DEATH BATTLE[]
Conclusion[]
Description[]
Paper Mario vs Archie Comics! While this rivalry has lasted for generations, one side still remains unanswered. Between the ridiculously overpowered versions of Mario and Sonic, who will win?
Interlude[]
Counter: Mario.
Kaiya: Sonic.
Damien: Damien!
Hannah: ...Right. While these two have been at each other's throats for years, one debate still stands the test of time. Two overpowered versions of the characters we all know and love, known for pulling off the impossible, literally.
Counter: Paper Mario, the strongest Mario.
Kaiya: And Archie Sonic, the fastest Sonic!
Damien: In this battle, Mario will have access to the Pure Heart shown in Super Paper Mario for the Wii!
Hannah: But he won't have access to any of his partners.
Counter: I'm Counter and these are my partners, Damien, Kai and Hannah!
Kaiya: And we've taken over from Wiz and Boomstick to analyse the two's weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Paper Mario[]
Counter: I’m sure we all know who Super Mario is, the saviour of the Mushroom Kingdom, Star Child and hero from birth, but what about his paper counterpart? Aptly named...Paper Mario.
Kaiya: Gee, real creative. Hailing from a magical book, Paper Mario wasn’t much different than his 3D version. He saved Princess Peach, foiled Bowser, and put a stop to his plans time and time again.
Damien: But there was a small difference...Paper Mario wasn’t just overpowered by Bowser, he was nearly killed by him. Yeahhh, Paper Mario is a little different than regular Mario, this isn’t just “Oh, happy man saves princess.”. Prepare for some dark, dark themes.
Hannah: But his journey largely remains the same. With his power, friendships and weaponry, he was always able to eventually put a stop to whatever the Koopa King was planning.
Counter: While regular Mario has always been a powerhouse, Paper Mario straight-up embraces it! This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Mario, no. He’s Mario...but much, much stronger.
Kaiya: His most famous and basic attack is the Jump. And...well, just like regular Mario, he stomps on a foe to crush them under his weight, but it’s not effective against enemies with spikes. Yeah, no shit!
Damien: But he can amplify his jumps with Stickers or Battle Cards, using them to create devastating combos with ease! With the Iron Jump, he can jump on spiked enemies with no ill effects, with the Hopslipper, he can jump on an enemy 10 times, with the Line Jump, he can hit multiple enemies in one go and with the Spin Jump he can drill enemies to do massive damage, spiked or not!
Hannah: With things like the Clone Jump, he spawns three other Marios to jump on enemies with and he can use the almighty Infinijump to hit someone a total of 100 times. These Stickers and Battle Cards can all be amplified with variants such as Flashy Stickers, Shiny Stickers or the powerful Megaflash Stickers.
Counter: With Hammers, Mario can devastate an opponent with a blunt attack, bypassing the spikes on an enemy altogether...but it doesn’t do well on opponents that can fly. But, like, come on! Just jump to get out higher, you’ve already proven you can!
Kaiya: But what sets the Hammer apart from the Jump is that some Hammers can apply many status effects on people. With the Burnhammer he fires out a massive burst of flames, with the Chillhammer, he can freeze enemies solid and with the Baahammer, he-hahaha! He-(laughing).
Damien: Uhhh, you okay?
Kaiya: Yeah, sorry. It’s just that...what kind of a stupid name is Baahammer?! Well, with it, Mario can send foes to sleep, literally!
Damien: Using the Slaphammer, Mario sends enemies bouncing across the screen, with the Hurlhammer, he turns his Hammer into a Frisbee that never comes back, and the K.O Hammer hits opponents with an ultra-powerful hit bound to devastate anyone who tries to oppose him!
Hannah: But just because this Mario is made of paper doesn't mean he doesn't have the standard Mario weapons. Mushrooms, flowers, suits, tails and everything in between. With Fire Flowers, Mario's outfit gets a new Smash palette swap and allows him to shoot fireballs out of his hands, reducing anyone to ashes with ease.
Counter: If used against an ice enemy, the flames do extra damage, or they can heal enemies made of fire. Conversely, the Ice Flower freezes enemies solid, and he has plenty of other Mario power-ups as attacks as well. He can use a Tail to whip enemies and deflect attacks, dodge them with the Frog Suit if timed well, use the Mushroom to heal his health, or even use the Leaf to perfectly dodge, attack and react to attacks!
Kaiya: They may or may not be expensive as well, so if Mario ever needs some extra cash...
Damien: Anyway! While most of these are Stickers or Battle Cards, to say that these are all of Mario's attacks would be ignoring a huge chunk of Paper Mario's lore! With badges, he can do crazy things! With the D-Down Jump, Mario bypasses you durability and defence to jump on you with a powerful stomp.
Hannah: The same happens with the Piercing Blow, but with a hammer instead of a jump, but stay seated, some of these badges get crazy. Picture this: You're at the end of the battle, it's an enemies turn, and they have full health. You, however, are on death's door. Your foe draws their fist back and fires it forwards...only to miss by inches. The Close Call badge makes that a reality. Whenever it's vital, enemies may miss attacks.
Counter: The Feeling Fine badge protects Mario from almost all status effects, Happy Heart automatically and slowly regains Mario's health in a duel, HP Drain reduces his attack power but he regains health every time he attacks an enemy.
Kaiya: And with things like Return Postage, foes will take half the damage they deal to Mario, shrink people by jumping on them with the Shrink Stomp and the Zap Tap electrifies Mario and allows him to shock anyone by touching them!
Damien: Ice Power protects Mario from fiery attacks, Last Stand reduces the damage Mario takes if he's in critical condition and Spike Shield protects Mario from anything spiked, allowing him to easily bypass those boring as hell desert levels!
Hannah: But perhaps Mario's greatest ability isn't his badges, but his body. Due to being made of paper, Mario can fold his body into things such as aeroplanes to glide across large gaps, turn his body and become paper-thin to pass through tiny gaps or even into a tube to roll under low gaps. Oh, and he can completely bypass that whole 'water is bad for paper' thing by turning himself into a boat to sail across the seas.
Counter: Mario has saved the world, universe and heck, multiverse with his abilities, so maybe it is, in fact, Mario's creative body type that allows him to do such monumental feats...
(silence, then laughter from all 4 of the hosts)
Counter: Ahhhh, no, it's because of the Pure Hearts. Created by the Tribe of Ancients, the Pure Hearts are one of the most powerful artefacts in the Mario canon, equal in power to the Chaos Heart and one of the most astounding forces known to man.
Kaiya: And being equal to the Chaos Heart is no small feat. The Chaos Heart could summon the Void, an extra-dimensional attack that would literally destroy all dimensions, worlds and universes if Mario couldn't stop it.
Damien: Woah! And this isn't some one-off statement that holds no meaning. Count Bleck and Tippi specifically talk about destroying everything, and making sure that the worlds never existed at all.
Hannah: And it's clear that Count Bleck does hold the Chaos Heart in the battle, and due to Tippi's statement of 'destroying everything' and the previously mentioned Void that literally erases every world, dimension and universe, it's likely neither were exaggerating nor bluffing.
Counter: What's even more impressive is that with the Pure Hearts at their side, Mario and co. survived the Void's effects, even though they were briefly knocked unconscious. It's even granted the heroes enough power to defeat Super Dimentio. How strong is Super Dimentio, you ask? Well, buckle up, boys and girls, it gets crazy.
Kaiya: All of this is mind-boggling to think about, but we've just touched the tip of the iceberg! Paper Mario is insane! With the Pure Hearts, he can survive Super Dimentio's relentless attacks, who would have destroyed the multiverse if he wasn't stopped, as stated before! He can survive being blasted into the moon, an impact worth about 1.7 megatons of TNT.
Damien: Which means Mario is seriously tough, but he's also super fast! He's superior to Lord Crump, who was somehow able to return from being blasted into deep space in a short time, mere hours at the very worst, solidly faster than light.
Counter: Even assuming a low estimate such as Lord Crump returning from Proxima Century - the closest star to the Sun - in the span of 5 hours still means that Lord Crump would have to be moving at 7438 times the speed of light. That's crazy!
Hannah: But there is also an argument to be made that Paper Mario's speed is immeasurable. The argument supports this by saying that the Void would destroy everything. Every timeline, every universe and every dimension, which would include the laws of time and space. Since it doesn't follow the conventional aspects of 'near' and 'far', putting it at a higher-dimensional order.
Counter: And since the characters can survive and resist the Void for extended periods of time, the argument states that they should scale off of it, which would put Paper Mario at these types of speeds. Paper Mario was also able to move in areas the Void has affected.
Kaiya: And with this insane amount of power and speed, the Pure Hearts also allow users to heal, shatter barriers as powerful as the Chaos Heart and form the Pure Hearts into the Purity Heart, capable of undoing all the damage the Chaos Heart brought.
Damien: Even with all of Paper Mario's power, without the Pure Hearts he is much weaker and less tough than the normal Mario and he, like Mario, is also reckless and impulsive. Gotta remember him jumping on top of Bowser's head even when he was empowered by Royal Stickers.
Hannah: And he is still made of paper. He can fold or crumple sometimes if hit with extraordinary force and takes more damage from fire and fiery attacks then others. But still, even when made of paper, Mario is a force to be reckoned with.
("Mario, I know all about your adventures around the world. You've been everywhere! And you always get the best of the bad guys. Everytime! You're the coolest! I wanna be just like you!")
Archie Sonic[]
Counter: Mobius. While this planet looks unrecognisable, it is actually our beloved Earth. Far, far into the distant future. Populated by the Xorda, Mobius was initially targeted for a peace treaty, but since humans are just the worst, they decided to use them as science experiments to help produce technology for Doctor Ivan Kintobor, an ancestor to the one and only Doctor Robotnik.
Kaiya: Yeah...The Xorda weren't too happy about that, as you may have guessed. In retaliation, The Xorda planted Gene Bombs across the globe, aiming to exterminate the human race. While the humans did try and build cities underground to be safe from the bombs, there was an...unexpected mutation.
Damien: The now four-fingered humans became the Overlanders, and by mixing with human DNA, the animal kingdom evolved into the famous Mobians, the new dominant species of Mobius.
Hannah: But war broke out between the Mobians and the Overlanders, with the Mobians...well, totally destroying the Overlanders , if I'm being honest. Knowing they were outmatched, the Overlanders turned to their greatest scientist, the one and only Doctor Ivo Robotnik, also known as Eggman.
Counter: Dr. Robotnik launched an invasion against Mobotropolis, changed the name and turned two parents into robots for Eggman's army. These parents had a son, who goes by the name...Sonic.
