The Mario Tennis Tournament

By Denny W. Koopa

Singles Tournament Round 1, Part One

Baby Mario vs. Ludwig

Lakitu: Would Baby Mario and Ludwig come up?

Baby Mario trots up and Ludwig rides his hover scooter.

Lakitu: Okay, here goes. You guys will be given a place to play, and you will play a 1 set-2 game match. You can use a Power or Save Shot, but only one of each per game. There also may be gimmicks. Okay, so where would you like to play?

Baby Mario: Super Happy Tree!

Ludwig: Pipe Land!

Lakitu: Too bad! I can’t decide! Let’s see…

Lakitu spins a giant wheel.

Lakitu: Looks like you guys are playing at Gelato Beach! You will have to avoid the Cataquacks and rolling melons! Are you ready?

Baby Mario: YEAH!

Ludwig: I’ve been ready!

Lakitu: Okay, here we go!

Lakitu presses a switch and a warp pipe comes up. All three jump in, and the TV screen turns on.

Lakitu: Okay guys, this will be a nice game.

Ludwig: What about fair?

Lakitu: The gimmicks will determine that. First, Baby Mario will serve. Are you ready?

Baby Mario: Haven’t we alweady been through this?

Lakitu: Oh yeah! Well, get in your spots!

Baby Mario to serve. Baby Mario hits the ball. It lands perfectly on the other side of the court. Ludwig rallies it right back to Baby Mario. Baby Mario does the same. Ludwig decides to use his special already. He takes out a formula gun, and shoots the tennis ball. It suddenly slows down. Baby Mario still manages to get to the ball before it bounces, and hits it to the other side of the court. However, Baby Mario gets electrocuted from the after-effect of the formula. Ludwig sees that he can’t get to the ball, so uses his save attack. A pipe grows out of the ground and Ludwig pops up where the ball is. Baby Mario hits the ball and Ludwig is about to get it. Then a watermelon squishes him.

Ludwig: Oh great… I’ll have to get on my exercise bike again…

Baby Mario: YAHOO! Baby Mario Winning!

15-Love

Baby Mario serves it quickly, but it hits the net.

Baby Mario: Oops! Baby Mario do a boo-boo!

Baby Mario makes another good serve. Ludwig swings but misses.

Ludwig: WHY YOU LITTLE-

Baby Mario: Hee-hee! You lose to baby!

30-Love

Ludwig looks as if he’s ready to slam the ball. Baby Mario hits another perfect serve, and Ludwig hits it right away. It zooms right past Baby Mario.

40-Love
*** Game Point ***

Ludwig: WHAT? But I got it past him!

Lakitu: You didn’t wait for the ball to bounce!

Baby Mario serves another good ball. Ludwig hits the ball back. All of a sudden, a watermelon rolls over Baby Mario.

Ludwig: YES!

Then, Baby Mario uses his save attack. He throws a red rattle at the ball and it makes it over the side.

Ludwig: DARN!

Ludwig is about to hit the ball when a Cataquack comes in and throws him up in the air. The ball bounces below him.

Ludwig: How could that be fair?

Lakitu: I never said fair, remember?

Ludwig: Maybe I shouldn’t use my powers so quickly next time…

Game- Baby Mario
Change Sides
Ludwig to Serve

Ludwig serves a fast serve, Baby Mario hits it back. Ludwig goes up to the net and smashes it to the opposite side.

Baby Mario: Baby Mario get you next time!

Ludwig: Ha! Eventually, I’ll win!

15-Love

Ludwig serves another ball and runs up to the net. Baby Mario hits it back, and Ludwig hits a ball Baby Mario could get, until a Cataquack tosses him aside.

Ludwig: All is in favor for me now!

Baby Mario: Hmm…

30-Love

Ludwig, once again, serves the ball, and runs up to the net. Baby Mario hits the ball above Ludwig’s head. Ludwig is forced to use his save attack. A pipe comes up and he jumps in, popping up and hitting the ball straight towards Baby Mario. Baby Mario sees his opportunity, and uses his power attack. He blows a whistle and a Chain Chomplet eats the ball. He runs to the other side of the court, around Ludwig, and then stops right in front of Ludwig, and then tackles him.

