Since I was already writing some chapters while waiting for the intended date, I was getting quite impatient, so I decided to post the next story now! Once again, this is a remake of Bowser's Inside Story, but with more characters in it. It's not going to be Sonic characters, sadly. After all, I warned in my previous story's ending that they won't show up here.

Actually, before even coming up with this Saga, I originally planned for Sonic and his friends to show up in this story remake, but once I came up with this final version, this one with the Star Children, I scrapped that because it would make the story too complicated, since the Star Children will be the key characters in this story. Unlike its two predecessors, the female guide will show up quite late in this remake.

Alright, with that said, let's enjoy Bowser's Inside Story! ;)

Chapter 1: Blorbs Crisis

It has been two months since Mario and Luigi alongside their best friends Sonic and Tails saved the past and present Mushroom Kingdoms from an alien invasion by teaming up with their younger selves. Once the infants returned to their period, Sonic, Tails and Amy stayed at the Mushroom Kingdom until their month of visiting was over. So still today, the blue hedgehog and his friends are in their home, Mobius.

Today is a fine and peaceful morning at Toad Town, where all of the Toads were taking a walk and we could hear the birds singing. Of course, past the town is Princess Peach's Castle. Speaking of which, let's take a look inside.

Inside the castle, Princess Peach was at her kitchen, taking out a tray of fresh sugar cookies with white frosting and sprinkles from the oven.

"Ah, they smell so nice." she scented the sweet smell of the cookies as she placed the tray on the balcony. "I'm sure Mario, Luigi and their friends will love it!"

"Hey, princess!" Toadsworth came at the kitchen's door.

"Toadsworth! Have they arrived?" Peach asked. "They sure are fast!"

"Sincerely, my dear." Toadsworth nodded. "Make sure you get ready to receive them at the throne room."

"Thanks. I'll get ready!" Peach replied as Toadsworth leaves the room.

At the castle's entrance, we could see Mario entering at the front gate by doing his famous 'Wahoo!' jump before turning around and calling:

"Come on, guys! Hurry!"

Then, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Wario came in and joined up with Mario.

"Wow, you sure seems excited, Mario!" Yoshi exclaimed.

"Yeah! We took forever to catch up!" Donkey Kong added.

Soon, Luigi came in too, but his entrance was quite pitiful; he was hopping on one leg and he still didn't button up his overalls. But then, he lost his balance and face-planted on the ground with his work boot slipping out of his right foot. He gets back on his feet and slips his boot back in his foot.

"Mario… Why did you have to wake me that early?" he said not amused. "You didn't even gave me time to get dressed!"

"Well, that's because I wanted to meet up with the princess as early as possible!" Mario replied. "And jeez, Luigi! Hurry up and put your pants on!"

Luigi lets out a sigh before he buttons up his overalls. Eventually, a Toad came in and greeted the group:

"Oh! You're actually here! That was quick!"

"That's because Mario here wanted to meet with the princess as early as possible." Wario glared at Mario.

"Oh, shut up!" Mario glared back. "Gosh, why did I even invite Wario along?"

"Anyways, Princess Peach is waiting for you at her throne room." The Toad said as he left.

The group made their way to the throne room, where they found Peach sitting on her throne. They approached her and bowed, with Mario, Luigi and even Wario taking out their caps.

"Am I glad to see you here, boys." Peach said as she stands up from her throne. "I'm surprised to see that you arrived this early, but you came in just at the right time! I have something for you."

She walks to a small desk at the left side where a clean white plate with the sugar cookies was placed on. She picks up the plate and holds it in front of the boys as big smiles showed on their faces upon eyeing at the sugar cookies. "Would you like a sugar cookie?" she asked sweetly.

"Yes!" all of the boys nodded as they each took a sugar cookie.

"Mmm… Yummy cookie, princess!" Yoshi licked his lips after swallowing his sugar cookie.

"Yes, yes, yes! I love sweets!" Wario exclaimed as he takes a bite on his sugar cookie.

"My favorite thing is bananas, but this cookie tastes good!" Donkey Kong complimented.

"I'm glad you liked it!" Peach smiled.

"Say, princess, do you still remember our date at Star Hill?" Mario asked.

"Oh, yes! That date was beautiful, Mario. Thanks again for taking me there."

"You're welcome!"

The group then gathered to have a chat together.

Later…

At Toad Town, a young Toad was making his way back home. Once inside, he calls his mother:

"Mom, I'm home!"

The Toad's mother, who was cooking dinner, turned around to her son and responded:

"Well, hi there, sweetie! Home early today, huh?"

"Ms. Ingletoad just wouldn't stop talking. Blah blah blaaaaaah!" the Toad scolded. "So I snuck out and came home!"

"You naughty little scamp! You'll never grow up into a fine Toad with such bad behavior!" the mother said sternly at him.

"Fiiiiiiiiine, Mom, whatever." The Toad sighed as he takes a seat next to the table. "So, is dinner ready yet?" he asked.

