Thanks so much for all the positive reviews! Oh, yeah, I forgot to give a shout out to Smart One for correctly guessing that the neutral would win. Aweshum! *thumbs up and flashy grin* But, in any case, here's the reunion. I'll try for it to be as nerve-wracking as possible. ;)
Oh, and I'll just copypaste the Notepad document I wrote after finishing chapter one, entailing all the roles and actions during the night, as well all the eliminations;
Roles in Mafia: Mario;
Town:
Mario
Luigi - He can "scan" one player every night, or, in other words, look at the profile they were given before starting the game. Exceptions are made based on abilities.
Peach - Only twice in the entire game, she can eliminate one player at night. If a player she eliminates is a townie, she is eliminated as well.
Yoshi
Bowser
Toadette
Wario - He cannot be lynched.
Waluigi - He can protect one player from being eliminated every night.
Rawk Hawk
Doopliss - He can copy any ability he chooses for one night. He cannot copy an ability he has already copied, and cannot copy any mafia.
Dimentio - If he is scanned, he comes back as a mafia with no abilities. He is not aware of this.
O'Chunks
Kalmar - He has the same ability as Luigi. What he does not know is that his results will be the opposite of the truth. However, he will also be given the true profiles of Toad, Dimentio, and Dry Bones if he scans any of them.
Neutral:
Dry Bones - He can eliminate one player on even-numbered nights. - If he is scanned, he comes back as a townie with no abilities.
Mafia: - They eliminate one player every night. They must discuss their decision and all agree on it.
Toad - He is responsible for telling Grubba the mafia's eliminations. - If he is scanned, he comes back as a townie with no abilities.
Daisy
Rosalina - She can scan one player on even-numbered nights. The scan will automatically fail if she targets a townie with no abilities.
Watt - She can paralyze one player every night, making them unable to use abilities or vote the following day.
Bowser Jr.
Chuck Quizno
Order of Events:
Day 1: Toadette is lynched.
Night 1: The mafia eliminates Wario. Watt paralyzes Mario. Luigi and Kalmar both scan Dimentio.
Day 2: Watt is lynched.
Night 2: Dimentio is targeted for elimination by the mafia, but is protected by Waluigi, and so theychoose Mario instead. Luigi scans Toad, and Kalmar scans Daisy (which, if switched around, would be
great for the town). Rosalina scans Kalmar. Dry Bones eliminates Rawk Hawk.
Day 3: O'Chunks is lynched.
Night 3: Kalmar is eliminated by the mafia. Peach eliminates Daisy. Doopliss copies Luigi's ability, and scans Bowser Jr. Luigi scans Waluigi. Waluigi protects Doopliss, but Doopliss is not targeted.
Day 4: Waluigi is lynched.
Night 4: Dimentio is eliminated by the mafia. Dry Bones eliminates Chuck Quizno. Peach eliminates Yoshi, and so is eliminated herself. Rosalina scans Bowser, and so her scan fails. Luigi scans Rosalina.
Day 5: Bowser Jr. is lynched.
Night 5: Doopliss is eliminated by the mafia. Doopliss copies Kalmar's ability before this, and scans Toad; he slips a note under Bowser's door, a clue to Toad's identity. Luigi scans Bowser.
Day 6: Toad is lynched.
Night 6: Luigi is eliminated by the mafia. Dry Bones eliminates Rosalina, thus eliminating all the mafia.
Day 7: Due to the fact that he fulfilled his win condition and made it to the final two, Dry Bones wins the game.
NEUTRAL WINS
2nd: Town
3rd: Mafia
"Ha ha! Here we are at the Mafia: Mario reunion show, ladies and gentlemen!" Grubba shouted, in his signature twangy Southern accent. The crowd cheered and whooped, clapping like crazy as Grubba waved to them and flashed cheesy grins, walking forward to the twenty contestants as he did so.
