It was a beautiful day in the mushroom kingdom, and Mario and Luigi decided that it is the perfect day to teach Baby Mario and Luigi how to use power ups, so they took the babies outside, and started their lecture. "So, can either of you tell me what a power up is?", asked Mario. Neither of the babies said a word. "Well…", Mario continued. "They are magical items that that give you fun super powers" Baby Luigi then raised his hand. "Yeah, do you have a question?" asked Luigi. The baby got up, walked over to Luigi, and hugged his leg. Mario sighed. "Maybe we should do this some other time", Luigi said. He gently took Baby Luigi off his leg, and placed him in his baby stroller, followed by Baby Mario. "Mario, Come here immediately!", exclaimed Princess Peach from the castle. "I'll be right there!",yelled Mario. He walked on over to the castle,and found Peach sitting against the wall. "What's wrong princess?", he asked. "Well, I was just putting on my makeup, when Ludwig flew up to my window in his clown car, and he shot me with some kind of ray gun. "Che Cosa!?", yelled Mario. "I tried to defend myself but he was to fast." "Umm……Princess.……………Your shrinking!",yelled Mario. He watched peach shrink to a mouses size. "That explains it all!", she yells. "Ludwig wanted revenge for what happened with his shrinking potion!" Mario clenched his fists. "When I get my hands on Ludwig I'm gonna...Never mind." "I can't run a kingdom like this!", exclaimed Peach. "I'll get squashed!" Mario patted her on the head. "No you won't. Me and Luigi will sneak into Bowsers castle and see if there is an antidote in Ludwig's lab." "Ok, so are you going to just leave me here?", Peach asked. "Of course not", Mario said. He picked her up and brought her into the living room, where Toadsworth Is. "Toadsworth, I need you to do something for me", he said softly. Toadsworth's eyes widened when he turned around and saw Peach. "Oh dear!", he yelled. "What happened to her?!" "We had a little koopaling problem", Peach replied. "Anyway, would you take care of her while I go to bowsers castle?", asked Mario. "Why, of course", Toadsworth replied. Mario held out Peach, and Toadsworth gently took her, and cupped her in his hands. "I shouldn't be gone long", Mario said before leaving the castle.
Later…
Mario and Luigi had spent hours walking, before they finally got to the castle. "So let me get this straight...",Luigi started to say. "The Princess got shrunk by Ludwig?" "Yeah", Mario responded. "But, hopefully Ludwig has an antidote that we can swipe." "Ok", said Luigi. "But, we need to find a new way into the castle, so it won't end up like last time."
Flashback…
Mario: Luigi, you go through the back door, and I'll go through the front
Luigi: Okey dokey *Heads over to the back*
Bowser: *Chortles*
He then poured the potion on Mario's head.
Mario: Whoa! *Looks up* What was that?!
Bowser: Hey Mario.
Mario: Bowser! Where is Peach!?
Bowser: *Smirks*
Mario: Wipe that grin off your face!
He then started to shrink
Bowser: *Turns around* Ludwig, come here! It's starting!
Ludwig: *Walks over to the window*
Mario keeps shrinking until he was tiny
Mario: Ah, come on!
Back to present…
"Yeah…", Mario slowly said. He then notices a black warp pipe next to the castle. "Hey Luigi!" He points at the pipe. "Maybe that pipe leads to the castle." Luigi sighs. "Well, I guess we have no other option." They both walk up to the pipe and jump in.
They fall into a room with various thwomps and shyguys. "Oh no Mario, we're gonna get creamed!", yelled Luigi. He gets scared and starts running around. "Oh, get a grip Luigi!", yelled Mario. A shy guy noticed Luigi and shot a fireball at him. "OUCH!", he yelled, as the fireball hit him. "You did not just do that to my brother.", said Mario intimidatingly. He started running toward the shy guy, when a thwomp fell down from the ceiling and flattened him like a pancake. "Mario!", yelled Luigi. He ran over to Mario and peeled him off the ground. "I'm as thin as a piece of paper!", yelled Mario. "Don't you mean, Paper Mario?", Luigi said with a chuckle. "This is no time for jokes Luigi!", yelled Mario. "Help me!" Luigi looks around and spots a magic balloon. He runs up to it, and touches Mario to it, restoring him back to normal. "We have to get out of here!", yelled Luigi. "Luigi, look over there.", said Mario, pointing at a door. They both run into the next room, and closed the door behind them.
"That was close", said Luigi, out of breath. "I can't see anything, it's to dark in here", said Mario.
There was no response. "Luigi?", Mario said softly. Silence. Mario started feeling the wall, and found a light switch. "Ah, here we go" he said, flicking the switch. He looked around, but didn't see Luigi anywhere. It was just an empty room. All there was, was a door at the other side of the room. Very slowly, Mario walked to the other side of the room, and put his hand on the doorknob. Could Luigi be behind the door? Mario opened the door, and couldn't believe his eyes.
