Luigi: So we need hosts! Don't worry it won't be Benny and Jim as they are a little tied up with stuff right now. (Luigi lets out a soft laugh)
 
Benny and Jim are tied up in chains and strong duck tape at their house.
 
Mario: (whispering) You know we paid Benny and Jim back for what they did to us at Big Boo vs. Gengar
 
Luigi: Well, the hosts for this match will be Yoshi and Boshi!
 
Yoshi and Boshi walk up and take the seats Mario and Luigi usually fill.

The crowd cheers as Mario and Luigi step into the ring.
 
Boshi: And the not as famous Wario and Waluigi!
 
The crowd gives a little clap, as Wario and Waluigi step into the ring.
 
Luigi: You take Wario I'll take Waluigi.
 
Mario: Wouldn't have it any other way Luigi.
 
Wario: Let's annihilate them!
 
Waluigi: Hehe, Luigi is mine with my secret weapon.
 
Yoshi: Game Start!
 
Mario and Luigi charge at Wario and Waluigi. Waluigi trys to deliver a kick to Luigi, but he jumps out of the way at the last second. Mario dodges Wario's punches. Luigi takes out a feather and becomes Cape Luigi Mario takes out a leaf and becomes Racoon Mario. Wario put son his King Sea dragon hat and carries Waluigi as he has no official powers yet. Wario throws Waluigi to Luigi who fight in the air while Wario grabs Mario's neck and is choking him. Luigi throws Waluigi back to the ground and returns to regular Luigi, Mario breaks free of Wario's grip and knocks him to the ground and also returns to normal Wario takes off his King Sea Dragon hat.
 
Wario: You may have made the first strike, but we're going to win.
 
Luigi: Yeah right we've beaten you two before.
 
Mario: Yeah, it was a piece of cake really. Ready Luigi?
 
Luigi: Ready!
 
Luigi and Mario take out fire flowers and their overalls go from blue to white Luigi throws his fireball at Waluigi, but he uses his tennis racket to deflect it at Mario, but Mario jumps out the way and launches his fireball at Wario, but Wario takes out a fire flower and fires his own.
 
Boshi: a clever move, this is an exciting match!
 
Luigi fires his fireballs, but Waluigi uses his tennis racket as a shield. Mario and Luigi combine the two fireballs into one as Wario and Waluigi are thrown back by this. Wario charges and punches Mario hard in the stomach. Luigi receives a kick to the chin but responds by punching Waluigi. Mario then kicks Wario in the stomach. Luigi and Waluigi exchange punches and kicks while Mario and Wario do the same. Wario and Waluigi decide to use their secret weapon Wario uses his Bull Cap and Waluigi puts on a vanish cap.

Mario and Luigi VS. Wario and Waluigi

Nintendoland deathmatch arena stood in pride. Great clashes such as Link vs Samus and Megaman X vs Zero had took place here. We see Link sitting in the announcer booth.
 
Link: Ladies and Gentlemen, a great match is sure to take place tonight. Allow me to introduce the announcers, I am the one, the only, Link!!!!
 
Cheers erupted from the crowd. Link nodded his head in thanks and held up the Golden sword from Lttp.
 
Link: And our other announcer is ....
 
A toilet flushes in the back ground and the Audience sees an orange squirll walk into the announcing booth.
 
Conker: Good evening bitches and bastards!
 
Link: Conker, that was rude to the audience.
 
Conker: Bite me you damn elf!
 
Link: Players one and two tonight are the Mario Bros.!
 
Mario flys in wearing the wing cap with Luigi behind him as Racoon Luigi.
 
Part of the audience cheers, but the villains boo.
 
Link: Players 2 and 4 are Wario and Waluigi!
 
The Wario Bros. get a similar response from the crowd, but the villains were the ones cheering for them.
 
Link: Let the fight begin!
 
Ice Climber hits his hammer on a bell.
 
Mario: Its-a -time to-a defeat you-a again Wario.
 
Wario: Don't count on it plumber boy!
 
