God Save The Queen Chapter 50: Do You Like Parties

Danny, Sam, Dani, and Tucker all had a day to themselves. There were no ghost attacks and from the looks of things, it didn't appear there would be any. So the four friends decided to celebrate their friendship by playing the game dedicated to ending them: Mario Party. Specifically Mario Party 2. Danny chose to play as Mario, Sam as Yoshi, Dani as Princess Peach, and Tucker decided to play as Luigi.

"Alright, so what board are we going to play on?" Asked Tucker.

"How about Horror Land?" Dani suggested.

"Yeah, Horror Land always was my favorite," Danny agreed.

"Alright, Horror Land it is," Sam said. "Where we wear pointy hats."

"To defend ourselves from Sam's mother!" Tucker joked, getting an immediate response from the Ghost Queen.

"What?!" Sam replied. "Am I going to have to punch you out? Mama said knock you out because you called her a whore!"

"I didn't say that," Tucker defended himself. "I just said she was scary and considering how scary you can be, the person that created you-"

"Alright, I'm going to blast you out of a fucking window" Sam said.

"Wow, we haven't even started the game and we're already ruining friendships" Danny said in a Manic Depressed Luigi voice. "Typical day for Luigi"

They set the game to have 20 turns and began. The beginning dice roll to decide the order they went had Danny roll a 10, automatically securing him as first place, Sam on the other hand rolled a 1, making her go last. Dani rolled a 7 and Tucker rolled a 4, meaning they'd go second and third respectively. The first star space appeared near the top left portion of he map, down a path blocked off by a Whomp with a group of haunted houses.

Danny started off the first turn by rolling a 8, going past the bank and landing one space ahead of the item shop. Unfortunately, due to having to pay 5 coins to the bank, Danny didn't have enough coins to buy anything of significance from the item shop. He landed on a blue space and got 3 coins. Dani went next and rolled a 5, also going past the bank. Tucker rolled a 6 and decided to continue straight since going up would take him to Mr. I who would warp him past the star space if he decided to take it. Finally, Sam ended the first turn by rolling a 3, landing on the bank and being awarded 15 coins as a result, putting her in the coin lead and giving her enough for the star.

"Are you kidding me?!" Tucker asked in shock. "She lands on the bank on the first turn?! How lucky is that?"

"Calm down, it's only the first turn," Danny told him.

"True, but the first turn can easily determine the winners and losers," Tucker argued.

It was now time for the first minigame of the board, which turned out to be Hexagon Heat. The first colored flag that Toad raised was white, the center hexagon tile which all players started off on. The next colored flag was yellow resulting in a mad scramble for the yellow tile. Dani decided to be a little mischievous and positioned Peach on the edge of the tile, resulting in Luigi bouncing off of Peach's head, over the tile and into the lava, eliminating Tucker.

"One down, two to go," Dani said, as Tucker stared in disbelief.

"Don't think I'm going to fall for that same trick," Sam advised Dani.

Toad raised the green flag next and the three remaining characters made a dash for the green hexagon. Dani tried pulling the same trick again by positioning Peach on the edge of the hexagon, resulting in Yoshi bouncing off Peach's head. Sam however, was prepared for this and bounced back and forth off of Peach's and Mario's heads until the other tiles raised up from the lava.

"Way to go Sam!" Danny congratulated her.

"Darn it!" Dani cursed.

"You went to the well far too many times," Sam told her.

The next tile was sky blue. Peach ended up bouncing off of Mario's head and at the very edge of the hexagon, allowing Yoshi to push her off and into the magma below. Dani cursed under her breath at being eliminated while Danny and Sam were left as the only two standing. Toad raised the red flag and the two sent both their characters racing for the tile. In a variation of Dani's technique, Sam stood on the edge of the tile, standing in Danny's way and preventing him from jumping up on the tile. Mario was eliminated, leaving Yoshi the winner.

"So now she's got both the coin star and the minigame star and it's only the first time," Tucker joked.

The character coin count at the end of the first turn were Mario: 8, Peach: 8, Luigi: 8, Yoshi: 35. The second turn started off with Danny rolling a six, landing on a Happening Space and making it night, preventing him from paying off the Whomp and subsequently blocking off the path to the star from him as well as everyone else.

"Well, I guess no one's getting that star," Dani quipped as she rolled the dice and got a four, landing on a blue space two spaces ahead of the item shop.

Tucker rolled next and much to his dismay, rolled a nine, forcing him to go up. At least he landed on a blue space. Finally Sam rolled the dice and also got a nine, landing just one space behind a Bowser space.

"Ah man, and I was looking forward to the possibility of Bowser Communism," Danny said.

"Of course you were," Sam said.

The second minigame was Shy Guy Says. Players had to raise the same colored flag held up by a Shy Guy. If they raised the wrong colored flag, they'd be eliminated. Shy Guy started the game by raising the red flag, then the white flag, then the white flag again, then the white flag a third time. On the the fourth round, Danny instinctively raised the white flag and was eliminated when Shy Guy raised the red flag instead. Shy Guy continued changing between red and white before attempting to fake out the remaining players, managing to eliminate Sam in the process. This left just Tucker and Dani. After at least another minute of playing the game, Tucker didn't press the button in time, resulting in his elimination and giving Dani the victory. Coin count at the end of the second turn: Mario- 8, Peach- 21, Luigi- 11, Yoshi- 38.

Danny started the third turn by rolling a five, going past Boo, who offered to steal coins from any other player for 5 coins or stealing stars from players for 50 coins.

"Gee, I wonder who I'm going to steal from," Danny said sarcastically before deciding to steal coins from Sam.

"Wow, I really thought you'd steal coins from "See Map"," Sam replied, equally sarcastic as she rapidly pressed the A button to chase off Boo.

Boo managed to steal 16 coins from Sam, leaving her with 22 coins and in first place by only one coin. Danny now had 19, but unfortunately for him, thanks to his roll he ended landing on a Battle Minigame space. The computer decided that each player should pay 10 coins, putting the the total amount of coins on the line at 40.

"Please don't be Day at the Races, please don't be Day at the Races," Tucker pleaded with his fingers crossed. Much to everyone's relief, the Battle Minigame ended up being Bumper Balloon Cars. "Oh thank god!"

Almost as soon as the game started, Mario was eliminated by Yoshi.

"That was from stealing coins from me," Sam said to Danny.

