Ahem......... So. So. So, you're finally, you're all here, my friends.... Greetings.... greetings to you all. My name.... is Light. Dr. Thomas Xavier Light.

Please.... please, have a seat...

....or, if you prefer standing in front of your computer screen while reading large amounts of text, that's quite all right with me.

There is a purpose for me being here today. One of importance, great, great importance. Great importance. Tremendous importance.

IMPORTANCE importance. Do you know what important importance is, dear friends? Why, it's important, that's what!!

It's.... err.... scientific as well. I know this for a fact, because I'm a scientist, and as a result, I know some "very scientific things". Scientific things are the things that are in my head. And it's a smarty-smart head, I can tell you that. I can tell you that because I know this well. As a matter of fact, I know it very, VERY well..... ho-ho!!

Ahem! But as important as my purpose here may be, perhaps you don't see my purpose here.......... alas, does anyone TRULY understand their purpose? Do I understand the purpose of you............. of me...... of cheese?

Dr. Light? What are you talking about?

Cheese, of course, lacks the intelligence required to build such a scientific device, but if you talk to it very nicely cheese may even....

What?! Dr. Light, what does this have to do with season 7's final episode?

Be that as it may, there are still technical difficulties within the system; of course, this must all be resolved under careful analysis of the...

Dr. Light!!

...and of course that would be mankind's fault entirely, Dr. Philanphos! Regarding not only the genetic code, but the....

DR. LIGHT!!

.....but that would leave the neutrons unstable, thus making them not neutral at all, but electric. They'd be electrons!!! Ho, ho, ho,  your jokes DO crack me up, Dr. Philanphos!!

DR. LIGHT!!

This would mean that there this no way to correct this foolish error, only but to re-structure the internal mechanism in itself!!

DR. LIGHT!!!!

Hmm? Oh, hello, Mega Man. I was just explaining to Dr. Philanphos the importance of---

Doc, Dr. John Philanphos is miles away.... he was sent to prison last year for stealing nachos, don't you remember?!? And he died last week.

Wha...?

...........

Whe........ where am I then?

You're on BOTVGH..... remember?

B-b-but.... but I............

.. but..... but.. but...

....... but........... Ah, yes, NOW I remember! I'm here to explain what happened to Cranky and Zelda's marriage or some sort of crap like that...... errr.......... right?

Riiiiight.

....Yes, but of course. Why...... why I was just......... I was just testing your strengths, that's all.

Testing my strengths by talking to a dead convenience-store convict, Dr. Light?

Er............................. yes. AHEM!! Yes. Testing is what I was doing to you, Mega Man....... testing.

(thinks) Poor guy's slowly losing it....

Ahem. Testing.

Testing?

Testing.

Okaaaay.... I'll disappear now so you can do the scene right this time.......... OK?

Yes, yes..... of course.

Will you be OK by yourself, Dr. Light?

Errr...... yes, Mega Man.

Good.

I think.

OK, I'm disappearing, so all you readers listen up as Dr. Light explains what exactly happened that week when Cranky had proposed to Princess Zelda, OK?

(Nobody answers)

OK?

(Again, none of the readers answer him)

Is anyone READING?!

(The wind rustles)

Well, sheesh, go play Majora's Mask or something if you don't wanna know what happened!!

Yeah, play Majora's Mask, play Majora's Mask! While you're at it, send me money!! Send 5,000 rupees and a Majora's Mask strategy guide to---

Get out of here, Link!!

(pulls out his sword) I've had enough of your constant criticism--- SHUT UP, ROBOT!!!

Samus!! Samus, Link told me to shut up! And... and.... AND HE CALLED ME A ROBOT!! *Sniff*....... *sob*....

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

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

Mega Man, sweety, I really hate to break it to you..... but you "sorta" are a robot.

Really?

'Fraid so....

Well.... uh...... well, Link did tell me to shut up!!

Is that so, "dear friend Link"?

Uh-ohhh........... heh......

(grins) I'm gonna have to slap your face off!!

( slaps 's face off)

SAMUS, YOU SLAPPED MY FACE OFF!! NOW THERE'S BLOOD ALL OVER, AND---

Listen, that doesn't matter!!

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

..........

...........

It just doesn't matter!!

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

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

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

It..... doesn't matter that I don't have a face anymore?

No. It doesn't, because Dr. Light is beginning the episode all over again! So be quiet!!

(whispers) But will that make my face re-appear?

