AN: These are so fun to write, so I wrote more! Thank you all for your support, and, as always, enjoy.

Bowser:

Beat: "Whoa, man. You're fightin' freaking Bowser!"

Neku: "(Thanks for reminding me...)"

Beat: "Dude, this ain't good! If you ain't careful, yous' gonna end up golden brown, dawg!"

Shiki: "He's right, Neku! One wrong move could get you destroyed!"

Neku: "(And, thanks for the encouragement, you guys...)"

Neku: "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Don't you guys have any advice?"

Beat: "Don' get eaten."

Shiki: "I'd just jump off the side of the stage, if I were you..."

Neku: "Guys!"

Beat: "Can't blame 'er, man."

Neku: "Whatever. I have to fight this guy for the Tournament, I have no choice!"

Shiki: "B-but he's the KING of Koopas! He has his own army and like 97 lava-filled castles and that collar he's wearing's probably a D.I.B. original!"

Neku: "(Huh. You'd think with all those resources, he'd actually be successful in kidnapping ONE girl...)

Beat: "Shiki's right, Phones! You'd better watch yo'self."

Neku: "Maybe instead of warning me 100 times, you could...I don't know...tell me how to win? Just a thought."

Shiki: "R-right! Uhm, with those huge fists he has, even the simplest of his attacks can send you flying! Be careful of his flame breath, too!"

Beat: "Though, lookin' at him, he don' seem too fast, man."

Shiki: "Yeah. That shell isn't exactly very liberating. Wonder if he's ever considered swapping the scales for linen..."

Neku: "(I seriously doubt he'd ever do that...)

Beat: "Guess yous' just finna hafta' outspeed him, Phones!"

Neku: "Rrrgh...looks like it."

Shiki: "Just keep your distance and use your Force Rounds until you see an opening!"

Neku: "Right!"

Dr. Mario:

Rhyme: "Wow! I didn't know Mario had a PHD!"

Neku: "(I don't think randomly putting on a lab coat qualifies as having a PHD...)"

Joshua: "Indeed he does. He's been a licensed M.D. since 1990."

Neku: "...Seriously?"

Rhyme: "Whoa.. You learn something new every day..."

Neku: "So...he's a plumber...AND a doctor?"

Rhyme: "And a princess-saver!"

Joshua: "And excellent at soccer, tennis, basketball, hosting parties, and kart-racing. He's also no slouch in the space-travel department."

Neku: "(I...is this guy human?)"

Neku: "Why'd he even become a doctor in the first place?"

Joshua: "I would assume it keeps him busy between kidnappings."

Rhyme: "Or maybe he has a passion for medical research!"

Neku: "(Or maybe being a plumber was gross and didn't pay anything. I think I'm pretty much spot-on here...)"

Neku: "Alright, whatever. Why should I care if the guy's suddenly a doctor?"

Joshua: "With that lab coat on, he's got access to a host of new abilities."

Neku: "...Seriously?"

Joshua: "Clothes make a man, I suppose."

Neku: "(Sounds like something Shiki would say...)"

Joshua: "At any rate, Dr Mario's game to launch a barrage of pills your way at any moment."

Neku: "Wait...what?"

Rhyme: "Uhm...pills?"

Joshua: "They're surprisingly effective weapons."

Rhyme: "Guess they're used for fighting MORE than just diseases."

Neku: "(Pills, seriously? This tournament keeps getting weirder and weirder.)"

Joshua: "You'll also need to watch out for his signature Mario-Tornado technique, or your damage percentage will be as high as the resulting medical bill."

Neku: "(Always so reassuring, Joshua...)"

Joshua: "Though, I suppose minding your distance until you've spotted an opening should suffice for you. Doctors aren't typically known for bringing pain."

Neku: "Except when they do that weird throat-test thing..."

Rhyme: "Oh, I know exactly what you mean! I always think they're going to drop the stick down my throat!"

Neku: "(Amen to that, sister.)"

Rhyme: "I guess pain's just a part of the healing process, sometimes."

Joshua: "One cannot feel happiness without first experiencing pain, and all that."

Nekku: "(When did they start getting all philosophical on me? I'm freaking fighting a plumber in a lab coat!)"

Rosalina & Luma:

Neku: "Hey, Shiki. Looks like you're not the only one who carries a stuffed animal around all day."

Shiki: "Hey I resent th-Whoa! You're right! She fights by controlling a plushie with psychokinesis just like me!"

Shiki: "And would you look at the stitching on that cute little guy! It's...seemless! Oh my gosh, Neku! You have to ask her how she did it!"

Neku: "If you didn't notice, she's trying to kill me."

Rhyme: "Uhm...guys. I don't think that's a stuffed animal."

Neku: "Huh?"

Rhyme: "Well, I know that lady. Her name is Rosalina, and that star with her is a Luma."

Shiki: "Luma?"

Rhyme: "Yeah. They may look cute, but when they're all grown up, they change into full blown planets!"

Neku: "What the-?"

Shiki: "They ch-chang-"

Rhyme: "It's how new galaxies are formed. Rosalina travels with the Luma while they look for a place to live when they grow up."