Tucker was the next one eliminated from the battle game, when Dani ambushed him from behind while he was trying to take out Sam. Sam, in turn, eliminated Dani immediately to win the game. Dani, didn't care too much since she at least made back what she put in for the game. As a result of placing first and second in the battle game, Sam and Dani were rewarded 26 coins and 14 coins respectively.

"There, now I've got back the coins you stole from me and then some" Sam bloated to Danny, who was a little peeved at how his turn played out.

"So I steal 16 coins from you, then lose 10 of those coins in a Battle Minigame?!" Danny exclaimed. "At the end of the roll, I only made a 1 coin profit!"

"Just goes to show you: thieves never prosper" Sam said in response, playfully sticking her tongue out at him.

"Wow, we're three turns in and this game is already ruining a relationship," Tucker observed.

Getting back to the game, Dani rolled a seven and landed on a red space, losing three coins. Tucker rolled an eight, going past Boo, but not having enough to steal from anyone. However, the techno geek ended up landing on blue space that housed Hidden Block, that contained a star, immediately reversing his fortunes and taking him from last place to first.

"OH, WHERE ARE YOU AT?!" Tucker screamed with joy, nearly making his friends go deaf.

"I'm right here," Danny replied. "There's no need to yell,"

"That's the beauty of Mario Party," Tucker laughed. "With one roll you can go from dead last to first place."

Sam rolled a 2 and ended up landing on a Happening Space, switching the board from Night to Day and allowing her to pay off the Whomp so she could go to the star space. The game then set up the next Minigame, which ended up pitting Sam and Tucker against Dani and Danny in Torpedo Targets. The game was difficult for both sides due to the slightly sensitive controls but in the end, Danny and Dani ended up coming away with the win. The stats for the end of the third turn: Mario- 0 stars and 19 coins, Peach- 0 stars and 45 coins, Luigi- 1 star and 1 coin, and Yoshi- 0 stars and 48 coins.

The fourth turn started with Danny rolling a 10, passing another Boo and this time stealing 10 coins from Sam and paid the Whomp so he could take the path leading to the haunted house which resulted in him landing two spaces behind the haunted mansion. Dani rolled a 9 and went past Boo twice, stealing 7 coins from Sam the first time and 9 coins from Danny the second time.

"Oh come on, what did I do to you?!" Danny exclaimed, frustrated at not only not making a profit for the second turn in a row, but actually losing coins on this turn.

"Maybe this whole stealing shtick just isn't working out for you" Dani said with her theft of Danny's coins resulting in her gaining the coin lead. Tucker rolled next and got a 1, landing on a red space and dropping him down to 0 coins.

"Alright, I need a six to get that star," Sam said as she rolled the dice and got exactly six.

"You just barely got it," Danny commented.

""Would you like a star for 20 coins?" Yeah I would!" Sam replied to the game's prompt before buying the star.

Toad then moved across the board to reveal the next star space which ended up being two spaces after Boo's Haunted Mansion and two spaces before an item minigame. All four players were on their way to the next star, but only one of them had enough money for it at the moment. Sam ended landing on an item minigame space. The minigame she had to play was Coffin Congestion, where she had to keep track of items that were inside coffins. Sam managed to keep her eye on the item she wanted and walked away with a golden mushroom.

The game then segued into the next minigame, which was the 1 vs 3 minigame, Look Away. Tucker was the 1 player and had 5 turns to eliminate each player by looking in the same direction they were looking.

"Come on, Papa needs a new pair of shoes," Tucker said as the game began.

On the first round, Mario ended up looking down, Peach to the right, and Yoshi to the left. Unfortunately for Yoshi, Luigi looked to the left as well, taking him out of the game. On the next round, Mario and Peach outsmarted the green plumber but in the round following that, Peach was eliminated.

"It's all up to you," Dani said to Danny.

Danny managed to make it to the final round. Tucker was prepared for any tricks, desperately needing a win so he could get some coins. Mario looked up and so did Luigi, eliminating Mario and winning the game for Tucker.

"That's just what the doctor ordered!" Tucker celebrated as he was awarded 10 coins.

The player stats at the end of the fourth turn were: Mario- 0 stars and 17 coins, Peach- 0 stars and 51 coins, Luigi- 1 star and 10 coins, and Yoshi- 1 star and 11 coins.

Now that the star was on the path he was taking, Danny needed to roll less than a 4 so that he could make enough to buy the star on the next turn, provided Dani didn't steal it from under his nose. Danny rolled the dice and got a 2, much to his relief and putting him 2 spaces behind the star space. Dani rolled a 4 and paid off the Whomp to take the path leading to the star, but landed on a red space. Tucker rolled a 5 and even though he had the option of paying off the Whomp, realized that if he did so, he'd need to make 12 coins to have enough to buy the star and would need both Danny and Dani to roll a one on the next turn if he wanted a chance at the star. Thus, he decided it would be less trouble if he took the bottom path and hope the next star space spawn close to him. He ended up landing on a red space but that didn't bother him. Sam rolled an 8 and for the same reasons as Tucker, took the bottom path, landing on a blue space. The minigame was a 2 vs 2 minigame pitting the lovebirds against Dani and Tucker. The game in particular was Magnet Carta, where the two teams would have to utilize magnets attached to carts to pick up coins, Money Bags, and a Treasure Chest and put them in their own hole.

Mario and Yoshi managed to nab the Treasure Chest, which contained 10 coins. Both teams scored two money bags each, receiving 5 coins for each money bag. The team of Peach and Luigi got 3 of the individual coins while Yoshi and Mario only got one. Thus at the end of he minigame, Mario and Yoshi won 21 coins and Peach and Luigi won 13 coins. Player stats for the end of the 5th turn were: Mario- 0 stars and 38 coins, Peach- 0 stars and 66 coins, Luigi- 1 star and 23 coins, and Yoshi- 1 star and 34 coins.

At the start of the sixth turn, the game switched to night, blocking off Whomp paths once again. Danny started off the sixth turn by rolling a 1.

"NO!" Danny screamed, since that gave Dani the chance to steal the star from him.

Dani rolled a seven, more than enough to make it to the star space and buy the star, which put her in the first place. Now everyone except Danny had a star. Toad then appeared and revealed the next star space to be in between a blue space and a Battle Minigame space, where everyone was headed. Unfortunately, Dani ended up landing on a Bowser Space. Bowser himself appeared and selected Bowser's pot luck from his wheel, meaning everyone would lose 15 coins. This ended up working in Danny's favor since it dropped Sam and Tucker down to 5 coins and 19 coins respectively, screwing them out of getting the star. Now all he had to do was roll an eight or higher his next turn and he'd have himself a star.

