World 1-3 - Foulwater Falls - Rope Swinging Adventure
"Aaaah… waterfalls." Nyx said, closing her eyes. "So peaceful, blissful, serene…" She let out a soft sigh… before a loud belch was heard, and on top of that, the stench of garlic intruded upon her nose. "…It almost makes one forget there are cretins nearby." She said in a low voice with an annoyed look.
"Excuse me!" Wario chuckled. "Want some?" He asked, handing over to Nyx.
"No thanks, I'd rather not violate my insides with whatever's inside those overalls."
"Suit yourself."
"Oooogh…" Mona groaned, holding on to her stomach. "Oh gods… why do I feel like my stomach is doing a conga line…" Her face turned green. "Mmm… ooooh…!" She moaned.
"I had a feeling that'd happen." Chloe said, opening up her med kit and pulled out some medicine and a water bottle. "Here, take these… it'll help with the food poisoning." She said as Mona reached for it but then her stomach started gurgling.
"Oh… uh… be right back…!" She said as she jumped into some bushes and started puking her guts out as a Banderino walked by to notice what she was doing… and started to run away screaming while turning green himself.
"Oh, food poisoning… we've been down that road before." Xena grimaced.
"I still think Cardin was responsible for that… before he turned nice all of a sudden. I still don't trust him…"
I'm with you, sister.
"…Wait a minute, didn't Iris eat something similar?" Anthony wondered as they turned to the huntress.
"What? I've got a stomach of steel. You gotta have one if you wanna be a big eater like me."
Jade sweatdropped. "That… explains why you never get sick when you gorge yourself."
"Jealous?" Iris smirked.
"…A little bit." She mumbled.
"Ooogh…" Mona moaned as she came back with disheleved hair, quickly taking the medicine that Chloe gave her.
"You ought to rest and take it easy for a while." Chloe advised.
"Good idea…" Mona turned to her team. "Carry me…"
"Wha?!" Anthony said in surprise.
"Do I look like I offer piggybacks?" Jen sweatdropped.
"Oh, Mistress Mona… I'd be honored but I'm not sure if-"
"I got ya!" Camrin said, bending over as Mona climbed on to his back.
"Thanks…" Mona quietly said.
"Aww, how adorable." Zoey smiled.
"That's funny… I always pictured Mona being the one giving her boy a piggyback ride…" Jen chuckled.
"Implying she probably hasn't done that already?" Anthony playfully snarked.
Jen giggled. "Good point."
"Ah, romance…" Chloe smiled.
"Bah! Enough of the sappiness, let's get this going!" Waluigi said.
"Yeah! Let's get this music playing and get this adventure going!" Wario said.
BGM: Foulwater Falls (Wario Land: Shake It!)
"…Did he just…?" Nyx tried to say before stopping herself. "Oh, never mind, let's not worry about it."
"Yeah, best not to think about it. Heheh." Sarge chuckled as they walked ahead where they saw ropes suspended underneath rock celings as the Wario Bros started swinging from the ropes and landing on some poor Banderninos that were completely caught unaware of what was about to happen to them.
The others swung from the ropes as well and landed on the ground as they continued on where they climbed up some steps where Xena would notice a rope swing leading straight into a Warp Pipe. "Oh hello…" She said as she levitated herself toward the Warp Pipe, as it caught the attention of Jen and Nyx as they swung their way over and hopped into the Warp Pipe.
"Hmm… what do we have here?" Xena wondered, seeing some Floating Banderninos. "Looks like target practice."
"Hmm… oh! Xena, look above us!"
Xena looked up. "Oh, hello there… a discolored cube compared to the rest of the dank ceiling?" She smirked and then telekinetically grabbed one of the Floating Banderninos and threw it up, completely destroying it, which in turn caused water to pour in and flood the gap, while also drowning the other two. "Oh, I kinda feel bad for 'em."
"Says the woman who threw one of them into the ceiling."
"Okay, I almost feel bad for 'em." Xena giggled.
"That's better!"
