Monty Mole chuckled to himself as 9 people got off the bus. He knew each one, Waluigi, 9-Volt, Shy Guy, Princess Peach, Toadsworth, Iggy Koopa, Kamek, Daisy and Goombario. They were contestants for 'The Mole'. He looked at each one. "Hello everyone. Welcome to 'The Mole'. Where you will be competing in various games for up to a million coins." Monty told the players.
"The games I could buy with that sort of money." 9 Volt thought out loud.
"Keep dreaming. I'm going to win for sure." Waluigi replied obnoxiously.
"However there is a twist. One of you isn't an actual player but a saboteur. They have been hired by me to stop you from earning money. At the end of each episode you will take a quiz on who the mole is and the lowest scorer will lose." Monty explained.
"So the mole is kind of like a traitor?" Peach replied. Monty only nodded.
"Now, it is time for your first game." Monty replied as a plane touched down behind them.
"A plane! Will we be sky diving." Iggy asked.
"Yes. 1000 coins will be added to the team pot for each player that jumps." The host explained. The players clambered on as the plane flew up high.
"I'll go first." Daisy cried as she jumped off the plane and landed in the water with a splash.
"That looks fun." Iggy said and he jumped out of the plane after her.
"That's two thousand coins already. Anyone else want to jump?" Monty commented.
"Skydiving in my old age. Well, for one million coins I guess it is worth doing." The toad said as he jumped out of the plane. When he landed in the water he swam to shore and climbed up onto the nearby beach. "I'm never doing that again." He said trembling.
"Mario could do things much harder than this." Goombario said to himself as he prepared to jump. He stepped out of the plane and landed with a huge splash getting the four players who had already landed wet.
"Who's going next?" Waluigi roared.
"I don't like heights." Shy Guy replied.
"If you don't jump you must be the mole. Besides it is only like a 10,000 foot drop. Worst thing that could happen you hit the beach and go splat" Waluigi said.
Shy Guy went to the back of the plane. "You just made it worse." Peach muttered.
"This is ridiculous. Let me show you how it is done." Kamek told the other players before falling backwards out of the plane.
"If gramps can do it so can I." 9 Volt decided and hopped out after him but when he landed in the water a cry of "Cold!" was heard.
"If you guys won't do it I will." Waluigi said angrily before diving out of the plane.
Shy Guy looked over the edge of the plane but jumped back in fear.
"Don't worry. I won't disrespect you if you don't jump." Peach said before jumping out of the plane. She landed in the water and ran onto the beach soaking wet.
"That's eight people. Only one more is needed for nine thousand coins." Monty Mole said. Everyone looked up at the plane. Finally Waluigi said "He is never going to jump. I bet he is the mole." Suddenly there was a loud shriek as the players noticed Shy Guy falling from the plane.
He stumbled dizzily onto the beach before passing out. "9000 coins have been added to the team pot." Monty Mole said and all the players cheered except Shy Guy who was still unconscious.
"Now, is everyone ready for the next mission?" Monty asked enthusiastically.
