Mario woke up to the sound of Luigi watching television in the other room. Mario got dressed and took a shower. He looked at the soap shaped like a star. Luigi barely ever used it. He liked to use body wash, but that was also unopened. After taking his shower, Mario walked up to Luigi and asked, "Luigi, did you forget to shower again?"
Luigi gave a guilty look. "Sorry bro, it's just I'm watching my favorite soap opera on television. Toad is found out that his dear Toadette is having an affair with General Toadster!" he told Mario.
"Speaking of Toadster, did you remember to call the repairman to fix the toaster?" asked Mario. Luigi shook his head in shame. "Fine, I'll call Toad Town Repair Service." Mario said to his forgetful brother.
Mario grabbed his cell-phone and dialed their number. There was no response. Mario tried again, but there was still no answer. While Mario was struggling with contacting the repairman, Luigi decided to get the newspaper to see if the Shrooms beat the Piantas. Luigi grabbed the newspaper from the front lawn, and was devastated when he saw the front cover of the Goomba Gazette. He ran to his brother who was still pondering about the toaster. When Luigi saw Mario, he was out of breath. Mario asked, "What happened?" Luigi couldn't answer because he was still gasping for air, but instead just handed Mario the newspaper. Mario looked astonished when he saw the headline in bold print. It said, "Toad Town Closed Due to Kidnapped Princess". Mario exclaimed, "I can't believe it! Peach was kidnapped again!"
Luigi, finally out of breath, said to his older brother, "What? Peach has been kidnapped?" Mario looked at Luigi in confusion. "I was only astonished because Pianta Johnson made a buzzer shot that gave the Delfino Island Piantas their first win of the season!" Luigi exclaimed.
Mario ignored Luigi and decided to go to Toad Town to find out more about this. Luigi followed him to the Post Office. The secretary wasn't there, so the brothers decided to see the manager. He too, was nowhere to be found. Mario and Luigi decided to see Tayce T., the famous cook in Toad Town. Lucky for the Mario Brothers, she was there. "Why hello there Tayce Toad, we came here to ask you about Princess Toadstool. We have heard that she was kidnapped. Is this true?" Luigi asked.
Tayce T. answered, "Indeed it is. Some masked monster kidnapped Peach. I saw it with my own eyes. Strangely, this enemy didn't take the form of the feared Koopa King. Almost everyone in Toad Town has evacuated because of the goomba problem that this town has been having for several weeks now. They've began to grow restless, and you could say that once again, our only hope is you, Mario."
Mario was just about to say something when Luigi announced, "Tayce, I think you've forgotten someone else who could save Toad Town." Luigi winked. Tayce T. and Mario thought for a second.
After a long silence, Mario soon said to Luigi, "You're right Luigi. Then, do you know what Donkey Kong's phone number is?"
Luigi turned bright red and yelled out, "It's me, you jackass!" Mario started smiling and turned red. He broke into laughter.
Mario soon calmed down and said, "I don't know, Luigi. Remember when you tried to save Princess Éclair of the Waffle Kingdom?" Luigi thought for a second.
"Oh yeah! And I was the greatest hero ever!" exclaimed Luigi now remembering his exciting adventure.
Mario told his overexcited brother, "By your point of view, you were the "greatest hero ever". But, your party members didn't think the same way. They told me you were just making up lies! For instance, there was Blooey the blooper who had his skin burned. There was also Torque, who let you ride his machine to race for a piece of the Marvelous Compass, but you wrecked his machine!" Luigi stared at his brother and ran off.
After Luigi left Tayce Toad's, there was a loud knocking on the door. Before they were able to answer, the door was smashed open. It was three goombas looking for trouble. Mario quickly searched his pocket for his old Ultra Hammer, but it wasn't there! His Ultra Boots aren't here either. The goombas surrounded Mario, and tried to attack him at once. Mario had to think fast. Tayce T. threw her frying pan and yelled out to Mario, "Hey Mario, catch!" Mario tried to catch it, but it hit one of the goombas instead. The goomba was defeated. Mario grabbed the frying and swung it as hard as he could at the second goomba. Then, he defeated the third goomba. Tayce T. threw her arms around Mario and said, "As a token of my gratitude, please keep the frying pan." Mario accepted and left the room.
