History DarthWiki / ThereWillBeNintendo

* AmbiguousDisorder: Much like in DarthWiki/PokemonPixel, Red may be Autistic.

It begins in a similar way to the original: Luigi lives in Brawl City in the Mushroom Kingdom with his alcoholic short-tempered brother Mario. The kingdom is a CrapsackWorld; it is ridden with crime and corruption, the residents are often cynical jerks, and any hope gets stamped out faster than a snowflake melts in hell. It’s also been fused with fragments of various other worlds in an event merely called The Merge and flooded with refugees from these now destroyed worlds. However, Luigi starts noticing something odd; is this the real him? Would the real him turn to drug dealing? Would the real Mario really become a drunk, short-tempered grouch? Why did the Mushroom Kingdom deteriorate so much suddenly, anyway?

It turns out, The Writer, the BigBad behind Kirby the Cannibal is slowly corrupting everyone, brainwashing many others directly to further spread misery. As more and more heroes start gaining awareness of the lie they’re living, or already remember their past, they start to rebel. They must revive the Old Gods of Nintendo and bring Nintendo Magic back. The story then derails into a mix of major events from the original and a completely new story about rising up against the entity that has corrupted the once joyful Mushroom Kingdom.

However, Luigi starts getting memories of a different time; memories of a more colorful Mushroom Kingdom, of cart racing, and fun adventures. He has a feeling that his brother wasn’t always such a hot-tempered train wreck, and that everyone was… Different.

* TheCassandra: While in the original Red was rather oblivious to the bad stuff going on around him, here he’s perceptive and has long realized that something is up; he apparently tried to reach Mewtwo, knowing that the crime lord persona wasn’t the “real” him, trying to disband the gang by appealing to Mewtwo, and then remembers the Merge and seeing everyone become slowly corrupted (pending). At the beginning he tries to tell Luigi and Mario about the Merge and the corruption, but they don’t believe him, believing that the state of the Mushroom Kingdom has always been this way and Red to be JustAKid.
* ChildSoldiers: The Corruption takes root especially in traumatized children’s minds, though adults can also be corrupted (and to great effect, descending on the person). While Red is killed by Wario due to being deemed useless for Corruption, and Pit never gets dragged away, Ness, Lucas, Popo, and Nana aren’t so lucky. Kirby, TheBrute, is also one of these, and Patient Zero for the Corruption.

** Corrupted!Ness, Lucas, and the Ice Climbers as well.

* CorruptCops: Well, literally. [[spoiler:In “Trouble At The Station”, relatively early in the story, as Marth comes to realize that the Jerkass way he’s been behaving isn’t the real him, Ike, Marth, Saki, and Issac are Trophyfied and taken away, with Ike and Marth facilitating Link, Zelda, and Mist’s escape. They’re, to Link’s horror, subsequently subject to The Corruption and rebuilt into the Black Knights so The Writer can enforce their rule through them. Ike is the least affected, keeping some of his old personality and mercifulness, Marth regresses into becoming his arrogant, spiteful, and brutal self, but still is shown to have mercy left in him (this is impressive as they’re both forced to relive their friends’ deaths in the Merge, with Marth also being tortured with his wife’s memory especially), but poor Issac and Saki are deeply corrupted to the point of insanity and they become sadistic monsters]].
* CynicismCatalyst: Those who remember the Merge appear to be Jerkasses now because of the trauma triggered by it and the deterioration of the Mushroom Kingdom… However, it turns out that many of the heroes would have never become such terrible people even with such massive trauma, and their changes in personality are because of the ambient Corruption.
** Marth for example appears to be a Jerkass because of the Merge killing his kingdom, friends, and wife… But he starts realizing that his way of taking it out on others makes no sense.

** Green Oak does not want anything to do with his terrible surroundings and constantly lives in fear. He naturally thinks Red and Leaf are nuts for what they do. However, this isn’t portrayed as a bad thing, and more a reasonable response for an 11/12 year old to his surroundings. [[spoiler:Still, he charges into battle atop his Charizard, Sepaltra’s - the one he lent to Red - back in the climax, leading the other Pokémon alongside Yellow and Luka]].

* YankTheDogsChain: Hinawa and Claus were actually revived in the new world created by the Merge; only for them to be brutally killed again in front of Lucas in order to facilitate his Corruption.

* IHaveYourWife: Why Olimar cooperates with The Writer; his family is being held captive, and he has to make weapons of mass destruction in hope that his family won’t be hurt. He obviously feels guilty about this, and is pretty joyful when the heroes finally free him.

** Ness, Lucas, and Red are very close. Ness and Red served as Lucas’ motivation to keep his head up despite it all, and the two understandably are a bit protective of him.

* CorruptCops: Well, literally. [[spoiler:In “Trouble At The Station”, relatively early in the story, Ike, Marth, Saki, and Issac are Trophyfied and taken away, with Ike and Marth facilitating Link, Zelda, and Mist’s escape.

* CorruptCops: Well, literally. [[spoiler:In “Trouble At The Station”, about mid to early story, Ike, Marth, Saki, and Issac are Trophyfied and taken away, with Ike and Marth facilitating Link, Zelda, and Mist’s escape. They’re, to Link’s horror, subsequently subject to The Corruption and rebuilt into the Black Knights so The Writer can enforce their rule through them.

