Author's note: Not the Christmas episode! I repeat, not the Christmas episode. That will be next episode. Last episode seemed rather successful word count wise so let's see if we can keep that going. Next episode will be the Christmas episode, followed by the New Year's episode. The mid season will be pushed back to episode 12 of this season to accommodate for the rest of the interviews as they will not happen in the next episode or the one after that. First review is from Stripe the Hedgetiger.
"Can you please get Akechi to recruit Dr. Eggman and have him be sent to attack the mansion with Metal Sonic so Shard could have an opputunity to come in the mansion, even just as a temporary resident. PLEASE?"
I really am sorry but I want to give some other villains that haven't shown up, or get properly featured yet a chance. I can get Dr. Eggman in season 6 but not this one. Next review is from Generic Smash Bros Fan edited a bit since some of them weren't really questions.
"1: I started thinking a few things ... several chapters ago, someone mentioned Porky Minch, you said it won't appear until season 5, we're in season 5, that means ...
2: The feelings of Joker / Akira / Ren towards Futaba will have some importance in the future (I don't remember well if that really happened, don't pay much attention to WOL)
3: I guess you will update the list of residents of your profile, right?
4: Ryu and Chun-li returned, I guess it's good to have them returned
5: Now I realize that there must be more than 50 left to interview.
6: What really happened with Shantae in WOL? As I recall, they were going to think about whether to put her as a resident, apparently they decided not to include her
7: Well, now with these new residents I have even more character ideas, but I will tell them when they have interviews, which can be in several months (Maybe up to a year)."
1. Porky Minch was part of my original plan for Season 5 but he was unfortunately cut due to not fitting well in the plot of the current plan. I will have to get him in a later season.
2. That will be a plotline I'll divulge into in Season 6. The phantom thieves already have a focused plotline for this season.
3. Yes, my profile has been updated to include the new residents.
4. And they'll be featured in the episode after the New Year's episode too.
5. 52 actually looking forward to writing Tom Nook's.
6. Ah yes just like Akechi I had forgotten that I planned to make Shantae a permanent resident after season 3. I will justify this error with her interview.
7. You can still tell me who those are and I can mark them down for a future appearance in my notes. And it may be well over a year before I decide to do interviews again.
Next review is from Historyfan15.
"If the team competition is happening next episode, here's my hopes are for the Star Wolf trio to come out on top as I feel they deserve a fair chance at victory.
Another thing I had in mind was for the trio, if Leon and Panther stick around for a while, they have this little thing going on where they try to be like the "cool kids" of the Smash Mansion (and no, I'm TOTALLY not imagining them wearing sunglasses in this idea...(yes, I am))."
We'll see what happens this episode for Starwolf. And I'll see if I can have Wolf's team stay well into season 5 for that. Might have then put on sunglasses as they're walking away from an explosion of some kind. Next review is from ultimateCCC.
"Okay can we have someone else with common sense to handle the Portal Gun during these interviews?
Did you see the FF7 Remake trailer? Cloud 'Badass' Strife is back!"
Nope. I have plans for Yoshi whenever Tom Nook gets interviewed. As for the FF7 trailer I have not seen it yet… be right back.
*watches trailer*
Okay so I just watched it, and it looks really good. I'll definitely try to get my hands on that when it comes out next year. Next review is from Nickguppy.
"can cloud make a reference to the final fantasy 7 remake being announced at the game awards? And if sans gets into the mansion, will the pun drums (that's what I've called them) be a thing for him and pit?"
I will make a reference, heck a whole chapter devoted to the Final Fantasy 7 remake when it comes out. Next review is from smasher5.
"Let me Guess. Is the big bad Akira?"
One, I don't know which Akira you're talking about. And Two, no the big bad is not whoever this Akira is. Like I said, you'll get a hint on that in the Christmas episode. Though I have to warn now if anyone does find out who the big bad is, DON'T mention who they are in the reviews. I want everyone who doesn't know when the time comes to be surprised. Next review is from Derick Lindsey.
"Huh wasn't expecting the boomerang to show up here but I did like the twist that it basically was like Manaphy the pokemon where you swapped bodies with someone nearby also do people who swap bodies keep their voices like despite Falco being in Slippy's body he still has Slippy's voice? (also fun fact I was the one who suggested the boomerang idea to Crashguy01 so nice to know I inadvertently made this chapter possible)."
That was you wasn't it, forgot who it was that mentioned it to Crashguy01 in the first place. Also they keep the voice of who they switched with so yes Falco did have Slippy's voice and vice versa for everyone else. Continuing…
"Corrin and Kamui are hiding out at the mansion to avoid ruling over Valla with Azura trying to get them to return to help rule the country although I wonder if she asking any of the Nohr or Hoshido siblings to rule over Valla with the two Corrins at the mansion?"
As of right now I haven't decided who is watching over Valla. I'll figure it out later.
After spinning the wheel for 13 names this is who we're interviewing today.
Gemma (DRAGON QUEST XI)
Flora & Felicia (Fire Emblem)
Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury)
Lilac (Freedom Planet)(fun fact, someone requested her last year, but I didn't do it due to lack of knowledge of the character and series.)
Matthew (Golden Sun)
Spyro (Spyro the Dragon)
Torterra (Pokemon)
Andy Bogard (Fatal Fury)
Elise (Fire Emblem)
Mallow (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)
Iori Yagami (King of Fighters)
Chibi-Robo (Chibi-Robo)
Linkle (Legend of Zelda)
Specifically in that order
Season 5 episode 7: Competition II
(Friday, December 20th, 2019)
Ever since Wolf's crew came to the mansion on Thanksgiving they've been pushing Wolf to try and have a good time with them before the left again. Wolf wasn't so keen on it though, still worried about someone shellbombing them with the fact that he comforted Trucy on Halloween. Even it it was over a month ago he was still worried about it and practically avoided his team on a daily basis and has been doing it for the past few weeks.
Wolf's luck would run out today though as the crew waited outside his door this morning in order to ensure he wouldn't escape. When the leader of Starwolf opened his door he was instantly whisked away by the crew to the courtyard. They had made it to the fountain at the courtyard before Wolf finally wriggled out of Pigma Dengar and Panther Caroso's grasps.
"Wolf, you've been avoiding us for the past month," Leon Powalski said as Andrew Oikonney kept Wolf from ditching again. "Don't you want to spend some time with your crew before we head back at New Year's?"
"I was never one for 'company outings', you know this," Wolf said. He swore he was the only one in the crew that was actually villainous to the highest level.
