanky. The boat reached the dock of shame, and Rosalina hopped off. Followed by...Wiggler and Petey?! "Wiggler and Petey?!" whisper – shouted Swanky. "The only two I could find. Wiggler's not that bad...But Petey talks for hours!"
"Wiggler? Not that bad?" asked Swanky, clearly amused.
"Shhhshushhhshshhhh!" Rosalina exclaimed suddenly. "Don't get him angry" she muttered "Or you'll know about it!"
When everyone was settled, Swanky proceeded to tell everyone, that if they won, they would receive £1,000,000. They would do challenges in teams, and which ever team lost, would vote out one of their own players. The two team-mates with the most votes, would go head – to – head in a mini-battle. If it was a draw, the player with the most votes would be eliminated. If it was still a tie, then hewill decide who he want's to be thrown off the show. Oh yeah, and if the teams tie, he decide's which team deserve to he told everyone that they get to pick the teams and team names! It was a mad scramble, but in the end, King Boo, Waluigi, Paratroopa, Koopa Troopa, Dry Bones, Wendy. O. Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, Larry Koopa, Roy Koopa, Bowser Jr., Bowser, Iggy Koopa, Dry Bowser and Wario were the 'Big Bad Brawlers' Goombella, Birdo, Yoshi, Shy Guy, Lakitette and Lakitu made a team. They were just about to pick a team name, when Wiggler asked if he could join. No-one wanted to make him angry, so they all said yes. Then Petey said he was joining, and their team name was 'The Frutti-Tutti Bunch' Mario, Luigi, Rosalina, Daisy, Peach, Toadette, Toad, Baby Peach, Baby Luigi, Baby Daisy, Baby Mario and Toadsworth were 'Team Royale' So Candy, Tiny, Dixie, Chunky and DK made...Err...'Kong Power'. Honey Queen was the only person, that didn't have a team! "So, Honey Queen, which team do you want to be on?"
"The Frutti-Tutti Bunch!" She exclaimed.
"OK, now your team colours!"
"Red!" yelled Bowser
"Gold!" cried Peach
"Brown!" boomed DK
"Multi-coloured!" Roared Petey
"Here are your camps – good old-fashioned, tents! Get your teams' colour!"
"The first challenge is...A cave run! Your team must navigate it's way through a cave, but beware: There are so many twists and turns, you might get lost! And you need every single one of your players to get to the finish line! The last whole team to the finish line faces elimination! But the first placed team get a prize!" this sent a buzz of excitement through the group. "Off to the cave!"
Once at the cave, everyone had helmets on, that represented their team. For example, Dry Bones from Big Bad Brawlers had a red helmet. "GO!" yelled Swanky Kong. Kong Power were off to a great start – but could they maintain their lead? Team Royale were doing pretty good as-well! Big Bad Brawlers were strategizing and The Frutti-Tutti Bunch were doing everything slowly, so as not to get lost. Kong Power seemed to know exactly where they were going. "They're just pretending, to throw us off our game!" Toadsworth said matter-of-factly. "OK Toadsworth, so which way?" asked Peach.
"This way!" yelled Luigi running down a tunnel.
Kong Power had reached a dead-end. "But I was sure of it! I was sure it was this way!" Stuttered DK. He did not want to be voted off! Chunky hit the ground with his fists several times, and the wall fell away, to reveal another tunnel. "Genius!" cried Candy.
Big Bad Brawlers charged past The Frutti-Tutti Bunch. "So long suckers!" yelled Wario. "This way!" called Dry Bowser dashing down a tunnel.
"Well," said Lakitu "I think it's this way!"
"Yeah!" cried Lakitette "Me too!"
"Let's go then!" exclaimed Wiggler. Everyone ran down the tunnel.
Team Royale had reached a dead-end. There was a small gap in the wall, but no-one could fit through it. "Nice going, Toadsworth!" Said Luigi, trying to save his bacon. "If we had gone the same way as Kong Power, we'd probably be outta here by now!" everyone nodded.
"Well there were different tunnels to choose from, and I was going to choose a different one!" retorted Toadsworth. Everyone nodded.
"LOOK!" screeched Peach "This is going nowhere! Now let's get out of here!" she began to run back down the tunnel.
Big Bad Brawlers were catching up to Kong Power. "Look! There's Dixie from Kong Power! If we catch her, Kong Power will lose, and they'll all blame little Dixie!" cackled Bowser Jr. King Boo swooped over, only for Dixie to run off shouting: "Haha!Haha!HAHA!HAHA!HAHA!HAHA!"
"Geez, no need to rub it in..." muttered Roy.
Swanky was waiting at the finish line. "Which team will win?" he wondered aloud, to the camera. "Look, there's Kong Power! But where's Dixie? Oh, there she is, charging out of the cave! Kong Power get first! Here come Big Bad Brawlers. Big Bad Brawlers are second!" Both teams sat down on benches that represented their team. "Who is going to have to vote a player out? The Frutti-Tutti Bunch or Team Royale? Look, here come The Frutti-Tutti Bunch... Followed by Team Royale! Team Royale are catching up! It's neck and neck! Team Royale are pulling ahead... The Frutti-Tutti Bunch win!"
"What? But I crossed the finish line first!" cried Daisy.
"Yeah, but Toadsworth crossed it last! And the team with a player that crosses the line last, lose! Oh yeah, Kong Power? Your prize is lots of proper food!"
"Proper food?" questioned Mario.
"Each team will receive disgusting food, but if they win a prize to do with food, (For example, salt and pepper) they will get the prize with their teams meals."
"Great..." grumbled Wiggler.
"OK, here we are at the elimination ceremony! If you get a mushroom, then your safe! Mushrooms go to: Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Mario, Peach, Baby Daisy, Toadette, Baby Luigi, Toad and Rosalina. We are left with Daisy, Luigi and Toadsworth. The last mushroom goes to: Daisy! Luigi and Toadsworth, time to face off in the battle... Hay Bale Boom!"
"You have to roll as many hay-bale's as possible into the enemy's basket. Once you have all the hay-bale's used up, the person with the most hay-bale's in their basket, will be blown up by a bob-omb, to the Dock Of Shame, where they get onto the Boat Of Losers and take a ride home. GO!" Luigi went for the bales on the edge, where as Toadsworth took them from the middle. Toadsworth's basket was filling up fast, so he started taking bales from there instead. "That's cheating!" yelled Luigi
"No it is not!"said Toadsworth
"I never said you couldn't!" called Swanky Kong. Luigi growled but carried on taking bales from inbetween both of them - until his basket started to fill up. Then he resorted to the same tactics. Toadsworth's basket was now filling, and Toadsworth was tiring. Luigi took the final bale into Toadsworth's basket. Down fell the bob-omb. Down. Down. Down. It landed in Toadsworth's hands. "This isn't how I expected to..." he began. Toadsworth was blasted away, to the Dock Of Shame. "Toadsworth... Toadsworth... Toadsworth. How does it feel to be the first eliminated?" asked Swanky Kong.
"Unsatisfactory," Replied Toadsworth. "But I believe in Team Royale, and I am certain one of them will win!"
"Goodbye Toadsworth!" called Swanky as Toadsworth was driven away in the Boat Of Losers. "Come back next time, for the most dramatic and exiting episode yet! I know, more exiting than this!"
