World 4-4 - Soggybog River - Rain and Soggy
Dark Xena and Wario teleported to everyone else's location, where they would immediately be met with rain. "Wah!" Wario yelped in surprise. "You teleported us to a rainfall?"
"Oh, it's not like a little rain will kill you." Dark Xena rolled her eyes.
"Hey!" A voice called out as they saw the others waving them over.
"Heya!" Dark Xena waved as she walked over, hugging her teammates before happily hugging Umber who hugged her back.
"So what happened? I thought you were right behind us." Jade said.
"Well, apparently we got sucked into a new area and Wario fell into a Rocket Bucket which was on auto-pilot… and it headed straight for some spikes. Luckily, we were able to stop it and got it under control." Dark Xena explained.
"That's weird…" Sarge said. "Auto-pilot leading straight to death?"
"Honestly, we think it might be a ploy from the Shake King. Wouldn't put it past him." Dark Xena shrugged.
"Yeah, that definitely sounds like something he'd do." Nyx nodded.
"Indeed." Anthony nodded.
"Now, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to go through this place and collect treasure!" Mona smiled.
"Agreed! Let's-a go!" Wario declared as they walked ahead.
BGM: Soggybog River (Wario Land: Shake It!)
The group walked through the soggy bog, seeing various rope swings and Venus Guytraps as platforms. Mona would quickly grab onto a rope and started climbing, but would start sliding down due to it being wet. "Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa!" She exclaimed as she scrambled to climb up but kept slipping until she fell right on top of a Nosedozer. "Mmmph! Definitely… slippery!"
"Allow me." Camrin said as he got a good running start and grabbed onto the rope and launched himself onto the next rope, as he turned around to get to the other rope swing… and then he started sliding down and landed into Mona's hands. "Mmph! …Okay, I can definitely see why you failed."
"Told ya." Mona giggled as Wario and Waluigi tried it next only for the two of them to fall and land face first into the ground, getting themselves buried into the ground as Umber and Dark Xena pulled them out.
"I got this!" Nyx said, aiming her crossbows and firing at the rope swings, wrapping it around the rope as she got a good swinging start and would swing around with her crossbows until she landed right next to a treasure chest.
"I was hoping she'd do that." Iris said. "Would've been boring if Dark did it."
"Hey! …Okay, fair point." Dark Xena giggled as Nyx landed on the ground near them. "What'ya got?"
"I think it's, uh… some type of oil. Hopefully olive oil." Nyx said.
"Hmm… I doubt it." Jade said. "Something about that frog is basically telling me it's some kind of frog oil."
"That's a thing?" Sarge asked.
"Apparently so." Wario said.
Bottle of Toad Oil - Freshly pressed toad oil. Also available in a new bullfrog flavor. Yum!
"…Can we name it Jeremiah?" Mona suddenly asked as they all looked at her weird. "What? Too weird?"
"A little bit, yeah." Umber nodded as they walked off, where they would jump through several Venus Guytrap platforms while climbing up a few ledges with the help of Dark Xena giving them a boost as they continued to walk forward… although Wario would notice a metal platform that caught his attention as he decided to jump off and Butt Smash the platform, destroying it and slamming into the water.
"Hack! Plepth! Worth it!" Wario chuckled as he swam ashore and then found a Max Fastosity Dasherator as he hopped in and burst out, rushing through and landing in the water as he made a huge U-Turn and ran across the water, slamming into a metal wall and grabbing a treasure chest as he jumped across some platforms and met up with everyone before coming to a stop.
"Oh, took the scenic route, did ya?" Jen smirked.
"Sure did!" Wario said as he threw the treasure chest down. "Let's see what we got here!" He grinned, opening up the chest and pulling out… a flower.
"A regular flower? Pretty." Zoey said and then they watched it bloom, causing it to explode like fireworks. "Ooooh!"
"Aaaah!" Mona said in awe. "Pretty!"
Flowerworks - Brilliant blossoms that bloom into fireworks and fade away seconds later. Oooooohhhhhh!
"Uh… I think that flower just died." Jade said, noticing that it had already wilted.
"Aww!" Mona pouted.
"Well, it was fun while it lasted." Umber shrugged as Wario tossed the dead Flowerwork away as they pressed on, going into a small entry way where they climbed over dry vines and hopped to the other side while avoiding jumping Scarracudas.
They then walked out of the small entryway where the rain started hitting them again. "Agh… back to rain. Loved the little reprieve." Mona mumbled.
