Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, once again bringing in another chapter to the fanfic! The Space Observatory arc started off pretty decent. I may have started a bit off, but details, who needs ‘em? So anyway, I do not own any of the Mario characters or any of the iDOLMMASTER characters; the Mario characters belong to Nintendo and the iDOLMASTER characters belong to Namco Bandai. So with all that aside, let’s jump to light speed back to the action!
..Oh and if anybody’s interested, they can do some fan work based on the fanfic. They don’t have to do that though; I’m just asking out of kindness and curiousity!
*Opening Theme: “Baby’s Tears” by Riyu Kosaka (Sky Girls/ Dance Dance Revoultion)*

**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 32
Dino Piranha Inbound! Brace for a Gassy Experience?!
*Rosalina’s Comet Observatory ~ Crystal Riddled Observatory*
*Insert Theme: “Eternal Star” (Mario Party)*
The party, despite the crystallizing delay caused by King Bowser, went to a rousing start. Evryone who is participating (Takane, Azusa, Mami, Ayane, Yoshi, Wario, and Hammer Bro) already began to make their moves. While the moves were being enacted, Rosalina and Benjamin quietly watch the action.
“Say.. Rose, I’ve been wondering... once this part of the party is over.. you’re letting me go, right?” Benjamin asked Rosalina, who gave a calm smile.
“I wish I could let you stay longer... however, the hands of fate each guide us on our own path, and your path has you aiding the Idols, as well as Mario and Luigi even further. It’s pretty much safe to assume that I will not have any say on what you must do.” The princess of the Comet Observatory gave her answer.
“So.. does that mean?” The now heterochromatic Luma beamed to which Rosalina closed her eyes and gave a calm smile.
“Yes... you have my permission to take leave from my service. Concerning the situation with the catalyst to this calmity at hand, it would seem Mario, as well as the brave Idols, will have need of your help in the future. But anyways, let us return our attention to the party, shall we?” Rosalina smiled as she turned her attention to the party, in which the first turn ended and the next mini game was to be decided. As the game was chosen, a small group of Lumas who managed to escape transformed into large Launch Stars, launching the players to a distant part of the universe to do the mini game.
“Wha... where is everyone going?!” Ritsuko’s jaw dropped as the contestants literally “flew” across the cosmos. Meanwhile, a large screen appeared on the panel where Rosalina kept in overview of the galaxies in the solar system where the Mushroom Kingdom is based within for everyone to see
“My monitor is now showing where the contenders will have the mini game. Do not worry, for I also have some of my children ready as well.. by the look of things, they are heading to the galaxy where your second adventure in the cosmos started, Mario.” Rosalina points out and informs the red plumber.
“You mean... Sky-a Station Galaxy?” Mario realizes where the two teams were sent.
“Yes... for this case, I decided to put something special. You remember Dino Piranha?” Rosalina turned to Mario, who began to recall the creature.
“Oh yeah... I first-a met it at da Good-a Egg Galaxy when I flew straight into its egg! ..Wait, you mean??” The heroic plumber began to realize where Rosalina was going with this.
“Bowser revived it soon after his attack on the Observatory. Even in that crystallized state, I could sense its power. But this time, I decided to make a mini game out of the battle. Whichever team finishes off Dino Piranha first is the winner and each member will receive 10 Star Bits.”
“Cleva... let’sa see how dis goes...” Mario smiled, while Ritsuko became uncertain how the event goes.
*End Theme*
*Sky Station Galaxy ~ Dino Piranha’s Moon*
*Insert Theme: “Dream Spacewalk ~ Into the Sea of Stars (Super Mario Galaxy)” (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)*
The chosen members of both Team Mario and 765 Pro began to circle around in flight. Mami felt on top of the world being truly able to fly at the moment. “Whee! This is really fun! Wish Ami could experience THIS!!”
“Ara, you’re enjoying this as well, Mami?” Azusa smiled happily, with Takane and Ayane watching as they flew to the Sky Station itself.
“So this is what actually being part of the party is like? Amazing! Yet, I really don’t get why Yumeko doesn’t want to take part..” The Lolita sensation exclaimed then wondered for a bit.. Fortunately, the Silver Queen was able to get her focus back together.
