Mario Forms A Rock Band!

[Ambulance Y]

This is going to be a story about Mario, and his newly discovered love of music, that drives him to become a rock star.

Prolouge~Mario’s Idea

In his small house, Mario sighed as he lounged on his favorite chair. He had saved Princess Peach umpteen times, unlocked the thousand-year door and discovered its secrets, heck, he had even won numerous tennis, go-kart, and golf tournaments. But something was missing. He watched Luigi as he pranced around their house blowing through a kazoo, playing some stupid song that annoyed Mario so much he wanted to rip his own ears out, and yet, it seemed to inspire him. This music, it was so compelling he wanted to make his own. He pranced up from his chair and walked to Luigi’s CD collection. He wanted to hear MORE. He flipped through the CD’s. N’SYNC? No. Stevie Nix? No. Classical Mozart? No. The Best of Snoop Dogg? No. Alvin and the Chipmunk’s Greatest Hits. Hmm….Maybe. AC/DC Back in Black, YES! Mario cranked up the CD player to full blast and listened. *Back in Black playing in background*. “Hey!” Luigi shouted, “Can’t a man play a kazoo without being interrupted?!” Mario was entranced with this music. He couldn’t get enough. He needed to play this music. This music needed to go through his soul. He needed to visit the Mushroom Kingdom Instrument Surplus Store. Now!

What is it with you people?! Lizard Dude just died today for Pete's sake and you're talking about Luigi playing the kazoo!  What's wrong with you?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.  But I think we can all agree that Mario rules and that''s a fact!

[Ambulance Y]

You know what, I think that Lizard Dude would want us to keep on chatting about Mario, we already know that this was a very horrid experience, but if this forum was to talk about death, it would be called Death Forums, not Fungi Forums. I'm not going to stop posting just because I'm about 20% sure that a forumer MIGHT have died. In fact, I'm going to post my second chapter. Sure, i'm also pretty sad about this experience, but you yourself questioned if his death was hoax or not also. It's not a rule that if a rumor about a forumer dying is going around that you have to chat about it. Plus, I don't even know LD in real life! Now I'm going to keep on posting wether you like or not Yoshisaurus Rex, if that is your real name,  because I'm pretty sure that LD would want us to keep on posting, NOT ABOUT DEATH.


Chapter One~Visit to the Mushroom Kingdom Instrument Surplus Store

Other than on his adventures, Mario didn’t get out much. His garage was filled with junk from all the years passed. A pile of koopa shells sat in the corner. Plus a rack with his golf clubs and tennis rackets. But his two prized possessions lied in this center of the garage. There sat his old Mario Kart 64 Kart, and his MKDD kart. He pulled some keys out of his pocket and revved up the good old Double Dash kart. He was going to have a little visit to the Mushroom Kingdom Instrument Surplus Store. Luigi stumbled into the garage. “I hear you’re going to the music store,” he said, “can I go with you to buy a new kazoo.” Mario shook his head yes, and off they went. It was a beautiful day in the kingdom. The sky was blue, all the giant mushrooms were plentiful, and everybody seemed to be enjoying the pleasantness of the hour. Mario and Luigi rode in their prized kart along the country side. They waved at the happy mushroom people, and a cloud of dust trailed behind them. They turned off a road to Mushroom City, and before they knew it, skyscrapers towered above them. Luigi read off a map to Mario and they followed the directions to the MK Instrument Surplus Store. After they parked and got out, Luigi rocketed into the store. “What a ball of energy,” Mario thought. As he entered the store, he saw a toad with a six-o-clock shadow, long greasy hair, and a vacant expression on his face as he strummed a vintage Fender, with his feet propped up on the counter. “Welcome to Mushroom Kingdom Instrument Surplus Store,” he said, “can I help you?” “Yeah,” Mario said, “I listened to some rock music a few days ago, and it inspired me. That’s why I came here; I want to play some rock. I don’t care what instrument. Just please hook me up with something.” The toad introduced himself as Amp, and walked Mario down a row of rock instruments. “Okay, we have bass, drums, keyboard, you know, that kind of stuff, and guitars.” Amp said. Mario looked back and forth at the instruments and was particularly attracted to the guitars. He walked down the long guitar section. A blue guitar, a green one, an orange one, even a golden one, but he was drawn to the final one. It cost a fortune, but it was the best looking one of all. It was an electric. The body looked like a 1-up mushroom, and there were two separate necks to it. It was magnificent. But the price tag made him gag. There were only two people who had that kind of money, and that was none other than the treasure stealing Wario bros. Mario needed this guitar, but the first step was to bribe Wario and Waluigi for some sweet money. Find out what happens in the next chapter!