"Hey, we get it. Someone's still salty about getting blown up by Starfox all the time," Leon said. Wolf had to agree to that, he really wanted to one-up them at some point.
"I guess you could say that." Wolf crossed his arms very salty about constantly losing. "If I could just manage to get one win on my belt I'd be set."
"Well, heads up their coming right now," Andrew said and the others ducked behind the fountain. Wolf followed shortly afterwards. Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy stopped halfway to the fountain and started talking. "What are they saying," Andrew asked Panther.
"You think I know," Panther retorted. He then observed and noticed that Slippy looked really worried about something. Fox looked a little concerned himself. "Must be something important if they're actually paying attention to Slippy."
"Powalski, analysis(1)," Wolf said to Leon in a shouting whisper. Leon then pulled out a device and a pair of binoculars. Leon turned on the device and put it on the fountain while he looked at Starfox through the binoculars.
"So the portal barrier breaker just went missing," Falco said to Slippy in disbelief. "Just like that." Falco snapped his fingers to emphasize how it disappeared from Slippy description.
"Yes, I actually organized everything in my room to look for it. I found nothing," Slippy said, distressed by the whole thing.
"I can vouch for him on that I oversaw him doing it," Peppy said. "I can only imagine that Wolf's crew had something to do with its disappearance."
"Can we be sure about that," Fox asked Peppy. "Wolf has avoided his crew for the past month. I don't why know why he did that, but I doubt he just joined up with his crew again now to steal the device." Wolf grinned, he had a nice little plan brewing up in his head.
"Follow my lead boys," Wolf said. He then jumped up from his hiding place and yelled, "You better believe I've joined up with my crew again!" Starfox looked behind them as the rest of Starwolf got up. Not entirely sure where this was going.
"We-were you spying on us this whole time," Falco sputtered out in shock. They had concealed themselves well, except for the listening device still on the fountain.
"Yes, we have. And it seems by you worry and concern that this device is very important. I had no idea," Wolf said. Andrew realized where Wolf was going with this.
Andrew Oikonney (Starwolf member): I realized where Wolf was going with things after he said that. It definitely turned into something.
"Wait you did steal it," Slippy said in shock. He thought it was someone else, someone that was in his room very recently.
"Yes, that was me. And here's what is going to happen if you truly want that device back," Wolf said menacingly. "A competition between my team and yours. If we win I keep the device and can use it at my own risk."
"And if we win you give the device back," Fox said, finishing Wolf's thoughts. Fox thought about it for a a second before saying, through gritted teeth, "Fine, we'll entertain this idea."
"Woah, bro! Hold on there, are you sure that's the best idea," Falco said with deep concern. And that concern was actually for Wolf's safety. "You know the risks of that thing."
"It'll be a normal arwing battle over the ocean. We can ask Meta Knight if he can have the Halberd act as a platform for any falling ships."
"Oh no, no arwings or wolfen," Wolf said, shocking everyone else. "No way am I going to compete in something I know I'm going to lose. This is a different competition."
"What's this I hear about a competition," Cilan said, practically overhearing everything. "I have some challenges that can act as the events for you guys, if that's the case."
Fox and Wolf looked at each other before nodding in agreement. "Yes, Cilan that is what what you hear. My team against his, any ideas," Fox asked.
"Well, lucky for you there's still a lot of things that need to get before Christmas next week. I can give you five challenges based on things that still need to get done. It can be a best 3 out of 5."
"I can help with any challenges you don't get to if things get cut off early," Peppy offered to the Pokémon connoisseur. Cilan nodded in thanks.
"I think we can have our first challenge take place in the living room. There's a tree that's missing four boxes of ornaments." Cilan then led the two teams away from courtyard and into the mansion.
Cilan (Pokémon connoisseur): Since Joker and his team were fired from decorating due to the whole dynamax fiasco no one took up putting on ornaments after the tree was put up. I'm sure Mario will appreciate this.
The office was once again set up for more interviews. This time Mario has recruited Link, Corrin, and Kamui to help out this time. Link having done this before helped with explaining the process to the prince and princess. At the same time, Mario was curious as to why they decided to help.
Corrin (Dragon Prince): Kamui and I honestly wanted to get away from Azura. We didn't want to be confronted with having to rule Valla so soon in her stay.
"Okay, remember. Unless I say-a otherwise, no one-a else touches the portal raygun," Mario reminded Link, Corrin, and Kamui before sitting down in his own seat. The buzzer went off and Mario opened the doors to let in Gemma. "Okay, Gemma. We don't-a have much info on you-a other than that-a you were a guide to Eleven during his-a adventures to Yggdrasil."
"Yes that is true," Gemma answered. "I do also treat him with respect, and I figured there were still some things he needed to know. That's why I came."
"Well, we can easily make you a temporary resident if that was the case," Link said looking at Gemma's file. There was a dog on there, but the champion decided not to ask since it wasn't with Gemma. "As far as a permanent resident go there's not much going for you, other than Eleven's recommendation for you."
"I whole-heartedly agree," Kamui said. She then got up from the table and handed Gemma a map of the mansion. "You can wander around the mansion until we're ready to announce who got in. Even if you don't make the cut we can make you a temporary until further notice."
"Thank you very much for the opportunity," Gemma said before turning to leave. As she opened the door the four heard barking. "Sorry, that's my dog," Gemma said before closing the door.
The buzzer then went off again and Mario opened the door to let the person in. It was two maids, one with blue hair, the other with hair the camera crew can't distinguish the color that both Corrin and Kamui recognized. "Flora, Felicia!(2) What are you two doing here," Corrin said shocked.
"I thought you two were taking care of the castle in Nohr," Kamui questioned. She was glaring more a Flora than Felicia.
Flora sighed, saying, "We were, until Azura called us here to act as backup for getting you two back to Valla."(3) It was bluntly said and Link and Mario were just silent, both cautiously looked at the dragon prince and princess.
Corrin and Kamui were silent as well until the former cleared his throat. He then lunged for the portal raygun the very next second, but failed as Link pulled it away. "Oh come on. Azura is already here it's only a matter of time until all of our siblings are here." Corrin then continued to try and get the portal raygun, eventually tripping on a leg of the table.
"Would now be a good time to mention that Elise and Sakura are also signed up for interviews for the New Year," Link whispered to Mario as Corrin got up. Mario gave a quick no as he took the portal raygun back and put it in his imaginary pockets.
Felicia had giggled at the shenanigans of Corrin while Flora rolled her eyes. "If you must know, we also came here slightly on our own accord." Felicia stopped giggling as she remembered what her sister meant.
