Super Smash Bros Battle Royal

Chapter 1: The gathering


"This is it."

A young boy of sixteen ran down a hallway of a mansion.

"This is perfect."

This mansion was non-other than the Smash Mansion, the very place that various Nintendo characters occupied when on break from the fighting tournament called Super Smash Brothers.

"This is what I worked for,"

The boy held a clip board under his arm as he ran. He had on jeans and a black hoodie with the Smash Bros insignia on the back. He had semi-long straight light brown hair that he pushed away from his blue eyes. He wasn't that tall, only 5'1. He rounded a corner, his eyes bright, chanting the words like some kind of mantra.

"This is it. This is perfect. This is what I worked for."

The boy seemed to have found his target as his speed increased. A large door with a black M.H monogrammed on it caused the boy to grin. He ran at the door full speed and burst through it… or he would have, if the door had not been heavier than him, causing him to slam head long into the door. A groan escaped his mouth as he lay sprawled on the floor, his vision shaky. Slowly, he got up as a voice spoke from behind the door.

"Come in."

It seemed the voice had interpreted the boy's likely head injury as a knock.

The boy pushed open the heavy door with a grunt. Inside was an office. It was furnished with a couch on the left side though the boy wondered why as the offices owner didn't have feet. On the right wall was a set of six big screen televisions linked together. To the back, was a giant desk. The desk's front displayed a large symbol of a black M.H. over a high fiving right hand.

A giant disembodied hand wearing a white glove floated over the desk. It held a pen and appeared to be signing something. The hand lifted a pinky to acknowledge the boy.

"Just a minute, if you will." Said the hand, it's deep voice sounding from every direction. It placed the pen down before glancing up. "Ah, Cody, I've been looking for you." The hand floated over to him. "You know you don't have to knock."

"That wasn't me knocking, Master Hand," Cody said, rubbing his head. "That was me slamming into your door. Seriously, get a new door!"

"Oh my, are you okay?" Master Hand asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said, waving it off.

"Good." Master Hand said before floating back to his desk. "Now, I have some very important news." He turned back to the boy, holding up his pointer finger. "I believe it is about time for a new tournament."

"Ah, perfect," Cody said with a grin. He held out his clipboard. "I just finished plans for the ultimate—"

"You know that you're my assistant, right, Cody?" Master Hand said sighing.

Cody's grin fell and his body slumped slightly. "Err, yeah."

"Now I'll admit," Master hand began, "You have had good ideas in the past but—"

"At the very least, look at this," Cody said, handing the clip board to him.

Master Hand looked over the plans. After a few minutes, he turned to Cody.

"Cody, this is… is ...is absolutely perfect." He held the clipboard in his palm as he pointed at Cody. "I knew there was a reason I hired you.

"Because I was the only one who applied?" Cody asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Partially," M.H. admitted. "But you have creativity, my boy. This is just what we need to spice things up."

A large smile lit up his face. "So you'll use it?"

Master Hand floated back and forth as if pacing. "Hmm, alright. We'll use your plan. But, as it is your plan, you will oversee a great majority of the proceedings."

"Yes, of course," Cody said, his smile never leaving. "So where do we start?"


When Kirby had gotten a letter for the fourth Super Smash Bros event, he had speed off to pack his bags. He was so excited for another tournament. It was a great chance to see his friends again. Yoshi, Pikachu, and he had so much fun the last time. Despite the Subspace Incident, it was still fun to be with everyone. And the battles were fun as well. Mario and Link were excellent fighters. And when DeDeDe and Meta Knight joined in the third event, Kirby was happy he wasn't the only one representing Dreamland. He was curious as to who was being invited this year. Meta Knight had come over when he finished packing to take him in the Halbred. He had been informed that the Halbred was being used as a stage again, so he decided to give Kirby and DeDeDe a ride. As the ship exited the dimensional rift, Kirby stared out the window at the mansion.

"Happy to be back, Kirby?" Meta Knight asked, as he steered the Halbred to the dock.

"Yeah, this is gonna be great." Kirby looked out of the window again. He pointed. "Oh Samus' ship and Fox's."

