Interlude
Wiz: No other iconic video game hero is as iconic as Mario.

Boomstick: Mario has had his share of spin offs.

Wiz: For example, Paper Mario from the Paper Mario Series,

Boomstick: And Mario from the Mario & Luigi Series.

Wiz: For this battle there are couple rules that applies to both of the Mario.

Boomstick: No outside help, meaning Paper Mario can't use the Star Sprites, Pixals or his partners, and Mario can't use the Bros. Attacks with a exception of few.

Wiz: Mario can't use the Luiginary as that requires Luigi and the dream world, in return Paper Mario can't use stickers.

Boomstick: Since Paper Jam wasn't out by the time this was made, Anything that is new in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam won't be in this fight.

Wiz: And lastly, we'll only be using feats from the Mario & Luigi series for Mario, so no castle lifting feats here.

Boomstick: 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!

Mario
'''Boomstick:.... Do we REALLY have to do this? He's fucking MARIO! How could you NOT know about him?!'''

Wiz: Yes, we do.

(Shows them fixing the pipe in the intro of Super Mario 3D World)

Boomstick: ....Why do I fucking try.

Wiz: As we stated in the intro, Mario's limited to his skillset from Mario & Luigi, so don't expect stuff like the black hole or 30-ton benching to be anywhere.

Wiz:... That's Fawful.

-Can knock Luigi into the ground simply by hammering him

'''Boomstick: HOLY SHIT! He can do all that?'''

Wiz: And while we're on the topic, let's look at his abilities.

'''Boomstick: Like his jump attack that EVERYONE knows about. He can jump over 20 feet in the air and crush his foes...... wait, willingly crushes..... GAME THEORY WAS RIGHT!'''

Wiz: However, in Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team, Mario recived an upgrade, and now he can backflip off his foe to land a second strike.

Boomstick: In terms of defense, Mario can ALSO use his signature move to leap over and strike back when Goombas, Beanies, bosses, and my ex-wife come at him.

Jump

 *A regular jump which can go above 20 feet

 *Crushes foes under his foot

 *Can be used for defense as well as offense

 *Can hit twice

 *Horrible move on spiky foes

Wiz: Next is his favorite weapon, the yellow Ultra Hammer. Created by the Hammerhead Bros, this tool can effortlessely shatter both his opponent's skulls and even the hardest rock known to man. It can also bury people into the ground with ease.

'''Boomstick: Suck it, Diamond Sword! This bad boy is Mario's preferred weapon in sheer hand to hand aside from his fists, and he has quite the rapid spinning rate for it as well!'''

Wiz: Suprisingly true. See, the average human can swing a hammer about 2 times a second. However, if you count durimg the Chopper Bros move, Mario swings his hammer about SIX times a second. Meaning Mario is basically 3 times faster than an average man.

'''Boomstick: Well, at least when limiting him. He's WAY faster in a full compo-'''

Wiz: On topic. He can use this for defense as well, being particularly effective on flying foes.

Ultra Hammer

 *Upgraded from the Super Hammer

 *Currently Mario's weapon of choice

 *Can harm spiky foes and drive people deep in the ground

 *Can swing it about thrice as fast as an average man

 *Useful against flying foes on defense, but usless against said foes on offense

Boomstick: And his third and final offensive tool: The AWESOME Firebrand.

DEATH BATTLE!!
Wiz: All right the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!

Who do you think will win? Mario Paper Mario Mario and Luigi were walking in the middle of a ravine, looking for Bowser, who was sighted in the area. From rumors he's teamed up with a strange doppelganger of himself who was as thin as paper. Luigi looked at Mario nervously. "A-are you sure that Bowser went this way? I think we're lost." Mario was looking at a map that they bought from a shop outside the ravine.

"According to the rumors, yes. We should encounter a Warp Pipe around this corner that takes us to Bowser." Mario was right, when they turned to the corner, they encountered a red Warp Pipe that was decorated with curtains. "It certainly looks like something Bowser would do." Luigi replied, who pulled abit at the curtains, but they were glued on.

Mario jumped up onto the Warp Pipe. "Come on Luigi, let's just get this over with." Luigi hesitated for a moment, but he nods. "Y-you go first, I'll follow you right after." Mario nods in agreement and goes down into the Warp Pipe. Luigi sighed and sat next to the Warp Pipe, before pulling the curtains again, and mumbles to himself. "Who glues curtains onto a Pipe?"

At the same time, Paper Mario was doing a similar thing along with his brother, Paper Luigi. Paper Mario was pursuing Paper Bowser, who they heard had teamed up with a doppelganger of himself, though he was considerably wider than Paper Bowser. Paper Mario had found a pipe covered in curtains which were also glued onto. Paper Luigi pulls at it, to no avail as they were still glued on.

