Super Wario Bros.: Halloween Life At Smash
OCTOBER 31st, 2016
HALLOWEEN
~Prelude To Disaster from Fire Emblem Fates starts to play~
A lone bus with a worn-out Super Smash Bros. logo on the sides drove through the wild hillsides of the Smash World in the moonless night. All the creatures that lived in the hillside, even the typically fearless wildlife, such as the wild Houndour and Houndoom, fled the moment they spotted the bright, flickering lights of the bus.
It wasn't until the bus arrived at E. Gadd's laboratory of the Smash World that it came to a screeching halt. Once it did, the front door of the bus slowly opened with a rusty screech. It would take a few seconds for it to completely open, revealing a big creature whose true form was completely obscured by the darkness of the bus's interior.
~Prelude To Disaster stops~
But the instant the bus's interior lights came on, the figure was revealed to be just none other than Master Hand.
"Alright everybody, off the bus. I have to talk to Elvin before you go trick-or-treating," the giant hand ordered, floating out of the huge door designed specifically for him and Crazy Hand. Only a few seconds after the sane giant hand got out, the Wario Bros, both brothers dressed as the Mario Bros, Crazy, who had finger puppets of Wormy's caterpillar form, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs on his index, middle, and ring finger respectively, Falco, who was wearing a white sheet with a Boo's face on where Falco's face was hidden, Lucina, who wore a Pennywise costume and clown makeup, Duck Hunt Dog, who had his fur dyed so he resembled Scooby Doo, Solid Snake, who was dressed like Shaggy, and Lucario and Meta Knight, neither of which wore costumes, waltzed right out.
"Waa, why do we have to get out?" Wario wondered, fixing his red hat while the gang walked to the lab's entrance, a Warp Pipe that sat on the top of the hill.
"Because a certain four of you would cause nothing but chaos if you impatiently sat around the bus while I'm gone. Even Lucario and Meta Knight wouldn't be able to handle you," Master Hand answered.
"I hate to admit it, but he's right. I can barely handle one of you weirdos," Lucario groaned just as the gang reached the top of the hill.
~Spooktastic World from Wario World starts to play~
"What?! We can't even go inside?!" Wario whined.
"It'd be impossible to cram you all in the lab! Now just run around the hill to entertain yourselves while I'm in here," Master Hand replied.
"Okie-dokie!" Crazy squealed before flying around E. Gadd's hill several times in a few seconds. Master Hand then snapped his oversized fingers to teleport himself in the lab.
"We have to wait out here for a few seconds?! We're going to freeze to death!" Falco cried out before he was instantly encased in a block of ice.
"Waa. Guess we're going to have to play Go Fish," Waluigi said. Once Waluigi pulled out the cards, Falco's ice prison instantly melted, allowing the blue bird to excitedly run over to the Wario Bros.
xXxXx
~Spooktastic World stops as Professor E. Gadd from Luigi's Mansion 3 starts~
E. Gadd was staring at a huge computer monitor inside his Smash World lab when Master Hand warped in. Completely oblivious to Master Hand's arrival, it would take a tap on the head for the scientist to notice him.
"Oyamaa! Sorry about that, Master Hand. I was a bit distracted with my work," Elvin stated, keeping his eyes focused on the computer monitor.
"So I see. Speaking of your work, what was it that you wanted?"
"Ah yes! You see, after I discovered that the Internet appears to be a strange world of its own, I decided to try and see if I could find a way to enter it," E. Gadd said. "And while I haven't actually managed to enter it yet, I think I have figured out a way to connect this world and ours! And, at the very least, I have gotten a better look at this bizarre world. Just look at it!"
"Alright, let's see here..." the giant hand said as he took his attention to the giant monitor.
~Professor E. Gadd stops as Intro from Hotel Mario starts~
The monitor showed Malleo and Weegee in a fiery cesspit, walking towards a gate, which had a sign with the words "Mashram Kingdoom" nailed over another sign. The fake sign fell off right before they entered, revealing that the real sign just said "Gates To Hell". With the meme brothers stopped in front of the gate, Bowza poked his head over the hellish sign.
"HA-HA!" Bowza cackled in Nelson Muntz's voice. Suddenly, Weegee teleported behind the meme Bower, grabbed him by the tail, and chucked him down to Malleo.