Kaiya: Or Sonic Oglivie Maurice Hedgehog, if you're into that. Anyway, distraught at the death of his parents. He joined the fight against Robotnik and teamed up with the Freedom Fighters...who fought for...freedom...
Damien: Until they were defeated and Sonic had to make his own Freedom Fighter with his friends, but he needed some extreme power, blitzing speed and breathtaking defence in order to complete his mission. Fortunately for Sonic, he had these things and cranked them up to a billion!
Hannah: Sonic was always fast, but in this universe, light speed is slow. Sonic can scoop up water, form it into a ball before the laws of displacement could take effect and launched it towards one of Robotnik's robots. He did this in 0.0000000000001 seconds, or 100 attoseconds.
Counter: But that's just the tip of the iceberg. He can use the Spin Dash to become a beyblade, able to rip through robots and enemies with ease, use the Super Peel Out to reach top speed instantly, and the Boost to surround himself in blue energy to gain some extra speed.
Kaiya: Woah-ho-ho! Yeah, Archie Sonic is 'only a little different than his game counterpart'. He's fast enough to create afterimages of himself, create tornadoes, and by running around people, he can cut off their oxygen or put out flames! Look at this! He can even use the Whirlwind Spin to send people flying into the air!
Damien: He's fast enough to phase through objects, or even cut a hole in the ground for people to walk through! He can weaponise his speed and use it to navigate between raindrops and dodge lightning!
Hannah: Sonic is just crazy. As an example, he can move through stopped time. Literally. Time was stopped, and he could still move around. There is no scientific way to measure this kind of speed. In layman's terms, Sonic's speed is immeasurable.
Counter: I know you must be wondering how he does these things, and it's by utilizing the power of chaos itself. The Chaos Force, as it's known as, is an infinite dimension of energy that manifests itself in the Archie universe as emeralds and rings, and Sonic loves to collect them. By using just one emerald, he can use Chaos Control to stop time, open portals through space and manipulate matter to an absurd degree.
Kaiya: He can even teleport! And remember, this is just with one emerald! If he gets all 7, his fur turns yellow as he takes a bite out of Dragon Ball and transforms into the unstoppable Super Sonic! He's totally invincible, and he doesn't even have a time limit, although he can overwork himself and be forced out of his super form!
Damien: As Super Sonic, he can shape entire worlds, turn intangible, shape his Chaos Energy in the form of barriers and attacks, erase people from existence with ease, seal people inside Chaos Emeralds and even counter any evil with a sort of passive holiness.
Hannah: Along with near infinite speed and increased strength and durability. When Enerjak, a guy who can rip people into mere molecules, tried to do so to Super Sonic...he couldn't, which attests to the monumental power that Super Sonic grants his...victims.
Counter: But this is still not even close to Sonic's full power. Remember the Power Rings we mentioned earlier? Yeah, well, by collecting enough of the two he can even turn into the even more powerful Ultra Sonic. Ultra Sonic focuses more on expanding on Sonic's powers then increasing their power, although that really isn't saying much!
Kaiya: Ultra Sonic is just ridiculous! He can control the bonds between atoms, literally manipulating matter to change its makeup, allowing him to do things like turn air to water, opening portals through space-time, manipulate the elements and even match the temperatures of a desert or a frozen tundra.
Damien: With his Chaos magic, Ultra Sonic can do incredible things. Things like increasing your physical ability, granting wishes, and supplying new knowledge, but let me repeat: Ultra Sonic can grant wishes. He can turn back time, reverse mind control and brainwashing, revive the dead and rewrite the multiverse's reality with a chaos beam! Wh-What?! That's awesome!
Hannah: If he wants to, he can even send you to the Zone of Silence, a dimension where prisoners have their vibrations deteriorate until they lose their powers and die. But, before we go on, there's still one last, vital power we must discuss. Fate itself.
Counter: After collecting 1 billion Power Rings, Sonic was gifted a sort of...protective aura around him by three Chaos gods, and this thing is just...just broken.
Kaiya: This beaut protects both Sonic's body and mind from destruction, and it's always on. There's no switch or command, it just always surrounds him, protecting him, and protect him it does! The One Billionth Power Ring's aura preserves Sonic's life force from being destroyed, such as when the Ultimate Annihilator vaporised him, and he returned in no time!
Damien: It even bends fate towards him. The aura changes the probability of his death, pretty much preventing his own death time and time again. It can replenish stolen speed, nullify opponent's own magic, and it helped him deroboticize when Nicole restored his free will after being turned into a robot.
Hannah: But while we've talked about Sonic's speed, and his powers, he's still an immense powerhouse. After using his momentum to reverse a black hole generator with only his speed, which imploded and blasted Sonic 849,000 light years away, a blast worth about 5 trillion tons of TNT.
Counter: He's able to withstand multiple hits from Enerjak, who could harm the Ancient Walkers, who are one with the Chaos Force. You know, the extra-dimensional, infinite realm of energy? He's even survived a hit from the Time Ray!
Kaiya: He's also super strong, able to contend with Ixis Naugus in a duel, who created the whole Zone of Silence itself. Speaking of Zones, which are the names of universes in the Archie Sonic worlds, Sonic and Knuckles once clashed at the speed of light and destroyed a zone!
Damien: Ah, but don't take that out of context! Not all Zones are universes, and some may be tinier pocket dimensions. Later panels show us that the Zone wasn't really that impressive compared to some others, but remember, 'not impressive' in Archie Comics is still incredible!
Hannah: He's faced off against his superior, Metal Sonic, and has shrugged off attacks from him. He's fought against Scourge the Hedgehog, and helped Mega Man beat God Sigma=3, who played with galaxies like they were bouncy balls.
Counter: And Sonic's speed goes far beyond what we mentioned before. He can run across the Cosmic Interstate, essentially pathways through the multiverse twice in a single day and his speed alone is fast enough to move time forwards, and in that same panel we see Sonic outrun the Time Ray itself. Let me repeat: Sonic outran a beam made of time itself.
Kaiya: Unfortunately for Sonic, his One Billionth Power Ring aura only works in the Prime Zone, similar to Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet. Super Sonic can still be harmed by people on his level or even higher. Invincible doesn't mean he's immune to pain entirely.
Damien: And we have to remember that Sonic is only about 17, like Kai!
Hannah: And as such, he has the cockiness, arrogance and taunts way too frequently in a fight...Kind of like Kai.
Kaiya: Hey!
Counter: But still, Archie Sonic is one of the most ridiculous, powerful and absurd characters in comic history. He has no business being as powerful as he is, but he isn't called the Fastest Thing Alive for nothing.
("I won't stop until I've saved everyone you've captured! I'll never stop until I've honored the sacrifices of everyone who's fallen along the way! And I won't be through until I've kicked your flabby behind once and for all! So you just keep pushin' me, doc! I'll push right back!")
Intermission[]
Counter: Alright, the combatants are set. You guys ready to do this?
Damien: Yeah!
Kaiya: Count me in!
Hannah: Of course.
Counter: Then it's time...FOR A DEATH BATTLE!
Death Battle[]
In the middle of the town of Scrapburg, many Toads with red, blue, yellow and even green polka-dots were setting up telescopes and aiming them up at the sky. This night, the legendary Clover Comet was scheduled to fly past. This wasn't some ordinary comet, though. If the comet thought you to be pure at heart for that year, it would grant you a year's worth of good fortune, which many held close.
Conversely, if the comet deemed you to have an evil spirit, you'd be cursed with bad luck. The toad's at the town square were conversing, sharing their excitement, anxiety, fear and everything in between. A yellow Toad told a joke to a blue Toad, who was doubled-over in laughter. The comet was incredibly picky. Its record for the most people blessed was about 146 across the entire population.
"I can't wait for the Clover Comet! I feel like I've been really good!" Cried one of the Toads, clapping their hands together in pure anticipation.
"I think I'll get one for sure!" One of the other Toads replied, before turning to the other. "What do you think, Mario?" The plumber, dressed in red and blue with a cap held a hand to his chin wordlessly, in deep thought. This was Paper Mario, defender of Scrapburg.
"Oh, what am I saying? Of course you'll get it, Mario!" Smiling, Mario nodded his head happily, reminiscing on the many times he saved the world from complete annihilation. Even if cursed with bad luck, no-one could resist the bright green trail the comet painted in the sky, lingering for a day, maybe more.
Across the town square, Luigi, also made of paper, called out to his brother, waving frantically. Waving a quick goodbye to the Toads, Mario ran towards his brother, who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Hey, bro! I can't wait for this year's comet, can you? It's going to be so beautiful!" Mario nodded as affirmation, but he just couldn't shake the feeling that...that something was off. Maybe Luigi felt it himself, or maybe he read Mario like a book, because his smile faltered slightly before he continued talking. "I sure hope that no-one comes to crash the party, y'know?"
"Hey, boys!" The two brothers turned to the princess herself, as she walked up to them with a smile on her face. As the three began to talk, the sun started to set, casting an orange blanket around the skies, giving off a warm, almost relaxing glow over the town.
"Come on, Eggman! Step it up!" Yelled a blue hedgehog, as he dug his shoes into the ground to slow his momentum. High above him, the tyrannical robotics master himself glared down at the hedgehog, growling ever so slightly.
"You want me to step it up? Fine!" With a cackle, Eggman slammed his fist into a button, glowing red and labelled 'PRESS ONLY TO DESTROY SONIC'. From below his aircraft, two giant, mechanical legs emerged from the vehicle and slammed into the ground, cracking it from the power. gasping slightly, Sonic flashed a quick thumbs-up, before turning and blasting off at full speeds instantly.
"Oh, no you don't, Sonic!" Eggman cried, pointing forwards with what almost seemed like...a form of lust? Regardless, the robot bounded towards the hedgehog, piloted by the scientist. Each step threw Sonic off of the ground, but he never lost his footing.
"Eggman, it's a school night! Tell me your plan so we can all go home!" Sonic called up at the scientist, who cackled madly.
"My plans are always flawless! They always fall apart due to bad luck, so what better way to fix this problem than with a comet that specifically grants luck?"
"Huh?!" Grunting with confusion, Sonic's mind kicked into overdrive. "But-But nothing like that exists!" Laughing once more, Eggman corrected him with a wag of his finger.
"Maybe not in this universe!"
"Oh no..." Gasping, Sonic glared up at the rotund scientist. What a fiendish plan! he was going to invade a universe just for some luck?
It was now night at Scrapburg, stars, like fireflies almost seemed to dance around the sky, the Moon casting a heavy glow upon everyone's faces. The voices were now hushed whispers, as everyone waited. Sitting down, Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach stared up and into the sky, waiting for the Comet's arrival.
