So this is an incomplete project that sat on my computer for a long time. It had the most progress out of everything else, and so it was long enough to be considered a part 1 I guess. Mario and Luigi's dialogue is very barebones, because they have bare bones dialogue in their series. Hence everyone else pretty much does most of the talking.

Might as well throw something out cause why not? I haven't put out much, and something is better than nothing.


Mario & Luigi: Sonic Speed

“M…M..MM…MARIO!” Mario’s brother in the green overalls cried out. Luigi’s cartoons were interrupted by a toad town emergency broadcast.

A shrimpy displeased toad was in a red suit, with the headline being the Mushroom Kingdom Princess being kidnapped again. “In a stunning shocking turn of events, our Princess has been kidnapped.” The toad said sarcastically. “In other words the sky is blue, the grass is green, and goomba’s are still vile creatures.

“TOADSON!” A booming voice cried out from behind the scenes. The yell was so loud all the viewers at home could here it.”

Toadson turned around and lowered his voice. “But sir, this has happened so many times now. It’s become such a routine.”

Mario and Luigi looked at each other, with Mario simply shrugging. His eyes were glued to the screen. The red clad plumber deeply cared for his Princess. Mario would go to the ends of the world, no, universe if it was to save his Peach. The toad returned his attention to the audience, and Mario graciously waited on news of who the culprit was, and possibly where to go.

Toadson coughed and adjusted his glasses before speaking. “Ahem. Sorry about that. Eye witnesses as well as a documented photo on the scene report some blue spiky creature abducting our fair Princess. The creature had what seems to be a young mutant fox thing aid it’s kidnapping scheme.”

“Heh?” Luigi wondered. He looked closely at the culprits, unaware of what they were. The blue thing looked kinda scary with his smile and spikes. The boy with him though looked kinda young to be committing crimes. Though Luigi knew Bowser Jr well, and so crime had no age limitation.

“The kidnappers reportedly had incredible speed, making pursuit extremely difficult. It was last seen that they escaped through Dimple Wood.” Toadson reported. He gazed deeply at the camera facing him, to address the only one who could return the status quo. “Mario. It’s all on you. You are the only one who can stop these two. I know we can’t count on you like always.” The camera panned back as the broadcast was about to cut. In the background the audience could still hear bickering.

“Happy Toadsworth you ol coot? How many times have you brought this news to us?”

Mario placed a hand on Luigi’s shoulder. “Luigi. Let’s a go!” Mario was ready for anything, ready to leap right into action. With his supreme jumping skills and hammering technique, he’d get Peach back.

Luigi mumbled a bit fearful. Super fast criminals? What if they surprised him and Mario? What if they were too fast to catch? “O..O…Oki Doki!...M…M..Mario!”
Mario could tell his brothers fear, but he knew deep down Luigi would always come through for him. There was no partner he’d rather have face life’s dangers with, than his little brother Luigi. Mario smiled and stuck to being positive. He lead Luigi out of their home on their next big adventure. “Here we GO! WAHOO!”

Meanwhile in a dimension parallel to Mario’s, a similar news story broke out. It was an exact mirrored report of what the Toad town emergency broadcast had reported. Except this time there was no kidnapping. Instead of a kidnapping, there was a burglary.

“The red chaos emerald was stolen today from a highly secure G.U.N. facility. A duo in red in green overalls managed to knock out and escape without so much as scratch.” Brenda reported. She seemed to be bumped up to news anchor after the Dark Gaia incident.

“Sonic…are you seeing this?” The young fox companion asked is surrogate brother.

“These two hoodlums look to be plumbers? I’ve never seen plumbers with such acrobatics. A few words from some G.U.N. agents say they jumped on their heads.” Brenda added to her previous report. She had no idea how to say that with a straight face. What kind of fighting technique is jumping on someone’s head anyways?

Sonic laughed out loud, much to Tails dismay. “A bunch of plumbers beat up highly trained agents. They must really hire anyone in these positions.

“We just got word from special G.U.N. agent Rouge the Bat. I am now turning over to a live feed with the correspondent.” Brenda told the viewers, as the television now broadcasted a reporter with a familiar friend.

“Those plumbers are no joke. Ow.” She said as she rubbed her bruises. “They don’t fight like anything I’ve ever seen before. No amount of training could have prepared us for them.” Rouge then grabbed the camera and moved it close to her face. “Hey blue boy. Now’s a good time you and your side kick make yourself useful. Why not track those two down and see if you can retrieve my…I mean G.U.N.’s emerald.”

Sonic sat up from the couch, a cocky grin on his face. “Sounds like a fun challenge to me. Hey Tails, ready for some action? Let’s give these plumbers a nice swirly.”

“We’re gonna have to find them first. It won’t be a problem once I track the chaos emeralds energy signature.” Tails said as he went messing around his toy box. He pulled out his emerald radar as soon as he spotted it. “Woah there’s an anomaly several miles from here? When did that happen?”

