BGM: Rosalina in the Observatory 1 (Super Mario Galaxy)
"I do not know of this Wii thing, Polari." Rosalina said. "It has been so long since I've been to Earth, we may have missed some pop culture."
"I wonder what nonsense could be going on over there. A competitive scene with falling blocks? Handheld mobile devices? The possibilities could be endless." Polari said.
That first one sounded oddly specific. Rosalina thought.
"If anything, human dancing could be high tech!" A Luma exclaimed. "Wonder if they figured out The Robot."
"Uh, guys? We got company!" Another Luma caught their attention as they saw an airship approaching them.
"Oh come on, NOW what?!" A third yelled.
"Kicking us while we're down, they are truly evil!" Polari exclaimed, while Mario walked out of the Terrace to see what the commotion was all about.
"Mama mia, what's going on?" Mario wondered.
"I dunno, but they're not going to get away so easily." Rosalina said, readying her wand as the Airship docked at the garage, and then Marisa hopped off.
"Hey guys!" Marisa waved, walking over to them.
"Did she hijack an airship? Impressive!" Polari said, and then Nitori hopped off of the ship. "But who's that?"
On instinct, Rosalina aimed her wand at Nitori. "Who are you!" She yelled while Mario went for the defensive.
"Whoa!" Nitori exclaimed, raising her hands up.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Easy on that wand!" Marisa said, getting between her and the wand. "She's a friend! Not an enemy."
"Then why was she commandeering THAT airship?" Rosalina demanded to know.
"Because I hijacked it when this Bowser guy was attacking Gensokyo!" Nitori explained.
"It's true!" Another voice said as Alice hopped down. "In fact, other Youkai hijacked other airships that were in the area but we've lost contact with them. They could be anywhere in this universe."
"And how should we trust you?" Mario asked.
"Hello! Did you not hear me say "friend"?" Marisa asked.
"They're friendly!" Luigi called out and jumped off the ship, while the Toad Brigade climbed off of the airship. "Believe me, one of them helped me when I was stuck to a tree."
Mario eased up. "Oh, okay then." He said while Rosalina relaxed herself.
"What are your names?" Rosalina asked.
"Nitori Kawashiro, the best Engineer Kappa of Gensokyo!" Nitori said proudly.
"Alice Margatroid, a Youkai puppetmaster, and neighbor of this knucklehead right here." She said, referring to Marisa.
"Hey, who are you calling a knucklehead?" Marisa chuckled a bit.
"I see." Rosalina put her wand away. "Forgive my hostility, those airships attacked this Observatory not too long ago, so it had us all on edge when we saw one of them return."
"Oh, sorry about that." Nitori blushed a bit. "Had I known, we would've all piled into Captain Toad's ship."
"There's plenty of room in there!" Captain Toad grinned.
"Oh, you also have to forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Rosalina." She introduced herself.
"Rosie over here is the Queen of the Cosmos, though she goes by Princess because she says "Queen" doesn't suit her." Marisa said.
"Hmm, I'm sure she has her reasoning. Honestly, if she says she wants to be Princess, then let her be called that." Alice said. "There's nothing wrong with that at all."
"Thank you." Rosalina said with a nod.
"Alright, now that we've been acquainted with Marisa's friends, you oughta collect more Power Stars." Polari suggested.
"We were just planning on doing that." Marisa said as they went back to the Terrace where she and the Bros brought the girls up to speed before they took off to Honeyhive Galaxy, although there was another galaxy that caught Nitori's attention and she took off over there.
"Hey!" A Luma flew up to the Toad Brigade. "You have that one Mushroom ship, right?"
"Yeah." Captain Toad nodded.
"Well now, why don't we make you a few more ships? That way, you can explore the vast universe."
"That sounds like a great idea!" Captain Toad grinned.

In Honeyhive…
BGM: The Honeyhive (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Huh, nice place." Mario said after they landed.
"Hmm, wasn't Nitori with us?" Alice wondered.
"I think she got sidetracked by something." Marisa said as they wandered around the planet.
"There's WHAT going on at the Observation Deck?!" A Honeybee yelled.
"You heard right. The neighbors are acting up again!"
"Ooooh, I HATE Mandibugs! Why did they have to invade our home?!"
"I dunno, but the queen's worried that they're acting up again."
"Who's acting up again?" Mario asked as they approached them after overhearing their conversation.
"Mandibugs. They're vicious little bugs that hate everything within their sight, so much so that they attack anything in their way!"
"We can go put a stop to it! Where's the Observation Deck?" Marisa asked.
"Up there!" The Honeybee pointed up to a planet near them. "The Launch Stars will get you there faster."
