23 Challenges: Mario

by Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus

Twenty three enemies for Mario to avoid in one day, and while beating a challenge that is quite challenging? Oh Mario, what ever shall you do? Probably nothing, so don't pester Birdo or Dry Bowser about it.

11. Pokey

Pokey

Mario was stuck in the middle of the desert. Confused, Mario scratched his head in confusion and grabbed a water bottle, drinking it down as he helped quench his thirst. As he continued drinking down, he glanced behind him to see a large, towering yellow-colored cactus smiling down at him. Blinking, Mario slowly placed away his away, and started to move back several feet, only to jump in the air in pain, for he bumped into the spines of another Pokey.

"Yeouch! That-a smarts!" Mario yelped in pain as he fell back into the rough yellow sand, head first. The two Pokeys cackled with glee as they moved around the red-capped plumber, who popped his head out and spit out sand, his bright blue eyes flaring up. Mario flared up two red hot fireballs, and he tossed each at the two Pokeys, watching them burn in the powerful flames.

Mario blew the fire off his hands as he kicked what remained of the burned Pokey. Dusting his hands together, he headed for the northwestern direction, only to be ambushed by a yellow-orange Pokey with a pink flower on its head. Mario screamed in horror, and he turned around to run, only to trip on his right foot and tumble down the sandy hill, getting stick within a green warp pipe.
