The sun was beginning to sink towards the west by the time the group reached Downtown Disney: West Side. After a short walk, they reached a very large, rectangular building with a wavy roof. It also had a rather unique paint job; it was blue-green with purple swirls all over it.

"That's DisneyQuest?" Wario grunted, "Doesn't look all that amazing."

"Oh yeah, besides the… ya know… Domineering size, psychedelic paint job, and crazy roof. Nothing amazing at all," Waluigi retorted sarcastically.

Wario was starting to eye a nearby trash can, with the obvious intention of sticking his 'brother' in it. Thankfully, Mario led the group onward before Wario could make any such 'reply'.

"So, what is this place, exactly?" Luigi asked.

"DisneyQuest is, in the bluntest terms, a huge arcade," Mario explained, "however, you pay at the door and all the games inside are free. Also, there are a ton of games that you won't find anywhere else."

"Like what?"

"Oh, you'll see…"

After paying at the front entrance, the gang went inside to a small lobby with a pair of elevators at the far end. Soon enough, one set of doors opened, and everyone went inside. Daisy was the first to notice something odd.

"Hey, guys? Why's there a mirror on that one wall?"

"I don't think that's a mirror, Daisy," Peach replied, "I think it's just a glass wall that we can see our reflection in because of the light."

Almost as if on cue, the elevator doors closed and the entire room went pitch black!

"Uh… This isn't gonna be a repeat of the Tower of Terror, is it?" Luigi stuttered nervously, "At least that one had seats…"

Suddenly, something appeared on the other side of the glass wall: the genie from Aladdin! After a little bit of his trademark bantering, he made the elevator 'launch' up to the next floor in dramatic fashion. The elevator doors then opened, letting the group into the main lobby of DisneyQuest.

"Wow…" Daisy gasped, "Look at this place! It's huge!"

The lobby was a huge circular area that had a ceiling leading all the way up to the top floor, allowing guests to catch a glimpse of every level of the building. Around the perimeter of the lobby were the entrances to the four 'Zones' of DisneyQuest: Explore Zone, Score Zone, Create Zone, and Replay Zone.

"So… Um…" Luigi murmured, "Where do we go first?"

"Hey! I know!" Wario, looking at a map on the wall, shouted, "Food's on the fifth floor! Ant it's a freakin' Cheesecake Factory, to boot! We gotta go there!"

"Uh… No," Peach countered, "Mario? What do you say?"

"Huh? Why do you always listen to Mario?" Waluigi complained, "It's always 'Mario this' and 'Mario that'… How about giving us a turn, eh?"

"Because every time we to that, we wind up at a food court," Daisy dead-paned.

Mario ignored all the extra comments and focused on the map.

"Okie-dokie, guys, we should head to the Create Zone first!"

"Why?" Wario snorted.

"Two words:" Mario replied, "CyberSpace Mountain."

"So let me get this straight…" Luigi began, "In this ride, you design your own rollercoaster and then ride it?"

"Yep," Mario answered, motioning to one of the small computer kiosks in front of them, "you design the coaster on this thing, using both normal coaster track as well as all sorts of other crazy things, like black holes and comets, and then ride it in one of the two-person motion simulators over there."

Luigi looked 'over there' to see a long corridor with huge red pods lining either side that were spinning around furiously. Apparently, these were the motion simulators.

"Gulp… Mario, promise me you'll make the coaster calm, okay?"

"Heh, heh… Don't worry about it, bro.! I'll make sure of it!"

A few stations over, Peach and Daisy were trying to make the same negotiation, but with a little less success.

"Aw, come on, Peach…" Daisy protested, "You gotta let me put one loop in!"

"No!" Peach retorted, "You can use anything else available, but no inversions!"

"Fine… Party pooper…"

At the final module were Wario and Waluigi. They were creating a very aggressive rollercoaster, but for a more devious reason.

"Okay, here's the plan:" Wario explained, holding up what looked like a card key, "The guy at the entrance of this ride gave us this little doodad so the computer knows what coaster we made when we board the ride, right?"

"Yeah!" Waluigi assured, "We had to swipe it through a scanner before we began designing the coaster here, and we'll have to swipe it again when we get on!"

"Uh… That was a hypothetical question, moron."

"I know, I was just explaining it to them," Waluigi replied, pointing towards the 'Fourth Wall'.

Wario let out an agitated moan before continuing.

"Why do I get stuck with the idiots… Anyway, so what we're gonna do is create the most violent, crazy, pants-wetting, vomit-inducing nightmare on rails we can think up."

"Uh… I threw up on the spinning tea cups… Why on earth would I want to do that?"

"I'm not finished yet, stupid! When we're done with that, we'll inconspicuously swap cards with those Mario Bros.! Then, they'll be the ones riding that monster! That'll teach 'em! Wa ha ha!"

"You're right! That's brilliant! That will show Luigi for making me throw up on the tea cups!"

And so, the dubious duo began crafting the most elaborate coaster imaginable, cramming in as many loops, corkscrews, and various other, more creative inversions (like having the car get sucked into a tornado) as possible. When they were done, they were quite pleased to discover that their coaster got a five out of five on the 'Scare-o-Meter'.

"High five, pal," Wario declared, holding up his hand, "we got ourselves a winner."

