Let me just say, to all those that review and read this story, thank you. I'm absolutely, without a damn doubt, stunned over the feedback and support I have received. I hope each and every one of you has an absolutely wonderful holiday week. Again, thank you all for this amazing and dedicated input.

I have an announcement to make regarding this story and the demand for a lemon. I will be writing a lemon based off this story, which will take place in-between the last chapter and this chapter. However, to ensure that the portion of my audience that doesn't want to read it, won't be forced to; it'll be a lengthy, one-shot, as a standalone side-story, rather than a chapter. Once posted, I'll give reference to it in the author notes, and it'll be up to the viewer to decide if they want to read it. To give some extra detail, it'll be in three chapters, with one chapter in third, one in first person (Luigi), and one in first person (Rosalina). To reiterate, it is not an additional chapter, but rather its own listed story for convenience.

Onto the main story, this chapter will intertwine the recent events occurring in the Mushroom Kingdom, along with the misadventures of Rosalina, Luigi, and the Luma. The relationship has officially blossomed between the two characters, so it's time to incorporate the Luma. Sorry for the lengthy intro, and enjoy everybody!

For anyone looking, as of December 28th, the entire story has been updated to patch up some small inconsistencies and errors. I'll be giving a new chapter tomorrow or so!


Sweet, Chaotic, Romance

Eternal space surrounded the Observatory, cycling between plethora of different planets, exhibiting a unique view and property constantly. A beautiful view, accompanied by a marvelous mixture of black, blue, white, and purple auras brightened by the stars—a beautiful portion of that aura seeped into Rosalina's window, awakening the exhausted Rosalina and Luigi. Rosalina's platinum blonde hair was no longer as delicately combed, and her exposed skin was rather bright as a result of the previous night's activities. Softly groaning, the princess scooched herself off her bed, grabbing her wand and beginning to change while Luigi lied on her bed, watching as he stretched from his stationary position and yawning profusely—a not so beautiful sight to behold.

"I've fought against King Boo and a giant Bowser in my mansion, fought in a Smash tournament on an arena where the arena constantly changed dimensions through time, rowed a paddle with others against Donkey Kong at a party…but you're a freak of nature with your energy. I never expected you-"

Luigi cut himself off, watching Rosalina cover her face once more in sheer embarrassment. The thought of the previous night was going to stay trapped in her mind, and her own hidden nature was revealed towards Luigi. It was incredibly embarrassing to Rosalina, looking at it in retrospect, but everything was wonderful for her first time.

"…L-Luigi, I liked it too…but I get very embarrassed…" she mumbled, twirling her hair before realizing it needs a wash. Hastily, she went to the bathroom, removing the attire she was trying to change into. Luigi looked at himself, realizing that he needed a shower of his own. Removing himself from the bed, he awaited Rosalina's return for his shower. Admittedly, walking was rather difficult for him due to his soreness.

"So that's what it's like for Mario." Luigi pondered. Rosalina promptly walked out the bathroom, looking elegant as usual, she laughed at the sight of a messy Luigi. Laughing with her, he simply responded with a "you can't just blame me for that!" The two chuckled, Luigi showered, wondering exactly where the water comes from, considering they're all on a floating station in the middle of space.

"Rosalina, how do you get water?" he questioned.

"By fusing oxygen and hydrogen molecules together! I have a conductor that's used with my magic! What happens is that any kind of excess oxygen or hydrogen molecules that are released from a planet gravitate towards a generator I made in the Observatory that stores them. Then, showers or anything that uses the molecules, are routed towards the conductors by merging or splitting! Nothing too hard I think." Rosalina giggled. This giggled turned into a laugh as Luigi went silent, uttering that she needs to meet with Professor E. Gadd sometimes.