Tucker rolled the dice and got a three, ending up three spaces behind the star space. Sam rolled the dice and got a four, landing one space behind the star space and giving her enough coins for the star provided some miracle happen the next turn allow her to steal the star from everyone. The game then selected a 1 vs 3 minigame called Filet Relay. In the game, 3 players had to carry a fish to their teammate with the last teammate having to take the fish to a group of penguins while racing with the one player, who had no partner. The one player in this case was Dani. All four players exploited a glitch that allowed players to slide across the ice rather than walk. In the end though, the team of Danny, Sam, and Tucker came out victorious. The player stats at the end of the sixth turn: Mario- 0 stars and 36 coins, Peach- 1 star and 21 coins, Luigi- 1 star and 18 coins, and Yoshi- 1 star and 37 coins.

"Please, let me get a high roll," Danny pleaded at the start of the seventh turn, desperately needing a star to stay in the game. Much to his joy, he rolled a 10, enough to make it to the star space. Danny bought his first star, but was still in last place… until he landed on a blue space that contained a hidden star. "OH YES! YES!"

Toad then revealed the next star space, which was three spaces after the item shop. All players were far from close to the star, which was 21 spaces away from the previous star space. Sam however could use her Golden Mushroom to possibly roll a 22 or higher and get the star. The chances of that happening though were 1 in 10886400 so she decided to wait until she got closer before using her mushroom. Dani rolled next and got a 3, getting her not much closer to the star.

"Wow, really rolling those big numbers" She said sarcastically as Peach landed on a blue space, gaining 3 coins.

Tucker took his turn and rolled a measly 2, landing on a blue space. Getting in character as Luigi, he quipped "Let me update my Twitter. Moved slightly up… found three coins. L…O…L"

Sam replied to his wisecrack by saying "So I guess you're going to play the roll of manic depressed Luigi this game, huh?". She rolled the dice and ended up getting a 5, landing on the bank space and getting 5 coins from the bank.

The next minigame would be the 4 player, free for all minigame Honeycomb Havoc, a variation of the game Nim, where players had to count and grab one of the fruits by hitting a slow dice block and get either one or two each time. However, players have to avoid the honeycomb. There are some coins mixed with the fruits. If a player gets a honeycomb, the bees will come out and chase the player out of the minigame. The last player standing would be the winner. When the game got underway, Dani, Sam, and Tucker worked together to ensure that Danny would be the first one eliminated since Mario was currently in the lead.

"Oh come on!" Danny exclaimed. "Why'd you all gang up on me?!"

"Because you have 2 stars and winning this minigame would allow you to buy a third" Dani reminded him.

"Sam has a golden mushroom and enough coins to buy the star!" Danny pointed out.

"But I can easily roll a 1-1-1, giving you a chance to overtake me and buy the star!" Sam argued.

"I'd have to roll a nine and a ten on my next two turns to get the star" Danny said.

"Well it's still better not to take the chance and give you a two star lead" Tucker said, getting a 2 on the dice block which netted him a coin and a fruit. Soon after however, he found himself in a position where he'd be eliminated no matter what he rolled thanks to strategic rolling by Dani and Sam. "That's okay, Luigi wanted honey anyway" He said before getting swarmed by bees. "Ah! That's not honey! Oh well, at least I made one coin off of this minigame"

This left it down to Dani and Sam, who both thought out their moves in advance. Unfortunately, a mistiming by Danielle allowed Sam to set her up to get the last honeycomb and be eliminated, giving the game and 10 coins to Sam, who also got one coin during the mini game giving her an 11 coin gain overall. The stats at the end of the seventh turn were: Mario- 2 stars and 19 coins (1st), Peach- 1 star and 24 coins (3rd), Luigi- 1 star and 22 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 1 star and 53 coins (2nd). The eighth turn kicked off with Danny rolling a one and landing on a blue space right in front of the bank space.

"And you guys were so worried that I would get the star within the next two turns" Danny said, rolling his eyes.

Dani would end up rolling a six, which had her land on a blue space that was two spaces past the bank space, meaning she lost five coins only to get three of them back. This put her 16 spaces away from the star. On Tucker's roll, he got a 10, landing on a blue space one space after a Bowser Space. Tucker breathed a sigh of relief at avoiding landing on Bowser and possibly losing all of his (or even all of everyone's) coins. Like Dani, he lost 5 coins and got 3 of them back thanks to going past the bank. This put Tucker 12 spaces away from the star, meaning he couldn't get the star on his next turn. Since none of the other three players could get the star on the next turn, Sam decided there was no reason to use her golden mushroom and decided to save it for the next turn just in case. She rolled an eight, landing on a blue space one space behind the other bank space and putting her 9 spaces away from the star.

The minigame at the end of the eighth turn was another free for all, this time being the game Roll Call, where the players had 30 seconds to count and correctly select the number of Boos on screen. The game was confusing due to the fact the Boos occasionally turned invisible or covered each other up, but was also an opportunity for all 4 players to get coins. Conceivably, a player could trick the others into guessing the wrong number, but that ploy could only work if the other players didn't know how to count. There were a total of 17 Boos on the screen, which Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Dani all correctly, resulting in all of them winning the minigames. The stats at the end of the eighth turn were: Mario- 2 stars and 32 coins, Peach- 1 star and 32 coins, Luigi- 1 star and 30 coins, and Yoshi- 1 star and 66 coins. While the group had been playing the minigame, Valerie walked in on them.

"Hey guys, what're you up to?" She asked upon greeting them.

"Playing some Mario Party" Tucker answered as the four of them were awarded their ten coins.

"You mean The Game That Ruins Friendships?" Valerie asked. "Oh, I have got to see this."

"Well take a seat, the friendship fracturing has already started" Danny said as he rolled the dice and got a 4. "Oh come on, can I get a higher roll please?!" His roll made him pass the bank space, losing 5 of the 10 coins he had just won and netted him a happening space, turning the board from night to day as well as putting him 15 spaces from the star.

"Hey, look on the bright side, you just got our first happening space and you're now in the lead for the Happening Star" Sam said, trying to console him as Dani took her turn and rolled a 2… landing her on a Bowser Space.

"OH CRAP!!" All five teens shouted in stereo, knowing this could screw all of them.

