Dusk

Dusk is an antihero from the Mark series of video games. He is a male toxic accident.

Normal outfit
He wears black mittens, shirt, pants, and socks. However, he has red shoes with orange stripes, and the base of his shoes are blue. One special feature is his shoes, which have propellers on the back for moving fast in the water, and the bottom of his shoes, which allow him to use anti-gravity by turning into circles that light up and making him hover. He also has orange eyes. He appears to be sixteen years old, although he is immortal.

Personality
He is basically the opposite of Mark. He is a loner, and often stays away from others.

In game
His first appearance was in Mark 1.0. He appears in an opening cutscene. He comes out of a block of ice that Chrome melted. He tells Chrome about himself and decides to help Chrome on his quest to take over Planet Acu. He then heads into Chrome's secret lair in space: The Chrome Base. Inside is Dusk's hub. Later in the game, he will meet Twine. Chrome lets her aboard, but Dusk is suspicious of her. At first, Twine thinks that Dusk is "that spiky-haired guy", until she finally hears him talk. He later appears in Chaos City where he first meets Mark. He challenges Mark to a race. He later appears in Tree Haven where he meets Mark again. He fights Mark in a tough battle that ends up destroying the general area. He later escapes with Twine and Chrome. Later, he discovers that there are intruders in the base. He assumes that it is Mark. He goes and finds Rose. She tells him that Chrome is tricking him into working for him. He then turns on her side and goes into Chrome's lair. However, Robo Dragon appears and Dusk tries to fight it. It is to powerful. Mark wonders why Dusk is helping them and Dusk explains. He decides to help Dusk fight. Then, the dragon brakes out into space. Dusk and Mark grab onto his tail. They end up floating in space. They find it nearly impossible to fight him. However, Frankie sends out the Golden Marshmallow and the fake that he made earlier. They both eat one. They turn into their Hyper Forms. They almost defeat the Robo Dragon when it grabs Dusk. Dusk struggles to break free from it's grip. Suddenly, a red glow appears in his hand. At this time, Mark uses his Energy Blast and the red glow explodes, making the dragon explode. Mark falls to the earth. Then, the F-Mobile catches him. They land back on the base. Rose asks what happened to Dusk. Then, Mark just sighs. They then walk out of the Space Base.

He appears in Mark Unleashed next. He wakes up in the Underworld. He wonders who and where he is. He then meets Chrome. Chrome tells him that he was dead (atlthough he actually wasn't). He asks how he can return alive and Chrome tells him that he needs to kill a living lifeform that was in the Underworld and then swallow their soul. He then sets out to kill one. He meets Shade and Cosmo. He realizes that Shade is alive. Next time, he tries to kill him. He finds Mark. Mark gasps and wonders how he got there. Dusk says that he didn't know. He realizes that Mark is alive too. He thinks that Mark looks strangely familiar. Next time, he meets Twine and Colby. He agrees to team up with them and tells them about Shade. Twine agrees. Colby thinks that it is a bad idea. Dusk tries to resist not to kill Colby, as he has a strange attraction to him (although Twine is'nt dead either). He then meets the cast again and succeeds to kill Shade. He swallows the life and soon realizes that he was already alive. Mark sheds a single tear and Cosmo cries. Mark then brings out the Golden Marshmallow. However, the Golden Marshmallow represents life and the blast makes them return back to Acu up above.

