''[[https://www.deviantart.com/poker10403/art/Bad-things-will-happen-486218730 Bad Things Will Happen]]'' is a ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' manga by [[https://www.deviantart.com/poker10403 poker10403]] on Deviantart.

There are currently six chapters completed, comprising over 100 pages, but the comic has been [[OrphanedSeries dead for a few years.]] However, @/{{BOOM-Fanfic-a-Latta}} has, with permission from the comic's creator, created a [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ifZpj0Wy9hDGKa8ncSaURFK3_w9rtREJOKogJQCT3Lw/edit?usp=sharing transcript]] of the comic (with a few minor changes for better grammar and flow), and is currently working on a novelization/continuation of the story.

A full compilation of the manga, also created by BOOM, can be found [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/19IH4CZj3PCcIVxYe9rcl9M0d0lzhUZkxsTo7kd2xfHQ/edit?usp=sharing here]].

!! This FanWebcomic provides examples of:

* {{Adorkable}}: Luigi. Even though he's gotten much stronger, he's still the same adorable coward as always--preferring to run rather than fight, getting excited when E Gadd returns his hat, giving nicknames to the baby ghosts...

* CoolAirship: [[spoiler:Bowser]] has a ''fleet'' of cool airships--''literal'' flying ships. [[spoiler:Too bad the fleet was destroyed by a bunch of Drifblims...]]

* TrainingFromHell: Shizen the Chandelure and his Litwick students put Mario through this in Chapter 4. Out in the freezing cold? Check. Blood was drawn to prove a point? Check. Attacking without warning? Check. A BulletHell of fireballs? Check. Needless to say, Mario nearly ''dies'' at ''least'' twice. [[{{Pun}} The fact that those in charge of the training are ''ghosts'' also gives this a ''literal'' side.]]

!! This fan manga provides examples of:
* AdaptationNameChange: In the transcript, a few unnamed Pokémon are given names for clarity reasons, e.g. Smog the Gastly.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Mario has his [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memories erased]] by Gengar, and ends up [[FaceHeelTurn working for him]]. His personality doesn't change too much, though as time goes by, he has gotten continually more agressive.
* CliffHanger: Because it's unfinished, the entire comic ends on a major one. [[spoiler:The Mushroom Kingdom has been overthrown by Gengar's forces, Peach and Toad are heading off with Yoshi to get help, Bowser's forces have been [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]], and then there's the wham shot revealing LaResistance...]]

* CrazyEnoughToWork: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]. How does the team finally defeat the [[spoiler:Boolossus?]] Luigi uses a Pokéball. Which actually ''works,'' in spite of the fact that Boos are not Pokémon.

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' and ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' are mostly light-hearted franchises. This story is ''much'' darker--death is mentioned quite a bit, wounds are both visible and severe, [[spoiler:the Mushroom Kingdom its invaded and taken over...]]

* PokemonSpeak: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] ''All'' Pokémon that appear in the comic speak normally, except for during one scene--and that was a flashback. Even then, it's only for a small part of the flashback.

** Gengar, as per his species's norm, has red eyes.

** PlayedStraight in a different example: at the end of Chapter 5, a Toad named Dave remarks that at least Bowser hasn't attacked yet while the Bros are missing, and [[LampshadeHanging everyone calls him out on it]]. [[spoiler:Almost immediately after this, they learn about Gengar's forces having begun their invasion of the kingdom.]]
* TrainingFromHell: Shizen the Chandelure and his Litwick students put Mario through this in Chapter 4. Out in the freezing cold? Check. Blood drawn to prove a point? Check. Attacking without warning? Check. A BulletHell of fireballs? Check. Needless to say, Mario nearly ''dies'' at ''least'' twice.
* WhamShot: The last two pages of Chapter 6, big time. [[spoiler: Bowser is helplessly looking on as his troops are falling to Gengar's forces, when an unknown voice calls out to him. The next page reveals a Gastly (named Ameer in the transcript), who tells Bowser to [[ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive come with him if he doesn't want to die]] (Which itself is a WhamLine). In the background, various Pokémon, Toads, and members of Bowser's forces are heading into a warp pipe.]] Doubles as a CliffHanger because the story is left unfinished after this.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Mario has his memories erased by Gengar, and ends up [[FaceHeelTurn working for him]]. His personality doesn't change too much, though as time goes by, he has gotten continually more agressive.

* FreudianExcuse: In an early flashback, it's revealed that Gengar's trainer abandoned him and was a total jerk. [[spoiler:This still doesn't excuse the fact that Gengar is ''planning to kill all humans.'']]

%% * HeroicBSOD: When Luigi first learns that Mario is [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]], he temporarily falls into this.

%% * AmplifierArtifact: The ruby in King Boo's crown works like this.
%% * BadassAdorable: The baby Ghost Types (Flame the Gastly, Lyly the Shuppet, and Skull the Duskull). They're only babies, are very sweet and polite... and they managed to stand up to the [[spoiler:'''''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Boolossus.]]''''']]

%% * BerserkButton: Miray the Banette is ''NOT'' a boy. She is a ''girl''. Luigi and Soul found this out the hard way.

%% * EvilLaugh: [[BigBad Gengar]] has quite the good one (It's not always an ''evil'' laugh, though).
%%* AFatherToHisMen: Gengar seems to really care about Mario, but it's hard to tell whether this is actually genuine or only just a trick.

%% * PlayingWithFire: Mario. He can even ''breathe'' fire!

%% ** Gengar.
%% ** [[MindControlEyes Mario]] once he gets [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]].

%% * TemptingFate:
%% ** Happens quite a lot to Team Luigi, but it [[PlayingWithATrope isn't always a bad thing]]--because of tempting fate, the group met the baby ghosts, as well as discovered Reep in time to nurse him back to health.

* EvilLaugh: [[BigBad Gengar]] has quite the good one (It's not always an ''evil'' laugh, though).

* MeaningfulName: ''Soul'' the Haunter. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Luigi upon learning his name, who says that he couldn't think of a better name for a ghost.
** Also, [[InvokedTrope invoked]] (for the most part) with the baby ghosts. Flame got his name because he looks like a purple fireball, while Skull's face is a, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin skull]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Lyly, though.
---> '''Lyly''': It has no special reason. I just wanted that name.
* PlayingWithFire: Mario. He can even ''breathe'' fire!
