Super Mario's Lost Adventure: Equestrian Chronicles

*Equestria*

It was another bright and sunny day in Ponyville, and it was also, yet again, Gummy’s birthday. As for anypony, Pinkie Pie always had plans to throw an amazing birthday party, and she would invite all her closest friends. (Did she ever think of inviting Gummy’s closest friends?! How rude! But the parties are always fun, no matter who is there.)

However, she did not do her normal singing invitations, where she dressed up in some ridiculous outfit and she sing to everypony she invited. As she said she would do previously, she decided to handout written invitations to save herself the exhaustion. Something rather unexpected of Pinkie Pie.

As usual, everypony that she invited showed up, and they were all having a great time. This didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary.

Pinkie Pie saw Rainbow Dash and Applejack bobbing for apples.

“Is everypony having a great time?” Asked Pinkie Pie to the two mares.

“Heck yeah! You always throw the best parties Pinkie.” Replied Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash dove her head into the bucket and she managed to pull an apple out.

“Ta-da!” She exclaimed, quite proud of herself.

Pinkie Pie laughed. “That’s just a boring old apple! There are plenty of other surprises in there!”

Both ponies were curious now.

“Like what?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“It’s a surprise! It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you silly!” Replied the Pink mare.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked into the bucket and dove inside. Applejack pulled out an odd object, a foam finger with a pinkie and index finger outstretched; she had no idea what it was. She put it on her hoof, seeing that it could not have gone anywhere else, and it made sounds like “BANG” and “PEW PEW PEW” when she pointed with it. (What a crazy mare…) Applejack thought to herself. Rainbow Dash came out and Gummy was trying to consume her face, it would have been quite hysterical to have witnessed.

“I should have learned from last year…” Rainbow said to herself.

Pinkie Pie walked over to Rarity who was standing near the punch bowl.

“Hey Rarity!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Did you try some of the punch? It’s Gummy’s favorite!”

Pinkie handed her a cup with some of the punch in it, where Rarity drank very slowly, but did not swallow, remembering what was in the punch.

“It’s…delicious darling!” Rarity lied, not wanting to hurt her friend’s feelings.

“I’m glad you like it!” she said.

The music suddenly changed to a song that Pinkie enjoyed.

“OOOOOHHH this is my jam!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she ran to the dance floor, while Rarity spat the punch into a plant nearby.

She started dancing with Twilight and Fluttershy who commented on how fun her parties always are.

“Thanks you guys! I think they are fun because all of my bestest friends in Equestria are always there!” Pinkie said excitedly.

Pinkie Pie then proceeded to body check the two mares she was dancing with into the wall with enough force to leave prints where they hit, but this did not make the party any less fun to be at, and they seemed to just shake it off like it was nothing anyway.

The little alligator whom the party was for did not seem to really care that he was suddenly the center of attention, but it’s possible to infer that he was having a great time nonetheless.

Pinkie Pie began singing for Gummy.

“Go Gummy, it’s your birthday! Go Gummy it’s your birthday!”

Everything was going great when suddenly a loud noise was heard outside in the distance as well as the sound of crashing outside of Sugar Cube Corner, followed by the ground shaking violently like an earthquake was taking place. The needle on the record player was shaken off and the music stopped as did the dancing of the 6 ponies inside of Sugar Cube Corner.

“What in tarnation was all of that?!” Applejack exclaimed.

“I’m not sure…” began Twilight, “it sounded like it came from the direction of the Everfree Forest.

“We should go check it out,” Rainbow Dash said. “After all, we usually are the ones who protect Ponyville, even though we do cause some of the crazy things that happen to it…”

Fluttershy started to look worried.

“I’m not sure, girls. I’m sure it will be alright, nothing seems to be happening to Ponyville right now, so I wouldn’t be too concerned with looking for what might have caused it.

“Nothing happened to Ponyville? Look at that thing that crashed into City Hall!” Rainbow Dash pointed at the star shaped object sticking out of the roof.

She flew up and pulled it out of the roof when she realized it was a star.

“What the…a star? How does something like this make it so far down from the sky? Not only that, if feels like metal.”

