Mario VS Link

Catboy: Are we ready for the episode?


Owlette: Wait! Where's Callie?


Kit: I just saw her in her room


Callie: Howdy guys! Sorry if I'm late!


As the others turned around, they saw that Sheriff Callie was now dressed with Knuckles' shirt under a brown jacket, black jeans with a crimson red belt, red boots and her usual pink hat


Toby: Woah Sheriff! It looks like you changed your style since the last episode!


Luna Girl:(giggles) And all because of you "Knuxie"


Callie:(blushes) Yeah... I know... right?


Gecko: Alright! I'll put the episode on!


Wiz: Shigeru Miyamoto, he is a video game designer and producer for the video game company Nintendo


Boomstick: And he is best known for making these two brave heroes


Ryder: I wonder who they are...


Wiz: Mario whimsical Italian plumber


Tuck and Ella: (gasps and howls)


Pinkie Pie: Yippie! Mario is back!


Boomstick: And Link the savior of Hyrule


Foxwolf: Link is back too!


Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick


Wiz: And is our job to analyze who will win a Death Battle


Catboy: Is good that they brought those two back


Mario


Wiz: Born as one of the Seven Star children, Mario was destined for greatness. At that point in time, Mario had started his career as a carpenter with his brother Luigi


Owlette: Hm... interesting... I never knew about that...


Wiz: But one day, Mario's girlfriend, Pauline, was taken away by a monstrous gorilla named Donkey Kong. Mario left his job and went off to rescue his girl


Rocky: Woah woah woah... Mario had a girlfriend before Princess Peach?!


Rubble: And she was kidnapped by Donkey Kong? Man! No wonder why they hate each other

Weight:-200 Ib |90.7 kg
Species: Human
Age: 24
Versatile multi-talented fighter
Originally named Jumpman
Has so many jobs
Favorite food: Pasta


There was never any rest for this plumber. Princess Toadstool, aka Princess Peach, was taken by the
fully grown Bowser. So, Mario had to go out and save the princess. Needless to say the Mushroom
Kingdom is in good hands


Gecko: Yeah... but I have a question... did Mario broke up with Pauline when he became interesed in Peach?


Tesh: But then why Pauline still appears in videogames?


Sonicboy: I should ask Mario about this...

Wiz: Mario is an expert in melee attacks. His most notable move is the jump. Mario will leap into the air, landing onto the enemies head. After landing the first time, Mario can hop up and land again with more power


Catboy: Wow! He is a star at jumping! I wonder if he can teach me how to do those moves...


Boomstick: But Mario's most used weapon is his hammer. This weapon is a wooden hammer that Mario uses to whack foes' faces in. If he hits at just the right time, the hammer can cause devastating damage. He also has a more powerful hammer with made of steel


Sonicboy: He seriously has a hammer like Amy has


Owlette: One of wood and the other one of steel? Woah...

Wiz: He can already increase his size with a Mushroom, he also has the Fire Flower but he's learned how to use Pyrokinesis without it


Boomstick: Mario also has the lce Flower, which is like the Fire Flower but it shoots ice, capable of freezing foes in an instant! And the Gold Flower turns Mario into gold! In this form, he can shoot gigantic balls of gold!


Peck: Woah!


Armadylan: That's a lot!


Wiz: These gold balls turn anything they touch into gold, with a bell he turns into a cat, the Double Cherry creates clones of Mario, he can also fly with the Wing Cap and Cape Feather, and he turns completely invincible with the Starman for a short time


Newton: I still can't believe that a star can gave him that power


Vampirina: And even caps, a bell and even cherries


Skye: And that's a lot!


Wiz: Mario's fast enough to maneuver through lightning, and ride on the Star Driver which based on the flight distance it must have been moving around almost Mach 400 (Mach 375) and even better he is launched and he can fly across galaxies in seconds that is way above Mach 400. He's even took an castle sized explosion to the face and be completely fine. And in Mario Power Tennis he alongside his brother/sidekick Luigi is standing in the middle of the tennis field when it exploded which was about 2.4 megatons of TNT. he even
restrained a Chain Chump Gold is ridiculously heavy. While one cubic foot of iron weighs 491 pounds, a cubic foot of gold is over 1,200 pounds. Luckily, a Chain Chomp is a perfect sphere, so we can compare it to Mario's height to find that it
weighs nearly 6000 (5,731) tons


Boomstick: And last but not least Mario picked up a castle a kicked it in the air which was about 61,372,830 tons. Man! How in the world did he lifted that?!


