Hoi Hoi Hoi, NyanToDaMax here, and welcome to Super Smash Whodunnit! Mysteries involving the Smashers and funny antics on the way. The rules are simple: Look for clues throughout the story, and try to figure out who did the crime. The answers will be at the end of the chapter. But who's the detective? Let's find out… Now let's get into the first mystery, and let's see if you can solve the Mystery first…
"POYOOOOOOO!" the panicked scream pierced the morning air, waking the Smashers from sleep.
"Kirby? What time is- FIVE IN THE MORNING?!" I yelled. Hi. I'm Nyan. I'm a Swordfighter Mii in Smash Mansion. And right now, it seems as if Kirby needs a bit of help.
"Hey, Pi! Wake up!" I cried to my older sister, who was sleeping in the bunk underneath me. She groaned and did not wake up. I sighed.
"Nayi? Are you up?" I asked, jumping down from my bunk.
"Brownies, of course I am! Kirby woke me up!" she said, and rolled off her bunk. I sneaked up to my sister and yelled in her ear,
"HEY SIS! LINK IS GOING SWIMMING!" I yelled. Pi instantly sprang up, hit her head on the top bunk, and fell off her bunk.
"Ha! Tricked ya! Now get up." I said. I walked over to our door and opened it, sword at the ready. Kirby was screaming up a storm. Smashers were poking their head out of their doors, confused at what was happening. I made my way out and walked down the stairs to the main hall. The screaming seemed to be coming from the kitchens.
"Kirby, what's going on?" I asked, peeking into the kitchen. The little pink puffball was running in panicked circles.
"POYO! POYOPOYOPOYOPOYOOOOOO!" Kirby cried, pointing frantically at the fridge. I walked over and opened it up.
"What the…" I muttered. The fridge was completely empty. So was the pantry. As I checked the drawers, I noticed a piece of white fluff on the corner of one. Interesting.
"Looks like we've gotta tell this to Master." I said. The poor pink puffball was panicking from lack of food, so I gave him a cookie from our stash. The last one.
"This isn't good. With no food, our mansion can't function. And you know how some of the people here can't run without food." Master mused. Kirby, Nayi, Pi, and I were standing in front of his desk in his office.
"I will send a patrol out to buy more food," Master said, rising from his chair, "and could you please find out whoever did this?"
"Oreo, of course sir! Anyone who steals food is just a meanie!" Nayi sighed. Master opened the door to his office so we could go out.
"Hey Kirby, I think there are some strawberries in the garden," I murmured gently to the traumatized little puffball, "Go help yourself, okay?" Kirby perked up and waddled happily into the garden. I saw Crazy Hand and motioned him over.
"Could you get the Smashers who aren't going to get food to assemble in the lounge?" I asked him, "I need to interview them." Crazy smiled and pulled out a megaphone. We barely had time to cover our ears before he screamed into it:
"HEY SMASHERS! MEET IN THE LOUNGE RIGHT NOWWWWWW!" I sighed and turned to Nayi and Pi.
"Okay guys. Could you check the kitchen for any more clues while I interview the Smashers?" I asked, pulling my clipboard out from my hammerspace. Pi and Nayi nodded and headed to the kitchen. I taped the piece of white fluff on my clipboard.
Well, I thought, At least I know that the culprit wears white.
"I'm not really seeing anything here…" Pi called over to Nayi. The two were searching in the kitchen for clues on who the culprit might be.
"Gummies! I found something!" Nayi cried. Pi walked over to see what she was looking at. Nayi held up… a pack of carrots. Pi sighed.
"Nayi, now really isn't the time to eat any-"
"But this means that the culprit doesn't like veggies! This whole drawer is empty, but look!" Nayi cried, pulling the drawer out. Hidden beneath the drawer itself were all the vegetables in the kitchen.
"Huh, weird. I'll go tell Nyan. You keep looking." Pi said.
~Nyan's POV~
"Ahem, may I have your attention please?" I called to the lounge, clapping my hands. The Smashers had been assembled in the lounge so that it would be easier for me to interview them.
"You all know that the kitchen was emptied this morning by an unknown person or persons. Master Hand told me to figure out who the culprit is, so I ask your cooperation while I ask you some questions one by one." I said. The Smashers murmured to one another.
"Yo sis! I need to tell you something!" Pi cried, running up to me. She whispered to me that the culprit didn't like veggies, so I scrawled it down on my clipboard.
"I'll start with the people who wear white… maybe their roommates first…" I muttered. I walked over to Ganondorf, who was sitting on the couch near the window.
"Excuse me, Ganondorf, could I ask you a few questions?" I asked him.
"Sure, whatever." he growled. I looked at my clipboard at the possible suspects, King Dedede, Pit, Robin, Reflet, Corrin (VERY UNLIKELY), Kamui (VERY UNLIKELY), Sheik, Zelda(UNLIKELY), Nana and Popo (UNLIKELY), Ryu (VERY UNLIKELY), and Bayonetta(UNLIKELY).
"You share a room with Dedede, right?"
