I wanted the Pirate Ships to play a role since I wasn't doing red coin missions. Also I knew Wario and Waluigi would be quite a surprise. Now be prepared for another surprise in this chapter!

StarlitDuck

Most Sunshine adaptations I've read don't add much new stuff other than Mario and other characters tagging along with him trying to humor the reader with their dialogue. I wanted to do more than just that. (Come to think of it, that's kinda what I did with my 64 adaptation. What a jump in quality!) And yes, I'm glad you enjoy Aqua. I made sure to give her a big role in this story rather than seeming like she was shoehorned in here for the sake of it.


In Pinna Park, Aqua was riding the Yoshi-Go-Round on a Pink Yoshi with a bubbly mood, daydreaming that she was actually riding on a real live Yoshi. Mario watched with a fatherly smile, seeing the girl happy. However Luigi seemed puzzled over a missing Orange Yoshi. Only the bar where it used to be was there.

Mario: Ah! Childhood. Really takes you back, doesn't it bro?

Luigi: Well… yeah, but… What's with the missing Yoshi?

Mario: Huh. Don't know. I guess it broke off and it's being fixed.

Luigi: I guess that could be it. But still, something seems… off about it.

Luigi's thoughts and Aqua's daydreams came to a halt when a scream was heard.

?: AAAAHHHHH!

Mario: Mamma Mia! What was that?!

FLUDD: It came from outside the park! Quick! To the entrance!

Mario and Co. hurried over to Pinna Park's beach where a Noki was looking to the east end of the beach in horror.

Mario: Hey, we heard a scream! Are you okay?

Noki: Th-that wasn't me… I-I don't wanna talk about it… Go… see it for yourselves.

Aqua: Oh no…

Luigi: This sounds bad…

The three looked around the beach and let their eyes roam for a bit until Aqua spotted a horrific sight that made her shriek.

Aqua: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Mario: Aqua! What's wro-

Mario and Luigi: WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

The normally cheery and sun-loving sunflowers that inhabited the beach were all wilting and sagging forward. They were no longer happy. Now they were sad and gloomy. The sight of this made all of the heroes, especially Aqua, cry. What was really odd about this though, were the abnormally large Yoshi eggs near the dying sunflowers.

Aqua, refusing to take this, ran over to one of the sunflowers with tears running all over her face.

Aqua: SUNFLOWERS!

The Sunflower Kid slowly raised her head to see her friend extremely worried.

Sunflower Kid: A-A-Aqua…

The Sunflower Kid sounded very weak and fragile.

Aqua: What happened to you?! Who did this?! TELL ME!

Sunflower Kid: That egg… just hatched… on the beach…

Aqua: What?

Sunflower Kid: These eggs… are trying… to eat us… from below… the surface… Now our little friends… are few… in numbers…

Aqua: The… eggs?

Luigi: Wait a second… these are Yoshi eggs! You don't think…

Aqua: B-But… I thought Yoshis were nice…

Luigi: Mario, do you think…

Mario didn't know what to think. Would Yoshis really do something like this? Then he came to a conclusion.

Mario: (Something isn't right about these eggs…) No! NO! I REFUSE to believe this! Yoshis are sweet and sensible creatures! Sure, they eat a lot, but they would NEVER do something as evil as this! FLUDD, what do you suggest we do?

FLUDD: Well, spraying the sunflowers probably won't do much, so try spraying the eggs.

Mario: Got it!

Mario sprayed one of the large eggs inhabiting the beach. Soon the egg popped up to reveal it was actually the shell of a giant turtle that yawned when it woke up.

Aqua: Uh…

Luigi: Wow. This Yoshi REALLY let itself go.

Mario: FLUDD, what is that? Because it is definitely NOT a Yoshi!

FLUDD: That is a Snooza Koopa. They are a subspecies of Koopa Troopas that feed upon the roots of plants and are predators of Yoshis. They're the reason why the Yoshi's left the Isle in the first place. As their name suggests, they are usually found asleep. When they're awake, they are very aggressive and will try to ram you from above with its egg-like shell. When it does that, you must pound ground it's stomach.

Mario: Got it!

The angry Snooza Koopa jumped into the air and tried to ram them from above. Only to get stuck in the sand. Aqua used her hover nozzle to get up to it belly and ground pound on it. The Snooza Koopa disappeared, and in its place, several sunflowers grew and one of the sunflower kids turned back to normal. The largest egg in the center, which was a lighter shade of green, cracked a bit.

