Mario's Bowling Tournament
Since they haven't made a Mario Bowling game yet (or have they? I forgot) I thought I'd make a Mario Bowling story.
Chapter 1: The New Bowling Alley
Mario and Luigi were taking a stroll through the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario saw a poster for the new bowling alley that is opening up pretty soon. That made him think of all the times he and Luigi played bowling when they got a break from the plumbing service.
"Hey, Luigi, the new bowling alley's opening soon. Remember when we went bowling in Brooklyn?" Mario asked.
"Remember? How could I forget?" Luigi replied.
"Ah, obviously. Stupid me!"
Mario and Luigi continued along their walk.
"Remember when we played baseball with everybody?" Mario asked.
"Of course!" Luigi said.
"Remember soccer?"
"Yup."
"How about—"
"Yes. I remember Kart Racing."
"How did you know what I was going to say?"
"Instinct, my dear brother."
Mario and Luigi went to Princess Peach's Castle.
"Hey, princess!" Mario said.
"Good morning, Mario! Good morning, Luigi! What are you two doing here?" Peach asked.
"Princess, the new bowling alley's opening soon!" Luigi answered.
"Wow!"
"About…I think the poster said Tuesday!"
"Whoa! That's just 3 days away!"
"I know! Me and Mario are going to go on Tuesday and play and have fun!"
"Hey, Luigi, I've got an idea," Mario said.
"Cool. You're ideas are cool," Luigi said.
"What do you say next Friday we have our very own bowling tournament?"
"I say I love that idea!"
"Cool! On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we'll go down and practice. Then Friday, it's bowling time!"
"Wait, Mario, how many people are going to play?"
"Anyone who wants to enter can!"
"Even Bowser?"
"Sure. If he wants to, that is."
"Well, then, like you said earlier before, it's bowling time next Friday! But wait! How do we let people know?"
Mario thought. When an idea popped into his head, he said, "I got it! We'll use speakers!"
"Great idea!" Luigi praised.
Mario and Luigi used some speakers around the Mushroom Kingdom to get all of their friends to enter.
"Testing. 1, 2, 3. Testing. 1, 2, 3." Luigi started.
"Thanks," Mario said when Luigi handed him the microphone, "I am glad to announce a tournament my Luigi and I are having. It will be on Friday, January 13, 2006. Anyone who wants to enter this tournament can. Remember, the only rule is have fun and bowl until you're heart's content! Once again, this tournament will be held on Friday, January 13, 2006 at 3 P.M.. Anyone who wants to enter it can."
Mario and Luigi had sign-up sheets for his tournament all over town. They had Koopas and Goombas all over town with sign-up sheets. In 15 minutes, one whole pad of sign-up paper was filled! The Goomba over there needed another pad of sign-up paper. When he got another one, it was filled in the next 15 minutes!
"Can we sign up?" one Koopa asked Mario.
"If you are the one who waits for people to sign-up with that pad of sign-up paper in your hand, so be it. Anyone can enter. And I mean anyone! If I'm letting Bowser in, surely a Koopa can enter!" Mario replied.
Finally, Tuesday came. That meant the new bowling alley opened today. Everybody ran inside to practice their bowling for Mario's tournament this Friday! It seemed to Mario and Luigi that every single person in the Mushroom Kingdom came to bowl! Even Bowser entered! Even Bowser came to practice! For once, Bowser even thought Mario had a good idea! Mario and Luigi were practicing, too, of course.
"Wow! You guys lucked out! Only 1 lane is left! Everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom is practicing for your tournament this Friday the 13th," Koopa said.
"Oh, yeah! It is Friday the 13th, isn't it? Well, I don't think that'll stop bowlers! It seems to me no one cares about the fact that this Friday is a Friday the 13th. Well, anyway, we'll be practicing our bowling here as well today. We'll be doing that everyday until the tournament," Mario explained.
"I think everyone else plans on doing that."
"Koopa," Luigi said, "I want you to have fun. That is the whole reason of the tournament. Right Mario?"
"Right Luigi," Mario said.
"We'll you have fun, Koopa, you hear?" Luigi said.
"Got it," Koopa said.
Koopa went to practice his bowling.
"Well, Mario. Let's bowl!" Luigi said excitedly.
"I'm in a good mood today," Mario said.
"Yeah. I am too, Mario."
"Yep. You ready to bowl?"
They went and bowled. Tuesday's practice game came out with the scores of Mario: 240. Luigi: 238. Wednesday's game came to be Mario: 243. Luigi: 252. Thursday's was Mario: 300. Luigi: 300. Wow! Mario won 1, Luigi won 1 and 1 was a tie!
The next day was Friday! Tournament day!
"You ready Luigi?" Mario asked.
"Yes I am!" Luigi answered.
