[Mr. Game & Watch]

The Sunshine Stadium was a place that Mr. Game & Watch was quite familiar with! Who could forget the many great battles he waged within these walls! In fact, he was the person who made the Stadium famous in the first place. Back in the day when he ran that tournament, challenging any third dimensional fighter to best him in the ring, no one even knew the name of that combat arena back then! And who could forget the Life Sphere’s one and only pet show, they couldn’t possibly top it without him and his goldfish, and that’s why there was never a second pet show!

Ah, but he digressed. He was here to foot the bill of a new project, one being run by some clown and his hat. Whether this so-called Mario Party would catch on, Mr. G&W didn’t know, but one thing was for certain, he was going to sell it. It was going to be the talk of the town.

The flat man waddled through the halls of the stadium, his bleep-blooping echoing to infinity. His flat foot hit the dust of the arena, his head searching to the sky to see the Life Sphere’s simulated sun. As soon as he arrived though, a metal whirring sound entered his earholes, the roofless stadium slowly outfitting itself with a dome-like roof like a baseball stadium trying to cover itself from the rain. Once it was shut, the arena was shrouded in darkness. All Mr. Game & Watch could feel was a sudden and strong gust of wind, so much so that he was slightly concerned he would get swept up and blown away.

A series of spotlights narrowed their view to him, though it seemed there were several others searching the grounds as if trying to find the other targets, his competition. With the advantage of being able to see again, he suddenly noticed that the floor had somehow changed from the stoney dirt of the Sunshine Stadium to a sleek almost plastic green.

The sound of another spotlight flicking on revealed MC Ballyhoo at the absolute middle of the Stadium, arms outreached like a magician performing a trick. Unlike his usual attire, MC Ballyhoo was decked out in a green faceless morph suit with ping pong balls seemingly randomly placed all around it. “AH HAH HA! It looks like our main attraction arrived just in time!” he announced as the spotlights continued to circle around the stadium, trying to find the other three. “Don’t mind the people working the spotlights, folks, we had to hire on some interns.”

“Unpaid interns” Big Top elaborated.

“Pish, posh, Big Top! They are getting paid! In exposure!” MC Ballyhoo corrected. “If the rest of you are out there, give our interns a little bit of a hand trying to find you! We could turn on the lights, but I wouldn’t want to ruin the ambiance!”

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"And here I thought that I would have a chance to not only meet Mr. Game & Watch himself, but also have fun in the process with some good competition." a voice would say as Shantae arrived on her Storm Puff Cloud and hopped off, letting it dissipate.

"Now to wait for the other two, and begin this shindig." she added, clearly anticipating two others while taking a drink of water.

[PSYCH]

Magical energy shaped itself into a glowing ring and a spotlight soon found Wendy’s position. The female Koopaling ignited a second ring and span them both around her wrists before tossing them into the air.

”Ha-HAH!” She called out, turning in a pirouette, “Let’s get this party STARTED!” She struck a pose and caught the magic rings as they landed.

[TartoonHand94]

Having found Mr. Game & Watch, Shantae, and Wendy, one would wonder what was takingthe fourth spotlight so long to find its target. No one wondered moreso than its target, who in a loss of patience, snorted a signal flare of fire, lighting up his location in the darkness.
Solch Verzögerung! I’m Right Here, you blind Swoop!”[/font] He growled at the lighting operator, just as they found their mark. Upon realizing his outburst paid off, he hastily turned around and struck a pose.

“Prost! For ‘tis not a party...” Spreading his arms wide, revealing a magic wand in one, he twirled around and gracefully traced his signature emblem in the space around him with a lingering trail of sparkling shapes.
“...Until Ludwig von Koopa crashes it!”Once completed, the temporary work of art matched the silhouette of his grim grinning mug uncannily, before dissipating by catching on fire, surrounding him in ominous flames for a split second, but long enough to leave an impression.

Show up his sister Wendy? How ever could he resist? Match wits with veteran as seasoned as Mr. Game & Watch? He relished breaking the streak. Settle the score with Shantae? Oh how he’d been waiting…

With the spotlights finally finding the four fateful fighters, the incredibly bit-crunched sound of a studio audience reverberated throughout the coliseum. “AH HAH HA! The gang’s all here!” MC Ballyhoo exclaimed excitedly. Suddenly, he threw his microphone away and lifted his arms to the sky. “Now, let’s show off the power of modern technology!” he continued, his voice managing to stay the same octave even without the power of the microphone, truly a feat only capable through the power of their advanced virtual dome!