At the outskirts of the city, a portal erupted into existence from thin air, as a spherical flying vehicle burst out, a blue hedgehog following suit. Momentarily thrown off by the darkness of the town they now seemed to be in, Sonic jogged behind Eggman, who was flying towards the town square.
Mario heard a gasp, followed by a shrill voice. "There it is!" The Toads jumped to their feet, Luigi clapped his hands with joy, and Mario stared up at the sky in awe, observing the sky, waiting for a flash of green...
Well, he saw a flash of green, but not the type of green he wanted. Bowser, flying in his Clown Car was laughing evilly, his son, Bowser Jr. following suit next to him. Gasping, Mario's fists clenched, as he looked around for a way upwards. He looked to his left, nothing. He looked to his right...Luigi.
Tapping Luigi on the shoulder, Mario began to desperately point towards the Clown Car, and jump at the same time. For a second, Luigi thought he had gone mad, but soon understood.
"Oh! You want me to give you a boost! Climb up, bro!" Smiling, the red-clad plumber jumped on his brothers head, who grunted with the pain slightly, but gave a thumbs-up nonetheless. "Ready? Three....two...O-Woah!" As Luigi reached 'one', a streak of blue barrelled into him, sending both spiralling into the grass.
Brushing himself off, Mario looked around for the newcomer, and found him climbing out of a bush, with his unconscious brother lying on the ground next to the hedgehog.
Next to Bowser, Eggman in his vehicle was flying high above the air. Angrily, Sonic clapped a fist into his hand, glaring daggers into the two villains.
"Keep calm, princess, I'll take care of it!" Sonic yelled out, as Mario rushed to his side. Out of the corner of his eye, Sonic spied the plumber take a place next to him, and scoffed ever so slightly. "You too, princess."
Angrily, Mario took a few steps backwards, seemingly observing his surroundings. Smirking, Sonic glanced back up towards Bowser and Eggman, opening his mouth to say something, but before he could get it out, Mario bounced off of his head, launching himself up and into the air.
Pulling out a hammer, Mario rose higher, and higher into the air. He raised it above his head, but before he could slam it back down, a swift slash to the chest by Bowser sent him hurtling back down to the ground, plowing right into Sonic in the process.
"That's it, tubby!" Sonic growled, getting to his feet swiftly. Without warning, Sonic twisted on his heels and released a fist, throwing it towards the plumber, but Mario was able to raise a hammer to meet the fist, preventing it from reaching its target. Eyes closed, Sonic let his arms drop to his sides, before turning and releasing a devastating combo of punches raining down on the plumber.
Well, that's what would have happened if Mario didn't block every single attack with his hammer. Groaning, Sonic raised his fists, staring right into Mario's eyes, his small, black, beady eyes.
"This is gonna be good!" Bowser chortled.
"Mario, don't!" Cried Luigi.
FIGHT!
One second they were there, the next they were gone. Poof. They disappeared in a flash of blue, stunning Luigi and Bowser, who simply stared at the place the two fighters were before, speechless. At speeds beyond measuring, Sonic released punch after punch into Paper Mario, who shielded his head with his arms. The attacks were doing less than what they would if Mario's wasn't guarding himself, but every one of Sonic's punches released a shock wave into the town, forests and buildings around them.
Grunting, Sonic pushed Mario off of him, who spiralled into the ground swiftly rolling away from the blue hedgehog, dust and dirt flew into the air as Mario rolled, slowly coming to a stop in front of a tree. Shaky, Mario got to his feet, raising his arms in a fighting pose, glaring at Sonic.
"Woah, he's fine after that? Who is this guy?" Sonic asked himself, observing the plumber, who seemed to be just fine. Rushing in for another attack, Sonic drew his fist back, as Mario drew his hammer. Holding it behind his head, he waited for the right moment to strike...any minute now...
"Hyah!" This came with Sonic's punch, as he threw his fist forwards. Responding quickly, Mario swung his hammer down. Fist and hammer collided, but Sonic didn't bring his hand back. Instead, he looked up at Mario and smirked. His fist began to vibrate, so much so that it became a white blur on the hammer's head.
The fist was vibrating at such speeds that it phased right through the hammer, plunging into the stomach of the flabbergasted Mario. With a blow that knocked the leaves of the trees, Mario rocketed backwards, plowing through the trunk of the tree. Groaning, Mario buried his hammer into the ground, slowing his velocity enough to stop in the middle of the field. Eyes widened ever so slightly, Sonic was left to wonder how in the world Mario survived his attacks.
Smiling, Mario made a small hand gesture, one that clearly stated 'Come at me!', and Sonic obliged. Rushing forwards, Sonic's fists vibrated at similar speeds to what they did before. However, this time, Mario planted his feet into the ground and leaped up into the air.
Skidding to a halt, Sonic glanced up at Mario in surprise. Man, he could jump. Silently, Mario pointed his feet towards Sonic's head and started to descend. Gasping, Sonic twisted around and tried to run, but he tried too late. Mario's feet planted into his skull, knocking him to the ground in an attack that broke the ground, a crater cracking open around the hedgehog, who was writhing in pain.
Critical Hit!
Silently thanking his D-Down Jump badge, Mario didn't give Sonic any time to respond, instead swinging a hammer downwards, crashing into his back hard enough to topple the trees surrounding him. Letting out another scream, Sonic kicked outwards, connecting with Mario's face and sending him backwards.
"Seriously! How is this guy doing this?" He groaned, spying the plumber a few metres away from him, hands clenching into fists. Jumping to his feet, Sonic smirked, before beginning to run around Mario, a blur blue, almost solid, surrounded the plumber, as the air inside started to leave. Slowly suffocating, Mario dropped to his feet, silently coughing. "Let's wrap this up, I got stuff to do!" Similar to the quip he hurled at Eggman, Sonic taunted his opponent, who was weakly raising their hammer.
"Wah!" Paper Mario exclaimed with determination, slamming the mallet into the ground at full force. A shockwave, light blue and yellow, burst out from the epicentre of the hit, barrelling into Sonic and knocking him off his feet. The oxygen returned to Mario's body quicker than Sonic could run, almost hurtling the plumber to his feet.
Flashing a quick thumbs-up, Mario rushed forwards, reaching into his overalls, only to pull out...a light blue hammer? Scratching his head, Sonic had to wonder how deep his pockets were, but he couldn't wonder for long. Rushing at speeds faster than comprehension, the plumber swung his hammer, burying it in his side.
The hit from the Slaphammer was enough to hurl Sonic through the air, high up into the sky, past the forest, past the desert. Screaming, Sonic tried to desperately right himself in the air, but it was no use. Far below the flying hedgehog, Mario was darting between Goombas, Koopas and everything in between, pulling out a flaming Burnhammer. The Burnhammer cast a yellow glow on the trees, illuminating his path with flame.
"I-I'll show you!" Sonic yelled out, a Chaos Emerald clutched in his hands. Finally, Sonic started to descend, but he wasn't in pain anymore, nor was he screaming out in fear. He was ready. Mario could see a faint blue object falling towards the ground kilometres away from him. Quickening his pace, Mario didn't take his eyes of the hedgehog, ready to catch him right before he hit the floor.
Winding the hammer back, Mario's hands were surrounded in flames, gripping the hammer tightly. Mere milliseconds before Mario swung his arms, Sonic held out the emerald, screeching out into the sky.
"Chaos Control!" In a flash of green, time froze. The Chaos Control stopped him before he hit the ground, allowing him to softly land on the ground, unharmed. Smirking, Sonic observed the frozen plumber, anger burning in his brain, eating away his rationale. Fists clenched, Sonic drew his arms back, before slamming them into Mario at incalculable speeds. Punch after punch, Sonic rained millions of blows down upon Mario in no time at all, literally.
"Come on, step it up!" He taunted, pacing around Mario at high speed, occasionally releasing kick or punch onto his body. The sheer kinetic energy coming from the blue blur was carving a sinkhole around the plumber, the ground would crack the second time resumed. "Hey dude, watch out!" He cried sarcastically, clicking his fingers.
And so, time flows again. With a yell, Mario swung his Burnhammer, only to hit...nothing but air. Shocked, he stared at Sonic, who was metres back, almost like he was never harmed in the first place. What shocked Mario the most, however, was how Sonic was waving at him with a smile on his face.
A loud cracking noise entered Mario's ears, distracting him from the hedgehog. With a crumbling, the ground beneath him gave way, but he didn't get time to even be afraid. At that moment, millions of punches and kicks, from seemingly nothing, rained down upon him. Attacked from both sides! A soundless scream left Mario's mouth, his fingers slipped away from the hammer, which fell down the hole, almost pitifully.
The blows kept Mario hovering in the air, each punch echoing through the forest. Each tree had been stripped from their leaves, now sad branches waving with the wind, as if to say goodbye to Mario as well.
Yelling, Mario followed the hammer, falling down the hole, and into the darkness. Mario's superior weight to his hammer allowed him to catch up to it quickly. His hands clutched the hammer and held it close to him, a billion plans flashing in his head, each of them futile.
Putting his hammer away and pulling out an album full of stickers, Mario tried to desperately find a Sticker that would help him. Swiftly flicking through the pages, eyes scanning each Sticker. Worn-Out Jump, no...Baahammer? Hardly. Infinijump? Maybe, but he'd need it for more important things. The ground was rising, getting closer and closer, who scanned the book even quicker.
Then he saw it, the Megaflash Hopslipper! Peeling the sticker off, Mario's boots transformed into green slippers, a spring occupying the bottom of the soles. Paddling in the air, Mario started to slowly float towards the wall, outstretching his arms to claw at the wall.
As he got closer, Mario planted his feet into the wall and pushed off, bouncing higher into the air. As he reached a part of the wall higher up, Mario planted his feet and jumped higher once more. Each time he reached a new part of the wall. The light in the hole was getting brighter as Mario got closer.
7 jumps, 8 jumps, 9 jumps! On the ninth jump, Mario poked his head out of the sinkhole Sonic created, staring his blue foe in the eyes. The hedgehog was rendered speechless, as he watched Mario leap out of the hole, pointing at him.
"What the-?!" Sonic gasped, taking a small step back, but he wasn't down for the count, he had more tricks up his sleeve. Chuckling mischievously, the Blue Blur started to run around the Paper Plumber, the wind condensed into something...almost tangible, the pressure holding Mario in place, unable to move in any direction. Slamming into his body, the wind started to fly under his body, the pressure pushing the plumber upwards.