“Several miles, pffft. That’s a casual jog. Let’s rock and roll buddy.” Sonic said as he ran up ahead.

Tails shook his head and sighed. “Sometimes I wonder which one of us is really the kid.” Tails took off after Sonic momentarily.
As Sonic and Tails headed off, the duo was under surveillance by spy robots the size of fleas. The robots had the shape of a familiar dragon turtle. A dragon turtle unfamiliar to Sonic’s world, but very familiar to the mushroom kingdom. From within his fortress, Bowser kept an eye on them. Some doctor he just met says they’re supposed to be a threat? He recalls the doc assuring him these woodland critters shouldn’t be underestimated. Bowser was unsure about his new partnership. He recalled the events.

“BWAAAARG! Koopa Clan! Seize this intruder.” The evil king roared. A mustachioed man with glasses somehow managed to get past his koopa troop. The robots reminded him of Fawful, and Bowser has had bad experiences with mustachioed people.

The man in glasses put his hands in the air, conceding to the koopa troopers that now surrounded him. “Hold it sire. I have come for a partnership.”

The great koopa king halted his forces advance. “Speak point dexter. What would I need from you?”

After a tip of his glasses, he responded. Of course the man was offended, but now was not the time to get angry. It was time for negotiation. “I am the great Doctor Eggman. I come on behalf to offer my services, in exchange for ridding a meddlesome hedgehog for me.”

Bowser hopped out of seat and landed with a loud thud. The room shook from Bowser’s weight. Dr Eggman and his robots nearly stumbled over and fell. Bowser stood tall in front of Eggman, easily towering over him. “You want me to get rid of a rodent? Be gone with you before I burn you to a crisp!”


“Easy easy there!” Eggman panicked for a second. “There’s more to it than that. Allow me to show you.”

Eggman had one of his robot’s project a video on Bowser’s castle wall. The video depicted Sonic showing off his trademark speed, as well as him destroying tons of robots. “This is Sonic. A hedgehog who moves at the speed of sound. His top speed is unknown. As you can see he is no ordinary rodent.”

Bowser tapped his foot and scoffed. “He can beat a chump like you, so what? I could stomp that rodent into the ground in no time at all. He’s no Mario.”

“Mario?” Eggman asked curiously.

“MARIO! That pesky plumber always gets in the way. He’s always ruining my plans for world and universal domination. He and that green stache.” Bowser’s anger boiled, recalling all the defeats he’s had at Mario’s hand.

Eggman grinned. A bargaining opportunity was in sight. “My liege, with my technological expertise and your armies combined with mine, we can accomplish anything. We can take out your plumber and my rodent.”

Bowser let loose a mighty roar, causing the nefarious doctor to worry. This large beast doesn’t seem to be much of a politician, despite being a king. “What makes you think you can defeat Mario? What’s a scrawny weakling like you going to accomplish that the mighty King Bowser could not?”

Eggman reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a large green emerald. “This is what is known as a chaos emerald King Bowser.”

Bowser tapped the emerald with his claw. He wasn’t very impressed by the jewel. “Nice accessory you got there. It’s got a cool name, but how’s a jewel going to beat Mario?”

Eggman cackled. “Allow me to explain. You see just one emerald alone has infinite power. A single emerald can power anything for eternity.” Eggman’s robot now projected Sonic using all seven emeralds. “If we can get our hands on all seven, we would be unstoppable. As you can see, Sonic here has harnessed all seven emeralds power.

On the projection screen, Super Sonic was tearing through Eggman’s entire battle fleet easily. “Sonic transformed into what he calls Super Sonic. He’s essentially invincible in this form. Imagine what you could do if you were invincible.”

Bowser looked at the footage very pleased. That old guy really did have a way to beat Mario. Bowser could see it already. He could picture a shiny golden Bowser crushing Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom’s forces like nothing. Bowser chuckled in thought. Of course he could already crush the Mushroom Kingdom’s forces no problem, he couldn’t sell himself too short.

“You got a pretty good idea old man. I think you might have some use after all.” Bowser turned to Eggman’s robots. “You better have a lot more where those came from. We’re going to storm the Mushroom Kingdom and take whatever of those emerald things they might have.”

“Hey wait a minute you dolt, I haven’t even said what we’re going to do.” Eggman interrupted. Bowser looked him in the eyes and growled. No little man commands him. Eggman had to phrase himself better, or else he might become a smear on the floor. “What I er…meant to say King Bowser is um…I have a much simpler idea.”

Bowser grabbed Eggman’s collar with his right hand, and raised him into the air. “You better have a good one, or I’ll turn you to ash.”

“Ugh…put me down or you’ll never get those emeralds. Only I can find them.” Eggman replied, letting his ego finally take precedence. He was tired of kissing up to form this partnership. The oversized brute wouldn’t risk his chance of victory after hearing all that was revealed to him.