"I forgot, you built this entire Observatory. Something like this shouldn't be much for you." He responded. "I may be a doctor, plumber, and all kinds of things, but I tell you Rosalina, I am not a floating space station expert." Luigi joked. The two were starting to really grow accustomed to one another, evident by Rosalina's reaction. When he first arrived, Rosalina was stern, mellowed, and rather serious. Since then, she's transformed into a smiling, cheery, and occasionally joking person. She was still incredibly shy, no doubt, but she opened up to Luigi and revealed what kind of person she is. Rosalina is a person that Luigi could easily connect and be around with. Luigi had since become far more optimistic than ever, though it was probably due to his stupid spell that was broken by Rosalina. All he had to say was, he was glad he made it up here. However, Luigi realized that he had to go back to the Mushroom World, because he had genuinely no clue as to what was occurring. According to Rosalina, a day on the station versus the time on the Mushroom World, was significantly shorter than a day on the Mushroom World. Certainly, there shouldn't be anything of concern going on. Mario should be awake from the Ztar as it's been a day or so since.

"Hey Rosalina, have you ever traveled in the Mushroom World?" Luigi asked, breaking his train of thought and slight concern over the affairs of the Mushroom Kingdom.

"No…I wish but unfortunately it just isn't possible. I have my children to raise, silly." She responded. Luigi smiled, nodding in response to the princess. Someday, perhaps, he could bring her over to the World someday if he could find some form of accommodation for her. Maybe Professor E. Gadd or, somebody could. That would be a delight for Rosalina; actually traveling in a world and seeing all the qualities it has to offer.

The two eventually left the room; holding hand in hand to approach and make it known to the Lumas that Luigi and Rosalina are in fact, in a romance. They were all playing and racing within the edges of the Observatory. The very moment one Luma noticed the detail, every one stopped, staring at the two in silence. Rosalina held a fear that perhaps, they wouldn't accept or like Luigi. This fear was defeated as her thoughts were muffled with the cheers and celebration of the Lumas, happy that they were able to help Luigi bond and approach with Rosalina. The reaction caught the mother off guard, looking at Luigi with her mouth agape, stunned at the happiness. Not a peep was said from Luigi nor Rosalina, letting the quick celebratory cheer have its run. Both of them smiled, squeezing each other's hand in happiness of the moment. Once the moment died down, she softly asked: "I see you are all happy, but how come?"

The familiar yellow Luma floated above the rest, preparing to represent the group: "We like Luigi. We started to really like him when he let us use him as a statue for our game. We thought he was what would be best for you mother."

"I'm glad, but what in the world do you mean as a statue?" she asked, her voice tinted with confusion. Luigi whispered into her ear, with her eyes widening a bit with an expression that screamed "oh." Rosalina looked at the colorful group, requesting that is not made a habit since Luigi probably doesn't enjoy spending much time sitting idle as a statue.

The Lumas all agreed, going to hug Rosalina and high five Luigi.

"I'm glad you guys accept me!" he stated, with the Lumas shouting in agreement. All of them are wild today, so Luigi assumed that was good. Luigi realized a large issue with this entire realization, tapping Rosalina on the shoulder and whispering to her that he needs a private place to talk. Rosalina grew a look of concern, waving to the Lumas as they walked towards somewhere more private.

"Rosalina, you know, I live on the Mushroom World, while you live in space…and you know time is a bit different here than it is back at home. How will we solve this?" Luigi asked, concern plaguing his voice. Rosalina smiled at him, kissing the plumber on the cheek while giving a quick hug.

"You have no need to worry. Perhaps…my children and I can settle on a new home in the Mushroom World. It'll be different, but you give me a reason to stop having a home in this Observatory, and having a home where the children and I can interact with others. I thought about it, and made up my mind many years ago, that if I ever had a lover, the children and I go to his home and integrate there. It'll be different, but I think it will be for the better." She answered, smiling sweetly as the issue visibly erased from Luigi's face.

"You know I'll be happy to bring you with! You will need your own castle and perhaps land, as you are a princess. My princess, though." Luigi added, watching as Rosalina simply hugged him in glee. What a joyous moment for Rosalina. She could finally let go of her past, and finally allow herself and her children to settle. Who better to settle down with than a legend of the Mushroom Kingdom, and someone so kind and gentle.

"If you don't mind, I'm going to play with the Lumas!" Luigi informed, with Rosalina grabbing his hand and strolling along towards the group. Every Luma starred at Luigi as he pulled out a very familiar leaf. Rosalina herself was caught off guard with the fact that he was dressed as…a fox. One brave Luma took it upon themselves to approach Luigi.

"Hey Luigi."