Probably not.

YOU @$#&*@$!!!!!!

Shhhh!! We're disappearing now, see?

Hey, cool!!

( and everyone else vanishes)

Ahem.

Greetings, dear readers of BOTVGH.

I am a man with a very white beard. I have been known all over the world for my very, very, white beard.

Unfortunately, this beard of mine is completely irrelevant to this story, and thus, you should probably forget about it, though I'd personally suggest that you keep it in your mind, because.......... well, because I find it rather pretty. (winks)

Despite my very white beard, something incredible happened at the end of BOTVGH, season 6. Cranky Kong had proposed marriage to the Princess Zelda. It was a cliffhanger, indeed. But more than a cliffhanger..... indeed, more. Indeed, it seemed to be more than a cliffhanger..... err.... because it was. I think. Indeed.

It was during this cliffhanger that we discovered more about Mario's past...

::FLASHBACK::

Heya there, it's-ah-me, Disco-daddy Mario!! Looka me afro, everybody!!

.....something very peculiar happened in that episode, also...... very peculiar indeed. Quite peculiar. Molecularly peculiar.

SCIENTIFICALLY peculiar.

Peculiarly peculiar.

Indeed, we all know of the Legendary Rivalry between Princess Peach Toadstool and Princess Zelda... do we not? Well, in this very episode, this episode of fate, this VERY EPISODE--

Everybody that isn't in 's office: GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!!

Ahem, yes, of course. And it was in this episode the Wicked Dragon Princess Zelda infuriated the fair Princess Peach of Peace, and in her new-found angst, the Mushroom Princess had hatched an Evil Diabolical Plan of the Wickedus Diabolicus Genus to get married BEFORE the Princess Zelda did!! Truly Wicked and Diabolical!!

Bravo!! Bravo for Shakespeare I say!!

The scene, despite what might be read in that last episode, read along these literaturically emphamatic lines:

Royal Princess Zelda of The Kingdom of Hyrule: Thine pride... thine pride, dear "sister", O' witchcraft-consuming sister in broken friendship, thine pride is no more than a crushed and bruised lot of memories, for thou art the victim of my cunning.

Princess Peach of The Kingdom of Mushroom: O what dost thou babble on about, O Princess Zelda of The Kingdom of Hyrule? Are not thine words to me much like the droppings of my Royal Pet Yoshi of The Kingdom of Mushroom; nothing more than a stench unto my "most delicate" nostrils?

Royal Princess Zelda of The Kingdom of Hyrule: (laughs) Thine jesting is refreshening, do not doubt that, my dear Peach.

Princess Peach of The Kingdom of Mushroom: (voice filled with bitterness and sarcasm) And I thank thee verily.

Princess Zelda of The Kingdom of Hyrule: But lest thou collapseth with the burden of pride, do doubt that thine popularity in the Mushroom Kingdom will come of ruin once thine peasants and thine common-folk know that I managed to be married before THOU did!!

Princess Peach of The Kingdom of Mushroom: What?! What?! What truth..... what truth can behind these-- these "words" that come out of thy mouth......... O, thou art a vile witch!!

(Princess Zelda of the Kingdom of Hyrule smiles wickedly at this point, confident that she is indeed the victor)

Princess Peach of The Kingdom of Mushroom: Verily I say that thou art a most vile witch and a boar at that, dear Zelda, but do not think that thou hast obtained victory over thine fellow Princess so easily!

Princess Peach of The Kingdom of Mushroom: Come hither, brave Wario, for I shalt surely marry you, and in the light of our wed, the Princess Zelda... surely she shall choke, shalt she not?

Brave Wario: Eh?

*sniff* That scene was simply......... beautiful. William Shakespeare always brings me to tears.

Anyway, soon after that scene, the drama intensified, as--

What?! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!

Oh, hello friend Mario, I was simply discussing in a very intellectual manner---

Shut up, you old quack!! You know that's not what happened, and the chances are that the people ALREADY READ THAT SCENE, a scene which Shakespeare DIDN'T WRITE, so GET OUT OF HERE!!!

But-- but---

If people wanna know what happened, they're gonna find out the right way, now GET OUT!!

But-- but---

( slaps 's face off)

But--but---

( re-appears)

Dr. Light, what happened to your face?!?

But--but---

Mario, is there going to be a lot of gratuitous violence in this episode?

