Power Rangers Mushroom Force Re-Shoomba'd Series Hub and Gadd Force Guidebook - by GeekyGamerZack

Click here to read the series!

Hi all, and welcome to the reboot (or should that be "re-Shoomba"?) of Power Rangers Mushroom Force! This is a series written in a similar style to my other works of fiction, including Chromaicora Adventures (which has found a new home), my novels (which I intend to publish soon-ish) and Squidkid Saga, as well as the upcoming Super Smash Warriors.

For those who aren't familiar with previous versions of this series, here's the lowdown: Bowser and his Koopa Troop bust into Gadd Science, Inc. in order to steal a powerful piece of technology known as the Gadd Force Initiative: eight Coins which grant their wielder access to amazing superpowers. The Koopa King's plans are ultimately foiled when the Star Coins' safety mechanism kicks in, scattering them to eight different worlds within the Mushroom Kingdom's borders. Gadd finds eight individuals by connecting with this very web forum, pulling them into the Mushroom Kingdom, and charges them to find each of the Star Coins and become the Mushroom Kingdom's champions: the Power Rangers Mushroom Force!

But why does the kingdom need defending from a bunch of random humans from our world? Perhaps it has to do with the disappearance of Mario and Luigi...

This thread is intended to relaunch the series, but also to serve as a hub of information relating to it. Though I'll be taking care of the writing and story development, each of you will have the opportunity to be represented in the series as a fully-fledged character, and will be mentioned by username in the credits of each episode in which you appear! The current roles for the first story arc (and the members "playing" them) are as follows:

I'll detail each of the Rangers' powers soon, so be sure to request a part if you like. Any parts that have first dibs will go to whomever requests them first if they remain unclaimed, so if you wish to reprise your role, then please let me know ASAP! Each set of roles is pre-locked, meaning that each of the 25 actors will be credited as playing three characters. Here's a brief rundown of which characters go with each role (crossed-out sets are already claimed):

Yellow: Bowser Jr. and Goombo
Red: Roy and Captain Toad
Blue: Ludwig and Chargin' Chuck
Green: Iggy and Luigi
Pink: Wendy and Peach
Aqua: Larry and Rosalina
Purple: Morton and Waluigi
Orange: Lemmy and Wario
Black♂: Boom Boom and Fawful
White: Pom Pom and Toadette
Magenta: Bowser and Purple Toad
Azure: Kamek and Gadd
Lime: Yoshi and King Boo
Bronze♂: Harry and Rosso
Silver♀: Barry and Verde
Gold: Fuego and Glace
Teal♂: Lakitu and Green Toad

Sapphire: Donkey Kong and King K. Rool
Diamond♀: Birdo and Pauline
Land♂: King Totomesu and Chief Hiyoihoi
Sea: Lord Dragonzamasu and Tatanga
Sky♀: Princess Daisy and Biokinton

Okay, I look forward to giving this series another go!

I'll be the aqua ranger again lol.

@GeekyGamerZack hi it's me @ReverseInverse go ahead and use my name and likeness.

@Aqua Cherry Blossom @Rena Ryuugu Fanboy Welcome aboard! I guess we'll need to revise your character artwork, since your avatars are different now.

Okay, I have sent invitations to @Amufungal, @Ragnarok, @Clαππαd and @bro2dragons asking if they wish to reprise their previous roles from past versions (or, in Amu-chan's case, inviting her to play a particular role). I've automatically added @PRMF_Red18x to the cast, as I doubt he would refuse to see Marioman make an appearance once again, though I have sent him an invitation anyway as a sign of formality.

As Otaku and Epona have since changed their usernames, I am currently unable to invite them to reprise their roles, and as for @KokorOtaku, I chose not to invite him as I feel that he may decline the offer for personal reasons, and I don't want to be pushy or insensitive; having said that, he is still welcome to reprise his previous role if he chooses.

As for the other main roles (the Brown, Grey and Olive Bowser Rangers, as well as the Indigo Ranger and two additional Bowser Rangers), they are all currently unclaimed and available, so grab them while you have the chance!

@GeekyGamerZack I share this account with my twin sister are there any roles that would work for twins?

