Mervin the Magician


As our heroes fight against King Koopa, they travel around the kingdom, stopping off in different locations wherever they find a situation. Most of these tend to be parodies of famous movies or generic plot concepts, one of the earliest being a parody of the stories of King Arthur and Camelot. During this adventure, they find help in a wizard who guides them to the legendary weapons they’ll need to fight this specific battle.

This is Mervin, a parody of Merlin doing a Mel Brooks impression. He protects the kingdom of Cramalot, awaiting the one destined to be king. When that turns out to be Mario, Mario quickly passes the buck, giving Mervin the legendary weapons and telling him to be king.

As a fighter, Mervin will be slow and floaty, with a greater emphasis on magical trickery rather than physical attacks. His moves will pull from across the episode, making use of the golden plunger and plumber’s snake Mario and Luigi wield.

Likelihood rating: Non-game
