After riding the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Mario discovered that the next showing of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular was very soon. So, without any further ado, he led the gang (including a recently recovered Luigi) over to the show and got seated.

"You know, I think they pick out people from the audience to participate in the show," Daisy remembered, "Do you think they'll choose us?"

"Only one way to find out!" Mario answered, holding his hand up high.

Sure enough, Mario got picked. However, he and his friends weren't the only ones excited. Hiding under the stage, Bowser and Bowser Jr. were lying in wait, yet another scheme on their minds.

"Hey, Pop, I've always wanted Mario shish kebab!" Bowser Jr. snickered.

"Heh, heh… I think it's about time that plumber got the 'point'! Ha ha ha!" Bowser agreed.

The duo walked over to one of the numerous spikes that were resting under the stage, waiting to shoot up at any moment.

"These spikes are supposed to come up when that Jones guy walks over them," Bowser explained, resting his hand on one of them, "Of course, since Mario is coming on the stage right now, I say we send this thing up a little early… and right into that plumber!"

"Uh… Dad?" Bowser Jr. interrupted, a little confused, "You already explained it to me… Why are you saying it again?"

"So they would hear it," Bowser replied, pointing towards the 'fourth wall'.

"But wait a second… You yelled at me before for breaking the fourth wall, why can you do it now?"

"Well… Um… Oh, never mind! Just help me push this spike up as soon as Mario walks over it!"

The two turtles listened carefully for the sound of Mario's clodhoppers as they across the stage above them. They waited until he was right over them… but when they tried to push the spike up, it wouldn't budge!

"Grr… Stupid spike…" Bowser growled, "Why won't it shoot up!"

"Yeah! Come on, you lousy spike! Move!" Bowser Jr. demanded, "Don't you want to impale that lousy, no-good Mario?"

Apparently, it didn't, as they were never able to force it up. Eventually, the sound of Mario (as well as the other guests chosen) faded away as the first 'real' part of the stunt show, were Indy would navigate a trap-filled temple which included the spikes, was about to begin, leaving the Bowsers with nothing but another defeat.

"Well, that was a disappointment," Bowser mumbled, resting his hand on the still-inert spike.

"Yeah… But at least you didn't get hurt doing it!" Bowser Jr. reminded.

At that very moment, the spike Bowser was leaning on shot straight up onto the stage to (almost) impale Indiana Jones! Since Bowser was holding on to it, he was carried upwards as well, causing him to bang his head hard on the underside of the stage and knock himself out cold!

"Aw man… I really have a bad habit of saying things too soon…" Bowser Jr. moaned as he dragged his unconscious dad away.

Meanwhile, up on the stage, the first stunt scene was over and they were rearranging the set so it looked like the Cairo scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

"I think this is where Mario's gonna come out!" Luigi exclaimed, pulling out his brother's camera.

Sure enough, Luigi was right. Mario, along with the rest of the selected members of the audience, came out as 'extras' for the scene. That is, they were wearing peasant-ish looking clothes and were walking around in the market where Indy would be chased through moments later. Due to his more or less unique physique, Mario was pretty easy to pick out.

"There he is!" Peach called out, "Aw… He looks so cute in that turban!"

"Right… Cute…" Wario grumbled, "I hope his character is scripted to get stabbed or shot or something…"

Of course, he didn't. In fact, he ran off just as all the action began, but not before Luigi snapped a picture.

"Hey, do ya think I could blackmail him with that?" Waluigi asked curiously.

"Not a chance, pal," Luigi retorted, quickly putting the camera away.

After the show was over and Mario was reunited with the group, they headed over to the other attraction inspired by a movie by George Lucas: Star Tours.

"So… What kind of ride is this, anyway?" Luigi questioned nervously, seeing the warning sign posted at the entrance.

"It's a motion simulator," Mario answered, "You know, like Mission: Space."

"Gulp… Erm… Goodbye!" the green plumber called out as he quickly began to run away.

"Relax!" Daisy said, grabbing onto the back collar of his shirt, "This ride is a few notches below Mission: Space. If you could handle that, I'm sure you can handle this."

Thankfully, this was enough to convince Luigi, who eventually decided ride the attraction. Things went pretty smoothly in the beginning, but, of course, there just had to be a few Star Wars jokes.

"Hey, Luigi," Mario commented as they were about to board, "I sense much fear in you."

"Har, har…" Luigi laughed sarcastically, rolling his eyes, "And I'm sure you think I have a bad feeling about this, too."

"Funny, guys," Daisy replied, "Now, would someone mind moving this walking carpet out of my way?"

"HEY! WHAT ARE YA TALKIN' ABOUT?" Wario demanded, quickly figuring out that the insult was directed to him, "I am not a walking carpet! I am a neatly groomed individual!"

"Right…" Waluigi retorted, "And you would call that mustache 'neatly groomed'?"

"Don't make me give you a 'disturbance in the force', pal."

"Oh yeah? Well… Um… Don't make me send your butt into warp factor five!"

"Wrong franchise, bub."

"Yeah, whatever…"

"Alright everyone," Peach interrupted, "Could we stop making bad puns and get on the ride?"

The group obliged, and soon they were moving at light speed, navigating an asteroid storm, and joining the Rebels on an attack on the Death Star… all motion simulated, of course! After the ride was over, Mario asked Luigi about the experience.

"So, Luigi… Did you like the ride?"

"Huh?... Oh, yeah! It was pretty cool! I think that was the first real 'thrill' ride I actually enjoyed!"

Luigi then proceeded to tell Mario all about how awesome the ride was and how glad he was that he got the guts to go on it. During this time, Mario just smiled and listened. At last, Luigi was finally starting to build up some courage.

Author's Note: Wow... I got this thing updated exactly one month after the last chapter. Talk about cutting it close.On the positive side,I just found out that my family is planing on going back to, you guessed it, Walt Disney World this year! It's a good thing, too: my memories of the place are starting to wear off, plus there's a bunch of new stuff there now (like Exhibition Everest!). Yay for me! Now, this story will be as up-to-date as possible (after I visit, of course)!
