It was a lovely morning in the forest that the Mario Bros. called their home. The dew settled gently on the grass as bright yellow sun raised itself once again over the Mushroom Kingdom. The small yellow house wasn't much, but it was more than enough for its humble inhabitants.
Mario yawned and scratched at his slightly pudgy belly through his blue overalls and red shirt as he drank his Bean-Bean coffee to help jump start the morning. His hasn't found the time to comb his messy auburn hair yet, but his dark black moustache remained as perfect as ever as he continued reading yesterday's newspaper.
"Mail call!" cried a cheery voice from outside Mario's front door.
"Don't worry bro, I'll get it" Mario's younger brother, Luigi, said as he rose from his seat across the table from Mario. The family resemblance was uncanny, as the two looked almost exactly alike, but Luigi was a bit taller and thinner, and wearing a green shirt instead of a red one.
"Thanks, I appreciate it" Mario said, also taking a moment to add a little extra sugar to his coffee. He knew it was a bit indulgent, but his long vacation was finally coming to an end, and he figured that a few extra calories wouldn't matter in the long run.
When Luigi returned he brought with him not only the day's paper, but also a letter enclosed in an expensive ornamental envelope.
"Hey Mario, we got a letter from Peach!" Luigi proclaimed joyously.
Mario immediately shot up at the news, and stopped adding sugar to his drink. "Really?" he said. "What does it say?"
"I'll read it to you, okay?" Luigi said as he opened the letter. "Alright let's see: 'I'm throwing a party at the castle today! Mario and Luigi, I would be honored if you both could attend. Many guests from distant towns are hoping to meet you. There will be tasty sweets, and all kinds of entertainment! I hope to see you here soon! Sincerely, Peach'".
"A party? Sounds great!" exclaimed Luigi. "I'm up for it if you are".
Mario nodded in agreement, and they each put on their respective hats before heading out; a red cap with an 'M' on the front for Mario, and a green hat with an 'L' on the front for Luigi. Their house was a long way from civilization, but the Mario Bros. had away around that little issue in the form of a large green pipe sitting in their front yard.
"Come on bro, there's nothing to be afraid of" Mario said encouragingly to his brother as he stood on the cusp on the pipe.
"I know, I know" Luigi said nervously, climbing into the pipe behind Mario. A second later, and the two were flushed through the bowels of the earth, as if by magic, and reappeared but an instant later in the bustling city of Toad Town.
The people around them seemed human at first, but on closer inspection they were anything but. What appeared to be white hats adorned with polka-dots on their heads were actually mushroom caps, and were part of their bodies. The walking fungus didn't even faze Mario though, as he instead focused on helping his beleaguered brother out of the warp pipe behind them.
"Augh, we've been here for ten years, and I'm still not used to that" Luigi said, trying to keep his lunch down.
Mario just laughed and gave Luigi a hearty pat on the back before they continued on through the town. Along the way they passed by quaint little item shops, bright green grass, well-kept shrubs, and many friendly citizens who were all more than happy to take a moment out of their day to wave at the resident heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. Even if it was a bit too picturesque, Toad Town's soft, friendly charm had really grown on Mario over the years.
It didn't take the brothers long before they reached the gates of the royal palace, where the Toad guards didn't' even look twice before letting the two on through. On the other side was the famous Toadstool Castle; it was made from white bricks adorned with a red shingled roof, and had many extravagant stained glass windows. It had few towers and battlements as well, but it was clear that the designers of the fortress did not intend it to fight off an attack, which reflected the current ruler quite well.
Inside the party was already well underway, even though it was still relatively early in the morning. Most of guests were Toads, but a fair number of them were other races as well. He saw women with mice ears who wore black masks, women in giant turtle shells, women with blue skin wrapped in scarves, and several other exotic species. In fact, most of the non-Toad guests were women, but that was hardly a surprise to either of the brothers.
The room itself was lavishly arranged; sky blue walls, red carpeting lay over the white and black tiled floor and vases full of white flowers were placed in fashionable locations. Lovely classical music could be heard playing in the background as all the guests chatted amongst themselves.
"Wow, look at all these people" Luigi said as he gazed upon the castle foyer. "I wonder what the occasion is".
"Oh, you know Peach; to them, there is never a bad time to party" said Mario, and it was true. This was probably the third party at the castle this month.
"Well, I'm going to go mingle. See you later, bro" Luigi said and, with that, the two parted ways.
While Luigi stayed and chatted with some Toad women on the first floor, Mario headed up the red carpeted stairs in front of him to the second floor. The second floor looked a lot like the first, except there were tables serving various sweets to the hungry visitors.
"I wonder if Peach baked that" as he passed by a particularly delicious looking chocolate cake. He didn't stop to have any, though, and continued on towards the third floor and the real reason he came to the castle.
Along the way he bumped into Toadsworth, Peach's steward. His browning mushroom cap, wrinkly face, grey moustache, and rickety cane made him look older than the dirt the castle stood on, but even he had a spring in his step today.
"Salutations, Master Mario" he said when he spotted the plumber. "Peach is waiting for you upstairs".