"Gotcha." Marisa nodded as the four of them took off where the Bros did their famous jumps over the steep hill while the girls flew over the hill and then they walked further where they saw a Wiggler going about his day.
"Uh oh!" Luigi paled.
"What's wrong?" Marisa asked.
"That's a Wiggler. They tend to get angry really easily." Mario replied.
"What, this cute thing?" Marisa asked, gently petting the Wiggler to which it smiled back at her. "Hey Alice! Come pet this cute little guy!"
Alice said nothing and then knelt down, gently scratching his head. "Heh, cute." She said, as the Bros used this distraction to get by, as they then ground pounded on the button near the wiggler, where a bridge popped up, but their combined ground pound was enough to knock the girls and Wiggler over.
"Ooof!" Marisa winced. "Watch where you're butt stomping!"
"Sorry!" Luigi said and then realized the Wiggler was upside down. "Uh oh!" He exclaimed as he grabbed Marisa and Alice's arms and pulled them away.
"Whoa! Why are you pulling us away?" Alice wondered, and then heard the sounds of the Wiggler getting angry as it ran around in circles.
"That's why." Luigi said.
"They're docile when they're calm, but when they're angry, they pretty much attack anyone in sight." Mario replied as they ground pounded a pedestal, where a new section has opened up, where the bros then wall jumped while the girls flew up to meet them where they walked over to a Launch Star and the four of them launched to some very small planets that were inhabited by Piranha Plants and Wigglers where they went to the next planet via Sling Star where the Bros hit the ? Coin and four Rainbow Stars appeared.
"Oh baby!" Both of them yelled while the girls looked at them with raised eyebrows.
"What are you guys so excited about?" Marisa asked.
"Time to go crazy!" Mario exclaimed, grabbing two and throwing them at Marisa and Alice, absorbing the Rainbow Stars where their whole bodies were glowing rainbows.
"What on earth?!" Alice exclaimed.
"Oh, I don't feel so hot…" Marisa groaned. "I feel like I ate a bad mushroom!"
"You're invincible! Go wild!" Luigi exclaimed as the two of them ran around and knocked several Wigglers silly while Marisa and Alice joined in on the fun while they all jumped through the hole and landed at the Observation Deck right as the effects ended.
"Okay… I'm gonna need a moment." Marisa groaned, holding on to her head. "Ugh…"
"G-give me a second…" Alice panted.
"Yeah, that's what happened to us the first time we absorbed an Invincibility Star. You get used to it." Luigi said.
"Oh, lovely." Marisa shook it off. "You feeling okay, Alice?"
"I'll live." Alice said with a nod as they walked forth and knocked out some Mandibugs, where the girls noticed a planet on the horizon. "Hey, Marisa."
"I see it too." Marisa said and turned to the bros. "You guys go on ahead, we'll go see what's over there."
"Okay." Mario nodded as they split up, where Luigi ground pounded on a switch to get the windmill turning and then the bros hopped up on a platform and got to the top where they saw the Stink Bug Parent minding their own business and then saw the bros, and went right to attack the two, both of them dodging while Luigi jumped up and ground pounded the little baby Mandibug, to which the parent saw this and screamed in anger, attacking Luigi but he rolled out of the way and then whistled, catching its attention and charging toward him, but Luigi rolled out of the way in time, but unfortunately for the Mandibug, Mario was right there waiting for him as he jumped in the air and hammered him on the back, flattening it to destroy it, and then a Power Star appeared.
"Oh yeah!" Luigi grinned, high fiving his bro.

With the girls…
The girls landed on the planet. "Alright, what seems to be the problem here?" Marisa wondered.
"Hmm…" Alice rubbed her chin in thought and then heard something above her, and on instinct, she pushed Marisa out of the way and dove the opposite way, where Bugaboom landed between them. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine!" Marisa said as Bugaboom roared at them. "Alright, big guy, let's rumble!"
BGM: Yo, Go Crazy! (Shantae and the Pirate's Curse)
Bugaboom charged right for Marisa, but she jumped to the side while Alice fired lasers from her dolls before pulling out a Spell Card. "Maiden's Bunraku!" She yelled, striking Bugaboom as he turned around and tried to leap for the Youkai, but she flew back while Marisa unleashed Orreries Sun on him, and with the Luma powering her up, they got bigger and struck the Mandibug, and then Alice flew down and scissor kicked it for good measure. "Dude, when did you learn that?"
"Meiling." Alice replied as Bugaboom growled and then grew wings, flying toward the duo but they split up as Bugaboom chased after Alice. "Typical." She said, summoning her Shanghai doll where she flew over and cut him up before Alice had her return before it bit her as he still kept going while Marisa stood on her broom, having the Luma charge up her power, as Marisa unleashed Blazing Star, smacking into Bugaboom before Marisa grabbed her broom and swung it down to send him careening into the ground.
