And Then There Were... A Lot Of Them

And Then There Were... A Lot Of Them is a mystery where a group of a hundred of guests trapped in a mansion with the killer among them.
== Plot ==
Mario, Luigi, SuperMario231, Princesses Peach and Daisy, and Toad arrive on a small, isolated island off the coast of Sarasaland in the Mushroom Kingdom, with the Mario Bros.' is in Mario's honor, SM231's invitation being in honor of himself, and the rest of the three are in Peach's honor - all from an unnamed sender.
Just before they about to head inside the mansion, they saw SuperMarioGlitchy4, Meggy Spletzer, Saiko Bichitaru, Tari, SuperMarioGlitchy3, Fishy Boopkins and Bob Bobowski arrive, stating that they got the invitation in SMG4's honor, also from an anonymous as well. This has shocked them and became suspicious of the invitation.
What's next is that another car has arrive in the compound. SM231 looked at who's arriving and notices Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - the members of a British girl group, Little Mix. SM231 approaches Little Mix, "Little Mix? What are you girls doing in here?", and Jade replied, "We got a card, and says they're throwing a dinner in our honor." Perrie stated that they're in the middle of recording session for their new album LM6 when they got that anonymous letter. Tari and Meggy notices Little Mix as well, knowing that the two are fans of that girl group. Suspicion rises over that anonymous invitations that were sent to them, and they have no idea what are they're honoring them for.
Sayori, Yuri, Natsuki and Monika arrive as well, all bringing their stuff like notebook and manga. The Dokis are very suspicious of these invitations received to them for a dinner in Monika's honor.
What next is that Bowser arrives in his Koopa Clown Car.... with Bowsette? Mario, SM231, Luigi, and Peach all stare at him. "Oh. Hey. Uh... Didn't think I'd see anyone I knew here." said Bowser. He introduces Bowsette, which then greets them in a talkative manner. It's revealed that they see each other from time to time, and that Bowsette revealed that he disappeared for a month and then he called her.

As they reach 100 of them, they all collectively walk inside the mansion, where they were met by the butler and cook/housekeeper, Jeeves, who explain that they'll follow him to the second and third floors as he'll show their rooms, and their dinner would be expected at 8:00pm.
Later at 8:00pm, all of the guests are now gathered in a dining room with a 102-seater dining set, knowing that they're 100 of the guests and the additional two are intended for their hosts, which remains unknown. The guests talk amongst themselves regarding the invitation and the host's identity, as they were invited but the person behind this is yet to show themselves... until the host arrive at the dining room, revealed to be Gabe Newell (nicknamed "Gaben"), the co-founder and president of Valve, and his companion named Priscilla, who is a 29-year-old news reporter.
When the guests questioned Gaben about the invitation, they became enraged. In response, he said, "This dinner honors all of you," without providing an explanation. He then went on to tell them that he had recently become a born-again Christian because of Priscilla. He also admitted that he had wronged each of them in the past but that he was repentant after realizing that he was the man of God, which is precisely why he had invited them here to make amends. Mario asked him, "And-a why the hell should we trust-a you?" SM231 added, "Yeah, Gabe. You've been terrorizing my friends for years." Gaben answered, "I know there's some healing to be done here tonight; I hope you are patient with me. Please, won't you just give me a chance. And I'm promise that you won't be disappointed." After saying this, he returns to the kitchen to check on dinner, saying, "If you'll excuse me, I'll just go check on dinner." Priscilla then says, "Oh I'll help you sweetheart." and the pair leaves the room.
As the guests pick up where they left off, they find themselves puzzled and worried over Gaben's remarks. They also wonder why he suddenly turned the conversation to religion. It was at that moment that Bowsette started discussing astrology. Feeling his energy, she gets up from her seat and goes to the chair Gaben was meant to be sitting in. But Bowsette then unexpectedly died after being shot in the chest. No one heard the abrupt gunshot, which suggests that the gun used to murder her was a suppressed one. Everyone is stunned by the sudden and unexpected gunshot.