Xena dove into the water right as Jen and Nyx popped out of the Warp Pipe and then Xena emerged from the other side and turned her head. "Oh hey guys!" She waved.
"Why do I have this feeling this water was caused by those two?" Jen asked with a chuckle.
"I wouldn't put it past 'em." Nyx said as they accompanied Xena shortly after and then they opened up the chest… to find an empty water bottle.
"…Really? We're gonna put litter in treasure chests now." Jen said, looking a bit annoyed.
"Well, you know what they say about trash." Xena said, picking it up and then dunking it in the water to fill it up.
Recyclable Bottle: This bottle can be returned to the store to get your deposit back.
"That's… fair, I suppose." Nyx shrugged as they turned around and went back into the Warp Pipe and caught up with the others as they went inside a cave that was filled with waterfalls and enemies.
"What is this, waterfall central?" Sarge asked.
"I'd go with "yes"." Umber said as they walked through while taking care of some Banderninos, where Zoey would find a secret passageway and wandered inside, which also caught the attention of Iris as they walked through and found another chest where the two opened it and… revealed Silver Armor.
"Armor? I'll take it." Iris said, pulling it out but then noticed the shoulders were a bit wide. "…This is meant for a football player."
"Hmm, I wonder if Mistress Mona could wear this. It would put my mind at ease due to her… cheerful recklessness."
Silver Armor: Armor forged of pure silver. Stylish? You bet. Practical? Not in the slightest.
"And yet, I doubt she'd need it." Zoey mused.
"Eh… I'd say keep it." Iris said. "Maybe like, stuff it in your home and put it in a closet or something."
"Maybe." Zoey nodded as they walked out. "Hey Xena, we have something for you to take back to the ship!"
"Hmm?" Xena wondered and saw the armor. "Armor? I don't think any of us needs it." She said as she telekinetically brought it close to her before teleporting it to the Sweet Stuff.
"Wait, I wanna try it out fir-… aaand it's gone." Wario mumbled.
"Too late." Camrin chuckled as they continued on until they reached a dead end that contained a waterfall.
"Waaaah… dead end!" Waluigi said.
"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure." Umber spoke up. "Waterfalls tend to hide something good behind them." He said as he walked through the waterfall and disappeared behind it.
"Ooooh, secret passageway~!" Jade said as they walked through it as they continued up, but then Umber would look behind him and see a treasure chest on a platform. He jumped over to it and grabbed on to the ledge and pulled himself up, unaware of Xena curiously following him.
"Ah, so that's what you were climbing for." Xena said as Umber turned to her with a nod as the two of them opened up the chest and revealed… a heart shaped key.
"Well… that's… unique." Umber said. "Keys in treasure chests, neat, I suppose."
"Wonder what the heart means…"
"Mmm, a heart at the end of the key…" Umber mused. "Key to our hearts?" He guessed, looking at Xena as both of them blushed a bit.
The Key to My Heart: Opens the heart of that special someone. Be your own Cupid!
"That's… a good guess." Xena said, still blushing a bit. "Come on, the others are ahead."
"R-Right." Umber nodded.
"Hoo, is it hot in this body or is it just me?"
You and I both know that he's cute.
"I say we go on a date with him later."
Wh-what?!
"You heard me!"
"Are those two a pair?" Wario whispered.
"Honestly, they ought to just go on a date. They would make a cute couple." Jade responded.
"Two women in one body and one guy. Hope that doesn't get complicated down the line." Sarge said.
"I bet it won't…" Mona groggily said with a forced giggle as they would see two Warp Pipes, one of them being golden. "Ooooh… if I wasn't so sick, I'd be jumping in that shiny Warp Pipe."
"Well, let's go check it out." Camrin said as they hopped inside after freeing the Merfle.
World 1-Secret 2 - Gurgle Gulch - Drain the Moat!
"Whoa, hold up! Don't go into the water!" Sarge said after they got out of the Warp Pipe.
"What's wrong?" Xena asked.
"Those are piranhas!" Sarge said, aiming his shotgun at the Scarracudas and proceeding to shoot them down. "Now they're not."