"You did this on purpose!" Tucker accused Danielle of intentionally rolling a two.

"What?! Why would I intentionally try to land on Bowser?!" Danielle asked in response.

"Oh come on, we all know Peach has a serious case of Stockholm syndrome when it comes to Bowser, this time she's just making it easier for him to kidnap her" Danny said before getting into character as Mario and saying "Meaning I'ma going to a-have to through eight a-worlds to rescue her again for just a kiss on the nose and some cake"

Meanwhile, the game switched to Bowser's lair when Bowser was laid out rather suggestively. The King Koopa immediately sprung to his feet and proclaimed "Doom, doom, doom, DOOM! Well, well, well, PEACH! Welcome to Bowser's Space!!! I recommend you try one of my frightening events! I hope you enjoy it! Step right up and let the roulette choose your fate!!!"

Bowser then brought up his roulette wheel, which had two "Give 20 coins to Bowser", one "Bowser's Chance Time", and "Bowser's Coin Potluck" with the remaining outcome being "100 Star Present".

"None of these seem particularly favorable" Valerie commented.

"You can always hope for "100 Star Present"" Sam said to Dani.

Unfortunately for Dani, Bowser's roulette stopped on "Give 20 Coins to Bowser", leaving her with 12 coins. "Damn it, Bowser, it's not enough for you to kidnap me, is it?" Dani said.

When it was Tucker's turn, he rolled a 8, going past the second bank space and putting him 4 spaces away from the star. After the close call with Bowser two rolls earlier, Sam was not going to take a chance and decided to use her golden mushroom now.

"I'm not taking any chances, I'm getting that star," Sam said.

"Here's hoping for triple 1's" Danny said, fingers crossed. Much to his dismay, Sam started off her triple roll by getting two 7's. "Oh come on, you're not going to get triple 7's, are you?"

Unfortunately for him, and all the other players, that's exactly what happened as Sam rolled a 7-7-7, more than enough to reach the star as well as giving her a 50 coin bonus for rolling triple 7's.

"Whoa, talk about a lucky roll" Valerie commented.

"Okay, I know I'm the technogeek here, but what hacks did you use on this game?" Tucker asked sarcastically.

"Come on, don't be so down, I just have the luck of the heavens on my side" Sam said as Yoshi, deciding to look inside the item shop since it was only 3 spaces from the star. Much to her delight and the everyone else's dismay, there was a magic lamp (costing 30 coins) available for purchase. "And it looks like my luck still hasn't ended just yet."

"Oh come on, you have got to be cheating" Dani said as Sam bought the magic lamp.

"I'll take this magic lamp just as an insurance policy." Sam said before buying her second star from Toad. Toad then revealed that the next star space was where the star had originally appeared at the start of the board, down a path blocked by a Whomp leading to haunted houses. That was 9 spaces away from the current star space and since Sam had rolled a golden mushroom, her turn wasn't over yet and she still had 12 left on her roll, enough to pay off Whomp, go down the star path and visit Toad to get a third star, putting her in the lead. "Man, this is awesome, my luck just doesn't end"

"Sam seriously, did you use your ghost powers to overshadow the game and give yourself an unfair advantage?" Danny asked, unable to believe what was happening. "Because you know that's cheating, right?"

Meanwhile, Toad revealed the next star space to be on the exact opposite path of the previous star, being on the path with two Boo spaces and being in between a happening space and a blue space. At the very least, this meant that Sam couldn't reach it… at least not without using her magic lamp. Sam finished her roll by landing on a blue space that was just 1 space after a Chance Time Space.

"Well that was quite the eventful turn" Valerie said as Sam's spectacular turn came to an end.

Since Danny's happening space decided to count as a blue space for this turn and Sam and Tucker had both landed on blue spaces while Dani landed on a Bowser Space (automatic red), the next minigame was a 1 vs 3 with that game being Bob-omb Barrage, where the team of three had 30 seconds to throw a Bob-omb into the raft of the solo player, who was sitting in the middle of the lake and had to move around to avoid being bombed.

"Alright, Alright, so I almost screwed us over by landing on that Bowser Space, there's no need for you guys to over react" Danielle said, getting into character as Peach. When that failed to dissuade the three, she reminded Danny and Tucker "Sam has three stars and a magic lamp, you're can't let her win."

"Yeah, but we win, we keep you from getting the star and we roll before Sam" Tucker pointed out.

"And besides, I'm not going to waste my magic lamp right away," Sam said. "I'm going to save it for later as a sort of Chekov's Gun"

"I wouldn't worry too much, Danielle" Valerie said. "You seem to be doing a pretty good job dodging the bombs". No sooner than she said that, Tucker managed to land a Bob-omb into Dani's raft with only five seconds left on the clock, winning the trio the game.

"Don't encourage me, this is Mario Party, encouragement will only jinx me" Dani said to Valerie. "Insult me, belittle me, tell me I don't have a chance"

"You didn't have a chance, did that help?" Tucker asked, a smug grin on his face.

After a couple seconds of silence, Dani muttered "Smartass".

"Wow, I'm not even playing the game and I'm still playing a role in destroying friendships" Valerie snickered.

The stats at the end of the ninth turn were: Mario- 2 stars and 42 coins (2nd), Peach- 1 star and 12 coins (4th), Luigi- 1 star and 43 coins (3rd) and Yoshi- 3 stars and 54 coins (1st).

At the start of the tenth turn, Danny was over 28 spaces away from the star and since he didn't have a golden mushroom of anything that would increase his rolls, there was no way he could beat Dani or Tucker to the star and that wasn't taking into account Sam's magic lamp. Thus Danny simply hit the dice block and came up with a 8.

"Hooray, I'm more one fourth of the way there!" He exclaimed sarcastically. At least it was higher than what he had been rolling, but it also put his one space after the second bank space resulting in him losing 5 coins.

When Dani took her roll, she got an 8, putting her two spaces past the bank space and 18 spaces away from the star. Tucker was the closest in relation to the star, being 17 spaces away at the start of his roll and he ended up getting a six. That roll allowed him to look inside the item shop and saw a magic lamp was available.

"You can call this my insurance policy" Tucker said, wasting no time buying the lamp.

"You do realize that this means you'll have win the next minigame if you want that star right?" Valerie pointed out.

"Don't you worry about me," Tucker said as his roll ended one space in behind a Bowser Space. "I'm a man with a plan"

"Hopefully that plan doesn't involve rolling a one on the next turn" Dani snarked.