"Hey there buddy, what's going on?"

"I have a question"

"Feel free to ask!"

"Um…"

"Yes?"

"What does…the fox say?"

Rosalina shouted, screaming a vicious "No!" at the awful joke. Every paused and stared at the Luma, with its dreadful reference. The Luma laughed to itself, while Rosalina simply tapped the wand in her hand against her shoulder. "That cursed song…you have no idea Luigi, no idea how many times our Observatory picks up transmission from a foreign source, only for the transmission to be that song! Ring ding ding crap!" Rosalina let out. Luigi was surprised, as were the Luma, at the sound of her voice being raised. Upon realizing this, Rosalina looked around, suddenly becoming very embarrassed at what she just said. "It's only because…I try to sleep and it disturbs me when I try…" she added, moving her hair to cover the tint of red on her flawless skin. Everyone except Rosalina simply laughed. From assertive in frustration to coy in reserve, the entire scene was simply too humorous.


The Thousand Year Door opened, unleashing a myriad of evil energy with it. The trio knew that there was limited time before everyone in the Kingdom awoke, and the evil energy being unleashed needed to not be visible before their plans would be spoiled. The evil energy completely enshrouded Rougeport and a portion of the Mushroom Kingdom. The Shadow Queen looked at the Kammy, teaching her of a spell to absorb the darkness within an item. Kammy nodded, waving her wand in a circular motion, mumbling some kind of ancient language. A circular gate appeared where Kammy traced the circle. The gate opened, absorbing every ounce of the excess darkness, before suddenly shrinking and merging with the wand. This would completely empower Kammy's magical abilities, now possessing a fierce, dark power within the wand. The lost essence of the Shadow Queen was now contained, and all issue of possibly having people see the sight was now eliminated. The next step was to exit Rogueport and make their way towards Darkland. The Shadow Queen lifted Kammy and Bowser above towards the central area of Rogueport. Everyone was still out, but one could simply sense their movement. Kammy felt rejuvenated to such a younger age with the newly powered wand, and decided it would be best for her to take over.

"Alright you two. Stand back, we're going to become invisible, while I carry you." She asserted. A fierce blast of dark energy shrouded all three, before allowing them to float.

"My my…this energy is simply lavish!" she squealed, as the three began to cross over the sea body. All three laughed amongst them, as the essence of the Ztar subsided. Bowser heard a rather dark voice speak to him mentally. The contents of their conversation were unknown, taking place within the confines of his mind. Physically, all three were speeding towards Darklands to arrive and initiate their plans further.

"Bowser…my companion, exactly what do you rule over?" the Shadow Queen asked. Bowser huffed, prepared to brag profusely to the devilish Queen.

"Well…I rule over Darklands, having my own castle. I rule over a large army of Koopas, Goombas, Bullet Bills, and many other subjects. I have an airship fleet and a ground force. My children are also under my wing, helping with maintaining an assault force." Bowser explained.

"Well, I'm not familiar with some of your terminology, but I would certainly love to see exactly what it is in person. Perhaps, we can do something to increase that army of yours." The Shadow Queen retorted.

"You have your own subordinates, correct?" Bowser asked in response.

"I do. Not necessarily an army, but a number of available resources to certainly merge our forces into something formidable." She answered.

"I see. I must say, Kammy Koopa, the Magikoopa right next to us, is my right hand. The most knowledgeable of my advisors, and the most talented among my army."

Kammy Koopa simply laughed, adding: "My apologies, Shadow Queen. While his opinion is relatively pleasant, I would like to apologize for being such a nuisance in our duel." Everyone simply had a strangely induced, lighthearted laugh. Soon enough, the horizon suddenly altered into red sand, and poorly lit environment. Hovering over several tanks, the cloak of invisibility was removed, revealing them and the Shadow Queen. Everyone huddled in fear over seeing the Shadow Queen, panicking over what could possibly occur with her here. Bowser simply smiled, waving at everyone in an attempt to assure them that all is well, and that the Shadow Queen would not annihilate anyone.

"My…what an impressive army you have here, my companion." Shadow Queen complimented, stroking Bowser's arm in sheer flirtation. `Eventually, the trio would reach Bowser's castle, impressing the Shadow Queen and insuring, perhaps a forced marriage wouldn't be so bad for her. Kammy Koopa raised her wand, waving it in an oval manner to create a strange, blue light.