Umber sweatdropped. "Well, I guess that works." He said as he noticed a switch nearby as he curiously walked over to it and then hit it, causing the moat to drain. "Ooooh, secret passage!"
"Now we're talkin'!" Wario said as he hopped down along with the others as one Scarracuda was flopping around harmlessly… until Sarge shot it.
"Heheh." He chuckled as he walked away while humming to himself.
As they walked, they would see a ladder as they climbed up and would come across a treasure chest. "Alright, let's see what we got here!" Iris said as she opened up the treasure chest… and pulled out underwear. "…Shorts?"
"I think those are boxers." Nyx said.
"Eugh!" Iris dropped it in disgust.
Imperial Boxers: Originally belonged to a gullible and naked emperor. Check out those regal polka dots!
"Honestly, that would explain the polka dots! Ewwww!" Iris complained.
"We could make a fortune off of that." Waluigi said.
"I wouldn't!" Iris shuddered as they continued on where Wario would come across a device.
"What's this?" Wario wondered, curiously climbing on it… and once he got inside, it started to light up and take off running. "WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled, as he was running on water as a result.
"What the hell?!" Nyx yelled in surprise as Waluigi would kneel down to read something.
"Max Fastosity Dasherator." Waluigi read. "…Well, that explains why he's running."
"Max Fast… what?"
Is that even a word? Fastos… whatever it is?
"It is now, I suppose."
"That looks like fun!" Camrin said.
"Babe… as much as I would want to run with you, I don't think my stomach can handle it…"
"I'll be right back then." Camrin said, handing her to Zoey and then kissed Mona on the cheek. "I won't be long." He said as he hopped inside and then sped off. "WAHOOOOOOO!"
"Leave it to the parkour expert to want to try it out." Anthony chuckled.
"That's making me exhausted just watching him run on the water." Jen sweatdropped.
"Oh Camrin, what am I gonna do with ya?" Chloe chuckled.
"Well… we might as well take the long way around." Jade said as they started walking around it, though Sarge would take a closer look at it.
"Hmm! I bet I could shove Grif into this and he'd be running around to get all that excess weight off of him. Heheheh." Sarge chuckled as he walked off with them.
Wario kept moving along, crashing through crates like they were nothing as he would screech to a halt and turned around, but the momentum he picked up caused him to keep smashing into crates until he eventually slammed right into a wall. "MMMPH!" He grunted, bouncing back harmlessly. "Woo! What a rush." He said.
"INCOMING!" Camrin yelled as Wario would step out of the way… and then Camrin would use his momentum to slam into the wall, and then proceeded to do several wall jumps before gracefully flipping and landing on his feet. "Ta-dah!"
"Wow! That was better wall jumping than Mario!" Wario complimented.
At Toad Town…
"ACHOO!" Mario sneezed while he was applying the finishing touches on a castle wall. "Excuse me!" He said.
Back with them…
"Heh, thanks." Camrin said proudly as the two of them would see the treasure chest as the two opened it up.
"AHA! I was wondering where this went!" Wario said, pulling out a dust cloth.
Wario's Dustcloth: Wario's embroidered dustcloth. Who put this in a treasure chest?
"Is that a dust cloth with your name on it?"
"Yup! I keep this handy… but how in the world did it get into another dimension?"
"…Logic?" Camrin shrugged.
"Bah, I bet you could write a book about logic and then sell it to some sucker who would waste their money on something like that."
At Luigi's House…
"WACHOO!" Luigi sneezed as he was reading the newspaper, then he lowered the newspaper as he looked around. "…Odd, I didn't think it was that dusty in here."
Back with the duo…
With a nod, the two walked off to catch up with the others while the others wandered through a cave while draining the water in another moat while Sarge proceeded to shoot down any Scarracuda in the way. Xena would noticed a treasure chest on a ledge as she would telekinetically bring it down as Nyx would open it up… and pulled out something with "Love" written on it.
"Uh… what the heck is this?" Nyx wondered.
Something Important: Somebody said that this is really important or something. What's the big deal?
"Something… to do with love, probably." Jen guessed.
