I know I said I would postpone it, but I'm gonna release the first episode now, and if enough people like it, I'm going to try and finish the rest of the season. (If anybody would like to be a co-writer, I'm accepting sign-ups.)

As the sun rises on Yoshi’s Island, Lakitu sits on his cloud with a Paratroopa filming him.
Lakitu: We’re back for season 2, and along with us we have 12 more fan-favorite Mario characters.
The camera pans to two boats, one north of the island, and the other south of the island. Various close-ups of the new contestants are shown.
Luigi (confessional): I'm really happy to be here because it gives me a month in the spotlight. I have quite a fanbase, but at home, I don't get as much recognition as I would like. I'm hoping to change that.
Peach (confessional): People don't really think of me as someone who can do good at anything. They often prefer Daisy, and I can understand, but I have a ton of skills that can be used to my advantage this season.
Larry (confessional): I'm glad I made it onto this season, but King Das told me that I have to win or else... or else WHAT? I don't even KNOW? That sentence never ends well, right? Like, nobody ever says, "You have to win or else... you get a puppy.”
Lakitu: Get ready for a hard battle for 100 million coins. 26 Days! 12 Characters! 1 Sole Survivor!


As the boat moves closer to the island, the first six contestants are introduced.
Lakitu: The red tribe, Kita, consists of Luigi, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, King Boo, Toad and Kamek.
King Boo: So, Luigi, we meet again.
Luigi just stands there, shivering.
King Boo: Don’t worry, I’m not allowed to hurt you, but that doesn’t mean I won’t haunt your dreams.
Luigi runs away screaming.
Peach: Now keep away from him or I’ll… I’ll…
King Boo: You’ll what? Kick a ghost out of existence? Ooh, I’m so scared.
Kamek: What he’s trying to say is that because of the amount of times you’ve been kidnapped, you’ll have no chance against us. We’re gonna be running the show from here on out.
King Boo and Kamek fly off with a wicked laugh from both of them.
King Boo (confessional): I know that Kamek and I will make it to the end. I just know it. Unlike the heroes, we have no fear of doing what keeps us alive, metaphorically in my case. Luigi, Peach, you’re both going down.
 

The second batch of contestants arrives.
Lakitu: The purple tribe, Minami, consists of Larry Koopa, Wario, Pom Pom, King Bob-Omb, Pauline, and Toadette.
As the contestants step foot onto the island, Larry closes his eyes, wiggles his toes in the grass, takes a breath of fresh air, and smiles.
Pom Pom: You’re weird.
Larry (confessional): King Dad told me I had to come on here, but that’s not why I came. I came to get out of the castle. Sure, I help kidnap the princess, but it’s not like I want to. I’m gonna take this as a month of freedom, ‘cause I could really use a break.
Pom Pom: Does anybody else have a strange feeling about Larry?
Toadette: Other than him being an enemy, not at all.
Pom Pom: Really? ‘Cause I don’t like the way he just sits there watching us do all the work. I’m not sure if it’s more frustrating or creepy.
Toadette: You know he has no strength whatsoever.
Pom Pom: You’re right, but I’ll keep an eye on him.
 


The next day, Toadette decides to do some exploring. When she returns, she is flying over camp with a cape on her back.
Toadette: WOOHOOOOOO!!!
Pauline: What’cha doin’?
Toadette: I found a question block nearby and decided to see what was inside it. I thought it would be some kind of advantage, but instead it was a cape feather. So here I am, having a blast flying around the island.
Pauline: Cool. Think you can find me one?
Toadette: Certainly.
Within two minutes, the pair is flying everywhere as the other tribe members watched, with some laughing at how goofy they looked. King Bob-Omb, though, is not happy about this.
King Bob-Omb: Will you two stop it? We didn’t come to do stupid things in stupid places.
Pauline flies down.
Pauline: Excuse me, but I’m the mayor of one of the most populated cities ever. I need a break from all the hustle and bustle of New Donk City.
King Bob-Omb: Your people need you a lot more than we want you.
Pauline: Yet you’re king of the bombs, and you can leave them whenever you want?
King Bob-Omb: Point is, I have more power.
Pauline: Whatever.
Pauline smiles and flies back up with Toadette.
Pauline (confessional): Let King Bob-Omb be a grump. I’m spending the best 26 days of my life, and nobody is going to stop me.
 