“She’s going to miss out if she drops out now. Anyways, we seem to be heading to the building, as well as the other team.” Takane responded, while also looking at the ecstatic Hammer Bro, holding his now glittering hammer, and Boo, who felt like it could fly. Wario, on the other hand, was not amused, seeing as he will NOT earn any Coins this time in this event, unlucky him!
Just as all teams of four land at the station, on a nearby moon, Dino Piranha violently hatched out of its egg and gave an ear-splitting cry, scaring the nearby Luma to the station. The Lumas scramble toward the two teams of four, and without hesitation, transform into Launch Stars around the contestanats and launch the teams into battle.
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Dream Spacewalk ~ Sky Station Galaxy 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)” (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)*
The team of Takane, Azusa, Mami, and Ayane took to the air and began to fly near to Dino Piranha in size up their attack before actually doing it, as well as the team of Yoshi, Wario, Boo, and Hammer Bro. Of course, the overgrown dinosaur with flower petals was not going to make things easy for the groups as it fired out fireballs from its mouth, in a patient attempt to shoot the participants out of the sky.
“YOW! What are we all, target practice??” Yoshi frowned as a fireball nearly hit him.
“Well, don’t just flutter about and think of something!!” Wario shouted out as he, despite his heavy weight, dodged another fireball.
Takane, leading the Idols’ group, saw an opening in the overgrown dino’s attacks. “Now!” Together, the four Idol began to spiral towards and rammed into the dino’s face, knocking a few of the the flower petals on its frame loose.
*WHAM!!*
Dino Piranha gave out a shrill cry of pain, however, its purple head managed to keep its cool, as it decided to shoot more fireballs. Yoshi, leading his group, called out with a determined look on its face, “Evasive maneuvers... ON THE DOUBLE!!!” Both teams quickly dodge, even Boo mustered its strength to use its natural invisibility ability to make the attack “go through him”. “Whew... almost got cooked there!”
“You’re telling me! I just washed this shell!!” Hammer Bro frowned looking at the smudge left on his black iron-tough shell when one of the fireballs grazed it. Fortunately for the two, Yoshi and Wario flew right towards the dino’s tail, making it retract like an extended rubber band, and return, hitting Dino Piranha straight in the back of the forehead!
*BONK!*
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Dream Spacewalk ~ Dino Piranha (Super Mario Galaxy)” (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)*
Greatly angered by the attacks, Dino Piranha’s purple head with white spots changed into a bright red hue, with steam popping out of its pores, the now furious creature began firing its fireballs at a faster pace. The two teams were left busy trying to dodge the attacks to make any sort of attack.
“Agghhh!! What’ll we do, Ohime-chan??” Mami yelped as a fireball nearly had the chance to singe her side ponytail.
“Keep calm. There has to be a way to get past this dinosaur’s attacks, but by the ways things are going, even Yoshi-chan is having a hard time.” Takane responded while she quietly glared at the angered creature.
Hammer Bro, thinking he saw an opening, decided to let loose a hammer barrage with multiple hammers out of nowhere! ..Sadly, he only succeeded in making the creature madder.
“Rats! Thought that would work!!” The armored Koopa snapped its fingers in a gritted frown.
“Bah, let me show you how a professional does it!” Wario flew forward and readied himself. “Ooh, I was hoping to save this whenever I see that darn scallywag Syrup again, but whatever, right? WARIO WAFT!!!” With that he let out.... a really powerful fart!
*Insert Sound Effect: ”REALLY loud fart”*
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Hightail Falls Galaxy” (Super Mario Galaxy 2) (A remix of the ol’ Athletic Theme from Super Mario World!)
...Unfortunately, aside from Dino Piranha, who gasped for air and held its breath, neither of the rest of Team Mario or the chosen Idols were all unable to escape the horrid garlic flavored stench of Wario’s noxious gas.
(Yoshi) OH... YUCK!!!!!
(Hammer Bro) Aghh!! My nostrils!!
(Boo) Even as a ghost, this just STINKS!!!
(Takane) How uncouth!
(Mami) Gross!!!
(Azusa) Ara... my nose...
(Ayane) Ewwww!!!!!
Wario looked at the group reeling badly in the stench and shrugged, realizing his goof up! “Oops, heh... sorry.”
*Rosalina’s Comet Observatory ~ Main Hub*
Back at the Observatory, everyone froze at the sight of the gas cloud Wario emitted, even Rosalina was at a loss of what words to say. Wal;uigi, for once. Pressed his gloved hand on his face, “Wario, what were you thinking?”
