Part 10: Cupid's Aneurism

Moles Can Sing?

When we last left our favorite cartoon posse, they had just entered the Moleville Mines. While there, they encountered three more types of enemies:


Magmites: Little furballs that have a higher damage resistance than most bosses in the game.


Bob-Ombs: Another that have been in every game. Their attack consists of a kamikaze dive right into your face before blowing up. That's right. Their sole purpose in life is to commit suicide.


and Clusters: These guys appear to be big ole bundles of amythest, or some other mineral. Damn things. Why do the disappear when we kill them?

They also found an interesting character looking for rare things in the mine. Why would there be random crap in the underground mine? Your guess is as good as mine.


Aren't we all, man. Aren't we all. Speaking of: you should try and harvest some chunks off the Clusters. There could be some real cash in that.
Greedy SOB: Yeah, but every time I take a piece off of them, it and the rest of them pops into nothingness.
Yeah, same here. Sucks.


Welp. Looks like we can't go any further. I guess those kids will have to rescue themselves. Head out, team!

Mallow: Hay guys, look! There's a trampoline right under the ceiling! Let's jump on it!!!
Why do I sense this is a bad idea? Oh, wait. Because it IS! Meh. I'm bored, so what the hell.


Trust your instincts with Mallow's ideas next time, okay genius?

Croco: Hey guys who look an awful lot like Crooks, check out my old friend Mario. He's gonna die unless we take some of his stuff and revive him with it!
Crook-a-like: Good idea! There. All done. Oh, look! He dropped his wallet! Let's put it back in his pocket.
Mama mia! You're stealing all my money!
Croco: No! It's not that at all. You see.......
No excuses, punk! It's ON now. I know Super Flame!
Croco: Not again......run, Team Circumstantial Evidence!




Well, that solves one problem


Croco: Honestly guys, it's just a misunderst*OW! What the.....did you just shoot me with your finger? Who the hell are you, anyways?
Geno: I'm Hearteighthnotexclamationmarkquestionmark, but you can....
Croco: Wow, you must really hate your parents.
Geno: Sometimes....
Mallow: Shut up! And take THAT, thief!


You idiot! You just threw our item bag at him. Now we don't have a thing!


Mallow: Oh....er....sorry


Croco: Like I told you. Misunderstanding. Try not to attack me next time, please.
Er....sorry for the mix up.......again.
Croco: It's aight. Here's a bomb in case you need it.
Awesome. Thanks, and we'll see you around.


Mallow: All we did was talk, and I threw an item bag at him, and we get 10 experience? Nice.


Hello, Pa Mole. I see the path is blocked! Have no fear, we have a BOMB!!!
Pa Mole: I may be a simple mole, but won't that cave us in even more?
Nonsense! Science doesn't exist in the Mushroom Kingdom (and surrounding areas).


Mallow: Here we go...
I'm INVINCIBLE!!!


Geno: Woohoo! I can be a support character now. I'm useful!!!

When the star(s) ran out, Team Douchebag found a weird purple dude with streamers hanging from his sleeves.

Punchinello: Mwa ha ha! With these carefully placed bombs near the euphoria flowers, EVERYONE will become metrosexual like me!
Geno: Um....I think that's not such a good idea.
Punchinello: You dare disturb ME?


The name's rass. KICKINYOURASS!
Punchinello: Touche.
Go Mallow, prove yourself useful!


Mallow: Dang it! Psychopath again.
Geno: Dude. You're so useless.
Punchinello: That's all you got? Look at all the bombs I have!



That's it? That sucks.



Geno: Uh, hello? Copyright infringement?

Punchinello: You better watch out, cause here's the big daddy!


Punchinello: ......well, I could have put that in a better spot than directly above me.
Mallow: Aha, I figured it out! You were planning on using your bombs to blow up near the euphoria flowers to make the whole world metrosexual.
Punchinello: I just said that, not 3 minutes ago. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids! With my last breath, I take us all out!!!

*BLAMMYWAMMY*


So he got blown to pieces, and all that happened to us was that we got covered in ashes?
Geno: Oh, hey look. A star.




Dina: We wanna go on a cart ride!
Are you sure? I mean, the exit's like right there.
Dina: CART RIDDDDDDDE!
Okay, whatever.



All: YEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWW!


That a way.



See, Pa Mole? Not a scratch on us. Science doesn't apply here.

As they left Pa Mole, who was furious about his ceiling, they were greeted by weird people with powdered donuts for mouths.



Princess from the sky, eh...?

Let's go stock up on supplies before we head out.

Mallow: Oh, hey Greedy SOB, what's up?
Greedy SOB: Not much. I found some stuff. I'll sell it to you, if you want.
Geno: What do you got?


Cool. We'll take it. What else?
Greedy SOB: That's it.
Then why did you say "Item #1"?
Greedy SOB:

Mario and co. decided to head back to the mines one final time for no particular reason.


Hm.......Mi Do So Do Re La Ti Do, eh?


The store's STILL useless, but maybe next time it'll be good.


And so, having collected three out of the seven star pieces, they headed off towards Booster's place, to hopefully find the princess, so Mario would have an excuse ditch the other two, and make them find the last four stars on their own.