“Looks like we found out what caused the closer of the two noises,” Twilight began, “but we should still investigate what might have happened in Everfree Forest, I’ll do some research on that star after we make sure Ponyville is going to be safe.”

With some encouragement, the group finally managed to calm Fluttershy enough to join them on the trek to the Everfree Forest, and before long they set off to discover what mystery was left waiting for them.

As they ran deeper and deeper into the forest they started to hear sounds of clashing and explosions, as if a battle was taking place.

The woodland creatures were all running away from the cause while the six mares were running towards it. As they moved in closer, they could see three new creatures that they had never seen before. Two of them looked very similar, but one looked more metallic while one looked more plump and non-metallic. The other was a pink creature with no arms and a ponytail sticking out of an archaeologist’s helmet. The two similar creatures both wore red hats with an “M” on them and blue overalls overtop of red shirts and brown shoes with white gloves on their hands. They also had tremendously sized noses where keen mustaches were resting under.

They seemed to be in a heated battle that the ponies did not want to get involved in, but watched to see what would happen.

“Give up, Super Mario,” the metallic bipedal began to say, “I am superior to you in every way without the Crystal Stars and I will conquer the world as I see fit when I obtain all seven of them.

Mario held his position heroically and charismatically as he always does in dangerous battles. It was obvious to the six ponies who the hero was and who the villain was. They also noticed that the non-robotic creature seemed to talk very little, but something about him told the ponies that he could be trusted.

“Crystal Stars?” Twilight whispered from the hiding place. “Is that what that thing is? I feel like I’ve heard of them from a book I read…”

Goombella became angry.

“You can take this metal creep, Mario!”

Without hesitation, the creature known as “Mario” jumped into the air and directed a kick towards the metal creature, but to no avail was he able to really hurt him.

The robotic creature then grabbed Mario’s foot and threw him into a tree, out of sight.

Mario burst from the tree and punched the robot in the gut, where he then continued with a barrage of punches, followed by a rapid spinning of punches ending with an uppercut, sending the robotic demon upward. Mario then jumped up, took his hammer out, and smashed the robot down into the ground, but he landed soundly on his feet.

“Please,” the robot began, “save your energy, you’ll need it after I’m through with you.”

The robot raised his hand up, firing a missile from it.

“Eat-a- this!” it exclaimed.

Mario realized the environment that he was in, and he knew that an explosion would set the place ablaze in seconds, so he took the hit to avoid setting the forest on fire. He was thrown back a good distance, but he managed to stand back up, where he then jumped very high into the air, enough where the robotic creature lost sight of him.

“Where did he go?” The robot questioned, soon being slammed into the ground because of the great height that Mario could jump and great power behind it, realizing that Mario was stronger than he thought.

Rainbow Dash began to get excited.

“Look at that guy go! He just pummeled that thing!” She mentioned.

“He can definitely hold his own, but that robotic abomination is pretty strong.” Rarity said.

“We should help that Mario feller out if things get out of…” Applejack started to say, when the mechanical creature blasted a machine gun towards the position of the six ponies, which uncovered their hiding place.

“I thought I heard a racket over there,” began the robotic creature, “talking horses? Give me a moment while I end their existence.” The mechanical creature then placed his hands together, charging up some sort of fire attack.

Mario quickly jumped in front of the six ponies and began to charge up a fire attack of his own, realizing that there was no way fire would not come out of this fight.

Both sides collided in a mass of flames, immediately setting the forest ablaze, also leaving both bipedals injured greatly.

“Damn,” the robotic creature began while noticing his weapons and body took quite a beating, “right now, you live, next time, I will have the crystal stars, and you and your world will parish.” He then flew away to repair himself from the battle that ravaged the Everfree Forest.

Mario, barely standing, turned to the six mares, and collapsed immediately.

The local pegasi began to place rain clouds over the Forest to prevent its destruction.

Goombella walked over to the six ponies.

“You guys okay?” She asked, concerned for their safety.

“We’re fine darling, thanks to your red friend here.” Rarity stated.