“This... is just too gross....” Ritsuko frowned, wanting to cover her nose.
“Dat’s-a Wario for you...always-a full of surprises....” Mario sweatdropped.
“Not to mention a lack of care for hygiene.. I did remember him picking his nose before the event...” Producer-san added. Ami and Eri began to worry if Mami and Ayane will recover from something noxious like this.... especially Eri, knowing this is Ayane’s first go in the Party.
Rosalina then finally had a chance to speak. “..Well anyways, as unorthodox the method was, Dino Piranha is still reeling. Let’s see which team will have a chance to strike.”
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Gym Leader ~ Last Pokémon” (Pokémon Black and White)*
*Sky Station Galaxy ~ Dino Piranha’s Moon*
Takane, somehow able to get the smell of Wario’s stinky gas out of her nostrils, regained her composure as she stared at Dino Piranha.
“Okay.. so I’ve gotten that smell out of my nose... hmm? It seems the flowery dinosaur’s also affected.. Now’s my chance!” Takane thought to herself before grabbing Azusa’s hand.
“Ara?” Azusa looked at Takane as she reached for Mami’s hand.
“Trust me on this.” Takane grinned in a confident, yet elegant manner worthy of her peputation. “Ayane, you want to join in for the last attack?”
“The Lolita sensation, finally able to get the stench off her face, looked at Takane’s magenta eyes for a moment. Realizing the resolve in the eyes of the Silver Queen, Ayane grinned. “I never knew how exciting things could get, but now that I’m here, let’s make the most of things, shall we?”
Taking the Lolita’s answer as a “yes”, Takane managed to lead the group for one final attack. However, that did not go unnoticed as Wario noticed the Silver Queen’s attempt to end the battle quickly!
“You guys!!! She’s getting the win from right under our noses!!” The lovable tub of lard alerted the group of Yoshi, Hammer Bro, and Boo, who scrambled to from up with Mario’s rival. However, by sick chance, a satellite from the Mushroom Kingdom flew by and collided with Wario, taking him with it.
“WAAAAAAAAAA.....!” Wario’s voice echoed until it was too far for anyone to hear. Shame that in space, no one can hear him belch now after that...
Dino Piranha, after a while, managed to shake the smell of Wario’s fart off its nostrils, but too late did it do so, as the group of Takane, Azusa, Mami, and Ayane made a quick beeline for the creature’s tail, knocking it to the side and retract it towards the head once more, knocking the last of its flower petals off its frame. With one last cry, Dino Piranha exploded in a blast of purple smoke.
*End Theme*
*Rosalina’s Comet Observatory ~ Crystal Riddled Observatory*
*Insert Theme: “Comet Observatory 1” (Super Mario Galaxy)*
All participants returned by flight back to the main runway where Rosalina appeared in wait.... well, everyone, that is, except for Wario.
“Very well done, Team 765 Pro. It seems Mario knew what he was doing when he invited your entire group to the party. I wish I would join, but who can watch over the cosmos in my absence right with all these incidents? Thinking things over, I am happy to take part as host.” Rosalina sighed.
“Don’t-a worry, Rose! You were doing your job well, despite how things went earlier.” Benjamin assured the cosmic princess.
“Any-a-ways, you all-a did-a very good! Hamma Bro, Boo, Yoshi, you three didn’t-a do too bad either!” Mario smiled but then realized someone was missing form the group... again... and Azusa is still present...
“Hey-a Bro, whatta happened to Wario?” Luigi asked his brother.
“Do you think he went missing during the battle?” Producer-san asked while scratching his head. He thought at first that Bowser may have done something to him, but then remembered the obese rival of Mario would very much be on the list of least likely people to kidnap, concerning his behavior. Waluigi, fortunately, caught a glimpse of a satellite from the Mushroom Kingdom orbiting the planet.. as well as someone latching helplessly on it.
“Hey guys! Isn’t that...?”
*End Theme with Record Scratch sound*
*Orbital Satellite*
*Insert Theme: “Shirla and Goose” (Legend of Heroes 3: White Witch/ Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch)*
Wario clutched the edge of the orbiting satellite, hoping to not end up helplessly flutter through space. “SOMEBODY, HELP ME OUT HERE!!! MAMMA MIA, THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!” The chubby treasure lover yelped angrily to no avail as he tried to maintain his grip.
