Disclaimer: I don't own Nintendo, the Paper Mario series, and the Jeopardy game show/board game/travel game/franchise/etc. I, however, own Koobeck, Travis T., and Luigi T. and his pizzeria. You are allowed to make your own knockoffs of my particular type of Jeopardy, though, as long as you dare to and as long as you don't plagiarize.

Note: This fanfiction will span over many Mushroom Kingdom Jeopardy games, each split into four segments. Look for a Paper Mario and a Mario Kart: Double Dash episode coming up next!

Thousand-Year Door Episode, Segment 1

Koobeck: Hello, and welcome to Mushroom Kingdom Jeopardy! I'm Koobeck, the host of this show. This is the game in which our contestants answer trivia questions for coins. The contestant with the most coins wins!

Koobeck: In this episode, our questions will revolve around Mario's latest adventure with the Thousand-Year Door! And his sidekicks from that adventure will be our latest contestants! And here they are!

Koobeck: Our first contestant is one of Mario's first party members. She graduated from the U of Goom with a Ph.D. of Archaeology! She's…Goombella!

Goombella: (winks at the audience)

Koobeck: Our second contestant is a rugged old sea admiral from the ages of yore. He's sailed many ships without a single shipwreck! Not that anyone could survive a shipwreck, though. He's…Bobbery!

Bobbery: (blows up, then comes back down)

Koobeck: And our last contestant is known as "Gonzales Jr." in the Glitz Pit. He's beaten Prince Mush and Rawk Hawk many times before. He's…Jr. Yoshi!

Jr. Yoshi: (jumps up and down in joy)

Koobeck: With our contestants here, we'd better tell them what our prizes are. Travis T.?

Travis T.: Our third prize winner gets one year's worth of free food and service at Luigi T.'s Pizzeria! The contestant who gets second place gets one random product from E. Gadd himself! And the contestant who gets first…just keeps the money and comes back when the next Thousand-Year Door episode airs!