Waluihi and Luigi growl at each other.
 
Luigi: How do you expect to fight Waluigi?
 
Waluigi: Like this!
 
Waluigi points to the bottom of his shoes and reveals that he has welded coins to them. Wario throws Waluigi like a javelin and his shoes connect with Luigi's face. The coins made an imprint on Luigi's face. Mario ran in and punched Wario as hard as he could.
 
Wario: You may be strong, but I am the real Superman here!
 
Wario body slammed Mario. Mario felt like his head was spinning.
 
Conker: Superman! Thats one of the worse damn games there ever was!
 
Superman stands up in the crowd.
 
Superman: Are you trying to start something?
 
Superman flies at Conker. Conker points a blaster at him.
 
Conker: This is the anti-crap game ray 7000, it destroys characters in crappy games like you, so say your prayers red-undies boy!
 
Conker blasts Superman and he disentegrates.
 
Link: Conker, didn't you change after your adventure?
 
Conker: :whisper: I'm trying to impress the fans.
 
Mario: Lets-a get down to buisness!
 
Mario now has put on the hammer bro. suit and has a supply of hammers.
 
Mario: Eat-a this!
 
Mario throws a hammer that knocks Waluigi on the head.
 
Wario: I'll counter that!
 
Wario becomes Bull Wario and slams into Mario with enough force to topple many warriors.
 
Mario: He cracked my armor!
 
Link: Looks like his armor isn't too reliable.
 
Mario removes the hammer bro. suit and Wario carges at him. This time however, Mario grabs the bull hat and throws it aside. Luigi jumps in and kicks Wario in the head. Luigi looks over his shoulder and sees Waluigi pulling a cannon from Wario's battlefield from Mario Party. Waluigi loads it with bombs (not Bob-ombs) and points it at Mario. Luigi thought for a moment and realized something, without Mario, he could not win, he would stand no chance even if Wario was alone, he would not worry if Mario refused to take him on some adventures in the past, he would not let his brother go down.
 
Just as Waluigi fired a few bombs, Luigi jumped in the way. An explosion happened, and as the smoke cleared, Luigi was found unconsious.
 
Wario: That twerp ruined the plan, but I can still win!
 
Wario threw Mario to the ground. Wario ate a piece of cake and became Fat Wario. FW then sat on Mario.
 
FW: Face it, you've lost, there is no way for you to win now!
 
Link: This could be the end!
 
Conker: There is no way in hell that elf boy is wrong about that!
 
Link: I am not an elf.
 
Link throws Conker across the booth.
 
Mario: I... shall.... not.... go..... down.....
 
Mario pulls out the Ultra hammer and bats FW off. Wario goes back to normal. Mario seemed to have a blaze in his eyes that burned with anger.
 
Mario constantly does Ultra Jump on the Wario Bros., he follows up with an Ultra Fame. Mario kicked the Lazy Shell at Waluigi and he goes flying into the cannon. Mario fires the cannon and Waluigi is launched out of the stadium. Mario turns around to see that Wario is now Vampire Wario.
 
VW: Meet my most powerful form.
 
Mario places the Metal Cap on and a metallic substance coats his body.
 
MM throws a punch at VW but it is blocked.
 
VW: Vampires are strong too!
 
They each keep throwing punches and kicks at each other, some hits connect, but most are blocked. MM takes out the Homerun Bat from SSB and knocks VW into the cannon.
 
VW: Heh heh heh! Counter this!
 
VW holds up a bomb, MM takes the oppertunity to shoot a fireball at it and it makes it explode. The explosion of that bomb set off the other bombs and VW is sent straight into the air. VW lands with a thud.
 
VW: Blast..... you....... Mario!
 
VW goes unconsious. MM removed the Metal Cap and dis his victory stance.
 
Mario: Here we go!!!!
 
Link: In the end, Mario proved that skill and guts triumph over cheap tactics and greed.
 
Conker: I can't wait to compete, I could kick anyones ass!
 
