Mario LandLocated on the virtual planet called Nintendo World, Mario Land is sectioned off into areas resembling the different games within the wide variety of Mario and Bros. games. Each section's look and feel resembles the technology of its original game. Defeating areas gains players the rewards seen in their original games that act similarly in the Oasis world.
To get to the different areas, players can either travel by foot or defeat an area. Once an area is defeated without the use of in-game shortcuts, they are granted access to a room with doors labeled after the different games and can choose which to walk through.
An invisible barrier sections off the areas and keeps NPCs within their sections unless a player attempts to activate a "Game Genie" cheat or risks accessing one of the in-game shortcuts, such as the much coveted Warp Whistle that will take a player to any Oasis world they wish without costing a single Oasis credit, provided the player can make it out of the world safely after having triggered the falling of barriers and onslaught of villains from every area descending on their location.
Areas within Mario Land include all games from all consoles of the Mario collection including such titles as Donkey Kong, all the Super Mario Bros., Dr. Mario, Yoshi, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Mario Party, and many, many more.

*** Emmett, Journey and Ray enter Mario Land***
Before they knew it, they were brought to a halt as they tumbled into their destination. Emmett found himself on the ground of what appeared to be a plane of grass. "Everyone alright?" Emmett asked aloud to the group before bringing himself to his feet. Peering upward, he grinned widely at the green pipe that had just spit them into the first leg of their journey. "That's so freaking cool!" Emmett exclaimed, as he scanned the green landscape in front of them crawling with koopas, goombas and blocks. They had officially arrived in what looked to be a land themed after the beloved Mario games.

Finally they arrived Mario Land. It was stunning and awesome. Even if it felt like they were fallen from the sky when that green pipe had spitted them out. The world they’ve entered was so different from the real world. It was nearlly the complete opposite of it. Everything was so colorful. The green grass, the blue sky. And even the air was different from their own world. Breathing this air had to be what once was called to breathe good air. "Everyone alright?" "Yes, Doc," he answered while he also stood up and went over to Journey – or to be correct her Avatar. He (that meant his female Avatar) reached his hand out to her to help her getting onto her feet again. "Hey, am I the only one who wonders if Mario and his gang had been thrown into their Gameworld like this in the past everytime someone had started a game?" That was, of course, a joke but Ray couldn’t resist to say it out loud. Now that they finally were here he turned euphoric. It was the first time he started an adventure like this alongside players he also knew in his real life. "Okay, back to, well, our upcoming adventure. Let’s look what we’ve got. Shall we walk or try to find another means of transportation? Oh, and Emmett, you got a map or something like that?"

"Everyone alright?"
"Yes, Doc," "Hey, am I the only one who wonders if Mario and his gang had been thrown into their Gameworld like this in the past everytime someone had started a game?"
Journey, or her avatar of Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, took the offered hand and got to her feet, chuckling. "No," she began, the voice emerging from her avatar that of Sally, or rather the old timey actress Catherine O'Hara who'd voiced her. "Mario and Luigi stuck their landings like pros."
"Okay, back to, well, our upcoming adventure. Let’s look what we’ve got. Shall we walk or try to find another means of transportation? Oh, and Emmett, you got a map or something like that?"
Journey finished checking her avatar over for any stitching that might need fixing and finally looked up to answer but the image of the three of their avatars standing together in the bright and colorful Mario Land had her suddenly laughing. A Claymation ragdoll from a movie, an MMORPG World of Warcraft character, and an iconic character from a fantasy console game. "We are the most hilariously awesome trio!" she said on another laugh. "Okay, okay," she said, trying to get onto the same straight-to-business minds as her two companions had gone into. Another short little giggle escaped her before Journey managed a straight face.
"Right. How maps are accessed in the Mario games varied. Some didn't even have maps. So we need to figure out which Mario game we landed in." Journey looked around where they stood. It seemed a general area, perhaps simply a drop-off point. She looked to the distance and saw trees, their pixelated look giving the impression of an earlier game, which triggered a memory. "I remember reading this land drops you off at the beginning. If you can't pass the first Mario game, you aren't worthy of the room of doors leading to the later games. See those jungly trees up ahead?" she asked, pausing a moment and pointing. "I don't remember seeing them in any of the games. But if we're at the beginning, that means Donkey Kong. And in that game, we never saw outside the building. I'm guessing if we venture into those trees, we'll come across a warehouse randomly located in the middle of the jungle."
Journey looked between the other two for their thoughts and assessments.

"...But if we're at the beginning, that means Donkey Kong. And in that game, we never saw outside the building. I'm guessing if we venture into those trees, we'll come across a warehouse randomly located in the middle of the jungle."
"You're right, Journey, we'll have to conquer this land level by level. I have our special weapons in my item stash, but those should be reserved until we really need them...," Emmett's avatar nodded in Journey's direction. They would have to get through all the levels of Mario Land before they could even reach their hands out to grasp the prize that they all immersed themselves into the Oasis for. Putting a hand up to his blonde head that was covered in a nostalgic looking green cap, Emmett's sight narrowed as he surveyed the path ahead. No enemies in sight yet, but that wouldn't mean that they would encounter one soon enough. "...In the mean time, we should equip ourselves Mario style." Emmett walked curiously over to a yellow block with a large question mark decorated on the front. He stared up at it for a moment, before leaping into the air fist first, "Hya!" The yellow block bobbed upwards as it came in contact with Emmett's fist, producing an item out of the top. A crimson flower fell to Emmett's feet, "All right! This power up will give me the ability to shoot fireballs from my hands." Emmett picked it up and placed it inside his storage bag that strapped across his body, "You guys give it a try and see what you can get!" Emmett encouraged Ray and Journey as he extended his hand to the two other yellow blocks that were waiting for someone to give them a hit.

"...But if we're at the beginning, that means Donkey Kong. And in that game, we never saw outside the building. I'm guessing if we venture into those trees, we'll come across a warehouse randomly located in the middle of the jungle."
"You're right, Journey, we'll have to conquer this land level by level. I have our special weapons in my item stash, but those should be reserved until we really need them...,"
Ray just nodded. Their words sounded logical. Nothing more to add.
"...In the mean time, we should equip ourselves Mario style." He watched Emmett walking to one of the typical yellow blocks and using it like Mario always did. "Hya!" "All right! This power up will give me the ability to shoot fireballs from my hands." "You guys give it a try and see what you can get!" It was so typical for Emmett. And it looked even more cute when he acted like this while he used the Avatar of Link. "Hey, Bro, I don’t need to be told twice," he said with the voice of the Bansheequeen Sylvanas. It sounded a bit scary. The same applied to the grin on his Avatar’s face.
And so Ray went over to Emmett and the two remaining yellow blocks. He clenched his fist and hit one of the blocks. A fungus appeared out of it – of course, with all those beloved retro special sounds. He grabbed it and put it into his own bag. "Yeah, that’s cool! This one will make me bigger. And bigger means also stronger. I’m sure this will become useful." Then he looked at Journey. "Okay, now it’s your turn. Let’s see what you will get." Ray also extended his hand to the last block like Emmett did before. "The stage is your’s, Journey. Or let’s say 'I sense there’s something in the wind'… " He made a short pause before he added: "And it’s the whispered song of three heroes that will become the most epic trio the OASIS had ever seen!" There was a big grin on his Avatar’s face. He really loved the imagination of trio infernale rocking the virtual world.

