The humble jester. A professional in jokes in medieval court

(Red) And if there is anything video games have taught us about them. Its that they are ABSOLUTLY INSANE AND POWER HUNGRY! Like Dimentio, Master of Dimentions

(Geo) And Marx, the Jester of Dreams

(Ender) These two are among some of the most powerful forces in their respective universe. And today we will be seeing who is truly Nintendo's deadliest jester. I'm Ender and they are Red and Geo. And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor, skills, feats and weaknesses to find out who would win A Death Battle.


The world of Super Mario is vast and colorful. But among the colorful plants and living mushrooms sits a trickster

(Red) One of the smartest and most devious villains in Mario History: Dimentio!

"And so I arrive like a sudden wind storm at a kindergarten picnic!"

(Geo) This guy? Dangerous!? But he looks like if Ena went shopping at a medieval castle

(Red) yes but Looks can be deceiving Dimentio make look harmless but he's actually one of the most dangerous villains in the Mario Franchise.

(Ender) Dimentio was a simple jester who one day offered his services to Count Black. At first he was rejected, but after the count had a fated encounter with the Dark Prognostics, he allowed Dimentio to join him in his quest to take over the world

(Red) Exceeeeept Bleck wasn't really that evil. He was just suffering from good ol fashion blue balls. Hehe

(Geo) When Count Black was ready to surrender, Dimentio swooped in and stole the Chaos Heart for himself! Which was his plan all along. Remember that book Bleck read? DIMENTIO WROTE IT HIMSELF! It was all part of his plan to achieve godlike status and erase all worlds, replacing them with "perfect" ones that he would rule

(Ender) And to help him do just that, Dimentio has a wide variety of skills. He can flip between dimensions for a makeshift teleport, create fighting clones of himself, fire off magical blasts from his fingertips, create boxes of condensed magic to trap foes, summon powerful illusions, create explosions with a snap of his fingers, fly, turn invisible and even control minds

(Red) And if he needs a little bit more fire power, he can drag his opponent to his ultimate weapon: DIMENTION D!

(Geo) Dimention D is a dimention created by and ruled by Dimentio. Once he is inside, his power increases 256x

(Red) Buuuuut that power up also applies to his opponent. And we know what you're thinking "What about Super Dimentio!?" Well he needed Luigi in order to achieve that form, and that's considered outside help so no Super Dimentio here

(Ender) Still he was capable of keeping pace with powerhouses such as Paper Mario and Paper Bowser. Who were strong enough to tank the destruction of the Sammer Kingdom, which involved a black hole strong enough to shake alternate timelines! As well as managed to outsmart basically everyone he ever met. However he is not indestructable

(Geo) Even in his strongest form, he was still defeated by Mario and friends and his own powers appear to be limited without a sort of peon by his side. But still, paper based residents beware the chaos Jester - Dimentio

"So shall we get started? Now I have all I need to become the king of all worlds!"

One day, the sun and the moon were in a heated battle that was set to destroy all of popstar

(Geo) That's when Kirby was approached by an innocent little Jester named Marx, who told him the story of Nova, a powerful comet that could grant any wish.

(Red) Toooootally not gonna bite him in the pink butt

(Ender) Kirby set out to summon Nova and when he finally did, Marx appeared and stole the wish for himself

(Red) Who coulda seen THAT coming!

*chaotic laughter*

*cue Vs. Marx

(Ender) As it turns out, it was Marx who tricked the sun and moon into fighting so he could then trick Kirby to summon Nova. And with the comet in front of him, he made his wish to rule all of Popstar

(Red) No longer bound by his need for Kirby, Marx unleashed his true form and power. His main weapon of choice is his jester ball. Which he can kick and make it go boom! Not...sure where he's getting these from...does he have them shoved up his-

(Geo) AAAAANYWAY. Marx has a massive amount of magical power. He can sprout bone like wings to fly, shoot out cutter-like projectiles, fire lasers from his eyes, detach his eyes and fire them around as projectiles, turn his wings into creepy vein things, summon vines out of the ground, teleport, disappear into the ground, *inhale* shoot bombs out of his mouth that can explode into energy blasts and ice, shoot a million arrows out of his face, shoot a massive 'fuck you!' laser from his mouth, and split his body in half TO MAKE A BLACK HOLE! Jesus calm down!