"You stupid bitch," Weegee cursed. Malleo started kicking Bowza, and Weegee returned to the ground to join in on the kicking.
~Intro stops~
"Uh... what am I witnessing?" Master Hand asked.
"Mystery, wonder, foreshadowing, science, but most importantly... stupidity," E. Gadd answered, still in awe at what he was seeing.
"Yeah... do you think there's even a point in connecting this world with ours?"
"Oh course! Just doing it in the name of science is good enough of a reason!" Elvin replied, turning away from the screen. "And with how things are going, I'd say November nineth will be the day that I will mark history!"
"Uh... huh... Well, I have people to take trick-or-treating, so... farewell." Master Hand snapped his fingers again, teleporting back out of the lab.
"Understandable, have a nice day!" the scientist said, going back to staring at the monitor.
~Haunted Chase from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest starts to play~
Suddenly, a skeleton popped out from the giant computer monitor, shattering the glass and ending the live footage of the Internet realm.
"Boo! Now hand over your credit cards!" the skeleton demanded.
~Haunted Chase stops~
However, Professor E. Gadd simply retaliated by shooting the skeleton's skull into many pieces with a shotgun.
"HOW DARE YOU GET IN THE WAY OF MY RESEARCH, YOU SOULLESS ABOMINATION OF NATURE?!" Elvin snarled, shooting the already dead skeleton even more times.
xXxXx
~Bad Manor from Wario Land: Shake It! starts to play~
The suburban area next to Smashtopolis was really in the Halloween mood. Every house had Jack O' Lanterns, fake skeletons, and plastic tombstones laying out in their yards, and kids and adults of all kinds dropped by every house, getting candy from the house's owners. Master Hand's bus drove through the street, letting Wario, Waluigi, Crazy, and Falco get a good look at all the houses to pillage for every last ounce of candy.
"Waa-ha-ha! Excellent! We still got here before too many little brats did!" Wario cackled. "That means we can hoard as much candy as we please!" Meanwhile, Falco quietly stared out his window, seeing a Swirlix float down the street. A Chuboomba rushed up behind the Swirlix, his Goomba mouth wide open, but the Swirlix swiftly leaped at the sugar-devouring Goomba and started taking bites out of his mushroom body.
"DEAR BEANSTAR, NO, STOP!" the Chuboomba shrieked, only to get entirely devoured along with the lollipop it was carrying. With her enemy dead, the Swirlix happily hopped back the way it was going prior. Falco, off the bus with everyone else, was still staring at the Swirlix with Crazy.
Speaking of people off the bus, Captain Falcon, who was dressed as Vegeta, and Chrom, who was dressed as his wife Robin, stood in the middle of the festive neighborhood, paying attention to Pikachu, who was wearing a Gengar hoodie, and Pichu, who had a pale-yellow sheet with Mimikyu's fake face scribbled on the belly part, while they went from nearby house to nearby house.
"Master Hand sure is late," Captain Falcon stated, tapping his feet on the ground. Meanwhile, Master Hand and Lucina approached the two Smashers from behind.
"Boo," Master Hand casually uttered upon getting close enough to Chrom, grabbing his and Captain Falcon's attention.
"Well, somebody's in the Halloween spirit," Chrom chuckled.
"No, there's a Boo right above your head," Master Hand pointed out. Both Chrom and Lucina looked up, finding one of the iconic ghosts floating above Chrom's head.
"How diddly-diddly-doo do you do?" the Boo asked before vanishing from sight, leaving the two Exalts confused.
~Bad Manor stops~
While the two royals wondered about the strange Boo, Wario, Waluigi, Crazy, Falco, Duck Hunt, and Snake approached the first door on their trick-or-treating spree.
"Alright, you guys know the drill," Wario whispered to the rest of the gang. They all nodded, with Wario knocking on the door. The door slowly opened by itself, yet, despite that, Heavy Weapons Guy was hiding behind the door, a big smile on his face.
"HELLO!" Heavy shouted, waving to the trick-or-treaters.
"Trick or-" the gang of six uttered.
~Outlaw! from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Time/ Darkness starts to play~
However, the gang were silenced the moment Heavy pulled out his minigun named Sasha, their eyes bulging out from the sight of the deadly weapon.
"HAHAHAHA!" Heavy maniacally laughed.