Mario decided to go back to the house to see if he could find his Ultra Hammer or his Ultra Boots. He fought a few weak goombas along the way, but when he arrived at his house something suspicious happened. Mario heard a ground pound. Someone was using his Ultra Boots! The door was locked, so he'd have to go through the window. Mario stopped when he heard voices coming from the side of the house. They were coming from outside, so Mario decided to eavesdrop.
"Ha ha hah! I can't wait to see the look on Mario's face when we break into his house. He won't be ready for the surprise attack!"
"Uhh… Boss? How do you know that Mario is in his house?"
"Well isn't it simple, my little blue goomba? I can hear him practicing some of his moves! So, let's go in!"
"Uhh… Boss? But, if he's practicing, won't he be ready to defeat us. I mean…"
"You're right, let's go back through the pipe." Mario heard several footsteps. He closed his eyes and didn't make a sound, until a huge foot stomped on his shoe!
Mario looked at who stepped on him. It was Goomba King and the Goomba Brothers! "Hey Goomba King, remember me?"
Goomba King looked at Mario and noticed he didn't have his Ultra Boots. "Wait a second, if you're here then whose inside?" the Goomba King asked.
Mario answered him, "I don't know! I think it's a burglar! But then again, they must know me well to know where I put all of my weapons." Red Goomba and Blue Goomba walked up to Mario and immediately attacked him. Mario grabbed the frying pan and swung it at both of them once. He would've hit them more if the Goomba King didn't escape right at that moment. They both jumped on Mario. When they were in the air Mario ran out of the way, making them land on the ground. Mario quickly came up to the enemies and swung his frying pan at both of them several times. Blue Goomba was defeated, but Red Goomba wasn't. Red Goomba jumped up, but in midair, Mario bumped him with his frying pan. They were both unconscious. Mario was pretty sure where the Goomba King ran off to, but before going after him, Mario stopped at the abandoned post office looking for a better weapon that the security guard might've had. Mario found a gun without any bullets and a knife. Mario took both of them. He wouldn't be able to use the gun, but he suspected there would be some store selling bullets along the way. On his way to where he suspected Goomba King was hiding, he found an abandoned shop. He took any remaining items including two bullets.
Mario suspected he was at his old castle and he was right. There he was, in the corner of the room thinking Mario wouldn't see him. Mario tried shooting him, but he missed. He tried shooting him again, but it wouldn't work! The trigger was broken. Thinking the gun was useless, Mario threw the old weapon off the bridge nearby. Mario got out a knife and stabbed him several times. There was a puddle of blood on the floor. The Goomba King was finally dead. A few seconds later, the Goomba Brothers walked in and looked horrified when they saw their beloved king's corpse on the floor. "You bastard!" Red Goomba yelled. "I'll kill you!" Mario stabbed Red Goomba twice and Blue Goomba once. Both of them died fighting.
After his battle against the Goomba King, Mario ran back to his house. The door was unlocked and his thief left with all of his weapons! Mario wanted to get help, so he decided to see if Goombario wanted to join him in another journey. But when Mario arrived at Goomba Village, all of the goombas were staring at him. Mario found Goombario, but he was speechless. "What the hell are you doing with goomba blood on your clothes! I thought you only knocked enemies unconscious you sick-minded weirdo! I know that's goomba blood because it has some purple spots in it!" Goombario yelled. Goombella walked up to Mario and warned him to get out of here or else. Mario heard the warning and left the village.
Mario decided to get help from the Star Spirits. Mario walked from Goomba Village all the way to the top of Shooting Star Summit. Mario waited for a while until soon the seven Star Spirits appeared. Scholar saw the blood on Mario's clothes and used his powers to clean it up. "How can we help you, our brave warrior?" Eldstar asked.
Mario answered, "Peach was kidnapped again and nobody will help me! Could you guys come with me?" Muskular was about to say something until the Star Spirits vanished.
Mario felt confused, when suddenly two giant hands came. It was Master Hand and Crazy Hand! (From Super Smash Brothers Melee) Master Hand grabbed Mario and threw him away. Mario flew off the planet and landed on a blue ship. It was an arwing. The driver noticed Mario and let him inside. Falco was in the driver's seat. Falco sent a message to the others and said, "You guys abort the mission. We have a visitor."