You bet, Link!! It's a good thing the people at BOTVGH don't censor things like faces being slapped off!! *wink* *wink*

( gives  a Nintendo Gamecube)

(Editor's Note: Yay!! Now if only I had some games...)
Well gee, I guess I better get myself into the plastic surgery room then...... later, guys!!

Everybody: Later, Link!

Gosh, it's a good thing he didn't take it too harshly when I slapped his face off.

( thinks back to when she last punched him and he had thought she was flirting with him)

Well, now that I think of it.... it's not a good thing at all.

Well everybody, by the now the readers are probably very confused, so we should probably let them in on what really happened, right?

Right.

Right.

Right.

Mr. Clean: A clean kitchen is a good kitchen.

(Everyone stares at Mr. Clean)

Mr. Clean: Errrr......... I mean, "Right".

At this point we should probably inform you, the readers, that you should probably read the final episode from season 6 over again. I HIGHLY suggest that you pause, read it, and then come back here. Unless you paid attention to that episode in the first place, in which case I BEG YOU, STOP READING THIS WRITER'S EPISODES!! If you stop reading his episodes maybe he'll stop writing those stupid Christmas specials, which'll probably save me from a few explosions and/or painful accidents in the not-so-distant future!! PLEASE!!

Thank you. I now present to you, Cranky Marries Princess Zelda, Part 2.

(Ahem! When we last left off, err...... or I mean, when the season last left off, or..... uhh.................. well, it was a while back!! Just think back to that time and you'll find out happened!!)

Anonymous reader with the strange ability to contact the guy in the parentheses: Hey! I'm an anonymous reader with the strange ability to contact the guy in the parentheses, and I think this episode is just plain silly!!

(Why?)

Anonymous reader with the strange ability to contact the guy in the parentheses: Because, that wedding episode was so long ago, nobody even cares anymore!!

(Ah....... but this episode is a vital episode, vital to the entire BOTVGH series!!)

Anonymous reader with the strange ability to contact the guy in the parentheses: Oh yeah?! Well what if I'm SICK of episodes that are vital to the entire series?! HUH?! What if I don't want to see something big happen?! HUH?! HUH?!

(Well, sir, I don't like you very much. Go away and eat candy.)

Anonymous reader with the strange ability to contact the guy in the parentheses: What if I don't HAVE candy?!

(Here. Have a chocolate bar.)

Anonymous reader with the strange ability to contact the guy in the parentheses: Gee, thanks!

(Now behave and stop being a big baby.)

(Ahem.... as I was saying, when we last left off,  had just woken up in the middle of the forest...)

Eh?! Peach......... eh....... what's with the.... uh..... errrr...... the white......... the white......

Dress?

Yes! The white......... uh...... dress, that uh.................. sorta looks like a wedding dress?

Do you like it?

Uh..... eh.................... no. It scares me. You scare me. You are in the act of scaring me, Princess.

Well guess what?

What?

I DON'T CARE!!!

.......... Umm......... you don't?

Let's get this clear right now, Wario---- I'm using you in a blatant attempt to get married before that witch, Princess Zelda!!

YOU........ marry.............. ME?!

( thinks heavily about it)

Hmm.......... I could be stinkin' rich if I marry Princess Toadstool....... maybe even become the next king!! That is... err.... if the Mushroom king actually existed.... I don't anyone's even seen him..... but nevertheless, I could be stinkin' rich!! Heheheheheheh!!

Hmmm........ but then there's Mario.... he'd always be in the way. The dirty bum. He can always borrow a coin or two from me..... yeah..... that'd shut him up. Heheheheh........ lessee, I can have power, wealth, fame, as well as power, wealth, and fame!!!

But.......... then I'd have to give up my job at Santa's workshop....... Saria........ Saria'd be so disappointed if she found out that I quit my job there just so I could live with some rich girl living back in Hyrule......

Hmmm..........

(And so  thinks about what he should do, while  dresses him in a tuxedo and gives him a red bow tie......)

Peach, I've, uh...... come to a decision--- marrying you would be a very immoral thing to do as it would crush Mario's heart and ruin any chance of peace between us, and although you are the most beautiful person on this planet, I'm afraid I simply must be very firm with my decision, your majesty...... I can't marry you. It would be dumb.

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

I'm sorry.

You.............. you called me "your majesty"!!

Eh........ so I did....... did I?

Yes, you did! Mario never calls me that!!

He doesn't?

He doesn't!!

