Episode 24: Entwined

Luigi has been waiting for this day for as long as he could remember. June 3, 2016 is the day the green-clad plumber will finally marry the woman of his dreams - Princess Daisy, the princess of Sarasaland. Much of the morning was dedicated to preparing for the wedding, which meant that the entire mansion was at full force when getting prepared. And when you have close to a hundred people inside a mansion, things can get quite chaotic...

"How does my hair look?" the female Inkling asked Cloud, who was busy combing his hair in front of the mirror. The Inkling had put hair tentacle hair in a bun, just like Marie of Inkopolis News - heck, her attire from the neck down is based off of Marie!

"Your hair looks alright, I suppose," replied Cloud, not even bothering to look away from the mirror. For the blonde swordsman, wearing a black suit felt kinda weird - rarely does he dress up in formal attire. But he's willing to make it work.

"You didn't either bother to look at my hair! Why must you be so difficult?!"

"Just a few more hours until the wedding, and all of this will be over..." sighed Cloud. As a rule from Master Hand, everyone in the mansion has to attend the wedding; anyone who is a no-show will be punished severely. So if you have a fever or a migraine, and you're unable to attend the wedding, expect Master Hand to punish you once you're fully healthy.

Cloud: First time I'm ever attending a wedding, and I gotta say, it might be a surreal experience for me. With all the time I've spent fighting off evil and stuff, I never really get the chance to attend traditional ceremonies and whatnot. At night, I would ponder over what it would be like if Aerith and I were to get married and start a family. But of course, dumb Sephiroth had to screw my dreams...man, I sure do hate that guy.

Elsewhere in the mansion, Palutena was searching for Lucas, who is understandably too afraid to attend the wedding due to the absurd amount of guests. The goddess of light would eventually find the blonde teenager (thought he was a little kid, didn't you?) in one of the cupboards in the kitchen, shaking in fright in his lovely tuxedo.

"Come on out Lucas, promise I won't hurt you," Palutena held her hand out to Lucas, but the PSI wiz slapped it away. The kid...erm, teen, is the epitome of a lost cause.

"Get away from me, I don't want to go to the wedding!" whined Lucas. So he's gonna stay in the cupboard for the entire day? What a way to go... "Tell Master Hand I have the runs, and I can't make it!"

"But Master Hand will punish you regardless for not attending..." Lucas, after hearing this bit of information from Palutena, decided to come around.

"Fine then, I'll go..." Lucas moaned, getting out of the cupboard. He held hands with Palutena, and the two walked out of the kitchen, with R.O.B watching and shaking his head in dismay.

R.O.B: LUCAS...THIRTEEN YEARS OF AGE...STILL HOLDS HANDS...WHAT A DWEEB...

Outside the mansion, Mario, Luigi, Isabelle (speaking with someone on the phone), and Master Hand were waiting on the limousines to arrive. Master Hand had Peach drive Daisy to a nail salon, and Rosalina and Zelda had to tag along. The Smash Universe creator wants Daisy to stay isolated from Luigi until the wedding - don't even bother asking.

"Mario I need to speak with you for a quick second!" King Dedede rushed to Mario carrying his camera bag, and he was exhaling frequently when he took his breather after stopping. Could it have hurt for the penguin to get a workout or two in prior to the wedding? It might make his cameraman job slightly easier. "I forgot to charge the camera overnight, and it's at only 30 percent of battery life!"

"Would it-a be wise to leave the camera off until-a the wedding starts?" suggested Mario. Both he and Luigi were wearing tuxedos, though you already knew they would, since it's an unspoken rule to wear formal attire to a wedding.

"Yeah, good idea, why haven't I thought of it!" King Dedede pulled out the camera and turned it off. "Hoo boy, the battery drained a lot more than I imagined, it's already at 25 percent!"

"Did-a you bring a battery charger?" asked Luigi. "As long as you have-a that, you should-a be fine."

"That camera should be the least of our concerns right now!" said an impatient Master Hand. "Those limousines haven't arrived yet!" Master Hand had ordered five stretch limousines to come to the mansion; each limo seats up to twenty people, and if you do the math, that's around a hundred seats, which can compensate for all of the brawlers.

"Just got off the phone with the limousine service!" Isabelle said after hanging up the phone. "They said that the limousines should be coming in less than five minutes!"

"Excellent. Go inside the mansion, and make sure that everybody is ready!" Anyone who isn't ready will have to face the mighty wrath of Master Hand, and nobody would want to face that. Isabelle followed the hand's orders, going back inside the mansion to ensure that everyone is all ready to go. Sonic was ready, as he walked out the front door in his wedding attire...a red plaid shirt and black pants, like he's a hedgehog lumberjack or something.

"So what do you guys think?" Sonic asked Mario and company about his attire; both Mario and Luigi were shaking their heads. Apparently Sonic didn't get the dress code memo - or did he?

Sonic: Everyone knows that you should wear formal and informal attire to a wedding, but I'm gonna change that! You should be allowed to wear whatever you want to a wedding, screw the dress code! My revolution starts TODAY!

"No way we're letting you sit in the front with that attire," said Master Hand. He would order Sonic to go back inside the mansion and put on a suit or tuxedo, but knowing the hedgehog, that would require too much work.

"Eh, I wasn't really planning on sitting in the front anyways, too much attention would be drawn to me," shrugged Sonic. Most or all of the attention will be drawn to mainly Luigi, Daisy, and the wedding officiant, Chrom...but whatever floats Sonic's boat.

"Everyone is all set to go!" Isabelle notified Master Hand after exiting the Smash Mansion. "All the brawlers are waiting in the foyer...except for Pit, that is. He's taking a shower, and he's singing some Kool & the Gang song, very loudly and out-of-tune. I tried calling out to him, but I don't think he could hear me..."

"Kid has-a wings, he can fly to the wedding," assured Mario. "I've given everyone-a directions to the wedding venue, for emergency reasons. As long-a as Pit has the directions..."

"Mario, you DO realize-a who we are talking about," Luigi told his brother. "You honestly believe-a Pit will remember to bring-a the directions with him?" Who knows, Pit might have lost the directions earlier this week.

"Maybe he-a will, maybe he won't - wedding doesn't-a start until around four o'clock, I can just-a text him the directions so he-a won't be lost."

Soon six limousines pulled up to the Smash Mansion. These limousines had a golden tint to it, and that's how Master Hand likes it. Dude must have a fancy for gold.

"About time the limousines arrived!" exclaimed Master Hand. "Isabelle, alert the others and tell them that our rides are here!"


Inside the shower, Pit was busy washing himself and singing Kool and the Gang's "Get Down On It" at the same time. It must take some superb dedication to wash and sing at the same time, not that many people on this earth of performing such prowess.

"Ah, I feel so fresh!" the angel exclaimed after turning the water off. He got out of the shower, dried himself off, and wrapped his towel around his waist, before exiting the bathroom...

...only to see that nobody was present in the mansion. Not a single soul to be found, not a single sound made. This made Pit very panicky.

"Viridi? Lady Palutena? Kirby?!" the angel called out each individual name, hoping to get a response. But not a single voice was heard. Sorry Pit, but you dun goofed up kiddo.

Pit: I just can't believe it...everyone left me, even Master Hand...they must not love me anymore! Lady Palutena? Probably making Dark Pit her new packmule. Viridi? I would assume she was using me just to make her true boyfriend, Toon Link, overly jealous. And Kirby? Eh, he's pretty loyal, so he gets a free pass.

Pit immediately went to his room, put on his suit, and ran out the new front door (which Sonic is very displeased with). He looked left and right, expecting a brawler or two to be outside chilling, but his intentions were wrong. So he knew what he had to do...

"I know, I should call them and see if they had left already!" Pit said, pulling out his cell phone. Perhaps the first time in a long while he came up with a great idea. He went to go dial Kirby's number...but then he realized that Kirby doesn't even own a cell phone, and even if he did, he would eat it like it's the most delicious cheese cake in existence. So the angel decided to call Pac-Man instead. He would call Viridi, but he didn't because Viridi doesn't even own a cell phone. Pit was this close to dialing her nonexistent phone number.

"Hey Pit, what's up?" Pac-Man's voice was heard from the cell phone, and boy was Pit relieved to hear the yellow man's voice.

"Pac-Man, it's absolutely terrible, nobody is present at the mansion, and I'm left all alone! I think everyone except you I assume died from some sort of virus that plagued everyone was getting ready, and somehow I didn't get the virus! Man I feel so left out right now..."

"Pit you silly goose, nobody caught some virus and died or anything!" Pac-Man chuckled at Pit's insanity. He has heard plenty of extravagant and over-the-top stories from the angel, but this one, though short, definitely takes the cake. "We all left without you! Viridi tried to call out to you while you were taking your shower, and Isabelle did the same a while later, but since you couldn't hear, you didn't respond. We would have waited for you to finish and get dressed, but Master Hand couldn't afford to wait around any longer.

