The 'Shroom:Issue LIX/Fake News

Fake News

Editorial
Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Fake News! There's not too much else to say here, but, since I was running out of ideas for the Fake TV section, I've decided I won't write that every month. Instead, since, as the director, I can, I'll vary a little bit in the Fake News sections I write. Expect to see some different sections from me, from here on.

Anyway, yeah, there's not much to say in this editorial. No firings or whatnot. Congrats to SMB for winning the Director Election again. Enjoy the section, because it's a lot better than last month's!

Winner of Miss Toad Town 2012 Announced

Every year, Toad Town holds a contest for the most attractive girl in the town, and, this year, the winner is Toadette! Last night, as the contest reached its final stage, Chuck Quizmo announced her as the winner.

The basis of the contest is judging the girls on how beautiful they look, and what nice people they are. Many girls enter the contest every year, and the contest is, usually, very difficult, as the girls in the contest are all very beautiful. This year, there was a shock entry, from Tayce T., a local chef. She was much older than the other contestants, but...well, she cooks nice things. Princess Peach, who had entered the contest a couple of times in past years, was on the judging panel this year, as were Toadsworth, Mario and Yellow Toad. In the end, Princess Peach and Toadsworth gave Toadette 9/10, while Mario gave her 8/10 and Yellow Toad, 10/10. This was just enough to put her into the lead, and, overall, win the competition.

"The girls were very beautiful." said a nearby Koopa Troopa. "I'm happy for the winner, I thought she should have won." "My brother was on the judging panel!" the Green Toad said, "He's in love with Toadette, but that's a secret, so don't tell anybody." "I was too small to see the stage. I just came for the popcorn." admitted a Puni, before the Puni Elder dragged him off for a lecture. We had to evacuate the scene quickly. "Hi mom, I'm on TV!" Luigi told us. We had to cut the scene out of the TV report due to time constraints.

All in all, it was a fantastic contest, probably the best Toad Town has ever seen. Thanks for reading, and look forward to next year's contest!

Welcome everyone to the Fake Interview! Your host – Baby Mario Bloops – here to scoop unexpected characters you all adore into an interview! No really, there’s great ice cream with scoops in the back stage area, and what Mario character doesn’t like fire-flower-flavored ice cream?

Well, before I bore you all with my ranting, let’s give a warm welcome to our interviewee. Just don’t make too warm because this character likes to live in the dark, damn comfort of a pipe! Come on out Piranha Plant!

BMB: …shoot, I forgot. Someone tow the pipe into the room!

Worker: On it!

BMB: …well, while we are waiting, how was everyone’s Valentine ’s Day? Sure hope no was lonely…okay, here they come!

Piranha Plant: Hey, be careful with that! This brick green Pipe 2009 cost me a lot of money to buy!

BMB: Welcome Piranha Plant. May we begin?

Piranha Plant: Whatever, can we move this one? There’s a plumber out there, and I don’t want to dilly-dally and not chomp at him.

BMB: Okay then…let’s see…ah yes. Where does the Piranha in your name come from? Obviously you’re not a Piranha.

Piranha Plant: You dimwit! I’m a piranha, but not the little chaotic fish out in the sea! I’m a Piranha Plant, P. L. A. N. T!

BMB: Geez, you don’t have to get all upset. Moving on…are you related to other similar species, such as Venus Fire Trap, or Ptooie?

Piranha Plant: Are you talking about my cousins? Yeah, sometimes hanging out with them can be a pain. I bite while they shoot fire or spit out spikes. Never want to be around one when they have a tantrum.

BMB: I’ll…I’ll keep that in mind. What’s the joy of living in a pipe?

Piranha Plant: What’s the joy of living in a house? It’s my home, you idiot! This pipe has supported me when Fireballs fire at me, invincible plumbers run by, or even when other enemies want to evade. I even raised a family and saw them depart to other pipes while here.

BMB: Aw…that’s very touching.

