Rainbooms Watches My Favorite Death Battle Episodes!
Chapter 8: Mario vs Sonic
Previous Chapter Next ChapterMario vs Sonic
“Hey, how long have we’ve been watching these Death Battle episodes since we started?” Flash asked.
“It’s already been over one hour and ten minutes.” Twilight answered.
“Seriously, damn! Time sure flies by when you’re watching something awesome.” Rainbow Dash said.
“You got that right, these Death Battles sure are interesting.” Applejack nodded of approval.
“We already watched seven episodes, and these are just from the first season.” Sunset mentioned.
“Well, that definitely means we can watch some more before going home.” Flash smirked.
“You better believe it!” Pinkie grabbed the remote and pressed play to begin the next favorite episode.
Wiz: Their rivalry is legendary and their fame unmatched. After battling for over two decades, this epic duel will finally meet a decisive end.
Boomstick: I've been waiting for this forever!
“So, this is a battle between two characters from different franchises that are rival to each other.” Sunset excited.
“And now we’ll see which one is better than the other.” Spike said with his tail waging.
Wiz: Mario, the whimsical Italian plumber.
Boomstick: And Sonic, the hyperactive hedgehog.
“I don’t know Sonic, but I’m liking him already.” Rainbow Dash grinned.
Wiz: I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
Mario
Wiz: Mario is one of the Star Children and possesses many special abilities with the intent of protecting his home, the Mushroom Kingdom. Even as a baby, he was obviously destined for greatness.
“Goodness, born as a hero is certainly worthy.” Rarity fanned herself.
“Like us.” Rainbow Dash smirked.
Boomstick: When you've got an army of dinosaurs serving you before you can even speak, you know you're gonna do great things.
“Aw, those dinosaurs look so cute.” Fluttershy complimented.
Background
Height: 5’1”
Can Jump Over 20 Feet
High Stamina
Superhuman Strength (Applejack likes that)
Superhuman Durability
Skilled Combatant
Wiz: He is well known for his incredible athleticism and unmatched jumping ability.
Boomstick: Who says white guys can't jump?
“I like to jump all the time!” Pinkie smiled as she starts bouncing from her puffy hair.
Wiz: Plus, he's a powerhouse, with the strength to lift heavy objects and crush enormous castles. He also uses his bare fists to smash solid brick.
“Strength is certainly one thing all folks should have for either farming or crushing evil.” Applejack flexed her muscles.
Boomstick: With his jumping skills and weight, he can pound and crush his foes into oblivion, and if he needs some extra firepower, well, he's got his entire arsenal of power-ups!
“Power-ups, like in a video game.” Flash realized.
Fire Flower
Grants Pyrokinesis (Sunset likes that)
Can Create and Manipulate Fire
Bouncing Fireballs
Ends After Absorbing 1 Deadly Blow
Wiz: His first power-up is the Fire Flower. With it, Mario obtains pyrokinetic abilities.
Boomstick: Really? I always thought the flower was just really spicy.
“Never judge a book by its cover, as they always say.” Rarity said.
“Especially when you can gain the power of fire.” Sunset grinned.
Wiz: He can create and manipulate fire to produce a variety of devastating attacks.
Frog Suit
Increase Jump Height
Increase Swimming Speed
Can Breathe Underwater
Resists Water Currents for Better Control
Looks Absolutely Ridiculous!
Boomstick: He's also got this Frog Suit thingy. While wearing it, Mario can jump even higher, swim even faster, and breathe underwater. The only problem is no one's really gonna take him seriously wearing that thing. Ha ha! Ah, look at him!
“I think he looks adorable.” Fluttershy believed.
“Being adorable won’t win him fights like that.” Rainbow Dash Stated.
Cape Feather
Wears a Yellow Cape
Can Fly for Unprecedented Amount of Time
Can Deflect Projectiles
Razor-Sharp Edge
Wiz: Several different power-ups have granted Mario flight before, but none as well as the Cape Feather. With it, Mario can fly for an unprecidented amount of time.
“Please, I can fly for as long as I want.” Rainbow Dash bragged.
