"Hey, what's that over there?" Marisa wondered as the Grand Star was guiding them to the Comet Observatory.

"It looks like some kind of space station." Luigi guessed as they landed on the Observatory, where the Grand Star floated above them before flying over to the core, lighting up one section of the Observatory, which held the platform where Rosalina usually resides, the garage, the Terrace and the Fountain, but only the Terrace opened up.

"That takes care of that." Mario said as the duo nodded, then they walked over to the dimly lit core.

BGM: Rosalina in the Observatory 1 (Super Mario Galaxy)

"Well, it didn't exactly light up the whole Observatory, in fact, it's more of a Class 6 Star then anything." Polari mused. "But, on the bright side, at least the Lumas will survive."

"Indeed." Rosalina nodded and then turned to the others. "Thank you for helping us restore some of the power to the Observatory. It may not be much, but it's doable."

"Nothing to it!" Marisa grinned. "So, what caused the Observatory to go dark?"

"Might if I add something too?" Luigi asked. "What's with all the burn marks? It seems there was a scuffle here."

"I was about to say something about that, admittedly." Mario said.

"I… crossed paths with Bowser." Rosalina replied.

"WHAT?!" All three of them yelled.

"I take it you know him." Polari said. "Then again, I probably shouldn't be surprised."

"We had stopped to take a look at Earth while we were passing by." Rosalina said. "I was actually debating to going down there for a quick visit, but then Bowser attacked. I held him off for as long as I could, but his little side kick distracted me. If it wasn't for him, I would've kicked him off the Observatory."

"You should've seen her. She was kicking some butt!" Polari said. "Rosalina is considered the Queen of the Cosmos by many throughout the universe, though she always prefers going by princess."

"Queen doesn't exactly suit me, in my opinion." Rosalina replied.

"Eh, suit yourself!" Polari shrugged.

"Oh, we didn't exactly know you were royalty!" Luigi exclaimed. "Forgive us, your highness!"

"There's no need for that. Just call me Rosalina." She requested.

"Eh, that's too long." Marisa said. "How about something shorter like… Rose? No… Rosie!"

"Rosie?" Rosalina tilted her head.

"Hey, that rolls off the tongue rather well!" Polari admitted.

"Yeah. It's perfect!" Marisa grinned while the Bros looked at each other with a shrug.

Rosalina sweatdropped. "Um, okay then. Anyway, I have a request." She said. "I was wondering if you would help us regain the Power Stars that were scattered about the universe. The Grand Stars are mainly the top priority considering that's what powers the Observatory."

"Power Stars also power up the Observatory too, but the Grand Stars give it a HUGE boost." Polari pointed out. "In any case, that's what the main objective is."

"Okay, so we get the Grand Stars while also pounding Bowser into the ground. I like the sound of that." Marisa chuckled and turned to the Bros. "So, what's Bowser to you guys?"

"Basically he's Mario's arch-nemesis." Luigi said. "He doesn't really give me the time of day, as no one ever does in the Mushroom Kingdom, but we do fight every once in a while. The main reason why these two fight is because Bowser kidnaps the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom constantly."

"Why? Because he's in love with her?" Marisa teased.

"Pretty much."

"WHAT?! I was joking! Who would want to be in love with THAT creep?"

"Her name is Princess Peach." Mario said.

"So Bowser's in love with a fruit?"

"Nah, Peach is human just like us. He wants to impress her and win her affection, but Peach likes Mario instead, so of course, that makes him jealous, he kidnaps her, these two square off all the time, Peach is saved, it's your average life in the Mushroom Kingdom." Luigi explained. "It's not just any random day either, it's always Tuesday for some bizarre reason."

"A Koopa King and a human princess. Huh, wonder what the baby would look like." Polari said and then thought of a humanoid-Koopa hybrid. "Blegh! Anyone got any space bleach?"

Rosalina shuddered. "I don't even want to know…"

"So what happened with you?" Mario asked to Marisa.

"Well, he invaded Gensokyo for some strange reason and kidnapped Reimu oddly enough. I tried to stop him, but that wizard dude sent me blasting away to that planet."