Over at Kita, Kamek and King Boo decide to do some exploring of their own. As a result, they come across an abandoned house.
King Boo: This place is awesome. Very spooky, and I love it.
Kamek: I know. I could get used to this place.
Kamek (confessional): King Boo and I are very close with each other, so I’m glad we found this place before anyone else. In a game like this, it’s good to have a place to hang out on your own.
King Boo: What if we made this our secret hideout?
Kamek: That would be awesome! But we gotta make sure nobody else finds out.
King Boo: Nobody will. We’re in the middle of nowhere.
King Boo looks at the floor and finds something shiny.
King Boo: Which can be used to our advantage.
King Boo rips a piece from the old floor and picks up a star.
Kamek: Is that what I think it is?
King Boo: Oh, yes. Yes, it is.
The two allies high five each other.
King Boo (confessional): Now that we found our tribe’s Hidden Immunity Star, we’re pretty much in control now. There is no stopping the two of us from making it to the end. Besides, we already made a Final 2 deal.
 


Lakitu: Come on in, guys!
The two tribes meet at the Challenge Arena, and get to see each other for the first time.
Lakitu: Welcome to your very first Immunity Challenge. Here’s how it will work. Each tribe has a Yoshi mannequin of their team color. On my go, you are going to carry that mannequin around the perimeter of the island. First tribe to get their mannequin to the end wins Immunity.
Larry: How hard can this be?
Lakitu: For Immunity, players ready… GO!
The tribes start the race, and realize that the fake yoshi weighed about 500 pounds, meaning they would need all the strength they had. They both have a strong start, but halfway through the challenge, Larry starts struggling to walk, or even stand.
Larry: I feel sick, guys.
Nobody listened, so Larry tried again.
Larry: Guys, I really don’t think I can go much further.
Pom Pom: Keep pushin’. You got this.
Larry continued for a couple minutes, before he finally gave up.
Larry: I can’t… go… any… further!
He then collapses onto the ground.
Pom Pom: Don’t worry, everyone. He’ll catch up with us.
Pauline: But he’s-
Pom Pom: Do you want this win or not?
The Minami tribe abandons Larry when he needs them most. Peach hears his complaints, and decides to do the unthinkable.
Peach: Luigi, come with me.
Luigi: Why?
Peach: You’ll see.
The duo walks to where Larry is laying on the ground, holding back tears.
Peach: Don’t worry. We got you.
The duo picked Larry up, and started carrying him to the finish.
Lakitu: Now that is good sportsmanship if I have ever seen any.
After about half an hour, the tribes are almost at the finish, running for victory. The first one there, is Kita.
Lakitu: KITA WINS IMMUNITY!
Shortly after, Luigi and Peach bring Larry to the finish.
Lakitu: I’m glad you’re alright, Larry. Unfortunately, though, your tribe lost the challenge. I’ll see you guys at Tribal Council tonight.
Two warp pipes appear, one for each tribe. Most of Minami enters theirs, but Larry stays behind.
Larry: Go ahead. I’ll be there in a couple minutes.
Lakitu flew over to check on him.
Lakitu: Is everything okay?
Larry then throws up next to the pipe.
Lakitu: That rough, huh?
Larry: Yeah.
Lakitu: I find it weird how you came here so full of energy, only to be taken out on Day 3. What caused that to happen?
Larry: Between the lack of food, the heat, and dehydration, it could’ve been a combination of things.
Lakitu: I’m wishing you good luck, especially with a tribe that doesn’t even care.
Larry: Thanks.
Larry finally enters the pipe.
 

Later at Kinami, Pauline and Toadette come to check on Larry, who is washing his shell at a nearby lake.
Larry: Well, if it’s not two fifths of the group who left me all alone. What do you want?
Toadette: That’s actually why we came here.
Pauline: Yeah. We wanted to apologize.
Larry: What’s that gonna do? Turn back time? Change the game rules? Wash all the vomit off my shell?
Pauline: It was all Pom Pom.
Larry: Oh. Sure. Like she’s the only one who left me.
Pauline: I tried to tell her to stop for you, but she asked me if I wanted to win or not, and I said yes.
Larry: Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you a mayor? If so, I’m real frickin’ glad I don’t live in your city.
Pauline: I know I screwed up, but maybe I can make it up to you.
Larry: Oh yeah? How?
Pauline: Toadette and I were thinking about siding with you to get rid of Pom Pom.
Larry: And what happens after that? You abandon me again?
Toadette: No. We’ll be on your side, making sure we all go to the end together. What do you say?
Larry’s angry face turns into a smile.
Larry: I’m in.
 