"Yeah, well, don't get to excited puffball," DeDeDe said, entering the bridge. "I'm gonna kick your butt this time."

"Oh, Cap is here, too," Kirby said, looking at more ships.

"He's not listening," DeDeDe screamed.

Meta chuckled. "He's excited, that's all."

As soon as Meta had landed the ship, Kirby dashed out into the mansion. He could see that the entrance hall had been decorated for the welcoming. The hall looked no different from last time with a large central staircase that split into two hallways, and deep red-colored walls and carpet.

Just as he was about to step forward, he was knocked to the ground. His mind briefly registered a bright yellow color. Whatever tackled him still sat square on his chest. He opened his eyes to see bright black eyes staring back at him. A large smile formed on his face.

"Pikachu," Kirby cried. "How are you, buddy?"

"Pretty good," Pikachu said, in his own language as he helped Kirby up. "It's good to see you. Any new adventures to tell me? Ever see that girl again."

"Who, Ribbon?" Kirby said as a blush rose to his cheeks. "Not yet. But I send her letters every so often."

"Anything going on between you two?" Pikachu asked with a smirk.

"We're just friends," he said with a nervous chuckle.

"Uh huh," Pikachu nodded, skeptically "I believe you as much as I believe Ash, when he says Misty is 'just a friend'."

"I'm serious, Pikachu."

"You're also blushing."

"I always blush." Kirby pointed to his cheeks. "See these, permanent blush marks."

"Alright, alright." Pikachu chuckled.

"So, you seen Yoshi yet?"

Pikachu shook his head. "Not yet, I just got here."

Suddenly a large green-spotted egg rolled through the door. Kirby and Pikachu jumped, the egg passing under them. It then turned around and burst open, revealing a green dinosaur.

"Speak of the Darkrai," Pikachu said with a giggle.

"Nice entrance, Yoshi," Kirby said with a smile.

"Kirby, Pikachu!" Yoshi cried. "Hey, guys!" He high-fived the two. "So how have you guys been? Any luck with that fairy girl, Kirby?"

Kirby frowned as Pikachu let out a snort.

"Not you too," he groaned.


At the top of the steps, hiding in the right hall, Cody watched as more and more Smash Brothers filled the entrance hall. He gulped before running a hand through his hair.

"This is it, Cody," he whispered. "You can do this. It's now or never."

As the last of the Smash Brothers entered, Cody took his place at the top of the stairs.

"Uhh, excuse me," Cody called.

Everyone turned to the stairs. He gulped as they looked at him with confusion.

"For those of you who don't know," he began. "which is probably all of you, my name is Cody. I was hired to be the assistant to the Master Hand."

This would be his first time dealing with the Smash Brothers. When he was hired in the off season, he never dreamed he would be hosting his own Smash Bros. tournament. Just to be in front of these heroes (and two villains) was making his palms sweat, yet he took a deep breath and gripped his clipboard.

"Uhm, I'll be the go to official during the tournament, so, yeah." He looked down to his clip board and let out a cough. "So, uh, anyway, on to the tournament you're all here for." Taking another deep breath, his mouth formed a grin. "All of you are familiar with the rules of a standard smash bros battle…. Well, that's about to change."

All the characters in the front entranced turned to each other in confusion.

"So, I'd like to welcome you all to," Cody paused to snap his fingers. On cue, a banner dropped from behind him. "Super Smash Brothers Battle Royale!"

The crowd cheered, making Cody's grin grow. He calmed everyone down so he could continue.

"This is an off-the-wall, 4 on 4, team battle event. I'll be assigning each of you to teams. You'll all compete in a tournament with a surprise for the last 4 teams." He glanced down at his clipboard. "When I call you names, just get into your groups and find a place to stand."

As Cody called out names, the large group separated. Once everyone was divided up, he continued.

"Now I'm sure you noticed that there are teams without four people," Cody said, pointing to a couple groups. "That's because we haven't introduced the new recruits."

Applause reverberated in the hall. Cody raised his arms, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"So, please help me welcome," Cody said, "For team one, the Mushroom Masters, the princess of Sarasaland, Daisy!"

