The usually busy streets of the Mushroom Kingdom today ground to a halt, as a record number of people were absent from their places of work. The sudden abandoning of jobs is due to a significant increase in the number of floating coins that have been found within the Kingdom since it was built in 1985. The Mushroom Kingdom’s floating coins are well known across the whole world and have been famously collected by Mario in his numerous adventures. However, there were never enough to make anyone rich and most were found in hazardous areas, until now. The amount of coins has boomed over night, and current figures show there to be almost eighty times more then normal, causing people to leave their jobs in favour of grabbing their salary (and more) out of the air in a tenth of the time. If the coins continue to appear at the current rate scientists are predicting that by early 2003, only 8% of the population will be employed, and the streets will be flooded in money. Then by 2005, the Mushroom Kingdom sky will be so swamped with floating coins that they will block out the sun, and all plant life will cease to exist. This news has been greeted with immense fear and anxiety from the Mushroom people, as they too need the sun’s light to survive.
Mushroom kingdom royal, Princess Peach, has issued this statement:
“As yet we do not know the reason for this sudden increase in the floating coins, but I can assure everyone that our kingdom’s top scientists are working on it now, and hope to find a solution before the sun is blocked out. However, I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to hear that a plan to fit the castle with rotor blades so it can fly to a new, safe area is now underway. This is of course, only if the worst should happen, in which case a new Mushroom Kingdom will be founded in pastures new, and a commemorative plaque will be placed for all your lives.”
However, we here at Planet Nintendo have come up with what we think is going on. Having failed several times in attempts to hold Princess Peach for ransom, this is a new plan from arch nemesis Bowser, to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. We believe his idea is to flood the streets with so much money, that everybody stops working and becomes rich. His reason being that with no-one working, there will be no army to oppose him, no masons building huge walls to keep him out and no factories manufacturing items to help Mario with. And also, as we know, many rich people become greedy and fat, meaning they can do little to defend themselves. Other evidence to support our theory is Bowser’s recent acquisition of the Royal Mint, and the Goomba teams currently travelling the kingdom, changing all the signs to ‘The Bowser Kingdom’.
Despite this life threatening danger, local confidence in Mario to defeat Bowser and save the day remains high, and some are even claiming that Mario’s next adventure, Super Mario Sunshine, is in fact a quest to find and bring back a method of keeping the sunlight shining in the Mushroom Kingdom. We, however, do not think this is the case. For news on this story as it breaks, stay with us at Planet Nintendo.

I suggest that you check your definition of spam (might be a reference to 'spammer' in which case there'll be a picture of you) and the how to win GAD section on the site.

I suggest that you check your definition of spam (might be a reference to 'spammer' in which case there'll be a picture of you) and the how to win GAD section on the site.

Fiction in this respect is entertaining - not spam.

Bloody hell! I didn't know this had won me a GAD! I wrote this while I was bored 'doing' my Geography course work! I posted it, got no replies and never looked at it again!
Now I can cross one of the 49 *must buy* games off my list :D

But surely if money continues to appear at this rate hyper-inflation will set in, causing each coin to become practically worthless?
Ha. And people thought you needed loads of good replys to win a GAD.
Well done Whitestripes.