The spotlights would give way to the fluorescent lights emanating from the floors and walls of the dome, as if they were being transported to the digital world. The dome made their surroundings look as though they were in space, the twinkling stars surrounding them no matter where they looked, unless they looked beneath their feet, which they would find platforms that looked to be imported directly from the infamous Final Destination, the realm of the Master Hand. It caused Mr. Game & Watch to pull up his bubble shield for a second, a sudden spark of fear that Fox would zip in from nowhere and flash his reflector shield in his face. It dissipated with the relief of time though.

Looking back at Ballyhoo, the quartet would find him floating in the void, sat atop the little recovery platform that fighters would respawn on after being blasted off stage. He held his arms out as if he was in mid-magical girl transformation. His green morph suit would quickly transition to that of his normal purple duds and big red bowtie. He jazzed his hands upon completion. “Technology!”

Big Top rolled his eyes. “Wow, I’m glad we could invest all this money into making a digital version of your regular outfit…”

“Oh, Big Top, you’re always seeing the forest for the trees! But let’s get this show on the road!” he announced, juggling four dies in his one hand. He tossed them forth, each of them bouncing through the void until they appeared over the heads of each of the contestants. Each clearly had six sides, but they randomly flashed numbers from one to ten regardless of which side it was. “First things first, we’re going to decide who’s first!”

“And descending to who’s worst.”

“Just smash that dice block and see what number you get!”

MC Ballyhoo’s floating platform slid to the side, letting the four gaze into the void a bit more easily. They wouldn’t be exposed to the vast emptiness for too long though as three portals opened, each showcasing a different board with an exciting landscape. “Once you’re done, jump on through the portal to your preferred pick of our three greatest boards!”

“You mean the only ones that got through alpha testing?”

“Shush, Big Top!” he rasped as his floating platform circled back around stopping at the first portal. “First up on the block, my personal favourite Undersea Dream!”

“This is… well, some would say standard, I prefer classic, Mario Party board! The star will appear on random spaces across the board and it’ll be a race to see who gets there first! Watch out though! If you don’t have 20 coins, you won’t be able to afford it! Once someone buys a star, it will move to another random location across the map, so make sure you’re making the right turns at those intersections! If someone is about to get the star, you might want to take a different route! Also keep in mind our vending machine friend will give you a free item every time you pass him! You’ll get the chance to use one item at the start of every turn too, so keep that in mind! Oh! And you can have as many items as you want, don’t be worried about having to throw them away, unless you really want to!”

“Allow me to present Snowflake Lake! The best Mario Party map in my humble opinion! This one is certainly special, and let me tell you why! Instead of the normal chasing down stars that every other map plays by, this one everyone starts out with ten stars! Here’s the catch though, the only way you’ll get anymore than that is by stealing from your competitors! Oh! How I hate the violence brought on by this map, but it certainly excels the drama! How do you steal from your opponents? Well, you’re going to have to ask the Chain Chomps at the dog houses with the green arrows! For a fee, they’ll let you ride them and whoever you bump by will either lose some stars or some health! Whatever you decide! Unlike the last board, you will be getting free items from the yellow circles found on the map, and you can follow the pink arrows into the shop so you can have a better selection of what items you’ll get! For a fee of course!”

“And last but certainly not least, we have Koopa’s Tycoon Town! What every Mario Party board strives to be! Much like the previous board, you won’t be chasing after stars, but chasing after property! While moving around the map, you’ll be stopping at these hotels with the yellow arrows. They’ll be asking for your coins, and the more coins you invest the bigger the hotels will become! The bigger the hotel, the more stars they will give you! Watch out though, only the highest investor gets to keep all the stars! Much like the previous board, you can get free items by passing by the little candy spaces on the board, but if you wanna try shopping instead, you can head over to the concession stands with the pink arrows!”