His second main apearance is SSM256. In this game, you must race him (similarly to B the Bee from Mark 0.5, Speedy in Mark Unleashed, King Geist and the penguins (the same game) ) to get to an Energy Star. However, unlike the other racers, he plays a more prominent role. The first time you see him is in a cutscene where the Comet Elyte tells Mark about the comets. When he talks about the Dark Comet, a shadowy figure of Dusk is shown. The next appearance is another cutscene. This time, Shadow appears right in front of Mark in the Spike Hedge Galaxy in the mission "Shadowy Debut". Mark is suprised to see his returning rival. Mark asks how Dusk came to be. Dusk explains that he was created by Chrome. We then see the Base Planet in the Wardroid. The Screwdos are making something with the power of an Energy Star. The project then falls over and glass is shattered. We see a single glove sink into the water. A few seconds later, we see Dusk climb out of the vat. He is sent into a pod by the professor who thinks that it is a regular human. he is frozen in the pod. He then flies to Earth. Two years later (when the story takes place), Chrome has finds Dusk and unfreezes him. Dusk tells Chrome. Chrome orders Dusk to find some of the Energy Stars and bring them back to him. Dusk then takes one of the Golden Pearls that Chrome has and uses it to create an small spaceship,and flies into outer space. He claims that he flew into outer space to find them, and after two days,he brang three of them back. However, most of the people in the Boomerang Kingdom were gone. (Most of them had went into outer space already.) Dusk realizes that Chrome had thought that he had took to long, so then he curses Chrome and goes to the Marshmallow Kingdom. He discovers what had happened and he goes into outer space to destroy all of the Energy Stars so that Chrome will never be able to take over the universe and so that nobody will ever discover the power that they hold. However, due to his chemicals, he can only follow the Dark Comet, which limits his accesibility. After the cutscene, the player must race Dusk to the Energy Star. You must do this in six missions: 1. Planet Spike Hedge - Shadowy Debut 2. Wardroid - Dusk in the War 3. Planet Freezerburn - Frosty Dusk Race 4. Planet Sea Ring - Tropical Dusk Race 5. Planet Deserted Desert - Dusty Dusk Race 6. Planet Parallel Spike - Shadowy Finale In the last race, after winning, Dusk will ask why he never got the star. Mark will ask why he is helping Chrome. However, Dusk will remind Mark that he was trying to prevent something horrible from happening (which plays a part in the end). Then, Mark will say that he wishes that he could give Dusk the star, but he had to help Nova to make the Star Station working again. Dusk will then get into his spaceship and fly into the sky. Mark then brings the star back to the Star Station.

When Mark gets 63 stars, he will be able to fly to the Far Side of the Universe to face Chrome. After this cutscene, we will see a cutscene of Dusk seeing the Master Star in this galaxy, and also the Dark Comet flies there. In one of the last cutscenes, he is seen getting out of his pod and attempting to find the star. However, after about 10 seconds, Mark and Rose will land on the same planet, except Dusk is on the part just above them. He also sees Mercury, and Mercury tells Mark that he lied about saving the universe, and with the Golden Pearl that he has, he is about to kill Mark, but the sun in the middle of the galaxy grows into a massive star, with enough gravity to start sucking everything in. Mercury then starts getting sucked into the star, as do Mark and Rose. Dusk gets into his spaceship and struggles to fly away from the huge force, only for it to explode. However, Dusk, as immortal, is seen falling into the star. Later, he sees Mark. He then watches as all of the Elytes die. He is then forced back and forth until it explodes, time goes back to when the celebration started, and Dusk flies through space unharmed. (He would have lived anyhow, but the massive star power protected all heroes and villains alike.) He is later seen in the second next cutscene celebrating the birth of the universe. Dusk asks what happens to Frankie, and Frankie replies that he doesn't remember.

His next appearance was Mark Kart X. This is also his first playable appearance. He is unlockable after winning the Hard Leaf Cup. His emblem is his face, and his kart will often turn black with red stripes. He is a medium class character.

His next appearance was Mark Sports 5. His stats are: Skill - 8/10 Speed - 5/10 Stamina - 7/10

