"The potatoes! Of all the people I forgot to invite to the wedding, I forget to bring the potatoes!"
What Goes On is a Super Smash Bros. fanfiction by The Great Chicken Miasma. After a long period of not being updated since early 2009. The story was recently updated. It can be found here —Ness, making no sense. Par for the course.

This Fanfic provides examples of:
- Accidental Kiss: Where Ness and Lucas' issues start.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Sandbag. Inanimate object you hit to get items, or smack-talking Jerk Ass who insults you to make you hit it harder?
- Author Appeal: This girl loves her Ness and Lucas.
- Berserk Button: By all that is holy, DON'T MESS UP LUCAS' HAIR.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Everyone except Lucas gets a case of this due to being forced to listen to Porky's pirate radio station.
- Break the Cutie: Lucas does unspeakable things to Toon Link when he feels like he's cramping him and Ness' style. That doesn't stop TL from joining the group eventually though.
- Chekhov's Gun: Ness would have died by Nesskiller's if it weren't for the evil cookies he got in the previous story.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Lucas and later Ness during Subspace Emissary week.
- Cloud Cuckooland: YES.
- Crack Fic: While it has a plot, everyone constantly forgets about the broken Wii and is preoccupied by more random stuff.
- Disaster Dominoes: Chapter 5. Just Chapter 5 full stop. And all because Lucas was choking on a donut.
- Driven to Suicide: Ness almost does this when everyone but Lucas (not that it helps) has become Porky loving zombies.
- Earworm: Porky tortures everyone in the Smash Mansion by planting the Pig King statue on the front lawn and having it blare his theme constantly. Needless to say, it gets on everyone's nerves.
- Evil Tastes Good: The Dark Side has evil cookies.
- Five-Man Band
- The Hero: Ness
- The Lancer: Pikachu
- The Smart Girl: Nana, mainly to highlight Popo's stupidity
- The Big Guy: Kirby, and possibly Popo
- The Chick: Lucas
- The Sixth Ranger: Toon Link
- Gratuitous Spanish: The Ultimate Chimera, aka Seņor Shnugglebutt Fluffykins, speaks random Spanish.
- Ho Yay: Between Ness and Lucas, but it's one-sided toward Ness. Red also acts this way toward Lucas (who ironically does not return the feelings).
- Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Happens to Ness in one chapter.
- Only Sane Man: Nana and Toon Link share this role within the main group. In the Smashers at large, it seems to be Lucario.
- Running Gag: Popo repeatedly suggesting they do a ritual to revive Schlemiel.... even though they tried it in the fist chapter with Lucas getting possessed.
- Shout-Out: Several, mainly to whatever Internet meme seems to be most popular at the time the chapter was written.
- Take That!: Usually affectionate.
- Too Dumb to Live: Popo
- What the Hell, Hero?: Ness calls everyone out on this after they do nothing to attempt to save him from Rayquaza.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: Porky doesn't seem to have a problem with it, but everyone else can clearly see that it's not a great state to be in. And the only reason he bugs them is because he's bored, a major complication of this trope.
- Yiddish as a Second Language: They named their Wii Schlemiel. That tells you something.