Ludwig: OW!!!

Baby Mario: Haha, that was funny!

30-15

Ludwig serves the ball, but stays back. Then Baby Mario hits a slow ball that Ludwig can’t get to.

Ludwig: DARN! He caught up!

Baby Mario: YAY!

30 All

Ludwig hits the ball and goes to the middle. Baby Mario hits it back. Ludwig uses his Power Shot, and takes out a formula gun. He shoots the ball, and it suddenly slows down. Baby Mario has no way to get to it, until the Cataquack comes by and gets hit by it, hitting it to Baby Mario. Baby Mario slams it to Ludwig’s side. Ludwig isn’t paying attention, instead looking at the Cataquack that ruined his shot, and gets hit in the eye with the ball.

Ludwig: AHHHHHHHHHH!!! MY EYE!

Ludwig runs around his side of the court, covering his eye.

Baby Mario: Why you dancing?

Lakitu: He’s hurt. Well Ludwig, can you still play?

Ludwig: Yeah, I just need a band-aid…

30-40
*** Match Point ***

Ludwig now has a band-aid on his eye. He serves the ball, and Baby Mario hits it back. Ludwig hits it back again, and Baby Mario does the same. Baby Mario then runs up to the net while Ludwig is about to hit. Ludwig thinks he can hit it above Baby Mario’s head. Baby Mario, seeing the ball, goes back, jumps up, and slams the ball out of Ludwig’s reach, winning the game.

*** GAME, SET, and MATCH ***

Lakitu: Baby Mario is the winner!

Ludwig: NO NO NO!

Baby Mario: YAY! Baby Mario beat you!

Ludwig: *sob*

Geh! Geh! Geh!

All three jump out.

Lakitu: So Baby Mario will move on to the next round! Let’s bring up our next two contestants!
 
 

Baby Luigi vs. Roy

Lakitu: Will Baby Luigi and Roy come out here please?

Roy jumps out of the audience and Baby Luigi trots down.

Lakitu: Okay, so where do you want to go?

Roy: Forest of Illusion!

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Lakitu: Yeah, well, we’ll see where you will go!

Lakitu spins the wheel and it stops.

Lakitu: And you’re going to Sasa- No… Sara- Hmmm Sa- WHATEVER! IT’S DAISY’S KINGDOM!

Roy: Wow, some issues…

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Lakitu: Whatever… In this court, Snifits will run up and down the court… So, let’s go!

GEH! GEH! GEH!

All three jump out of a warp pipe to a normal-looking court with a flower in the middle.

Lakitu: Oh yeah, if you hit the flower, it will toss the ball out of the court.

Roy: So basically, if you hit the flower, it’s an out.

Lakitu: Yeah…

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Lakitu: SHADDUP! Oh, well, get in your spots!

Baby Luigi to Serve

Baby Luigi makes a perfect serve. Roy slams the ball. Baby Luigi watches helplessly.

Lakitu: OUT!

15-Love

Roy: ARGH!

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Baby Luigi serves again. This time, Roy hits it gently. Baby Luigi hits it back. Roy is about to get to it when…

Spitball Snifit: I’m going to be late for my next class! I might not be able to spit 50 spitballs at the teacher this time!

The Snifit runs and hits the ball. The ball slowly bounces on the ground.

30-Love

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Roy: AHHHHH!!! BABY WEEGIE THIS! BABY WEEGIE THAT!

Roy is so aggravated that he doesn’t notice the Baby Luigi has served and got a Service Ace.

40-Love

Roy: AYE AYE AYE! Just calm down, Roy…

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Baby Luigi serves the ball. Roy hits it slowly, and it bounces twice before Baby Luigi can get to it.

40-15

Roy: HA! What-cha’ gonna say now? Huh?

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Roy: Thought so…

Baby Luigi serves up another, and runs right up to the net. Roy rallies it over Baby Luigi’s head.

40-30

Roy: I won’t even ask…

Baby Luigi: Baby Weegie!