“Just remember, whichever one you pick, we all lose…”

“Nonsense, Big Top! Now, let’s get the ball rolling shall we!? As our honoured guest, Mr. Game & Watch, will you be so kind as to be the first to hit your dice block! We’ll also let you go last for picking the board, we don’t want everyone picking a board because the Life Sphere’s greatest hero did it first!”

---

Mr. Game & Watch placed his hands at his hips victoriously. Not only was his status being respected, but his half-genie opponent was clearly a fan of his work, making his job at winning this children’s game all the easier. The two Koopalings were of no concern to him either, merely children trying to copy Bowsers legacy, whereas Mr. G&W was his own man, with his own goals, such as winning this virtual board game.

The flat man pulled out his judgement hammer and smashed the dice block to smithereens. The digital cube exploded into small bits of data, revealing the number yU8iGDSsp_1d10. With a triumphant fist pump, he pulled out his bell and let it ring through the void of space and time. Clearly, rolling the highest meant that victory was already assured!

(OOC: just for clarification, be sure to roll 1d10 and then have your character hop into whichever portal you prefer)

"Oh great, natural progression; how thoroughly delightful and delicious." Shantae said with a smirk, her gaze shifting to Ludwig Von Koopa as she said this.  She knew that she was going to have a good time, even if the odds were eventually stacked against her so she took a chance and struck the dice block, surprisingly enough...

Roll for position: LsI85oa7p_1d10

"Hrmmm...  not bad, but I think I can do a little better depending on how the Koopalings place." Shantae mused as she walks over to one of the portals.  "I'm either at an advantage or disadvantage depending on what I pick and thank goodness that I have something that makes the Undersea Dream perfect for me to swim in..." Shantae added with a giggle that would clue someone in on what she chose for her attempt to mess with Ludwig Von Koopa and ensure that she could outsmart him.1d10

[PSYCH]

Wendy was already distracted during the MC’s explanation of initial rules, glaring over at her big brother’s stupid smug face. What was he doing here? Flashbacks of middle child trauma at the hands of her sibling flared in her mind. Stupid Ludwig wheeling out his big dumb piano to upstage her at every opportunity. Well, not this time!

Wendy’s magic wand materialized in her hands and she traced sparkling lines over her assigned dice block creating a silhouette of Ludwig but this one was a crude caricature of the eldest Koopaling with messy hair, googly eyes and a tongue sticking out. She then jumped up and swung her wand at it like a baseball bat shattering both block and magical image.

iMnp7clyp_1d10

Wendy gritted her teeth with frustration at having the lowest dice score out of the group so far, and stamped off into the Undersea Dream portal grumbling to herself and dragging her jewelled wand behind her like a heavy club. Water worlds tended to be a specialty of hers so maybe she could somehow use her familiarity with aquatic terrain to her advantage.

[TartoonHand94]

“All of this advanced technology merely to simulate what Koopa magic could achieve for all too real.” Ludwig scoffed, making it clear for the record that he was above being bedazzled be the awe-inspiring environmental enhancements. He almost put his wand away when he noticed Wendy using hers to roll her dice.
Was that… a discourteous cartoon a caricature of him? Two can play at that game and the game was just beginning! A swinging swish of his wand cast the calligraphic portrait of… a Birdo with Wendy’s bow and high heels. The magical projection animated itself sucking up the dice block, apparently gorging itself quite full, before exploding the dice from inside itself, destroying the work of art in the process, but revealing in its place, a…

“So ein mist, but at least I’m not the lowest.~” Ludwig smirked, wiping residue off his wand as if it were a paintbrush. “Know this, Mr. Game & Watch, by the precedent I’ve set with this role, I will gain upon catch up to, dethrone thee as the life of this party!” He gave one last declarative point with his wand before dignifiedly stowing it away.
“Now to decide the board upon which to do so… Seems both the Frauen are keen to have a beach day.” He couldn't help but notice both Shantae and Wendy chose Undersea Dream. “As keen as I’d be to join you both, particularly the one who goes to work in a bikini top, I do ever so loathe getting my hair wet.” He excused with a refined flourish of his hair. “Must be nice to not have to mind that, huh Wendy?” He chortled as he made his selection.
“If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be commanding a pack of Chain Chomps and seizing Stars like a Real Koopa. A real Cool Koopa.” He cracked his knuckles and backflipped through his portal. “Bis später~!”