"Everyone, listen!" Kammy commanded, speaking into the blue light which acted as a projector of sorts. Everyone stopped writhing in their fear, attentively listening to the Magikoopa speak.

"I present to you, the Queen of the Koopas!" she yelled. Immediately, everyone dropped to their knees, or in the case of the Goombas, a quick nod as a symbolic message of approval. Everyone cheered, never expecting that King Bowser would find his Queen. The Shadow Queen waved, putting on a candle show in which every candle in the Kingdom was lit in a black and red flame.

"We have been oppressed for far too long. We are treated, as the scum of the Mushroom World! Without our King or Queen, what would this land be, and where would be? Certainly not with the Toads, I assure you! It is time that we show the world, that we will not be stomped on, nor denied the rights of our recognition!" Kammy preached, uniting the crowd under a nationalistic like hype.

"We will now demonstrate the world, our absolute power which will not be ignored. Simply disregarding us will be futile, as we know have our Queen!" Kammy screamed, with the crowd of citizens cheering in unison at the wise words. Bowser nodded at Kammy, s Kammy waved her wand simply once, then proceeding to hanging the wand upside down. The castle they stood on began to shake and tremor in fury and power, slightly moving to reveal a cylindrical shape object hidden within the confines of the castle, while also revealing what appears to be an incredibly thin needle at the top. Kammy led the crowd to countdown with them, watching at the strange object lit up with the countdown. The excitement and suspense filled, eventually leading to the final "zero" count.

Instantly, Bowser and the Shadow Queen poured a portion of their power, resulting in a large, dark laser being shot into the sky. Within mere seconds, the black laser exploded, shrouding the sky above all of Darklands and neighboring lands to be completely covered in darkness. This act would be seen and reported throughout the Mushroom World.

"Starting today, with the arrival of our Queen, we decide that it is time for us to become seen throughout the world. We as each and every single one of you to lend us your spirits towards this or any concern in the slightest, because in this very moment, this exact date will be written in history for the ages! We officially declare war on the Mushroom Kingdom!" Kammy let out, coughing on the side. Bowser and the Queen both noted that Kammy had impressive charisma and verbal skills. The crowd erupted, chanting anything they possibly could to continue the excitement. Despite the environment and devastating display of power, each of them held onto this as something of stride, something to hold to them as dear and a representation of their home. The sight was tremendous, leaving a Shadow Queen to kiss Bowser's cheek while Bowser clutched her hand.

"Absolutely perfect, not a single mistake."


Peach had awoke, yawning as she realized she was lying on her floor. Wondering exactly how that occurred, Peach briskly left her room, looking at a strange sight: Everyone was stretching, yawning, and talking about the wonderful sleep they had.

"Um…is it just me, or is it really weird that all of us just kinda fell asleep at the same time?" she questioned. The princess was not amused as to the condition of her hair, nor the slight odor emanating.

"How long was I out?" she wondered to herself. Peach had noticed Toadsworth walking into the main hall, approaching him as he viewed a large portrait.

"My…the level of details within these paintings are absolutely marvelous!" Toadsworth commented, aware that Peach was coming towards him. "Dear, I know what you are about to ask, and I share many questions along with you. I too, have just awaked from my slumber in a similar manner to that of my fellow residents."

"Okay, now don't you find anything suspicious about that, at all perhaps?" Peach decided to ask. "Everyone in the entire castle just woke at the same time, and judging by the smell, it has been days!"

"I noticed some people awaking in a similar manner on streets and parks. There is an anomaly occurring, this is something that can't be disregarded." Toadsworth added. "Has anyone called, and perhaps tried to leave a message?"

Peach stood silent, with both of them running to her room to grab her phone and immediately check for any kind of message. The only ones, strangely, came from outside the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Hi, it's Daisy! Hey girl, just wanted to say, there was a report saying some people are suffering from exhaustion in your Kingdom as some people knocked out!"

"Hi, it's Daisy! Listen, I hope you and Mario are well. I tried to reach somebody, but I can't seem to contact anyone in the Kingdom. Everything okay over there?"