"Don't even get started on the penguin!" Ganondorf roared, "He snores like a chainsaw! Last night was probably the first peaceful sleep I got because he wasn't snoring."
"Innnntresting. Do you know when you noticed this?"
"I don't know. Ask Bowser." he growled. I sighed and made a note on my clipboard: Ganondorf didn't hear Dedede snoring last night.
"Hey Bowser!" I called, walking over to the Koopa King. He was talking with Mario and Luigi.
"Fine." he growled, stomping over.
"Is it true that Dedede wasn't snoring last night? If so, when did you notice?" I asked him.
"That penguin? At… ummm… around 4:56 AM." Bowser answered. I nodded slowly and made a note on my clipboard: Dedede stopped snoring at 4:56 AM. Was he out of the room?
"Thank you for your time, Mister Bowser!" I said to him. I looked at my clipboard.
"Hmmmm… Pit, Lucario, ROB, and Jigglypuff are shopping… I should interview the suspects last." I said to myself.
I walked over to Dark Pit, who was leaning on the wall in a corner.
"Could I talk to you for a second?" I asked him.
"Sure. Fine." he said. I looked at the notes on my clipboard.
"Did you hear Pit going anywhere last night?" I asked him. Dark Pit sighed in annoyance. Everyone knew that he and Pit argued constantly.
"I heard him going out of the room in the middle of last night. Woke me from sleep, the idiot." he sighed.
"When was this? Do you remember?" I asked him, scribbling on my clipboard.
"Around 4:58 AM," he said. Innntresting. I made a note on my clipboard: Dark Pit heard Pit going out of his room at around 4:58AM.
"Thanks for your time!" I called over my shoulder to him. I headed over to where most of the fire emblem crew was sitting; in front of the fire.
"Hey Ike! Could I talk to you for a second?" I asked him. He shrugged and strolled over to me.
"What's up?"
"Did anyone in your room go anywhere last night?" I inquired.
"I did. I went to the kitchen for a snack. I got hungry." he answered. I raised my eyebrows.
"When?" I asked, scribbling on my clipboard.
"4:55 AM. Why?" He answered.
"Reasons." I said, making a note on my paper: Ike went to the kitchen for a snack at 4:55 AM. I walked over to where Palutena, Rosalina, Peach, Lucina, and Zelda were standing in the room.
"Hey, Lucina? Palutena?" I asked, "could I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure! What do you need?" Palutena said. I consulted my clipboard for a moment before asking:
"Did either of you hear Reflet go out of the room last night?"
"Why no! But she did wake us all because she fell out of her bunk." Lucina griped. Palutena looked surprised.
"I heard her returning to our room from… somewhere at… 4:10 AM?" Palutena added. I scribbled a note on my paper: Palutena says that Reflet returned to their room at 4:10 AM. Lucina says she fell out of her bunk. Not really relevant, but it could be.
"Thanks for your time." I said to them.
"No problem."
I reviewed the suspect list. Bayonetta almost always ate veggies, so if the culprit left them, it certainly wasn't her. I cross her name out.
"There's nothing else here…" Pi muttered in annoyance. So far, the only clue she and Nayi had found was the vegetables.
"Cheese Balls, let's go help Nyan with interviewing people. It must be a sloooowwww process." Nayi answered.
"We were all so sleepy after movie night that we slept the entire night. I'm sure of it." Samus finished. I sighed and scrawled on my clipboard: Zelda slept the whole night, and crossed her name off the list of suspects.
"Yo sis!" I heard my sister call. I turned around and mentioned for a group huddle.
"Did you guys find anything else?" I whispered.
"Hot Pockets, no! We thought we could help with questioning!" Nayi said enthusiastically. I raised my eyebrows.
"Okay," I said, handing them some pieces of paper, "I need you to interview WiiFit about Corrin, Fox about Kamui, Link about Sheik, Sonic or Cloud about Ryu, also, fit Duck Hunt with a translator and ask them about the Ice Climbers." Pi instantly brightened.
"OOOOHHH! I'll do Link!" she cried, fanning herself. She started to run over to him but I grabbed her by the collar. Why, why, WHY did my sister have to be boy crazy?
"No, Nayi will. YOU interview someone else." I said to her. She looked disappointed. I checked the notes on my clipboard and walked over to where Fox and Falco were lounging..
"Hey guys, can I ask you something?" I asked. They looked at one another and nodded.
"Did Kamui go out of your room at any time during the night?" I asked them.
"Of course not! Why would he?" Fox said. Falco looked at the sky, as he usually does when he's thinking.
"Actually, I heard him come back in sometime last night. At 3:30 AM, I think." Falco said. Fox glared at him, annoyed.
"Thanks for your time." I said, scribbling a note on my paper: Kamui came back into his room at 3:30 AM
"Okay guys, what did you get?" I asked my friends. Pi and Nayi looked at their notes.
"WiiFit says that Corrin did not go out of her room last night," Pi read off her notes, "Duck and Hunt says that Nana was asleep, but Popo was out of bed at 4:57 AM and came back at 4:59 AM."
"Mashmallows. Link told me that Sheik was asleep the whole night," Nayi rattled off, "Sonic says that Ryu was asleep the whole night, but Cloud says that he heard him go out at about 3:48 AM." I sighed.