Yoshisaurus Rex, I used to think you took things easy. I've been proven wrong.

"Now I'm going to keep on posting wether you like or not Yoshisaurus Rex, if that is your real name,"

Sorry, that just strikes me as funny.

It''''s funny until someone gets hurt. Then it gets hilarious!

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Ha, that's a good one.  My real name.  Heh heh heh heh... *stops laughing and suddenly falls on the floor and begins to weep bitterly* No, you're right!  You're completely right!  My real name actually IS Yoshisaurus Rex!  It's true!  My parents were huge Yoshi and Jurassic Park fans before they were married, so when I was born they immediately decided to give me that rediculous name.  Do you know how hard it was to go through life with a name like that?!  Kids would always point and laugh at me in school, and then throw green-polka dot eggs at me when I walked home.  Every Easter they would force me to eat weird stuff because they thought I could lay eggs.  I couldn't even spell my name correctly for the longest time!  Oh, I'm so embarrassed!  Please don't talk about this anymore!!!

Getting back to serious world now, I think you're story is pretty cool so far.  I might make my own little thing soon (not trying to advertise).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.  But I think we can all agree that Mario rules and that''s a fact!

[Lizard Dude]

Hehehe, real name.

If I did actually die, I would want the forumers to keep on going posting their funny Mario stories. It would make me happy.

“I’m a stupid fatty and I love to play with my Easy Bake oven.”

[Ambulance Y]

Yeah, I'm so glad this whole joke is over. It was cruel, but pure genius. I believed it like the first few minutes, but then I got some clues that made this seem preeety fishy. I'll probably post my next chapter tommorow or monday.

[Ambulance Y]

Here is a hot fresh chapter right off the press, and luigiandpeachey, I have no idea what you just said. Anyway, please enjoy my 2nd chapter.

Chapter Two~Bribing Private Wario

Mario told Amp he would be back soon, and let Luigi stay to browse through the kazoo section. He remembered that Wario and Waluigi lived in an apartment in the city he was in. It was Koopa Apts. #17, that was it. He found out later that night that Koopa Apartments had the worst looking living conditions Mario had ever seen. Grime and shifty looking strangers were in every corner. He climbed the rusty stairs to Wario’s apartment and half-heartedly rang the doorbell. When the door opened, the worst stench ever, reached Mario’s nostrils. It was like onions and rotten milk. Mario almost vomited, and so did Wario as he saw his enemy in the doorway. “Mario!?” He screeched, “What are you doin’ here, ya filthy mutt?” “I have to ask you of you a favor.” Mario replied. “Ok,” Wario grunted, “step inside, and watch out for the ****roaches.” Mario stepped in. The walls were tainted with a green liquid, and the carpet had bug droppings and dead mice all over it. With so much stolen money, you think they could afford more. Maybe they just liked to be gross. Waluigi was eating pork chops on the couch while watching some crapping infomercial. He spat out a huge chunk of pork and shouted, “What’s that loser doing here?” “He has to ask us a favor,” Wario blubbered. Waluigi walked up expectantly, and in a few minutes Mario had explained the whole thing, he wanted to borrow some money, to get the guitar so he could release his true feelings, and maybe even found a rock band. “Hmmm…” Wario thought, “Sure, as long as you pay me back.” “Okay!” Mario explained. Wario nodded and waddled over to an area of the carpet where a large X was marked. He bent over, and ripped open the carpet! He pulled out a large sack of cash and handed it to an utterly confused Mario. “Okay, there ya go, but you better pay back, twerp,” Wario said, “oh, and FYI, Waluigi is a great bassist.” “Yeah, I’m a regular Jimi Hendrix…” Waluigi said, “…who…plays bass instead of guitar!” “I’ll keep that in mind,” Mario remarked. Whatever, he thought. He left and started up his kart, and drove off, loud traffic surrounding him, but Mario was very hard in thought as the busy Mushroom City night drove on. He was thinking of what to do. What to do next… He needed to buy that sweet ax, and find himself some band members! Who will he choose? Find out in the following chapters!

