The now aging Hookbill came hobbling out of the bushes. However, Hookbill could not move very quickly as the years had restricted him to walking with a cane. The old koopa had lived through the heyday of Koopa Empire and was once a great warrior. He even worked with the mighty Kamek. But now, he was nothing more than a lowly leader of a small gang of extortionists.

"Haha, good work, my boys!", the retired troopa said to Kent and the paratroopa, "You've properly trapped a fine pair- a royal fungus and the younger Mario brother. They should have plenty of change ta spare! *Hack, cough*"

The paratroopa energeticly hovered between Hookbill and Kent C, obviously he was a great faker. "Thanks, boss. How 'bout that drama? Can't beat that."

"Hey, bud. Don't take all the credit. I mean, look at me! It's my power that makes these wieners 'fraid not ta pay." jealously remarked Kent C.

"Ahem", Luigi said rubbing his head where the parakoopa knocked him, "Sorry to a-interrupt you, but we a didn't say we were going to a-pay you."

"Yeah, you guys picked the wrong people to rob." added Toad, half-hiding behind Luigi.

The lighting bolt illuminated a slumbering huge red-shelled koopa. Sleeping in middle of the path, this giant blocked any way through.

After he got over his surprise, Luigi spoke up. "Hey, you, flubba koopa! Wake up! We a-needa get to the castle. Wake up and let us through!"

"Mmmuh? Wha? How's there?" grumbled the massive troopa as he woke up and came to a stand on his big red boots.

"Sheesh...How can anyone sleep in this weather?" wondered Toad.

The road-block koopa took off his thick glasses and gave them a shake to rattle the rain drops off and put the coke-bottle frames back on. "Mmm.. I'm Kent C...and you're the Mario brother I'm not supposed to let through", He said squinting his eyes, "So...I'm not movin'."

"But you a-gotta let us through," said Luigi still holding the injured parakoopa, "We a-gotta take your flying brother to the castle so he wonta die!"

"Hm! Brother of mine indeed. He's no troopa. He's a do-gooder...just like you", he sneered, "Besides, I was the one who put him in that state."

"Then prepare for to a-fighting, baddie! I'm agetting through no matter what!" Luigi said, carefully handing Toad the parakoppa.

"Woah, now, bud. I'm not so sure you want to do that. I mean, look at me. I'm huge! Frankly, I'd cream ya." then a greedy smile spread across the near-sighted koopa's face, "But I tell ya what...for the meager price of 100 coins, I'll get outta the way..ya know? Coins make the world go round, they say.."

Luigi glanced at Toad and said...

Yeah, I first started here in the summer when Deezer first put up the boards, then school had me tied up. Now that I return, I notice that there is a lot less activity than when I first joined. We could change that.
Why don't you guys go check out the Story Boards? Theres a new story that only has two posts to it! Come on, it could be fun! 8)

Yeah, that "Goomba King" was nothing more than other one of Bowser's dimwit pawns. Too bad, would've been neat if he was something more important.

And, yes, Goombario is a complete wiener. I guess that's what he's supposed to be like, but I find that all the characters (cept Lady Bow) are sickingly friendly, considering they are baddies. Goombario should've been more aggressive, with more of that Goomba fighting spirit. Kooper could've been the wiener, or at least not the hyperactive, ethusiastic annoyance they made him to be. I mean, he's a turtle. Parakarry basicly doesn't have a personality at all. I guess I just wish there was more inter-party interaction. Oh well, it's still an excellent game.

   Instead, Luigi opened the door and saw Toad standing in his little blue rain coat.
   "Toad! What brings you here?"
   "I was sent by our Princess, Peach. Listen, just let me in...It's scary out here!" Toad said just as lighting struck.
   "Of course, come in and tell me whats wrong."
   Toad closed his umbrella and walked in. "Well, I'm not sure anything's wrong, but Mario was invited to the castle a while ago but he's pretty late". Luigi felt a little hurt that he had been again excluded from the invitation but he shrugged it off.
The disappointment in Luigi's face, however brief, didn't go unnoticed by Toad, "Oh, don't give it any thought", Toad said with a kind smile,"Peach probably just wanted him to fix the royal toilet. But, ahem, Our Princess sent me here to see if he left."
   "Well, Toad, Mario left much time ago. Like you, I don't know where he is, I'm been worried, tell you truth."
   "Really? Yikes! I'd better get going back to the castle to tell the Princess!" said Toad as he hurriedly grabbed his umbrella and started towards the door.
   Lighting struck again, followed by tremendous thunderclaps. Toad froze in his steps. "Say...Luigi, would ya mind coming along? You know, so you don't have to be all alone in this spooky house.. heh,heh."

