Summary: There are only a few minutes until the coveted third installment is out. As the long awaited moment approaches, the original 8 fighters reminisce. This is a sort of short remembrance of the original Super Smash Bros.

A Look Back

The Great Fox (March 8th, 2008 11:57 pm)

Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox, Samus, Yoshi and Donkey Kong looked out the cockpit window. After 7 long years, the friends plus some of the veterans and newcomers were going back down to fight. DK asked Mario, "Yo, Mario. Remember 9 years ago, when the 8 of us beat the crud out of each other?" Mario replied, "I do-a indeed. Link, it was an honor for you-a to be the first-a challenge in the adventure." Link closed his eyes, smiled and blushed. "DK, old buddy. Beating you-a as a giant was a challenge, a challenge I felt-a was a true-a privilege to-a take," continued Mario. DK said, "Aw, shucks, thanks Mario."

Fox added in, "Let's not forget Yoshi and Kirby, whose team battles proved to remind us no battle is easy." Samus nodded in agreement, and she lifted her visor and kissed Yoshi on his big round nose and Kirby on the top of his pink head. They both blushed crimson. Pikachu pointed at Samus, "Pika pika pika pikachu, pika pika chu." The translation referred to how complicated her battles always were, and Pikachu hugged Samus' metallic leg. Under her visor, Samus gratefully smiled.

Mario went outside, and the other 7 followed suit. "And last but-a certainly not least-a, we can't forget-a them-a," he said, pointing to the rest of the fighters who followed and were about to follow in their footsteps. Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ness, Jigglypuff, the Ice Climbers, Peach, Zelda, Bowser (who Mario looked at with resentment), Ganondorf (who Link looked at with resentment), Lucario, the Pokemon Trainer, Captain Olimar (with his Pikmin, of course), Lucas, King Dedede (who Kirby looked at with a little resentment), Marth, Ike, Falco, Mr. Game and Watch, Link, Solid Snake, Wario (who Mario also looked at with resentment), Meta-Knight, Pit, Diddy Kong, R.O.B., and finally Sonic looked at them with smiles on their faces.

Sonic stepped forward. Mario did likewise. "I'm ready. We're ready. But the question is, are you guys ready?" asked the blue blur. Mario first looked at his former company rival, then at the fighters behind Sonic, then at the fighters behind himself. Then he pulled his arm back, and instead of saying "Lets-a Go!" he punched his fist in the air and yelled "LLLLLEEEET'S-A BRAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWL!!!!!!" The surrounding crowd of Smashers punched the air and cheered.

At that moment, the clock struck midnight. And with that, the 35 cheering fighters dived to the earth, ready to fight once more.
