Luigi Victory

Luigi is Mario's brother. And they were in the mushroom kingdom in princess peach's castle. But Mario kept on jumping over Luigi's head and passing the ball to toad and scoring. The score is 0-4 and Luigi only needs two shots to catch up. Then he comes up with an idea. He jumps into the snow picture and ran Mario off of the icy hill and he quit the level and went back into the lobby and passed the ball to the red flying turtle he flew over mario and made the score 2-4. Then Daisy took the ball and tried to pass it to Luigi, but Peach stole the ball and passed it to bomb-omb. When toadette tried to get the ball it exploded and Mario's team was disqualified. Until Mario snitched and told that Luigi through him off of the Snow hill level. So the game went on. With only 2 more lives left on each team. The game now had two ways to win. The first team to loose all of their lives and they die. Or they score more than the other team in 5 minutes. So Since Luigi didn't want to die he told himself he must win. So he kicked the red turtle and killed him and threw it at toad and toad died. Now the life chart read 1-2. So Peach retaliated and she picked up the red bomb-omb and she threw it at toadette. So toadette died. The life chart now read 1-1. So Mario and Luigi leaped into the Bowser level with shooting fire balls and lava shooting at them. Then Luigi heard Mario say Mama-Mia. So he assumed Mario died and a=he left the level. Luigi's team won. Game Over.
