There were forty of them playing. Forty smashers on one boat, waiting for the game to begin: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Pit, Meta Knight, Kirby, Dedede, Ike, Marth, Roy, Red, Pikachu, Lucario, Pichu, Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, Sonic, Snake, Lucas, Ness, Fox, Falco, Wolf, Samus, Spyro, Cynder, Wario, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Toon Link, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Captian Falcon, Ice Climbers, and Olimar. Just then, a giant white glove came floating up.
"Hello," the glove said. "As you know, I am Master Hand."
"We know," Wario said.
"I was talking to the dragons," Master Hand said, pointing towards Spyro and Cynder.
"But those two aren't in Melee or Brawl," Mario pointed out.
"So," Master Hand said. "There will be four teams with ten people on each team."
"Sweet," Samus said. At this point, Master Hand got angry at being interupted.
"WILL EVERYONE SHUT THE HECK UP!" he yelled as everyone calmed down. "When I say go, the first person who gets a flag in the right place will be team captian. Like the blue flag will go into the blue hole."
"We get it," Marth said. Master Hand looked at him with the 'you better be quiet' look. (How in the world did he get a face?)
"Just go," Master Hand said with a wave his hands. Everyone looked at the island they were going to and abandoned ship. Of course, those with wings flew to the island. Spyro and Mega Knight were having a fight over the purple flag. Pit noticed this and took it. He was then tripped by Charizard, who took it and placed it in the purple hole.
"Purple Team Captain: Red," Crazy Hand siad, floating into view. Spyro growled and saw Cynder get the black flag in.
"Black Team Captain: Cynder," Crazy Hand said. Spryo smirked and ran towards Cynder. Pit, in the meantime, got up and ran for the green flag, since everyone was concertrated on the blue flag. He placed the green flag in the hole.
"Green Team Captain: Pit," Crazy Hand said. That left the blue team captain. Lucario grabbed it first, only to get hit by Ganon. The flag went flying, Marth catching it. Then, Mewtwo hit Marth in the stomach, letting Wolf grab the flag. Jigglypuff made everyone around her fall asleep, including Wolf. She grabbed the flag and ran to put it in the blue hole. She was about to put it in when a Thunderbolt hit her. Pikachu grabbed it and put it in.
"Blue Team Captain: Pikachu," Crazy Hand said. "Now choose your nine players.
Red's Team: Sonic, Yoshi, Samus, Fox, Lucas, Ike, Lucario, Kirby, Bowser
Cynder's Team: Spyro, Zelda, Luigi, Mario, Marth, Pichu, Ness, Wario, Donkey Kong
Pit's Team: Roy, Mewtwo, Diddy Kong, Wolf, Meta Knight, Toon Link, Peach, Olmar, Ice Climbers
Pikachu's Team: Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, Mr. Game & Watch, Ganondof, Link, Dedede, R.O.B., Snake, Falco
"Now go and find your cabins," Master Hand said as he appeared.
"OKAY!" The four teams yelled and ran off.
Blue Team:
Pikachu's Team didn't have to looke long, since the cabin was right there.
"So Pika," Link said. "How about choosing a cool name for the blue team?"
"Lightning?" Jigglypuff suggested.
"I like it," Pikachu said.
Black Team:
The cabin for the black team was right by a waterfall.
"Lovely," Zelda said.
"I think," Cynder said, looking at her team. "We should call the black team Mysterious."
"Neat name Cynder," Spyro said.
Purple Team:
"How about Dinosaur?" Yoshi asked.
"No," Red said.
"Licker?" Yoshi suggested.
"No," Red shot the suggestion.
"Aura?" Lucario suggested this time.
"Perfect," Red said. "This is the purple team's name: Aura." The Aura's cabin was in the middle of the island.
Green Team:
"Ice?" Nana asked.
"No," Pit said. This was the hundredth name someone suggested for the black team after they found the cabin.
"Element Angel?" Mawtwo suggested.
"Its a grand name," Pit said. Wolf wanted it to be something different, but he decided it was a good name. For now, the moon was rising and tomorrow would be there first day of competition.