"Safe flight! Keep your arms and feet inside the ride at all times!" The wind lifted Mario into the air, waving his arms in terror, a look of surprise and dread on his face. With a 'whoosh!' Mario was dragged high into the air, his paper makeup definitely assisting with the lift. Smirking, Sonic stopped running in circles, instead changing his direction to run right towards the tree. While every other hero would slam into the tree, Sonic ran up the trunk, the smirk still plastered on his face.
"Ha!" He cried, pushing off the tree and curling into a blue, spiked ball, cutting through the air with his velocity alone. The spikes sliced into the plumber's chest, followed by a mean uppercut that blasted Mario further into the air. Landing on his feet and skidding across the ground to stop, Sonic twisted around to watch his paper foe.
Suddenly, Mario's arms folded into his body, his body as a whole folded in half, shocking the hedgehog out of his fur. The plumber's body was being mutilated, distorted and creased into something else altogether, a paper plane. The plane floated down from the ground at hypersonic speeds, the pointed end aimed right for Sonic's head. Stunned, the hedgehog didn't react to the plane smashing right into his eyes, blinding him.
Crying out in pain, Sonic held his hands over his eyes, giving Mario ample time to unfold and pull out a hammer with a snowball at the end, the Chillhammer. With a grunt, Mario slammed the hammer into Sonic's back, a wave of cold air rushing over his body. Ice crept over the blur blur's back, immobilising him, but Mario wasn't done. Immediately after the impact, Mario pulled out the Burnhammer, and, using his momentum from the previous swing, smashed it into Sonic's spine with an impact that toppled every tree nearby.
Screaming, Sonic's burning body crashed into the ground, but before he could recover, Mario stomped on his head. And again. And again. Every time Sonic looked up, another pair of brown boots slammed into his head and knocked him to the ground, over and over until the task became tedious for the both of them.
There were almost 100 jumps before Sonic had finally had enough. With a scream, he blasted Mario away with a flash of gold, a crater forming underneath him, as his blue fur took on its now golden appearance. Smirking, he raised his fists into a fighting position, as Mario struggled to recover.
"Now I'll show you!" Growled Sonic, charging forwards at blitzing speeds, crashing into Mario and sending him flying backwards. Yelling, Mario slammed through a tree, landing on his back and shaking with the pain slightly. A look of fury was etched onto the hedgehog's face, but it still had an air of cockiness to it. Scoffing, he charged forwards, drawing his fist back, power building up in his hand.
"Hi...yah!" Sonic screamed, throwing his fist forwards. At that exact moment, Mario threw his arms up, guarding his face. The fist and forearm collided, in a shock wave that blasted them both backwards.
Meanwhile, in Scrapburg, the Clover Comet burned high above the clouds, a green trail, almost like an emerald snake, coiled out from behind it, lighting the sky up in its dance. The citizens, Toads, Goombas, Koopas, even Bowser and Eggman were absolutely mesmerized, many held the good luck tight, some crossed their fingers, and yet still others closed their eyes and stuck out their tongue at the same time.
Over the awed ambiance, Peach, Luigi and the villains could hear the distant grunts from an adolescent hedgehog, and the cried from a joyful plumber. They could feel all the shockwaves Mario and Sonic caused, some almost being blown away. One final grunt, before, flying through the trees like a bolt of lightning, Sonic crashed into the Koopa Clown Car, plowed right through it before finally finding his home into Eggman's stomach. Seemingly, too fast.
BOOM!
In an explosion of red, Eggman, along with his vehicle, exploded from the kinetic energy of Sonic smashing into them. Screaming, Bowser and the smoking Clown Car started to fall to Earth, cursing Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom. His scream was cut off by a small explosion.
Mario, dressed in white and red, jumped from the trees and threw his hands forwards, a wave of heat bursting from them. Almost like a reverse fire hydrant, flames sprayed out of Mario's hands and rocketed towards Super Sonic, who dodged the flames by inches, the heat almost singing the tips of his fur. Just as he was contemplating the narrow escape, a fireball exploded on his chest, burning his body and caused Sonic to scream in pain, floating backwards. However, he recovered quickly, smirking.
Once a new wave of flames burst towards him, Sonic flew right towards them, instead of literally any other way. His body was vibrating at an insane velocity, smiling at the plumber with his mouth open, screaming a silent battle cry. As the flames met the hedgehog, the yellow and red enveloped him, but Sonic was unaffected. The flames simply seemed to pass through him, as if he were never there.
Sonic phased past the flames and through Mario, reforming back to tangibility behind the plumber, drawing his fist back. Before he could, Mario pulled out his Hammer and swung it behind him, forcing Sonic to abandon his plan and instead raise his arm to block the hammer before it could hit him. The hammer and arm collided, and with one swift motion, Sonic drew his hand back and re-planted it into the back of Mario's head.
Screaming, Mario's body crumpled, literally. His paper form crumpled up, preventing his movement, freezing him in place. With a chuckle, Sonic readjusted his glove, before attacking. He delivered 10,000 blows in less than a second, crumpling Mario up even more. Every punch turned Mario into an even more helpless mess, but Mario wasn't down yet.
His torso started to shine, forcing Sonic backwards and raising Mario slightly higher, allowing him to uncrumple within seconds. Taking his opportunity, Mario slammed his hammer upwards, connecting with Sonic's chin and launching him up further.
Great!
Following the hedgehog, Mario jumped up further to meet him, pulling out a new, metal hammer. He didn't stop to consider his options, as he threw the hammer directly towards Sonic, catching him in the nose and forcing him backwards, blood leaked out of his nose as he groaned.
Excellent!
He can even keep up with Super Sonic! What makes him this strong? Sonic pondered, breathing heavily and eyeing Mario cautiously. He had a plan. He wouldn't try and overpower Mario, he'd just tire him out before delivering the final blow. With a smirk, Sonic let his arms drop, and signalled for Mario to attack. The plumber rose to the challenge, charging forwards, holding his hammer high.
"Chaos help me now!" Sonic yelled, envisioning the Chaos around himself, he saw Mario coming closer, a glint of anger in his eyes. Using all of his concentration, Sonic threw the Chaos out in front of him, creating a barrier around himself. Mario swung his hammer downwards, only to clash against the Chaos barrier, stopping him in place. Thrown off, Mario swung again, trying to break through the barrier.
He wasn't expecting this. From inside the barrier, Sonic waved at him, laughing to himself as he watched Mario's hammer bounce off the barrier, time and time again. The plumber even tried to jump on the barrier, but that did nothing as well. They were at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere, on the line between flying and floating. Moving backwards, Mario closed his eyes. Putting his hammer away, Mario raised his hands into the air, as Sonic watched, arrogance clouding his judgement.
From his raised hands, 8 hearts, all different colours and glowing emerged and circled around Mario, spinning around him until they became a rainbow blur. When the hearts had reached their highest velocity, Mario pushed his hands forwards, the hearts followed his arms and encircled Sonic's barrier. For a second, nothing seemed to happen.
"Heh! Nice try, but you can't contend with the awesome power of Cha-"
SMASH!
Like a fragile window, the barrier Sonic made from Chaos shattered, stunning the hedgehog and knocking him off his guard. With a smile in his face, Mario charged towards the hedgehog, drawing his hammer and spinning it around himself. He swung it upwards, connecting with Sonic's chin and forcing him higher, breaking through the barrier between the familiar Earth and the cold, unfeeling environment of space.
"No way!" Sonic shouted, steadying himself before any real damage could occur. Before he could move, however, Mario jumped up to meet him, landing a mean hammer swing to Sonic's temple, which forced him backwards, groaning. "Y-You asked for it!" Like when constructing the shield, Sonic focused his Chaos energy and fired it towards Mario, a beam of pure chaos.
But before the beam could hit him, the hearts burst out from him, almost like a guardian angel. As the beam of chaos got closer and closer to Mario, it stopped, the energy from the hearts was too much for it. As the hearts overloaded the beam of chaos, it rebounded, now rainbow and dangerous.
The beam crashed into Sonic's chest before he could react, the energy spreading throughout his body, causing the blue blur to let out a scream of terror and pain, the beam of purity from Mario harmed him more than anything had before. Who was this guy? What were those hearts?!
Both fighters were left breathless, regaining their energy in the vast, cold plain of space. Sonic knew what he needed to do, the problem would be doing it.
I need to go Ultra! He told himself, hands raised in a fighting position. I need to collect Power Rings! Inhaling deeply, Sonic raised his arms and waved quickly, smirking. Shocked, Mario watched as Sonic opened a large portal, almost like he grabbed space and ripped it open. He was dangerous, and needed to go!
Sonic started to move towards the portal, not noticing the paper plumber right on his tail. He inhaled deeply, and turned to speak to Mario, only to be cut off by the plumber crashing into his torso, knocking them both through the portal with a scream.
Prime Zone
"Home sweet home!" Sonic yelled, pushing Mario off his body with his feet. Still floating in the air, the fighters stared at each other, daring each other to make the next move.
"...Bye." Sonic said simply, before speeding off with a 'whoosh!' Surprised, Mario spent three seconds staring in complete shock. After all the fighting, after Sonic pushed the both of them to their limits, he just...ran? Shaking his head to recover himself, Mario charged after the Blue Blur, groaning with frustration. Chuckling, Sonic scooped up every Power Ring he could wrap his fingers around. Unbeknownst to Sonic, Mario was close behind, panting with fatigue. His body ached to rest but he didn't let it.
What an idiot! Now that we're in my universe, I've won! Sonic thought to himself, scooping up another handful of Power Rings, as Mario got even closer. Just a few more! He thought giddily. As he was about to turn around to check where the plumber was, a metal hammer crashed into the back of his head, knocking him off-course, downwards towards a planet.
"Gah!" He yelled, wincing slightly. From slitted eyes, Sonic spied Mario flying down towards him, holding his hammer up high. Sighing, the hedgehog raised his arms over his head, protecting his head from another whack from the hammer, forcing him down even faster, crashing into the planet at light speeds. However, he didn't stop at the planet. Instead, Sonic flew straight through the planet, slamming through the layers of rock, magma, iron until he popped out from the other side.
Groaning, Sonic didn't stop to assess what to do next. The hedgehog responded by kicking the planet back towards Mario. Screaming, the paper plumber couldn't move out of the way of a planet slamming into his body, flying through space. After several agonising seconds, the planet collided into another. Almost in slow-motion, the planets combusted. The explosion blasted a flaming Mario light years upwards in mere seconds.
However, the energy rammed into Sonic, knocking him backwards too. If it was on ground, Sonic would be lying on his back. Leaning backwards, Sonic let out a long sigh, the golden fur turning to blue, then to gold, then to blue once more. Exhausted, Mario managed to push himself towards Sonic, but not at any dangerous speeds. Both fighters were at their limit. Sonic turned his head, eyes half-closed, when he saw it. A Power Ring. Gasping, Sonic latched onto it, his flashing fur turning blue. Rings formed around him, and he felt rejuvenated.