"Do you have the directions to the Olympic Sculpture Park that Mario handed out to you?" asked Pac-Man. If Pit doesn't have those directions...then screwed wouldn't begin to describe the angel's situation. But fortunately...

"I sure do!" Pit pulled the directions out of his pocket. Only thing that matters as of right now is whether or not he uses them correctly.

"Whew, at least you have them in your possession. Just follow those directions, and you should be at the park in no time! See ya later!"

Pit: So Pac-Man and Viridi are supposedly still alive...and everyone else is dead! If they hadn't died from a virus, then what else could have killed them?!


Pac-Man promptly ended his phone call with Pit, and went back to relaxing in the limousine he's riding in. Riding along with Pac-Man is Ashley, Toad, Yoshi, Lucina, Chrom, Isabelle, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Meta Knight, Wii Fit Trainer, R.O.B, Mr. Game and Watch, Lloyd Irving, and Mega Man.

"Pit should be on his way to the Olympic Sculpture Park!" Pac-Man announced to everyone. "Considering he reads the directions well..."

"Excuse me for asking this Mario, but how much longer until we finally reach our destination?" Chrom asked the plumber, and he was feeling somewhat nervous. You'd figured that a "romantic expert" like Chrom can handle the officiant role with ease, but the poor guy has butterflies in his stomach. His own daughter, Lucina, called him a "lovable dork" for a reason...

"At this-a rate, we should arrive around-a twelve," replied Mario, guesstimating the time. "That should give us enough-a time to set everything up."

"Aw man, I thought those vendors had the place ready for the wedding!" frowned Wario, refusing to do any sort of work that exceeds the extent of lifting a pencil. "I just wanna see Luigi get married and eat some grub! You never told us we have to do work!"

"Well I'm sorry that-a you're a lazy bozo who's too-a lackadaisical to even lift-a up a toilet seat. No one-a else's fault but yours."

Wario: During our wedding meeting, Mario, nor Luigi, nor Isabelle, nor Master Hand, notified us that he have to set up for the wedding! By the time we're done, I'll be too exhausted to even attend the wedding, or participate in the wedding reception! Sometimes I just wish I can sue Mario for the dumb things he puts me through!

Luigi's phone suddenly went off, indicating he just received a text message - it was from his soon-to-be wife, Daisy. He checked said message, and sported a worried look on his face. A groom should not be sporting worried looks prior to their wedding, for it is more than likely a foreshadowing of a dire emergency.

"Daisy just-a texted me that her and-a the other ladies are-a in a traffic jam," announced Luigi. "Hopefully the traffic jam-a doesn't last that long..."

"Traffic jams rarely occur this time of the day," stated Meta Knight. A traffic jam after a nine-to-five shift is pretty commonplace, but one in the late hours of the morning is as rare as finding a Klefki in your kitchen sink. "How many guests did you invite to the wedding?" Luigi started to count with his fingers... "You know what, just forget about it."


One certain limousine is chock full of villains - Bowser, Bowser Jr, the Koopalings, Ganondorf, King Dedede, King K. Rool, Mewtwo, Wolf, Black Knight, Dark Pit, and Proto Man. Yes, you are all presumably thinking, "Proto Man is anti-hero, not a villain, why is he riding along with those baddies?" Long story short, Wario convincingly told Master Hand that he's not a villain, and that he's portrayed as such because he makes "extremely poor decisions". That lousy fatso then added that Proto Man is a bona fide villain, attempting to save face as a villain by doing usual good deeds most anti-heroes perform. Master Hand bought it, and swapped both Wario and Proto Man. Now the poor prototype robot has to endure torture from the mansion's resident villains.

Proto Man: Riding with the baddies doesn't sound as bad as it seems...thankfully Wario isn't with us, the guy is a living stink bomb dying to explode whenver he feels like it. Dark Pit, Black Knight, and Mewtwo are the only tolerable people inside this limo, and the others irritate me to the point where I just want to jump out of the limo and just let it run over me. Knowing the passengers, they would throw me out of the limo anyway if they ever wanted to.

"Bowser, do us all a huge favor and discipline your children," Mewtwo told the Koopa King, as the Koopalings were fighting over a lousy ring pop. Ring pops aren't exactly that popular nowadays, but here are young koopa children and aspiring villains, fighting over one.

"Yeah, well about you discipline them yourself, if they're bothering you so much!" retorted Bowser. Technically, Mewtwo could discipline the Koopalings, but he shouldn't because A) he has very little patience with children, and B) disciplining the Koopalings is Bowser's responsibility.

"The atmosphere here feels so drab, let's play some music!" Rool got up from his seat and walked over to the radio, without the consent of the limo driver.

"Hey man, nobody told you to touch the radio!" the driver scolded the Kremling. Poor guy doesn't even know who he's dealing with...Rool adjusted the knob on the radio, until he found the perfect song...

"Shake it, bake it, booty quake it!" the song blared from the radio. (Kudos if you know where the song originates from.) Everyone in the limousine instantly feared for the worst, as Rool hit center-stage...or rather the center of the limousine where there was a lot of room for him to dance.

Then the unthinkable transpired - the Kremling started shaking his butt, and it greatly disturbed the brawlers. Eventually they'll have nightmares about Rool's butt-shaking for the next week or so.

"Make it stop, make it stop!" pleaded the Black Knight, but it was no use - Rool continued to shake his butt to the song like it was his day job.

"I don't think I can take this..." Mewtwo teleported from the limousine in a snap, leaving his poor fellow brawlers behind. Had they possessed the ability to teleport, they would do so without slight hesitation.

"No, take me with you!" It was too late for the Black Knight, the Psychic Pokemon had left the limo and sought for a place of solace. Best chance scenario is that he teleported to the Olympic Sculpture Park, arriving before everyone else.

Limousine Driver: Don't y'all even ask about why I even have that song on my radio...But since you'll pester me about it, I'll just tell you: I first heard the song on some action show I was watching, and this girl, she was in these white jeans, and she was dancing to the song, and I just found her dancing so...so...mesmerizing, I was literally glued to my television screen. After that song was over, that show soon became the number one show in my book.

There were many varied reactions among the villains riding in the limo. Ganondorf had to look away. King Dedede was literally throwing up in a bag. Dark Pit stuck his head outside the window to get some fresh air. And Lemmy was the only person enjoying Rool's dancing, as evidenced by his crazed smile. They don't call him the most nutty Koopaling for anything!

"Lemmy Koopa, put your tongue back in your mouth and stop smiling like that!" ordered Bowser, proving to Mewtwo that he can discipline his children...though it would be nice if Mewtwo was present in the vehicle.


The third limousine driving to the Olympic Sculpture Park mainly consists of burly and/or tough dudes - Captain Falcon, Jacky Bryant, Akira Yuki, Heihachi Mishima, Ryu, Snake, Cloud, Ike, Knuckles, Little Mac, Doc Louis, Marth (meh), Roy, Fox, Falco, and Wolf. The latter three aren't exactly tough by any sort of standard, but they had to find some limo to ride in.

"Wonder how many ladies Luigi invited to the wedding!" Captain Falcon happilly rubbed his hands together in a creepy, perverted manner. Attending the wedding will give the racer multiple opportunities to ask different women out - on the flipside, however, he won't be that much successful. Can't hurt to at least try!

"Female guests should be the least of your concern!" Ryu frowned, crossing his arms. "The wedding should be about celebrating the lovely union of Luigi and Daisy, not asking out ladies that will turn down your offer to go on a date.

Falco: Captain Falcon and I are starting a partnership together - we're gonna spend most of the wedding and the wedding reception looking for hot girls to ask out!
Captain Falcon: I'll be on the lookout for the female guests when they arrive, and I'll write each individual name down so the two of us can discuss each lady's potential at the reception!
Falco: We've tried our hardest to entice Cloud to join, but apparently the guy wants to remain single forever. Sucks that Sephiroth had to kill his woman and potential girlfriend Aerith; must have been butthurt about not having a girlfriend himself.

"You certainly look down in the dumps today," Ike told Cloud. To be fair, Cloud always looks like that whenever he's happy, depressed or relatively calm. His facial expressions are often the hardest to read.

"I'm just feeling...angsty today," responded the blonde swordsman, inventing a new word to describe his feelings in the process. "Luigi's wedding kinda reminds me of this girl, Aerith Gainsborough; me and her used to be pretty tight. In fact, we were even romantically entwined at one point, and I had a sneaky feeling she was gonna ask me out sooner or later. I would have asked her out myself, but I couldn't build up enough courage to do so. Before Aerith could make a move...Sephiroth had to come in and take her life." Cloud shook his head; evidently he's still affected by that infamous event. "I just wanna beat that man to a pulp, make him wish he was..."

"Is this Sephiroth dude your evil brother or something?" This response caused Cloud to look at Ike in astonishment, befuddled by the Radiant Hero's ignorance.

"He's a biologically created human specimen resulting from combining a human fetus and extraterrestrial tissue..." That extraterrestrial tissue belonged to Jenova, an alien lifeform who plotted to take over the planet. Like every other villain that came before her, Jenova's evil plan is the most basic evil plan in the history of villainy.

