(This thread should be stickied.)

Hello, friends and Mario fans. As you may have probably guessed, I am a natural writer. As such, I must constantly be exercising my mind creatively to stay sane, be it Rom hacking, making sprite-comics, posting here, or... you guessed it, writing. It was a Saturday afternoon, and I felt that irresistable urge to write again. That's when a brilliant idea came to my mind, one that will allow me to write creatively every other weekend. That is what I am about to introduce to you... Ladies and gentleman, I give you the SMB3 vs. SMB2 Arena!

What is the SMB3 vs. SMB2 Arena, you ask? It's a battle arena for Mario creatures to duke it out. Every 2 weeks, a battle will take place here, but 2 weeks before that battle you will get to see what it looks like. The fighters will come out, the setting will be determined, then you all have 2 weeks to choose the team you want to win. Keep in mind the items each team carries, how the terrain will affect the characters and their fighting styles, the size of the field, and each team's advantages/disadvantages. Note that the fight will be predetermined, it won't be biased on the number of votes each team receives.

And after 2 weeks, I'll write you guys the battle, and you'll get to see who wins. Then the next battle's fighters and arena will be set for the next battle 2 weeks from now. This way, I can stay on top of things through creative writing, and you'll benefit from it as you'll have a lot of fun stories to read!

So what's the purpose of choosing the winning team correctly? Good question, so I'll throw in the added bonus of allowing bets to take place. Anyone who wants to bet coins on a team for the first time will start with 100 coins... You can bet any number of coins on a fighting team (except decimal numbers, of course), and if your team wins, you'll get more coins back. (In every battle I'll say how much times correct bets will be multiplied.) If the team loses, no coins are given back. Once you're out of coins, you can't bet any more, UNLESS someone else chooses to give you coins, which is perfectly legal.

Hey, this is coming along pretty good! But we haven't even started yet. I'll now post the first Battle...



In the red (left) corner: Porcu-Power! Three Porcupo with one Mushroom to share amongst themselves. (Yes, items are 1-time uses, don't forget.)

In the blue (right) corner: The Buster Bros.! Three Buster Beetles with a total of 3 White Blocks. Remember, they THROW the White Blocks.

As you can see, the red corner consists of SMB2 enemies, and the blue corner consists of SMB3 enemies. This will always be the case.

So, friends, you have the following 2 weeks to post in this thread your vote on the team you want to win. Remember, betting is OPTIONAL, and all new betters begin with 100 coins.

Last note: This is basically role-playing we're talking about, and likewise the fighters are NOT just limited to their functions in the video-games. Keep that in mind before voting, will ya?

So, vote away! Any further questions I will be only too happy to answer to.

Buster Beetles all the way. The Porcupo only have mushrooms. One swipe from a throw block and they will all be wiped out

I'm tempted to say The Buster Bros., but I'm going to bet on Porcu-Power.

To HFRyan: Just to clarify... One hit from a White Block would PROBABLY not wipe out a Porcupo in one hit. In these battles, the characters fight more realistically than the video-game, in fact their laws of physics are very different from those in the games. Remember that!

Porcu-Power - 1 vote

Buster Beetles.

They each have their own ice block to throw, at their pick of the 3 Porcu-Powers, thus they can take them all out.

Buster Beetles, easily.

FYI, about an hour ago I finished writing the battle. I can't say to any of you who won, but I can guarantee that I never decide the winner ahead of time; I write one thing, that leads to something else, which in turn leads to something else... The winner chooses itself.

I would say 1 week, but every other weekend I go to my Dad's house, and the other weekends I'm at my Mom's house... Dad has Internet, Mom has none. On rare occasions, when I get to be with Dad an extra week, I'll post the results early. But I thnak you all for your patience.

P.S. Peardian, those were EXCELLENT pictures of Mario enemies you drew in the Modern Art forum. You're unbelievably talented.

I will vote for the Porcupos.

Think about it. One of the Porcupos has a mushroom. Can an Ice Block defeat a "powered-up" Porcupo as easuly as it can beat a regular one?

How much HP they have

Vote for Porcu-Power -> the Buster Bros have only 3 blocks to throw & they can be killed by jumping on them , the Porcupos have a mushroom & can't be killed by jumping on them -> If the Buster Bros lose their ammo , they can't attack.

Keep in mind one Ice Block can travel through a Porcupos, and hit the others in row. And if ones big, it would probably only take two thrown Ice Blocks to take it down.

You have to think about these things.

To BabyBowser: HP is out of the question. If Porcupo existed in real life, how much punishment do you think they could take?

To Darth Xeodious: I know I've said this before-- Video game physics are OUT! A White Block wouldn't travel through the other Porcuop like in the game... In these battles, getting hit with a White Block would be the equivelent of getting smacked with a huge brick in real life. That would probably seriously injure a human, but a Porcupo, being slightly protected with their spiked fur, wouldn't suffer THAT bad, but still the White Block is a pretty powerful weapon in the Mario universe.

You want stats? Fine, here you go. 5 stars is highest level, 1 star is lowest.

Porcu-Power:
-Porcupo-
Attack Power- * * * *
Defense- * * *
Speed- * * * *
Air- * * *

Buster Bros.:
-Buster Beetle-
Attack Power- * * * *
Defense- * * * *
Speed- * * *
Air- * *

Attack Power is individual offensive capabilities WITHOUT the use of items, by the way.

Thanks, Schwa.

Porcu-Power clearly has an advantage. Besides, what if the Buster Bros. miss?

Well then according to your "Stats", Porcupo's clearly have the advantage.

Uh-oh, wait a sec...

Xeodious, the stats don't tell you EVERYthing... Some of it's their individual skill, and some of it's even luck! Those are two things you won't know until the battle starts.

Remember, I wrote the battle yesterday, so none of what you say will change how it'll roll...

Porcu-Power - 3 votes
Buster Bros. - 3 votes

I had an idea. Suppose I post a small portion of the battle now, and the whole thing 2 weeks from now. That way you have an idea of how things are going to roll. Sound good?

Maybe not. That's like letting the people see the beginning of a horse race and then letting them bet... probably best just to wait.

I vote Porcu-Power becease I tought these enemies were always more annoying than the Buster Beetles.

Furthermore, the Porcupo have spikes all over their backs which means that unlike Buster Beetles, they can't be attacked from above.

In fact, I believe that the victory will be determined by the fact that the Porcupo dodge/block successfully the incoming ice blocks or not.

If they do, they'll crush the Buster Beetles easily.

Else, they will be whiped out.

Anyway... I say that the Porcu-Power team will win... probably.