Journey watched as first Emmett's then Ray's avatars took advantage of the pre-game offerings of Mario items, grinning in giddy amusement when their avatars made that funny, higher pitched 'boing' sound just as Mario and Luigi did in their game when jumping. She wondered if they'd noticed. It wasn't loud. More subtle and something about the fact that the noise accompanied the motion got the wheels in Journey's head turning.
"The stage is your’s, Journey. Or let’s say 'I sense there’s something in the wind'… " "And it’s the whispered song of three heroes that will become the most epic trio the OASIS had ever seen!"
The way he'd worded it, Journey's mind amusingly picked it up as alternative lyrics. She, or rather fittingly, the image of her avatar, sang the first line of 'Sally's Song' out loud in the same slow tempo, then changed out the second line with Ray's proclamation, singing the words fast to fit them into the same length of time as the first line, drawing out the word 'seen' while spreading her arms out in a flourish. "Well, it's a bit wordy and doesn't exactly rhyme, but still, preferable to 'feeling like tragedy's at hand' in this instance," she teased, paraphrasing the actual next line of 'Sally's Song'.
Amused at her own antics, Journey grinned. Those wheels still turning in her mind over noticing the sound, she decided to mess around with it, test it out and see what it might mean. Rather than walking over to the last Prize Block left, she skipped, each skip giving off an ever so slightly clipped 'boing'. It reminded her of when someone lightly hit the 'A' key on the old Nintendo NES controller and got Mario to do little jumps. "I love that sound," she said from beneath the block before raising a fist and doing a full jump that gave off a full 'boing'.
Journey's avatar stepped a bit to the right of the block, as most items tended to fall that way, and looked up. An object slowly floated down, swaying back and forth in its drift downward. "Oh yes! A leaf!" Her avatar took hold of it and dropped it into her bag, her visor noting the added item in her inventory. "Oh, I so hope this accessorizes me with the adorable raccoon ears and tail when in use."
Putting other parts of her theory to the test, Journey rushed back toward the other two and sure enough, on the bottom of her visor, a little bar appeared with six arrows pointing to the right toward a 'P' in an oval. It was the Power Meter just like in the Super Mario games! With the short distance and stop, only two of the arrows lit up. "You guys!" Giddy with her realization, Journey gave a couple of excited hops, resulting in two short 'boing' sounds. "I think we're equipped with Mario's basic abilities while on this world. I definitely got more height in my jump than normal," she said, hitching a thumb over her shoulder at the block she'd hit. "See those Prize Blocks further up ahead?" she asked, pointing at the items much higher up above a row of connected bricks. "You have to be able to get up on that row of blocks in order to get to them. Technically, we could give each other a boost up, but Luigi never gave Mario a boost up," she joked. "Emmett, head for that row at a run and see what happens." There was a clever glint in her eye that said she already knew what would happen and if they'd played Super Mario enough to recall the basics, she was sure they were starting to put together the pieces as well.

"Emmett, head for that row at a run and see what happens."
His elvish looking avatar rubbed his hands together in excitement as Emmett's bubbly personality shined through like a ray of light. Picking up what Journey was throwing down, Emmett had played Mario enough growing up to know exactly what path Journey was on to. "I could catch enough air to get up there, most likely, but -" Suddenly Emmett's face morphed into a grin of delight, "I think I know how to add a bit more jazz to our fun." Emmett finally retrieved his item sack from his hip and opened it. "I found this the last time I was looking around in these parts," Pinched between two fingers, a brown and white feather protruded from the sack. Beaming, Emmett held it out in front of him as he threw it up into the air. When Emmett jumped up in the air to meet the newly acquired item, the air around him sparked as a familiar equipping sound was heard. As both of his feet touched back down to the ground, Emmett looked over his shoulder to admire the yellow cape that cascaded down his back and fastened around his neck. "Isn't this awesome?!" Emmett's avatar did a spinning twirl in the air before finding himself back on the ground with his friends, "Once I get up on that platform, I can pass the item down to you guys so you can equip it and get that extra boost up!"
Emmett took a few steps behind Journey and Ray towards the beginning of the map, "Here we go!" Emmett bounced on the spot momentarily to amp himself up before zooming right past Journey and Ray. The arrows below them lit up one after another and when the power meter was lit up to the 'P' a fluttering chime noise echoed around them. Emmett knew that was his cue. Punching the air, his fist led his body upward as he jumped and the cape carried him up in the sky. The cape slowed his landing as his feet met the platform in the sky.
"Woooo!" Emmett shouted in victory as his gaze tilted down below to Journey and Ray. "Who's next?!" As Emmett took the cape off, it turned back into the brown and white feather and he allowed it to gracefully float down to the next contender.

It was so cute, lovely and definitely adoreable to see and hear Journey – or better said her Avatar aka Sally –singing Sally’s song and even trying to use Ray’s words for an improvised line. "Well, it's a bit wordy and doesn't exactly rhyme, but still, preferable to 'feeling like tragedy's at hand' in this instance," "Hah, to be honest I didn’t expect you trying to sing along like this. But next time I’ll be wiser and try my best to avoid too wordy phrases. Promise!" It sounded a bit weird to hear his words out of his Avatar’s mouth because of it’s ghostly voice. But Ray always liked this character even if she turned out as evil during the years. She got a bitter fate. Oh, and she was such a good bitch in being evil! Suddenly he asked himself if Journey was confused because he used a female Avatar. But if she was she didn’t show it. Actually she was fooling around again. And, of course, yet she still was absolutely adoreable. "I love that sound," "You and me both!," he answered chuckling.
"See those Prize Blocks further up ahead?" "You have to be able to get up on that row of blocks in order to get to them. Technically, we could give each other a boost up, but Luigi never gave Mario a boost up," "Emmett, head for that row at a run and see what happens." Emmett also was his true self even though his appearance had changed. But he now was the cutest Link Ray had ever seen. "I could catch enough air to get up there, most likely, but -" "I think I know how to add a bit more jazz to our fun." "I found this the last time I was looking around in these parts," His friend grabbed a brown and white feather from his bag and used it to get the yellow cape. "Isn't this awesome?!" "Yay, dude! " Ray gave him a wolf whistle. Then they watched him using the cape to get onto the high platform. When he arrived it and shouted out his victory Ray had to laugh. "Look at him, he’s so… well, just himself!," he said to Journey.
And now it was their turn. Ray, in the shape of Sylvanas Windrunner, grabbed the floating feather as soon as it was in his range. "Yeah, got it," he also shouted out in victory when he used it to get the cape. And then there was a big grin on his Avatar’s face. "I know that this is Mario Land but it’s also still the OASIS. I mean, in some cases we can make our own rules or just try to…" Suddenly he grabbed Journey and hold her onto his arms. "Let’s try to fly together!" And so he did. He even didn’t really wait for an answer. He just wishes he would have had better hardware-equipment like a genuine-feeling outfit so he could really feel how it would be to hold her close. But (sadly) this had to be enough for the moment.
When they finally arrived the platform, too, he set Journeys feet down to the ground at took the cape off to give it back to Emmett. "Thanx, Bro. So, here we go!"