"Alright, I guess that settles that then." Luigi said. "We all have a common enemy to beat!"

"Oh yeah!" Marisa nodded. "Soooo, where do we start?"

"See that dome over there?" Rosalina pointed to the Terrace. "That is where you'll find Galaxies. We observe them in these domes and can actually go there if we want to. The more Power Stars you have, the farther you get to go. I'm assuming there's a galaxy you can go to that is nearby."

"Alright, let's-a go!" Mario said as they took off.

"Hey, wait for me! I need to explain something to you!" Polari said as he took off after them while Rosalina sighed.

"I need to rest…" She said as she walked over to one of the couches near the library and sat down.

"Why isn't mama going to the bedroom?" A Luma wondered.

"Duh, the bedroom is locked. There's no way she can open it up on her own." Another Luma said.

"Oooh, right."

End BGM

"Alright, let's see here…" Polari looked through the telescope. "It looks like the only galaxy available is Good Egg Galaxy. I have to warn ya though, the evil ratings I'm picking up on this galaxy is off the charts! So, be careful."

"You got it!" Marisa said as they launched straight for Good Egg Galaxy.

"Good luck, you three." Polari saluted.


A little bit later

"Hey, I think I see it!" Marisa said, pointing over to the galaxy in front of them.

"This is gonna be fun!" Mario grinned as the trio landed on the planet.

BGM: Egg Planet (Super Mario Galaxy)

"Nice place!" Luigi said.

"Yeah, this is awesome!" Marisa said as they wandered around the planet, where they noticed a few Octoombas going about their day, collecting Star Bits as they went around, while some Slurples hopped over to an unsuspecting Luigi who was getting some Star Bits off of a tree, and then they latched on to him.

"Ack! Get it off! GET THEM OFF!" Luigi yelled, while Mario pulled them off of him and kicked them away.

"You okay?" Mario asked.

"Yeah." Luigi said with a nod as they walked up a slope, which, thanks to the planet's gravity, had them stick to the ground while Marisa kicked a Goomba away.

"I wonder if there's a faster way to collect Star Bits without having to manually get them?" Marisa wondered. "Eh, I'm sure we'll think of something." She said as they came across a Luma.

"I'll help you get to the next planet!" He said and then transformed into a Sling Star which launched them up to a Launch Star which launched them straight to another planet, consisting of rolling boulders and mud.

"The mud will slow you down if you hop into it!" A Luma warned. "There are also five star chips for you to grab, but mind the boulders!"

"The boulders?" Marisa asked, looking at them rolling around. "Pfft, I got this." She said, summoning a Deep Ecological Bomb in her hands. "Alright, let's see how much damaged this bad boy will do powered up!" She said with a smirk, pulling her arm back as her Luma made her glow along with the bomb. "HIYAH!" She yelled, throwing it at the middle, and causing a huge explosion that made a shockwave that went through the entire planet and destroyed all the boulders in the process, but it also knocked the trio down too.

"Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed as he got back up.

"Holy cow! I wasn't expecting that kind of thing!" Luigi exclaimed as Marisa got back up.

"Love it!" Marisa grinned as she went about to collect the piles of Star Bits while also collecting the Star Chips with the Bros, where a Launch Star appeared where they went over and launched themselves to a smaller planet where they saw a Piranha Plant snoozing. "Aww, look at the little guy sleeping!"

"Those things are vicious." Mario said and then explained to Marisa what they do.

"Are you serious?" Marisa asked as both of them nodded. "Well, it could be worse." She said. "I mean, they could probably sprout legs, go inside a pot and kick some serious ass while in the pot." She said as the Mario Bros whistled.

"Remind me why a Piranha Plant got into the roster again?" Luigi whispered.

"I blame Crazy Hand." Mario said as they went to take out the little guy, where a vine sprouted up as they took the vine and launched to the planet above them where they saw two ways they can go to, where Luigi decided to go to the Warp Pipe while Mario and Marisa took the other path, where Marisa flew above the boulders while giving Mario a ride as they safely landed near the Spiny Piranha Plant.

"Enjoyed the ride?" Marisa asked.

