Mario Total Drama Island

Episode 3

Last time on Mario Total Drama Island,

The two teams went cliff diving. Peach and Zelda were arguing so Daisy threw them off. Then they had to build a hot tub for me and Blue Toad. The Sweet Peaches were the winners and it was the poor-tempered Midbus who had to leave after a slight disagreement with Corrin turned huge. Who will leave next? Where will I have chortles go from here? Find out now on Mario Total Drama Island!

Yellow Toad was outside the cabins where the contestants were sleeping. He picked up a megaphone and shouted into it "Good morning everyone!" This was followed with several complaints and groans.

"Why are you waking us up at this hour?" Toadette asked.

"Because it's time for all of you to do today's challenge!" Blue Toad replied. "But first, is everyone awake?"

"No, Wario is still asleep" Waluigi said. "That guy can sleep through anything. Well, except food."

Everyone on the Sweet Peaches team worked together to drag Wario out of the cabin.

"What even is the challenge?" Yoshi asked.

"The challenge is done in two parts. We got a welcoming buffet for you guys but we made a mistake and got it delivered to the other side of the island. The first part is to find it, then you all get to have lunch." Yellow Toad explained.

Wario snapped wide awake to the sound of food. Peach just sighed at his antics.

"Ready, Set, Go!" Blue Toad shouted as all twenty-one contestants went running.

In the woods,

Zelda had slowed to walking, to catch her breath. It was a pleasant morning. She tripped over something and fell into a puddle. "Ow!" She screamed. She got up to find Wario collapsed.

"Oops, sorry Zelda. I just can't run very well." said Wario.

"Whatever..." said Zelda as she continued heading onwards.

Peach walked through just behind. "Get up Wario, you lethargic slob!" She yelled.

(Confessional)

Wario- I've only ever seen one side of Peach, and I just learned she's really scary when mad!

Peach- Maybe I was a bit harsh on the guy, but we need to win.

On the other side of the island,

Aqua, Yoshi, Daisy, Corrin, Toadette and somehow Toadsworth were the first six to arrive.

"Yes! First to arrive!" Yoshi exclaimed.

Rosalina was next to come through with Link and Fawful.

"Fawful is not made for the running either." Fawful said.

Mario and Luigi arrived next followed by Waluigi, Bowser and Donkey Kong.

"Alright! We made it!" Luigi said with delight.

"That we did, little bro." Mario replied and he gave Luigi a pat on the back.

"Now we just need Peach, Zelda and Wario." Bowser added.

Bowser Jr. and Cackletta walked into the area, followed by Diddy Kong.

"We're all here!" Bowser Jr. exclaimed. "We won!"

"No, Kylie isn't here yet." Toadette pointed out.

Meanwhile in the woods,

Kylie was taking pictures of the wildlife on the island.

"Wow, that's a great bird! Ooh! Look at that rabbit! Wow, that's a big bear!" Kylie said, taking pictures of all the animals she could see. She paused. "Wait, a bear?" She said before running away screaming.

Back at the other side of the island,

Zelda was carrying Wario towards the others with great difficulty, with Peach helping her.

"Come on we're almost there!" Peach said. "We're going to win again! I'm so proud of my team!"

(Confessional)

Zelda- That girl switches moods faster than you can say 'mood swing'

Aqua- Who is she and what has she done with Peach?

Mario- That's the Peach I know! Kind and caring!

As the girls were crossing the finish line, Kylie came out of the woods, still screaming and they all crossed at the same time.

"Well, the first challenge is a tie. Guess that means there is no advantage to the second part." Yellow Toad said. "But of course first, you can all have a nice meal."

Ten minutes later,

Everyone was finished, and all were quite pleased.

"Well, that's enough break time, time for the second part of the challenge!" said Blue Toad.

"Which is?" Daisy asked.

"You need to now stay awake for as long as you can. Last contestant awake wins." explained Yellow Toad.

"So the running, and the big meal was all set to make us more tired?" Cackletta asked.

"Correct." Yellow Toad answered.

"Well, I'm grateful for the food at least." said Diddy Kong.

"This is so easy, I could do it in my sleep!" said Wario.

"Don't you dare." Zelda replied.

12 hours in,

Toadette was sitting on a log when she yawned. "I don't know if I can do this!" she exclaimed.

"I have... sleepiness..." Fawful said as he closed his eyes.

"I can't do it. I'm so tired, I can't feel anything!" Toadette yelled before falling to the floor.

"Well, I have chortles is already down two members and Sweet Peaches show no sign of going down anytime soon." Yellow Toad said, evaluating the situation.

"Oh no, we're losing again!" Corrin exclaimed.

"Wario, I had a great idea!" said Waluigi.

"I wanna hear it." Wario replied.

Waluigi thought. "So what if I jumped out of these bushes and yelled really loud?" he asked.

Wario laughed. "Whoever is on the other side will be really surprised!" he said.

