Once upon a time there was a book, a rare and valuable book sought by many. This was weird because it turns out the book had poor reviews. Most said it started out with an okay plot, but it quickly devolved into boring descriptions with no characters or setting. But, those who saw it for what it was worth knew its true value, for this book revealed a way to create a new game system, not console, not handheld... but both.
It could Switch between them.
"Doesn't seem that great," said.

paced around his basement office, pipes leaking above onto a computer older than he was. The annual company showcase was happening soon, and as usual everyone had some so-wonderful microgames lined up, and as usual Waluigi had nothing. Wario was eager enough to use Waluigi's grace and skill as a tennis partner, but he wouldn't even give him a chance at Warioware, Inc. He was still the lowest employee, stuck in the basement. He didn't think half the employees even knew who he was!

This year would be different, though. This year he had a way to win. And when he did, he would be the the top employee at Warioware, Inc.
spread out the map he'd gotten on a desk. The guy who gave him it--as tall as he was, though much more muscular--said it would lead him to a brand-new gaming system that would Switch the way everyone plays.
A weird way to put it, but whatever. It was what he needed. He would find this new system, and then, Waluigi would have a game on the Switch!

It would be a treacherous journey. The map indicated to that he would have to travel through frigid mountains, wild jungles, inky cities, and he was already tried from just thinking about it so he went to the beach instead.
The end!
"No, that's not the end!" Waluigi said. "I'll just go tomorrow and--wait." He checked his pockets and looked around. The map was missing! Some crab was taking it away!
"Hey, get back here you crab!" Waluigi chased after it. "Don't be shellfish!"

Waluigi peered from behind a rock. The crab that stole his map brought it to a bigger crab in a cave.
"Excellent! With this map Wart can return on the Switch!"
"Wait, Wart?" Waluigi said. "Nobody cares about him. K. Rool would make more sense, people want him in Smash."
Hey, good point. Okay, a Kremling stole the map instead of a crab, and it's K. Rool instead of Clawgrip.
"But why would they be on the beach?"
Shut up, Waluigi. You're in a barrel.
"Wha-" A Kremling stuffed Waluigi in a barrel.