Link: You'll just have to wait.
 
Ice Cimber hands Mario the deathmatch medal.
 
Mario gives Luigi a Pick-me-up from SMRPG and Luihi joins the victory pose. Once again, the Mario Bros. had triumphed.

Mario and Luigi VS. Wario and Waluigi

The crowd cheers as the Mushroom Kingdom music plays and the lights in the arena come up. Two anonymous figures walk up to the commentators seats, usually occupied by Mario and Luigi. The spotlight swerves toward them revealing none other than Link and Kirby!
 
Link: Hello and welcome to the Nintendoland deathmatch arena!
 
Kirby: Yeah! And what a match we have tonight!
 
Link: That is correct, Kirby. Because Mario and Luigi
 
will be fighters tonight, Kirby and I shall be commentating.
 
Kirby: Un-huh! And by the way, we WERE supposed to be the official commentators originally, if it hadn’t been for those mustachioed losers.
 
Link: Kirby, we should be obliged to have this position.
 
Kirby: Your just acting like that because your in almost a forth of all the matches here.
 
Link: Anyways, lets start the match. In the right corner, the saviors of the Mushroom Kingdom….. MARIO MARIO AND LUIGI MARIO!
 
The crowd cheers as Mario and Luigi run up to the arena.
 
Kirby: In the left corner, the men in purple……WARIO AND WALUIGI!
 
Half the crowd boos, while the ‘bad guy’ section cheers.
 
Link: Enough talk, let the match begin!
 
Mario and Luigi do a hi-five and shoot fireballs at Wario and Waluigi. Wario is hit, but Waluigi jumps out of the way.
 
Waluigi: Heh heh heh! I doubt-a you guys are gonna’ win!
 
Luigi: Yeah right! Lets-a see what you got, thin boy! Waluigi gets angry and shoots two purple, electric fireballs at Luigi. Luigi, acting nonchalantly, ignores them and is hit. He receives a jolt of electricity and flinches in pain.
 
Waluigi: Heh heh heh! Lets see who the best now, right
 
Wario?
 
Wario: Oh yeah! Lets get ‘im, bro!
 
The two Wario brothers do their charge attack at Mario and Luigi. Mario backflips from harms way and Luigi uppercuts Waluigi.
 
Link: Looks like Luigi got Waluigi back!
 
Kirby: Yeah! But look at what Mario’s doing to Wario!
 
It’s his tornado spin from Super Smash Bros.!
 
Mario throws tons of punches at Wario, who is then knocked into the air. Mario triple jumps and kicks him. Wario falls right onto Waluigi, who was about to shoot more purple fireballs.
 
Waluigi: Umph! Get off me, you fat tub of lard!
 
Waluigi, enraged, picks up Wario and throws him at Luigi. Mario attempts to save his brother, but Waluigi turns around shoves him out of the way. Squashed by Wario’s weight, Luigi struggles to get free.
 
Wario: Ya’ like that, Luigi?
 
Luigi: Actually, this is quite a comfortable position.
 
Maybe after the battle you could sit on me like this? How about it?
 
Wario: Well, how about a massage too?
 
Wario punches Luigi across the face and gets up.
 
Wario: Now try this for size!
 
Luigi, rubbing his back, is picked up from his legs
 
by Wario. Wario then throws him out of the arena, and
 
into a wall. Meanwhile, Mario and Waluigi are shooting
 
fireballs at each other. Mario then jumps on top of
 
Waluigi several times, until he moved out of the way,
 
causing Mario to fall to the ground.
 
Mario: Mama Mia! That was quite a trick! But I’m-a not letting you get away!
 
Waluigi: Give me your worst, Lardio!
 
Mario: Eerrrrg! I hate that name! Now you are-a gonna’ pay!
 
Mario pulled out from his pocket a mushroom.
 
Mario: Try this-a for size!
 
All of a sudden, Mario grew to be twelve feet tall.
 
Waluigi: Hey! That’s-a not fair!
 