Watching Sonic power up, Mario meekly bowed his head, clutching his head in defeat. Smirking, Sonic flew forwards, stopping in his tracks inches from Mario.
"Hah! This is my strongest form! I'm Ultra Sonic, and I'm unbeatable when I'm like this!" He announced, drawing a fist backwards. "And you...are...history!" He threw his fist forwards, yelling out with a mix of frustration, finality and triumph.
Close Call!
Sonic's fist missed Mario by inches. Sighing, Mario pulled out his hammer with a flourish and swung it upwards, smacking Sonic upwards and giving Mario crucial time to recover. The rainbow hearts, all 8 of them surrounded Mario in a flash of rainbow light. A moment of nothing, before small, pink hearts flowed into him. Ultra Sonic watched as Mario's Pure Hearts replenished him of his energy and health.
"N-No! No way!" Sonic gasped, as Mario looked up at him and smiled. They were basically back at square one, but now Sonic had gone Ultra. After several, long, agonising seconds, both of them reacted. They charged forwards, fist clashing against fist. Every punch they threw seemed to destroy another planet as fist and kicks collided. If a regular person were to observe it, they'd merely see a blue and red blur fly throughout the solar system.
Mario jumped backwards and pulled out a Fire Flower, his overalls changing colour once again. Fireball after fireball exploded from his hand, but this time, Sonic responded by blasting his own fire back. The wave of flame from Sonic overpowred the fireballs, flying through them like they were nothing and rocketing towards the plumber, who held his arms over his head.
The fire washed over Mario, distracting him, forcing him to move his attention away from the hedgehog now speeding towards him at speeds beyond imagining, speeds beyond belief. As Mario brushed the fire away from his body, he looked up to see the hedgehog inches from his face, thrusting a fist into his stomach.
A red streak ripped through space, crashing through planets, moons and asteriods, forming what looked to be another asteroid belt from the debris of the punch. Sonic hopped between chunks of rock, his hands surrounded by a hue of light blue, cold energy. Dizzy, Mario took a moment to regain his composure, breathing heavily.
"Sonic says: You're outmatched!" The hedgehog called out, placing his foot on a chunk of an asteroid. Ice spread from the tip of his shoe, crawling around the asteroid until it was a pale blue, but it didn't stop there. The ice arced from one rock to another, spreading throughout space, racing towards Mario at high speeds.
The ice spread across the cold, unfeeling vaccum of space in seconds, wrapping around Mario's feet and keeping him trapped, unable to move. Strained, Mario tried desperately to pull his feet out, but failed. After the coil of ice kept him firmly in place, it started to spread. Up his legs, around the bottom of his torso, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up straight and he shivered.
Hopping across the asteroids, Sonic charged up a punch, fist vibrating at such a frequency it almost seemed to be invisible. The fist sparkled with electricity, as Mario let out a gasp and began to rummage through the thousands of stickers in his album. Flicking through page after page, his eyes scanned every sticker, until he found the Leaf. Ripping it off and applying it to himself, Mario raised his arms up in defense, awaiting the inevitable punch.
"See ya!" Sonic cried, releasing an electrically-charged punch that broke Mario free from the ice but sent him spiralling into space. However, Sonic didn't let the plumber go free. He charged towards him and attempted to land another blow, but attoseconds before it cold land, Mario dodged the attack. The blue blur tried to punch again, but this time Mario simply blocked it. Thousands of punches flew towards the plumber, but not one landed.
Out of nowhere, a purple hammer emerged from Mario's pocket. Cautious, Sonic stopped punching, eyeing the hammer. Growling, the plumber swung the hammer upwards, slamming it into the hedgehog's stomach, forcing him backwards. The impact did absolutely nothing to Sonic, but his eyes...they felt very...heavy.
Involuntarily, Sonic let out a loud yawn, his eyes only getting heavier. Mere inches from his eyes closing, the hedgehog tried to desperately fight it, but it was worthless. His eyelids closed completely as his body relaxed, small snores escaping from his mouth. Overjoyed, Mario floated closer to the blue blur, pulling out a large, yellow hammer, decorated with a yellow star. The K.O Hammer. Holding the hammer above his head, the plumber called for the Pure Hearts, which surrounded the K.O Hammer in a blinding aura, donating their multiversal power to it.
"Ha!" Mario laughed, slamming the hammer down with all of his strength. With the energy of infinite universes weighing down on him, Sonic blasted off into deep space, letting out a scream that he outpaced with his speed. Speeding off in his direction, Mario let the K.O. Hammer slip through his fingers, holding out a fist.
Sonic was blasted so far away that he crashed into the edge of the universe. Literally. He slammed into what seemed to be an invisible wall. It had the space like pattern on it, he could see far-off galaxies! So, why was there something solid in the way? It wasn't hot or cold. In fact, it had no temperature. It was just an invisible force, pushing against his hands. He tried knocking on it, but no sound came out.
"That's weird. Is this the plumber guy again?" He asked himself, turning around. From lightyears away, he saw the faintest hint of red and blue flying towards him. Sighing, Sonic held his fist in his hand, before speeding towards the plumber at full speeds. Mario let out a small noise of surprise, but he sped forwards all the same, drawing a hammer, a murderous glint in his eyes.
As Sonic got sped towards to the plumber, he drew his fist backwards, yelling out in anger and frustration, tearing through space and time with his fists alone. And with the power of the Pure Hearts, Mario's hammer shined, the multiverse standing behind him. Blue and red flew towards each other, as Mario started to swing the hammer upwards.
Sonic got closer, closer and closer still, until he was in range from a devastating attack from Mario. However, before the hammer could meet him, he moved his body to the side, twisting his body around. Yelling, Mario twisted around, just as Sonic rained down thousands of blows within a fraction of a millisecond. Even the hearts couldn't prevent the pain that followed every punch.
After millions of blows landed, only a second has passed, but Sonic wasn't done yet. He wrapped his fingers around Mario's paper body, holding him up high. Mario squirmed, but the hedgehog's grip was too tight.
"I'm done with this! It's time to end this! So shut up, and be silent!" He screamed, opening a rift through space-time. Before comprehension was possible, Sonic pushed Mario through the rift and closed it shut behind him, sealing Mario away in the Zone of Silence.
The Zone of Silence
Paper Mario blasted through the rift, landing on what looked like...endless land. It was a void in every sense of the world. A space prison, really. Planets were closer to each other than they ever would be normally, and everything seemed to be...muted slightly, Mario could barely hear. It was irritating, the sounds were just barely clear. Colours were more dull and Mario could feel the weight from something invisible on his body.
He had to act, now. With haste, Mario applied the Return Postage badge to his chest, holding his arms up high. The 8 hearts emerged from his body, supplying the area with colour. The rainbows washed over the land, saturating it, and the weight on Mario seemed to lessen ever so slightly.
The Pure Hearts spun in a circle in front of the plumber, at speeds faster than light could even dream of matching, resulting in a blinding light that even Mario had to shield his eyes from.
Prime Zone
Sonic's arms were crossed, his chest heaved with the effort of supplying his body with oxygen. Breathing heavily, the Blue Blur was about to turn his back from where he banished Mario to the Zone of Silence.
"That's that. I'd say that's time for a chilli dog," He commented, when a rainbow light flooded the area. Sonic gasped. "Th-There's no way!" Sure enough, Mario himself stepped out of the portal, the hearts surrounding his body. Hrngh! I need to get rid of those hearts! He thought, glaring, outraged, at the paper plumber staring back at him.
Out of pure anger and recklessness, Sonic charged forwards, burying a fist deep inside Mario's stomach. But half of the energy travelled back up his arm and forced him backwards. Crying out, Sonic tried to punch with his other arm, but Mario, in the blink of an eye, changed his badge to the Zap Tap, electrifying his body out of nowhere.
As Sonic's fist crashed into Mario's chest, the electricity spread therough his veins. Sputtering nonsense, Sonic screamed out in agony, pushing himself off the plumber with his feet. His body still sparked and crackled, and Sonic yelled out with frustration, flying high into the air. His hands were surrounded in green energy, and Sonic pointed his hand at Mario's head.
"I've had enough of this! You may be strong, but I'm fast! You may be powerful, but I can control fate! With the power of Chaos, I wish the hearts that give you power to be erased...forever!" Gasping, Mario held out his fists in a fighting postion. "CHAOS...CONTROL!" The green energy blasted out of his hands, rocketing towards Mario, blasting apart the space and time it came into contact with.
Mario jumped up, towards Sonic, anger creased on his face. Holding out his hammer, he didn't take his eyes off the Blue Blur...and the green energy washed over him. It was a strange sensation, it didn't hurt, it was heavy, like the Zone of Silence. His eyes drifted to his Pure Hearts, and what he saw almost got him to stop moving entirely. The colour...the colour was being washed away from the Hearts! They were turning grey before his eyes! Almost like they were stone!
Mario buried the hammer into Sonic's face, pushing him back and causing the green energy to fade away from existence. Weak, exhausted and exasperated, Mario watched as the 8 grey Pure Hearts weakly spin around him, before disappearing...forever. A noise of fear escaped his mouth, as Sonic recovered from the effort of using his Chaos power. Mario was alone, with no help. Now was his chance!
Ultra Sonic threw wind at the plumber, catching him off-guard and pushing him backwards. Sonic raised a palm, and twisted it diagonally. He flew forwards, and slashed his hands, thousands of times in attoseconds. Mario didn't register the fact that he moved until it was too late, the slashes swished through the air. The plumber froze...
Before his body collapsed into scraps. Mario's final scream echoed out into the space. Rushing forwards, Sonic blasted through the scraps, blasting them throughout the universe. Smirking, Sonic let his arms fall to his side, as the yellow rings around his body disappeared and the Super Emerald separated from his body.
"That was tough..." He said, with finality.
Conclusion[]
Counter: Well...that was intense.
Kaiya: Damn it, I blinked! What happened?
Counter: This was quite possibly our closest match-up to date. Both combatants could have definitely taken the victory. While on paper, Paper Mario did seem better, Archie Sonic had just enough to take the plumber down.
Kaiya: They were both fairly evenly matched when it came to power, durability and speed. Both have done feats capable of affecting the multiverse, have tanked blows from enemies who could do the same and had Immeasurable speeds.
Damien: While Paper Mario surviving the void, which would destroy every timeline in existence, and taking hits from Dimentio is very impressive, Archie Sonic has fought evenly against people like Enerjak, who has harmed the Ancient Walkers, and with his Chaos powers he's re-written an infinite number of universes.