"All twenty contestants have returned to the Twilight Mansion to discuss their actions in the game, and meet up and talk about the game's events yet again!" Grubba shouted, gathering even louder cheers from the crowd. "Aw, yeah, y'all! Make some noise!" The fancily decorated room became even louder, if that was possible.
"Ha ha! I love y'all! We got a great crowd out here tonight!" Grubba said happily, waving to a few of his Clubba brothers who were assembled on the first row, eating popcorn and watching carefully.
"Hee hee! Well, the people who are here wanna see the real meat of the show, so let's get right to it," said Grubba officially. "Now, each contestant has gotten to read the actions that happened every night, and you viewers got to as well, before the official show. Now, we'll be talkin' 'bout those! So, let's start with the neutral player, and our winner, Dry Bones!" Grubba waddled over to the skeleton Koopa, as he winked at a few female Koopas in the crowd who were squealing for him.
"So, how ya doin', champ?" Grubba asked, grinning.
"I'm doing well. The prize money, 250,000 coins, was really generous, and I'm really grateful." Dry Bones informed Grubba. "I only have one question to ask another player." Dry Bones flipped his head around and looked up at Peach, in the row behind him. "What possessed you to eliminate YOSHI?"
"He was bandwagoning on votes and not giving much input." Peach replied, trying to be bubbly and joyful like usual, but ultimately failing. "I am disappointed that I chose incorrectly there, since that cost me the whole game, but I don't really regret the decision. I was rightfully suspicious of him."
"Other townies were doing the same thing!" Yoshi pointed out. "We were just kind of clueless and had to follow a plan that sounded good!"
"I'm fine with going along with a good plan, but you didn't give all that much input on the situation." Peach returned. "That was kind of strange to me. You seemed like a mafia searching for an easy way out."
"Well…I guess that's true." Yoshi sighed, falling back in his chair and groaning.
"Well, anything else to say, Dry Bones?" Grubba asked, grinning toothily. "You've accumulated plenty of fans! They wanna hear what you've got!" The same girls Dry Bones had winked to earlier hollered crazily, waving signs and pictures.
"Well…I do want to thank my fans and all, and…uh…well, I don't have any parents, so I guess that's it." Dry Bones said nonchalantly. Grubba nodded contently and took a step to the left to face Bowser, who was looking at the ground grumpily.
"So! Bowser." Grubba began. "You have plenty of fans, too! You busted Toad on day 6, and you're the runner-up. You stayed under the radar the whole game and you weren't suspected, which got you this far! Pat yerself on the back!"
"Pfff. I didn't win. That stupid pile of dusty bones did." Bowser muttered, his face mashed up against his left palm. Grubba shook his head and sighed. "Well, do you have any questions for the other players?"
"Yes, actually! Yes, I do!" Bowser said angrily, turning to Rosalina, who was in the chair right beside him. "Why didn't you kill ME on night 6? I would have rather seen the green guy suffer this kind of humiliation!"
"My name is Luigiiiiiii!" Luigi whined, waving his clenched fists.
"Well…I thought Luigi was the neutral, actually." Rosalina said embarrassedly, shrinking at Bowser's awful breath and rage-filled face. "His results seemed…made up. That's the best word for it."
"You mean his results seemed like total crap?" Mario asked sarcastically. "Because that's what I've been thinking, too."
"Hey! Shut up, bro!" Luigi shouted, pointing at his brother. "And, okay, my scans didn't turn out perfectly. That doesn't mean they were TOTAL CRAP!"
"They were completely unhelpful." Dry Bones stated. "Doopliss's one scan was better for us than all of yours." Luigi fainted anime-style in response to this.
"Well, any questions, Luigi, Rosalina?" Grubba asked, looking at both of them as he said their names. Rosalina shook her head, and Luigi was about to speak when Dry Bones cut in.
"Wait, I do have another question." Dry Bones informed Grubba. "I just want to know how the plan for Rosalina to claim to be neutral came about."