"Oh, so the human fetus was supposed to be your brother, and for some reason, they injected alien tissue in it to speed up your mother's womb." Ike has never been this ignorant before, what gives?

"He was created in a lab, by scientists...my parents had nothing to do with the experimentation."

"Yikes, so your parents never liked you or your unborn brother?! That really sucks dude..." Honest question; why no mention of Cloud's parents? Sure, the dude has a rather complicated past that requires no more details, but it can't hurt to explore a bit more.

"Whoever said that my parents never liked me? I was just doing my thing, trying to save the world. You practically did the same thing too, and a lesser but similar fashion."

"Yeah I guess you're right..." Ike laid his arms behind his back, and let out a sigh - not a sigh indicating that he's going through some troubling times, but a sigh indicating that he's ready for the wedding to start. Like Cloud, this is the first time the Radiant Hero will be attending a wedding ceremony. It's a first for everyone.


The fourth limousine consists of mainly animals and monsters and whatnot - Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Piakchu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Greninja, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Duck Hunt Dog, Sonic, Tails, the Flying Man, Isabelle, and K.K. Slider. Red the Pokemon trainer was also riding along with these cast of characters, to keep them in check.

Red: Because Pikachu and his Pokemon buddies are technically considered brawlers, they have to attend the wedding, otherwise they won't be allowed outside of the sanctuary. Same rule applies to Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. Dumb rule, I know, but Master Hand is pretty dumb anyways...Please tell me he didn't hear that...

"The cake that was in the ballroom is gonna be at the wedding, right?" Sonic asked Tails. Cake is the hedgehog's favorite food aside from chili dogs - or favorite dessert, rather. Once he implored Mario to bake him a chili dog cake, but the plumber explained to the hedgehog that everyone has to mutually enjoy the cake...so Sonic forced Palutena to make him such cake, and boy it was horrendous.

"Yes, and it's gonna be for everyone, from us brawlers, to the guests," explained Tails. Given that the wedding will have very high attendance, everyone must have their fair share of the delicious wedding cake. It was pretty expensive, so it must be the greatest cake ever created by man. "So that means everyone has to share..."

"Way to be a party pooper Tails! Like I'm gonna share the cake with the guests...they're just there to watch the wedding, and eat up all the food at the reception! They have ulterior motives, I tell you!"

"Ulterior motives that they devised as soon as they accepted a wedding invitation?" Tails raised an eyebrow, questioning Sonic's understanding like he usually does.

"They knew that the wedding would be a perfect time for them to get free food at the wedding reception when the wedding invitations were sent out. Nobody wants to willingly attend Luigi's wedding, that loser is suckitude in human form!"

"Name me at least five of the wedding guests that have these 'ulterior motives' that you speak of." Tails got the hedgehog stumped right here, but Sonic knew how to make the best of the situation.

"I would name these guests, but I really don't feel like flaunting my superior intelligence in front of you. Wouldn't want to break your confidence and self-esteem, buddy!" Sonic patted Tails on the head, and the fox rolled his eyes. Tails, though he's eight years of age, feels he's too old to have people pet his head.


The fifth limousine carrying the brawlers to the wedding venue consists of youngins - Lucas, Ness, Viridi, Villager, the Inklings, Toon Link, Young Link, and Kirby, with Palutena keeping watch over them.

"I refuse to attend the wedding, tell the limo driver to take me back..." sobbed Lucas, tugging onto Palutena's wedding dress. What a crybaby, kids his age shouldn't be fretting over some wedding. And he once claimed that he "toughened up" after tagging along with Red during the Subspace Emissary.

"Everything will be alright Lucas, no one is going to hurt you," Palutena assured the whiny teen (his constant crying will make anyone doubt this dude's maturity) as she stroked his hair. She sure didn't mind Lucas' behavior, but the rest of the passengers, including the driver, don't share the same sentiments.

Palutena: Am I worried about Pit's safety, and whether or not he can make it to the wedding on time? Of course I am. Granted, the wedding should start sometime after four, but Pit will likely be sidetracked in some spectacular fashion. I can never trust him to be a viable delivery boy, he delivers the wrong errands to the wrong people, and I always get the complaints. Is it my fault that Pit lacks common sense to handle tasks efficiently?! I've already had my trials with the boy, and going back to teaching him right from wrong would be a horrible mistake on my part.

"Will Pit make it to the wedding, Lady Palutena?" Viridi asked the goddess of nature. Any wedding without Pit would be a horrible wedding for her; for instance, who would be talk with prior to the wedding, and during the wedding reception? Ashley? Refuses to associate herself with anyone save for her assistant Red. R.O.B? If he was able to speak complete sentences without abrupt pauses, then sure. Red the Pokemon Trainer? Like anyone wants to hear that man boast about the meager amount of Pokemon he catched...the tagline of the entire Pokemon series is "Gotta Catch 'Em All!" (although this tagline has been slightly downplayed in recent years), and the most notable average Pokemon trainer aside from Ash Ketchum is not following along to it. Then again, neither is Ash.

"Honestly Viridi, I'm not so sure about that," replied Palutena, being frank and modest in her response. She knows Pit better than anyone, she knows the angel's limitations. "But we can only hope that he can..."

"Sorry if I interrupt, but I think Pit should be banned from the wedding," interjected Villager, wearing a cone around his neck. Wii Fit Trainer did her best to cure Villager and whip him up back to shape for the wedding, and she could only do so much for the young lad. Villager's recovery was not a hundred percent, and it showed with the cone that is taking up most of his face. In fact, the poor little guy can't even see! "I was just showing Kirby my cool stuff, and that's when I got knocked out! Before I sustained that head injury, I heard Pit's voice - perhaps he's the one who injured me in the first place!"

"Let's not jump to conclusions now Villager, Pit may be very reckless from time to time, but he wouldn't dare to put a fellow brawlers health in danger, especially a week before an important day like this! And Kirby knows this better than anyone!"

Kirby smiled nervously when Palutena mentioned his name. Wii Fit Trainer may have cleared Pit's name before the angel could get in trouble for the treacherous act he did to Villager, but if the angel is fully wronged for his actions, then the consequences definitely won't be pretty.


The sixth and final limousine features a rather odd cast of characters - Link, Olimar, Alph, Samus, Corrin, Robin, Mega Man X, Zero, .EXE, Takamaru, Bayonetta, Geno, Nana, Popo, Gil, Shulk, and Dunban are all riding in the limousine together. More likely than not cast together due to lack of categorization, just like the first limousine.

"Even at a wedding you still choose to wear your parkas," X shook his head in shame at the Ice Climbers. The robot has no room to talk - he's only wearing a bowtie, just like the other robots. Certainly they could have painted their bodies in black in white, or anything like that.

Popo: We have decided to wear our parkas to the wedding for two reasons. First reason being that the suit and dress that compliments me and Nana's sizes respectively were out of our price range.
Nana: The other reason was that Sonic kept annoying us about breaking wedding dress codes, and wearing whatever we want to wedding ceremonies. As if he can be any more annoying...
Popo: No worries Nana, he has yet to perform his worst...and I'm getting the chills just thinking about it.

"Me excited for wedding!" exclaimed Takamaru. If he uses his Engrish at the wedding...Mario might as well keep the samurai away from the guests. "Who else excited for wonderful wedding?"

"I'm certainly not..." grumbled Samus, resting her chin on her palm as she looked out the window in disgust. Had she not been forced to attend the wedding just like the rest of the brawlers, the space bounty hunter would have been either working in the workshop on some new gadget, sulking about how her life sucks at the mansion, or maybe even both. She's not exactly a stickler on romantic things, never did she care for any man residing in the Smash Mansion.

"C'mon Samus, you don't have to be so grumpy," Link did his best to cheer up Samus, but his best may be his ultimate worst. "This wedding might be a fun experience for all of us!"

"Much agreed, I'm really looking forward to it!" exclaimed Shulk, pumping his fist in the air like he scored a game-winning goal in a soccer game. There are some things in life that aren't worthy of a fist pump, and Shulk just proved it.


The limousines finally arrived at the wedding site, Olympic Sculpture Park, and the brawlers got out of said limousines. Mario and company's limousine released some toxic fumes when the door opened, and the passengers exited the limo, coughing and gagging from the horrid stench.

"Can't...breathe..." Mega Man wheezed as he fell out of the limousine and collapsed on the ground. The fumes were strong enough to infiltrate the robot's system core, and wreck a huge majority of his inner body systems. Of course, there is one culprit for these toxic fumes, starting to contaminate the air...and his name starts with a W.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" Wario frowned at the brawlers who were all displeased with the fatso's actions. Wario has transpired plenty of flatulent moments, and he may have provided his best - and most fowl - one yet.

Wario: *chuckling nervously* Eating the enchiladas Meta Knight baked for lunch last night wasn't such a great idea on my part...

