Description
''Dragon Ball VS Super Mario Bros.! Two parents with spiky hair and powerful transformations do battle in a showdown of Good VS Evil!''

Interlude
(Cues: Invader )

'''Boomstick: Today we're putting two spiky-haired parents with many transformations against each other! One's good, the other is evil!'''

Wiz: Goku, the famous Super Saiyan.

'''Boomstick: And Bowser, the King of the Koopas. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!'''

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win A DEATH BATTLE!

Goku
Wiz: On the Planet Vegeta, Kakarot was born from Bardock, a low class warrior.

'''Boomstick: A warrior, not a scientist. That was a mistranslation.'''

Wiz: Planet Vegeta was decimated by the space tyrant Frieza, who had been authorized to destroy the planet by the God of Destruction, Beerus. Although almost all the saiyans were extinguished, a few did survive. Kakarot was one of these Saiyans. He was already sent to Earth to take over the planet.

'''Boomstick: When landing on Earth, Kakarot was taken under the care of an old man named Gohan. He took Kakarot under his wing, but he turned out to be uncontrollable.'''

Wiz: One day, Kakarot fell off a cliff. He survived, but he bumped his head and lost those memories. Kakarot was called Goku by his adoptive grandfather. Years later, in the full moon, Goku had become an Oozaru, and had accidentally killed him.

'''Boomstick: Shortly after, he met a young woman named Bulma. She was searching for the dragon balls, and Goku went on an adventure with her.'''

Wiz: He was first trained by Master Roshi, causing his power to increase immensely. For some reason, Goku had remained small until the age of 18 where he finally grew to his adult size. After defeating Piccolo Jr. at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, he finally married his childhood sweetheart, Chi-Chi. Afterwards, he had two sons, Gohan and Goten.

Boomstick: As an adult, he had completely outmatched Master Roshi, so the only one that could teach him anymore was King Kai.

Wiz: Under this training, Goku became even stronger than before. This allowed him to beat up the Saiyan Nappa, and fight on par with Vegeta. Goku's abilties are centered around ki, a life-force energy. This allows them to fly, and use energy blasts.

Abilities
 * Flight
 * Ki Blasts
 * Energy Barriers
 * Destructo Disk
 * Kiai
 * Solar Flare
 * Afterimage technique
 * Spirit Bomb
 * Kamehameha
 * Instant Transmission

'''Boomstick: Goku's ki can be used to create a huge variety of attacks. The Destructo Disk, stolen from Krillin, cuts through foes. The Energy Barrier protects the user from attacks, hence the name. The Kiai uses invisible energy bursts to surprise opponents, and the Solar Flare blinds them. The afterimage technique does what the name implies, creating afterimages to trick their enemy.'''

Wiz: The Spirit Bomb takes energy voluntarily given from other objects to create a giant ball of energy. It is powerful, but it requires energy from others, and it takes really, really long to charge. Also, the Spirit Bomb can only harm evil. If it lands on someone pure-hearted, like Gohan, it simply bounces right off.

'''Boomstick: But his best attack is none other than the Kamehameha. This move is so cool that everyone who has watched this series has a kid has wanted to do it.'''

Wiz: And that's not all. The Kamehameha can be used in a variety of different ways, such as a jet, or powered by one hand. Sometimes, multiple people can use a Kamehameha at once. Goku also can combine the attack with another one of his abilities, Instant Transmission. This is a form of teleportation. Nowadays, he doesn't need to concentrate while using it, but he needs to lock onto a ki signal for it to work. Combining it with the Kamehameha makes the Instant Kamehameha, allowing Goku to ambush an opponent.

Techniques and Arsenal
 * Kaioken
 * Power Pole
 * Sensu Bean
 * Nimbus

'''Boomstick: Although Goku can do crazy things with his ki, such as reading minds and flying, this source of energy is highly limited. While training with King Kai, Goku learned the Kaioken technique. This amplifies his stats for a short time, but it can put a huge strain on his body or even be fatal if he uses it for too long.'''

Wiz: Goku also has some weapons, including the Power Pole, a staff which can grow or shrink in size. He mostly used this as a kid, but he has occasionally used it as an adult. The Flying Nimbus was often used to get around as a kid, but now he usually doesn't need it. In order to ride it, a person must be pure-hearted. Over the years, he has never fallen through the cloud, nor have his two sons. When he's hurt, eating a sensu bean can heal wounds, including broken bones.

