"Ladies and gentleman, I'm Sarge from Red vs Blue."
"And I'm Church, and I seem to have been paired up with Sarge for some reason."
"Come now Church, no need to be so pessimistic."
"Can I ask, why didn't you get teamed up with someone from your own team?"
"I'm with those knuckleheads nearly every day, thought it would be a great way to learn to work with others… And also, to show that the reds are better than the blues."
"Ah, right, there it is."
"Getting back on topic, today, if there are no explosions interrupting us we'll be talking about…."
"Hi Sarge, Church, how are you two doing?" Asked Log, who appeared from the shadows.
"Not now Log, we're busy with a PSA." Replied Sarge.
"Shame." Log mused, as he pressed a button causing a trap door to appear underneath the two spartans.
"Oh, I see, that's how it's gonna be." Said Church.
"Seems like it, enjoy your trip."
"We'll get you for this, you annoying child!" Yelled Sarge, as both he and Church fell down the trap door into the abyss below it. The trap door then closed, after which both Mario and Sonic walked into the room.
"Are they gone?" Asked Mario.
"They are, we can get started." Replied Log, as background decorations from both Mario and Sonic's world dropped into the room.
"Actually, change of plans, we'll take it from here. Why don't you go to the lounge room, grab some popcorn and watch the trailer for my movie about twenty times." Said Sonic.
"Oh, don't mind if I do." Said Log, as he made his way over to the lounge area while humming 'Live and Learn' to himself.
"That was almost too easy." Muttered Sonic, as he slammed the door to the lounge area shut.
"That was mean of you Sonic, trapping him in a room with only a trailer and no popcorn." Replied Mario.
"Eh, what can you do." Sonic shrugged. "Now let's get this party started."
The two new hosts then turned to the camera, and Mario said "Hello everyone, its'a me, Mario, your host for this PSA."
"And I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. Now, you all might be wondering why we took over from those two and the answer is quite simple."
"Our PSA will cover one of the most important aspects of both our series, and aspect that a ton of people who have played our games or even those that read this series will get a kick out of. Power ups and other items, as we introduce you to the topic of this PSA…"

An SRS Production:
PSA: The Use of Power Ups and Other Items
"Now, as many of you might know, any good adventurer or hero needs their items." Said Mario. "Be it things that give control over the elements, an extra hit that allows you to keep going, the powers stolen from your enemies, upgrades that you find while exploring an entire planet before blowing it up…"
Confessional – Samus
"For the millionth time Mario, only two of those were my fault and done to save the universe from evil. Every other time was the fault of someone else, how many times do I have to explain that!" Yelled Samus while flying through space with her gun ship, as nearby a planet exploded. "That was not my fault, you all saw I had nothing to do with that."
End Confessional
Sonic then took over and said "Or you could be a gigantic edgelord and just use a gun to solve all of your problems."
"I resent that!" Yelled Shadow, Bayonetta and Joker from off screen.
"The bottom line is, power ups can really help you out when you're in a jam. Just look at the Fire Flower, not only does it give you another hit on top of the Mushroom, but it gives you a projectile. And I do not want to admit how many times they have saved me while trying to save Peach." Said Mario.
"No need, we have the recording of that exact moment on video." Replied Sonic, pressing a button revealing a screen that appeared from the ceiling. "Ladies and gentlemen, Mario at his most desperate."

BGM: Going Somewhere - Mario Party 2 (Mario Party Superstars)
Flashback
A much younger looking Mario was seen in a field filled to the brim with floating item blocks, that he was bashing his fists against. "Come on, come on, please have a Fire Flower, please have a Fire Flower!" Mario pleaded, as he punched another brick, only for a single coin to come out of it. "OH, COME ON!"
Later
After several hours of punching against the floating blocks, Mario had made it to the last one in the field. "Stars above, I beg of you, please let this last one hold a Fire Flower."
So, he punched the final block, and out came the long-awaited Fire Flower. "Finally!" Mario exclaimed with glee, as he then took it and turned into Fire Mario. A montage then followed that showed Mario completely roasting the last bit of Bowser's defenses, including the Hammer Brothers standing in his path. Then he went along and beat Bowser with relative ease, before saving the princess.

"…That wasn't so bad, now was it, Mario?" Asked Sonic, as the video stopped playing.