“Wha... how’d he get stuck there?” Ritsuko stared dumbfoundedly at the hooligan.
“Ara... Wario- must’ve had a collision course with the satellite there during the battle...’ Azusa smiled nervously, knowing that she heard a smacking sound during the last bits of the battle.
“Wow, this looks like fun, doesn’t it Mami?” Ami smiled to her twin sister.
“Yeah! Why’s Wario hogging all the fun, though? Party pooper!” Mami pouted, which dissatisfied the chubby miscreant.
“..I wouldn’t call that ‘fun’.. Personally, I’d call it ‘embarrassing’.” Iori frowned with her hands on her hips and Yoshi nodding in agreement, not caring that he lost the challenge as well..
“Ditto on that, Iori.” Yumeko pressed her palm on her forehead.
“Glad you three know how I’m feeling right now. But now will the chatter stop and SOMEBODY GET ME DOWN?! ..Ugh, I’m getting sick of this..” Wario shouted, not wanting to be the whipping boy for the jokes right now.
“Hmmhmm... as much as it is amusing, I’d better get him off..” Rosalina sighed, before rising upwards into the sea of space and grabbing Wario by the arm. Letting the satellite go, Rosalina, with Wario in tow, descended back to the Observatory.
*End Theme*
*Rosalina’s Comet Observatory ~ Crystal Riddled Observatory*
*Insert theme: “Evil King Bowser Here” (Super Paper Mario)*
Wario, on his knees trying to catch his breath, was too tired to say a word.
“Anyway, I guess things should be okay for the time being...” Benjamin smiled, though something seemed to be on his mind. Of course, Mario was sharp enough to know and understand what the heterochromatic shape shifter was thinking.
“..You’re-a wondering why-a Bowsa has not appeared yet, right? Knowing him, he’s-a plannin’ something big... like dat galaxy in da Center of the Universe.” The red plumber spoke, which was enough to get the shapeshifter’s attention.
“I hear you Mario, but what also worries is the Koopa King’s son.” Benjamin responded, which led Mario to raise an eyebrow.
“Bowsa Junia??” Mario responded in a skeptical tone.
“Makoto really did deal out some punishment last event, and no doubt he’s going to want some revenge. The only question is.. HOW is he going to do that?” Benjamin answered as he turned his gaze to the very Idol in question, who is currently chatting with Yukiho, Ryou, and Yumeko at the moment.
“..Good-a question.. but I don’t think-a we should-a tell her about that.. that would-a give her some unneeded stress...” Mario quietly suggested, enough that Makoto didn’t hear.
“Hey, uh... Mario-san, Benjamin-san? Did you both say something?” The very Idol turned and looked at the chatting duo.
“Uh, wel, uh... we were-a wondering when-a Bowsa might-a show up and-a try to mess with things again! Yeah, that’s-a it! Hoohoohoo!” Mario put his gloved hand and laughed.
Makoto gave a skeptical look, but decided to save asking the question for another time as Yukiho and Ryou called her over.
“..Whew... close shave there...” Benjamin sighed as he looked at Mario.
“Yeah... any-a-way, we should keep our guards up just-a in case!” Mario suggested the two rejoined the group. Little did the two know, they were being watched from a far distance.
*End Theme*
*Center of the Universe*
*Insert Theme: “Bowser’s Lava Lair” (Super Mario Galaxy 2)*
Bowser and Kammy Koopa watch the action through the old crone’s crystal ball and they have a few laughs concerning Wario’s blunder.
“Bwa ha ha... while I’m not one to trust that overweight doofus, he, as well as his skinny lackey have become real hilarious lately. It’s hard to get mad when those two get a taste of their own medicine!” The mighty Koopa King laughed with glee.
“Yes, Your Delightedness, it sure is a wonder thes two managed to somehow keep things entertaining while we plan our next part of the plan... er, I mean YOUR plan!” Kammy cackled with glee.
Just then, Kamek flew over, with a now healthy Bowser Jr. in tow. “Lord Bowser, the construction of... ‘that’... is going along smoothly. Also, the young Lord wishes to see you personally.” The Magikoopa informed the devious duo.
“Very well then, Kamek, continue the efforts of the plan there. By the way things are going, we’ll continue holding off the Grand Doomship for now. Besides, I’ve heard one of the galaxies has plenty of the material we need for the nitros and the additional armor plating. Head there and deliver the blueprints to the one leading the search as well.” Bowser issued his order, to which Kamek saluted before flying off.
