BaconBaka's Bites: Hey, it's not been too long since the last chapter. Okay, it's been over 10 days. But at least it's been updated now. So, there's that.
In either case, this part, we start up the Mario Challenge!
Korpse's Earrings: Podoboos from Mario
It's a me!
On the Dock, Freight, still in her beekeeper outfit, was there, looking at the camera. Some bees from the previous outro were still flying around.
"I… am not sure how Chris does this every week, but… Temporary Reality Show Host Freight is at your service!" Freight saluted "And..."
She looked down at what appeared to be a script, then suddenly ripped out the page, folded it into a paper airplane, and lobbed it elsewhere.
"You should know that you should unexpect the unexpected! Anyways, last time on GvP..."
"It was a water themed challenge at the local pool! Only instead, resident tween rich kid Walter claimed the pool when we got there, meaning we had to do the challenge all while the party was going on. There was water polo to be had! Squirt gun shooting! And a joust which… Well, let's just say, if it weren't for the quick actions of me and Moana… Well, it wouldn't be pretty. Anyways, after Sting nearly drowned, Moana and I saved him, and Sting started to fall more in love with the blue haired beauty… Tough break, Olivia… I have a cousin in the piercing scene, maybe you would like to meet him? ...Anyway, the Populars broke out of their losing streak, meaning one of the Geeks had to be shipped away. And in the end, it was the former liar Ellis which sailed off."
"Now… What awaits these 17 contestants? Will the Populars keep their winning streak going? Will Marissa be okay without her BF? And will Olivia ever be the cheerful bad boy lovin' metalhead again? Stay tuned and find out! Only on..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Geeks VS Populars!"
"Was that good?" Freight asked, as the camera seemingly nodded. "Awesome! Now, to get these buzzy fellahs away..."
(Cue I Wanna Be Famous…)
Outside what was once Ada and Nick's room, Drake and Stella were standing, doing some thinking.
"Hmm..." Drake pondered. "You still thinking of how we can comfort Olivia?"
"Yeah..." Stella answered back. "I've done this kinda thing before. I'm just trying to think of what to say; heavy metal isn't my kinda thing."
"Yeah, I've only heard metal songs from when my mom played certain games." Drake admitted. "Even still, I'm at a loss here."
"Well, wouldn't hurt to give it the college try..." Stella said, as she knocked on the door.
"Go away..." Olivia said from behind the door.
"Olivia, it's just me and Drake." Stella replied back.
"No deal..." Olivia said, not opening the door.
"We just wanna talk, okay?" Stella reassured.
"I don't wanna talk right now..." Olivia continued from behind the door.
Stella looked over at Drake, who then pointed at his back. Stella nodded, as she turned back towards the door.
"We only wanna talk about tattoos… Is that what you like so much?" Stella asked. "I even invited Drake along due to that he's an artist. Maybe… He can draw up a few for the future?"
"Sigh… Open up." Olivia responded back, as Stella turned the knob, and the two entered the room…
"Sweet Celestia..." Drake looked at the floor. It was littered with several potato chip bags and bottles of soda, all while Olivia was lying on the bed, facing the wall. The TV was glowing, but it wasn't on anything too special.
"Okay… I let you in, what kinda ink do you wanna talk about?" Olivia asked, seemingly not caring at the slightest.
"Actually, and I'm sorry to say this… But we had to use your love of skin art to enter the room." Stella admitted.
"I'm surprised Cherri didn't attempt to do this..." Drake agreed.
"Ugh..." Olivia groaned. "First, I lose the most awesome bad boy around to that blue haired harpy… Now you're using my interests against me?"
"Once again, we're sorry." Stella apologized. "But looking around this room… You must be really heartbroken."
"Well, how else would you feel if you were in my shoes, and someone took Drake?" Olivia responded back.
"Olivia..." Drake spoke up. "I never knew how much Sting meant to you… And if it's any consolation… It was my fault that the two may have ended up hooking up..."
"Drake, you don't have to keep beating yourself over that..." Stella reminded, as she turned back towards Olivia. "Anyways-"
"If you're gonna say that 'Accept what happened and move on' kinda crap… Spare me. I've heard it enough already..." Olivia stated.
Stella looked over at Drake with a 'What do we do now' expression.
Drake sighed. "I… Think she wants to be alone right now."
Stella looked over at Olivia, and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you may be right..." Stella said, as Drake patted Stella on the back.
