CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bringing in another chapter to the fanfic! Looks like we’ve hit a rock and a hard place with Yukiho tangled on the Bowser Space, for the Koopa King himself to choose an unexpected mini game right off the bat! Hope things go alright...
Oh yeah, disclaimer time: I do not own any of the Mario characters or the iDOLMASTER characters; the Mario characters belong to Nintendo and the iDOLMASTER characters belong to Namco Bandai. In addition, the characters “Reiji Arisu” and “Xiaomu” belong to Namco Bandai and Monolift Soft. Also, the character “Boshi” belongs to Nintendo and Square Enix. So with all that aside, let’s return to the springtime fun!
Oh, by the way, TheWolfBunny at DeviantArt gave the idea for the title of this chapter, so kudos!
*Opening Theme: “Other Side of Time” (The Legend of Heroes ~ Gagharv Trilogy)*
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 56
Yoshi’s Panel Attack Memories. Nobody Likes Being Flattened
*Yoshi’s Island ~ Floral Field Forest*
*Insert Theme: “Bowser Stage” (Mario Tennis)*
The puff of darkness created by Bowser’s wand upon him entering from the accidental activation of the Bowser Space by the hapless Yukiho was beginning to fade off after a few moments, revealing some unforeseen changes on the entire group due to the Koopa King’s mischief!
“WTF, WHAT THE FUZZLER!?!” Magikoopa yelped in a startled tone as his attire was changed to a ratty black variant of the robe his kind wears. (Whoo, smooth call on the swearing problem! I don’t need language problems as well!)
“Huh?” Yoshi wondered what the robed Koopa was blurting about until he noticed that he was wearing a spiky version of his red saddle. “WHAA!!”
“Oh, good-a grief!” Luigi groaned when he saw himself wearing black and red prisoner wear under a spiky Koopa shell and having spike wrist cuffs on his wrists. The younger Mario turned to his older brother, who is wearing the same clothes as his brother.
“What in da... BOWSA!” Mario froze in shock at what he is wearing as he angrily turned to the Koopa King, who pointed and laughed at the Mario Bros. “Hahaha, that’s a perfect look for you and your pants-soiling brother, Mario!”
“Hmmrrrghh...!” Mario pouted while crossing his arms, as did Luigi, grumbling and blushing all the way, but as the puff of darkness began to blow away from the four Idols did the brothers’ jaw really hit the floor.
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Awawawawa!” (Super Mario Galaxy 2)*
The Idols appear, ending up in Bowser icon-imprinted bikinis with fire symbols in their stage colors, while also wearing spiked wrist cuffs. (Man, what IS this, Bowser’s fashion sense??)
“Now what?” Ritsuko gritted her teeth before opening her eyes... to see herself in the bikini and quickly losing her temper. “WHAT THE *COIN* IS THIS WE'RE WEARING!?!?!”
“IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Iori and Yukiho scream, frantically covering themselves and blushing feverishly! (If Iori had a chance to call Bowser a pervert, NOW would be that chance...)
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Jill, Head for that House!” (Sonic: After the Sequel) (Man, does Falk make some good music!)
“Ano...” Ryou meekly spoke, which got Ritsuko’s attention as she turned to her cousin to see her in a leotard version with spiky armored shoulder pads.
“Am I the only one wearing this kind of thing or am I just lucky...?” Ryou asked Ritsuko, to which she was unable to give a satisfactory answer...
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Stop! Bowser Time” (Mario party 7)*
Bowser eyed at Ryou for a second with a suspicious gaz, wondering if there is something a little off about the Idol’s appearance, but decided to quietly shrug it off to continue with the twisted fun he wrought.
“Anyway, I'll get on with the rules. There are nine different colored Thwimps; Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Black and White. Four of each of these colors will be in different shapes you can rotate, you can reduce how many Thwimps you have in your space by lining them in a straight line to stay in this game. However, if your space is filled to the brim with Thwimps, you LOSE! And losers get THWOMP'D! By the way, my dear Idols, though I promised no harm would come to you, the Bowser events won't take any exceptions. So sorry, I mean you no malice... towards some of you...” Bowser explained the rules of his mini game, but then apologized, knowing his mini games will not hve any mercy. Done with the warning, the Koopa King shouted out. “Oh, one thing I have to mention- if you guys take too long to lose, the speed will increase every minute! Let's get this started!”