"Oh that's right! We also came because as far we know you have no one to keep the mansion in shape. So here we are," Felicia said with excitement.
"There is someone who cleans the mansion actually, that's Mr. Game and Watch," Link pointed out. Immediately crushing the second reason the two maids had for coming. "And he does a good job two."
"Yeah but is he really all that efficient," Corrin questioned. "He may get the job done but it took him about two weeks to finally get to fixing that hole in the roof."
"Corrin don't help them. It's bad enough Azura's here," Kamui said, silently scolding her brother.
"Oh come on, it's not like Mario going to consider someone else from our home for residency," Corrin whispered to Kamui.
"Hm, that is-a good point a Corrin. Honestly, I was-a about to send-a then home myself," Mario said. Kamui then deeply flared at her brother as he sunk into his seat.
At that point Link has gotten up and handed the two maids a map of the mansion saying, "You two are free to wander around. After we finish making our choices you can go to the front porch of the mansion."
"Thank you so much. We look forward to serving you," Felicia said as Flora began to walk out of the office. She quickly added, "If we get in of course," before leaving herself.
"You two really don't want to go back to Valla do you," Link said as he returned to his seat. "I don't see the big deal honestly." Corrin silently cursed at Link as the buzzer went off again. Mario pressed the button to open the doors and let in Mai Shiranui. "And nope."
"What do you mean no," Mai said as Mario took out the portal raygun.
"It's-a one of the new mansion rules that-a no one gets when-a they move in," Mario said. "Mansion rule number 96# never let Mai Shrianui in as a resident." Mario then proceeded to blast a portal below Mai's feet and dropped her through. The portal then closed behind her. "Ah, that-a was fun."
The buzzer didn't go off afterwards after that. "Guess we're going to have to wait for the next one to get here," Kamui said. They then waited patiently.
Toon Link had decided it was now or never. Despite multiple protests from the younger fighters, and Pit, he gathered all of them in the basement. Toon Link was set on attempting to get Sora back with the device, completely ignoring the risks too. "Okay guys, this is it. We go big or we go home," Toon Link said as he quickly tried to find out how to put the device on again.
"Toon Link this is ridiculous we can't possibly do this," Lucas protested as the hero of the wind found the clip again. "You could die if we do this and I won't stand for this."
"I'm sorry you say something." Lucas looked on in disbelief, Toon Link did not listen to anything he just said. Villager just sighed and sat down in defeat.
"Lucas there's no way we're going to stop him," Ness said. "Heck I don't think Mario can even stop him if he wanted to."
"Even if we brought Mario down here to talk sense into him he's still occupied by the interviews," Pit said. And the angel raised a good point too, Mario would be focusing everything on that right now. Pit then held his thought, "Maybe I could get Viridi to talk some sense into him."
Viridi (Goddess of Nature): If it's humans that are involved, I'm not even going to do anything.
"Not sure if that would work or not," Ness said.
What they didn't know was that a figure from the top of the stairs was watching them closely. "What are they doing," questioned the figure.
"Okay, time for you first challenge," Cilan said as he had both Starfox and Starwolf in the living room where the very tall Christmas tree was. The lights were on it and lit up but there were no ornaments. "This is how your challenge is going to work. I already planned on doing this myself, but you guys can do is lighten the load for me," Cilan explained.
"What exactly do you mean by that," Slippy asked, raising his hand too.
"Exactly as I said it." Cilan gestured over to four boxes, all of the same size. "Each team will get two boxes. You will take the ornaments out of them and put them on the tree. If you break the ornament you have to wait for one minute before continuing. Once an ornament is placed you have the option to move it to another spot. Time runs out once both teams have all of their ornaments on the tree."
"Anything else we need to know," Wolf asked.
Cilan nodded saying, "The tape on the floor their separates the areas where the teams will put their ornament on. Only three of you will be able to participate as a way to keep things fair. Suggest you choose the one that you can trust the most with the ornaments."
"I already know that's gonna be me," Slippy said preparing to step forward…
Only to be pulled back by Fox who said, "Oh no, we need to be smart about this. Slippy I think it's best if you sit this one out. We'll let you join in the next challenge." Slippy was going to protest, but nodded instead understanding.
"I'm gonna sit this one out," Wolf said to his crew. He knew what was going to happen if they didn't have his guidance, he just wanted to be entertained. At least he can risk losing a challenge for now.
"I'll sit out too," Leon Powalski said as he followed Wolf to the couch and sat down next to him.
"I guess it's up to us," Andrew said eagerly.
"Let's show Starfox we're not to be messed with," Pigma said, already staring at the two boxes he planned for his group to grab.
"Okay if you've decided who will be participating then get the two boxes for you team and wait for my command," Cilan said as he separated the four boxes into groups of two. Fox went and picked up the ones on the left while Panther picked up the ones on the fight. Once the two teams were ready Cilan said, "Okay! Go!"
"Falco, go get a ladder from the workshop while Peppy and I get started on the bottom," Fox said as he picked up a simple red ball ornament. Falco nodded and quickly left the room. Peppy picked up a green ball ornament and followed after Fox.
Panther, Andrew, and Pigma ended up deciding that they didn't need a ladder and just grabbed as many ornaments as they could and began to put them on the tree. At some point Pigma and Andrew bumped into each other, causing one of them to break a glass ornament of Mario. "Okay, that's your fault," Andrew said to Pigma.
Cilan then blew a whistle that no one knew he had and shouted, "Starwolf, one minute hold!" Panther glared at the two as he brought the ornament he was about to put on back down.
Wolf: Yeah, I knew they were going to mess this one up bad. They don't realize that Cilan has a special rule he kept quiet about. Starfox knows about it already though. Even if we lose this it's the first challenge so not really risking much.
"Okay, from now on. One at a time," Andrew said as he carefully put some ornaments back into the box.
"I've gone all the way to behind the tree Fox, I can't reach much higher," Peppy said. Fox nodded as he put another ornament on the tree.
"I got the ladder," Falco said as he came into the living room with said ladder. The avian pilot then put it on the floor and opened it. After positioning it next to the tree Falco climbed the ladder as Fox tossed up an ornament.
"Starwolf, continue," Cilan said. Panther then started with getting another ornament on the tree.
"We're falling behind. Get as many on the tree as you can before they get the chance to move things around," Panther shouted at Pigma and Andrew.
"I got one," Pigma said holding up an ornament from the box before running around to the back of the tree.
Andrew then grabbed the ornament saying, "Seriously?! Why the back, no one's going to see it." Pigma began protesting as Andrew put the ornament somewhere else.
Wolf then began silently laughing saying, "Oh, such big idiots they are. Pigma was actually doing something smart."