"Hey, at the very least, we did try..." Drake replied back, as the two exited the room.
"Why did they come in?" Olivia muttered, as she closed the door to the room.
Confessional: This may be more difficult than we thought…
Drake: I haven't felt devastation this bad since that party with Chad… And this time, Olivia's the one feeling down. Poor girl...
Stella: We gotta think of something that'll cheer her up. But what?
It was the next morning, as Verna and Marissa were on the beach near the garden, busy sword-fighting with thankfully toy swords.
"So, I couldn't help but notice… How long have you've been in the glasses club for women?" Verna asked.
"Oh, since I turned 9." Marissa answered. "I'm kinda near-sighted, so anything that's a pretty far distance without my equip is more or less a bit of a lucky shot. What about you?"
"Been a member since I was 3." Verna admitted. "I've got astigmatism, so I am hosed without my specs. I did have some contacts during… Those days, but Steph probably destroyed them. Doesn't matter, because I'm more comfortable with glasses than contacts, anyway. Plus less hassle."
"Yeah, I can attest to that." Marissa agreed. "Plus, glasses makes anyone more cuter."
"I jumped for joy when Sun and Moon allowed you to place them on your trainer. I've been WAITING for that feature!" Verna grinned. "But enough about glasses. What's our game plan?"
"Well… Just make Ellis proud." Marissa replied back. "As well as my LARPing group."
"Is that when people role-play and stuff?" Verna asked. "Like Leonard back on Pawkitew?"
"Exactly! Only that we don't go overboard with it." Marissa replied back. "Okay, Hyun wears her wizard's hat all the time, and dyed her hair blue to be like an anime heroine…" She then blushes. "A rather cute anime heroine, but most of the time we just sit in one of our bedrooms and play DnD or any RPG."
"I see..." Verna said, with a smile on her face. "Perhaps I may do battle with her someday?"
"Probs." Marissa replied back. "Be warned, though. She is quite a toughie."
"Eh, I've battled against that bratty kid earlier today, and I always spar against Latif. What kinda strat would she do?" Verna said with a grin.
Confessional:
Marissa: Well, for starters… She's more on the side of using good offensive types. And like I explained several times before, probably, we're not just into clanging swords and magical spells.
Verna: Whoever this Hyun girl is… I look forward to battlin' ya one day.
In the town itself, Twiggy and Thunder was doing some shopping. While Thunder offered to carry the bags, Twiggy told him that he still needs to recover from his busted ribs.
"Thunder, I know you want to be a gentleman, but in your condition, you shouldn't strain yourself." Twiggy said, looking at him.
"Yeesh..." Thunder grumbled. "If we could only borrow one of those shopping carts temporary..."
"Eeeehhh… I think that may be illegal." Twiggy stated. "Probably, I dunno."
"Hey, we could have returned it after hours." Thunder responded.
"Yeah, but then we would have, like what Korpse would say, 5 stars on some kinda wanted level." Twiggy said, giggling.
"Wow, with that kinda level, you think we swiped something from Kim Kardasian…" Thunder replied back, chuckling lightly.
The two kept on walking, as someone dressed in rags approached them. They were holding what appeared to be a chipped coffee mug as well.
"Change for a fellah like me?" The raggedy person asked out loud. "I just need some change to get some food in my belly."
Thunder looked over at Twiggy. "Twigz, think we should trust him?"
Twiggy shrugged, as she offered the raggedy person an apple. "Here's something to hold you over, before I can come back with a meal for ya."
The raggedy person took the apple, and nodded. "Thanks."
"No prob." Twiggy gave off a smile, as she and Thunder started to leave…
…
"Whoa!" Thunder yelled out, being dragged back, as Twiggy turned around.
"Yeah, thanks for being such IDIOTS!" The raggedy person remarked back, biting into the apple. "Now, you hottie… Make with ALL of your cash. Or your boyfriend GETS it."
"Twiggy, you may wanna do so!" Thunder pleaded. "Muggers are NO joke!"
Twiggy stood in horror, as she didn't know what to do…
Meanwhile, Korpse and Nelson were in a shop, as the gaming goth was busy browsing some jewelry based off video games.
"Nel, look! This necklace is in the same style as that ring thingy around Arceus!" Korpse said, grinning with delight. "If Verna was actually into jewelry, this be a righteous gift!"
"And look at that pair of earrings modeled after Jiggys from Banjo-Kazooie!" Nelson added with a smile. "I say you buy it!"
