Prologue
(Scarletta) Hello my children. I am Scarletta, the Goddess of Life, and the Mother of all Worlds. This is the retelling of a very epic adventure about Mario. This is the story about a magical place known as "Mario Land". It is an island 20 Minutes away from the Mushroom Kingdom by boat. The residents of the island were some of Bowser's former troops who joined Mario's side, & the 6 guardians of ancient items known as the Golden Coins. It was also Mario's Special Home, aside from the Mushroom Kingdom. However, it has been invaded by a sinister & repulsive doppleganger named Wario. He has casted a terrible spell on Mario Land & it's inhabitants. Also, with the power of the 6 Golden Coins he stole from the guardians, he has taken control of the Mario Castle, and has imprisoned the Princess of Mario Land & Mario's Older Cousin, Sophiana. Wario has locked her in a dungeon at the very top of the Mario Castle. Sophiana knew that Mario needed to come home & save the land. So she chanted a magical spell, and turned into spiritual form, leaving her body behind, in search for Mario. Now that the prologue is over, let's start the story.
STORY START!!
(Scarletta) This story takes place about a week after Mario's Last Adventure. He had rescued the beloved Princess Daisy & saved Sarasaland from the evil Alien Tatanga. Mario was in his steamboat traveling from Sarasaland to his home, Mario Land. He was taking a nice nap in the ship's bedroom. When all of a sudden...
(Mario) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
(???) Mario, please wake up.
(Mario) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
(???) Mario?
(Mario is still asleep)
(???) sigh I didn't want to do this.
(The mysterious spirit woman summons a Thwimp to pound on Mario's Stomach)
(Mario) OUCH!! Hey!!
(Mario smacks the Thwimp outta the window & into the water where it will drown)
(???) Oh Mario. I'm so glad you are awake.
(Mario) WHA!! Huh? Hey wait a minute! I recognize you! Sophiana?
(Sophiana) Yes Mario. It is I, your loving cousin & Princess of Mario Land, Sophiana.
(Mario) How come you're a ghost?
(Sophiana) Actually, I am in spirit form. Listen to me! Mario Land is in grave danger!
(Mario) What's going on?
(Sophiana) Mario Land has been invaded by a man who looks almost like you. His name is Wario!
(Mario) Wario? I can't help but think I heard that name somewhere.
(Sophiana) He has casted a terrible spell on the entire land, controlling all of the inhabitants & the 6 Guardians of the Golden Coins!
(Mario) Oh no! That's very bad.
(Sophiana) Even worse, he's taken control of the Castle & has imprisoned me in the highest dungeon!
(Mario) Wait, then why are you here?
(Sophiana) Before hope was lost, I remembered a special spell that could seperate me from my body and find you. Please Mario, we need to go back to Mario Land and recover the 6 Golden Coins from the Guardians who are now in Wario's control. You are our only hope.
(Mario) Well, it's a good thing we're on our way there right now. Alright! You can count me in!!
(Sophiana) Oh thank you Mario! I knew you would help me.
(Sophiana kisses Mario)
(Mario) WAHOO!! HERE WE GO!!!!
(Ship Captain) Excuse me, Mr. Mario? We have arrived at our destination.
(Mario) Alright! We're here!
(Sophiana) Thank goodness.
(Scarletta) And so, our heroes had arrived to Mario Land, which was now under the control of the evil Wario.
(Ship Captain) Be careful Mr. Mario. Strange things have been happening here. So I want you to be safe. Okay?
(Mario) You got it Captain!
(Mario & Sophiana's Spirit had left the ship & the ship left the island)
(Sophiana) Oh, Mario? I almost forgot to give this to you.
(Sophiana gives Mario a Magical Carrot)
(Mario) What is this?
(Sophiana) This is a sacred item that is only found here in Mario Land. Please, eat it.
(Mario) Well, if you insist, bottoms up.
(Mario eats the Carrot)
(Mario) Hm...I don't feel any different. Huh? Wait a minute!
(Mario is lifted in the air, spins around and is blasted with a glowing orb of light. He has aquired 2 Pairs of Magical Bunny Ears)
(Mario) Whoa, bunny ears?
(Sophiana) Those are no ordinary bunny ears. These ears are filled with magic power. They allow you to hover large distances in the air. They also increase your jumping ability by 50!
(Mario) Awesome!! Hey, how come I never knew about this?
(Sophiana) Some mysteries are better solved when you get older Mario.
(???) Well well well, what have we got here? If it isn't Mario & the spirit of Princess Sophiana.
(Sophiana) Oh no! It can't be!
(Mario) What the!? Is that you, "Ratanious"?
(Intermission)
(Jamesman) Ratnaious, is the name I gave for the Rat Boss from the Game.
(Intermission Over)
(Ratanious) Yes Mario, it is I, Ratanious! As you might already know, I am now on Wario's Side. So if you don't want to be rat chow, join the side of Wario.
(Sophiana) Please Ratanious! What you are doing is wrong! Please leave Wario's Clutches & give us your Golden Coin. We really need it!
