Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown

WT, help! During a special mission of mine, I had to go into a fight with this weird thing, and no matter how powerful my attacks are, nothing seems effective! I need you to find someone who can give him a good sparking punch-out! Are you up to the task?

Now we fight... With our MIIINDS!
 
How about that pirate ghost? Eh? Eh? What'd I tell you? You got them suck-eeeeerrrupting fans cheering so loud you couldn't hear a Bulky Bob-omb exploding. And trust me, pal, that's just what I was listening for.

Wuzzat? Where have I been? Where have I been?

I've been finding the answer to all of our problems, my goop-clutching compadre. You clutch goop, right? Think I heard it in, ueh, your theme song or something. But don't you worry about that - orthecoupleofCDsinyourofficethatbusted - when there's bigger fish to fry. That's right! I'm moving back out, 'cause I've got a fighter that'll slip us both out of these Happy Lucky Chains. Take a look up my sleeve and see for yourself the unbelievable, the bottomless, the green and gold machine...

COIN COFFER

"Hack, Pthh, Chuch"? That's in your head right now, am I right, or am I right? You're thinking "Honio, what is this, a sack with smoker's lung"? Au the contrary, my amiguay - that's a little Parisian for you, a little moi de champagne before we celebrate slipping these handcuffs off tonight. This is a Coffer, not a cougher. What's it do? What's it do? Waluigi Time, my tomato stain on a suit jacket, this little croaker makes dreams come true!

It spits out money! Cold hard cash! Are you hearing me, my Chuck-commander? Are you HEARING ME? We're scot-free! The Bob-ombs? They're paid! Your munchies company? Rolling in the dough! The police? I hear that Shmue Toad's a strickler, but, hey, leave it to your old pal to schmooze over the cops and massage the boys in blue. We're living large, and all you've got to do is put this little croaker in the ring!

Losing him? No sirree. You ain't losing him in there. Little croaker can turn invisible! Ain't that great? Ain't he just the best thing you ever laid eyes on? Almost brings a tear to my eye. She's like the child I never raised for my cousin when he lost the kids to the wife. She'll get in the ring, run around unseen like that Shmaluigi bozo going undercover, do some hops, and pelt the other guy with coins until we collect our cas- hhhhit the bell for the knockout.

Explodes when they run out of money? Lose money when they're hit? Wuzzat? You've been reading too much of those eggheads' journals again, am I right? Don't think too hard about it. This is our golden goose! We're cornerin' New Wikisburg with this. You and me, we'll own the joint! That big skyscraper tearing down the bamboo, HypnoDimentio Neptunia and whatever his Bowserpodium is, that two-bit newspaper, even the pride of the peddling corner Toadbert, anything you want, you'll get it! We'll get it. And, most important of all, your office is yours again, friend. Mi casa es mi case and ye casa is yu casa. What'd'ya say?
 
Input for Issue 189 is now open until November 26th! The Holiday Special's theme is racing games, so for this month, I want you to nominate some fast characters! Characters that fight using vehicles are also welcome.

If you'd prefer not to nominate a fighter, you can vote for one of these by leaving a reaction on this post. Making full posts in support of one of these candidates is also welcome and will increase their chances!
  • Bowser Jr. - When I said "characters that fight using vehicles" there's a good chance this guy came to mind. Bowser Jr.'s famous for fighting in his Junior Clown Car, and it's loaded with weaponry to make that happen. It's even got retractable wheels for a good karting session! If you'd like to see Bowser Jr. in the next match, react with Wow (😮).
  • Hot Roderick - If a proper car is more your style, then there's no better fighter than Hot Roderick. He's got plenty of projectiles up his sleeve, and he sticks with his car to the end - even if it's just a steering wheel. If you'd like to see Hot Roderick in the next match, react with Thinking (🤔).
  • Nabbit - Just like in racing, it takes speed to be a good thief. Nabbit's one fast little rabbit, and he might even be able to steal his opponent's attacks to use against them! Plus he's a driver in Mario Kart Tour, so it all checks out. If you'd like to see Nabbit in the next match, react with Angry (😠).
 
Take off at the speed of sound

I nominate Sonic for the Smackdown! The Blue Blur will run rings 'round his opponents, being the fastest thing alive!
 
So, the next issue is Mario Kart themed. But next issue is also in December, which is the start of winter in the north. Thus, I present someone who has appeared in a Mario Kart game (but not the first time) and is snow based. And his name is Chief Chilly.

(His Appearance in Mario Kart DS)

Also, since I am a Yoshi, I will also support a Mario Kart Tour's Yoshi (Reindeer).