"I'll get you back for this." Muttered Mario with a scowl on his face, before losing the scowl and continuing the PSA. "Now, while it is true that Fire Flowers and other items can give you an extra projectile, they can also be extremely dangerous. If not handled with care, they can bring immense destruction to the surrounding areas."
Confessional – Ruby Rose
"You accidentally set fire to the Emerald Forest one time because you weren't being careful with a Fire Flower, and you'll never hear the end of it."
"That's because I told you to be careful with it Ruby, but did you listen to me? No, you decided to mess around with it. And what was it you said again?" Asked Weiss.
Ruby sighed and replied "I said that I knew what I was doing, because I had mad skills."
"Precisely, and what ended up happening afterwards?"
"The Emerald Forest caught fire." Replied Ruby, who then shot Weiss a dirty look and said "Not like you're one to talk, with what happened with the entire dorm building and that Ice Flower."
Weiss got a look of embarrassment on her face, and yelled "Shush, we don't talk about that!"
"Oh but Weiss, I thought you said you knew what you were doing, especially since it happened after I nearly burned down the Emerald Forest."
"Why you little…." Yelled Weiss, as she got out her rapier and turned into her Fierce Deity Weiss form.
"Bring it on princess, bring it on!" Yelled Ruby who took out her scythe and turned into her Zinogre form, after which the two descended into a big dust cloud of violence and the camera cut off.

"Let that be a lesson to be careful when using items, for you might cause irreparable damage to your surroundings or to others." Said Mario.
"But it's not always the heroes who can cause damage with items and power ups."
"What are you talking about Sonic?"
"Come now Mario, we both know that sometimes the villains tend to use the powers of the heroes against them."
"Oh, right, forgot about that."
Confessional – Doctor Eggman
"Oh, you would not believe how much fun I had using the Wisps against Sonic, shame that the compartments housing the Wisps kept breaking. But despite all that and the plan failing, seeing my machine be able to use those abilities certainly was a sight to behold."
"What about using the energy from the planet you stole, while you were at the Lost Hex boss?" Asked Orbot.
"Oh right, that one." Said Eggman, as he leaned back into his chair, as he thought for a while and then replied "That was an interesting plan, especially the look on that blasted hedgehog's face when he realized that if he couldn't stop me the life of the planet would be gone, but I don't see myself reusing that plan."
"Why not boss? It was a great idea, destroying that planet and all your enemies would have been gone." Said Cubot.
"I just don't see myself repeating the plan… that and the fact that the machine was destroyed afterwards and Tails took away the blueprints for it. Not to mention that I forgot to save it to one of my computers."
"Not to worry, my rotund looking lookalike, if you wanted you could just steal that blue rats quill and use it to power up your machine." Said a different looking Eggman who just came into the interviewing booth.
"And who are you supposed to be, the Riddler?"
"No."
"The lawyer who couldn't lie for twenty-four hours."
"What? No."
"The guy who was given the power of god, but ended up messing it up."
"Of course not."
"The guy who wore that green mask."
"What green mask?"
"The guy who didn't know his entire life was a tv show."
"No, you imbecile! I'm you from the other universe!" Yelled Robotnik.
"Ah, I see, you're that guy. Didn't your plan fail?" Asked Eggman.
"Don't all of your plans fail as well?" Asked Robotnik.
"Right, and I would just love to see how your team up with Knuckles is gonna go." Replied Eggman.
"You want to go there, very well then, Badniks come forth!" Yelled Robotnik, as the interview room got filled with a large group of white robots.
"Bring it, call in the Eggfleet and activate the instant death laser!" Yelled Eggman, after which the Eggfleet that was hovering above the building activated the instant laser and fired it at the building. But before it could hit the building, the camera was cut off.
We are once again experiencing technical difficulties, we ask you to please stand by and to not change this channel.
Confessional – Bowser
Bowser stepped into the now destroyed room, as he saw that the two Eggmen were now engaged in a fist fight. He ignored them and turned to the camera "I can't say much, I don't really use any of Mario's items. Sure, my minions and the other villains were used when everyone was stuck in my body. But, I'm not sure that it counts. I mainly use magic that Kamek provides me, so if you want to know more about that maybe read chapter two on magic. He does explain a lot about it there."