Armadylan: Yeah! How?! He doesn't seem to have muscles or a lot of streight!


Ryder: I guess he may used a power up or is just a hidden power


Chase: Good theories...


Wiz: Mario's absurd strength shouldn't be as surprising as you'd think. While he's fairly naive, and not much of a strategist, he's saved the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser's clawed grip time and time again


Boomstick: Never understimate Nintendo's amazing red plumber!


Tuck and Ella: You said it!


Mario: Let's a-go


Catboy: Alright! Now is Link's turn!


Link


Wiz: In the kingdom of Hyrule, everything fell into despair when the evil Ganondorf was trying to take over. However, there was a chosen one. His name was Link


Background
Age: 17
Height: 5'6"/170cm
Bears the Spirit of the Hero
Left-Handed
Hero of the Wild
Multincarnate
Humble & Courageous
Skilled in Boxing, Sumo Wrestling
Has so many different timelines
Looks very similar to Peter Pan


Marshall:(facepalms) Again with the Peter Pan thing?


Catboy: They always compare him as Peter Pan...


Wiz: Link is the multi-incarnated hero of the Hyrule Kingdom. Humble and brave, he has defeated the forces of evil for ten generations. Each incarnation
of Link bears the Spirit of the Hero, bestowing the unbreakable will and combat prowess of each previous owner. His most iconic weapon is the Master Sword


Gecko: I love his sword!


Master Sword
Also known as the Goddess Sword
Crafted by the Goddess Hylia
Repels evil
Indestructible
Sword Beam/Skyward Strike
Deflects light energy magic
Bombos - Launches fire
Ether - Freezes foes
Quake - Makes earthquakes


Wiz: Indestructible weapon passed down from every Link, this blade repels evil with light-based magic,
it shoots out beans of light and can summon a Skyward Strike


Gecko: Seriously, I want a sword like that one!


Catboy: Me too Gecko!


Boomstick: However the Master Sword is far from Link's only weapon

Wiz: He carries around a boomerang and tons of bombs
which used to take forever to detonate but now it can be remotely detonated, along with a hookshot which helps him zipline his way around and brings things to him. Link is an excellent archer, and usees the Hero's Bow in conjunction with several arrow
types. However, much of Link's arsenal is more suited to exploration than combat. The Red Ring reduces injury by 75%. Link also carries 3 boots. The Iron Boots weigh 130 pounds, the Hover Boots
float in midair, and the Pegasus Boots with attached Roc's Feather increases Link's speed and agility to superhuman levels. But his best defense is the Hylian Shield. Originally forged from the Thunder Dragon Lanayru, the Hylian Shield is completely indestructible. How ever Link also carries some magic by his side


Owlette: Oh right! I remember that!

Boomstick: Look Wiz! He has one that turns him into a fairy! I told you he was a fairy!


Wiz: Yeah yeah... I see it Boomstick...


Leopard: Again with the fairy thing?


Catboy: Sheesh Boomstick... we already know that...


Wiz: Link also has a little help from the goddesses, via the Triforce of Courage. This tiny golden triangle
embodies his ability to beat overwhelming odds. Link has solved hundreds of puzzles, created many strategies, learned to use dozens of weapons and pieces of equipment, and fought and defeated many strong opponents with different powers and abilities. Overall, Link is very intelligent. He is a puzzle solver, analyzing and exploiting his opponents' weaknesses even when there is only one possible means of winning


Catboy: Yeah! Since Link is a good warrior


Poppy: Well... not when he lost against Sora...


Vampirina: Or like Mario lost against Sonic...


Sonicboy: Let's hope they put their best...


But while Link has the necessary tools to take on any opponent, his over-reliance of inventory over
pure skill leaves him vulnerable. Still, anyone who can fight a guy three times his size, while wielding
a sword twice as large as he is, is still good twice as good as any video game hero. With so many weapons and skills, there are few who can stand a chance against the Hero of Hyrule


Boomstick: Yeah! No one stands a chance against this fairy boy!


Link raises his Master Sword in the air.


Gecko: I love when he does that!


Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all


Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!


Everyone: Woohoo!


Mario is seen under a tree eating spaghetti just having a good old time.


Mario: Yummy


Gecko: Aw! He should have invited me to eat!