"Perhaps it's a valentine?" Sarge asked.
"Eh, they're like several months too late." Nyx said, tossing it behind her. "It's already November, might as well make a new one next year."
"Oh well." Jade shrugged as they walked off while Zoey was piggybacking Mona until Camrin and Wario came back and Zoey happily gave Mona back to Camrin.
"I feel like I'm being traded off…" Mona said.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Camrin chuckled as Wario busted a Merfle out and then they walked right into a portal opening up.

World 1-4 - Run-Down Pyramid - More Ruins to Explore!
"You have entered sacred ground, trespassers. Leave now or be crushed!"
"What the heck?" Anthony wondered before smirking. "Ah, I see we attracted some attention here."
"It's probably Wario's stench." Nyx snarked.
"Hey!" Wario glared at her. "…Nah, you're probably right."
"Waaaah, like we care about some silly warning." Waluigi said.
"Let's-a go! Wahaha!" Wario said as they walked off.
"Well, knowing us, we'll just knock down whatever it is that gets in our way." Umber nochalantly shrugged.
"Like a warning has ever stopped us before." Camrin said.
BGM: Run-Down Pyramid (Wario Land: Shake It!)
"Helloooo, what do we have here?" Wario wondered as he hopped into a Unibucket and moved forward on the rails, then hopped out as he pushed it to Waluigi where he would do the same, but he didn't push it back for the others.
"Oh, lovely. Of course they don't share it." Nyx mumbled.
"Not to worry!" Xena said, lifting them up telekinetically as they levitated toward the other side and Xena gently dropped them to the ground.
"It's better than walking!" Sarge said as they walked through to catch up with the Wario Bros as they went inside the pyramid as they would take out a few Banderninos where Camrin decided to climb down a ladder with Zoey and Chloe as they took out a few enemies that were guarding a treasure chest as they opened it up… and revealed a spear.
"Oh hello! This is a good one!" Camrin said as he tried to pull it out. "Mmmph! It's a bit heavy…!" He said as the two helped him out as they placed it down. "Phew… that's a heavy spear."
One Heavy Spear: This would probably hurt a lot if you got hit with it. But you'll have to lift it first.
"Better not give this to Nyx… she'd probably get ideas." Chloe said.
"That is if she can lift this up on her own." Zoey pointed out.
"Good point." Chloe nodded.
"I'd use it, but I'd rather use my fists…" Mona said as they walked away from the heavy spear and climbed the ladder.
"Yeah, but you're kinda incapaciated at the moment." Camrin told her.
"Uuuugh, stupid cheese…"
As they continued to catch up with the others, Jade would climb up a few platforms herself and sucked in a few Banderninos as she shot them out at some floating Banderninos where she'd then walk over to another treasure chest and opened it up.
"Huh?" She wondered as she pulled out a rock.
Moonstone: This rock probably came from the moon. I mean...just look at it!
"I swear, this dimension has weird ideas what counts as treasure." Jade deadpanned as she put it away and caught up with the others as they would soon walk out of the pyramid and see one last treasure chest outside.
"Ooooh! Let's see what's in here!" Wario said greedily as he ran over.
"DO NOT OPEN THAT CHEST, TRESPASSER. LEAVE AT ONCE!"
"Oh, what are you gonna do about it, naggy pants?" Wario said, opening the treasure chest. "Ooooh, a moai!" He said, pulling it out. "Hrrrrah!" He grunted, setting it down next to him.
Manly Moai: It's hard to compete with the manliness of a guy made completely of stone.
"Wahaha! What do you think… am I manlier than this big doofus?"
"Honestly, I'd think the rock is manlier than you." Nyx said.
"Oh, who asked you!" Wario glared.
"No no, she's got a point." Waluigi said. "Look at those chiseled features. It's got you beat."
"But where's the rest of his body?" Wario pointed out. "I have him beat there!" He said, flexing his muscles.
"…I think his body would have manlier muscles than yours." Nyx snarked.
"Ditto." Waluigi said as the two fist bumped.
"Bah! Who needs your input!"
