Another epic pop culture story!

[Disneyland_DHI]

were playing Super Mario Sunshine, though the game was glitching. Delfinans kept dancing, no matter if it was to Thriller or to Soulja Boy. The waters were always filled with gunk. And if you sprayed a Delfinan while they danced, they would pick you up and throw you somewhere random. They were sucked in by some weird space creature that had claws and everything.

Back at the villain's castle, the puff ball was disscussing matters with the evil queen.

"So the original villains' memories are lost, yes?" the ball asked.
"FOR THE LAST TIME, THEY ARE!" Queen Samantha exploded. "And what did you say your name was again?"
"Evil," the puff ball answered. "Canevil."

In Munchkinland...

The Searchers were pondering on how to get to Isle Delfino. Since it was a video game world, they were at a bit of a loss.
"Does anybody own the game?" DHI asked.
The Searchers talked amongst themselves and looked around a bit, but no one had it, despite there being a Wii close by.
"So now what?" Harry asked.
"Hold on," Striker said. "I remember the game now. If memory serves, Mario, Peach and Toadsworth flew a plane from the Mushroom Kingdom to Isle Delfino."
"That's right," Mr. Burns said.
"To the airport!" Princeton said.
"Wait a minute," Lisa said. "It was an airport in the Mushroom Kingdom, right?"
"Yeah," DHI said. "What's your point?"
"So how do we get to the Mushroom Kingdom?" she asked.
Silence fell over the Searchers as they started thinking things over again.
"Well," Striker said, breaking the silence, "let me answer that question with another question. How did the Mario Bros. get to the Mushroom Kingdom in the first place?"
The Searchers thought some more.
"I got it!" Nicky said. "A warp pipe!"
"So, all we have to do is find a warp pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom?" Harry asked.
Striker nodded.
"Then let's not waste any time," Kirk said. "What does a warp pipe look like?"
"According to my experience," DHI said, really just referring to all the time he spent playing video games, "it's usually a large, green pipe jutting out of the ground vertically. Shouldn't be too hard to find, but they're usually guarded by carnivorous plants."
Everyone looked at Seymour.
"Sure, everyone hears 'carnivorous plant' and thinks of me. Not cool, guys."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, in which all the farmers had been removed and Queen Samantha's castle now stood...............

[Disneyland_DHI]

the Queen, MEW, and Evil were discussing things over Monday Night Football, but it was a Friday morning.

"How will we regain all the villains' who teamed up with those indolent little Searchers?" Evil asked.
"Simple," the Queen stated,"Erase their memories of the event. But there are some that are still evil and want nothing to do with the pathetic excuse for a team."
The centerpiece at the table, which was crystal-eight ball, had foggedd up.

"WHAT IS IT THIS TIME, LEO?" MEW boomed.
"The Searchers are attempting to make their way to the Mushroom Kingdom." Leo responded.
"Well," his evil wife started, "Do you know where they are now?"
Leo shook his head blankly.
"Shall we send it after them?" MEW asked his queen.
"No," she said, "Let's wait a while to send Space Warp after those powerless Searchers."
In a muffled voice, their space creature pet said, "MY NAME IS BOB!"

The Searchers were on their way, now firing lasers at a pirhanna plant guarding a horizontal warp pipe big enough to fit the StarSpeeder. This certain plant was invunerable to lasers, so it did not work, unfortunately.

"Seymour," DHI started.
"I know, I know," Seymour said and sighed. Kirk landded the Speeder, Seymour opened the door, and ran out, holding some raw meat for the plant. The plant saw this, and Seymour heaved the large wad of meat past the plant. He had no control of where the meat landed, but at least it was gone and so was the plant. Seymour got back in the StarSpeeder, and off they were to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The strange Intergalactic Specter was now flying its way through the cosmos when it suddenly bumped into someone.

"Not you!" it said to monkey.

"Hello, Space Warp," he replied. (My appreciation, DHI)

"For the last time," the Specter said, irritated, "my name is not Space Warp!"

"Don't shout," monkey said nonchalantly, grinning, "it's very un-ladylike."

"AND I'M NOT A GIRL!" the Specter fumed.

monkey sighed, "You can't stop the imagination, friend."

At that moment, Gumby popped out of nowhere shouting: "IMPORTANT PLOT POINT!", leaving the two entities dumbfounded for a moment. monkey broke the silence.

"And in mine, you're a female Intergalactic Specter nicknamed Space Warp. Then again, that only befits myself but I digress. I'm afraid I can't let you reach the Mushroom Kingdom. You know what I'll have do to you..."

"No!" the Specter said in alarm, "Not that! Anything but that!"

A FEW MOMENTS LATER

"Every penguin has a song," a voice in the movie began whilst the Specter screamed in agony, chained to a couch being forced to watch the dancing baby penguin.

