Episode 25: It's called random for a reason
"Right, so since this is a random torture, I'll give you minigames from the Mario Party series that involve luck only!"
The group collectively groans. Random minigames are the root of all evil to most. Random torture indeed!
"Lessee...the group of tortures...Luigi, Yoshi, Mario, and...what do you mean YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER MARIO CHARACTER IN THE PARTY!?!"
Tails shrugs. "We mean we don't have another Mario character in the party, tough luck."
Pichu whispers to Tails, "Pppi chuchupi pichupi chupi...(You've got a lot of nerve taking on that big scary guy...)"
"Eh, once he steps out of his Mario Party role to attack me for insulting him, he reverts to a moron, big deal."
"Piiichu chu pipip chu...(Still, a big scary moron...)"
Bowser roars again to get the groups attention. "Since you losers don't even have 4 Mario characters in your group, I'll just choose one by the power of roulette wheel!" He raises his hands and a roulette wheel (Mario Party style) appears on the screen, scrolling through a few names and eventually selecting Syaoran as the lucky fourth contestant.
*Woot, go me...*
"OK, now that we've gotten our four lucky people, it's off to the first game!"
Yoshi raises his hand. "Question." he states.
"What is it!?!"
"Uh, where's Mario? I see Luigi and Syaoran here, but no Mario. Cause he's like, captive on your ship or something?"
Bowser slaps his head. "Augh! I forgot Mario!" He pulls a communicator out of the-invisible-item-pocket. "You guys!" he yells into it. "Where the heck is Mario!?"
There is some static, following by a faint "Holy crap! A coherent sentence from Bowser!" in the background, then Ganondorf's voice answers back, "Uh, whoops, our mistake. Here he comes!"
A funny warping sound fills the air, and a cage with Mario in it falls from the sky onto Bowser's head. He mutters some unintelligable curses, then turns back to the group of heroes. "OK! Here we go! First minigame!"
MINIGAME 1: Scaldin' Cauldron from Mario Party 5
"Right, for the uniformed, there are three cauldrons." Bowser explains. "I leave for 5 game seconds, you guys can divvy up into whatever cauldrons you like. I come back, breathe fire into 2 cauldrons, etcetera etcetera. Enjoy!" he then turns around and shuts the door.
Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi turn and jump into cauldron 1, and Syaoran takes cauldron 3.
After about half a second of sitting around squished in the cauldron, Yoshi pops his head out of cauldron 1 and shouts to Syaoran, "Hey, you should come sit with us here. If we take 2 out of 3 cauldrons, and Bowser roasts 2 out of three, then one of us is guaranteed to be burnt toast. Likely you, because I doubt the author would kill more than one character per episode.
Syaoran shrugs. *I'm willing to take that chance.*
Yoshi opens his mouth, but Luigi pulls him down, hissing "Bowser-a's coming!"
Bowser thinks aloud. "I heard noise from cauldron 1 and 3, so using the process of tricircubeulation, they must be in...number 2!" He roasts number 2. Miss, zero score.
Bowser stomps on the floor, causing a mini-earthquake. "Man! They're good! Faking me out! Well, hmm...3's a charm, I guess." Bowser breathes fire on cauldron 3.
The 3 Mario peoples in cauldron 1 hold their breath. Then, about 30 seconds later, they gasp for air, coughing.
Bowser, while still breathing fire on cauldron 3, says to cauldron 1, "Just hold on their a sec, ok? It takes a while for sword guys to cook. You gotta get the flavor just right, you know?"
"That is so sick, even for me." Yoshi gags.
