Plot
Spoilers. Read ahead at own risk.
What has been seen of Terror of the Trolls involves Xzelion storming into a bizarre Airship/castle known as Peachycakes's Flying Fortress, where he encounters Peachycakes herself. The two then engage in a duel, which Peachycakes seems to ultimately win, knocking Xzelion into a pool of searing lava with her Ground Pound maneuver. However, after she does so, she leaves the room in the fortress, allowing Xzelion to safely come out of the lava; it is said that it will never be revealed exactly how he survived. Though his mission in the Flying Fortress seemed to be far from over at the time, Xzelion decided it was best to jump out of the place, ending Issue One of the comic. As Issue Two opens with a brief flashback sequence, Xzelion leaps out of the Flying Fortress, landing in a "discrete MarioWiki location". Accessing one of Porplemontage's offices (later called "Steve's Domain" conjecturally) from the area, Xzelion reports his failure to Steve, who gruffly tells him to "go home". Following this order, Xzelion ran away from the office, popping up in front of his house at Leet Town in Issue Three. After requesting that someone let him in, his brother Paper Luigi DS appeared, very surprised that Xzelion, "the sysop", would ever show himself at the household. This confused Xzelion, who was soon mumblingly told that, after he left (apparently three years before the setting of Terror of the Trolls) to do sysop work in other parts of the MarioWiki, his brothers had had a terrible time maintaining the house in his absence and his family had soon fallen to ruin. As such unspeakable horror had been done at Xzelion's hands, his brothers disowned him; PLDS ended up leaving his brother to lie on the doorstep. It is unknown what will happen afterward, but YellowYoshi398 has stated that the first few issues of Terror of the Trolls will have little meaning to the overall plot of the comic, simply setting up various things such as character development.
Plot Style
The storytelling style of Terror of the Trolls will be largely serious, as indicated by the fierce battle and near-death seen in Issue One. However, even the first issue indicates a lightheartedness that will be continued throughout the comic with Peachycakes stating that she had destroyed Xzelion "just in time for 60 Minutes". Several jokes such as these will be continued throughout the span of the comic, which will indeed include a large amount of humor and in-jokes even within its destruction and darkness.
Visual Style
The sprites of the many Users seen in this comic will actually be rather mixed in style; YellowYoshi398 plans to use the sprites most preferred by their User owners. Most of the sprites will therefore be in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga style (for most human Users) or Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island style (for Yoshis), though there will be several other sprite styles. Almost all backgrounds and tiles will be taken from Super Mario World and the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3.
