Ongoing story

[Rex]

Ongoing story is a type of fan fiction with several authors where one person starts a story and ends it with several choices. The next person picks a choice and continues the story, ending it with multiple choices also. I got the idea from super Mario bros headquarters and I'm hoping it'll catch on. I'll start:

Mario was having a usual day when he heard a noise from outside, he went to see what it was and saw...

A. Bowser kidnapping Peach
B. Wario stealing coins
C. Donkey Kong eating a banana

Go to SMBHQ and click on ongoing story if you have any questions.

[LordBlumiere]

...Donkey Kong eating a banana. The gooey, squishy, squelching noises made Mario want to...

A. Kick Donkey Kong hard in the chest
B. Steal the banana and throw the peel at Donkey Kong
C. Call upon the residents of the Underwhere to ravage DK's soul

[Toomai]

...steal the banana and throw the peel at Donkey Kong. Unfortunately (and somewhat predictably), DK just grabbed Mario as he approached and chucked him away. Mario looked up to see...

A. Luigi whith his head stuck in the ground
B. Yoshi, Kirby, and Pikachu in their TARDIS called the SALAD
C. Wario in the air above him

I thought an ongoing story was a fiction, what just keeps going on like a soap opera with hundreds or even thousands of episodes.

[Rex]

I never claimed to be an expert in this, I already told you that I got the idea from SMBHQ.

[shadowgoomba]

...Luigi with his head stuck in the ground, which was above Mario, so...in the air. Mario then...
A. Tried to crumble the floating ground by jumping into it.
B. Worked at getting Luigi out by pulling him out from the top.
C. Concluded that the ground was too hard and went for help.

[Meta Black Yoshi]

*Oh I love this!*

.....Concluded that the ground was too hard and went for help. After about an hour of searching for help, Mario...
A. Decided he'd give up and go for a swim.
B. Was at his house sleeping.
C. Wondered if he should turn back.

[shadowgoomba]

Decided that he'd give up and go for a swim. As Luigi stayed there, suffocating, a similar fate was about to happen to Mario! It was a giant whirlpool! Realizing he couldn't swim away, Mario decided to...
A. Plug the hole with a rock cartoon-style.
B. Grab onto a peice of coral and hang on until the whirlpool subsided.
C. Use a metal cap and walk away.

[Rex]

...Use a metal cap and walk away. Unfortunately, he used a vanish cap by accident and was sucked into the vortex. Meanwhile, Luigi was suffocating and Donkey Kong was raiding Mario's fridge. Anyway, Mario popped out the other end and realized he was in...
A. Hyrule
B. Planet Shroob
C. the clutches of Gooper Blooper

[shadowgoomba]

Planet Shroob. He stared out across the horizon. Mushroom-shaped huts were everywhere. After the death of their leaders, the world was barren and desolate. Even more so than before. Mario couldn't help feeling sorry for them and for once, understood their desperation for a new planet. He walked into one of the villages. Starving Shroobs were everywhere, but they didn't notice him because his Vanish Cap was still in effect. Mario then got the idea to...
A. Ditch the Shroobs and find a way to escape.
B. Give the Shroobs his remaining items in attempt to gain peace and help the Shroobs out.
C. Sneak into Princess Shroob's old castle and gather information.

[Toomai]

...ditch the Shroobs and find a way to escape. Mario wandered around until he found a portal generator. There were three settings, and Mario chose:

A. The Krawlspace: a bottleneck wormhole that connects the Marioverse and DKverse.
B. Dark Aether: a dark duplicate of a peaceful planet.
C. Ice Island: one of Kirby's colder climates.

