Part 11: And the Password Is...

And the Password Is...

Hearing the name Booster brought back many painful memories for Mario. First of all, he was voted "Most Popular" in high school over Mario. Second, he stole Mario's business plans, and made a fortune off of them (while Mario's stuck plumbing). And now, he's doing God-knows-what with that whore of a princess.


Along Booster Way, they found a few more enemies not worth mentioning, but what the hell.

Spikesters: Our first repeat (besides Punchi's bombs). They're about as much of a joke as Spikeys were.

Latikus: Finally, we get a chance to take on these freaking guys. They're always throwing crap from their clouds. Where exactly do they fit all those guys?

Artichokers: These guys are less intimidating than Mallow.



They also found 2 more Hidden Treasures (#16 & 17)


After they had stalled for as long as they could get away with, they headed on to Booster Tower. Little did they know that an old acquaintance of Mario's was already there.


Pretty good. So......how are things?
Bowser: Not good, man. Not good at all. First of all, that douche came in and took over my castle and destroyed the bridge for no apparent reason; second, all my troops left me for "union rules" or something, talking about some monster town; and to top it all off, I can't make any money, since the princess is already kidnapped, and you can't pay me to kidnap her for your rescue sex.


Peach: I KNEW it!

Sonuva...
Bowser: Oh, uh, sorry bout that. I had no idea she was up there. Who's place is this, anyways?
Some jerk by the name of Booster. You might not know him.
Bowser: KNOW him? That guy was in my frat at college. Every time I'd bring home a date, he'd either run her off or run off with her. Do you know how hard it already is getting a date when you're a freakish turtle?
Let's go teach that guy a lesson.
Bowser: The lesson being: you mess with the koopa, you're gonna get the shell!
....needs a little work.



Awesome. Let's get this party started.


Dang it, not that one!

As they moved through Booster Tower, they ran into many new and rip-off enemies.


Spookums: They kinda look like the beetle dudes, but are blue....that's about it.

Jesters: Why are the clowns doing the disco? I have no idea.


Orb Users: Okay. I can buy talking mushrooms, but these guys are supposed to be inanimate objects.


Snifits: Ah, the donut mouthed beetle guys. You know, come to think of it, they are called sniffits; maybe that donut mouth is really a donut nose...


Rob-Ombs: A sweet rip-off of Bob-Ombs.


Blasters: You see a big cannon and think it'll be tough. You're wrong.

Remo Cons: It honestly looks like this guy is going commando. I'm not sure what they were trying to insinuate here, but I can't really see anything else when I look at it.


Fireballs: Very, very original naming scheme.


Chomps: Since the only dogs in this world are robot ones, I guess these are supposed to be real dogs. I mean, they have the dog bark and the dog bite. Plus, they're inhumanely chained up.





They also found 4 more Hidden Treasures (18-21).

Back to the story. As they moved up the tower of not-so-certain peril, they ran into none other than Booster himself a couple times.


Yeah, that you can only afford cause you jacked my business proposals!
Geno: Did your mom drop you on your head as a baby, or something? You're dumber than Mallow.
Mallow: Seriously.


Take what? You didn't do anything?
Booster: I.....I.......





That was a pretty elaborate scheme for a hammer.


Mama mia! What did I smoke this time?



Good thing I remembered what order the Boosters were in.


Love.............love hurts.......


Upgrade.......TO THE MAX!!!



Mallow: (whispered) zoom zoom
Geno: That is SO freaking annoying.

When they finally reached the top, Mario saw the Princess outside a locked door.

So anyways.....what you heard me and Bowser talking about was a joke, aight?
*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*
What was that?



Behind the curtains. This plan is foolproof!

Booster: Where's my Mario doll? I schemed that dude out of so much money, it's only natural that I have an action figure of him.





Geno: Just get the doll for him. He'll probably open the door, and we can follow him out to get the princess. There'll be time for grudges later.
Fine...



Booster: Don't I know you from somewhere?
Snifit 1: .....the doll.
Booster: Ooh, yeah. You DO look a lot like the Mario doll. Imagine that. Welp. See ya later.

Booster: And the password is...


That sounds vaguely familiar...
Bowser: Cmon! Let's get this show on the road.


Knife Guy: Not so fast.
Mallow: Who are you?
Knife Guy: I'm Hans.


Grate Guy: And I'm Franz.
Both: And we're going to pump *clap* you up.
Geno:
Bowser: .......BOWSER SMAAAAAAAAASH!
*ow*doh*owie*ungh*


Niiiiiiiiice, Bowser.
Geno: I helped, too! I gave him Geno Boost!
......nice job, Geno.......
Geno: Dang straight.


Peach: There's something seriously wrong with you, isn't there?
Booster: ......yes.


You'd think with how far I can jump that I could catch up to this guy.





Oh no! He took her into the conveniently-placed marriage town, Marrymore!

That's it for now. Join us next time for TURTLE CHEF!