"Run for it!" Duck Hunt Dog ordered, leaping into Snake's arms. Snake slightly sprung into the air and tried running away, only to end up remaining in place. The other four actually started running away, but Heavy started blasting a huge amount of varying candy from the minigun, knocking all six trick-or-treaters down. A huge pile of candy formed over the knocked down weirdos, rapidly growing more and more. Eventually, the candy pile had effectively become a miniature hill, and only then did Heavy stop firing candy.
"Ha! Take that, weirdos!" Lucario chuckled while Master Hand, Pikachu, Pichu, Lucina, Meta Knight, Chrom, and Captain Falcon casually stared at the hill of candy.
"YATATATA!" Heavy sang, doing a strange jig around the candy pile before rushing back into his house and slamming the door shut.
~Outlaw! stops~
Young creatures of all kinds approached the candy pile once Heavy retreated back into his lair, ready to take some of the sweets for themselves.
"Nice, this is some good stuff," Gaius of Chrom's Shepherds, the only adult in the incoming group, remarked.
~Hurry Up! from Wario Land 4 starts one minute and seventeen seconds in~
Once the kids and Gaius started snagging the sweets, Wario came to the realization that they were buried beneath various candies. The portly plumber immediately began to grab as many sweets as possible from the inside of the pile and tossed them right into his bucket.
"Waa! All of you guys, hurry up! We're in a gold mine of sugar and it's only a matter of time until a bunch of weirdos come and take it all from us!" Wario told the squad. Once Wario spewed those words out of his big mouth, the rest of the weirdos joined in, rapidly taking as much of the sweet stuff as they could.
Within a mere minute, thanks to the weird gang, the children, and Gaius, the pile of candy had been reduced to nothing but a few lollipops and chocolates covering the ground. However, upon their freedom, Wario and Waluigi started unintentionally getting into brawls with some of the violent young ones, forming big balls of violence.
"Wario! Waluigi! Stop attacking the children!" Lucario demanded before leaping into the dust ball Waluigi and a young Shy Guy got caught up in, joining the fight. Wario's ball of violence and Waluigi's ball of violence swiftly merged into one, rolling around and accidentally dragging Crazy, Falco, Lucina, Duck Hunt Dog, Snake, more kids and Gaius into the mix.
"Oh good heavens! Knock it off, all of you!" Master Hand ordered to no avail.
"No worries! I've got this under control!" Captain Falcon claimed. Rushing up to the growing violent dust ball, Falcon reached his hand into it. "Falcon Separate!" Falcon only pulled out a Waluigi mask from the violence, horrified at what he pulled out. "No! I separated Waluigi's face from the rest of him! What have I done?!"
"That's mine," an Octorok child informed, swiping the mask from Captain Falcon's grasp before rejoining the fray.
~Hurry Up! stops~
"Oh boy! A single lollipop!" an innocent Bob-omb child squeaked, walking towards the huge ball of dusty violence. Before the explosive child could snag the treat, the big ball of violence rolled over him, dragging him into the fray, where a young Burning Leo accidentally spewed fire that lit the Bob-omb's flame. Seconds later, the Bob-omb exploded, sending everyone caught in the big ball of violence flying away.
xXxXx
~Pumpkin Panic from WarioWare Gold starts to play~
In another part of the neighborhood, closer to the shopping district of Smashtopolis, Sans the skeleton was staring at a plastic skeleton hanging from a leafless tree. The living skeleton was nervously smiling at the sight, with sweat falling from his boney face.
"G-gee, this sure is terrifying," Sans stated. "I'm somehow sweating even though skeletons shouldn't be able to do that. And that's pretty spooky." Sans walked away from the fake skeleton, only to stop a mere few steps afterwards. "Oh yeah, and somebody ought to put some clothes on that skeleton. That's gross AND the poor skeleton will get bone-chilled out here." As Sans started walking away again, Wario, Waluigi, and the rest of the trick-or-treating gang crash landed across the street.
"Hurray! We all conveniently landed near each other!" Crazy cheered while everyone got up.
"Waa, and with no Master Hand, Meta Knight, and especially no Lucario in sight!" Wario happily pointed out.
"Yeah! That means we're really free to do what we want!" Waluigi added.
"Yeah, great, but can we please wait a bit? I gotta tie my shoes," Snake said.
"Waa, fine, just hurry up. While you do that, I'm going to stare into the depths of Wario's soul," Waluigi said.
"Same," Wario repied.