"That was a unique experience." Mario chuckled as they saw the Spiny Piranha Plant calling up a few of its smaller friends where Marisa went to throw danmaku at the little ones and kicked them away while Mario did a spin attack on a Stretch Plant to knock the Spiny Piranha Plant senseless as it tried to slam into Marisa, but it was quickly destroyed.

"Thanks, dude!" Marisa smiled as they then grabbed the vine that grew and went to the other planet where Luigi landed near them.

"So, what did I miss?" Luigi asked.

"Destroying plants, how about you?" Marisa asked.

"Oh you know, stepping on switches while surrounded by black holes, the usual." Luigi replied.

"Ah, neat… wait, what?"

"My thoughts exactly." Luigi said as they went to the top of the planet and climbed a few rocks while taking care of a few Octoombas, where Luigi broke the crystal containing the Launch Star and the three of them launched off, where the Launch Star took them to a planet with a large egg on it, that they just landed on.

End BGM

"I think we broke something." Luigi said as they hopped off as they saw the egg starting to move around, as it had seemed to sprout a tail while it was at it. "What in the world…?"

"Hmm, do you think we should hit the tail?" Mario wondered.

"I don't see why not." Marisa shrugged as Mario nodded and walked over to it, where he did a spin attack on the tail, where it launched up in the air… and it came back to the egg, slamming into it and cracking it, revealing the monster that was inside it. Dino Piranha.

"Uh, Petey, is that you?" Luigi asked, to which it roared loudly in response. "I'll take that as a no!"

BGM: Rowdy Rumble (Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix)

The Dino Piranha charged right for them, where the trio quickly avoided the charge. "Well, now it's pissed!" Marisa exclaimed.

"We gotta attack the tail!" Mario exclaimed. "We gotta distract it first!"

"OH NO! I am not being the bait!" Luigi complained, diving away when Dino Piranha charged at him.

"I got this." Marisa said. "HEY BUDDY! OVER HERE!" She yelled, catching Dino Piranha's attention as he ran straight for her while Mario ran toward Dino Piranha, doing his signature triple jump before diving for the tail and then doing a spin attack to have the tail go up, distracting Dino Piranha as he turned around, only to get smacked into the head, knocking some petals off of him.

"Yeah!" Luigi grinned.

"Take that!" Marisa grinned, but then Dino Piranha turned red and screamed loudly. "Uh oh…"

Dino Piranha charged for Marisa and Luigi, but they dodged the attack as Luigi had an idea. "Mario! Trade me places!"

"Got it!" Mario said as he jumped toward Luigi and the two of them high fived where Luigi then made his away around the pissed off dino plant as it tried to charge for Mario and Marisa, but they dodged the attacks while Luigi did a spin attack to do the same thing, but no petals fell this time as Dino Piranha turned to Luigi, making him pale a bit while sweatdropping as he dove for cover.

"Well, that didn't work!" Luigi exclaimed.

"I got it!" Marisa said, summoning another Deep Ecological Bomb and holding it, aiming at the angry Dino Piranha that was chasing after Mario. "HEY!" She yelled, catching his attention and ran straight for Marisa, where she smirked and threw the Deep Ecological Bomb right into his mouth. "Bullseye!" She smirked, before realizing he was still coming right for him. "Uh oh!" She exclaimed and dove out of the way as Dino Piranha turned around and roared… and then the bomb blew up, along with the upper half of the angry plant, leaving its lower body to fall to the ground and blood spilled everywhere.

End BGM

"Well, that's one way to take care of a plant…" Mario said, sweatdropping as they saw Dino Piranha's upper half, or what's left of it, floating in space where no gravity would take it.

"Heh, and to think I was just going to give it indigestion." Marisa said with a sheepish shrug.

"Blegh, okay, why am I the only one covered in blood?" Luigi groaned, having blue-ish blood all over him.

"I dunno… but hey, look at that!" Marisa said, pointing to the center of the planet where a Power Star appeared.

"Alright, let's take it!" Mario said.

"Hope Rosalina has a washing machine and a shower." Luigi said hopefully as they grabbed the Power Star and took off back to the Observatory.