He next appeared in his own titular game, Dusk. He is the main character. EVIL

The story begins on a rainy night in the Marshmallow Land. Dusk is walking when he sees something flashing in the sky. It lands in front of him. It appears to be a big black spaceship. It then opens up and a person in a black suit with black shoes and black pants walks out. He claims that he is needing of Dusk's help. Dusk asks what he needs. The man says his name is Spig and that he is searching for Energy Stars. Dusk refuses, but Spig says he needs to in order for the Acu's (the planet) survival. He says that aliens plan to invade the Acu and that Dusk is the only one who can possibly defeat them, but he needs the Energy Stars to have enough power and also to power the ship. Then, Mark and Frankie appear behind Dusk. They say that they have been watching outside of the Sports Store that they were in. They then ask Spig if he is an alien. He then explains why he needs Dusk. Then, Dusk excepts and boards the ship. They then attempt to fly to the alien's base, however after a few minutes, they fall and crash into a junkyard. Dusk then excepts to help Spig. There are 4 Lands: Downtown Marshmallow, Tropic Resort, Boomerang Base and finally, Alien Base. After collecting 10 Energy Stars, the player will find Mark, Frankie, Rose and Marshie in the Junk Yard. They say that they don't trust Spig, and they ask Dusk to end the plan. However, Dusk says that they are all idiots and that the plan is too far ahead. After collecting 60 Energy Stars, the ship will fly into outer space. Mark and co. also sneak onto the ship. They then head to Alien Base. The final mission is the final boss fight. There are three endings. ENDING ONE The boss is Alex. After defeating him, Spig says that he plans to take over the universe, and asks Dusk to join him. Dusk realizes that Mark and co. were right. He then battles Spig. After the battle, Dusk sets a bomb in the base and takes all of the Energy Stars. He uses them to fly back to Earth. He also kills Mark and co. ENDING TWO The boss is Chrome. He says that he defeated Alex already and that he planned to take over the universe (again). After facing him, the player fights Spig. However, at the end, Dusk uses the stars to destroy the entire dimension, and then he flies to the second dimension. ENDING THREE The boss is Mark. He says that he already defeated Alex and that he begs Dusk to return to good. After facing him, he asks Dusk why he had to help Spig. Then, Spig comes. The player faces him again. Mark, still alive, again asks Dusk why he did it. Dusk then says he did it for the sake of the world, but then he pities Chrome and Spig for never being smart or powerful. He then realizes that he was immortal and one of the most powerful beings in the universe. He then takes over the universe himself.

There are three endings. ENDING ONE The boss is Alex. Dusk finds Mark in the base and Mark helps Dusk with the mission. After facing Alex, the pair face Chrome. After the battle, they use the stars to destroy the base. This also kills Chrome. ENDING TWO The boss is Chrome. He says the same thing. After that, Dusk faces Spig. This time, at the end, Dusk lets Spig live. ENDING THREE The boss is Spig. At the end, Alex tells Dusk his plan. However, Mark, Frankie, Rose, Marshie and Chrome show up. Alex says instead of taking over Acu, he was going to blow it up to get revenge on the world. He asks Dusk if he wants to do it. Mark then tells Dusk that he had no reason to get revenge on the world. Dusk thinks about this and then he fights Alex. At the end, Dusk flies out of the base. For some reason, this game never applies with the other games. Revolution say that it takes place just a few weeks after time was restored in SSMM256.

He appears in Revolution Brawl X. He is unlocked after completing 20 of the 36 fights in Adventure Mode.

He next appeared in SSM256 2. This is his second appearance in the Mega Mark series and the overall 7th appearance in a Mark game (not counting Revolution Brawl X.) He appears in the Lavafreeze Galaxy in the mission "Volcanic Stars". Mark will find Dusk and be suprised. (this means that Mark has somehow met Dusk even though the events of SSM256 never happened.) Shadow then explains that he wants to help Mark save the universe. Mark asks why and Dusk tells him that "there's no way" he's going to be Chrome's slave. He then gives Mark the star as they fly out of the galaxy. Dusk will then reside on Mark Station. In the cutscene where Mark blasts to the final galaxy, the residents on Mark Station will see a sort of rocket (which is actually the Star Station on SSM256) struggling to get away from the force of the galaxy. Dusk will claim that the ship looks familiar. Later, after Mark defeats Chrome, Dusk will be seen on Mark Station cheering for him. If the player gets all 123 stars as both Mark and Frankie (Frankie is unlocked after you get 90 stars as Mark, who is the only playable character at the start of the game.), you will unlock Dusk and as a result, an alternate story.

He appears in Mark: Time helping Mark and Retro Mark. He can race Mark. He cheers for Mark on the Final Boss fight.

Dusk's next appearance is in Mark Kart Swan. This time, he is unlocked after doing the Hard Crazy Stick Cup.

His next appearance is Mark New Adventure. In the first encounter, he says that he was collecting the Golden Pearls and the Golden Marshmallow. He only appears in the Second Demension where Frankie is playable. He is raced in SD 1-5, SD 2-7, SD 4-2, SD 7-7, and SD 8-5.

Dusk's latest appearance is Mark Sports Swan. He keeps the same stats as the previous Mark Sports title.

He is rumored to appear again in Mark New Quest, although it hasn't been confirmed. He is also going to appear in Mark Racing Plus and Mark Sports Plus.