[[ I realize only after posting that Peach is "only a few rooms away". Sorry about that. I guess that's been changed now: she's at the castle..and Luigi is at the Mario Bros' house. Sheesh, I feel like a goof. ]]

Lucky? What can I say? My birthday came right in time. 8)

Nope, as far (Only on chapter two) there is no sign of Wario or the Koopa Kids. Kammy makes infrequent appearances that remind me of The SMW: YI days. Remember that? When the story sorta made sense? When important characters didn't just disappear and Luigi was playable in all the games Mario was? I miss that. Oh well.

Mario Chat / Re: Paper Mario Plot

« on: February 06, 2001, 10:03:53 PM »

Well, I got Paper Mario and have been playing it every sense. My general opinion on the game: Great. Another fun chapter to the Mario epoch.

I've played for over 4 hours and I haven't done much. I've only leveled up about 3 times, recovered only one of the Stars and gotten the Goomba, Koopa, and Bob-omb buddies. Seems like it'll be a long game. I certainly hope so.

The female Magikoopa's name is Kammy and she is basicly another Kamek. The Kamek-ish Magikoopa I saw in the screen shot is just your usual Magikoopa. As for Kamek, no where to be seen. Probably dead. ..Seems like he's the first Mario character to die (well..besides minor enemies). Luigi is in it...but not for any reason except to *be in in a game*. So far, he's not been important. He's gotta stay at home to "make sure nothing happens". At times you get to control Princess Peach. I don't know if Yoshi is in it, as I am not at the stage with Yoshis yet.

It's really an excellent game. The graphics are very easy to get used to and the music is pretty good. Actually, I think the cartooned characters make it much easier to see expressions and such. It makes the game more entertaining. However, it is obvious the complexity is toned-down for kids. Consider this more a RPG/Tradional Mario game mix. You have your basic ablilities (Jumping, Hammer) and your items..and, of course, your friends. They really should have made something better, I think it falls short of what we had with 'Mario RPG'. But, if you love Mario games, you'll love this.

I want two things to change in Mario: I want a flowing plot, one that makes sense. No more Yoshi Island plot curve-balls. And I want more realistic and difficult games. No, I don't mean Golden Eye. I mean something like Zelda64.

Mario Chat / Re: Halloween Costumes

« on: August 14, 2000, 10:17:11 PM »

This year, a friend of mind and I are going as Mario and Luigi. Although we are in our junior year of high school and will probably get laughed at, we don't care. In fact, it'll give Gibbo (my friend) a reason to go ape on a certain jerk. Said jerk constantly is bugging and making fun of Gibbo. But that's another story.

I'm going as Luigi and the only problem I can see with making the costume will be the hats. Any ideas?

Mario Chat / How long have the Bros been in TMK?

« on: February 06, 2002, 10:50:09 PM »

Yes, it's time to discuss another one of Mario's deep mysteries. How long has it been since Mario and Luigi first arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom? What are your theories? Please, as usual, try to support your ideas with logical arguments and evidense from the games, comics, etc. Thank you.

Mario Chat / Re: Mario Kart for Star Cube

« on: July 11, 2000, 05:08:38 PM »

First of all, characters. Instead of replacing some characters with others, they should just add them. The roster should include these:

Mario
Luigi
Bowser
Peach
Yoshi
Toad
Donkey Kong
Wario
Koopa the Quick (rather than a random Troopa)
Kamek

Perhaps a few more, but those are those are the bare minimum in my opinion.

Also, the racer's stats should be a little more accurate. In MK64, Peach was heavier than YOSHI. Yoshi was one of the lightest characters. Come on! He's a dinosaur Mario RIDES on. Give the heavy karts more advantages, they were handicapped in MK64.

Yep, What ParaTroopa said is what I believe is "canon". However, I do think that they can and have worked for others. Now, I don't mean that they get paid. Nope, I think they just side with whoever is in power in order to save their butts.
