>You are Twilight >Anon has told you many interesting stories of his world >Unfortunately, the portal closed a while ago, so as many interesting things he's told you about his world's technology, you won't get to see it >You thought, at least >You check the portal every day, but never until today was it open again >Anon left through the portal, and came back with his vidya collection and a TV >"Try to see if you can power these things with magic." >You take the television and N64 and power them on >After a successful test run, you call your friends over to play a game with you "You want to play, Anon?" >"No, I've been playing those games most of my life. I think you girls deserve a chance to play." >He cracks a little smile as he is clearly struggling to keep a straight face >"H-here. This game is great for multiple friends." >He hands you a game titled "Mario Party"   P1- Twilight Sparkle P2- Derpy Hooves P3- Big Macintosh P4- Naked Banana Guy   >You are Derpy >You sit on the couch in front of the glowy box next to Big Mac and a banana >You watch the introduction scene >Lots of colorful characters are moving around and talking, but you have trouble reading what they're saying >After the intro, Anon hands you something he calls a "cunt-roller" >You were about to call him out for saying a bad word, but you were afraid Anon would get mad at you >Anon plays the tutorial, and you try to read it >This is what you get out of it: >You roll a die, and you move, then you get coins, then everyone plays a game >You like games >This is going to be fun >It's time to start the game for real >You look at the character select screen >You like the pretty lady, so you pick her >Big Mac picks the big monkey >The banana picks a fat man in a yellow cap >Twilight picks the green monster looking thing >20 turn game, bonus stars on, Map: Luigi's Engine room >The game starts, and there's more text you have trouble reading "When is the fun gunna start?!" >You immediately blush and hide your face, ashamed at your outburst >"Soon, Derpy," Anon replies >You roll a die to see who goes first >Big Mac rolls a 3, Twilight rolls a 1, You roll a 9 and the Banana rolls 6 >The game starts, finally   >You are Big Mac >You think you're catching onto this rather quickly >The first star is located up past the first blue gate, if the tutorial was any indication it's probably best to get up there as soon as you can >Derpy rolls an 8 on her first turn, and lands on a mushroom space >Anon explains that there's a 50/50 chance of her either losing a turn or getting another turn >She gets a regular mushroom, and rolls again >She ends up passing the blue gate before the turn ends >Banana's turn >Holding the controller with just his left hand, as the other one is covering his crotch, he presses A >He gets a 5, and lands on a single player minigame space >Five different possible mini-games pop up on screen, and a roulette starts to pick one of them   -Ghost Guess -Whack-a-Plant -Teetering Towers -Knock Block Tower -Ground Pound   >You are Anon >The roulette lands on Whack-a-Plant >Well shit, the guy's got the best single-player minigame on his first turn >The game starts, and unsurprisingly, the banana gets every plant in the first few rounds >By the fourth round though, you start questioning things >He chains all four plants perfectly, skipping over one but then returning to land back on him later, spinning quickly in midair >This guy is trying to show off >By the later rounds, he's doing full 360 spins and moving diagonally, taking all the hardest routes to get every single plant >All the while, Derpy mashes buttons on her controller, wondering why nothing is happening >The Banana finishes the game with all 36 coins >What the fuck? First of all, how is he this good the first time playing the game? >Second of all, how is he this good when the entire time he had one hand over his crotch? >"Uh, I think my..." >Derpy sits for a second and contemplates what she should say next >"My marehood-roller is broken..." >She blushes lightly >You have no clue how to reply, so you don't >Big Mac's turn >A minus block appears above his head >He rolls a 4, which takes away 4 coins, and lands on a red space, taking away 3 >He stares blankly at the screen   >Twilight's turn >She rolls an 8 as well, and arrives at the intersection >"Hmm... If I go left, I land on a blue space, earning 3 coins, leaving a 100% chance of benefit, while going down would lead to a mushroom space, and have the possibility of rolling again, leaving a 50% chance of benefit..." >She places her controller down and leans her head on her hoof, thinking >"But the benefit from the mushroom space would be greater, as it would give me a chance at the star, as I'd be able to get a chance to get past the gate before they switch at the start of the next turn..." >Derpy starts poking Big Mac in the side >"Though, I'd need to roll either a 5 or higher to get past the gate, and less than a 7 to not overshoot the star, because I don't have enough coins for a star..." >Big Mac continues to stare blankly at the screen, not reacting to Derpy, who was now playing with his lips in attempt to recreate certain facial expressions >"If I got less than 5, I would land before the gate, and would likely have to go through either red gate next turn, which would REALLY throw me off, but If I got a low enough roll both on turns I could last until the blue gate lowers again... if I go left and take the 3 coins, it would lead to the same situation..." >Derpy tries to recreate the smug look on the banana's face with Big Mac's face >"But wait, if I were to get a Poison Mushroom, skipping next turn, then I would come back during the next turn that the blue gate is down, giving me just as good a chance, assuming the star hasn't already been taken by somepony else!" >Big Mac finally pushes Derpy off of him, and she sits down on the couch, staring down, ashamed >"And all of this rides on my ability to win the minigame at the end of the turn, because even if I get the mushroom and get a 5 or 6, if I don't have enough coins, I'd go past the star anyway! I don't even know what any of the minigames are! How can I win a minigame if I have no clue what it is?!"   >"...but, if I get the poison mushroom, I have an extra chance to win a minigame before the blue gate comes down a second time. So, it's best to go... down." >Thank fuck >She's been at this for ten minutes now >She lands on the mushroom space, and gets a regular mushroom >"Ah! No! Um... okay, you can fix this. You just need to get a 5 or a 6." >She rolls a 7 >"No! Ugh, stupid game..." >She lands on another mushroom space, the one right past the star >She gets a poison mushroom >She just stares blankly at it >Minigame time! >1v3, with Big Mac as the solo team >The roulette of five minigames shows up on screen   -Bowl Over -Bash n' Cash -Tug o' War -Coin Shower Flower -Tightrope Treachery   >The roulette lands on Tug o'War