Meta Knight: I had a very glut feeling Wario would have eaten my enchiladas, temptation is that man's worst enemy. For emergency reasons, I baked another batch of enchiladas just in case. *holds up a plate of enchiladas* Here's one down the hatch! *brings enchilada to his mouth, only for the mask to get in the way* Ugh, I definitely should have thought this one through...

"About time you all made it," said Mewtwo, who was looking at the brawlers with his arms folded. The Psychic Pokemon was floating in the air, scanning the brawlers' wedding attire. Some brawlers were dressed to perfection (i.e. Mario and Luigi), while others look completely out of the occasion (i.e. Sonic).

"Hey Mewtwo, why'd you teleport here so early?" asked Lloyd, believing that Mewtwo is cheating at life because of his ability to teleport at will.

"Rool was performing some horrendous dance moves in the limousine, and I had no choice but to teleport to salvage my eyes. Fortunately for me, I teleported before I could become scarred for life, just like my riding companions."

"Never again..." shuddered Dark Pit, who will now receive some painful memories of Rool's dancing that will remain intact in his head for an insurmountable period of time.

"I see you already set up the chairs and everything," Ness analyzed as he looked out across and saw the wedding scene before him; hundreds of chairs were set up, with an ample amount of room for everyone to walk through. An organ and a guitar set was set up, mainly for K.K. Slider to use.

"Those vendors were absolutely no help for I. Only able to carry four folding chairs at a time...give me a break."

"Some people can't carry that many chairs to begin with..." stated Diddy Kong. "I certainly know I can't!" That much is true, but Donkey Kong can carry a dozen chairs like they're dumbbells. That monkey is always putting his nephew to shame.

"That's only because your species is like that of humans - weak and nimble, especially compared to mighty powers like myself. But who am I to judge? Today is not the day for such things, we have plenty of things on our agenda before we can..."

Suddenly Luigi's phone started ringing, and the plumber took his cell phone out of his pocket, seeing that it was his fiancee Daisy. When your fiancee is calling you, you oughta answer that cell phone right away!

"Excuse-a me everyone, I gotta take-a this, Daisy's calling me," Luigi notified the others as he answered the phone and walked away to find the perfect spot to speak with Daisy without interruption. A few seconds later, Mario got a text message, and the plumber saw that it was from Waluigi. He read the text in full, and looked a bit disappointed. What appears to be the problem?

"Just got a text-a from Waluigi, he said-a he overslept since he set his alarm-a clock to 8:30 P.M. by accident, and that he has-a some cold symptoms," explained Mario. "So sadly he won't-a be attending the wedding, and Doc Louis will-a have to replace him..."

"Aw man, that must really suck..." Roy shook his head in despair, doing his best to feign his depressed reaction to Mario, just like what his fellow brawlers are doing.

Roy: Waluigi won't be anywhere near the wedding! Best, day, EVER! *pumps his fists in the air*

Bayonetta: This wedding just got a whole lot more cheeky with that lanky fool Waluigi being too sickened to attend! His immune system has struck a major deal of justice!

Wario: Of course my partner-in-crime can't let his illness prevent him from witnessing the wedding ceremony! Which is why I'm planning on streaming the entire wedding on my trusty laptop, so I can edit it and all that good stuff...They do allow you to use laptops at the wedding, right? I mean, you can use a flipping iPhone to take pictures...perhaps I should speak with Sonic about this issue.

"Look everyone, I understand that-a you're all upset about-a Waluigi's condition and his absence-a at the wedding," Mario told the brawlers, humorously unable to see through their facades. Their depressed visages are working to perfection. "But look-a on the bright side, Doc is now the bridesman!"

"Will I still be allowed to eat chocolate as I walk down the aisle?" asked the boxing trainer; Mario gave him a resounding thumbs up.

"Guys, I'm afraid-a we have some bad-a news..." Luigi emerged, sporting a facial expression displaying much worry. "Peach's car broke-a down, and the ladies may not-a make it to the wedding on-a time..."

"So does that mean that the wedding will be temporarily cancelled, given they don't make it?" asked a worried Wii Fit Trainer. Samus wasn't so worried - her eyes widened with joy, knowing that she can return to the Smash Mansion and not attend the wedding that she doesn't give a single crap about.

"If the car-a situation doesn't get resolved-a in time, I'm afraid that may-a be the case..." Luigi held his head in sadness. Seemed like everything was going his way today (minus the Wario passing gas in the limousine part) and now it's all crashing down...an individual like Luigi shouldn't deserve this.

"Don't be so down Luigi, the wedding cake is available, so we can just eat that!" comforted Bowser, walking towards the Luigi and giving him a pat on his back.

"Yeah, Bowser's right, we can't have the cake go to waste, somebody's gotta eat it!" Sonic joined in on the Koopa King's shenanigans. Look at the one who's devising an ulterior motive...

"The wedding cake should be the very least of our concerns," stated Captain Falcon, trying to be the voice of reason. "What we should be most concerned about, is how many hot babes will show up at the wedding!" Hoo boy, this might take a turn for the worst...

"What's up with you and hot women, they're the only thing you ever think about," said Ike. "Why won't you just accept the fact that you'll remain single forever for the rest of your miserable life?"

"Says the guy who claims he has friends, even though we never seen them before," interjected Lucario, joining in on the fray.

"Shut your mouth, you loner, you never even had friends to begin with!" retorted Geno, ensuing an all-out argument between him, Ike, Lucario, Captain Falcon, Bowser, and Sonic. This argument continued to last, until...

"ENOUGH!" a majestic voice boomed, catching the brawlers off guard. Soon enough, Master Hand appeared, and he brought along a good friend of his...Crazy Hand. "Bickering with one another before the wedding...if I only could shake my head or facepalm, just for moments like those...anyways, for those of you who may not be familiar, I would like for you to meet my best friend and undisputed thumb war champion, Crazy Hand!"

"Muahahahaha!" Crazy Hand laughed manically, staying faithful and true to his name. "Things are about to get a bit CRAZY up in here!"

Crazy Hand: I just LOVE spending time with the brawlers, even though I RARELY get to spend any time with them! DEEP down inside, I know they're SICK and TIRED of having to put up with that loon Master Hand ALL DAY LONG, and they long to see me again! Well consider their wishes GRANTED!

"Please tell me he's not going to hurt us..." worried Corrin, suddenly fearing for his livelihood. He could tell by Crazy Hand's erratic hand movement - just the way he moves his fingers like a madman may be unnerving to some - that the hand is more intimidating than he looks.

"Silly Corrin, Crazy Hand won't harm you...at least for today, that is," assured Master Hand, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that everyone's here, we can take some wedding pictures in this lovely park!"

"Um, Master Hand...Daisy and-a the others haven't made it here-a yet," informed Luigi. "Peach's car broke-a down, and she..."

"Peach's car broke down again?!" Apparently this wasn't the first time such an instance occurred. "Did I not tell that woman to get her car check prior to the wedding, as an emergency precaution? Does she not realize how much I...I meant, we, want to take pictures of Luigi and Daisy and hang them on our walls for our pleasure and enjoyment?!"

"Why are you including us in this?" questioned Little Mac. "We're not creepers like you." Only someone like Master Hand would post pictures of a newly married couple on his wall, and just...look at them. Sounds more creepy than it should sound.

"You don't know what you'll be missing out on...eh, we can wing it without having Daisy, Peach, Rosalina, and Zelda to take pictures with. King Dedede, is your camera ready?"

"Sure hope so..." the penguin chuckled nervously, pulling out his camera bag.


After grabbing a bite to eat to hold them over until the start of the wedding, Master Hand and the brawlers gathered near a lake at the Olympic Sculpture Park to take some wedding photos, while Daisy and company make it to the venue. Lakes are the perfect place to take pictures, and also the most cliche. But whatever makes for a great wedding photo...

King Dedede had his camera all ready to take wedding photos, except there was only one problem...the battery of the camera was running low. Many of the brawlers were glaring down the king, who smiled innocently to disparage his guiltiness.

"Rool made me take pictures of him dancing in the limousine," King Dedede fessed up. "There was no talking him out of it." All the glares were now directed at Rool, who threw his arms up in the air, as a way of saying "What did I do?".

King K. Rool: Dedede's fault for even bringing a camera to the wedding. Everyone knows snapping photos on your cell phone is the most proficient photo-taking method these days, at least according to millennials. I was just making Dedede pay for his actions. Marth and Luigi were the ones who put Dedede put to it, so I'll make sure they pay as well.

"NO NEED TO FEAR...I'M HERE TO SAVE THE DAY..." R.O.B reached down to the lower part of his robot body, and pulled a piece of it off, revealing an electrica outlet. Who knew the robot would be so handy? King Dedede set up the camera stand, and plugged up the camera to the outlet.

"Why can't you do stuff like that?" Akira nudged Mega Man, who brushed the kung fu fighter's elbow away.

"Not every robot works the same," responded Mega Man. "As far as I'm concerned, R.O.B is just showing off."