"Indeed, I shall!" Korpse gave off a grin. "This'll go great when I do a stream of the Banjo-Kazooie games; I even got the original games on N64!"
As Korpse took the earrings, Nelson looked outside the shop, and saw the mugging of Thunder take place.
"What the hell..." Nelson muttered, as he looked over at Korpse. "Korpse! We gotta wrap this up! Thunder's getting MUGGED!"
"You're kidding, right?" Korpse asked, as she too could see Thunder in the process of being mugged. "Shit..."
Placing money on the counter, she pocketed the earrings, as the two ran out, with the cashier following them in the process.
"WAAAAAAIIIIITTTT! You gotta confirm your purchase and accept your receipt first!"
Back with Thunder and Twiggy, the mugger was getting impatient, as Twiggy was still frightened.
"So, you're retching on our deal? Hotties like you HAVE to be loaded!" The mugger said out loud, as he took out a knife, and placed it on Thunder's side. "Now, make with the dough, or your boyfriend gets an… extra hole."
Twiggy reached into her purse pocket, and pulled out what appeared to be a five dollar bill. "Sorry, it's all I've got!"
The mugger looked furious. "Seriously, you're short changin' me? That tears it!"
"Get your slimy mitts off my teammate..."
The mugger looked over near Twiggy, as a livid Korpse and Nelson were standing by, with Korpse pounding a fist into her palms.
"Say, aren't you that rich Yoselin chick that does all those games?" The mugger asked, as he shoved Thunder to the ground. "You must be truly loaded..."
But before the mugger could act, Korpse kicked him in the groin, as she nodded at Nelson. Nelson then gave off a right-hook at the mugger's stomach, downing him.
"Guess you're right; I am loaded…" Korpse sneered down. "Loaded with justice."
"But cheesy lines aside..." Nelson said out loud, as he held his hand down to the downed Thunder. "You're feeling okay, Thunder?"
Thunder accepted Nelson's hand, as the short contestant helped the Benchwarmer back up. "Thanks, kid."
Twiggy ran and hugged Thunder, being careful not to hug too hard. "Thunder!"
"Twiggy..."
"I'm so sorry that I didn't give him the cash sooner!" Twiggy apologized.
"No, no… You've done the right thing." Thunder replied back. "It was just bad luck that he ambushed us at that time."
"Ma'am!"
Korpse turned around, and saw that the cashier caught up to her.
"Ma'am, you gotta confirm your purchase first..." The cashier said out loud.
Korpse chuckled. "Oh… Oopsie. Sorry, but we had to save my friend first."
"Yeah, that guy on the ground tried to mug Thunder!" Nelson said out loud.
"If it helps, I saw the whole thing." The cashier replied back. "I'll see to it that the cops are called upon him."
"Thanks, ma'am." Twiggy said out loud.
"And I'll make sure to confirm my purchase." Korpse responded back.
Korpse followed the cashier back to the store, as Thunder looked over at Nelson with a look, almost looking ashamed at himself.
"Thunder?" Nelson asked.
"It's nothing, kid..." Thunder replied back.
Confessional: A hero, indeed…
Thunder: I… very nearly got horribly hurt today… Am I truly that weak? Weak enough for Korpse and Nelson to get me outta hot water?
Korpse: Hey, for the record… I didn't technically shoplift. But bros before hos, man! ...Would that even apply here?
An hour later, back at the cottage, Olivia was still moping in her room, as Cherri entered. The mess of chip bags and drink bottles was steadily piling up.
"Ooh, I got it!" Cherri grinned. "On the Interwebs, I came across a lady with a love of kittens. And get this; she is inked up all around! Her vids are on YouTube if you wanna take a peek-"
"Cherri… Do you honestly think I care right now?" Olivia responded back without looking at her.
Cherri sighed. "Sorry I even tried to ask."
She then started to try to leave, as she stopped just short of the door.
"...No. I can't give up on her like this." Cherri thought. "There has to be a way to bring her outta this funk."
Turning back around, she sat nearby Cherri, hoping to get some answers from her friend.
"Okay, then… Why not tell me. What attracted you to Sting in the first place?" Cherri asked.
Olivia sighed, almost clearly annoyed.
"Leave me alone." Olivia muttered.
Cherri got up, and sighed.
"Okay… I'll be around if you need me. But heed my words. You won't get over it just by moping in here and eating on sour cream and onion chips all day..." Cherri warned, as she left, leaving Olivia to her own devices.
