General info
Obvious TWs like violence and bloodshed apply, this is a fanfic written by a 17-year-old after all.
I wanted to try a different approach for this fanfic - rather than being dark and dramatic like Before The Apocalypse or satirical like The Koopa Life, this fanfic is story-driven and probably won't be too dark unless it's absolutely necessary. This is a Super Mario fanfic, after all.
As for the characters, they're all characters from the Super Mario series (i.e. you can't send character info because there's no self-insert characters).
The characters
Mario ~ The hero of the Starlands hailing from Toad Town in the centre of the Mushroom Kingdom. He's brave, confident and caring, never backing down from doing what's right.
Luigi ~ The younger brother of Mario. He's quite cowardly and fairly easy to manipulate, but he'll never shy away from helping those in need.
Yoshi ~ The leader of the Yoshi tribe in the northernmost reaches of the Mushroom Kingdom. They're buoyant, kind and bubbly, which has led to them being beloved by many throughout the Starlands.
Peach ~ The heiress to the Toadstool throne. Much like her best friend Daisy, she is tomboyish, energetic and caring, with a slightly sassy streak. She knows what's best for her people and strives to provide that as promptly as she can, much to her father's chagrin.
Daisy ~ The ruler of Sarasaland. She's flamboyant, energetic and tomboyish, and she cares for others deeply, especially her best friend Peach.
Wario ~ A shady businessman from the outskirts of Mushroom City in the south of the Mushroom Kingdom. He's loud and obnoxious with a fiery temper and a lust for material gains.
Waluigi ~ Wario's most loyal accomplice. He's vain, stingy and conniving, just as nightmarish to be around as his partner-in-crime.
Wapeach ~ Waluigi's younger cousin who often aids in his and Wario's schemes. Despite being avaricious and vain, she's quiet, strong-willed and can be very loving.
Bowser ~ The sovereign of the Koopa Kingdom and the Magma Islands. He's fiery, brash and sinister, but he loves his son dearly.
Bowser Jr. ~ The heir to the Koopa throne. Much like his father, he's loud and crafty, but he's also very creative and gets emotional easily.
King Toadstool ~ The king of the Mushroom Kingdom. He claims to be a gentle old man who loves his Kingdom dearly, but what is he hiding?
The plot
Every thousand years, across the Starlands, the people are granted their greatest wishes by the power of the Grand Star. However, this year, the Starlands have been thrown into disarray. Due to a malevolent wish, the Grand Star's power has depleted and the Power Stars have been scattered across the land and sea by malice's hand.
Final note
I hope you all enjoy what this fanfic has to offer! I will release Chapter 1-1 in January 2026, maybe earlier if things go exceptionally well. (EDIT - Did not expect to release it today LMFAO)

Chapter 1-1
It's the millenial Grand Star Festival in the Mushroom Kingdom. People have come from all across the Starlands for the festivities, even as far away as Sarasaland.
King Toadstool: (Clears throat) Welcome, one and all, to the Grand Star Festival! It's a great pleasure as the Mushroom King to host this millenial event with so many people from across the world celebrating.
As the king was giving his speech, Mario was at home, waiting for his brother Luigi to get ready for the festival.
Mario: Come on, Luigi, the princess will be waiting for us! It's the Grand Star Festival today, we have to hurry!
Luigi: Coming!
Luigi soon leapt downstairs in a simple green sweater and baggy white trousers.
Luigi: Sorry it's not much... I was in a hurry...
Mario: Don't be silly, bro! You look fine! Now let's go, we don't want to leave our friends waiting much longer!
Mario and Luigi made their way to the town centre where Peach, Daisy and Yoshi were waiting for them.
Peach: Hey, Mario! Hey, Luigi!
Mario: Hello, Peach! How are you doing?
Daisy: You had us worried that you weren't gonna come out at all! What took so long?
Luigi: Uh... I was looking for something good to wear for the festival...
Daisy: You look fine, Luigi! So, what do you guys wanna do first?
Peach: Well, I was going to check on my father. He didn't look too great after the speech he gave.
Daisy: Again? I wanted to go see the food stalls! It's so tiring even getting here to see you, Peach... but it's fine, I understand. We can go check on him if you'd like.
Peach: But what about the others? I don't want to burden you after you've barely just gotten here. I'll go check on him. You have a good time at the festival, Daisy.
At that, Peach left to go check on the king, leaving Daisy with Mario, Luigi and Yoshi.
Daisy: (Sighs) Well, what do you guys wanna do first?
Yoshi: Yoshi, Yoshi! (Well, I think checking the food stalls sounds good.)
Mario: Yoshi's right, I'm starving. Me and Luigi haven't eaten all day.
With that, the four of them entered the marketplace and checked out the food stalls.
Wario: Fuck's sake, we've been here all day and not a single person has come to buy anything from our stall.