This leads the guests to believe that Gaben intends to murder them all, causing everyone to flee the dining room and dash to the main door, but seeing that there's a heavy thunderstorm but they dash towards their vehicles anyway in attempt to escape the mansion and the island by driving over a stone bridge, but a bolt of lightning strikes a tree, which falls over and destroys the bridge. With no other way out than the bridge that's destroyed, they decided to re-enter the mansion for shelter.
The 99 remaining guests are at the living room, despite being crowded as long as they remain together. The guests pull out their phones, however nobody saw they had any signal. Two out of four Little Mix members (Perrie and Jade) try to use the landline, with Perrie holding a handset onto her ear, and Jade dialing, but Perrie doesn't hear a dialtone, implying that the line has been cut dead, causing panic among the guests. Two other Little Mix members (Leigh-Anne and Jesy) attempted to silence the panicking guests, telling them to calm down, although they fear that Gaben might kill any one of them makes them paranoid, thus when Gaben and Priscilla return to the living room, everyone accuses him of killing Bowsette. Gaben responded in confusion, very clueless of what happened, so they went to the crime scene with him, but Bowsette's body had disappeared from where she died.
Amidst accusations, Gaben pleads innocence before he, too, is murdered in front of the guests by an unseen killer with a knife during a power outage, causing Priscilla to faint. This realized the guests that the Bowsette's killer is not him, and that Gaben is not the killer, but AMONG THEM. No one knows who among them is perpetrating the murders, causing the guests to point their fingers at each other in fear. Who really did it?
Wario and Waluigi find the gun that murdered Bowsette during their investigation of the dining room. Since the pistol was rigged to go off when Gaben was seated, Bowsette's death was the result of the wrong man, wrong place, and wrong time, and the murderer was going after him rather than her. This raises the following query: Who wanted Gabe Newell dead?
The remaining guests starts searching for Gaben's killer, but soon realize that everyone has a motive for killing him, and that implied that Gaben has terrorized several people of his sociopathic ways such as:
*Replacing MarioMario54321's Nintendo Switch device with a PS5 disguised as the Switch device.
*Stealing MG1's mug from his house.
*Taking Dr. Eggman's Twitter handle.
*Switching around the bones of the skeleton in Dr. Mario's office, causing his physical therapy license getting revoked.
*Taking a Penthouse magazine into the bathroom of Professor E. Gadd's lab (Gadd Science, Inc.) and left his little handiwork in the sink.
*Vandalizing few pages of Monika, Sayori, Natsuki and Yuri's notebooks by drawing phalluses.
*Physically assaulting the members of Little Mix by punching their throats during the music video shoot of one of their songs.
*Forcing Sonic to see him making out with Amy.
*Stealing Meggy's beanie from her apartment in Inkopolis.
*Stealing Tari's Super Smash Each Other In The Ass Bros. game from her house.
*Bribing the respective record labels of Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande into making all of their respective albums a flop, thus attempting to sabotage their careers.
*Stealing off Barbie, Teresa and Nikki's wardrobe outfits from Scarlet's concert tour.
*Stealing Gretchen Fullido from Bowser.
This has caused everyone to argue amongst themselves over each other's motives... until Wario and Waluigi discovers a vault that's hidden behind a shelf, with a staircase leading down, causing everyone to enter the vault and onto the staircase to the secret basement, where at the end of it is a dimly-lit library room of Gaben. Once there, SM231 finds a notebook on the desk, and he opens it, revealed that Gaben had made a list of all his misdeeds to make amends, which explains the motives from the guests, and additional motives from the other guests as written on it such as: 
*Impersonating a dentist to harm Ellen's teeth while he himself is unlicensed.
*Hacking and modifying Anastasia's failing grades with passing grades of A.
*Destroying academic group project of Kristel, Nessa and Aia for their history subject, thus failing their performance task of the said subject.
*Molesting Jeeves' 14-year-old nephew who then committed suicide.