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The dies had been cast, and naturally, fate had determined Mr. Game & Watch as the ultimate victor! As if there was any doubt after he skillfully rolled the highest number. Even if the other three had each rolled ten, he would have just rolled ten a second time! It seemed that the white haired Koopaling was frustrated with rightfully winning his silver metal, flaunting to him that he would reclaim the first-place prize. Mr. G&W scoffed at this idea with a ring-a-ling and a throw of his hand. From his hand he produced a big sign that displayed the number one and pointed to himself with his thumb victoriously.

It was decide-time though. Placing his mitt like hand to his non-existent chin, he had to think strategically. He much preferred the idea of Koopa’s Tycoon town. Afterall, if he won all the mini-games, the other three would have no possible way to invest more money than him, because he would have all the money! Yes, he much liked this idea! Without a moment’s hesitation, he pixel-ran his way to the portal,, letting his fireman crew launch him through with their trampoline.

Upon being thrust through the portal, everything was warped into a pitch whiteness, up until it faded away with a blurriness and a watery veil! The four contestants would find themselves sitting in the bottom half of a rather large clam shell on the bottom on the sea floor! Luckily, there was a distinct lack of oceanic pressure to weigh them down and no water to fill up their lugs either, very convenient!

In the distance though, any of the four might notice a bright figure zipping through the sea anemones, then past the rocks. It was ever so quickly swimming closer toward them until it flourished right in front of their clam shell, bombastically exploding his arms out. “AH HA HA HA! I hope you packed your sea legs, folks!” he announced, flicking his magenta mermaid tail that seamlessly blended with his body. “Welcome to your Undersea Dream! Let’s have a little role call to make sure you all made it through cyberspace alright! He needs no introduction, and if you need one just consult his statue in Rainbow Square, he’s our player one, Mr. Game & Watch!”

“… That statue was torn down the second it was unveiled.”

“What!? No one told me!”

“It’s literally what its most famous for.”

“Huh, I blame this 24-hour news cycle for not keeping me informed! Anywhoo! Playing our player number two, we have Ludwig von Koopa! The clear favourite of the Koopalings!”

“… I thought Jr. was Bowser’s favourite.”

“Shush, Big Top! We have enough sibling rivalry going on without bringing him up! As I was saying, our third stringer is Shantae! Half-Genie/Half-Regular in the Sunshine Stadium! The competition better watch out if she brings in her skills from the ring!”

“Yeah, I think most people have an easier time in the fighting ring than in Mario Party though…”

“And rounding out the rear we have the Koopaling princess herself! Wendy O’Koopa! It might seem like it was random chance that the two Koopalings have a Shantae dividing them, but I assure you folks at home, just like in a car ride on a long family road trip, we need someone to keep them divided!”

“Wait, don’t tell me this is the type of Mario Party where we put everyone into a car!”

“Oh heavens no, Big Top! We don’t condone torture, Big Top! This is Mario Party classic! And you know what we do in Mario Party classic!? We race for the stars! Each costing 20 coins! Speaking of! Allow me to distribute your free ten starting coins!”

From the ocean sky above, a raining of coins fell upon all four of the contestants’ heads, ten to be exact!

“Only ten? How are they going to afford a star with only ten coins?” Big Top asked in a very dry and plain manner, as if reading off a script.

“The perfect question, Big Top! You see, every time someone lands on a blue space, they’ll receive a whole three coins! You better watch out for the red ones though! You land on a red space and you’ll lose three coins instead! If you’re still thirsting for coins, there’s always the mini-game at the end of each round! In the normal mini-game, you’ll have a chance to win ten more coins if you come in first. There’s always a chance for battle and coin mini-games though, which might turn the tables on the fat cats who think they’re coin hoards are safe! No one is safe here!”

“Without much further ado! Let’s see where that star is!” Ballyhoo boasted as he turned around, hand fanned out above his eyes. Like a flower poking out of the ground, the star arose over one of the blue spaces on the bridge. “AHA! There it is! Not too far either, someone will for sure get it before our ten-turn time limit is up! Until then!” he waved goodbye as he swam away.