"Hmm… ya know, I think this could be a present for Sarasaland." Jade said.
"Don't they already have tons of moai?" Xena asked.
"Yeah, but what's one more?" Jade shrugged.
"…Can I say it's from me?" Waluigi asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you that Daisy is not interested in you that way?" Wario shot back.
Waluigi slumped. "Waaaah…"
"There there, big guy…" Iris said, patting him on the back.

"YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOLS! YOU HAVE IGNORED MY WARNINGS AND NOW YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIVES!"
Suddenly, the ground started to vibrate.
BGM: Danger! There's Trouble! (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX)
"Really? You're just gonna throw a tantrum after two ignored warnings? Whatever happened to "Three strikes and you're out"?" Xena asked.
"I don't think that applies in this dimension." Umber responded when suddenly a monstrous tank-like creature approached them.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" Sarge yelled.
"FOOOOOOLS! COWER BEFORE ROLLANRATL! MY TEMPLE IS YOUR TOMB!"
"Welp, he's pissed! You guys know what to do!" Camrin said as they got ready to fight.
"I wanna fight too…!" Mona said before letting out a groan. "Oooh… can you be my fists?"
"You got it!" Camrin nodded as they got ready to fight, while Chloe grabbed Mona off of her and took her to safety, while Anthony would use his Dust Staff to pull up an ice dust wall to protect the two.
End BGM
BGM: Rollanratl Battle (Wario Land: Shake It!)
Tank With Fists - Rollanratl
Rollanratl swung his fists down, creating shockwaves that knocked everyone back but Jade got back up and started shooting out fireballs from her Poltergust as Wario ran over and shoulder bashed Rollanratl's fist, knocking it back a few as Rollanratl attempted to pummel Wario but he would hold it in place as Camrin came running over and punched the hand to knock it back.
Rollanratl then shot out missiles at the group, but Xena would telekinetically catch a few as Waluigi pulled out a viney whip and grabbed one of them before throwing it back at Rollanratl as Xena would shoot them back at the tank.
Nyx would fire a few arrows at him right after. "You think we could use our Wisps?" She asked.
"Honestly, I don't think this dimension will let us call for backup!" Iris said, having summoned her Wing powerup as she flew up in the air and shot at the face while dodging a few lasers.
"Guess we'll have to resort to this." Nyx said, closing her eyes and summoning her Rock powerup as she shot out boulders at it while dodging a fist as Zoey went running over and spotted a glowing spot on its fist as she would quickly run over to it and zapped it as it quickly pulled away.
"Everyone! These glowing spots are its weakness!" Zoey reported.
"That's good to know!" Jade said, seeing one such weakspot on its face as she quickly called out her Mimikyu. "Pikaboo, Shadow Ball!"
"Kyuuuu!" Pikaboo cried as it unleashed Shadow Ball at the time as Jen would quickly fire a few shots at it and Umber would fire Plasma Bolts at it. Rollanratl responded by throwing its fists down on the three, forcing them to dodge while Sarge proceeded to shoot at the hands, until it backhanded him away but Xena would grab a hold of him telekinetically and put him down.
"Thanks!"
With a nod, Xena got into position and put her hands together. "Alright, let's try it out!"
"Right behind ya!"
Fire emerged from her hands as she shot out a stream of fire, but she would use her telekinesis to wrap it around Rollanratl before she snapped her fingers as it let out a fiery explosion. "Ah yeah, that's how ya do it with Pyrokinesis!"
"Hell yeah!"
Wario would take one look at the Manly Moai and had an idea. "Someone cover me!"
"Right!" Xena nodded as she jumped in front of Wario as he started to pick up the Manly Moai as Umber would set up a few mirrors as lasers would bounce off, then Rollanratl's fists suddenly turned spiky and swung down its spikes, shooting some of the spikes out that grazed Nyx and Jade while Iris would shoot at a weakspot that she had found.
One rocket headed straight for Waluigi, but he pulled out his tennis racket and swung it hard enough to sent it flying back to Rollanratl.
"You'll wanna duck for this!" Wario warned as Xena turned her head and saw him spinning around with the Moai.