"Isn't this awesome?!"
Journey giddily giggled as Emmett's avatar donned the cape and did a spinning twirl. "So awesome!" she agreed in unison with Ray's 'Yay, dude!'.
"Once I get up on that platform, I can pass the item down to you guys so you can equip it and get that extra boost up!"
Journey nodded excitedly, very much looking forward to putting on a cape. She watched his avatar run and yet another big grin spread across her face when the fluttering sound of the power meter successfully activated sounded. Emmett off like a shot, Journey had a short private moment with Ray as they headed at a more leisurely pace toward the row of blocks.
"Look at him, he’s so… well, just himself!,"
Emmett's joy was so potent that she couldn't help but vicariously feel it, too. Journey turned her beaming smile toward Ray's avatar. "Isn't he just the best? I mean, how can you not adore the guy?" she questioned rhetorically with a gesture toward the Link avatar now standing on the row of blocks.
"Who's next?!"
Journey gestured for Ray to go ahead. "Ladies first," she said, finding it doubly amusing. There was the obvious fact that the person behind the avatar was male but also, 'lady' wasn't exactly the word that came to mind when looking at the fierce warrior.
"I know that this is Mario Land but it’s also still the OASIS. I mean, in some cases we can make our own rules or just try to…"
She might not have known him long but thus far, Ray had seemed pretty cool and collected. And so Journey's head tilted as she watched him with a mixture of curiosity and slight befuddlement when he seemed to stumble around something he was trying to say. But all that was forgotten when she suddenly found herself snatched up and flying through the air.
"Let’s try to fly together!"
The multi-directional treadmill below her feet might not have been very high tech but it did give a little dip in an effort to give the sensation of having the ground taken from beneath her feet. Enough for a little squeal of surprise to escape that melted into giggles of joy.
While Ray and Emmett dealt with the cape, Journey wandered to the single block above the row they stood on and jumped for it. As soon as her fist came in contact, a flashing yellow star popped out. "A Super Star! Oh shit," she muttered, the excitement quickly flowing into panic. The Super Star, like in the games, took one spastic jump on the block then started to hurry off. There was no time to strategize. "I got this!" she announced as she'd already taken off at a full run. The row of bricks was far too short for the power bar to trigger, but Journey didn't worry. At the end of the row, she leapt as high as she could and caught the star with one hand, turning as she fell and landing on her back on the ground below.
The distance hadn't been too great. There wasn't any pain. Even if she'd been wearing a haptic suit, there wouldn't have been more than a twinge that signified the pressure of an impact. One of the benefits of being Sally was that she could sustain falls much, much higher than this without fatality. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled, victoriously holding the flashing yellow star up while she still lay on the ground. "Got it!" Her visor flashed her stats and she could see that her other arm, which had taken the brunt of the fall, had become detached. Another no biggie that did not phase her excitement.

"Got it!"
Emmett's heart completely stopped as his friend made the split second decision to go for the Star. Everything had happened so fast, and before he could react or help in any way they found Journey back to where she started - on the ground. Falling to his knees at the edge of the platform, Emmett got onto his hands and peered down at Journey who had successfully retrieved the run away Star.
"Journey! Golly, are you okay?!" Emmett placed a hand up to the side of his cheek as his voice echoed down to his friend. He turned his head around in shock to Ray who was right beside him, then back down to the ground at Journey. Scanning the land, Emmett began to grind his gear as he thought hard about how to get to Journey. They could use the cape again, but Emmett was afraid they would need it later and couldn't risk losing it or wearing it out. Down the path from Journey, he saw a single block by itself, and he only hoped there was a Piranha plant vine in that block long enough to reach them so that they could climb down to reunite with their friend. "Journey, you see that single block down the path?! Hit it, gosh I hope this works!" Emmett climbed back to his feet as he rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

Suddenly things started to happen very fast. "A Super Star! Oh shit," "I got this!" "Journey!" It took a second until Ray noticed that it was his Avatar’s voice which called out to her. But watching her improvident action made him worry about her.
Luckily it went well. And Ray wasn’t the only one who was worried about her safety. "Journey! Golly, are you okay?!" The two young men stood side by side and tried to find a way how Journey would be able to reunite with them. Ray noticed that his friend was looking through his equipment and held the cape in his hand for a moment. But before he could say something – like 'Maybe we’ll need this later again. We’ve to find another way' – Emmett seemed to come to the same conclusion and put it back.
And he also find a possible solution. "Journey, you see that single block down the path?! Hit it, gosh I hope this works!" "Nice idea, Bro. But what when it’s not that geeky plant?" Ray also turned his head around looking for an alternative. "Okay, maybe I got another idea – just in case that this is no Piranha. It’s very simple…" He stopped for some seconds before he said: "We just had to jump down, too, and look for another way all together." Okay, not a good idea. But it showed Ray’s normal attitude: There always had to be another way! You just have to look after it.
"Hey, Journey, he shouted down to their friend. Don’t worry. If it doesn’t work we’re coming down to you in a pinch."

"Journey! Golly, are you okay?!"
"I'm shiny!" she said excitedly, grabbing her detached arm as she picked herself up from the ground.
"Journey, you see that single block down the path?! Hit it, gosh I hope this works!"
She turned and found the block he referred to nearby, then looked up at him again. "Sir, yes, sir!" she said, holding her detached arm up and making its hand form a salute.
"Hey, Journey, Don’t worry. If it doesn’t work we’re coming down to you in a pinch."
Journey chuckled, turning as she walked to address them. "Seriously, you guys. No need to be such worry warts. I'm perfectly fine! One of the benefits to being a living ragdoll." She beamed, proudly gesturing to her avatar, then turned back around to face forward for the last few steps. She held up her detached arm, its hand forming a fist, and pushed it upward, effortlessly knocking the block.
Sure enough, a piranha plant vine emerged. This was, after all, the intro level. Things would be easy here. Free items and mostly easy ups and downs from blocks. This double-decker row had been and probably was the most difficult part they'd come up against. If they'd managed to find a way up to it, they'd offer and easy way down.
Journey waited patiently for the two to make their way down, retrieving the needle and spool of thread always magically tucked behind her ear. As soon as they were in front of her again, she held out her detached arm and the needle and thread held in the hand of her detached arm. "Can either of you sew and manly enough to admit it?" she teased. "I'd do it myself but..." she looked down to where her other arm should be, signifying the near impossibility of sewing one-armed.

"Can either of you sew and manly enough to admit it?" "I'd do it myself but..."
A ball full of energy and anxious to get to his friend waiting down on the ground in slight peril, Emmett's elvish avatar sporting a green pointed cap grasped onto the vine that emerged from down below. Wrapping his arms and legs around it tightly, Emmett's entire body slid furiously down the green vine as it shed it's eight bit leaves.
"Me, oh me!" Emmett hopped off of the vine and leaped to Journey's side as he grew attentive to the arm that had suddenly came unstitched. Sliding the sack he held over his shoulder onto the ground, he opened it. Allowing one hand to disappear into the sack, he rummaged around for a moment before pulling out a needle and thread. Random to have lying in a sack, however, Emmett never came into a world unprepared. Especially in the Oasis, as you never know what kind of situation you might find yourself in.
"If cosplay and theatre class taught me anything, is to never go unprepared," A lost arm in one hand and a threaded needle in the other, Emmett peered up at Journey and chuckled lightly before he put the pointy tip to Journey's avatar's fabric flesh and began to sew her arm back together. He worked fairly quickly but took extra care every now and again to make sure he wasn't causing her any pain. Before they knew it, Journey's arm was sewn back into place as if she never lost it in the first place.
"There! You good, buddy?" Emmett grinned down at his friend as he extended a helping hand.