"Hey, I'm really concerned. I don't know if you're okay, and apparently, a bunch of people are knocked out in the Mushroom Kingdom. I don't know what happened but I'm starting to get really worried. Waluigi also tried to contact some people, but nothing worked!"

"Peach, I pray you're okay. Everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom is out cold. There are people in the streets out cold, people in the shops, everywhere! I don't know what's happening but something bad is going on right now. Please, come outside when you get this and take some extra Green Mushrooms, please."

Peach looked at Toadsworth in shock, wondering what could have occurred. Running outside, Peach and Toadsworth went to the delivery area to see a collection of Green Mushrooms. The two untied the package, prepared to distribute each mushroom to everyone in the castle individually before figuring out the situation. The two stopped everything they were doing, and stood in fear and shock over a sight in the sky above.

Far away, in some distant land, the sky simply turned black. There was no explanation for what occurred. People in the Mushroom Kingdom looked at this sight, wondering what occurred. However, pandemonium grew rapidly as the blackness appeared to be spreading in the sky. People looked, praying and crying over the situation and fear that there was some kind of doomsday approaching them.

"What in the world is that…"


In Sarasa Land, Daisy and Waluigi discussed various options that could be taken under emergency action. Under private agreement, Sarasa Land contained jurisdiction to operate the Mushroom Kingdom under supranational law. The two looked distraught, wondering if anyone could have avoided what plagued the Kingdom.

"It's just too suspicious that only the Mushroom Kingdom was hit with whatever that was. You know exactly where the trail points to." Waluigi deduced. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he stared at a sight in the sky.

"Look, to your west." Waluigi demanded. Daisy observed, covering her mouth as they witnessed the sky become blackened with something. That was not some kind of normal occurrence.

"I swear I saw a beam before that happened. I swear to you, that is gotta be artificial. There is no explanation, other than something afoot." Waluigi continued. The two stared, watching the blackness spread the skies. What started as a dot in the sky was not a relatively large black scene. Eventually, the spreading halted, but not before Daisy went to her phone to listen to a message.

"Apparently, people in the Mushroom Kingdom woke up, but are freaking out over it! Oh no, this cannot be good." Daisy groaned, calling Peach who immediately picked up.

"Thank the heavens you're alive!" Daisy screamed, before calming herself.

"Mario is arriving here with Professor E. Gadd, apparently, both are concerned over the blast, and Gadd said that the source is not natural in any display!" Peach screamed back.

"Waluigi said that too!" Daisy yelped, giving thumbs up.

"There's a problem. Luigi is nowhere to be found. Mario recalled Luigi going to the Mushroom Forest, and Mario couldn't locate him. Professor E. Gadd tried desperately to contact him. Nothing, at all."

"Oh my. Send a search squad, I'll do the same." Daisy stated. Waluigi asked, "for whom", until Daisy briefly explained.

"I've never been on the best terms with him, but that's not good under any circumstance. I think it's best we declare an emergency to figure this out, because those two correlations don't make any sense at all. That appearing and Luigi somehow being nowhere to be found? That's gotta be related to them." Waluigi concluded.

"Oh no…" Mario mumbled, being audible over the phone. Of all times for Luigi to disappear, this was the worst possible moment.

"Is that…a comet?"


Bedtime was ongoing for the Luma up in the observatory, with Rosalina and Luigi sitting back. They were approaching the Mushroom World, and they enjoyed the sight they were getting. Sitting on the edge of the Observatory, they cuddled together, snuggling and kissing as they talked.

"Would you like to celebrate Christmas with me, Rosalina?" Luigi asked. Rosalina looked confused with this request.

"Would is this event you speak of?" Rosalina quipped. It sounded enjoyable to her, but she had no clue what it could be.

"The time of gift giving and being thankful." Luigi briefly explained. Rosalina squeezed Luigi's hand, prompting him to squeeze his lover tighter as they shared a brief kiss.

"You know…you and my children are my gifts, and my thankfulness is with you two." She whispered.

"You're your own gift to me, and vice versa. Lot of things has gotten better since I've gotten here, and I couldn't be happier." Luigi mumbled back. The two swung their feet happily, cuddling and hugging at the beautiful sight. "You know, you are even more beautiful than these stars and planets."

