Star 4: Five Itty Bitty Secrets

Luigi: MARIO! LOOK!

Mario: WHERE?!

Luigi: Made you look! Haha!

Mario: Grr. For that, I get to decide the next place we look for a Star.

Luigi: What?!

Mario:  Ò,..,Ó

Luigi: ... O...kay...

Mario leads the way to the room with the Goomba paintings.

Mario: You go in the small painting. I'll take the big one.

Luigi: No way! You got to decide where we go, so I decide which painting I enter.

Mario: Rock paper scissors?

Luigi: Okay.

Both: Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot! - Scissors!

Mario: A tie. Go again!

Both: Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot! - Scissors! Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot! - Scissors!

17 hours later...

Both: Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot!

Both: Scissors!

Both: Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot! - ROCK! HA! Dang.

43 hours later...

Mario: Paper!

Luigi: Scissors! I WIN! YAY! What was that about again?

Mario: I dunno. Let's just get going.

Luigi: Okay.

Mario jumps in the small painting while Luigi jumps in the big painting. Luigi is immediately squashed by Mario's shoe.

Luigi: Ouchie.

Mario: Hmm. What exactly are we looking for this time?

Mario jumps to the next platform. Luigi, recovering, staggers through the nearby doorway.

Luigi: I really need a break from all this danger, Star hunting, and pain. Maybe I'll take a breather here in the lake.

Mario jumps across the platforms, unsuccessful in finding anything useful.

Mario: Huff huff...

Luigi: Ahh.

Mario: Huff huff puff...

Luigi: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Luigi climbs out of the water to talk to the Koopa. Mario jumps onto the ledge with rolling balls.

BOOF.

Mario: Ow ow ow!

Luigi: So, so then MAX says, he says...

Mario stumbles finally to the box where the balls come from. A red "1" appears.

Mario: *gasp, gasp* Okay, let's look for secret thingies. If it's not too much more painful... I wonder how Luigi's doing.

Luigi: Got any 7s?

Mario: Oh well. Must press on.

Mario decides to climb the mountain, since it's so pretty. He gets to the top and a red "2" appears.

Mario: Neato! Hm, this little watery area looks suspicious. I'll check back with it later, probably. (Not.)

Luigi: OW! Ok, ok, 33 arm-wrestle matches is enough for me. (... Because I lost them all... *sob*) I think I'll be off to see what Mario is doing.

Luigi steals the Koopa's shell and rides up the mountain. He stops on a narrow ledge that leads into a crevice. He sees Mario coming down the hill.

Luigi: MARIO!

Mario: ? Luigi?

Mario looks down, but he slips on the side of the mountain and squashes Luigi into the ledge. A red "3" appears.

Luigi: Why is it I only get hurt when you're around?

Mario: What?

Luigi: I'LL BE OVER THERE!

Mario: WHERE?!

Luigi: ACK! YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT!

Mario: BUT YOU GET TO!

Luigi: My ears... I'M GOING TO THE CANNON!

Mario: Me too!

Luigi: WHY? IT'S TOO SMALL FOR YOU!

Mario: It's not open, and I can see the Bob-omb Buddy.

Luigi: Shush.

The two make their way over to the cannon. A red "4" appears.

Luigi: OKAY, OPEN 'ER UP!

Mario: Bob-omb Buddy, do your stuff!

Bob-omb Buddy: Hi! I'll prepare the cannon for you!

Mario: Um, how many fingers am I holding up?

Bob-omb Buddy: Ready for blastoff! Hop into the cannon!

Mario: *sigh*

Luigi jumps into the cannon. Mario leans down to watch.

Luigi: I can't see! Move!

Mario: WHAT?!

Luigi: OW! BE QUIET! Oops...

Luigi accidentally shoots himself into Mario, who flies backwards into the opposite wall.

...CRASH. A red "5" appears, along with a Star. Mario is out cold!

Luigi: Serves him right... but now I gotta get that Star!

Luigi jumps back into the cannon.

Luigi: Now, I gotta aim this just right...

Luigi shoots out in a random direction.

Luigi: AIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!

Luigi miraculously aimed just right so that the air currents around the separated platforms bring him to a soft landing on the plateau bearing a pipe.

Luigi: All part of the plan. Yeah! Anyway, I'm tired of being so tiny. I keep getting-

Luigi is squashed by a giant Goomba.

Luigi: ...squashed. Owie...

Luigi jumps into the pipe. He jumps back out huge.

Luigi: If Mario were here and conscious, I'd show him... Wait, what's that?

In the distance, the familiar glint of a Star can be seen glinting from on top of a platform... glintily.

Luigi: How do I get that? It's so terribly far away! I need my blankie.

Luigi sits down and bawls for 20 hours.

20 hours later...

Luigi: I guess I'll try looking around here for anything useful.

45 hours and 327 smacks from tiny metal balls later...

Luigi: Y'know, maybe that enormous switch has something to do with it... maybe.

Luigi touches the switch slowly...

*CLICK* *PATHWAY TO STAR*

Luigi: ... OHHHHHHH.

Luigi runs over and grabs it.

Luigi: Here we go!

Luigi then trips and falls into the abyss.
