I had an idea for a case Apollo could take that was originally loosely based on Super Mario Sunshine (hence the titular cleanup). However, in the three days that I have spent coming up with ideas for it, it has become less and less Sunshine-esque and is now just a case featuring Mario universe-esque characters. I have a lot of plot holes to fill, and have only come up with the basics of the case. I also need someone who could make the sprites for it. Now, on with the details!

The defendent is a man named "Beaux Zere," one that any Mario fan should get. The victim is Mario Mario, drowned in a toilet. The actual culprit - spoiler alert - is none other than the victims brother, Louie G. Mario. One of the winesses is Mario's girlfriend, Mushroom Scapelli (only viewers of the Super Mario Bros movie would get that one), who is in fact not a witness at all until the police have come and gone. We have all seen the cases where Phoenix/Apollo proves someone's death before the time the autopsy report says, but in this one, the victim dies after the police show up. Allow me to explain in the next paragraph.

here is a timeline:


Apollo proceeds to investigate and finds a rather short and suspicious person named Beaux Zere Jr. Jr. is also called to court as a witness eventually, as he witnesses the crime through a window, becoming a witness for the same perverted reasons as the panty snatcher, whose name I cannot remember for some reason.

As I said, there are many more gaps to fill, and suggestions and ideas (as well as a new name) are greatly appreciated.