This keeps get better by the second!  I like how you're so good with making the character have such funny personalities.  A Toad named Amp who has long and greasy hair and works at a music shop?  Hahahaha!

EDIT: I hope you were joking about your comments about me, just like I was joking about LD. :)

Hey, don't worry Yoshisaurus, we're cool, and I'm glad you enjoy this, because I'm already posting my next chapter. You'll probably be happy to know that the chapters following this one will have loooottts of yoshis. OK, everyone, enjoy.


Chapter Three~Amp’s Bass

It was late at night, about eleven-thirty when Mario returned to the music store. From the parking lot he could here Luigi tooting on a new kazoo on the curb. He was playing the Overworld song from SMB. “Hey look, bro,” He shouted, “a brand new kazoo!” “That’s great. Now time to get my guitar,” Mario replied. He stormed in and found Amp asleep with his feet propped on the desk. Mario shook him awake with the bag of money in his hand. “I believe I have enough money for a guitar,” Mario said. “Oh,” Amp croaked, rubbing his eyes as he stretched and stumbled over to grab Mario’s guitar. They exchanged the guitar and money, and as Mario was leaving Amp stopped him. “W-wait, man,” he stuttered, “you’re planning on founding a band right?” “Yeah,” Mario said, “how did you know?” “Well,” Amp explained, “only the best rockers bought their first guitars here, even the all-famous Rip Toad. I saw them start; I knew that they were heading out to found a band. Mario, I know it would only help you to include me in your band. I know it, and plus check out my skills with a bass.” Amp grabbed a bass from the wall, plugged into an amp, and played for Mario. His fingers were flying all over the neck of the bass. He played a tune that opened Mario’s ears further to the magic of rock n’ roll. It was the best bass rhythm that you could imagine. He played the highest and lowest notes with ease and knew which went together. Mario knew that he had just found his bassist. When Amp was finished, he said, “Mario, if you let me join your band, I’ll teach you everything you need to know about guitar. Plus I’ll always be there as your trusty bass.” Mario eagerly accepted, and he told Luigi to rent a hotel room in Mushroom City, because he and Amp would be setting off to find their back-up guitarist…who lived on Yoshi’s Island. In our next chapter, Amp and Mario will set off to sea to reach Yoshi’s Island, but they will truly face the troubles of the deep blue. Plus they don’t know what dangers will behold them when they try to find Yoshi on his island. Find out in the following chapters.

Luigiandpeachey: Just a hunch, but I think that you're Mariosassistant!

You know perfectly well that there should be a signature here. Well, I know too. Don''t get yourself caught up in the illusion that this is a signature- because it''s not.

[Ambulance Y]

Uh, no i'm not. You know mariosassitant in real life. I'm guessing you saw his email which is ledzepfan91@yahoo.com or something like that. That is just because mariosassistant (WHO YOU KNOW IN REAL LIFE) also enjoys the musical stylings of ledzeppelin, plus i made that email for him.

New chapter. (And so far, in my opinion, the best yet.) Plus there are three deaths! :D

ENJOY!!!