~Pumpkin Panic stops~
The Wario Bros indeed stared into each other's eyes, so intensely in fact that a purple string of electricity pierced out of their eyes and collided with each other. While waiting for Snake to tie his shoes, Crazy and Falco walked across the dark street to a small store.
"Ooo! This place has got some pretty creepy decorations! Jack O' Lanterns, artificial Spinarak web stuff, fake skeletons, real skeletons..." Falco said, staring through the shop's window.
~Phazon Mines from Metroid Prime starts to play~
"Yeah... but that thing's TOO creepy..." Crazy whimpered.
"What thing?" the blue bird asked. Crazy, shivering with fear, responded by pointing at a piece of paper tapped to the window. Crazy slowly moved aside, letting Falco read it for himself.
~Phazon Mines stops as Run, Rambi! Run! from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest starts~
The paper read "Please read Super Wario Bros.: Daily Life At Smash if you somehow haven't already please I beg you" in purple ink.
"Blatant advertising! Truly a horrifying sight!" Crazy cried out, fearfully twitching.
"Dear god! Who allowed such an atrocious thing to exist?!" Falco snarled.
~Run, Rambi! Run! stops~
While the two continued to stare at the paper, the other trick-or-treaters were standing behind them.
"You guys sure you want to spend all your time staring at some dumb paper and not get some candy?" Wario asked.
~Pumpkin Panic starts again~
"Oh yes, anything to get away from the horror!" Crazy said. The giant insane hand swiftly pushed all his friends to the house across the street with a single shove, although the instant Crazy stopped pushing, Snake fell so harshly that he cracked the concrete below. After Snake got up, Lucina approached the door and knocked on it before backing away. Everyone got their buckets ready as the door opened. Behind it was Alolan officer Nanu, who had a blank look on his face as per usual.
"Trick-or-treat!" Wario, Waluigi, Crazy, and Falco eagerly said. Nanu sighed, grabbing some small, plastic bags from the side.
"Here you go, you... uh, people," Nanu nonchalantly uttered. The officer dropped a single bag into each of their buckets, although the bag that was placed into Falco's bucket was unusually big.
"Thanks for the stuff!" Falco thanked the officer.
"Oh yeah, thanks!" Crazy added. Once the group had gotten far enough away, Nanu slowly but surely closed the door, keeping an eye on them.
"Freaks," the Alolan officer remarked before finally closing the door shut. The gang of nutjobs and pals pulled the bags out of their buckets, put said buckets on the ground, and peered into the bags.
"Jackpot! I got a big, juicy jawbreaker!" Wario exclaimed.
"No, I got the jackpot! I got TWO jawbreakers!" Waluigi replied.
~Pumpkin Panic stops again as Punch Bowl from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze starts~
Right after Waluigi finished speaking, Ed, Edd, and Eddy appeared next to the largely oblivious gang, all three Ed boys wielding katanas. Before the trio of Eds could steal the jawbreakers, Waluigi, the only one aware of them, fended them off with his trusty tennis racket.
~Punch Bowl stops~
"And I got... a dog treat. How predictable," Duck Hunt Dog complained.
"Uh... I think he gave me... an egg?" Lucina muttered, pulling the multi-colored egg out of the bag. "Looks just like those eggs from the Spring Festival..."
"That weirdo actually gave me a dead raccoon," Snake stated, holding the dead mammal by the tail. Once the soldier pointed that out, Nanu bolted out of his house, with another bag in hand and casually riding his Absol without even using his free hand to cling onto the Disaster Pokémon, all while keeping his blank expression from before. Once Nanu and his Absol came close, the officer swiped the raccoon and gave Snake the bag.
"That was meant for the Absol," Nanu pointed out. With the items swapped, the Absol carried Nanu back into the house, the door slamming shut on its own once the two went back inside. Snake shrugged before digging the replacement, a small, chocolate fox, out.
"He gave me a jar of honey!" Crazy said while Waluigi sent all three Eds flying off into the distance. "Hey Falco, what'd you get?"
"I got a rock," Falco groaned, holding a Geodude.
"I'M MORE THAN JUST A ROCK, YOU FEATHERY FREAK!" the Geodude yelled. "I'M SO MAD AT YOUR EXTREME STUPIDITY I COULD EXPLODE!"
~Stop! Thief! from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX starts to play~
Suddenly, the Geodude's eyes turned pure white, and his body slowly started turning red.
