Mary O’Koopa

Mario had just finished giving Wendy O’Koopa a thorough trouncing through the repeated application of his patented ‘boot on the head’ technique. Wendy stumbled backwards as she began to black out, landing on her magic wand with her spiked shell. What happened next was certainly different.

A small fracture on the wand shimmered into a blinding light as Wendy’s body was pulled into the wand. Mario tentatively trudged to the rod, which was now glowing with a faint pink. Just as he bent down and grasped it, the room filled with a blinding flash.

As the light dimmed from the wand, Mario rubbed his eyes with his claws, quickly realizing two important things: He now had claws, his point of view was much higher, and after looking down realized that he was now some sort of koopa-woman.

Mario was no stranger to changing shape, he’d been a bee, a statue, and even a ghost so it wasn’t the weirdest thing that's ever happened to him but it certainly was strange. Still, it’d wear off just like the others eventually. Or at least that’s what he assumed until his eyes caught the back of the wand; it was cracked!

Taking a moment to take everything in, Mario surmised that the cracked wand had fused the two of them together, adding their features on top of each other. For all he could tell, Mario was the only one inside his head at least; after calling out for Wendy a few times there was no response. Mario bit his lip as an ominous feeling came over him. Something had gone terribly wrong.

Wendy O’Koopa was ecstatic. Whatever happened to them was the greatest opportunity of her life. What Mario didn’t know was that Wendy’s consciousness now composed their unconscious mind, able to subtly influence Mario’s perceptions and feelings from the shadows. Sure Wendy wasn’t in the driver's seat, but with her magic and the sheer power of Mario at her fingertips her dreams of conquest and wealth were finally in her grasp. Not only that, but after urging Mario to examine their new form she was completely taken by herself; she was now as gorgeous as she had always thought she was.

Wendy’s enthusiasm pushed the concerns out from Mario’s mind, the confusion of his new body was replaced with an appreciation for their new body. Mario felt stronger than before, Wendy’s durability and endurance added to his own. His tail wagged happily behind him as he walked out of Wendy’s now smouldering airship; the magic explosion had devastated it beyond repair.

Wendy was enjoying the subtle sway of her new breasts. She had always wanted a pair herself, jealousy eying Peach whenever that woman had the misfortune of being Bowser’s guest. Now, she had a pair of her own and they were far grander and bigger than that of the insipid princess. Wendy never knew what Bowser saw in her, honestly, but the thought did give her a wonderful idea.

Mario was making his way to Bowser’s castle as a feeling of appreciation towards his chest began to creep up within him. He took a peep down at himself and had to admit, he was sporting a fairly impressive pair. It also made him wonder how exactly he was going to deal with his new shell. Does it come off? How am I supposed to change clothes around it? He mused to himself for the rest of the trip until he found himself standing in front of Bowser’s castle.

The Koopa Troopas standing guard looked at the strange woman and shrugged. She was clearly a Koopa, not one they’d ever seen, but hey, they were paid to keep Mario’s out, not absurdly attractive women. They opened the gates and ushered Mario into the throne room, assuming she must be at least a friend of Bowser’s, if not his lady friend.

As Mario entered the throne room where Bowser was engaging Peach in a fierce game of connect-4, Bowser took one look at Mario and began laughing madly.
“Gah ha ha, I have to say the new look suits you!” he bellowed as he clumsily tried to sneak in an extra piece onto the board, “That is you, right?”

Bowser looked at the woman more carefully. His first guess was right, but there was definitely something alluring about this woman. Bowser took a sideways glance at Peach, then back to Mario, and then back to Peach again. “Guards, take Princess Peach back to her kingdom, and send a gift basket for the trouble.”

Deep inside Mario’s mind, Wendy was cackling with glee. Bowser clearly had a thing for them. This was perfect! She began to fantasize about the possibilities before her; the wealth of the entire Koopa Kingdom, being doted on by Bowser and his servants. She would be koopaling no longer. She would be the Koopa Queen! Everything that fool Peach had rejected would be hers, and hers alone!

As Peach was quickly escorted out of the room by a gaggle of goombas, Wendy’s fantasies began to manifest inside Mario’s mind. He saw himself next to Bowser, being doted on hand and feet as his Queen. MArio was surprised that the thought intrigued him, he considered that with Bowser firmly under his heel Mario could do quite a bit of good in the Koopa Kingdom. Maybe the best way forward was to join them?

