DanceDream: At first... They've grown to be more like each other as time goes on. Well, as far as I can make sense of Luigi's personality, anyway... Yeah, it did, but Mario and Luigi know that things are easier with minimal worrying. Mario's a doctor... I think he'd know, somehow. Yeah, I don't think Sonic's too happy about learning what the "dead skunk smell" really is. And how it's implied that Eggman tried to get rid of Tails, but couldn't do it without the Chaos Emeralds. Note that Tails was tied up at the time. Really, it's mostly that I don't like the Cyclone (that's what it's called). At all. I guess it looks most like skiing... They do it a few times in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Also, this will probably be the only point where I use the Generations version of a level. Just because that truck is isnane.

Adventures of Mario & Sonic: Generations

Wall-trucking!

"I just realized a few things," Tails said, as they walked up to a whited-out city. There was no statue next to it this time, unlike the other whited-out areas they'd seen, though there was an empty space for one.

"What's that?" Sonic asked.

"First, we left Knuckles behind at Mushroom Hill without saying anything... I bet he thinks that it's our fault. Second, wouldn't we remember this happening to our younger selves?"

"I don't know," Luigi said, "But I think we should save this place... Who do you think was petrified here, and where do you think they went?"

"No idea who, probably into the city."

"Well, we'd best go find them then, am I right?" Mario asked.

The first thing the four heroes noticed was that they were falling out of the blue sky towards a rather brightly-colored, and not skyscraper-filled, city. Sonic was quick to jump onto his board, while Tails pulled a light blue board with a star on the foremost part of the board, with a white end that made the board look slightly like one of his tails.

Sonic and Tails boarded down the street, while Mario and Luigi slid down beside them by holding their feet together.

"Skiing without skis? That's kind of cool," Sonic admitted.

"Thanks," Mario said.

For awhile, they continued on, not really talking about much.

"Rolling around at the speed of sound,"

Luigi looked around for the source of the voice, failing to find anything.

"Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow,"

"Background music with lyrics? That's odd," Luigi commented.

"Can't stick around, have to keep moving on,"

"Happens every once in awhile in our world," Tails explained, "Not often, but sometimes."

"Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out!"

"Time to crash through a huge pile of cars, guys!" Sonic shouted. The other three looked forward to see exactly that.

"Must keep on moving ahead,"

"Sometimes I think the world hates us," Luigi muttered to Mario and Tails. Both of them nodded in agreement.

"No time for guessing, follow my plan instead."

"Give Waluigi the truck, or your commander gets turned into a newt!"

"Why a newt?" one of the GUN officers asked.

"Would you prefer a snake?"

"No," the GUN commander said, "I would not appreciate being turned into a snake."

"Waluigi thought so. Now, give Waluigi the truck!"

"No!" another officer shouted, "How would you turn him into a newt, anyway?"

Waluigi took out the stolen wand, and waved it around. He shot a spell at the officer, turning him into a red humanoid swallow.

"Okay, give him the truck. After he turns me back," the now-avian officer said. "We don't get payed enough for all this weird stuff..." he mumbled.

Waluigi grinned, knowing exactly what he was going to do. He ran towards the truck, picking up the stolen statue on the way out.

"I'm glad we lost the boards," Luigi said, "That was... Oh, great, the music just changed. Something bad always happens when the music changes."

"Eh, shouldn't be too bad," Mario said, as the heroes jumped off of a ramp.

BOOM!

Mario turned around and ran backwards to see a simply enormous truck driving down the road, squashing cars and flattening trees.

"This would be a good time to speed up!" Mario exclaimed, doing just that. The other three heroes chanced a look behind, and saw that it would indeed be a good idea.

"Well, this isn't that bad," Sonic commented.

Giant buzzsaws appeared on top of the truck.

"You were saying?"

"Are you always this sarcastic under pressure, Luigi?"

"If now is a good time to dodge the saw."

Sonic looked up, seeing a saw coming down for him. He quickly stepped to the side, allowing it to dig a trench in the road. "Whoever's driving this has no regard for life."

A car flew past the heroes, "I'm okay!" an unknown voice shouted from the car.

"That's good!" Tails shouted. "But I think we should focus on the task at hand," he said in a more normal voice.

The three heroes managed to dodge the buzzsaws repeatedly, and came to a ramp at the end of the road.

"Why are these here?" Mario asked, as they used it to spring across the city.

"Dunno," Sonic admitted, "But there's no way the truck could... follow us, unless it crashed through a building. Which it just did."

"If I ever meet this driver, I'll have some things to tell him," Luigi said, a bit angrily.

"I think asking for his license would be sufficient... Oh, wait, I've never needed a license to fly a plane..."

"You can fly, Tails," Mario reminded him, "I needed to get a pilot's license, though. We're talking about driving, though."

"Wish I could drive something other than a go-kart," Luigi said wistfully, "It'd be fun. Oh, look, a wall to run on! It can't follow us onto walls, right?"

"It shouldn't," Sonic said, as the four heroes began running up the wall. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

"Seriously," Luigi said, "Where did this truck come from, and who's driving it?"

"WA HA HA! WALUIGI TIME!" Waluigi shouted, as he drove the truck sideways on a wall. "Waluigi will crush Luigi!" He floored the accelerator, causing the truck to pick up speed. Just as he was catching up to the heroes, he noticed a brick wall directly in front of him. The gap in the buildings was small enough to allow the heroes through, but the huge truck had as much chance as Waluigi had of slowing down in time. Waluigi knew he only had one chance, and waved his stolen wand.

As the heroes ran through the gap, the world flashed white. They appeared in the white void once more, and City Escape regained its color.

"You think the driver was someone we know?" Luigi asked.

"Waluigi was the driver," a voice came from the city, as Rouge walked towards them.

"I think there's something wrong with that guy..." Sonic said.

"Thank you, Rouge," Tails said, "You're still kind of creepy."

"Yes, thanks. Come on guys, let's-a-go! I'm sure he's still out there, and there's always more places to save." Mario, Luigi, Sonic, and Tails ran off. After they left, Rouge laughed evilly in a voice not her own.

Can you figure out Waluigi's plan at all now? Seriously, I've been hinting at it for quite awhile