Piranha Plant: Yeah, it’s a great story and all, but not as good as when I was attacked by the Plumbers.

BMB: Mario and Luigi?

Piranha Plant: Are you going to let me speak?

BMB: Sorry.

Piranha Plant: Okay. So, there I was in my pipe in World 4 when those brats were jumping on through the level. They had that overconfident smirk in their Fire Flower power-up, bowling Koopa shells into Goomba’s and destroying bricks.

BMB: That sounds exciting!

Piranha Plant: Are you going to keep interrupting?

BMB: I’m the one doing the inter-whatever, I’ll shut up.

Piranha Plant: …Well, as I was saying, they were coming at me fast. I was very nervous, unsure if I could make Bowser proud of me. They were ready to attack me with a fireball, but thankfully I ducked in time. As they hopped onto my pipe, I sprung up, and de-leveled them back to normal!

BMB: …Is that it?

Piranha Plant: Basically-oh wait, forgot something. Boss was so proud of me that he moved me from World 4 all the way to World 5! Those promotions are unheard of! Shows how powerful I am!

BMB: Well, that was very interesting. Anything else as we begin to end our interview?

Piranha Plant: Oh shoot, I need to get back to World 5! DARN IT, EITHER SOME TOWS ME BACK TO WORLD 5 OR ELSE I’M EAT YOU ALL!

Worker: I don’t get paid enough for this job.

BMB: You all don’t get paid for complaining either, so hurry before I’ll personally make you pay for all the liabilities I have if he goes rampant.

Worker: Yes, sir…

BMB: Well, with that, I’ll see you all next month, and I hope you enjoy the rest of February!

Hey, everyone, MrConcreteDonkey here. I've decided to write Fake Shop this month, so, about a week ago, I went to Wario's Totally Legal Treasure Shop. A completely legal, non-law breaking shop that sells completely legal, non-law breaking treasure. Please remember this.

So, what stock does this shop have?



Wario has a story behind every piece of his stock. He claims to have been a treasure hunter up until recently, and, apparently, cheated death to get these "rare treasures", each of them, for some reason, being retrieved from the same, generic Egyptian pharaoh or whatever at the exact same time. This is obviously not a coincidence, and this brave man deserves a lot of credit for his many achievements. The shop is located...well, apparently I can't tell you where it is, because Wario is a very ille– I mean, a very shy man, who dislikes company. Seriously, throughout this interview, he's been hiding under the desk well, at least one of us is... . The shop prefers to stay underground, so just keep walking around the sewers and you might find it, or, who knows...maybe it will find you?

Thanks for reading, and remember, Wario for President 2012.

Oh hey, this is late so I better get this in before MCD yells at me. I don’t like when MCD’s mad. Anyway, let’s get on with it.

Hypnotoad inquires: I am absolutely terrible with both Ness and Lucas. I can’t give you a specific type of character, but I can give you a top 5. Falco, King Dedede, Marth, Wario, and Samus. I didn’t include Meta Knight because everyone’s good with him.
 * What type of character do you like to use in Smash Bros. games (assuming you play those) and why? I'm fond of characters like Lucas and Ness, as well as some other lightweight characters since they're much easier to control.

Super Nintendo, definitely. It had Mega Man X, Super Metroid, F-Zero, Yoshi’s Island, Killer Instinct, and more. So much greatness.
 * What's your favorite game console?

Over. Under just looks funny to me.
 * Toilet paper, the great debate. Over or under?

LuigiNo.1 inquires: Eenope. I’ve never been much on Zelda, sorry. Come back if you want to talk Metroid, though.
 * Have you played Skyward Sword? If so, how far have you reached?

I saved the hardest for last. Tulaash inquires: I had to make a thread on the forum for this since it was so effing difficult to pick just one. After much soul searching, meditation, and nerding out to video game music for a week, I have ultimately decided on the “Big Blue (Decide in the Eyes)” track from F-Zero X. It’ll probably change by next week, though.
 * What is your favorite video game song ever?

* witty outro*