When it was Sam's turn to roll, she got measly one, landing on a blue space, not that she minded as she already had a comfortable lead. Since everyone landed on a blue space that turn, the minigame would be a 4 player free for all. This minigame being the coin collecting game Deep Sea Salvage. The four players piloted submarines and had 30 seconds to grab as many coins and coin bags throw into the ocean by Hammer Bros while also trying to avoid mines that stunned the players for a few seconds tossed by said Hammer Bros. By rapidly pressing the A button, players could rise towards the surface to increase their chances of getting coins but at the risk of also getting hit by mines. Sam managed to win the most coins by getting 3 coin bags and 3 coins individually, totaling 18 coins. Dani got the second most coins, getting 14 with Tucker collecting 10 and Danny getting the least amount with 9 coins.

The stats at the end of the tenth turn were: Mario- 2 stars and 49 coins (2nd), Peach- 1 star and 29 coins (3rd), Luigi- 1 star and 26 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 3 stars and 75 coins (1st).

Turn 11 began with Danny getting a 7 with the dice block, allowing him to buy an item from the item shop. Much to his pleasure, there was a magic lamp available for him to purchase too.

"Oh, what the heck, why not?" Danny asked as he dished out 30 coins for the lamp. "At this rate, I'm not getting the star anyway." Danny's roll ended up placing him on the exact space where the previous star had been as well as 13 spaces from the star.

Dani took her turn and rolled a 1, putting her 17 spaces from the star and not even allowing her to visit the item shop. "Come on, really?!" She stated, rolling her eyes at her low roll.

"Hey, at least I can't get the star on this turn," Tucker pointed out as he rolled a 7, putting him 4 spaces from the star.

Sam would roll a 10 on her turn and landed on a battle minigame space. The game took 20 coins from all four competitors, putting a total of 80 coins at stake. The game itself would be Bowser's Big Blast, where players would take turns pressing down five multicolored plungers connected to a Bowser Bomb. If the player picked the plunger that was the detonator to the bomb, they would be blown up and the number of plungers would decrease by 1 as the game advanced to the next round. The last player standing would be the winner. As fate would have it, Luigi was up first.

"So not only is it luck based, but it looks like you're going first" Valerie said, prompting Tucker to yell "Oh, for FUCK'S sake!"

He was right to tell as he ended up selecting the green plunger… that turned out to be the detonator, eliminating him on the first round of the game. "At least I still have enough coins to buy the star" Tucker muttered as Dani went up next.

There were now four plungers, colored red, green, yellow, and gray. Taking a guess, Dani chose gray, which was a dud, keeping her in the game. Sam went next and chose green, keeping her in the game while Danny chose red and also stayed in the game as the plungers reset.

"Pressure's on you," Danny said to Danielle, who selected yellow, which was a dud.

"Okay, I'm going to choose green again, it can't be green again so soon, law of averages dictates that" Sam said, selected green and staying safe before advising Danny "I'd recommend choosing the gray one.

"Forget you, I'm not taking any advice from you, I'm picking my signature color red that was if it blows up, I can give you the evil eye before I'm blown to bits" Danny said in character as Mario. He should've listened to Sam as red turned out to be the detonator. "NOOOOO!"

"Should've listened to me," Sam said as the plungers reset and Dani chose red, keeping her in the game. There were two plungers left, colored yellow and gray and unfortunately Sam chose the wrong one and was eliminated, giving the battle game to Dani. "At least I get back the coins I put in."

The winnings were divided between Dani and Sam with Dani getting 56 coins and Sam getting 24 coins.

The minigame at the end of turn 11 was a 1 vs 3 with Sam being the one player. The game selected was Quicksand Cache, a coin collecting minigame favoriting the one player where the theee players would have to avoid getting sucked in a vortex in the quicksand controlled by the one player while collecting as many coins and coin bags as they could. Meanwhile the solo player controlled the direction of the vortex and could pull coins and coin bags towards themselves. The end result was Sam collecting 4 coin bags and 4 coins while Dani collected 12 coins, Tucker nabbed 13 coins and Danny managed to get 3 coin bags and 4 coins. The stats at the end of turn 11 were: Mario- 2 stars and 21 coins (2nd), Peach- 1 star and 100 coins (3rd), Luigi- 1 star and 42 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 3 stars and 105 coins (1st).

At the start of turn 12, the board switched from day to night, blocking off certain pathways and allowing players to visit Boo to steal from other players. Danny kicked off this turn by rolling a 1, much to his chagrin.

"Moving on up, one space at a time" He muttered.

Dani had much better roll this turn as she wound up getting a 10, putting her 7 spaces away from the star. She passed by and purchased as skeleton key for 10 coins from the item shop on her way, confusing Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie as she could've bought a magic lamp like the others. She ended up stopping one space in front of a Boo space.

"Wait, why didn't you buy a magic lamp?" Valerie asked her.

"Don't worry about me," Dani said with an evil smirk. "I have my own plans"

Tucker didn't know what to make of her statement, but didn't care as he was only four spaces from the star and he had a magic lamp to boot. He just needed a four or higher and the star was his. And fortunately for him, he rolled exactly enough to get the star, getting a 4 on the dice block.

"Mother of God Yes!" He proclaimed as he bought his second star, putting him

back in the running. Toad then revealed that the next star would be two spaces in front of the door to the big boo that required a skeleton key. Since Sam had ended up three spaces past the star on her previous roll, this made it pretty much a race between Dani and Tucker for that next star. Sam wasn't too upset however, still having a magic lamp and a decent lead. On her turn, she rolled a 5, landing on a blue space right behind a happening space. The minigame at the end of the turn was the 4 player free for all Hot Rope Jump, where the players had to jump over a rope of flaming hot podaboos, that progressively sped up as time went on. The game either ended when 1 player was left, all players had been eliminated, or all four players completed 40 jumps. Danielle would walk away the winner of this game, her quick reflexes allowing her to outlast Danny, Sam, and Tucker. The stats at the end of the 12th turn were: Mario- 2 stars and 24 coins (3rd), Peach- 1 star and 103 coins (4th), Luigi- 2 stars and 25 coins (2nd) and Yoshi- 3 stars and 108 coins (1st).

Turn 13 turned out unlucky for Danny as he rolled a 5, missing a boo by one space and landing on the same space as Danielle, who rolled an 8 and went past 2 boos, taking the opportunity to steal both times. First she stole from Sam, taking 17 coins from her and getting the coin lead. The second time, she stole from Tucker and took 23 coins, much to his dismay.