But not too far, was Steph, listening in.
"So, the mental patient lost her retarded emo?" Steph asked herself, as a devious grin developed on her face. "This gives me an idea..."
In the garden, Xantara, Heidi, Mozart, and GENKI were busy doing some yoga. Xantara was balancing perfectly on one leg, as thus Mozart. Heidi was having some trouble standing up, and GENKI was also flailing her arms.
"Master! How are you able to bend your leg like that?" GENKI asked. "GENKI wants to know!"
"Hmm… Did Yento-dude toss in a ball joint for your limbs?" Mozart asked.
"I… think it would have never came into play… GENKI was built for services like difficult chores and bodyguarding."
Mozart gave off a smile. "Hmm… I think you've got some memories left in ya after all."
"Uh, cute bros, you may wanna teach me how to balance like a champ?" Heidi asked, as she fell onto her butt. "Annnnndd fumbled..."
Xantara helped her up with a smile. "It takes practice, Heidi… But you'll be balancing like anyone in due time."
"Hey, miss Xantara!"
The New Age girl's attention went over to three tween girls… The same girls from the pool party the other day.
"And what brings you three here?" Xantara asked gently.
"We wanna be like you!" The first girl said out loud.
"Yeah, teach us everything you know about yoga and tea!" The second girl also said.
"Please?" The third girl asked.
"How you'd even find our pad, little dudettes?" Mozart questioned back.
"I dunno… We asked some pink haired girl." The second girl answered back.
"Freight?" Heidi asked Mozart.
"Freight." Mozart nodded back. "Besides, she mentioned actual pink hair, and not the dudettes with pink highlights we know and see daily."
"GENKI is very confused now..." GENKI noted.
"So, can you teach us?" The first girl asked.
"Yeah, we wanna know how to reach into the cosmos!" The second girl added.
"We even got our ears pierced so we can wear those kinda groovy earrings!" The third girl chirped. "Though we removed the studs..."
"Wow, they're dedicated to a huge degree..." Heidi said, nodding in approval, rubbing her back. "Man… Good thing Grace wasn't here to see me fall flat on my butt."
Xantara giggled, as she let off a sweet smile.
"I'm always up to having a few new students on-board." Xantara said out loud.
"I wasn't even aware this was a class… We were only doing some yoga to strengthen our body and mind." Mozart commented, as the three girls grinned.
"So, what's first?" The third girl asked.
"Well, we're just about ready to meditate..." Xantara gave off a smile.
The three girls smiled, as they got into position. Xantara couldn't help but giggle.
"Already off to a good start, huh?" Xantara smiled at the three.
Confessional:
Xantara: Those three girls want me to teach me all I know about my lifestyle? Well, can't say no to that!
Mozart: I do feel like a new dude! Though… I can't exactly say the same for Heidi.
Heidi: It didn't help matters much that the Garden has a brick patio…
With Sting and Moana, they were currently talking to each other in their room.
"How's your… Um… barracuda doing?" Moana asked. "Did I word that right?"
"Moana..." Sting blushed in embarrassment. "Do you really gotta call it that?"
"Hey, gotta keep a cheerful mood on the situation!" Moana replied back.
"But yeah, it's healing up rather nicely." Sting smiled back. "Sting Jr's existence is still a go!"
"Indeed it is- Wait, Sting Jr?" Moana asked.
"Hey, can't count my chickens before they hatch!" Sting grinned, as there was a knock on the door. "It's open!"
The door opened, as Drake entered, with Stella following him. Both Sting and Moana looked at the two.
"Hey… Sting?" Drake asked. "Sorry that I nailed you under the belt the other day..."
But Sting smiled back. "Eh, it's fine. I'm still standing here, aren't I?"
Drake gave off a sweet smile. "Thanks..."
"But I gotta ask… How's Olivia doing?" Sting asked. "Everytime I pass by her, she just gives me a sad look..."
"We tried to cheer her up by pandering to her interests, but it was a no-go." Stella explained.
Moana sighed. "...It's my fault, is it?"
But Stella shook her head. "No, it's not. You've done nothing wrong, Moana!"
"But because of me saving Sting yesterday via CPR..." Moana continued. "I didn't mean to make Olivia so upset!"
"Moana… You did NOTHING wrong." Sting stated. "All you were doing was just natural, okay?"
Moana gave off a smile. "Thanks, Sting… Still, when should I talk to Olivia about this?"
