Prologue:

Mario is facing his arch nemesis: Bowser the Gnarly Koopa King, who holds Princess Peach in his grasp at his Castle in the sky. Mario is trying to save the Princess, as per usual, and then suddenly Bowser attacks Mario and fight breaks out between the two! Just as Bowser attacked Mario dodged and gulps down a Fire Flower from his pocket and powers up knowingly that he is in for a long fight.

Bowser goes in for a muscle-packed punch but Mario dodges and gives Bowser a flame-fuelled kick straight to the face.

"Arghhhhhh….. That was a cheap shot Matsaball Man but how do you like this?!" Bowser screeched angrily.

Bowser swings his thick, scaly tail straight at Mario's legs but Mario does his signature thing... and jumps!! But as Bowser planned… SMASH!! Mario gets a punch to the face thus knocking him down for the count… Mario is out cold… Bowser picks up Mario by the throat and just as Mario regains consciousness, Bowser heads to the nearby balcony… and drops our fair hero off the edge.

"Goodbye Mario… have a nice fall!" Bowser laughed evilly.

Mario plummeted down further and further every passing second, quicker and quicker his speed increased just decreasing his chance of survival. He then fell into a lush forest outside of the village on Yoshi's island, and just as he hit the jungle floor he was knocked back into a state of unconsciousness, the sudden thump aroused the interest of some gathering Jungle Guys who haven't caught a good meal lately due to lack of struggling Fuzzies around the Jungle, they saw Mario as lunch and they we gathering quickly. Then while on a walk a young Black Yoshi Kid had found him surrounded by the ravenous Jungle Guys.

"Hey you Jungle Guys get away from that thingy!!" The Yoshi Kid bellowed.

As the Jungle Guys heard this little saviour they ran around uncontrollably, then after several minutes they just gave up and bolted for the bushes.

"Hey mister? Mister? Wake up!! Papa!! Uncle Bluey!! Come here quick!!" the small yoshi screamed for help.

Two Yoshis then came from the nearby Village to see what the entire ruckus was all about.

"What's wrong Blacky? Did those Jungle Guys attack you again?" Blacko asked.

"No, I heard a really loud thump! Then I came to see what riled up the Jungle Guys and this guy was in the centre of the freaked out Jungle Guys!" Blacky said.

"Well no matter, we just have to get him out of here and quick! Those Jungle Guys might come back ready for a fight!" Bluey exclaimed.

"Eh!" A loud, deep voice screeched.

"Whoa! What was that?!" Blacko asked.

"I dunno… but let's get out of here!" Bluey replied nervously.

Just then a massive horde of Jungle Guys came out of nowhere. And right behind them was a massive Jungle Guy that was absolutely obese! Blacko and Bluey naturally assumed was their King.

"You, give back, lunch!" The Supreme Jungle Guy struggled.

"Ahh… sorry… this dude ain't your lunch! Quick Papa! Uncle Bluey! We gotta run!" Blacky yelled.

So after narrowly avoiding the massive Supreme Jungle Guy and all of his minions the Yoshis ran for dear life while struggling to hold up our dear hero they were just about to get to the outskirts of the village…

"STOP!" A mysterious voice bellowed.

"Huh…?" The Yoshis shrugged.

The band of Yoshis came to a screeching Holt, and in doing that Mario from the force of the immediate breaking had flown a good 20 meters into a small oasis pond.

"Quick! Hide behind here!" The mysterious figure yelled.

"No complaints here!" Bluey replied.

Blacky meanwhile who was having a ball, was egging on the approaching Jungle Guys.

"Come 'ere! Ya Cowards! I'll bet your jungle-dress wearing butts I could all take ya on! AND win!" Blacky screamed smugly. "Ha ha ha!"

"Forget it Blacky this isn't the time to pick a fight!" The mysterious figure scolded.

So they all were behind a neighbouring bush until the Jungle Guys spotted Mario

"FOOD…!" They chanted.

Just as they approached our Moustachioed Hero something jumped out of the bush, the very same one the Yoshis were hiding in.

"Mistress Almighty… lend me your POWER!!" The strange figure yelled.

At that very moment everything changed, it was like the Jungle Guys were frozen in their tracks, everything had stopped, and a fresh leaf falling from a thick, hearty tree had just stopped in mid-air.

"There… that should slow them down… whew… that used a lot more juice than I had originally intended…" The figure said quietly.

"SWEET GALLOPING GOOMBAS!" Blacko yelled.

"That is quite the persuasive argument… but let me offer this as my rebuttal… HOLY SUCKING SWAMPIRES!" Bluey screamed then passed out.

"…………SWEET…………" Blacky said very impressed.

The strange figure than realized the few Yoshis that were there.

"Oh! You three are fine, thank the heavens!" It said.

"Whoa…! Dude… you are like totally awesome-spectacular!" Blacky yelled.

"Umm… thanks?" It replied.

"Excuse me Honourable Time Spirit?" Blacko asked.

"How did you know I was a Time Spirit?" Nimbus the Time Spirit questioned Blacko.

"My Papa looks into the history of the Mushroom & Beanbean Kingdoms, Flipside & Flopside myths and into The Light & Dark Prognosticius. And whatever else he can find! How exciting is that!" Blacky interrupted.

"Blacky! Don't be rude! Sorry Honourable Time Spirit…" Blacko said.

"Don't worry about it! And please call me Nimbus!" Nimbus replied.

"Ok… Nimbus… what... about... Mario? Is he all right?" Bluey mumbled as he regained consciousness.

"I'm not sure, have you got a doctor on this island?"

Bluey who by now was fully 'with it' and had fully awakened from his little 'nap'

"Umm… yes… that would be me! I am Dr. Blueshkin but everyone calls me Bluey, I am also an Island resident, Doctor and part-owner of this Islands store Yoshis Cabana." Bluey announced.

"Well, well… you sure know how to impress…" Nimbus replied.

"Oh… shucks… I do my best…" Bluey said shyly.

"Well… moooving on… what do we do about Mario?" Blacky asked.

"That's a good point; I believe he should be put into bed stuffed with ParaTroopa feathers so that he can recover easily…" Bluey confirmed.

So then Nimbus changed into a Toad-like form so he could blend in with the locals, and they all carried Mario to the nearby Toad House which was used as a makeshift shelter for those who are wounded. Finally after about a week Mario regained consciousness.

"Where-a am I?"Mario said to himself

A strange looking spirit was looming before Mario.

"Mario? Are you alright?" the strange spirit asked.

"Yeah I'ma little shaken up but I'ma mama mia fine, but what-a happened? And most of all where-a am I?" He asked Nimbus.

"Well first of all you had quite the fall and you have been out for days! Secondly you are in a Toad House on Yoshis Island not too far from the coastline of Cheep-Cheep beach." Nimbus replied.

"Ah… Yes I remember this place! Ahh… good times… " Mario sighed.

"Well now that I know you are safe and you are mostly fine and dandy I might as well tell you why you are here and most importantly why I am here…" Nimbus announced.

"Oh! Umm… ok-a fire away..!" Mario replied.
