Super Mario Continuance (REITERATED)

The following chapter is an alternate ending, and was removed from the book originally. It was initially supposed to be an epilogue, but I decided against it. I thought since the book is getting a little bit of attention, that an additional silly little bonus chapter would help make the wait for the next book in the series a little more bearable! Enjoy!


Mario had taken Riba to a play at Peach's Castle. Apparently it was supposed to be a play based on Riba and Len's adventure. As they passed through the door, Riba was so distracted by his conversation with Mario, that he didn't notice the sign saying: "Tonight only! Super Mario Continuance The Musical, Overture by: Len and the Kitty Bells!"


Once inside, Princess Peach gave them both a slice of cake. "Thanks for coming, Mario. Riba. Please, have a seat, the band performing the overture is really good!" She exclaimed. The play was indeed based on Riba and Len's adventure… though Riba thought the girl playing Len looked a little too much like her.


Four instances of drumsticks clacking together. Then, trumpets. Tubas. All sorts of brass instruments.


Then, the spotlight shone on a little girl with white hair, and cat ears. Riba couldn't believe his eyes! It was Len! She winked at him along with the sound of two piano notes. Then, the song started. Len appeared to be the singer.


She sang a song about a little girl who learned to love thanks to a man who had just learned how to love. Riba and Mario danced along. So did everyone else. Luigi, Daisy, Peach. A brown haired woman with a red hat, who Mario seemed to recognize, nodded. She was smiling and looking proud. Even Koi was in the group! 


Elizabeth… Riba's parents… the Wiggler they cooked and ate. Everyone Riba had met during his journey was alive and well in this new iteration. Riba and Mario had met up with them on their many adventures. It hadn't been a dream. Just another life. 


"Hey, everyone!" Len shouted. "Big thanks to CorpseSyndrome and all of Team ARI for making the characters, and (MARIO) The Music Box + ARC. Couldn't have done it without you!" Len pointed her finger towards someone in the crowd.


Characters? (MARIO) The Music Box + ARC? What was she talking about? Riba seemed to be the only one bothered by this. He stopped dancing.


"Nothing," Riba denied. He was then pulled away by two Toads. One blue and the other yellow. Onto the dance floor. 


"Mario!" Bowser shouted, as he and the Koopa Kids crashed through the wall. It looked scripted, as everyone kept playing their instruments. "This isn't over yet! I'll get you someday!" Len held up her fist at him, and he ran out the hole he came in from, screaming. Len took another break in the lyrics, presumably to credit someone else. 


"Also, thanks to Nintendo! For making the Super Mario franchise! None of this would exist without you. Here's to another great 35 years of amazing games!" Len shouted into the mic. Super Mario franchise? What???


"Yes!" Mario exclaimed. Mario seemed to know what she was talking about. Riba rushed over, and put his arms on Mario's shoulders.


"Mario what is she talking ab---?" Riba asked.


"Also, this isn't the first time this has happened! Super Mario Continuance, the original, is also a book that will become available soon as of the time of this being written! I recommend you check it out if you liked this one, and want to see the original story!" Len exclaimed. "Now let's get partying!"


"Whaaat?!" Riba shouted, in complete confusion.


"Thank you so much for reading my book!" Mario exclaimed. Riba looked at him, in shock. 


"Wait! This isn't right!" Riba shouted. "Please, give me answersssss!"