"We're going to want to be sure to actually try in the next challenge," Leon said as Falco placed the final ornament on the tree.
Cilan blew his whistle saying, "Starfox has now put all of their ornaments on the tree and can now move them around!"
"Move it," Panther said as he, Pigma, and Andrew began scrambling to get the last of their ornaments on the tree. Eventually they had them all out and on the tree. "Done!"
Cilan then blew his whistle again saying, "Both teams, leave the tree and return to the couch!" Both teams did so and patiently waited, some more than others. "Now to grade your work. This will be judged on spacing of the ornaments, use of the whole tree, including the back." Starwolf had a realization and looked at Pigma, who had tried to get an ornament on the back.
Just by looking at the tree Cilan said, "I think it's clear that Starfox wins this one. I must compliment being able to not break any ornament while doing that risky toss-and-catch."
"You know that would happen," Andrew said to Wolf. As Cilan began brainstorming the next challenge.
"Yep," Wolf said, "but I will be helping out with the next one no need to worry." Wolf then looked over at Cilan. "So what's the next challenge!"
"Well, I have an idea, but that would be a fifth challenge if we get that far," Cilan said as he continued brainstorming. He then snapped his fingers saying, "Got it! Follow me."
Fox (leader of Starfox): One challenge down, two more to go. We have to get that portal barrier breaker back or I don't know what we're going to do.
Interviews would continue as the buzzer finally went off again. Kamui got her tablet and the character file pulled up and ready as Mario opened the doors. Lilac(4) then walked in to the office. "Okay Lilac, you are a half-dragon from a planet known as Avalice." Kamui then swiped down the file. "And it would seem Mario got lazy with writing this file. There's hardly anything else on here."
"Well, in-a my defense I didn't see her having such a good-a chance of getting into the mansion," Mario said. "I doubt anyone at-a the mansion even knows who she is."
"Well, surprise, surprise Shovel Knight put his name down on recommendations," Corrin said, showing Mario the file. Shovel Knight's name was on it. "He really wants indie diversity in the mansion."
"I say she has a sort of chance," Link said to Mario.
"So am I in or what," Lilac asked as Mario was pressured with making a decision.
Mario got up from his seat and handed Lilac a map of the mansion, "You can-a wander around for-a now. But when-a the time comes, meets us at-a the front of the mansion." Lilac simply nodded and left. "She-a most likely hates me right-a now."
"What could've given you that idea," Link said sarcastically. Mario glared at the champion as the buzzer went off and the doors opened. Letting in Matthew. Link gulped upon seeing the swordsman and uttered, "Oh *bleep*"
"This is going to cause some problems," Corrin said looking at the file. "Matthew you are the son of Issac, another resident here in the mansion. You had your own adventure. Now we need to discuss the main problem with you being here. And that's timeline issues."
"Well, Richter and Simon are here right," Matthew asked. He did raise a good point at that.
"That…is a good point," Link said as he tried to retort. He didn't know to well about this.
"Thing is Matthew, Lucina and Chrom are only here together because Lucina blended time in her world. Simon and Richter is because of circumstances of the tournament and because they are centuries apart," Kamui explained. "While Isaac is here, it's him before you were ever born. You know things that he's not supposed to know."
"Sorry Matthew but since we can't risk the integrity of that-a timeline I'm-a afraid we'll have to terminate your interview here," Mario said as he blasted open a portal under Matthew's feet, dropping him through. The buzzer then went off again as the portal closed, and Mario pressed the button to open the doors.
The one who walked in actually flew in, he was a purple and yellow dragon. When he landed he said, "Good to finally be here Mario. This place looks pretty cool."
"Good of you to finally join us here Spyro," Link said as he pulled up the character file. "Anyway you are a dragon from a place known as the Dragon Realms. You've been on many adventures, including one with Crash, and have a higher chance of getting into the game, unlike some other people we're interviewing."
"Yeah I felt like I would have a good enough of a chance as Crash, seeing as he did get in and stuff," Spyro said.
"That is true, but we decided to not give out freebies anymore in fears of being biased," Mario said. He then got up and handed a map of the mansion to Spyro. "You can wander around the mansion until it's-a time to get back to-a the front of-a the mansion.
"Cool, thanks guys," Spyro said before flying out of the office. The buzzer did not go off again after that.
"Whelp, I'm gonna go to the bathroom," Corrin said getting up and leaving the office.
Cilan had taken Starfox and Starwolf into the kitchen this time for the second challenge. "Okay, time for the second challenge. Which is gingerbread house making! Or more specifically decorating."
Cilan had divided the center countertop into two sections. Both already had everything for the house and the gingerbread was already set up. "Palutena made these a couple days ago. What you guys will be doing is decorating these two houses. I will of course score them on how well they look. If you did not participate in the last challenge you will go in this one."
"Ha, okay boys we have an advantage here," Wolf said as he led Leon and Andrew over to their section. "I personally decorated the gingerbread houses for three years until I left the mansion after Brawl ended."
"You do know how to make good cookies," Leon commented.
"Exactly, I know just what a gingerbread house needs to make it perfect." Wolf then began to order things in what would go on first. "Andrew I want you to keep track of how much of what we have left."
"Got it sir," Andrew said as he got into position.
"Leon, I want you to move anything I put on in the event you don't feel like I put it in the right place," Wolf said. Leon saluted to it. "Hopefully we can win this one and keep the points coming."
"Okay everyone ready," Cilan said as both teams got ready. Once it looked like both teams were good Cilan said, "Okay, you'll have a good five minutes to put on as many toppings as you can. Ready! Go!" Cilan blew his whistle as the teams went off. Wolf started with the gumdrops and placed them in a perfect line at the top of the roof of the gingerbread house.
Meanwhile, Slippy went ahead and ate a whole bowl of gumdrops as Fox grabbed at least ten out. "Mmm, delicious. I wonder how the rest of this will taste."
"Slippy, don't eat the toppings," Fox shouted as he put the remaining gumdrops on. "You're lucky Cilan wants everyone to participate or we wouldn't have let you do this one either."
"I got the frosting," Falco said as he took some of it out of a container and began to construct a door. All while using his feathers, not going to score well with Cilan there.
"Pattern the green and red frosting using these," Wolf said as he handed two frosting squeezers(5) to Andrew and Leon. "Just on the roof, no where else. Meanwhile, I'll be putting some toppings along the bottom and make a door and windows." Th two team members nodded and got to work, being as careful as possible. Cilan smiled as the show of leadership.
