Behind the Scenes of Paper Mario
Chapter 1: The Concept is Conceived! Mario gets a Makeover!

Disclaimer: I own jack squat. If Nintendo sues me, it'll have to be for jellybeans.
Yoshi: Yum, jellybeans!
O_O....get away from me...

Scene: Mario is in a meeting with some Japanese C.E.O.s. (A/N: This has been translated into English
for my...uh...your convenience)
Miyamoto: (A/N: That's Mario's creator) You need to lose some weight, Mario.
Mario: *is shoveling pasta into his mouth* Hmph, I dof neg ta fuse weif!
Miyamoto: O_O Without all the food please?
Mario: *swallows* I don't need to lose weight!
Japanese Guy #1: PAPER!
Japanese Guys #2, #3, Miyamoto: *stares* Ummm...*little lightbulb goes on*
Mario: *stares*....*no little lightbulb goes on* Right.
Japanese Guy # 2: Paper light!
Japanese Guy # 3: Thin too!
Miyamoto: And we shall call it, PAPER MARIO!
Mario: Say what?
Miyamoto: TO THE PAPERIZER!
Mario: *little lightbulb goes on* AAAAHHHHHHHH!
The Japanese Guys pick up Mario, with great difficulty of course, and leave the room
with Miyamoto following closely behind.
Mario: Put me down! I don't want to be paper! It's not in my contract!
Miyamoto: Yes it is! Page 3, section 7, paragraph 4! Read it sometime!

Scene: A lounge. Peach and Bowser are there, gazing at each other adoringly. Luigi is arguing with
Yoshi and, for some reason, there's a poster of Adolf Hitler (A/N: Hitler belongs to Germany. Or Satan,
whichever got him first) between them.
Bowser: Peachy, darling. *sighs* ^_^
Peach: Bowsy! *sighs* ^_^
Luigi: Hitler rules, you little green dinosaur!
Yoshi: No! Sadame Husane rules! (A/N: I don't
own him either. His government can keep him.)
Yoshi and Luigi begin a tug o war with the poster. Mario walks in
and he's been *gasp* PAPERIZED! BUM BUM BUUMMMM!
Luigi: Look at Mario!
Miyamoto walks in behind him grinning like there's no tomorrow.
Yoshi: Did you do this?
Miyamoto: ^_^ *nods*
Luigi, Yoshi: You rule!
Peach: Icky! Now he's even uglier! Why couldn't Bowsy have been the good guy?! *cries*
Bowser: Don't worry, Peachiness. *hugs Peach*
Miyamoto: *completely ignores Bowser* We have plans for a new game! You all have to be paperized!
Bowser: Not Peach!
Miyamoto: Yes, Peach.
Bowser: Let's settle this outside.
Bowser and Miyamoto walk outside and fighting is heard.
Bowser: I'll protect Peach's beauty with my life!
Miyamoto: Don't forget, I sign your paycheck!
Bowser: *gulp* _ I don't care anymore!
Peach: Bowsy is so brave! ^_^
Bowser: OW! LEGGO OF MY TAIL!
A few minutes later, Miyamoto drags a beaten, paperized Bowser in by his tail.
Bowser: Peachiness, I've failed you...
Peach: Bowsy! Your handsome, 3-d face has been flattened!
Mario: You're supposed to love me, Peach!
Peach: An ugly, fat plumber? Icky, no!
Miyamoto: TO THE PAPERIZER!
(A/N: I'll have to skip what happened next. The violence would change this story's rating to
NC-17.) An hour later, the main cast, minus Mario's new sidekicks, have been paperized.
Peach: *cries*
Bowser: I still love you, Peachy!
Mario: I love you too!
Peach: *blinks*...ugh...*cries harder*
Bowser: Insensitive plumber!
Luigi, Yoshi: You don't rule, Mr. Miyamoto.
Luigi: Hitler wasn't even close to being as evil as is.
Miyamoto: *completely ignoring them* Now, auditions for new cast members!
Mario: How many?
Miyamoto: Alot! Thirty-five of them!
Mario, Bowser, Yoshi, Peach, Luigi: Grrr...
A screen that says "Censored" appears and Mario and
company begin to beat the poor man senseless.
Peach: Hold him, Bowsy! I'm going to make him pay for what he did to me!
Miyamoto: YOU'RE BREAKING MY ARM!
Bowser: That's the point!
Mario: I'll restore your beauty, Peach!
Peach: Icky, get away from me!
Yoshi: Husane!
Luigi: Hitler!
Bowser: Leave my Peach alone, fatso!
Miyamoto scrambles out of the fight and makes a call on his cell phone.
Miyamoto: Hello? Yes, I need thirty-five positions filled. When? Next chapter.




You all heard the man! Auditions are up next! If anyone out on the web wants to take part,
just give me a name and a description of how you act! Anyone who wants to take part is welcome!
Yoshi: That's your reader participation thing?
Yes.
Yoshi: Where'd you get this idea?!
*shrugs* No clue. Oh, I have a cliffhanger type thing for you all! Hang on.
Mario: Thirty-five new names to memorize. ARGH! There's no need for new cast members!
Peach: Or being paperized!
^_^ Buh-Bye 'till next time!