“Except paying attention to where you’re going.” Applejack rolled her eyes.
“Hey, I only crashed into you one time.” Rainbow Dash snapped.
“Or three.” Pinkie whispered giggling.
Metal Cap
Becomes Living Metal
Nearly Indestructible
Incredibly Heavy
Power Increase
Speed and Maneuverability Remain Unchanged
Boomstick: The Metal Cap turns Mario's entire body into indestructible living steel. But while Metal Mario's extremely heavy, his strength and speed are boosted, giving him ten times more power and just as much agility as before.
“Weird, it says the speed is unchanged but Boomstick said that it’s increased.” Twilight noticed.
“Probably didn’t bother to check that and just drank a beer.” Rarity annoyed.
Starman
Invulnerable
Increases Speed
Instantly Kills Foes
Short Time Limit
Wiz: The Starman envelops Mario into a blinding aura of compressed energy, granting increased speed and complete invulnerability for a short time. Touching a normal enemy in this state will instantly kill the foe.
“Ouch, I feel bad for the poor suckers who have to go against Mario in that form.” Flash commented.
Hammer
Stored in Mario’s Pocket (Confused Everyone Except Pinkie)
Can Crush Practically Anything
Smaller Hammers can be Thrown
Wiz: And while it's not technically a power-up, Mario has a Hammer that can crush almost ANYTHING.
“Oh, I could use something like that.” Applejack wondered if she could use that hammer at her farm.
“But he does he even fit something that big in his pocket?” Twilight asked.
“The same way I fit my party cannon.” Pinkie pulled out her cannon from her pocket.
“It’s not loaded, right?” Sunset asked a little worry.
“Of course not, silly. At least I think so.” Pinkie answered, this got Sunset worry some more.
Mega Mushroom
Mario Grows Giant
Invulnerable
Can Smash Through Almost Any Obstacle
Lasts for a Short Time
Boomstick: It seems like Mario's always popping 'shrooms to get more power. And with the Mega Mushroom, he gets GINORMOUS, mowin' down people, plants, environment, hell, everything!
“I want that mushroom!” Spike hopped exciting.
“But Spike, you don’t even like mushrooms.” Twilight reminded her.
“I know, but I’m sure that mushroom taste like steak or at least those doggy treats.” Spike said making Twilight giggles.
“I actually want to know what it’s like to grow giant too.” Fluttershy interested in that Mega Mushroom.
Wiz: Mario has battled a larger variety of enemies than any other video game hero. Whether a foe is large or small, scary or goofy, dumb or deadly, nothing has ever proved too much for him.
“Like a Knight in Shining Armor rescuing a princess.” Rarity commented beautifully.
Boomstick: Except for keepin' track of his woman. She's always gettin' kidnapped and he's always showing up at the wrong castle. Somebody needs to throw a GPS tracking bracelet on that bitch!
“Or not much as a knight, but he still rescues her in the end.” Rarity stated her claim.
“I think he needs better guarding.” Sunset advised for the plumber.
Wiz: He is fairly impulsive and not much of a strategist, preferring to quickly fight his way through problems before thinking things through.
“It doesn’t hurt to use your brain once and a while.” Twilight said, thinking this is like Zitz.
Boomstick: But that doesn't matter, Italy's greatest hero can power through anything!
Mario: "It's-a me, Mario!"
Sonic
Wiz: Sonic the Hedgehog is the fastest thing alive, and a freedom fighter battling to save the world from the tyrannical Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik.
“Hey, doesn’t he remind you of Shadow?” Applejack noticed the similarities.
“He was mentioned in Vegeta vs Shadow.” Sunset answered.
“And Wiz say he’s the fastest thing alive. Can’t wait to see what he can do.” Rainbow Dash excited.
Boomstick: He's not so bad for a tree-hugging hippie.
“Kind of reminds me of Tree Hugger.” Fluttershy said thinking of her friend.
Background
Height 3’3”
Weight: 35 lbs.
