Carnival lights smear the night sky in garish neon swirls, the air thick with the scent of powdered sugar and diesel. Laughter and shrieking ride music twist into a single chaotic soundtrack. Rides groan on their axes; the colossal big top glows like a paper lantern. Mario, fueled by pure impulse, hauls a protesting Luigi toward the fried food stalls. Nearby, Tari and Meggy whoop in triumph at a duck-shooting game. Under a shower of sparkling fireworks, SMG4 offers a sticky puff of cotton candy to SMG3, who accepts it with a familiar, brooding scowl. The scene is perfect, hilarious—and yet, a thread of unease pulls taut. Nothing could possibly go wrong tonight... right, you?
