Mario Meets Yoshi

By Dr. Fruitcake

It has been a long, tiring day for the Mario Bros., and they are relaxing in the shade of a tree on the castle lawn. Luigi is sipping a strawberry smoothie, and Mario is munching on some fried mushrooms.

Luigi: So, I’d say it’s been a pretty successful adventure, eh, bro?

Mario: Yep, we got all of those Stars back, and we rescued Peach!

Luigi: Man, I’m beat. Do you always do this much stuff in a single game?

Mario: Oh yeah, all in a day’s work.

Luigi lets out a satisfied yawn and sips his smoothie.

Mario: Y’know, I still don’t get it…

Luigi: Get what?

Mario: How you can even stomach that stuff!

Luigi: Huh? What stuff?

Mario: That strawberry junk!

Luigi: What do you mean? This smoothie is delicious!

Mario: That’s disgusting.

Luigi: Oh, you’re one to talk. All you ever eat is mushrooms!

Mario: So what?

Luigi: You never eat anything else!

Mario: You’re just jealous ‘cause you’re allergic.

Luigi: What?!

Mario: You wish you could eat mushrooms like me!

Luigi: Oh, right. That’s it. “I wish I could lie around all day, scarf down mushrooms, and be 300 pounds like my brother Mario.”

Mario: Hey! I exercise too!

Luigi: No you don’t, you lazy slob. Whenever you’re not out saving Peach, you’re sitting in front of the TV playing Zelda games.

Mario: Shh! Don’t tell Link!

Luigi: I don’t know why they don’t recruit me to fight Bowser, I’m twice as fit as you are!

Mario: Hardly! Anything you can do, I can do better!

Luigi: I can do anything better than you!

Mario: No, you can’t.

Luigi: Yes, I can.

Mario: No, you can’t!

Luigi: Yes I can!

Mario: All right, fine. Prove it.

Luigi: Okay! Race to the top of the castle!

Mario: Fine by me! Winner gets free mushrooms!

Luigi: But I’m allergic to mushrooms.

Mario: Good thing I’m gonna win, then!

Luigi: We’ll see!

They take their positions.

Toad: Ready… Set… Go!

Toad fires his pistol, and Luigi takes off in a mad dash towards the castle. Meanwhile, Mario begins to casually stroll in the opposite direction.

Mario: Dum de dum…

Luigi happens to glance over his shoulder and sees Mario walking the other way. He screeches to a halt.

Luigi: *pant, pant* What are you doing?!

Mario: Who, me? Oh, you can keep running. I’m taking the cannon.

Luigi: *pant* Come on, I thought we were-

Luigi blinks.

Luigi: W-what did you say?

Mario: I said, I’m taking the cannon. It’s much quicker than wall-jumping, if you know what I mean.

Luigi: There’s a cannon?! Where?!

Mario gestures down to where he is standing.

Mario: Right here. It’s in the ground. There used to be a grate over it, but it’s open now that we’ve got all the Stars back!

Luigi walks over to the cannon.

Luigi: Wow, that’s pretty cool.

Mario: It should take us to the top of the castle in a jiffy… You wanna go first?

Luigi: No, you go first. You found it.

Mario: As you insist!

Mario hops into the cannon and aims.

Mario: See you on the roof!

BOOM! Mario flies out of the cannon and lands gracefully on the castle roof.

Mario: Haha! I win the race!

Luigi: Oh, quiet up there!

Luigi hops into the cannon and aims it.

Mario: Careful, don’t aim too-

BOOM!

Luigi flies out of the cannon, soars over Mario’s head, and crashes into the waterfall behind the castle.

Mario: … high.

Luigi, soaking wet, emerges from the moat below.

Luigi: Ow… My back…

Mario: Come on, get up here! It’s a great view!

Luigi: Of what?

Mario: Uh… the waterfall?

Luigi: I’ve seen enough waterfall for one day, thank you.

Mario: Oh, just try the cannon once more.

Luigi: Fine…

Luigi hops into the cannon and aims it.

Luigi: If I miss again, I’m suing!

Mario: Okay.

Luigi purposely rotates the cannon 90 degrees.

Mario: That’s not funny!

Luigi: Heh heh… Just kidding.

Luigi aims the cannon at the castle.

Luigi: Here goes nothing!

BOOM!

Luigi flies out of the cannon and… lands on top of the castle!

Mario: Cool! You did it!

Luigi: Hooray, now let’s go home.

Mario: No way! It’s nice up here!

Luigi: It’s nice down there, too.

Mario: Oh, but there’s such a wonderful breeze up here.

Luigi: They have breezes down there, too.

Mario: You’re such a pessimist.

Luigi: You say that like it’s a bad thing…

Later…

The two brothers are still on top of the castle. Mario is finishing up his fried mushrooms, while Luigi is enjoying a nap.

Mario: Hey, bro, you know what I was just thinking about?

Luigi snores.

Mario: Yo, Luigi, wake up!

Luigi: *snort* Huh?

Mario: You know what I was just thinking about?

Luigi: Hmm… mushrooms?

Mario smiles dreamily.

Mario: No, no, besides mushrooms.

Luigi: I give up. What?

Mario: It just occurred to me, there’s only one Mario character who we haven’t seen this entire adventure.

Luigi: Really? Who?

Mario: We haven’t seen… Ganondorf!

Luigi: … Um… that’s not a Mario character.

Mario: Oh yeah. Sorry.

Suddenly, the two begin to hear noises from the other side of the castle roof.

Luigi: What’s that noise?

Mario: You got me. Wanna go check it out?

Luigi: No, not really.

Mario: Well, I’m going to see what it is.

Luigi: It’s probably just a bird.

Mario: Could be…

Just then, the brothers notice that the noise is actually a voice- but it only seems to be saying one two-syllable word.

Mario: See?

Luigi: Oh, I recognize that voice!

Mario: Yeah! Let’s go see him!

Luigi: Okay.

The two brothers make their way around to the other side of the roof, and when they turn the corner they see the source of the voice…

Mario: Ganondorf!

Ganondorf: (muttering) Triforce… Triforce… Huh? What are you doing here?

Luigi: We could hear you talking.

Mario: Still looking for that Triforce, eh?

Ganondorf: Not exactly…

With that, Ganondorf whips off his costume to reveal none other than… a happy, green dinosaur!

Mario: Yoshi!

Yoshi: Hey guys!

Mario: What are you doing up here?

Yoshi: I was waiting for you! I knew you’d show up eventually.

Luigi: Dude, what was with the Ganondorf disguise?

Yoshi: Ah, that. I was bored. It sure did take you two a long time to get all those Stars!

Mario: Well, yeah, but-

Yoshi: But now that you’re here, I’ve got a present for you!

Luigi: Really?

Yoshi: Yup… 99 of ‘em, actually!

Luigi: What are they?

Mario licks his lips hungrily.

Mario: Mushrooms, I hope…

Yoshi: Well, as a matter of fact… they’re 1-Up Mushrooms!

With that, Yoshi hands Mario a box containing 99 1-Up Mushrooms.

Mario: Sweet! The best kind!

Luigi rolls his eyes.

Yoshi: Enjoy!

Mario: Oh, I will!

At that moment, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi hear a voice coming from below.

Peach: Mario! Luigi! Cake’s ready!

Luigi: Nice!

Mario: We’ll be right down!

Yoshi: Mind if I come too?

Mario: Not at all! Peach’ll be glad to see you too!

Luigi: Just try not to eat the whole cake in one bite, k?

Yoshi: Heh heh… I can’t make any guarantees!
