Nintendo All-Stars Vol. 1

A good size Persian rug skips across clouds as Mario, Peach, Toad, and Luigi sky away from the giant floating shadow that is following them.

Luigi: Mario! This a no good!

Peach: Oh no!

Several cannonballs zoom past them with Mario tightly holding the ends of the rug and skillfully maneuvering away from the projectiles.

Finally, one of the cannonballs connect and knocks the flying carpet out of orbit as everyone is sent airborne.

Bowser: GWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

The giant shadow moves in closer, revealing itself to be a flying battleship, complete with arsenal beyond belief. Inside the cockpit, Bowser sits on his throne monitoring his victory. Shy Guys come marching in.

Shy Guy # 1: Sir, they have been knocked out of the air.

Bowser: Well duh, I didn't install these monitors for nothin'! Well, where's the princess?

Shy Guy # 1: Sir, she is missing.

Bowser: Whatta mean she's missing?

Shy Guy # 1: Sir, we have lost track of all of them.

Bowser: What the! What am I paying you for! I want them alive! Alive! Alive!

Shy Guy # 2: Sir, scanners are picking up a body in the jungle. It's not moving but we know its heart is still beating. Must have fainted.appears to be wearing a red cap.

Bowser: GWAHAAHAHAHA! Land-ho!

The giant battleship lands, and the bride lowers. Bowser, a massive force with almost no equal, pounds the ground with his enormous feet. Everything in the jungle trembles to just a sight.

Bowser: Well, well, well..it seems Mr. Mario has fainted.

Bowser picks up Mario's body and examines the man that has defeated him all these years. Bowser: I'm gonna like doing this.

He clutches Mario's overalls with his left paw and raises his massive right paw , ready to deal one quick blow. Suddenly, the trees begin to sway as another loud thud hits the floor. Bowser looks around until his eyes hit something equally as big and equally as imposing as him. The long red neck tie stands out in all midst of all the darkness and the initials D.K. stand out in gold.

Bowser: Hey, who's..who's.ummm. Hey you big ape, I suggest you get out of there before I clobber a banana down your throat.

DK stands there with not fear in his eyes nor any retreat on his mind.

Shy Guy # 1: Sir, that ape is Donkey Kong, sir.

Bowser: Wha.what? You mean.the DK?

Shy Guy: #1: Yes, sir. Permission to suggest, sir.

Bowser: Go on.

Shy Guy # 1: Run.

Bowser bellows out a tremendous roar that could move mountains but DK stands here as if nothing scares him.

Bowser: I'm.not scared of you, you, you ape. I'm the baddest man in all of Mushroom Kingdom. I could clobber you any day.

DK finally takes a step forward and with one giant inhale, lets out a deafening roar that is even louder than Bowers, which would be the first time to ever happen.

Bowser: # 1, I approve of your suggestion.LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

Bowser drops Mario and the whole Bowser gang rushes to the giant battleship as it flies off. Mario still lies there unconscious. Two other apes appear as they finally reveal themselves behind a tree. They are much smaller than DK.

DK: [all monkeys speak in Ape gibberish] I thought I told you two to stay back.

Diddy and Dixie, mere teenage monkeys, cower their heads and walks towards DK.

Diddy: Sorry, D, but that lizard was huge! He's bigger than Krool!

Dixie: Yeah he's big alright, but he could run, too! I thought I saw him sucking his thumbing when he was screaming out to his team. Diddy: Hey, who's that guy, then?

DK: Nobody. Let's go.

Diddy: But D, we can't leave him here. What if that lizard comes back?

DK: We are not suppose to be interacting with humans or anyone for that matter. We leave their world alone, and they leave our Jungle alone.

Dixie: Come on DK! Hey he sure looks familiar. red cap, blue overalls.M-M- MARIO!

Diddy: THE MARIO! THE MARIO! Holy bananas! I can't believe it. He's everything the pictures depict of him.

Dixie: Wow. I've read all his tales!

DK: LET'S GO NOW!

The jungle shakes again. Both teenagers tremble as DK adjusts his tie.

DK: I know that's Mario. That's why we must leave him here. He is a threat.

Diddy: If you knew it was him, then would know he's a hero.

DK: In the Jungle, there are no heroes or villains. We just want to live life without the Outside interfering. If you want to stay here and marvel at the fat man, go ahead. But leave him here. Leave him here at all costs, got it. If Kremlins come out, I won't save any of you. I'm leaving.

DK takes a giant leap swings away on the high vines of the jungle.

Dixie: Should we? You know.

Diddy: We can't! DK said not too and we don't want DK mad.

Dixie: Okay. but .still it's Mario! I mean, we've never seen anyone from Mushroom Kingdom before and bananas, it's just Mario!

Diddy: I know, but whatever DK says is law in the jungle.

Dixie: Okay, how about we take Mario to Cranky?

Diddy: That's right! Cranky lived outside the jungle before, he should know what to do.

Both apes manage to carry the limp body on their shoulders. Diddy: Bananas, he sure has a hero's weight.

Dixie: Yeah, a hero sandwich.
