(When we last left off, and  were stashed away in a huge sack by the nefarious , who had a Christmas plan that would allow him to take control of the world....but that wasn't the only trouble....., in a wicked plan to get even with the Super Smash Brothers gang, had "given"  a Christmas tree that was less-than-worthy of a Christmas carol.......)

( and  are playing Pokémon with a GameShark)

Dagnabbin' kids.....can't even cheat properly. Give it here!!

( and  unlink the game link cable, and hand  their Gameboys)

Don't even know half yer 8-bit stuff........(presses A and B several times)

There. Now you kids should be under the secret passage of Saffron City with infinite Pokémon HP and infite Master Balls.

Pika-pika-pika? Cha?

All I did was go Professor Oak's lab, gave him my Evee, presse A 90 times and pulled the cartridge out and then re-inserted it with my tongue!!! I thought everybody knew that glitch!!!

(whispers to ) I still can't believe Cranky actually PLAYS Pokémon...

I HEARD THAT.

Huh?

The damsel in distress thinks I can't adjust to newer games, eh???!!??! I'll have you know that Gameboy's a classic, why back in 1989 it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Sigh......

And another thing, I am SICK of your "sighing". That's it---It's time.

(sticks her head out of the door of the cabin) Oh dear.

The ol' ape's gonna stage a classic damsel-in-distress kidnappin'!! Heheh!!

( grabs , ties her up to a chair, and throws her on the roof)

Mama-mia..........(in a very a dull voice) Don't worry, Pauline--err, Princess Toadstool, I will save you from the evil clutches of that ape...sigh...

(sincere as ever) No you won't.

( throws a TNT barrel at )

Sigh......yeah, you're right.......I WON'T!!!!

But Mario!!!!!!

No, Peach, I won't save you. (sarcastic) It'll only infuriate the wrath of the almighty Kong even more.

Hahah!!!

Cranky.......

Hahah!!!

Cranky........

Hahah!!!

Shut up and get me off of this roof.

Nuh-uh. It feels too good to hold a screamin' woman hostage once more.

But I'm not screaming.

Well you will if I feed you to the hogs!!!

Dear...

Yeah?

.....we really don't have any hogs, dear.

Dagnabbit, woman!!!!

Look, everyone!!!!

It's a bird!!

It's a plane!!

It's a cliché phrase that is over-used when discussing something up above!!!!!!!!

I don't care who it is, but I need to get back to beatin' the Elite Four (turns on Pokémon)....

IT'S LARA CROFT AND SHE'S NAKED!!!!

WHERE?!?!??!

No it isn't!! This is BOTVGH and you can't say naked, and you aren't in this Christmas special!!!

@#!%!$

And you can't say @#!%!$, only I can say that!!

That's it, I'm joining Suicidal Video Game Characters Anonymous Club, since nobody cares!!

Yeah, man.....I just joined........it's tough facing life when everyone needs an expansion pak to see you, you know what I'm saying?

DO I EVER!!!

Wait---Bowser, don't leave!! Don't you care that Donkey Kong, that is, Cranky here,  dared kidnap me behind your back?????

You mean you care? Someone cares for my big Koopa soul and loves me? ( starts to weep)

I didn't say that.

WOULD EVERYONE JUST LOOK ABOVE WHERE SHIGERU MIYAMOTO IS COMING DOWN IN A HELICOPTER?!?!?!?!?

Hi everybody!!!

Ack!! (hides Gameboy)

Doggone Pokémon'll give everyone epilepsy the @$%# game fulla crap if you ask me........Oh, hi Miyamoto!!

I see you're still anti-Pokémon, Cranky.....sigh......I wish the Mario series was becoming nearly as popular.

There, there, Mr. Miyamoto. (kicks )

Being harmful to animals is wrong. Protecting nature is right. PSI-FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( burns  to a crisp)

I brought a visitor!!

That visitor would not be ZELDA again......WOULD IT?!?!??!

*gulp*............No!!!  It's Pit.

Pit?

@$%#, Jumpman!!

HEY, nobody on this island can say @$%# but ME!!!!

