Well then, the cat's finally out of the bag everyone. I'm pleased to announce that Team Starshroom and I are working on a brand new VShojo + Super Mario crossover episode, mainly focused on Michi Mochievee, the most recent member of the VShojo VTuber group! This is a Mario vs. Donkey Kong-inspired puzzle-platformer episode that is designed to follow up on the original mechanics and puzzles from the game, while keeping the experience fresh for SMBX players and those who are familiar with the gameplay style of Mario vs. DK prior to March of the Minis.
It's been in the works since August 2024, so keep an eye out for new updates! This episode is set in the same continuity as Captain Toad: Prism Star Quest, which you can also check out here.
STORYLINE
LUIGI'S STORY
The Mushroom Kingdom National Museum is set to have its grand opening on Princess Peach's birthday week. As the security system is still in the works, Toadsworth has assigned Mario and Luigi to head on to the museum and guard it from dastardly thieves in the middle of the night. The problem is that Mario's on vacation (and so is Peach), so Luigi has to fly solo for this one instead. A teenage student Toad named Ingenui T. is determined to help Luigi get ready to defend the museum from any acts of theft, and now they got two thieves to look out for - Michi Mochievee and The Shy Shadow! When these two break into the museum to steal the Star Gems, Luigi and Ingenui T. must venture into the Mushroom Kingdom National Museum and work their way around the security systems (in the form of puzzles) and watch out for a security robot who has gone cuckoo!
MICHI'S STORY
The Shy Shadow has broken out of Spotcap City prison in a daring escape while the guards are quiet. And he is determined to get to the museum before its grand opening to steal the precious Star Gems, as seen on TV. Well, he can't do this alone as he notes the highly-sophisticated potential of its upcoming security system (which is designed after several puzzles), so he seeks the help of renowned thief and scam artist from another world, Michi Mochievee. It seems that she is also interested in the Star Gems as well, so she teams up with the Shy Shadow to cooperate and break through the museum's security systems, as well as combat against a new security robot who's powered with a sense of artificial intelligence.