Baby Luigi hits it. Roy rallies, than Baby Luigi hits it softly.

Roy: WOAH!

However, it bounces off a flower to off the court.

Roy: YEAH!

DUECE

Baby Luigi: Juice?

Lakitu: BABY Luigi’s first word since-

Roy: I think we all know…

Baby Luigi serves it, Roy hits it, and a Snifit runs through.

Snifit: Thanks! I needed an extra bullet! Hey! You look like that Luigi guy Daisy hates! I must prove myself!

The Snifit fires the ball at Baby Luigi, and he tumbles over. He skids his knee on the cement, and it starts to bleed (not the gushing like in “Conker Reloaded” for the Xbox). Baby Luigi starts to cry.

Baby Luigi: Wah!

Lakitu: Aww… Well, can you still play?

Baby Luigi: WAHHHHHHH!!!

Lakitu: WOAH! I take that as a no! Roy wins!

Roy: YEAH! If I knew crying like that would’ve won it, then I would’ve punched him a while ago!

Geh! Geh! Geh!

Wendy vs. Susan

Lakitu: Can the next two competitors come up, please?

Wendy and Susan walk up, and you hear six voices in the audience going “BOO SUSAN!!!”

Lakitu: So you should know all the rules by now, so where do you want to go?

Wendy: I wanna go to Chocolate Island!

Susan: Well, I wanna go to Grass Land!

Lakitu: And you are going to… Shooting Star Summit!

Wendy and Susan: Aww…

GEH! GEH! GEH!

A warp pipe appears on top of the Star Summit mountain. Lakitu, Susan, and Wendy jump out.

Lakitu: Okay, so this court is on top of Shooting Star Summit. You will have to dodge the shooting stars here. Okay, get ready for a nice and clean match. Ready, GO!

Wendy to Serve

Wendy serves a perfect hit to the ball. Susan comes up and rallies it. Wendy hits it over again. Susan uses her Power Shot. She digs underground, and controls the ball through a hole. It comes up near the corner on the other side of the court, and flies backwards.

Lakitu: OUT!

Susan: WHAT?

Wendy: YES!

Lakitu: Your ball never bounced, and it bounced on the outside of the court; you have to be more careful.

Susan: ARGH!

15-Love

Wendy hits the ball again. Susan runs up and hits the ball softly. Wendy can’t get there in time, so she uses her Save Attack. She uses her bow as a boomerang. It bounces at the corner of Susan’s side of the court. Susan uses her save attack. It’s kind of like Daisy’s Mario Power Tennis, except it’s a row of grass, in honor of her “love”. She hits it over Wendy’s head, and Wendy can’t get to it.

Susan: I’m coming, Larry!

Wendy: Oh, be quiet!

15 All

Susan is dancing after her point, not noticing that Wendy has just served the ball. Susan hits it late, and it hits the net.

30-15

Wendy: Who’s cheering now?

Susan: Technically, nobody…

Wendy: WRONG! All my brothers are!

At the stadium…

The other six Koopa Kids: YAY! Susan’s losing!

Back to the match…

Wendy serves another good ball. Susan hits it back. Wendy hits it close to her and…

BOOM!

Lakitu: And here come the Shooting Stars!

Susan gets blasted off the side of the mountain, so she doesn’t hit the ball.

40-15
Game Point

A lot of laughter is heard.

Wendy: WOW! The laughter from the stadium can be heard all the way hear!

Susan finally gets back up.

Susan: I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!

Lakitu: You did get the tennis ball down there, right?

Susan: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Susan runs down the mountain. When she gets back up AGAIN...

BOOM!

Susan: This place looked pretty in Paper Mario!

Susan goes back up.

Lakitu: Whatever… Let’s just continue!

Wendy serves it, then Susan hits it back. Wendy hits it and…

BOOM!

Susan: NO!

Susan, scared of the explosion of the star, and thinking the ball might bounce off the star, jumps off the cliff.

Lakitu: That’s kind of stupid…

However, the star hits Wendy.

Wendy: OW!