“Now then, Junior, what have you come for?” The Koopa King turned to his son.
“ I’ve noticed the Idols and Mario breaking the crystals we made from our newly made ‘Cry-STILL Bills’. That was just irritating, all the hard work Iggy made, blown to bits by that crazy Idol who whacked me. So I was thinking of something that would even the score.” The Koopa Prince responded in a miffed manner.
“Alright then, tell me.” Bowser accepted, and the Koopa Prince whispered into his father’s ear of his plan, which brough delight to the Koopa King’s ear.
“Wow, aren’t we being a little on the cunning side here?” Bowser grinned happ[ily.
“Yep! Sooner or later the table will turn on HER!” Bowser Jr. smiled as he boarded one of the airships and took off.
Satisfied of his son is planning, Bowser turned to a bright orange glowing sphere, which looked to be a newborn star. “Soon, my new Empire in the cosmos will be ready once again... and this time Mario will NOT get in my way!”
*End Theme*
Uh oh... what does Bowser Jr. have in store for Makoto? Nothing good, that’s for certain! Anyway,it seems the cleaning up of the Observatory, as well as bracing for what Bowser is planning, is just getting started! Will Mario and the Idols see this through? Stay tuned and find out!
..On one side note, I checked something on Mario Wiki and found odd info that Rosalina will appear in a future Mario Party game as an NPC.. at a space themed board! I’m befuddled! To think the fanfic’s board came earlier... my mind just blew a fuse!
Also, the mini boss battle is based on the Dream Event in “Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games”.

“Very well done, Team 765 Pro. It seems Mario knew what he was doing when he invited your entire group to the party. I wish I would join, but who can watch over the cosmos in my absence right with all these incidents? Thinking things over, I am happy to take part as host.” Rosalina sighed.
“Don’t-a worry, Rose! You were doing your job well, despite how things went earlier.” Benjamin assured the cosmic princess.
“Any-a-ways, you all-a did-a very good! Hamma Bro, Boo, Yoshi, you three didn’t-a do too bad either!” Mario smiled but then realized someone was missing form the group... again... and Azusa is still present...
“Hey-a Bro, whatta happened to Wario?” Luigi asked his brother.
“Do you think he went missing during the battle?” Producer-san asked while scratching his head. He thought at first that Bowser may have done something to him, but then remembered the obese rival of Mario would very much be on the list of least likely people to kidnap, concerning his behavior. Waluigi, fortunately, caught a glimpse of a satellite from the Mushroom Kingdom orbiting the planet.. as well as someone latching helplessly on it.
“Hey guys! Isn’t that...?”

Wario clutched the edge of the orbiting satellite, hoping to not end up helplessly flutter through space. “SOMEBODY, HELP ME OUT HERE!!! MAMMA MIA, THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!” The chubby treasure lover yelped angrily to no avail as he tried to maintain his grip.
“Wha... how’d he get stuck there?” Ritsuko stared dumbfoundedly at the hooligan.
“Ara... Wario- must’ve had a collision course with the satellite there during the battle...’ Azusa smiled nervously, knowing that she heard a smacking sound during the last bits of the battle.
“Wow, this looks like fun, doesn’t it Mami?” Ami smiled to her twin sister.
“Yeah! Why’s Wario hogging all the fun, though? Party pooper!” Mami pouted, which dissatisfied the chubby miscreant.
“..I wouldn’t call that ‘fun’.. Personally, I’d call it ‘embarrassing’.” Iori frowned with her hands on her hips and Yoshi nodding in agreement, not caring that he lost the challenge as well..
“Ditto on that, Iori.” Yumeko pressed her palm on her forehead.
“Glad you three know how I’m feeling right now. But now will the chatter stop and SOMEBODY GET ME DOWN?! ..Ugh, I’m getting sick of this..” Wario shouted, not wanting to be the whipping boy for the jokes right now.
“Hmmhmm... as much as it is amusing, I’d better get him off..” Rosalina sighed, before rising upwards into the sea of space and grabbing Wario by the arm. Letting the satellite go, Rosalina, with Wario in tow, descended back to the Observatory.

Wario, on his knees trying to catch his breath, was too tired to say a word.
