Episode 18

Spiky Joe: 3,2,1...GO!!!!

The countdown has finished and Mario and Chou start their race! They both boost towards the center, straight at each other! Oddly enough, they both weigh the same, so upon smacking into each other, they both spin out and lose 1 balloon.

Ultra: That's not how you're supposed to Mario-cide!

Spiky Joe: But if they keep doing that, whoever has higher controller priority will win... Mario's Player 1, so he'd win, right?

Mario shrugs off the hit and continues on to the end of the road, collects an item box, and turns to the right. He receives a Red Shell and goes up the blue block structure.

He readies his Red Shell as he rides up to the top of the blue block structure. Mario notices Chou riding along the road below him and fires his Red Shell at Chou. Chou turns a corner and avoids the attack.

Mario wasn't watching where he was going and drove off the bridge! He landed on the red block structure then turned to the right so he can get back on the top of the structures. As Mario turns the corner after grabbing the item box, Chou turns around the other corner fires a Green Shell at Mario! Mario quickly gets out his item and drops it behind him. It wound up being a lone banana.

Mario travels up to the top of the red block structure with Chou following behind. Mario turns to the left bridge, back towards the blue block structure. He grabs the item box from the blue block structure and readies the item from it, which was a fake item box.

As soon as Mario sees what he got, he pulls the breaks and drops the fake item box right on Chou. As Chou flies straight up into the air, Mario speeds back up, heading towards the green block structure. He grabs the item box and pulls a 180° turn to go back to Chou. Mario receives a Green Shell and fires it immediately at Chou. Chou tries to fire his Red Shell to block, but it didn't come out in time.

Chou gets smacked by the Green Shell and falls off the bridge.

Chou: Nooooooooeeesssss!!!!!!!

Mario stops at where he hit Chou, his kart stands on its hind tires, and Mario rises his hand in the air in triumph.


Mario, his teammates, Koopinator, and Chou gather outside the Block Fort's entrance.

Chou: Blaaargh! I can't believe I lost! Gah... I should've made it a 2 out of 3..... OK, here... Take the Red Star and get outta here...

The Red Colour Star rises from behind a bush and floats towards Mario. It spins around him and falls into his open hands. Mario holds it high in the air.

Mario got the Red Colour Star! All Red colours are now restored to the world!

And as such, all the world's Red colours are restored! Now the only colours showing are the neutrals, Violet, and Red, by the way.

Chou: Er... Hey, is that a Red Berry?

Chou walks over to a tree and picks a red berry that was growing on the tip of a branch.

Chou: Duuude, l love these things! I never knew they grew here until all the red came back... Uh.... Gee, l guess I can't tell what colour a berry is if there are no colours.... So, uh....

Mario: Heh, I think we gained a new ally. ^_^

Chou: Uh... Well, thanks, l guess, heh. So, uh, if you, like, need something, l could help you out.

Mario: I won!

Spiky Joe: Alright. Mario, you think you're RED-y to go back to Toad Town?

Mario: Aw, boo, stop doing that!

Spiky Joe: What? You don't think it's punny?

Mario: La la la, not listening, la la!

Ultra rolls his eyes as he, Spiky Joe, Mario, and Koopinator walk back down the path to the port. As they board there ship, Mario plugs his ears with his gloves as Spiky Joe makes more puns. Hearing nothing but silence, Mario gets out the map and examines it.

Ultra: Oh yeah, what's the next location of the colour star?

Mario: ..............

Spiky Joe: He can't hear us, even though we are right HEAR. XD

Ultra: Uh, man, I don't have any gloves...

Mario: Ah, now we are at Orange! And the Orange Star is at a castle with a big ugly face on it. It looks to be surrounded by lava, it seems.

Spiky Joe: Ugly face? What ugly face?

Mario: ..............

Spiky Joe: Oh, for laughing out loud...

Spiky Joe yanks Mario's gloves out of his ear.

Spiky Joe: What face is ugly?

Mario: ....Yours.

Ultra: OoBurns!

Mario: Nah, but really not really, but actually is really, I mean Bowser's face. Bowser has the Orange Star.

Spiky Joe: Heh, he got downgraded to a 2nd Boss!

Koopinator: ......

Ultra: Hm? Hey, Koopinator, you say something?

Koopinator: Noo...

Mario: Ignore him, he's the gallery of peanuts eaters...

Spiky Joe: Woah, Peanuts eaters?! I like those comics!

Mario: Oops, I made a typo...

The boat ships drifts off to the horizon, to Toad Town, to home, to the item shop...

Mario: Gotta gets me some grapes.