[Striker81]

MEW, his queen and Evil were sitting around in the castle, awaiting word from Space Warp (or whatever her name is). He/she/it had been sent to keep the Searchers from reaching the Mushroom Kingdom, but it hadn't been heard from in some time.
Evil finally broke the silence. "Do you think it succeeded?"
"Of course it did," the queen stated. "It only has one weakness, and I doubt anyone would be able to figure out what it is."
"What is its weakness?" MEW asked.
"I'm not sure," the queen said. "Something about dancing baby penguins. But the Searchers aren't smart enough to figure that out."
"True," Evil said. "those fools are more about brawn than brains."
The three then shared a hearty, yet sinister, laugh when someone rushed into the room.
"Expendable pawn #3,428 reporting, your highness," he said.
"Wow, are we really up to that high a number?" the queen asked herself, thinking she should really been less strict on her pawns. She shook off that thought. "Report."
"I regret to inform your highness that he, I mean she, I mean it has been captured and is unable to confront the Searchers."
"What do you mean?" the queen asked.
"It appears while it was heading to cut off the Searchers before they reached the Mushroom Kingdom, some unknown but powerful being intercepted it and is now performing excruciating torture on it."
"How do you torture an ethereal being?" Evil asked himself.
"How did you learn all of this?" the queen asked her pawn.
"The internet?"

Meanwhile, the Searchers had just reached the Mushroom Kingdom.

(Bertha? Who's that?)

Mushroom Kingdom looked like a cartoony version of Pirates of the Caribbean.(HAHA! POTC from a StarSpeeder!) Not only had it been overrun by the Mario Bros'. enemies, but other videogame character's enemies as well. And unfortunately, Seymour had thrown the piece of meat into the pipe, as Petey's offspring had perched itself from the roof of one of several Koopa hotels that hadn't burnt down. A large mechanic Bowserbot had gotten in their way and nearly burnt them. The StarSpeeder had been pelted with several dodgeballs from pirates and ninjas.

"NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO EXIT MUSHROOM KINGDOM!" cried Bowser. Several of Mario and Luigi's fellow Smashers had been trying to maintain order, but were failing. DHI had found his sketchpad, where he had kept drawings of what happened, and then future events, all of which they had experienced. He had also pulled out his wand and lowered the cockpit window.

"YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE SO POWERFUL," DHI began," WELL, THIS IS MY IMAGINATION!" Magic light was building up, but eventually got destroyed. "Wait a minute. What happened? Okay, my wand's not working, so I guess we'll have to win in a dance off."

Back at the castle, Leo was showing them the events. Evil, Queen Samantha, and MEW had broken out into laughter not only because of "DANCE OFF" but because DHI's wand did not work.
"HOW STUPID CAN HE BE," Evil asked himself, "TO CHALLENGE THOSE VILLAINS WE SENT?!?! BBWAHAHAHA!"
But turns out DHI was serious, and they had pumped his iPod in once again, while the group of Searchers were sitting and standing outside.

Bowser had done well at Somebody's Watchin' Me while DHI had almost bombed it, but he was given style points for the white man's overbite, though he was Asian. The Rockwell hit turned into Thriller, with DHI in his red jacket, complete with zombies from the game, Pirates VS. Ninjas Dodgeball. DHI just did the famous move over and over again, maintaining that cheesy overbite, so that lost the good side points. High School Musical then came on, and DHI knew all those dance moves. DHI had it in the bag! Bowser slowly turned to stone, with all the villains doing the same.

(Oh, right...)

Wallace, Gromit, and Jeff were flying through a strange vortex. During this, Jeff was separated from Wallace and Gromit and flew of into a strange, trash-filled town.

"I don't think I'm in Wallace's house anymore," he said.

A grungy creature popped up from the filth saying, "Of course not! You're in Grouchland!"

Wallace and Gromit, meanwhile, found themselves in an odd, dark world where four heads were singing:

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouge, scaramouge
Will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightening
Very very frightening
Me...

Back in Beverly Hills-esque Town (what was once Far Far Away; they felt the first new name was unfitting)...

[Striker81]

A couple of delivery workers appeared at the cheese shop, with a truckload of crates.
"Got your cheese, mac," one worker said as he entered the store. "Sorry it took so long. Hope you had no trouble."
"Hey, boss," the second worker said. He kneeled over the owner, whose body had still not been disposed of. "Looks like another one."
"Ah, fishsticks," the first worker said. "Another bloke who couldn't get cheese shoots another owner. It's like an epidemic here. What is that, the sixth one?"
"Actually, the ninth."
"Well, might as well deliver our load. We'll just send the bill to his next-of-kin."
"Right, boss."

