You may have heard of the famous Mario characters on big adventures together or against each other, but have you heard of the small short stories that they also have? Here is a collection of a bunch of these Mario Universe Super Stories, brought to you by XGamer952! I hope you enjoy! :D (Based on characters by Nintendo)

•• COMPLETE •• How seriously do you think Bowser's death would affect Mario and the rest of the denizens of the video game world?

Just trying something new, hehe. We'll see how it goes. These are just a collection of very short Mario stories, written in script form! :) Characters belong to Nintendo.

The horrible defeat Mario faced against Bowser sent him flying to the Cap Kingdom - and Peach into a forced marriage! Mario soon discovers Cappy, a magical hat spirit whose sister, Tiara, was taken by Bowser as well. Join Mario and Cappy as they traverse through multiple kingdoms, collect moons, and try to save the girls from the wedding! Contains spoilers, read at your own risk. Also, all characters are owned by Nintendo.

IT'S THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME! After Bowser, the evil King of the Koopas, kidnaps Princess Peach, Mario is thrown out of the Mushroom Kingdom into an adventure through a universe where evil spies lurk, airships wreak havoc around galaxies, and partnerships are tested till the end. Can Mario save the princess, and stop Bowser's ever-growing grip on the universe? I wrote this story in a notepad in late 2013, and now I've decided to reveal it online. I hope you like it!

A novel. While vacationing with Princess Peach on a tropic isle, Mario and his new water jet pack, Fludd, must clear the island and Mario's name after he is framed for vandalism by a mysterious look-alike. *** "Dark days on Isle Delfino!" When Mario, Princess Peach, and her court arrive on tropic Isle Delfino for a relaxing getaway, things instantly don't go as planned. The always-sunny island is covered in an unusual darkness, and what's more, the place is covered with strange goop! But they soon discover it's only the beginning of their troubles. When Mario is accused of causing the problem, he is sentenced to clean the entire island of the pollution - but luckily, he won't have to do it alone. Armed with his new water jet pack, an artificially intelligent machine called Fludd, Mario gets down and dirty to clean Isle Delfino and find the Shine Sprites, the mysterious guardians of the Shine Gate responsible for restoring light to the island. But while the vacation has been put on hold, other things may lurk in the shadows... such as the mysteriously Mario-esque figure with a paintbrush who seems to have a strange obsession with Princess Peach. What was meant to be a relaxing vacation for the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom soon turns into another whirlwind adventure for Mario. Can he get to the bottom of this mess and restore the sunshine to the island - all while protecting the princess? Based on the original Nintendo title.

But don't expect anything normal. However, we can tell you to expect the Crazy and unexpected.

(This is the Mario tv show you never really had.) Starring mostly main series Mario characters, including: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser, Wario, Daisy, Waluigi, and more. Also featuring loads and loads of references, songs, and stupidity. Welcome to Crazy Mario Land! Read at the risk of your sanity. BUT EMBRACE THE CRAZY!!

A novel. After mysteriously winning a mansion, Luigi must use his courage and his customized vacuum to fight ghosts and unlock the mansion's secrets in order to look for his brother who has gone missing. *** "...And the grand prize is... a big, haunted mansion?" Luigi isn't used to winning. So when he gets a mysterious letter claiming that he's won an enormous mansion, he naturally gets excited... but there's just one little catch. There's ghosts all over the place, and the house is haunted! To make matters worse, Luigi's older brother, Mario, was last seen going into the mansion and never coming out. Luigi hates ghosts - he's deathly afraid of them, in fact - but he soon discovers it's more complicated than that. According to a kind old scientist living nearby, the mansion doesn't even exist at all! It turns out that this inventor, Professor E. Gadd, has been studying the ghosts for some time - and passes on a useful weapon to help Luigi in his quest. The Poltergust 3000 is no ordinary vacuum: it's a wearable tool capable of capturing specters! Luigi isn't exactly known for his bravery, but he sets out into the dark house to discover the truth. Can he overcome his obstacles - including himself - and find Mario before it's too late? Based on the original Nintendo title. ~This book won first place in @ZoeSpook's Fanfiction Awards 2018 contest!~