And there are my nominees for this.

I love the idea of Sonic but honestly, I gotta nominate Sonic in his Transformed vehicle.

: You, uh, "Waluigi Time"?

AngryPMBB.png
: Don't play dumb with me, bub. I scored a photo from that Birdo in the lobby. You're coming with me, bub.

AngryPMBB.png
: Quit squirming around. You don't want to light any fuses by accident. Not here.

PMBobombNormal.png
: Untie him, boys!

PM_Bob-Omb_Red.png
: On it!

Bruce.png
: Yes sir!

PM_Bob-Omb_Green.png
: Your majesty, he's here.

My, my, what an unbecoming mustache.

Twig-thin and angular, facial hair as weak and brittle as the one who grooms it.

BobombMafia.png


Gaze upon a mustache rich and full, fit for a king. You stand before the Baron of all Blasting Matter, the King of Ka-booms Worldwide. King Bob-omb, as you may address me, explosive godfather of the Bob-omb Mafia.

Do you know why I've called for a meeting with you, Mr. Waluigi Time?

...

I commend you for your honesty. Your facial styling does not entirely reflect your character. Yes, Mr. Waluigi Time, I've called you in to discuss one word. "Collateral". It is a word with many meanings. Finance. Risk-assessment, as in "collateral damage," the kind that might happen to a cereal business and its employees in an unfortunate accident. It's an ugly word. So let's not speak it.

Instead, we will talk about donations.

Your acquaintance has been very rude to Lucky. Rudeness to one Bob-omb is rudeness to all. We've asked that your acquaintance show forgiveness with a simple donation...

...one which the bald-faced streeturtle would not hand over. We brought him in for a meeting to discuss alternative arrangements. He's currently... sleeping comfortably.... in lodgings we have generously provided. We'll continue to host him until we can reach an agreement, but, until then, we must be a little more forward about our fundraising.

Mr. Waluigi Time, I ask you to make a donation on behalf of all Bob-ombs, and to do us a favor.

For the donation, 15,000 Gold Coins and 300 Blue will help my dear friend Lucky recover from his accident, and go towards... preservation work in the distant Fahr Outpost.

For the favor, all we Bob-ombs ask is that you enter our new vehicle, the
Bob-Omb Car, into your Mushroom Kingdom Sma-
PM_Bob-Omb_Green.png
: *whispers*

Incomplete? Haven't left the assembly line?
PM_Bob-Omb_Green.png
: *whispers*

Very well.

All we Bob-ombs ask is that you enter our good friends Dribble & Spitz
into your Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown. Mr. Greenpowder, you may elaborate.
AngryPMBB.png
: Listen closely, bub! My pal's about to give you information that'll help you!

PM_Bob-Omb_Green.png
: You did hear his majesty correctly, didn't you? You are to enter and promote Dribble & Spitz, who will compete from inside the Dribble Taxi. Naturally, they are able to run over their opponents. Their taxi is well-suited for combat, even of the vehicular variety. It proved its ability to ram and flip other vehicles in the Diamond Rally Championship. In addition, its offenses and defenses are bolstered by its modifications; the vehicle can fly and possesses enough thrust to travel to and through space. Defensively, the drivers also bolster the vehicle. Dribble has successfully navigated asteroid fields, and possesses the driving capability needed to weave through projectile attacks.

PM_Bob-Omb_Red.png
: Yeah! And there's a cat! How 'bout that!?

Bruce.png
: You better do as the big boss says! Light up the TV with that taxi, or get lit yourself!

PMBobombNormal.png
: You heard 'em, bub. And remember, we're always watching. We can always find you.

PM_Bob-Omb_Green.png
: I trust we will speak again soon, Mr. Waluigi Time. Thank you for your cooperation. I trust we will have a donation from your eager hands shortly. Thanks to you, cooler fuses will prevail.

AngryPMBB.png
: Now scram!
 
Input for Issue 189 is now closed! Thanks for participating. The issue's still 3 weeks away, but that'll race by in no time, I'm sure.

As with last year, Issue 190 will be a special championship event featuring the 12 winners from this year. Since the participants are already decided, input will remain closed until later in January, then we'll be back to business as usual for Issue 191.
 