"Seriously, you guys. No need to be such worry warts. I'm perfectly fine! One of the benefits to being a living ragdoll." Ray couldn’t help laughing out loud. "Hah, that’s great! I wish this would also work in our real lifes. Or at least to save us from a Game Over in the Oasis… I mean – you’re a ragdoll and I’m an undead bith!"
At least his friend were excellent good equipped and skilled.
"Can either of you sew and manly enough to admit it?"
"Me, oh me!" "If cosplay and theatre class taught me anything, is to never go unprepared," Right – Emmett and his passion for cosplay and theatre! If somebody knows how to fix this, it’s Emmett 'Doc' Rodgers.
So there had been no need to admit that his fingers are all thumbs when it came up to sewing. These hands were made for gaming!
After Journeys arm had been fixed they had to climb up the piranha plant to get back to the top. "Okay, I go first," he began to speak. "Time to enter the more difficult level..." And so he, the Banshee Queen, started to climb up the plant and reached their latest point. He watched for the others to follow him.
"There’re still many challenges left on our way but I’m sure we’ll master them. We’re invincible! Well, I mean, Journey caught the super star. It probably might become very useful anytime soon." He went back over what they’ve said before and what he still remembered about the old Nintendo games. "Hey, if the first level is meant to be Donkey Kong we might look after bananas to find our way through the jungle ahead. Oh, and what about bongo drums?! Do you remember?! I hope there would be a very big one – imagine we might use such a big bongo to jump on it like a trampoline…" Suddenly he stopped speaking because he noticed that he started to sound as rhapsodical like Emmett often did. But that was Doc’s part and not his one. His part was the cool guy. He coughed slightly and tried his best to get back to a bit more serious tone. "Well, of course, we first should reach the trees and catch any yellow questionmark-blocks on our way."

"Me, oh me!"
Absolutely no problem admitting it and enthusiastic about it, to boot. Emmett was even more adorable when that personality was shining through his avatar. Journey, and in turn, her avatar, were grinning the entire time he stitched her up.
"If cosplay and theatre class taught me anything, is to never go unprepared," "There! You good, buddy?"
Journey had been watching the earnestness and concentration on his face, knowing he was taking extra care. So concerned and such a big heart that he seemed to forget one of the benefits of her avatar was that she didn't feel much. Physically, at least.
She took his offered hand and let him assist her to her feet. Turning her arm this way and that, she gave him a big Sally smile. "Even better than before!" Unable to help herself, she leaned in and kissed his cheek with an accompanied "Muah!" sound effect. "You're the bestest, Bestie!" she gushed.
"Okay, I go first," "Time to enter the more difficult level..."
Ray interjected with his level-headedness, putting an end to the little mushfest and putting her back on the serious gaming track.
"Lead the way!" She gestured ahead toward the jungle-y area so different from the freeplay zone they'd entered. "Over the hills and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go!" Okay, semi-serious, at least. Journey wasn't sure she was capable of complete seriousness.
"There’re still many challenges left on our way but I’m sure we’ll master them. We’re invincible! Well, I mean, Journey caught the super star. It probably might become very useful anytime soon."
"Oh no," she said, shaking her head. "The Super Star literally does make us invincible," she reminded, "but only for about ten seconds. It'll reflect anything the baddies throw at us and we can defeat all the baddies we want just by touching them. We should save it to use as a very last resort. Like if we find ourselves totally surrounded and totally trapped. Remember, we're starting from the Mario game beginnings and working our way up. The first couple of games are were a cakewalk compared to the later stuff."
"Hey, if the first level is meant to be Donkey Kong we might look after bananas to find our way through the jungle ahead. Oh, and what about bongo drums?! Do you remember?! I hope there would be a very big one – imagine we might use such a big bongo to jump on it like a trampoline…"
Journey giggled at the image of them bouncing around on drums in a jungle. "Oh, that would be fun!"
"Well, of course, we first should reach the trees and catch any yellow questionmark-blocks on our way."
Journey cleared her throat and schooled her features. "Oh, of course," she said, trying to sound more serious like Ray. She leaned closer to Emmett and whispered, "We are totally bouncing around on oversized bongo drums if there are any." She held her hand low for a low-five that symbolized they were in agreement over said shenanigans.
The yellow blocks were fewer and farer between the closer they got to the barrier that represented the separation from the free-play, free items introduction land to where the real gameplay started.
She'd been quietly jogging her memory about Donkey Kong as they'd kept on their way, making sure to hit up every block available to them. She stopped them all at the barrier so that they could discuss what was coming up and work out the best game plan.
"Gosh, it's been forever since I played Donkey Kong." With millions of games in existence, it was hard to keep up or know which ones you could have used a refresher on until you came up against it in the Oasis. "It all took place in a building. Like a sorta warehouse looking one with lots of slanted levels that the barrels could roll down," she held out her arms in a slant, "a random ladder or two on each that you have to climb up. We never saw an outside, so I'm not sure if we'll find anything useful or anything happening at all outside. All the action might be in that building we saw in the distance, somewhere up ahead." They couldn't see it anymore. Now that they were closer, the height of the trees blocked it from view.
"They didn't give you much to work with. It was mostly about timing. But just in case..." she quietly mused, a finger to her lips. "Hammers," she said, pulling the finger from her lips and giving it a single shake. "I think there were hammers in the building that you could find and use to smash the barrels. If there's anything useful in the jungle, it might be those. Was there anything else?" She looked between her two companions, hoping one or both of them had played Donkey Kong more recently than she had.

"Great thinking, Journey! Hammers. I think we covered most of what to expect," Emmett mentally relayed to himself the facts that Journey reminded them about the game to refresh their memory, "Oh yeah, and one more thing!" Emmett remembered a key detail to the game, "Those rolling barrels you spoke of, Journey? They'll most likely be chucked at us by an angry Gorilla. He'll be guarding something, perhaps the very thing that will let us advance to the next stage in this Land," Emmett gulped, feeling rather uneasy of being submerged into confrontation straight away, "There's three of us against one DK, and not to mention it's first level. How hard could it be?" Emmett's gaze panned between Journey and Ray as he stood in between them as they stared into the outskirts of the jungle abyss that they were about to enter.

"Oh yeah, and one more thing!" "Those rolling barrels you spoke of, Journey? They'll most likely be chucked at us by an angry Gorilla. He'll be guarding something, perhaps the very thing that will let us advance to the next stage in this Land," "There's three of us against one DK, and not to mention it's first level. How hard could it be?"
Ray listened to his companions and had to restrain a smirk when he saw Emmett gulping. But as expected from a good friend he did his best to calm him down and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Don’t worry, Doc. You’ve never seen me when I got really angry! Believe me – big ol' DK will run away from me when I’ve finished with him," he said and made an exaggerated minacious face that admittedly turned out a lot threatful because of his Avatar’s face. "Okay, joking aside. Let’s find a way to the building. I think we had to climb up to find the right and hopefully the best way to get there. And if we find hammers there we’ll take them to smash the barrels and stuff the angry Gorilla into one of them." Ray had to admit inwardly that he might became the leader of their group or at least the motivator. But he was okay with it because he often tried to motivate the people around him in RL so that he was used to it.
And so they started to climb up the trees to get a view from the top of the jungle. Their teamwork got better by the minute so that they finally reached the peak altogether. It was a stunning view. But it also showed them that the warehouse still was a fair way off. "Hah, wow. I’m very sure that former generations had never thought that their 2D-Games would become a huge jungle one day." He looked at his teammates and gave them a broad grin. "Now it’s getting real serious, folks. You ready? By the way – do we want to climb by foot or are we going to use one of our collected goodies?"

