Shiver City Overwhelmed, Roy and his crew are on the verge of being beaten, Roy being the victim of a relentless onslaught of fists from Wario.

You useless runts! Now look at us!!
That's it! It's time we kick *Urgh* things *Yow!* inta overdri--

As Roy tries to power up and tap into the same spell the other Koopalings used, nothing happens.

What the--!? What's *Ouch* goin' on!?
Apologies. You were trying to trigger a certain transformation, weren't you?
Wh-... What *Ow* happened?!
How gullible. When I hit you, I dispelled that foreign energy in you, preventing you from transforming. At least, long enough for you four to be defeated.
Oh, no...

Roy is Power Thrown into a nearby tree head-first, dizzying him!

U-ugh... J-joke's uhn yuh, Mughneto... this guhn wuz meide outtuh wood!

He is then hit by a Homing attack from Tailigee.

Hey! Hands off my prey, Green Stache!

Probably should've seen that coming. Oh, well, it's fair 'nuff. Your pizza joint, your rules. I've got no beef with that. Mmmm... beef.

Wildwood yawns, and prepares to leave before turning around.

Oh yeah. Word for the wise: Others might seem just like "Alternate MKII" to you, but if you judge us all by that same verdict, you are bound to be wrong. Take your Z-Team for example. Drastic experiences changed them into the people they are today. I bet they know better than anyone how-- for lack a better term-- unfair-- that is, to lump them in the same group as their newer counterparts.
Just food for thought! Later, 'gators! Speaking of beef...

Wildebeest Okay, now that one was just dumb! leaves.

Gritzy Desert Game & Watch suddenly leaps in the air in his octopus form, about to create a huge sandstorm on impact!

---

Little Papa Beta's - Outside Speaking of Proto MKII-- oh. It's just Wildburn.

(Wildblade, thank you.) Damn. Someone call the local Fire Department, because I believe this man has been the victim of a B-U-R-N Burn!

What are you doing here?

Well, I was gonna grab some grub, but I didn't know Little Papa Beta's offered barbecued food as well! sheesh!
Moreover, now I just wonder what's gonna happen next. My main guy spent all his time trying to prepare for a successful tournament, only to be the victim of bankruptcy and ultimate rejection by the public & private. Will it prove to be a turning point in his morale for the better as he attempts to redeem himself? Or will his resolve multiply by his lack of anything to lose, revealing his true nature along the way?
Also stealing from the Government sounds nice. Then again, I don't do the ol' mercenary/thief business for free.

Forever Forest WAKA-WAKA. (Okay!)

Pac-Man follows suit.

---

Gritzy Desert Ouch... I'm gonna be feeling that in the morning... Wait a minute...

!!!!!!!

Game & Watch proceeds to go crazy, causing huge waves all around him!

No! Stop!

Lemmy tries to run over to him, but is slapped into the atmosphere by a tentacle.

---

Shiver City There seems to be a standstill, with Wario in a struggle against Roy, and Yoshles and Somari fighting the Hammer Gang.

Listen, if-a-you know what's-a-good for you, you'll-a-run away back to your-a-evil lair.
Run away!? Who do you think we are, some kinda amateur--

the Ice Bro is immediately struck by a familiar individual.

Yes. That is exactly what we take you for.
Shadwari?
And-a-company!

Shadwari, Tailigee and Viewtiful Joe arrive.

Uh, boss? Now it's 5 against 6!
Who cares!? We didn't come here for nothin'!

While he is talking, Roy receives a swift headbutt from Wario!

Trust me, I'd hardly call the can-kicking I'm currently delivering to you nothing!

Forever Forest Huh... Y'know. That doesn't sound like a bad I--

---

Telepathic Link - Iggy Koopa Iggy is surrounded by a white-grayish gradiant. A familiar silhouette approaches him.

Tsk, tsk, brother. Always the opportunist.
L-Ludvig?
I believe so. Now then, I believe I caught you heavily contemplating an alliance of some sort?
Come on, Ludvig! For all we know, father'll* just keep us in that same Castle if we end up losing!
Oh, ye of little faith. I've already assured our freedom should we fail. But back to the matter at hand, I simply cannot watch as you forge ties that are beyond our jurisdiction. In other words...It is simply not our choice, whether we like it or not. We'll have to let father and the doctor decide that for themselves.