"I came up with that." Toad replied. "We were short on ideas to keep ourselves clean, so I told Rosalina to claim neutral, and make it convincing. She managed to do that, as everyone but Dry Bones, the actual neutral player, was more or less convinced that she was who she said she was."
"Hmm. Okay, then." Dry Bones said simply. "I have no more questions."
"A'right, then let's mosey on over toooo…Toad!" Grubba shouted, and Toad smiled weakly at the host. "So, Toad. You were the mafia's mastermind; you came up with, more or less, all the plans. How does it feel to be lynched because you were found out by a half-wit?"
"Heyyyyy! I'm not a half-wit!" Bowser claimed, grumbling angrily.
"Take an IQ test sometime, worms-for-brains." Daisy said snarkily, making Bowser back down and simply mumble quietly to himself.
"Anyway…in response to your question, I do feel a little foolish, being outwitted by BOWSER, of all people." Toad chuckled. "But, I guess it's fine. I mean, it was just a game. Not too big a deal."
"The prize was 250,000 coins. It's not a big deal?" Waluigi asked incredulously.
"250,000 COINS?" Toad asked, turning around and staring at Waluigi in disbelief. "You gotta be freakin' kidding me! My flyer said it was 250 coins!"
"Oh! Sorry 'bout that." Grubba said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head and grinning. "That was the last flyer we printed, and we were running low on ink…" Toad's eye twitched and bugged out as he gaped at the floor, Grubba trying to ignore the mushroom-topped anomaly as he turned to Doopliss.
"So, Doopliss." Grubba said nervously, avoiding Toad's angry gaze. "You were, essentially, the crux of Toad's lynch rather than Luigi's. Your note gave Bowser the final piece of the puzzle, so you've obviously gained plenty of fans. How did you do that?"
"I was just gonna copy Luigi again, but then I remembered his scan had come back with Toad as a townie, so I remembered the specifics of Kalmar's ability and copied him." Doopliss answered, playing with a stick that was in his hands. "When I saw that he had a specific ability, I knew the scan was for real; I went to bed, but Grubba woke me up, like, five minutes later and told me the mafia had night killed me. I stole a pen and paper from his back pocket and wrote that note to Bowser. Then I left."
"You…stole paper from me?" Grubba asked in surprise. "Isn't stealing…kinda...you know...illegal?"
"Eh." Doopliss replied, shrugging. Grubba shook his head, dropping the subject. "Well, do you have any questions for the other contestants?"
"I just wanna know why you protected me on night three." Doopliss said quizzically, turning to and addressing Waluigi, who was in the row behind him.
"You were acting weird, and I thought the mafia might be thinking like me and would target you." Waluigi answered, rubbing his pointy chin thoughtfully. "I thought you were the neutral, actually, so I hoped that if I protected you from a night kill then maybe you would lean towards the town."
"Eh? You just guessed?" Doopliss asked incredulously. "That's dumb." Waluigi's face became incredibly angry and his mustache shook and flared with fury.
"Shut up, you! I was doing you a favor!" Waluigi retorted, scowling. "You should be thanking me for even CONSIDERING the IDEA of helping you out, you weird, stupid, total retard! Grah grah grah grah grah grah grah grah!" Waluigi raved and ranted, waving his fists around madly.
"Yeah, that's great, Waluigi. We'll count that as your time to talk." Grubba said, dismissing the purple-garbed man. "Now, moving on to Bowser Jr….was it a shock when you were lynched?"
"Yeah, of course!" Bowser Jr. spat back. "My own dad turned on me…it was awful!"
"We've made up since then." Bowser said cheerfully, changing moods.
"…I guess." Jr. muttered, turning from the Koopa King and crossing his arms.
"Well, do you have any ques-"
"No, stupid! I have no questions! I know everything that I need to know!" Bowser Jr. interrupted, leaning forward threateningly. "Now stop talking to me! I don't like you! You're a baaaaaad man!"
"Okay, okay." Grubba said sheepishly, going over to Peach. "Peach, you already explained why you chose to eliminate Yoshi. But how did you feel when you realized that you had just eliminated yourself?"