"What're you doing?!" Tucker asked in frustration.

"Stopping you from getting the next star" Dani calmly replied.

"But, you, Sam has more coins-" Tucker started to object before acknowledging that Dani's actions made sense. "Okay, that's actually pretty clever, but still cut me some slack"

"Wow, it's almost as if it's you're all competing against each other" Valerie remarked.

"Now don't you get started" Tucker said before taking his turn and hoping for a low roll or at the very least, less than an 8. He got his wish, rolling a 5, theoretically keeping him in the race for the star on his next turn and landing on an item minigame. Since he already had a magic lamp however, he didn't get a chance to play. "Okay, I've still got a shot"

"Yeah, only if this next game is another coin collecting game and you manage to get 15 coins" Sam quipped, taking her turn and rolling a 3, landing on a blue space one space after a Bowser Space, narrowly dodging a bullet.

Unfortunately for Fryer Tuck, the minigame at the end of round 13 ended up being a standard 1 vs 3 minigame by the name of Shock, Drop or Roll where the one player controlled a turbine by turning it either left or right and had 30 seconds to make the other 3 fall off. The 3 players were tasked with trying to stay on the turbine and not get electrocuted by falling off. If the player controlling the turbine failed to eliminate all three opponents within the allotted, they'd lose. Tucker's bad luck didn't just continue there as it turned out the game was incredibly broken for the three players, who could stay alive by simply jumping in place. This gave Danny, Dani, and Sam an easy victory and 10 coins. The stats at the end of turn 13 were: Mario- 2 stars and 27 coins (2nd), Peach- 1 star and 146 coins (4th), Luigi- 2 stars and 2 coins (3rd), and Yoshi- 3 stars and 104 coins (1st).

Turn 14 began with Danny rolling a six, meaning he got to visit one Boo but missed out on the second by one, ending up on a red space. Since Danielle had swooped in and taken the coin lead the previous turn, she was the most logical person to steal from.

"Sorry Dani, but you've got the most coins" Danny apologized, taking 26 coins from Dani.

"Don't worry about," Dani replied. "I'll get you back"

"I don't like that sound in her voice" Sam said, curious as to what Danielle was planning.

Dani took her roll and needed at least a seven to get the star. She rolled a nine, allowing her to buy her second star and bring the game even closer. Toad then revealed the next star space to once again be two spaces after the item shop, putting Sam the closest. Danielle ended up landing on a blue space. Tucker grumbled angrily about being robbed of the star before making his roll and getting a 3, landing on another item minigame space that he couldn't play. On her turn, Sam rolled a six, putting her one space past the bank on a blue space. The total amount in the bank was now 35 coins. Since Danny ended up landing on a red space and Tucker's green space ended up counting as red for this turn, the minigame at the end of turn 14 was a 2 vs 2 putting girls vs guys.

"Alright, this is a battle of the sexes to see who is superior! Introducing in the red corner, at a combined weight of 281 pounds, Danny Phantom and Fryer Tuck!" Danny and Tucker hammed it up while the girls all rolled their eyes.

"Do me a favor and win this minigame" Valerie whispered to Sam and Dani.

The game in question would be Destruction Duet, where the teams of two raced each other to be the first to reduce a Bowser Statue to rubble by punching, kicking, and performing Hip Drops upon it within 60 seconds. The game could be won very easily if both teams exclusively used the jump kick to damage the statue, which essentially made the game a button masher. In the end though, a slip up on Danny's part (he did a hip drop rather than a jump kick, slowing down his team) ended up giving the victory (and 10 coins) to Dani and Sam.

"Your winners and undisputed gende champions: Dani Phantom and Sammy Specter!" Valerie announced in response to the boys' hammy introduction at the start of the minigame.

The stats were now: Mario- 2 stars and 45 coins (3rd), Peach- 2 stars and 113 coins (2nd), Luigi- 2 stars and 2 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 3 stars and 112 coins (1st). Turn 15 began with the board shifting from night to day once again, closing off Boo to all players. Danny was a bit upset about not getting the chance to steal money from either Dani and Sam but didn't let it bother him too much as he decided to implement Plan B.

"You know what? Screw it, I'm using the magic lamp right now" Danny declared triumphantly before using his lamp to take him directly to the star. He wasted no time in buying his second star to put him in second place and close the gap just a little more while Toad revealed the next star to be on a path that diverged two spaces after the item shop to the right, being one space after a Battle minigame space. Danny then rolled a three, landing on a Bowser Space. "NO!"

"And now you could lose everything" Sam teased him playfully.

Fortunately for Danny, he only ended up losing all of his coins, which he considered better than the alternative of potentially losing one of his stars. When Dani took her turn, she rolled a five, causing her to land on the bank and get the 35 coins it had stored.

Tucker, still lacking enough money to use his magic lamp, simply rolled the dice block and got a 10, going past the bank and landing on a blue space right in front of a happening space. Sam then rolled and got a 7. This allowed her go down the route leading to the star, landing on a blue space 4 spaces behind the star. Since Tucker couldn't use his magic lamp to swoop in and steal the star from her and no one else was close enough to reach the star within, the next turn, this all but assured her the star on her next turn. Due to Danny landing on a Bowser Space and Dani's green space deciding to count as blue, the minigame at the end of the turn was another 1 vs 3, this time being Bowl Over. In the game, the solo player had two chances to knock over all three of his opponents (who were bowling pins that could jump around to avoid being hit) with a koopa shell. If the solo player hit any of the non player bowling pins, they'd gain one coin for each pin and would automatically lose if the koopa shell went over the edge. On his first roll, Danny managed to knock out Tucker and two regular bowling pins. Unfortunately, this allowed Dani and Sam to simply move in completely opposite directions for a 7-10 split meaning Danny could only get one of them. He ultimately missed both girls, giving the game to the three players although Danny did get 2 coins out of the game. The stats at the end of the 15th turn were: Mario- 3 stars and 2 coins (2nd), Peach- 2 stars and 158 coins (3rd), Luigi- 2 stars and 13 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 3 stars and 125 coins (1st).

Turn 16 marked the beginning of the last five turns of the board. As it was the last five turns, Toad predicted that the winner of tha game would be Luigi (giving him 10 coins), the amount of coins received/ taken from landing on red/ blue spaces doubled from 3 to 6, and duel minigames would be enacted if two players landed on the same space. Things were getting down to the wire and there was no telling how the game could turn out. Sam's string of incredibly good luck had certainly shifted the game in her favor, but she wasn't guaranteed a victory just yet.

