Mario's Lost Journal

6:10AM - Phone rings. It's Princess Peach. A guy just can't get good quality beauty sleep anymore. Anyway, she's phoning to invite me over for cake. Bet she just wants me to fix her kitchen sink again. What I do for you, Peach.

7:00AM – Using my handy dandy transportation pipe, I arrive at Peach's Castle right on schedule. I hear deep evil laughter the minute I enter the Castle. Now, unless Peach has got a new hobby of evil laughing, the laughter can only mean one thing – Bowser. I knew I should've told Peach to install a security system the last time I was over here. Oh well.

7:30 AM – I found this weird painting behind a door with a star on it. I jumped in only to enter a world with explosive bombs and Goomba's everywhere. The scenery was nice, though. Mental note: next time I go on an adventure, bring a camera. I beat up Big Bob-omb with ease, outran Koopa the Quick (more like Koopa the incredibly slow), and collected 8 red coins. Y'know, for 8 red coins, sometimes it seems like a lot more…whoever hides them sure is sneaky…

8:00AM – Finally found Bowser. Grabbed him by the tail and swung him into a big spiked orb. It's way too early in the morning for this hero stuff. The next time the phone rings, I'm not going to answer it.

10:15AM – I found a tower with Wing Cap on it. Now I can get Wing Cap whenever I find a Red Block. A guy can only do so many long jumps and twisting back flips in a day, after all. Flying must be my so-called 'big break'. I'll have to speak to the producers about a vacation…

12:30PM – I finally escaped Peach's basement. It's nasty down there! With Boo's, mazes, volcanoes, deserts, lava, quick sand, spiders and Bowser, it's not exactly the ideal basement. I must speak to Peach about cleaning it out--although I'll probably end up doing the dirty work. The good part was finding Metal Cap in the Cavern, though. Now I can be Metal Mario!

2:30PM – I traveled upstairs just to survive a blizzard, climb a mountain while either being tiny or huge, stop time and take a magic carpet ride. Let me tell you – after all of the previous excitement, the magic carpet ride was more rewarding than you'd expect. When I saw Toad, he gave me a Power Star! Toad was always a favourite of mine.

4:00PM – After climbing what seemed like an endless staircase (which at one point – was) I reached the top and entered the sky. Well, 'Bowser in the sky', to be exact. At the top I confronted Bowser. Why is he all multi-coloured? Did he pick a fight with a rainbow, or what? Anyway he gave me a huge speech about keeping Peach for himself, and I ended up kicking his butt again, as always. All I had to do was toss that ugly turtle into three bombs, and that was it!

6:30PM – Using Wing Cap to get back to the Castle, the Power Stars all joined together and Peach appeared! Finally, she's saved. She gives me a big kiss for rescuing her. Unfortunately it was on the nose. I'm still waiting for the lip to lip kiss.

7:00PM - Afterwards, she invited Luigi, Yoshi (who was staking out on the roof) Donkey Kong and Wario over to play Mario Party. Peach wins and gloats about it all night. See if I ever rescue her again.

--THE END—