*End Theme, Insert Theme:
Within mere moments, eight vertical rectangles fall and slam into ground near the group.
“AAAHHH!” All eight contestants yelp before they lose their footing, and soon enough, the twisted mini game has begun!
The colored Thwimps slowly drop like block, causing the contestants to panic a bit as they try to keep on their toes. Reiji and Xiaomu watch the action unfold, with their weapons on the ready.
“Hey, aren't the rules of this game similar to something we've played before?” The Sage Fox wondered as she looked at her superior, whose clothes was also affected by Bowser’s magic as he is wearing the same prisoner garb Mario and Luigi are wearing presently, minus the spiky shell.
“Feels kind of familiar...” Reiji scratched his chin, trying to recollect the time he saw Xiaomu playing a game during their shift, also having one thing on his mind. “I wonder if I will get a chance to slice that overgrown turtle demon to bits...” After that, the Shinra agent imagined himself having a nice cup of coffee to the sight of Bowser’s head in his office mounted on the wall.
Xiaomu looked at herself in a moment to notice that Bowser’s magic had put her in the same bikini as the Idols, only her flame is a bright yellow color.... in the same shade as her hair and fox ears!
“Ne, Reiji... besides this gaudy design, doesn't a bikini make me look steamy?” Xiaomu, seizing her chance to flirt, did so, only for the man to press his palm on his face before turning to the seductive Sage Fox. “Are you asking for another pantless bare-bottom punishment?” (Oh, again Xiaomu?? Do you honestly like doing this sort of thing??)
“R-Reiji! Don't you think you've done enough of those pantless punishments to me?” Xiaomu yelped in panic, covering her butt in the process, to which the man stoically spoke. “Either I can go farther that and take out the paddle or switch or you can stop coming on to your boss.”
Xiaomu’s face turns red, knowing her superior is NEVER one to make a sorry joke, and presses her index fingers together, responding her answer. “Mmmmnn- okay, I'll stop.” She turned around and clenched her teeth in embarrassment. “Getting spanked naked is the last thing I wanted from him anyway..”
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Bowser / Thanatos” (Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon)*
The Drop Speed of the puzzle started at a normal pace as all eight contestants scramble to make combinations of a columns of Thwimps using the controls that just appeared in front of them. After a few minutes, neither contestant seemed to have any trouble as Thwimps disappeared left and right!
“Hmph, you guys are quite good. Guess I'll increase the Drop Speed a notch!” Bowser smirked as he did just that, causing the participants to panic a bit. Feeling uneasy of the “Thwomp” part of Bowser’s explanation, Makoto began to wonder in worry as she wanted to ask Producer-san. “Oi, does getting "Thwomp'd" mean what I think it means? Tell me just in case...!”
“Pfah! Well, I'll tell you...” Wario threw his arms before readying to explain, but Makoto was ready to snap at the chubby mischief maker. “I don't wanna hear from YOU!”
“Too bad. Bowsa simply means they're gonna' get flattened by a Thwomp!” Wario countered and simply spoke in a way the Idols would understand, which startled Haruka. “Huh?!”
“What's a Thwomp?” Yayoi asked in confusion, to which Wario moved aside and let Peach answer the young Idol’s question. “You see the Thwimps falling, right? Thwomps are five times larger than those!”
“You those little things are inferior to those?” Takane stiffened for a bit bit, but then the faill buzzer sounded all of a sudden.. and it sounded on Magikoopa’s end...
*Insert Jingle: “Miss” (Mario Party 3)*
“NO!!! The thing's full!” Magikoopa panicked as he began to sweat buckets, until a looming sound began to descend upon him... the sound of a falling Thwomp falling direct at him!!