After everyone was done designing their rollercoaster, there was still another line to wait in until they reached the motion simulators. At this point, Wario attempted to make his move and swap his card with Mario's.

"Whoops!" Wario gasped, 'accidentally' bumping into Mario, causing both of their cards to fall to the floor, "Oh my gosh! I totally unintentionally knocked both our cards to the floor, and I just can't figure out which card is yours and which one is mine!"

"Don't worry about it, Wario," Mario replied, some obvious suspicion on his voice, "I kept my eyes on them. Here, this one was yours."

Mario handed Wario back his card. The little plot had failed.

"A-Wha!? I mean… Erm… Thanks, bub," Wario grumbled, taking his card back. He waited a few awkward moments before bumping into Mario again and achieving the same result.

"Oh dear! Once again, I completely by accident bumped into you and knocked our cards to the floor!"

Mario raised an eyebrow. He wasn't fooled. After a moment of thought, he reached down and grabbed Wario's card, noticing the sudden grin on the anti-hero's face.

"Oh yeah, that one was definitely your card!" Wario agreed.

"Right…" Mario mumbled.

Wario took 'his' card and handed it to Waluigi, apparently for safe keeping. Meanwhile, Luigi was watching all of this from a distance.

"Say, Mario? What's going on?" the green-capped plumber whispered.

"Wario's trying to get us to ride their coaster," Mario replied, making sure the duo behind him couldn't hear, "so that can only mean one thing…"

"They made a really nasty one," Luigi completed for his bro., "so what are we gonna do?"

Mario leaned in close and whispered something to Luigi. After a couple seconds of this, Luigi's face brightened up.

"Sure thing, bro.!" Luigi assured, "You can count on me!"

The younger brother then made his way over to Waluigi.

"Hey, Waluigi! Look!" Luigi yelled, pointing over the purple plumber's shoulder, "It's an eggplant wizard!"

"Huh?" Waluigi stammered, turning around to look where Luigi was pointing, "Where?"

While his back was turned, Luigi noticed Mario's card sticking out of his doppelganger's back pocket. Quickly and quietly, he pulled it out and replaced it with Wario's card.

"I don't see anything…" Waluigi mumbled, turning back around.

"Oh well, I guess you musta missed him…" Luigi shrugged as he walked back to Mario. Discreetly, he gave his brother a thumbs up.

"Good goin', Luigi!" Mario congratulated, "Come on, we're next in line. We better get outta here before the Wario Bros. realize we turned the tables back."

The Mario Bros. walked down the hallway until they reached a vacant pod. When they got there, a Cast Member took their card and swiped it through another scanner, loading the ride onto the motion simulator.

"You ready?" Mario asked.

"Yep!" Luigi replied, "Let's-a go!"

The two of them climbed into the motion simulator and pulled down on the seating restraints (the over-the-head kind, in case the coaster was built with loops). Soon after, the screen came down, showing the beginning of the rollercoaster they designed. Suddenly, their 'car' shook and 'lunged' forward, and the ride began! The pod spun and turned in time with the action going on onscreen, making it feel like they were actually riding the rollercoaster! After about two minutes of spinning, dipping, and twirling around, the ride they had built finally came to its conclusion.

"Phew…" Luigi sighed, "That was pretty cool, huh?"

"Yeah," Mario agreed, "of course, there might be a little bias in that… I mean, we 'built' the thing, after all!"

The brothers shared a laugh as the restraints rose, allowing them to exit. As they left the attraction, they noticed the princesses were already waiting for them. Just like after Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Daisy's hair was all frazzled, but now Peach also had the same treatment. Needless to say, she wasn't all that happy about it.

"This is why I said 'no inversions'…" Peach moaned, frantically trying to fix her hair, "Can you imagine how bad this would look if there were!?"

"Seriously, Peach, you gotta lighten up!" Daisy insisted, "It's just hair!"

"Hi, ladies," Mario greeted, "nice look."

"You can thank Daisy for that one," Peach commented, "sigh… And I thought I had made that ride mild enough…"

"Heh, heh… A little too mild, if you ask me!" Daisy interrupted, "It got like a… What?... Zero out of five on that 'Scare-o-meter' thing?"

"Well, you should've ridden with the Wario Bros.," Luigi suggested, "I heard they made quite the coaster."

Almost as if on cue, the four of them spotted Wario and Waluigi stumble out of CyberSpace Mountain. They were swaying back and forward and were walking so erratically, it looked like they were intoxicated.

"Ugh…" Wario groaned, "I think I'm gonna puke…"

"Same here… Urp!" Waluigi agreed, "If only I could walk in a straight enough line to reach the restrooms…"

Neither one of them made it, though. Rather, they simply collapsed on the ground, out cold, right at the feet of the Mario Bros.

"I'm afraid to ask, but what happened?" Peach asked.

"Oh, nothing much…" Mario replied, "They just learned that we're willing to fight fire with fire."

"Or in this case," Luigi added, walking off, "a horribly violent rollercoaster with mere gullibility."

Author's Note: You know, I was gonna have this updated on time. I really was. However, my school sent us off on a 'College Tour' where we got to see about ten bajillion different universities (and learn about the horrors of community showers... shutter...). Anyway, this week-long trip threw my writing schedule all outta whack, so here we are. Oh well, I'll TRY to do better next time...