Age: 15-16
Freedom Fighter
Top Speed: Unknown, Average of 765 mph (Rainbow Dash Impress)
Figure 8 Technique
Wiz: Sonic's most notable ability is his speed. He can easily break the sound barrier in mere seconds. While his top speed is unknown, he has clocked in an average of 765 mph.
Boomstick: Holy crap! This guy must blow through shoes.
“Impressive, but I can clear that speed no problem.” Rainbow Dash bragged.
“Remember, he said Sonic’s top speed is unknown though it’s likely that he is faster than you.” Applejack pointed out.
“We’ll see about that.” Rainbow Dash said.
Wiz: He can further increase his speed with his trademark figure 8 technique.
Boomstick: But he's not just fast on his feet.
Attacks and Techniques
Spin Attack
Spin Dash
Homing Attack
Light-Speed Dash
Martial Arts
Can Burrow Underground
Boomstick: He can curl up into a spiky ball and rip through his opponents with the Spin Attack.
Wiz: His Homing Attack rockets toward an opponent and can hit multiple times.
Boomstick: And with his Spin Dash, he can reach top speeds almost instantly. How does this guy not vomit?
“Man, those moves look awesome!” Rainbow Dash smiled.
“Being a hedgehog, they naturally roll like balls to make fast getaways from predators.” Twilight explained.
Wiz: During his adventures, he has used a variety of different shields to improve his abilities. Each shield can deflect minor projectiles and have environmental advantages, though they will disintegrate after blocking a deadly blow.
“Those shields would be interesting to have.” Twilight said.
Fire Shield
Impervious to Fire and Heat
Fiery Makeup
Disintegrates in Water
Mid-Air Dash Attack
Boomstick: The Fire Shield can absorb, well, fire and heat, though it can't survive underwater. No shit. But with it, Sonic can use a fiery dash attack.
“Flame on, little blue dude!” Flash cheered.
Lightning Shield
Impervious to Electricity
Electric Makeup
Disintegrates in Water
Magnetic Field
Mid-Air Jump
Wiz: The Lightning Shield can't survive in aquatic environments either, but it gives Sonic a mid-air jump for further aerial control.
“Bet those baddies like to feel ‘shocking’ from that.” Pinkie joked.
“Hmm, my detective instincts are telling that maybe something about Sonic and water.” Rarity said noticing when Boomstick and Wiz kept mentioning water.
Bubble Shield
Can Breathe Underwater
Water and Air Makeup
Bounce Attack
Bouncing Can Increase Jumping Height
Boomstick: And with the Bubble Shield, he can breathe underwater and control his jumps with a powerful bounce. Why do we keep mentioning water, you may ask? 'Cause he can't freakin' swim!
“Case closed.” Rarity snapped her fingers.
“Oh dear, must be hard to get around to someplace where there isn’t water.” Fluttershy said feeling bad for Sonic.
“Yeah, water can be a fierce enemy.” Spike growled a bit, remembering all the baths Twilight force him into.
Wiz: Sonic's ultimate power-up, however, isn't a shield at all. After absorbing thousands of Power Rings during his adventures, Sonic has become an embodiment of chaos.
“Chaos powers like Shadow, then that could mean…” Rainbow Dash paused her sentence as her eyes widen.
Wiz: Using the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can tap into their incredible power and summon the form of Super Sonic.
“I knew it!” Rainbow Dash cheered.
Super Form
1000% Power Increase
Automatic Flight
Unlimited Stamina
Invincible
Positive Energy Aura
Duration Based on a Time Limit
Boomstick: Super Sonic can fly, breathe underwater, and is completely invulnerable.
Wiz: Not to mention his speed is increased a thousand-fold.
“Math isn’t my thing, but that’s WAY more than my top speed in my pony-up form.” Rainbow Dash admitted.
“Indeed, you are correct. That would put Sonic far faster than the speed of sound.” Twilight stated.
“Going from blue to gold looks cool too.” Flash amazed.
“I don’t know, I think blue is definitely your strong suit.” Sunset complimented with a kiss on the cheek.
Boomstick: But as with most things that are unbelievably powerful, it has a time limit. Without a steady supply of power rings, it can't even last a full minute.
“Considering how fast he is, a minute is enough time for him.” Applejack chuckled.
