Item Ratio: Medium

175: Gooooooooood morning, Super Smash Stadium! Beautiful day here, boy, let me tell you! Perfect for an ice cold soda!
Saiyaman: Hey, you're not doing match narration today.
175: Huh? I'm not?
Saiyaman: No, you agreed to do the next one, remember?
175: Oh yeah, I remember now. Oh well, later then. (Leaves.)
Saiyaman: (Takes his seat.) He took that well.
Amber: (Takes her seat.) Unusually so, don't you think?
Saiyaman: Yeah, but we have to get to the match.
Amber: Well, we're running behind, so we'll just jump to the backstory. (Pops in the tape.)
(On the tape, we see Mario fixing a Game and Watch for the Ice Climbers.)
Mario: Here you go, fellows! Good as-a new!
Nana: Wow! Thanks, Mr. Mario! Thanks for getting Dr. Mario to fix it for us.
Mario: No-a problem.
Popo: Where is Dr. Mario, anyway? We should thank him in person.
Mario: He, uh, left to-a go to the hospital and help-a the orphans.
Popo: Oh well, we'll thank him later. (Starts playing with the Game and Watch.)
Nana: Hey, it's my turn. Gimmie that!
Popo: No, it's my turn!
(Popo and Nana struggle for the Game and Watch, only to drop it, but from the ruins of it comes the world-famous Mr. Game and Watch!)
Mario: Mama mia! The game, she is alive!
Mr. Game and Watch: (Says something, but it comes out in bleeps and bloops.)
Popo: What's he saying?
Nana: Maybe he can write it down for us.
Mr. Game and Watch: (Picks up a pencil and paper and writes "I was always alive. I just needed to get out of that cramped game.")
Popo: Wow, but now we can't play our game!
Nana: Wah, it's your fault, Popo!
Popo: No, it's your fault!
Mr. Game and Watch: (Writes "Guys, getting out was nice, but being smashed on the floor has put me in a real bad mood, so don't push it, okay?")
Ice Climbers: (Continue to argue with each other.)
Mario: I don't-a think you'll get their attention with the writing.
Mr. Game and Watch: (Writes "Now, don't YOU start.")
Ice Climbers: (Still arguing.)
Mr. Game and Watch: (Gets frustrated and bonks them over the head.)
Popo: Hey, our game is being mean to us!
Nana: Let's beat him up in a match to get back at him!
Popo: Yeah, and Mario can come with us to make sure he gets his what-for!
Mr. Game and Watch: (Sighs.)
Mario: Oh great...
(...and the tape ends.)
Saiyaman: Actually, since the fight is a free-for-all, Mario won't be taking any sides during this match. At least that's what we think. You never know.
Amber: The item ratio is medium with all items in play. The arena is going to be the Game and Watch area, just for the sake of introducing Mr. Game and Watch. Each contestant has five lives, mainly because this arena is so easy to get KOed in.
Saiyaman: Okay, that covers all the bases and our contestants have just entered the arena, so you know what that means!
Amber: Yup! (Pulls out two sodas.) Refreshments! You had the Pepsi and I have the Mountain Dew.
Saiyaman: Thanks. Also, we have to start the match!
Amber: Ahem...ladies and gentlemen...
Saiyaman: Boys and girls...
Amber: Crash Dummies the world over...
Saiyaman: SSS tried and failed to avoid bringing you...
Amber: THE ONLY CATGIRL WHO WON'T SUBMIT TO THE UNWRITTEN RULES OF ANIME, AMBER!
Saiyaman: THE NEWEST SUPERPOWER, SAIYAMAN!
Both: YOUR SSS COMMENTATORS!
Amber: Now, for the sixty-three million in attendance...
Saiyaman: And for the sixty-three million and one watching worldwide...
Amber: IT'S SMASHING TIME!

