Season 24, Week 4
Princess Toadstool
(Super Mario RPG)
 
Middle hasn't been able to argue with a frying pan to the face, and it doesn't seem like that's going to change! The Princess of Mushroom Kingdom is ready to cook up some punishment this week, all on the way to a championship. The Metal Demon Alhazad and the Princess have quite a bit in common - both are very reliant on putting foes to sleep, and both are immune to said trick. Thus, this battle turns into a match of pure slugging, and with the Princess's healing, a couple frying pans to the face should be easily available to the proud portabella princess.

The mad Metal Demon has yet to lose a Middle match, and a simple princess has little chance of changing this. Toadstool's healing may have gotten her past Bowser and Ptolomea, but Alhazad is a more devious opponent. After a casting of Slow Down, the speed advantage will be his, and then it's just a simple matter of overwhelming the princess with his powerful magic attacks. One who called herself a princess once stood against Alhazad before, and she stood as little chance as the one who dares to face the most deadly Metal Demon of them all.

For all that Alhazad might be a demon and a cunning one at that, she does have a weakness: Princesses. I mean, let's look at her history. She's been defeated by Cecilia in Wild ARMS and in the DL, she lost to an opponent who ALSO happens to be a princess. Therefore, Toadstool, being a female member of the royal family, defeats the magic demon for all that is good and holy to keep this endearing tradition to continue.

That and faster characters with a decent amount of Magic Defense and healing smashes through Alhazad's tricks. You know, whichever one works for you.