Link: I thought using items wasn’t allowed for this battle? We’re you not in charge of making sure of that?
 
Kirby: Whoops.
 
Waluigi: Well, two can play this game. Hey Wario!
 
Wario looked over his shoulder, seeing that Luigi is dazed, and runs toward Waluigi.
 
Wario: Yeah bro?
 
Waluigi: Let’s show-a him our little trick!
 
Wario: Heh heh heh! You got it!
 
Mario grabs Wario before he could even move away, and throws him around like a toy.
 
Wario: Ahhhh! Waluigi! Stop him!
 
Waluigi ran off to the other side of the arena and pulled out a cannon with the jolly rodger on it’s side.
 
Waluigi: Try this for size, Lardio!
 
Waluigi lights the fuse and a poisonous mushroom shoots toward Mario.
 
Wario: You idiot! It’s gonna’ hit me!
 
The mushroom comes in full contact of Wario, knockinghim out.
 
Link: Well, one of the Wario bros. is out. Let’s seeif Waluigi will make it.
 
Waluigi shoots another poisonous mushroom, this timehitting Mario, knocking him out too.
 
Waluigi: Well, I guess I-a won! Thank-a you!
 
???-Not so fast, buddy!
 
Waluigi, turns around only to see Luigi back in thearena.
 
Waluigi: You again?!? Well, I’m-a going to finish youoff like your brother!
 
Waluigi shoots a poisonous mushroom at Luigi, but theagile man easily avoids it.
 
Kirby: Now this is a match! Two rivals one on one.
 
Link: If you don’t count that Waluigi has a cannon.
 
Kirby: Well…..
 
Luigi then slides toward the cannon and pushes itaside.
 
Waluigi: You wanna’ do a hand fight, huh? Try me!
 
Luigi: You asked for it!
 
Luigi backflips over Waluigi and then kicks him inthe back. He then shot several fireballs at him.
 
Waluigi was stunned for a moment, giving Luigi to getcontrol of the cannon. He quickly ran toward it andshot a poisonous mushroom at Waluigi.
 
Waluigi: Hey! Uh, no items allowed in this battle,remember!
 
Luigi: Nice try, Wally.
 
Waluigi: Wally!?! What kind of name is th---
 
Before Waluigi could finish the sentence, he was hitwith the mushroom, knocking him out.
 
Link: Luigi and Mario win!
 
Kirby: Yeah!
 
Luigi: Well, who would you think would win?
 
Link: Don’t be too boastful Luigi…
 
Kirby: Yeah, you know I could cream you anyday.
 
Luigi: (rolling his eyes) Uh-un, sure Kirby….
 
Link: Well, that’s a wrap folks! See you next time atthe Nintendoland Deathmatch!

NintendoLand Deathmatch summary #4/4
Mario and Luigi VS. Wario and Waluigi

It’s that day of the week again. The day when the heroes, villains, and NPCs of the Nintendo universe come to that big stadium to see two of their kindred (or mortal enemies, depending on who you talk to about whom) duke it out to the bitter end (well, not really since I doubt Nintendo would like it if we killed them but I digress). However, there is something different tonight about the deathmatch that the audience has yet to find out. Two spotlights focus in on the red and green announcer’s both as usual but the two people who come out aren’t the usual pair.
 
"It’s-a not me, Mario," says a teenage boy who comes out of Mario’s door, parodying the famous, trademarked line.
 
"And it’s-a not me, Luigi," says a small turtle with a pair of sunglasses who comes out of Luigi’s door, again parodying the line.
 
Together they say in unison, "It’s-a us, James and Yertle!"
 
There is silence in the arena. The two new announcer’s look at each other for a second, and then Yertle jumps up and hits James on the head. James rubs his head and grumbles something unintelligible (but definitely not filled with good things about his co-host) and they both sit in their chairs.
 
"I suppose you’re wondering who we are," James says to the crowd. He gets a resounding "yes" in response.
 
"Well I’m James and I’m seventeen years old and a writer," says James.
 