"Ha! Eat it!" Marisa grinned, but Bugaboom got back up, glowing red with anger and flying faster and going sideways to chase after the two once again, this time going after Marisa, but then Alice had her dolls pull out their lances and then had them charge at the angry Mandibug, where they clipped his wings and fell to the ground.
"I'm ending this." Alice said, summoning her Goliath Doll where it fell on the dazed Mandibug, crushing Bugaboom on the spot, as he roared in agony before falling over, disappearing from the two where a Power Star emerged from it's disappeared corpse.
End BGM
"Oh yeah, baby!" Marisa grinned as she took the star.
"Well now, let's head back to the Observatory." Alice said as they flew off together with the Star guiding them.
Meanwhile, with Nitori…
Nitori had found herself at the Loopdeeloop Galaxy, where a Penguin had taught her how to surf on a manta ray before she had taken off to the starting line, where a few Penguins had joined her. "You're going down, woman." A Penguin told her.
"Oh, is that a fact?" Nitori asked with a smirk before getting into position where a Lakitu came flying toward them.
"Alright! One lap around the course!" He said, where they readied themselves. "On your mark, get set… GO!"
BGM: Aquatic Race (Super Mario Galaxy)
Nitori blazed ahead while the penguins were right behind her where she leaned to the right to make the Manta Ray turn to the right on the first curve, where she noticed a Penguin going ahead of her. "Eat water, loser!" A Penguin yelled.
"Oh no, I'm not the one who's going to do that." Nitori smirked, as she started to manipulate the water underneath her to have her go faster and blazed right through him.
"What in blazes?!" He asked as Nitori launched off of the ramp.
"WAHOOOO!" Nitori yelled as she landed on the ground and kept at it, making a sharp turn on the last part of the course as the penguins tried to catch up to her, but it was no use and then Nitori went right through the finish line. "Oh yeah!"
End BGM
"She's… she's not even human! How did she do that?!" A Penguin wondered.
"I think she picked the fasted Manta I've ever seen!" Another exclaimed while Nitori took the Power Star as a trophy and then she took off back to the Observatory.
Meanwhile, with the Toads…
"Alright, I think this goes here and- wait, where did Toadette go?" The Green Toad wondered.
"I think she had to go do something." Yellow Toad said and then they saw her coming in for a landing, where she gently landed on the ground near them.
"Where'd you go?" Captain Toad asked.
"Oh, went Galaxy traveling." Toadette said, pulling out a Power Star. "I have to say, the Flipswitch Galaxy was kinda boring."
"That bad?" Blue Toad wondered.
"Only had one planet, and it had flipswitches everywhere. A black hole in the middle, electric fences, a platform with spikes on it, and one Sentry Beam that was easy to avoid. That was it."
"Well, it could've been worse." Purple Toad said.
"Yeah." Toadette nodded as the Power Star went into the core.
Back in the Terrace…
"Where did you go?" Marisa asked Nitori.
"Loopdeeloop Galaxy. It was a racing course made entirely out of water." Nitori said.
"So you were in your element, nice!" Marisa said, then noticed the bros looking at her weird. "She manipulates water."
"Ooooh, gotcha." Luigi nodded.
"We have detected an enemy base!" Polari exclaimed. "I only hope they're not misusing the Grand Star." He said as they all looked at each other with a nod and blasted off to the Galaxy that was before them.
BGM: A Tense Situation (Super Mario Galaxy)
They landed on the planet where they had noticed a BIll Blaster on the other side of the planet when they were flying in, and noticed a cage that contained a trapped Launch Star, but Marisa decided to blow the cage up instead with one of her bombs, which knocked the Goombeetles off their feet. "So, this Luma inside your hat powers up your spell cards?" Nitori asked.
"Yup!" Marisa nodded.
"Neat!" Nitori said as they went into the Launch Star and flew off to the other planet, landing on the ground where the sirens started blaring.
End BGM
"That can't be good." Marisa said and then they noticed an airship flying in, with laughter filling the air and they noticed a Shy Guy commanding the airship.
"General Guy!" Mario exclaimed.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Mario Bros and friends!" General Guy exclaimed. "Don't worry about Princess Peach and that Miko! They're in good hands!"
"What did you do to Reimu?! Where is she!" Marisa demanded.
"It's top secret! But, let's not worry about that for now. What you do need to worry about, however… is getting crushed!" General Guy laughed. "GET 'EM, MEGALEG!" He yelled as he flew off, and then different sirens started blaring.