(Ender) He also has a second form in Marx Soul however, just like Super Dimentio, that required energy from Nova itself and therefore cannot be used here.

(Geo) Small he may be, but Marx is a very crazy and dangerous threat. Not only is he capable of keeping pace with Kirby himself, a powerhouse strong enough to survive the destruction of whole planets unscathed, but also has the power to destroy a planet the size of Jupiter! Which requires the power of over 10 QUINTILLIAN NUKES!

(Red) But his insanity can sometimes be a hinderance to him, not thinking ahead when in the middle of battle and despite his power he still couldn't put the puff down for good. But its not all bad. After surviving having Nova explode on him Marx seems to have changed his ways...as long as he gets food

"I got the sun and moon to fight. I got you to go into space... it was all according to my perfect little plan!"

Marx:

Alright the combatants are set. Lets end this debate once and for all

(Geo) Blood will be spilled on the court today!...wait can either of them blee-

(Red) ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BAAAAATTTTTLLLLLEEEEEE


Marx lay on the beach, sipping a milkshake and sighing. 'Its nice to finally be able to relax. No world domination, no-' The ground shakes as his milkshake falls '...someone is dying tonight' He stands up and sees Dimentio appear from a rift in space

"And so I arrive! Like a moth to a lamp store!" He flips "I! AM! DIMENTIO! People of this pitiful world, bow to me and perhaps your lives shall be spared"

"AHAHAHA!" Marx laughs "Bow? To you? Please!" He growls "You killed my milkshake!"

"So? You wish to stand up to me? The master of illusion?" Dimentio laughs "Very well"

Marx sprouts his wings and laughs

"And now I strike! Like a copyright claim on your favorite music video!"

FIGHT!

*cue Battle For The Grand Star

Dimentio takes initiative, flying into the air and firing a magic shuriken at Marx, who flies into the air to dodge. He them summons and kicks a jester ball at the paper jester, who catches it in his hand and chuckles "Did you truly think a child's toy would hurt me?" He laughs as he looks at the ball, then flips it over seeing a lit fuse "...clever" The ball explodes, launching Dimentio upward slightly. Marx teleports behind him and unleashes a volly of arrows into the dimension master's back. Dimentio flips out of the volly, leaving behind a confused Marx. Confusion was soon replaced with pain as Dimentio reappeared, enlarged his fist with magic and slammed the jester of dreams into the sand below. Marx looks up and barfs up sand before growling and using the Flip Ultima to duck into the ground. Dimentio flips down "Your childish tricks do not scare me" He snaps forming a magic barrier on the sand. When Marx tried to fly up, he smashed face first into it. Dimentio makes it vanish and laughs before snapping and sending Marx high into the air with a series of explosions. At the peak Marx dodges the final explosion and rains down seeds. Dimentio flips and spins around, avoiding the falling seeds and laughing...before the seeds sprout vines that ensnare him. Marx flies down with a smug grin "So your a jester AND a gardener now?"

"I have hobbies!" Marx shouts before taking a deep breath and shooting a magic blast at Dimentio, who flipped out of the way. Reappearing, the master of dimensions raises his arms as Marx sees the sandy beach disappear and replaced with a large green room

"Welcome to dimension D, poor little beach ball!" Dimentio laughs as they both feel the power boost.

*cue Revenge of the Enemy

Marx growls as his eyes grow, shooting multiple laser blasts out of them. Dimentio puts massive barriers in front of him, blocking and reflecting the lasers around. He then snaps summoning a massive amount of clones. Marx stops his attack and sees himself surrounded. The Dimenti-clones shoot at him with magic shurikens, to which Marx teleports to dodge. When he reappears he gets trapped inside a magic barrier as 2 Dimenti-clones trigger an explosion inside, making the barrier vanish as one flies above and kicks Marx to the ground. Marx slams off the ground only to get bombarded on either side by Magic Shurikens.