It hadn't really been necessary to climb the trees as all they'd needed to do was continue walking straight. This jungle area wasn't part of Donkey Kong, so she easily figured it wouldn't be a challenge to get through it and to the main event location of the building. But Journey couldn't resist getting a bird's eye view of the 8-bit land so she just shrugged and climbed. Reaching the top, she was definitely glad she had. 8-bit tree tops, all the exact height and shape, clearly a coding copy and paste of the early days, lightly swaying in perfect unison in the breeze. "Hah, wow. I’m very sure that former generations had never thought that their 2D-Games would become a huge jungle one day."Journey chuckled. "Nope," she agreed. "Games just really took off after the first was created. Back in the day, with each evolvement of technology, people lost interest in what had come before. It wasn't until generations later that people put aside their snobbish views of only wanting the newest and best and found a new appreciation for the classics." "Now it’s getting real serious, folks. You ready? By the way – do we want to climb by foot or are we going to use one of our collected goodies?"Journey's attention snapped to Ray and the mention of using one of the items they'd collected. "Oh heck no," she said adamantly. "We're in the easy, beginning evolutions of the Mario games. We've gotta save what we have until we absolutely need them." She gave a serious nod, then looked out at the building ahead of them. Excitement started to build and she found herself grinning broadly as she turned back to the guys again. "Let's do this!" With that, Journey started to climb back down. She waited until they were all three back on the jungle floor and starting their walk before bringing up another thought she'd had whilst climbing down. "I was thinking, the stuff we'd collected and whatever else we have in our inventory, I'm not sure it'll work where it didn't exist. Know what I mean?" She spoke quickly and excitedly, caught up in geek heaven of analyzing the nuances of a game. In case they didn't know what she meant, she gave an example. "In Donkey Kong," she said, gesturing in the direction of the building, "there weren't any mushrooms or feathers. Nothing but those hammers. Remember how in Super Mario 3, when you accidentally tried to use an item that Mario or Luigi was already equipped with, Mario or Luigi remained the same but that item was gone from your inventory? Or if you went into your inventory and accidentally selected one of those boulder breaking hammers to bust through boulders blocking your path to shortcuts and bonus when you didn't actually have Mario or Luigi standing next to the boulder and that hammer was then just gone?" She glanced at each again, wondering if she was confusing them with her fast geek talk of the one Mario game she probably had played the most. She tried to break down the conclusion more easily. "I'm afraid something like that might happen if we tried to use something that either didn't work or was already equipped. Just poof!" she said, hands shooting out with fingers splayed, "Gone. I mean, who knows. There's a chance it could work," she said, not sounding confident at the thought. "Or maybe, when we try to select it from our inventory, we'll get a little error message that we can't equip that item. Or maybe it'll disappear from our hand and just jump back into our inventory if we take it out. Or maybe it'll just..." she glanced at them, an amused grin on her face as she once again made the same motion, "Poof! Gone. Not really worth the risk, if you ask me." Journey kept on walking as she excitedly yammered on, having lost interest in the same 8-bit tree whose coding had been copied and pasted over and over again in neat, perfectly aligned rows. It felt just like an early scrolling screen game where it appeared the character was walking on a treadmill with the background a scrolling image looping over and over until the character neared their destination. And just as she finished that thought, she caught the glimmer of a variance up ahead. "Hey look!" she said excitedly, running ahead of the two. Journey plucked the single glowing banana from the tree. Suddenly, the endless rows of trees ahead of them faded away as if by retrieving the banana, she'd activated the end of the scroll screen. She looked back at the boys triumphantly, but then started to laugh, pointing and gesturing the length of them because she couldn't get the explanation out. Link, and more hilariously, the fierce banshee queen had been overlaid by red Mario overalls. No green as Luigi hadn't been around yet, so she guessed that meant they all got to be Mario. They were looking at her in turn and Journey looked down, ready to start another roll of laughter at red Mario overalls on her Sally avatar, but her laughter gave way to confusion. No red overalls. Her avatar was overlaid by another dress, this one a dark pink that was almost purple with white trim at the hem. Sudden realization at who the game had set her out to be on this level hit her. "Seriously? I have to be the damsel in distress?" she said, holding out one side of the skirt with the banana still in her other hand. There was the sound of a deep grunt right above her, the hot banana breath of Donkey Kong ruffling her yarn hair. There wasn't any fear on her face. Rather, Journey looked annoyed. "Ah crap," she said flatly just before being snatched right off her feet and whisked away over the shoulder of Donkey Kong at an amazing speed up, up, up. "No faaaaaaaair!" she protested, her voice fading away from the ground below.
The visual sensation was like that of a ride that shot you straight up finishing with a long leap from the trees to the top of the six story building like a rollercoaster that had turned upside down and gave you the view of the ground. She wished again that she had one of those fancy Oasis contraptions where she'd have had the full physical sensation because this would have been one hell of a ride. Donkey Kong dropped through a trap door at the top of the building and unceremoniously plopped her down on the very platform where Pauline, the pre-Princess Peach dated damsel in distress Mario was trying to save, uselessly--and might she add, uncaged--just stood there and waited. Seeing as she was uncaged, Journey took a step toward the ladder at the other end of the platform and Donkey Kong immediately gave a ferocious roar, the power of that banana breath nearly knocking her off her feet. "Okay! Fine! I'm staying," she huffed. Journey dropped to a sitting position and crossed her arms, continuing to huff while Donkey Kong patiently hunched in his spot, waiting for the door at the base of the building to open so he could start rolling barrels. The boys would be having all the fun this level.

"I was thinking, the stuff we'd collected and whatever else we have in our inventory, I'm not sure it'll work where it didn't exist. Know what I mean?"
Emmett walked alongside Journey and Ray as he attentively listened to Journey's realization. Looking up at her, his forehead furrowed in question She was right, items that didn't exist in the game's design until after early Donkey Kong era might not work. No chip off of their shoulders though as Emmett shrugged, "If Mario can make it through without power ups, I'm sure we'll be able to beat it no problem!" Emmett exuded confidently as he turned his head into the group, "As long as our strides are long enough to get past those barrels, I think we can do it!"
As they walked along the landscape engulfed in 8-bit greenery, Emmett noted Journey's excitement and gleefully ran after her to find out what she had seen that caused a stir from within. "Woah," Emmett's drawn out exaggeration of wonder filled the space between the three of friends as they all peered down at the glowing banana in Journey's hand, "Wait, why is there only one banana?" Emmett pondered, as he was envious to snag one for himself. Then the possible fact that this may be a trap dawned on him, yet he didn't have much time to think about it before Journey's avatar burst into laughter right in front of them. "What's so...," Placing his hands over his clothed chest, Emmett looked down in a rather alarmed fashion to find the unexpected change in wardrobe. Red overalls? "Just like Mario," Emmett uttered in awe as a child like grin spread across his face. When he peered up next, Ray was dressed in the same getup. And Journey was clothed in a new outfit as well, however hers was different. She suddenly sported a frilly princess dress that adorned her from her neck right down to her feet.
"Seriously? I have to be the damsel in distress?"
"Oh shoot, I never thought of it like that. Does that mean...," Suddenly, the earth beneath Emmett's feet vibrated the entire map a couple of times before a large body cast a shadow over the group. As they looked up, they came face to face with the first boss they would fight in this Land - Donkey Kong himself. Before they could react, the large gorilla snatched up Journey and carried her away.
"No, Journey!" Emmett began to run after Donkey Kong, stretching out his arm he pointed in the direction that the large monkey was headed, "He's headed for that building nearby!" He ran side by side with Ray as they zig-zagged around the blocks and pipes of the map, "I guess we know what comes next...,"
****** Emmett and Ray bust through the front doors of the industrial building where they saw Donkey Kong enter through the top with Journey in his large, hairy arms. The building was dark and moist, yet dimly lit enough for the boys to make out tilted platforms that led a path to the top of the building. "He's gonna be at the top with Journey. We have to hurry," Suddenly, Emmett's ears picked up a rumbling sound that grew louder as it sounded like it was approaching them, "Ray...do you hear that?" And within a few seconds, Emmett gasped as his whole body jolted at the barrel that fell off the tip of the platform before them and slowly rolled their way, "Alrighty, Ray, it's showtime. One, two, three, JUMP!"