( looks at  with big, glittery, anime eyes)

Oh Wario!!

*Gulp*  Oh.... oh.... umm.......... Peach.

(Meanwhile with )

Look, don't worry, Mario---- Peach running off to get married to Wario isn't anything really personal.... she's just jealous of Zelda, that's all!

(Back with )

( kisses  on the cheek)

Ha! I bet Cranky wouldn't call ZELDA "your majesty"!

(And back with )

You know how women are when they get into little cat fights like this..... completely irrational!! Why, I remember the time Princess Ruto and Malon got into a fight over who I cared for more........ they started shooting each other!!

Sigh. But Link...... guns don't exist in Hyrule.

OH..... well, umm............. then it was just one of those "weird times", I guess.

Weird times?

Uh.... yeah. Weird times, when the moon is green and there's....... pigs dancing all over.... Hyrule Field.

Oh, one of THOSE times, huh?

Er...... yes.

Sigh.........

Hey Mario, I know a way to cure your depression, AND make you less sad!!

(sarcastic) Gosh, a cure that can do BOTH?!

Yup!! Just sing a really sappy love song that you made up yourself!!

You know, Kirby..... that's really not such a bad idea!

Whoa boy..... laxative time.

Ahem. Hit it, maestro!!

Maestro: I'M @#%$ SICK OF HITTING IT.

@#$*$!!

( begins to sing really badly)

(chorus) I like you.... Princess Peach!
I like you......... a lot!!
I like you......... Princess Peach!
I like you....... you're hot!!

I met you back in '85, you've always made my days come alive,
But now you've left me and gone to marry another fellow............... because your envy was the color of green Jello....

....Puddin' snacks!!

Your eyes were blue like really blue things, I never really heard you sing.
I saved you time after time after time.............. and now I'm here rhyming this rhyme!!

(chorus) I like you.... Princess Peach!
I like you......... a lot!!
I like you......... Princess Peach!
I like you....... you're hot!!

You left me and now I'm all alone,
I'm really pathetic and don't know how to sing... and..... and...........

.......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Tsk, tsk, Mario........ great Italian opera singers do not cry in the middle of their singing!! It is not professional.

Oh yeah..... well......... well......... you try..... y-you..... you try to do better, Luigi! *sniff* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

Ahem! Maestro, please.....

Maestro: OH, ALL RIGHT ALREADY!!

Thank you.

This oughta be really good.....

You.... like opera, Samus?

Sort of.

Heh... you know.... I have a bit of Italian blood in my heritage, and I bet I could sing a love opera for you anyday, Samus.

( slaps 's face off)

YOU DID IT AGAIN!!

Link, this is a flashback!!

Ooops, sorry. Heh.

YOU DID IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS EPISODE!!

Shh, he's about to start!!

( rolls up his sleeves)

( drinks a glass of water)

Oh brother.....

Ahem!

( ahems)

( begins to sing)

Princess Peach, oh Princess Peach...... there was a day when each
Of us saw you and thought
There's a girl who's great, who does not hesitate
In doing what is best for her kingdom

Mario liked you more than me, so all I can really see
Is the fact of his love for you; can lost dreams ever come true?

*sniff*

OH WHY, PEACH, OH WHY PEACH?! There was a day when each
Of us saw you and thought
There's a girl who's great, who does not hesitate
In doing what is best for her kingdom!!

OH WHY, PEACH, OH WHY PEACH?!
See my brother's broken heart, for rivalry did you just part
With Mario and his love for you

Well, I'll see you later, guys.... I'm going make myself a baloney and wood sandwich....

You don't like Luigi's great Italian singing, Cranky?

Singing? I thought he was trying to cough out his intestines. In that case, maybe I'll eat the baloney and wood sandwich later. This is pretty doggone good singing.

You think so?

Not really. When you're my age, you'll listen to anything while you're taking your laxatives.

OH WHY, PEACH, OH WHY PEACH?!
You left because you were mad at the Princess of Hyrule. You left to marry Wario, but Wario's a fool.......
Oh why did you have to be so hasty because of jealousy?
When you........... oh YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU..........
Could have married Mario instead; your hero forever; your destin-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

*sniff*

Rivadici arbego loba valici morinci vetania horo de mezzo de gracé!! De prega orgela manatellicci fezzo!!

( bows)

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

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

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

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

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!

I know, Mario. I know how you must feel. It's a very confusing time for all of us.