PIT is the angellic hero from the classic NES game THAT NOBODY REMEMBERS....(glances around)....Kid Icarus. But of course, you wouldn't know that, would you Mario?

Why of course I do!! That game was released back in 1989 along with other games like, uh.....Excitecar, Mythology of Zelda, and, uh.....that---that game that I had that wasn't 64-bit. What was it again? Super Mario 64? Super Mario Golf?

Sigh.......

(gets ready to kill  for getting the name of his first game wrong)

(almost freezes , but then remembers her promise not to hurt him one bit).

...........

Put down the chainsaw, Link..

Ok.

Super Mario Garbage? No, umm....it was....Super Mario Mario? Couldn't be.....Super Mario Under a Pile of Meats and Cheeses? Super Mario---no, that wasn't it.......ummm....Super Mario Half-Brothers That Are Their Mother's Cousin's Word Processors?

(disgraced)

THAT'S IT---I'm sure it was called Mario Party, because that was a N64 game and----and...............oh, drat......

Super Mario Bros..

You're kidding me!!! I actually have a brother?

Yes, the brother that said "Sigh...." just a few lines ago even though he's getting a Christmas tree and is not here at this very moment.

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (evaporates into the great beyond)

Oh THAT brother!! I assumed you were talking about one that actually exists!!!!

(everyone laughs heartily at 's expense)

Is there any room left in the Suicidal Video Game Characters Anonymous Club? Hohoho, and a Merry Christmas, of course.

Hi, I'm Pit, a.k.a, Kid Icarus!! I'm an angellic being who believes in dreams, love, and peace!!!

Yay!!!!!

I'll make you all happy if it's the last thing I do which it couldn't be because I'm immortal! Heehee!! (smiles gleefully)

Yay!!!!! A believer in dreams and happy foods!!!

So, when's the next meeting?

and : Oh, should be tommorow night at midnight.

Midnight, eh? I always wanted to die at midnight.

Now that's enough, Mario, DK, Bowser!! I gave you guys life and now you want to destroy it all in some lame running joke?

Sorta.

( rises 7 feet about 's cabin, and begins to sprinkle peace and happiness dust about, here, there, and everywhere!!)

I love life!!!

You know what I learned today??

What?

Life is good!!

Really?

Yes, it's true!!

I don't know about you....but it's enough to....well, to wanna make me sing a song!!! Sound good?

and : You said it!!

( and  begin to sing a very sappy song)

Life..........

It's really, really, happy!!

Life!!

Even if you need an expansion pak to see me!!!

Look what you've done you cursed angel of above!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRGGGHH!!!!

Silly mortal!! I'm not cursed!! I'm a blessed angel of the heavens with a mission of love, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Are you beginning to see why there weren't any more than 2 Kid Icarus games, Cranky?

Sadly, yes.

(meanwhile in the toy workshop... is on her daily secretary work-shift....the phone has rang 86 times)

Hey, Saria.

Yes?

The phone's ringing.

It is? Ok.....thanks for alerting me. (answers phone)

Saria!!!

Oh, hey Wario!! You know, I was sorta wondering...

Saria!!!

.....why have you never come "right back"? You know, that phrase usually means that----

Saria, Santa and I have been kidnapped by a maniacal genius!! He has a sick, twisted, and evil plan to ruin Christmas...........ever play any of the Mega Man games?!??!?

..............

(smiles playfully) You're joking, right? I've missed your since of humor, ever since you left Hyrule....

(gives Santa the phone)

HOHOHO.

........OH........I didn't know it was that serious, sir!!!

Hohohoho........hoho.

Ok....

( gives the phone back to )

How'd you understand any of that Santa HO-ing?

................

Never mind.......Saria, I need you to get help.....

Sure. There's tons of the illegal weaponry stashed away in the basement, and---

That WON'T help. Dr. Wily is serious. He has more power than even any of Santa's most hi-tech gadgets can handle. You need to get SERIOUS help. We need the help of Nintendo's finest.......have you ever flown Santa's sleigh?

You're pretty, Saria!

(eyes become flames) I'M ON THE PHONE, MIDO!!!!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

............