'''Boomstick: At one point when facing Frieza, the Kaioken wasn't enough to beat him, and after witnessing Krillin's death, Goku was finally pushed to become a Super Saiyan. There are 3 normal Super Saiyan forms.'''

Wiz: These forms did put a burden on his body when he first used them, but not anymore. Super Saiyan 2 doesn't really change that much, except Goku is more violent. Super Saiyan 3 gives an even greater power increase than before, and it makes his hair look ridiculous. Originally, he couldn't maintain this form for long since it took out a lot of his energy, but now he can use it as easily as he can use his other Super Saiyan forms.

'''Boomstick: But one being made even Super Saiyan 3 look like a joke. This was Lord Beerus the Destroyer, the same deity who ordered Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta. Nobody but Beerus, Frieza, and Beerus' teacher, Whis, knew this, but Goku wanted to fight Beerus since he had heard he was strong. Surprise, surprise, he got taken out in literally two blows.'''

Wiz: Beerus had been looking for a true legendary form, Super Saiyan God. With help from Gohan, Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, and Videl's at the time unborn baby, they performed the ritual necessary for Goku to achieve this form. Now, he had become a true legend.

Super Saiyan God
 * Ritual needs to be performed by 6 pure-hearted Saiyans
 * Massive increase in power
 * Allowed Goku to fight a held-back Beerus
 * Almost destroyed the universe when clashing with Beerus

'''Boomstick: In this form, Goku had a GIGANTIC increase in power and speed. But even with this new power, he STILL lost to Beerus, who was barely at 70% of his power.'''

Wiz: Well, Beerus is a god of destruction. Still, Goku was powerful enough where he could keep up with Beerus. The latter is marginally slower than his trainer, Whis, who traveled across the universe in 3 hours while carrying several passengers. This universe is twice the size as ours, so to pull off a feat like that, Whis would have to be traveling at a speed of 3.644747731373333e+23 mph, or 543,492,000,311,452.6 times the speed of light! And that's while transporting several passengers with him!

'''Boomstick: Not only that, their clashes almost wiped out the whole universe! Not to mention Goku nullified an energy wave which could wipe out the universe as well.'''

Wiz: Still, not even that is Goku's strongest form. Although the form was temporary, he had absorbed its power. Later, when fighting Frieza again, he tapped into it again to achieve the Saiyan Beyond God form. Finally, after mastering his godly ki completely and combining it with his Super Saiyan form, he had achieved Super Saiyan Blue.

Super Saiyan Blue
 * Has no time limit
 * Combination of Super Saiyan and godly ki
 * Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken
 * Combining Super Saiyan Blue with Kaioken
 * Extremely high risk
 * Effects of Kaioken happen after dropping out of the Super Saiyan Blue form

'''Boomstick: Super Saiyan Blue increases his power even further than his Super Saiyan God state. With this power, he was able to fight Golden Frieza.'''

Wiz: Later, while fighting Universe 6's Hit, Goku found away to combine the Super Saiyan Blue form with the Kaioken. He never combined the Kaioken with the Super Saiyan form, as that would pretty much be throwing his own life away. Like the original Kaioken, Goku can only mantain it for so long. It's high risk, with a slim chance of succeeding. The Super Saiyan Blue form protects him from the effects of the Kaioken, but when he drops out of it, he experiences those effects. After being reckless with this technique, Goku got Delayed Onset Ki disorder, and King Kai said if he kept on using the form recklessly, then he wouldn't be able to fight at all.

'''Boomstick: The greatest thing about Goku is that he never gives up. He is always seeking to improve his power. Unfortunately, this can be a huge weakness, since he often wants to fight opponents at their best.'''

Weaknesses
 * No formal education
 * Avoids unfair advantages
 * Always wants to fight opponents at their best
 * Cannot breathe in space
 * His wife can get in the way of his and his sons' training at times

Wiz: Goku can fly in space for a short amount of time, but he can't breathe in space. Also, he's not very smart. He never had any formal education, despite Master Roshi giving him some basic schooling.

'''Boomstick: Unlike his sons, who have had a LOT of education, thanks to Chi-Chi, who really takes them having an education seriously. Too seriously, really. She also has made Goku work when he felt like he should train so he could be ready for the next threat. A few times, she even said that Gohan and Goten studying is more important than the safety of the Earth! How fucking stupid is that?'''

Wiz: Regardless, Goku is already a genius battle tactician. He doesn't need a formal education. Goku may have some flaws, but he's undoubtedly one of the greatest anime heroes of all time.

Goku: "I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good; nightmare to you!"

