Unh! Unh! I say a h-h-h-h-hooked on the brothers! The brothers! The brothers. The brothers…
Anyone who had lived in Brooklyn, New York for any length of time would have been familiar with the Mario Bros. Plumbing Company, which was housed in a small building on the corner of 5th and Lincoln. Mario and Luigi, the brothers who owned and operated the business… and who were also the only employees… were known for their fast and professional work, and on a busy day they could easily spend sixteen straight hours answering service calls. However, on a slower day, such as this one, Mario could spend sixteen hours answering a slightly different call.
"And there you go." The red overall-wearing plumber said as he piled more pasta onto his plate. "Come to papa, you beautiful stringy treat."
Stacking as much on his plate as humanly possible, Mario finished it off by pouring sauce over the top, and then walking over to the nearby table. Licking his lips as he put cheese on top of the meal, he was just picking up his fork, when the door opened, and his green overall-wearing, much skinnier brother, Luigi walked into the room.
"What are you doing eating again, Mario?" He asked as he walked over. "I just got a call from Justin Bieber; he's gonna be here any minute."
"Justin Bieber?" Mario replied in an annoyed tone as he dropped his fork. "Well, thanks for putting me off my appetite, Luigi. You know, we used to get cool guys like Sgt. Slaughter and Magic Johnson to come on this show, and now we gotta put up with tools like Justin Bieber? I mean, I know we aren't as popular as we were in 1989, but come on."
Luigi sighed as he patted his brother on the shoulder, and he was just about to say something, when a knock came at the door. Growling in annoyance while dropping his plate, Mario got up, and angrily stomped over to the door, opening it to reveal the smiling face of Justin Bieber. The singer took a step into the room, and started to say hello, but was interrupted when Mario smacked him in the mouth.
"Don't talk to me, you little jerk." The red overall-wearing plumber ordered. "Now turn around, and get the hell off our show."
"Oh my God, Luigi, did you see that?!" Bieber whined while rubbing his cheek. "Mario just smacked me, and… and he called me a jerk."
"Don't tell on him, you little jerk." Luigi answered, also smacking him. "Didn't your daddy ever tell you that snitches get stitches? I'm tired of this clown already, Mario, get his feet."
Bieber shrieked in surprise and confusion as the two plumbers suddenly grabbed him, and there was nothing he could do to stop them from lifting him off his feet. The singer flailed around and called for help as they carried him out the door, and he screamed even more when he saw that they were taking him toward the old garbage chute that was built into the wall surrounding the staircase.
"You can't do this to me!" Bieber yelled as Luigi opened the hatch with his free hand. "Think of all my fans!"
"We are thinking of them." Mario replied while they started stuffing him inside. "Trust us, kid, they'll be better off without you."
Bieber tried to stop himself by grabbing onto the hatch-frame, but he wasn't nearly as strong as the two plumbers, so it was only a matter of time until he vanished from sight, screaming as he tumbled down the chute. A few seconds later there was a loud crash from below as if someone had knocked over a bunch of garbage cans, along with the sound of pathetic moaning.
"Well, that's that." Mario said while closing the hatch. "I feel better already."
"Right you are, Mario." Luigi replied as they did a high-five. "We may be plumbers, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to take out the trash."
Yo, yo! It's the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's their game, found the secret Warp Zone while working on the drain. Lend the Princess a hand, and the Mushroom Man, comin' atcha with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!

PLUMBER'S LOG: 64-23
LOCATION: Kingdom of Sarasaland
After receiving an urgent letter from her cousin, Princess Daisy, Luigi and I accompanied Princess Peach Toadstool to the beautiful Kingdom of Sarasaland. Toad, her faithful mushroom-headed servant, came along as well, but immediately wished he hadn't, when it was discovered that Daisy had been kidnapped by an evil alien named Tatanga, who had brainwashed the loyal Citizens of Sarasaland into doing his bidding.
Together, the four of us journeyed across the Kingdom's four Provinces, fighting our way through the brainwashed population until we finally cornered Tatanga in his lair. It took teamwork, and everything we had, but finally we defeated Tatanga, and this time it was Luigi who saved the Princess.
