Pit was in his room lying on his bed. The television in front of the bed didn't keep his boredom away...he was so bored and being a newcomer was always hard. He wondered what it was like when the very first Smash tournament happened. He also thought that this was boring and then thought that he didn't want to be in this tournament anymore. But-

"Hey!" a familiar voice shouted.

Pit got up and looked outside. Meta Knight was chasing Mario with his sword. Pit decided to just stay and watch. Mario ran down the stairs to the first floor where he knocked over some vases and tables and ran past a green Alloy.

"Hey! No fighting or running in the halls!" the green Alloy shouted.

Meta Knight flew straight at Mario and sliced him with his sword. Mario was sent flying against the wall. Mario kicked Meta Knight's sword out of his hand and as Meta Knight flew to get it back, Mario ran up the stairs to the third (and top) floor which just happened to be also the room Master Hand was in. Meta Knight easily caught up with Mario by flying up to the third room.

"This is revenge for giving Superspicy Curry to my friend!" Meta Knight shouted.

He lifted his sword right as Master Hand and Fox came out of the room.

"NO FIGHTING UNTIL THE SMASH TOURNAMENT OFFICIALLY STARTS!" Master Hand screamed.

"Hey, I just e-mailed this guy named Wario. He looks super cool and I let him join the-" Crazy Hand stopped when he saw that Meta Knight and Mario were fighting before the tournament had started.

"What? You let HIM join!?" Mario yelled out.

"Why don't the trophies behave!? Always causing trouble," Master Hand complained ignoring Mario and Crazy Hand.

He took the sword from Meta Knight.

"If I can't trust you with weapons, then maybe you shouldn't use them," Master Hand told him.

"But sir-ah-err...okay. Fine," Meta Knight said in a sad tone.

Meta Knight flew away. Crazy Hand looked out the window waiting for Wario to arrive.

"Fox. I guess you can join the Smash Hotel. You've been in the tournaments since the very first once. Why not put you in? Here, let's go to the training area," Master Hand told him.

Down in the training area, Fox received a new look, cool new headgear and a new blaster.

"Ah! Cool! This is super awesome! Think Falco can be playable as well?" Fox asked.

"Errr-I don't know really. I need to talk to Crazy Hand about something right now. Go to your room, have fun with your other Smash friends and remember don't get into fights until the tournament starts!" Master Hand told him.

Master Hand flew away and Fox went into a large room where all the other veterans were.

"Oh hi Fox!" Mario greeted him.

"Heh. Cool new gear," Link said.

"Thanks. So, is that Meta Might guy a newcomer?" Fox asked.

Kirby made a strange noise as if he was trying to tell Fox something. Then he said "Poyo".

"Yes. He's called Meta Knight. He's...a friend of Kirby, you could say," Mario explained.

"Any other newcomers?" Fox asked.

Pikachu nodded. He flapped his arms as if they were wings and started pretending he was an angel like Pit and ran around the room. Kirby jumped up smiling and chased him.

"Pit. Angel of Skyworld," Link told him.

"We're trying to give the newcomers trouble again. Oh that brings memories of Melee..." Mario suddenly got a flashback.

Bowser entered his room and found his bed missing.


"WHAT THE HELL?" Bowser yelled out.

Meanwhile, in the room next door, Mario and Luigi were giggling. Bowser immediately told Master Hand.

"But Mario said you were leaving the Smash Hotel. You were quitting...so I thought you wouldn't need that bed. Do you want to take it back to your castle?" Master Hand asked.


"Damn that Mario! Spreading rumors!" Bowser yelled out.

Link also started remembering something.

Ganondorf was walking down the stairs when he felt someone near him. Ganondorf turned around. No one.


"Hmm," Ganondorf grunted and kept walking.

Suddenly, someone pushed him down the stairs and he had a painful trip to the bottom of the stairs. And then Link appeared.

"Don't you just love Cloaking Devices?" Link asked and ran off, as Ganondorf started shouting.

Kirby suddenly stopped chasing Pikachu.

"Hey, Kirby, want to play with us?" Popo asked.

Kirby got an evil smile on his face and then agreed.

"Let's play hide and go seek!" Nana told him.

"We're going to go hide. Kirby, you go look for us!" Popo told him.

Kirby closed his eyes and the Ice Climbers ran away. Five seconds after, Kirby opened his eyes and went to his room to eat more.

Pikachu stopped running around the room and he too, had a flashback.

Mewtwo was in his room training with the Sandbag he had stolen from the two hands. Pikachu and Jigglypuff suddenly burst in and both started hopping in circles, jumping on the bed (with Jigglypuff accidentally tripping and falling off the bed) and continued until Mewtwo grew annoyed.