"Bro, I guess this must be it!" Paper Mario nods in agreement, and is about to jump onto the pipe. "W-wait, this might be a trap." Paper Luigi said, poking the pipe. Paper Mario makes a thinking motion, before replying. "Well, I'll go first then, stay here until I say it's ok." Paper Mario then jumps into the pipe before Paper Luigi could say anything. Paper Luigi leaned back onto the pipe.

"Man, my bro is the coolest!" Paper Luigi thinks to himself, before pulling on the curtains again. "But seriously, who glues on curtains to a Pipe?"

...

Mario lands on his feet into a darkened room, he looks around the room for a exit, and spots a door. Mario runs up to it and attempts to open it, but it was locked. Mario then is about to take out his hammer, until he hears a voice on the intercom. "Everyone with a Paper vs Flesh ticket, please enter the theater room. If you don't, oh who am I kidding everyone here has one!" Mario thought it sounded like Bowser, but it was abit more, flat than usual.

Paper Mario, who also landed in a dark room, was about to do the same as Mario once he found the door behind him. However, another voice came up on the intercom. "The Mario vs Mario show is about to begin, everyone please enter the theater if you want to see THE BEST FIGHT IN THE UNIVERSE TO HAPPEN!! If you don't, well what is wrong with you, this is a once in a life time chance to see our most hated adversaries fight and you want to waste it up by doing whatever."

Paper Mario and Mario in sync both smash their hammers into the doors, breaking them down, and they both walk out, not noticing each other as the room is still dark. Mario looks around, it looked like a...

Theater?

Paper Mario already realized what was going on once the voice came up. But Mario just realized, they were fighting to the death against someone who looked like him, but who? A flash of lights suddenly come up, making Mario and Paper Mario flinch a bit, and they look at each other. They were both confused on what was going on, but at the same time, shocked at their opponent's appearance for obvious reasons.

Two stomps are heard behind both Marios, and they both turn around to see their Bowsers. "Bowser!" They both say at the same time. Mario attempts the hit Bowser with his hammer, but it was reflected off by a force field. Paper Mario attempted to jump on him, but the same thing happened. "Hahahaha! Mario, that weak hammer won't do anything to me!" Mario ignored this and continued to attack.

Paper Mario though, after the stomp failing, stopped. "I see you recognize this power, but your look-a-like over there doesn't." Paper Mario looked into Paper Bowser's eyes, his filled with anger, while Paper Bowser's were filled with anticipation. "I'll just confirm your suspicions right here right now." Mario stops and turns around to see Paper Bowser pull out the Star Rod.

Mario was confused on what it was, but he thought that it was why he couldn't damage Bowser. "What is that?" Bowser smirked at this. "It's called the Star Rod, which can grant your wishes, all of this is thanks to that little wand." Paper Bowser nodded. "What he said. But now, your going to have to fight for your life!" Paper Mario shakes his head. "I won't fight him! And you can't force us to!"

Both Bowsers laughed, and Paper Bowser replies back along with holding up the Star Rod. "It was obvious you would say that, but you have no choice!" Paper Mario then takes out his Hammer and prepares to swing it. "NO!" Mario was about to run and stop him, but he quickly back flipped over a breath of fire and jumped onto Bowser's head.

I wish...

Paper Mario continues to hit Paper Bowser with the hammer, but to no avail. Mario then starts to run over to Paper Bowser, while at the same time he dodged blows from Bowser.

That these 2...

Paper Mario then gets a idea and holds up his hands.

Marios would hate...

Mario sees the motion, which looks like a Bros. Attack.

each other with...

Mario jumps behind Bowser.

with such a passion...

Mario jumps onto Bowser's head and bounces right into Paper Mario's arms.

that they would kill eachother...

Paper Mario bounces him up right into the Star Rod, but Paper Bowser moved his hand along with the rod out of the way, making him miss.

with only one glance...

Both Bowser's quickly retreat as the two Marios stand still. The curtains begin to fall down and millions, no, BILLIONS of people were there with seats still left. In the crowd you could even see other characters like Ness, Link, Samus, and others watching the battle. Bowser speaks on the intercom. "Everyone who is in the front should move away, it's not going to be our fault if you get stomped."

At the same time, both Marios take out their hammers and turn to each other with pure hatred in their eyes. The cheers intensify once they took out their hammers, and the voice of Bowser goes onto the intercom. "ALRIGHT!! Our combatants are ready! Now it's time..."

"FOR THE FIGHT OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!" Bowser screamed it as high as he could yell, he was that excited to see them kill eachother. Both Bowsers lean up to eachother and share the mike.
