Pipe Lion

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that I can fight Pipe Lion (the name of the Giant enemy) THAT FRICKIN ATE MY MOM AND MENTOR.

Sigh.

For some reason a lot of people from my adventure were here.

Captain scurvy was trying to make a profit on some of the stolen goods.

Daisy was there taking charge

The beanish family were championing me.

Alice was threatening to shoot Pipe Lion

Ricardo and Mario's family we're trying to keep calm.

Miyamoto had that weird screen thingy he uses trying to figure out what was going on.

Rosalina and Egadd were the most notable.

They had given me a new weapon.

The warp staff

It's some weapon that uses pure warp energy to create concentrated blasts.

The only other thing similar to this was made by a guy in the '70s after drinking a lava lamp. He was discovered on an entirely different Island from where he apparently was last seen with no clothes, a yogurt container, and something he called a "boom tube"

I knew what I had to do. Fight.

@shootysturs / @poyo-shooty-art Drew this boss fight in the art style of Mario and Luigi.

That thing is actually a lot more huge than it's presented here though.

It was a pretty standard fight.

I managed to defeat it after shooting large blast of energy that builds up while dodging it's attacks.

The weird thing is that my mom and Mario didn't leave its mouth.

Now for the bad news

It looks like I might have to...

Go in.

Literally all I care about is their life in Brooklyn now.

I adore your Broken Warp Pipe AU art and writing! How do you think the brothers being separated from each other for so long would affect their personalities? They spent their whole lives growing and changing together, I wonder how their personalities would diverge if forced apart

Thank you!

Unfortunately, they both deteriorate a little. Part of it is due to the circumstances surrounding their separation (such as Luigi’s failed fight with Bowser right after he and Mario got split up), part of it is because they're so unaccustomed to being without each other.

Luigi

Despite appearing more competent from the outside... gaining the ability to fight, mechanical prowess, and lightning powers... Luigi has wilted emotionally. While he used to not care what people thought of him, now he’s overeager to fit in, barely doing anything at all unless he's told to do it. He appears caught in an eternal fight to prove himself, always off on missions and journeys he has no desire to undergo, as though he thinks that if he follows his own impulses for one second he'll be abandoned. The only person he’s somewhat comfortable around is Princess Peach. Though he often tries to make himself "replacement Mario" for her she can see right through it, and tries to reach through his insecurity to help him relax.

Mario

While Mario has gotten better at stealth and puzzle solving in his journey to find a way back to The Mushroom Kingdom, he has lost much of his ability to regulate his emotions and impulses. He has just as much bullheaded determination to help people as he did before, but became less emotionally connected to those he helps amidst his pinpoint-focus on reuniting with Luigi. He throws punches and runs his mouth more often than he ought to, landing in him in a number of fights that he has only survived because he has also gotten good at running away. Getting into fights is only one of many of the bad habits that have formed during his adventures, as his anger at himself for losing his brother (again) and desperation to figure out how to get to The Mushroom Kingdom has eclipsed his every other self-preserving instinct.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Gameboy Color 1999

[katlyntheartist]

There's a couple of things the sequel could do with Daisy to differentiate her from Peach aside from their personalities: 1) she came across Sarasaland as an adult, and 2) over half the time she has no idea how to rule a kingdom

While these ideas aren't bad, I really like the idea that King Totomesu just found baby Daisy randomly one day and immediately took her in as his own cub. And the other three rulers react like that one scene from Sunny in Philidelphia-

But after five minutes they all vow to protect the baby with their lives.

Wrong Warp Pipe (2019)

I knew those pipes looked familiar. I wonder if it was a deliberate choice to not include green ones.

Context!

*Translation: We are disabling the mini warp pipes to the human world as we wait for them to be dismantled by the professionals, just following orders! Also we have been an independent nation for a couple years now. General got fed up with mistreatment of shy guys and led a revolution. Were still setting up a main settlement but were getting there!*

-Slurp Guy

Most earth warps are in Warp Org Facilities.

