Chapter
22
To
the final castle
“How
in the world are we going to find Rainbow road?” Luigi asks Mario.
“I don’t know. Let’s look around.”
Mario and Luigi go around Toad Town, asking
everybody where rainbow road is. No luck.
“That was completely pointless.” Luigi says.
“Well there’s one place we haven’t checked
yet.”
“Where’s that?”
“The message board.”
They go over and read the message board which just
talking about how dangerous old trampolines can be. It also has an ad for
plumbing. Mario rips off that ad and replaces it with their plumbing ad.
“No luck.” Mario says.
But Luigi looks behind the message board.
“What the heck are you doing?”
“It’s the Toad Underground news. Doesn’t look
like it’s her-. HEY! I FOUND IT!”
Mario rushes over and reads what’s written there.
“Getting tired of all the race tracks here? Take
a new and exciting race at Rainbow Road!”
To make a very long story short, the Mario brothers
book a race time on rainbow road. They are then magically transported to Rainbow
Road. If you want to know why they had to be magically transported, Rainbow Road
is in space. It is a road made of a rainbow, hence the name.
“How can we breathe?” Luigi asks Mario.
“?”
They walk on the road until they see Bowser’s
castle floating in the sky. It is a ways away from the track though. Plus, where
the closest place to the castle is, there is another Hammer Bro. This one is
very big though.
“DON’T TAKE ANOTHER STEP!”
“But we’re just taking a walk.” Mario says.
“Yeah right. I have orders from the top to not
let two plumbers through. I was also told to especially not let two plumbers
wearing green and red through.”
“You’re not seeing those colors, you’re just
color blind.” Mario says.
“Look, you can’t fool me, and you certainly
can’t fight me and win.”
“You know, you’re right.” Mario says. “But
that doesn’t matter. Come here Mikey!”
“That stupid author doesn’t scare me!”
“It’s not the author, its much, much worse.”
Michael Jackson walks up to the Hammer Bro and
starts singing and dancing. Mario and Luigi plug their ears, but the Hammer Bro
isn’t as lucky.
“AHHHH! THE SINGING!!! THE DANCING!!! THE UGLY
FACE!!!”
The Hammer Bro jumps off the edge and dies.
“Luigi,” Mario says, “only we can do the deed
that will benefit all of mankind.”
After saying this, Mario and Luigi push Michael
Jackson off the edge.
“NOOOO! I’LL HAVE TO GET MORE PLASTIC
SURGERY!!!” Michael screams as he plummets off the edge.
“Well, that solves that problem,” Luigi says,
but how are we going to get across?”
All of a sudden, a voice echoes through the air.
“We six will gather our power to create a bridge
to the evil ones lair.”
A bridge appears leading to Bowser’s castle.
“Interesting.” Mario says.
“Yeees. Very interesting.”
They cross and are at the entrance to the castle.
One problem; it’s guarded by seven Hammer Bros.
“We don’t know how you got past the other
guard, but we won’t let you get past us!”
“Mario.”
“Yeah.”
“We’re in trouble.”
“Thank you for rescuing me! But our
princess is in another castle!”
“What was that?”
“I
don’t know.”
“Thank you for rescuing me! But our
princess is in another castle!”
“It’s
getting louder!”
The Mario brothers look behind them to see all
seven toads running towards them. One has a rock implanted in his head, one is
covered in sand, one has the front side of his body smashed in, one is dripping
wet and has blue lips, one is covered with burn marks, one is covered with
sewage, and one has frost bite all over it.
“Thank
you for rescuing me! But our princess is in another castle!”
“MAKE
IT STOP!” One of the guards screams.
All the toads line up, and yell the evil line all
at once. Mario and Luigi cover their ears.
“THANK YOU FOR RESCUING ME! BUT OUR
PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!”
“AHHH!!!”
The guards die of internal hemorrhage.
“Well, the entrance is wide open. Let’s go!”
The Mario brothers walk into the final castle…
But wait! Another figure walks across the bridge
and into the c