“Anyway, I guess things should be okay for the time being...” Benjamin smiled, though something seemed to be on his mind. Of course, Mario was sharp enough to know and understand what the heterochromatic shape shifter was thinking.
“..You’re-a wondering why-a Bowsa has not appeared yet, right? Knowing him, he’s-a plannin’ something big... like dat galaxy in da Center of the Universe.” The red plumber spoke, which was enough to get the shapeshifter’s attention.
“I hear you Mario, but what also worries is the Koopa King’s son.” Benjamin responded, which led Mario to raise an eyebrow.
“Bowsa Junia??” Mario responded in a skeptical tone.
“Makoto really did deal out some punishment last event, and no doubt he’s going to want some revenge. The only question is.. HOW is he going to do that?” Benjamin answered as he turned his gaze to the very Idol in question, who is currently chatting with Yukiho, Ryou, and Yumeko at the moment.
“..Good-a question.. but I don’t think-a we should-a tell her about that.. that would-a give her some unneeded stress...” Mario quietly suggested, enough that Makoto didn’t hear.
“Hey, uh... Mario-san, Benjamin-san? Did you both say something?” The very Idol turned and looked at the chatting duo.
“Uh, wel, uh... we were-a wondering when-a Bowsa might-a show up and-a try to mess with things again! Yeah, that’s-a it! Hoohoohoo!” Mario put his gloved hand and laughed.
Makoto gave a skeptical look, but decided to save asking the question for another time as Yukiho and Ryou called her over.
“..Whew... close shave there...” Benjamin sighed as he looked at Mario.
“Yeah... any-a-way, we should keep our guards up just-a in case!” Mario suggested the two rejoined the group. Little did the two know, they were being watched from a far distance.

Bowser and Kammy Koopa watch the action through the old crone’s crystal ball and they have a few laughs concerning Wario’s blunder.
“Bwa ha ha... while I’m not one to trust that overweight doofus, he, as well as his skinny lackey have become real hilarious lately. It’s hard to get mad when those two get a taste of their own medicine!” The mighty Koopa King laughed with glee.
“Yes, Your Delightedness, it sure is a wonder thes two managed to somehow keep things entertaining while we plan our next part of the plan... er, I mean YOUR plan!” Kammy cackled with glee.
Just then, Kamek flew over, with a now healthy Bowser Jr. in tow. “Lord Bowser, the construction of... ‘that’... is going along smoothly. Also, the young Lord wishes to see you personally.” The Magikoopa informed the devious duo.
“Very well then, Kamek, continue the efforts of the plan there. By the way things are going, we’ll continue holding off the Grand Doomship for now. Besides, I’ve heard one of the galaxies has plenty of the material we need for the nitros and the additional armor plating. Head there and deliver the blueprints to the one leading the search as well.” Bowser issued his order, to which Kamek saluted before flying off.
“Now then, Junior, what have you come for?” The Koopa King turned to his son.
“ I’ve noticed the Idols and Mario breaking the crystals we made from our newly made ‘Cry-STILL Bills’. That was just irritating, all the hard work Iggy made, blown to bits by that crazy Idol who whacked me. So I was thinking of something that would even the score.” The Koopa Prince responded in a miffed manner.
“Alright then, tell me.” Bowser accepted, and the Koopa Prince whispered into his father’s ear of his plan, which brough delight to the Koopa King’s ear.
“Wow, aren’t we being a little on the cunning side here?” Bowser grinned happ[ily.
“Yep! Sooner or later the table will turn on HER!” Bowser Jr. smiled as he boarded one of the airships and took off.
Satisfied of his son is planning, Bowser turned to a bright orange glowing sphere, which looked to be a newborn star. “Soon, my new Empire in the cosmos will be ready once again... and this time Mario will NOT get in my way!”
*End Theme*
Uh oh... what does Bowser Jr. have in store for Makoto? Nothing good, that’s for certain! Anyway,it seems the cleaning up of the Observatory, as well as bracing for what Bowser is planning, is just getting started! Will Mario and the Idols see this through? Stay tuned and find out!
..On one side note, I checked something on Mario Wiki and found odd info that Rosalina will appear in a future Mario Party game as an NPC.. at a space themed board! I’m befuddled! To think the fanfic’s board came earlier... my mind just blew a fuse!
Also, the mini boss battle is based on the Dream Event in “Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games”.