Saiyaman: Mario runs at the Ice Climbers with a running attack, but the Ice Climbers use their Squall Hammer on him! Mr. Game and Watch runs in and gets them both with his own running attack!
Amber: Mario fires a Fireball at Mr. Game and Watch, who catches it with Oil Panic! Speaking of Oil Panic, oil has just spilled on the arena, causing the fighters some movement problems! The Ice Climbers try to run off the oil and get their control back, but Mario manages to Smash them as they try to make a break for it!
Saiyaman: Mr. Game and Match starts flinging Sausages at them both, scoring a few minor hits, then uses Fire to leap onto a platform and out of the oil! Mario also gets out with his Super Jump Punch, smacking the Ice Climbers as well, who use Blizzard on Mr. Game and Watch!
Amber: The platform they're standing on disappears, leaving all three to fall down. However, Mr. Game and Watch uses that time to fall close to Mario and smack him with a few punches! Mario starts punching back, but the Ice Climbers slam through them both with a running attack!
Saiyaman: I'd say it's item time! (Tosses in a barrel.) Mario grabs Mr. Game and Watch and throws him into the barrel, which breaks and reveals a Super Scope! Mr. Game and Watch grabs it and fires a few shots at the Ice Climbers, who shield and deflect the blows!
Amber: The Ice Climbers use a Smash attack on Mario, who counters with a low-Smash of his own! However, they fail to notice Mr. Game and Watch charging up the Super Scope for an extra-large blast, which manages to connect with the attacking Mario! Mario goes flying out of the arena!
Saiyaman: Whoa, KO already?
Amber: Honey, it IS the smallest arena we've got. That's why the contestants have five lives.

Amber: Mario pulls out a Cape attack on Mr. Game and Watch, flipping him around and leaving him vunerable to a throw, which sends him into the Ice Climbers! Mario dashes toward them, leaping over the Ice Climber's Blizzard attack which hits Mr. Game and Watch, and connects with a downward attack!
Saiyaman: Mr. Game and Watch smacks them both away with a downward Smash, then leaps out of the chaos onto a nearby platform! Mario follows with a Super Jump Punch, but Mr. Game and Watch shields against the blow and counters with a Smash attack!
Amber: The Ice Climbers get them both as they follow them up there with their Squall Hammer attack, but I think it's time for an item! (Throws something random in.) Ack, that's a Hammer and the Ice Climbers have it! It looks like...wait, the head just came off.
Saiyaman: That leaves the Ice Climbers as an easy target as Mario pulls out a Smash attack and knocks them out of the arena, but Mr. Game and Watch gets his mits on the Hammer Head, scoring good damage by tossing it into Mario!

Saiyaman: (Tosses in a capsule.) That capsule just landed on the right edge of the arena and all scramble to get it, but Mr. Game and Watch gets his hands on it first, tossing it into the Ice Climbers and revealing a Red Shell! He gives it a toss, only to have it slam back into him due to the fact that he was closest!
Amber: The contestants head for the high ground to avoid the shell, jumping on the roof of the nearby house! Mr. Game and Watch grabs Mario and throws him off the side of the arena, but the Ice Climbers Smash Mr. Game and Watch, KOing him too!
Saiyaman: Both combatants return and double-team on the Ice Climbers, using a combo of punches from both sides giving no time for the Ice Climbers to escape or shield! In the end, Mr. Game and Watch pulls out a throw, sending the Ice Climbers away once again!
Amber: With them gone again, Mario turns his attention to Mr. Game and Watch, throwing him down and low-Smashing him! Mr. Game and Watch falls to the arena floor with Mario in pursuit, but Mr. Game and Watch pulls out an upward-Smash fast enough to get Mario before he can react!

THIS GAME'S WINNER IS...MR. GAME AND WATCH!
Saiyaman: Oh, so that's how that move works. I could never figure out how to do it in SSBM.
Amber: Live and learn. Let's go to Navi for the interviews. Navi?
Navi: Thank you, Amber. I'm here with Mario. Mario, your thoughts?
Mario: How did-a I get involved in this?
Navi: Beats me. Mr. Game and Watch?
Mr. Game and Watch: (Writes out "I'm feeling pretty good after winning. I think I'll see about getting hired here as a fighter.")
Navi: Be good to have you aboard. Ice Climbers?
Ice Climbers: Stupid game!
Navi: Back to you.
Saiyaman: This leaves one thing: questions!
1. Will the Ice Climbers get their revenge on Mr. Game and Watch?
2. Will Mr. Game and Watch one day learn to speak English?
3. Why did the Ice Climbers have a Game and Watch unit? Don't they have a GBA?
4. Is cherry pie more preferred than apple pie?
Amber: What does that question have to do with anything?
Saiyaman: Beats me. Well, see you later, everyone!