( pats 's shoulder)

No, it's not that!!!! *sniff*

Then....?

Where'd you learn to..... *sniff*....... SING LIKE THAT?!

It's simple, Mario. I'm more Italian than you.

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

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Errrr....... I mean..... not that that is such a good thing!! I mean..... being too Italian, it's uhhh... it's bad for you, because Italian food has been proven to umm....... cause stomach decay!

*Sniff*....... that's not true, Luigi....... you're lying to me.

You're right, I am.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

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

( stares at )

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

YOU'RE A BIG BABY!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Yeah, that's right, you're a big fat baby!! Peach never said she LIKED Wario, she's just marrying him so she can ruin Zelda's plans!!

......*sniff*.............. really? Then you think I'm just being silly?

Of course, there was that time when she winked at him during last year's tennis tournament........

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Hey, Jumpman.......

*Sniff*............. Yeah, Crank?

Jumpman..... I, ehhh..... I don't know how to say this, but ummm......

I sorta........ I sorta............ I'd sorta like for you to umm..... uh.......... I'd sorta like it if....... uhh......... if uh........

.......if you'd be my best man at my wedding!! There, I said it!!

............*sniff*.............

.................R-r-r-really, Cranky? You want me to be...... your best man.....? Even...... even after all these years of senseless violence precariously labeled as "humor" and then fed to the willing masses of young minds across America?

Aw......... heck, even after all these years of senseless violence precariously labeled as "humor" and then fed to the willing masses of young minds across America!!

........Gosh, Cranky....... that's....... that's so nice of you........ I love you, man!!

Say..... I wanna seal this permanent truce between us, Jumpman.... I mean, Mario. So here, wanna bite of my baloney and wood sandwich?

*sniff* Sure, Cranky!!

WELL TOO BAD, YA CAN'T HAVE ONE!!! MWAHAHAHAHAH!!

( throws a TNT barrel at 's head)

AUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!! MY HEAD'S BEEN BLOWN OFF!!

( interrupts the story)

Ahem. Violent, Link?

Quite.

(The story resumes)

YOU BLEW MY HEAD OFF!!

( drags a 54-inch screen TV into the scene of the violent head murder)

Why the big-screen TV, Shroomy One?

What big screen TV?! I can't see a big screen TV!!

When'd you go blind, Mario?

I didn't go blind... MY HEAD WAS BLOWN OFF MY NECK!!

Oh yeah.

Which brings me to why I brought this TV here....... well..... it's sorta like this, see.......

( takes out the 2001 revised version of The Official BOTVGH Rule and Code Book With New Recipes for Plot Twists and Ultimate Disaster, and turns to page 54)

That ultimate disaster part came to no surprise to the readers, I bet. Ah, here we go.......

Ahem, page 54 paragraph 2.....

"In the situation wherein a deed of great violence followed by many exclamations of fury and the reading of many long words from a handbook that Toad will be holding in an episode by Matt Broussard, in such a situation as, for example, Mario's head being blown away, the innocent and impressionable readers must be quickly subdued with an advertisement."

Eh........

No el comprendo............. señor?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What?! I thought he was speaking Spanish!!!!

Sigh............. put it in plain english for him, Toad.... I would, but my head is being washed away by the tide here.............

Oh yeah. Well, to put things in in layman's terms, we're gonna have a little commercial break from our sponsors so the audience won't be exposed to excessive gore that results when someone's head is.... err..... blown off their body by an explosive.

('s head starts drifting away)

We have "sponsors"?

Umm......... Yeah.

Gee...... Kremling Island is just over that way..... I've always wanted to visit that place, but never like this..... sigh.

Wait a minute---- if we're SPONSORED for being hopelessly stuck on an island, how come I never get any money then?!?!

Uh.....

I WANT MONEY!!

Hmm..... y'know, this water could use a little more salt....

I'LL SUE!!!

Why hello, Mr. Shark!!

I'LL SUE ON GROUNDS OF BAD SPONSORSHIP!!!

Uhh.....

Hungry, you say?

Shhh!! The commercial's about to start!!

No, I can't say that I'd really taste good with plain parmesan cheese, but a bit of marinara sauce might just do the trick!!

I'LL TAKE IT TO THE SUPREME COURT!!

Be quiet, Link!!!

NO!!!

YES!!!

NO!!!

YES!!!

NO!!!

YES!!!

NO!!!

NO!!!

I DEMAND A RE-COUNT!!!!