"OUT!!" Mewtwo yelled.

Jigglypuff started singing, which put Mewtwo to sleep. Soon, Jigglypuff drew on his face and Pikachu turned on the television and changed the channel to Nick Jr. (that annoying children's television program).

"Umm...guys?" Fox was now looking at four people who looked as if they had just been turned to stone.

Fox waved his arm in front of Mario's face. He snapped his fingers. Fox sighed and let out a loud scream.

"Huh?" Mario asked, not aware of anything that had happened.

"Don't you just love Cloaking Dev-huh, wait what?" Link was also not aware of anything.

"That reminds me. Master told me to also go see Ness," Fox said.

He left the room and headed down the stairs, hopped in his Arwing and took off.

"Falco? Do you copy?" Fox asked.

Falco appeared on the screen. Fox was surprised at how bad his graphics were...

"Woah, Fox, you look...awesome!" Falco cried.

"You need to really look as awesome as this. I hope you get in the game...err-that's not what I wanted you for. Have you seen Ness?" Fox asked.

"No," Falco replied.

"Fine. Thanks," Fox said.

The picture of Falco disappeared and Fox turned his Arwing around. He flew up very high in the sky so he could see if Ness was anywhere. However he didn't realize something. He was flying very near a group of birds and some hunter down on the ground might have thought that the Arwing was also a bird so in the end, the Arwing was shot by a bullet.

"OH SH-" Fox didn't finish, as suddenly his Arwing was set on flames. He held his breath.

The Arwing suddenly exploded and Fox fell on the ground, surrounded by grass-he felt dizzy and sick-he slumped on the ground. After he woke up an hour later, he was surprised he wasn't dead. He got up and looked around. He saw Ness and Captain Falcon.

"NESS!" he shouted.

Fox ran over to him and explained that he had told Master Hand the truth about who had really tried to destroy the Smash Hotel with the cannon.

"Mmmm...that's nice. I still wonder if I'm in Brawl though," Ness replied.

Link and Kirby were coming down to the first floor when they smelled a terrible smell that they thought could have killed them.

"WARIO IS HERE!" Wario yelled out entering the room.

He was obviously the one bringing the terrible smell in. Link and Kirby thought he had to be the ugliest Smash Character ever.

"Man, I had been holding that in for almost a week! Oooh, yah! Any chicks in this place?" Wario asked and started laughing.

"Master Hand shouldn't have let this guy in," Link whispered, holding his nose, as he ran back to his room, followed by Kirby.

"Some beer would be nice, man," Wario told Crazy Hand.

"This is not a bar," Crazy Hand told him.

Wario then looked angrily at Crazy, and then thought for a moment. He then started picking his nose and then looked at Crazy Hand again.

"I regret letting you join. Here, come with me," Crazy Hand said and led him to the Training Area.

This wasn't the training area that looked like a Baseball Stadium. Instead, this was a large room, with two punching bags and very soft walls and floor. The training room was just below the entrance, meaning it was underground. While the two were under there, Master Hand kept reading the letters and became frustrated.

"There's way too many people that want to be in this game!" Master Hand shouted.

He heard someone enter his room-it was Sakurai again and this time he was carrying a trophy. He set it on Master's table.

"What's this for?" Master Hand asked looking at the trophy of Captain Falcon's rival, Samurai Goro.

"Assist Trophies," Sakurai 'explained', although it really didn't help much.

"Huh?" Master Hand was puzzled.

"I had an idea of Assist Trophies. They can be like Pokemon and Pokeballs-they're characters that only appear for a little while in matches. They only help a bit," Sakurai explained.

"So, these characters won't join the tournament?" Master asked.

"Not exactly. Like Pokemon released from Pokeballs, they will only appear for a few seconds and then they will leave. I guess it's nice to at least give some characters a chance to be in tournaments and the hotel," Masahiro Sakurai told him.

"Completely understand. Okay," Master Hand said.

He looked at the pile of letters and then got on his computer. He e-mailed Samurai Goro, telling him he would be an Assist Trophy, and explained what Assist Trophies were.

"Yet, there's also many characters that want to be in that I don't know if they should be in or not. I don't know how strong they are," Master Hand told Sakurai.

"Just invite a lot of people who wanna be in the tournament. See all of those people's moves. If they aren't strong enough, kick them out or turn them into assists," Sakurai told him.

"Ah! Okay! I shall e-mail some of the people I will meet with right now," Master Hand said and got on his computer.

Sakurai waited for a few fifteen minutes until Master had finished e-mailing five people. Then, Master Hand turned to Sakurai.