*THWOMP!!!*
“GWAAAAAAAaaaaaahhh...!” Magikoopa screamed as the Thwomp made a clean hit, grunted and raised itself upwards, to reveal the Koopa mage all wafer thin as he was gently blown away, even scaring the Idols. “AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”
“Ooohhh, he's gonna' feel that all day!” Waluigi smirked with a wink as Eri reached to catch the flattened mage. Yukiho, distracted a bit returnred to her part... to realize that she is running out off room! The poor Idol could not help but freak out in panic. “HWAH! Oh NONONO NOOOOO!”
“Don't panic, Yukiho! Stay focused!” Luigi, still paying attention surprisingly, called out to calm the frightened Idol down, to no effect as the Idol kept losing control of her nerves. “Oh no, oh no oh no oh no oh no—“
*Insert Jingle: “Miss” (Mario Party 3)*
“NOOOO!!!” The poor Idol screamed, but then looked up to see the Thwomp ready to flatten her. Before she even had a second to quickly pull out her Diamond Shovel...
*THWOMP!!!!*
“IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Yukiho screamed as she was flattened by the Thwomp, unable to escape.
“OHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Daisy screamed for her friend and covered her eyes, as did Producer-san. “I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE!”
“YUKIHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” Makoto yelped in fear for her best friend as she ran toward the area. The incident was enough to even distract Ritsuko as she too turned to the location of where she was. “NO!” ..However, the distraction proved to bhe her undoing as her own panel was too filled as well!
*Insert Jingle: “Miss” (Mario Party 3)*
Realizing her sudden blunder, the young producer’s pupils began to shrink as she too saw the Thwomp ready to smash her. “Oh—“
*THWOMP!!!*
“DWAAAAUGH!!!” Ritsuko screamed as the Thwomp smashed her as well, enough this time for the meddlesome Koopa King to flinch and grimace at the sight. “Grrr'oohhhh, that's gotta smart bad!” Fortunately, he had a sigh of thought in mind. “Thankfully, they're not dead..”
“Gwah... Wh... Why am I not... dead? This... oogh... doesn't make sense...!” Ritsuko groaned as she struggled to get on her feet... or at least her knees, as she held her know broken eyeglasses. (Thankfully, she let Producer-san hold a spare pair...)
“S... Someone... tasukete...” Yukiho’s voice came out in a muffled tone under a now blushing Thwomp, who decided, for mercy’s sake, to lift itself up and leave.
“They're... They're squished but they survived?!” Reiji stood wide eyed at the sudden miracle of having no casualties from being flattened by the heavy stone creatures. Benjamin stared at the Shinra agent in the eyes and retorted. “Well, what the MeeM do you expect from an E-rated game?" (E for Everyone!) As if by coincidence, a cardboard medic known as the “MeeM” popped out of the bush and chirped before quickly diving back in. Reiji and Benjamin, quickly responsive, turned to the bush and saw nothing. Unable to see anything out of the ordinary in the small foliage, the two could only shrug.
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Bowser (X) / Thanatos (X)” (Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon)*
Realizing that two minutes have passed since the first speed up to the Drop Speed, Bowser decided to do one thing. “It's been two minutes now. Let's turn it up again!” And so, the Drop Speed increased even further, putting quite the workout to the remaining contestants!
“Leaping lasagna, It's-a going faster!” Luigi yelped before noticing this panel getting overfilled with Thwimps. “Drats...”
*THWOMP!!*
...And sure enough, Luigi was flattened. “YOW!!!”
AS if Luigi wasn’t the only one who had trouble, Ryou too had mess ups when her panel filled up. “Aw no.. *THWOMP!!* BWUAGH!!!”
Sadly, Mario had reached his peak with the manicial puzzle, as he face looked strained and covered with sweat trying to keep the Thwimps from reaching the top... but failed.
“Darnit, Bowsa... *THWOMP* D'OH...!” Sure enough... Mario was the last to become flattened as the buzzer rang, signaling the end of the event.
*End Theme*
*Insert Jingle: “Too Bad” (Super Mario Sunshine)*
“Too bad, GAME OVER! BWA HA HA HA! I love saying that!” Bowser laughed as his min game ended. With that, the Thwomps rise once more and vanish. All of Team Mario’s contestants were flat as pancakes. Bowser walked to the flattened Mario as he snickered and snorted. “You're looking even MORE better-looking, Mario!” The comment left the flattened hero to grumble.