Mario continues eating his favorite food, meanwhile Link appears from a distance and spots the plumber from behind a tree.


Link: Who is that? Is that who another person who Ganondorf sent?


Armadylan: Uh-oh...


Mario keeps eating his spaghetti until he's finally finished then the plumber sighs. But he heard a
sound.


Mario: Huh?


Tuck: Mario! Be careful! Link is trying to attack you!


Mario thought it was nothing until he looked to his
right to see Link ambushing the plumber with his
Master Sword by leaping forward to do a slash.


FIGHT!


Mario quickly jumps out of the way as Link slashes at him. Mario does a backwards somersault over
Link and then tries to punch him from behind. Link simply turns around and rams Mario back with his shield. Mario angrily rushes back with his hammer to hit Link while Link prepares his sword.
The two strike at each other repeatedly and end up just forcing themselves back. Mario does a long
jump towards Link who prepares his shield and bashes Mario down on to the ground. Link jumps up and with a loud "HYAH!" he tries to stab Mario.


Mario: WAHOO!


Mario begins running as Link follows.


Link: Quite running, coward!


Ella: Link is not to fast enough to catch Mario!


Pinkie Pie: You said it Ella!


Link shoots some arrows to stop the plumber from
running but he dodges them. Mario launches up with an uppercut to the hero's chin before letting
loose a powerful kick against his stomach. Once Link is down Mario ignites his hammer with fire and tries to smash it down on Link. Thinking fast, Link brings out the lce Rod and shoots a flurry of ice at Mario to freeze him in a cube of ice. Mario drops down to the ground frozen solid and Link brings out the Megaton Hammer to smash Mario to bits. The ice around Mario begins to shake and melt as Mario smashes out of it and uses the Mario Tornado on Link to hit him multiple times.


Link: GAH!


Link is knocked back but then pulls out his Goron Mask, turning in to Goron Link. He charges up his roll attack and spins towards Mario.


Mario/Batarina: MAMA MIA!


Armadylan: Hey! Now it got stuck on you sis!


Batarina: Man! Now to me?!


Mario does a mad dash away from his opponent but is soon smashed by the fast-paced rolling "Goron" Link clobbers Mario with some heavy punches and finishes it off with a smash from his back. Mario is bashed in to a tree nearby and is dazed. The plumber pulls something out from his overalls...a Metal Cap. He puts it on and becomes Metal Mario. He then begins running at Link. Link turns back to his normal form and shoots some powerful Fire Arrows at Mario to no effect as the plumber rushes through them.


Link: How the heck-


Before he could finish Mario punches Link in the face and sends him flying in the air. The Hyrule warrior gets up to recover only to be pin down by the heroic plumber. Nintendo's All Stars continue you to go at it as Mario's Metal Cap wears off.


Mario: Huh?


Rocky: Oh no... Mario is in trouble...


Ella and Pinkie Pie: Yikes!


Tuck: Uh oh!


This gives Link a chance to get back up and kick Mario off of him, Link then knocks his enemy down
to the ground with his shield. Mario gets up as Link rushes over and the two pull out some objects. Mario pulls out a Super Star while Link pulls out the Fierce Deity's Mask. Mario turns into "Invincible Mario"" while Link becomes Fierce
Deity Link.


Catboy: Let's see who of those two is more durable


Link tries to slash at Mario, but Mario runs into him
with a sparkly rainbow-colored ram. Link is
knocked back, but then sends a powerful sword
blast at Mario. The blast disperses upon contact
with Mario, and the plumber uses Ultra Flame to
shoot a huge barrage of fireballs at Link.


Link: GAH!


The rainbow star eventually runs out much to Mario's shock. Mario pulls out the Mega Mushroom
and eats it and becomes much much bigger. Link gets up and witness the plumber grow it a giant. Link pulls out the Giant's Mask and grows up to Mario's size. The two giants engage in a fist fight
before Mario uppercuts Link to win the brief clash. Mario charges his firebrand to blast Link while he's
dazed but is soon met with a Megaton Hammer smash across his head after Link quickly recovered.


Mario: OOF-A!


Gecko: Ouch! That must hurt!


Mario tumbles onto the ground, crushing multiple trees. Mario then counters Link with a punch and
knocks him to against a few trees.


Link: Yah!