The two began to kiss, becoming intimate with one another as the beautiful aura and surroundings fueled them. They kissed, Rosalina's plump, soft, and flawless lips meeting with the lips of Luigi, as she began to move her hands toward his thigh. However, this was interrupted immediately by a gasp from Rosalina. Asking as to what happened; Luigi gasped himself, realizing there was something wrong. On the surface of the Mushroom World, there was a portion that was…black? It appeared to be slightly growing before stopping to the eyes of the couple.

"Wait a minute...the Mushroom World? We're not supposed to be back here so early, it hasn't been anywhere near close a century! Upon further inspection, there was portion that appeared black." Rosalina stated. Something threw them off course into a previous orbit.

With a simple look, Luigi nodded at Rosalina. Luigi stood, turning around and running to the Lumas, awakening them.

"I'm sorry guys, but something is happening to my home right now. I have to go for now, I will be back all." Luigi explained. Some of the Lumas cried, some wished support and desire to go with him, but all wished Luigi a safe trip. Rosalina joined in. Her lover was about to leave, but at least she knew he'll be back for her. He trusted her, and she trusted him. She began to get a bit tearful, hugging her in comfort. Luigi walked towards the view of the Mushroom World, as Rosalina waved her wand, summoning a Launch Star. Where to? Right into the Mushroom World.

"There's one issue Luigi, the Launch Star to the Mushroom World was not fully complete, and while it sends people there to the speed of light, you may accelerate to a future point in time. The maximum is 4 days, but with that going on, you have no time to waste. I want you to go, show that you have lost your fear. Show them who you are…who I'm in love with, Luigi." Rosalina broke, nearly crying. She loved Luigi, and did not want to risk losing him to.

Luigi walked over, holding the princess softly as he wiped her tears, kissing her. I'm going to try one thing for you to make you less lonely. Luigi dropped a sensor on the floor, explaining that it's a demolecularizing transportation system.

"I'll warp here instantly to you." Rosalina smiled brightly at this, before watching Luigi get into a squatting stance.

"Build, build, build, build, build, build, build!" he screamed, gathering a furious amount of electricity. Luigi devoured a leaf, turning his Kistune costume into raw energy for him to convert to electricity. "I have to remember what Doc told me. Rosalina, please feed me four green Mushrooms, and a red one, please!" Luigi demanded. Rosalina had a cache from when he and Mario was still here, and fed him the desire requested. "I can use the energy from this. My life force quadruples with four, and increases even more with a red." He explained.

"Build!" he screamed, alerting the Lumas as they observed, along with Rosalina. Rosalina knew what was coming, and trusted Luigi.

"Negative Zone!" he screamed, sacrificing the temporary life force boost of the mushrooms. The electricity from his body spread to the entire observatory, suddenly turning the entire area into an oddly green area. If Luigi hadn't devoured the mushrooms, he would have been killed putting this much energy in.

"Control…inhale and suck in some energy…release!" he commanded, with the Negative Zone returning into his body. The Lumas looked confused, with Rosalina looking at Luigi for explanation.

Running, he yelled: "I would use an instant transportation, but I don't have an established connection from here to back home, I gotta set it up. I promise I will! What I did with the Negative Zone was slow time down. You guys won't notice it at all, but one day on the Observatory is now equivalent to one day on the Mushrrom World. I did it to make sure you'll be a lot less lonely!" he yelped, running towards Rosalina who nearly started wheeping, knowing where Luigi was headed to, and the emotional love she just felt for Luigi. Luigi waved off the Luma.

"Even for a second…I'll miss you Luigi. I love you."she thought. Luigi made a half-heart symbol with his right hand, waving off everyone with his left. Rosalina returned the gesture, as the Luma approached their mother to hug her in their time of comfort.

"I used half of my energy with that one as well…more than I wanted to be used, but it did the job. I gotta get back. Hold on everyone, the new Luigi is coming. I have to stay well ad be able to return to Rosalina…so she can live here. What a sweet, chaotic, romance."


What a chapter! Holiday inspired at the end, I hope everyone has a merry holiday season! I'll be updating a bit slower this week due to the holidays, but made this chapter extra-long in compensation. Appreciate you all!

