The Mushroom Kingdom never takes a break when it comes to the invasion of Bowser and his minions. However, things take a different turn this time when Princess Peach gets kidnapped and taken away by a new evil force to a place called Equestria.

Now, Mario and Luigi must team up with Bowser to collect certain valuable items for the mysterious figure in exchange for Princess Peach. Little did they know that they’re not the ones looking for these Equestrian items...

Speaking as a fellow writer working on a Paper Mario story: I really like the start of this one. Can't wait to see more chapters.

I was just looking for paper mario stories the other day! xD

Mario! Luigi! You've come! And you're only …3 minutes late! What took you so long?

Peach is an impatient one

It was really bizarre! I remember, it was very dark… and there was a mysterious - almost discomforting – fog that justloomedover what I think was a garden. I felt rather uneasy the entire time, but what really got me was when right before I woke up, I saw an eerie shadow emerging from the fog!

My best guess is it is Sombra

Bowser, the King of the Koopas

Apparently Peach forgot her weekly kidnapping… ups

Crystals

Yes! I knew it! What is my price?

Well, that defiantly seems interesting. Let’s see where this might go

Reeeeally? Give mine a read while you're waiting for this one to update, why don't you?

9037098
Will do lol

Not sure what Sombra wants to do here, but the story already feels a bit better than others I had seen. Not sure if I just disliked the crowded chapters with the main six and the partners, or if it really was not that interessting to me.

I hope I can stay till the end this time.

”Equestria?” E. Gadd gasped. “I’ve been doing research about that place ever since the Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom. Quickly, I’ll explain inside!”

Not sure what to think about that.

”Hi Mario, it’s me, Cappy!”

nnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo

While the game was nice, I disliked the transformation with his mustache on them and to be honest I find that cappy as interessting as bucky the bucket, handy the glove or whatever weird helper he got recently.

It still is better, but I wil have to see what comes next.

ever since the Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom.

I don't know if I like this...

There are no people. Only ponies exist.

Should I tell the Griffons, Hippogriffs, Dragons, Changelings, Donkeys, and Yaks that they don't exist?

Hi Mario, it’s me, Cappy!

No, just no. I don't like this... at all.

”Cappy? What are you doing inside the Storybook? I thought you were on top of the other Mario’s head?”

”I can visit the Paper Mushroom Kingdom any time I want, as long as Mario’s fine with it! I also thought it’d be cool to see some of the professor’s work here!”

... Interesting? Ok, that solves the fact that Paper Mario is its own continuity and so on, but still wired.

Why don’t we just leave Bowser behind in Equestria?

I'm sure the Equestrians would appreciate that :facehoof:

Don’t sweat it, lad, the time machine is set to ‘Present Day.

Then it is not a time machine, but a teleporter

Hrm...Something seems off to me here. I totally buy that there would be paper versions of other characters like Professor E. Gadd and Cappy, But, I don't think I buy that the Cappy in this story is the same one from Odyssey. Seems like he would have been better off as a full on paper counterpart, as opposed to the same character.

In addition: why take the time machine to Equestria? I feel like an expert on other worlds like Professor E. Gadd would have created some kind of portal, or modified a green pipe to reach that other land.

I'm sure that this will all make sense at some point in the story, so don't take my questions to heart. Just keep doing what you're doing, if you already have a plan to address these at a later chapter.

“We love and tolerate like there’s no tomorrow!”

:rainbowlaugh:

Well that was funny for some reason, It felt like it finally mentioned how they can go overboard with this stuff sometimes.

I kind of wished for Paper Mario VS Rainbow Dash as another intro fight with Paper Mario winning.

Y-you’re also a princess??” The trio stuttered. “We must bow to you, Your Highness!

That seems strange here, their reaction is just a bit to much even if Mario would probably bow to a princess if I like it or not.

”I’m afraid not.” Twilight replied. “However, I can train you in the meantime to combine your powers with my magic spells!”

