“Really, SolarBlaze? Really? You call THIS a story? Even Sticker Star did better, and that was a piece of garbage!”

— Cranky Kong, Part 5

Super Mario Brothers: Legend of the Chaos Star is a story written by SolarBlaze, started on September 26, 2012. Having been inspired by the first three games in the Paper Mario series, the author's goal is to combine their plot elements into one story, while at the same time, adding ideas of his own.

Plot

After another humiliating defeat at the hands of the Mario Brothers, Bowser decides to start recruiting new members of the Koopa Troop to use for his next scheme to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Among these new recruits is a pair of mysterious, magical jester twins who look suspiciously similar to Dimentio. As they got themselves acquainted with Bowser, they informed him of a powerful object called the "Chaos Star", which, according to the twins, possesses the power that the Koopa King needs in order to defeat his enemies, make Princess Peach/Toadstool his bride, and conquer the Mushroom Kingdom (as well as the rest of the world).

However, even though the twins claim to be nothing but loyal servants to Bowser, there just may be more to them, as well as the Chaos Star itself, than they're letting on. Who are these two mysterious characters, and what are their true intentions? When their plan is set in motion, will Mario and Luigi have what it takes to stop them?

Nods/References to the Games

Birdo's dislike of Princess Peach throughout the story stems from the fact that the two of them had bad chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers. It also comes from the events of Superstar Saga, where Birdo was forced to pose as the princess, and ended up getting her voice stolen by Cackletta and Fawful in the process.
The scene in the first chapter where Dimentia and Dimention read entries out of Bowser's diary regarding his crush on Princess Peach was a nod to an intermission cutscene in the first Paper Mario. It was also a reference to the scene in Super Paper Mario where Dimentio read passages out of Mimi's diary.
During the scene in Part 3, where Flurrie accidentally squeezes Jr. Troopa too hard, Goombella compared the choking noise he made to Sir Grodus's laugh, much to the amusement of Mario and Bobbery.
One of Punchinello's Bob-omb minions was given the name of "Johnson" as a nod to a running gag that was started in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
The mechanical dragon, "Zillatron" that Larry used in the seventh chapter was an homage to Hooktail and Fracktail. Additionally, the fact that the battle took place within a fortress located in a grassland was a nod to each of the first chapters of the Paper Mario series.
In the tenth chapter, a Terrapin makes a reference to a line that one of the X-Nauts said to Grodus during one of the intermission cutscenes in Thousand-Year Door.
Ludwig's attempts to scare Luigi and his party with ghostly moaning noises in chapters eight through ten was a reference to the first two Paper Mario games, where Tutankoopa and Cortez tried to do the same.

Quotes

Cranky Kong

"You guys lost to Bowser? Oh, come on! Back in my day, I'd have knocked him out in one punch!" ~ Part 5
"'Polywarp'? What kinda name is that? [...] sounds like somethin’ straight outta Pokémon, which, by the way, is rubbish. ~Part 5
"I had to [come]. Who else is gonna add some flavor to this boring, poorly-written excuse for a story?" ~Part 11
"Tired of me? You should be glad I even considered it! SolarBlaze couldn't write to save his life! Not even the writers of the Donkey Kong Country series did THIS terrible of a job! Seriously, I could pull out a better script from the crack of my behind!" ~Part 11
"Just to be clear, I know everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that's gonna go down in this story, and I'll tell you... It has one of the stupidest-looking final bosses I've ever seen; one that makes both Tiki Tong and Fredrik seem original by comparison, along with a rubbish ending that has 'cliche' written all over it!" ~Part 11
"Ugh, seriously. What does SolarBlaze think this is? A Dr. Seuss book?" ~Part 11
"Who asked you? A stepladder with eyes and wings... Who came up with such garbage character design?" ~Part 11
"Yep, we got the stupid star. That's as 'okay' as things get for this rubbish story." ~Part 12
"Yep, that's SolarBlaze's GENIUS writing for you. By the way, don't I know you from somewhere? You look familiar..." ~Part 12
"Don't go asking me for a potion of good writing, as even MY genius is unable to rescue this story from its rightful destiny in the recycle bin. Assuming, of course, that someone's actually bored enough to wanna download this rubbish." ~Part 12

Trivia

Originally, SolarBlaze intended for the story to take place during Princess Peach's birthday, but since that had already been done in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he opted for it to be the Mario Brothers' birthday instead (which, coincidentally, ended up tying into the "Year of Luigi").
In a past continuity, Dimentia and Dimention were depicted as Dimentio's siblings, but because SolarBlaze considered that to be somewhat cliche, he decided against it. Instead, their resemblance to him was explained by stating that they originated from a dimension-bending jester clan, similar to how there are various Merlons, Merlees, and Merluvlees within the Tribe of Ancients.