Telepathic manifestation Ludvig walks forward.

Are you attempting a d'état on the Koopa Troop, my dear brother?
...
Are you declaring yourself an enemy of the Great King Koopa!?
N-no! I can still fight--
Forget it. The spell has worn out. It is time to retreat and proceed with the plan. Understand?
...
I thought so.

Ludwig's telepathic manifestation fades, as Iggy begins to retain his grasp reality around him.

---

Forever Forest ...
No way! I'd sooner see to it the Mushroom Kingdom is ours!

Iggy tosses down a smokebomb (eerily similar to the one that Mouser used a few pages ago), leaving in a heap of smoke.

WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. (*Cough* Wonder what his deal is *hack*)

---

Gritzy Desert ...
...What are you--

Game & Watch begins to rapidly spin his tentacles and create several waves of Tidal Ink, shaking Lemmy off in the process!

---

*It felt weird having the Koopalings call Bowser by their name. Technically they're just elite members of Bowser's troop, but I think they would hold some sense of foster family in the sense that Bowser brought them in.

Ungh!

As Iggy is pelted by Vegetables, Pac-Man throws a Key at him, doing decent damage to him!

No... It can't end like this...

While Iggy mutters to himself, he is hit with an unsuspecting Flip Kick from Pac-Man.

WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA,WAKA-WAKA. (Considering you have no problem mind-controlling people, along with from what I heard, imprisoning "Test subjects", I'm pretty sure this stunt of yours has no reason not to end.)

---

Gritzy Desert As Game & Watch prepares to use even more of his tentacles to counterattack, there seems to be a slight hesitation.

...
What're you doing!? C'mon!! We gotta get rid of these phonies!!

---

Flip Kick (Swift/Impact)- The user does flips with their foot extended, doing a bicycle kick. Can be used on the ground or in the air, and cancelled into from a Rev Roll.

Waluigi uses his Hydrokinesis in an attempt to hold of the Tidal Ink as well.

!!

Game & Watch takes minor damage, and in retaliation, uses his tentacles to swipe at Hero Prinny and the other heroes!!

...
You all are bad! Bad, bad, bad people! It's time someone teach you a lesson!

Lemmy hops on the now-octopus Game & Watch, who delivers a large wave of Tidal Ink in our heroes' path!

---

Forever Forest ...

Pac-Man scratches his head.

WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA. WAKA-WAKA-WAKA. (Well, I don't exactly know what's going on, but I'll try my best to do whatever I can!)

Pac-Man leaps over to the Fire Hydrant from earlier and kicks it at Iggy, who dodges. Pac-Man attempts to buy time even further by dodging Iggy's hand-crafted Magic Beams all the while shifting through Bonus Fruit to find a suitable weapon to hit Iggy with.

---

Tidal Ink (Water/Earth)- The user sends a tsunami of ink the opponent's path in an attempt to catch them in a tidal wave. Is a more advanced version of Oil.

Ah, crapbask--

The sceptre is incidentally eaten by Super Pac-Man, who explodes.

...

Pac-Man returns due to his two remaining lives, but has not only lost his Super Pac-Man form, but is now unconscious and free of the spell casted on him.

...One thing. I wanted one thing.
"Now's our chance," Ludwig said. "Go and get some fresh air, finally use this as your chance to act as a man of science. Do something other than Kart-racing for once."
I was having fun, too. Until a pair of nitwits decided that it'd be funny if I lost my test subjects, my Clown Car, and my sceptre.
WAKA-WAKA. (Calm down, dude.)
...
..Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right.
WAKA-WAKA. WAKA-WAK-- (See, you guys? Was this so hard--)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A dark energy surrounds Lemmy as he levitates in the air.

---

Gritzy Forest Waluigi deflects one of the beams back into the real Lemmy, stunning him in place!

Ngh!!
Wa-hey! Waluigi number one--

This stun causes Lemmy to accidantly blast Game & Watch with the sceptre, causing... a transformation.

Waluigi, Waluigi...

The Lemmies one by one explode.

No!!! Friends!!

As the Lemmies diminish rapidly, the real Lemmy begins to rapidly increase in anger.

You meanies!! You meanies stop hurting my friends! Or I'm gonna hurt you!! Hurt you worse than you hurt them!

