No Air!

Mega Man hopped back into the water after dealing with some enemies as he walked forward and saw that he was near the base. "Alright, here we go." He said and then he walked in.

"Welcome, Mega Man, to your demise!"

"Let's get this over with, Bubble Man!"

"With pleasu-"

Suddenly, the door opened up as the two turned to see Neptune swimming in and surrounded by a bubble. "Phew! Sorry I'm late."

"…What took you so long?" Mega Man asked.

"Me and water have a… complicated relationship." Neptune muttered.

"I'm not sure what you mean by that, but let's start our battle!" Bubble Man said as they proceeded to battle with Mega Man throwing Metal Blades at him but Bubble Man quickly hopped over to Neptune.

"Ah!" Neptune yelped and tried to punch him, but Bubble Man dodged it.

"So sluggish!" He said, unleashing his bubble attack on Neptune.

"Ha! Your bubbles are no match for this bubb-" His bubble shield popped. "blub…" Neptune paled as he tried to swim… but since the poor man couldn't swim… well…

"Wait, what?" Bubble Man blinked.

"Oh… for the love of…" Mega Man facepalmed.

"He should have stayed out of this if he can't swim." Bubble Man grumbled as he opened the door and swam Neptune to safety on a platform and then went back into the arena. "Alright, let's resume our battle!"

"Right!" Mega Man nodded.

Popularity Wins

Pearl and Marina were out on the street, opening up two lemonade states. Pearl with no sugar, and Marina with sugar… and to Pearl's surprise, all the Inklings went to Marina's stand. "Eh?" Pearl wondered, scratching her head.

The next day, Pearl and Marina went out for some cake and ice cream and as they were chatting, the Inklings fawned over to Marina while Pearl was left alone. "Grr…!"

The following night, Pearl and Marina decided to go to a premiere movie night and Pearl was the first one to step out of the limo and out on the red carpet, and then there was a flash of light as she waved over and smiled at the camera… only to realize that they were all taking pictures of Marina who did some cute poses, while Pearl's eye started to twitch. "Aaaargh!"

The next day…

"Don't get cooked: Stay off the hook!" Both of the girls exclaimed as they both walked outside, and right on cue, Marina was surrounded by fans and asking for autographs while poor Pearl was left alone.

"SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?!" Pearl screamed.

Spicy Chili Dog

"Hehehehe!" Toon Link giggled mischievously, as he had bought a chili dog and then he walked over to the fridge and proceeded to put something in it and then he put it on the plate.

"Oh Soooooniiiiiiic~!" He called out to him, and then Sonic quickly showed up.

"Yo, you need something?"

"I bought this for you." He said, motioning over to the chili dog.

"Oooh! Thanks, pal!" He said as he grabbed it and scarfed it down. "Mmm! Delicious!" He said… and then his face went red. "…Hot! Hot! Hot! HOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" He screamed as he took off running, while Ruby walked over to him.

"What'd you put in that chili dog?" She asked.

"Superspicy Curry." Toon Link casually said, causing Ruby to sweatdrop.

"You… are evil."

"I know!"

"IT BUUUUUUUUUUUURNS!"

Bombs Away!

A Bowser Head was screwed on to some kind of machine, and Roman, Nyx, Luigi and Robin walked up to it.

"So, what exactly are we doing here?" Roman asked.

"Simple! You press down a lever and hope you don't blow yourself up!" The Toad referee said. "If you press the wrong one… then it's goodbye!"

"Sounds simple enough." Nyx said.

START!

"Alright, I'm gonna show you guys how it's done!" Roman smirked as he walked up as he looked around and decided to lower the yellow lever as he turned around… only to see Bowser's eyes counting down. "WHAT?!"

"It's been nice knowing you." Luigi said.

"Oh geez, oh geez!" Roman exclaimed as he tried to run, but he noticed that the gates were blocking his way. "Oh, son of a-"

BOOM!

"…This is unreal." Robin said as Nyx was the next to go up after another head was screwed on as she went for the red one and pushed it… and then she saw smoke coming out of the nostrils.

"Phew." She sighed with relief as Luigi was the next to go up as he went for the white one, holding his breath… and then it started to count down.

"Oh… mama mia…" Luigi groaned… aaand then it blew up and he was launched away.

Alright, pressure's on. Robin thought as he walked forward as he rubbed his chin in thought. Three left… and I imagine that the pink one is the trigger, so… He went over to the green one and pressed it, and smoke came out of Bowser's nostrils. "Good luck."

"Yeah, I know." Nyx nodded as she walked up and looked at the yellow and the pink one as she walked over to the yellow one, held her breath and lowered it… and then smoke came out of the nostrils as the thing reset.

Alright… let's see… that was pure luck, and I doubt that it'd work the same way again, so perhaps I should go for the pink one. He thought as he walked over and pressed it, and when he turned… it started counting down. "WHAT?!"

"Huh, I didn't think I'd win this one." Nyx said. "Sayonara." She said, and cue the explosion that sent Robin flying.

FINISH!

"Congratulations, Nyx!" Toad called out.

"Yeah… uh… should we call Dr. Mario for those three?"

"Eh, they'll be fine."

Nyx sighed. "If you say so."

No characters were harmed in the making of Bowser's Big Blast.

...Seriously though, how does anyone survive the shenanigans in Mario Party?