Wario, happy that he won’t become Flat Wario from the Thwomps, happily whispered into Waluigi’s ear. “Indeed, Goody-two-shoes Mario AND Glasses look good as pancakes!”
“Kehehehe... Don't forget Luigi and bob-hair over there, but Miss Priss got lucky!” Waluigi whispered back, showing his disdain on how Iori managed to get through all that. Bowser, satisfied with what he saw, gave the announcement. “Grrhem! And so, the winner on Team Mario's side is Yoshi and on the Idol Team- Iori!”
*Insert Theme:: “Bowser Space” (Mario Party 3)*
“How... How did I do... ...?” Yoshi quietly asked Iori in a tired out tone, to which she was still trying to catch her breath. “I think... my heart stopped on some beats... That beastly... slimy...”
Seizing the chance, Ai and Eri run to Ryou and pick her up by the arms. “Are you okay, Ryou-san?” Ai asked in worry for her friend, who rubbed her head. “Hurts like I lived under a rock, but I'm still alive, Ai-chan...”
Azusa then took her time to pick Ritsuko up with a smile. “Dear me, you seem pretty lucky- to be alive, if you don't get my meaning.” Ritsuko, being hefted to Producer-san by the wayward Idol, gritted her teeth with one thought in mind. “When... I get... MY HANDS...”
“Yukiho!” Makoto shouted as shemade it the injured Idol and knelt down by her side. Yukiho sadly looked up to her best friend with a sniveling pitiful face, feeling that she was to blame for this mess. Makoto quietly comforted her dear friend and hugged her without comment.
“And now, FOR THE BOUNTY!” Bowser announced as he raised his bwand, conjuring dark lightning that hit the participant, but only took the Coins without any more physical damage. Mario’s Coins, as well as Luigi’s went straight to Yoshi. “Take care of my coins, Yoshi...” Mario implied to his dino pal, as did Luigi. “Mine, too...”
“So 10 of my coins go the winner, huh...?” Ritsuko wondered as her Coins levitated to Iori’s hands, as was Ryou’s when he gave comment. “Yeah. Same here. But...”
“+41$ 5UX!1! (This sucks!!)” Magikoopa stomped his foot angrily, while Yukiho looked very crestfallen, feeling very ashamed of herself as twenty of her Coins, as well as the mage, went straight into Bowser’s bag, enough for the evil king to laugh gleefully. He then turned to the group with a final announcement on his space. “Again, I'm sorry you Idols had to go and have a rough experience in this though I promised I wouldn't, but as I said, even for guests, the Bowser Events make no exceptions. Well, I hope you all enjoyed the Bowser Event! I'll see you guys again in the next one! GWA HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!” With that, Bowser raised his wand to turn back into black mist before disappearing within the Bowser Space along with the platform, pretty much leaving everyone speechless. Fortunately, for everyone, the dark magic faded, returning all of Team Mario in their flowered up versions of their clothes and the Idols back in their Vital Sunflower outfits. As for Reiji and Xiaomu, they were reverted back to their Shinra uniforms, much to the Sage Fox’s disappointment.
*End Theme*
*Insert Sound Effect: “Cricket Chirp*
Deciding to end the silence from feeling a slight rumble from his stomach Wario asked Waluigi one thing. “Well... it's a good thing I wasn't playing in this event. 'Ey, Waluigi, wanna find some grub?”
“Why not? I could use a bite after looking like a Koopa Kingdom Inmate.” Waluigi smiled, and with that, the two miscreants quietly excuse themselves to find some food. Unfortunately, things are not so quiet for the rest of the group as the Bowser Event had left some of the trees ablaze!
*Insert Theme: “Danger!” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
“OH NO! Some of the fire from earlier has lit some of the trees ablaze!” Moyoshi shouted in an alert tone, which was enough for Daisy to smack her own face. “Oh, GOOD GRIEF, BOWSER!!!”