Danny started the turn by rolling a six and as he didn't have enough money to pay off the Whomp (not that he would if he had enough money), was forced to go down a path where he'd land on a battle space. The entry fee for the minigame was 10 coins per player, but since Danny didn't have enough coins, that meant only 32 coins were up for grabs. The Battle game was Rakin Em In, where players had to grab the mushrooms on a slow spinning roundtable by using a mechanic claw to grab them into their baskets. A regular mushroom was worth one point, there were three golden mushrooms worth 3 points and there were two purple mushrooms that took away three points. Thirty seconds were on the clock and the player to get the most points at the end would win a majority of the prize.

Danny managed to sneak away in first place by nabbing two of the golden mushrooms and one regular mushroom, Tucker came in second with 4 points, Dani in third with 3 and Sam in last with 2 points. Danny got 20 coins from the game, Tucker got 11 and the spare pity coin went to Danielle.

"Yo, I like how the one person who couldn't afford to pay the full amount got most of the coins" Dani quipped.

"Yeah, me too," Danny said, happy with his profit.

Danielle rolled her eyes and hit the dice block as her turn rolled around and got a 7, landing on a red space and losing 6 coins.

Tucker then rolled the dice block and got an eight, landing on the second bank space… which nobody had passed meaning it had no coins in it.

"Man, you're having really bad luck" Valerie told him.

"No… crap" Tucker said in response, sounding disappointed.

"You know, you could've used your magic lamp to steal the star from me," Sam pointed out to Tucker, causing him to scream in self frustration.

"I completely forgot about my magic lamp!" He shouted, grabbing at his hat.

"Don't beat yourself up too much, at least you gave me the chance to further my lead" Sam snickered before taking her roll. Danny had rolled a 6, Dani had rolled a 7, and Tucker had just rolled an 8, so it only made sense that Sam would roll a 9, enough to get her fourth star and further her lead and making her land on a blue space right in front of a happening space. Toad showed the next star space was two spaces after the Mr. I at the top of the board and one space behind the haunted mansion.

"Keep calm" Danny said to himself. "She does not have an automatic victory yet."

The game at the end of the turn would be a 2 v 2 game and the first repeat minigame as the game chosen was Magnet Carta, pitting Danny and Sam against Tucker and Dani. Danny Sam won 18 coins from the minigame while Dani Tucker got 22 coins. The stats at the end of the 16th turn were: Mario- 3 stars and 38 coins (2nd), Peach- 2 stars and 163 coins (3rd), Luigi- 2 stars and 36 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 4 stars and 139 coins (1st).

On turn 17, Danny rolled a 7, landing on a blue space. Dani rolled high, getting a 10. Rather than going straight however, she went right and paid the Mr. I at the bottom of the map 10 coins to teleport her to the Mr. I at the top of the board, where she has 2 spaces left on her roll, allowing her to buy the star and bring her total up to three.

"I love it when luck works out in my favor" Dani said, landing on a blue space two spaces after the haunted mansion after Toad showed the next star space to be three spaces behind where Danny was in between a red space and a happening space.

"OH COME ON, YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!" Danny screamed at the top of his lungs while the other four laughed at him.

"Don't worry bro, I'll take that star off your hands for you" Tucker said, using his magic lamp to teleport to the star location bringing him up to three stars. He then rolled a three, landing on he exact same space as Danny and initiating a duel minigame as the next star appeared on a path gaurded by a Whomp one space ahead of a Happening Space and two spaces behind a Chance Time Space. "Heheh, hey buddy" He laughed nervously.

"You're so lucky I can't duel you for stars in this game," Danny said, choosing to wager as many coins as he could (36 ie every single coin Tucker had).

The duel minigame for Horror Land was known as "Mushroom Brew" where the players had to press buttons as they appeared on the screen. Pressing be correct button would place a mushroom into the brew. The player with the most mushrooms in their pot at the end of the game would mix them to create a star, winning them the duel. Danny was determined and easily won the minigame, taking all 36 of Tucker's coins in the end, dropping Fryer Tuck down to zero.

"Is our friendship officially dead now?" Tucker deadpanned after the game was over as he was awarded his six coins for landing on a blue space.

"Not yet" Danny said, smugly grinning at having taken all of Tucker's coins.

Sam then took her turn and rolled a 4, landing on a blue space that was behind a red space. The minigame at the end of the turn was a 4 player free for all by the name of Dizzy Dancing. At the start of the minigame, the record on which the players were standing started spinning, thus knocking them all into their corners and making them dizzy. The objective of the game was to be the first character to grab the music note hovering over the center of the record. The task was easier said than done as due to the characters' dizziness, the controls were altered and players had to figure out how each direction on the controller translates to the screen. It was Danny who came out with the victory on this minigame.

"I may have missed getting a star, but at least I made some money this turn" Danny said.

Turn 17 stats: Mario- 3 stars and 90 coins (3rd), Peach- 3 stars and 169 coins (2nd), Luigi- 3 stars and no coins (4th) and Yoshi- 4 stars and 145 coins (1st).

At the start of turn 18, the board changed from day to night for the last three turns. Since Whomps couldn't move at night, this blocked off the path leading to the star, meaning nobody could get to it without the use of a magic lamp. Danny rolled a 4 to kick the turn off, landing on a blue space and missing a item minigame by 1.

"Drats." Danny said, having hoped he could've gotten a magic lamp.

Dani had three turns to put her plan to win the game. She'd need to get 11 within these 3 turns to accomplish her goal. She didn't get off to the best start as she rolled a 4, same as Danny, and landing on a blue space. On Tucker's roll, he got a 2, landing on an item minigame space. Playing said item minigame, he managed to get a mushroom, giving his two dice blocks whenever he decided to use it. Sam rolled next and got an , landing on a blue space four spaces after the bank.

The minigame at the end of turn 18 was a four player free for all by the name of Bumper Balls. In this minigame, all four characters were on balls on a platform above lava. The players had 60 seconds to knock each other out with the last player standing being the winner. If more than one player remained when the time ran out, the game would end in a draw and nobody would win any money. Fortunately, Tucker managed to come away with the win.

