(Chapter 3: The Escape)
“Oh-no,” the sinister voice said over the intercom. “I’m afraid the game is not yet over.” Regardless, Mario and Fox ran through the door from which Giga Bowser had came, and found themselves in a long, narrow hallway. There were no doors on either side of them, but there was one at the far end. The air was still and cold. Their footsteps echoed as they walked down the hall. When they arrived at the end of the hall, they found that there were in fact TWO doors at the end instead of one.
“Uh... what do we do now?” Mario asked.
“As you can see, there are two doors in front of you... one will send you into the next room... the other will cause whoever opens it to die. Which door will grant you freedom?”
This was just like the lock challenge, only a lot harder. And unfortunately for Mario and Fox, there was no way to tell which door would grant them freedom.

Link stepped out of the temple, and the sun was setting in the distance. “Such a beautiful sight,” Link said to himself. He turned left and jumped off the ledge the temple was on, and headed down a hill and landed on the hard surface below. He turned right and went down another hill and jumped off onto another platform...only to find the temple was floating in the air.
“What the...Oh come on! What is this!? Why is the temple in the air?!” He horked up some spit and shot it over the ledge, to see if he could hear it hit the ground. Nothing. He didn’t hear a sound. He did, however, hear a familiar roar in the distance that sounded like that of a Charizard; and it was. Red was flying high above the skies on his beloved Charizard, and just so happened to pass Link on the temple.
“Hey! HEEEEEEY!” Link hollered as Red got closer to him.
“Oh, hey Link!” Red replied. “Fancy meeting you up here.”
“Yes, well, I seem to be stuck up here. Can you get me down?”
“How’d you get stuck up here, let alone GET up here?”
“It was grounded earlier, and yet after I exited the temple, it was in the air for some reason.”
“Hm... that’s quite odd... anyway, hop on! We’ll get you down.”
Link hopped on Charizard’s back and sat behind Red, the three of them flying off into the distance.

Mario and Fox stood in front of the doors, perplexed at which one to try and open. One would grant them freedom, the other...death. Without even thinking, Fox went to try and open the left-hand door, but the surface of it caused him to collapse to the ground and stop breathing.
“Shoot!” Mario belted. Fox was dead, but that also meant that the right-hand door was the one that would set him free. He picked up Fox’s lifeless body and piggybacked it, threw open the door, and ran out.
****
The view from the sky was magnificent. The grass was crisp and green, bursting with life. The sky was its usual blue colour, and the clouds were pure white. Below Link and Red saw Meta Knight and Marth, chilling out and telling random jokes to each other.
“So,” Marth said. “What’s the difference between a Belgian, and a lump of dog crap?”
“That’s...that’s not a joke, dude. That’s just terrible.”
“Wrong! The Belgian drinks wine, but the dog crap smells good.”
Dead silence from Meta Knight. “Dude... what is wrong with you?”
“I stole that from Scary Movie 4. Gotta love Leslie Nielsen.”
“Still, that’s freaking offensive”.
Red and Link swooped down and landed beside them.
“Hey guys, whatcha doing?” Red asked.
“Nothing, just telling really, REALLY tasteless jokes,” Meta Knight replied, leering at Marth.
“Awesome,” Red replied back.

Mario ran down the many stairs that were in the villain’s fortress. Mario had no idea who the aforementioned villain was, but whoever they were, they were bent out of their mind. Mario was panting, he was getting tired and Fox was too heavy to carry. But he was so close to the exit...and there was only one flight of stairs left. He bucked up and gathered his remaining energy and bolted down the stairs, kicked open the door, found himself in a grassy field and collapsed from exhaustion.
****
“I still don’t see how a dog smells nicer than a Belgian,” Link said. The group had been discussing the tasteless joke Marth had told to the point they were nitpicking its very wording and derailment of the discussion.
“I still don’t see your mom,” Red replied.
“OH HAHA THAT WAS SO FUNNY I COUGHED UP MY ESOPHOGUS,” Meta Knight sarcastically yelled. Marth stared at him blankly, and Link thought up a tasteless joke of his own.
“So, a Jew, an Islam, and a priest, are all on a plane. The pilot comes in and says, ‘Hey, are any of you not—‘”
“OKAAAAAY!” Red interrupted. “I don’t think you need to continue.”
“Daw, come on! It’s awesome. Anyway, the priest turns to him and says, ‘Shut up, stupid! You don’t even speak English!’”
“We’re all going to hell for this, aren’t we?” Marth asked.
“Most definitely,” Meta Knight replied