Bowser
(Cues: Super Mario 3D Land-Final Boss Theme)

Wiz: As a baby, King Bowser Koopa was an orphan, raised by the Magikoopa Kamek. Kamek had kidnapped Baby Luigi, and Baby Mario came along with a Yoshi to save him. Baby Bowser thought Yoshi was a donkey, and fought them so he could ride Yoshi. After losing even with Kamek's magic, the magikoopa fled along with the turtle prince. Yoshi and Baby Mario then freed Baby Luigi from Bowser's clutches.

'''Boomstick: Ever since then, Bowser has always tried to kidnap Princess Peach, yet he gets his ass kicked by those pesky plumbers every time! Regardless of his failures, Bowser is not the one to give up. No matter how many times he gets clobbered, Bowser always comes back for more!'''

Wiz: With his determination, Bowser has a huge arsenal. His abilities include fire breath, dark magic, petrification, electrokinesis, teleportation, time travel, and more.

Powers and Abilities
 * Fire Breath
 * Flaming Tunnel
 * Bowser sprouts a column of flame to harm or even trap foes
 * Flaming Boomerangs
 * Rising Hell
 * A blanket of flame that can cover entire continents
 * Fire can be orange, blue, or purple
 * Blue Fire is second hottest
 * Purple fire is hottest and can phase through solid objects
 * Fire can survive underwater, so its temperature is likely comparable to that of the sun
 * Dark Magic
 * Can turn minions into impostors of himself
 * Can turn enemies into brick
 * Can trap people in bubbles (may only be usable with the power of a Grand Star
 * Teleportation
 * Terrakinesis
 * Able to encase himself in a rock with only his head visible
 * Gravity Manipulation
 * Can alter the gravity around him with a simple roar
 * Electrokinesis
 * Petrification
 * Time Travel

(Cues: Super Mario 64-Bowser's Road)

'''Boomstick: Bowser also has a variety of special attacks, which have increased his skill even further! He has a nigh-indestructible shell, which he can hide in for extra defense, spin around in, roll into a ball, and even shoot spikes out of it like a goddamn cannon! He can even regrow these spikes immediately afterwards!'''

Attacks
 * Whirling Fortress
 * Koopa Claw
 * Claws and teeth can rarely poison victims
 * Flying Slam
 * Bowser Bomb
 * Inhale
 * Can suck in small enemies
 * Sadly not as impressive as Kirby's inhaling abilities
 * EPIC DROPKICKS!
 * Durable shell
 * Can shoot out its spikes and immediately regrow them

Wiz: Bowser has plenty of attacks where he uses his size to his advantage, including the Flying Slam, Bowser Bomb....

Boomstick: ....AND FUCKING AWESOME DROPKICKS!

Weapons
 * Koopa Clown Car
 * Can drop out Big Steelies, which are as big as the vehicle itself
 * Hammers
 * Spike Balls
 * Barrels
 * Mechakoopas
 * Bowser Mobile
 * Hurly Gloves
 * Drill Claws
 * Mario Strikers Claws
 * Minimizer Wand
 * Safety Ring

Wiz: Anyway, Bowser has a lot of weapons, such as Hammers, Spike Balls, Barrels, and Mechakoopas. A lot of these come from his personal vehicle, the Koopa Clown Car. He also rides in the Bowser Mobile, a large purple car. From that, he throws explosive soccer balls.

'''Boomstick: But that's not all! He has a few weapons which he can throw at enemies including a Chain Chomp, Spiked Link, and Chomp Shell. He has Hurly Gloves and a Drill Claw, which is used for...drilling.'''

Wiz: Bowser also has some claws that he uses for sports, as well as the Minimizer Wand, which shrinks his enemies. The Safety Ring protects Bowser from status effects, such as death curses.

(Cues: Final Boss-Phase 2-New Super Mario Bros. U)

Boomstick: Bowser has quite a few transformations that make him even deadlier!

Meowser
 * Obtained by the Cat Bell
 * Gives Bowser the look of a cat
 * Allows him to climb walls and scratch enemies
 * Can jump even higher

Wiz: Meowser, obtained by the Cat Bell, gives Bowser a "cat suit" while giving him the abilities to climb walls, scratch enemies, and jump even higher.

Giga Bowser
 * Obtained by a Smash Ball
 * Increases his size immensely
 * Allows him to freeze his enemies briefly by spinning in his shell
 * At the most, lasts a few minutes
 * Increases his durability even more

'''Boomstick: Giga Bowser increases Bowser's size by a good margin, and gives him even more elemental control. It increases his size, gives him the ability to freeze his enemies, and it increases his already insane durability! It's only downsides are that his speed isn't really increased, and it lasts for a short time, a few minutes at the most.'''