The stats at the end of turn 18 were: Mario- 3 stars and 96 coins (3rd), Peach- 3 stars and 175 coins (2nd), Luigi- 3 stars and 10 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 4 stars and 151 coins (1st)

The penultimate turn began with Danny rolling a one and landing on an item minigame. From the minigame, he got a warp block allowing him to randomly switch places with another player. On Dani's roll, she got an 8, just enough to fulfill her plan.

"Hey, remember when I bought that skeleton key earlier?" Danielle reminded her opppnents, resulting in a collective "OH CRAP" from Danny, Sam, and Tucker.

"Why the panic, what's she going to do?" Valerie asked.

"She's going to use her skeleton key to open the door to visit Big Boo" Tucker told her.

"Yeah, so?" Valerie asked.

"Big Boo is capable of stealing from the three other players, including stars" Sam revealed.

"Oh…… sucks to be you" Valerie said.

"Yeah it does," Dani said as she reached Big Boo. "Because I'm paying 150 coins to steal a star from all 3 of you."

"Clever girl" Danny could only applaud his daughter's strategic actions, even as he lost a star.

The theft ended up putting Dani in first place and she landed on a blue space right in front of a Chance Time Event.

"Wow. I wish I had thought of that" Tucker said as he to rolled a 9, landing on a blue space that was just after a battle minigame.

"Well at least now, I can try and hope to retake the coin star from you" Sam said as she rolled a one.

The penultimate minigame was another free for all and this time it was the button masher Mecha Marathon. The players had ten seconds to wind up their Fly Guys by rapidly pressing A B. The more charged up the fly guy was, the farther they'd fly. The player whose Fly Guy made it the furthest would be the winner. Sam proved to be a skilled button masher for this game as her Fly Guy came away with the win. The stats at the end of the 19th turn were: Mario- 2 stars and 96 coins (3rd), Peach- 6 stars and 31 coins (1st), Luigi- 2 stars and 16 coins (4th), and Yoshi- 3 stars and 167 coins (2nd).

At the start of the last turn, Danny used his warp block and ended up swapping places with Danielle. He then rolled a one, landing on Chance Time.

"Eh, who knows, maybe this'll end in my favor" Danny said. No such luck as he instead ended up accidentally giving one of his stars to Tucker. "Done!" Danny declared, dropping his controller to the floor.

With a comfortable lead, it didn't matter what Danielle rolled as she got a 3, missing a happening space by one and landing on a blue space. Since it was the last turn, Tucker decided her had nothing to lose and using his mushroom, rolled a 7 and a 10 for 17, landing one space after the item shop and one space ahead of Sam on a blue space.

"Okay, since this is the final turn and nobody else can get the next star no matter what, now's the perfect time to use my insurance policy" Sam said before using her magic lamp to get the final star of the game. The next star space was irrelevant as it was too far away for Sam to get it with her roll and it was the last turn so nobody else could get it. With the final roll of the game, Sam got a 3 landing on a blue space.

The last minigame of the game was 4 player free for all, Platform Peril. The minigame took place over the skies with several checkered floating platforms. The objective for the four players was to jump from platform to platform and be the first to reach the end while avoiding obstacles. As if to throw him a bone, Danny came away with the last minigame victory.

The stats at the end of the last turn were: Mario- 1 star and 106 coins (4th), Peach- 6 stars and 37 coins (1st), Luigi- 3 stars and 22 coins (3rd), and Yoshi- 4 stars and 153 coins (2nd).

"Alright, let's see who won this game" Valerie said.

"I can tell you who didn't win," Danny said bitterly, arms crossed.

"I'd need to sweep all three bonus stars or at the very least get two of the bonus stars while making sure Dani didn't get any bonus stars to win" Sam said.

The first bonus star was the Coin Star, awarded to the player who held the most coins at one point during the game. That star went to Danielle, who at one point had 175 coins, assuring her the victory.

"Congratulations on your victory" Tucker comgratulated her.

"I have to admit, that was a brilliant play with the big boo" Sam said.

The next bonus star (not that it mattered now) was the minigame star, awarded to the player who won the most coins in mini games. That star was awarded to Sam, who over the course of the game, won 171 coins in minigame. The final bonus star was the Happening Star, rewarded to the player who landed on the most Happening spaces. That went to Danny, who had a total of 2 Happening Spaces.

"Whoop di do!" Danny said sarcastically as even with the star he was in last place. "You know what, game? You and me in the back alley after this, bring a knife!"

With all the bonus stars awarded, the game went into the cinematic victory cutscene where a red Koopa Troopa comes and alerts the players that the villain of the board, Wizard Bowser, is out causing havoc in the forest. A cutscene then shows a green Koopa wandering the woods at night. He gets surprised by a Boo, who quickly leaves. A cloaked figure then comes to help, but it turns out to be Wizard Bowser. He turns the Koopa into a frog, but at that moment, the winner of the game comes to the rescue (that winner of course, being Princess Peach).

Peach turned the Koopa back to normal (using the Magic of Truth) and then engaged in a power struggle against Bowser. Bowser lost and was turned into a frog himself before hopping away, leaving Peach to be congratulated by the other players, Toad, Koopa, and the Star.

"Well that's over and done, is our friendship still in tact?" Tucker asked.

"Screw you star stealer" Danny said to him.

"I guess that's a no" Tucker laughed.

"Come on, Danny, nobody likes a sore loser" Dani said.

"I didn't lose, I was screwed over by the game" Danny replied. "But admittedly, I did have fun"

"Maybe we'll have to do this again some other time and this time, let me get in on the action" Valerie said.

"Maybe so, but for right now, I've had my fill of Mario Party" Sam said as the friends turned off the game.

As they turned off the game, Danny shouted "SCREW YOU GAME!" one last time.

The final stats at the end of the game overall: Mario- 2 stars and 106 coins (4th), Peach- 7 stars and 37 coins (winner), Luigi- 3 stars and 22 coins (3rd) and Yoshi- 5 stars and 153 coins (2nd).

Alright, I was watching TRG and Brainscratch Commentaries when this idea sprang into my mind. I went through the effort of playing through a full game of Mario Party to help write this chapter to make sure it was as accurate as possible. (There are still a few errors unfortunately) Now this was just one of 2 little fun filler chapters. Or at least I planned for there to be two filler chapters before writer's block kicked. Unfortunately, that means that the story's going on a little hiatus until I can get my groove back/ find spare time to work on. Hopefully that won't take too long. Any I've been Timothy D and I hope you enjoyed, peace out!