1.) Waluigi is intelligent because he otherwise lacks a personality besides being sneaky, being an Olympic-classed dancer, and a sportsman.

2.) The lemon is referenced towards the beginning. Won't need to be referenced anymore, as the time frame has been left alone.

3.) In Paper Mario: TTYD, darkness covers the Mushroom Kingdom and surrounding areas when the Shadow Queen is revived. I played along with that quite extensively, to not make Kammy Koopa obsolete.

4.) I wanted a nationalistic-styled rally. Nationalism throughout history has led to a number of conflicts. This historical factor is used in Kammy's speech.

5.) Darklands in this story is based on the map that appears as World 8 in Super Mario Brothers 3.

6.) Fun fact: Peach, Toadsworth, Daisy and Waluigi finally appear in the story.

7.) "Hi, it's Daisy" is a play of "Hi, I'm Daisy!", a recurring gag and phrase of Daisy.

8.) The concept of "where would everyone be without Bowser as their leader" was thought of when I realized, would Peach or someone else really adopt the Goombas or Bullet Bills? My conclusion: No.

9.) I made Rosalina incredibly smart when I realize that she builds that damn Observatory. Think about it, she made the Comet Observatory!

10.) The Mushroom World is supposed to be passed every 100 years. Using the concept that one day in the Mushroom World is a week or so, the time during the Shadow Queen's release what have caused enough of a disturbance that the negative energy slightly threw off the comet observatory. The original fight of when Bowser fought the Shadow Queen occurred several days ago in Observatory time, giving enough time for them to head towards the Mushroom World and explaining why they're passing by back there.

11.) I made a lame joke about Luigi's costume. Take it as you please.

12.) Luigi performing a Negative Zone so large when he could perform a tiny version is only attributed to the fact that he ate 1-up Mushrooms.

13.) 1-Up Mushrooms are only referred to as Green Mushrooms because in the games, obviously when Luigi or Mario (or whoever) is hit, they can die in a single hit. The story portrays the characters as having health, rather than hit points. That way, Mushrooms increase vitality.

14.) The demolecularizing teleporter is the teleporter Luigi used in the intro to come straight home.

15.) In exchange for vitality, Luigi can use stronger attacks. Risky move however.

16.) Red Mushrooms only increase strength and a bit of vitality to remain less powerful than green mushrooms.

17.) The question over what was going on in other lands while Mushroom Kingdom was attacked has been answered.

18.) Luigi and Rosalina are now a full-blown couple!

19.) The idea of an "incomplete Launch Star" stems from the fact that there was never a Launch Star headed towards Mushroom Kingdom in SMG1/2. This is why the Launch Star is still incomplete.

20.) Stay tuned for the war in the Mushroom War, it's going to get nuts.

21.) This chapter has been the chapter that ties in much of the stories concepts together. I promise, this is not close from finished, and things are not going to be as narrow as it can be than "Luigi wins" when he arrives. Let that be considered my present :). This is just the tip of the iceberg, as things are going to start snowballing. No more foreshadowing!

22.) By Luigi saying: "Half of my energy" being used, this was the additional four Green Mushrooms and the Red Mushroom, in addition to his own.

23.) The paintings Toadsworth viewed are the ones located on the second floor (unlocked in Super Mario 64 after your second Bowser fight), which contained Tall, Tall Mountain and Wet-Dry World, along with a notable portrait of Bob-Ombs, all in the immediate circular hallway.

24.) Rowing a paddle against Donkey Kong at a party is a reference to Mario Party 1's 1 Vs 3 Minigame: Padde Battle. It's often referred as the most difficult Mario Party minigame of all time, nearly impossible to win when playing on the hardest difficulty. This is because this utilized rotation on the control stick, and for anyone that remembers playing the N64, that control stick is not a soft piece of equipment. Minigames like those is why Mario Party 2 and on disregarded control stick minigames like that. The problem was so severe that Nintendo handed out gloves to people who purchased MP1, and is also the reason why Mario Party 1 will probably never be released on Virtual Console or the Nintendo eShop, ever.

25.) Things are getting heated. Hope you all enjoyed!