"Thank you, Toadsworth" said Mario.
After a few more flights of stairs, Mario finally made it to the throne room to see who he had been waiting all this time to see; Prince Peach Toadstool, ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, who was busy relaxing on his throne. He wore a bright pink vest with a long pink overcoat, white pants, pink boots, a white cravat that was held in place by a blue pendant, and, of course, a golden crown that sat on his head and complimented his short blond hair and deep blue eyes nicely. As soon as he saw Mario, the Prince got up out of his chair and walked over to him.
"Oh, Mario!" he greeted. "You came to the party to see me! You're so sweet! Thank you!"
"Aw, you know I'd do anything for you, don't you?" Mario responded, blushing slightly. "What are you doing away from the party, though?"
"I was just resting a bit" Peach explained. "It gets tiring, greeting all those guests out there! Nobody will bother us here. Shall we relax and chat, just the two of us?"
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" asked Mario.
"I know it must be getting a bit old for you but…" Peach said, trailing off a bit and glancing away. "…could you please tell me about home again?"
Before Mario could say anything, however, the ground suddenly shook violently. The tremors were so strong that they couldn't stand up anymore, so Mario thrust himself over Peach to try and protect the Prince from any falling debris. Peach yelled something at Mario, but the earthquake was too loud for him to make it out.
A few minutes later and it finally ended, allowing the two men to get their bearings again.
"Oh! Are you alright Mario?" Peach asked, concerned. "What in the world was that?"
"I don't know" said Mario. "Wait, did it get darker all of a sudden?"
"Oh my! Look, Mario!" Peach said, pointing to a large window nearby. "It's still daytime isn't it? But I can see stars outside!"
Mario didn't have long to look, though, before a familiar enemy suddenly burst through the window on her flying Koopa Clown Car; Queen Bowsa.
Despite her incredibly silly mode of transportation, the Queen of All Koopas was still exceedingly intimidating. She was over eight feet tall with small horns coming out of her head, piercing crimson eyes, long red hair that flowed like fire, and muscles that looked like, and could, bend iron with ease. Around her wrists she wore spiked black shackles that highlighted the sharp claws on the ender of her fingers, and her yellow dress, with a skirt that came down to around her knees, shined with magical enhancements. Her breasts were tight against her body from exercise, but were still massive compared to most women Mario knew. On her back was a giant spiked turtle shell that shown a dark green; the color of the Koopa royal family.
"Gwahaha!" Bowsa laughed as she jumped down from her car. "Long time no see, Prince Peach".
"Bowsa!" Peach screamed in fear. "But this can't be! It was you who made the ground shake just now wasn't it! Whatever did you do?"
"Gwahaha!" Bowsa bellowed. "Yeah, that was me. I've lifted your castle up into the sky! It's sitting on my castle now! Weren't expecting that, huh?"
"What? How is that even possible?" asked Peach.
"It wasn't easy, it and took months to prepare, but the look on your face alone makes it worth it!" laughed Queen Bowsa. "This castle's under my control now, my dear. Now you will obey ME!"
She moved in to take the Prince, but Mario stepped in between them, making it clear he wasn't going down without a fight.
"Huh!? What? It's…Mario! What a shock!" Bowsa said sarcastically. "Ha! Not really! I expected you to turn up, right on cue. You're just as annoying as ever. Unfortunately for you, there's nothing you can do this time".
Even though he was busy cowering behind Mario, Peach couldn't help but laugh at what his would-be kidnapper just said. "Haven't you learned your lesson by now, Bowsa? You can never defeat Mario! Why don't you give up already?"
Bowsa grimaced at the mention of her many past failures, but tried her best to maintain her veneer of bravado. "True, true, I have had my problems in the past….but this time is different! This time I'm gonna win! Alright, tough guy, let's go!"
Mario was not in the mood to trade one-liners, so he dove directly into the fight. Even though Queen Bowsa was over twice the plumber's weight, Mario was much quicker, and was able to dodge the Koopa's attacks with ease. This was made even easier by the fact that Bowsa was using the exact same moves she used the last time they fought, allowing him to run circles around the giant woman, landing quick jabs and blows whenever he could. The fight was blatantly one-sided, but you wouldn't be able to tell by Bowsa's calm expression as she took every punch he dealt out.
"Good old Mario…always fighting. You're a thorn in my side" Bowsa said as she blocked yet another one of the human's punches. "But today, your pathetic little attacks won't beat me!"
Bowsa reached behind her back and into her turtle shell, pulling out a mysterious glowing object. It was a brown wand with green gem in the hilt and golden yellow star on the end. To Mario it looked like a children's' toy, but Peach was able to recognize it instantly.
"Take a look at this!" she shouted, holding it up above her head. "Look what I stole from Star Haven! It's-"
"The Star Rod!" interrupted a terrified Peach. "Mario, we need to leave, now!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I've got this" Mario said, charging forward towards Bowsa once more. But, when he landed his next punch, it felt like he was hitting a brick wall. "Ah!" he cried out in pain.