Aqua: Yay! It's working!

Luigi: Four more to go!

The trio took care of three more Snooza Koopas, with Mario spraying them and Aqua pound grounding them. Allowing each of the Sunflower Kids' strength to be restored.

Mario: Alright! Just one more! This one looks bigger than the rest.

The large egg hatched to reveal a much larger Snooza Koopa (Momma Koopa), and she was mad!

Momma Koopa: RAWWWWWWWWR!

Aqua: EEK!

Luigi: Mamma Mia!

FLUDD: She seems to be angry that we killed her kids.

Mario: Let's a go!

Luigi: Okie Dokie!

Aqua: Bring it on!

Momma Koopa tried to bite at Mario, only for him to jump on her head. She then tried attacking like her kids his by ramming on them. This time Luigi used the rocket nozzle to pound ground on the beast. When he did, surprisingly an Orange Yoshi came out of her mouth.

Aqua: *gasp* A Yoshi!

Orange Yoshi: Finally! FREEDOM! Thanks, strangers! My buddies are still trapped in there, though. Free them, and we'll do our best to help.

Mario: You can count on us!

The three heroes attacked the angry mother and freed three more Yoshi's. Black, blue, and pink ones.

Orange Yoshi: Alright, you monster! Prepare yourself!

Black Yoshi: This is for our tribe!

Blue Yoshi: Yeah!

Pink Yoshi: Yeah!

The four Yoshi's pushed a boulder down a hill that landed right on Momma Koopa's stomach. Making her screech in pain, and spit out one last Yoshi. This one was lime green and wore a bow that looked similar to Birdo's, except it was green with white polka dots.

Lime-Green Yoshi: Yay! I'm free!

Momma Koopa died. Many sunflowers grew in her place, and the Great Sunflower regained her strength. Everyone on Pinna Park's beach celebrated.

Aqua: We did it!

Mario: Wahoo!

Luigi: Oh yeah!

Sunflower Kids: Thanks! You saved us!

Great Sunflower: Thanks for helping us! Now the Yoshi's are back!

Orange Yoshi: Thank you guys so much! We've been trapped in that thing's belly for God knows how long, feeding on nothing but plant remains. Now I want some FRUIT!

Black, Blue, and Pink Yoshis: FRUIT!

They all ran off to find fruit, except for the Lime-Green Yoshi.

Lime-Green Yoshi: I really owe you guys one. You saved both my race and those sunflowers. My name's Melon, Melon the Yoshi. What are your names?

Mario: The name's-a Mario. And this is my brother Luigi, and my new friend, Aqua.

Luigi: Hello!

Aqua: YOSHI!

Aqua came over and hugged Melon.

Melon: Woah!

Mario: Sorry! She's never seen a real Yoshi before and is really excited about it.

Melon: That's okay. Nice to meet you, Aqua! Wait… Mario… Luigi… where have I heard those names?

Melon then came to a sudden realization.

Melon: Hey! My cousin Yoshi told me about you guys! The Super Mario Brothers, right?

This caught the bros by surprise.

Mario: What?!

Luigi: You're Yoshi's cousin?!

Melon: Yup! He told me about how he saved you two as babies, and then saved his island years later from some koopa named Bowser, and then how you worked together to recover the stars from a castle. I don't even know what a castle is, but it sounds pretty grand! But man! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you guys!

Mario: Well, this was quite a nice surprise.

Luigi: We should definitely tell Yoshi about this next time we see him.

Melon: So, what brings you to this island?

Mario: Well… it's a long story.

The three told Melon all about what's been happening the past few days, with the graffiti, getting arrested, the impostors, and Bowser Jr. kidnapping Peach.

Melon: Gee! That sounds horrible! I'm so sorry you fellows have to go through all this. You deserve the vacation you came here for! Since I owe you for saving me from those Snooza Koopas, if you ever need my help, just grab a fruit and take it to my egg. I'll be there. I also change color depending on what fruit I eat, so be aware of that.

Mario: We will! See you later!

Melon: Bye!

Melon ran off. A Shine Sprite appeared in front of the Great Sunflower.

Aqua: I can't believe I met a real Yoshi!

Luigi: Yeah! And she's our friend's cousin for that matter. That was unexpected.

Mario: Now to claim our Shine Sprite!

SHINE!

All: YIPPEE!