"SELF-DESTRUCT IS NOW ENGAGED," the living rock said in a robotic voice.
"WAA! HE'S GONNA BLOW!" Waluigi shrieked. Everyone else screamed as the lanky wacko ran over and kicked Geodude out of Falco's hand, punting him all the way up into the night sky. They all then ran down the street, fleeing from the inevitable destruction.
~Stop! Thief! stops~
Soon enough, Geodude eventually started falling back to the land below, hurtling towards Youngster Joey and the Inkwell Hell Devil, both further down the street.
"Now, listen closely. I'll help you get all the candy from this joint, but, once you've eaten every last one of your sweets... you're in my debt, kiddo!" the Devil told Joey. The youngster, not paying attention to the deceiver's words and instead staring into the night sky, didn't actually hear a word the Devil just said. However, thanks to his attention sticking to the sky, Joey noticed the incoming death machine that was Geodude and hightailed it out of the danger zone. "Where the devil is that brat-"
That's when Geodude finally unleashed his Self-Destruct attack, creating a small explosion that the Devil ended up in. The explosion was quick yet still deadly, for once it died, all that remained of the Devil was a pile of ash and his two eyes. Geodude, fainted from his own attack, laid right next to the burnt pile.
"Ah hell..." Joey's Rattata dropped by, carrying a Revive, and used the Revive to bring Geodude back to consciousness in the blink of an eye.
xXxXx
~Drilbur Coal Mine from Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon starts to play~
The clouds kept shrouding the sky during the pack of trick-or-treaters candy-hunting spree. All seven Smash Grounds inhabitants were standing in front of a small house, getting candy from Magolor. Crazy got his candy before the others and rushed out of the line so they could get theirs. Once he got out of the line, he noticed something exciting down the street.
"Ooo, that looks coooooool! And dead! Mostly dead!" Crazy stated, flying off towards the thing.
~Drilbur Coal Mine stops~
Everyone else quickly got their candy and walked away from the house to take a better look at what they got from Magolor.
"Excellent! Garlic drenched in chocolate!" Wario exclaimed.
"Gah! That sounds revolting!" Lucina gagged.
"Guh... seeing such an unholy combination of food is such a disgusting sight that it's making me feel butterflies in my stomach," Snake added, holding his belly from the pain. The soldier let out a burp, which in turn released a living butterfly. "... Those chocolate butterflies from before were actually butterflies covered in chocolate. What the fuck is wrong with people?"
"Uh... guys, where did Crazy go?" Duck Hunt asked. Everyone scanned the surrounding area but found absolutely nothing but the surrounding houses. "First we lose sight of Master Hand, Lucario, and Meta Knight, and now this."
"Next we'll lose our sight!" Wario responded before a couple of orange leaves flew right in front of his eyes. "WAAAAAAAA! I knew it!"
"Wasn't he here just a second ago?" Lucina replied while Waluigi got the leaves out of Wario's eyes.
"Hey! Maybe he went to one of those places!" Falco suggested, pointing towards the end of the street that Crazy went towards.
~Foreboding Forest from the same game starts~
The other five all looked right where Falco was pointing, finding both an abandoned mansion and a graveyard at the end of the road. The gang ran for the two creepy locales, with Wario and Waluigi arriving at the end of the road first.
"A mansion AND a graveyard?" DHD groaned.
"AND a U.F.O.!" Wario exclaimed.
~Foreboding Forest stops as Disco Train from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest starts~
Indeed, there was a flying saucer in the sky, with several Clefairy dancing on it. The flying saucer crash landed in the middle of the graveyard, with their music still playing.
"Turn that lousy music off! I'm trying to have a dirt nap here!" a voice within the graveyard demanded.
~Disco Train stops~
"It looks like we're going to have to split up," Waluigi suggested. "Duck Hunt, Snake, you two can go check out the graveyard, and the rest of us can go inside that manor thingy."
"Seems a little uneven to m-" Snake said before Wario, Waluigi, Falco, and Lucina bolted for the manor's door, leaving behind a dust cloud that the soldier and DHD got trapped in.
"Waa, hang on, I gotta check something," The lanky weirdo said before the other three rushed in. Waluigi ran back to the manor's gates, stopping by an old sign that read "Mansion For Sale For An Infinite Amount Of Cash". "Okay, everything's good!" With that, Waluigi right back as Wario swung the door open, letting the four in.