“My name is Goombella, wow, I’m sorry; I’ve never seen talking mares in all of my research with Professor Frankly.”

Twilight began to get excited, realizing that somebody who worked with a professor is most likely another intellectual that she can talk to about everything in the world.

“Yay!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed, bouncing in the air, “it’s always fun to see a new face to make friends with!”

“It’s nice to meet you, Goombella,” Twilight began, “My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. I hate to be rude, but I can’t say I’ve have even seen a creature such as yourself either.

“I’m a Goomba, we have a bad reputation back home, but not all of us are so bad.” Explained Goombella. “I’ve wanted to gain a proper education and go into archaeology, and I’ve been studying as an intern with Professor Frankly, he’s a crazy old man, but he is one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever had the privilege to learn from.”

“That sounds a lot like you and Celestia, Twilight,” Fluttershy said.

Twilight pondered this truth for a moment; she was still very excited that she would have another individual to talk to about intellectual things. “It does, but we should get back to Ponyville and figure out what exactly happened before we learn more about each other.” Twilight mentioned, realizing the rain was now beginning to downpour.

“My mane is getting ruined! After all the work I put into keeping it flowing beautifully!” Rarity whined.

Applejack rolled her eyes at the purple haired mare.

“Rainbow, take Mario to the library, we can tend to him when we’re all settled there.” Twilight said without hesitation.

The group made their way to Twilight’s library, and Rainbow Dash placed Mario onto Twilight’s bed where he could rest. To her surprise, she realized he wasn’t burned in any way, in fact, it almost seemed like he was sleeping rather than unconscious.

She rejoined the group in the center of the library.

“So Goombella,” Twilight started, “where are you from?”

“I come from a raggedy place known as Rogueport, which is a province of the Mushroom Kingdom, it’s not the greatest place in the world, but it is my home.” Goombella said, thinking maybe they knew of this place.

“Mushroom Kingdom?” Twilight looked confused. “I’ve never heard of that place.”

Goombella was surprised at first, then, remembering how they got to this new land in the first place, she wasn’t so surprised anymore.

“I didn’t think it would sound familiar, we didn’t get here through any kind of regular methods, we were sent here through a portal.” She said.

Twilight was puzzled now more than ever.

“A portal? So you guys can do magic?” Twilight asked.

“Not EXACTLY…not that kind of magic, I can’t exactly do any myself, and what Mario did with the fire, that is more like conjuring flames rather than pure magic, but we didn’t even create the portal, the crystal stars did.” She replied.

“OH YEAH!” Rainbow Dash forgot about the object she picked up earlier.

“This wouldn’t happen to be one of those ‘Crystal Stars,’ would it?” She pulled out the metal star-shaped object.

“You found one?!” Goombella was shocked. She had no idea where they could have gone after they scattered, apparently this one had not gotten too far.

“Sure did, landed right in the roof of City Hall.” She replied.

“What would you do with something like that?” Asked Pinkie Pie, who was now, to the other ponies’ surprise, very interested in the situation.

Goombella began her rant about the Crystal Stars, being created by a powerful being known as the Shadow Queen, who would use them to increase her own power. She was sealed away by the heroes before Mario and his party, who sealed a door with a magical barrier that was closed for a thousand years.

Twilight was very intrigued. Many questions ran through her head.

“Why was that robot trying to obtain them and where did he come from?” She asked.

“They are capable of more than just sealing doors, I mean, they DID send us here through a portal, when Mario used them, he was able to do many different things with each star that would help us immensely.” Goombella said. “As for that hunk of junk that was fighting us, we don’t really know much about him except that he looks like Mario and that he is pretty dang tough. He wants to use them to increase his own power, much like the Shadow Queen did.”

“Did you guys fight the Shadow Queen?” Twilight asked.

Goombella began to reminisce about the battle.

“That was an incredible battle…” she replied finally, “it’s a long story though…”

Applejack jumped in.

“We’ve got nothing but time, pardner, and your friend, Mario was it? He needs some time to rest; feller is tuckered out worse than I was after apple buck season. Tell us everythin’ that happened from there down to how you got here.”

Goombella began her story.

“WELL…”