“Someone help me get some water!” The purple veteran Yoshi called out to the brethren for help with the flames. Benjamin, readying his powers, shouted out. “Hey, I'm helping, too!"”
“Yukiho, let's get away from these flames before they get bigger!” Makoto spoke as she heaved her friend on her back the same way she did with Iori once and ran. The saddened Idol shed a few tears before quietly muttering one word. “Gomenasaii...”
“... Yukiho?” Makoto looked at her saddened friend with worry...
*End Theme*
Aw man, do I hate the Bowser Space. The only good you’d from this is if the one who stepped on it has nothing in possession... NOTHING! With the threat of the Bowser Space subsided, will Team Mario and the Idols get fixed up in time to continue? And what about Yukiho? Will SHE be okay after all that had just happened? Find out next chapter!

“Yukiho!” Makoto shouted as shemade it the injured Idol and knelt down by her side. Yukiho sadly looked up to her best friend with a sniveling pitiful face, feeling that she was to blame for this mess. Makoto quietly comforted her dear friend and hugged her without comment.
“And now, FOR THE BOUNTY!” Bowser announced as he raised his bwand, conjuring dark lightning that hit the participant, but only took the Coins without any more physical damage. Mario’s Coins, as well as Luigi’s went straight to Yoshi. “Take care of my coins, Yoshi...” Mario implied to his dino pal, as did Luigi. “Mine, too...”
“So 10 of my coins go the winner, huh...?” Ritsuko wondered as her Coins levitated to Iori’s hands, as was Ryou’s when he gave comment. “Yeah. Same here. But...”
“+41$ 5UX!1! (This sucks!!)” Magikoopa stomped his foot angrily, while Yukiho looked very crestfallen, feeling very ashamed of herself as twenty of her Coins, as well as the mage, went straight into Bowser’s bag, enough for the evil king to laugh gleefully. He then turned to the group with a final announcement on his space. “Again, I'm sorry you Idols had to go and have a rough experience in this though I promised I wouldn't, but as I said, even for guests, the Bowser Events make no exceptions. Well, I hope you all enjoyed the Bowser Event! I'll see you guys again in the next one! GWA HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!” With that, Bowser raised his wand to turn back into black mist before disappearing within the Bowser Space along with the platform, pretty much leaving everyone speechless. Fortunately, for everyone, the dark magic faded, returning all of Team Mario in their flowered up versions of their clothes and the Idols back in their Vital Sunflower outfits. As for Reiji and Xiaomu, they were reverted back to their Shinra uniforms, much to the Sage Fox’s disappointment.

*Insert Sound Effect: “Cricket Chirp*
Deciding to end the silence from feeling a slight rumble from his stomach Wario asked Waluigi one thing. “Well... it's a good thing I wasn't playing in this event. 'Ey, Waluigi, wanna find some grub?”
“Why not? I could use a bite after looking like a Koopa Kingdom Inmate.” Waluigi smiled, and with that, the two miscreants quietly excuse themselves to find some food. Unfortunately, things are not so quiet for the rest of the group as the Bowser Event had left some of the trees ablaze!
*Insert Theme: “Danger!” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
“OH NO! Some of the fire from earlier has lit some of the trees ablaze!” Moyoshi shouted in an alert tone, which was enough for Daisy to smack her own face. “Oh, GOOD GRIEF, BOWSER!!!”
“Someone help me get some water!” The purple veteran Yoshi called out to the brethren for help with the flames. Benjamin, readying his powers, shouted out. “Hey, I'm helping, too!"”
“Yukiho, let's get away from these flames before they get bigger!” Makoto spoke as she heaved her friend on her back the same way she did with Iori once and ran. The saddened Idol shed a few tears before quietly muttering one word. “Gomenasaii...”
“... Yukiho?” Makoto looked at her saddened friend with worry...

Aw man, do I hate the Bowser Space. The only good you’d from this is if the one who stepped on it has nothing in possession... NOTHING! With the threat of the Bowser Space subsided, will Team Mario and the Idols get fixed up in time to continue? And what about Yukiho? Will SHE be okay after all that had just happened?
