Mario and the Golden Goddess

"Hm let's see what we can learn about Peach?" Bowser said flipping through Peach's diary. "Let's see what we can learn hear.....favorite color pink (boring)," Bowser said flipping through the pages. "Favorite person wouldn't you like to know (really that's it)," Bowser said disappointed. "Least favorite person Toad's Worth he is always so protective and always breathing down my neck, geez just chill old man you are going to have a heart attack (people have those in the mushroom kingdom right??)," Bowser read with some interest. "Now for my deepest darkest secret no one shall ever know," Bowser read with anticipation. "Please don't turn this page and read its very private," Bowser read (please like I am going to listen to some book). "Oh I can't wait to read this page," Bowser said as he flipped the page.

"I actually, secretly don't mind Bowser kidnapping me," Bowser read in shock. "Its nice to get a break from everything," Bowser said in shock. "Wait so that means that awwwwwwwww," Bowser said as the floor beneath him gave away. "I knew you losers would find a way to get me killed," Bowser screamed as he was falling. "I hope all of you can live with the guilt of failing a great Bowwwwssssseeeerrrr," Bowser said as the trap door snapped back into place.

Don't worry its not entirely your fault. When Bowser took over Peach's castle a while back he placed some traps. Well most of the traps were taken care of except for one. When Bowser walked into a giant door with a star, there was a picture of Peach . Well the picture was slowly turning into Bowser meant to trap Mario. Bowser was so enamored with reading Peach's dirary he didn't notice one of his own traps or the fact that the area was heavily sealed off. Don't worry though Bowser isn't dead. He's just about to run into an old friend.

Okay polls are still open even though it's probably safe to say B is going to win.

Working on Bowser's grand entrance into OZ and just like Bowser himself it can't be anything less then awesome. (Stop X you are right of course but still rub it in a little more).

Also this is probably like the millionth change I am making to the battle system but I think I found a way to make it more streamlined.

First, I doing away with the skill and speed, stats b/c pretty much unless there is an ability that affects accuracy then all attacks will connect. Luck will still be one of the stats. So for unsure stats items pertaining to skill and speed you will get coins eaqul to what they are worth. Also I know some paired up bonuses affect the removed stats but I tweaked the ones unaffected to make up for that.

Second, I am doing away with individual flower points. Instead of doing individual flower points it will be like the paper Mario games and the flower points are shared by everyone. So for example Mario does fire instead of just having it cost himself 3 flower points it will cost the group 3 flower points. This way its coming from one source. That means the flower points will be increased dramatically to compensate for the new group pool (starting at 100 and increases every by 10 after every 10 levels Mario gets and by 5 for using stat boosters).

Third, I know I have a discussion topic already but I might start up another one to clear up everything but we will see about that

That's all I can think of for now. But expect a camp screen coming up in a couple of posts along with the intro to Ch. 1 (spoilers). Ha your going to have to wait for that. Again hope everyone is enjoying it. And just know that its all because of you the readers and voters why this is still going strong thank you to everyone out there.

Sorry about the delay guys just been busy lately well you guys voted for Bowser to see Emmarine. Well this is what he saw.

Location; Some place in Plegia

   When Bowser opened his eyes it seemed like he was in the middle of some desert in some entrance way to a building. Bowser was confused.... curious to his surroundings so he went to go check his surroundings. The first thing Bowser noticed was a dead winged horse and its rider just lying there with a bunch of archers surrounding them. Bowser shrugged his shoulders at the dead winged horse and young lady lying there mainly because he didn't really care. What caught Bowser's attention were the archers they appeared to be dead to but they were moving and they had black smoke coming out of their mouth. The archers appeared to have their bows pointed towards a young lady that Bowser found out was named Emmarine.

      "Give up now unless you want to see your sister filled with arrows," the person Bowser would come to find out is named Gangrel yelled towards some people that were unimportant to Bowser. "I will not have you do that to them there is only one thing to do,.... I love you brother," Emmarine called out as she made her way to the edge of the cliff.. "Hey nobody does that to people unless its me of course," Bowser said as he decided to do something about this. "Hey you stupid jerk trying to up stage me, I will show you," Bowser said as he rushed to catch the falling Emmarine. While Bowser was rushing towards the falling Emmarine he rushed right through the archers complete with the pins being knocked over by a bowling ball sound effect. Then Bowser with style, grace, and awesome sauce caught Emmarine in one arm and landed with authority.

      Upon landing Gangrel ordered the archers to attack Bowser but the arrows had no chance against Bowser's magnificent shell. "Gwa ha ha, losers tell me how my flames taste," Bowser said as he unleased a majestic flame towards the archers. The risen archers had no chance against Bowser's almighty flames and disappeared into black smoke. "Oh yeah that's what you get for messing with Bowser baby," Bowser said triumphantly.

