Twilight Town (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Everyone came out of the pipe as they looked around. "Okay, this is just creepy." Goombella said.

"No kidding." Koops said.

"Hey." Said a voice as they turned to see a Twilighter walking up to them. "Welcome to Twilight Town...actually, you came at a bad time." He said.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked.

"Well...it's kinda hard to explain...wait a minute! Are you guys adventurers? In that case, you guys might be able to undo this cur-" He said, but a bell interrupted him. "Oh no...who's going to be turned into next?!" He exclaimed...as he transformed into a pig, surprising everyone.

"That's...not normal." Lightning said.

"Oh good, it wasn't just me." Yoshi sighed in relief.

"Oh no, there goes Freddie." Said a voice as they looked to see an old man walking up to him.

"Who are you?" Mario asked.

"I'm Mayor Dour, come to my house. I will explain everything." He said as they nodded and walked to Dour's house.

"Alright, like Freddie said, you came at a bad time. Twilight Town used to be a very peaceful, gloomy town. However, at the Creepy Steeple which is not far from here, a monster decided to live in the Creepy Steeple. And now...every time that bell rings, one of the Twilighters turns into a pig." Dour explained.

"Whoa..." Goombella said.

"Indeed, thanks to that monster, this whole town is cursed. I advise you to turn back before you too...get piggified." Dour said.

Sora (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Are you kidding? We'll defeat that monster who is in that Creepy Steeple." Sora said with a smile.

"Yeah, we faced tough monsters; we'll defeat this monster for you!" Mario exclaimed.

"Are you saying you're going to go to Creepy Steeple where that monster lives? Unthinkable..." Dour said with a shiver.

"By the way, have you heard of this Crystal Star we're looking for?" Goofy asked.

"I never heard of this Crystal Star...but I recall seeing a red stone shaped like a star some time ago." Dour said.

"That's what we're looking for." Lightning said as she looked at them. "Alright, let's go to the Creepy Steeple." She said as they nodded.

"I'd be careful if I were you." Dour cautioned them as they walked out.

Twilight Town

"Alright, let's go." Sora said as they walked off.

"This place is pathetic...it's nothing but pigs." Yoshi said as they walked around.

"Oh moon, grant me my wish...I wish I wasn't turned into a pig, I'll even give up bacon!" A Twilighter said as they walked past him.

"Wow...sad." Koops said as they walked up to the gate.

"Sorry, you can't go past over here until you get Mayor Dour's approval." Another Twilighter said.

"Oh great...back to Dour's house." Sora said, and as soon as they started walking, they heard someone crying. "Huh?"

"I think it's coming from this building." Lightning said as she opened the door, as it was an item shop.

"Oh, customers." The shop owner said. "We're not open...because my husband turned into a pig." She said.

"Really?" Yoshi asked.

"Yeah, he went out to get some fire wood and when he came back...it wasn't my husband...it was this pig. I think the reason for this is because we got into an argument and before he left, I called him a pig...and he returns as a pig." She said, as everyone looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"But he also has a sweet side, I mean...did you know that the other day..."

One LONG rambling session about her husband later...

Everyone looked at her with sweatdrops after she finished. "Oh! You're welcome to anything in the storeroom back there." She said as they nodded and walked to it...only it was locked.

"It's locked." Donald said.

"It is? Oh...I think my husband went out there with the key." She said as they sighed and walked out.

"Well, I guess we still have to visit the Mayor." Mario said as they nodded and walked back...and then the bell rung.

"EEEK! Who's turning into a pig now?!" Goombella exclaimed as she looked around, none of her friends were pigs. "Oh thank god." She said.

"I wonder who did get turned into a pig, though." Lightning wondered as they walked over to the mayor's house.

"Hey Mayor Dour, we were just wonder-OH MY GOD!" Koops yelled, seeing a pig was in the house.

"Damnit...the mayor got piggified." Sora said.

"Well now what do we do?" Donald asked.

"We have to tell the Twilight Gate Keeper about this." Mario said as they ran back, and the bell rang again.

"This is getting ridiculous!" Yoshi exclaimed. "Who got turned into a pig THIS time?" He asked.

"I'll give you one guess." Lightning said as she pointed to the gatekeeper...as a pig.

"OH COME ON!" Yoshi yelled as he got an idea. "Hmm...I wonder if we can continue forward." He said.

Sora pushed the gate open as they ran off to the woods.

As soon as they reached a shack, they stopped as they looked around for a key. "I wonder..." Koops said as he looked in the shack as he found a certain key. "Oh boy." He said as he picked it up. "Hey Mario! Look what I found." He said as Mario turned to see Koops holding a black key.

"Oh hell no..." Mario muttered.

"Hey! I found it!" Sora said as he looked under a fallen tree to see a key.

"Down there, huh?" Lightning asked as she went down to her chest and reached for it, but it was a little out of her reach. "Come on...almost there."

Suddenly, the key moved as Sora used Magnega and took the key as he smiled at Lightning.

"Show off..." She muttered as she got up and walked away with the others.

"We got the key!" Sora said as the shopkeeper smiled.

"Alright! Now just help yourself to anything you find in there." She said as they nodded and walked in.

"What the heck? What's with this chest?" Yoshi asked as Mario sighed and touched the black chest.

"Whoa now! Visitors! Haven't had any in a long while!"

"You're going to curse me." Mario said.

"Whoa whoa WHOA now! I won't do that!"

"The other two that I met cursed me." Mario muttered.

"Really? Oh I won't do that! I'm crossing my heart right now! Just open the chest."

"Fine..." Mario said as he unlocked the chest.

"OH YEAH! YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" He yelled as the darkness grabbed Mario.

"MARIO!" Flurrie yelled as Lightning quickly took out her gunblade as Yoshi ran to the darkness and punched it.

"LET GO OF MARIO, YOU RANDOM DARKNESS!" He ordered.

Curse of the Black Chest (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"OH MAN...you should've seen the look on your face! I tricked you!"

"I saw this one coming." Mario said.

"SILENCE! You shall NOT ruin this moment! You will now...BE CURSED!" It yelled as Mario rolled his eyes as a bright flash happened.

"For this brilliant free curse, you will turn into a paper tube! First you turn paper thin and then you twist yourself around until you become a paper tube. IT'S SO WORTH IT!"

"That's impossible. A human can't do that and I am not made out of paper."

"YOU RUINED THIS MOMENT. You are now officially called the logic police!" It exclaimed as the darkness disappeared from them.

Twilight Town

"What just happened?" Lightning asked.

"So what did you get cursed into this time?" Sora asked.

"Something about a paper tube." Mario said as they walked out.

"Didn't find anything good in there? Sorry, that's all we had." She apologized as they walked out...and then the bell rang again.

"HEY! QUIT RINGING THAT BELL!" Donald yelled...and then HE got turned into a pig.

"DONALD!" They all yelled.

"WOOHOO! IT WASN'T ME!" A Twilighter exclaimed. "THANK YOU, MOON!" He smiled.

"Oh...Donald..." Goofy said saddened.

"We must go on without him, we'll fix this." Sora said as Goofy nodded and they ran off, leaving behind a piggified Donald.

Poor Donald.

I forgot to mention that yesterday...a certain chicken from the Zelda series has been confirmed in Smash 4. Sakurai didn't say if it was an Assist Trophy or an item...but we know what THAT meeeeans...