"What about other times, I'm sure that you have used items at one point, right?" Asked the camera man.
"Not sure if it counts, there was the time I turned into a cat to fight them. But that hasn't happened here yet, but it did in the main universe. So there is that."
"Anything else you would like to say?"
"I'm happy that for this appearance I don't have to sit in the make-up chair for hours to get the Phazon effect applied to me."
Confessional – Ridley
"Not much to say here, we once tried to copy Samus's morph ball technology, but we couldn't make it work and it ended with a space pirate getting all of his bones crushed by the technology. We gave him a proper send off."
"And by that you mean?"
"We burned him until he was cooked, and then had him for dinner. However, between you and me, we have been thinking about copying the armor Samus wears to add to my armored form. Give it some extra defense, but that's just between you and me."
"But this confessional is live."
"Well then, tell me camera man, do you have a family?"
"No, I live all alone."
"Shame, guess I'm going to be having a very light snack."
"Wait, what? A light snack, what light snack?" Asked the camera man, only for him to notice the look in Ridley's eyes. After which he screamed out in agony, as Ridley lunged at him.
We're experiencing some technical difficulties, please stand by.
Confessional – Dimentio
"The only thing I have to say about this is, is that if Chibi was still around I totally would have messed with the heroes by messing around with the power ups. Why? Just for shits and giggles." Said Dimentio, who then teleported out of the interviewing room.
Confessional – Mega Man and Kirby
"I get my items from the robots I defeat, and sometimes I get them from colleagues of dad who out of the kindness of their hearts give them to me to help out against Wily. Which reminds me, Wily doesn't really use my weapons against me. The only time he did was with the Double Gear fiasco, but only because he started using them first. So I'm not sure it actually counts."
"Poyo. Poy poy poy poy poy, poooooooyoooo."
"Uhm, what did he say?" Asked the new camera man.
"He, said that he mostly gets power ups, not items. And those are mainly from the enemies or boss attacks he inhales."
"You can understand him?"
"Sure can." Replied Mega Man, who then noticed SAPR coming into the room and asked "Oh hey SAPR, what are you doing here?"
"I heard you two were doing confessionals for this PSA episode, wanted to check it out."
"Well join us, who knows, you might have some insight."
"Oh sure." Replied SAPR, who then took a seat next to them and started explaining "I can shoot lasers, I can hover and do a bunch of stuff that big sis Penny can also do."
"What about the power ups or items that are exclusive to you?" Asked the Camera man.
"Oh that, I have copies of weapons from Team RWBY, which I can switch at any moment. I'm actually trying to figure out how to use them all at once."
"Won't that overload your systems?" Asked Mega Man.
"I'm sure I'll think of something." Replied SAPR.
Confessional - Cranky Kong
"Back in my day we didn't use items and we liked it, you got hit, you died, end of story."
"Oook oook hee hee oook oook." (Sure thing gramps, now come on, lets get you your medicine.) Replied Diddy Kong.
End confessional
"Well, that was certainly something. I'm kind of questioning whether or not it was a good idea to invite the villains to this." Said Sonic, who had just finished watching the footage.
End BGM
"Oh Sonic~" Mario sang, with an evil look of glee on his face.
"Uh… yes Mario?"
"I have the footage of your mishaps with your own items, and now we're going to watch it."
"Mario no!" Yelled Sonic, who tried to grab the remote from Mario. Only for him to be stopped by a force field.
"What a shame, stopped by a force field. Oh well, it always works to come prepared for these kinds of things. Now let's watch the failure." Said Mario, as he pressed the remote which activated the television screen on the ceiling.
Flashback
BGM: Can Can (Start at 0:40) (Offenbach)
Sonic was seen running circles around Knuckles whilst having the invincibility power up activated, and at the same time he was taunting the red echidna. "Ha ha, I'm too fast for you and you can't hit me!"
Knuckles replied by simply putting his leg out as Sonic was running around him, causing the blue hedgehog to trip over onto the ground. A couple of seconds later the invincibility wore off, and Sonic looked at Knuckles who had an angry look on his face "You were saying?"
"Oh crud." Replied Sonic.