Ray agreed with Journeys thoughts about that item-problem because he also remembered what she was talking about. "Got it, girl, you're right," he said and nodded. "If Mario can make it through without power ups, I'm sure we'll be able to beat it no problem!" "As long as our strides are long enough to get past those barrels, I think we can do it!" "Of course, we can do it. Right now I'm feeling like we could do everything!" So there it was again: Trio Infernale's enthusiasm! If they won't finish their quest they nevertheless would become known for their positive spirit.
Finally they seemed to come to the end of the current level. There was a single banana. Journey grabbed it and showed it to them in triumph. Something sounded Ray's alarm bells but yet he wasn't sure why. Emmett seemed to chare this strange feeling. "Wait, why is there only one banana?" The boys bandied looks. Suddenly Journey started to laugh at them and disrupted his thoughts. "What's so...," Ray looked at Emmett and had to laugh, too. His Avatar aka Link was now dressed in Mario's red overall. If they were now meant to play the old character's parts one of them had to be... 'Wait, no please,' he thought. He got an female Avatar - for a second he feared that he would get the princess' dress. He looked to the bottom and felt relieved when he became aware of the red overall on his avatar, too. But that would meant that Journey... Yes, she was dressed as a princess. "Seriously? I have to be the damsel in distress?" "Well,... sorry?," he responded while he couldn't fully hide his relief about not becoming the princess on his own. "But you're a beautiful graveyard-princess." "Oh shoot, I never thought of it like that. Does that mean...," And now they know what their strange feeling had tried to tell them... Big bad Donkey Kong entered the stage - and he grabbed Journey and started to carry her away. "Ah crap," "No faaaaaaaair!" "No, Journey!" "Journey! Noooooooooooooooooooo!," the eerie voice of the Banshee Queen yelled out loud. (If things would have been different this might have been a very funny sight.) "He's headed for that building nearby!" "I guess we know what comes next...," "Gorilla-goulash," Ray answered while they ran side by side after Donkey Kong. This now felt somehow like a very personal matter...
***
After all they arrived the building but, of course - it was his job -, Donkey didn't give up that easily. He started to throw barrels towards them. "Ray...do you hear that?" Ray just nodded. He knew what would come next. "Alrighty, Ray, it's showtime. One, two, three, JUMP!" "Alright, I didn't need to be told twice," he gave back and jumped. It wasn't easy to reach the top but both of them were Gamers, they knew how to act in those Jump'n Runs.
"Okay, Donkey, I'm going to flay you alive!," Ray growled at their enemy. when they finally arrived the top. But he also couldn't control himself and dart a glance at Journey, his 'damsel in distress'. "Good to see you, graveyard-princess. You're okay?" The sound of his voice now (the voice of his Avatar) and before were worlds apart. It was obvious that he had been in a state of agitation because of Journey's kidnaping. Not even his cool choice of words could cover this up.

Journey sat hunched forward on the platform, bored, with her chin propped on her fist. She had complete confidence in the guys making it through. The first level of this game was very easy so she didn't even have worry to distract her. She could distantly hear their voices echoing up, a little bit louder every few minutes which signified they'd climbed to another level. Glancing at Donkey Kong tossing barrels--even he was having a better time than she--Journey decided to amuse herself. "So, like, what's your motivation?" She wasn't expecting an answer, didn't even get any form of acknowledgment. She decided to test a theory, unfolding her legs and inching one toward the edge of the platform. As soon as her toe went past the edge of the platform, Kong's attention went to her as he beat his chest and gave a mighty roar that tousled her yarn hair. She immediately drew her foot back. "Okay, okay. Calm yourself, Bubbles." Just as she'd suspected, he completely ignored her unless she tried to do something that didn't comply with the game. He was from an early video game with a simple programming. It would be decades before the fancier games where there were NPC characters you could interact with. Still, she went on talking for her own amusement. "What's your beef with Mario anyway? Did he kidnap your girlfriend first? Steal your bananas? Wait, I got it," she said with a snap. "You're jelly of his adorable little red overalls, aren't you?" She looked at his large 8-bit gorilla frame grinning amusedly as if imagining him in a pair. "You know, my friend Emmett--one of the guys you're hurling those barrels at," she said with a point of her thumb over her shoulder in the direction the barrels were rolling, "makes his own cosplays. I'm sure he could digitally whip you up a pair of red overalls. What'da ya say, Caesar?" Seeing one and then the other guys' avatars rising up from the last rung of ladders in view from the top level, Journey got to her feet, beaming at the record time. Apparently she wasn't gonna have to be bored for as long as she'd thought she might. She was about to clap whilst hopping in place but caught site of the fierce, murderous expression on Ray's avatars face as it stared daggers at Donkey Kong. She tilted her head in curious bafflement. "Okay, Donkey, I'm going to flay you alive!,"Journey raised her eyebrows, her avatar doing the same. So touchy. He must have stumbled whilst trying to jump over one of the barrels. That would have risen her hackles a bit, she guessed, but not to that extent. But she didn't know Ray well. Maybe he was really serious about gaming and didn't like a falter in his game. But looking at their scores, Ray and Emmett were matched, which meant they seemed to run the course perfectly. She was the only one behind. Apparently, sitting around being a snarky princess didn't earn you points, so she was back to being perplexed as to why Ray was so worked up. Emmett had come to a stop next to the platform but Ray had continued a few steps closer to Donkey Kong almost as if he actually intended to do some flaying. Journey glanced down at Emmett with a questioning look reflected on her Sally face. "Good to see you, graveyard-princess. You're okay?"Journey grinned over the nickname. "Yah, of course!" she said, extra cheery in hopes it would help pull him from whatever had put him in a mood. "The only thing the princess is in fear of suffering from is boredom," she said with a dismissive wave, then waved Emmett to take one step closer. As soon as he did, she placed a hand on his shoulder and hopped down. Much faster than taking the short ladder. Donkey Kong had remained hunched forward on his knuckles in a sort of repetitive slow sway, looking not all there. Almost as if he was stuck in a sort of 'loading' phase, waiting for the next level to kick in. As soon as Journey's feet met the ground, she felt a shift all around her, including to her avatar once again, and looked down to see what had happened. No longer was her avatar layered with the Princess Pauline dress. Instead, she was now sporting the red overalls and standing beside Emmett's avatar, her eyes easily picked up that he was still in his. That meant... Journey's head shot up to look at Ray's Banshee Queen, now in a dark pink with white trimming princess dress. She bit her lip, trying not to laugh. "Um, Ray?" she managed to get out right before Donkey Kong snatched up Ray, tossed his avatar over his shoulder, and gave a fierce roar at the two new Marios. Donkey Kong was up the stairs and disappearing through a hole in the ceiling with Ray's avatar bouncing on his shoulder before they had a chance to register what had happened, just as fast as what Journey had gone through. "We'll save you, princess!" she shouted after their disappearing forms. Journey flinched, still looking slightly amused whilst thinking that she must have looked just as funny flailing whilst draped over the large ape's shoulder. "Very undignified," she said, turning to Emmett. Journey was making her way to the ladder as she continued talking. "Tell me you screenshot that." She'd been too bemused to pull up her Oasis camera in time, but now that she'd been the victim and now that she'd been witness to someone else being victim, she'd so be ready to capture Emmett's turn. She started to climb, knowing that this same ladder that had once led to the roof would now lead to a newly spawned level.