"Ah, not like it'll hurt us." Chloe said. "Though I would be careful though. I don't want anyone catching hypothermia."
"That's what we're here for." Dark Xena said, flashing some fire from her fingertips. "We'll warm ya right up!"
"I can also have Ultra Necrozma warm everyone up." Umber chuckled as they jumped between log platforms and climbed up a ladder as best as they could where Dark Xena would see a series of rope swings and then noticed Chloe and Camrin attempting to swing.
"Hang on!" Dark Xena said, summoning a platform underneath them. "There, that way you won't fall into the water."
"Thanks Dark!" Chloe smiled as they kept swinging with Dark Xena adding multiple platforms for them to safely jump across.
"Ah, our old semblance… how I missed it."
"You and me both, bud." Dark Xena chuckled as the siblings landed near the treasure chest and opened it up.
"Huh?" Chloe wondered.
"Well, it looks nice… sort of." Camrin said as they hopped down.
"What'ya got?" Dark Xena asked.
"…Care for a ring?" Camrin asked.
"Uh… define ring." Dark Xena blushed a little.
Camrin chuckled. "This ring." He said, tossing it to her.
"…An Amber Ring?"
"Ew… it's got a mosquito in it!"
"Does anyone want a dead mosquito ring?" Dark Xena asked, but no one wanted it. "Mmm, maybe someone at Animal Village would like this. Give it to Villager and he'll figure it out."
"That works."
Amber Ring - Mosquitoes are annoying, unless they've been trapped inside a rock for millions of years.
"What is with these weird treasures, anyway?" Iris wondered.
"What's with this weird dimension?" Wario responded.
"Touche." Iris shrugged as they climbed up a few ledges and found themselves a caged Merfle where Mona would happily break open.
"Thank you!" The Merfle smiled as Dark Xena teleported him away as they went further along, until a platform they were on caved in… and they fell into some rapids.
"WAAAAAAAH!"
SPLASH!
End BGM
World 4-Secret 2- Riverbloat Rapids - Go Down With a Splash!
Dark Xena levitated out of the water, telekinetically bringing everyone out of the water as she looked at some logs and some vines, having an idea as she quickly ran off to make it with everyone staring at her.
"Huh… didn't know they were good at craftsmanship." Nyx said.
"Maybe Steve and Alex taught them a few things." Jade said.
"That could be it." Iris nodded.
"Wouldn't those creepy blockheads teach all of us something?" Waluigi pointed out.
"Hmm, I guess." Nyx shrugged.
"Dang, look at those two go." Anthony said in amazement.
"Ta-daaaah!" Dark Xena smiled. "A river raft~!"
"Coooool!" Umber said as Dark Xena put it in the water and held it there while everyone hopped aboard, then Dark Xena sat down next to Umber.
"Alright, let's go!" She said, letting go of the raft as they started going down.
BGM: Snakey Chantey (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)
"Wahooo!" Jade cheered as they went about the rapids as some Bandineros looked on in surprise.
"There's a treasure up ahead! How are we gonna get it?" Anthony asked.
"I got it!" Dark Xena said.
"No, I got it!" Wario spoke up as he stood up and reached into his pocket… before pulling out an Ultra Hand. "Ha ha ha haaaaaa!"
"…Did anyone just hear a jingle just now?" Jen wondered as Wario aimed the Ultra Hand and fired, grabbing a hold of the treasure and bringing it back over.
"Let's see what we got!" Wario smirked, opening the treasure chest and pulled out a Venus Guytrap Seed. "Wah?!"
"Looks like a Deku Seed…" Nyx mused.
"Worthless!" Wario said, tossing it behind him where it would bury itself into the ground and sprouted a Venus Guytrap… and it would eat an unwitting Pitchfork minding its own business.
Venus Guytrap Seed - Grow your own Venus Guytrap! You know... in case you need to trap some guys.
"Uh oh…" Jade whispered. "It's gonna get a little bumpy!"
"Define bumpy…" Sarge said, and right on cue, they went over small tiny waterfalls that caused the raft to bounce around. "Whoa! That's bumpy!" He said as Wario would see a massive rock up ahead as he would grab onto a tree branch and made the raft go around the rock.
"We could've done that…" Dark Xena said.
"At high speeds? Doubtful!" Wario said, spotting another treasure chest as he grabbed it with the Ultra Hand and brought it over, opening it up and… pulled out a muscleman suit. "…What in the…?"