The Minami Tribe walks into a castle reminiscent of the ones in Super Mario World. Lakitu greets them, and tells them about the new ritual.
Lakitu: As you all know, the games have a life system. Once you lost all your lives, your game is over. It is very much the same here. Once your voted out, you lose your life, represented by a pendant with your emblem on it.
Lakitu gives each contestant a pendant.
Lakitu: Your pendant will then get smashed, and your game will be over. First things first, who suggested that the tribe leave behind a member?
Everyone pointed at Pom Pom.
Lakitu: Pom Pom, because of your decision, you will receive a penalty vote tonight. The rest of you are fine. Now, it is time to vote. Larry, you’re up.
One by one, the contestants got up to vote.
Larry (voting confessional): You should be ashamed of yourself.
Pom Pom (voting confessional): I will not allow myself to lose because some thirteen-year-old refused to do anything.
Pauline (voting confessional): I’ve got someone else I wouldn’t mind getting rid of, but I’m a woman of my word.
Lakitu brings over the voting urn.
Lakitu: If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Star they would like to play, now would be the time to do so.
Nobody stands up.
Lakitu: Okay, then. I’ll read the votes. First vote, Pom Pom. Second vote, Larry. Third vote, Pom Pom. Fourth vote, Larry. Fifth vote, Pom Pom. First person voted out of Mario Survivor Season 2, Pom Pom.
Pom Pom brings Lakitu her pendant.
Lakitu: Pom Pom, the tribe has spoken, and your game is over. Time for you to go. As for the rest, of you, I’m hoping to see you come together and win. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. Goodnight.
Pom Pom (final words): That little kid’s gonna pay. I was probably the most competitive player here, so it made perfect sense for me to do what I did. I have no regrets.
Here’s who voted for who:
Larry- Pom Pom
Wario- Larry
Pom Pom- Larry
King Bob-Omb- Pauline
Pauline- Pom Pom
Toadette- Pom Pom
Penalty Vote- Pom Pom

So, how did you like it? Should I finish the season? Who do you want to win? Tell me everything.

Hi. The reason you haven't been hearing from me about this lately is because of how slowly the season is going. I wanted to have it done by March 5th, but I only have three episodes completed, so I'm postponing the season. I'm not done with it entirely, but I will be taking a break with it. I do, however, have plans for another Mario-themed reality parody...

Hi. I got over my cold a few weeks ago, but still haven't been writing much because I have writer's block. It's like, I write the first couple episodes, and they're okay, but I'm still trying to write episode 3. This could take a while. Just wanted to keep you guys updated so you wouldn't be like, "Did he abandon the project?" or anything. While I already have a winner decided, it's hard writing everything leading up to that win. In the meantime, vote below who you want to see win the season.

Hey, guys. Quick update, I got a cold this morning, so I'm halting production until I get better. (I don't like doing things when I'm sick.) I was gonna wait to reveal the rest of the cast until both seasons 2 and 3 were finished, but since I don't know when I'll continue Yoshi's Island, here's the entire cast:
Kita Tribe:
Luigi
Princess Peach
Donkey Kong
King Boo
Toad
Kamek
Minami Tribe:
Larry Koopa
Wario
Pom Pom
King Bob-Omb
Pauline
Toadette

I know this topic is supposed to be about season 2, but I figured, "Why should I make a topic for season 3 when I haven't even finished season 2 yet?" Here's the thing. I said season 3 would have 12 characters of my creation, but I'm kinda having trouble coming up with interesting characters. Therefore, I'm opening up applications to custom characters.
Name: Character's name
Species: Open to Toads, Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros, Lakitus, Yoshis, Birdos, and Shy Guys. Might open up the variety later on.
Age: Character's age in years
Gender: Character's gender
Personality: Description of character's personality. Can be as long or short as you want.
Strengths: What your character has or does that might allow him to win.
Weaknesses: What your character has or does that might allow him to fail.
Picture of character: You can use these templates:

I can't wait to see what characters you come up with. (And don't worry. I will credit you if your character gets cast.)

I just finished writing the first challenge, so I decided to reveal the first half of the cast.
Like last season, the contestants will be split into two tribes of six. Here are the fist three members from each tribe:
Kita Tribe:



Minami Tribe:



Which of these six are you rooting for?

For those of you who read Mario Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom, thanks. For those of you who liked it, good news. I'm renewing it for not one, but two new seasons. As you could tell by the title, both seasons will take place on Yoshi's Island. Season 2 will feature 12 more of your favorite Mario characters. While I can't reveal much information, I will say that a lot of the contestants have relations to the cast of season 1. Season 3, on the other hand, will feature 12 all-new characters of my creation, meaning it will be the first season to include an entire cast of strangers. The host will also change from some random black Yoshi I created, to Lakitu. Finally, I will focus more on making this feel like a Mario series rather than a reality competition. I don't know when I'll start writing these, but season 2 is coming.