"Hi, I'm Daisy!" The flower themed princess called as she ran out of the left hall.

Mario's team stepped on to the stairs. Peach hugged her best friend before Luigi took her hand and lead her to their spot.

"Oh and by the way," Cody said, glancing at Gannondorf and Bowser. "Though I feel it doesn't need to be said, I'll say it anyway. No kidnapping. You wanna fight your rivals, do it in the ring." Cody shook his head before looking back at his clipboard. "Master Hand doesn't want a repeat of last time."

A couple of the smashers laughed while the villains in question just rolled their eyes.

"I wonder who our partner is," Kirby said to his teammates.

"Next is someone from Kirby's world," Cody continued. "For team two, the Dream Stars, we now welcome, the only one to ever knock out a certain puffball, Ribbon!"

Ribbon came out and waved. Kirby ran up and hugged her.

"Ribbon, you're in Smash Bros? This is awesome." Kirby waved his arms as a smile lit his face.

Ribbon blushed. "I'm happy to be here"

"Come on, you should meet our team." Kirby grabbed the fairy's hand and lead her down the stairs, so Cody continued.

"Next, are three new comers that will make up the rest of Yoshi's team. For team three, the Island Defenders, please welcome the bowed dino from Subcon, and two blasts from the past, Birdo, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi!"

A pink dino carrying baby visions of Mario and Luigi emerged from the hall. With a grin, Yoshi ran up the stairs to meet his team. The babies gave a happy cry and jumped from Birdo's arms to Yoshi's.

"Hey, you two," Yoshi giggled as he balanced the giggling babies in his arms. As they settled, he looked up at Birbo. "Looks like me and you are teamed up again. You ready, partner?"

Birdo winked as she slid close to him. "I'm pretty lucky, getting three cuties on my team."

Yoshi laughed as a blush dotted his face. "Well, I guess I couldn't ask for a better team." He said as he led them down the stairs.

"Next, we don't have any newcomers for Pikachu's team," Cody said. "So for team four, the Pokèbrawlers, we welcome back recent Melee contestant, the, and I'm quoting here, 'most powerful Pokémon,' Mewtwo!"

Pikachu ran up to meet his old comrade. "It's good to have you back, Mewtwo" Everyone was happy to welcome back an old contestant.


Kirby looked around the room with a wide grin. It's good to be back. he thought.

As it had turned out, Mewtwo wasn't the only one welcomed back. Roy returned, as well as a new girl named Machaia. Marth was happy to have his friend back and Ike had agreed to help Machaia.

As for newcomers, Fox's friend Krystal had joined as well as two friends of the Kongs, named Lanky and Tiny. Toon Link had introduced him to Tetra, who was like a head strong version of Zelda. There were even some more Sega stars. Sonic had brought his friends Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and, against his better judgment, Eggman. They made their own team while Eggman was part of the Baddies team with Bowser, Wario, and Ganondorf. And even people that weren't put in a team could still fight and watch.

"Okay, people," Cody called out. "Now with our recent additions to the roster…well." Cody smirked as he kicked the wall behind him. All the walls fell like cardboard revealing a field.

"A mansion is not gonna cut it. So…" Cody said as he pointed to two gigantic towers. They were made of red brick and linked by several walkways going between them. At the top of one tower was a black tile roof, while the other had some sort of balcony. Both towers had flags, one with the Nintendo N and the other with the Smash Brothers Insignia.

"I present to you, Smash Towers. The one on the left has 12 levels of living quarters, one level for each team, a lobby and at the top, a balcony with an awesome view. And the one on the right has the rest; lounge, kitchen, training rooms, and the living quarters for the rest of the Smash Brothers."

Everyone turned back to Cody.

"So, I want everyone to get settled. Your floors are fully customized for your team. You'll get ten days to get used to being a team. So with that…" He spread his arms. "WELCOME TO SUPER SMASH BROS…"

"BATTLE ROYAL!" the contestants screamed.

Kirby ran towards the tower, Ribbon in tow behind him.

Yeah, Kirby thought, his smile wide as can be. This is gonna be great.