"You may wanna give her some space for a while, Moana." Stella suggested. "Looks like we may be in it for the long haul."
"Yeah..." Moana nodded back. "I… guess I can forget about that bellybutton piercing, huh?"
"Huh?" Drake asked.
"Yeeeaaahhh..." Moana started to say, as…
"Residents! Please report to the Foyer for your next challenge!" Chris said through the intercom. "Including you, you chip-eating metalhead."
Sting got up almost quickly. "Well, guess it's our turn to rock. You two? Good luck, cause we won't go easy on ya!"
Drake nodded back. "Same here..."
In the Foyer, the contestants were awaiting Chris' arrival. Not too nearby, Olivia, clearly having dragged herself off her bed gave a look at Moana, and sighed.
Nelson looked over at Korpse. "Korpse, it pains me to see her like this. Do you know of anyone who's a bad enough boy for Olivia?"
But Korpse simply shook her head. "Sorry to say, but that's a negatory. I would attempt to set her up with Doomtaku, but he simply refused. Mainly to avoid any heartbreak."
"Wow… What happened?" Nelson asked.
"I rather not say… Lest I trigger you by accident." Korpse stated.
"Oh..." Nelson nodded back, almost understanding.
"Residents!" Chris said out loud, entering the Foyer, dressed in a pair of overalls, a beige sweater, and a hat with the letter C on the front. "Can any of you summarize what today's challenge is?"
Mozart raised his hand. "I'm thinking it's a Mario themed challenge, dude."
"Indeed it is, Mozart!" Chris sported a grin.
"Hey, hold up!" Sting spoke up, interrupting Chris. "Did we already do this kinda challenge with babies and Yoshi?"
"Yeah, you did. But that was a Yoshi's Island challenge! Totally different idea!" Chris answered back. "Anyways, your challenge comes in three parts! First off, two of you will be taken back to Mario's roots and hop over barrels as he faces off against his first nemesis… Donkey Kong!"
"Swish!" Heidi sported a grin. "We've already got a talented jumper among us!"
Twiggy could only whistle innocently.
"The second part takes part in the forest, where two of either team will answer questions based off of one of Mario's greatest adventures yet… Super Mario RPG!"
Marissa whistled innocently on her side, as someone looked over at her.
"Okay, what's your deal?" Steph questioned, as she crossed her arms. "We were born after that childish game came out."
"Dad had a SNES, and handed it down to me with several of his favorite games..." Marissa admitted, straightening her beret.
"And for the finale… Two from each team shall portake in what I like to call… Blindfolded Mario Kart: Double Dash! More details shall be given later on..."
"I think I have a hint of what's coming up..." Thunder said, as Twiggy nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I would have had you drive among oncoming traffic, but I rather not be filed with a lawsuit concerning that…" Chris admitted.
"Did the last dude that tried that also lose a part of his pinkie?" Mozart asked.
"Now, it's time to decide who goes where! So, huddle up and decide on who does what challenge!" Chris finished, as he left the contestants to their own devices.
Gigglin' Gryphons
The teams were huddled in a circle to discuss on how to stragize for the challenge.
"Okay, so according to the challenge, we'll be hopping over barrels being tossed, having to answer trivia questions about a retro game, and drive blindfolded while the other sends out directions." Verna stated.
"How'd you figure out the last portion so quickly, babe?" Mozart asked.
"Me and Brotif played Double Dash all while we were growing up." Verna smiled back. "Never underestimate a classic game, bud. Now… The Double Dash portion requires teamwork. And being Olivia's kinda not feeling it right now… Nelson? Xantara? You two wanna take to the roads?"
"You can count on us!" Nelson saluted, with Xantara smiling at her friend.
"Yeah, maybe with a victory under our belts, maybe that'll spark some positive energies into Olivia." Xantara said. "Despite everything, she is still one of our well-skilled contestants on our team."
"Okay, done! Now… Marissa, I know you already know a lot about Super Mario RPG." Verna continued.
"Yeppers, like the back of my own hand!" Marissa proudly stated.
"You wanna team up with me and ace this quiz?" Verna asked.
"You bet!" Marissa gave off a smile. "With our Intelligence stats together, we shall come outta this battle with a smile on our faces! And some EXP as well. And maybe a level up."
"Which leaves jumping over barrels..." Verna pondered, as she looked at her team. "Mozart? Cherri? Since you two are most likely the bestest jumpers, what with Mozart's martial arts skills and Cherri climbing trees to scope out bugs..."