Game-Wendy

It’s a minor explosion, and only her face is covered in ashes. Wendy rubs the ashes off and OH MY GOODNESS! NO WONDER WHY YOU NEED MAKEUP!

Wendy: SHUT UP!

Lakitu: Whatever…

Susan comes back.

Susan: I’m starting to hate stars- AHHHHHH!!!

Susan is scared so much by Wendy’s face, she jumps off the cliff AGAIN!

Lakitu: CAN WE JUST GO ON?!

FINE! Susan magically appears at her side of the court.

Change Sides
Susan to Serve

Susan serves the ball, Wendy rallies it, Susan hits it again, Wendy hits it again, Susan hits it again, and then Wendy. They both rally one more time, then two more times, then they dance to the Macarena, then they rally more…

BOOM!

A star falls on Wendy.

Susan: YEAH! I WIN!

Suddenly, the star theme plays. Wendy turns multicolored.

Lakitu: Looks like we got our first Gimmick Item! An invincible Star landed on Wendy! If she scores, she will get double the points for this round!

Wendy hits it to the other side of the court. Susan uses her Special Save; she leaps across a growing patch of grass. Wendy slams the ball to the other side of the court, and Susan can’t get to it.

Love- 30

Susan: Well, that’s not fair!

Lakitu: You’re correct!

Susan: NOT WHAT I MEANT!

Lakitu: That’s sort of a fragment…

Susan serves really fast with anger, Wendy hits it, and- BOOM! Susan goes to the star and gets blasted off the mountain.

Love- 45
Match Point

Susan: Does EVERYONE hate me?

Lakitu: Yes.

Susan: AHH!

Susan climbs back up, gets to her side of the court, and serves. Wendy hits it and uses her Power Shot; she takes out a FLUDD, puts in the ball, and shoots it out. Susan hits it, but gets wet with toxic water, and gets dizzy. So dizzy, that she walks off the cliff, by accident! Wendy hits the ball and ends the match right there.

GAME, SET, and MATCH!

Lakitu: Wendy wins!

Wendy: Is Susan going to be okay, or better worded, is Susan going to die?

Lakitu: As for the second, I think we ALL hope so!

The two jump in the warp pipe and leave Susan behind… Susan wakes up right when the warp pipe disappears.

Susan: I wanted to win for Larry! HEY! Where’d everyone go? I’ll just wait here for someone to come by…

A few minutes later, a weird-looking Shy Guy walks by.

Susan: HEY! Are you going to the tennis stadium?

Weird Shy Guy: Well, I need to eat my new diet first…  -_-  Fighter Flies… Hey, they’re pests, and you seem like one too!

The Shy Guy eats Susan, proving himself to be the one and only, fat and disgusting, Gourmet Guy.

Gourmet Guy: MMM!!! Yummy!

Larry vs. Morton

Lakitu and Wendy jump out of the warp pipes, and Wendy runs back to the audience.

Lakitu: Let’s bring up our next two contestants! Larry and Morton!

Larry runs out of the audience, and Morton walks out.

Lakitu: So you basically know how to play, after seeing three games! So where do you want to go?

Morton: I want to go to Desert Land, because that is the land I rule, well, technically one of the lands I rule, because I also rule the Donut Plains, and My Room, but everyone owns their room, unless their parents are really strict, like-

Lakitu: I don’t need an explanation!

Larry: Hmm, whatever we say as the best, he chooses the worst. Maybe I should say the worst! I WANT TO GO TO Block City of Mario Kart: Double Dash!

Lakitu: Good Idea! Let’s go there and NOT spin the wheel!

Larry: But-

Lakitu: Only kidding!

Lakitu spins the wheel and-

Lakitu: WOW! I guess we’re going to Block City anyways!

GEH! GEH! GEH!

Lakitu: Welcome to Clock City! As you can see, the entire floor is made out of blocks! The gimmick here is that if you hit one of the two purple blocks on the court, a row of blocks will form as a wall. You will have to hit the ball three times to make the wall disappear. The color block on the wall determines the speed of the bounce. Red is very fast, white is medium, and blue is slow. The Gimmick Item is the Porcupo Block. If you touch these poison quills with your racket, you will move slower; however, you will get double the points if you win the Rally! Ready?

