A/N: Sorry if it's been a while since the last chapter! I've been putting all my effort into finishing the first chapter of Chaos on Earth! Also, for those of you waiting for SMB:TNC, I will post the next three chapters in the coming weeks as a "thank you for being patient" gift. Ideas would be appreciated, PM me with the prefix [SMB:TNC] if you have an idea.

And now, on to the illogical logic randomness!

Yes, I have wondered why we can jump on Bowser in some games but not in others. Also, I never realy thought about it bou Bowser does grow huge alot.

Thank you for confirming which level that weird cave is in. Also, yay, a Mr.L reference! I'll look forward to the next chapter!

Not only does Bowser become giant too often, but his size varies from game to game. Pretty inconsistent yet interesting.

Mr. L happens to be one of my favorite members of Count Bleck's council, up there with Dimentio and the Count himself. And Nastasia.

I often did think about that: how you can stomp on Bowser in some games, but not others. Great chapter and I'm excited for next time!

And you shall have the next chapter! :)

"Duck!" shouted Mario as a Bullet Bill sped toward him and Luigi. They ducked just in time, and the projectile sailed over their heads.

"There are more of them!" Luigi pointed at an incoming group of Bullet Bills. The Rock-Candy Mines were relentless today.

As Mario and Luigi ducked under and jumped over the Bullet Bills, Luigi was puzzled about something. "Just how can there be so many Bullet Bills in one cannon?"

"Hammerspace, probably," shrugged Mario.

"Hammerspace?"

"Back pocket principle," explained Mario as he kicked a Bullet Bill away.

"Uh, Mario?" Luigi said. "I'm pretty sure Nintendo didn't program you to do that."

"Do what?"

"Kick Bullet Bills. The only ways to really defeat them without getting all OP is stomping on them or using an Ice Flower."

"Don't worry, Luigi," Mario said as he punched one Bullet Bill into another, causing a fireworks display that attracted the nearby Monty Moles. "I follow the rules in the games, but this is a fanfiction-"

Suddenly there came a rumbling sound, followed by a crash.

"What was that?!" exclaimed Mario, looking for the source of the sound.

Luigi facepalmed. "I believe you just broke the fourth wall."

"Again?" Mario slowly shook his head. "I'd better watch myself. We're wanted men."

Luigi perked up. "Was that a Star Wars reference?" Mario shrugged in response.

Luigi continued. "So this Hammerspace is responsible for the infinite number of Bullet Bills within the cannon. But what exactly causes the cannon to fire at certain intervals?"

Mario thought for a moment. "Probably an automatic mechanism within the cannon. Look, there's an alcove we can duck in for now."

"Good idea," Luigi said as he followed his brother into the cleft in the mountainside.

"That also brings up the topic of their mechanics in different games. In the 3D games especially, they seem to emerge from the cannon partway, then fire."

"That is strange," thought Luigi.

"And don't even get me started on how they have mouths in the Yoshi's Island games."

"...Different manufacturers?" Luigi wildly guessed.

"And then there's the fact that they travel at one speed without slowing down."

"MatPat says 27 mph."

"So this means they really aren't that deadly?"

"Afraid not."

That's when the unexpected and yet inevitable happened. Mario darted from his hiding place, shouting at the Bullet Bills to come hit him, as they weren't deadly. He was hit by a few, but didn't suffer lasting damage. However, one of the "Leisurely Meandering Williams", as MatPat so accurately called them, struck Mario, sending him into a pit below. Luigi shrugged. Mario can be so dumb sometimes...

But wait...

"Sorry I'm late!" came the sudden voice of Mario from behind him. Luigi was stunned. "How... but..."

"That other me was a fake," explained Mario. "I learned that the Koopalings asked Bowser Jr. to turn back into Shadow Mario and use a perception filter to actually look like me. Kinda stupid, eh?"

"Y-Yeah," Luigi said, still startled at Mario's sudden appearance.

"Now let's go take care of these Bill Blasters!"

"That's what I like to hear!" agreed Luigi as the two dynamic plumbers continued their trek through the Rock-Candy Mines.