"Someone's jealous..." Akira chanted in a joking tone, prompting Mega Man to groan in frustration. To be fair, Mega Man does have a feature that relates to electrical outlets - he uses a Plug Ball as a weapon! Well, it's not entirely related to electrical outlets, but the weapon is owned by Plug Man, who can easily stick his head inside any outlet...if there was one suitable for his size.

"Alright now, who wants to go first?" Master Hand asked the brawlers. No one bothered to raise their hand, and you know exactly what that means... "Time to call random brawlers then! Mario and Luigi, you're up first!"

"It would-a be us..." Mario grumbled as he and his brother walked up in front of the camera. He and Luigi both made a goofy smile - this kind of smile helps the two get off some steam prior to the wedding

"At the count of three, say cheese!" directed King Dedede, squinting his left eye while his right eye looked into the lens. "One...two...three!"

"Cheeeeese!" Mario and Luigi exclaimed simultaneously without moving their mouths. King Dedede snapped the picture, and scrolled through the library to find the image...only to be displeased by what he saw in the background.

"Sonic you idiot, why are you photobombing?!" the penguin scolded the hedgehog, who was walking away innocently like he did nothing wrong.

"Just trying to spruce up the wedding photos!" replied Sonic. In the photo with Mario and Luigi, Sonic was seen pretending to choke himself to death, with his eyes bulged out and his tongue out of his mouth. Let's hope that photo doesn't wind up in a wedding scrapbook...

For the next hour, King Dedede would snap wedding photos of the brawlers, such as Lucina and Chrom, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, Olimar and Alph, the entire Pokemon squad, and many others. And Sonic would photobomb in each photo taken, doing ridiculous things such as planking, playing an imaginary saxophone, making silly faces, and butt slapping. (Yup, those photos are definitely tainted now...) To say King Dedede is disgruntled with Sonic's actions would be an understatement.

Sonic: Photobombing is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated aspects of picture taking. Suppose for instance, you have a lousy couple, and they're taking romantic pictures in a park, when all of a sudden...BLAM! A random guy shows up in the background at the last minute and strikes a Power Rangers-esque pose. Thanks to him, the picture went from a boring, ordinary picture to a funny, entertaining one! And that's exactly why I'm photobombing the wedding photos, to lighten them up a bit so people that see the photos won't subject themselves to the same boring crud over and over again. The brawlers may call it an annoying tactic, but I consider it the element of surprise!

Last brawlers to take a photo together was Palutena and Lucas. The young teen was still tugging on to Palutena's wedding dress, like she's supposed to be his mommy. He's essentially fulfilling Pit's role while the angel is away!

"Smile at the camera, Lucas," Palutena said to Lucas in a comforting tone. Lucas mustered whatever courage he had nearly depleted due to his whiny, crybaby self, and looked at the camera, slightly intimidated by how the camera was focusing upon him.

"You ready?" asked King Dedede. Palutena was, but Lucas certainly isn't. "On the count of three...one...two..."

"Lady Palutena, I finally made it!"

Up in the skies was Palutena's faithful lapdog Pit, carrying a bag of McDonald's in his hand. He was flying towards the goddess of light; King Dedede shrieked as he ran away. Pit would crash into Lucas, and the two would be sent splashing into the water. Way to get your tuxedos soaking wet, boys!

"Not cool, man!" Lucas frowned, splashing water in Pit's face. It's safe to say Lucas is no longer a sobbing scaredy cat now.

"Hey man, watch it!" Pit responded back by splashing some water in Lucas' face. Unlike the blonde teen, Pit is actually enjoying this whole splashing-water-in-people's-faces thing, though it could be due to his childlike charm that makes him so darn lovable (if not for his intelligence).

"Pit, I'm so happy to see you!" Viridi happily jumped into the lake and swam over to Pit, hugging him. "My time spent without you was insufferable!" She then proceeded to kiss Pit multiple times on the cheek, and the angel felt quite embarrassed.

"So you weren't using me just to get closer to Toon Link?" Pit asked the goddess of nature; Viridi was particularly dumbfounded by Pit's question.

"Absolutely not, Toon Link may be cute and all, but he's nothing compared to the likes of you!" Toon Link looked down at the ground and rubbed his arm in despair when Viridi said this. Keep yer chin up Toon, you'll get a girl that'll appreciate your looks soon.

"Do tell me you have a weapon that can blow dry Pit's and Lucas' tuxedos," Palutena said to Mega Man.

"I'm one step ahead of ya..." grinned the robot.


Once the photo taking session commenced, it was now time to let the guests in. The brawlers already taken their seats, and Cloud and Marth were standing at the entrance-way to greet the guests and hand them a wedding program.

"I see what you're doing here Cloud, you're checking out the female guests so you can determine which lady is the right fit for you!" Fox said to the blonde swordsman. Cloud could only scoff at what Fox just said, looking for potential girlfriends is the least of his worries. "It's never too late to join Captain Falcon and Falco in their escapades!" Fox then returned to his seat.

Cloud: There was only one woman in my life that I actually cared about from a romantic standpoint, and her name was Aerith. Sure, Tifa was always there, looking out for me and such, but Aerith...she was the only person I ever had personal feelings for. And since she's gone, my life now has an empty void that has yet to be fulfilled...

"You ready?" Marth asked Cloud as a line of guests was making their way towards the swordsmen. Neither of them expected this many guests to attend one wedding, but considering it's Luigi and Daisy getting married...

"Ready as I'll ever be," Cloud responded with a smile, getting the wedding programs ready. The first guest to greet Cloud was Professor E. Gadd, the wacky scientist who helped Luigi conquer his fear of ghosts...or at the very least attempted to.

"Professor E. Gadd, pleasure to meet you!" E. Gadd held out his hand, and Cloud shook it. The scientist's English is muffled with some rather ambiguous gibberish, but fortunately it's not ambiguous to the point where you can't understand what the man is saying.

"Likewise," replied Cloud, handing E. Gadd a wedding program. "Hope you enjoy the wedding." E. Gadd nodded and went to go find his seat.

The first guest to greet Marth was Dr. Light, who was accompanied by Roll. The two took their seats...and frankly Sonic was sitting a row up ahead of them.

"Sup Dr. Light, sup Roll!" Sonic turned behind him and greeted the two. "So Dr. Light, when is your girlfriend gonna show up?"

"Girlfriend?" Dr. Light raised an eyebrow before bursting into laughter. At his age, it's too late for Dr. Light to search for a significant other. "Silly boy, I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon!"

"So you're gonna live the rest of your life single, living with a robot you claim to be your daughter?" Sonic shook his head in dismay. "What a way to go, man..."

"Hi Sonic!" a certain girly voice called out from afar. Sonic instantly feared for the worst when he saw Amy Rose, adorned in an elegant wedding dress, waving towards him. Sonic's fears are coming back to him, and at the worst time.

"Hide me!" the hedgehog told Knuckles, the awesome echidna sitting next to him, as he hid underneath his chair. Knuckles could only smirk, for he found Sonic's irrational fear of Amy's yandere tendencies very humorous.

"Can't wait to see you two smooching at the wedding reception," the echidna joked around with his best friend. A familiar bat took an empty seat next to Knuckles; the echidna turned to his side and was shocked to see who it was. "Rouge what are you doing here?!" Indeed, Knuckles' love interest, Rouge the Bat, is one of the many wedding guests.

"Attending a wedding like any other good civilian would do," smiled Rouge, who was wearing a slightly seductive wedding dress, staying true to her nature. "Remind me to tell Luigi thank you for inviting me to this lovely wedding, certainly it will be a blast..."

Knuckles: Luigi just HAD to invite Rouge to the wedding! GRRAAAH!...Well on the bright side, she ain't bad like Amy is, so I guess that's a positive.

Guests continued to file in and take their seats while Marth and Cloud continued to greet more and more guests. In addition to E. Gadd, Amy, and Rouge, the guest list was pretty long - Toadsworth, King Boo, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, Azura (from Fire Emblem), Knuckle Joe, the entire Star Wolf crew, Krystal, Madeline Bergman, Magnus, Phosphora, Fiora, Reyn, Bald Bull, Meryl Silverburgh, Silver the Hedgehog, the Chaotix trio, Dr. Eggman, Big the Cat, Chun-li, Rayman, Globox, Barbara (both from the Rayman series), Shovel Knight, Luka Redgrave, Jeanne (Bayonetta), Tifa Lockhart, Barret, Yuffie, and Vincent Valentine were ALL invited. Great googly moogly (kudos if you got the reference) doesn't even begin to describe the star power and absurd amount of guests.

"I gotta admit, you look really handsome in that suit!" Tifa, one of the last guest to come, told Cloud as she pinched the swordsman's cheek, and boy was that embarrassing for Cloud.

"Please don't pinch my cheek in front of everyone..." he begged. He had a blank stare the whole time he was greeting guests, which made them question whether or not he cared about the wedding.

"Aw, come on, no one was looking! Oh, and by the way, one more person is coming. That blank stare of yours is gonna change in an instant!"