Wiz: And when the form finally subsides, Sonic returns to normal at peak physical form, regardless of his condition prior to the transformation.
“Cool.” Flash said.
Boomstick: While Sonic's always risking his life saving the world from all kinds of dangerous robots and demigods, he's kind of a dick.
“Hey, Sonic is awesome!” Rainbow Dash snapped.
Wiz: Sonic is cocky, arrogant and addicted to action. He gets cranky and unstable when he's cooped up for too long.
Boomstick: And if you ignore him, hah, he'll straight up leave you!
“Almost like Rainbow Dash when she gets cranky.” Pinkie pointed out.
“Come on, I’m not that bad, am I?” Rainbow Dash asked concern.
“You kind of do, but you’re still a loyal friend to the end.” Sunset assured.
Wiz: But despite his rough personality, he'll do whatever it takes to save the day.
Sonic: Ooh, I'd like to hang, but I've gotta juice!
Sonic runs away from the enemy.
“Nice line, I should use it myself.” Rainbow Dash said.
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let’s end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It’s time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!
Sonic is calmly sitting in a field when Mario emerges from a pipe. As Sonic leaps back, Mario jumps down in front of him.
“Here comes the fated battle between rivals.” Rarity said.
“Red Man vs Blue Beast.” Applejack excited.
Sonic: All right, chubby. Let's settle this!
Mario: Let's-a go!
FIGHT
Sonic attacks Mario with fast combos and sends him onto the pipe he emerged from. Mario produces a Fire Flower and becomes Fire Mario. Sonic dodges the fireballs that Mario throws at him but gets hit by Mario's fire slide.
Mario: Wah-ha!
Mario hits Sonic a few times, then grabs him and spins around in a circle while holding him.
Mario: Here we go!
“Mario is coming in hot, literally!” Pinkie announced.
“Let’s hope Sonic can get the heat.” Flash said.
Mario throws Sonic against the pipe. Mario then uses his cape to throw Sonic upwards, allowing him to knock Sonic to the floor, spin him around in a lariat of fire, and throw him backwards. Mario then releases a massive storm of flame, the Mario Finale, but Sonic is unscathed by his Flame Shield.
“Oh yean, time for a speedy counterattack!” Rainbow Dash cheered.
“I do wonder where does he keep his shields if the only clothing he got are those shoes?” Twilight asked.
Sonic used his flame dash attack to hit Mario six times. Mario counters Sonic's dash with his hammer.
(Music: Final Bowser Battle - Super Mario Galaxy 2)
A short montage of the fight begins. Sonic throws a punch and Mario dodges it, but Sonic then hits Mario with his Homing Attack in the air. Mario then uses his Super Jump Punch at Sonic, and afterward Sonic is standing impatiently next to Tanooki Mario's statue form.
Everyone became amazes of the montage of the battle showing Sonic and Mario trying to beat down each other, though some are wondering about the statue part. Never the less, this battle is great.
After the montage, Sonic is running as Cape Mario flies after him. Sonic activates his Thunder Shield and dashes over to a volcano with a sad face.
“Aw, that is one sad volcano.” Pinkie commented.
“Less worry about the rock face, more focus on fight!” Rainbow Dash said.
Both the hedgehog and the plumber end up inside the volcano, staring at each other on opposite sides. A Bob-omb is caught between them. Alarmed, the Bob-omb informs several other Bob-ombs that their home is being apparently invaded by intruders.
“Uh-oh, that doesn’t look good.” Fluttershy worried.
Mario: Mama mia!
“You can say that again.” Spike surprised.
The Bob-ombs exploded, sending Mario and Sonic flying.
Sonic lands in a lake but activates his Bubble Shield to keep him breathing. However, Frog Mario ground pounds him, deactivating his shield. Sonic tries to jump out of the water, but no avail.
As soon the song plays, knowing he couldn't stay down any longer due to lack of swimming, Sonic tries to run out of the water before he drowns, but his efforts are futile.
“Now Sonic can’t get back up, this looks like the end for him.” Applejack said as she is about to reach her hat.