And have a Merry Christmas. Now what were you saying, Wario?

Have you ever flown Santa's sleigh?

Yes.

Good. Have any maps? Compasses?

I'm one of Santa's Kokiris, the Christmas Spirit will guide me.

Oh..well, bring a compass and a map just in case. Go to the island of Donkey Kong.

Where's that?

( hands the phone over to again)

Hohoho, Saria.

Hmmm...let me check the map.......

Yeah, you're right, Santa, that's exactly where it's located. Ok, I'll try to get help there right away!!!!!!

(meanwhile, with , who is jetting towards towards BOTVGH island with )

Stupid old man............I don't understand him..........If I finally destroy Mega Man............maybe then, then he'll see that I'm worth something...............( sets his CPU-locater on the coordinate of 's unit number)....

Merry Christmas, Doc........

(meanwhile, on the island)

IF YOU'RE SO ANGELLIC, WHY DON'T YOU JUST UNTIE ME FROM THIS CHAIR?!?!??!

It's not in my nature!! (smiles gleefully)

I'm here to announce something, guys!!!

What is it Toad?

The writer has run out of funny things to do.

(singing) And we love life because, blah, blah, blah!!!

He is submitting us to doom.

(dark clouds rumble with thunder above)

Peace and happiness, and peace and happiness!!!!

Hey everybody, I'm back with a Christmas tree!!!

( notices the angellic being hovering over 's house, bringing tidings of comfort and joy, but not really)

Hey.........why IS there an angellic being hovering over Cranky's house, bringing tidings of comfort and joy, but not really?

STOP THE SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is Bowser, Mario, and DK singing tunes about happiness and joyful living?

MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS, LUIGI!!!!!!!!!! DIDJA THINK OF THAT?!??!

And why is Peach tied to a chair on the roof?!?!?

Bah!

And when did Mr. Miyamoto arrive?!??!?!?!

Humbug!!!

And WHY is Link holding a sword to Mario's neck?!?!?

Because he's driving me insane, genius!!!!!!!!!!

Bah!

Humbug?!?!?

Humbug!!!

Humbug: @!#$%!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE US HUMBUGS ALONE.

And then, and then-----Jimmy the Thanksgiving Ham...*sniff*....he--he......*sob*.....HE JUST LEFT ME!!!!!!!!

AND WHY IS KIRBY HAVING AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN OVER A DEAD PIG MEAT?!??!?!??!?!??! SINCE WHEN DO HUMBUGS EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since I made them, because I'm technically a god, or did you forget that while you mozied around downtown smoking a pack of cigarettes, and forgettin' about OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!!!!!

WHAT?!!?!?!??

YEAH, YOU COULD'VE ARRIVED A FEW YEARS SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND WHERE IS THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT?!?!?!??!? Why.....is everyone..........so angry?!??!?!??!?!?

That's the ugliest tree I have ever seen in my immortal life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll cheer everyone up with tidings of comfort and joy!!! (begins to sprinkle happy dust upon the island)

I feel even happier!!!!

Let's sing a song that's even sappier then the last one!!!!!

(begins to sing) Oh I like ham because it's juicy and delicious and it's fun!!!!!!!!

.............WAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE SHUT UP.

...................................

..................................

........................................

......................................

.......................................

.........................................

Everyone: .......................................

That's better.

NOW, AS I WAS SAYING...............................(glares around)

(under breath).........bah...................

(glares at )

......................humbug...............................

Ahem, as I was saying, I am back with this year's Christmas tree!!!! We obviously don't need any angel or star for the top of the tree, since we already have a little Greek mythology boy fluttering above us.

Hey, Kirby, I have a message from beyond for you!!

You do?!

Yeah!! Jimmy says that all is well, and that you shouldn't worry about him because he is in pig meat heaven!!!

Somebody stop.............................

...................the idiocy..................................

Hey, Link.......we finally agree on something!!!!

Hey, you're right.........................

Do I sense a date coming near?

....................

Come on......you know you're wild....I'm your juiciest fantasy, Sam!!!

Trying.....................so hard!! (struggles to keep her fist of death down) Just can't...............cannot.......break word......................................need aspirin.......for head...........unngghh.......must......survive.

