As our short begins, we see a familiar shack with a logo on it.

"Sonic's Cars: Mario's Tall Tales"

As a familiar horn is heard, the door fell down. Mario smirks as she came out, exclaiming, "Don't-a lie, don't-a cry! Wrestle!"

Monster Wrestling Mario

As usual, the gang are hanging at the café. Emerl was watching My Little Heroines: Friendship is Magic Season 2...the episode was 'Valentine's Day'...

"So, Annie...you excited for Valentine's Day at school?" Ryan ask his honorary nephew curiously.

"Well....kind of, Uncle Ryan." Annie said meekly. Ryan notices him shuffling his feet. Interesting.

"Uh...kind of? What do you mean by 'kind of', Annie?"

"I've never been anyone's Valentine before...what if I screw up?"

"Oh...that makes a lot of sense." Ryan said, now understanding why Annie is upset. "You see, it happens a lot to many kids your age. Have you got someone on your mind as your Valentine? Hmm?"

Annie notices a smirk on Ryan's face, making him uncomfortable. He said, "Uncle Ryan...please don't give me that look."

"What look?"

"You know...that crazy grinning look that you get when you're being mischievous."

"Oh, that one. Sorry, Annie...I'm just curious." Ryan said to Annie with a lightful chuckle. He then ask, "Who is she? Is she...someone that I know?"

Annie hesitates as he begins to answer, "It's..."

"Wait, wait. Don't tell me. It's Padme, right?"

"Well, I--."

"You lucky boy." Ryan laughs as he pats Annie on the back, making sure not to do so too hard. "I'm happy for you...I mean...I barely see you without a smile on your face whenever you see Padme."

"Is that love, Uncle Ryan? Is that how you feel whenever you're around someone you really care for and love?" Annie ask Ryan hopefully and anxiously.

"Annie...Annie my boy, that's not the only thing that makes love what it is; love is about putting someone else's needs above your own. Love is about showing someone how much you care about them and them showing you how much they care about you back."

"Really?"

"Yeah...that's what love really means. But my question is...does Padme love you back?" Ryan ask Annie curiously. "I know that you two...ahem...'accidentally' kissed under the mistletoe at Christmas, but was it a real kiss, or just showing respect for the tradition?"

"I'll probably ask her that later." Annie said, blushing a bit.

"Good luck, Annie...see you later when you come back...and please tell me her answer."

The gang then spots a big guy in a monster truck passing by. Sonic exclaims eagerly, "Wow! Way past! Check out the size of that monster as well as the guy driving it."

"Awww, that's-a nothing." Mario said with a light chuckle.

"I supposed you got another story about that?" Emerl ask Mario skeptically.

"Yep! I-a used to wrestle-a guys bigger than that."

"What?" Sonic ask Mario in disbelief. His best friend was a wrestler now?

"Yep! I was a Monster Wrestler!"" Mario exclaims as he goes into another one of his tall tales.

--------------

Mario's next tall tale begins at a building where a wrestling show is beginning, as shown on a sign marked "Tuesday Nite Wrestling Challenge Sign Up." The crowd cheers on wildly as they wait for the wrestlers to appear.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen...introducing the Scary-o Scary-o the Terror!" An announcer booms out.

A light flickers as Mario is shown with a badly made wrestling outfit. And as per every wannabe, the crowd booed at him.

"Excuse a-me, its Mario Mario the Plumber!" Mario protest to the announcer for making that mistake.

"Does it matter?" The voice ask arrogantly. Mario hears a badly version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" from an ice cream truck. "Who wants some ice cream?!" The spotlight turns right to the door as it was slammed opened, showing a monster truck ice cream truck with someone inside. "Here he is, Zeebad the I-Streamer!!!"

The crowd, including a man named Brent McHale, cheers wildly as Zeebad, a spring like blue figure, zoomed up then hopped out of the truck.

"I am ready to make you scream, fatso!" Zeebad exclaims to Mario quickly, causing him to yelp.

Mario comment, "Too bad I can't use my power-ups in a sanctioned wrestling match without it being considered cheating."

Once the bell rings, the wrestler roars but Mario yelps and darts away in the nick of time, much to his opponent's confusion. As he scratches his head, he ask while looking around the area angrily, "Huh? Now where..."

"Excuse, me, mister?" A boy voice ask funnily. Zeebad turns and saw Mario...except the plumber disguises himself as a kid with a beanie hat on, preventing his opponent from recognizing him. "All right if-a I have one double dipstick sundae please?"

"What? Oh, right. Coming right up! That must be a popular flavor." Zeebad said with a nod, thinking that this is a customer. The wrestler turns around to get some ice cream but Mario then grabs him by the spring bottom, sending him tossing away. "Huh? WHOA!"

"HA HA!"

Zeebad hits the mat hard, unable to get back up. The referee Mills Lane rushes in and slaps the ground, quickly calling out, "1, 2, 3," Soon the bell rings, causing Mills to point to Mario. "And the winner is...Scary-o Scary-o the Terror!"

