Okay, you won't believe this, but I came up with this while half-asleep. Keep in mind while reading that we're starting at the 'pre-boss cutscene' in the Bowser Galaxy of World 6, through to the end. Also, this would require a hell of a lot of ASM, so it's mostly food for thought. Here goes:


[textwallofchina]

Mario falls to the ground, landing on his feet. Looking up, he sees Bowser, clearly ready to take Mario on (or, as ready as he usually is, so...whatever). Bowser leaps towards Mario, gives a long speech, then forces them to the usual battle planet. *Proceed with first stage of existing Final Bowser Battle*.

Afterwards, Mario watches as the Grand Star flies down to the ground, with Princess Peach in tow. Mario rushes to her, but then Bowser bursts through the platform and snatches Peach and the Grand Star, and flies off. Mario watches this, running and jumping to try and grab onto Bowser, but to no avail. Bowser is now out of sight. Mario wanders away from the edge of the platform, thinking to himself. Then, Master Luma pops out of Mario's hat, flutters around to grab Mario's attention, then points to a direction offscreen. Mario looks over there, and the camera flies over to show the three Red Lumas lowering a Red Star to the ground.

Mario understands...or so he thinks. He begins to approach, but the Red Lumas stop him, and guide him to stand back. As he does so, the camera zooms out a lot, revealing a group of Lumas numbering in the hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions. Then, they all begin to form a cone above the Red Star, funneling themselves into it, accompanied by dramatic visual effects and such. Then, the Red Star (which now looks a lot like A Rainbow Star, but with eyes) floats slightly into the Air.

Then, Rosalina's Comet Observatory flies out from offscreen (coming from the middle of the bottom edge of the screen, on a 45-degree angle to the left), flies around, and Rosalina and Polari (not Tahcryon) emerge from it, Rosalina informs Mario, "These are Dark Times, I see. Best of luck." she then turns to Polari (still not Tahcryon), and says "Well...what are you waiting for?" Polari (still not Tahcryon) says nothing, just Flies into the Red Star. The screen fades to white, accompanied by the sound from when Lubba and his crew fix up Starship Mario in vanilla SMG2, then the screen fades back in, with the camera at a close angle on the formerly Red Star. Its border is Black, the center is Rainbow-coloured, and...yeah, it's the Neo Star if you couldn't tell by now xD. Rosalina instructs Mario to take the Neo Star and use it to save Peach, and the Universe as a whole. Mario walks over to it, and picks it up. It bursts into a white, subtly rainbow-coloured flash of light, and when the flash disperses (about 2 seconds after), Mario is revealed once more, in an outfit similar to the Flying outfit, but everything that was Red is Rainbow-coloured and slowly scrolling, as well as his irises. Mario glances at his new outfit momentarily, then looks up at Rosalina and nods in confirmation of her instruction. Master Luma flies back into Mario's cap. Mario then runs towards the edge of the platform, and jumps off. He flies out from offscreen, at a speed considerably faster than normal Red Star flight.

*gameplay begins once more here.* Mario flies forth, dodging numerous obstacles as he goes. Eventually, Bowser comes into view, in the distance. He sees Mario, and starts shooting fireballs and calling meteors to deter Mario. These meteors are the key to winning. Mario has to hit them with a spin attack, then they fly to the opposite edge of the screen, where Mario must spin them again, which launches them at Bowser. After 3 of these, Bowser gets angry. Instead of fireballs, he now shoots swathes of fire, which Mario must fly over or under to avoid and catch the meteors, which almost always fall on the side of the swathes of flames that Mario is farthest from. After 6, Bowser tumbles to the ground, but emits a wave of energy that pulls Mario with him. They fall to a round planet.

This area is similar to the SMG1 first and second Bowser battles, except that Mario must now throw large fireballs at Bowser (with Fire Mario controls, but with large fireballs that are Rainbow-coloured, and black at the center). Once one of these hits (hard, because Bowser jumps around and moves a lot), he is knocked onto his shell, where Mario must jump on him. He will start rolling away from Mario. Mario must now jump on Bowser (also no easy feat, as Bowser moves fast, has a variable trajectory, and moves even faster when further damaged).

After 3 hits, Bowser flies off, but Mario doesn't lose his trail this time. He keeps up with Bowser, until Bowser is flying above a supermassive Black hole. Mario must now fly over to Meteors and Ground-pound them into Bowser, like in the second part of the SMG2 final battle...except the Meteors are few and far between, in a ring around Bowser. After 3 of these, Bowser starts shooting fire at them, which heats them up, turning them red-hot. If Mario touches a molten meteor, he takes damage. After 4 meteors, Bowser starts calling more meteors to destroy existing ones. Not all of them do, mind you, and the ones that don't add to the ones available to Mario, but now there's no telling if a Meteor is going to be there or not. After 5 hits, Bowser starts periodically destroying all the meteors by emitting a stone-shattering roar. After 6, the Grand Star s knocked out of Bowser's Grasp, and Bowser momentarily gives a defeat speech (like in SMG2), before falling into the Black hole. Mario sees the Grand Star flying in with Peach onboard, and he begins to fly towards it.


But then Bowser Jr. snatches both, and uses the Grand Star to activate three autonomous Megahammers! These are the same as the normal one, except with no back protection or weakpoints, no sling stars, and a lot more Bullet Bill cannons. Mario has to fly to guide these Bullet Bills to the Megahammers' weak points.

After all 3 Megahammers are defeated, Mario flies off and catches up with Bowser Jr, who , after a speech about avenging his father and completing the cause, takes Mario on in a Battle similar to the battle against him and his airship in SMG1, but with a lot more insanity going on, and Mario must throw more large Rainbow-y fireballs at him, instead of Koopa Shells (and his fire rate is now a lot lower than during the Bowser fight, as Mario is being heavily drained from maintaining the Neo Star's power for this long). After this, the Grand Star is freed...but now it's way over in the distance and the whole Galaxy is crumbling to pieces.

Mario has to platform his way up and across a fairly long path and tower (he is no longer able to fly, as he is too drained), before arriving at the Grand Star's location. He collects the Grand Star, and he and Peach fly off with it. When they arrive at [hub area], Mario begins to lose his balance. The camera goes into first person from Mario's point of view, just as Mario falls over, showing his eyes slowly shutting. Later, (back in third person), Mario wakes up in the same location as he does in SMG1. Stuff proceeds more or less as in SMG1 from here, but with Gameplay in the credits, like SMG2, and NMG credits.

The last thing the player hears is Mario saying "Thank you for playing this hack!", accompanied by the Neo Mario Galaxy logo, and the Team's usernames in a ring around it.

A text box appears, saying "The game has been saved, and so has the universe."

The title screen appears. The end.