Annoying Ad Man: Or you could us Sighlenol!!!

What if no one wants to?

Annoying Ad Man: Better against sneezing, headaches, heck, anything!! Buy it!! Or just send us money!!

Whew.......FINALLY,  A TARGET!!!!!!!!! (releases all of her stress upon the advertisement man)

Luigi, that tree looks........I dunno.........weird.

I just found it in the middle of nowhere!!!!!!!

...........................................................Luigi, where is the "middle of nowhere"?

In the middle of nowhere. In the forest, where do you think?!

Why didn't you buy a tree from me? (thinks back to when  bought a tree from him last year)

Forget that question. Luigi, you have to remember who you got it from!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno.........it seems like......it seems like.......

Yes...............YES????

It seems like I found it in the middle of nowhere.

Do you know what this means?!??!?!?!?!?!?

What?

This is.............THE TREE OF DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (holds up printed version of BOTVGH Christmas 3 and points to the Master Hand scene)

(suddenly,  slams to the ground)

Yes..........that's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gasp!!!!!!!!

Gasp!!!!!!!!!!

Bah!!!!!!!!!!!

Gasp!!!!!!!!!!!

Gasp!!!!!!!!!!!

Humbug!!!!!!!!!!!

Humbug?!???!??!?

Humbug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Humbug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You fools!! I am starting to wonder if the trouble of devising this......(dramatic music)..TREE OF DOOM, was worth it!!

Master Hand?!?

But we destroyed you!!

UH.....You weren't in Super Smash Brothers, Princess.

What?! Why not?!??

Why the heck wasn't I in it either?

Or I?!??

Or me?!??!?

BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL PATHETIC........

I'm scared, Mario!! He knows how to talk in big, booming caps!!

There, there Peach...........What are you doing here, Master Hand!??!

(senses his true evil intent)

He has plans for that tree.

Why, that's right Ness. I've just been waiting for Luigi to deliver it......it, that is, being THE TREE OF DOOM..........DOOM............DOOM..............DOOM............DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doom..........doom............doom..............doom............doom?

Echo effect.

Ah.

You'll all pay by midnight..............when...........(sings) We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, and a  happy............KABOOM!!!! Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not after the destruction of the entire island, but what Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus Aran, Kirby, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Fox Mcloud, Ness, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff did to me was unforgivable......and unforgetable!!!!

Do you know how much my hand has hurt since that day?!

I like this guy.

There was no reason to hurt me!!

Lots of integrity. I bet he eats prunes.

Everyone: SHUT UP!!

They're good fer you..

You trapped our souls in a group of action figures, Master Hand!! And then you played around with us, and made us battle, but you know what?! It wasn't fun enough for us to stick around, so we beat your sorry butt.........uhhh....if you had one!!!!!!

Does it matter if you're right, Ness? Really? The Christmas tree will explode by 12:01, so spend your time wisely.

Oh, I was just wondering when the crisis would begin!! Sigh......

This is all very amusing, Master Hand, but do you really think that you can suceed in this plot?

If I were not more than pixels and life, I would not be floating above this ground today, Shigeru-san. Ponder upon that...

( disappears.......)

Oh no, what'll we do!!! I'M STILL STUCK ON THIS ROOF.......(glares at ).........and, we have the Christmas tree of doom with us.

You really wanna get down from that roof, Peach?!

Yes.

Maybe later.

Yes, and I guess I'll go buy your Christmas present later, also....

Mama-mia!!!

( punches  unconscious and begins to untie )

Nothing to worry about, everyone!!!

Gasp!! It's Captain Falcon!!!

Hey buddy, I thought you didn't exist in this episode!!

I didn't!! The writer just dropped me in!! My real purpose here is to try to defuse the Christmas tree bomb, and then fail, leaving you all in despair!!

Gosh, we just can't have enough of that good ol' despair around Christmas time!!!

(conscious again) Yeah, heh, isn't it great?

(everyone stares at )

...................You guys just don't know what's fun, why back in the ol' days, we were always in despair!! That's because we ate wood!!!!