If they were dodging barrels like hurdles in the real world, Emmett knew he would have seriously bailed it into the ground by now. Sports were never his strongest suit, no matter how happy it would have made his dad if he had made the cut for the football team in freshman year of high school. He swears, sometimes he can still feel the smarts from Erickson mowing him over like a semi truck during tryouts. Here in the Oasis, the impossible was possible and Emmett was jumping so effortlessly over the barrels in his elf-like avatar that he felt as if he was almost catching air. Emmett couldn't remember if there weren't as many platforms has he had once remembered from playing retro videogames growing up or if this first level was simply easier than he had thought previously, because before they knew it the boys had reached the very last platform where Journey's character sat looking tirelessly bored in her frilly attire. Ray had made the first move in engaging in Journey's well being. As she expressed her boredom, Emmett let out a sigh of relief that she was okay and stepped forward into the conversation at her motioning of her hand to come closer. Allowing Journey to use his shoulder, he helped her down from the ledge she had been sitting on as her feet reached the bottom of the platform where Emmett and Ray stood.
"Well, that was easy!" Emmett exclaimed as he beamed at both of his friends. He knew it was way too early to celebrate though, as they still had a long way to go.
"Um, Ray?"
Emmett had been too busy scanning the finished level as the air fell silent as he pondered how the land would transport them to level two, until Journey's voice filled hesitation entered. Turning around to face Ray's avatar suddenly dressed in a bright pink dress, Emmett's complexion grew puzzled for a moment.
"Wow," Was all Emmett could make out before throwing his hands over his mouth to try and hold back his laughter. Little did the group know that Emmett mischievously engaged the screenshot function of his headset. With a single elongated blink, the hilarious screenshot presented itself before disappearing into a saved file. Perfect, Emmett giggled silently to himself as he turned his attention back to his friends. But only for a moment before the ginormous ape-like villain swiped Ray with his large hands and disappeared through a hole in the ceiling.
"We'll save you, princess!" "Very undignified,"
"I guess I'll be jinxing myself if I say that I hope I'm not next," Emmett chuckled lightly before they took off after Ray. Pointing their gazes to the ladder in contemplation on going up, they began to climb upwards towards the rooftop of level once as they trailed behind Ray and Donkey Kong
"Tell me you screenshot that."
"What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?" Emmett remarked through his smile as he trailed behind Journey closely, making their climb upwards. He was rather amused with himself. Being cheeky was fun, and he appreciated the moments where his friends allowed him to let loose and just simply be his fun, geeky self.

Suddenly something was going on with Journey's Avatar. The pink dress transformed into a red overall. He gazed at Emmett. His Avatar still also wore a overall. That meant... Could it be...? "Um, Ray?" Journeys voice and her Avatar's face gave him a first hint that it was fact. However he dared to look down at himself just to be sure. Yep. The Bansheequeen wore a pink dress. He was the princess now... Damn it! "Wow," "Not helpful, Dude," he grumbled at his friend. All of a sudden Donkey came back to pick up his new 'princess'. "Hey, steady, big boy!" Donkey didn't care about his objection and started to run, climb and jump away with him hanging over the ape's shoulder like a sack of spuds. "We'll save you, princess!" It was nice to hear Journey shouting after him but it felt so wrong because of his (admittedly funny) situation. "Oh, boy, I hope they didn't take a screenshot," he sighed. The big ape, of course, still didn't care.
The way through the jungle to level two didn't take that long. Ray had to admit that the hairy villain was at a faster pace than themselves before. They arrived a new tower which also looked a bit like an old fabric. But this one seemed to be higher than the first one. He tried to remember what he had read about the very first Donkey Kong Arcade games. If he remembered right the towers had become higher and higher with each level to confront the players with more difficult levels. And wasn't there fire in the old games?
At least Donkey arrived the top of the platforms and put him back aground - but he still stood near to him to be sure that his 'victim' wouldn't try to flee. Ray somehow wondered if it would be possible to flee. At least they probably couldn't finish the game if one of them would do so. So he now had to wait for his friends to rescue him. Well, everything for an epic item!
He soon started to feel bored. Just for fun he pressed the record-button on his RL-helmet to start a video recording. That would be fun later when they will be back out of the OASIS. "Hey, what's shakin', bacon?," he tried to start a conversation with Donkey Kong. Still the ape kept his silence. Ray's RL-alterego had to giggle when he tried to imagine how odd this scene might look like when someone would watch it from a third person perspective. "Okay, got it. You're a party pooper, right?" Donkey looked at him with his pixel eyes and grunted. "Phew, this could become a long, long standby time..."

Still giggling, Journey reached up for the rung of the ladder and continued to climb. "You got a shot of me, too, right?" she asked, glancing down. "I'll be sure to get one of you after we finish this level." She tossed a wink and a grin down at him, that wink timed to the screenshot she just took of his avatar's wide-eyed 'Aw crap' expression. Emmett already knew he was next and she was glad to see he seemed to have a good sense of humor about it, based off the chuckle he gave when he'd commented on it. The mental image of the Banshee Queen in a pink frilly dress thrown over Donkey Kong's shoulder had Journey giggling again. "This is gonna be my favorite OASIS album."
Clearing through the hatch in the roof, Journey found herself on the ground floor of the next level. Hands on her hips, she surveyed it whilst Emmett finished his climb through the hatch. She pointed upward to a shine of gold within the steel levels. "Those are like the bolts or brackets--not really sure what they are--" she interjected, "that we have to collect from every level to make the whole thing collapse and cause Kong to fall." Emmett might very well know all this, but Journey was too drawn into digging up old memories of a game she hadn't played in a long while to look at or even process what Emmett might be thinking.
"There's like, two or three on each level I think? And fooooour levels?" she drew out the number in her uncertainty. "You just have to walk or jump over them for them to collect. Oh! But be careful. Remember, once you collect it, it leaves a hole in the floor you have to jump over. Even though it's a small hole, if you don't jump it, you'll fall right through and lose a life." These old timey games didn't account much for spatial reality.
"That little pink purse over there," she pointed ahead of them, "is one of three or four little items around. I remember there being an umbrella also, I think at the very top." She pointed up. "They're not necessary to beat the level, but they give you points, and we all know the more points you can collect, the better. Sometimes it pays off later, sometimes it just makes your score higher," she said with a shrug. With these older games, it usually only went to making your score higher, but considering this was a hybrid world that connected the Mario World games throughout the decades, there was a chance there'd eventually be a payoff. The OASIS almost always rewarded you for going above and beyond.
Turning to face him with a look of determination and excitement for finally getting to play, she turned to him to settle on a game plan. "You take the left side, I'll take the right?"

"Those are like the bolts or brackets--not really sure what they are--" "that we have to collect from every level to make the whole thing collapse and cause Kong to fall."
Emmett panned his gaze over the next level they had just immersed themselves into. He focused on the objects that Journey was explaining and thinking out loud about and nodded attentively. He had grown up with games just as Journey did, however he didn't quite remember this one very well. Thankful to have Journey by his side to remind him of the games and levels that his memory couldn't recall, Emmett felt like they were ready to take this level on.
"You just have to walk or jump over them for them to collect. Oh! But be careful. Remember, once you collect it, it leaves a hole in the floor you have to jump over. Even though it's a small hole, if you don't jump it, you'll fall right through and lose a life."
Emmett gulped as he raised his eyebrows slightly to look above their heads at the life indicators at the top of the level. Small people that resembled their avatars lined together, Journey's and Ray's sat underneath like a scoreboard. "Golden bolty things that disappear when you step on them to make Kong fall - possibility of being clumsy and losing lives - what are we waiting for? Let's go get our princess," Emmett shrugged, followed by a slight chuckle at the friendly jab at Ray's current situation. He felt like they had done well so far, and this was only level two. How much harder could it possibly be than the first?
"You take the left side, I'll take the right?"
Raising his arms midway in a 'ready' stance, Emmett narrowed into a game face as her peered to the side at Journey who looked just as ready, and excited even that she finally got to play a level, "Sounds like a plan, stan. Let's do this!" With a single nod, Emmett began to make his way to the left side of the map and grabbing onto a ladder, he began to climb for his life. It didn't take him long before he reached the first platform, and one of the bolts sitting in the ground just waiting to be stepped on. Emmett ran up to it and with a tap of his foot, the bolt disappeared and left a hole in the platform just as Journey said it would.
"Heheh, that was easy," Emmett grinned proudly to himself before becoming startled suddenly by a whispy, fire creature bouncing his way, "Jinkies!" Emmett shrieked as he jumped over it in time. The creature passed under his feet and bounced itself away, disappearing off the side of the map, "What the heck are those things?!" Emmett called to Journey, who was making her way up the right hand side of the level.

