' I did try to get the teams into this chapter, but after about an hour of typing this, I was like - ' ain't noboody got time fo' dat ' , so teams are for the next chapter.

Luigipulled back the curtains fully, revealing the contestants to the over-excited audience. All 20 were arguing with one another. At the thought of fights and more sky-high medical bills for the show, Luigi simply cleared his throat, and pointed to the Poltergust 5000, which was lying at the corner of the stage. At the sight of it, the contestants decided to shut up, and stand in a straight line.

The hall darkened as the spotlight fell on the first contestant.
King Boo– ' Grr, that stupid green plumber… I'll kill him… but no, I'll get sued… oh god, the audience is looking at me! ' With that, the King Boocovered his face with his stubby arms, Luigisniggering at it, looking over at the Poltergust 5000.
The spotlight fell on the second contestant.
Mario – " Its-a me, Mario!" He yelled, everyone annoyed and upset to see him, even the audience, he had been on the last 10 series of the show, but never made it far, because everyone voted for him, due to his huge ego and the fact he's a really big, selfish, arse. The Mushroom Kingdom hated him, as he had given up trying to save the Princess Peachwhile she was kidnapped and retired, stating he never liked that slut anyway.
The spotlight fell on the third contestant.
Goombario– " Hey! I'm Goombario! " He said, excitedly to the audience. ' I'm just here to have a win something for my beloved Goombella… and the author of this crappy show wanted to put her favourite Paper Mario partner in, so I guess I have to put up with these fruitcakes for a few months now. ' He thought, smiling.
The spotlight fell on the fourth contestant.
Fawful– "Fawfulhates your faces! This battle will be the delicious mustard of your doom!" He yelled, everyone rolling their eyes at the madman, and Luigi wondered who invited Fawfulon the show when Fawfulalready has a castle.
The spotlight fell on the fifth contestant.
Wario – " Its-a me, Wario!" He yelled to the audience, before he was dive tackled by Mario, who accused him of copying his name and catchphrase. Antasma simply called security. But before he was dragged off by security, Wario yelled – "All of you come down to Wario's craaazzzyyy micro-game emporium!" ' That Wario. ' Luigi thought. ' Always looking for free advertising for his crummy company. I mean, I bought a game from him once, and it broke my Gameboy… '
The spotlight fell on the sixth contestant.
Prince Dreambert – " I'm Prince Dreambert. " He said to the audience, monotonous and dull, making them yawn. ' I'll win this, and take down Antasma! ' He thought, formulating plots in his head.
The spotlight fell on the seventh contestant.
Bowser Jr. – " I'm Bowser Jr., suckers! " He screamed, ridiculously high-pitched, splattering everyone with his Magic Paintbrush and making them cover their ears. Everyone immediately hated him, making him a target for elimination.
The spotlight fell on the eighth contestant.
Professor Egadd– " I'm too old for all this contest doohickey… " Egaddmuttered sadly to himself, only to receive an encouraging message from Luigi, implying that Luigiwanted Egadd to win.
The spotlight fell on the ninth contestant.
Roy Koopa – ' King Dad told me to enter to make sure Jr. doesn't do anything retarded like he normally does. I mean, last week he had a complete spaz attack and drew a self-portrait on Wendy's door... But by the look on everyone's faces, he already has. ' He roared, audience, re-igniting the positive atmosphere and exciting the audience.
The spotlight fell on the tenth, and final male contestant.
Toadbert– " By boogity, it's marvellous to be here! " He stated, smiling at the audience, while Luigirolled his eyes, even after years of knowing the blue Toad, he still said by boogity every 2 seconds.

