#and karen Will confiscate their ninja gear and shotgun for a week

[duckapus]

Idea: GG brings Zack, Larry and Jim to Dreamland so they can all try beating one of the Arenas together. To make sure the boys don't actually get hurt, she applies secondary hitboxes with health bars to them that'll absorb any damage. They'll still feel the hits without actually getting injured, and if their HP runs out they'll be put in a "downed" state for a few seconds until either one of the other kids revives them or they time out and get teleported out of the current battle. She also applies copy abilities so they're actually able to fight.

Zack gets Ninja because it synergizes well with him being a cat.

Jim gets Supplex, and is really excited about it because he's always wanted to be a Chuckster.

Larry doesn't need one because the Koopalings have been Boss characters ever since their introduction in SMB3

GG gets Beam, but she's actually nerfing herself by doing that because her actual abilities are way too overpowered for most Kirby Bosses, and getting a real challenge (along with letting the boys actually meaningfully contribute) is the Whole Point.

And if she conveniently "forgets" to remove the copy essence code from Zack and Jim's base programming afterwards, well. It's not like that sort of thing isn't on-brand for her, and compared to a lot of other changes she's genuinely forgotten to revert in the past this one's relatively harmless.

#smg4 #smg4 ocs #not sure if i'd call this a full episode idea #the gamer girl #smg4 zack #larry koopa #jim the pianta #the arena #copy abilities #the mushroom kingdom can be a dangerous place and two of her three closest friends are mostly defenceless #if she can get away with giving them power and teaching them how to use it to protect themselves and each other she WILL #plus she's a massive kirby fan and genuinely wanted to share that passion with her boys #ninja zack is Absolutely going to abuse his powers and constantly jumpscare his siblings #and cody Will retaliate with force #and karen Will confiscate their ninja gear and shotgun for a week #'cause that's just how these cats be #gg probably picks one of the earlier arenas because even with the safety net those three are Not Ready for modern Kirby Final Bosses
