Fanfic / Mario and Yoshi's Adventure Land

Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land is a completed fanfiction adaptation of the Japanese interactive anime of the same name written by nintendoscript15.

An extended adaptation of Super Mario World, Jim Heeding of Austin, Texas receives a Terebikko video game system from a Japanese family friend alongside a Japanese anime cassette titled Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land. Jim is teleported into the Mushroom Kingdom after starting up the anime and meets the famous Super Mario Bros. Not too long after, they get an invitation to Dinosaur Land from Princess Peach and Yoshi. But things take a serious turn after Bowser captures Princess Peach and Yoshi's friends. So, the trio set off on a fun and exciting adventure while overcoming various obstacles along the way.

Here's the link for the fanfic.

This Fanfiction contains examples of:

• 10-Minute Retirement: After Luigi lashes out at Mario for laughing at him following the destruction of Wendy’s Castle, Mario is so heartbroken from being insulted that he gives up almost instantly, blaming himself for his actions. Knowing that Peach is counting on Mario for her safety, Yoshi snaps Mario out of it, convincing him to keep going.
• Adaptation Name Change: Chocolate Island’s name is changed to Chocolate Plateau to avoid using the same landform type for different regions.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: In the original, immediately after Luigi runs away from being laughed at after Wendy's Castle blew up, Mario is astonished by Luigi’s mood and brushes off the need for his help. Here, however, Mario only laughs at Luigi’s dirty appearance involuntarily, not intending to hurt Luigi’s feelings, and even then, unlike the original anime, he realizes that the explosives have a delay before they go off and tries to warn him about the fact that he has to get away from there, but he's too slow and Luigi gets caught up in the explosion. When Luigi runs away, screams at him and disowns him, Mario feels remorseful for what he did; his guilt results in him apologizing to Luigi after the final battle. The story is also on DeviantArt, and Mario was altered to match how he's feeling, as the scene uses an earlier screenshot from the scene in the original anime: The Yoshis look concerned over what happened and Mario is shown to be shocked like in this screenshot instead of being annoyed by the inconvenience, but there are photo-shopped tears in his eyes and the placement of his right arm has been altered with a Photoshop of his arm from game artworks to match how he put a hand on his heart after Luigi's insult, though the angle causes it to mix-up with a Yellow Yoshi's body.
• Adapted Out: Unlike the original, all references to the Terebikko are removed, with the exception of Jim receiving one as an early Christmas present in the beginning.
• Affectionate Nickname: Both Mario and Luigi call Jim “buddy”.
• And Your Reward Is Edible: As soon as the group rescues Princess Peach from Bowser’s clutches, they all have a celebratory late lunch at Yoshi’s Island.
• Ash Face: This is how Luigi ended up after being caught in the implosion of Wendy’s Castle.

  • As always, Luigi looks up to Mario.
• Big "NO!":
  • Jim lets out two of them after Mario says the group needs to jump off the Coin Heaven towards the Forest of Illusion because he’s afraid of dying from the jump.
  • Mario does this after Luigi interrupts his apology, yelling for Jim and Luigi to let him speak.
• Big "SHUT UP!": Luigi does this while Mario and the Yoshis laugh at his appearance following the implosion of Wendy’s Castle. They stop immediately when Luigi loses it.
  Luigi: BE QUIET! ALL OF YOU! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS LAUGH AT ME AT THE WRONG TIME?! IT’S NOT FUNNY AND YOU KNOW IT!
• Big "WHAT?!":
  • Bowser does this after finding out that Iggy and Lemmy failed to defeat Mario.

• Don't Look Down: While at the Coin Heaven, Jim accidentally looks down at the ground, causing him to panic.
• Egg MacGuffin: Yoshi's friends were sealed inside multi-colored eggs and hidden in Wendy's Castle. The same goes for Yoshi and Red Yoshi, except they were found in Yoshi's Island and Cookie Mountain, respectively.
• Endless Daytime: The original shows the environment to be daytime throughout its entirety. This is averted in this fanfic, which takes place over the course of two and one-quarter days, complete with the sun setting and rising. Because of that, the group stops at certain points to get their sleep.
• "Eureka!" Moment: While the Boos swarm around the group, Jim has had enough of the darkness and turns on his flashlight, inadvertently pointing it at some of the Boos, which disappear almost immediately. Mario and Jim are both confused as to why that happened until a few seconds later when Mario deduces that the Boos’ weakness is light. Jim then shines his flashlight at all the Boos until they’re all gone.

• We Will Meet Again: Iggy vows that he'll fight Mario again another day after his minions are defeated.
• Wham Line: Luigi screaming at Mario that he hates him after he ends up laughing alongside the Yoshis when Wendy's castle explodes and leaves him all dirty.