"Yes, dear, it is." The mother answered. "But call your dad before we eat."

"OK!" the Toad replied and went over to his dad and called: "DAAAAAAD! Dinner's ready!" but then, he saw something that didn't seem right. "Dad?" suddenly… "YEEEEEEK!" he let out a shriek, which caught his mom's attention.

"What is it, dear?" she asked once the Toad came back, but he was freaking out.

"It's Dad! He's…"

Before the Toad could finish, earthquakes came in, and all of a sudden, the Toad's father came in by rolling and bursting through the wall, but he was huge and swollen. In a panic, the Toad and his mother rushed out of the house.

"NOOO! HONEY!" the mother shouted in horror.

In an instant, this news spread out in the whole kingdom:

'THE BLORBS!

Mushroom Kingdom Marred by Mystery Malady! The Blorbs! It comes without warning! First, you balloon to blimp size! Then the rolling! You roll away! Oh, the horror of the Blorbs! As of press time, the cause and cure are unknown… Day by day, the number of blorbed Toads swells… Seeing how grave the situation is, Princess Peach convenes an emergency meeting at her castle…'

The conference hall was a long-stretched room with two long blue tables placed across from each other with an aisle going between them. Many Toads, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong were sitting at either table. At the end of the room was a podium with a projector screen behind it, with Peach standing on the podium.

"Oh! How absolutely wretched…" Toadsworth lamented. "Such a thing has never happened in the history of the kingdom!"

"Soon the entire Mushroom Kingdom will get the blorbs... We've gotta find the cause and get this place back to normal!" a Toad declared.

"Yeah, obviously, but we've never dealt with something like this!" another Toad informed. "I have absolutely no idea what to do! I suggest we panic!"

"Pull yourself together, man! We have to do SOMETHING!" an adult Toad demanded. "My son… He's also… He's also got the blorbs!" he begins to sob: "Wah…"

"Princess! We still await…" Toadsworth said.

"Yes… My friends and I sent word to the Star Sprites for help, but… We've gotten no response." Peach replied saddened.

"PARDON ME!" suddenly, a cheery voice of a girl came in.

"Ah, glorious! I daresay our Star Sprite has arrived!" Toadsworth exclaimed.

Then, a small, yellow round flying creature came into the room. "Sorry I'm late! This castle's huge!" it stated.

"THAT is a Star Sprite?" Wario thought while raising an eyebrow.

"Princess… This thing is…what?" Toadsworth asked.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Starlow!" the creature named Starlow greeted. "Peach and her five friends sent word of trouble in the Mushroom Kingdom… So, as a representative of the Star Sprites, here I am! HELLO YELLO!"

"Hello…what…?" Luigi raised an eyebrow.

"I also didn't catch that…" Mario whispered to him.

"Mercy! Such pep! Such verve! Such unswerving confidence!" Toadsworth exclaimed in glory. "So you'll be able to simply cure the blorbs, then! Correct?"

"Oh… Uh… Well…" Starlow murmured.

A few minutes later…

"Hrm… If this is even beyond the power of a Star Sprite…" Toadsworth pondered saddened.

"Well, I did some research on similar afflictions, but… The blorbs is in a class of its own. It seems to be incurable…" Starlow lamented. "If we could just find a cause, we'd have a place to start…"

"The medical staff did what we could to erase the swelling, but as far as we can tell, we can't reverse the effects…" a female intern Toad said.

"You docs gotta do SOMETHING! This is a national emergency!" another Toad shouted.

"Thanks for the news flash! Obviously we want to help!" the intern shouted back in a sarcastic tone.

"Psst… Who is that over there?" Yoshi whispered to a nearby Toad.

"Dr. Toadley's intern." The Toad answered.

"Dr. Toadley?" Donkey Kong questioned.

"He's a really famous doctor. He knows EVERYTHING. He couldn't make it to today's meeting, so his intern is here."

"Hmm…" Mario pondered.

"Well, I have many patients, so you'll have to excuse me." The intern said and left.

"Blast… Doctors are stumped… The Star Sprite is helpless… To whom might we turn?" Toadsworth grumbled.

"Look, I'm really sorry, OK?" Starlow argued. "There are some things that even a Star Sprite can't do! I guess we just give up, huh?"

"Hmph! How insolent!" Toadsworth scoffed.

"Both of you… Calm down." Peach demanded calmly, but also sternly.

"Yeah, what's wrong with you, Toadsworth?!" Toadbert questioned. "There IS someone we can count on, by boogity!"

"Oh! Quite right! Hope endures!" Toadsworth exclaimed. With that, everyone looked at Mario and Luigi.

"Uh… Don't even look at us, everyone; we also have no idea what to do!" Mario protested.

"We might have worked as doctors before, but that doesn't mean we know how to cure an unknown disease!" Luigi threw in.