The two games are DS and 64, in DK Pass and Luigi Raceway, respectively.

I think they play hard enough.

DISCLAIMER:

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is probably the most chaotic game in the entire Mario Kart series, so why hasn't it gotten a sequel yet?


Mario Kart Double Dash: Total Insanity!! will have twelve teams of characters.
Mario and Luigi
Peach and Daisy
Yoshi and Birdo
Wario and Waluigi
Toad and Toadette
Dry Bones and King Boo
Koopa Troopa and Shy Guy
Baby Mario and Baby Luigi
Bowser and Bowser Jr.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong
Rosalina and Pauline
Geno and Boshi. (Square, I know you developed the game, but Nintendo also helped with it. The least you can do is let them use your characters. Imagine if Intelligent Systems banned Nintendo from using any and all Super Circuit tracks. And besides, Boshi is just Yoshi's Wario. Imagine the trio. I'm getting off topic. Sorry.)

The game will have 40 courses: 20 new, and 20 retro. Each of the new courses will have its own gimmick that will add to the madness that Double Dash is known for. I don't know what to do for the new courses, but here are the retros. (cups still have yet to be determined.)
SNES Mario Circuit 3
N64 Royal Raceway
N64 Bowser's Castle
N64 DK Jungle Parkway
GBA Cheese Land
GBA Luigi Circuit
GBA Sky Garden
GBA Sunset Wilds
GCN Luigi Circuit
DS Waluigi Pinball
DS Airship Fortress
Wii Toad's Factory
Wii Coconut Mall
3DS Shy Guy Bazaar
3DS Music Park
3DS Wario Shipyard
Wii U Mount Wario
Wii U Dragon Driftway
Wii U Big Blue
Arcade Kingdom Way (because why the heck not?)

Like DD, Total Insanity will have normal items and special items. Unlike DD, special items can only be used once per race, and are more powerful.
NORMAL ITEMS:
Green Shell
Triple Green Shells
Red Shell
Triple Red Shells
Blue Shell
Fake Item Box
Banana
Triple Bananas
Blooper
Bullet Bill
Mega Mushroom
Bob-Omb
Lightning
Star
Mushroom
Triple Mushrooms
Golden Mushroom
Poison Mushroom
Boo
SPECIAL ITEMS:
Mario- Fire Flower (can rapid-fire fireballs until he gets hit with another item)
Luigi- Feather (works like Super Mario Kart; can jump over falls, and can get a speed boost afterwards)
Peach- Heart (works like Double Dash; can steal an item she runs into)
Daisy- Flower Garden (can grow a trail of flowers behind her for ten seconds; slows opponents down)
Yoshi- Tounge (eats a nearby racer and turns them into an egg, freezing them in place for 5 seconds.)
Birdo- Egg Tank (can rapid fire eggs in all directions for ten seconds; said eggs work like Yoshi Eggs)
Toad- Mushroom Cannon (works like Mario Kart Tour; shoots out Mushrooms for 7.5 seconds; only effects Toad)
Toadette- Mushroom Powder (works like the arcade games; takes effect of a random Mushroom Item)
Wario/Waluigi- Bob-Omb Cannon (works like Mario Kart Tour; shoots out Bob-Ombs for 7.5 seconds)
Dry Bones- Dry Shell (works like a red shell, except it reforms once it breaks, which can happen up to three times)
King Boo- Item Roulette (all opponents' items are replaced with something random)
Koopa Troopa- Combo Shell (takes off shell and shoots it forward; homes in on and hits every opponent before finding its way back to Koopa Troopa)
Shy Guy- Mask Off (removes mask, which scares opponents and makes them go in the opposite direction)
Baby Mario/Baby Luigi- Balloons (gains three balloons; each hit will pop a balloon, but won't effect the kart)
Bowser/Bowser Jr.- Bowser Shell (works like Double Dash; mega shell bounces around the track and causes extra damage)
DK- Giant Banana (works like Double Dash; places giant banana that turns into three regular bananas when hit)
Diddy Kong- Banana Cannon (works like Mario Kart Tour- shoots out bananas for 7.5 seconds)
Rosalina- Launch Star (becomes incredibly fast for 8 seconds, but will lose all her speed and them some if she gets hit)
Pauline- Karaoke (sings part of "Jump Up, Superstar" into her mic, causing opponents to stop and enjoy the music)
Geno- 7 Stars (gains a Star that lasts 7x as long as normal)
Boshi- Footrace (jumps out of kart and runs a backwards lap around the track, spinning out other racers and picking up dropped items that he comes across; goes same speed as kart)

