The screen on Twilight Sparkle’s TV flickered for a moment before showing a 3 dimensional N logo before fading to black. “Hmm, simple, yet memorable” commented Rarity. The screen lit up to show a stage in a theatre, with a pony about the size of a foal with a red spotted mushroom on his head trotted on stage. “Who’s this weirdo?” Rainbow Dash commented. “shh” Twilight insisted. “get on with it!, I’m getting WAAAY too bored!” said Rainbow Dash. “fine, fine” said Twilight, skipping the intro. “Bored Rainbow can be almost as chaotic bored Pinkie…almost” Twilight thought to herself Along with a cheery tune, a giant title that read “Mario Party 2”appeared on screen. As the screen shifted to the main menu “I’ve been woderin, how come this is number 2, wheres 1?”Asked Applejack. “Oh, I think the Princess said something about the first one sending many testers home with sore and blistered hooves due to having to rotate the control stick”. Replied Twilight. “Oh...My” said Fluttershy “Well shall we go see the rules?” asked Twilight “NO!” said Pinkie Pie “Yeah, let’s get to it, we’ll figure out as we go!” said Rainbow “Ok, if you don’t mind, I think I’ll pick where we should go” said Twilight as she looked at all of the boards. “This seems intresting” Said Twilight as she selected a board titled “Space Land” “OK everyony, it looks like 3 others may join in who would like to-“ME!” said Pinkie as she snatched up the Blue second controller before even Rainbow could get her hands on it, so she settled for the 3rd, Red controller. “Umm Twilight, I mean if no pony else wants to, I’d like to try…, if that’s okay” mumbled Fluttershy “Of course Fluttershy, (to Applejack and Rarity) you two don’t mind do you?” said Twilight as she levitated the final controller into Fluttershy’s hooves. “Of course not, dahling” “Go ahead, sugarcube” “Oh, ok” said Fluttershy as Twilight brought up the character selection screen “So it looks like we can choose from six characters” said Twilight “Ooh, ooh, I’m going with this one, he looks silly!” said Pinkie Pie, moving her on screen hand to the portrait of a portly stallion wearing a yellow shirt, purple overalls, glove, and sporting a large pink snout with a zigzag moustache. “Hmm, it says here the gentleman’s name is “Wario” said Rarity who had pulled out the game’s instruction manual. “Wario? I like it! A funny name for a funny pony!” said Pinkie and she pushed the blue A button to confirm her selection. “I think I’ll go with this awesome looking monkey with the necktie” said Rainbow Dash, also making her selection “Actually he’s a gorilla” corrected Fluttershy “Whatever” replied Rainbow “Says DK on his necktie, does it say what the DK says for Rarity?” said Applejack “I believe it stands for Donkey Kong” answered Rarity “Ooh does that mean he’s part monkey part donkey?!” said Pinkie “Doubt it. What about you, Fluttershy?” Said Rainbow “oh, um, This green dinosaur. Yoshi I think his name is, he looks so cute (thats an adorable nose). Twilight?” “I’m thinking of the mare in the dress, she looks like a Princess, really proper and intelligent” said Twilight “If she was intelligent she wouldn’t get kidnapped so much” Pinkie whispered to the audience “oh, I agree Twilight; that pink dress looks absolutely marvelous on Princess (looks at manual) Peach!” praised Rarity. “Apparently you have to set that clock to a certain number of turns, Twilight” informed Rarity , I’ve set the amount of turns 20 so-“ “LET’S PARTY!” interjected Pinkie as the mushroom headed foal Rarity said was named Toad, and the 4 characters ran into a bright light at the end of the long pipe. As the title “Space Land” appears on screen, the characters the ponies have chosen run by and then come back, but this time in space suits. “So there are costumes changes depending on the land you play I’m guessing. Not only are those space suits smashing, that is a fabulous idea at variety” commented Rarity As the 2 ponies, the dinosaur, and gorilla exited the pipe, Toad began to explain the situation in Space Land. The screen blanked out and faded back in to reveal a space station, with pathways with arrows on them, some type of satellite in the corner, and a sinister looking number 5 in the center. “Welcome to Space Land!”