Mario, back in his normal outfit, didn't waste time in grabbing an extinguisher and splashing Zeebad with it. After tossing the empty item away, the defeated humiliated wrestler now looks like an ice cream sundae.

"Now that's a sundae, sundae, sundae," The voice exclaims eagerly at this victory.

---------------------------

Mario became a celebrity big time. The next week shows a poster of him as Scary-o Scary-o the Terror fighting a military wrestler named Prison Warden, some sort of stern looking fish prison warden.

In the ring, the Prison Warden glares as he snaps to Mario, "Drop and give me 20!"

Mario is in better wrestling clothes this time. The plumber, smirks, back himself to the ropes, exclaiming, "How-a about I-a give you three?!"

Mario was about to bounce from the wrings and toppled onto the Prison Warden, trapping him. Mills calls out, "1, 2, 3!" The bell rings, allowing the referee to announce. "The winner!"

---------

Soon another wrestler appears on the view screen: Denzel Crocker AKA Dr. Crocktopus. The villain is using his metal arm to trap Mario who is struggling to get free.

"Wow! Dr. Crocktopus has Scary-o Scary-o the Terror in his signature dreaded arms hold!" The voice exclaims in concern.

While Marioy and his opponent continue fighting, a familiar song, "Eye of the Tiger", plays in the background. Then, Homestar Runnert gets up to the mike as he starts singing along with the song.

Homestar: Rising up
Back on the street
Did my time
Took my chances

Then Strong Bad came up on the stage and pushed Homestar out of the way, scowling, "Oh, get outta here, Dumbstar."

"Yeah, alright," Homestar snaps in annoyance while being pushed off the stage.

"Looks like I got you, fatso! All my arms got you!" Dr. Crocktopus exclaims madly as if he's winning.

However, Mario grab one of his opponent's nipples, then twist it, making the opponent scream in pain. The wrestler then twirled and tumbled, breaking Dr. Crocktopus's arms right off before the villain is send tumbling to the ground.

"1, 2, 3!" Mills exclaims before pointing to Mario. "The winner!"

"Ha ha! Looks-a like I got your-a arms now!" Mario laughs as he points to the defeated Crocktopus with all of his enemy's arms.

The fans, especially Brent who is wearing Scary-o Scary-o the Terror franchise on himself, shouts out to Mario now, "Yeah, you-a sure-a do!"

---------------------

"Ooh, it's Orin Scrivello, D.D.S!" The announcer exclaims as we see a poster marked "Scary-o Scary-o the Terror vs. Orin Scrivello, D.D.S."

In the ring, a dentist by the name of Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. prepares himself while exclaiming, "When I'm done, your next stop will be a dentist's chair!"

However Orin couldn't make do on his threat at Mario pulled him towards the bungee. He exclaims, "Well, don't-a worry...I-a will bring you some flowers!"

It didn't take long for Orin to be send flying right out of the stadium. The voice booms out, "Wow! That's gotta hurt!" The dentist crashes through a window of the hospital next door, landing in pain right in the ER. "And just wait until he gets the bill!"

Mills quickly came up as he makes the count, "1, 2, 3!"

"You-a are out!" Mario is heard laughing in triumph.

---------

Mario is in another fight, facing off against a Scottish man named MacFroogle who is about to use cement in hopes to take his opponent down.

"MacFroogle is gonna lay down some cement!" The same voice exclaims eagerly.

"Time for a fresh pour, laddie!" MacFroogle exclaims sternly to Mario.

"Pour-a it on!" Mario exclaims in determination. The hero didn't waste time in tripping MacFroggle. The Scottish wrestler screams as he fell down into the cement, getting himself covered as a result.

"Ooh, wow! He got paved!" The voice exclaims in amazement at this defeat.

In the referee stand, two kid announces named Nick and Chip was watching the action. Nick exclaims, "Dang!"

"Well, that's what I called a patio-daddy-o!" Chip exclaims with a smirk as if making some sort of joke here.

Mario down below eagerly stood proud on top of the cemented MacFroogle as Mills counts, "1, 2, 3!"

"Yahoo! You rock, woo-hoo!" Brent cheers out wildly for Mario.

------------------

Soon everyone gathered at a huge stadium where the logo "Monster Wrestling" is shown. The crowd chants wildly as it's time for the fight to be crowned a new champion!

"And now, get ready as the moment we've all been waiting for her has arrived! Here he is: the mustached wonder of the world, the master of disaster..." Nick calls out as the TV inside the stadium shows Mario in his expensive looking wrestling outfit waving to everyone, "...Scary-o Scary-o the Terror!!!"

Rock music plays as flame shots out from both sides of the aisle. Mario removes his cape, twirling it around before tossing the thing. The plumber slid down the ramp in his vehicle and whoops before hopping out, hitting the ring hard.

"Go get them, Scary-o Scary-o the Terror, yahoo," Brent cheers out wildly to Mario in delight.