Waluigi got into position. He jumped through and yelled. Mario was on the other side. Mario screamed in shock and accidentally punched Waluigi, knocking him out.

"Oops, sorry Waluigi." Mario said.

Luigi was sitting with Daisy. "The stars look really nice tonight, don't you think?" he asked.

"Yeah, they're really pretty." she replied. "Hold on, are you trying to go out with me?" she asked.

"Would you?" Luigi asked hopefully.

"Sure, you're a nice guy." Daisy said.

Luigi cheered, and Mario gave him a thumbs-up for finally asking Daisy out.

(Confessional)

Luigi- (squealing in delight)

Yoshi and Aqua were nearby, watching. They applauded.

"I think they're a great couple." Yoshi said.

"Yeah, I hope it goes well for them." Aqua added.

"Well Zelda, it seems a lot of people are building relationships to help them stay awake." Peach said, looking at Daisy and Luigi hugging. "We don't have to be friends, but I'm sorry for calling you a loud-mouthed, no-good idiot."

"Oh, thank you Peach. You know, it's because of you that we tied the first part. I could never have carried Wario alone." Zelda replied. "I've been so rude to you throughout our time here."

"Truce?" Peach asked.

"Truce." Zelda replied.

(Confessional)

Peach- There we go, now Zelda isn't against me, I am in less trouble if we lose. I don't like making friends just to advance myself through this game, but I think I'm a pretty big target along with Wario.

Luigi- (still squealing in delight)

Bowser opened the door as he couldn't take Luigi squealing. "You about done in there?" he asked.

"Yes..." Luigi replied.

24 hours in,

Corrin was jogging on the spot to keep herself awake, but she exhausted herself by doing so and fell over.

"It's about nap time isn't it? Where's the princess? If that Bowser fellow has got to her I'll give him a beating especially if he tries kidnapping her I just couldn't take it-" Toadsworth was rambling before passing out.

"Does he usually do that when he's tired?" Zelda asked.

"Unfortunately yes." Peach answered.

"Eyeh heh ugh..." Cackletta said half-heartedly as she started laughing at Toadsworth but then passed out.

"No! We're going to lose!" Bowser Jr. yelled. "Nobody else fall asleep!"

Rosalina fell asleep.

"ARGH!" Bowser Jr. yelled.

"Don't worry, I'm still wide awake!" Diddy Kong said to reassure Bowser Jr..

"Hey, I have an idea that will let us win." Mario said to Peach as he got out a pot of grey powder.

"What is that?" Peach asked. "Is it-"

"Sleeping powder? Yes." Mario answered. "I'm going to throw it at the other team."

He took a handful out and got ready to throw when Peach paused.

"Hold on Mario, maybe you should wait- never mind." Peach said as Mario threw the powder.

Just as Peach was about to warn, the wind picked up, blowing sleeping powder all over the Sweet Peaches, causing all eleven of them to fall asleep.

"Oh no." Mario said in realisation.

"Mario you unobservant son of a-" Bowser started before he fell asleep.

"There we go! All of the Peaches are down, so the Chortles win!" announced Blue Toad.

Link, Kylie, Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr. cheered in delight at their victory.

"Now get some sleep. You must all be smashed." Yellow Toad said bluntly.

The next morning,

"Good morning Sweet Peaches, you need to send someone packing!" Blue Toad shouted into their cabin.

(Confessional)

Bowser- Today's vote is easy. Mario made us lose!

Luigi- Big Bro is in trouble, but Peach has been a bad leader so maybe I can convince people to vote her instead.

Campfire ceremony

Yellow Toad looked at the losing team. "You were doing so well. What happened?"

"Mario happened." Bowser answered.

"Anyway there will be ten of you left after this. I have ten mushrooms for those who are safe. Whoever doesn't get one must leave through the Portal of Losers and join Midbus."

"But is it safe?" Toadsworth yelled from afar.

"No-one cares Toadsworth!" Yellow Toad yelled back. "Anyway, Zelda, Yoshi, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Aqua, Luigi, Daisy and Bowser are safe for tonight." Blue Toad threw mushrooms to safe people.

All of the safe contestants sighed with relief.

"Peach, Mario, this is the final mushroom. Whoever doesn't get this mushroom must leave and they can never come back."

"Ever?" Aqua asked.

"Ever." Yellow Toad said sternly.

Peach didn't look too worried.

Mario sighed. "Just give it to Peach. She deserves it."

Yellow Toad paused. "Eh, I suppose."

Blue Toad gave it to Peach. "You got the most votes anyway." he added.

"Oh." Mario replied.

Luigi broke into tears "Mario! No! Why? Why did this have to happen?"

Mario gave his brother a pat on the back. "It's okay Luigi, I may have to go, but you have Daisy now. She loves you. Remember that I'm rooting for you and always remember to listen to your heart." he said as he walked into the portal.

"MARIO!" Luigi yelled.

Daisy ran over and hugged him. "I'm not too good at comforting. Am I doing okay?"