“Hold off the hat of respect, AJ. This fight is not over, not by a long shot.” Rainbow Dash believed.
Frog Mario swims up into the surface, until...
Sonic: Now I'll show you!
Something fast and gold hit Frog Mario emerging from the water and reveals Super Sonic.
“I knew it! Go get him, Super Sonic!” Rainbow Dash cheered.
Super Sonic: How's that plumber?
Mario: (*gets his Metal Cap out*) Woohoo!
Mario slaps on his Metal Cap, becoming Metal Mario.
Super Sonic tries to attack him, but Metal Mario grabs him and throws him aside. Super Sonic tries a few more attacks but to no avail.
“Looks like Mario got more iron guts than Sonic.” Sunset punned.
After Metal Mario sidekicks Super Sonic away, he produces a Power Star. Using the combined powers of the Metal Cap and the Power Star, he attacks Sonic with the Mario Tornado, only for the power to suddenly wear off.
“Mario might have won in that one if the power-ups didn’t wear off.” Rarity stated.
Super Sonic: So you're tougher than I thought, huh? Now it's time for me to finish... this...
Mario produces a Mega Mushroom and becomes Mega Mario.
Super Sonic: Whoa...
“Whoa is right, how will you get out of this one, Sonic?” Fluttershy asked.
(Music: Cues: Sonic 3 - Final Boss Theme (Orchestral))
Super Sonic continuously attacks Mega Mario, but his attacks do very little. Instead, Mega Mario punches Super Sonic away and the power of the Chaos Emeralds wears off, causing Super Sonic to return to peak physical bluish form.
Sonic: Uh-oh.
“Curses that stupid time limit!” Rainbow Dash raised her fist in the air.
“Don’t worry, I think Sonic can still win this.” Flash believed.
Sonic falls to the floor. His only option is to run as Mega Mario gives chase after he uses the Figure 8 technique.
Sonic: You're too slow!
Sonic outruns Mega Mario, who returns to normal size, albeit a bit dizzy.
Mario: D'oh!
After Mario was worn out, Sonic then returns back to the red capped plumber.
“Now’s your chance, Sonic!” Rainbow Dash shouted.
Now's my chance!
Sonic knocks Mario back and forward with the Spin Attack, while mid-air, Sonic then Axel Kicks Mario to the ground and Spin Dashes the back of the downed plumber. The blue speedy hedgehog then jumps off of the bloodied red capped plumber.
KO
“Fatality! Sonic Wins!” Pinkie announced.
“Awesomeness!” Rainbow Dash and Flash cheered.
Boomstick: Now that's what I call a Death Battle!
“Totally, never underestimate the blue dudes!” Flash said with a smug as Sunset rolls her eyes.
Wiz: Their power-ups seemed evenly matched, countering blow for blow.
Boomstick: Mario was even capable of countering the unstoppable Super Sonic!
“That certainly gave him the leg-up to stand a chance against Super Sonic.” Applejack nodded.
Wiz: But with their arsenals exhausted, Mario was no match for Sonic's natural speed. Even if they had used their lesser-known power-ups like the Ice Flower or Super Emeralds, there's no reason to say the result would be any different.
“Meaning Sonic could still win more fights than Mario.” Fluttershy guessed.
Boomstick: Looks like Mario just couldn't keep up.
“Nope, because he just couldn’t see the blue blur!” Rainbow Dash taunted.
Wiz: The Winner is Sonic.
“I think I just found my Number 1 favorite Death Battle.” Rainbow Dash smirked.
“It was very ‘dashing’ as I would put it.” Rarity nodded.
“Yeah, it makes you wonder if Death Battle would be doing a rematch of the fight.” Pinkie said.
“Even if they do, Sonic would still take the win.” Rainbow Dash smirked.
“And I believe you would still be a 1000x more awesome than him.” Flash complimented making her smiling blush.
“Oh, warming up to the speedy girl now.” Sunset teased her boyfriend.
“What, no, I wasn’t… I was just…” Flash flustered, trying to say something to counter.
“Let just move on to the next episode.” Flash said as Sunset giglges.
