Sorry it took so long. My excuses are the following: school, computer issues, and laziness. Don't expect the next episode to take this long. There's a bit more action in this one, which is nice. Also, the series is gonna start to get interesting in the next few episodes.

If you're new to the series, here's a synopsis:

An unknown force of evil has set his sights on the Mushroom Kingdom. This force, known as Lord Shade, started off by sending a metallic clone of Mario to cause havoc. There were many casualties, and a hero named Link eventually met his end. In the final battle, at the cost of his life, Mario was triumphant. In the afterlife, the gods of the Overthere have recognized his hidden strength, and are offering to train him and grant him a second chance. Meanwhile, Lord Shade is planning a second attack, one involving his three 'Elite' soldiers. The second and third strongest Elites have already had an encounter with Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. The three heroes narrowly escaped to safety without losing Peach to the enemy. Now that these new enemies have surfaced, Luigi and Wario must discover how to counter this threat. Elsewhere, Mario begins his trials in the Overthere...