"I'll take that!" Waluigi said, taking the suit with a grin.
Muscleman Suit: Rule the beach with these chiseled plastic pecs and a 100 percent natural fiber wig!
"Hehehe…" Waluigi smirked devilishly while the raft went through some tight and soft curves while going through more bumps along the way.
"Ow! Ooof! That's it, I'm gonna complain to the one responsible for making these so bumpy! I oughta shoot 'em for whiplash!" Sarge said.
"Don't you mean "sue"?" Zoey asked.
"I said what I said." He responded as Wario would grab the last treasure chest before they went down a steep incline.
"Got it!" Wario said as everyone braced themselves as they landed slammed into the bottom of the incline and everyone got splashed as a result.
"Please tell me we'll air dry later…" Jen sighed as Wario opened up the last chest, pulling out a melon.
"Melons?" Wario tilted his head as Iris greedily took it.
"I'm starving… and this looks really good!" Iris smiled and happily took a bite… only to have anime tears roll down her cheeks. "No fair…" She whimpered.
Emerald Melon - A cruel hoax against melon enthusiasts. Don't try to eat it; it will only lead to heartbreak.
"Here, someone get this out of my sight… it mocks me." Iris mumbled as Mona took it.
"Another shiny for my collection!" She grinned.
"Hmm… it's calm. A little too calm." Dark Xena said as she stared ahead. "Hmm…" She closed her eyes. Xena, go scout ahead. She said, using Astral Projection as Xena popped out and she flew ahead.
"…Oh dear…" Xena grimaced once she realized where they were headed as she teleported back and went back inside her dark counterpart. "Okay! I got bad news." She said to everyone.
"Let me guess… huge waterfall?" Jade asked.
"Sharp rocks more than likely at the bottom too!"
"Well, I would say bring it on, but I believe this is our stop." Anthony said and with a nod, Dark Xena lifted them up and took them off to the side where they would go inside a portal as the raft went crashing down the waterfall.

World 4-Secret 3 - Prism Prison - Airdrying on the double!
BGM: Airytale Castle (Wario Land: Shake It!)
Everyone got out of the portal. "Another one of these castles?" Jade wondered.
"Hey, I'm down for more exploring these places." Anthony said with everyone agreeing.
"Wahahahaha!" Waluigi suddenly cackled as they turned to him wearing the Muscleman outfit. "Get a load of me!" He exclaimed, doing a few poses while also blowing into some kind of tube in the arm to make the muscles expand. "Wahaha!"
"Oh, that is just sad…" Nyx shook her head.
"These muscles will win Daisy over for sure… especially the hair!" Waluigi boasted, as he could picture it in his head.
"Oh Wally! You're so muscular and strong… not to mention a lot more handsome than that wimpy Luigi!"
"Oh Daisy… let me scoop you up in my arms!"
"DAISY NOOOO!"
"Sorry Linguini… but I'm going with a winner!"
"Oh Daisy… you are simply beautiful up close."
"Kiss me, you fool!"
Back in reality, everyone was staring in disgust over Waluigi kissing the air. "…Mona, go ahead and hit him." Anthony requested.
"You got it!" Mona said as she walked over and punched him hard enough that she punched him out of the suit as he slammed into a wall.
"Wah! …Waaaah…" Waluigi mumbled sadly as Wario walked over and pulled him away by dragging his arm.
They walked inside, where they would see it was a bit different than the other castle they were at as Wario hopped into a Rocket Bucket and flew around with Dark Xena helping him while the others were down on the ground exploring the place, walking inside a room where they saw two pillars… and Mona had the idea to punch the ground to make them rise.
"Whoa… how did you know how to do that?" Sarge asked.
"Simple. I watched Wario do it!" Mona smiled as she climbed through a crevice and found her first treasure. "Hell yeah!" She grinned as she opened it up… and pulled out an outline of a guitar. "…What." She could only say as she crawled back out.
"What'ya got?" Jade asked.
"Absolutely nothing." Mona replied, showing them the outline.
Air Guitar - Rock out anywhere and anytime with this nonexistent axe. WHOOOOO!
"Maybe we should give it to that Ibuki girl. She likes to play guitar… she'll probably find a way to make some noise with it." Sarge chuckled.
At Toad Town…
"Achoo!" Ibuki sneezed. "…Someone is talking about Ibuki, she can sense it in her brief cameo!"