You did? Did it taste like chocolate?

It tasted better than chocolate, kid!! It tasted like wood!!

Just as I thought!! This is impossible.

Sigh......let me give it a try........

My head hurts..........

This is terrible......

You can say that again......

No, it's just terrible that the island is going to blow up before I do my Christmas shopping.

Peach....

Yeah, Mario?

This may seem like a very funny idea, but..........why don't you just do your Christmas shopping BEFORE the bomb goes off, assuming that it does?

Great idea, Mario!!

Mama-mia.

That Christmas tree is.....gasp.......evil!!

Brilliant.

( lands)

, and : TAKE US WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link!!

Saria!!

Fly!!

Ok....Off Dasher, of Prancer, off Donner and Blitzen, and all of those other reindeer and stuff!!!!

(the sleigh begins to fly away)

Bye!! Have fun saving the world and stuff!!!

Link....it's been so long!!!

Yeah, yeah, now what's the problem?

Huh?

Kid, I've been waitin the whole episode for a sleigh to land and for me to called away into some heroic duty!!! It's SCARY down there on BOTVGH Island!!

A floating hand the size of an elephant, an annoying angel, a Christmas tree of doom, chaos everywhere.....all we need is a partridge in a pear tree to top it all off!!!

I could get Santa to get you one!!

Sigh....

Wario hasn't kidnapped Santa again, has he?

No.......it's a bit uglier than that....it's more of a....hostage situation.

Hostage situation!! ALRIGHT!! VIOLENCE!!!!!!

Heehee...always the same, Link.

Excuse me as I barf.

Who's holding St. Nick hostage?

You sound as if you're an expert on this!!

One, I'm a plumber. Two, I've done this TWICE before!!!

Well, it's Dr. Wily......Wario didn't tell me why, but Dr. Wily is interested in becoming Santa Claus...so he has Santa and Wario, who just became an elf--

Wario's one of Santa's elves? Ha!!!!!!

Hey, he's not an elf, he's a Hylian!!!!

WARIO IS A HYLIAN?

Well, yeah, Link, didn't you know?

............

Long story. You see, before he moved to Brooklyn at the age of 7, which, was when you first met him, right, Mario?

Right.

Well, before that, his mother and father had lived in a small cottage, not far from the entrance to Kokiri Forest...........

Back then, he would often wander into Kokiri Forest, and he soon became could friends with me....I treated him like a big sister, if I had even known how that would be done, anyway......

INTO FLASH BACK

( walked into Kokiri Forest)

So, Wario, what do you wanna do today?

Gee, Saria......we had a lot of fun exploring those "lost" woods yesterday, but, today.....today, do you think you could come over to my house today, and....and maybe play some ball?

Sigh.......I've told you already, Wario...............I wish that I could, I really do, but--but I can't. I can never leave Kokiri Forest.

Whoa...that's bad.

(smiles) .......not as bad as having the name "Wario".

Hey!!!

(later)

Hey Saria!! Looka what I found in the grass!!! 10 rupees!! Heheheheh!!!!!

Heehee.....Wario........oh, I'll never get your fascination with rupees!! Keep it up, and you'll either be the greediest person in the world, or the richest.

Hey! Why can't I be both?!

OUT OF FLASHBACK

One day, he just had to leave.....I'm happy to see him again......

Hey, why don't I remember him?

He'd visit very late in the evening......Link, you'd always be dozing off by that time!!

And that would explain his pointy-eared appearance. Hmmmm....

Well, anyway, they're being held Dr. Wily........so, ok, it's not really a hostage situation yet.....but once Dr. Wily finds out our plan, it might turn into one.....let's just hope that things don't get ugly.

Did Santa ask for our help specifically?

Yes....

Alright!! I knew all of our heroics would pay off!! Now we're like Santa's buddies or something!!!!

(meanwhile with )

The island is just ahead....come on, Mega Man..............let's hear a couple of Christmas carols!! (insert more cheesy bad guy lines)

Writer: Oh no!! What'll happen? Will Bass learn how to speak dilligently? Will the Christmas tree blow up? Will the chaos ever end? Find out in Part 3!!