Neku: "(That little thing is gonna be a whole planet one day?)"

Neku: "(Wait a minute! I'M literally beating the crap out of a FUTURE PLANET?"

Shiki: "H-how do you know this, Rhyme?"

Rhyme: "Lots of Super Mario Galaxy, with my brother. That's where Rosalina and the Luma debuted."

Neku: "Does she normally use these things as sentient shields?"

Rhyme: "Uhm...I wouldn't exactly describe it like that...Rosalina is the adoptive mother of all Luma. She cares for and watches over not only them, but all of the cosmos. Any of them would be happy to fight for her."

Neku: "The cosmos?"

Rhyme: "Yup. She's sort of the guardian of the entire galaxy."

Neku: "(...Why is this tournament full of all-powerful beings?)"

Neku: "T-then, how am I supposed to fight this chick?"

Rhyme: "When there's a will, there's a way!"

Neku: "(A way to get the crap kicked out of me, maybe...)"

Shiki: "Well, I can't fight without Mr Mew. Maybe if you try getting rid of Luma, then Rosalina won't be as tough!"

Neku: "Huh. Guess I'll try that."

Rhyme: "She definetley seems the sort who'd be reluctant to resort to violence..."

Shiki: "Oh, I know, right? Something about her is so calming!"

Rhyme: "Sure is!"

Shiki: "Makes me just wanna sit back and have her read me a storybook, or something."

Neku: "(Seriously? I'm in the middle of a fight here! It's not story time!)"

Neku: "(Though, something tells me this Rosalina lady'd be pretty good at something like that...)"

Bowser Jr:

Beat: "Ay, Phones! You know who 'dat punk is?"

Neku: "Some kind of laughably adorable version of Bowser?"

Beat: "Thas' his son, man! He gon' be King o' the Koopas one day."

Neku: "(That shrimp doesn't look like he could rule a dollhouse.)"

Neku: "So? He's just a kid."

Rhyme: "I wouldn't count him out just yet, Neku. Bowser Jr.'s one tough customer."

Neku: "Bowser Juinor? Seriously?"

Rhyme: "Someone has to carry on the family name."

Neku: "(Seems kinda narcissistic to me...)"

Beat: "And Bowsa' Juina' may look like some wimpy lil' punk, but he's actually fricking vicsous, dawg!"

Neku: "Hehe...do you expect me to believe that?"

Beat: "I'm serious, man!"

Neku: "How can a thing that rides in a clown car be considered remotely vicsous?"

Beat: "Don'chu be trashin' his dope ride, man!"

Neku: "(Dope ride...?)"

Rhyme: "That clown car is actually incredibly versatile! It's got compartments for a whole bunch of different weapons and artillery!''

Neku: "A-artillery? Like what?"

Rhyme: "...forks...tongues...robotic minature koopas..."

Neku: "(Uhm, was whoever picked out these weapons high?)"

Rhyme: "Oh! There's some razor blades in there too, and it can launch cannonballs!"

Neku: "(...nevermind...)

Beat: "That dope clown car's unpredictable, man! If you don' watch his moves, you done."

Neku: "Alright. So maybe the little squirt's not a complete wimp. What can I do to take 'em down?"

Rhyme: "Play it safe and look for an opening through his projectiles. You can't rush just straight for him; haste makes waste."

Beat: "Keep yo' guard up there, Phones!"

Neku: "Right!"

Neku: "(...)"

Neku: "(...I'm getting a weird sense of deja vu, here...)"

Koopalings:

Neku: "What the heck is that weird thing?"

Beat: "Thas' a Koopalin', man!"

Rhyme: "The Koopalings are Bowser's children. Guess you can see the family resemblance."

Neku: "I'll say."

Neku: "Though, I never begged Bowser the type to have kids..."

Rhyme: "I bet he's got a secret soft spot for them all..."

Beat: "Word, dawg! Why else would he deck 'em all out with those dope clown cars?"

Neku: "(I wouldn't call THOSE things dope...)"

Neku: "Speaking of which, what the heck does that freaky car even do?"

Rhyme: "It's actually quite versatile! It's got compartments for all sorts of different weapons!"

Neku: "Seriously?!"

Rhyme: "Yup! It's got a built-in fork! And even it's own self-destruct mechanism!"

Neku: "(So much for weapons...)"

Rhyme: "Oh! And it can shoot cannonballs! I also hear these models come equipped with hidden blades."

Neku: "(...that escalated quickly...)

Beat: "Those things musta' been expensive, man!"

Rhyme: "And he got them for all of his kids..."

Neku: "Just how many kids does Bowser HAVE exactly."

Beat: "Like, a metric ton, man!"

Neku: "(...wasn't expecting that...)"

Rhyme: "The more the merrier!"

Beat: "Must be weird, livin' in that household."

Rhyme: "I don't know. I really like big families."

Neku: "(Seems like a hassle to me.)"

Neku: "So, what can I do to take these weirdos down?"

Rhyme: "Keep your distance and wait for an opening! Haste makes waste!"

Neku: "Right!"

Neku: "(...wow, deja vu again...)"