*flips table* WALUIGI VS DIMENTIO. No reason, just think they'd be an interesting matchup
 
We go live the Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown arena where Toad is standing by with Colonel Shoey O'Dell
"Chuck i'm standing here with Colonel Shoey O'Dell manager of Grunt one of the 12 competitors in this months Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown Champions Tournament II. Now Colonel I have to know what do you think Grunts odds are this weekend?"
"Odds Toad Odds! You wanna talk about odds? Let me tell you this Toad by the end of this weekend Grunt will be holding that championship belt." The Colonel boasts.
"How can you be so confident Colonel after all Grunt will be facing off against 11 of the best fighters in all the lands?" Toad asks
"Toad the only way i'd even be a little worried was if all 11 on a team taking on Grunt at once, and even than my boy Grunt would smack em all down. But there ain't no way that a single one of them can defeat Grunt in a match. As far as I can tell this little tournament is just a mere formality. I know it you know it even Mr. Waluigi Time knows it. Now as for you Mr. Waluigi Time I understand you've got a business to run I understand you've spent six months hyping this tournament. TV spots, magazines, even a full page ad in the Shroom but we both know when the dust settles and the smoke clears that Grunt will be holding that championship belt." says the Colonel beaming with pride.
"But don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself? I mean we've only seen Grunt fight once? And this tournament has some heavy hitters such as Robot Monster Troopa, Captain Fishhook, and leader of the Smithy Gang." Toad says before the colonel cuts him off in anger.
"TOAD I'M GETTING REAL SICK OF YOU RUNNING YOUR MOUTH. NOW I TOLD YOU EIGHT MONTHS AGO YOU LET GRUNT IN THAT ARENA AND NOW A A MAN CAN STOP HIM, AND WHAT HAPPENED WHY THE POOR LITTLE DOCTOR STILL AIN'T OUTTA HIS HOSPITAL BED. NOW LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SO CALLED TOURNAMENT BRAKET.
FIRST OFF BOWSER JR. YOUR DADDY MIGHT BE A KING BUT YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE BOY PLAYING A MAN'S GAME AND YOU STEP IN THE ARENA AGAINST GRUNT AND YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA TAKE THAT THRONE.
ROBOT MONSTER TROOPA YOU CALL YOUR TITANIUM WONDER BUT YOU FACE OFF AGAINST GRUNT AND YOU AIN'T GONNA BE NOTHING BUT SCRAP.
WALUIGI I'VE HEARD YOU RUNNING YOUR MOUTH CRYING BACKSTAGE CLAIMING EVERYONE CHEATS BUT YOU. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING WALUIGI YOU COME UP AGAINST GRUNT AND HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT,
FRIENDLY FLOYD YOU SAY YOU CAN SELL ANYONE ANYTHING? WELL IF YO'RE GONNA FACE OFF AGAINST GRUNT YOU BETTER SELL YOURSELF SOME HEALTH INSURANCE.
SNOOZE A KOOPA IT'S A GOOD THING YOU LIKE TO SLEEP BECAUSE YOU GET IN THE ARENA WITH GRUNT AND YOU MIGHT NEVER WAKE UP.
LEGO BOWSER YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ON HAND BECAUSE YOU TANGLE WITH MY BOY GRUNT AND HE'S GONNA SMASH SMASH SMASH YOU INTO A MILLION PIECES.
FLIFIT YOU BETTER STAY OUT IN THE SUN BECAUSE YOU GET IN THAT RING AND YOU'RE GONNA FIND YOURSELF PLUCKED.
SCURVY CREW YOU MIGHT THINK THERE'S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS BUT GRUNT WILL CRACK YOU THREE LIKE COCONUTS.
NOW SMITHY YOU MIGHT THINK YOU'RE BIG AND YOU MIGHT THINK THAT METAL OF YOURS WILL PROTECT YOU. BUT YOU LET GRUNT GET AHOLD OF YOU AND THERE AIN'T A SMELTER HOT ENOUGH THAT'LL FIX THE DAMGE HE'S GONNA DO.
CORTEZ YOU BAG OF BONES MASQUERADING AS A PIRATE KING. YOU GET IN THAT RING AND GRUNT'S GONNA REDUCE YOU TO BONE DUST.
FINALLY THAT JUST LEAVES YOU CAPTAIN FISHHOOK THE SO CALLED REIGNING CHAMPION OF MUSHROOM KINGDOM SMACKDOWN. YOU SAY SHARKS CLAIM THAT SHARKS ARE THE SEAS GREATEST PREDATOR BUT WE AIN'T GONNA BE FIGHTING AT SEA WE'RE GONNA BE FIGHTING IN THAT RING, AND IN THAT RING THERE ISN'T' A GREATER PREDATOR THAN GRUNT. SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR LAST FEW HOURS AS CHAMPION BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU WEAR THAT BELT IS BECAUSE GRUNT WASN'T ALLOWED IN LAST YEAR. BUT THIS YEAR GRUNT'S HERE HE'S ON A MISSION TO WIN THAT BELT AND IF YOU GET IN HIS WAY HE'LL TURN YOU INTO SUSHI
THE FACT IS THERE ISN'T A SINGLE MAN IN THIS TOURNAMENT THAT CAN FACE OFF AGAINST GRUNT
8 FOOT 5
450 POUNDS OF SHEER KOOPA POWER
HE IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
THE MAN WITH THE POWER
TO SWEET TO BE SOUR
AND THIS SATURDAY HE WILL WALKOUT OF THIS ARENA AS YOUR NEW MUSHROOM KINGDOM SMACKDOWN CHAMPION."
 