Cloud simply rolled his eyes as Tifa grabbed her a wedding program and found her seat. Then all of a sudden, Cloud's heart came to an immediate stop as the final guest made their way up the steps. This guest had long light brown hair, plaited with a long pink ribbon, with segmented braids framing her lovely face. The guest wore a white and pink wedding dress, which actually complemented the color of her emerald eyes very well. Cloud could only say the name of this wedding guest, and he knew exactly who it was...

...Aerith Gainsborough.

"Missed me?" Aerith smiled at Cloud, who was clearly at a loss for words. To think that Sephiroth had killed Aerith, and here she is, alive and well...how is this even possible?!

"B-But how?" Cloud finally uttered some words as Aerith walked up to him and embraced him. A tear was running down Cloud's face, and suddenly he burst out crying - although his emotional breakdown was rather silent, for his tears were of supreme happiness. Aerith was there to console him.

"Don't you remember when you and Sephiroth were fighting each other, and disappeared afterwards? I've been anticipating the day you would return...but it seems like my wait is finally over."

Marth watched as Aerith was consoling a rather emotional Cloud, and smiled. The man who sulked about life, and displayed apathy towards pretty much anyone was now in tears.

Marth: Long story short...Luigi really wanted to invite Aerith Gainsborough to the wedding, and so Master Hand sent me to an alternate universe to retrieve Aerith. (Bringing this universe's Aerith back from the dead takes too much work, and it's very big of a risk.) The universe I was sent to was horrible - everywhere I went, someone was offering me sea-salt ice cream. (The people in the universe have no good taste whatsoever.) In actuality, Luigi doesn't really know Aerith like that, but he just wanted to see Cloud happy - and I think he accomplished just that.

"Woah, Cloud, never seen you in tears like this before!" Barret, Cloud's trusty companion, approached the swordsman and saw him in tears. He was never used to Cloud showing that much emotion, so this was a bit of a new, riveting experience for him. "Once you're done with the whole waterworks and all, Mario wants to speak with you for a quick minute. Says he wants to make you a late-minute groomsman!"

"Late-minute groomsman?" Aerith raised an eyebrow at Barret, not fully comprehending this concept. Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario were already decided to be the groomsmen, but evidently Mario (and/or Master Hand) felt like adding a few more.

"Just follow me to the building, Mario will explain everything that you need to know."


Cloud, Aerith, and Barret gathered with Mario, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand inside a building, discussing the wedding procession. Also present were the three original groomsmen - Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario - and Toad, Samus, Madeline Bergman, Sonic, Amy, Fox, Falco, Link, Isabelle, Marth, Ganondorf, Pit, Viridi, Palutena, Villager, Tails, Bayonetta, Luka Redgrave, Little Mac, Doc Louis, Snake, Shulk, Fiora, Mega Man X, Zero, Jacky, Akira, Rayman, and Barbara.

"As some of you may or may not know, Daisy, Peach, Rosalina, and Zelda aren't here yet due to car troubles," explained Isabelle. "In addition, Fox and Falco wish to recreate the JK wedding dance during the wedding procession, since it would "liven up" the ceremony."

"A just kidding wedding dance?" questioned Snake, after taking the "JK" out of context. "How is that gonna work?"

"No, no, JK is just the abbreviation for Jill and Kevin, the couple who originated the wedding dance!"

"...And what do 'Jill and Kevin' have to do with this wedding?" When you suffer from accelerated age, you often become unfamiliarized with viral videos, whether they be old or new. Most old geezers feel that way.

"Point-a of the matter is, we need as-a many groomsmen and bridesmaids as possible for the dance-a to work!" Mario spoke up. Three groomsmen and three bridesmaids (who haven't even arrived yet) simply won't do. "So all of you are-a going to participate, one-a way or another!"

Rayman: I've seen and re-watched the JK wedding dance plenty of times before, but never would I imagine having a chance to participate in such a dance, and at Luigi's wedding nonetheless! A dream come true!
Barbara: Can we use weapons in this dance? *pulls out her battle axe*
Rayman: No Barbara, no weapons are allowed. We're here to dance like there's no tomorrow, not hurt the wedding guests.
Barbara: *holds head in sadness as she puts her battle axe back*

Sonic: *eyes, closed, hands clasped together, as if he was prying* Please don't pair me up with Amy, please don't pair me up with Amy, please don't pair me up with Amy...

"Alright, let's get this over with," Master Hand said, clearing his nonexistent throat. "Link, Rayman, Pit, Luka Redgrave, Little Mac, Jacky Akira, X, Zero, Fox, Falco, Cloud, Barret, Marth, Ganondorf, Sonic, Snake, and Toad, you're all serving as groomsmen. Fiora, Bayonetta, Isabelle, Amy, Aerith, Samus, Madeline, and Palutena shall be the bridesmaids. Mario will maintain his role as the best man, and Doc Louis will maintain his role as the bridesman."

"Totally did not agree to this, especially as a wedding guest," Luka whispered to Fiora, one of the few faces he recognized in this meeting. Luka is not that much of a dancer, he'll probably just do the robot as he makes his way down the aisle.

"I'm sure you'll do just fine," assured Fiora. She wasn't feeling the wedding dance that much either, but she'll make the best of her opportunity.

"All we have to do now is wait for Daisy and the others to make it," announced Master Hand. The wait would eventually come to a end when...

"You guys didn't start the wedding without me, didn't you?"

Much to everyone's surprise, Daisy showed up in her wonderful wedding dress, flanked by Zelda, Peach, and Rosalina. Luigi couldn't help but smile as Daisy ran up to Luigi, who embraced her in his arms. Link would embrace with Zelda, Mario did the same with Peach, and Ganondorf...had a rather awkward reunion with Rosalina. They'd promised to keep their relationship on hold.

"What-a happened to your car?" Mario asked Peach, just as intrigued with the situation as everyone else was.

"I was just driving the car until the fuse went out," explained Peach. "We were left stranded on a highway for an awfully long time!"

"Fortunately Shadow the Hedgehog drove by in his motorcycle, and when he saw us, he stopped his vehicle and replaced the fuse," added Zelda. "He was quite the gentleman...for that one moment at least."

"I don't understand what happened, I checked the fuse last night before I went to bed..." Peach shook her head, wondering how the situation came to be. She had checked it at midnight, and later in the morning to ensure that the fuse was okay.

"It was MY doing!" exclaimed Crazy Hand. "Master Hand wanted to KEEP Luigi and Daisy away, so I SNEAKED to the mansion unknowingly and SABOTAGED the fuse, just to please Master Hand!" As a result of his confession, Crazy Hand received glares from everyone. "Did I do GREAT, Master Hand?"

"If nearly sabotaging the wedding counts as doing great, then so be it..." groaned Master Hand, regretting inviting Crazy Hand to the wedding in the first place. He should have known better than to invite that dude - or hand, lunatics like him are predictable to the nth degree.

Master Hand: My sole reason for inviting Crazy Hand is that he's incredibly lonely, and doesn't get out that much. Only time he ever gets out is to berate the bratty schoolchildren that spray graffiti all over his house...I tell you, Crazy Hand lives in a very rough place.

"Has Daisy been informed about the JK wedding dance?" Master Hand asked the original bridesmaids; Zelda nodded her head. "Excellent! Seems like it's about time for the ceremony to commence!"


While the groomsmen and bridesmaids awaited in the building, Chrom was standing at the front, sweating like a bucket while K.K. Slider played a wedding theme on an as the officiant in front of so many people has to be nerve-wrecking for the prince of Yliesse, and the fact that it's his first time as an officiant is all the more nerve-wracking.

"You'll do great, father," Lucina assured her father by patting him in his shoulder and kissing him on his cheek, before heading back to her seat. Sitting in Lucina's section was Captain Falcon, on the lookout for girls.

"Tis a great day for the wedding, don't you think so chap?" Shovel Knight asked Falcon, who was looking through his binoculars. A great, useful for girl-searching on the go.

"Leave me alone man, can't you see I'm looking for my future wife?" retorted the racer. He saw Meryl Silverburgh sitting behind a few rows back, looking beautiful as always. "Ooh, I think that Meryl girl noticed me! One step in the right direction!"

"That Meryl girl is married..." Indeed, her husband is Johnny Sasaki, a U.S. army soldier who participated in most of Metal Gear Solid's wonderful incidents. It's more than likely that he's on duty somewhere.

Meryl: Johnny is stationed at the Guantanamo Bay, so he couldn't attend the wedding. I was told to be on the lookout for men who may have forgotten about my marital status (Captain Falcon, for example), so I've got my eyes peeled...

"Everyone, it is time for the wedding to commence!" announced Master Hand, his voice loud enough to silence the crowd. The building's double doors were opened, and standing at the entrance was Fox and Falco; the latter was wearing Big Top on his head.

"Did you seriously paint Big Top black?" Fox asked the avian pilot. Big Top was colored all black, and the hat didn't seem to be fazed one bit.

"Whatever suits my attire," Falco simply shrugged. "You ready for this, Big Top?"