Back with them…
"Knowing her… it wouldn't be too hard." Nyx giggled as they wandered through the area while also making their way around conveyor belts… while outside, Wario and Dark Xena landed on a platform where the former would hop out of the bucket and see a treasure chest with Dark Xena opening it up.
"Oh… it's a floor pillow." She said.
"Look, it's got a rocket on it!" Wario said.
"Oooh!" Dark Xena grinned.
Flying Floor Pillow - Seats four and has the smoothest ride in town. Fuel economy, on the other hand...
"By the size of it… I think we can squeeze our girlfriends on it and we have a girl's night out with just the five of us!"
Yeah, one of us would be the stowaway. Dark Xena teased, causing Xena to giggle. Although, we could also go on a romantic date with Umber with this thing.
"True, but either way… refueling it is gonna be expensive…"
It'd be worth it though!
"Hey, you two! Move it!" Wario said as he hopped down some platforms.
"Coming!" Dark Xena said as she followed him as they would reunite with the others and walked inside another room where they would traverse through several spike pits and conveyor belts while also taking out some of the enemies, where they would find the last treasure chest on a ledge, as Umber would climb up and pull out an Ukulele.
"Oh sweet!" He grinned as he hopped down. "I found something for Kukui, he would love playing this kind of thing." He said as he strummed it… and electricity came out and shocked him. "Bzzzzt! Yaaaagh!"
"Whoa! Are you okay?" Nyx asked.
"I'm fine…" Umber twitched a little bit. "I… I-bzzzt! Found something for No-bzzt-ra!"
"Oooh, that's a bad case of shock…" Chloe grimaced.
Electric Ukulele - No, not amplified by electricity. It actually just shocks anyone who plays it.
"Sooo… a present for Nora then." Nyx said.
"That's what I-bzzt-said!" Umber said, and then his Pokeball opened up where Strutter the Obstagoon came out and smacked him upside the head to knock the shock out of him. "Wah! Thanks big guy." He said as Strutter nodded, giving him the thumbs up before going back into his ball.
"Phew…" Dark Xena quietly sighed in relief as they walked up a few steps and found the remaining Merfle in the area and Wario would release it, then Dark Xena teleported it away.
"Alright, where to next!" Waluigi said.
"Hopefully getting the boss emblem." Wario responded as they walked through and found themselves a portal as they went inside.
End BGM
As they hopped out on the other side of the portal, they would find themselves on a massive platform where they would see a massive flower on the other side. "A massive flower… really?" Nyx raised an eyebrow. "These bosses are getting weirder by the second!"
"Wahaha! It won't last long!" Wario smirked as the massive flower roared at them as some Banderninos started pushing him toward the others. "Looks like we got a tug of war! Let's move it!" Wario ordered.
BGM: Mini-Boss (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)
Bloom and Doom - Bloomsday
Everyone banded together to push Bloomsday and fought against the Banderninos. Bloomsday would attempt to sprout thorns off the platforms, but they would easily avoid these as it also attempted to blow them off the platform, but Dark Xena would have everyone stay on the platform while they continued to push.
As it got closer to the edge, the Banderninos panicked as they tried everything to push them but the heroes would push harder, as Bloomsday was started to get nervous and attempted to whack them with his leaves, but… with one final push, they pushed him into the water.
End BGM
"Wow… that clown guy put up more of a fight than that." Dark Xena said.
"Pffft, these guys are weak!" Sarge chuckled… and then suddenly, the area started rumbling.
"What the…?!" Iris wondered.
"Look!" Nyx exclaimed, pointing to Bloomsday rising out of the water.
BGM: Big Bad Baby Bowser/Big Boss - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (GaMetal)
"What the?!" Jade wondered as the vines would cover up the platform as his neck extended out and glared at everyone, letting out another roar.
"Looks like we pissed him off!" Iris exclaimed.
"Let's-a go! Wario time!" Wario said.
"Waluigi time!" Waluigi chimed in as everyone got ready to fight.
Floral Fury - Bloomsday EX
Bloomsday would slam his leaves on the platform, causing thorns to rise up and attempted to skewer Zoey and Mona. "Now we got a challenge!" Mona smirked as she rushed ahead and punched Bloomsday I the face, but the massive flower would grab a hold of her with his leaf and slammed her into the ground as Bloomsday would then spit out seeds to try and hit them, but Jade would suck them up and spat them back out.