"Hey guys! We're back!" I heard Pit yell. I turned around to see ROB pushing a trolley heaped with all kinds of food. Lucario and Jigglypuff walked in behind them.
"Could you guys put the food in the kitchen? I'm beat." Pit sighed, falling onto a couch. It was true that food shopping was exhausting. Nayi, Pi, and I had done it myself. I walked over to Pit.
"Hey Pit? Could I ask you a few questions?" I said to him.
"Sure, what do you need?" Pit asked. I checked my clipboard. A lot of the evidence seemed to point to Pit, but a small detail bothered me. Ike said that he went to the kitchen at 4:55 AM, and Kirby found the empty kitchen at 5:00 AM, so the culprit would have to be able to empty the kitchen of all the food in there in exactly five minutes. A nearly impossible feat, unless you had help. Pit was a bit too slow (and small) to be able to do so, so did he have help?
"Dark Pit says that he saw you go out of your room at around 4:58 AM. Where were you going?" I inquired. Pit sat up and glared at Dark Pit across the room.
"Pitoo doesn't know anything. I went out of my room to look at the stars on the roof. Villager said they looked great at this time of year." he sighed. I nodded, writing: Pit says that he left the room to look at the stars on the roof.
"Thanks for your time." I said to him, and walked over to King Dedede.
"Hey, Dedede! Could I ask you a few things?" I asked him. Dedede looked at me warily and waddled around to face me.
"Ganondorf says that you usually snore a lot. He says that last night, you weren't snoring. How did you stop?" I asked him. Dedede's eyes shifted uncomfortably. Hmmm. I wrote: Dedede seems nervous at being interviewed. I also thought of something. Dedede's inhale meant that he could suck many things into him at once. Also interesting. I added: Dedede can use his Inhale move to suck in many things at once.
"I found a way to stop snoring at night. I decided to utilize it, that's all." he growled. I nodded slowly, pretending to be scribbling on my clipboard.
"And when did you decide to do so?" I asked him. He shifted uncomfortably.
"Uh… 3:59 AM." he muttered. I raised my eyebrows and wrote: Dedede says he tried to stop snoring. I don't buy it because 1. Dedede usually doesn't care what others think and 2. He said 3:59 AM, but Bowser says he stopped at 4:56 AM. Innntresting. I caught him in a lie.
"Thanks for your time." I said to him. I headed over to Nana and Popo, who were talking to Toon Link.
"Hey, you two! Could I talk to you?" I said to them.
"WE DIDN'T DO IT WE SWEAR!" they screamed in unison. I raised my eyebrows.
"It's okay. I don't mean to accuse you." I said gently to them. I looked at my clipboard. Nana and Popo seemed pretty legit, but they had two people, and in addition, the white fluff I found appeared to come from one of their parkas.
"Were any of you out of your room last night?" I said to them.
"I was out," Popo said. "At around 4:57 AM. I actually saw King Dedede in the hallway." Very interesting. Popo saw King Dedede in the hallways at 4:57 AM.
"Thank you for your time." I said to them. There was no longer any need to interview anyone else. This was easy!
So, have you figured it out? Who is responsible for stealing all the food in the kitchen? Remember, the suspects are: King Dedede, Pit, Robin, Reflet, Corrin (VERY UNLIKELY), Kamui (VERY UNLIKELY), Sheik, Zelda(UNLIKELY), Nana and Popo (UNLIKELY), Ryu (VERY UNLIKELY), and Bayonetta(UNLIKELY).

-Popo saw King Dedede in the hallways at 4:57 AM.
So, who is it? Have you figured it out? Here we go…
"May I have you attention please?" I said through a megaphone. Nayi, Pi, and I were standing on a balcony above the lounge. The Smashers looked up at us expectantly. Kirby especially.
"I've gathered enough evidence to be able to pinpoint the culprit." I announced. The Smashers murmured to one another excitedly. Master Hand and Crazy Hand were in the lounge as well. I took a deep breath and said…
"The culprit is…" You could cut the tension in the lounge with a knife.
"King Dedede." I finished. There was a collective gasp in the room. Master hand swooped in and glared at King Dedede.
"Is this true?" he said angrily. King Dedede looked very guilty.
"I say, it… yes, it is true." he finished shamefacedly. I nodded slowly. My suspicions were correct.
"I say, how did you do that?" Dedede said to us. I smiled and held up the clipboard.
"You said that you tried to stop snoring at 3:59AM, but Bowser says you stopped at 4:59AM." I said slowly.
"Popo says he saw you in the hallways at 4:57AM. You said you were in your room the whole day." Nayi added.
"Nyan told us that you were also nervous while being interviewed. Also, you can use your Inhale move to suck in a lot of things at once. Therefore, you could empty the kitchen very quickly." Pi said.
"And finally, you really hate veggies. You never eat any at any meals. Explains why you're so fat." I smirked. Dedede glared at me.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand punished him by making him do cleaning duty for five weeks. Kirby was very happy, and peace was restored to Smash Mansion.
