Can You Really Take Over This (Crazy) World of Nintendo?
Let's find out!

PART ONE
Mario sat up and yawned.
"Good-a morning!" he exclaimed to his younger brother Luigi, but he heard no reply.
"You are so-a lazy!" Mario got out of bed and climbed the ladder to the top bunk, where Luigi slept. To his surprise, the bed was empty.
"How-a strange-a," he commented. He took off his pajamas and put on his usual red jumper, blue overalls and red 'M' cap. He noticed that Luigi's clothes were missing. Mario found this strange and went out to the kitchen. To his surprise, Luigi was waiting for him. Standing with him was Princess Toadstool.
"Peach!" Mario exclaimed with delight, but he stopped when he saw the serious expressions on their faces.
"Mario, something dreadful has happened!" Peach exclaimed, running up to him. "But we have no time, we must get to the Mushroom Kingdom now! I will explain when we arrive."
Both Luigi and Peach herded Mario out to the garage, and down the green warp pipe that was there. In a matter of seconds, they were standing in the Royal Castle, Peach's home.
"What is-a the matter?" Mario asked, feeling very confused by the rushing around.
"It's-a Bowser," Luigi said.
"Oh-a no-a!" Mario said.
"Yes-a, he's at it again."
"But he has a different plan this time," Peach added. "He hasn't captured me. He has bigger plans in mind. He doesn't just want the Mushroom Kingdom. He wants NintendoLand!"
* * *
"Link, can you be a dear and pass me that pen," Princess Zelda asked.
"It's on the table next to you," Link replied.
"But I want YOU to get it for me."
"You want me to get everything for you," Link said, gritting his teeth. Zelda gave him a cheesy smile in return.
Link stood up from his chair, on the other side of the room to Zelda, walked over, picked up the pen and gave it to her. Then he turned around and headed out of the room.
"WAIT!" Zelda called. Link stopped.
"What is it?" he asked, trying to stay in a good mood.
"You can't leave me," Zelda replied. "After all, I AM the Princess of Hyrule. Anyone might come and get me!"
"You'll be fine Zelda," Link said.
"I don't like your attitude."
Link laughed. "HA! MY attitude? You're the one that's suddenly expecting me to protect you every hour of every day. I haven't had an adventure in ages. You've got your Royal Guards, you don't need me."
Zelda looked hurt and her lower lip began to quiver.
"And don't try turning on the tears either. What happened to Zelda the Seventh Sage? Or the Zelda who disguised herself as Sheik in order to protect me and help me defeat Ganondorf?"
"A woman has her needs too," Zelda said haughtily.
"You've changed, Zelda." Link turned and left the room.
"COME BACK!" screamed Zelda.
Link ignored her and grabbed his sword and shield from a table in the hall. He left Hyrule Castle and saddled up his horse, Epona.
"Hey, Epona," Link said. "Want to go on an adventure? I'm sick of Hyrule. Let's go somewhere new!"
With that, he whipped the horse, and Epona began to canter. They crossed Hyrule at a high speed, and then over the border. Link didn't look back. He stared straight ahead at the new land he had just entered.
* * *
"What would you like to do today?" Yoshi asked his best friend, Kirby.
"I don't know, what do you want to do?" Kirby asked back.
"I don't mind, whatever you want to do."
"Um, let's go for a walk and see what there is to do."
"Okay!"
Kirby and Yoshi began to walk around DreamLand, talking excitedly the way best friends do. They saw a tree, and a notice was pinned to it.
"Oooh, would you look at that!" Kirby said in his high-pitched voice.
"Wow, a festival!" Yoshi exclaimed. "In Saffron City? Where's that?"
"Think Pokemon," Kirby said.
"Oh," Yoshi realised.
"It's not very far," Kirby added. "It'll only take us an hour to walk there."
"Well let's go!"
* * *
"NintendoLand!" Mario exclaimed. "He can't... he won't...no way!"
"It's too late," Luigi said. "He's already started-a. He's left the Mushroom Kingdom and he is on his way to-a Hyrule. Actually, he might be arriving there now-a!"
"Hyrule..." Mario thought. "Oh no-a! They have a Princess there too!"
"We believe that Bowser gave up trying to take over our land, because of you two," Peach said. "But if he gets control of the forces of other lands, you could never match that power. He can easily return here later."
"We'd better leave-a then," Mario said to his brother.
"I will stay here and summon the guards and prepare them for an attack," Peach said. "Good luck!"
"Remember these-a?" Mario asked.
"How could I forget," Luigi replied, putting a Raccoon Suit on over his overalls. Mario did the same, and the two brothers began to sprint across the land. Then they spread their arms, and with the aid of the Raccoon Suits, they soared up into the air.
"Weeeeeeee!" Luigi yelled. "Woo-hoo!"
"We should use these more-a often!" Mario yelled above the roar of the wind. In no time they could see Hyrule Castle approaching in the distance. They flew towards it and landed just outside the town.
