Episode 4

Mario and Spiky Joe arrived at Tayce T.'s house. Though, Tayce T. wasn't there, oh no. There was some Koopa instead. The Koopa was clothed in a gray hoodie, with the hood down, revealing long light blond hair. The Koopa was also wearing light blue jeans.

Mario: Uh...Who are you, young lady?

The Koopa: !! Uh, sorry to burst your mustachioed bubble, but I'm a guy. :p

Mario: What? But, what's with the long hair?

Spiky Joe: C'mon, Mustache, you know everything's in Technicolour, not gray scale. So, who're you and where's Tayce?

The Koopa: My name's Koopra, I'm an excellent chef, up in Tayce's league! As for Tayce, she moved to a place called Rogueport, to "meat" with another excellent chef. I believe her name's Zess.

Mario: OK, well, Koopra...I have Tayce's frying pan. I was supposed to give it back to her, but forgot.

Koopra: Here, let me take that. Mario, Tayce wanted me to do something for you.

Mario: You know my name, too, huh? Fine, what?

Koopra hits Mario in the head with the frying pan. 8 damage!

Koopra: Tayce said, "That's for not gettin' me my Dan Pan." Sorry, you OK?

Mario: Ow, I have 4 HP left now!

Koopra: Sorry, but she insisted. She said she spent 500 coins for a new one.

Mario: ...

Spiky Joe: ...You OK there, Mustache?

Mario: No, I'm fine, even though I'm missing over half my health.

Spiky Joe: Oh, OK, no trouble then.

Koopra: Well, like I said, I'm an excellent cook, so if you need something cooked up, I'll be here.

Mario and Spiky Joe slowly walk out, after saying, "BYE!" Mario heads straight for the Toad House. When Mario gets inside, he jumps on the bed and sleeps.

Toad House Manager: Uh, go ahead? Take a nap? You could at least talk to me...

Mario: Nighty-night.....ZZzzZZzzz.......I'll get there....ZZzzzZz...To the mOooOn...X-Nauts....ZzzZzzZZZz.....La, Mama's mia....

---------------------------------

Awhile later, Mario wakes up, ready to face any challenge!

Mario: I woke up and I'm ready to face any challenge!

Spiky Joe: Great, let's go see Russ.

Mario: What? I never knew there'd be walking!

Our heroes walk to Russ's house to ask the next location of that GBA Piece.

Russ: Ah, hello, I've found something quite intriguing! It seems that there are three GBA Pieces in Forever Forest! My guess, is that the Boos that live near there must've stolen them for something called, "Lulz."

Spiky Joe: Three in one place? That's easy! No trouble at all!

Russ: Hm, but they're not all in the same place. Some text on the map describes how one is in the forest itself, while another is in the Boo's Mansion, while another is hidden deep underground.

Mario: Underground? Journey to the Center of the Earth, anyone?

Russ: I don't think it'll be like that, but that one piece is described to be "deeper than Articerile's back story."

Articerile: Hey, it's not that deep.

Russ, Spiky Joe, and Mario: O.o You here something? Woah, we're talknig at the same time......... Talknig? Not more blasphemy! Wait, what? ........Don't copy me! Stop it!

Russ: I mean it! D'oh, I'm out...

Spiky Joe and Mario: Just you, huh? Hm...........Bazleflazzle!......Rick Roll? ..........This Fic Contains Win! ......Hey, you know about that, too?.......Stop doing this! I mean it!............Bahah!.........

Spiky Joe: Beezltle! Aw, darn, I lost...

Mario: Yahoo! I win!

Russ: Yes, that was quite fun and all, but you should go now. Remember: Forever Forest.

Mario and Spiky Joe leave Russ's house and start for Forever Forest. But, as they reach Central Town, Mario notices a Golden Hammer Bro.! Mario decides to approach.

Golden Hammer Bro. : Huh? Oh, hi there. How's things?