The game will support single-player, up to 8-player multiplayer, and 2-8-player co-op.
GRAND PRIX:
A single-player-only mode where you race against 11 other teams to win the gold cup. There are 6 engine classes (50cc, 100cc, 150cc, 150cc Reverse, 200cc, and 200cc Reverse) and 11 cups (Mushroom, Flower, Egg, Star, Special, Shell, Banana, Bell, Leaf, Lightning, and All-Cup Tour,) meaning there are a total of 66 trophies to obtain.
TIME TRIALS:
A single-player-only mode where you race against the clock to get your best time, or against a ghost to beat their time. In addition to being able to play against your own ghost or a staff ghost, you can also race against ghosts from around the world. You can also play on either 150cc, 150cc Reverse, 200cc, or 200cc Reverse.
VS. RACE:
This mode is available in both single-player and multiplayer. You can race against your friends and/or CPU's to win a race on any course. This is available in all engine classes, and can be played in co-op.
BATTLE MODE: This mode is available in both single-player and multiplayer. All five modes from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe return, with the exception of Coin Runners, which is replaced with Shine Runners from DS. In addition, Balloon Battle and Bob-Omb blast are no longer timed. Like VS. Race, this mode can be played in co-op.

NINTENDO JUST RELEASED A TRAILER FOR MK9!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Iggy Koopa

I have officially decided to keep all of my complete mode tracks up. Thank you all for convincing me to not remove my history. I am also planning another reboot of the series, with sixteen courses and sixteen characters. Its codename is Mario Kart Complete X, but it could change. (And no, it is not a crossover, at least for the time being.)

That's a good idea. I also came up with a possible solution right after I posted this.
I could make some kind of New Mario Kart Complete Archive multicup where I take 16 tracks from the old series and remake them from the ground up. Will it be New Mario Kart Complete 4? I don't know, but it will probably help control all the nasty comments I'm still getting.

Ah, yes, my very first complete mode multicups, when I had no clue what the heck I was doing. Bad checkpoint placements, extremely narrow paths, MS Paint, you know, all the traits of a terrible custom track. I've gotten better over the past year and a half, and I'm kind of embarassed by my first five go-arounds. In case you were wondering, they are:
Mario Kart COMPLETE
Mario Kart COMPLETE 64
Mario Kart Complete: Consoles Collide (What even was that title? )
Mario Kart Complete DS
and Mario Kart Complete Wii

Just so people don't think of me as a terrible track designer just because of what I did a little over a year ago, I decided it would be best to delete these tracks entirely. There's just one problem with that: It's almost like I'm destroying history. By deleting my first tracks, sure I might be saving my reputation, but I'm also removing my evolution. What do you guys think I should do about the situation? (BTW, the New Mario Kart Complete trilogy will still be up.)

My problems with it:
The items are obnoxious
Mario Kart DS was a new game. WHO ASKED FOR YOSHI FALLS AND DESERT HILLS WHEN WALUIGI PINBALL AND AIRSHIP FORTRESS WERE STILL OPTIONS?
Baby Daisy? seriously?
Why is getting Rosalina so hard?
Forced Team Battles.
That stupid timer.
If you get hit by an item in Coin Runners, you lose half of your coins, and the majority half if it's an odd number.

I would say that since the two tracks are connected, they could have two laps, which each one being a different course, but then I remembered this is a section track.

Koopa Cape. I remember when I unlocked it, I would play it all the time because of how cool/beautiful the tunnel was. I would also base it off the Wii version, and not the crappy MK7 remake.

I have three wishes.
1. I wish that we could adjust the CPU difficulty in Grand Prix mode. They're so hard that I can't even avoid them by snaking.
2. I wish that we could upload track themes from our files rather than being forced to use a YouTube video.
3. I wish that we could choose what final lap themes sound like. In other words, would the pitch be changed, and if it was, would it be like DS, Tour, or another kind?

As a fellow autistic kid, I'm happy to find somebody who knows it doesn't come from vaccines. And you're absolutely right about it not being a disability. It had barely affected me at all, and I even forgot I had it for a few years of my life. I'm also very glad you're willing to be open about it.