"So this is Hyrule," Mario commented. The sky was dark, and it looked like it was about to rain. The brothers stood outside the drawbridge to the town and were about to enter, when a large white horse galloped from out of the town. It's hooves thundered on the ground and raised dust up everywhere. There was a flash of lightning, and Mario and Luigi jumped back.
"BOWSER!" they screamed when they saw the green person sitting on top of the horse. It was Bowser Koopa, back from his last defeat, in all his mean glory. Under his arms was a struggling teenage girl, dressed in fine clothes. Mario and Luigi instantly knew that it was the Princess of Hyrule. Then, as quickly as it had appeared, the horse disappeared into the distance.
A second horse thundered out of the town. This one was a black horse, wearing black armour. The rider paused outside of the town shook his fists in the air.
"COME BACK HERE!" the tall, fearsome looking man yelled. "THAT'S MY PRINCESS! HOW DARE YOU KIDNAP HER FIRST! I NEED TO GET MY REVENGE!"
He raised his arm in the air, and Mario and Luigi watched as a large ball of light appeared in it. He then threw the light, a ball of magic, after Bowser. By now, the horse was too far away and the magic simply couldn't make it, no matter how strong it was.
"CURSE IT!"
"We-a must go after Bowser," Mario whispered to Luigi. The tall man on the horse heard, and looked down at them.
"My, my, doesn't this look familiar," he said, his voice deep and powerful. "Let me see, Princess Zelda has been carried off just before I arrive, and there is a kid waiting here to try and thwart my plans."
Mario looked at Luigi with a confused expression. They did not know what the man was talking about.
"Only," the man continued, "there are two of you, and you don't look like kids. Actually, you're not from around here, are you?"
"I think-a he's talking to us," Mario said.
"No-a sir," Luigi replied.
The man laughed. "So what do you want? Do you want a piece of me? No... wait a second. That didn't work last time. Tell me, what do you want?"
"We only want Bowser," Mario said. He was not entirely sure what the man was talking about, but he looked too scary to question.
"Bowser? Is that, by any chance, the creature that ran off with Princess Zelda?"
"Yes, that's him-a!" Luigi said.
"Well then, maybe I can find a use for you two. If you let me have Zelda, I will let you have this Bowser."
"Okay-a!" agreed Luigi. Mario elbowed him sharply.
"Brother," he whispered so that the man wouldn't hear. "He is a bad man. He is like the Bowser of Hyrule. He wants to capture their Princess."
"We can deal with him later. He doesn't seem as powerful as Bowser," Luigi raised his voice. "Excuse me sir, what is your name?"
"Ganondorf Dragmire. Now get on my horse!"
* * *
Samus Aran charged up her blaster, and, with a fierce yell, fired it at the monster that stood in front of her. The blast hit, and blew it to pieces.
The crowd went wild, cheering and whistling. Samus shook the hand of her opponent, and large gorilla called Donkey Kong, who had been throwing barrels at the targets.
"Crowd, I present the winner of the Target-Breaking Contest! Samus Aran!" exclaimed the host. The crowd went even wilder. The host handed Samus a trophy and a huge block of chocolate. She waved to the crowd, and then stepped down off the stage to watch the next act, some kind of Pokemon contest. Samus removed the helmet of her suit, and began to eat the chocolate she had just won.
* * *
"I love festivals!" Yoshi exclaimed, after he had watched Samus win her prize.
"Yes, Pokemon festivals are meant to be the best in NintendoLand, " Kirby agreed. To their surprise, Samus sat down next to them, and began to eat some chocolate.
"Hey, congratulations," Yoshi said to her.
Samus looked happy. "Thank you!" She offered her chocolate to them, but they shook their heads. Samus shrugged and began to eat more. Kirby and Yoshi watched, fascinated, as to how one person could eat chocolate so fast. Samus saw them looking.
"Yum, I LOVE chocolate!" she said.
"Mind if I join you?" Samus, Yoshi and Kirby turned around, to see Donkey Kong. They nodded, and Samus offered him some of her chocolate, which was rapidly disappearing. DK refused, and pulled up one of the wooden chairs and sat down.
CRASH! Several people turned around. DK looked sheepish.
"That's the third chair I've broken today," he said. "Maybe I'll sit on the ground."
"Might be a good idea," Kirby said.
* * *
"Mum, NOW can I go to the festival?" Ashley Ketchum nagged his mother.
"Have you cleaned your room?"
"Yes," Ash replied, "And taken out the trash, and done my homework."
"Fine you can go then."
"Yes!" Ash grabbed his cap and his Pokemon, Pikachu. Another Pokemon, Jigglypuff had been staying with Pikachu, and she flew along after them. They raced along to the festival, but when they were almost there, Jigglypuff flew down an alley.
"Jigglypuff, come back!" Ash called. "We're going to the festival."
Jigglypuff responded by squeaking, "Jiggly!" but she didn't come out. Ash sighed and followed her. As he walked down the dark alley, he could hear a lot of commotion, including someone shouting. Then there was a deathly yell. Pikachu jumped on top of Ash's head, and Ash slowly crept down the alley.
