Joker: Come on! Really?!

Poor old Joker was feeling frustrated as they were creating a Nintendo Direct that day...and he WASN'T going to be in it...or rather, he was...but VERY briefly...

Joker: All this training and this is what I get? A couple seconds for you to show my back? Augh!

Mario, currently in his builder outfit for a...certain announcement..., feels bad for the Phantom Thief and sits down next to him.

Mario: *Sigh...* Listen here Akira...we can't always get the reveals we want to see...and that's okay...

Young Link: Exactly!

Young Link, who was also there for announcement featuring himself, and who was looking quite shiny, almost like a toy, came over to console the leader of the Phantom Thieves as well.

Young Link: There's always a possibility that you could get your chance next time!

Mario: Plus your training has been going very well. It shouldn't be too much longer...

Joker: Hmph...how long will that take?

Mario: Well, you're over halfway through. There's only two months left, so you'll be in before April is over.

Kirby: So, not to be rude friend, but you better get back to training right away!

Kirby then appears with a clipboard in "hand" with a schedule written on it.

Joker: Well, I never let life get me down...

Mario: Oh we know, rather it be a slezeball gym teacher...

Kirby: A plagiarizing Artist...

Mario: A money laundering Yakuza leader...

Kirby: The traumatized mind of a grieving girl...

Mario: A corrupt businessman...

Kirby: Another Corrupt businessman...

Mario: And...

Kirby: AND...

Mario and Kirby: AND...

Young Link: Uhhhh...

Mario and Kirby: A...GOD INCARNATE!

Joker: Yes...I know the plot of my game...thanks for that recap...

Kirby: Sorry...it's just really good...

Joker: I appreciate it. Anyways, better get back to training!

And as Akira ran back towards the training room, Mario turned towards his Pink friend to discuss something with him.

Mario: Hey...Kirb...

Kirby: Hmmm?

Mario: I don't kmow if you're aware of this, but I've already started to call the company we're going for next.

Kirby: Oh really now? How has it been going?

Mario: Pretty good actually. Like almost shockingly so...

Kirby: Well, I can only hope that nothing goes wrong on the road to recruitment...

Mario: I don't think you should worry that much, I think we'll be alright...as long as we can keep this here orb safe and all...

What Mario didn't know was at that moment, he and everyone else in the building was being watched by a certain leather jacket wearing demon...

Dan: So these are the famous Smash Bros? Heh...I knew I wouldn't have that much trouble but woof! That orb though...Hmmmm...that could be dangerous if gone unkempt...but useful under my power...
Even still, I better keep my distance and wait for the right time...to strike.

Author's notes: This was...frustrating...for a lot of people. I personally didn't mind it as much as some people (mostly because they at least gave us a date, not to mention we were coming directly off of Piranha Plant, so I was pretty satisfied anyways), I do understand why many were frustrated.

This direct as a whole was kinda low key, but it was fine for me. I do love Link's Awakening and Dragon Quest, but at a time when everyone just wanted Animal Crossing info (so not too different from now really...), I can see why many were underwhelmed, but Dragon Quest was so good that I didn't really care. (But, of course, we'll talk Dragon Quest more later.)

Next time: Mario and friends meet the folks of Atlus!