Hannah: Rewriting the multiverse and taking hits from Enerjak would put him at a similar level to Paper Mario, so much so that neither could win from sheer power alone. They both also had similar levels of speed. Sonic could move through stopped time and move time forwards with his kinetic energy alone, yes. However, Paper Mario has moved through the destroyed remnants of Sammer's Kingdom, which had been ravaged from the space and time destroying Void. Since Paper Mario has moved through that Kingdom and other Void-affected places, he should theoretically have a similar level of speed to Sonic.
Counter: Unfortunately for Mario, Sonic has a greater experience utilizing and taking advantage of his speed in a duel, and has displayed more feats displaying his immeasurable speed than Mario could ever hope to match, which would give him an advantage in a battle like this, where experience and skill meant everything.
Kaiya: Yeah, because the two are pretty much equal in stats, neither could end the fight like that, so it came down to their other powers. While Super and Ultra Sonic are invinvible, Mario has had plenty of experience with invincible foes before, and through, admittedly very strained circumstances, he's been able to strip people like Bowser from his invincibility before, so if he had the chance, it's possible Mario could do the same. Trouble is, Sonic would never give him the chance.
Damien: Yeah, while Mario was, with his Stickers and badges, probably the most versatile of the two, Sonic's abilities were the most deadly, but Mario had plenty of counters to a lot of Sonic's abiltities, and vice versa. While Sonic could seal people in the Zone of Silence and inside a Chaos Emerald, Mario's Pure Hearts grant him Dimensional Travel, a perfect counter, so Sonic couldn't finish the fight that way.
Hannah: Conversely, while Mario had plenty of elemental attacks, Sonic had counters to them and then some. Mario could shoot fire and ice, but so could Sonic. While Mario could utilise the air with Stickers like the Fan, Sonic has plenty of aerokinetic attacks as well. And even some of his most dangerous badges were easily nullified by Sonic. The Close Call badge manipulates fate to make sure enemies miss attacks when it's most vital, but fate itself bends to Sonic, and he really isn't bound by it.
Counter: While Mario had attacks such as the D-Down Jump and the Piercing Blow, which could bypass durability, Sonic has plenty of those kinds of attacks as well. With his Chaos wish power, he can bypass durability and erase weapons, people and even, detrimentally to Mario, the Pure Hearts.
Kaiya: We know why you're doubting that, that the Pure Hearts are multiversal and extremely tough, able to nullify the Chaos Hearts entirely, but Sonic had exactly what he needed to strip Mario of his greatest weapon.
Damien: The Pure Hearts are not indestructible, not at all. Heck, it's been shown that one Pure Heart has been affected and stripped of its power by the Void before, a multiversal force that erases everything it comes into contact with. In fact, Mario had to take the Heart to Queen Jaydes of the Underwhere to get it revitalised.
Hannah: And what power does the multiversal Sonic have? A Chaos power that allows him to grant wishes and erase things from existence. See where we're going with this? It'd be incredibly easy for Sonic to target the Hearts and erase them. If not, strip them of their power, leaving Mario defenceless and weak. Remember, Paper Mario is only multiversal through use of the Pure Hearts, so without them he's a sitting duck.
Counter: So, Sonic could be stripped of his invicibility, and Mario could be stripped of his Pure Hearts, so wouldn't the two cancel each other out and leave us back where we started? No. Because Mario's feat of removing invincibility required him to have help, something that wouldn't be possible to heave at the ready in a Death Battle.
Kaiya: Meanwhile, Sonic's wishing ability wasn't as strained as Mario's was, and he could use it without need of others, so its much more likely for Mario to lose his Pure Hearts than it was for Sonic to lose his super form's invincibility.
Damien: If Sonic didn't have this access to the Chaos Force or Chaos Control, it's likely it would either lean towards a Paper Mario win or a draw, but unfortunately for the Paper plumber, that wasn't the case.
Hannah: And if Sonic wanted to, he could travel to the Prime Zone, either dragging Mario through himself or Mario would enter himself due to his recklessness, where the One Billionth Power Ring would activate, protecting his body and mind from being destroyed, and changing the probability of his death to make sure he wouldn't lose. While it's not perfect, Mario doesn't really have a way to bypass that.
Counter: While this was an extremely close match, one of out closest, Sonic had exactly what he needed to strip Mario of his multiversal power, while he couldn't do the same to Sonic.
Kaiya: This battle was chaotic, and Mario put his heart in the battle, but he just didn't have enough force to take the hedgehod down for good.
Counter: The winner is Archie Sonic.

Archie Comics VS Paper Mario! These two have been in the spotlight for years and have had many fights but in a fight between the most OP as frick versions who will win? Will Archie Sonic prove that The Paper Plumber is too slow? Or will Paper Mario's Pure Heart help him beat The Blue Blur?
Intro:[]
(Cue: Invader)
Wiz: Sonic VS Mario, one of the biggest rivalries ever.
Boomstick: But what happens when we take the two most broken versions of them and have them fight to the death?
Wiz: Archie Sonic, Archie Comic’s rendition of the Blue Blur.
Boomstick: And Paper Mario, the paper version of Nintendo’s mascot. 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.
Archie Sonic spin dashes into Death Battle!:[]
(Cue: Green Hill Zone)
Boomstick: Imagine the Earth, many many years in the future after aliens and shit, full of living furries. That is the world the Archie Sonic comics are put in.
Wiz: Ok, Boomstick, is that how you are going to start out some of our future fights now? Just by badly yet perfectly describing the source material in just a single sentence or two?
Boomstick: Yep! Or maybe not, I don’t know, maybe I’ll forget eventually. Anyhow, aliens came by, smacked humanity around some, humanity tried hiding, it semi-worked, then animals fused with DNA because of course they do, and became Mobians. While humans were then called Overlanders because something with having four fingers or something? I don’t know, but they wanted to get rid of the furries, so they called apon the furry slayer, AKA Dr. Ivo Robotnik, AKA Dr. Eggman.
Wiz: After being called apon, Robotnik started turning the Mobians into robots for his army. However, eventually, he made two Mobians into robots that were something special. They were the parents of Sonic Oglivie Maurice Hedgehog.
Boomstick: I seen some weird nicknames or just names in general, but what the absolute fuck is that name?
Wiz: That’s what writers do whenever they can’t think of a name, Boomstick. They either write the most generic name, like use their own name, or think of some random alien name they pulled out of their ass.
Boomstick: Makes enough sense to me! Anyhow, Sonic, I am calling him just that, ain’t no way I'm using those other names, well, Hedgehog may be an exception, but anyhow, after losing them, he joined the Freedom Fighters. Who wanted a land of the truly free, damnit! But then those guys proved too weak and lost, so Sonic made the Freedom Fighters 2: Electric Boogaloo with his friends.
Wiz: With his friends on his side, Sonic went on many adventures and had many encounters with different people.
Boomstick: Ok, I love saving people’s abilities and such for the end, but this is Archie Sonic we’re talking about! One of the most broken sons of bitches that have ever been created! Man, only if I could find a good WWE opponent for him, we could watch reality itself break down!
Wiz: What about some of our future fights li-?
Before he can finish, Boomstick looks at him dead in the eyes.
Boomstick: Wiz, those fights are going to break more than reality, so, I’d rather wait to tell the people about them.
Wiz: Oh, anyhow, I guess we can go ahead and talk about his abilities. First off, let’s talk about the one thing he is most known for: speed.
Boomstick: How fast is he? Yes. That’s how fast he is. He can go at yes miles per hour... Oh? You want me to explain it? Ok, he threw a ball of water in 100 attoseconds, which is already fast, but then he can also move when someone has stopped time! His speed is immeasurable!
Wiz: And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! First off, he can basically do everything his video game counterpart can do. However, with his speed, he’s able to create tornados that can cut off oxygen from people and also cause fires to burn out! Or he can even use a whirlwind spin to send people flying! Or to just reach top immeasurable speeds, he can to a Super Peel Out to do just that.
Boomstick: Only if it had a sound effect of the Wii Sports home run with it. Oh, and wanna know what causes this kind of shit? It’s called the Chaos Force, it literally has the word “chaos” in the name! If that doesn’t say broken, I truly don’t know what does!
Wiz: What is the Chaos Force? It is a higher plane of existence where Chaos Emeralds and rings get their powers. And, as you all know, Sonic loves to collect those two things. First, we talk about what one Emerald can do, which is that it can allow Sonic to use Chaos Control to stop time, teleport, open a portal through space, or just to simply manipulate matter. Nothing too big, right?
Boomstick: Then ya give him another 6, he does a good ol’ amine move of Dragon Ball and goes yellow to turn into Super Sonic. Where, unlike his video game counterpart, he has no time limit on it! He is even able to, turn intangible, shape entire fucking worlds, erase people from existence with ease, seal people inside Chaos Emeralds, shape his Chaos Energy in the form of barriers and attacks, and even counter any evil person with basically the power of God himself. I now see why there was a Sonic Bible.
Wiz: And what’s more interesting is that he gets a giant increase of strength and durability, and somehow becomes drastically faster than before, even though he was already immesurable. Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense.
Boomstick: Then we move onto the one form that made this hedgehog infamous, the form that is Ultra Sonic. Once he gains enough Chaos Energy, or whatever bullshittery comic logic it was again, he goes into this form and becomes the GER before GER of VS debating. In this form he can *inhales* control the bonds between atoms, literally manipulating matter to what he wants, which lets him do things like turn air to water, open portals through space-time, manipulate the elements, and match the temperatures of random places! And then he has Chaos Magic which allows him to increase abilities, manipulate time, reverse mind control and it’s best friend of brainwashing, revive the dead, warp the multiverse’s reality to his will with a Chaos Beam!
Wiz: And he can even grant wishes!
Boomstick *In a Robin Williams Genie voice*: You ain’t ever had a friend like him!
Wiz: And finally, he can then send you to the Zone of Silence. What is the Zone of Silence? It is a place where prisoners have their vibrations deteriorate until they lose their powers and die.
Boomstick: It’s basically the Shadow Realm, Jimbo. And the final ability we shall talk about him is that he basically made fate his bitch. How? It’s all because he got so many rings, he eventually got the 1 Billionth Ring from three Chaos gods. This bitch protects both Sonic's body and mind from destruction, and it's always there, no matter what! The One Billionth Power Ring's aura even preserves Sonic's life force from being destroyed! Hell, it’s aura basically stops him from dying. It can even replenish stolen speed, nullify an opponent's own magic, and it was even able to help him be deroboticized after regaining his will.
Wiz: And even with amazing feats and such, there are still weaknesses he has.
