The coronation of Queen Toadstool

The Audience Chamber was packed full of people, the most that Mario had seen at any one time. He could certainly see why: this was a part of the Mushroom Kingdom’s history in the making. He’d also never seen so many naked bodies in one single place before either. Every Toad, Beanish, and Hoohooligan had completely stripped down to bare skin. Every Koopa and Goomba had taken off what little clothing they were wearing to begin with. Every Yoshi and Brock… were already naked. It never struck Mario before just how little the non-humanoid denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom wore up until now. Just how did Goombas mate, anyway? Mario had never seen genitals on them before, and not even now when none of them were wearing anything and some of them had to at least be somewhat aroused. Were they like the reptilian Koopas and Yoshi, where their genitals were hidden behind a scaly slit until it was time to do the dirty? Mario still remembered the first time he’d seen a Yoshi’s penis, those reptilian pouches could hide away some pretty impressive schlongs.

Shaking his head to rid himself of those thoughts, Mario’s mind turned instead to how overdressed he felt here. He and Toadsworth were the only people in the entire room with any scrap of cloth on their bodies. Mario had removed his trademark cap out of respect, looking down at it he couldn’t help but think of his old partner, Cappy, a sentient hat that allowed Mario to possess the bodies of other beings. In light of his obtaining the Grimoire Fantasia, it would be nice to have that power again. Even now, Mario’s mind was crafting scheme after scheme for how he could utilize the Tome’s powers. When he got home, he’d be sitting down with it for quite some time.

But for now, the coronation. Peach knelt down in front of the throne and Toadsworth, presenting her bare ass and swollen slit to her subjects, Mario included (who was very much enjoying the view!). Next to them, a member of the Elite Squadron bore the crown that would soon rest upon Queen Toadstool’s sun-kissed head.

“Princess Peach Toadstool,” Toadsworth intoned, voice heavy with ritual and responsibility, “Daughter of King Toadstool, the First of her Name, do you swear to rule the Mushroom Kingdom with Respect, Poise, and, ahem, Dignity?”

A small snicker escaped the crowd (quelled by a glare from Toadsworth) as Peach replied, “I Do.”

“Do you swear to do your utmost to uphold the Law of the Lands of the Mushroom Kingdom and to not **** the Powers granted to you?”

“I Do,” Peach replied while Mario thought that talk was cheap.

“Do you swear to rule in such a manner that does not infringe upon the People’s Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?”

“I Do!” Peach replied, perhaps a little too enthusiastically.

“Then by the Powers invested in me as Royal Steward of the Mushroom Kingdom,” Toadsworth took up the crown and raised it above Peach’s head, “I hereby dub thee Queen Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom, First of Her Name.”

Toadsworth set the crown upon the Queen’s head, and then stepped to the side and bowed to her, “Long may she Reign!”

“Long may she Reign!” The crowd cheered, Mario included. He was certainly looking forward to the next part of this ceremony, what he had written down in that last paragraph had to take place now that there was nothing stopping it from occurring.

Queen Toadstool rose up slowly, took a step towards the throne, hung Perry from it with his face towards the crowd, and turned to face her people. Two Paratroopas descended to drape a royal cape on her slender shoulders. “People of the Mushroom Kingdom!” Peach spoke and the crowd grew silent, “I thank you for your support! This coronation could not of happened were it not for your love and generosity.”

“Long Live the Queen!”

“I wish to reward you all,” she continued, “A feast will be prepared shortly in honor of this event, but for now I wish to have a party of a different kind, more reflective of the Kingdom I wish to build with your help. A more liberated and prosperous Kingdom, worthy of the envy of a world…, no. A universe that constantly seeks to invade and destroy us!”

The crowd murmured. In their excitement of the day’s events, they had temporarily forgotten of threats such as Bowser breathing down their necks. Mario often wondered sometimes how the Kingdom didn’t just break down from the sheer anxiety of its people.

“To that end, I hereby declare a national holiday!” That snapped the populace back to the here and now. The Mushroom people sure did love their holidays. Mario remembered telling them about holidays from Earth, like Easter, Halloween, Christmas, and Free Slushy Day. They took to them immediately. He guessed when you live in a constant state of fear, those little bits of celebration were the only thing you could look forward to for a sense of normalcy.

“I declare today the Crown Orgy Day!” Peach said as she held the Vibe Scepter aloft and fired.