Larry and Morton: No-

Lakitu: GO!

Larry to Serve

Larry hits a perfect serve, Morton hits it back with his special. He hits the ball and moves his wand for a sandstorm. Larry puts on goggles for eye protection. The ball seems to be going to the left, but it gets shifted to the right. Larry still hits it back, but gets blown to the other side of the court. Morton has sand in his eyes and can’t see the ball.

15-Love

Morton: No fair! He were goggles, and I didn’t, and I got sand in my eyes and couldn’t get to the ball, so would that be called cheating?

Lakitu: No, just expectedness!

Morton: That is not even a word, because it’s not in the dictionary, which the words in it are-

Larry serves the ball, and Morton’s mouth is wide open. Morton ends up with the ball in his mouth.

Lakitu: That would be called hit in the face! Larry’s point!

30-Love

This one starts as a rally for about a minute, then, when the ball comes to Morton, he spits out the other ball, and both of the balls collide. The newer ball drops and hits the purple block. Morton races up and hits the ball on a red tile. It speeds right at him.

Morton: AHHHH!!!!

Morton uses his special; he rides a donut lift, and hits the ball ABOVE the wall!

Lakitu: OUT!

45-Love
Game Point

Morton: What?

Lakitu: There’s another court above us made of blocks, but it landed off that court!

Morton: THAT’S NOT FAIR!

Larry: But I don’t care!

Morton: YEAH, BUT YOU-

Larry serves and Morton swats his racket with anger, hitting Larry on the nose.

45-15
Game Point

Larry serves, and Morton hits it.

Morton: HAHA! I hit you on the nose!

Larry uses his Power Shot. He builds a Bob-omb over the tennis ball, and hits it over to the other side. It hits Morton and explodes. Morton faints.

Game-Larry
Switch Sides
Morton to Serve

After about two hours, Morton gets up and serves the ball to Larry. Larry looks at the ball bouncing past him.

Morton: HA! You’re so stupid! You didn’t even react to the slow, steady, not fast at all-

Love-15

Larry: This is your side!

Morton: OH!

Morton and Larry switch sides. Morton serves the ball right at Larry. Larry, with no time to think, hits the ball before his face, before it bounces.

15 All

Morton: Hee hee hee! You hit the ball and you weren’t supposed to and-

Larry: I’ll stay back now…

Morton hits a really slow ball. Larry can’t get to it in time. I’m using short sentences at the moment…

30-15

Morton: HA! I have the advantage, the heads up, the 2 to1, the 3 to 2, the 4 to 3-

A Porcupo Block comes down. Larry gets it.

Lakitu: You wanna serve?

Morton: Wanna is not a word-

Larry: Be quiet, Ludwig imposter!

Morton: I AM NOT A LUDWIG IMPOSTER, well, I’m not Ludwig either but-

All of Plit: JUST SERVE!

Morton: FINE!

Morton serves another slow one, and Larry can’t get to it, due to his slower speed-

Morton: HA! I’m STILL winning-

-but Larry uses his save shot. He takes out a bazooka and shoots the ball. Yes, that is a strange Save… It lands on the other side, and Morton, who thinks he has won the rally, doesn’t get to it.

45-30
Match Point

Morton: WHAT? ----------------------------------------------

The tape is fast-forwarding, and a big white line (like a wave) is covering over Morton’s mouth. It stops at Morton’s serving…

Morton serves, and Larry hits it to the purple block. Morton hits it on the white block, rallies it to the white block again, and rallies it to a- PINK BLOCK? Well, a whole bunch of lasers start shooting at Morton rapidly, and Morton runs away screaming, leaving the tennis ball behind…

Larry Wins!

Morton runs to the warp pipe, and the other two walk (and float) to the warp pipe.

GEH! GEH! GEH!

Lakitu: Well, that’s all for today! We have four that will make it into the semi-semi-finals! Look at Singles Tournament Round 1 Part 2 to continue! And maybe you can take a peek over at the Doubles Tournament… Tootles! Okay, who put that in the script?!
