Super Mario Harmony Land

Mario was pretty fed up. Here he was again, fighting Bowser, trying to rescue Peach, who may or may not be in another castle. If there was one thing that annoyed Mario, it was the constant need to check every single castle to find out where the princess was. How many times had he done this? He couldn’t even remember.

“Hah, you’re going down Mario, you’ll never stop me this time!”

Mario almost facepalmed, he could swear Bowser had said that exact sentence at one point.

“Kamek, fire up the spell!”

“Of course your royal grumpiness.”

“What was that?”

“Nothing!”

Oh great, what was he going to do now, use magic to make himself giant, again? As if that had worked well so many times before. In fact, it only really served to make him a bigger target for Mario. He wished Bowser would do things differently for once.

Mario looked at his brother Luigi, who was apparently to busy trembling in fear to run away screaming. “C’mon Luigi, snap out of it!” Luigi stopped cowering in fear, and actually attempted to put on a brave face. Luigi might seem like a coward, but he could at times be even braver than Mario, when he needed to be.

Kamek began waving his wand around, odd colorful squares and triangles and stars and other stuff of various shape formed around it, eventually condensing into a magical ball, which Mario assumed was meant for Bowser.

Instead of firing the spell at Bowser like he had predicted, Kamek fired it at the ground, creating some manner of vortex…   swirly…   thing. Mario immediately noticed the vortex began sucking him in, but he managed to grab a nearby chain, successfully preventing the magic vacuum from pulling him further towards the spiral monstrosity. Luigi, back to his cowardly self, was somehow managing to run away from the vortex, while suspended in the air. In all his life, Mario had never figured out how his brother could do that. Maybe he learned it from the Yoshies when they were infants? He wasn’t sure how the Yoshies did that either.

Mario looked down into the center of the vortex, which was opened up to some lush and colorful environment. So Bowser had intended to warp him away, banish him to some remote area where he would be of no harm to him?

The platform which Bowser stood upon was crumbling, and the loose chain Mario had grabbed unto was being ripped off by the magical force. The vortex, er…   portal was growing stronger.

“Kamek, I though you said I’d be to *gak* heavy too be pulled in!”

“Something must have gone wrong! The portal shouldn’t be this strong, something else must be supplying it with magic!”

"I don't wanna hear about the technical stuff, I want this fixed!"

"I'm working on it your highness!"

Luigi was very quickly being sucked in, despite his efforts to escape.  All manner of things were being sucked inside, from super mushrooms and fire flowers to even members of Bowsers army. It was no wonder Bowser kept being beaten, he always left powerful items lying around unguarded, where Mario and Luigi could easily grab them. Eventually, Luigi was also sucked in, banished to whatever realm the portal took him. Chances were he wasn't coming back on his own.

“Luigi!” Mario shouted, letting go of the chain and following after his brother, intent on rescuing him.

Bowser soon followed, unable to resist the pull of the magical accident in the center of the room, and being damned to the same realm the two brothers had been.

Miraculously, Kamek had managed to fight the pull until the portal eventually dissipated.

“…”

“Now what?” Kamek wondered. He might as well check on the princess’s prison chamber, it wasn’t like the entire plan went down the drain or anything.

The last thing Mario remembered after he went through the portal was faceplanting into some incredibly lush, green, and soft grass before passing out.

Mario asked for different, now he was going to get it.

(And in the form of magical talking ponies too! How quaint!)