Mario: You look like quite a rare Hammer Bro. Bowser must've hired you!

Golden Hammer Bro. : Oh, no, Mario. I'm not a part of Bowser's army. I'm a good Hammer Bro.

Mario: You would say that, wouldn't you? Well, I won't buy it!

Golden Hammer Bro. : Please, I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just asked you how things are.

Spiky Joe: Mustache, I think he's telling the truth. He seems too laid-back to be part of Bowser's crew.

Mario: Heh, it's an army, dummy... And if you don't wanna fight, I'll take him on my own! I kill you for being rude!!!

Golden Hammer Bro. : I haven't done anything wrong... Why fight?

Battle!

Golden Hammer Bro. : Please, can't we just talk this over?

Mario: No! You're more evil than Dr. Evil! Yeah, simile!

Can't flee this fight!

Mario/Hammer/Normal Hammer/ Mario whacks the Golden Hammer Bro., then does a black flip with confetti! 1 damage!

G. Hammer Bro./Attack/Hammer Throw/ G. Hammer Bro. calmly throws a hammer! 4 damage!

Mario: 11/15 HP 5/5 FP

G. Hammer Bro. : 29/30 HP 10/10 FP

Golden Hammer Bro. : C'mon, I really don't want to hurt you. Let's just stop.

Mario: No, no... Oh!

Mario/Hammer/Power Smash/ Mario uses 2 FP to smash a powerful hit on the enemy! 3 damage!

G. Hammer Bro./Attack/Hammer Barrage/ G. Hammer Bro. throws a series of hammers at his foe! Mario fails to do some Guard Commands! 9 damage!

Mario: 2/15 HP! 3/5 FP

G. Hammer Bro. : 26/30 HP 6/10 MFP

Mario: Hoo... Super Mario's hurting... This definitely is not mustache-ical.

Mario/Hammer/Normal Hammer/ Mario uses his hammer, but misses the Action Command! For shame Mario... 0 damage!

G. Hammer Bro./Attack/Hammer Throw/ G. Hammer Bro. calmly throws a lone hammer at Mario! 4 damage!

Mario is defeated!

Spiky Joe: Ah! Mustache, are you OK?!

A Life Shroom activates and Mario is revived. Mario: 10/15 HP.

Mario: Oh, no! I was gonna save that shroom for something important! X+B+Start!

Spiky Joe: This isn't a GameCube game.

Mario: Fine, HOME Menu!

Spiky Joe: ...Stop it...

Golden Hammer Bro. : You OK? I didn't mean to beat you that hard...

Mario: Bowser really got tough minions this time around...

Golden Hammer Bro. : I told you before, I'm not in his army.

Mario: Then why didn't you say so?

Golden Hammer Bro. : I did, remember?

Mario: Why are you always so calm?

Golden Hammer Bro. : I'm a laid-back Koopa. It's hard to get me mad. I'm calm almost all the time.

Mario: Ah...Well, that sounds nice... A calm mind is needed to win battles, yea? Well, you can shut your mouth, you Gold Hammer Thing! You're joining my party!

Golden Hammer Bro. : Sure, OK... And my name's Ultramario2.0.

Mario: Hey, I'm Mario! You don't even look close to a 2.0 version of me! "Not even close!"

Ultra: It's just a name. you know? You can call me Ultra.

The Golden Hammer Bro., Ultramario2.0 has joined your party!

Mario: Not this again!

Ultra can use his hammers to attack enemies on the field from a distance! And he's already Ultra ranked, so he has max HP and four attacks to chose from! His best attack is his Hammer Barrage, where he throws multiple hammers consistent with how many times you press A!

Ultra: So, where were you two going?

Spiky Joe: We were heading to Forever Forest to collect three special GBA Pieces.

Mario: There's no time limit, right?

Spiky Joe: No, not that I know of...

Mario: OK, just making sure. Let's pickle! WAIT! I mean, Let's-a go! Yeah...