* DisabledBadass: AscendedExtra Sonic the Hedgehog; his legs have been broken, and he’s understandably depressed about it when Mario and Luigi encounter him; Tails can’t access the tech needed to make advanced enough prosthetics at this time. However, Yoshi gives him another option to fight; Sonic can ride him into battle, spin dashing and using himself as a slingshot bullet. He becomes a mainstay combatant as a result.

* MindRape: The Corruption process is basically torture. Apparently it’s easier for it to take route of the target is traumatized, and especially if the target is a child.

* ChildSoldiers: The Corruption takes root especially in traumatized children’s minds, though adults can also be corrupted. While Red is killed by Wario due to being deemed useless for Corruption, and Pit never gets dragged away, Ness, Lucas, Popo, and Nana aren’t so lucky. Kirby, TheDragon, is also one of these, and Patient Zero for the Corruption.

* TheMourningAfter: To say Marth is very distressed with not only the survivor’s guilt of seeing all his friends die in the Merge and knowing his kingdom is destroyed, but about the death of Caeda, his wife, is an understatement. He basically keeps her Wing Spear as a SecurityBlanket, having an almost creepy obsession with it and clinging onto it for dear life. He does try to act like he’s okay on the surface, but he never truly gets over Caeda, and Mist once catches him crying Caeda’s name in bed as he hugs the spear. He cannot bare the idea of losing someone else, so he desperately hopes that Roy is still alive, much like Eliwood, both of them almost delusional in their belief due to the fact that a body was never found. [[spoiler:Turns out Marth and Eliwood were right though]].
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:Roy is actually alive. He’s being used as a test subject for The Corruption, but manages to maintain his sanity somehow throughout it all. When he’s freed, he joins the resistance. Eventually, he talks sense into Marth as The Corruption threatens to take hold on him.]]

** Disturbingly, Pit and Malon, the former who is physically and mentally 13, the latter who is 14. To make it worse, Pit was inspired by Samus to take this path. Though he initially claims that he “serves drinks” at the bar. The owner deliberately puts him only on serving duty when Falcon comes for a drink, and the charade keeps up until Pit finally confesses.

** Ike and Marth, as well as the former’s sister Mist, have stuck together since the Merge, finding solace in their similar backstories as the only survivors of their respective armies. They are still basically inseparable.

* TakingUpTheMantle: [[spoiler:After Ike dies, Mist takes up Raganel in memory of his brother, having received training before by Ike and Marth, though she has issues wielding it at first. She also ties Ike’s headband around her head for extra luck]].

* YankTheDogsChain: Hinawa and Claus were actually revived in the new world created that became Brawl City; only for them to be brutally killed again in front of Lucas in order to facilitate his Corruption.

Luigi lives in Brawl City, working as a plumber with his short-tempered brother Mario. Brawl City is a CrapsackWorld; it is ridden with crime and corruption, the residents are often cynical jerks, and any hope gets stamped out faster than a snowflake melts in hell. However, Luigi starts getting memories of a different time; memories of a colorful kingdom run by Peach, of cart racing, and fun. He has a feeling that his brother wasn’t always such a hot-tempered train wreck, and that everyone was… Different.

It turns out, The Writer, the tyrant of Brawl City, fused their worlds together, and is slowly corrupting them, brainwashing many others directly to further spread misery. As more and more heroes start gaining awareness of the lie they’re living, or already remember their past,
they start to rebel. They must revive the Old Gods of Nintendo and bring Nintendo Magic back.

* AnybodyCanDie: As a general rule, if a character dies in the original, they die here.

* ChildSoldiers: The Corruption takes root especially in traumatized children’s minds, though adults can also be corrupted. While Red dies before he’s able to be corrupted, and Pit never gets dragged away, Ness, Lucas, Popo, and Nana aren’t so lucky. Kirby, TheDragon, is also one of these, and Patient Zero for the Corruption.

** Red also has his pre-timeskip personality from DarthWiki/PokemonPixel, which is that of a plucky, but Adorakable kid who will charge into danger if it’s for what’s right. Unfortunately, this results in his death.

There Will Be Nintendo is a parody/“counter-fic” of WebOriginal/ThereWillBeBrawl, originally a concept conceived in spite of the web series when the writer, [=AceTrainerErika604=], also known as shonengirl on ThisVeryWiki, was 14.

Luigi lives in Smash City, working as a plumber with his short-tempered brother Mario. Smash City is a CrapsackWorld; it is ridden with crime, the residents are often cynical jerks, and any hope gets stamped out faster than a snowflake melts in hell. However, Luigi starts getting memories of a different time; memories of a colorful kingdom run by Peach, of cart racing, and fun.

It turns out, The Writer, the tyrant of Smash city, fused their worlds together, and is slowly corrupting them, brainwashing many others directly to further spread misery. As more and more heroes start gaining awareness of the lie they’re living, or already remember their past, and they start to rebel. They must revive the Old Gods and bring Nintendo Magic back.