-he began. “As members of the Space Patrol, your job is to keep space peaceful! Your objective-(he said as a hologram of what looked like the combination of a turtle and a dragon appeared on a hologram) is to defeat the terror of the cosmos, Black Hole Bowser!” “meep” said Fluttershy “To help with your journey, here are 10 coins!” Toad said as 10 coins dropped on each of the characters.” “It says that coins you get while you play are used to by items to use and stars. It says whoever has the most stars at the end of the game wins and gets to do battle with that unpleasant looking brute, Bowser” said Rarity “Out of the way, ladies, heroine of the cosmos, coming through!” boasted Rainbow “We’ll see about that Dashie!” Pinkie remarked “Now we decide the turn order, the highest number goes first” said Toad. “those dice blocks are how you move around they number 1-10” Rarity explained Each pony except Fluttershy pressed the A button and the numbers on their dice blocks came up. “hmm, a 5. Even chances of going first” Twilight thought out loud “ooh, I got a 9!” Pinkie squealed excitedly “come oooon 10!” said Rainbow Dash hopefully. (gasp) Applejack burst out laughing “A 1?! If that aint irony I don’t know what is!” “oh just wait AJ. You’ll get yours” said Rainbow shaking her hoof at AJ “come on, Fluttershy!” said Pinkie “oh, okay” she said gently tapping the blue button. Applejack began laughing even harder and rarity began to join in“A 10! You were right Applejack! The absolute definition of karmic irony. Oh my sides!” Rarity exclaimed. “Let’s just start already” grumbled Rainbow The game began and the camera went to the starting point “This looks like a board game” said Twilight “According to the manua it is, but theres going to be some sort of mini-game after all of you have gone. “A game within a game! GAMECEPTION!” yelled Pinkie (back upstairs) “Why do I even bother trying” grumbled Spike (back downstairs) Toad appeared on screen and showed the location of the first star and explained the ponies needed 20 coins to get one whoever reaches him first.” “aww, yeah, prepare to be crushed under the weight of my stars!” boasted Rainbow YOSHI START appeared on TV, signaling Fluttershy was up first. “Okay, here goes. (hits A) oh, a 4. Not a bad start.” So the green dinosaur moved from the starting position and 4 spaces to the left landing on a blue space +3 coins “So those blue spaces give you 3 coins.” Said Twilight, a blue hue appearing behind Yoshi’s portrait. WARIO START “Weee! My turn!” said Pinkie, instantly mashing the A button as the dice block appeared, showing a number 5 moving the portly pony to a red space -3 “aww, those red spaces take away 3 coins.” Pinkie said disappointingly. A red color appearing behind her character’s portait PEACH START “Ok, let’s see. 7 that’s good” Said Twilight as if she was waiting for the right time to jump into the dice block. +3 coins DK START “Finally!” Rainbow said as if she had been waiting for hours “An 8! Ha! See you 3 at the star she gloated as the gorilla moved to a green ? space. “what does this do?” asked Rainbow As if on cue, a blue block in a futuristic vehicle stared driving towards the players, all of them running back to the start to avoid it. “….”Rainbow was silent. Everypony else could have sworn they heard something snap. Applejack and Rarity did their best to stifle their giggles, but it didn’t work out. “Unpredictable, just like me! I think I like this already!” Pinkie said happily (Since when did Pinkie become self-aware) thought Twilight Just then, the color of Rainbow’s characters' portrait, green, flashed before turning red black missile shot across the screen, leaving a cloud with the words 2 VS 2 MINIGAME PEACH (TS) VS WARIO (PP) YOSHI(FS) DK (RD) “YEAH! Let’s do this Pinkie!” (They brohoof) “I’ll try not to slow you down, Twilight...” “Don’t be silly, you’ll do great.” A board with a flashing light appeared and selected a minigame HANDCAR HAVOC “Let the Mini-Games begin!” Pinkie shouted happily
