Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown

WT, help! During a special mission of mine, I had to go into a fight with this weird thing, and no matter how powerful my attacks are, nothing seems effective! I need you to find someone who can give him a good sparking punch-out! Are you up to the task?

Now we fight... With our MIIINDS!
 
How about that pirate ghost? Eh? Eh? What'd I tell you? You got them suck-eeeeerrrupting fans cheering so loud you couldn't hear a Bulky Bob-omb exploding. And trust me, pal, that's just what I was listening for.

Wuzzat? Where have I been? Where have I been?

I've been finding the answer to all of our problems, my goop-clutching compadre. You clutch goop, right? Think I heard it in, ueh, your theme song or something. But don't you worry about that - orthecoupleofCDsinyourofficethatbusted - when there's bigger fish to fry. That's right! I'm moving back out, 'cause I've got a fighter that'll slip us both out of these Happy Lucky Chains. Take a look up my sleeve and see for yourself the unbelievable, the bottomless, the green and gold machine...

COIN COFFER

"Hack, Pthh, Chuch"? That's in your head right now, am I right, or am I right? You're thinking "Honio, what is this, a sack with smoker's lung"? Au the contrary, my amiguay - that's a little Parisian for you, a little moi de champagne before we celebrate slipping these handcuffs off tonight. This is a Coffer, not a cougher. What's it do? What's it do? Waluigi Time, my tomato stain on a suit jacket, this little croaker makes dreams come true!

It spits out money! Cold hard cash! Are you hearing me, my Chuck-commander? Are you HEARING ME? We're scot-free! The Bob-ombs? They're paid! Your munchies company? Rolling in the dough! The police? I hear that Shmue Toad's a strickler, but, hey, leave it to your old pal to schmooze over the cops and massage the boys in blue. We're living large, and all you've got to do is put this little croaker in the ring!

Losing him? No sirree. You ain't losing him in there. Little croaker can turn invisible! Ain't that great? Ain't he just the best thing you ever laid eyes on? Almost brings a tear to my eye. She's like the child I never raised for my cousin when he lost the kids to the wife. She'll get in the ring, run around unseen like that Shmaluigi bozo going undercover, do some hops, and pelt the other guy with coins until we collect our cas- hhhhit the bell for the knockout.

Explodes when they run out of money? Lose money when they're hit? Wuzzat? You've been reading too much of those eggheads' journals again, am I right? Don't think too hard about it. This is our golden goose! We're cornerin' New Wikisburg with this. You and me, we'll own the joint! That big skyscraper tearing down the bamboo, HypnoDimentio Neptunia and whatever his Bowserpodium is, that two-bit newspaper, even the pride of the peddling corner Toadbert, anything you want, you'll get it! We'll get it. And, most important of all, your office is yours again, friend. Mi casa es mi case and ye casa is yu casa. What'd'ya say?
 
That's a wrap, input on Issue 188 is now closed! Thank you for participating, I'll see you in a couple weeks with the next match!
 
Input for Issue 189 is now open until November 26th! The Holiday Special's theme is racing games, so for this month, I want you to nominate some fast characters! Characters that fight using vehicles are also welcome.

If you'd prefer not to nominate a fighter, you can vote for one of these by leaving a reaction on this post. Making full posts in support of one of these candidates is also welcome and will increase their chances!
  • Bowser Jr. - When I said "characters that fight using vehicles" there's a good chance this guy came to mind. Bowser Jr.'s famous for fighting in his Junior Clown Car, and it's loaded with weaponry to make that happen. It's even got retractable wheels for a good karting session! If you'd like to see Bowser Jr. in the next match, react with Wow (😮).
  • Hot Roderick - If a proper car is more your style, then there's no better fighter than Hot Roderick. He's got plenty of projectiles up his sleeve, and he sticks with his car to the end - even if it's just a steering wheel. If you'd like to see Hot Roderick in the next match, react with Thinking (🤔).
  • Nabbit - Just like in racing, it takes speed to be a good thief. Nabbit's one fast little rabbit, and he might even be able to steal his opponent's attacks to use against them! Plus he's a driver in Mario Kart Tour, so it all checks out. If you'd like to see Nabbit in the next match, react with Angry (😠).
 
Take off at the speed of sound
Bright lights, colors all around
I'm runnin' wild living fast and free
Got no regrets inside of me

I nominate Sonic for the Smackdown! The Blue Blur will run rings 'round his opponents, being the fastest thing alive!
 
So, the next issue is Mario Kart themed. But next issue is also in December, which is the start of winter in the north. Thus, I present someone who has appeared in a Mario Kart game (but not the first time) and is snow based. And his name is Chief Chilly.

Also, since I am a Yoshi, I will also support a Mario Kart Tour's Yoshi (Reindeer).

And there are my nominees for this.