I call dibs on Gadd Force Indigo.

Gadd Force Purple is mine!

I call dibs on Silver, but Megatron will only approve of being called Bowser Force Steel while evil is that okay with you son @GeekyGamerZack?

@Talesfanatic I'd definitely suggest the Bronze and Silver Rangers (Bronze for you, Silver for your sister), as long as you don't mind being under Bowser's control for a bit at first.

@Kain Of course. Glad to have you on board!

@Ragnarok Done.

@Megatron2000 In that case, I'd suggest you take one of the extra Bowser Ranger roles. You'll also be credited as playing two extra characters depending on whether you opt for A or B:

Bowser Force Extra A: Mouser and Wart

Bowser Force Extra B: Donkey Kong and King K. Rool

In either case, welcome aboard!

@Megatron2000 Forgot to mention that the Black Ranger turns evil during an early story arc, but does eventually turn good again. He could call himself "Shadow Force Steel" or something during that tenure. You'd also be credited as playing the characters Boom Boom and Fawful.

I've decided to invite @unrealgamergirl to "play" the role of the Pink Ranger in the series. I'd actually intended to invite her to be in it since I planned to do the reboot, so why not include her in the first season? @Amufungal is still welcome to have a character as well, and there are plenty of roles available for her (and the rest of you) to choose from. But be sure to request a part soon, as slots are being filled faster than a Chargin' Chuck racing toward a certain red-capped plumber!

@geekygamerzach I accept

@unrealgamergirl Awesome! And just in time, too!

EDIT: Forgot to mention about your credited parts. I was thinking your character could be called Gigi (short for the "gamergirl" part of your username). You'll also be credited as the Koopaling Wendy and Princess Peach.

@geekygamerzack sounds good to me :3

Update time! I've begun working on artwork for new characters Gigi (@unrealgamergirl) and Rex (@KingreX32), as well as revised artwork for Zack (@GeekyGamerZack) and Sakura (@Aqua Cherry Blossom) to match their new looks. Many of the Ranger suits are also being redone. Look forward to the new character art soon-ish.

--Zack--

@ryuragnas has joined the cast as Roximus, who is set to become Gadd Force Magenta. He is also credited as the characters Bowser and Purple Toad. Welcome aboard, buddy!

Okay, we still need a male member to play Gadd Force Black (as well as Boom Boom and Fawful), and a female member to play Gadd Force White (plus Pom Pom and Toadette). If @Megatron2000 and @Clαππαd decline their invitations, or they don't respond soon, then those roles are up for grabs, so be sure to show interest if you want to play one of them!

--Zack--

Okay, it's time to unveil artwork of the eight starting Rangers! I hope you enjoy!


Row 1: Reanfan (Gadd Force Yellow), Marioman (Gadd Force Red) and Zack* (Gadd Force Blue)


Row 2: Sakura* (Gadd Force Aqua), Gigi (Gadd Force Pink) and Inverse (Gadd Force Orange)


Row 3: Ragna (Gadd Force Purple) and Dash* (Gadd Force Green)

*These characters have revised artwork, to match their new personae

And now for a description of the Rangers' human forms and how each of them has merged with their avatar(s):

Reanfan: The only Ranger who is pretty much unmerged with his avatar's physical appearance, though he has gained some skills and personality traits from Rean Schwarzer, including skilled combat prowess even when not morphed.

Marioman: His colour scheme is based on his avatar's colour, and his hat is similar to Mario's, plus he now has amazing jumping abilities even when not morphed; ironically, a number of people (including pretty much the entire Koopa Troop) believe he actually IS Mario.

Zack: Perhaps one of the more drastic merges, as his personality has pretty much become Zed Starmute's, right down to a bizarre case of "Zacknesia", though he has also gained Zed's trademark hairstyle and mastery of basic magic even when not morphed; in a sense, the other side of the coin compared to Reanfan

Sakura: Pretty much identical to her appearance in the previous attempt, but with cat ears and stylised whiskers added; breaks the fourth wall early on by stating that her human form "seems to be nothing but a lazy rehash lol", though possesses skills akin to the Super Bell power-up even when not morphed.