Bloomsday summoned a few platforms that were Venus Guytraps as he aimed them at the others and attempted to chomp down on them, but they avoided the attacks as Dark Xena combined her hands together and let out a Psyshock-like attack, hitting Bloomsday head on as it was knocked back a few inches as it attempted to punch Dark Xena, but she teleported out of the way as Iris got into position and shot it in the face with Sarge.
Nyx would quickly jump around the thorns that were attempting to skewer them as she would fire a few crossbow bolts at Bloomsday as it spat out seeds at her, but she rolled out of the way as Anthony ran ahead and swung his dust staff, throwing out fireballs and hitting him as Umber would jump on a platform and throw a massive plasma ball at him, striking him in the face where Sarge would get in another shot and shot the plant while Umber jumped off, nearly stepping on some spikes.
Bloomsday roared and threw his leaves acting like sharp boomerangs as Camrin and Chloe slid underneath them as the latter slashed him with her Halberd and Camrin used his Rope Spear to skewer his neck, then the two would duck underneath the leaf boomerangs as Bloomsday would smash his head into the ground to knock the two back, which left him wide open as Wario shoulder tackled him as Waluigi pulled out a purple whip and wrapped it around the stem of Bloomsday and started to pull.
Zoey ran over, quickly stunning Bloomsday with her feather duster while Jen proceeded to shoot up Bloomsday as Waluigi kept pulling as Bloomsday would attempt to pull Waluigi back… but felt more ropes go around him as Nyx smirked while holding her crossbow.
"Got ya!" Nyx smirked as JINX, Sarge and Umber started pulling while Wario and Mona would help Waluigi pull… as Bloomsday tried to pry them off by shooting off seeds, but it was no use as it started roaring in agony… before half of its stem came off as his head fell to the ground, lifeless.
End BGM
The vines and everything else wilted and slowly rotted away while Bloomsday started drying up while the Boss Emblem shined brightly as Zoey picked it up.
"Looks like we got ourselves another emblem!" She smiled.
"Awesome! Now let's go!" Dark Xena smiled and teleported them all away.
With the Shake King…
The Shake King stared in surprise, looking a bit mortified as he reached for his neck, grimacing a bit. "Oh my…"
Meanwhile, at Club Sugar…
"Yeah, break it down!" Jimmy T. Exclaimed, watching Erik dance around as he started swinging aroud while also doing a small moonwalk while placing his hand on his forehead as if he was tipping a hat while having his other arm behid him in the air.
"Woo! I have to say… this music is very infectious!" Erik said.
"I know! Hey, turtle dawg! How about you show us your dance moves?"
"Hmph! I don't dance!" Bowser said as he continued to watch Erik dance… tapping his foot impatiently. "Rrrrgh… alright, this is just sad!" He said as he got onto the dance floor and pushed Erik out of the way.
"Whoa!"
"Give me a beat!" Bowser ordered as Jimmy T nodded and started to play a different song.
BGM: Bowser's Castle (Dance Dance Revolution - Mario Mix)
"This is how you dance, blue boy!" Bowser said, proceeding to breakdance like no tomorrow.
"Whoa!" Erik said in surprise.
"Dang, look at that boy go!" Jimmy said, watching Bowser do a few cartwheels before swinging his legs aroudn while holding his arms down to the ground, causing Erik and all of the dancers on the dance floor to stare in awe before the crowd circled around him and started cheering.
"Go! Go! Go Bowser! Go! Go! Go Bowser!" They chanted.
"…He can dance… with that big of a shell on him?" Erik said in surprise before he walked over to Jimmy. "Sooo… mind telling us where Mia is at?"
"Hold on just a second, that Koopa King's got some moves!" Jimmy said as Bowser continued to breakdance before the music stopped, as Bowser raised his hand up in the air.
End BGM
"Bam! Now THAT, is how to be a smooth criminal!" Bowser smirked as the crowd went wild.
"Encore! Encore! Do it again, big guy! We love you!"
Bowser smirked. "Well… like they always say… I'll do it for my adoring fans!" He said and started showing off once more.
"You don't have any fans!" Erik called out.
"You're just jealous!" Bowser responded as he continued break dacing while Erik sighed… knowing very well they're gonna be there for a while.
That awkward moment when you playfully give Flash a hard time over the Shake King pun... and then two days later, you find out from a video that starred Stephen Georg guessing Pokemon with Chugga that the name Pokken is a combination of Pokemon and Tekken...
I'll gladly take that L.
