Chapter 2: Super Mario Bros.

Daisy

"Looks like Peach dyed her hair" said Pit.

"This is Princess Daisy of Sarasaland." Palutena informed Pit. "She first appeared in Super Mario Land, in which she was captured by the evil alien, Tatanga."

"So is there anything different with her so she wouldn't be a Peach clone?"

"She's a tomboy at heart and enjoys sports and parties. Also racing, the Olympics, and anything else that involves multiple players."

"So was she in any other main adventures?"

"I said she's enjoys everything multiplayer."

Pit thought for a moment and then said, "Oh …. There's really nothing else with her?"

"Correct, but I heard a juicy rumor that Luigi and Daisy like each other."

"Like that will ever be revealed."

Toad

"So this is Toad, huh?" asked Pit.

"Well he is a Toad." said Palutena. "Toads are a race of Mushroom people living in the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Wait, so all this time they've been calling them by their species?"

"It appears so." said Palutena.

"Uhhhhllllleeeee. I don't feel comfortable with this."

"Me too." said Palutena. "But they've …. Yeah. This is something I just can't ignore."

"You're telling me." Pit then thought of something. "Hey, how come Peach isn't a Toad?"

Palutena paused. "…. I don't like where this is going."

"What if in this peaceful looking kingdom, there lies-"

"SORRY, BUT OUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!"

Waluigi

"Lady Palutena, did Waluigi appear in the same game as Wario?" Pit asked the Goddess of Light.

"No, Waluigi made his first appearance in 'Mario Tennis' where he teams up with Wario to compete."

"Uh huh. Before I drop down laughing, did he do anything important?"

"Well he was the main antagonist in 'Mario Party 3' and 'Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix'. But that's just it besides what games Daisy was in."

Pit started laughing uncontrollably. "Oh man, he has got to be the most pointless character in …. Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix? What's that?"

"Aaaah, Mama Mia!" shouted Waluigi.

Paper Mario

"So this is another form of Mario … with an original moveset?" Pit asked with hope.

"Congrats, he is unique!" said Palutena with a smile. "His standard special attack is charging up a hammer attack that will change form with each attack; wood, super, and ultra. He can also call upon three of his partners for an attack kind of like Olimar. He is accompanied by Tippi, Koops, and Bombette. Koops while shoot himself forward and retreat like a boomerang, Bombette will walk a short distance and explode on Paper Mario's command, and Tippi can freeze and opponent who is standing in front of Paper Mario."

"Wow, sound like he could be a very popular fighter." The excited Pit said.

"You want to hear my thoughts?" asked Viridi.

"Let me guess. Paper is made from trees, so Paper Mario is evil and must be stopped to save nature for the deadly forces of humanity." Pit said with a Viridi impression.

"Paper is made from what?!"

Goomba

"Why is a Goomba a fighter?" Pit asked with annoyance.

"I think it has something to do with bread." added Viridi.

"What does bread have to do with any of this?"

"Who cares? Goombas may be weak on their own, but they've worked around it." added Viridi.

"Like what, they figured out how to walk forward and back instead of just left and right?" Pit asked with a smirk.

"Not in this plane of existence." said Viridi. "But over the years they've grew wings, reproduce quickly to slow their enemies down and control the Kiribo Boots to smash any opponent."

Pit was still not amused. "Well I don't know why anyone will think this is a good idea, since ….. what was that about reproducing to slow enemies down?" the shocked Pit asked.

"In Super Mario Bros. 3, some Para-Goombas will fly over Mario or the bride's maid and drop down Micro-Goombas. These Micro-Goombas will latch onto the brothers and slow them down."

Pit eyes bulged. "What kind of parenting is that?!"

"It's a part of nature." said Viridi with pride. "For example; if a cat finds a mouse den and patrol it for a long time, the mother mouse will devour its children to gather up enough protean to find another nest and give birth to-"

"I heard enough!"

Birdo

"So is this another unestablished love interest to a more important Super Mario character?" asked Pit.

"Yes Pit, she is." said Palutena. "She also gets the same treatment as Daisy and Waluigi. But she was a strong enemy in 'Super Mario Bros. 2' besides eggs, she can shoot fireballs at you."

"And that's all you want to know!" said Viridi.

"Don't tell me it's more gross than your cat and mouse story." said Pit nervously.

"Yes Pit, yes it is." Viridi flipped in an old booklet. "I would go into more details, but it just doesn't seem appropriate here. So catch."

The booklet fell from the sky and Pit caught it. He gulped and looked through the page and found one about Birdo. After skimming, his jaw dropped to the ground and slowly walked away.

"Pit, I order you to never tell me what you have learned just now." demanded Palutena.