~Old Chateau from Pokémon: Diamond/ Pearl starts to play~
But little did they know, there was more to the sign than Waluigi found. The wind greatly picked up, pulling away the dead bush that sat behind the old sign, revealing the letters "C-ck-e-ta's S-mm-r M-n-r" on the other end. Once the four made it deep inside the foyer, the door slammed shut. Wario tried to open it again, but it was locked.
"Stupid door! It's locked!" the yellow nutjob complained.
"Wario, surely you could break it down with your strength, right?" Lucina asked.
"Waa, obviously. Hang onto my bucket for me." Wario handed the bucket over to Lucina before he got into a position, readying himself for a Shoulder Tackle attack by jogging in place.
~Old Chateau stops as Pristine Office March from Kirby: Planet Robobot starts~
However, instead of doing the Shoulder Tackle, Wario suddenly started performing a rapid break dance towards the giant door.
~Pristine Office March stops~
Unfortunately, Wario was electrocuted by a seemingly random bolt of electricity just before he could hit the door. While charred a bit, Wario shook the ashes off before walking back to the others.
"Shocking," Falco muttered.
"Great. Not only are we locked in some stupid mansion, but the mansion's got the faultiest electricity I've ever seen!" Waluigi remarked.
"I'm afraid that this place doesn't have faulty electricity!" a voice cackled. The four froze, only their eyes moving while they looked for the owner of the voice.
~Cackletta, The Fiercest Foe from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga starts~
It wasn't until a lightning bolt landed right in front of the four that they unfroze, making a single hop away from the blast. Once the lightning bolt vanished, the ghost of Beanish watch, Cackletta, stood where the bolt struck.
"WAAAAAAAAA! IT'S THE GHOST OF THAT UGLY WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST!" Wario screeched.
"WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU MISTAKE ME FOR THAT WRETCH?!" Cackletta roared.
"Yes! How dare the fools be the stupid, comparing a queen to a pickle that is of the anthropomorphized state?!" another voice replied. That's when the ghost of Fawful rose through the floor, standing alongside Cackletta. "You fools are in need of a schooling! A schooling of doom, with extra mustard!"
"Yes, you fools do need to be educated! I am the great Cackletta, and this is my assistant, Fawful!" Cackletta informed. "You have all trespassed on my old summer manor! And nobody sneaks onto our turf and gets away with it!"
"Nobody! So prepare for a demise that be of no other, for we have power! We have megalomania! We have... FURY! And I particular... I HAVE FURY THREE! THE ULTIMATE FURY!" Fawful added. While Falco shivered in fear, Wario, Waluigi, and Lucina got into battle stances, with the latter two pulling out their respective tennis racket and Parallel Falchion.
"You won't stop us! We can take you on!" Lucina shouted.
"EHEHEHEHEH! Morons!" Cackletta cackled.
"Indeed, you fools have IQ that is quite low! Do you still see with the eyes?! We are the intangibles! The beings that go through the things! The mans of the D that haunt the world! We! Are! Ghosts! Nothing, not even the weapons of legendary can bring the mustard of doom onto us!" Fawful informed the unscared trio.
~Cackletta, The Fiercest Foe stops~
And then there was silence. The only sounds that were heard within the room was the wind from outside and the chirping of a single cricket until Lucina finally screamed a single word.
~Danger Abounds! from the same game starts~
"RUN!"
The four trick-or-treaters split up even more, with Wario and Waluigi heading for the kitchen while Falco and Lucina made haste to the second floor.
"EHEHEHEHEH! Let's hunt these mortals down!" Cackletta snarled before the two ghosts also split up.
xXxXx
~Danger Abounds! stops~
Fog was forming within the graveyard during Duck Hunt Dog and Snake's trek through. Both looked around for any movement, yet, aside from the occasional leaf flying through the wind, occasional child on a sugar rush running around while destroying the graveyard, and several Clefairy pulverizing a Dry Bones, they saw nothing of interest.
"If this fog gets any thicker, I'm going to have trouble seeing much of anything," Snake muttered.
"Well, it's a good thing one of us has a decent sense of sight and smell," DHD teased. "Speaking of... time for a sniff..." Bending his head down, the dog tried to pick up any scent that might lead to Crazy. "Wait... I'm getting something."