"You bet!" replied the talking hat. Big Top would wink to K.K. Slider, who, after receiving the notion, headed over to the keyboard - conveniently placed next to the organ - and pressed a play button. A eurodance melody blared from the sound system, and then...

"One, two, three, four!" These were the lyrics played out of the sound system as Fox and Falco threw the papers they were holding in their hands up in the air, and started dancing to Chris Brown's song, "Forever", dancing their way down the aisle. (Play the song while you're reading this section if you like, if you wanna get in the mood.) Some of the guests were amused, while others were wondering what the heck was supposed to be happening.

"I did not expect to see this garbage at the wedding..." Shadow frowned as it was Link's and Zelda's turn to dance down the aisle. Afterwards, it was Peach and Samus; Peach gave her dancing some effort, while Samus was just moving her arms about in a way that can pass for dancing.

Next up was Rayman and Barbara. Barbara was swinging her battle axe around (even though she was told by Rayman not to do so), and she swung it so hard that it flew in the air and struck .EXE in the head. Fortunately, it didn't do much damage to him, since his system is still intact and he hasn't lost his sanity..."

"I deserved this..." the robot shook his head as Barret danced his way down the aisle. After him was Mario and Madeline Bergman, Jacky and Akira, X and Zero, Rosalina, and Ganondorf, Cloud and Aerith, Little Mac and Isabelle, Shulk and Dunban, and Bayonetta and Luka. When it was Wario's and Marth's turn to dance down the aisle, Marth shoved Wario out of the way - because he kept getting in the way of the Hero-King - and the poor fatso collided against K.K. Slider's organ.

"My baby..." the hippie dog consoled the organ like it was his precious baby. The wedding dance continued with Donkey Kong and Yoshi, and then Toad, who was holding up a "#KnittingClub" t-shirt, like anyone is gonna join that crap. Sonic and Amy were up next, and when it was their turn...well, let's just say that the two didn't do that much dancing, since Sonic spent most of the time running away from a rather obsessive Amy. The guests found this quite hilarious, seeing Amy's yandere tendencies at full force, even at a wedding.

After Pit and Palutena did their little jig down the aisle, Tails came forth with the rings, with Viridi and Villager behind him throwing flowers about. The fox cautiously walked down the aisle, his eyes darting left and right, trying not to stumble and drop the rings. Once he reached Chrom, he let out a sigh of relief.

Soon Mario, Peach, and the groomsmen and bridesmaids danced down the aisle, all the same time in (im)perfect unity. Pit, Wario, and Toad were terribly off, but that didn't take away from anything about the group dance. Then out of nowhere, Luigi burst through the group, and did a little jig or two, before making dancing his way up to Chrom with the group dancing along after him until they were all at the front. Right when the "Forever" song reached the "I won't let you fall..." bit, the dancers moved their arms about in slow motion, as if they were falling.

And right when the chorus of the song picked up for the last time, Daisy came out of the doors with a broquet in her hands, dancing down the aisle while the bridesman danced along behind her. Luigi would greet his bride at the middle of the aisle, and the two lovebirds locked arms as they walked down the aisle to Chrom, with Doc Louis clapping vigorously. Way to ruin a genuine moment, Doc.

With the groomsmen standing at Luigi's side, and the bridesmaids standing at Daisy's side, it was time for the thing everyone's been dying to see - Daisy and Luigi, married forever. Chrom officiated the ceremony with precision - did a short speech, allowed Luigi and Daisy to perform their vows, had them confess their love to each other, made them put on the wedding rings, and all that good stuff. And once Luigi and Daisy confessed their love for each other, and agreed to take each other as their lawfully wedded husband/wife, the final words kicked it off...

"By the authority vested in me by the State of Washington, I now pronounce you husband and wife," announced Chrom, and it finally happened - Luigi and Daisy kissed, signifying the start of their wonderful marriage. Everyone stood up and clapped for the newlyweds; Mario shed a tear, and Diddy Kong was bawling his eyes out. Many others were getting teary-eyed as well.

What matters the most now, is that Luigi and Daisy, now married, are together forever - in perfect unity.


Chrom: Being the officiant of the wedding...wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I had a few hiccups here and there - for instance, my cellphone went off during the ceremony, haven't found a way to turn that darn thing off, and Lucina refuses to help me - but overall, I didn't do that bad.

Luigi, Daisy, and the wedding guests were guided by the vendor to an outside venue for the cocktail party. Everyone helped themselves to some appetizers, and engaged in some conversation. Sonic was conversing with Reyn, a dear childhood friend of Shulk's.

"Do you ever listen to 'City Escape' from Sonic Adventure 2?" the hedgehog asked the Homs. "City Escape" is one of Sonic's favorite songs, and he is incessantly annoying people about it.

"No, and I don't plan on doing so," replied Reyn, grabbing his appetizers quickly so he can get away from the hedgehog and hang out with his Homs friends.

"Oh really? Then you're an idiot!" Sonic said before blowing his tongue at Reyn at stormed away angrily. Reyn just stood there with a blank face while Sonic went to go speak with his hedgehog friends, Shadow and Silver - although Shadow isn't that much of a friend to anyone. "Any of you guys know when we're gonna eat the cake?"

"We will eat the cake when you decide to stop being an idiot," replied Shadow. Something in his mind told him to attend the wedding, and now the hedgehog is regretting attending in the first place, for a variety of reasons - Sonic, the wedding dance, Sonic, the hot sun warming on his face, Sonic, Cranky Kong breathing heavily behind him...but mostly Sonic.

"Man, that sure sounds like a lot of time. How long do you think that's gonna last?"

"As long as you want it to be..." sighed Silver, starting to share Shadow's sentiments about the wedding...and Sonic.

Silver: Shadow wasn't really feeling the whole wedding ceremony - he didn't like how the groomsmen and bridesmaids were having fun dancing down the aisle. He thinks that they should have been civil and courteous, but then again, Shadow can be a very boring guy, so...What about me marrying Blaze in the future? You want me to do that?! You must be out of your mind!

"Surprised to see you in town," Captain Falcon said to Meryl Silverburgh, leaning his back against a wall. Here comes yet another failed flirting attempt... "How about we go out to eat, while the others tarry at the lovely reception?"

"If I'm going out to eat with anyone, it's Johnny Sasaki, my husband," replied Meryl. This broke Falcon's heart - this whole time, he never knew Meryl was married, and this whole time, he was trying to get closer to Meryl...only for his efforts to end in failure yet again.

"It would be for the best if you just give up," Vincent Valentine approached Captain Falcon, who was whimpering like a baby, and rested his hand on his shoulder. "No point in coming up short every time."

During this cocktail hour, King Dedede was at work, taking wedding photos of the guests with a now fully charged camera. With Sonic not present to photobomb the photos, the penguin's temper was minimal, and kept at ease. One of the photos Dedede took was Cloud and Aerith, standing side-by-side.

"And...BLAM!" King Dedede snapped the photo with his camera. (Who the heck says "BLAM!" when taking a photo?) Cloud and Aerith looked at the final result, and saw bunny-eared fingers above both of their heads.

"Ha, got 'em!" Yuffie popped up behind Cloud and Aerith, wrapping her arms around both of them. Only a playful spirit like her would do such a thing.

"Sonic can be so hard to understand at times, I try to love him, but he doesn't love me back..." Amy Rose spoke with Viridi. A tsundere and a yandere holding a conversation, who would have thunk? "He even tried to run away from me during the wedding dance! What has gotten in to him?"

"Pit used to be like that before we were officially an item," stated Viridi. "No matter what I do to win his heart, that boy keeps running away from me. But eventually he came around, though it took a long while." If Viridi gives Amy any sort of romantic advice, then Sonic better stay clear of the pink hedgehog...a tsundere/yandere mix sounds more hazardous than it sounds.

Elsewhere, Barbara was trying to pry her battle axe out of MegaMan .EXE's head. Rayman and Globox held the robot down as Barbara tried to pull the axe out with all her might.

.EXE: Due to my species as a NetNavi, a living computer program, real-life objects don't hurt me one bit, so Barbara's battle axe didn't do me any real damage. But if someone like threw a tomahawk at my head and it got stuck...then I would have been done for.

"Globox sees a ghost..." the amphibian got scared real quick when King Boo appeared behind Barbara. Its teeth and menacing smile is what creeped Globox out the most. King Boo suddenly opened his mouth wide... "BARBARA WATCH OUT!"

Miracously, Barbara took the battle axe out of .EXE's head and turned around to face King Boo, battle axe in hand. Instead of scaring the living daylights out of Barbara, Rayman, Globox, and .EXE...he hugged the four of them. The wedding is bringing all the love out of the Boo.

"This is so awkward..." Rayman remarked, struggling to get out of King Boo's hold. How did the Boo's puny arms become long enough to hug people?