Chapter Four~Voyage on the Blooper Sea

It was dark and raining the next day as Mario and Amp set off to the coast of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario was in front concentrating on the road while Amp was in the back eating a greasy breakfast burrito and listening to his iPod. When they got to the coast Mario wasn’t sure if they could sail. The waves on the Blooper Sea were wild that morning, and thunder flashed across the sky, but it was a risk Mario was willing to take. There was a small shack that had a large sign that said: Admiral Bobbery’s Boat Rental Shack, and the subtitle read, “Beware of Scurvy, Mates!” Mario would again meet one of his great friends, Bobbery. He entered and Bobbery shouted, “Aaar! It be Mario!” and he gave Mario a pat on the back. “So, you be looking to rent a boat?” he asked. “Yeah!” Mario exclaimed, happy to meet Bobbery again. “Well, we only got one left for ye,” he sighed, “and it’s the worst one. Yes it is in fine condition, and it sails like a dream, but it WONT STOP TALKING!” Mario looked out side the window, and discovered that the boat was The King of Red Lions! “Aw, great,” Mario mumbled, “he is such a chatterbox! I know. I’ve played the game!” “Now off with ye, but not with ye money,” Bobbery said, “that’ll be fifty-AAAUGH!” He crumpled to the ground because Amp punched him in the face. “Why did you do that!?” Mario yelled. “Hey, with my music download fees, I can’t afford to pay for that,” he said. So, Mario and Amp grabbed a sail and trotted down the dock to their new boat “friend.” The King of Red Lions was singing “Walk this Way” in an opera tone, and it was even worse than Luigi and his kazoo. The King of Red Lions ****ed his head towards Mario and said in a hyper rush, “Ohhii’mthekingofredlionssayareyougoingtorentmeorwhatbecauseireallywanttosail!” “Uh….yeah….” Mario said, his eyes as wide as saucers, staring at this strange hyperactive talking boat. He posted the sail, and he and Amp set off across the Blooper Sea. Bloopers were jumping in and out of the water, even in the murky weather, and every time Mario looked down at the water, there would always be a huge shadow moving by, and he instantly looked away. Amp taught Mario guitar lessons on the way, and they just ignored the King’s constant blabbering from everything from pop-tarts to dung beetles. Mario worked long and hard hours on the guitar, and he fingers swelled up, and one time burst out in blood from all this grueling finger work. Amp taught him chords, how to make a radical solo, lead guitar, and everything! As a few hours went by, Mario was good enough to play Stairway to Heaven, and at a really good part, the King said, “heyiknowthatsongisn’titby…um…Leed Zupplian.” “Shut up you CENSORED DUE TO FORUM RULES,” Amp yelled, and bashed him over the head with his bass. This same loop kept on happening for quite some time, when they eventually spotted Yoshi’s Island on the horizon. “w00t!” Amp screamed with joy. Everything was all better, the King stopped blabbering as much, Mario got even better on the guitar with this motivation, and even the sky was clearing up. But, that all changed when a gargantuan shadow appeared ahead of their boat. It was twice as big as Yoshi’s Island! It turned out to be the infamous Evil Demonic Blooper of the Blooper Sea. It jumped up and swallowed up the King and his two passengers, Amp and Mario.

2 hours later…

His eyelids opened and closed as he awoke in a daze, and Mario found himself in the blooper’s belly. Amp and the King were next to him, awake. “Hey you’re awake,” Amp exclaimed, “Now we can get out of here!” “yeahbutihaveaproblemguys,I’mslippingonthisstomachmaterialandimightfallinthatstocmachacidisurehopei…AAAAAH!!!” And then the King fell into the stomach acid and dissolved to a fine mush. There was an awkward silence and then Amp shouted, “Thank you God!” Suddenly a large spear flew through the stomach, just missing Mario’s head. Amp and Mario were flung around in the stomach, and then every thing stopped. There was a soft rumble under both of their feet. They looked down at the acid, and it was gurgling. Amp said, “THIS FISH IS GONNA VOMIT!!!” They we’re propelled to the fish’s mouth, getting soaked with vomit and the King’s remains. The blooper was lying on its side on a beach, they landed on some sand. The blooper had been caught by some sort of tribe, see, neither Mario nor Amp could see anything, because Amp’s eyes were covered with vomit, and Mario had the King’s severed head shoved on his. Amp rubbed his eyes, and Mario took the head off, expecting to see a tribe of happy Yoshis. What they saw was a sinister tribe of Shy Guys…on Yoshi’s Island???

To Be Continued…

PS-Mario’s guitar, and Amp’s Bass made it out of the belly fine.

I'd thank you for doing my job for me, but if censoring was necessary... *flexes right hand* Heh, heh. Ha.