Maybe he should have asked Journey before what she had done while she had to wait for him and Emmett to safe her... It started to be annoying being kept by a big ape who wasn't talkative and also not the brightest bulb in the box. But he kept on filming this scene with his cam. That will probably receive a lot of likes onto many internet platforms. And he was sure Emmett and Journey will laugh their asses off when they'll watch his Avatar in a pink dress trying to chat with Donkey. Suddenly he had to giggle. It might be even funnier if the undead bith - disguised as pinkie princess - would be flirty with big bad apelet. "Hey, Donkey," he started to get his kidnapper's attention back. He also sent him a lascivious look and lowerd his voice so that it sounded a bit like he was purring. (It sounded very creepy because of his Avatar's voice. But he had to admit that he liked it anyway.) "Maybe I should slip onto your lap... Just in case that I might try to get away, you know?! You'd just have to grab your buff arms around me to hold me, strong man." Donkey looked at him but again he wasn't sure if the A.I. understood the meaning of his words. Probably not. But that didn't mean that it would be less fun. "Okay, sweetheart - what about a lullaby?" Ray was sure that it won't work but he was starting to have fun kidding their opponent. So he started to sing a song. The first which came into his mind was 'All is found' from 'Frozen 2'. His real alter ego was glad that they got a private room so that nobody could enter while he was singing. (Normally he just did it for himself. No one else had ever hear him singing before.)

Journey mimicked his stance and game face and at the same time, they were off; Emmett heading for the left and she for the right.
The little pink purse was on the first level on her way. As soon as she walked by it, the points chime went off, the purse image changed into the number 300, then faded out and 300 more points appeared in the board statistics above them. Journey grinned and climbed the ladder furthest to the right, the chiming sound of a bolt being removed sounding from her left, indicating Emmett had successfully removed the first one.
"Heheh, that was easy,"
Journey rushed forward over another bolt and the game chimed the removal. She looked at Emmett in the distance at the other side of the level and grinned. "Yes! We got this!" She gave a air high five toward him, startling right along with him when an unexpected foe appeared.
"Jinkies!" "What the heck are those things?!"
Journey jumped over the one on her side as well, just barely making it in time. "Holy crap, I forgot about those little fireball guys!" she called out. "They're not that smart, not like the ghosts in Super Mario 3, where they'll come after you as soon as you turn your back. These guys just keep moving in the same direction they were heading and can travel up and down ladders. So keep an eye out for them on ladders also!" The one she'd jumped over reached the little hole where she'd collected the bolt and immediately turned, slowly wandering back her direction. "Oh, and they can't cross the hole from a missing bolt!" she added, quickly climbing to the next level to avoid the one coming at her.
Journey would head back down later for that last bolt on the second level. Right now, she concentrated on looking up and being ready to slide back down the ladder if another little fireball decided to start descending the one she was on. "There's a couple of hammer thingees on some levels," she called out. "If you jump and grab one, the little fireball guys will turn blue and be vulnerable for awhile, just like on Pac Man. Only don't eat 'em. You're gonna smash 'em with the hammer," she said, using the opportunity for the good ol' stating-the-obvious joke.

"Oh, and they can't cross the hole from a missing bolt!" she added, quickly climbing to the next level to avoid the one coming at her.
"There's a couple of hammer thingees on some levels," "If you jump and grab one, the little fireball guys will turn blue and be vulnerable for awhile, just like on Pac Man. Only don't eat 'em. You're gonna smash 'em with the hammer,"
Emmett cautiously peered around his shoulder left and right for the glowing balls of concern, "Smash them, don't eat them. Roger that," Emmett glanced back up at Journey one last time to confirm that he received the message before hopping over to the second ladder. He pulled himself up on the platform with bolts ready to be stomped on, yet he immediately noticed another one of the fire balls bouncing his way.
"Oh boy," Emmett uttered breathlessly. He had fought wolves and creatures larger than these little fire whisps in other worlds of the Oasis. Though, he couldn't help but to be greatly intimidated by their large, adorable eyes that looked as if they could suck out your entire soul if you stared for too long. Emmett shuddered before quietly reassuring himself, "Okay, I got this. You got this, Emmett," In a running lunge position, he bounced on his back leg momentarily as if to load a spring before bolting right into the direction of the fire ball bouncing his way. Emmett braced himself as he got closer, though before they could cross paths, Emmett stomped down on the bolt between them. A hole formed right in the middle of the platform, forcing the fire whisp to reroute back from the way it came.
"Yeah, that's right! Bounce away you cute little flame of death!" Emmett cheered. Placing his hands on his hips, he nodded to himself proudly before turning around to climb the third ladder. Just as he was near the surface of the third platform, a hammer suddenly appeared beside Emmett at the top. "The hammer thingee!" Emmett grabbed Journey's attention as he gasped in delight and smiling at Journey he pointed at the hammer before picking it up from out of the air. Placing his feet onto the platform, he saw that there wasn't just one fireball on this level - there were three. Emmett looked from the fire whisps which had just turned blue to the hammer and grinned cheekily before his gaze found Journey again, "I'll smash and you rescue our princess?" Emmett suggested as the game plan now involved a new item that could help them win this level in a matter of minutes.

Donkey continued with just starring at him but nothing else happened. The big ape's eyes didn't close, he didn't drop off. Damn it! He knew that it wouldn't work. But he always didn't like to just sit down and wait. He really couldn't sit quietly - except he got something to do. But at the moment he didn't have to.
"Okay, Big D, I've another idea." Ray continued to talk to Donkey as if he would have been programed to react to people's words although he knew that he wasn't. But it was way more fun this way than just kept quiet and wait. "Let's do a stare-contest!" No answer. But no answer didn't mean 'No'. So Ray started to showcase his best evil bith-face to stare down his enemy. (Again he was so glad that no one could watch them in real life during their OASIS travel.) "Com'on, Kong - show me what you've got!" Donkey didn't react. He just pursued keeping a wary eye on him.
Meanwhile Ray started to think about how he could edit this video. Maybe some stupid sound effects and funny background music when Donkey's face was shown? This surely would become fun. Perhaps he should show it to Emmett and Journey... Hopefully they would love with him and not about him...
The others! Suddenly he had an idea. "Hey guys - are you already out there?", he shouted out loud. Of course, he didn't turn around. He still wanted to win his stare-contest. "Hope you're not too far away. I'm feeling like I'm dying! This is deadly dullness." He wondered if the others were already close enough to hear him. And he also wished he would be able to see their faces if they had heard his words. He could imagine that both of them would have to giggle a lot. (And he also could imagine that Emmett might try to persuade him to do a 'Sylvanas as Princess Peach'-Cosplay... Gosh, please no!)