Static
Sonic was running around Angel Island with the fire shield activated, until a bit of ember entered his nose. Causing Sonic to let out a massive sneeze, that released a massive fire ball, which led to the entire island catching fire. "Oh crud, can't let Knuckles find out about this." Sonic muttered, as he then ran off.
"Dammit Sonic, I just regrew the entire jungle from the last time!" Knuckles was heard shouting.
Static
In one of the many water levels that existed, Sonic was seen running through the level with the aqua shield. Not having to worry about the possibility of running out of air at all, that was until he got shot by a pellet from one of the robots in the level.
Seeing a water bubble generator nearby, he quickly ran over to, but while doing so he could hear the bell that he was beginning to get low on air. And as he got there, he saw a water bubble float away from into the air. So, he decided to wait.
But with each second that passed he began to hear the low on air tune more and more, until it started getting louder and louder. Leading to him banging his hands on the floor, waiting for the bubble to come out. Only for nothing to happen.
A couple more seconds later, and fainted from the loss of air. And only then would the air bubble come, causing Sonic's ghost to exclaim in frustration "Oh come on!"
Static
Sonic stood in front of several monitors that held the electric shield and wondered to himself "Hmm, what would happen if I broke all of them?" So he charged a spin dash, and broke all of them, creating an electric shield around him.
Seeing nothing happen, Sonic mused to himself "Guess it cancels each other out." Only for an ocean of rings to fly at him, causing him to get infinite lives. "Huh, neat."
He then saw that all the badniks in the area came flying at him, and as he dodged them he thought to himself "Oh crap, the magnetism affected everything in the area." Leading to him having to dodge everything that came flying at him, including a bunch of badniks, Amy's hammer, Shadow's guns, the Tornado and a bunch of scrap metal.
After having dodged all of it he mused to himself "Phew, beat that, I'm sure nothing bad will happen now." Only for a massive round shadow to block out the sun for him, so Sonic looked up and saw that the Death Egg was falling towards him at rapid speed. "Oh, today is not my day." Muttered Sonic, as he was crushed by the Death Egg.

The recording finished playing, to which Sonic replied "Oh, ha ha, very funny Mario."
Mario took down the shield and replied "Oh, have a sense of humor Sonic, besides now we're even."
"I guess so, anyways onto the next topic about items, items that give you a super form." Said Sonic, who then pressed a button that caused a curtain to rise up revealing a Power Star in a box and the Chaos Emeralds. As well as a tied up Dark Ruby, who had her powers dampened by the restraints.
"We're going to be showing how these kinds of items work, by using them on our special guest Dark Ruby who volunteered for this." Sonic explained.
"Don't you think that's a bit much Sonic, I mean none of us like her, but like this, in the light hearted PSA story?" Asked Mario.
"Relax, it will be completely…."
"There they are!" A voice shouted out.
"…fine." Said Sonic, who then turned to the source of the, only to see all the Reds and Blues standing in front of them. All of them having their weapons aimed at them.
"You guys managed to make it out of that trap door?" Asked Mario.
"We did." Replied Sarge, who kept his weapon aimed at the two.
"Can't we talk about this?" Asked Sonic.
"Nope, we are not amused." Replied Church.
"Mario?"
"Yes Sonic?"
"Let's get out of here."
"Right." Replied Mario, after which Sonic ran to another room, from which he exited with Log with him. He then grabbed onto Mario as well, and the trio ran away from the building, as Mario shouted "This have been Mario and Sonic, thanks for watching this PSA!" After which they completely left the building behind, leaving the Reds and Blues alone in the building with Dark Ruby.
"Oh look, it's that dark broad." Said Tucker.
"Oh look, it's those red and blue losers, who can't accomplish shit to save their lives." Replied Dark Ruby, who recognized the voices of the Reds and Blues.
"Alright men, let's do the thing that the readers have been wanting to happen to her since her introduction." Said Sarge.
"Right!" Replied the rest of the Reds and Blues, who aimed their weapons.
"On three we shoot, one, two, three!" Yelled Sarge, after which the group started shooting. Only for the camera to cut the view out, with only the sound of the bullets firing and hitting its target being heard.
Thanks Log!
Ibuki: Hooray! She's dead! ...Until we more than likely need her again for a PSA, she thinks... *sweatdrops*
Eh, tormenting her is fun.
Ibuki: True!