Bowser snarled, knowing he couldn’t destroy this old man. He really wanted that power for himself. He figured he could probably pay this guy back later after he obtained ultimate power. Bowser released Eggman. “What is your idea Doctor….Eggman?”

Eggman dusted himself off, as well as wiped any smudges he may have got on his glasses. Bowser had a fowl breath. “I’m not saying anything. You must apologize first.”

“GROOOOAR WHAT! ME APPOLOGIZE!” Flames erupted from Bowser’s mouth, scorching the ceiling.

Eggman wasn’t the least bit phased. He had Bowser right where he wanted him. “That’s right. Apologize to me, or your hopes of beating this plumber will never be realized. You may try to fight me, but I have my own army and minions which will act if you try to assault me again. I’m sure you’d much rather a partnership that could defeat our enemies, than to fight me and waste your one chance of victory.

Bowser’s flames ceased. “I’m….s…..sorry.” The koopa king whispered.

“Hm…what was that? I couldn’t hear you King Bowser? Do speak up a bit. You say I’m old so I must be hard of hearing.” Eggman taunted. It felt good no longer grovel for the assistance he required.

“I’M SORRY OKAY!” Bowser shouted.

Eggman turned his back to Bowser and took a few steps away from him. “I’m sorry who? Who do you apologize to?”

Bowser grumbled and grinded his foot against the floor. He would get his revenge sooner or later. “I’m sorry…Doctor Eggman. There…you happy now?”

Eggman turned once more to face Bowser. “Why of course. You are a fair and wise King after all.”

Eggman would have dragged out the apology even further, but even he feared if he pushed Bowser too much, a fight would break out. He gave Bowser some credit of not being too stupid, but he still was a hothead for sure. Eggman calculated that he’d better hold back on his taunts for now, if he wanted this partnership to last. Bowser had knowledge of the entire area which would come in handy. Not only that, but Eggman’s robots would have a harder time charting territory that wasn’t programmed into them.

“I believe you came in contact with a so called magic brush correct?” Eggman had asked.

“You mean that thing my son stole? Yes he did steal a brush from some white coat clad old man?” Bowser retorted. “He tried framing Mario back on that stupid island. The boy didn’t do too badly for his first go. The royal koopa blood is strong in him.”

One of Eggman’s robots brought him a special tool kit. The tool kit of course had his grinning insignia. Bowser thought to himself this guy had a huge ego. “So this is what we’re going to do after my modifications are done.”
Mario and Luigi had arrived in Dimple Wood. The bro’s strolled on through the woods, looking for some sign of the kidnapper or at least some sign to follow their trail. Mario spotted one of peaches gloves. Mario dashed and picked up the glove. He could feel it was still warm. Princess Peach must not be too far off. Mario called over Luigi to take a look, but he seemed preoccupied with something else.

“Luigi…Luigi?” Mario called out to his bro. He saw Luigi digging through a bush. Good ol Luigi trying to help. It brought Mario a warm smile to his face to see his brother try his hardest to live up to his name.

“Hoho!” Luigi uttered. He raised his hand out of the bushes to reveal a bizarre green jewel.

“LUIGI!” Mario yelled. Luigi froze and drop the emerald. Luigi laughed and stroked the back of his head. Luigi told Mario he saw something strange in the bushes and took a look. He didn’t mean to go off task.

The emerald glowed and seemed to be reacting to something. Mario and Luigi ogled this emerald green gem. Luigi hesitantly poked the gem, afraid it might do something. Suddenly the gem shot forth a green light which fired right at Luigi’s head. The green clad plumber shrieked and fell back on his rear, nearly being hit by the emeralds light. The emeralds light opened a portal in the middle of plains in Dimple Wood. That jewel seemed to be reacting to something. Luigi panicked and paced back in forth in circles. What had he just done? Did he just do something horrible? Would he get in so much trouble or even be hurt by some beast that might come out of it. Mario stood strong and brave. He was ready to leap through the portal, or see if something comes out.

Sonic and Tails followed the contraption Tails was holding. It wasn’t long before they reached the location they sought. However from the looks of things everything was in order. “Hey that’s strange I got a signal for two emeralds?” Tails said as two dots appeared on his radar.

“Oh yeah I have on me. I found it when jogging cross country.” Sonic said. He pulled out the blue chaos emerald.

“That can’t be right, it never appeared on my….oh….well I’ll be. I had my thumb over the emerald you held.” Tails ears lowered. He couldn’t believe he did something that stupid.

“Hey no sweat kiddo, it’s not like this emerald really matters right now.” Sonic told his pal. He tried to grip onto the chaos emerald, only to notice it was no longer in his hands. The blue chaos emerald floated in mid air.

“Hey Tails…got any idea what the heck is going on?” Sonic said as he watched the emerald fire a beam of light across from him and Tails.

“I know you count on me Sonic to shorten exposition dumps for you….but I honestly have no idea.” Tails responded.