"Gwahaha! You should have quit while you were ahead, fatboy" mocked Boswa. "This fine piece of work has the power to grant any wish in the whole wide world! And when I use the Star Rod to increase my strength, even you can't beat me, Mario!"
"We'll see about that" Mario said, resuming his attack. He tried kicking her, punching her, and jumping on her, but he was doing absolutely no damage. If anything, Queen Bowsa was getting stronger and stronger the longer she held the Star Rod.
"Gwahaha! Is that all you've got? How sad!" Queen Bowsa said patronizingly. "You'd best take some vitamins, 'cause that didn't hurt at all!"
"Peach, you have to get out of here!" Mario called to the Prince as he continued to uselessly tire himself out.
"I…I'm not leaving without you!" Peach called back.
Bowsa let out a loud yawn as Mario fired punch after punch into her toned stomach, clearly bored with situation.
"Yup, just as I expected. Mario's no match for the new me" she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "It's not even worth my time to toy with you anymore, Mario. It's time to end this! Goodnight!"
Mario tried to dodge out of the way as Bowsa prepared her famous fire-breath, but he had spent too much energy just trying to leave a scratch that he couldn't jump out of the way in time. The column of fire hit him like freight train, and, even though his special clothing prevented him from being burned, he was tossed directly into the wall behind him, which knocked him out cold.
"Oh no, Mario! Get up!" Peach said, running to his fallen friend's side. At that moment, Bowsa's various minions burst into the room from the outside, surrounding Peach and preventing him from escaping. Guests from the party could be heard letting out startled cries as Bowsa's minions began corralling them.
"Yes! Oh, yeah! I did it!" Bowsa gloated over her fallen foe. "I finally did it! I beat my old rival, Mario! Yessss!"
"Congratulations on your victory, Your Viciousness! That's why you're the Queen!" said Kammy Koopa, Bowsa's most trusted advisor. She was a Koopa too, and was wearing a purple robe, a purple witch's hat, and large glasses, and was carrying a large gold wand with a ruby at the end of it. Her greying hair and hunch back hinted that she was about the same age as Toadsworth.
"As long as I have this Star Rod, everything I wish will come true! No one can stop me now!" Bowsa continued to gloat. "I guess I might as well get rid of Mario now. He's no good to anyone now, that's for sure".
Bowsa raised the Star Rod up again, and summoned down a bolt of lightning that sent Mario flying through the window Bowsa crashed through.
"Oh, no! Mario!" Prince Peach called out after him, but it was too late. Mario was already taking his express flight back to the ground, and Peach didn't even know if Mario was still alive to feel the impact.
"Alright, playtime is over" said Bowsa. "Guards! Take my fiancé to his room!"
The last thing that went through Mario's head before he blacked out was "This is it. The end of my story", and he truly believed that was the case. But, beyond all odds, he was still alive. Unconscious, slightly burned, laying in the middle of an unknown forest, with too many broken bones to count and a stick stuck up his nose, but still alive. And that was good enough to the invisible figures that soon found him.
"Oh, thank heavens!" said one of the seven silhouettes in a motherly voice. "He's been gravely injured, but I think he'll recover".
"But Bowsa has the Star Rod! Now she's mightier than Mario!" said another with a deeper voice. "It's hopeless! All is lost!"
"Everybody just calm down" said what sounded to be an old man. "As long as we keep it together, there's always hope. Our fates are in Mario's hands. We must try to revive him. Gather round, everyone. Send Mario your power!"
Mario glowed as the mysterious figures used whatever magic they had to mend his bones and muscles, restoring him almost completely. The only thing they couldn't do was fix Mario's head; that was something he was going to have to do on his own.
"Phew…that's it. That's all we can do right now" announced the shadow that sounded like an old man. "Mario…please get up…please".
The figures then slowly dissolved into the wind, leaving Mario alone in the forest. He was healed, but still unconscious, and would probably die of exposure before he ever woke up again. Mario had already received two miracles today, but they would all be for nothing without a third. Thankfully, one was waiting right around the corner.
"It really sounded like something fell somewhere around here…" a little girl said as she entered the clearing Mario had fallen into. She looked like a Toad, but yet obviously wasn't. Instead of a big white, polka-dotted mushroom cap, hers was much smaller, and brown. Her skin was a lot darker as well, and a little fang could be seen sticking out the bottom right of her mouth. She was wearing a red dress with a little orange bow on her cap, and blue sandals that suited the warm weather.
"Oh…who could that be?" she asked herself as she spotted Mario's body. "This red shirt, this hat, and this mustache…it couldn't be…could it? The real Mario?"
"Hey! Hey! Wake up! C'mon! Up and at'em!" she yelled incessantly as she tried to wake the comatose man. "Oh no, he won't wake up!"
The little Goomba girl started to panic at this point, unsure of what to do. She certainly didn't want to be responsible for a national hero's death, even if indirectly.
"Oh, oh, what am I gonna do!?" she asked herself as she ran terrified circles around the plumber. "Madre! Mamá! Goommaria! Ayuda! Ayuda!"