Bowser took a seat at the table where he had been playing connect-4 with Peach and beckoned Mario to him, “I gotta say, nice of you to join the winning team after all this time!” Bowser chuckled, “But also, what happened to ya?”

Mario explained the chain of events that led him there to the best of his ability. “Well, at least half of ya is one of my subjects, so you’re welcome to stay here as long as you’d like!” Bowser said with a grin, “I make sure to take care of my subjects, you hear?”

Wendy rolled her eyes as Mario took the seat opposite to Bowser. He was laying it on a bit thick, but Wendy wasn’t here for romance. She was here for power. By this point she was fully aware of the influence she had on Mario, and began to think of ways to turn this to her favor.

Mario and Bowser played for hours, taking up where Bowser had left off with Peach. They chatted idly about this and that, reminiscing about their past conflicts all the while Wendy was fantasizing about their ascension to the throne.

Wendy had always hated that brat Junior, how his arrival on the scene ruined her chances of taking over when Bowser finally lost one too many times to Mario. She grinned as she imagined it being her children that would be the true heirs of the kingdom.

Mario blinked as Wendy’s thoughts crept up into his head. The idea of having children. The notion of being a mother. The possibility of having children with Bowser. But, Mario couldn’t say he hated the idea either; in fact he felt a warmth deep inside him. Mario blushed and smiled at Bowser.

By this point, Bowser was completely smitten with his old rival. She had all the qualities he loved in a woman; ostensibly female, curves in all the right places, strong willed, and most of all she was actually willing to be there on her own volition. At Mario’s smile, Bowser shyly turned away and blushed back, “So uh, old friend, old pal. You’re not quite Mario anymore, but you’re not Wendy either. Have you come up with a new name for yourself? Yous-self?”

Mario tapped his temple in thought, he really hadn’t considered it. He definitely felt different, and judging by his thoughts about the man sitting across from him definitely thought different too. Maybe he should pick a new name? The two of them sat for a while, throwing out names like Petunia, Dandylion, and Cherry. None of them seemed to fit

Bowser grinned and snapped his fingers, “I got it, hear me out. Mary O’Koopa. It’s an easy way to get you all of Wendy’s old stuff, sounds about the same, and it’s kinda funny!”

Soon after, Mary found herself moving into Bowser’s castle. The two of them spend quite a bit of time together, eventually falling deeply in love with each other. Within a month, Mary O’Koopa married bowser, and was named Koopa Queen. Wendy’s dreams were all coming true.

Bowser was a surprisingly caring and thoughtful husband, all the energy he wasted on tormenting Peach went into taking care of and spoiling his beloved Mary. For her part, Mary still went on adventures, going out to save the world but now with the backing of the entire Koopa Army. Every ancient evil that decided to pop up its head would find itself facing down the might of the unstoppable Koopa Queen, her faithful emperor, and the endless tide of her adoring people.

Wendy softened her opinion on Bowser Junior. After the marriage Jr. rushed up to Mary and hugged her tightly, crying that he finally found his momma after all this time. What Wendy never considered was that her influence on Mario was a two way street, his love and kindness flowed into her just as her feelings flew into him and the love of this child finally made her realize what she really wanted was to be accepted.

Mary and Bowser would go on to having children of their own. Mary’s first brood was particularly worrying for her; how exactly would it work? How long would it take?. Mary was a new kind of koopa, and honestly wasn’t even sure if she could have children. Her gestation moved quickly, and within a week Bowser was by her side as she laid her first of many eggs.

She might have even been a little too into it, every time she’d come home from an adventure she would insist on having another clutch. Wendy assumed that her own desire for children must have been hard wired into their body, the magic that formed Mary giving them an urge to breed. But with the magic also speeding up the process to an absurd extent, poor Luigi quickly found himself overwhelmed with nieces and nephews.



And that’s how Mary O’Koopa started her journey from Bowser’s rival to the empress of the Koopa Kingdom. She would be the mother of the massive O’Koopa dynasty that would go on to rule the land for generations, giving birth to a new breed of koopa that was stronger, and far kinder than what had come before.
