'''Mario VS Oiram 2: Oiram’s Revenge (Good Ending!) (September 11, 2007) [Runtime: 6:20. Total Runtime So Far: 12:50] '''

Prelude:

If you saw the previous part of this review series, you know that I mentioned there were two videos in this installment. However to say they’re different videos would be quite an understatement, as they’re pretty much the same video but with different endings. Literally I think it’s possible to fit both within a ten minute timeframe, but for whatever reason MM just decided to use the majority of the video and posted it twice with two different endings. I assume it’s so that the video can flow better without awkwardly cutting to another outcome, but it’s also inconsistent with how ‘Secret of the Waterfall’ did things.

So what changes are there to this ending? We’ll find out right now!

Also watch the video first of course (Though note that this version replaces the Benny Hill theme and Drake Bell song with 8-bit Scatman music because of YouTube copyright reasons. And no, I won’t be counting the Scatman music on my counter, I’m only taking the original video’s audio into account.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRkSrBIsvsA&list=PLNPi6H0sXYaCHQG4Br4q5yZJp8uxhid2B&index=10

The Main Video:

So up until Mario beats Oiram things are the same. Read the previous part of this if you want to know how things turned out. Although I will mention something I forgot in the last review, and it’s that Oiram for two times now has had unfitting battle music. The first was Scatman, and now it’s the Benny Hill theme? Again this lays credence to my theory that Oiram isn’t much of a threat to this kingdom at all.

Once Mario beats Oiram, a title card flashes saying that Mario wins, signifying we’re having some changes to the end. It’s a neat little detail and I guess that little bit of encouragement wouldn’t have worked in the bad ending video. So Mario falls down to the ground and despite not moon jumping at all he somehow lands on the ground without a scratch. I assume MM was merciful and decided to negate fall damage...somehow, maybe it’s another cheat code I never knew about.

Since he didn’t break every bone in his body this time, Mario automatically declares this to be the better ending. And since he’s completely aware the bad ending exists I have to assume this is the timeline where Mario got his 122nd star stolen for petty reasons. I don’t blame him for wanting something better but he’s still not given me a reason to care much. He calls for Drake Bell to start his song again, to which Drake Bell from offscreen agrees...wait...what? Drake, why did you come back? I thought you got tired and ejected yourself mid-song in your debut video, don’t you have standards? How many gold coins are they paying you to do this live, because I have to imagine it’s a ton.

So running with the music and giving Drake Bell a clear fortune in cash, Mario ends up going to the Vanish Cap Course and enjoys his time there. He doesn’t end up going in Oiram’s pipe since it’s vanished from the face of the Earth.

The video ends, with MM teasing us on Oiram’s return already. Hah, I knew it! I knew he fell into a river somewhere! Also MM questions if he’ll team up with Bowser in the future, which is already I think teasing the third video already. Props for foreshadowing a bit and carrying through with it at least, and also there is quite a bit of intrigue with this. Would Oiram really be desperate enough to team up with Mario’s mortal enemy? Could Oiram finally be a serious villain in the end? We’ll just have to see!

Well that was the good ending. Besides a teaser of Oiram I much prefer the bad ending, if only because Mario’s been absolutely despicable this entire series. But since that teaser exists I guess the good ending’s the true ending.

The Extra Bonus Stuff:

Mario - 7 lines [35, 60%] (Are you happy now, Mario?)

Sound Producers - 0 lines [1, 2%] (Mario’s happy with them now I guess.)

Oiram - 0 lines [17, 29%] (Doesn’t get more lines because we added new stuff after his role was done.)

MarioMario54321 - 0 lines [4, 7%] (Didn’t speak in this one at all surprisingly, although I still think he manipulated this for the views.)

Drake Bell - 1 line [1, 2%] (The guy must be absolutely swimming in cash at this point, like wow.)

Total Lines: 58 lines

Part Biggest Chad: Drake Bell - For being paid twice to sing live in this series, I imagine that Drake Bell is a wealthy, wealthy man.

Part Biggest Loser: MarioMario54321 - And on the other end is this guy probably losing a good hard amount of his cash. Literally I think he’s losing his entire next video’s budget to Drake Bell alone.

Overall Biggest Chad: Drake Bell - I would say MarioMario54321 solely based on what happened in the Bad Ending, but the cost of Drake Bell’s music probably negates any positives of MM’s plan in the long run. And since he already got paid the last time I don’t think he’s strapping for cash from MM anyways so really this is just a bonus for him.

Overall Biggest Loser: Oiram - The guy has the audacity to try and instigate a 99-stock match against Mario and still loses, utterly wasting everyone else’s time. I know that Mario and MM had worse fates in two different endings, but that doesn’t change that Oiram utterly lost in both, so he’s the biggest failure overall.

Favorite Line: "Woohoo!" - Oiram. (Just look at that line, it just looks so wholesome for a guy like Oiram. I'm so heart warmed that he's excited over killing Mario.)

With Oiram dealt with a second time, it’s time for the next episode to not be about anything we’ve had thus far. No, we’re going to be delving into another game next part!