"Hmm..." Toadbert puzzled, until he remembered something: "I think I might have a clue about where the disease came from." He then takes out a purple book as he speaks: "Now then, going on what little information we've unearthed… The cause MAY be a mushroom sold by a local merchant."

"Oh dear! A mushroom?" Peach said surprised. "You mean to tell me that a mushroom causes the blorbs?"

"Well, yeah, we interviewed all the blorbed Toads we could, and they all said they'd bought Blorb Mushrooms."

"Blorb Mushrooms?" Toadsworth questioned. "Perplexing… Not a local variety, of that I'm quite sure. What sort of rapscallion would sell such a thing?"

"Well, according to one witness, it was a fellow in a cape… All signs point to the suspect not being from this kingdom."

Hearing this, Mario started to have some memories of one of the past adventures: a fellow in a cape, not from the Mushroom Kingdom… Could it really be? That fellow from the Beanbean Kingdom?

"Well… Whoever he is, he's our only lead." Starlow said. "So it's decided! Let's go find him!"

"Master Mario! Master Luigi! And Master Yoshi, Master DK and Master Wario too!" Toadsworth exclaimed. "Your hour is at hand! Go forth and stomp this fellow as if he were Bowser!"

"You got it!" Mario grinned while nodding.

"GWAHAHA!" just then, a very familiar laugh was heard.

"Oh great..." Mario muttered.

"Did someone just page the king of awesome?" none other than Bowser came into the room, scaring the Toads. "PEACH!" he yelled. "So I'm an outcast, huh?! What'd I do to deserve this?!" he then breaks apart the table of the conference room with a powerful punch and stomped his way towards Peach at the podium.

"What are you doing here?!" Peach asked sternly at him. "We're in an important meeting! The kingdom's in danger!"

"Gee, PARDON ME!" Bowser replied roughly. "Guess what? I live here, Your Royal Genius! I've got as much right to be in this meeting as anyone! I mean, right? Help me out here! Toadsworth! Back me up!"

"That… Erm… That's… Well…" Toadsworth stuttered.

"Don't be ridiculous! You have no right to be here! Get out!" Starlow yelled angrily at Bowser.

That's where Bowser opened his mouth to breathe fire at the podium. Luckily, Mario jumped in and managed to catch Peach and carry her out of the way before she could be fried. Luigi, Yoshi, Wario and Donkey Kong also jumped to the side to avoid getting burned too.

"Crud!" Bowser saw his failure and stops breathing fire as Mario jumps back at the now burned podium and glares at him.

"No way in hell I'll let you have cooked peaches for dessert, Bowser!" Mario growled.

"MAAARIO!" Bowser yelled furiously at his archrival. "Are you seriously trying to start with me again?! I hear about this big meeting, and I'm all ready to act nice… But man, the second I see your face, Mr. Nice Bowser is GONE. Yeah, forget your dumb meeting! And if I can't have cooked peaches, then I'll have lasagna instead!"

Bowser breathes a fireball at Mario, but he dodged it and stomped Bowser on the head two times. After a few more dodging flames and stomps, Mario once again manages to defeat Bowser, who collapses on the floor. Well, looks like he didn't even had lasagna.

"What…happened…" Bowser groaned. "Where are my skills? That was not my 'A' game… I mean, I've lost before, but not THAT easily…"

"You did it again, Mario, buddy!" Donkey Kong exclaimed.

"Hold on, what is that?" Luigi noticed something odd on Bowser.

The group looked closely and noticed a golden star glow surrounding Bowser. They noticed Peach's body emitting a golden aura while next to Starlow.

"That golden aura around her… I've seen this before!" Mario thought with his eyes widened.

"Yes! It was my blessing and Peach's star power! It weakened you, didn't it?!" Starlow grinned.

"Whuh… What…" Bowser mumbled.

"All right! Peach! Let's clean up this mess!" Starlow smirked.

Peach smirked back and she lifts her hand, causing Bowser to rise up from the floor. To the boys' surprise, after a swift arm movement, Peach flings Bowser out of the castle, and he was sent flying through the roof somewhere off in the distance. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Wario were in utter shock after seeing this and their jaws dropped.

"Whoa…" Yoshi was speechless.

"Explain to me why she doesn't use this ability more often…" Wario stated.

Peach then walks towards Mario, thanking him:

"You've saved me once again. Thank you."

She then gives him a kiss on the cheek, causing him to sigh in love.

"Typical Mario." Luigi rolled his eyes playfully at Yoshi, Wario and Donkey Kong, in which they nodded in approval.

…Just where did Bowser fly off?

To be continued…

That's the introduction! Quite solid, right? Unlike in the game, I decided to make Mario and his friends arrive earlier than during the meeting so that I can introduce them much more better. Also, this marks the first time I'm adding Donkey Kong and the second time I'm adding Wario in my stories!

Did you know that I finished four chapters of this story? Next chapter coming soon! Please review! I'd appreciate it!