"Ha ha! I am-a ready!" Mario exclaims as he prepares himself for the world championship belt.

"Fighting him is word champion Dr. Gene Splicer!" Nick's voice calls out.

Sure enough, a mad scientist named Dr. Gene Splicer came out laughing madly despite the crowd booing at him. Mario couldn't help but smirks at this. This guy is his opponent?

"Piece-a pie." Mario chuckle with a smirk. He will take Splicer down in no time!

"And his monster...Melvin!" Nick exclaims suddenly.

Some walls burst down as a large, hairy monster that has the head of a bulldog, the horns of a bull, the body of an orangutan, the wings of a bat, the legs of a pig and the tail of an alligator named Melvin comes in wearing a brainwashing helmet, roaring loudly as sparkes came out of him. The crowd looks stunned and horrified.

"It's alive!" Chip exclaims as he and Nick watches this in amazement and horror.

"Mama mia!" Mario exclaims in worried as Melvin jumps into the ring.

---------

"So what did you do?!" Sonic ask worried to Mario back in the reality. Even he is buying this story.

"Awww, don't ya remember anything?" Mario ask Sonic with a disappointed frown. "We was a tag team as you-a was there too!"

"WHAT?!"

-----------

And sure enough, Sonic finds himself in wrestling clothes looking stunned as his best friend. As the bell rang, Mario quickly tags him, exclaiming, "Tag! You're-a it!"

"What?!" Sonic ask confused.

"Get them, buddy!"

Mario rushes off as Melvin slammed his fist down. Sonic screams in a panic as he dodges the monster's attacks. The hedgehog is a race car driver, not a wrestler!

"Whoa, hey!" Sonic exclaims as he kept on running to dodge the brainwashed Melvin. "Come on, back off, ugly! Back off!!!"

As Melvin kept on chasing Sonic who is running around screaming in fear, Mario is outside the ring, smiling to Tessa and Vanessa James, in plumber outfit, and posing for them.

"Yep-a, ladies! They-a are real. Wanna feel them?" Mario ask the girls. They didn't waste time in touching the wrestler's bicep as they "oooohed". They loved it!

"Mario, quick!" Sonic exclaims as he peeked out of the ring in fright. "Tag me, quickly, tag me!!!" The wrestler just tagged him without looking.

"Tag." Mario remarks. Melvin almost caught Sonic but ends up hitting the ring rope, getting caught as a result. The wrestlers, noticing, grabs the rings with a smirk. "Gotcha!" Mario grunts as he pulls at the ropes that Melvin's arm is tied up in. As Melvin growls, Mario pays him no mind as he looks at the giggling girls. "Watch-a this!"

Mario didn't waste time in pulling quickly...and the whole ring is turned upside down, along with Gene Splicer and Melvin. The two yelled as they crash underneath with everything else crashing right on top of them! Ouch!

"1, 2, 3!" Mills exclaims as he made the usual countdown. The bell rings as the referee announces, "The winners are Scary-o Scary-o the Terror and...what is your name again, hedgehog?"

"Sonic "Lightning" Hedgehog." Sonic sighs, relieved that mess is over.

"And Maniac the Death-hog!"

"Wait, what?!"

Fireworks blew up in the sky as the crowd cheers on. Mario smiles though Sonic looks more confused. What just happened?

----------

"'Maniac the Death-hog'. Ugh, come on!" Sonic groans back in reality as he roll his eyes at the story.

"Well, I don't know, it fits ya." Emerl said to Sonic with a grin, making him annoyed.

But then a familiar fan appears, looking delighted as he exclaims to Mario, "Whoa! I cannot believe it! It's Scary-o Scary-o the Terror!!! He rushes up to Mario anxiously. "Say, I'm your biggest fan, man! All right if I get your autograph?!"

"Sure-a thing." Mario chuckles as he put a hand print onto Brent's shirt, getting it dirty but making an autograph to boot.

"Wow, I will never wash this shirt again."

"Well, another story come true." Emerl said, shaking his head in amazement.

As Brent prepares to leave, an anxious Sonic follows, asking, "Hey, don't you want Maniac the Death-hog's autograph?"

"No tanks." Brent said to Sonic, refusing the hedgehog.

"Come on, seriously."

"I'm okay, really."

"I will do it real quick." Sonic said to Brent eagerly, making the fan winces a bit.

"Come on, you're making me uncomfortable." Brent said uncomfortable to Sonic. Emerl laughs a bit, his friend can't get all the luck!

--------------

We see Mario and Sonic tagging one another in wrestler outfits.

"Tag, you're it." Mario said to Sonic with a smirk.

"Tag, you're it." Sonic said, tagging the plumber right back.

"Tag.'

"Tag!"

"Tag." Mario said, beginning very silly and mischievous in this.

"Tag!" The two best friends exclaims as they tag each other.

"Tag, you're it." Sonic insists as he tags his best friend once more.

"Tag!"
