Tripping on the Way
Written by Henry Banks
Animated by :iconearthgwee:
Directed by Henry Banks

Narrator: Today we join the Mario crew as they decide on how they’re each getting to the resort town of Peel Herman. The result of them winning nine tickets from the lottery.

Zoom in Peach’s Castle, where the main couples. (Mario x Peach, Luigi x Daisy, Yoshi x  Birdo, Toad x Toadette), plus Starlow, are talking about the tickets

Mario: Okay, so we only have two tickets for each mode of transport.

Peach: Where did you get these anyway?

Luigi: We won the lottery, that’s how.

Peach: Well, how many of us are going.

Mario: It says here all transportation is already paid for six of us. The only problem is who’ll get to go.

Yoshi: (who had been reading a book the whole time) What do you mean?

Birdo: Weren’t you paying attention?! We only have 6 tickets for each couple.

Toad: Don’t worry about us, folks. Toadette and I are taking our own car.

All except Toadette: What?

Toadette: You heard him. We’re going to go on a road trip.

Mario: But-

Toad: You frankly could use one yourself.

Mario: OK. That just leaves the rest of us to get places.

Narrator: Then next day, everyone is ready to go.

Toad and Toadette prepare to get in their car. Starlow comes.

Toad: Oh, Starlow. You want to come?

Starlow: Yup.

Toadette: Good girl, hope on in.

Toad: You got the map?

Toadette: Right, here sweetie.

Toad: Good. Has anyone got the water bottle?

Starlow: I have some.

Toad: Good, let’s go.

Soon, they are driving, a montage of them stopping at various landmarks is shown. They are later on the open road as rain comes in.

Toadette: Maybe we should play music.

Toad turns on the radio. Only for loud rock to blast out. He turns it off.

Starlow: (snarky) Or maybe not.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Mario and Peach are on Peach’s private plane. You know from Mario Sunshine.

Peach: Is everyone ready?

Pilot (offscreen): Ready for takeoff, Princess Peach.

The plane takes off. And is later soaring above the sky when a storm brews in.

Pilot: Gee I think I better land somewhere.

Suddenly, lightning strikes the plane.

Pilot: Mayday! Mayday!

Peach: Uh oh.

Mario: Don’t tell me we’re

Pilot: About to crash!

Peach: Exactly.

The plane crashes into a barn, where all sorts of animals look on.

Peach: (to pilot) Why didn’t you land when things first turned bad?

Pilot: I didn’t think.

Mario: You never do. Come on Peach.

Peach: With pleasure.

Narrator: At any rate. The trio gets to the nearest airport and board a normal plane.

Peach: Well. I can only hope the pilot knows better than our last one.

Pilot: I’m very sorry, Princess.

Mario: Yeah, yeah.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Yoshi and Birdo are on a bus through the same storm.

Birdo: We’ve got 230 miles until our stop, Yoshi.

Yoshi: Good, Catherine.

Birdo: Don’t call me that.

Yoshi: Sorry, my mistake.

Bus driver: Geez. This fog is like an atom bomb went off.

Suddenly, the bus goes off the road and into trees.

Birdo: What happened?

The driver stands up.

Bus driver: Well, folk, I’m ‘fraid we’ll have to spend the night in a hotel.

Yoshi: Come on, Birdo.

Both find a hotel near the wreck and enter. Shocked to find Mario and Peach.

Yoshi: Mario?

Mario: Hi.

Birdo: Why are you here too?

Peach: The storm. Nuff said?

Birdo: Nuf said.

The clerk comes up, speaking in an annoying voice.

Clerk: YES??????????????!

Mario: We need a double room.

Clerk: OKAYYY, HERE’S THE KEY!

Yoshi follows Mario.

Birdo: Thanks.

Peach: No problem.

They enter the room. Only to find a big wasp nest in it.

Mario: Oh, crap.

Narrator: Luigi and Daisy, on the other hand, are enjoying their train trip in splendor.

The rain goes on as we cut to Luigi and Daisy on their train. Going through a river gorge.

Daisy: I wonder how Mario and Peach are doing.

Luigi: Knowing airplanes. I guess they’re already there.

Daisy: I suppose.

The train, pulled by an engine based on this one (c1.staticflickr.com/9/8052/837…) runs by the river, on a three track line. But the river ends up eroding part of the track bed on the track that the train is on. Which the engineer, a human like the fireman, sees.

Engineer: Hey, Ward!

Ward (the fireman): What, Ollie?

Ollie: The track bed’s gone!

Ward rushes to his controls. But it’s too late, the engine reaches the track bed, and tilts on one side before derailing into the river. Back on the train. Luigi and Daisy are suddenly shocked. The conductor passes.

Luigi: What happened?

Conductor: The engine derailed into the river cause of the trackbed. So we’ve got another engine to pull us back to the junction and then another to take us the rest of the way.

Daisy: Where’s the last junction.

Conductor: 2½ hours away.

Daisy: great.

Narrator: A few hours later, a little engine (based on www.lafterhall.com/osw09_023.j… ) pulls the train back to the last junction.

A big engine (based on www.steamlocomotive.com/texas/… ) pulls the track back through the river side on the third track.

Luigi (looking out): Hey look. It’s the original engine.

Daisy: I don’t care..

The next day, Toad, Toadette and Starlow are finally at the hotel. They are singing “Yellow Submarine” happily as they come in. Where they see the others.

Toadette: So guys, how did you enjoy your trips?

Cut to the other six looking tired and miserable.

Mario: Just get your swimsuit on.

A little later. Everyone is on the beach. While Peach is sunbathing, Mario comes up.

Luigi: Felling better Peach?

Peach: Only a little. After all we went through. Just don’t mention the motel.

Toad suddenly splashes them both with water.

Toad: (teasingly): Come in, you guys, we didn’t put acid in the water!

Peach slowly, but surely begins to laugh, and runs out to play with Toad and the others. With Mario running behind.

Narrator: At last, the lesson is learned...

Suddenly the Narrator suffers a heart attack.

Narrator: (in pain) My lesson is not to eat too much KFC.
One day, Mario wins 8 tickets to a trick in Peel Herman. Toad, Toadette, and Starlow go in a car. Mario and Peach by plane. Yoshi and Birdo by bus. And Luigi and Daisy dy train.

Mario and Peach are in the latter's plane when it crashes. So they have to go to a hotel for the night. They meet Yoshi and Birdo, whose bus crashed. Luigi and Dais are delayed when their train derails.

Eventually, everyone arrives. But everyone except Toad, Toadette, and Starlow i unhappy.

Later, Peach is still unhappy. But cheers up after Toad splashes water in her. Which makes her go out and play with them.