(Ratanious) And just what makes you think I will give you this precious golden coin?
(Mario) Because if you don't, you'll be hearing from my flaming fists!
(Sophiana) Mario, what are you doing? We shouldn't fight him.
(Mario) There's no other choice Sophiana. The curse has fully taken control of Ratanious. He won't give in unless he realizes the mistake he made. And the only way to do so is by force. Please try to understand Sophiana.
(Sophiana) sigh I'm afraid you're right. Promise me you won't injure him badly.
(Mario) I promise, from the very bottom of my heart.
(Ratanious) Are you gonna blather like idiots all day or are we gonna fight?
(Mario) Your move Ratanious.
(Ratanious) Let's hope you have your red cape ready, CUZ HERE I COME!!
(Ratanious starts charging after Mario)
(Mario) Whoa, I never seen him run that fast!
(Sophiana) Mario, you have to jump!!
(Mario) Oh, right!
(Mario jumps away from the charging rat)
(Mario) Whoa, Sophiana was right! I can jump higher then before!
(Sophiana) Mario! Look out for that...
(Mario hit his head a little hard on a blank block)
(Mario) Oof!
(Sophiana) Block...
(Mario fell back to the ground)
(Mario) Ouch. Talk about a hard hitter.
(Sophiana) You need to jump with caution Mario. Those bunny ears aren't easy to get used to.
(Mario) Now ya tell me!!
(Ratanious) Here I come Mario!!
(Mario) Not again! Huh? Hm...
(Mario jumps ahead of Ratanious again)
(Mario) Hey Rat boy!!
(Ratanious) What?
(Mario) Watch out for that...
(Ratanious rams his head on a tree)
(Mario) Tree!
(Ratanious) Uhh...
(Ratanious faints for a few seconds then regains conscience)
(Ratanious) Huh? W-Where am I?
(Mario) Oh thank goodness. You're back to normal!
(Ratanious) What happened? I had the strangest dream that I was being controlled by some demented maniac who looked kinda like you Mario.
(Sophiana) Oh Ratanious, I'm glad to see your old self again.
(Ratanious) Oh my, Princess? Is that you?
(Sophiana) Yes. You were under Wario's demented spell. But now you're finally back to normal.
(Ratanious) I'm sorry if I caused any trouble your highness.
(Sophiana) It is all alright Ratanious. I'm just glad you're okay.
(Ratanious) I truly thank you both for saving me. If there is anything I can do...
(Mario) There is one way you can help.
(Sophiana) The entire Mario Land is under the curse of Wario, and he has imprisoned my body in his dungeon. The only way Wario can be defeated, and to set me free, is to find all 6 golden coins. So we need your golden coin, if that's okay.
(Ratanious) 'tis no trouble at all milady. You & Mario can take my Golden Coin. You both will need it.
(Ratanious gives Mario the 1st Golden Coin, The Macro Coin)
(Mario) YES!! The 1st Golden Coin is ours! Only 5 more to go!!
(Ratanious) If you 2 ever need my help again, please come to my shrine in The Macro Zone. You are welcome anytime.
(Mario) Thank you Mr. Ratanious. We'll see you later!
(Ratanious) Take care my friends! The fate of Mario Land is in your hands!
(Mario & Sophiana go on ahead)
(Mario) Well, that's one coin down. We only need 5 more coins and then we can enter the Mario Castle!
(Sophiana) I think the best place to find the next Golden Coin is The Tree Zone!
(Mario) Then what are we waiting for? Let's-a go!!
(Sophiana) Yes!
(Meanwhile, in the Mario Castle, now called the "Wario" Castle)
(Wario) So it seems that pesky plumber Mario has returned Ratanious back to normal. But what's that crummy Princess doing with Mario? I thought I locked her up in the dungeon. I better consult with the guard!
(Wario switches the monitor to the dungeon room)
(Koopa Guard) Yes Master Wario?
(Wario) I need you to do a background check. Is Princess Sophiana in her cell?
(Koopa Guard) I just passed by the cell, and she's in there safe and sound. But she's laying on the floor, lifeless.
(Wario) Really? Strange. Check inside her cell to be safe.
(Koopa Guard) I can't Master. We need the 6 Golden Coins to open the cell, but you gave them back to the guardians for safe keeping.
(Wario) Drats. Well, I guess even villians like me make mistakes. Just make sure she remains in the cell!
(Koopa Guard) Yes sir!
(Wario turns the monitor back on Mario)
(Wario) Well Mario, you may have the 1st Golden Coin, but you still need the other 5 if you want to come to me & save Mario Land & the Princess. You think you can do it? Be my guest, for it shall be your ultimate downfall!! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
(Scarletta) And so, Mario had sucessfully collected the 1st Golden Coin from Ratanious. But only 5 more remain, and it'll take more then skill to take on the 5 remaining bosses. With Wario's Curse still in affect, Mario will have a hard time getting the other 5 Golden Coins. Will Mario's newly aquired Bunny Ears be enough to get the other 5 Golden Coins, rescue his beloved Princess Sophiana, and rid Wario from Mario Land?