Yes it is Mario, don't worry.
I somehow always imaged if that would be a game, then he would have a chance against Unicorns or even the Alicorns, at least after he powered up a bit. I'm not exactly one for making up the biggest theories, but I never imaged him being stopped that simple.

HHhhhmmm not sure if I want him to become a pure magician or if I want him to add a bit "Paper Mario" to the attacks.

The chapter was still nice enough, I think at this point the other story gave me the first wrong signals.

Okay, but you have to build it somewhere where nobody else can see it, otherwise the Mushroom Kingdom will be full of ponies.

Oh no, a friendly race of potential allies… I fail to see the problem. If he had said, ponies could accidently stumble in, ok, but this sounds surprisingly racist :rainbowhuh:

Stay close to me as possible. If anything moves, I’ll be sure to catch it with a fireball.

Burn first, ask questions later :rainbowlaugh:

almost as if they’re spying on the animals

They are spying on the animals

I guess these people, or ponies rather, really are friendly!

What let you think otherwise?

, the Princess of Friendship caught it in the end.

of course, but I won't be saying anything right now. I just kepp counting how often they probably rescue them instead of Mario and Co doing something awesome.
Sorry but I maybe have some kind of prejudices about such stories even if I liked it so far.

Okay now after Rainbow uuhhhh Twilight won, I need to see the rest.

”I hope you’re ready for your first combo attack with me, Mario!” Twilight exclaimed.

I maybe forgot it, but are they in the paper world too? I mean is this a paper pony world?, because they strangely are so competetive and know about combos and stuff as if they would always do it.

I will have to see where this is going.

Strange. I didn't think Mario would feel the need to behave so formally in front of royalty. I always figured him for the casual, blue-collar type. Then again, Mario's entire personality is up to interpretation, so I won't give you any trouble for that at all.

I like the idea of Tirek being involved. I liked him as a villain, but instead they pick Queen Chrysalis as the recurring bad guy for the show.

On a final note: where's Spike in all this? I know most people don't like him as a character, but I really feel like he's an important asset to the show's tone and balance.

Aww. Cappy's got a crush on Applejack. Also, love that surprise pop in from Luigi at the end.

Woah, who’s this fella with the mustache?

What mustache? :moustache:

”Aww thanks, little buddy.” A.J. blushed. “I rarely say this to other stallions, but you’re...a bit cute, too.”

Of course she likes the hat :ajsmug:

He’ll be in here shortly. He’s still busy sucking in all his “glory:rainbowlaugh:.”

”I need to find this reformed Changeling named Thorax, because I believe that he’s willing to make me feel not so evil and he could be the only one who could save us from our old ruler, Queen Chrysalis.”

aaaawwwwww he is not Chryssis friend.

Hunter’s voice came inside from Twilight’s map room. When the group rushed to him, he was freaking out about the fact that dark clouds started to swirl up on the table and covered the entire thing. These were the same dark clouds Mario and Luigi saw back in the Mushroom Kingdom

I really don't like the map room, some reasons are because of the possible cliches it stands for, that it makes me think of several of those bad rescure heroes cartoons from when I was a kid and I never understood why Twilight wasn't just going with them when she wanted it in the beginning.
I'm not the only one who thought like that, but I'm not sure if I had that disscussion here or on youtube under the episode, probably here.

These guards haven’t confiscated my items! Check your pockets to see if we have anything to use to break out.

So, we figured out Sombras danger level: Idiot

”Twilight, honey, come save us from this evil abomination!” Twilight Velvet cried.

”We know you can do it, Twilight!” Night Light pleaded. “We love you so much!”

Why do I think these are not the real deal?

the Elements of Harmony, the Sun Journal, the Memory Stone, the Ring of Destiny, and the Pillars of Old Equestria

That... is a lot. 15 Items, well if you don't count the pillars as living beings

There's a reason for this and it's all explained in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam.

You see it's explained in Paper Jam that Paper Mario's world exists inside a magic self writing book inside the 'canon' platforming world. Kinda like how in kingdom hearts Hundred Acre Woods exists in a book but is it's own world. They both exist and can influence each other.