Boomstick: Those being that he is just a cocky teenager who likes to taunt like players use Sonic’s side taunt in Brawl. His Billonth Ring’s aura only really works in the Prime Zone, and that while he is invincible in his latter two forms, he can still feel pain and if he overworks himself in his Super form, he can force himself out of it. Nevertheless, Archie Sonic remains easily one of the most busted characters ever created.
Archie Sonic: I won't stop until I've saved everyone you've captured! I'll never stop until I've honored the sacrifices of everyone who's fallen along the way! And I won't be through until I've kicked your flabby behind once and for all! So you just keep pushin' me, doc! I'll push right back!
Paper Mario jumps into Death Battle!:[]
(Cue: Title - Paper Mario: Color Splash Theme)
Boomstick: Hailing from a magical book, because why not? We have Nintendo’s mascot, but now he is made of paper. And now, the stories are actually stories! Not just the “plumber rescues princess from mini Godzilla” thing we’ve gotten used to.
Wiz: And yet, even then, using the power of friendship, he was still able to prevail past whatever obstacle was put in front of him.
Boomstick: But in reality, fuck friendship! All Mario ever needed was strength to win the day, and Paper Mario certainly has it! In fact, he is way stronger than normal Mario! And how does he do it? By jumping, yes, jumping. That’s how powerful he is. All he needs to jump, because hey, might as well jump, right?
Wiz: However, this is not a normal jump, no, it is a special kind of jump. Well, jumps, as there are multiple jumps he can do. Those are the Iron Jump, Line Jump, Infinijump, Hopslipper, Spin Jump, and the Clone Jump. However, as said, these aren’t normal jumps, and as such, can’t be performed normally. So, Paper Mario is in need of using Stickers and Battle Cards.
Boomstick: This just sounds like an over the top Mario Pokemon game! Anyhow, I guess I might as well explain what each jump does, so... *Inhales* Iron Jump makes it where he doesn’t take an effect, Line Jump is him multi-jumping non-stop, Infinijump means he does 100 jumps in a row, Hopslipper is just Infinijump divided by 10 *inhales again* Spin Jump is just jump but with a twist as it can cause opponents to go into the ground possibly, and then with the Clone Jump he does a Speedrunner Mario by summoning other versions of himself, except this time with 3 instead of 4. Man, that took a bit of air. Anyhow, they can also be enhanced by different stickers and shit like Flashy Stickers, Shiny Stickers, or Megaflash Stickers.
Wiz: And then he does have a weapon on hand, which is a hammer.
Boomstick: Honestly, Paper Mario is literally more of a plumber than the actual Mario! When was the last time you saw the actual Mario truly always use his hammer instead of a fire flower? No, don’t say Super Mario Maker 2, that doesn’t count because I said so. But yeah, he has a hammer to smash peoples’ faces in!
Wiz: As like his jumps, Mario can also enhance his hammer with some sort of status. Such as using the Burnhammer, which, well, burns the opponent, or the Chillhammer which freezes enemies, the Slaphammer, whic-
Boomstick: Which slaps the opponents faaaaar away as if he was Speedrunner Mario.
Wiz: Then he also has the Hurlhammer, which is meant to be a frisbee! That never comes back. And then he has his strongest hammer the K.O Hammer which launches the opponent far, and I mean FAR away with a devistating blow. Oh, yeah, and he also has the Baahammer, which makes the opponent fall asleep.
Boomstick: Of course it does! Everyone would fall asleep if they got whacked by a hammer! See, I’ll test it out on you real quick!
Boomstick pulls a hammer from out of nowhere and swings it at Wiz.
Wiz: WAIT, BOOMSTICK! DON’T DO I-
Suddenly, everything goes back as an intermission card appears.
Boomstick: Anyhow, as like normal Mario, Paper Mario has practically all of N.M’s power-ups! But now, we talk about another thing that makes Paper Mario powerful, may I introduce badges.
Wiz: Using the D-Down Jump, Mario is able to bypass your durability and defence and deliver a massive stomp, and there is even The Close Call badge, which as the name implies, makes anything a close call! Then he also has Return Postage which is where the foe receives half the damage that Mario just received, the Feeling Fine protects Mario from any status effect, well, almost any, Happy Heart is a non-stop but slowl way Mario regains health in a duel, HP Drain makes him a bit weaker, however, it results in anytime he gets hit, he gets more HP.
Boomstick: Ugh, do we have to go through all the badges?
Wiz: Yes, now let me finish. He can use the Shrink Stomp allowing him to shrink the opponent and stomp on ‘em, and the Zap Tap, well, makes it where if Mario touches something or vice versa, he ends up shocking them. Ice Power stops fire attacks, Last Stand reduces the damage Mario takes i-
Boomstick: So, basically, Paper Mario has Nanomachines, son?
Wiz: In a way, yes, as it really only works whenever Mario has taken a critical blow, and Spike Shield protects Mario from, well, spikes.
Boomstick: Now, let’s talk about Paper Mario’s GER, AKA the Pure Hearts. Created by some Tribe of Ancients, they were created to basically match the Chaos Heart, and what did the Chaos Heart do? It made the fucking actual Shadow Realm, Jimbo! Or, well, the Void, but Shadow Realm sounds better, and do you remember what the Shadow Realm was gonna do and partially did? DESTROY THE GODDAMN MULTIVERSE! Yeah, but the Pure Hearts basically said “fuck you” and stopped that from happening.
Wiz: And then there is the origami powers he has, which as said, allows him to use the power of origami as he is, well, paper, and what do you use for origami? Paper.
Boomstick: Yeah, he can fold himself around a bit to extend his reach and whatnot, but it’s not as cool as a giant pair of scissors! Yeah, and also a fan. No, not as in something like a normal fan, but as a goddamn fan so big it spun the planet around! Also, there’s the 7 Star Spirits from the Star Rod that can grant wishes and shit, but it’s still not as cool as the fan or the pair of scissors. Oh, and he has a ZA WARUDO watch, or stopwatch that stops time.
Wiz: And even after all that, he is still just paper, so he could be folded up or crumpled up from fire, and is reckless and sometimes not the smartest person around, and without the Pure Hearts, he honestly isn’t as strong at all. However, Paper Mario is still one hell of a foe to fight, so if you go against this paper, you better have some scissors ready or else it is game over.
Paper Mario: *Italian sounding gibberish*
Intermission:[]
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, we've run the data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: And now IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!
Pre-Fight:[]
The scene starts out with the ending of Paper Mario: The Origami King as the screen pans out to show a person getting out of a chair as the credits start rolling on a TV, but as soon as they start, it then cuts to (Paper) Bowser giving a gift to (Paper) Mario. “Here you go, Mario! For all the things you’ve done,” Bowser states as Mario opens the present. Inside was a bob-omb about to set off. “Bwah ha ha! Just kidding,” Bowser laughs as it goes off, launching Mario outside of the TV screen (because plot) and into a nearby Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic book as the Super Mario 64 entering a painting effect happens. (Yes, I took this idea from Smash Bracket, shut up, I can’t think of anything else and I haven’t written anything in a while, so still, shut up. Also, Imma just say Mario and Sonic and same with others because I don’t feel like always saying full names because I’m lazy, ok? Ok.)
The scene changes to show Sonic chasing after Dr. Eggman as he is flying away from Sonic in the Egg Mobile inside of a forest. “What’s the matter, Eggman? Can’t keep outrunning me forever,” Sonic says as Eggman turns around. “Oh, yeah? What makes you so confident that you can catch up?” Eggman says with his eyes closed. He then opens his eyes to see that Sonic isn’t behind him anymore. “Huh?” Eggman ponders as he turns around to see Sonic holding onto the window part of the Egg Mobile as he takes a bite out of a chilli dog while smirking at Eggman. “This,” Sonic says as he then runs ahead of the Egg Mobile and ends up spin dashing it, resulting in Eggman going flying. “Home run,” Sonic taunts as he turns around ready to leave. Suddenly, something lands in front of him, surprising the hedgehog. Sonic walks closer as the thing jumps up in front of him, revealing to be Paper Mario (what/who did you expect? DIO?). “Huh, who are you,” Sonic asks as Mario simply looks at him. Suddenly, Mario jumps up towards Sonic as the spinning star effect happens from Paper Mario.
FIGHT!:[]
(Cue: Panels of Paper or Way Past Panels)
Sonic dodges the attack and jumps out of the way. “Wow, what a way to make a new enemy? Welp, you’ve asked for it, pal!” Sonic says as he curls up into a ball and spin dashes towards Mario. Mario pulls out a hammer and hits Sonic, resulting in the hedgehog also flying. Sonic lands on the ground with a thud as he then looks up to see Mario looking through the grass and trees trying to see him. Sonic quickly boosts towards Mario, Mario quickly readies his hammer, but suddenly, Sonic appears behind him and kicks him in the back of the head. Sonic quickly runs back infront of Mario and winds up a punch. Mario sees this and simply jumps, resulting in Sonic quickly screeching to a hult to look up and just see Mario jump onto his head, again and again, 10 times. Then, Mario does a quick ground pound to Sonic, resulting in Sonic going into the ground.
Mario simply tries to walk away to explore the new world, but then he hears the sound of Sonic coming out of the ground as he dusts off some dirt and grabs his shoulder while making it do a circular motion. “Man, talk about getting down and dirty,” Sonic laughs as he runs at Mario yet again who is ready. Sonic then starts running in a circle around Mario, resulting in a tornado to form around Mario. Mario squats down and holds onto his hat trying not to go flying. However, he still ends up slowly going off the ground. Mario quickly realizes this and pulls out his hammer and smashes it into the ground trying to hold on. Mario’s hat flies off as Sonic then stops and jumps up as Mario looks up at him. Sonic does a diving kick and results in Mario going into the ground this time. Mario quickly gets out and looks up at Sonic who is spinning Mario’s hat on his finger while smirking and closing one eye as he looks at Mario with his one opened eye.
Mario, angered by this, pulls out a stopwatch and is ready to attack and Sonic then stops moving due to stopped time. Mario runs up at Sonic trying to hit him with his hammer, but suddenly, Sonic dodges, surprising Mario. “Time, huh? That’s what you can mess with? Thanks for the tip,” Sonic taunts as he kicks Mario up into the air. Sonic jumps up trying to punch the plumber, but suddenly, he gets shocked from Mario’s Zap Tap, resulting in him going back to the ground. Mario then does a Clone Jump as other versions of him appear, each of them pull out a hammer as they then start jumping atop of Sonic, then hits him with a hammer. The actual Mario pulls out a fan as it then gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger. The other Marios continue to hit Sonic with their hammers as Sonic yet again goes deeper into the ground. Suddenly, all the other Marios then use the K.O Hammer at the same time and hit Sonic with enough force to make him go through the entire planet. The fan is as big as the planet, and starts spinning, resulting in the planet also starting to go faster. The other Marios disappear as the actual Mario continues to run and jump around as the planet spins faster and faster.
