Who Wants to be a Superpower?

Voice: Welcome to the twenty-fifth episode of "Who Wants to be a Superpower?"! No, I don't know how we got this far, either! Here's your host, who's only hosted twenty-three episodes, the Great Saiyaman!

(We return to the set.)

Saiyaman: Technically speaking, Voice, you've only done twenty-three yourself. Welcome to our twenty-five episode!

Voice: So, did we ever figure out what's so special about the twenty-fifth episode?

Saiyaman: No, not really, just that it's a big number in relation to any series.

Voice: Eh, works for me.

Saiyaman: Me too. Now, let's welcome our latest contestant, Dark Yoshi!

(Dark Yoshi walks out and sits down.)

Saiyaman: Thanks for being on the show, Dark Yoshi.

Dark Yoshi: Not a problem.

Voice: Why don't you tell the home audience a little about yourself?

Dark Yoshi: In order to avenge my family, I have come to reclaim the stolen gems of darkness and lightning which I have guarded for many years.

Saiyaman: Good luck with that. Now, being a special episode, we have a much better prize than usual tonight! We're giving a prize of a free trip to Hawaii!

Dark Yoshi: Wow!

Voice: You have to pay for the return ticket yourself, though.

Dark Yoshi: Not fair!

Saiyaman: We couldn't afford a round-trip ticket. So, do you know how to play?

Dark Yoshi: Uh, I think so.

Saiyaman: Good enough. Let's play "Who Wants to be a Superpower?"!

(The lights get very bright and circus music plays.)

Saiyaman: Um, what happened?

Voice: The money to pay for the prize came out of our special effects budget. We had to get our lighting from the local carnival. Let's see here. (returns the set to normal.) How's that?

Saiyaman: That's fine, I can work with this. We begin with Knowledge! Ready?

Dark Yoshi: Yes, sir!

Voice: How old can the world's oldest living animal be?

Dark Yoshi: A turtle of some kind and up to 200 years.

Saiyaman: What was the first match I did?

Dark Yoshi: Match #89.

Voice: Who's the main character of Cowboy Bebop?

Dark Yoshi: Spike Spiegel.

Saiyaman: In what match did Lemmy and Iggy quit?

Dark Yoshi: Match #81.

Voice: Who put the bop in the bop-shee-bop-shee-bop?

Dark Yoshi: Beats me.

Saiyaman: Was that last question weird to you?

Dark Yoshi: A little.

TIME!!!

Saiyaman: This brings us to our Creativity problem. This time around, you must determine a way to solve the national debt!

Dark Yoshi: You're kidding, right?

Saiyaman: Yeah, I just couldn't think up a good problem this time.

Dark Yoshi: I wouldn't know how to solve the national debt. That's a little more than most can handle.

Saiyaman: All right, I'll pass you. While you head into the Arena, we'll be right back.

(Commerical break!)

175: (narrating.) Next time on "Who Wants to be a Superpower?"...

(Open to a hospital, where Flip is lying out cold on a table with Game Guru and Digi in doctor outfits.)

Game Guru: It's no good! We're losing him!

Digi: Like hell we are! CLEAR! (slams Flip with defibrilators.) C'mon, man, you gotta live! You gotta pull through!

(Cut to another part of the Stadium.)

C. Falcon: So, Samus, you break up with me, only to now reveal that you're pregnant with my child!

Samus: Falcon, I have to confess...it's not your child.

C. Falcon: Then whose?

Fox: It was me and I'd do it again too!

Krystal: Bastard! (beats Fox to death with her staff.)

(Cut to another part of the Stadium.)

Adam: Are you sure you can disarm this missile, Knight?

Knight: (working on a missile.) Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

Adam: (takes a few steps back.)

(Cut to yet another part of the Stadium.)

Zelda: Oh, darling, I love you even more than before my sudden and inexplicable case of amnesia.

Ganondorf: (hiding a hammer behind his back.) Yes, dear, I know you do.

Link: Hey, wait a minute!

Navi: Hmm, opportunity's slapping me in the face here...

175: (narrating.) Tune in next week!

(We now return to the set.)

Voice: Hey, I do all the voice-over work on this show! I'm the Voice, for crying out loud!

Saiyaman: Calm down, it was just one stint. Dark Yoshi is already in the arena, preparing to face three foes with only two lives and no items. Here's the moveset...

  • B: Dark Blast (Charge Shot)
  • >B: Chaos Missle (Luigi's Green Missle)
  • vB: DL Striker (Pikachu's Thunder, but Black Lightning)
  • ^B: Chaos Control (Mewtwo's Teleport)

    Saiyaman: Dark Yoshi's initals are DY and his opponents are Bowser, Geno and Mewtwo. The arena choice is Final Destination. It looks like Dark Yoshi and Bowser are in the arena, so let's get going!