We're back, and input for Issue 191 is now open! Hopefully you enjoyed the championship because I almost died writing it, but anyway, it's time to move on into a new cycle! We'll start out with no theme, so anything goes.

If you'd prefer not to nominate a fighter, you can vote for one of these by leaving a reaction on this post. Making full posts in support of one of these candidates is also welcome and will increase their chances!
  • Alligator Dundee - What would happen if we turned Smackdown into a Huntdown? His unique profession might turn things on its head for an interesting match. If you'd like to see Alligator Dundee in the next match, react with Wow (😮).
  • Funky Kong - Smackdown needs money, and what better way to spice things up than with something new? Like, oh, I don't know... Some sort of... funky mode? If you'd like to see Funky Kong in the next match, react with Thinking (🤔).
  • Gooper Blooper - He's a Blooper, and he's... gooper! He gets ink everywhere! He interferes with your sporting events! It's one of the closest things the Mario franchise has to the kraken, so there's that going for him. If you'd like to see Gooper Blooper in the next match, react with Angry (😠).
 
Mario, Mario, Mario...you know him. You love him. Now...how about a fresh take on things.

THAT'S RIGHT!

THE ONE!

THE ONLY!

Mario (Film Character)!!!!

THAT'S RIGHT, Mario (Film Character) WOULD FIT RIGHT IN THE RANKS OF SMACKDOWN'S GREATEST!! WHY?! LOOK AT HIM! THE BUILD, THE CUT, THE STACHE, THE GEAR!! STEEL-PLATED ROCKET SHOES AND A FLAMETHROWER, NOT TO MENTION THAT FIERCE BOB-OMB OF HIS!! Mario (Film Character) WOULD MOP THE FLOOR WITH THE SMACKDOWN CHAMPIONS!! CAPTAIN FISHHOOK?! TOO EASY!! GRUNT?! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!! Mario (Film Character) IS THE DEFINITION OF "CHAMPION"!!!
 
Oh yeah I forgot to write the date this closed, whoops! Well that day is today, and input for Issue 191 is now closed. I'm looking forward to only having to write one match again!

Note to self: Don't forget to include the date next time you goof
 
We go live the Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown arena where Toad is standing by with Colonel Shoey O'Dell and Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown Champion Grunt.
GruntAndShoeyODell.png

"Colonel first i'd like to congratulate you on the victory. How does it feel to finally have the title around Grunt's waist?" Toad asks.
"Oh Toad it's the greatest thing in the world. My boy Grunt finally the champion and you should have seen the celebration! The only one not celebrating was Mr. Waluigi Time and I suppose I can understand why. It's gonna be hard for him to promote next year's championship tournament now that everyone knows Grunt cannot be beat" Boasts the Colonel.
"For months you told us that nobody could defeat Grunt. Tell me what gave you to confidence that Grunt would so easily win the Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown Championship Tournament" asks Toad
"Like I told you all along Toad you put Grunt in that ring and there ain't nobody in this kingdom that can stop him. Doesn't matter how big or how small doesn't how strong or how fast if they try to face off against Grunt they ain't got no chance of victory. Now Toad i think you owe me an Grunt a little apology." The Colonel says
"Apology what for?" Toad says shocked.
"For doubting my boy Grunt and for lying to all the boys and girls who watch this program. You got there hopes up led em to believe that there was somebody in that tournament that could stand up to the might 8 foot 5, 450 pounds of sheer Koopa Power Grunt. I can't tell you Toad how many people approached me telling me that someone was gonna knock Grunt out. Why I got phone calls, emails, faxs all telling me that I couldn't possibly guarantee a Grunt Championship victory. They told me Colonel there's gonna be 11 of the fiercest fighters from across the kingdom. There were gonna be:
Brutes
Brawlers
Performers
Técnicos
Even a couple of tricksters
But as i've told you since day 1 Toad it doesn't matter if you're a Man
Woman
Koopa
Goomba
Hell even a New Donker if you get in the ring with Grunt you will be stomped. And now Toad you and everyone here knows what's been true all along. That there isn't anyone out there that can take on the 8 Foot 5, 450 pounds of Sheer Koopa fighting Machine Grunt He is
The man of the hour
The Man with the Power
Too sweet to be sour
The New Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown Champion Grunt" The Colonel boasts as the people boo.
"Speaking of that I wanna make one thing clear before we go. Unlike that oversized piece of tuna Captain Fishhooks Grunt here aint' gonna be no paper champion running from the competition. My boy Grunt he's gonna be a fighting champion you understand me? Now listen up cause to all of y'all from the boys in the back, to the thousands in attendance, and finally to the millions watching at home any of y'all get foolish enough to think you're tough enough to take on Grunt just go into Mr. Waluigi Time's office and arrange the match. Because if i've said it once i've said it a 1000 time's it don't matter who you are, it don't matter how big, tough, strong, fast. If you get in the ring with Grunt you will be struck down by the Champ." The colonel says leaving for his celebration after issuing his challenge.
 