Cilan: Seems like Wolf is the one that pulls the team together and makes sure they do things right. They won't have his leadership in the next challenge so we'll see how it goes.
Eventually, Slippy has eaten half of the toppings for Starfox, causing Fox and Falco to rush to get theirs finished before the humanoid toad finished the rest. It ended up making their gingerbread house a bit sloppy. Cilan soon blew on his whistle saying, "And that's time, everyone take a step back so I can view the designs." Both teams did so and Cilan looked at Starfox's first, which looked like a jumbled mess of things. Cilan then looked at Starwolf's and, while not quite finished said, "The second challenge goes to Starwolf."
"We need to win two more challenges boys, let's keep this up," Wolf said. Falco and Fox were glaring at Slippy, clearing blaming him for their failure internally.
Toon Link had found out how to get the device on, and Villager returned with a portal raygun. The hero of the wind went ahead and put the device on his chest and turned it on. Ness knew this was the last chance they were going to get to convince Toon Link to stop and said, "Toony think about what you're getting yourself into. You could potentially get stuck in the same world as Sora if you do this."
"We have to try," Toon Link said as he grabbed the portal raygun from Villager. "If we figured out how to get Sora back imagine what everyone will think. We'll be heroes the ones who brought Sora back from the dead."
"Well, yes. If you don't become dead first that is," Lucas said.
"Yeah, okay. I have to tell someone," said a figure watching over the small group.
"Rayman, what are you doing," Shulk asked Rayman as he walked down the stairs to him with Fiora in tow.
"What are they doing," Fiora whispered to Rayman, pointing at Toon Link. "This isn't some sort of normal mansion trouble right?"
"It is, those guys are trying to convince Toon Link not to use that device," Rayman whispered back while pointing at the device on Toon Link's chest. "That device can potentially break the barrier from a world for about five minutes before forcing the portal to close. If Toon Link makes it through and doesn't come back he's stuck."
"What are they trying to accomplish." Fiora looked very concerned for Toon Link's safety.
"They're going to try to bring Sora back from the world he's trapped in. A terrible idea in reality, though, it seems like a pretty sound one on paper."
"But didn't it get silently decided that we would wait to see what would happen in the DLC before we act," Shulk asked Rayman.
"They didn't get the memo apparently," Rayman said sighing. "I think we have to interrupt the interviews and get Mario.
"Okay, let's do this," Toon Link said, greatly alarming Rayman, Shulk, and Fiora. When Toon Link attempted to enter the destination an angry beep noise was heard. "What, it's blocked. I don't get it, Master Hand was trying to get Sora back before he left why is it blocked."
"Okay, we have time. Let's go," Fiora said as she went up the stairs. Rayman and Shulk follwed closely behind.
Interviews would continue as the buzzer went off again. "Okay, who am I going to be describing this time," Kamui said excitedly as Mario let the person in. It was revealed to be Toterra as the pokemon entered, nearly breaking the doors down. "Uh, Mario there's nothing on here for Torterra."
"I know, that's-a because I planned on-a sending Torterra back," Mario said as he grabbed the portal raygun and blasted it below Torterra. The grass and ground-type then fell through, the portal closed behind. "We-a already have a fully evolved starter from-a Sinnoh here." The buzzer went off again and Mario opened the doors. "You-a have this one."
Kamui looked on as none other than Andy Bogard walked into the office. "Huh, Andy Bogard okay. Anyways, Andy you are Terry's brother, a fighter here at the mansion. And someone who would want a familiar face here. At a young age you went over to Japan after your father died in order to differentiate yourself from Terry," Kamui explained.
"Yes, that is true, thankfully Geese Howard met his justice for his crimes," Andy Bogard said. He crossed his arms patiently waiting to see how this interview would go. "As far as I know, my brother is the only one from our home here, so naturally I came to give him a familiar face here in the mansion."
"Ah, coming to help your brother. Very nice," Link said. "Anyways, you got a recommendation from your own brother, commenting with it saying that he highly suggests it.""
"I say he meets all of the necessary requirements," Corrin said. And at Mario's nod Corrin went ahead and handed a map of the mansion to Andy. "You can wander around the mansion, maybe find your brother too. Just be sure to be at the front of the mansion when your ready." Andy Bogard nodded before leaving the office.
"I'm reading this next file right," Link asked Mario as the red plumber responded to the buzzer going off again. Mario nodded as Elise walked in. Link looked to his right to see both Corrin and Kamui with their mouths agape.
Corrin (The dragon prince): I swear Azura staged this one. She's pulling all the precaution she sees necessary to get us back.
Kamui (The Dragon princess): Stay strong Corrin. We can push our way through this one.
Knowing full well this would be awkward, Link said, "Elise, you are a princess of Nohr and a sister of Corrin and Kamui. In battle you mainly focus on healing magic, making you a key member in most battles. When it came to Corrin and Kamui's cause in what became known as revelations, it took awhile for you to join."
"Yes, well Iago had informed me that they couldn't anymore of the royal family to what they were doing," Elise said. "I felt like I didn't have a choice then."
"Well, I don't-a see you having a good-a chance, we already went through someone else from-a your world today," Mario said. He then decided to push forward. "I'm-a also inclined to believe that-a you only came here to help Azura further her plans to get Corrin and Kamui back to Valla." Mario went for the portal raygun right away and dropped Elise through a portal.
"We could've given her a ride back on the bus," Kamui said in shock as the portal closed. The buzzer was not going off after that. "Guess we're waiting again."
Cilan had taken both teams to the auditorium, where it was littered with trash from the viewing of the game awards earlier in the week. "Okay, third challenge! Everyone will participate in this one. What you'll be doing is cleaning up all the trash everyone left behind her, your sections are divided into nine equal spaces, all to accommodate your members. First team to finish properly cleaning their areas will win this one," Cilan explained. He then handed off brooms to each of the team members of Starfox and Starwolf.
"This should be easy, just some cleaning," Falco said. Who would probably regret his words in a couple minutes.
"Okay, everyone grab a section to sweep," Cilan shouted and everyone rushed off. After looking everyone in respective spots he stated, "Okay, when you believe you're done raise your hand and I will evaluate your area. If I decree you are done then this green flag will be placed on your broom." Cilan held up said green flag and showed it to the others.
"Okay, go row-by-row, leave nothing behind," Fox said to Falco, Peppy, and Slippy. "We can't afford to lose this one.
"Aren't we at a disavantage because of numbers and space Wolf," Leon asked the leader of Starwolf.
