Who Killed Toadsworth?

Who Killed Toadsworth? is a 2010 Halloween special of StacheBros. It is a sequel to Toadsworth's House of Horrors, and the second special in the Spooky Stache Trilogy.
==Plot==
The special starts with a narrator explaining that Toadsworth has been sending invitations for people to come to his house.
Luigi is terrified of the idea, remembering the last time he and Mario went to Toadsworth's place, but Mario thinks it will be fine and takes his brother along. Diddy Kong finds it exciting as he hasn't been to a Halloween party before, but Donkey Kong is hesitant, also remembering last time. Diddy decides to go and check it out anyway. Not wanting anything to happen to his little buddy, DK follows him. Wario and Waluigi both agree to visit the house so they can rob Toadsworth. Yoshi absolutely refuses, believing it to be another trick from Toadsworth to sell real estate. Petey Piranha and Goomba, having heard Bowser's been invited, decide to join him and crash the party, bringing a reluctant Koopa, who hates Halloween for it's frightening imagery.
With nearly the entire StacheBros cast getting their invitations, they all head off to Toadsworth's house, just as it begins to rain. Luigi stops them, warning them that Toadsworth is tricking them to get brutally killed, but everyone ignores him and enters the house. Luigi decides to go back home, when he hears Mario screaming. He goes inside to find him lying on the floor in what appears to be a pool of his own blood. Luigi cries over his brother's death, but then Mario awakens alive and well with a ketchup bottle. Luigi calms down and warms upon realizing that Toadswoth was just inviting everyone for his birthday party.
As the group sits at a table, Toadsworth prepares to serve them some steak, but when he opens the dish's lid, there's nothing on there. Suddenly, lightning strikes the house, taking out the lights. Everyone starts to panic until Bowser lights up some candles. Princess Peach then notices Toadsworth lying on the table, dead. The group freaks out again until a booming voice yells "SILENCE!!!". It's Boo, who appears to explain the situation: Toadsworth has been murdered, and while she knows who did it, she forces the others to figure it out their selves, for they are the culprits. If the killer is revealed, she'll torture them in the afterlife, and if everyone fails to find out by midnight, they will join her on the other side.
9:27
The group decides to go along with the mystery by going around and stating what they know.
Mario starts off with the steak: Toadsworth was exited to show it to everyone, and when he opened the lid, it was gone. Waluigi thinks he ate it, while Luigi thinks he misplaced it. Bowser soon confesses that he ate the steak, and is about to tell the others what he saw, but Goomba scolds him for eating it and accuses him for killing Toadsworth. Bowser starts choking to death and collapses to the ground. Luigi suspects the steak had poison in it.
9:42
It seems that Bowser didn't actually commit the murder, so now everybody is back to square one. Peach suggests telling them what she knows, but after saying they would love her again, some of the characters reveal their dislike of Peach; Mario only dated her for her money, and Wario and Waluigi robbed her because they never liked her way of ruling. Peach begins having a tantrum, and she tells Wario that she heard him and Waluigi discussing their plan to rob Toadsworth, but what Wario doesn't know is that Waluigi secretly killed Toadsworth so they could rob him and Peach some more without him knowing. This causes a safe to drop on Waluigi, killing him.
10:07
Luigi hypothesizes that the reason Bowser and Waluigi were killed is because the spirits in the house kill those who aren't guilty. Wanting to see if he's right, Mario says Diddy killed Toadsworth, which makes him explode.
10:21
Mario requests Koopa to share his part of the story. He says there were two things he noticed:
# Luigi was upset at Toadsworth when he saw Mario supposedly dead on the floor; it could be Luigi wanted to get back at him for scaring him like that.
# Mario, after revealing he wasn't dead, claimed to have had butterfingers and slipped the ketchup bottle on the floor; perhaps he had a knife and, in a state of absolute fear, accidently threw it at Toadsworth when the blackout occurred.
Mario and Luigi then make a rebuttal: Luigi was upset at Nintendo, and Toadsworth doesn't have any markings on his body to indicate he was stabbed, making it seem he only had a heart attack, though Koopa reminds them that Boo said Toadsworth was murdered, so it wouldn't be a heart attack.
Peach gets bored with the argument and decides to take Toadsworth's body to the doctor to find out what happened; but as she grabs the front door's knob, she gets electrocuted. Boo appears for a brief moment telling her "None shall pass!".
Back with the others, Luigi laughs at the absurdity that Peach thought she could leave, only to get turned to ash by a lightning bolt.
10:53
There's almost one hour left to solve the mystery.
Going by Luigi's hypothesis, Mario says that everyone who died didn't do it, and it has to be one of the current survivors. DK then shouts he did it, but doesn't get killed. He realizes that it's because he didn't use the words "kill Toadsworth" in the sentence, so he yells "I KILLED TOADSWORTH!". At that moment, one of the candles leans to DK, burning him. He wails in pain and begs for someone to kill him. Hearing this, Mario grabs a knife and stabs DK.
Petey then accuses Mario for killing Toadsworth, but Mario argues with him that that's not the case, until Wario stops them. He says it's now 11:24, as in, they're running out of time.
11:36
Petey starts to blame Goomba for the murder, claiming he wanted revenge for the steak disappearance as he said during that he hated disappointments. Wario then goes on a tirade, ranting about how the steak is not important, and that everyone is just asking for each other to die; Wario then accidently gets Goomba or Petey killed after saying both of them did it.
11:48
Twelve minutes are left. The last three survivors, Mario, Wario, and Koopa, are now sitting on the floor surrounding a candle.
Mario says that neither of them could be the culprits, as his heart is too pure, Koopa's too anxious and wimpy, and Wario has been paranoid about everyone dying from the beginning. However, he then remembers an exchange Koopa had with Waluigi earlier when they were heading to the house, saying he wanted to feel important.
This causes Mario to realize the truth: Koopa is the killer.
His hatred for Halloween had gotten so strong that it prompted him to murder Toadsworth by hitting him in the head with his shell; this backfired as Koopa broke his shell when committing the act.
Mario is then shot by Koopa. He explains to him that October 31st is also his birthday, and while every year everybody goes trick-or-treating or going to parties, he was stuck home alone blowing out candles. He then took his anger out on Toadsworth as he always invited everyone to his house for his own birthday. Koopa then shoots Mario again, before shooting himself.
12:00
Wario is now the only one left alive; everyone, including the murderer, are dead. He then leaves the room, and hears knocking on the door. He answers it, greeted by Yoshi. He asks if this is another real estate scheme, and Wario says it's not.
The special ends with the narrator, revealed to be Boo, saying there's no other day spookier than October 31st, and advises those who come to his house to be lean, before saying in a demonic voice "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!"
