Super Mario Bros: Search for the Crystal Stars

By The Fire Commander

Chapter 8: 3 Days of Excess

???: Mario? Luigi? Wake up…

Luigi’s eyes moved momentarily. Then he opened his eyes. Two Goombas were looking at him.

Luigi: Where am I?

Goomba 1: Luigi! You finally woke up!

Luigi: Who’re you? … Mario! Wake up!

Mario wakes up.

Mario: Where are we? Who’re you?

Goomba 2: Wow. That piece of the roof that hit your head must’ve done some serious damage.

Goomba 1: I’m Goombella. That’s Prof. Frankly.

Mario: Oh! I remember!

Prof. Frankly: I heard you guys needed to go to the Poshley Sanctum, so I got these tickets for you!

Received Train Tickets!

Mario: Ok. We’ll go now.

Goombella: Wait, I really want to come back to Poshley Heights, so can I come? I have my own Train Ticket.

Luigi: Ok. Why not?

Mario, Luigi, and Goombella go to the train station. They go to the Conductor Toad.

Conductor Toad: Tickets, please!

Mario, Luigi, and Goombella give their tickets. Then they’re onboard. A Koopa comes up to Conductor Toad.

Conductor Toad: Ticket, please!

Koopa: I don’t need tickets to get onboard!

The Koopa shrinks Conductor Toad, then steps on him. Then the Koopa goes on the train.

Conductor Toad: All aboard!

The still tiny and greatly hurt Conductor Toad walks onto the train, but the doors close on him and squish him.

Conductor Toad: I hate my life.

Then Conductor Toad manages to get on the train. The train starts moving!

Day 1

Mario: Three days.

Luigi: I’m hungry. I’m going to the place where you eat.

Luigi goes to the place where you eat. He sees that Chef Shimi’s pot has gone missing, Yoshi’s melons are gone, and Boo’s key is gone!

Pennington: Now, whoever stole the items, say Pennington is the best detective to walk this world!

Crickets chirp, but then they stop.

Pennington: Um… Ok. Anyone have any clues?

Yoshi: Yoshi see that one person take Yoshi melon. Yoshi see that it was a Koopa.

Luigi: A Koopa!

Everyone looks at a Koopa.

Pennington: Trooper!

Trooper: I didn’t do anything!

Pennington: What did you do today?

Trooper: All I did was get up from my room, go to the bathroom, and come here!

Pennington: Oh. So it was someone else.

Luigi goes back to his room.

Luigi: Mario! Goombella! Someone’s stolen three things!

Mario: Mamamia!

Goombella: We need to catch him!

Pennington walks into the room.

Pennington: Ah, Luigi! You’re back to help us with yet another mystery!

Mario: I’m standing right next to my brother, and you STILL confuse me with him?!

Mario faints.

Luigi: Look what you did, Pennington!

Pennington: Don’t worry, Mario! Luigi’s pulled through lots! He’ll be ok!

Luigi: Are you sure you don’t need to go to the emergency room?

Pennington: I’ll be fine, Mario!

Luigi sighs.

Meanwhile…

Yoshi: Yoshi want melon back.

???: So, you want your melon back, do you, inferior dinosaur?

Yoshi: Who that? Yoshi scared!

Shadow Yoshi appears!

Yoshi: You! Yoshi remember you from Yoshi’s Island! Yoshi battle you and save the day!

Shadow Yoshi: Sure you did. But now Shadow Yoshi defeat you.

Someone drops into the cabin. Cut to outside Yoshi’s cabin. Sounds of someone being tied up and gagged can be heard.

Day 2

Conductor Toad: We are now arriving at Riverside Station for a break!

Driver Toad: What?

Conductor Toad: WE ARE NOW ARRIVING AT RIVERSIDE STATION FOR A BREAK!

Driver Toad: Oh.

Conductor Toad: I hate being tiny.

The person who tied up Yoshi appears.

???: Don’t worry, the spell only lasts for three days.

Conductor: Really? Cool!

???: What?

Conductor: NEVER MIND.

Back at Mario, Luigi, and Goombella’s cabin, Mario has woken up. Mario used a hammer to bonk Pennington on the head, and he can now see accurately.

Pennington: Ok. Our only clue is that he was a Koopa, and our only suspect is Trooper.

Mario: Right.

Luigi suddenly walks in.

Luigi: I looked in every cabin, but the only Koopa I could find was Trooper besides this one I couldn’t identify. As soon as I walked into Cabin 8, the Koopa teleported away.

Pennington: Hmm…Time for Operation Hide in Cabin 8!

Goombella: Also known as OHIC8.

Then the train starts going. That’s right, they were talking during the stop at Riverside Station. Hey, that rhymes!

