It was a sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad had been put on fire flower collection duty by official orders of the Mushroom King Chancellor. Luckily, Princess Peach had decided to keep him company and they took off for a small walk around the town in search for some fire flowers.

They are standing on a hill that overlooks the Forbidden Forest. Many goombas and a lot of Bowser's minions hang out in the forest. The Mushroom Kingdom has tried numerous times to wipe it clean and fix it up, but the forest emanates a strange aura of evil, and every attempt has met with failure. They blocked it off instead, and it has remained that way for years.

Toad, completely ignoring the view of the forest blabs, "I hate fire flower duty, I never even get to USE them, all I do is collect them for you and Mario and Yoshi, right!?"

Peach looks at him smiling. She was wearing her summer outfit she got when she played tennis last year with Mario, looking cute as usual. "Well, next time we go on an adventure, we'll bring you along, you have really been practicing a lot," Peach replied, "I'm sure you can help us out."

"You really mean it!? Yeah, I've been working hard every day to help out, right?!" Toad looks up at a Coin block. This one usually has a mushroom, but sometimes it would give them fire flowers. Toad Flexes to Peach to show off his new skills and jumps for the block; he's shy by 3 toads lengths.

Peach chuckles at Toads miss, "Well if you're going to come with us, you'll at least have to learn how to double jump!"

"Double jump?? How do you do that?!

"It's easy, but it'll take some practice." Peach focuses her sights on the block, and very elegantly leaps into the air. At the top of her jump, she begins to float. She looks down at Toad and says, "Ok, once you're at the top of your first jump, you'll want to imagine that you're standing on another block. Try really hard, because you have to really believe its there." Peach stops floating and takes a step. A glowing edge appears in the air where she steps, and she pushes off it and leaps even higher into the air, over the block and on top of it, where she sits down, dangling her legs.

"See Toad, its easy! Now you try!"

"Wow Princess Peach, that's amazing! Can I really do that too?"

"Of course you can! Double jumping is easy, just you wait until I teach you triple jumping," Peach smiles and winks at Toad.

"There's more!! Ok, well teach me that too! I need to learn as much as possible to help out you and Mario, right?!"

Peach puts her finger up to her chin to think. "Well, I could probably teach you both at once. The third kind of jump requires you to use a special skill of yours. Do you have any skills that could help you jump higher?"

Toad begins tapping his little foot and begins to think as hard as he can for a move that might fit that category.

"I got it! I can use my poison shot! I normally just use it as a shield, but if I aim it down, it should blast me upwards, right?"

"Yeah! Great idea Toad, that should work fine! Now remember, believe a step is there, then when you do the second jump, you'll have to imagine a second step, and blast your poison shot onto that. You'll get REALLY high, so don't do it too hard!"

"Ok, ok, I got it, watch this!"

Toad prepares for his jump. He leaps into the air. At the top of his jump, he closes his eyes shut and begins to think to himself, "Ok, there's a block right under me, there's definitely a block right under me." Toad puts his foot down, and he can feel a hard surface. "All right! There it is. Now I just have to jump again." Toad jumps once more. He still has his eyes closed, and goes up past the block and Peach. "Ok, now for the third jump," Toad tells himself. "Imagine another block, and shoot my poison shot straight into it!" Toad does a small flip, and blasts his poison shot straight down into the invisible block. A green poison cloud erupts from his mushroom hat and sends him flying into the air. "I did it," Toad thinks, "I really did it!" He opens his eyes.

Toad yells down to Peach, "Princess Peach I did it!!!! I really did it, RIiiiiigggghhhttt?" Toads voice begins to trail off into the distance. Toad notices that he is still flying. He is far above where Peach is sitting, and he sees her begin to stand up.

"Oh no, I jumped TOO far!"

"Oh no, He jumped TOO far, he's heading straight for the Forbidden Forest." Peach double jumps and begins to float after Toad.