Gigi: Basically herself in Toadette cosplay, to the point that some people mistakenly refer to her as "Peachette" (made all the more coincidental by the fact that @unrealgamergirl is credited as playing both Gigi and Princess Peach, but not Toadette herself); her centrepiece is a pink beanie that resembles Toadette's cap, and she is able to summon the Toad Brigade anytime for assistance.

Inverse: Wears a tee with a picture of a ? Block on it, which ironically refers to the fact that @GeekyGamerZack didn't realise that @Rena Ryuugu Fanboy was ReverseInverse until it was pointed out to him during sign-up (made even more ironic by the fact that @GeekyGamerZack's character, Zack, doesn't remember any of the other Rangers, including Inverse); he is able to find hidden blocks and secrets even when not morphed.

Ragna: Unlike the other Rangers, merged with his artwork from the previous attempt instead of his avatar, and thus possesses a precognitive ability that allows him to recall what happens in each episode even when not morphed; this means he is usually the first to know when the Koopas cause trouble.

Dash: Basically became a perfect fusion of himself and his avatar, with his trademark green eyes and red shoes, as well as his face on his t-shirt; he now possesses amazing speed and agility, as well as a love of chilli dogs, but now avoids water at all costs.

There's one very important role that needs to be filled very soon, and that is Gadd Force White, formerly played by @Clαππαd. Here's some info on this character:

Arriving in the Mushroom Kingdom at the same time as the core eight Rangers and Gamergy, this girl opts to serve as an assistant to the team rather than become a Ranger herself. But when Zack finds himself in a dangerous situation, she agrees to use the prototype White Star Coin to "heal" him, becoming Gadd Force White. Her unmorphed ability will depend on the avatar of the member credited as playing her, but her power when morphed is restoration, being able to restore the powers of her teammates when worn out, making them invulnerable for a time.

If anyone agrees to have their likeness used for Gadd Force White, then please post your interest right here. We can't do it without you!

@Clαππαd is reprising her role as Clannad, Gadd Force White! Now all we need is someone to play Gadd Force Black and we have the full lineup of Rangers for season one! Here's the deets you need to know about the Black Ranger:

After Clannad restores Zack to normal, the Black Star Coin becomes vulnerable, and Bowser finds out that he is able to claim it before it reboots. Just before the Koopa King can take it for himself, however, another member of WiiWareWave taps into its power, becoming Gadd Force Black, who is able to transform into metal when morphed, and is surprisingly resilient when not morphed.

A glitch in the coin's software inadvertently leads to the Black Ranger turning evil before season two starts, and he refers to himself as Shadow Force Steel during this timeframe, siding with Bowser and becoming his highest-ranking general, until the Rangers eventually free him from Bowser's control.

Unfortunately, the Koopalings' research of the Black Star Coin leads to them replicating the technology, creating a trio of "Bowser Force" Rangers, who are later joined by two additional allies, each one as strong as three Gadd Force Rangers. Feeling partly responsible, the Black Ranger decides to find a way to free the Bowser Force, and hopefully bring them back to the side of good, like his friends did for him.

@Megatron2000 is invited to take on the mantle of Gadd Force Black, as the way he described how he wants his character to be portrayed matches up perfectly with the wielder of the Black Star Coin. The choice is entirely up to him, however.

I'll play Gadd Force Ruby.

@Nintendobuddy64 Welcome aboard!

The remaining three Ranger roles are now up for grabs! I won't spoil too much about them, but I will say that they serve Tatanga, the "big bad" from Super Mario Land. Along with the other eight unclaimed roles, that's ELEVEN pairs of boots that need filling. Don't miss out on your chance to be credited!

I noticed a few errors with the artwork for Zack, so here is the revised version:

I can't stress enough the importance of requesting a role. I won't use anyone's name or likeness without their permission, so if you wish to be credited, then please request a part. I can't do this series without the support of you wonderful readers!

--Zack--

Just a quick update. I've been working on content behind the scenes, most notably new artwork, including a brand-new, modern-ish look for the Rangers' Morphers that's sure to bring "joy".