"ENOUGH!" Marx shouts as his wings stretch out into veins, piercing some of the Diment-Clones. However, this attack is cut short when an invisible Dimentio blasts him back with another Magic Shuriken before reappearing. Marx stops in mid air and shouts in anger, charging up power in his mouth. The real Dimentio flips to avoid the attack as the rest of the Dimenti-Clones are evaporated. Marx pants tired as Dimentio reappears

"What's wrong? While you have been unleashing your all, I have been sitting back and preparing my final coup de grace!" He laughs snapping, making more Diment-Clones. Marx growls and turns his eyes black, sending them out to attack the clones before kicking more Jester Balls out. Some clones die while others dodge and trap Marx in another barrier, snapping and causing a series of explosions. Marx shouts as he shoots magic to break the barrier. Dimentio laughs and snaps, causing a small spout to appear on Marx's head "Behold! A Floro Sprout! While you had your way with my beautiful clones, I planed this on you. Now. Your mind is mine!" Dimentio laughs as Marx shakes. Marx then slowly splits in half "Huh?" Dimentio was confused as Marx's pained expression turned to a big grin as his body splits in two, ripping the sprout in half as well and creating a black hole. "WHAT!?" Dimentio shouts as he flips away, while letting the rest of the Dimenti-clones get sucked in. Dimension D falls apart as Marx teleports. Dimentio reappears 'Such power! I must have it for my-GH!' His thoughts were cut off...as well as the lower half of his body as Marx reappeared and shot his Cutter blades at the jester. Marx shoots both ends with hundreds of arrows, riddling both half with holes before shooting his mouth beam and evaporating the lower half. The top half gets sucked into another Black Hole as Marx closes it and lands on the beach. He coughs up a jester hat and chuckles

"That. Was for my milkshake"

K.O!


Marx returns to his seat still bummed but smiles seeing Kirby had arrived with new milkshakes. Meanwhile Dimentio's hat blows away in the wind

(Red) Pretty sure I could feel that from here! We gotta be careful with these dimension hoppers...

(Ender) While Dimentio was the more level headed of the two, Marx's OVERWHELMING power was far to great

(Geo) First, Dimentio has never shown the power to destroy a planet like the one Marx busted. Not to mention Marx's greater variety of attacks

(Red) Dimentio was a tricky son of a bitch but so was Marx. I mean this dude tricked the SUN and MOON to fight! You don't do that if you don't have at least some kind of strategic mind!

(Ender) Marx was also the faster of the two. After destroying the Jupiter-like planet he returned to Popstar in a matter of seconds. Now, the manga never shows how far the planet is but if we were to assume it is as far away from Popstar as Earth is from Jupiter, this means marx would have flown over 553 million miles in a matter of seconds!

(Geo) Durability wise...its debatable. If we scale Dimentio to the Paper Team surviving that exploding world, which shook other dimensions, then it is possible Dimentio has this. However...the paper team actually LEFT that world before it exploded so we are unsure if we can even count it. Scaling the two to the people they fought, Marx also has the clear advantage

(Red) DUDE TOOK BLOW AFTER BLOW FROM KIRBY! The guy who can crack a planet in half with a single punch and hit a meteor with enough force to destroy an entire SOLAR SYSTEM'S worth of planets! Even IF we assume Kirby wasn't fighting at full force here, a simple FRACTION of that strength is still way stronger then anything Paper Mario could do on his own

(Ender) Dimentio COULD have tried to control Marx's mind however that is only one move and with Marx's superior strength and speed it is unlikely he could even pull it off. His illusions and clones would help keep Marx on his toes but they would only delay the inevitable.

(Red) Looks like Dimentio got his...Jest Desserts

(Geo) The winner is Marx

Dimentio:
+Possibly superior Durability
+Level Head
=Intelligence
-Weaker
-Slower
-Less attack variety
-Dimention D was useless
-Illusions had little effect

Marx:
+Stronger
+Faster
+Wide attack variety
+Possibly superior Durability
=
Intelligence
-Crazier


Next Time On Death Battle:

*Cue St James Infirmary Blues

Two cups walk up to a large casino building. They plan games before a furry creature with large horns appears before them with a big toothy grin "Win one more roll and all the loot in my casino is yours! But if you lose, I'll have your souls!" He says as we seen clips of Cuphead and Mugman fighting him. Everything goes black...

"FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!"

A large, purplish-black spirit bursts out of the ground laughing. We then see this specter fighting Hat Kid

THE DEVIL VS THE SNATCHER (Cuphead vs A Hat In Time)