Giant Bowser
 * Obtained through many ways
 * Increases his size from just a few times to the size of a castle

Wiz: Bowser has demonstrated multiple times to be able to change his size. Sometimes he can do this naturally, but usually he requires other sources, such as Kamek's magic, or his own adrenaline in a dangerous situation. He can also grow giant with a Grand Star, but since it makes him way too powerful, we are not including it.

Dry Bowser
 * After his skin gets melted
 * Nearly unkillable
 * Can reform himself after falling apart
 * Can fall apart relatively easily
 * Can throw bones with no damage
 * Much faster than base form
 * Can also grow giant

'''Boomstick: His most impressive transformation, though, is Dry Bowser. If his skin can't take heat, he still lives, in this form. As Dry Bowser, he is nearly unkillable, and he can even reform himself if he falls apart.'''

Wiz: The only downside is that he can fall part relatively easily. Still, his durability is so insane that it would be really hard to turn him into Dry Bowser in the first place.

(Cues: New Super Mario Bros. Wii-Final Boss Theme Phase 2)

Boomstick: Even without his abilities and transformations, Bowser has an amazing amount of strength, durability, and speed.

Strength
 * Surpasses the Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong in strength
 * The Mario Bros. could lift and punt whole castles with ease and even smash neutron stars through a universe-sized black hole
 * Donkey Kong himself stated he wasn't sure he could beat Bowser, and he has been able to punch a moon out of orbit (not known if it's the same size as ours
 * Can stomp the ground hard enough to generate large shockwaves, even as a child
 * Can simply run into large stone/conrete walls and statues and shatter them
 * Intercepted a Banzai Bill with nothing but a standard baseball bat
 * During a battle with Mario in SM64, managed to destroy a good portion of the large stone platform they were in, shaping it into a star
 * Pulled an entire island to shore

Wiz: Bowser has pulled a whole island to shore, surpassed the Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong in strength, and even fought Mario and co. in a Supermassive black hole! Bowser was even going to destroy all the Dreams in the Dream Depot in Mario Party 5 and since each dream is it's own universe, Bowser in BASE FORM can wipe out multiple universes!

Speeed
 * Can outrun Mario, who can react to lightning and lasers
 * With when curled into a spiked ball, can roll across a planet in 5 seconds
 * *Reaction speed on par with Mario, who can pilot the MFTL+ Starship Mario
 * Could catch up with Rosalina's Comet Observatory

'''Boomstick: Bowser looks slow, but he's actually pretty fucking fast! He's casually kept up with Mario, who can react to lightning and lasers, and even pilot Starship Mario, which can travel across worlds in around 10 seconds! Since Lubba states that they travel through space and time to go to unknown worlds, this implies that the worlds are separate space-time continuums, or whole universes.'''

Durability
 * Regularly survives falling into lava, even if his skin gets melted off
 * Has survived falling deep into multiple black holes, and even fought inside some
 * Survived exploding castles, falling from extreme heights
 * Survived being smashed by a train
 * Survived being electrocuted
 * Survived exploding fireworks
 * Survived falling into a star and an immediately following supernova
 * Survived the destruction and rebirth of the universe in Super Mario Galaxy
 * Tanked hits from Culex, who has control over the time and space of the Mario universe

Wiz: Bowser's greatest skill is in fact his durability. He's survived huge falls, being electrocuted, explosions, black holes, the surface of a star, a supernova, and even the destruction and rebirth of the universe!

Boomstick: Sadly, even though he is a badass, Bowser has some flaws.

Weaknesses
 * Extremely arrogant
 * Despite having a surprising intellect, is rather easily tricked/gullible
 * Has a habit of underestimating his foes
 * Short-tempered'
 * Most of the traps he sets in his castle are known for backfiring against him
 * Still can be hurt by some things (such as lava on some occasions), despite being nearly impossible to kill

Wiz: Although he has an absurb IQ of 9800 in Mario Party Advance, Bowser is gullible and not much of a strategist. He's also extremely arrogant, often underestimating his opponents.

Boomstick: Still, with the durability to survive the destruction and rebirth of the universe, there's a good reason he's the King of the Koopas!

Bowser: "Did somebody just page the King of Awesome?"

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

Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLLLLLLLLLLEEE!

DEATH BATTLE!