Board Rules:
Capsule Machine:
When your character crosses the pink arrow, it does not count as a space on the board, thus does not reduce the number of spaces you can move this turn. Instead, you get a free item, which is determined by rolling 1d50. Some of the items that you receive will operate the same way that they do according to the item list, while others are exclusive to this mission and will have a description accompanying them. Traps that can be placed on the board can only be placed 7 spaces in front or behind the user’s current position and must be a blue or red space. Traps cannot be triggered by the user landing on them, except for the Bob-Omb Capsule. The items and their correlating numbers are as followed

1-6 -> Food
7-10 -> Maxim Tomato
11-14 -> Double Dice Mushroom: Allows the user to roll two dice blocks, if the numbers are matching, they receive 10 coins as well!
15-17 -> Triple Dice Mushroom: Allows the user to roll three dice blocks, if all three numbers are matching, they receive 30 coins!
18-22 -> Poison Dice Mushroom: The user may use this on themselves or an opponent of their choosing. Instead of rolling 1d10 they roll a 1d5 during this turn.
23-24 -> Bowlo Candy: The user turns into a ball! They still roll 1d10, however, if they pass by an opponent, they steal 10 coins from them and if the opponent fails a dodge roll of 13, they take 18% damage as well.
25-30 -> Flashlight: This item repels any boo that may try to target the user.
31-32 -> Thwomp Capsule: Can either be placed on the board as a trap or used on an opponent directly by paying 5 coins. Should the target fail a dodge roll of 15, they will take 30% damage. If blocked, the user will lose 15 coins.
33-34 -> Bob-Omb Capsule: Can only be placed on the board as a trap. Once placed, after this Bob-Omb has been passed or landed on a total of three times, the third passer-by will have a lit bomb placed on their lap and suddenly explode. This deals 25% damage and cannot be blocked or dodged.
35-36 -> Kamek Capsule: Kamek will steal one random item from each player and redistribute them to each player randomly.
37-38 -> Hammer Bros Capsule: Can either be placed on the board as a trap or used on an opponent directly by paying 5 coins. Should the target fail a dodge roll of 17, they will take 18% damage and lose 3d4 coins. If blocked, the user still loses coins.
39-41 -> Warp Box: The user rolls 1d3 (or 1d2 if there are only three players left), 1 being the player at the highest turn order, 3 being the player at the lowest turn order. Whichever the result, the user will trade places with the player called.
42-43 -> Tweester Capsule: The Tweester comes onto the scene to gobble up the star, causing a new star to appear somewhere else on the map.
44-45 -> Duelo Candy: Allows the user to roll two dice blocks, but also fills them with a furious rage. The first player the user crosses paths with will bring upon a duel, the wager being set by the user, whether it be stars or coins. The user may choose to bet a star from the target and not one of their own if they have 40 coins to offer instead. The winner of the duel minigame gets everything, if there is a draw, everything is returned to both players.
46 -> Chance Time Capsule: The user brings upon chance time! A topsy turvy minigame that could either spell disaster for everyone, or a gracious reward to one of the players. Sometimes both.
47-48 -> Boo Capsule: A cheeky boo is summoned before you. He gives you an offer. For free, he can steal coins from a player of your choosing. The target will lose 5d5 coins, which will then be generously donated to the user. For 10 coins though, the boo will rough up a target of your choosing. The boo will take possession of the target, dealing 3d10 – INT Mod damage to the target, which is cannot be blocked or avoided. Lastly, for 40 coins, the boo will steal a star from a player of your choosing.
49 -> Custom Dice Block: instead of rolling a dice, you can pick a number from 1-10 and go that exact amount of spaces.
50 -> Magic Lamp: As steam releases from the lamp, you are transported to another realm, one full of clouds and a large genie wearing a pair of watermelon pants. He grants you the greatest wish of them all and transports you directly to the star space.

Turn Order:
The turn order will go as dictated by the die rolls made at the beginning of the game. If a capsule was used on you by another player, you will determine its outcome at the beginning of your next turn. However, should a player use an item/capsule that requires me to make a mod post (such as a Tweester, Kamek, Chance Time, Duelo (if the user passes by an opponent)), then please wait for me to make a mod post before continuing the turn order. The same goes for if a player lands on a DK, Bowser, or ? space. If a duel is taking place, please allow the two dueling parties to finish their minigame, though you may post as a spectator to the events taking place if you so please (in which case you may ignore turn order).