Moments later, however, a heavenly light appeared on the planet and a small girl walked out of it. "Oh Dino Piranha~! I'm baaaaack~! And this time, I've brought you some breakfaaaast~!" She said in a motherly voice, completely unaware of what happened as she was looking down at the tray. "Hope you like scrambled eggs and french toa- AAAAAAAAAH!" She screamed, dropping her tray as she saw Dino Piranha's remains. "Wh-wh-WHAT HAPPENED?!" She yelled as tears fell from her eyes as she looked over the remains with her hands over her eyes. "Who… who did this?!" She quietly wondered as she put her hands down. "No… I wanted to watch my precious child hatch and grow up to be an adult!" She said, quietly sobbing… before she clenched her fists and her eyes burned with rage. "Oh… WHEN I FIND WHOEVER DID THIS, I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!"


BGM: Luma (Super Mario Galaxy)

A small girl walked around and hummed to herself when she noticed a strange object in the distance. Curiously, she wandered over to the stage object, and spotted a lone pink little star next to it, who looked incredibly sad. "Oh, are you okay?" The small girl asked.

"Yes…"

"What's your name?"

"I'm Luma… and I'm waiting for my mama. She's coming for me on a comet!" The Luma said. "I've been waiting for her day and night!"

"On a comet? Hmm, curious…" The little girl mused before smiling at the Luma. "Don't worry, I'll wait for you!"

"Thank you!" The Luma cried with joy as the little girl held up her pinky and gently shook the Luma's small hand.

"Hmm… I have an idea!" The little girl said as she took off to her home with the little Luma following her and then they went inside. "Daddy!"

"Hmm? What is it, sweetheart?"

"May I borrow your telescope? This little Luma is waiting for his mother who is riding a comet."

The father chuckled. "Sure, sweetheart." He said.

"Yay! Thank you, daddy!" She smiled as they went into his room.

The father chuckled. "Such an imagination, that little one." He then turned to his wife. "She gets it from you, ya know."

"Oh, nonsense! She gets it from you." She said in defense as the little girl walked out with the telescope and planted it on the ground near the space ship.

"Alright, let's look for that comet!" The little girl said and the Luma nodded, with the girl looking through the night sky with the telescope, looking for hours on end, then the hours turned into days, then weeks, then months… and then finally, a few years go by and nothing really happened since then. "Aaaagh, at this rate, I'll be an old lady by the time we find that comet!"

"She should be out there somewhere." The Luma said hopefully, and then the girl had an idea.

"Wait a second! How about we go look for her instead?" She suggested. "That way, we may run into her!"

"That's a good idea! But, what do we do for transportation?" He wondered as they looked at the space ship near them.

"My dad knows a guy." The girl smiled, and about a few hours later, a Koopa mechanic was done fixing it up.

"There ya go!" He said.

"Thank you!" The girl smiled, hugging the Koopa before they hopped into the spaceship. "Let's go!"

"Yeah!" The Luma exclaimed as the ship hummed to life before they took off into outer space, looking for Luma's lost mother.

End BGM


Rosalina woke up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Mmm… that dream again?" She wondered to herself as she got up and stretched before walking away from the couch.


Ooooh yeah, I just did what I just did! Y'all might need some tissues though.

Also, we maaaaay have an interesting boss fight in the near future. Hehehe.

Oh hey, what do you know, we actually have a Nintendo Direct tomorrow! And most likely, we'll get another character DLC announcement for Smash! Place your bets, y'all! Who is going to come Smash with us?

Considering it'll definitely be another WTF character (Looking at you, Piranha Plant and Joker!), it's time for a bold prediction! We're either going to get: A TF2 Rep (Curse you random TF2 Smash Remix music I found a few weeks ago!), an Overwatch Rep (I had this dream a few months back that Moira, of all people, showed up on the Smash Blog...), Chell, Gordon Freeman, Master Chief, Lara Croft, Reimu...

One friend suggested Scorpion since MK 11 is coming to the Switch.

Another suggested Crash.

Another suggested literally anyone from Danganronpa. (I think he specifically mentioned Ibuki? I think it was Ibuki...)

Aside from me being silly with these predictions, my one true hope is the knuckleheaded Keyblade Wielder himself. Oh, please let it be him!
