My parents and I went on one of our three mile walks, which we haven't done in a while. I can already tell I'm going to feel this in the morning.

In other news, I now declare it time for more Superstar Saga.

Previous episodes

OUR HERO
Oho Oasis theme, which is all bright and happy and weirdly addictive.

Mario?

Maaaaaarioooooooooo

OH THERE HE IS

bonk

SHOO! SHOO YOU SCOUNDRELS!

I think he actually makes an angry GRRRRRR sound here, but I forget.

Hahahahhaa YES MORE BLOWS TO THE HEAD THAT'LL FIX 'IM RIGHT UP

MARIO YOU'RE AWAKE!!!
Mario: asfdafs

TADAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Aaand back in action!

Well, the Oho Jee at least seem... friendly enough.

it means you're a COMPLETE FAILURE wait no

HAY WHERE DO YOU GUYS WANT ME TO PUT THIS ARMFUL OF BURNING TORCHES

Unfortunately, it didn't even occur to me to set any Oho Jee on fire while I was here. NEXT TIME

The radios?

NOOOOOO NOOOOO YOU GUYS ARE FIIIIIIINE

Like a crunchy taco

Man is that rock made of metal or something. Seriously look at that.
ANYWAY you need to upgrade your hammers to break that kind of rock. We will eventuallyyy

THANKS

doo dee doo strolling into a mysterious palace

Element Palace, which is sort of weird and creepy. HOW REASSURING

I hear that. Man I'd love to just take a nap or something but that'd screw up my sleep schedule

I DON'T KNOOOOOWWWWWW *dramatic sobbing*

You are you.

dum dee dum breaking random things in palaces doo dee doo

on second thought maybe that wasn't such a good idea

AAAAAAAAAAAA this guy totally reminds me of a Xatu and I don't know why

AND Y'KNOW IF YOU WERE GONNA BE LATE YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST CALLED

IT SOUNDED LIKE A FUN IDEA, I DUNNO

Haha, that's a great :/ face.

You're a man after my own heart, Firebrand guy.

SO WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO THIS

OW FIRE IS HOT

ooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm not sure what it is about that whole bit of dialogue that makes me laugh so much.

WOOOOOOO I'm amazed his gloves haven't burned off by now

OH BOY

Goodbye, Firebrand instructor.

Luigi: So what'd you do in there, anyway?
Mario: Eh, nothing important.

using our ~powers~

To the Thunder Palace!

!!!!

Awwwwww.

BREAKING THINGS, MY FAVORITE PASTTIME

hey did someone turn out the lights

WTF AAAAAAAAA

YEAH WHATEVER HEY IS THIS LIKE ONE OF THEM ELECTRIC SPHERE THINGS YOU SEE AT SCIENCE MUSEUMS

DON'T TOUCH ME

PUN INTENDED Y/N?

Luigi: :D

WOO ALRIGHT

I don't know why, but him lifting a finger into the air when he does Thunderhand makes me laugh. It's like BEHOOOOLD

Like... a person!

huh what

WOO YEAH ALRIGHT

goin' inside the tubes

OW JESUS

And into the ocean we go! Ocean music.

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMAGE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

COME BAAAAAAAACK

god luigi and his insane strength

Oh hey, for some reason I got a Spike Badge from that even though I technically didn't kill the beanie. Weird. ANYWAY this would be useful if the badge I had now wasn't better.

oooo, nice.

LET'S BLOW THIS POPSICLE STAND

Bowser and Fawful/Cackletta are A-OK!
SORT OF

GET SOME EYEDROPS

blarrrrrrrrrr

MY EYES

And we're back!

PEASLEY

Shameful silence. YOU TWO SHOULD BE ASHAMED, JUMPING ON BEANSTARS LIKE A COUPLE OF HOOLIGANS

*stares wistfully into the sunset*

DUN
DUN
DUUUUUNNNNNNNN

nod

I wish my airport had signs like that!

and by "repairs" we mean "piranha plants"

NO NOT MY SODA

Yep, those sure are Piranha Plants.

HNRRRRRRRRRRG

Hey Piranha Plants aren't disgusting I like them

LUIGI COME ON ALREADY BOINGBOING

SHLUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRPPPPPP

THAT LOOKS GOOD

To get rid of Piranha Plants you just shoot water at them and electrocute them. You can battle them, but they just come back.

Thank you, botanist.

After a bit more weeding...

OH JESUS

MOM PIRANHA
Okay, so when their skin is all red then that means they have fire attacks and are weak against lightning, so have Luigi just run up and shock the crap out of them. Or just the mom, actually, since her babies respawn and I think the mom does this special attack if you hit them, anyway.

She'll sometimes shoot this ball of energy at you, which you can just whack back at her. It'll cause damage to both her and her babies.

She also randomly heals herself at points. OH GREAT A HEALING BOSS, MY FAVORITE KIND

WHY DID I THINK JUMPING ON THEM WOULD WORK

When they turn blue, that's just the reverse of when they're red -- they're weak against fire and use lightning attacks. Have Mario burn them.

And POW crisis averted

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Chattin' with the beanguys

Heh, a voice clip of her going "Mario! Luigi!" plays here.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

WHAAAAAAAT

HEY PEASLEY when did you get here

"suckeeeeerrrrrs"

BIRDO

OH GOD

RUN BEANGUYS

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

THE END no wait

Mario's too macho to wave goodbye.

Haha, I'm not sure if fair is the right word

nope.

GOT A LITTLE TOO EXCITED THERE

GREAT NOW FUNKYTOWN IS STUCK IN MY HEAD

Mario's nodding and Luigi is shaking his head

nodnod

Peach really is pretty cool when you get right down to it

Northeast. Got it.

Hahaha that's actually pretty amazing considering the whole town was destroyed. BEANBEAN CASTLE IS JUST VERY RESILIENT I SUPPOSE

I always misread this line horribly whenever I see it

IF ONLY THIS WORKED IN REAL LIFE

Man, I knew all that stuff already. SOME CHEST OF KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS

And with that, this (giant) episode comes to a close. What awaits our heroes in TeeHee Valley? Well wouldn't YOU like to know

Man these take a long time to make. THEN AGAIN MAYBE IT WOULDN'T TAKE SO LONG IF I DIDN'T KEEP DISTRACTING MYSELF freakin' YouTube