Star Placement:
After a star is acquired, I will move the star in a mod post, in which case the current player’s turn is halted and then resumed afterwards. For the sake of fairness and avoiding favouritism, the star placement will be determined with a 1d62 roll (the number of eligible spaces on the board, 1 being the first space on the board, and looping around until we reach 62 as the space behind it, it’s a bit wonky due to the branching paths. I can make a diagram to show how it operates if necessary). In the situation that the star is rolled to go in the position where it already is or on a position that another player is currently standing on, I will re-roll until a valid number is achieved. The star space does not count toward your total movement, so, if you arrive at the star with 1 space left to move you will land on the space neighbouring the star. In addition, if there is a trap on the space where the star is placed, it will be nullified completely.

DING-DONG!

Mr. Game & Watch was up first! Before he knew it, the dice appeared above his head once more! The numbers spun around and where it stopped, well, only lady luck would know! He was going to be the first one to make a move, so it had to be a good one! Reshaping his head into a diver’s helmet, he smashed the digital die into micro-bits!

5cfOrAFqp_1d10 <5>

Five! That’s a respectable number! Good enough to electrocute his enemies, good enough to move him forward and onto the board! He made his first step, eyeing the Cheep Cheep that looked to be selling pearls from a clam’s mouth… bold move. Not sure what his story was. Before he got far though, his attention was drawn to the vending machine as he wiggled his tiny stick arms. He was certain he was saying something, but all he could hear was “BUB DUB BUB BOB” before he popped a capsule from his mouth which landed before Mr. Game & Watch’s feet.

p_1d50 <30>

… It looked like a tiny flashlight in one of those toy capsules. Well, he wasn’t sure when he’d use one of these, but he supposed it was better than being empty handed. He plucked it off the ground and stuffed it… somewhere on his person. He continued down the path, only to be caught at a crossroads. It didn’t even take simple math to know that the path on the left was longer, so G&W went right, landing right on a blue space. The extra money falling on his head feeling extra good!

[TartoonHand94]

Despite explicitly choosing different boards, Ludwig and Mr. Game & Watch were stuck complying with Wendy and Shantae’s vote, being dumped into the ocean. What was the point of letting them vote, then? This is why the Koopa Kingdom is not a democracy.
“So much for not getting my hair wet.” Ludwig sighed with a pout. Oh? Wait a minute, there wasn’t any water wetting his hair. What sort of sorcery is this? Oh yeah. Illusions. Cheap 3D tricks. AR Games and whatnot. So much for drowning out the competition for that matter.

Ludwig’s demeanor seemed to immediately flip to one of pleasantry by having his ego appeased by calling him the favourite. He closed his eyes and puffed out his chest in agreement…till Big Top made his eyes rip open and shoot daggers at him. He’d be spending the rest of the party secretly strategizing how to enact a get-back at that hat. Second in priority only to winning this party and finding a way to capture and contain Shantae. Whether it be upon a star or a genie, he Will have his wish! Even if it means having to double cross his sister for it. Especially if it means getting to double cross his siter for it. As handy an ally she’s always been when teaming up against the Mushroom Kingdom, it’s every Koopaling for themselves in Mario Party. Unless it’s a 2v2, in which case he’d trust her with his life. Considering her life would be at stake too.

Ludwig caught the 10 coins in a stack and stored them in his shell. He wasn’t going to ruin his hair for the sheer whimsy of storing them in there. (Besides that’s where he keeps his-you know what, never mind.)
“The first 10 of 99. That Coin Star’s as good as mine~.”

“So the first Star is There huh? A mere 13 Spaces away.” Ludwig assessed the situation. “With only 2 Red Spaces of risk in the way, with an ensured victory in the mini game, it should be mine by the next turn! Now to take the first step...” Ludwig took a deep breath and with precision timing, jumped up and struck the dice block like an eighth note.

