Jedi Knight interviews Mario 

(5 minutes before the show)

 

(Jedi Knight is sitting backstage reading Star Wars Fanatic magazine waiting for Tetraforce, who promised him a backstage look at the show.  Suddenly, the phone rings.   Jedi Knight picks it up.)

 

“Hello?  Tetraforce is in the hospital again?  What happened?  Darth Vader chocked him?  Well then, I guess the show has to be cancelled.  What do you mean it can’t be cancelled?  I have to do the interview?  And I have to do all the interviews until Tetraforce gets well?  But he’s interviewing Nintendo characters! I know nothing about Nintendo!  He has a database of information on his computer?  All right, all right, I’ll do the interviews.

 

(Jedi Knight then dials another number into his telephone)

 

“Hi Darth, it’s Jedi Knight.  Yeah, it worked.  Now I don’t have to be bothered by that annoying moron for a while.  Thanks I owe you one.”

 

Announcer: Tetraforce is in the hospital today, so his friend Jedi Knight is filling in for him.

 

Jedi Knight:  Hi, everyone.  Hi Mario.  Now, first question.  (Looks through a bunch of hastily scribbled notes)  In the very first game you were in, Donkey Kong Junior, you were the bad guy, but in every other game you were in, you were the hero.  What caused this change?

 

Mario:  Well, it all depends on your perspective.  Donkey Kong had kidnapped a princess, so he had to caged away and punished.  But since you played as Donkey Kong Jr., I appeared as the bad guy.

 

Jedi Knight:  I see. Next question.  What game were you in that you hate the most?

 

Mario:  There’s actually three: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Paper

Mario, and Super Mario 64.

Jedi Knight:  Why do hate those games?

 

Mario:  For Mario RPG:  I kept getting thrown around like a hacky-sack, eaten, squashed, burnt, frozen, shot, blown up, turned into a scarecrow, turned into a mushroom, repeatedly dieing and then coming back to life, then dieing again, sliced, deiced, skewered, speared, bit, muted, shrunk, used by Bowser as a weapon, and having to see Smithy’s ugly face. I also had to stand Bowser’s smell, Mallow constantly crying and making it rain, and Geno repeatedly correcting everyone and having to say corny lines.

 

Jedi Knight:  Ah. What about Paper Mario?

 

Mario: First of all, everything was flat. Exactly how could you hit an enemy with a paper hammer? YOU DON’T! This was the only Mario game in which everyone was acting. Second of all, the game looked really, really kiddish.

 

Jedi Knight: Okay. What about Mario 64?

 

Mario: It was good. It was my first 3D experience. But some idiot found Yoshi and got one hundred lives. That idiot then kept killing me over, and over, and over again.

Jedi Knight:  Alrighty then.  Next question: What is your favorite power up?

 

Mario: The Wing Cap. It was really cool flying. Nintendo should put the Wing Cap in the next SSB.

 

Jedi Knight: What least favorite other Nintendo character?

 

Mario: LINK!

 

Jedi Knight: WHAT? WHY?

 

Mario: You sound like Tetraforce.

 

Jedi Knight: Shut up.

 

Mario: Link is my mortal enemy. He is the only other character that is in competition with me. There are about the same amount of Zelda sites as Mario sites! By the way, Link is a cross dresser. He likes wearing skirts.

 

Jedi Knight: He wears Tunics.

 

Mario: Not off set he doesn’t.

 

Jedi Knight:  Interesting.  Now, questions from audience.  Seat number 53?

 

Toad:  Can you convince Nintendo to give me my own game?

 

Mario:  No.

 

Toad:  Why not?  I wanna be in a game!

 

Mario:  Because no one wants a game where they play a giant mushroom.  Next question.

 

Bowser:  (Very poorly disguised) What is your weakness?

 

Mario:  Well, if you were Bowser, the best thing you could do to beat me would be to fight me while flying in a balloon made of very thin material over a pit of lava while I was safely on the ground.  Oh, and you should put lots of sharp and easily throwable objects next to me.

 

Bowser: Thanks. (Runs out of the room laughing maniacally.)

 

Jedi Knight:  That was weird.

 

Koopa: If you could switch places with any other Nintendo character, what would it be?

Mario: I would have to say Fox Mc.Cloud.  I’m sick of jumping on guys heads, I want to fly around and blow them up.

 

Jedi Knight:  Well, that it for now.  For my next show, I will interview everyone’s favorite Hylian, Link!