"What is it? Candy? Crazy?"
"No... it kinda smells me... except dead inside. Well, more dead inside than usual." Snake turned around but found absolutely nothing other than a few graves and a Clefairy rapidly repairing the flying saucer.
"Uh... there's nothing there but some graves and the U.F.O," the soldier replied, making a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.
~Old Chateau starts again~
Once Snake turned around however, a dog-shaped creature with horns appeared behind him, its true form obscured by the fog. "I think your nose isn't working right."
"Um... look again," Duck Hunt nervously said. Snake turned back around, noticing the dog figure, now revealed to be a Houndoom, was standing right up to him.
"So... you two dare set foot in my graveyard..." the Dark Pokémon snarled.
~Old Chateau stops again~
"Well, I hate to break it to you, but I just ran out of candy, so I can't give you anything. My apologies," Houndoom calmly said. One of the Clefairy slid up to Houndoom before using the move Metronome, wagging her fingers.
~Mt. Dynamite Remix from Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast starts to play~
The power of Metronome allowed Clefairy to use the move Surf, instantly summoning a tidal wave heading straight for the two Smashers and Houndoom.
"SWEET MOTHER OF MEW!" Houndoom cried out. Snake leaped into Duck Hunt's arms, and Houndoom leaped into Snake's arms. With the other two technically in his grasp, DHD made a run from the rapidly approaching wave.
Meanwhile...
Wario and Waluigi sped right into the kitchen and quickly dove into the open refrigerator before closing it. Their fear and mostly the cold environment caused the two brothers to shiver like there was no tomorrow.
"I don't think they'll find us in here," Waluigi whispered while Cackletta came into the kitchen. The Beanish witch took a quick look around before assuming that they must have went outside by using the kitchen door. During Cacklett's sluggish approach to the kitchen door, something else moved within the fridge. Wario and Waluigi turned their heads, discovering a living Houndour drenched in ketchup with them.
"Oh, it's just a demon dog," Waluigi remarked. "I thought it was something worse, like-"
"I'm from the IRS," the IRS peach from Veggietales uttered, suddenly appearing on Wario's head. "And I've come to tax your-"
"WAAAAAAAAA! TAXES!" Wario shrieked. The brothers and Houndour jumped out of the fridge and bolted out of the kitchen, with IRS Peach chasing after them and Cackletta watching the fleeing weirdoes.
"AN IRS AGENT?! IN THIS WORLD?! IN MY MANOR?! HOW DID SUCH A DEMON GET IN HERE?!" Cackletta screeched.
xXxXx
"You managed to get in here without getting caught by those two ghosts?!" Lucina asked Crazy, hanging around in the upstairs bathroom along with Falco.
"Ghosts? What ghosts?" Crazy replied just seconds before Fawful phased through the door.
"AH! A HAND OF THE SIZE OF FAST FOOD THAT IS LARGE?! HOW'D THIS FINK RAT PERFORM THE SNEAKING PAST CACKLETTA AND FAWFUL?!" the Beanish ghost yelled. Falco and Lucina backed away while Crazy just sat there, allowing Fawful to slowly approach them. However, before the ghost could do anything to them, Crazy flew right in front of him, twitching like crazy.
"Heyyanewpalimcrazyhanddoyouwannaplaysomegameshowaboutweplayspongebobsquarepantsbattleforbikinibottomitsagreatgameyaddayaddayaddawakkawakkawakkayabbadabbadoo..." Crazy squealed, capturing Fawful's attention, giving Falco and Lucina the chance to escape. Once they sneaked out of the room, Crazy flew right through Fawful, ending the mediocre excuse of a conversation. "Wait guys! Don't leave me and our new friend behind!"
"ARGH! THE FINK RATS BE GOING THROUGH THE FAWFUL! THOSE CHEATERS SHALL SOON GET COVERED BY FAWFUL'S MAYO OF REVENGE, WITH EXTRA SIDE OF SALTINESS!" Fawful swore.
xXxXx
Up in the manor's attic was a lone Spinarak, who was crawling on an old skeleton, making a big web to catch some smaller creatures in. Suddenly, the attic door swung open, with the Spinarak's reaction to it being to hide in the dark corner. Crazy, Falco, and Lucina ran in, skidding to a halt the moment they got close to the end of the room.
~Mt. Dynamite Remix stops~
Before the trio could run right back out, Fawful entered, blocking their way again.