"Oh boy!" Xena paled as she ducked.
"Have a rotten day!" Wario declared as he threw the Manly Moai straight for Rollanratl as it turned its head… and smashed right into it, causing Rollanratl to malfunction and fall apart into pieces.
End BGM
"Yes! Way to go, Wario!" Waluigi praised… and then noticed the moai falling apart as well. "WAAAAAAAH?! NOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled as he fell on his knees and threw his arms down. "Now what am I gonna give to Daisy!"
"There there…" Jen said, patting him on the back.
"WAHAHAHAHAHA! YAHOOOOOO!" Wario cheered. "I won, I won, I wooooon~! I won, I won, I wooooon~!" He sang happily while dancing.
"I think we all won." Nyx said in annoyance.
"Oh, let him have his moment." Anthony said with a chuckle as Jade would spot something and walk over, seeing a boss emblem on the ground.
"Hey, we got an Emblem!"
"Sweet! Now we can head back to the Sweet Stuff!" Xena said as they started to walk off, while Wario dragged away a despairing Waluigi.
Meanwhile, with the Shake King…
"Your highness!" A Bandernino exclaimed.
"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?" The Shake King asked, happily admiring the queen who was looking rather annoyed with him.
"Well yes… but Rollanratl has been defeated!"
"What?! Who would do such a thing!"
"Apparently these people came from an alternate dimension and are freeing Merfles!"
"Huh?!" Merelda said in surprise. "Someone's saving my people?"
Shake King growled. "Who is it. Who is saving them!"
"Reports have shown that a group of two teams, men in yellow and purple, a man with a shotgun and a curly haired dork are wandering around this Shake DImension. They are currently heading back to a ship as we speak."
"I see… then I suppose we should give them a little visit…" Shake King said, chuckling darkly to himself.
Back at Diamond City…
"Let's see… where in the world could Mia be…" Erik wondered when suddenly he heard screaming. "Huh?" He wondered as he saw civilians running away. "Hey, what's going on?"
"A monster! A very big monster just came into Diamond City!"
"What?!" Erik said in surprise as he pulled out his daggers. "I'll take this monster down!" He declared.
BGM: Unflinchable Courage (Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age)
Erik quickly ran through the crowd, weaving his way from side to side. "Whatever monster this is, I'm ready for it!" He said, gripping his daggers tightly as he continue running in the opposite direction. "Excuse me, pardon me, out of my way please!" He said as the crowd would dissipate a few seconds later as Erik had a clear shot at running toward the monster in question.
However… as the monster came into view, he let out a gasp and quickly screeched to a halt. "Bowser?!"
*Record scratch*
"What, it's as if they haven't seen the King of Awesome before!" Bowser said.
"…I came running to fight you?"
"Gahahaha! Honestly, I could probably pummel you easily! Where's your friends?"
"Back in Remnant."
"Heh! Then with you, this will be a piece of cake."
"What are you doing here?"
"I came here to get my treasure back at WarioWare Inc. The Wario Bros stole my stuff and I want to get it back… and I will crush anyone who will get in my way. What are you doing here, blade boy?"
"Searching for my sister. I caught wind that she's here in Diamond City and she's stealing from WarioWare."
"…Bah! Your sister is probably taking off with my treasure! Out of my way, I'm going to get them back and probably pummel her!"
"Oh no, you don't! I'm not going to let you harm my sister." Erik said with a glare.
"You really want to fight? Then let's go." Bowser smirked, getting in a stance.
"…Just one question, do you know where WarioWare is at?"
"No… do you?"
"Nope."
"Oooh… alright, how's about this! We ask around where WarioWare is at, we go there and then winner take all with the treasure!"
"Sounds good to me." Erik said, putting his daggers back. "I'm sure we'll find it somewhere."
"Yeah, it probably won't take us too long!" Bowser nodded as they walked off, unaware of Mona Pizza driving past them.
"Huh, I wonder why the city is so quiet…" Mona wondered, unaware of speeding by Bowser and Erik.
One boss down, a few more to go!