BGM: Megaleg (Super Mario Galaxy)
The party saw the massive robot walking up to them. "MAMA MIA! THAT'S HUGE!" Luigi yelled.
Mario noticed something as Megaleg slammed one of his legs into the ground. "Luigi! We can climb on that foot!"
"Gotcha!" Luigi nodded.
"We'll distract it!" Nitori told them as the girls flew up in the while the Bros climbed up the gigantic robot. "Hey big guy! Over here!"
Megaleg looked at the girls before firing homing Bullet Bills at them, where they quickly avoided the Bullet Bills and then they fired their danmaku on the giant robot, being careful not to hit the bros as they jumped over the Bullet Bills and then made their way over the gears before they started walking on the head.
Megaleg felt the Bros on its head, as cannons came out of its head and fired Bullet Bills everywhere to try and get rid of them, while firing a Banzai Bill from its mouth at the girls, but Marisa fired a Master Spark to hit the Banzai Bill, making it explode on contact while Alice made a formation with her dolls and had them fire lasers while Nitori brought out a rocket launcher of some kind and fired torpedoes, hitting Megaleg while Mario did a backflip and hammered the Bullet Bill over to the case that held the Grand Star prisoner, breaking it open.
"Aw yeah!" Luigi grinned, but then another cage formed and then a defensive barrier came up, and then more Bill Blasters popped up. "Oh no…" Luigi paled.
"Not going down easy!" Mario exclaimed while Megaleg aimed at Marisa and formed a bigger cannon for its mouth, firing a King Bill at her.
"Whoa!" Marisa yelled as she quickly avoided the King Bill, but then she noticed it turn around. "Oh, you're a determined big fella, aren't you?"
"Hey Marisa! Guide it to that Megaleg thing!" Alice yelled.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Marisa exclaimed as she flew up to its eyes and turned around. "Come on! You can go faster than that!" Marisa yelled at the King Bill while Alice and Nitori still unleashed bullethell on Megaleg, while the Bros were working their way over after destroying the barrier with a few Bullet Bills and then they guided one toward them before they jumped back, as the Bullet Bill hit the cage to destroy it… right at the same time when Marisa flew up and the King Bill hit Megaleg dead center, where they saw the inside of Megaleg starting to light up. "Uh oh, she's gonna blow!"
Alice and Nitori flew over to the Bros and picked them up to take them to safety right as Megaleg blew up from the King Bill, sending shrapnel everywhere while Nitori formed a water shield to protect them from the debris.
End BGM
"Thanks!" Mario said.
"No prob!" Nitori grinned as they flew back down to the planet where the Grand Star was waiting for them.
"Alright, let's head back!" Marisa said as they grabbed the Grand Star and flew off.
Meanwhile, at Sweet Sweet Galaxy…
"Oh my goodness! This place looks so heavenly!" Yuyuko exclaimed and then flew over to it as she carved out a piece in a candy wall and then ate it. "Oh! That's so GOOD! Hey Youmu! You gotta try this!" Yuyuko tuned around. "…Youmu? Youmuuuuu!" She called out, but Youmu didn't come. "Hmm, I could've sworn she was with me." She said, not realizing she abandoned ship when her nose picked up on something sweet, unaware that she left Youmu by her lonesome. "Oh well, her loss!" She grinned and started eating everything in sight, right as the Toad Brigade came into view.
"400 stinkin' Star Bits for THIS galaxy?" Yellow Toad asked.
"Either way, it looks so good! Let's dock here on this cake planet!" Captain Toad said as they did so. "Now, I could've sworn we were picking up on a Power Star here, but where is it?" He wondered.
"Could be anywhere." Blue Toad said.
"Guys! Look!" Toadette called out, pointing to Yuyuko tearing the place apart.
"Oh. My. Goodness. She's eating everything in sight!" Green Toad yelled.
"Who does she think she is? Kirby? Pac-Man?" Captain Toad wondered.
"Oh no! I'm not letting her eat this delicious cake first!" Yellow Toad said, grabbing a piece of the cake and started eating it, but was a bit slow because Yuyuko got to the cake.
"Hey, you gonna eat that?" Yuyuko asked before she dove right in.
"Abandon planet!" Captain Toad yelled as they went to the Toad ship while Yuyuko ate the whole cake, but not before throwing out a Power Star that the Toads quickly grabbed, and when Yuyuko was done, they saw that the only things that were left were forks and knives.
"THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!" All the Toads yelled.
"Come on, let's go." Captain Toad said as they flew off back to the Observatory.
"Hmm? Hey, wait up!" Yuyuko went after them, curious on where they were going.
Sweet Sweet Galaxy is no more. Alas, it was so young and had so much to live for, only to be eaten alive by an adorable ghost.