"Yes, we are. But what we lack in easiness we can make up with in speed. Just make sure you go row-by-row," Wolf said to Leon. The member nodded and got himself ready
"Your holding the broom the wrong way Pigma," Panther said to Pigma. He then noticed the handle touching the floor and flipped his broom around just as Cilan started the countdown.
"Ready! Go," Cilan shouted and the two teams were off. Falco started speeding through right away, missing some pieces of trash along the way, but felt like it would be fine. Eventually Falco made it through the rows he was assigned to in record time and held up his hand. Cilan walked over and inspected to area with a straight face. He glanced over at Falco, who was arrogantly smirking before saying, "Remember, I want these floors to be spotless!"
Falco was left dumbfounded as Peppy said, "You should be sweeping not catching flies, Falco!" Falco then snapped out of it and got back to work."
After learning that they had to be thorough, Leon started over and picked up his pace too. "Looks like we have a good advantage on time Wolf," Leon said as he made it to his halfway point.
"I'll have to agree with you on that," poor Slippy hardly even knows what he's doing," Wolf said, chuckling as he watched the Toad doing what Pigma would've been doing if he hadn't flipped his broom around. "Fox isn't even helping him."
"All set," Andrew said raising his hand. Cilan walked over and inspected the floors. Andrew's section was a bit easier as not too many people had sat there. Cilan nodded and put a green flag on his broom. Andrew celebrated as Cilan walked away saying, "One section down guys!"
After a few more minutes the sections had come down to Pigma and Slippy, the latter just figuring out how the broom worked. It was practically neck and neck for the two. Just as Pigma was about to announce finishing Slippy said, "All done!"
Everyone watched on as Cilan inspected and stopped immediately before saying, "You missed a row." Slippy went wide-eyed as he went to finish it. Cilan walked over to where Pigma was just has he finished and inspected it. Cilan then blew his whistle before saying, "And Starwolf wins the third challenge, they need to win one more!"
Falco: Slippy, why did you miss a row, for crying out loud.
Peppy: Falco, you were sloppy in your work too. Messing up like that is what helped Wolf's team catch up in the first place.
Fox: Look there's two more challenges, if we can win the fourth one we can keep things going.
"Okay, everyone follow me to the living room again. I thought of something else we can do," Cilan said. Leading the two teams out of the auditorium.
Interview would continue as the buzzer finally went off again. Mario opened the doors to the office, letting in Mallow. "Well, if-a it isn't Mallow. It's-a been too long," Mario happily said as he saw his old friend.
"Great to see you two Mario," Mallow said.
"You-a once helped me and-a Geno with taking down some-a villains. You're main-a goal was finding your-a actual parents, which you were successful with," Mario said.
"Yep, I was pretty shocked to find out I was royalty." Mallow then realized something and said, "Wait, I practically just abandoned everything to be here. What are my parents going to think they need my help. Sorry Mario, but I shouldn't have come here, send me back."
"Okay," Link said against Mario's protests and sent Mallow through a portal. Mario deeply glared at Link as he swiped the character file to the next interview. Link then looked over to Corrin and Kamui said, "You should be more like him, worried about the state of the kingdom he helps rule over."
"Oh shut up," Corrin said as the buzzer went off again. Mario opened the doors and let in Iori Yagami. "Okay, Iori you are-"
"Actually can we skip to the part where you let me in," Iori said bluntly. He then lit up his fist, "Don't make me use force."
Mario rolled his eyes and signaled for Kamui to soak him. The dragon princess did so and transformed into her dragon form and released a torrent of water. Practically dousing any potential moves he had. "What-a you just did there Iori is-a something we can not-a tolerate."
"Please, you're really going to hand off residency to those other blokes," Iori said. He was then dropped through a portal opened by Mario.
The buzzer went off and Mario pressed the button to open the doors. Shulk, Fiora, and Rayman then ran into the office and carried off Mario and Shulk quickly said, "Wehavetostoptoonlinkfrommakingabigmistakebeforeit'stoolate." And charged off with him.
Link, Corrin and Kamui sat their in silence as the doors to the office closed. "Okay, what just happened," Corrin asked.
After giving Mario the rundown of what was going on the four had made it to the basement just as Toon Link figured out how to bypass the block. "Okay here we go," Toon Link said as he blasted a portal opened just as Mario, Shulk, Fiora, and Rayman made it down to the basement.
Shulk was then dazed for a few moments as he had a quick vision. Shulk's eyes widened in horror as Toon Link began to take a running start into the portal and shouted, "Toon Link don't!'
The younger fighters looked behind them to see Mario and the others just as Toon Link jumped into the portal. Mario became infuriated and shouted, "What-a do you all think your-a doing. Don't-a you realize the risks behind that-a thing!"
"We were trying to tell him that," Popo said in his defense.
"We didn't succeed," Nana said in defense. Mario then looked into the portal. "Mario, he's not gone is he?"
"Just wait for it," Mario said as he stepped out of the way. Shulk got what was going to happen and led Pit out of the way too. A couple seconds later Toon Link came rocketing out of the portal and crashed into the base of the stairs. Mario then stood over the hero of the wind as he woke up. "So did-a you enjoy going against-a mansion rules?"
"Mario," Toon Link shouted in shock, scrambling to his feet. Fiora walked over and ripped the device off Toon Link. "I can explain!"
"I need-a to scold you first for-a risking your safety and-alife like that," Mario shouted. "Do you have any idea what-a would've happened if-a you did make it?! Five minutes and you would've been lost to us. Do you really want-a to put that-a burden on me?!"
"Well, why did you guys just stop and not try to perfect that device," Toon Link shouted back at Mario.
The temporary man of the mansion facepalmed in frustration. "Because we-a decided to see what would-a happen in the upcoming DLC before acting on-a anything. There's a good chance we can-a risk a world's integrity if we take people from it when they're supposed to be in it."
"The developers have a plan Toon Link, we have to let them do it," Shulk said. "Only when the game is completely free of DLC we can act."
"I didn't want-a to do this but I'm-a putting each and-a every one of you on-a grounding after Christmas," Mario said. The younger fighters nodded in understanding before slowly leaving the basement, the last one out was Rayman.
Mario: I can't stop-a myself from cracking under the pressure of everything. We're-a just getting more and-a more chaotic as time goes on-a.
Cilan had both teams back in the living room. The pokemon connoisseur was putting multiple terribly wrapped secret santa gifts into two separate piles. When done he said, "Okay, this is your fourth challenge!"
"Wrapping presents that are already wrapped," Andrew guessed.
"Well, something like that, two of you from each team will work together on this one. While we managed to get secret santa gifts for the one we were assigned to, not all of us are good at gift wrapping," Cilan explained.