Link does a spin attack but Mario jumps over the Master Sword and Ground Pounds Link on the head causing him to get dizzy. Before Mario can land another punch the Mega Mushroom slowly wears off as Link recovers and prepares to do a slash.


Link: You're finished!


However Mario does a Super Jump Punch on Link's chin and knocks the mask of him causing Link to start turning back into normal size too. The two opponents turn back into normal size. Link then jumps and puts on a Goron Mask and
squishes Mario. Link rests when he thinks finally killed Mario. Mario then picks up Goron Link and
throws him several feet into the air. Mario throws Fireballs at him, burning him. Link then crushes Mario who takes the hit, but appears unaffected. Link punches Mario multiple times, enough times
to send the red capped plumber flying.


Link: Hmph!


Sonicboy: Man! Come on Mario! I know you can do this!


But the Italian plumber returns, uses an invincibility star, a super leaf, and a mega mushroom and starts attacking Goron Link,
knocking off the mask, turning Link into his base form. Link grabs the Master Sword to attack again
only to be grabbed by Mario to be threw into the air, and attacked multiple times. Due to this Link
drops his shield and the Master Sword which lands in front of Mario. Mario grabs it and jumps in the air much to Link's shock.


Link: No way.


Mario: Here we go!


The Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom pogoes the Hero of Hyrule's chest with the Master Sword 3 times. The third strike splits Link in half whose haves fly far apart. Mario covered in Link's blood takes a moment to take a deep breath.


Zuma and Rubble: (turn green and go to the bathroom)


Catboy: Woah! Never expect Mario to do that!


KO!


Mario sits under another tree and relaxes while Link's remains are scene near a pond and a woods


Ryder: Awesome job Mario!


Pinkie Pie: Yippie!


Tuck and Ella: (howls)


Boomstick: Damn, that's cold! With his own weapon!


Wiz: This was an extremely close battle, both had no advantage based on skill and arsenal


Boomstick: Link may have held the advantage in experience and intelligence but Mario outclasses Link everywhere else


Owlette: That's totally true!


Wiz: First of in terms of strength Link's best feat was able to lift and throw an enormous column of granite. And granite weighs 166 pounds per square foot. Mario picked up and threw a castle that weighs 61,372,830. Though it does mean that Link can wis over a thousand tons of pressure so he can survive many of Mario's assaults but the strength advantage is abundantly clear


Aquafish: Yeah! And Mario was stronger than Link


Wiz: In terms of speed both were fast enough to dodge lasers which should put them both at speeds faster than light, however Mario has been launched across galaxies in seconds which is nearly faster
than Link could ever react


Catboy: Now this time Mario reacted fast


Romeo: Unlike last time when he fought that hedgehog... Sonic was a fast idiot with that dumb plumber...


Catboy: Romeo!


Rainbow Dash:(thinks) Don't say that about Sonic!


Tuck: Mario is not dumb!


Sonicboy: And my bro is not an idiot!


Boomstick: In terms of durability Link surviving a boulder is great and all, but that still PALES in comparison to Mario who survived a 2.4 megaton explosion


Gecko: That's true... he did that...


Wiz: Mario's other categories helped him come out on top. His arsenal of Power-Ups, Gear, and natural
powers and skills got him the win. He is better at moving around the battlefield than Link, with his
incredible jumping ability and tricks like the Long Jump and Backwards Somersault. Even if Mario and Link's power ups, gear, and arsenal were not included leading it down to just Mario in base form vs Link with just his Master Sword and Hylian Shield the victor wouldn't change because Link's over-reliance of inventory over pure skill leaves him vulnerable while Mario has been shown that he doesn't need his arsenal to prove himself


Catboy: Sometimes the arsenal is not important...


Wiz: Overall while both characters are so similar and evenly match in terms of skills, power, and arsenal
and this fight could easily go in either ones favor, Mario had the edge in just enough of them to earn
the title as the true King of Nintendo


Boomstick: Link just couldn't Mari-own in time


Everyone: (laughs)


Pinkie Pie: I love Boomstick's puns!


Wiz: The winner is Mario


Klonoa: Wahoo! Good job Mario!


Chase: That was amazing!


Catboy: Mario won his second chance!


Gecko: Poor Link... it looks like he didn't won at least one time...


Owlette: At least Mario proved himself to be the best


Catboy: That's true!


Marshall: Uh... where's Rubble?


Rocky: And Zuma?


Zuma and Rubble: (throwing up)


Catboy: So much sickness...