Kqb10crbp_1d10 <6>

“Gwahaha! Take that, Flat-Man! Now all I’ll need is an 8 and that first Star is Mine!” Ludwig purred as he strut his way past the black billboard to his rightful place ahead of him. But not before making a withdrawal from the item dispenser.

p_1d50 <13> Double Dice Mushroom

“Surely this here mushroom will soon prove one turn to be… Of use to me~…” ♪ Ludwig smirked cunninly as he fondled the Double Dice Mushroom with his claws with a taunt-like glee. Je t'aime et je suis reconnaissant que tu respectes mon droit de le dire de cette façon.

"I tend to find that Koopaling rather annoying, oh well, tome to get the lead out and make him learn a lesson about why he shouldn't ask for a wish from me." Shantae would say, smacking the die with her prehensile ponytail hair whip to smack the dice block

Dice Roll for movement: Vvxf8jWWp_1d10(Pretty decent roll if I do say so myself)

"Hehe...  Guess I get to move three spaces.  Not bad." and Shantae makes her move, and upon reaching the same vending machine that Mr. Game & Watch have passed she would get her item.

Roll for item: p_1d50(Triple Dice Mushroom!)

Shantae them landed on the spot just in front of the pink arrow, happily holding onto her Item, thankfully she doesn't have to worry about problems unless someone unexpectedly decided to make something happen.

Wendy greedily counted her starting coins as the others made their rolls and set off, leaving the Koopaling waiting at the back of the group. By the time it got to her first turn, she was seething with impatience and jabbed her wand at the dice to shoot it to pieces with an energy ring projectile.

Ge9jDra9p_1d10

"Oh, come on!" She growled, as once again the dice gods frowned upon her. Wendy took a teeny step forward one space, thankfully onto a blue one, and received three more coins with a greedy snatch as she muttered something unmentionable under her breath.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Mr. Game & Watch remained stoically heroic with his hands at his hips. Not only did he have first turn advantage, but he was also way out in front compared to everyone else! Not only that, he was seven coins away from stealing that star right out from everyone’s noses. Things couldn’t be going any better! Is what he would be thinking if that dreaded blue haired Koopa kid hadn’t bumped past him.

He was thumping his foot as he stood there, completely miffed by the fact that his lead was no longer a matter of fact, however, Ludwig still needed the coins to even have a chance at that first star, and the only way he was going to get his hands on any was winning the upcoming mini-game, which was assuredly not something Mr. G&W was going to allow him to do.

As Wendy made her triumphant walk of one whole space, MC Ballyhoo appeared above the board once more, floating an even distance from all four of them. “AH HA HA! I haven’t seen a more eventful first turn in my life, Big Top!”

“Sarcastically, I will agree”

“Sarcasm!? Preposterous Big Top! All of our contestants got their hands on some capsules! That’ll certainly turn the tide of the next turn! OWH! All except for our vivacious Wendy of course” he added with a sad drooping of his head. “That doesn’t mean a little luck can’t go a long way!” Suddenly, Ballyhoo cupped his ear. “Speaking of! I think I might be hearing something!”

Ludwig Hidden Block: p_1d100 <12>
Shantae Hidden Block: p_1d100 <78>
Wendy Hidden Block: p_1d100 <76>

After a brief moment of silence, Ballyhoo stuck his finger in his ear. “Hm! Maybe I’m hearing things!”

“I’m constantly shocked neither of us has ever experience hearing loss when we’re both so close in proximity to your voice box…”

“Ah, mama Ballyhoo thought the same!” he nodded with nostalgia. “Anyhoo! You all know what time it is now! MINI GAME TIME!” he announced, pointing into the void as a little title graphic appeared above his head. Directly next to him was a wheel of sorts, displaying the name of five minigames.

“AH HAH HA! Looks like everybody was walking down the right path this time, we got ourselves a 4-player mini-game! We’re having a free for all!” Ballyhoo slapped the graphic, his hand phasing through the thing convincing it to start spinning. “Let’s give ’er a whirl!

[Mini Game Selection: p_1d5] <3>

The graphic spun around until the glowing cursor came to a stop at the one titled “Don’t Wake Wiggler.” “… Oh good, I love the games where we harass animals for no reason.”

With a bright smile on MC Ballyhoo’s maw, he raised his arm. Upon waving it to the right, the boardgame environment was washed away into darkness, only to be transitioned into a strangely dewy forest biome. The air looked so thick and drowsy, it might convince one of the four to doze off. Though, concerningly, they were also spawned directly in front of a giant, peacefully sleeping, Wiggler. There was even a little snot bubble expanding and shrinking with each murmuring snore the creature was making.