The members of Little Mix then discovers something suspicious on the drawer, where Jade and Perrie picked up two pill bottles of a prescription drug under the brand name of "OxyContin", seeing that not only two bottles they picked, but a whole stash of bottles of this opioid painkiller - all prescribed to Gaben. Jesy and Leigh-Anne notices the label of those pill bottles of the said brand name of an oxycodone and revealed that they're from Gadd Science, Inc., in which Professor E. Gadd denies his involvement with Gaben and that Gaben never went onto his lab and acquired those, but SM231 reads an entry regarding Gaben's possession of prescription drugs where it revealed that Gaben had blackmailed Muriel, the wife of Professor E. Gadd, into supplying him with a ton of bottles of "OxyContin" and that goes on for months as a result of the blackmail, and that he threatened her into turning her in to the police.
This leads to Muriel being a prime suspect as they all turn their heads onto her. Bowser approaches Muriel closer, before he hold her arm, telling him to surrender quietly. However, his sentence cut off after hearing another thunderstorm, causing the power to go off again, leaving the room in pitch black. Few seconds later, the power went back on, but noticed that Muriel had disappeared. They start running back towards the living room from the basement and once arrive there, no any sign of Muriel.
SM231 decided to split everyone into teams, with him grouped himself with Mario, SMG4, SMG3, OnyxKing67, Nessa, Kristel and Aia, then he grouped Luigi, Peach, Daisy and Toad. He then grouped three out of four Little Mix members (Leigh-Anne, Jesy and Perrie) with Dr. Eggman, Bowser and King Dedede, but Jade and Perrie objected, with Jesy telling him that they're gonna utilize their time to rehearse for their upcoming concert tour, in which SM231 allowed Little Mix members to remain as a team of four and added Kirby to accompany Little Mix. He then grouped the rest of the guests, and he leaves one six-person team of Meggy, Tari, Saiko, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez, who are assigned to remain in the ground floor to watch over any sign of Muriel or anything suspicious, as the rest leaves the living room to go to the different areas of the mansion to find Muriel.
During their search, none of the teams find any sign of Muriel.... except for Little Mix and Kirby, who were first discovered Muriel's now-dead body in the hallway with a knife on her back after they heard her scream, implying that she got stabbed, still by an unseen killer. The guests also heard and arrive on the scene, all shocked. Professor E. Gadd then mourns on her wife's dead body, and Wario notices the knife used to kill Muriel as he pointed at it - the same one that used to stab Gaben earlier. Everyone now discovered that Muriel is not the killer.... but who knows? From 99 it went down to 98, and the killer among them is still lurking around.
Everyone heads back to the dining room to plan what they're doing next, with SM231 telling them to stick together from now on. Axol then shows Mario his phone signal, and Mario discovers the wallpaper on Axol's phone showing Axol "holding up" the whole Vinewood sign in Los Santos, but Axol explains to him that he is standing in the foreground with the picture taken by Melony. When Axol checks back his phone, he notice that the signal is gone. He then propose himself going to the certain areas of the mansion in the upper floors such as the rooftop to find a signal and call the cops.
Peach asked him if it would work, but Axol tells her "It's only one way to find out.", before Melony joins in, accompanying Axol. She asked to go with him, but Axol objects that it's dangerous, "especially with Axol Jr. on the way". Axol's mention of his and Melony's upcoming child reacting the guests in awe, and Tari and Meggy congratulates Melony. Melony and Axol kissed each other on the lips before the latter runs off the room to go upstairs, with SM231 telling them not to leave until he returns. They soon realize Priscilla is also missing because her body is no longer there from the couch when she passed out, making everyone think she is the killer, arguing over her whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Axol goes to an upper balcony to find a phone signal and contact the police. As soon as he starts dialing, he hears footsteps and noticed someone is approaching him before he later be killed and fell off the ground, with a wound visible on his forehead, implying that he was hit with something. It's now down to 97, and everyone run outside to see Axol's body which lies on the ground, all shocked at what they saw. Dr. Mario notices Axol's wound, confirmed that he's dead before he fell before he claimed that he was hit with a blunt object. Melony then mourned over Axol, with Meggy comforted her.