Also I don't think that we're going to cut off ties to Earth completely. It's just that we want to be more presentable and not in a panic when we reveal to Earth that the Mushroom Kingdom and panko exists.

Also mistreatment of shy guys?

I mean there are prejudiced jerks out there who obviously need to find something better to do and realize that they are wrong.

But Really. There was enough of a group of people to start a nation of people

I mean Queen Okra (Princess Peach's Late mother) had a shy guy as the head of her royal guard. Joana the mighty. she was a powerhouse.

I used some of her training cassettes even.

Also, how many of you are there. is it just shy guys? Are there other species?

I know there are not just shy guys. Heath Baron is famously known for living on top of the Coconut mall since his first juice bar was located there. I got coffee from a Shy guy at the cashier at Burger Sync. And the Mayor of Castle Town is a shy guy.

[pianokantzart]

In the Broken Warp Pipe AU, when the bros are finally reunited, does Mario immediately find a way to blame himself for the fact that Luigi lost an eye?

Not immediately. The blame sets in a few days later.

His initial instinct is to gauge just how bad the damage is, as though Luigi's wounds aren't years old at this point, followed shortly by "Who did this? I just want to talk to them :)"

Piranha Plant Pipeline's Location

So there is a track from Mario Kart Tour known as Piranha Plant Pipeline or Warp Pipe Canyon, given it's theming I believe this is located in Pipe Land from Super Mario Bros. 3.

[axewchao]

Space Orcs AU yet again, because I wanted to tweak Dal a little bit, wanted to draw his dog again, and draw B-Junes again, all in one go owo)b

And also wanted to make another space background, thanks to Mario RPG. Stars are pretty...

Anyway more tidbits under a readmore, here we go!

Bowser Junior

During an experiment that Iggy and Ludwig were performing in hopes of improving the travel speeds of their spaceships, an accident caused all eight members of the Royal Brood to be pulled into multiple wormholes and scattered across the cosmos. Junior ended up on a planet filled with Dino Piranhas, and struggled to survive until a trio of strange, squishy creatures found and seemingly adopted him.

While Junior tried keeping his distance out of fear that these squishy folk were actually kidnappers, it didn't take long for his curiosity and need for comfort to overpower any of his fears. He bonded fastest with the purple-maned one; often riding piggyback around the ship or curling up next to him and his fuzzy friend when it's time to sleep. He turns out to be a quick learner when it comes to their languages, easily figuring out short sentences in English and, by courtesy of the red-clad one, several curse words in Italian.

Dalex

A fifteen-year-old human who was snatched in the dead of night while taking his dog out for a late-night bathroom break. Despite his near-overwhelming fear, he teamed up with Mario and Luigi to hijack the ship the three of them were imprisoned on, successfully taking control of the newly-dubbed Starship Mario. It takes a while for Dal to actually warm up to the Bros., but regularly talking about their respective families helps him avoid cracking from under the stress and homesickness.

After rescuing Bowser Jr., Dal becomes the turtle kid's primary caretaker, along with some of the younger Koopalings once they too are found. Before meeting Iggy and subsequently getting a translator built, Dal taught Junior how to speak bits and pieces of English, and can understand his words better than Mario or Luigi. Think of it like "babysitter learning a kid's speech patterns while other people still hear gibberish."

Viridi

Dal's loyal companion and fuzzy baby child. He was abducted alongside his owner and stayed as close to Dal as possible during both their confinement and eventual starship takeover. 'Distraction' was the name of this dog's game, barking at their captors with varying degrees of success during the fight. Hard to tell if they'd never heard a dog bark before or they were actually scared by it, but they got an old-fashioned Mario Bros. Beatdown regardless.

Compared to all the other "crewmembers," Viridi's the most calm, even excited about what awaits them on their new journey. He likes the odd scaly child; those claws give the greatest scritches he's ever gotten in his life (sorry Dally). Of course, being excited and curious isn't always a good thing, as Viridi's go-to method of following his nose can lead to trouble. Of all the times to lose the leash, it had to be during a space adventure... =_="