MC Ballyhoo placed a finger at his lips, then was just about to open his mouth before Big Top engulfed his face. “Maybe I should handle this” he reasoned as Ballyhoo’s flapping mouth was muffled by the fabric of the sentient hat. “The goal of this game is to pet the Wiggler the most without waking him up. The longer you pet him, the more likely he is to wake up. If he wakes up, the game’s over. The person who bunks up loses instantly, but we’ll decide points afterwards to determine who spent the most time petting him, the winner getting the 10 coin prize pot.”

Ballyhoo’s arms continued to flail and attempted to pull Big Top from off his head, to no avail. Instead, Big Top pulled Ballyhoo out of the way, letting the four of them have direct access to the Wiggler’s giant face.

DA RULES

When petting the Wiggler, you will make at least 1d3 roll (please use non-previewable dice for the sake of fairness ie roll=1d3). You can make as many d3 rolls as you would like during your turn, with the combined results being the number of points you scored during that turn. If your point total goes past 5 in 1 turn, then the Wiggler will awaken and I will make the proper Mod Post accompanying it, ending the game. After a total of 25 or more points have been taken from the Wiggler, it will awaken, whomever rolled to cross that threshold being the one responsible for waking the Wiggler and instantly losing regardless of the number of points they have collected. If you have any questions about the functions of this mini-game, please DM or PM me.

Mr. Game & Watch had to admit, when they said they were going to play a mini-game he was expecting some kind of go-karting adventure or playing a watered-down version of a sport. Playing chicken by way of petting a large sleeping caterpillar was not what he had in mind. Regardless, there was no task too small that G&W can’t handle! Besides, he was the most lightweight of them all, sneaking around a sleeping giant was child’s play.

He crept forward, holding his hand out very gingerly as he approached the titan. As soon as his hand made contact, he brushed back and forth, timing the seconds in his head just in case he accidentally got too ambitious with his petting.

A Triple Dice Mushroom?! Ludwig grit his fangs at the sight of Shantae’s prize. Despite being three spaces behind, she just might pose a threat with the amount of distance such a shroom could grant her! But he couldn’t acknowledge it out loud, for there was every chance the mile-braided airhead hadn’t noticed yet.

At least he needn’t worry about such a threat from his sister, over whom he maintained a four step lead. “Slow and steady wins last place~!” He taunted his fellow tortoise. “Ay, Schwendy?”

This was no time for naps however, Ludwig had to maintain his freshly secured lead by wining the first mini game!
Petting a Wiggler? Of all the innocuous, asinine-whatever, don’t look a gift Yoshi in the mouth.
How hard could petting a Wiggler be? Considering Ludwig was not known for his gentility nor affinity for animals, let alone giant bugs, what those not in the know doth realize is Ludwig’s claws carry the grace and finesse of a highly trained pianist. The intricate delicacies of petting a Wiggler should not be much different.

And what chance does he stand against the jittery, erratic gestures of Mr. Game & Watch, the gaudy, impatient nails of Wendy’s? The odds were in his favour. The Genie’s hands on the other hand… The precision of the musician must outmanoeuvre the pliancy of the dancer.

“I’ll play you like a harp and you’ll never know what pet you…” Ludwig quietly smirked, rubbing his hands and carefully reaching out to commence the petting.

OOC: (Guess it's time for the unexpected to happen, huh?)

Shantae calmly smirked as she thinks of using her Triple Dice Mushroom when things go smoothly, and she didn't need to worry about Mr. Game & Watch or Wendy, her target to troll in this case was Ludwig Von Koopa on a personal level, and hopefully Wendy would understand the simple way of messing with an opponent that also happens to be her own brother.

But now came Minigame time, and it was the kind of game where you don't wake up a bug, in this case a Wiggler.  "Hrmmm...  How bad can this be, I wonder.  Probably not the best time to think about it." Shantae mused as she decided to play it safe with petting the big caterpillar.

Roll for not waking the Wiggler: _iomHwzX1d3

Shantae's gentle hands upon reaching the Wiggler would be focused on the side of the Wiggler's head, mainly to avoid waking it up.