[shadowgoomba]

a dark duplicate of a peaceful planet. Unfortunately for him, he was already on such a planet! The teleporter transported him right into the Shroob grand hall. His Vanish Cap had ran out. The Shroobs had him surrounded. There was no way out.
"&@!#!!!" shouted one of them.
"*^$!" shouted another.
Suddenly, a large door, larger than the Thousand-Year Door opened. The Shroobs fell silent.
"So nice of you to join us," said a voice.
Mario turned. It was the largest Shroob he had ever seen.
"I am the Shroob Queen! How dare you kill my children! Now you shall pay!"
She snapped her fingers and several of the unused Blooper enemies came to drag Mario to her. She raised a tentacle and grasped Mario. He slowly lowered to her mouth when all of a sudden...
A. A Shroob in a mask knocked out the Shroob Queen by shooting a chandelier above her.
B. Wario burst through the door after following Mario through the portal.
C. Mario used a Fire Flower to burn the Shroob Queen to the ground.

[Rex]

...Wario burst through the door after following Mario through the portal. After him followed Tantanga the spaceman, whom Wario had bribed into helping him, Tantanga scattered the shroobs while Wario Proceded to break into the shroobs treasury. Mario excaped in the confusion and attempted to find a way out. Unfortunatly, Mario found himself deeper in the castle, and he opened a door to find...
A. King Shroob on his deathbed
B. The Shrooboid Factory
C. Bowser in chains

[shadowgoomba]

...The Shrooboid Factory. All around him were Junior Shrooboids, Elder Shrooboids, and Shrooboid Brats. But this room only formed their bodies, so it didn't give them life just yet. Mario had nothing to worry about. However, he did notice something in the center of the room. It was impossible to miss. It was the largest Shroob creature yet, as tall as Bowser's Castle and as wide as the Glitz Pit. But it wasn't an issue either. It was floating in a cyllinder not unlike the one the Junior Shrooboid used to be in. Mario slowly approached it. A small inscription read "&*!#@ ^*%## (& !@#$%^ /?&!@ *(^%" which Mario somehow understood as "Senior Shrooboid, the next great weapon of the Shroob empire". Mario used the silent opportunity to...

A. Cut the power to the factory.
B. Look for the cooridor to the treasure room to locate Wario.
C. Raise the Shrooboid himself so that it could work for him.

[komrade]

...cut the power to the factory.

However, before he had the chance, WARIO decided to raise the Shrooboid himself so that it could work for him. Before the red-clad plumber could stop him, Wario flipped the master switch and the monstrous being came to life.

"Ok, Shroobie," snarled Wario, "There are these gargantuan diamonds sitting in the treasury, just waiting to be mounted on my walls, but they're too big for me to carry out all at once. Tatanga is busy wish the minor henchmen and that worthless Waluigi (who tagged along at the last second) thinks that there's no breathable air up here, and is busy "suffocating" by the front gate. So c'mon and help me, Senior. Just bring them to my spaceship, and we're outta here."

The Shroobie replied...
A. "%^&*# *$()# *(.... &*($" (You look to tasty to give me orders... get in mah belleh!)
B. "%%#$ %#* *^?" (Yes, o corpulent one)
C. "*$(^ $*%( #*@*$ !@($ &$(@)(@ *@*$#% *%(@." (What's in it for me, blubber butt?)

[shadowgoomba]

"%^&*# *$()# *(.... &*($" (You look to tasty to give me orders... get in mah belleh!)
As Wario got swallowed by the monstrosity, Mario gasped in horror. He was so preoccupied with Wario that he didn't realize that hatch doors opened and hundreds of Shrooboids marched towards him.
Meanwhile...
"Ahh!" yelled Wario as he fell down to the stomach. He landed with a thud.
"Ew. I've seen better places," said Wario.
Wario noticed a Shroob in a corner. He approached it.
"Hey, loser, how do I get out?"
"#^%$^? $%#! $%#!" the Shroob said as he looked at Wario with a welcoming tone.
"What? This some kind of secret code? Look, I just want to know how to get out!" commanded Wario.
"(*&^&$%%! (*^&^&^, *& ** &." stated the Shroob.
"Look, you're starting to get me mad. I'm going to beat you up if you won't help!" threatened Wario.
The Shroob didn't understand him, but he knew his tone. He drew a peace sign into the stomach with his claw.
"Oh I see. You do want to help. You're peaceful. Why are you here, anyway?" asked Wario.
The Shroob pointed to some stomach acid.
"$," he said.
"What?" asked Wario.
"$!!!!!" yelled the Shroob.
"$? Stomach acid? WAIT! This acid is valuable?!?!?!?" said Wario with a lustful look in his eye.
The Shroob nodded.
"Woohoo! But what will we carry it in?" asked Wario.
The Shroob held up a giant bottle from his hammerspace.
"That'll work fine. But how do we get out?"
The Shroob shrugged. Wario then got the idea to...