Waluigi: Wait, Wario! Look! It's Mario and his entourage!
Wario: (Screams) Holy shit! Quick, get into disguise!
Just before Mario and co. arrived at Wario's food stall, the dastardly trio got into disguise.
Wario: Hello! What would you like to buy?
Waluigi: We have... uh... Garlic! Lots and lots of Garlic! O-oh, and Turnips and Carrots, too!
Mario: Do you guys sell any of those Star Cookies?
Wario: O-oh yeah, we do!
Wario handed a box of Star Cookies to Mario and friends, hoping they'd go away as soon as possible.
Luigi: (Squints) I see... And how much is that?
Waluigi: Uh... only 5000- uh, I mean, 50 coins!
Mario: Just 50? Oh, okay, here you go then.
Mario paid for the Star Cookies and he and his friends went on their way, and Wario and Waluigi got out of disguise.
Wario: Phew, we dodged a bullet there- Hey, Wapeach, what the hell are you doing?!
Wapeach: (Giggles) Lighten up, Wario. It's the festival. Even Bowser and Bowser Jr. are having a good time.
Bowser and Bowser Jr. walked past, holding Star Sparklers, eating food, playing carnival games and having a good time.
Junior: Daddy! Look! It's Mario and his friends!
Bowser: Mario! Hi!
Mario: Oh, it's you, Bowser. Hope you're not here to cause trouble again.
Bowser: (Laughs) Don't be silly, Mario. It's the Grand Star Festival, we wouldn't dream of it.
Mario: Right, well anyway, we're just-
A loud bang erupted from the night sky.
Junior: (Whimpering) Dad, what was that?
Daisy: Odd, the fireworks weren't supposed to go off until seven. It's only half past five.
Peach came running to Mario and co., clearly struggling for breath.
Yoshi: Yo-Yoshi? (What's wrong, Peach?)
Peach: (Gasping for air) It's... it's the Power Star in the castle! It just exploded!
Bowser: What?! How the heck can a Power Star just explode?!
Luigi: I think I know... look up!
Star-shaped meteorites started spitting out of the sky like broken shrapnel.
Wario: Oh my God! Take cover! Waaaaahhh!
In mere seconds, the town was thrown into complete disarray.
Peach: Quick! Come to the castle!
Daisy: But the Power Star-
Peach: It doesn't matter! We need to get to safety!
Peach led everyone to the castle, where the king lay on the floor, shaking.
Peach: Father! Father, are you okay?!
King Toadstool: Urrrgh... I'm fine...
Mario: Can you stand, Your Majesty?
Mario helped the king up and led him to a safer space in the castle.
Bowser: Thanks a ton, Peach.
Junior: (Crying) I'm scared...
Bowser: I know, son. It's... it's not safe out there right now.
Luigi: What in the Worlds even happened, Peach? Aren't the Power Stars supposed to be indestructible?
Peach: Yeah, they are. It's... weird. Even when the Grand Star was sent down earlier, this has never happened. Not in forever. My family has historically always kept tabs on this kind of thing.
Daisy: Then what the hell was that all about? Surely the great Rosalina wouldn't send down a meteor shower unprovoked.
Peach: I don't know, I wasn't even allowed to enter the castle until the door flew open.
Mario overheard the conversation from upstairs and joined them after a short while.
Mario: Hold on, the door just... burst open? On its own?
Peach: It would've had to. All of the guards were outside the castle since the festival began, and my father's too frail to push open the vast doors to the castle.
Mario: That's strange. If the Power Star broke then surely it wouldn't have even had any energy.
Bowser: I agree with Mario. Doors that big don't just open by themselves.
Peach: Says the one who just barges in through the ceiling whenever I host a tea party... Anyway, what do we do now?
Daisy: I say we wait for the meteor shower to stop then go look for the other eleven Power Stars. Maybe if we get them all together, we'll be able to restore this one.
Bowser: You're seriously saying we look all across the Starlands to find some stupid Power Stars? Hah! Kiss my ass.
Yoshi: Yoshi Yoshi?! Yoshi, Yoshi Yo-Yo-Yoshi! (Do you WANT to get killed in the meteor shower, you dumbass?! You were literally the one to say it wasn't safe just a few seconds ago!)
Mario: (Sighs) Well anyway, I agree with Daisy's plan. I say we go get the Power Stars as soon as we can.
Luigi: Agreed, the storm's bound to have eased off at least a little by tomorrow...
Peach: Well, I don't hear any objections, aside from Bowser contributing nothing as always. But let's get some rest, we could use it for tomorrow.
Bowser: (Growls) Fine.

I just realized how similar Yoshi here sounds to the Shy Guy world shorts I've been working on. I'm planning on starting my own YouTube channel sometime in April. I'm going to say good fanfic so far, I liked that you used Yoshi's color code for the BBCode.