Lemmy begins throwing an abundance of large Magic Beams at Mao, Skapokon, and Waluigi, the latter trying to deflect them with his Tennis Racket!

Gritzy DesertGame & Watch simply responds by hitting him with a Judgement 4, doing slashing damage to Skapokon.

---

Waluigi rapidly lobs Bob-ombs at the army of Lemmys (Lemmies? Lemmi? Never did I think I would contemplate the plural tense pronunciation of Lemmy Koopa.).

Wahah! Not so tough when you have to deal with Metal bombs, are ya--

As Waluigi is speaking, his Metal Cap reaches it's time limit, turning him back to regular Waluigi.

...
(Wait... if My Metal Cap is gone... then what about--)

---

Shiver City Wario! Now!
Urgh!

Roy Koopa and the "Hammer Gang" seem to be having an increasingly difficult time fighting Wario, Yoshles, and Somari.

We can't keep up with 'em, boss! they're just too fast--
Shaddup! Your job's to back me up, not take out the small fry!*

From behind him are the increasing noise of metallic footsteps.

I assure you, you must be talking about those two chumps from before... I am no small fry.

Wario winds up for a punch... as his Metal form proceeds to vanish, leading to Roy catching his punch.

...Uh oh.
Uh-oh indeed, friend.

Roy sends Wario flying with a devastating punch of his own, and then fills a Bullet Bill at him with his Bullet Cannon!

---

*Pun not intended.

But since Mr. Game & Watch's respiratory system doesn't work that way, little to no damage is actually dealt.

...?

Game & Watch attempts to fry him with another Chef!

Hmm.

Imma say Fighter Kirby still because most of the Copy Abilities in Smash are kinda just one-dimensional imo.

My man can split whole damn planets with his punches. Fun in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror.



As for my favorite Maverick, I'm gonna keep it simple and say Flame Stag. He cool.



Now, for Mario power-ups. Y'know there's not much to dislike about them per se--



...You didn't even let me fini--



Come on, the Super Crown isn't that bad--

No. No. No. I REFUSE to let you post an image of what you and I both know you are going to post.

But yeah the Super Crown is just there because Nintendo couldn't figure out a way to make Peach playable since she's already kidnapped. Which makes sense but in all honestly it seems more like a cop-out than a legitimate power-up. There are probably worse ones out there, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Question. Do you mean from the games or is stuff like from Smash allowed?

Game & Watch suddenly jumps in and smacks the doll away before it can make contact.

---

Other World - Realm of the Sacred Kai

Okay, but I still have a few questions.
Shoot.
My first question. That "Hades Quartet, God of Knowledge" Extra World boss. I was under the implication that these Extra Worlds were just What-If scenarios. But if Hades-- or at least, who we can assume as the real one-- really is a deity...



Then what? If he really is some God of Knowledge, why would he use his power for his own benefit?
That's not what I was alluding to. What happened to the Ring of Greed?*

---

*For the record, I already have plans.

Lemmy comes out with an abundance of Lemmy drones!

You'll have to get through all my wonderful friends, first! Big bro Ludwig told me that it'd be best to have a backup plan if a bunch of meanies came to spoil my fun!
Grrgh! What's the plan, Wari--

Waluigi turns to his side, realizing Wario isn't there.

--Oh.

Waluigi brings out a metallic pair of Bob-ombs in his hands.

Guess the ol' plan B will have to do, then!!

Anyway, if you have a Switch, I'd say it actually doesn't matter as there is a way better tennis game it has.



No.



...You have one more.



I--

I give up.

It meh.

Mario Power Tennis is a cool game.

Toad Town Mall Shadwari stands over the at last defeated duo.

...
Hmmph.

Tailigee and Viewtiful Joe accompany Shadwari, who briefly leaves, taking Wendy out the mall (though far enough for her to be unable to cause trouble) with a brief Chaos Control warp.

Only one thing left to do..

Shadow wakes up the unconscious Little Mac, who now has a tank top again for no reason.

Ugh...

Little Mac looks around him, then at Shadwari.

You were under some sort of spell that made you not only fall victim to a group of villains, but run rampant in your berserker state. Whether or not you want to atone for the trouble you've costed us is your own concern. But even if everyone here forgave and pardoned you, there may be one person who never will.
...

Shadwari turns around and walks away, signalling for his partners to follow. Little Mac stays down, still processing what just happened.

...