"And I’m Yertle and I’m a Squritle with shades," says Yertle who then does a quick pose and sunlight glints off his sunglasses despite the fact they’re indoors. This gets an ugly reaction from the crowd.
 
"It’s a Pokémon!" yells one anti-Pokémon fan. "Get ‘em!"
 
They then try to storm the announcer’s box to get the tiny turtle Pokémon. Unfortunately for them, Yertle is a Squirtle but he’s hardly defenseless. Opening a door in the ceiling of the box, he climbs on top and Hydro Pumps the Pokémon haters away.
 
"It’s not my fault I’m cute," Yertle shrugs as he jumps back inside. "Blame Nintendo."
 
"Moving on," James started again, ignoring the previous outburst, "I’m sure most of you are wondering why we’re here instead of Mario and Luigi."
 
There are murmurs among the crowd to that affect.
 
"Well that’s because..." James trails off as the stadium lights dim to two spotlights in two corners, "they’re working as Team #1 for tonight’s deathmatch!"
 
A warp pipe comes out off the ground and the plumber brothers jump out of it.
 
"It’s-a me, Mario," the elder, shorter one says his trademarked (yet highly overused) line, which causes the crowds to break into cheers.
 
"And it’s-a me, Luigi," the younger, taller one says his non-trademarked line.
 
They then both turn up towards the announcer’s booth and yell, "And we don’t like you for using our lines!"
 
"Uh, sorry..." James says apologetically, while scratching the back of his head.
 
Yertle keeps going on with the introductions as if nothing has happened, "And in the other corner is Team #2. Its members: the doppelganger, odd couple duo of Wario and Waluigi!"
 
Just then there is a loud noise as a Biplane swoops down, nearly hitting Mario and Luigi. It then zooms back up into the air and it can be clearly seen that there is a W and an upside down L on the bottom of the wings. Angling down in a dive, it once again buzzes the plumber brothers and then slows down as it comes to a gentle landing. Wario (who’s in the pilots seat) and Waluigi (who’s in the seat behind him) pull off their flight hats and goggles and put on their corresponding plumber’s caps and then jump out of their plane.
 
"We’re gonna smash you two today," Wario says menacingly.
 
"We got to pay you back for what you guys did to us when we went one on one," Waluigi says with a fist clenched at the memories of previous fights.
 
"Not a chance," says Mario confidently.
 
"We beat you last time and with us together we’ll only beat you twice as fast," Luigi says, smiling inwardly at the thought.
 
"Oh yeah?" Wario growls, taking a step forward towards his foe.
 
"Yeah," Mario replies also taking a step forward towards his nemesis.
 
"Hey!" James yells from the box. "Don’t start the fight yet."
 
Mario and Wario give each other one last angry look and then go back to their corners. James waits for the Koopa Troopa attendants to take Wario’s plane off the arena before starting again.
 
"Well, you’ve all been here before, so you know all the rules, right?" James asks them and gets a nod from all of them.
 
"Then I guess it’s time to start to fight. Remember, these battles are not for gambling purposes so all side bets are illegal," James turns to his partner, "right Yertle?"
 
Yertle isn’t listening though; he’s talking on several cell phones with several stacks of charts and money all around him.
 
"I got ten-to-one odds Wario takes down Mario in the first five minutes," Yertle says into one phone and then picks up another. "Odds on Bowser dropping a huge bomb on the fight
 
‘cause he hates the fighters? 144-to-1 on that one. What? You’re still betting on it? Okay, it’s your money."
 
He then dials a number on one of the phones, "Bowser? This is Yertle. Don’t drop the bomb on the arena, I’ll lose too much money if you do that."
 
James is a little stunned (but not entirely surprised) by his co-host’s actions. He then regains himself, mutters something about Yertle only looking innocent, and clears his throat to get the squirtle’s attention.
 
"What?" he snaps as he turns around.
 
"I said I think it’s time to start the fight," James says sternly, a little annoyed at Yertle’s behavior.
 