The spotlight fell on the eleventh, and first female contestant.
Cackletta– ' I'll destroy those idiots.. ' The witch thought, and then cackled, making the audience, other contestants and even Antasma shiver a little. Luigipractically peed his pants, seeing the Beanish witch, remembering the horrific battle the Bros. had with her soul inside Bowletta.
The spotlight fell on the twelfth contestant.
Zess T. – She grumbled, just being surrounded by 19 nut jobs disgusted her. It disgusted her even more to see Sir Stomps-On-Stuff, also known as Mario, here.
The spotlight fell on the thirteenth contestant.
Birdo– " I'm Birdo, the – " Birdo started, but her sentence has interrupted and finished by Cackletta. " Trans-sexual retard. " Cackletta said maliciously, intending to hurt Birdo, but she didn't succeed. All Cacklettagot as a response was a glare. If looks could kill, Cacklettawould be 6 foot under.
The spotlight fell on the fourteenth contestant.
Rosalina & Luma – " You know me, don't you? " She said to the audience, smiling and doing her signature spin jump, causing the audience to cheer. Luigiblushed just at the sight of her. Daisycleared her throat from the audience, glaring at Luigi, not happy her crush fancied a different woman. The Luma, bright red, just looked happy to be there, and was giving out high-fives.
The spotlight fell on the fifteenth contestant.
Vivian – She looked nervously around the cheering audience, and spotted her sisters, Beldam and Marilyn, and hid her face under her witch hat out of fear.
The spotlight fell on the sixteenth contestant.
Pauline – As soon as she saw Mario, she knew she had a lot in store for that fat red plumber. She innocently smiled and waved to the audience, the polar opposite of what was going through her head right now.
The spotlight fell on the seventeenth contestant.
Elder Princess Shroob – She roared, receiving a just cheer from her younger sister in the otherwise silent audience. Luigipeed his pants [ again ] just at the sight of the petrifying princess. It's obvious there would be an alliance between Elder Princess Shroob and Cackletta, the two being famous female villains.
The spotlight fell on the eighteenth contestant.
Blue Sprixie Princess – She was just happy to of been invited to the show instead of her sisters. There had been a big fight between the sisters as to who got on the show, and she was going to treasure every minute of her time on the show.
The spotlight fell on the nineteenth contestant.
Merlee – " I am the real Merlee! " She exclaimed to the audience, she still wasn't over the whole being-impersonated-by-Mimithing. Being a 1500 year old elder, maybe she was a little out of it.
The spotlight fell on the twentieth, and final, contestant.
But before her reveal, Luigiannounced something, off a cue card. " I'm pregnant! " He yelled to the audience, before realizing what he said, blushing, and throwing that cue card away, making Antasma snigger, it was just revenge for the same prank Luigi had played on him earlier, with the cue card swap. " No, I'm not pregnant… and anyway, I announce that our twentieth contestant is very special! She's brand new to the Mario series, and is based off the crazy writer of this show! May I introduce to you, Phantom! "
– She blushed, feeling the eyes of the audience on her. She had always had stage fright. She pulled on one of her hoodie drawstrings, and shyly introduced herself, saying she was part-ghost, and had the ability to transform into one, spooking Luigi out. At the same time, King Boo was thinking she was making a valuable ally…

Contestants – King Boo, Mario, Goombario, Fawful, Wario, Prince Dreambert, Bowser Jr., Professor Egadd, Roy Koopa, Toadbert, Cackletta, Zess T., Birdo, Rosalina & Luma, Vivian, Pauline, Elder Princess Shroob, Blue Sprixie Princess, Merlee, Phantom

d3rp note– I know Bowser isn't really the father of the Koopalings, it's just for the sake of the story. Most of the contestants are some of my favourites – like King Boo, Goombario, Bowser Jr., Egadd, Cackletta, Luma and Elder Princess Shroob. Some I put it just because everyone forgets about them, and I had to put Mario in, because everyone would flip if I didn't. Phantom is based off myself. I have a love for the supernatural in reafl life, hence her powers. But I hate Mario. Anyway, next chapter, I'll put the contestants in teams, and then it's all about alliances. =) And yes, you heard correctly, Goombario is my favourite Paper Mario partner. Please don't kill me. XD