Suddenly, appearing in front of him, Sonic comes out of the ground a bit away from him, as Mario then pulls out his own K.O hammer. Then, from out of nowhere, the 7 Star Spirits appear around Mario. Mario speaks in Italian Gibberish, and somehow the Star Spirits know what he’s talking about and suddenly, Mario starts having an aura around him. He then uses all his might to hit Sonic with enough force to cause Sonic to fly into the fan, destroying it as Sonic then falls back to the ground. Mario jumps up and down multiple times in celebration as Sonic slowly tries to get up, but he stumbles. “N- no... No NO! I CAN’T LOSE! Get ready, you spaghetti-flavored chump, I’m coming for you!” Sonic says as the Chaos Emeralds surround him. Suddenly, Mario turns around and sees something glowing gold coming at him. It quickly appears in front of him and kicks him upwards towards space, that thing was Super Sonic (though gonna just refer to him as Sonic unless he changes form or something). “And I’m gonna be comin at cha, SUPER SONIC STYLE!” The Hedgehog yells as he then flies towards Mario. He continuously attacks Mario resulting in the two of them being up in space. He then grabs Mario by the face and starts spinning and then throws Mario towards a nearby planet. He then quickly revs up for a spin dash, and shoots at Mario, resulting in them going straight through the planet.
Sonic then winds up another punch, but then Mario uses the Return Postage, which results in Sonic getting stunned. “Wow, that’s how hard I hit,” Sonic says as he holds his head. Then, Mario’s arms go all origami and get bigger. He then uses them to smash Sonic into multiple chunks of the broken planet, and then he reaches far behind him, and grabs an entire (giant as fruck) planet and throws it at Sonic. Sonc gets hit by it and starts flying towards the star in the center of the solar system. Suddenly, as the planet hits the star, it starts changing colors, and ends up turning into a black hole (because yes). Mario is ready to celebrate, but to his surprise, the golden hedgehog is no longer golden, but now back to blue with 2 ring looking things around him and with multiple black stars sparkling. Sonic was no longer Super Sonic, but now he was Ultra Sonic (though still gonna just refer to him as Sonic unless he changes form or something again).
“Alright, that’s it, I’m tired of this, you’ve shown me that you’re just like Eggman, only trying to defeat me, no matter the cost,” Sonic says as he looks at the chunks of the broken planet pieces. “This time though, I won’t allow another one to get away with these kinds of acts, it’s time...” Sonic says as suddenly, the black hole warps into something new. “FOR YOU TO BE SILENCED!” Sonic yells as the black hole has now warped into a portal to the Zone of Silence. Mario turns around just to get kicked in the back of the head by Sonic. Sonic quickly flies towards Mario and continues to punch him, then, he does a spin dash and causes Mario to be right in front of the portal. Mario tries getting away, but suddenly, Sonic yells out “Chaos Control!” Resulting in him teleporting in front of Mario. “Sayonara, plumber,” he says as he throws one more big punch resulting in Mario going into the Zone of Silence. Sonic then closes the portal as the plumber fades into it. Sonic turns around ready to leave, but suddenly, he sees multiple colors appearing behind him, and they start spinning. Sonic turns around in shock as the Pure Hearts are spinning around as suddenly, Mario appears in the center of them, with an angered face.
“Wha- How?!?” Sonic questions as before he can react, Mario has just punched him away. Sonic quickly recovers, and tries throwing a punch at Mario, but Mario catches his fist and throws him. Mario quickly goes behind Sonic and pulls out the K.O hammer again, resulting in the hammer actually breaking as it hits Sonic with such force that Sonic goes flying across the universe. Sonic stops himself and holds onto his shoulder as he then sees Mario speeding towards him from across the cosmos. “*breathing heavily* I can’t lose, I have to win. I have to win for all my friends! THIS IS IT, IT’S TIME YOU LEARN TO SLOW DOWN!” Sonic yells as he revs himself up for a Super Peel Out. Mario continues to speed towards Sonic as the Pure Hearts and Star Spirits surround him as he then absorbs them while holding out his fist. Sonic then speeds past planets, solar systems, galaxies resulting in space almost warping behind him as he speeds towards Mario. The two are almost face to face as they both throw their punches. Mario throws his punch with all his might, but with the power of The One Billionth Power Ring's aura, Sonic ducks under at the last moment as Mario’s eyes widen while Sonic’s fist flies towards his face.
Sonic hits Mario with such force that the Pure Hearts and Star Spirits fly from his body. Sonic then sees Mario’s weakened state, and then looks at the Pure Hearts and Star Spirits. “And to make sure you don’t come back, I wish these things gone! FOREVER!” Sonic yells as he flies up some and readies himself. “CHAOS CONTROL!” He yells as a blast of Chaos Energy shoots from his hands. Mario looks up as the blast has resulted in the Pure Hearts and Star Spirits being erased right before his eyes. Mario then turns around and sees Sonic going at him, and before he can do anything, Sonic has just punched a hole straight through his stomach. Sonic then flies up and readies himself for another Chaos Beam as Mario looks up and remembers everyone he has ever made friends with, all the adventures he’s ever been on, everything that’s made his life great. Mario simply smiles as a tear sheds from his eye as he gets erased from existence, leaving only the “M” from his hat to float in space.
Sonic quickly flies back to Mobius as he just lands then returns back to his base form and falls to the ground. “Man, that guy really could’ve been a friend, I can tell he was pure enough, but he just wasn’t the star of this one,” Sonic laughs to himself as he simply falls asleep. As it then goes back to the Paper Mario world as everyone is looking for Mario, but can’t find him, except for Bowser, who simply walks away while whistling. Then, it returns to the person who was playing as he then looks at the Archie Sonic comic which has basically tripled in size and sees the entire Mushroom Kingdom going nuts on the TV. “What the hell happened here?” The person says as he just leaves yet again.
K.O![]
Results:[]
(Cue: Green Hill Zone)
Wiz: So, that happened.
Boomstick: Yeah, uhh, what happened, exactly? Well, all I know is that Sonic went full on DIO at the end there and made a donut out of a plumber!
Wiz: Well, that did happen, but now, why did Archie Sonic defeat Paper Mario? Well, it was one tricky fight to figure out. However, after looking into it, it really just does get a little more obvious on how he wins. So, at first, we will be talking about them by themselves, without any extra forms or power-ups.
Boomstick: First off is speed, which many at first would assume that is easily Archie’s time to shine, well, it is, but not as easily as you think. Ya see, both of them basically are immeasurable, both being above space and time, while Mario is like that because of The Void, and Archie is actually like that because of him crossing the Cosmic Interstate and him moving in stopped time, but Archie still has it as he has shown many more feats of his speed! Hell, remove The Void and all that stuff that both have that isn’t their own travel speed, Archie then just yeets Paper out of the place! Because as said, he can move in stopped time, while Mario can only be around massively faster than light because of Lord Crump being launched far beyond the moon and returned in a relatively short time.
Wiz: Then in their strength and durability, strength does go to Paper Mario as because of the Dream Depot having infinite sets of dreams or well, basically universes. However, Archie takes durability because even in base, he has taken hits from the strongest enemies like Mammoth Mogul in just his base form who are in the multiversal range of strength!
Boomstick: Stamina, as shocking as it is, actually kinda goes to Mario, while Archie can go without getting tired for some time, Paper just doesnt ever get tired! Like, what kind of steroids is this plumber on? Oh, and Mario also takes weapons as he has vastly more weapons without including Pure Hearts or One Billionth ring and shit.
Wiz: And intelligence honestly does go to Mario as he has shown to actually have a tactic rather then Sonic’s main tactic of just being Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and just spinning non-stop.
Boomstick: Now time for the big stuff, what happens when we include the things like forms and power-ups. Well, speed stays the same as Sonic just becomes immeasurable plus some strength and durability then go to Sonic as he can now dish out the same amount of energy as he can take.
Wiz: Now, time for the big battle of haxes. Which, honestly do go to Sonic, but just barely, and that’s not including the Pure Hearts. You see, Sonic’s abilities are so much more powerful than Mario’s that it’ll end up being quite easy for him to take out Mario, even with the Star Spirits. However, the Pure Hearts included completely tip the scales in Mario’s favor, given how they’re 11th dimensional.
Boomstick: Now, the Archie Comics do have the Dimensional Matrix that could allow Archie to be 11D or maybe even higher, but that is kinda not the best thing to go off of as it kinda just appeared and then went away real quick. Now, the best we can put Archie is maybe 7-8th dimensional because of the Chaos Force in his Ulra form. So, how did Sonic even get past this then? Well, without the Pure Hearts, Paper is just as strong as his mainline counterpart. If anything, at best he is around just the 6th dimensional area because of the Dream Depot and surviving The Void which could erase time. Hell, just a quick reminder that it’s because of the Pure Hearts that Mario even hurt Super Dimentio as without out ‘em, he didn’t do jack shit to Super Dimentio!
Pop-Up: Only reason he likely took the hit from The Void is likely because it wasn’t at full power yet unlike near the end where Dimentio took full control of it.
Wiz: If anything, anything else Mario threw at Sonic wouldn’t do anything to the hedgehog. Even then, given his speed edge, Sonic could easily defeat Mario before he could even have the chance to use the Pure Hearts.
Boomstick: And yes, while some may wonder why we had the Chaos Control destroy the Pure Hearts, but it was just for fun, and the fight doesn’t actually show what happens if they fought.
Wiz: While Mario did certainly hold his own against Sonic with the Pure Hearts, he was not a match for Sonic’s true speed and powers that would, in the end, overwhelm the Paper Plumber.
Boomstick: I guess Mario’s chances of winning were snipped. Wait! I can do better! Uhh, I guess Mario just wasn’t Pure enough for this fight as he couldn’t control the true Force of Chaos as he was silenced in the end.
Wiz: The winner is Archie Sonic.
Death Battle Score (Panels of Paper):[]
Usually, right here I'd post my own OST/CAC/Score for my DBs, but this one had a Brandon Yates song, so eh, here is a link since I don't wanna even attempt to try and make something better then that:
Though, I did find a sorta remix of P.o.P and Way Past Flash which I think also works, so eh, here:
Trivia:[]
- The main connection for this fight is that both Paper Mario and Archie Sonic are the strongest alternate versions of both Mario and Sonic.
- This fight would be done in sprites with hand-drawn moments here and there.