"Oh, it’s about time," he said and then yelled into all his phones. "All betting is now closed!"
 
Then after putting his stuff away he turns back towards James, a deceptively innocent look on his face. "May we begin?"
 
James sighs and starts, "3,"
 
"2," Yertle continues.
 
"1,"
 
And then they simultaneously yell, "GAME START!"
 
Wario rolls up his sleeve and begins a charge towards Mario.
 
"I’ve been waiting to do this again for a long time," he says as he builds up speed.
 
Mario waits for the charging bulk to get close and at the last possible second, jumps up out of the way.
 
"When are you going to learn that you’re too slow to hit me with that?" Mario taunts as he falls back down.
 
Wario says nothing; in fact he doesn’t even stop. He keeps even as he hits the ropes around the ring. Using them as a slingshot, Wario comes back at double the normal charge speed. Mario, just landing back on the ground, has no time to do anything and is run over flat by his enemy.
 
"Need some help bro?" Luigi asks.
 
"I think you should be more concerned about yourself," Waluigi says from behind and throws a punch at him. Luigi evades the attack easily.
 
"Please," Luigi shakes his head, "it’s just pathetic. I mean, you don’t even appear in a game. So officially you can’t do anything except play tennis and party games."
 
"Wanna bet?" Waluigi grins and pulls out an object hidden from somewhere.
 
"Where did you get that!?" Luigi exclaims and points at the item in his rival’s hands.
 
It’s an invincibility star and then it takes affect and Waluigi begins to sparkle and flash. With great speed, he charges Luigi and sends him flying.
 
"Looks like the villains have taken the advantage quickly," James comments, "and the Mario brothers don’t seem to be fighting back that well."
 
"Thank you for stating the obvious," Mario sarcastically yells up to the announcers’ booth.
 
"That’s our job," James replies back with a smile.
 
"And we try very hard to do it the best we can," Yertle adds.
 
Mario’s reply is cut short as Wario jumps up high and tries body slam him. Mario rolls to the side just as he lands with an earth shattering crash.
 
"I’m getting tried of this," Mario says as he jumps back to feet. He then turns towards Luigi and cups his hands around his mouth "Okay bro, let’s start bringing out the big guns."
 
"I have no problem with that," Luigi replies as he dodges another charge by his doppelganger.
 
They both reach behind them and pull out power-ups, Mario armed with feather while Luigi’s holding a flickering cap. Instantly the older plumber has a cape while the younger ones’ image becomes distorted. Wario tries another charge but his enemy takes running leap into the air, far out of his reach while Waluigi’s attempts to hurt Luigi work about as well as trying to hurt air.
 
"Think you can get away from me up there?" Wario yells up at his flying nemesis.
 
"As a matter of fact..." he starts to say.
 
"Think again!" interrupts Wario and he sneers and pulls out a pot that looks like a bunny head (though it probably isn’t supposed, it just looks that way in the games). He drinks the
 
contents and his hat changes from a yellow plumbers cap to a Jet hat. Wario jumps up into the air and fires the engine in the back of the hat and goes zooming after Mario.
 
As they dogfight it out in the air above the arena, Luigi and Waluigi are staring each other down while they wait for the others’ invincibility power-up to wear off. Due to the weird force of nature that seems to have a sense of humor called fate, they both go back normal at the same time. They then simultaneously reach for a new item and, due to fate’s interference again; they both pull out fire flowers.
 
"I can’t believe you use my items since you don’t have any," Luigi yells and chucks several fireballs at his opponent. "Why didn’t you use your brother’s stuff?"
 
"Because I felt it would be more demeaning to you if I beat you with your own attacks!" he yells back, tossing several fireballs back to cancel the other’s shots.
 
Back in the air, Mario and Wario are both trying to slam into the other while they’re in the air. Every now and then one has to land because their flight time expired and they have to dodge the others attacks as they try to go back into the air.
 
"Face it," Mario taunts as he dodges the flying bulk on the ground, "You’re just to slow to catch me as long as, YEOW!"
 