Meanwhile, back in the Mushroom Kingdom, nearly all the Smashers were parading DHI on their shoulders, seeing as how he saved the day. The rest of the Searchers were just left standing there.
Striker opened his trenchcoat and looked at his sword, sheathed at his side.
"Ah well," he said. "Maybe next time."
"I'm with you there," said someone next to him. He looked over. It was Link.
"Wait a minute," Striker said. "What happened with your whole silent protagonist bit?"
Link realized he been caught, but tried to play it off. "Oh. Uhhh. I mean, ...hmm."
Link then just yelled out a series of battle grunts, as he ran to catch up with the rest of the Smashers.
"Well," Kirk said, "this is great and everything, but we still have a job to do."
"You're right," B said. "Hey, DHI! Don't forget we're supposed to find the airport to take us to Isle Delfino!"
"I know!" he shouted back. "Where do you think they're taking me? And why are you guys still hanging around back there?"
The rest of the Searchers just shook their collective heads and ran to catch up with DHI.

Meanwhile, Wallace and Gromit............

[monkey4057]

...had managed to get away from the faces, but were now in a different world where voices echoed:

I need somebody to love
I need somebody to love
I need somebody to love
I need somebody to love

"What the heck's going on here?" Wallace inquired.

One of the singers, Freddie, answered, "Oh, hello. Welcome to the Queen Universe."

[Disneyland_DHI]

Back at Mushroom Kingdom, all the Searchers and Smashers were now at the airport.

A Toad had just said it would cost over 2000 gold coins to get on, and they were now contemplating this.

"Everyone, check your pockets!" Kirk inquired. Bart pulled out a single piece of pocket lint, Lisa and Marge had no pockets, Homer had donught sprinkles, DHI had two pennies, Kirk and Larry had nothing, the three teenaged wizards had wands, and they all had nothing.

"How will we obtain that much money in such a short time?" Harry asked. As if replying, DHI pulled out a lime green hat with a white spot with a "D" printed on it.

DHI started running, accompanied by the Super Mario theme. He jumped over many Koopas, thus getting a prize from a box. A mushroom had slowly emerged, then crawled towards DHI. 1UP! DHI was now bigger, and somehow obtained the power to breathe fire. Strangely, the mushroom didn't wear off. He had to get the flag down, but merely had to reach it.

[Striker81]

"Wait a minute, here," Striker said. "We just saved your kingdom. What do you mean we have to pay to fly to Isle Delfino?"
"That's right," Larry said. "If it weren't for us, you'd be out of business, right?"
The Toads gathered and conferred. After a few moments, they broke their huddle.
"Gee, sorry about that fellas," one Toad said. "This one's on the house."
"Hey, DHI!" Striker yelled. "We're flying for free! You can stop now!"
DHI looked dejected. "But I'm almost there. What else am I going to do with 1,800 gold coins."
"Hold on to it," Harry said. "You never know when they might come in handy."
The Searchers began to board the plane, with DHI bringing up the rear mumbling to himself.
"Just hold onto it? One does not merely hold onto 1,800 gold coins."
DHI then found a Toad merchant, who was able to turn his gold coins into 18 1-up mushrooms. DHI loaded them into a bag and joined his friends on the plane.

Meanwhile, back at the Queen Universe................

[Striker81]

Okay, suppose I'll go again

"Why are we even here?" Wallace asked.
"You see," another member, Brian, said, "we understand there's some shenanigans going on in another world and that some queen's behind it."
"Therefore," Freddie said, "we wish to find some souls to send there to hopefully put a stop to this queen's ambitions."
"Why?" Wallace asked.
"Because," Roger said, "as Queen, we cannot stand it when our name is dragged through the mud because of some queen."
"Right," John said, "remember that Marie Antoinette girl?"
"Of course," Freddie said. "We sang about her, remember?"
"We sure got her good," Brian said.
"Hold on!" Wallace said. "So you called us here because you're concerned about what some queen's doing in another world?"
"Right."
"You gents?" Wallace asked.
"Yes."
"Called Queen?"
"Quite right."
"Want to stop a queen?"
"Yes."
"Even though you gents are not royalty, for instance, a queen?"
"We are...Queen."
Wallace looked at Gromit, who just shrugged.

Back at Grouchland...............

[monkey4057]

Jeff had managed to scare away the evil Huxley for good. As a reward, he was kicked into a special garbage can that lead to the Queen Universe.

"Alright," Freddie said, "add another person to the list."
------------------------------
The Searchers had finally gotten to Isle Delfino. When they got there, they noticed everyone headed to Town Hall.

"What's going on?" Zoboo asked.

"Some Italian plumber's being put on trial," a resident told him, "I don't think this should take too long."

Luke straightened up in shock. "This plumber," he began, "does he have a mustache and a green hat?"

"Red."

They all went to Town Hall where they found former Searcher Mario being tried for setting graffiti all around the island. Ultimately, he was deemed guilty due to a picture based on eyewitness descriptions. His sentence: he may not leave the island until he has cleaned all the graffiti.

At the end of the trial, the Searchers tried to bail him out of prison with the 1-Ups only to learn that anything besides coins would not be accepted. Everyone glared at DHI.

"How was I supposed to know?"