As a reward for saving the Kingdom and banishing that evil alien, Princess Daisy named Luigi and I the rulers of a large island, which the people quickly renamed Mario Island. They even erected a large mechanical statue of… one of us… I'm not really sure which one it's supposed to be, but the gesture was overwhelming.
And as for our home on the island, we found ourselves the owners of a beautiful castle at the center, and the place was so luxurious that the entrance was sealed by six plate-size golden coins. Each coin was engraved with the crest of one of the six settlements around the island, and as long as they remained in position, the door would stay open.
Now, after another lengthy visit to Princess Daisy at her palace, Luigi and I, along with Princess Peach, Toad, and Princess Daisy who wished to visit our palace, are returning by ship to Mario Island for a relaxing vacation.
The sound of crashing waves could be heard as the large wooden ship floated across the open water, but the blue sky was clear, and there was no more wind than was needed to sail, meaning that the ship was barely rocking at all. All of this added up to the perfect conditions for Mario, Peach, and Toad, who were all wearing their swim suits as they laid back in their beach chairs. Luigi and Daisy were there as well, but away from the group, standing close together, and leaning on the guardrail while they talked amongst themselves.
"This is the life, huh guys?" Mario asked, taking a sip of his drink. "It's a beautiful day, the Kingdom of Sarasland is safe from diminutive alien invaders, and we're about to start a nice, long vacation on Mario Island."
"I'm just happy that my cousin, Daisy is safe again." Peach replied, looking over toward the guardrail. "And I'm really happy for Luigi… I don't think I've ever seen him this happy before."
"Yeah, he and Daisy seem to really like each other." Toad commented, rolling over onto his back. "And here, this whole time I just thought he was gay."
It was true, Luigi had surprised them all during the final battle against Tatanga, in the skies above Sarasland's Chai Province. Using an airplane to board the alien's ship, they had all become separated during the attack that followed, and somehow Luigi was the one who found his way to the throne room. By the time that the others arrived, the alien was defeated, and the green overall-wearing plumber was letting Daisy out of her cage.
But that was all over and done with now. Everyone was looking forward to a few weeks of relaxation and good times, and the best part was that Mario Island had so much to offer visitors and residents alike. There was scuba diving in Turtle Town, tours of the giant Mario Mecha in Gear City, and it was always fun to explore the giant piece of construction known as Macro Mansion. Naturalistic visitors could spend the day climbing through Treetop National Forest, while travelers with more modern tastes could experience the joys of Luna Land, Mario Island's premiere amusement park. Of course, for the bravest of tourists, there was only one stop to make once the sun went down: Pumpkin Park, where delightful thrills and chills awaited.
"I wanna go to Pumpkin Park." Daisy said happily as she and Luigi returned to the group. "We should all go to tonight's Haunting Festival, after we get settled in at the castle."
"Pumpkin Park?!" Toad exclaimed in disbelief. "If you and your boyfriend wanna spend the night hanging out with ghosts and monsters, you go ahead, but count me out."
"And count me in." Mario said once the Mushroom Man was finished. "Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts, Apple Cider, and Caramel Apples, here I come. Oh, and don't forget the Pumpkin Pie, Apple-Cinnamon Iced Coffee, and Gingerbread Cookies."
"Sounds like the ghosts will be more scared of you, Mario." Peach giggled. "But I haven't been to a Haunting Festival since Daisy and I were little girls, so let's go."
Now everyone was even more excited to reach Mario Island, and this growing anxiety was not helped by the fact that there was nothing but ocean for as far as the eye could see. For a few more hours they attempted to amuse themselves by napping, playing Shuffleboard, and more talking, but nothing could keep them from constantly looking for any signs of land. Suddenly something appeared off in the distance, and after squinting at it for several minutes, the ship got close enough for them to see that it was Mario.
"It's the Mario Mecha!" Toad exclaimed, looking through a pair of binoculars. "It's right there! Mario Island is right there! Land-ho!"
But they were not the only ones who were watching through binoculars. Far away from the ship, standing on top of the palace, a large figure focused his lenses until the group could be seen clearly.
"Welcome home, Mario." He said while twirling his mustache. "I can't wait to see the look on your smug little face when you see what I've done with the place."