Mario yells and jumps up into the air as he is hit from behind with a fireball. Behind him Waluigi is grinning at his success.
 
"That was a cheap shot," James disgustedly shook his head. "Have they no honor?"
 
"Think of who you’re talking about," Yertle pointed out.
 
"Good point," he agreed.
 
Having recovered from the burn (though still grumbling about it), Mario faced a problem where his cape was now gone while Wario could still fly. Luckily for him, an idea struck him right then.
 
As Wario swung around for another attack, Mario simply stood his ground and waited for it.
 
"Feel like losing?" he taunted from the sky and then he began to dive. "I’ll be happy to help you do so!"
 
He never noticed that Mario had one hand behind his back.
 
Right before Wario hit his opponent, Mario pulled out a special cap and put it on his head and he turned metallic. Wario’s eyes widened in shock as he realized his mistake but
 
unfortunately for him, there was nothing he could do about.
 
There was a resounding clang as Wario hit Metal Mario who stood there like a brick (or more accurately, steel) wall. Dazed Wario fell backwards as his hat changed back to normal.
 
"That was brilliant Mario," Luigi cheered, "you certainly put him down for the count."
 
"It looks like, shall I say it?" James turned towards Yertle who was shaking his head in disapproval. He ignores him and continued, "Game Over for Wario."
 
Yertle groans about the quality of his co-host’s puns and plans future revenge on him.
 
"I wouldn’t be so certain about that," Waluigi muttered under his breath as he pulled out another pot. He then took aim and threw it yelling, "Hey Wario, catch!"
 
Wario raises up an arm from where he was lying on the ground and catches the flying pot and pours the pots contents down his throat. Mario’s eyes widen in alarm as he sees that the pot has little horns on it.
 
"I think I’m in trouble," he drastically understates. Then the pot shatters in Wario’s hand as his grip becomes stronger along with the rest of his body.
 
"Now I know I’m in trouble," Mario frightfully says, clearly alarmed at the change in circumstances.
 
"Oh yes, you certainly are," Wario says as he stands up, now with twice his normal muscle mass and a horned Viking hat on his head.
 
"Wait a minute," Mario realizes, "I’m still Metal Mario. You can do your worst but you can’t hurt me."
 
He then stands confidently with his hand son his hips, "What do you have to say to that?"
 
"Just a few things," Wario replies and looks at his watch. "5...4...3...2...1...0."
 
As soon as he says the last number, Mario’s cap wears off. The look of confidence runs away from his face.
 
"Oh yeah," Mario remembers, "those things have a time limit don’t they?"
 
Wario does not answer, to take the opportunity and attack. His charge comes at double the normal speed, leaving no time for Mario to dodge. Wario doesn’t stop there either; he just keeps going and runs into an unsuspecting Luigi.
 
"Oww!" Luigi groans as he tries to get back onto his feet. "Why’d you do that for?"
 
"Just because this is a two-on-two battle doesn’t mean I only have to fight Mario," Wario said.
 
"And now we’ll both beat you guy up as payback for those other fights," Waluigi grins and the two begin advance menacingly on the fallen plumbers.
 
"Hey Luigi," Mario weakly turns towards his brother, "got anything good left?"
 
"Of course, I still have my..." Luigi trails off, as he finds that he’s missing something, "Where’s my star?"
 
"Looking for this?" Waluigi holds up a star between his fingers. "Don’t worry, it won’t go to waste."
 
He laughs flicks it up into the air and catches it, going invincible again.
 
"I can’t think of anything that could go wrong now," Wario says aloud.
 
We interrupt this deathmatch to bring you a brief Historical Note (for best effect, read with a British accent): The previous phrase (and other variants) has long been considered cursed by many historians due to the fact when it has been said has resulted in the collapse of five different empires, four of which were ruled by great leaders and one by a guy named Bob. Thank you and we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
 
Suddenly, Yertle gets a phone call.
 