Input for Issue 192 is now open until March 4th! We'll have one more month of no theme this time, and then things are gonna get weird.

If you'd prefer not to nominate a fighter, you can vote for one of these by leaving a reaction on this post. Making full posts in support of one of these candidates is also welcome and will increase their chances!
  • Birdo - She finally got in Mario Kart 8 after almost 9 years so why not cash in on that with a Smackdown nomination? Although nowadays she's relegated to maybe getting in a spinoff sometimes, she's done battle with Mario several times, and could make an eggcellent fighter. If you'd like to see Birdo in the next match, react with Wow (😮).
  • General Guy - TEN HUT! General Guy marches into battle, armed with his infamous toy tank and a battalion of Shy Guy soldiers! If you'd like to see General Guy in the next match, react with Thinking (🤔).
  • R.O.B. - From NES accessory to kart racer to full-blown Smash fighter, the Robotic Operating Buddy has come a long way. With his whirling arms and powerful laser, there's a good chance that anyone who tries to face off against him won't Stack-Up. If you'd like to see R.O.B. in the next match, react with Angry (😠).
 
Somewhere in a spooky graveyard a mysterious figure stands over a large unmarked grave
Oh yesssssssssssss the time is finally here and with these special ashes you will rise again my lord of bones and together we shall conquer the Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown competition. For nothing can hurt what's already dead oh yesssssssssssssssssssss.
The figure pours the ashes from a large decorated urn. The ashes seep into the grave as the ground shakes. Finally the shaking stops as a large skeleton arm bursts from the ground.
The time is now Dark Bones Lord of Bones return to the world of the living or should I say living dead oh yessssssssssss. Come to me and together we shall lay waist to the Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown competition. For how can they stop what feels no pain? The strongest attacks may crumple your bones but you'll just put yourself back together again. The hottest flames may scorch your bones but never shall they burn away. And when you face of against that poor unfortunate soul their only way out will be a bodybag.
Oh Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
 
Quiet month, but at least we're not stuck with only two choices! Thanks Shoey! Input for Issue 192 is now closed, be sure to check out the new issue in a couple of weeks to see who got in (can you guess?) and who will win!
 
Francis_SPM_trans.png

Ner-herrrr herrr! Hello members of marioboards.com! It's me, Francis! I got a totally schweeeet deal with Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown to get into the next match! That's why I want you all to nominate totally hot babes this month so I can meet them! That would be so hi-technicaaaaal! Nerr-herr herr!

I'm too busy binge-watching the new season of Starship X-Naut, so Waluigi Time will be screening applicants for me until April 1st!

(This month's theme is female characters! Doesn't matter which ones, you can bully Francis with your nomination if you want.)
 
Well I wasn't planning on doing voting this month since one character was locked in already, but looks like I need to give it a little push. Here's your voting options this month!
  • Birdo - She finally got in Mario Kart 8 after almost 9 years so why not cash in on that with a Smackdown nomination? Although nowadays she's relegated to maybe getting in a spinoff sometimes, she's done battle with Mario several times, and could make an eggcellent fighter. If you'd like to see Birdo in the next match, react with Wow (😮). (this isn't recycled from last time don't check (real) (real) (fake))
  • Captain Syrup - The arch-nemesis of Wario brings robots, explosives, and a love for treasure to the ring! If you'd like to see Captain Syrup in the next match, react with Thinking (🤔).
  • Pink Gold Peach - It's Peach, but heavier, clangier, shinier, and roster fillier! No one likes her but it would be kind of funny if she got in. If you'd like to see Pink Gold Peach in the next match, react with Angry (😠).

One week left!