"You can say that again," Fox said examining the two piles. "I've seen Pit literally do better than that, and on his own too."
"What you'll do is that you're going to go one present at a time. You're going to rip open the wrapping and rewrap the gift. Presents that are for you guys specifically are not in these two piles by the way. However finishes all the presents first, and actually wraps them properly or at least makes them presentable wins."
"Okay, Falco, Peppy, you guys can do this one," Fox said to the two team members. "Mostly because I think the present I wrapped for Decidueye is in there somewhere."
"You can count on us bro," Falco said as he walked over to the table he and Peppy were going to work at.
"Leon, Andrew, you guys take care of this one," Wolf said. "None of us are too good at wrapping gifts. But you two do the best work."
"We won't let you down Wolf," Andrew said as he and Leon walked over to their table.
"Starfox has the pile on the left. Starwolf has the pile on the right. And remember, one gift at a time," Cilan said as the duos got into position. "On your marks! Get set! Go!" Cilan blew his whistle and Falco took a dashing start and grabbed the first one with Leon close behind.
"Okay let's crack this bad boy open," Falco said as he opened the first one. It was a frying pan. "I can see how this was terribly wrapped." Falco look at the tag and it showed the names. "This was for Kawasaki, it was from Zero."
"Hmm, I think I can figure this one out, go get the tape and bow," Peppy said as Falco quickly looked at their table and found said items.
"This one is for Diddy Kong," Andrew said looking at the tag. The gift was a box, presumably with something banana themed in it. "This should be rather easy."
"Yep," Leon said as he rolled out wrapping paper and cut it. He then placed the box in the center of the paper and carefully folded it up over the box.
"Who do you think is winning this one so far Fox," Wolf said to his bitter rival.
"Gotta be honest it seems pretty tied so far," Fox said as he examined his own team and Wolf's. "They're both almost done with the first present."
"Heh, I gotta admit this is pretty fun. Never had a friendly competition like this."
"I wouldn't say friendly, we're doing this so we can get that device back remember," Slippy said to Wolf.
"Confession time. I lied, I don't have it, I just said I did so I could do this competition. I wanted to at least get one win on you guys. And not by you guys throwing the challenge."
"Well, if you don't have it then who does," Fox questioned. Wolf could only shrugged. Fox sighed saying, "Guess I'm going to have to hope someone else took care of it."
Both teams eventually made it to the final two presents. Leon pulled out a good amount of wrapping paper and cut. When trying to get it over the box he couldn't. "Great, I messed up. Didn't get enough wrapping paper."
"This is our chance go, go, go," Peppy shouted at Falco as they worked double time to get the present wrapped. After slapping the bow and tag on Peppy shouted, "Finished!" Leon and Andrew continued in the event that they messed up in some way.
Cilan went over inspected the five gifts that we rewrapped. Cilan blew his whistle and said, "Starfox wins the fourth challenge! Both teams are now tied."
"So what's the last challenge," Panther asked.
"Glad you asked, this will be for Fox and Wolf only," Cilan said as he pulled out two costumes from behind him.
Wolf has a face of dread as he said, "You've got to be kidding me."
Mario had yet to return to the office after the scene in the basement. When the buzzer went off Link, Corrin, and Kamui were forced to carry on without him. Link pressed the button to open the doors and let in the tiny Chibi-Robo. "Aw, he's so cute," Kamui said looking at him.
"We don't have much to say about this guy, other than that he was recommended by R.O.B. of all people. And that he is a requested character for the tournament. So he has a good chance," Corrin said.
"I'm willing to say his reason from coming is to give R.O.B. a robot buddy," Link said. Chibi-Robo looked confused so this was most likely not his reason for coming to the mansion. He can't really voice it anyway.
Kamui got up from her seat and picked him up and handed him a small nap of the mansion. "Okay, you can wander around the mansion until we're ready to announce who got in. Just don't get crushed." Kamui then put the robot down and it walked out of the office.
The buzzer went off and Link opened the doors to let the final one in. He then did a double take as he saw who it was. "Wow, she looks like you Link."
"I'm sure he was well informed of me though," said the girl. He had a green hood on her. Kamui felt like she saw crossbows in her belt.
"I was," Link said as he recovered, "doesn't make it any less shocking. Corrin, Kamui, this is Linkle. A female version of me I guess I don't know specifics. I do know that Impa and Lana both know her and the latter recommended her for residency."
"She's from that warriors style game that Joker is getting next year," Corrin asked. The champion then nodded. "Hmm, interesting."
"Will it increase my chances if I tell you that I only came because Lana wanted me to," Linkle asked, curious of such things.
"Nope," Link said as he fired the portal raygun and dropped Linkle through. "Ah thank goodness, You two can make the final decisions, I need to head out and get the gift I plan to get for Zelda." The champion got up from his seat and began to walk away.
Only for Mario to come back and grab Link's arm saying, "Nope. You're-a helping us with deciding who gets to-a stay." Mario then sat Link down and began going over option with Corrin and Kamui.
Link (Champion of Hyrule): There were many possible choices but only five of them get to stay.
Cilan had brought the two teams into the game room where mostly the younger fighters were, after getting chewed out by Mario. Cilan had at least six of them divided in half by two separate lines. "Okay, both Fox and Wolf are ready Cilan," Falco told the pokemon connoisseur. "And I can assure you one of them wishes to not be here right now."
"I think I can tell who that is, bring them out here," Cilan told Falco and the avian pilot quickly left the game room. Cilan then cleared his throat to get the others' attention. "It is with great pride that I present to you, the two competeing Santas."
Cilan moved out of the way as Fox entered first in a full-blown santa costume. He even had the beard. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas everyone," Fox said as he went over to his seat.
Wolf then came in, who looked to be 110% done with this competition. He didn't even wear the beard, the nerve of the guy. "Hohoho," Wolf said with hardly any expression as he trudged over to his seat.
Falco(The wingman): I think it's safe to say that this challenge is already decided.
"I will be scoring you two based on the fighters with the most positive reaction from your work. You'll be going one at a time, Fox is first." Cilan then ushered Fox's first guest up onto the leader of Starfox's lap.
It was Pit of all people. Cilan didn't pick him based on age, but mostly because he was one of the people in the mansion with the most christmas spirit. "Okay, Santa. I want new wings."
Fox was gobsmacked with this request, along with everyone else in the room. Wolf started silently laughing at what everyone thought the angel was implying. "Um, don't you like the wings you have now," Fox nervously said.
"Why would I like wings I can't fly with, it's totally unfair," Pit said. "If I could finally fly on my own will it can save Lady Palutena so much work." Pit was looking at Fox with pleading eyes.
