The IC will be going up on September 5th!
Isle Delfino. A tropical paradise just a few hours away from the Mushroom Kingdom, this beautiful island is THE place for a vacation that will relax and refresh you, no matter what you've gone through. Ever since a certain plumber rescued the Shine Sprites and cleaned up the mess caused by a certain Koopa, Isle Delfino has seen a massive increase in tourism, so much so that every ticket on a flight there has to be bought months in advance. Luckily, you arrive there without having to spend a single penny-in fact, you wake up on a plane with no recollection of booking a flight, or even knowing what Isle Delfino even is. But after a particularly rough landing, you soon find yourself involuntarily thrust into an adventure that's like nothing you could've ever imagined. For there is evil lurking in this paradise, and nothing is as it seems. Every move you make is watched, judged, calculated into a scheme where you could very well have no say in. And with just one wrong move, you could lose it all-including your own life.
This is...Super Mario Sunshine: Trouble in Paradise.
A Message From the GM!
Hello! The name's Yun, and this is the newest game in the ongoing Murder Series, based on-you guessed it-Super Mario Sunshine. For anyone new to the Murder Series, welcome! We're so glad to have you, and hope you can join us for this game. We usually do our RPing down in the Murder subforum, but I'm hoping to get some more lovely folks into our group, and what better way to do that than with a game based on an old nostalgic classic?
Now, I know what you may be thinking: "Murder and Mario? How does that work?" Well, the reason we're called the Murder Series is because we originally ran RPs that were a lot like Mafia/Town of Salem/etc. Each one we've done tends to be based around an existing series, sometimes even a really cool crossover of two or more! We've had games based on Resident Evil, Danganronpa, the Fate series, Mass Effect, Gravity Falls, and so much more! Along with that, we also have people play characters from all different fandoms (though OCs are always welcome!). You ever want to see Bayonetta team up with Ruby Rose? How about Samurai Jack in a battle against Bill Cipher? Both have happened so far, as well as tons of other really cool crossover fights, friendships, and romances. You'll be solving puzzles, investigating murders, fighting classic enemies...possibilities are endless!
Now, since the series has been going on quite a while (a good three years now, I think!) there is a lot of lore and backstory to catch up on, which you can find on our wiki. Don't let that scare you away, though-I've worked to make this game as beginner-friendly as possible. You won't need to know a whole bunch about it, but our group is full of friendly folks more than happy to help get you in the know.
We've had quite a few games already (eighteen in fact!) and this is the nineteenth. In order to keep things new and exciting, we've been switching up the formulas and trying some new variations on the old "someone gets murdered each chapter and it's up to you to figure out who did it!" formula that Murder's used over the years. Heck, with games mixing things up, some games may not even have any deaths at all! This one, however, will have some deaths. But it's a fun new system that I think a lot of folks will like! Basically, each round, everyone will participate in something called a Paradise Game. These are essentially minigames, and like minigames, they'll vary in style: trivia, puzzle-solving, even a team challenge! At the end, at least one person will lose and be eliminated. But don't worry! This game has an Afterlife System, where you will have plenty to do if you don't make it. And you'll end up back with the main group in the final chapter no matter what, so you won't miss out! In fact, you'll be able to play some Afterlife-exclusive games, so don't feel too bad about not making it to the end.
Now, there will be ways to ensure that you have more than just luck on your side. For example, those who win games or get a high will get Blue Coins, which they can use to buy hints and even immunity. You can also earn rewards from a certain character in one area per chapter, but you may find those are rather...unethical. There's also a third way, but...I'll let you guys figure that one out on your own.
Rules!
Okay, now onto the rules. Thanks for staying with me so far guys, we're almost done.

Rules!
Okay, now onto the rules. Thanks for staying with me so far guys, we're almost done.
- All standard Iwaku rules apply.
- Please be respectful to me, my co-GMs, and all other players. My co-GMs are @thatguyinthestore and @Mason Moretti and they'll be helping me out quite a bit. However, I am the head GM of this game, and I want you to come to me first in case you need something clarified. I ask that if you have an issue with something another player does, or with something one of my co-GMs says, please bring it up to me privately so I can sort things out as quickly and as smoothly as possible. We're all here to have fun, but we need to be nice to each other to make it happen.
- Remember, this is just a game. Don't get too upset if you lose or if someone beats you for a Blue Coin, because at the end of the day, this is all for fun! Besides, the Afterlife I have planned will give you plenty to do, so even if you lose, you'll still get a fun experience.
- This one is pretty important: please have a discord so that I can contact you! As I'm not Iwaku staff, I only get so many PMs before my inbox gets full. Quite a few of these games rely on me contacting you via PM, which is easier to do in Discord. It helps to also be part of the Murder Series discord server so you can stay in the know (I post in the server way more than the Murder clan here), but this isn't a requirement. Having a discord in general is, though, unless you're completely unable to get one. In that case, let me know, and I can arrange a PM on here.
- Adding onto that, please keep all OOC discussion in either the clan or the discord server. If you're gonna be off for the night, no need to bring it up in a post.
- All characters will have their powers drained, and all weapons gone. Instead, everyone will be given a FLUDD machine to use in fights. Even so, be careful not to godmod or anything. I'll keep an eye on fight sequences and make sure things stay fair.
- Please, please, please stay active! I'm going to work hard to keep this game going at a pace where you can keep up without things dragging. If needed, find someone to post with, or integrate yourself into a group. I know life comes up, especially in September with school starting for a lot of folks, so if you feel you may fall behind, or if something comes up, please let me know, and I'll accommodate you best I can. If not, you character may be killed off for inactivity. I really don't want to have to do that, so please don't be afraid to give me a heads up if you need some time away!
- Though activity is important, please make sure your posts have some significance to them. Sure, joke posts can be fun once or twice, but don't overdo it or other people don't have much fun. Also, three images/gifs per post please! That way, no one has to worry about lag or anything by a whole bunch of pictures loading.
- There will be some limits on characters, only because of the IC physical requirements of the games. Your character needs to be able to operate a FLUDD unit, as well as perform physical activities such as running, swimming, and climbing. Basically, if you couldn't see this character being playable in Mario Party, then they aren't the right fit for this game. In addition, no duos will be allowed in order to keep games fair. OCs will be allowed, but only a maximum of five.