"Hey! That's where some of the bestest bugs reside!" Cherri grinned.
"...You two wanna tag-team and take on those barrels?" Verna offered.
Cherri smiled. "You can count on me! Besides, I seen this kinda action before! Only it involved a dung beetle, and things are swiftly going beyond TMI territory, now." Cherri answered back.
"You bet I've got our buggy babe's back, Vern." Mozart nodded.
"Nice! Now, let's do this. And win our victory, and hope it isn't in another castle!" Verna declared.
Confessional: Toad would be proud…
Verna: And maybe in the meantime… I can get Sting, Moana, and Olivia to talk it out? I haven't seen such a trio of heaviness since many a theory about Dugtrio got debunked…
Olivia: Ugh, why can't I mope around in peace? -She sighs-
Powerhungry Polar Bears
As like the Geeks, they too were huddled close together, deciding on who takes on what.
"Okay, we've got to choose who goes where." Twiggy said out loud. "I ain't no expert on gaming…"
"Pfft, why not let Korpse drive?" Steph asked. "She probably has driving experience down to a T."
"You betchya!" Korpse grinned back.
"As for her partner… I propose Stella..." Steph continued. "Perhaps she isn't too blonde to lend you some directions."
Twiggy scowled. "Hey, my blonde hair doesn't mean a thing!"
"I can trust Stella, man. No need to bring hair colors into all of this!" Korpse defended back.
"Now, as for the quiz… I shall be entering the woods… With Drake." Steph stated.
Drake gulped, as Stella patted his back in comfort.
"And as for who hops over barrels… Heidi and Twiggy? You're good at what you do best. Think you two can hop over barrels being tossed by some zoo escapee?" Steph asked.
"You bet!" Twiggy agreed, as she gave off a glare at Steph. "Though I'm still upset at that blonde taunt."
Heidi then approached the cheerleader. "Hey, she's just tryin' to get your head outta the game! Just think happy thoughts..." Heidi said out loud. "Like Martha Stewart cooking up a storm and doing insider trading..."
"Er, did she go to prison for that?" Korpse asked.
Heidi chuckled. "Ooooookkkkaaayyy, bad example!"
Confessional: Almost as bad as trading on Gen 5's GTS…
Heidi: That's all I know about Martha Stewart! Grace probably learned a few tips from her, I dunno…
Steph: Ooh, I struck a nerve… This is pure gold!
On the beach, Heidi and Twiggy, as thus Mozart and Cherri looked up at what appeared to be a large scalping, twice built for both teams to climb up. They could see what appeared to be two people in what appeared to be a gorilla costume. Their outfit's head were currently off at the moment.
"Hey, isn't that the Truant officer Drake, Stella, and I saved back during the hooky challenge?" Heidi asked out loud.
"Wow, how that happen?" Twiggy asked.
"Let's just say, make sure to scope out your surroundings next time, Twigz." Heidi answered back. "It almost felt like an action movie then."
With Mozart and Cherri, they also looked at their guy, ready to lob barrels at them.
"Hey, isn't tossing barrels not part of a school environment?" Mozart taunted.
"We aren't doing that game today, man! And besides, isn't taunting not recommended in a reality show environment?" The suited up guy responded back.
"Do I wanna know what reality shows he watched?" Mozart asked.
"Err… I would say, but just the concept would bring some triggers to anyone." Cherri replied back. "So I rather not risk it."
"That bad, huh?" Mozart nodded, as Cherri agreed.
Chris, observing the challenge from far off, gave off a grin at the camera.
"And thus, we're about to start off the Mario Challenge! But who will jump to a victory? Find out… After the break!" Chris said out loud, as…
"Hiya! Cloud Flyer Freight-Itu at your service!" Freight said, floating in on what appeared to be a hovercraft, fashioned to look like a Lakitu's cloud from Mario.
"Freight, when did you mod my hovercraft that I brought from the set of-" Chris started to ask.
"Eh, gotta fit with the theme to the challenge." Freight shrugged back. "Besides, gotta break this puppy in for the third portion of the challenge!"
"How did you even get it to work?" Chris asked.
"Solar panels can work many a miracle." Freight winked back.
And the Mario challenge is on! Who shall wave their arms from side to side and do the Mario? We'll see…
NEXT TIME: Jumping, Quizzing, and Go-Karting… Oh, my...