"Um, I'll see what I can do," was all Fox could say to this.
"Thank you," Pit said as he got off Fox and left the room with glee.
Ganondorf (Great king of Evil): I don't think Pit even realized what he was originally implying when he said he wanted new wings.
Cilan cleared his throat before saying, "Wolf you next."
Lucas attempted to sit on Wolf's lap, only to get pushed away by the leader of Starwolf who growled, "Get back." Wolf then slumped in his seat as Lucas began crying. Leaf quickly came over and took him away.
"Can't Wolf just man up for it, just once," Leon said in frustration. "We're already on our way to losing, may as well try."
"There's nothing we can do, he always was the cold one," Panther said. "I don't think he's going to soften up to anyone." What the member of Starwolf didn't know is that there was a certain adopted daughter of Phoenix Wright in Wolf's line.
"Think we're going to win," Slippy said as Ness got up on Fox's lap. "I mean, it looks like it is really leaning towards us."
"With Wolf acting as Santa," Falco questioned. He then let out a big laugh saying, "I honestly see no way in how he's going to turn this around."
"Hey, you don't know he might surprise you," Pigma shouted at Falco.
"Get off me," Wolf growled at Villager as he did try to get on. Falco then sent a smirk at Pigma, who looked away.
Fox then got the last person in his line on his lap, which was Ness. "Think you can get me a new baseball bat, mine broke last month."
Fox smiled at that, Ness was the one he got for the secret Santa. "No worries, I think it's already been taken care of," Fox said. Ness sent a big smile his way before getting off his lap. Fox then looked at Wolf as if he was saying, "Ha! Beat that Wolf."
Wolf scoffed as he looks forward to see who the last one was. And immediately straightened himself and froze as Trucy Wright nervously got on his lap. Ignoring the looks he was being given rom his teammates he asked, "Um, what do you want for Christmas little girl."
"Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing," Fox said to his team as he returned to them. Falco was just looking wide-eyed before just leaving the room.
Falco: *remembered Halloween this year* Alternate universe, alternate universe, alternate universe, alternate universe…
Trucy looked down, saddened before asking, "Can you get my daddy his job back?"
Wolf was shocked at the request, he knew full well why Phoenix was disbarred, and also knew that it was basically impossible to get back in if he couldn't prove he wasn't the one who forged the evidence. Wolf had to tell her the truth, but gently. "Look kid. I have to be honest, I may be able to bring toys to everyone in the multiverse in one night. But I'm exactly a reality bender, it's too out of my expertise."
"It's my fault he was disbarred though," Trucy softly said, shocking Wolf. He didn't hear this part of the story. "I can't remember what he looked like, but someone gave the evidence to me saying to give it to daddy. And he lost his job because of it, I just want to give him the best christmas ever by getting him his job back." Trucy was sobbing now. Cilan was going to end it right there, but Wolf held his hand, signaling to wait.
"Kid look at me," Wolf said to Trucy. The little girl did so and he wiped away her tears. "If you ask me, I don't think getting his job back is what he wants for Christmas. Christmas is about spending time with families… and friends. Something I need to do myself. I think your daddy would love it if you spend as much time as you could this Christmas, and I believe that's what he wants most of all." Wolf said the last patt smiling.
Trucy smiled back and hugged Wolf tightly. "Thank you Wolf," Trucy whispered in his ear before getting off his lap and happily leaving the room.
"That was.. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen," Cilan said, shedding tears of joy. He then took a deep breath saying, "I'm happy to announce that the winners of this competition is Starwolf."
Wolf's teammates instantly ran over and lifted him up in celebration. "I'm surprised you guys don't think differently of me for being soft to that kid," Wolf said in shock as he was lifted.
"Hey, either way your right. You should really be spending time with your friends at this time of year. I don't think for a second that we're not friends," Andrew said. The other nodded in agreement. They then continued to celebrate and carried Wolf out of the room.
Fox grinned in their direction as they left as Peppy walked over. "Not salty over losing."
"Nah, not at all," Fox said. "If you ask me. I think he's earned this one."
Back at the front of the mansion facing Mario, Link, Kamui, and Corrin were Gemma, Flora & Felicia, Lilac, Spyro, Andy, and Chibi-Robo. Orange was also there, the orange haired inkling wanted to see who would get in. "Okay, this-a is when we decide who will-a be getting into the mansion." Mario held out two envelopes. "The first two go to Flora and Felicia, who will be in separate room and therefore count as two spots."
"We're next to each other right," Flora asked as she and Felicia took the envelopes. Mario nodded. "Thanks." The two maids then walked in.
Flora (Maid of Nohr): We met Mr. Game & Watch. The de facto housekeeper. There was a big problem with communication.
"The third one to get in is a purple and yellow dragon was known as Spyro," Link said. Spyro flew in a loop as a celebration before taking the envelope and walking inside.
Spyro (Dragon savior): Oh yeah, this is something I've been waiting for quite awhile now.
"The fourth one to get in is the younger brother of Terry, Andy Bogard," Corrin said.
"Thank you for the opportunity," Andy said as he took the envelope from Corrin before walking into the mansion.
Terry Bogard (Fighter in America): So my brother got in. Nice to have such a friendly face here.
"And the last one, who I wanted to get in the most is Chibi-Robo," Kamui said and the small robot came forward and carried the large envelope given to him by the dragon princess. He then walked into the mansion.
"Unfortunately, the rest of-a you did not get-a in and-a will have to go home now," Mario said as Kapp'n's bus came in through a portal and opened its doors. "You are-a welcome to-a come back at anytime though.
"I got one person returning Mario," Kapp'n said as the other got on. Blue then got off the bus, having done what he wanted to get done in Inkopolis.
"Hey, Mario. I took care of what I wanted to back home so," Blue started to say but cut himself off as he met eyes with Orange. Said inkling quickly ran into the mansion before she started crying.
Blue (Inkling from Inkopolis): Well, things are about to get complicated.
Author's note: Now to hastily write the Christmas that I already started before posting this. If it's a day late, I'm sorry.
(1) This was worth ripping off the meme 'Kowalski, analysis!" for this gag.
(2) Flora has blue hair. Felicia has the hair I can't distinguish the color of.
(3) I just want to point out now that no fighters will leave the mansion until the 5th DLC is out in February. Since there's no clear end date for DLC, Master Hand would consider it off-season until the next tournament can be decided.
(4) For the sake of a timeline Lilac is taking on her appearance in the yet to be released Freedom Planet 2.
(5) I don't know what they're called.