Day 3

Mario and Luigi are hiding in cabin 8. Something teleports inside.

Pennington: NOW!

Mario and Luigi jump on top of the thing. The thing is caught off-guard and is captured. Mario and Luigi get off it and Goombella turns on a light to see that the person is… Yoshi?

Yoshi: Ow! Yoshi hurt!

Luigi: Yoshi! Why would you do something like this?

Yoshi: Yoshi no do anything!

???: He’s right.

The unknown Koopa appears and reveals himself to be… Iggy!

Iggy: Hahaha! While I was onboard, I thought I’d make some mischief.

Iggy shrinks Mario and Luigi. Goombella tries to Headbonk Iggy, but she gets shrunk. Pennington gets shrunk too, but before that, he manages to kick Iggy. Mario pulls out a rope and wraps Iggy up. Pennington grabs Iggy’s wand and makes all the good guys big again.

Conductor Toad: I’m glad I’m big again!

Not you.

Conductor Toad: Aw!

Just kidding. Then the train arrives at Poshley Heights.
 

Chapter 9: Double Battle! Mario and Luigi VS Shadows Yoshi and Waluigi!
 
Mario and Luigi arrive in Poshley Heights. They go to the Poshley Sanctum and find out it’s locked!

Luigi: NOOO!

Pennington: Never fear! Pennington is here! I’ll knock the door down!

Pennington inserts the key and opens the door.

Mario and Luigi: …

Pennington: You came for the Garnet Star? Here it is!

Luigi: Let’s get it before one of those Shadows come!

Luigi grabs it just as Shadows Yoshi and Waluigi drop in.

Shadow Yoshi: Aw! Too late.

Shadow Waluigi: I’m afraid of fighting, but for universe domination, I’ll do anything! Come on, Shadow Yoshi! Let’s swipe the Garnet Star!

Shadow Yoshi: Ok.

Shadow Yoshi dashes at Mario while Shadow Waluigi dashes at Luigi. Mario jumps and hammers Shadow Yoshi. Luigi does a thunderbolt attack on Shadow Waluigi, but he throws Mario into Luigi. Luigi gets up and starts a thunderstorm. Shadow Waluigi grabs Luigi and throws him into the air. Luigi stops the thunderstorm and charges up a ball of lightning. Then Luigi throws it at Shadow Waluigi. Meanwhile, Mario does many Hyper Melts, but Shadow Yoshi can teleport, so none of the Hyper Melts hit. Mario then uses Earth Tremor, causing Shadow Yoshi and Shadow Waluigi to fall. Luigi throws two charged up thunderballs and Mario does a Hyper Melt. Mario hands the Ruby Star to Luigi. Mario does Hyper Laser and Luigi does the Ruby Star’s new attack, Explosive Circle Cannon. 10 circles are shot at an enemy per second, and it lasts for 3 seconds. Shadows Yoshi and Waluigi are out!

Shadow Yoshi: NOOOO!

Shadow Waluigi: HOW?!

Luigi: Now for the final attack! SHOWSTOPPER!

Luigi holds up the Garnet Star. Suddenly lightning zaps Shadows Yoshi and Waluigi all the way to ???’s castle.

Mario: How much do you want to bet they’ll get in trouble with their boss?

Luigi: $0.

Mario and Luigi laugh.

Mario: Next stop, Glitz Pit!

Meanwhile…

???: Let me guess. You lost?

Shadow Yoshi: Wrong. Look what I found!

???: You finding a nickel makes you win? I think you getting the Garnet Star makes you win. WHERE IS IT?!

Shadow Yoshi: Well, um, we might be able to buy the Garnet Star using this nickel!

???: Sometimes I wonder why I have such powerful but stupid minions. LIGHT DUNGEON TIME FOR YOU GUYS!

Shadows Yoshi and Waluigi: NOOOO!

???: ???2, come to me! What is the status report?

???2: We caught some intruders who came to take the Crystal Star. I knocked a little sense into them by turning them into Shadows.

???: Excellent… How many?

???2: Three.

???: Heheheh… Good. After Shadow Wario fails-

Shadow Wario: Why would I fail?

???: After Shadow Wario succeeds (yeah right!) we’ll send them out. Shadow Wario, you’re going to the Glitz Pit.

Shadow Wario: Cool! Once I start battling, MINDLESS VIOLENCE TIME!

???: Save that for the ring.

???: What are you waiting for? GO!

Shadow Wario: Wha?

???: That’s why I said you would fail. Let me do something.

??? casts a spell that makes Shadow Wario smarter. Then Shadow Wario leaves.

???: Mario Bros. You will NOT defeat Shadow Wario.