"Ever since I started the Smash Hotel and Smash Tournament, I've been wanting to add a 'Final Smash'. But when I put you in charge of the next Smash tournament, Melee, you know, since you were in charge, I couldn't add the Final Smashes myself," Sakurai told him.

"Are you...saying you want to be in charge of the new tournament?" Master Hand asked.

"Umm...I mean, what I want is to add Final Smashes," Sakurai told him.

"What are those?" Master Hand completely didn't understand.

Sakurai explained that Final Smashes were attacks that released great power. They could only be performed after grabbing a Smash Ball. Each character had a different Final Smash.

"Sounds good. Am I still in charge?" Master asked.

"No," Sakurai said and walked over to Master Hand's seat.

"NO! I wanna be the director, the boss, the manager, the president, the leader, the awesome guy, the one in charge!" Master Hand kept begging him.

Sakurai shook his head and sat down in front of the computer. Master Hand floated in front of Sakurai.

"...But..."

"Listen, I'm sorry. You can still be in the hotel, as the one who welcomes people," Sakurai told him.

"That's Crazy Hand," Master Hand told him.

"Oh. Umm...you can still help me with other things though," Sakurai told him, although Master wasn't so happy.

A sound came from the computer. Sakurai then started smiling and clicked on something. Master Hand leaned over the table to see the computer screen.

"I got an e-mail from my friend, Hideo Kojima!" Sakurai cried out.

He started reading the letter, as Master Hand sighed and walked away. He turned around to see the pile of letters and sighed again. He came down to the first floor where Wario came out of the training room laughing with Crazy Hand behind, except Crazy looked as if he was going to die.

"Hey, Master, what's...wrong?" Crazy Hand asked.

"No, no, no. That is what I should be asking you. What's wrong, Crazy?" Master Hand asked his brother.

"Mmmm-nothing. Wario's Down Special Move almost killed me though. I don't want that guy in this hotel. You?" Crazy replied.

"Well, Sakurai took over this new tournament even though I started Brawl," Master Hand told him and then headed for the door.

"You're not leaving are you?" Crazy Hand asked, as Fox entered the hotel.

Fox ignored Master and Crazy until he got upstairs and saw Master Hand leave. He gasped and ran back down.

"What?" Fox asked.

"He left. Sakurai took over. Everything's fine," Crazy Hand said as Fox walked back to his room, not taking his eyes off the door that Master had just left through.

Back upstairs, Sakurai read his e-mail.

Dear Sakurai,

See, I tried e-mailing you a long time ago when I heard you had plans to make a new Smash tournament. I wanted to include Snake...Solid Snake...in your new tournament. However, once I heard you had quit and Master Hand had taken over I realized Master would have never let Snake join. I still don't know who's in charge of this Brawl thing but if that's you Sakurai, I would like to ask you if Snake could join the Brawl.

Fine. I work for Konami and I know you work for Nintendo, but I really want Snake to appear outside Konami! You're my friend and I really wish you would be able to include Snake in Brawl. Please reply soon.

- Hideo Kojima

Below, a picture of Snake was shown with Hideo Kojima. Sakurai laughed and got up. He walked outside. The news that Master had left and Sakurai had now taken over had already gone around the Smash Hotel and soon, somehow, even the Melee characters knew. Sakurai came down to the first floor, to the restaurant where he found Link, Mario, Pikachu, Fox and Kirby eating in the largest table, in another table Pit and Meta Knight and in another one Wario, all by himself.

It must be lunch time for everyone at the Smash hotel or something. Sakurai walked up to the counter where Crazy Hand greeted him. All of the veterans and newcomers didn't keep their eyes off Sakurai. Sakurai ordered one slice of pizza, which Mario was also having (he had two slices though). Sakurai got his plate and walked over to a table where he sat by himself and watched some Alloys enter the room and also order some food.

The veterans looked at Sakurai, while the three newcomers started worrying more about eating that paying attention to some guy who they really didn't care about. The Alloys completely ignored the fact that Sakurai was there.

"Good to...have you back," Mario told Sakurai.

"I always feel happy being here again," Sakurai replied.

"Although we will miss Master."

Sakurai didn't say anything. He too would miss Master. In the very first tournament, the original Smash Bros., Master Hand had helped Sakurai A LOT by preparing the tournaments and he even challenged some of the players to fights.

"Who really cared about a floating hand anyway?" Wario asked.

Link angrily turned to Wario and prepared to shoot him with his bow and arrow. Sakurai yelled out "NO!" so Link lowered his arrow and then groaned.

So...that's what I've got so far. Please read and review! And thanks for all your reviews!