"Speechless." Peach said simply. "It was a pretty big shock; I was almost certain on Yoshi being mafia. I guess I should learn not to be so arrogant in these kinds of games now, since that might have been my downfall. I was getting pretty cocky about my ability."
"Wise words." Grubba said in satisfaction, as he stepped over to Yoshi. "Yoshi, how do you feel about getting eliminated by another townie, of all people?"
"I thought Peach was really, really stupid for making that decision at first, but I've gotten over that now." Yoshi replied. "Now I'm kind of indifferent. Or at least, I mean, my feelings have balanced out. I'm still a little angry at Peach, but I'm trying to be forgiving and give her the benefit of the doubt, too, so I guess it's a mix."
"Next up, Chuck Quizno, the main man of trivia!" Grubba announced, smirking as he faced the aforementioned. "You were eliminated by Dry Bones, the neutral player. How does that feel, Quizno?"
"THE Chuck Quizno does not wish, AT ALL, to comment on this situation." Chuck Quizno answered, turning away and pouting.
"But Mr. Quiz-"
"DAP! NO!" Chuck Quizno yelled, looking at Grubba with rage. "I DON"T WANNA!"
"Um…okay, then." Grubba said awkwardly, going up to the second row of seats and walking over to the first one in the line, Dimentio. "Dimentio. Despite all your planning and thinking and scheming, you didn't even manage to land a spot in the first row. How's that feel?"
"I'm pretty disappointed." Dimentio admitted, sighing. "I kinda thought I had this game in the bag, just because I was so well-suited to it…I've learned not to underestimate anything now. It was certainly hard out here. But I think the thing that really caused me to go wasn't my ability that I didn't know about, it was the big target I had on my back after I targeted Daisy right off the bat on day one. I was suspected by everyone, and that wasn't at all a good thing."
"I'd have to agree." Grubba said starkly, nodding as he skipped Waluigi (much to his dismay) and went on to Daisy.
"Daisy, you were eliminated because Peach managed to figure you out. What's that like?" Grubba probed, furrowing his brow as he did.
"It feels better than being lynched. Just one person willing to act on their suspicions…that's better than the majority of them doing that." Daisy said cheerfully. "The game was really fun. I was kind of aggressive, and I would have liked being town better, but I still loved every second of it!"
"Great!" Grubba said joyously, as he moved on to Kalmar. "Kalmar, you thought you were the real cop, but you ended up being the one who got the opposite results. How does it feel to, essentially, be duped?"
"Pretty bad," said a glum Kalmar. "I mean, I thought I was actually helping the town out, but my scans were providing hardly anything to help. It was disappointing when I figured all that out. But, I guess there's nothing I can do about it now."
Grubba nodded without a word and went on to O'Chunks. "You didn't really get to make much of an impact, O'Chunks. You were mislynched on day three before you even did much of anything, really. Are you disappointed that you never got your time to shine?"
"I wanted to CHUNK everyone in this dumb game, but I never got the chance to!" O'Chunks yelled. "Heck, yeah, I'm disappointed! Everyone here is stupid, that's what I say! I was town, and you CHUNKED me! Ijits!"
"Uh…well, okay, then." Grubba said nervously, stepping in front of Rawk Hawk. "You and O'Chunks are kind of in the same vein, Rawk Hawk. Can I ask you the exact same question? Only difference is that you were night killed by Dry Bones."
"I never got a chance to RAWK! That's sad." Rawk Hawk answered. "BUT! THE RAWKNESS WILL LIVE ON! THIS WILL NOT GET THE CHAMP DOWN! RAAAWWWWWWWWWK!"
"RAAAWWWWWWK!" yelled a few crazy Glitz Pit fans in the back row.
"…Cool." Grubba said simply, completely not meaning that. He went over to Mario, who smiled firmly at Grubba when he saw the Clubba approach him.