I am King Sombra. I once ruled a kingdom called the Crystal Empire, but I have fallen and shattered into nothing but a broken shard...

Sombra! I knew that you would show up somehow.

9046077
Yeah, yeah, I know that. Still, find it wired that Capy decided to simply jump into the book.

”Darling, you are quite the charming one, are you?” as the unicorn winked at Cappy.

”Rarity, this boy clearly likes the country style!” A.J claimed. “Right, sugarcube?”

”Applejack, he’s clearly a top hat, and that means he’s automatically more suited for high society.” Rarity giggled.

... I... I don't even

I like where this story is going.
Except when Peach is being forced to be a bride of someone. I'm willing to think Mario and Bowser are not going to like it.
But the story is going great.

I am terribly sorry, but I can’t just let you free... You will be MINE!!!

Ah, yes he is very polite until he isn’t

Smoke bombs went off behind the group and in the midst of them all was a blue unicorn wearing a magician’s outfit. She was smiling sinisterly and her eyes were colored black and red, while being surrounded by a dark aura around her.

Oh boy, evil Trixi, that is going to be fun

”Something doesn’t seem right about her.”

You don’t say :facehoof:

Bowser, can you gently carry Trixie in your arms?

In you sharp claw hands

”Blehhh!” as Luigi puked a bit.

Baah :pinkiesick:

”Yay...” Fluttershy intimated.

I think you forgot a word here

”Did you say spicy food???” Mario, Luigi, and Bowser asked. “I love spicy food! No way, me too!”

Ok, that was cute

that we were checking in on behalf of Princess Twilight Sparkle, and the receptionist didn’t make us pay anything!

That would be one of the few times this actually worked :rainbowlaugh:

Applejack? Oh, it is you! Sorry about that, I’m always required to wear these shades, which was why I couldn’t see you ponies in the first place.

Ok, that got a chuckle out of me

and his power level is calculated

What is it? Oh, only over 9... kinda disappointing:moustache:

”Those stories...were so beautiful.” Bowser sniffed.

What? :rainbowhuh:

9055435
Which of the three choices at the end did you pick?

”Besides Rainbow Dash’s ‘Sonic Rainboom’ bringing us altogether, we all had separate lives to carry on after we got our Cutie Marks.” Fluttershy addressed. “We still see our parents every now and then, though.”

That is not an answer

”Hmm... Suspicious looking mustaches, weird overalls, and a floating top hat... Did you bring thieves into my house, Rainbow Dash?”

Depends if you count taking everything that is in a block as stealing

Everypony, fly for your lives!

Ha, cute

The Old Pillars of Equestria were actually the original Elements of Harmony

Not really, the Tree of Harmony and with that, the elements were not a thing until after their disappearance

Nobody, not even Mario or Luigi, except me knows that Princess Peach actually has abusive parents.

... What? As far as we know she has no parents, we never saw them and it would screw with the characterization of Toadsworth.

”You’re talking about THE King Sombra that was destroyed several years ago?” Star Swirl huffed. “I don’t believe that at all!”

Would you believe it if you sent him to another world?

He was a weakling trying to claim the Crystal Empire’s throne, but we pummeled him way to the ground easily.

That sounds so wrong.

YES!!! It is I, Queen Chrysalis! I’m back for sweet revenge!

Hey, that cockroach came back

I see that you’ve made your choice precisely, and now we will see if this Fire Flower and lightning bolt will fuse nicely. The Lightning Flower shall have strong power!”

Wait.. what did she say?

this Fire Flower and lightning bolt will fuse nicely. The Lightning Flower shall have strong power!

!!! N..no.. Did she just.

The Lightning Flower!

...... I WANT THIS ITEM NOW!!!!!

NO! Do not touch Tempest Sombra! I will hurt you!!

”Nobody, not even Mario or Luigi, except me knows that Princess Peach actually has abusive parents.”

.... What... What... WHAT!!!!

I will murder them!

Giga Bowser! Now the Tail brothers will get a Ultra Beatdown! This is a good story!