The 97 surviving guests head back indoors and to the living room again, with Daisy shrugging while saying that Priscilla is the killer, but SM231 objects Daisy's statement as there's no proof of anyone committing this crime as of this moment. Soon, Jeeves points out that one of the four BAFTA trophies is missing on the shelf. This confirmed that it is a blunt object (as pointed out by Dr. Mario) that used to kill Axol. Everyone decides to travel as one group and search everyone's rooms. Eventually, Kristel, Nessa and Aia locates the bloodstained BAFTA award underneath MG1's bed. MG1 defends himself and suggests that Priscilla planted it there, but after a drip of blood lands on Mario's nose and noticed the vent that drips it, SM231 decided to open the vent which revealed and discovered Priscilla's dead body on it. MG1 is thus believed to be the killer and starts running out of the room (pushing Luigi, Daisy, Peach and Taylor Swift off, knocking them unconscious) and through the halls and got pursued by a group composed of Mario, SM231, SMG4, Dr. Mario, OnyxKing, FM54321, X, SuperG64 and MM54321, who were later eventually caught him in the dining room.
The atmosphere was gloomy the following morning when police arrested MG1 and construction workers arrived to fix the bridge. As this was going on, Sayori in the Dokis' guest room revealed that she hadn't slept since one in the morning because of the horrors they had seen. Natsuki, in particular, was clearly upset and had been seen puking in the bathroom. Yuri and Monika consoled and supported each other, as well as Natsuki and Sayori.
The mood was just as gloomy in guest room of Little Mix members. Shaken and weeping, Perrie covered herself with a mattress on the bed in an attempt to find comfort after the events, which had left her badly disturbed. Gathering around her, Jade, Jesy, and Leigh-Anne offered her their support, even though they were still crying after seeing the killings last night. The group found it difficult to accept the trauma they had gone through as a girl group.
While a few of them prepare to go, Samantha attempts to console Diane, her colleague in the media, and inquires about her plans for the future once MG1 is put in jail. After expressing her intention to anchor the news alone, Diane proudly displays a blouse she designed for the occasion. Samantha first wonders why Diane is wearing a shirt for the event, but when she learns that Diane will be alone, she realizes: Diane is the murderer. It turns out that Diane, and not MG1, was the perpetrator all along.
Diane threatens Samantha with a pistol before outlining her goal: she intended to get vengeance on MG1 for forcing the TV network's news section to replace her, a 39-year-old newscaster, with a younger one. In addition, she was seeking retribution against Gaben for having rejected her due to her advanced age in a love engagement. Diane recognized an opportunity when she met Priscilla while working as an intern. Everyone was invited to Gaben's mansion for a reconciliation dinner after she persuaded Priscilla to assist in converting Gaben to Christianity. Diane had to come up with an alternate plan when Bowsette took Gaben's seat since the timed silencer intended to murder Gaben would have framed MG1. To exact her revenge, she stabbed Gaben, but then noticed that her fingerprints were on the knife. Priscilla and Muriel saw her tampering with the evidence (Priscilla caught her pulling the knife off Gaben's body upon regaining consciousness, and Muriel caught her trying to plant a knife on MG1's bag), so she killed them so they wouldn't tell other fellow guests about her crimes. She then killed Axol with the BAFTA trophy she stole from the living room to stop him from calling the police before she could successfully frame MG1 by planting the bloodstained trophy under his bed.
Diane responds, "I don't know," when Samantha inquires about Bowsette's corpse. In a cutaway, a gang of paratroopas and paragoombas are seen escorting Bowser to his castle while carrying Bowsette's body home.
Samantha pleads for her life as Diane leads her outside the mansion to be killed as SM231 fails to recognize her secret cries for assistance. A gunshot makes Samantha shudder, but when she opens her eyes, she is uninjured. But Diane is hurt badly by a bullet wound in her chest, and she falls toward Samantha from a tall cliff into the choppy water below. Samantha expresses gratitude to the unidentified attacker—who turns out to be Mario—for saving her life and for his sniper gun.