A. Make the beast throw up by tickling it.
B. Throw a giant Bob-omb and brace for impact. (He's invincible!)
C. Throw smaller Bob-ombs to attack the beast's uvula like in Yoshi's Island.

[komrade]

...throw a giant Bob-omb and brace for impact. (He's invincible!)

Wario cocked a bushy eyebrow. "But where do you suppose we'll get that?"
The Shroob happily produced the said Bob-omb from his hammerspace as well, despite that the explosive was at least several times his size.
"Oh," grumbled Wario, "Well in that case, go for it! We're gonna be rich!"

At that moment, Mario swiveled around to see the legion of Shroob soldiers. Thankfully (well, maybe not), the Bob-omb detonated at that moment, producing a blinding flash of light. The next thing Mario knew, he was staring at..

A. The Overthere, standing only feet away from a somewhat-peeved Luigi.
B. The Shroob soldiers, only they are twice as large.
C. A hideous torrent of stomach acid, burning away at the castle.

[shadowgoomba]

...A hideous torrent of stomach acid, burning away at the castle. Everything was in chaos. The Shrooboids were either blown away by the blast or were running away, fearing the acid. Wario scrambled as much as he could and ran away with his new Shroob friend, who may know the location of more valuables. He hopped on with Tatanga, snatched Waluigi, and flew off. The ship was surprisingly roomy. Mario ran through after him through a hole in the wall created from the blast, and managed to snatch a Shroob UFO to keep in pursuit of Wario. Wario then...
A. asked the Shroob which shop would pay the most for the acid.
B. looked for a place with more valuables.
C. conveintly checked the rear-view mirror.

[Toomai]

...convieniently checked the rear-view mirror, where he saw that Mario had used a Clawshot to latch the ships together. "Ah, whatever." Wario shot the ship into hyperdrive, returning him to Mushroom Earth. The whole gang disembarked to see...

A. Peach and Daisy playing tennis.
B. Boshi, practicing his sarcastic comments.
C. Some Magikoopas having an argument over politics.

[shadowgoomba]

...some Magikoopas having an arguement over politics.
"You see, Bowser can't just provide health care to all of his troops. He has an image to keep up, you know," said one.
"Yeah, I suppose. But maybe we could overthrow him," said another.
"That won't work. Do you know how much of the taxpayers' money goes into his security system? Almost 2%! That translates to tons of money. Besides, we're still beginners. We don't know any of the good spells. All I can do is the standard Geometric Blast and heal a few minor injuries," said the first one.
"Well, I just learned this one," said a third.
The Magikoopa waved his wand and a small lightning bolt shocked down. By a pure turn of events, it struck the cord between Mario's and Tatanga's ships. This got the Magikoopas' attentions. They leaped into action. They fired a few rounds at the Pagosu, but nothing worked. Unfortunately for them, Mario's ship was careening out of control and smashed right into them. Mario and all three Magikoopas were knocked out cold.
"See ya sucker!" yelled Wario, who then asked Tatanga to fly to...

A. Poshley Hights, as they are rich.
B. Boo Woods, which loved to buy odd items.
C. his castle so they could rest, eat, and refuel.