"Hohoho! The morons with the severe stupidity have been cornered into a corner that is quite inescapable!" the ghost chuckled, steadily approaching them again.
"Waa! Make way!" Wario screamed. The Wario Bros and Houndour ran in, sped their way through Fawful, and nearly knocked the other three over, barely coming to a stop. Once the new trio did stop, Cackletta rose through the floor, standing right next to Fawful.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! EVEN A GIANT HAND GOT IN WITHOUT US NOTICING?!" Cackletta roared. Anger started flowing through her intangible body, but she managed to cool down within a few seconds.

"Ah, forget that. All that matters is that we now have you six trapped. And I can deal with that living peach later."
"Peach?" Fawful questioned. "The princess with the fat pe-"
"No, a literal peach. We'll deal with that criminal later."
"A-a-and what do you p-p-p-plan on doing to us?!" Falco asked, shaking.
"Oh, nothing much. We only plan on EATING YOU ALL ALIVE!" Cackletta cackled.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Wario, Waluigi, Falco, and Lucina shrieked, screaming their lungs out while Crazy just sat on the floor and Houndour licked off the remaining ketchup of himself.
"No! Vore is disgusting!" the big hand stated. "At least that's what Snake told me."
~Planet's Paralysis stops as Boss Battle from Bomber Man 64 starts~
Suddenly, Houndour leaped ahead and used the move Bite on Cackletta, actually grabbing her arm due to the dark energy emitting from the Pokémon's teeth.
"WHAT THE GREAT DEMONS OF THE AFTERLIFE?! THIS THING'S GOT ME!" Cackletta cried out while Houndour began to shake the witch around.
"Fink rat mut! Unhand the great Cackletta or I will be making dogs that are quite hot out of you!" Fawful demanded. Wario tried to take a chomp out of Fawful, but unalike Houndour, his bite failed latch onto the Beanish nutcase.
"Waa, tastes like air," Wario remarked.
"That does the thing only known to man as it! I will consume the fink rats as though they were a buffet of disgustingness and cringe!" Fawful was about to bite Wario, but Houndour freed Cackletta so he could bite her pupil's arm instead. "PAIN! FAWFUL FEELS THE PAIN! CACKLETTA, PLEASE GIVE ASSISTAN-" That's when Houndour flung the small Beanish ghost out of his mouth, sending Fawful flying through the mansion walls.
~Boss Battle stops~
Soon enough, Fawful's ghost flew out of the mansion entirely, heading up to the cloudy skies above.
"I HAVE AGONYYYYYYYYyyyyy..." Fawful shrieked before flying out of sight, his disappearance signified by a twinkle in the sky. Master Hand, Lucario, Meta Knight, and Captain Falcon, already near the mansion, noticed Fawful's flight.
"Well, we're close to them now," Lucario groaned.

Sudden lightning bolts flashed around the mansion, and right after, the attic window flashed blue like the lightning bolts as well before shattering entirely.
"I've had it with you parasites!" Cackletta roared, several blue bolts striking the floor around her. "I will torment you mortals until your slow death arrives! You hear me?!"
"Yeah, we hear you," Crazy calmly pointed out.
"I! Will! TORMENT-"
~Time To Settle This! stops~
"I'm from the IRS," the IRS Peach repeated, appearing on Wario's head again. "And I've come to tax your-"
~Fantastical Feast from Fire Emblem Fates starts to play~
"AAAAUGH!" Everyone bar Crazy, Houndour, and the Spinarak shrieked.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Waluigi ordered. Everyone, even Cackletta, nodded before racing out of the attic and downstairs while IRS Peach chased by bouncing after them. The gang swiftly made it to the foyer, but the vile peach was just behind Falco, ready to tackle the space bird. However, after everyone else leaped outside, Cackletta stayed behind, shutting the doors with a mere snap of her fingers.
"I may despise the rest of the world, but no one deserves to face your wrath!" the Beanish ghost roared at her peachy foe.
~Fantastical Feast stops~
The noises between Cackletta and IRS Peach duking it out could be heard from the sidewalk the mansion was connected to. Speaking of the sidewalk, Wario, Waluigi, the rest of the trick-or-treaters, Houndour, and Houndoom were there, shivering in fear while Lucario, Master Hand, Meta Knight, and Captain Falcon stared at them.
