Chapter
21
The
Frozen Castle
They enter and see two Stalfos, but they are frozen
in ice. There are ice mirrors everywhere also.
“What’s with the mirrors?” Luigi asks Mario.
“So I can look at my gorgeous self.” Mario says
as he gazes into one of the mirrors. After Mario finally stops, they go into the
next room. They see one angry looking Hammer Bro on the bridge leading into the
next room.
“Hey Mario, go talk to it.”
“But it might hit me!”
“So?”
“I will get hurt!”
“So?”
“That will inflict pain!”
“SO?”
“SO WATCH ME MAKE YOU GO TALK TO IT!”
Mario picks up Luigi and throws him at the Hammer
Bro. Luigi lands right at its feet. The Hammer Bro does not
look happy.
“Umm, hello Mister Hammer Bro.”
“ERRR.”
“Umm, may we pass?”
“ERRR!”
“Well that’s not very
nice!”
“Errr?”
“No it isn’t. You need some fun in your
life.”
“Errr.”
“Hear, take these small jacket. You can make sock
puppets out of them.”
The Hammer Bro immediately starts playing with
them. However, he is pretending that the jackets are the Mario bros and hit one
of the sock puppets as hard as he can. Unfortunately, it is on his hand, so he
hits himself, yelps with pain, and falls off the edge.
“Way to go Luigi! I couldn’t have done better.
Actually I could. I’m just making you feel better.”
“Riiight.”
They continue on until the reach the boss door.
“Hey Mario. Could we switch clothes?”
“NO! YOU DERANGED PERVERT! But out of curiosity,
why do you ask?”
“Because something always happens that I can’t
fight the boss. If we switch clothes, maybe you’ll get captured instead of me
and I can fight the boss.”
“No.”
“Please?”
“NO!”
“Pretty please?”
“NO!!”
“Pretty p-.”
“NO!!!”
“Fine. Be that way.”
“I will.”
They finally decide to walk in together. They do
so, but a icicle from the ceiling falls in between them, forcing them to
separate. Luigi then slips into some water and get frozen.
“Luigi? Are you alright?”
Luigi’s curses are muffled by the ice. All of a
sudden, all the ice around them melts; expect the one Luigi’s frozen in of
course. Now Mario is standing on a platform just like in Super Mario World.
Bowser appears in his copter clown.
“YOU CAN’T BEAT ME NOW MARIO! BWAH HA HA HA HA
HA HA!!!”
“Shut up and start throwing the Mecha Koopas already.”
“Do you really think I’m that stupid?”
“Yes.”
“I’m not though. I’m not throwing anything
you can throw back at me this time! I shall be triumphant!”
“Good idea! Why don’t you just throw some
Bomb-ombs?”
“I will. But they moment they hit anything, they
blow up!”
“Oh crud.” Mario says under his breath.”
“Prepare to die Mario!”
Bowser starts flying around in his Clown Copter and
chucks Bomb-ombs at Mario, who is having trouble dodging them. The shrapnel
keeps hitting him.
“Is that the best you can do?” Mario yells.
“No.”
Bowser reaches for the stick shift and puts it the
highest gear possible. However, he did it so hard that the stick rips off.
Bowser simply throws it over his back. Mario runs over to the stick and grabs
it. He then throws it at the propeller. It gets jammed, but the engine is still
running. The engine overheats and the clown copter explodes, sending Bowser
flying. Luigi is released from the ice and the bag floats down from the ceiling.
It opens and out comes the toad.
“Thank you for rescuing, but our princess is in
another castle!”
“Stop it now.” Mario says.
“Thank you for rescuing, but our princess is in
another castle!”
“DON’T TEST ME TOAD!”
“Thank you for rescuing, but our princess is in
another castle!”
“THAT’S IT!”
Mario picks up the toad and throws him in the
water. The toad freezes. Luigi looks over at the bag and notices that there is a
note attached. He reads it out loud.
“‘To get to the final castle, use the Rainbow
Road.’”
“Who wrote these notes?”
“Doesn’t matter, it’s helping us!”
To make another long story short, they go back to
toad town to find a way to get to Rainbow Road…