"I’m sorry, all betting is now..." Yertle shuts up as he hears the voice on the phone.
 
"Wait, you can’t do that," he exclaims in a panic, "we have a deal."
 
All he got was a click afterwards.
 
"Who was that?" James asks.
 
"Uh, remember that call I made to Bowser earlier," the squritle says nervously.
 
"You mean the one about not dropping something on the stadium?" he replies. "I remember that, so what’s the problem?"
 
"Well, you see...I don’t know how to say this but..." he hesitates one more second before blurting out, "he says the deal is off."
 
"Whoa, wait a second. You don’t mean..." James stops as he sees Yertle has withdrawn into his shell. He then grabs a hard hat from under the desk and ducks under it.
 
Listening in on the conversation Wario asks his brother, "I wonder what that was supposed to mean?"
 
Waluigi shrugs a reply, not knowing either. The answer comes to them (literally) in a second as a huge bomb falls from the sky and lands in the arena, resulting in a huge explosion.
 
When the dust clears, Mario and Luigi are seen to be lying by the edge of the newly formed crater. The two plumbers look over the edge and in the center of it are the blackened forms of Wario and Waluigi.
 
"Wow," Luigi exclaims, "talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat."
 
Down in the crater is a completely different (yet completely expected) reaction.
 
"I can’t believe it," Waluigi complains, hitting his fist against the ground, "our well deserved victory, smashed by a freak accident."
 
Meanwhile, up in the sky is yet another reaction.
 
"Darn it," Bowser exclaims, smashing his fist against the console of his airship, "I can’t believe I only got two of them."
 
"Don’t worry sir," one Koopa Troopa reassures, "at least got some of them."
 
Bowser turns and smashes his fist down on his troops head, knocking him out of his shell and into the ground.
 
"You idiot! I got the ones I cared the least about," he yells, "I would have greatly preferred to hit Mario and Luigi over Wario and Waluigi any day."
 
And back down in the announcer’s booth is one more reaction.
 
James peaks over the desk and sees the results. Realizing the yes, he is still alive, and that the fight is over. He tosses off his helmet and sits back up in his seat as if nothing unexpected had happened.
 
"Well it looks like we come to the conclusion of another exciting, yet unpredictable, deathmatch," he then turns towards his co-host. "Good match, don’t you think Yertle?"
 
He then notices that the tiny turtle isn’t there and he looks towards the door where he sees him dressed in a trench coat (don’t ask where he found one his size) and a hat while carrying a large briefcase.
 
"Yertle, do I really want to know what you’re doing?" James asks, confused at his partner’s reactions.
 
"What does it look like?" he snaps back, "I’m trying to avoid having to pay up."
 
"Just because someone beat the odds on the whole Bowser attack thing?" James questioned disapprovingly.
 
"Not someone. But some ones," Yertle corrected.
 
"So what’s it matter?" he replied shrugging his shoulders, "Just how bad could it be?"
 
The squirtle hesitates for a second then quotes a figure. James eyes open really wide in disbelief.
 
"Well in that case," he said, horrified that Yertle managed to dig himself this deep, "I didn’t see you."
 
"Thanks, it’s nice to know you understand," he slips out the door, checking to see if anyone’s there and then runs to the right.
 
"If anyone asks, I didn’t go this way," he yells back from the distance.
 
Soon afterwards, he comes running back with a mob of people following him.
 
"Never mind!" he yells as he goes past.
 
"Well I guess the moral of today’s deathmatch is: don’t cheat at gambling and expect to get away with it," James says to the audience, "so until next time, Good Fight."
 
"Good Night!" Yertle yells from the distance.
 
And so, James gives the camera a small salute as it pans out, zooming in on Yertle who is still running from angry people who want money. While down in the arena Mario and Luigi are walking off the field.
 
"It’s amazing how those new guys got more lines then us," Mario says to his brother.
 
"Yeah, there’s certainly something wrong with that," Luigi agrees as they walk into sunset (or a least they would if this had been outdoors and they had a higher budget but that’s life).
