WORLD 8-1

"This place looks very scary! Volcanos, lava, castles...I'm not sleeping tonight." Luigi said.

"Neither will me or the Yoshies." Mario said.

They defeated Dry Bones' and then slid down the flagpole. They ran to the castle.

WORLD 8-2

"AAAAAAGH!" Luigi screamed.

"What is it, Luigi?" Mario said.

"THERE'S A WALL OF DARKNESS READY TO KILL US!" Luigi shrieked again.

Mario turned around to see a wall of darkness slowly moving to kill them.

"You're right. MOVE!" Mario said.

The four soon reached the flagpole and entered the castle. And when they did, the dark wall faded to nothing.

WORLD 8-3

"Oh, no, not Barney!" Luigi said.

"COVER YOUR EARS!" Mario said.

"I love you, you love me, we're a happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?" Barney sang.

Then suddenly he exploded.

"Glad that's over." Yoshi said.

They slid down the flagpole and entered the castle.

WORLD 8-4: FORTRESS

"Last fortress!" Mario said.

They escaped the traps and then fought...Baby Bowser, Bowser's past.

"YOU! I thought you were commanding the airships! You just wanna annoy me more, huh?" Mario said.

"I am NOT Bowser Jr.! I'm BABY Bowser! I'm Bowser, in your past!" Baby Bowser roared.

"OH! I remember! You were in Partners in Time!" Mario said.

"Yeah! Now, time to pay!" Baby Bowser said.

Baby Bowser started to attack but Mario attacked first with a kick in the chin.

"OWWW!" Baby Bowser squealed in pain.

Luigi then launched him up in the air and smashed him into the floor.

"WAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAA!" Baby Bowser cried.

Yoshi slammed him into the wall(he didn't use his tongue this time).

"OUUUUCH!" Baby Bowser was hurt so bad, he was crying.

And Red Yoshi used his tongue to smash him into the other wall.

"OWWWWWWW!" Baby Bowser was crying so hard.

Finally Mario threw him all around the place and then finally smashed him into the floor.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Baby Bowser was defeated with that cry.

The fortress starts to collapse.

"AAAAAH! PANIC!" Mario screamed.

He picked up Baby Bowser and they escaped.

Mario put Baby Bowser, injured and crying, down and they all ran off.

MEANWHILE...

Bowser's minions had recovered Baby Bowser and Bowser was comforting him.

"Oh, no! One villain left! And that's Junior!" Bowser thought to himself.

A/N: Baby Bowser is NOT Bowser Jr..

Bowser then looked at Junior.

"Everyone's done but you, buddy." Bowser said to Junior.

"Papa, I-I'm not sure about this." Junior said.

"I swear, this will be the last time." Bowser said.

"Okay." Junior said before running off.

Bowser then continues comforting Baby Bowser, crying.

WORLD 8-5

"We're almost there!" Mario said.

"Just 4 more levels!" Luigi said.

"I can't wait to get the princesses!" Yoshi said.

"It's taking so long, but it'll be worth it!" Red Yoshi said.

They soon slid down the flagpole and entered the castle, not noticing the airship flying.

WORLD 8-6: AIRSHIP

"Last airship!" Mario said.

They damaged the airship so much that it was gonna crash.

They then fought...Bowser Jr., for the final time.

"We're gonna make sure you'll NEVER come back." Mario said.

"Well, I'M gonna make sure you'll NEVER reach Papa's castle!" Junior said.

Junior placed his bib up to his mouth, brought out his paintbrush and turned into Shadow Mario.

He was ready this time.

Mario brought out F.L.U.D.D., his cleaning machine, and placed it on his back.

Mario used F.L.U.D.D. to shoot a giant blast of water, cleaning his paintbrush off and ruining his Shadow Mario disguise.

"Oh, no! Not my paintbrush! Not my disguise!" Mario said.

"Oh, you think you're so tough, huh?" Mario said.

Luigi grabbed his paintbrush and snapped it in half.

"Well, we're tougher." Mario said.

The four beat Junior up more badly than all the other times. Finally Mario did a uppercut to the chin.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Junior cried in pain.

"Now, let's get outta here." Mario said.

He picked up Junior and they escaped.

He put down Junior, injured and crying, down and ran to the castle.

MEANWHILE...

Bowser was waiting for Junior to come back. Then a Koopa came in.

"Bowser! Sir!" A Koopa said.

"Is Junior okay?" Bowser said, worried.

"It's REALLY bad this time. Come look at him in the Emergency Room." The Koopa said.

"Oh, no!" Bowser said.

They ran to the E.R., and saw Junior, with a broken arm and leg, and scratches and burns. They were all covered in bandages, but the blood was still seen underneath. Junior was crying.

Bowser walked to his son, tears pouring from his eyes.

"Junior, it's okay. You're gonna be fine." Bowser said.

"I want a kiss, Papa..." Junior cried.

"Aww..." Bowser said.

He kissed Junior's head. Bowser sat down on the chair next to Junior's bed.

Then the Koopa King turned to the Koopa.

"Is he gonna be alright?" Bowser said to the Koopa.

"The doctors say so. He'll be alright, he's just in pain." The Koopa said.

Bowser sighed in relief.

"Good." Bowser said.

The Koopa left.

"I'm the only one left..." Bowser thought to himself.

WORLD 8-7

"Let's take out this arsenal of enemies." Mario said.

They defeated tons of Dry Bones', and then suddenly...

"Uh-oh." Luigi said.

...All the Dry Bones' pieces formed into one giant one.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" The skeleton monster roared.

They threw so many Bob-Ombs that it exploded.

They soon reached the flagpole and entered the castle.

Then they went to their final destination...

...Bowser's castle.

WORLD 8-8: BOWSER'S CASTLE

"This is it. The moment we've been waiting for." Mario said.

"Time to kick Bowser's butt." Luigi said.

"No fooling around." Yoshi said.

"Time to knock his block off. AND his head too!" Red Yoshi said.

They escaped the traps and lava.

They then fought...HIM.

The most ruthless, powerful villain in Mario's rogue gallery...

"BOWSER." Mario said.

He walked to the Koopa King.

"It's time to finish this." Mario said.

"I think I know what do you mean by 'this'...Your life. BWAHAHAHAHA!" Bowser roared.

"BRING IT ON!" Mario screamed.

Bowser lunged at Mario and smashed him into a wall.

"AAAAGH!" Mario screamed in pain.

"MARIO!" Luigi shrieked in fear.

He shot electricity at Bowser.

"NYAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!" Bowser screamed in pain.

The Yoshies whipped him around with his tongue.

"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!" Bowser roared.

Finally Mario shot a blast of blazing flame which launched Bowser into the wall.

"!" Bowser roared in defeat.

The castle starts to collapse.

"Let's move!" Mario said.

They freed the princesses from their cage.

"THANK YOU!" The princesses said.

"You're welcome!" The heroes said.

Then suddenly...

"IT'S NOT OVER YET!" Someone roared.

That voice...

Mario knew whose voice was that.

"BOWSER? AGAIN?" Mario said.

He was flying in the Koopa Klown Kar.

"It isn't over until I fall dead!" Bowser said.

"Oh, yeah? Bring it on, again!" Mario said.

After a brutal battle, the castle exploded, and Bowser flew into the sky.

"!" Bowser screamed.

Mario, the gang and the princesses were ready to go home.

"Well, I guess this is the end of the journey!" Mario said.

"It was worth it." Luigi said.

"Let's go home." Peach said.

They then walked home.

And they lived happily ever after...The short epilogue is next.