"Luigi, Daisy, you two lovebirds hit center stage!" exclaimed a vendor, temporarily filling in as a DJ for K.K. Slider. "It's about time for some...slow jams..." The vendor said "slow jams" in a slow tone, as if he was trying to hit on a lady. He would have a stronger chance at snagging one than Captain Falcon, that's for sure. Luigi and Daisy did as they were told, heading to the center of the floor.

"I've always been practicing for this moment..." Luigi told Daisy as he embraced his bride in his loving arms.

"I know you have," smiled Daisy. "Now shut up and dance with me..." Luigi and Daisy locked hands as they did a slow jam in the center, with everyone watching attentively. Some didn't bother watching, and carried on with their conversations, like the Star Wolf crew.

"Did you ever finish the horror movie as a part of our bet?" Panther Caroso asked Wolf. He would have preferred Wolf to walk about in the mansion in yoga pants, for it would be embarrassing on an astronomical level.

"Sure did, got it finished last week," Wolf replied confidently. The pilot is taking a heavy deal of pride in his movie, and his pride is deluding him from the lackadaisical quality of his film.

"Can't wait to see you fail..." Leon Powalksi snarled, rubbing his hands together in an evil way.

Leon: Wolf informed me about his crummy horror movie as he was producing it...he told me about how he had the Lucina chick act like a woman from the inner city...what's more is that she was the last person he had considered to play the part...that bit of information alone makes the film destined for complete failure.

"Everyone follow me to the art museum, it's about that time for dinner!" announced the vendor, leading the guests to the museum. Luigi and Daisy, being the couple of the hour, led the pack.

"Push me to the museum, my stomach is grumbling!" Cranky Kong ordered Dixie Kong, ranting on like the grumpy grandpa he is.

Cranky Kong: Why are my words in bold lettering? And where did the quotation marks go? I refuse to speak under these conditions!

Not everyone went to the museum, however. Cloud, for instance, made his way down to the lake; Aerith saw this, and ran after him. She would eventually find the swordsman sitting by the lake by himself, looking into the distance.

"Hard to believe that you came back..." muttered Cloud, sensing Aerith's presence. His wish of seeing his (presumed) one true love alive again was all that he wanted, and now his wish has been granted (partially).

"What do you mean, I came back?" Aerith smiled, sitting next to Cloud. "I've been waiting and believing that you would come back - and gladly it didn't have to be that way."

"Yeah, well, at least we can finally see each other again," Cloud grabbed a rock, and threw it across the lake, watching as it bounced three times. A personal record set by the blonde swordsman.

"There you guys are!" Link ran up to Cloud and Aerith, accompanied by Krystal. "Tifa has been waiting on you. Thought you might have ran away without telling us."

"They're serving steak at the reception!" exclaimed Krystal. A lot of the guests have some giant appetites, Cloud and Aerith better hurry before all the steaks are gone. "Certainly you can't miss out on that!"

"So are you guys coming or not? Pretty sure Wario or Rool will consume every steak in sight, whether it's theirs or not."

"And what a debacle that would be," Cloud smirked as he got up, and held out his hand to Aerith. "Shall we?" The flower girl was seemingly touched by Cloud's offer.

"I don't see why not," Aerith took Cloud's hand, and got up, staring lovingly into Cloud's eyes. The two walked to the museum holding hands, and Link and Krystal both watched - possibly shipping Cloud and Aerith in their heads.

"About time Cloud gets a girlfriend," grinned Link. "After all the crap he has been through, he really deserves some love in his life..."

"He also deserves a great friend like you," Krystal told the Hylian. "Glad to see that you two are constantly looking out for each other."


The guests were all gathered inside the art museum of the Olympic Sculpture Park, eating their steak dinner and enjoying conversation with one another - except for Ashley, who was bummed out when she had to sit with people, namely the knitting club.

"Care to explain why you're wearing a '#KnittingClub' shirt over your suits?" Azura, who sat at the table with Corrin, asked the members of the knitting club. Ashley was the only member not wearing her shirt, and for a good reason.

"We're trying to represent our wonderful club!" Toad explained cheerfully. "This wedding is a great chance for us to spread exposure!"

Yoshi: Did some recruiting before the wedding, and at the cocktail hour. I've asked a few guests if they wanted to join our club as a distant member - so far, I've asked Mr. Resetti, Rude, and Knuckle Joe if they wanted to join...Knuckle Joe is the very reason why I have this black eye. *points to his blackened left eye*

"Aw, how sweet, you two are finally a couple now!" Phosphora said to Pit and Viridi, both sitting together at a table. A prominent protocol as a couple - you don't want to break your boyfriend's/girlfriend's trust by hanging out with your best buddies at a wedding reception.

"Yup, and nothing can break us apart!" Pit cheesily grinned. Believe it or not, Phosphora had some romantic feelings for Pit, and the angel is very glad that Phosphora never confessed his love for him or anything like that. Pit's just happy he has Viridi as his loving companion.

"Why is everyone at the Smash Mansion in love?" wondered Magnus, also sitting at the table. "It's you guys, then it's Link and Zelda, Mario and Peach...I wouldn't want to live in a place where it's all lovey-dovey, would be too much for me to handle..."

"Excuse me everyone, it's about that time we have the toasts," announced one of the vendors. "Best man is up first!" So Mario was the first to give a toast, and Peach and Marth (the wedding financier) followed afterwards.

Then it was time for the guests to give our their toasts. First up was Dr. Eggman.

"Black Doom and I made a bet a long time ago; he bet $500 that the two of you would never get married! I won! That man better pay up, if he knows what's good for him!"

After Eggman was Mr. Resetti, the mole that will terrorize you for restarting your console system in Super Smash Bros.

"Luigi, Daisy...y'all are both shameful for not inviting your parents! I shake my head at the both of you!" To be fair, nobody has ever seen or talked about their parents...

Next up was Chun-li, an absolute trailblazer for women in video games. Ryu still has a bit of a soft spot for her.

"Just for the record, I hardly know you two that well - Luigi, you only invited me just to make an impression, Marth told me the full details. But I'm glad that you're finally a married man, and I'm hoping Ryu will come around sometime in the future..." Ryu nervously pulled on the collar of his sleeveless suit when Chun-li said this.

Corrin also did a toast...though it wasn't the verbal kind.

"Good thing I came prepared for this..." Corrin literally brought toasted bread to Luigi and Daisy, before a vendor whispered in the prince's ear that he was doing it all wrong. "Oh, you mean a verbal toast? I'll just take my seat then..."

Last to speak was Toadsworth, Peach's steward who sports a very evident English accent.

"They say that birds of a feather flock together. Well, the two of you are the most graceful, odd, beautifully singing birds I've ever met... and I can't wait to see you fly." Toadworth read this off of a note card, which really downgrades the genuine nature of his comments.

Toadsworth: Honestly I didn't have anything original to say, just wanted to say something nice to Luigi and Daisy. I've been dreaming about their marriage since forever...and these are actual dreams, mind you. The dreams I have about Mario and Peach getting married...the details are somewhat explicit, so I'd rather not get into fine details.

Luigi and Daisy rose up so they could do their toasts. And afterwards, the cutting of the cake - Sonic's only incentive for wanting to attend the wedding in the first place.

"Thank-a you everyone for coming out-a here this evening, this day has-a been a real blast," Luigi started things off, less sweatier than usual. Having Daisy at his side must be making him less nervous. "Words cannot explain-a how much I feel, I'm-a so grateful right now..."

"As some of you may know, Luigi is not the most sociable person, or the most brave person...but he really does have a strong heart," added Daisy. "When I sensed that huge heart of his, I instantly knew that we were perfect for each other. And I'm so glad that you all could witness our lovely wedding, this might go down as the best day of both of our lives..."

A great toast deserves a great round of applause, and that's what Luigi and Daisy received from the guests and the vendors. Luigi shed a tear, never has he felt more appreciated in his life.

"Guess that takes care of the toasts," remarked the vendor. "Now we can cut the cake!" The vendors brought out the giant cake, and Sonic's eyes bulged out. He sped towards the cake, and ran face-first into it, resulting in a great deal of laughter from the guests.

"Hehe, serves him right," chuckled Bald Bull, watching as Sonic tried to get the icing off his face and repel Amy from helping him at the same time.

"His nose is always leading him to trouble..." Jeanne smiled, shaking her head. As a fellow Sega character, she knows how Sonic can be at times.

While everyone was eating their cake, or dancing outside in the ballroom next to the museum, Mario and Peach walked up to Luigi and Daisy, who were on their way to the ballroom.

"We're siblings in-a law now," Mario told Daisy. It would take the plumber a short while to get adjusted to this.

"You know it was bound to happen sooner or later," Daisy smiled, playfully punching Mario on his shoulder. Mario is going to have one playful sister-in-law to get used to.

"Us becoming sister-in-laws can happen sooner or later too," Peach told Daisy. "Only when Mario and I finally get married. Isn't that right, Mario?"

"Soon and very soon..." Mario nodded while giving a triumphant thumbs up. Mario and Peach, husband and wife...

Time can't speed itself up for such possibilities to come true, can it?