      "How dare you mess with my plans I had everything going according to plan, your dead," Gangrel yelled towards Bowser as he went to attack Bowser. Well until Gangrel got pistol? whipped by Bowser's awe impressive tail. While Gangrel was still recovering from what happened Bowser gave him the mocking of a life time, Bowser winded up his mighty fists and sent Gangrel airborne. "Gwa ha ha you loser that's what happen when you mess with greatness loser," Bowser said triumphantly. When everything eventually settled down a bunch of people looked like they had questions for Bowser's which he may or may not answer in the next post.

Location; Peach's Castle

"I was having the greatest of dreams but you jerks had to go and ruin it," Bowser moaned towards Kammy and Kamek. "Your awfulness are you okay?" Kamek asked. "Please this stupid oaf is unfortunately hard to kill sigh," Kammy bemoaned. "Dad you okay you took a nasty spill down the steps you were knocked out cold," Bowser Jr said who visibly upset. "Now now son its going to take more then stairs to take out your old man," Bowser said very triumphantly. "Nevertheless I got in touch with some old friends your stupidness and they agreed to help," Kammy said.

"Who would that be, is there something I should know about?" Bowser sneered towards Kammy. "Please you remember the Koopa bros they were happy to be able to help you again when I talked to them," Kammy retorted. "Aw the Koopa Bros good kids, I hope they are doing well" Bowser said while in a trans. "Dad I am afraid i got some bad news," Bowser Jr said. "It has nothing to do with my car does it?" Bowser asked worried. "Well sire somebody decided to chuck furniture from a second story window and the furniture kind of shattered all over the place," Kamek said. "Worse is that the safe landed on the golden mushroom I found and shattered it," Kamek added. "Oh well that stinks about the furniture the bed is still in one piece right." Bowser asked. "Surprisingly yes," Kammy said rather surprised. "Oh well that stinks about golden object.... what is that on my car," Bowser said making a bee line for his car. As Bowser got close to the car the screen zooms in to what appears to be a tiny scratch that is almost invincible to the naked eye.

"What have you done to my baby?" Bowser asked pounding the ground. "Well dad it turns out one of the splinters nicked the paint a little bit. " Noooooooooooooo," Bowser let out a mighty yell as the screen faded to black.

(End of Scene)

The screen shows Mario running across as he runs the following scene appears right behind him.

Location; Toad Town Square

"So it was you the entire time?" Peach commented to Rosalina as she nodded her head in agreement. Mario went over to Rosalina and asked what the heck why did she have to go and lie to them like that. "Mario, Peach, everybody I was going to tell you eventually, but for certain reasons I had to keep my identity a secret," Rosalina said. "I did intend tell everyone, but, please know I am here to help," Rosalina said to the group. "Mama.....I am......sorry," Prince Luma told Rosalina. "Its okay son I should have let you know before I left," Rosalina told Prince Luma in a comforting matter. "I want to know what exactly you are trying to help us out with?" Luigi asked. "Well its a long story but here goes nothing," Rosalina said as she explains the situation to Mario and friends.

Rosalina told Mario and his friends how one of her children overheard Bowser's plan to awaken an ancient godess. This goddess is unlike anything Mario has ever faced and she feared for not only his safety but the safety of the world if she was awaken. Rosalina heard stories of how she is capable of great destruction but realizing Flan was upset at that statement she added but she is still learning about the goddess. Rosalina heard that in order to awaken this goddess that objects of gold have to be found throughout the land and brought to her alter to awaken her.

"Makes sense why Bowser was after that golden mushroom dud," Peach said. "So where should we go next?" Luigi asked. "Well this map should.... hey what's the big idea?" Daisy yelled towards Wario. "Ametures it takes somebody with real experience to read a map," Wario growled towards Daisy. "Stupid map must be broken its completly blank," Wario said in frustration. "Um Wario I think the map is backwards?" Bario said. "I knew that grrrr," Wario said in a mix of frustration and embarrassment. "That oaf, aww as long as I am with you Robby, I don't care where that oaf leads us," Ashley said while enamored with Robin who just sigh. "Looks like our next destination is there," Wario said pointing towards what looks like an abandoned fortress. "Oh not there again," Bario moaned.

"Why what's wrong with that place?" Bella asked. "That's where those annoying brothers are," Bario bemoaned in reference to the Koopa bros. "Well looks like we are all in agreement about moving on then," Luigi said. "Yeah but let's make sure we are fully prepared," Rosalina said as everybody agreed.