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

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

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

What's that you say? It's almost dinnertime?

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

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

Umm.......... heh.

( quietly sulks into background)

While Mario tries to get his head back on and excessive gore floods the scene, we at BOTVGH want you to enjoy the following word from our sponsors at..... you wouldn't believe it if we told you.......... SEGA!!

HURRY UP AND EAT ME!!!

( appears on the TV screen)

Hi. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, and I'm here to remind you that Sega's products are always of the highest quality.

In fact, Sega's products are among.......... among.............

.....they're among..........

Aw heck with it, this isn't about Sega, and this isn't about our products.

This is about ME......................... and you guys on BOTVGH island.

Quite frankly, I got one @#$% of a bone to pick with you guys. You're all @$#& LOSERS, WITH NO MONEY YOU $@#*% @^!#%$!! @#$$#!!

Heh. But that ain't all I got to say. I'm sick of you Nintendo-heads reading this whole thing!! It's ridiculous........ how much faith are you gonna put in this new Gamecube when it comes out, huh? TELL ME!! I'll tell you something about Gamecube....... that thing you saw at Space World.......... IT WASN'T A REAL GAMECUBE.

Oh no it wasn't......... last night I snuck into Nintendo HQ myself and took a look at Nintendo's great and mighty "128-bit" console, and found out a deep, dark secret......

It's actually a Dreamcast painted purple!!

There's evidence, see?

( points to a television screen)

Now, as much as this may LOOK like a picture of Metroid Gamecube scribbled with crayons onto a TV screen, it ISN'T!!! It's genuine!!

Why, just look at the genuine, state-of-the-art 3D graphics!! How can this be beat?

( touches the TV screen and some crayon color comes off on his glove)

..............Errrrr...........................

But what if I'm lying, you say? Huh? WHAT if I'M lying?

What if I'm lying, huh?

Just WHAT IF I'm................. lying.

................ Well.............

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

(whispers to a man who looks strangely like ) What IF I'm lying?

Mysterious man who looks like : Ah, but tell them that you're absolutely not!!

Yeah, that'll do the trick.... those @$%& NINTENDidiots'll believe ANYTHING!!

Ahem!! Well what if I'm lying, you may say?

Well I'm not.

So there.

What'cha gonna do about it, Nintendo fans, HUH?!

Huh, huh, huh?! You gonna whine about it to Schmintendo Flower Magazine? HEHEHEHEHEHEH!!

.........Schmintendo Flower Magazine....... I crack myself up!!

Say, is Mario there?

His head is drowning in the ocean, apparently.

Oh really? Well next time you see him, tell him that I wish his head would drown in the ocean and that he'd die!! HEHEHEH!!

Yes. Of course I will.

Lemme seeeeeeee........... what else can I say before the commercial time runs out........?

Oh yeah........ YOU'RE ALL REALLY STUPID!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!

DREAMCAST RULES!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!

Got anything you wanna say, Knux?

Uh.... yeah Sonic, I do...................

But......?! BUT..................

What are you waiting for?! Give me--- I mean, err....... give HIM the number!!

( slaps 's head off so he won't be able to hear the number)

(whispers) It's 555 378 3973!!

Got it!!

Knuckles, we're supposed to be endorsing SEGA here, not NINTENDO!!

You're just jealous cuz you're not Samus Aran's new boyfriend, that's all!

But........ but........ Samus!!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Mysterious guy that looks like : There's only 1 minute of commercial time left, Sonic!!!

Nice to see you out here in ocean, Link!! I was just talking to Mr. Shark here, and he said he'd love to have more people at this dinner party we're about to have, see---?

(The commercial ends)

Somebody hurry up and take care of the head situation here while I hurry up and get another commercial ready!!!

Yes sir!!

THE SHARK'S GETTING CLOSER, AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Link, stop yelling!! Mr. Shark is very sensitive, and---

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!

Lemme see, how do I get a couple of heads back onto their bodies without being messy?

Yes?

Kirby........... when I'm gone.... *gasp*....... when I'm gone..... go to Lon Lon Ranch...... go there.......... tell Malon that I loved her........... and that even though........ even though I spent all my days flirting with Samus Aran here on this island.............. I uhhh.......... I really did love her.

Silly Link, you're not gonna die!!

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

You're BOTH not gonna die!!

I'm not?

He's not?

( violently throws his celebratory baloney and wood sandwich into the garbage)