"Well, Mario, you certainly tried." Grubba pointed out. "You were doin' well, and prob'ly would have lasted a lot longer if Dimentio had not been protected. What do you think about all that?"
"I honestly think I could have made it farther than Dimentio did had Dimentio not been protected." Mario stated. "The only reason for that was Dimentio's ability. It was incriminating evidence. False evidence, but incriminating nonetheless. But I'm happy for Dry Bones. He never gets a break, really. It's good that he won."
"Way to be a good sport!" Grubba said cheerily, punching Mario in the arm. Mario laughed nervously and rubbed his arm while he was at it, as Grubba stepped over to Watt.
"Watt, your attempt to lynch Dimentio on day two failed." Grubba reminded her. "Do you have any comments on all that?"
"We were all really persistent on getting Dimentio out." Watt replied. "He was undoubtedly a big power player for the town, so it was important to get rid of him quick. I think it would have been better to let the town lynch him instead of night killing him after I left, but hey, who am I to judge the others? I'm the one that got eliminated first out of all the mafia."
"I'll reiterate that comment I gave to Mario!" Grubba said happily, smiling widely. Watt rolled her eyes and waved Grubba off as he spoke to Wario.
"Wario, you were the mafia's very first target." Grubba pointed out. "Do you have any questions about that?"
"I wanna know why you targeted ME first instead of one of them!" Wario yelled furiously, looking over at Toad as he stood and pointed at Mario and Dimentio.
"I don't like you. Your breath is smelly and you're creepy." Toad answered, his expression indifferent.
"GRAAAAUUUUUGGGHHH!" Wario shouted, lunging towards Toad. Grubba yelped for security, and a few bulky Piantas ran in and dragged the struggling game master out of the room, throwing him outside the door and then dusting their hands off.
"Thank ya, gentlemen," said Grubba as he wiped his brow with a handkerchief and stepped over to the very first contestant eliminated; Toadette.
"All I have to ask you about is how you feel about being the first out, and being mislynched, no less." Grubba told her.
"I was mad. I didn't think that I deserved to be out first." Toadette replied. "I panicked when people started voting for me, though, so that just kept pointing everyone in my direction. It's unfortunate, really. I hope everybody who participates in the game into the future falls onto better luck than me."
"Heh! Thank you, little missy!" Grubba said to Toadette, before walking over to the audience and facing them. "Now, it's time for our awards! Everyone get ready; this part is a doozy!" The crowd whooped and cheered, raising their hands in the air.
"First up is the most honored award; the Most Valuable Player!" Grubba announced, taking a trophy with "MVP" inscribed on it and holding it up for all to see. "Now, our three nominees are…Dimentio, Doopliss, and Bowser! This award is for the town, and there's one for mafia, too!"
"So? Who does it go out to?" Dimentio asked, raising an eyebrow.
"The viewers will decide that!" Grubba answered, flashing a smile at Dimentio. "Sorry, but we're not actually giving the awards right now! The winners will be revealed at a later date, after the voting! There are other awards, too!"
"What? That's stupid!" Bowser spat. "I say it should go to ME! I lasted the longest!"
"Sorry, this is just the way it goes!" Grubba told Bowser, before turning to the camera. "That's all the time we have! Thanks for keeping up with Mafia: Mario! Stay on the lookout for our sequel, Mafia 2: Zelda!" With a wave from Grubba, the camera faded out to the sound of loud cheering and music.
Yep, you guys get to vote on the winners of the awards, and I'll show the winners in an AN. Here's all of 'em, and the nominees (but you can choose your own winner, if you want);
Most Valuable Player (Town)

It's entirely optional, but I'd like you to. :P I'll still put up ANs for when I put the game up and when I put Mafia 2 up (I'll include the award winners in either of those), so don't ignore your Story Alerts just yet! Wow, I got this up way faster than I expected. O_o Weird. But, anyway, I really hope you guys have enjoyed reading the fanfic, and thanks for reading it at all, whether you liked it or not! ;D
~Stay awesome
