(PEACH IS PICKING FLOWERS OUTSIDE THE MUSHROOM CASTLE)

PEACH: This is going to be a great surprise for Mario! I'm really glad Bowser isn't here to see me do this. I'm totally gonna get kidnapped if he's here.

(TURNS OUT, BOWSER IS IN A DISGUISE, EAVESDROPPING BEHIND PEACH)

BOWSER: Hey, princess.

PEACH: (SCREAM) Oh, hello, stranger. Do you need anything?

BOWSER: Um, yes. There isn't any food around the Mushroom Kingdom and I don't have a home. Do you mind picking any food?

PEACH: Of course I can! I'll go pick some berries. I'll see you in a bit!

(PEACH EXITS. BOWSER TAKES OFF THE DISGUISE TO REVEAL HIMSELF)

BOWSER: Ha! The princess didn't even recognize me! Time to go kidnap the princess!

(THE KOOPALINGS, LARRY, ROY, LEMMY, WENDY, IGGY, MORTON AND LUDWIG ENTER FROM DIFFERENT SIDES AND ALL CHEER AND GIGGLE)

PEACH: Hello? Okay.

(BOWSER AND THE KOOPALINGS CATCH PEACH)

BOWSER: It is I, Bowser! And I will catch you for the 100th time now!

PEACH: Someone's been counting?

BOWSER: No. But still let's go!

(THE ENEMIES ALL LAUGH AND TAKE PEACH AWAY. MEANWHILE, MARIO IS ON A BED ON HIS CELLPHONE. THE PHONE RINGS)

MARIO: Hello?

PEACH: Hey, Mario! Bowser got me again for the millionth time now. I'm totally screwed.

MARIO: Someone's been counting?

PEACH: No.

MARIO: How could Bowser get you again? How old is he? Like 40 something? I don't know. We haven't aged for 33 years!

PEACH: Someone's been counting?

MARIO: Uh, not really.

(PEACH GIVES AN UNIMPRESSED LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE)

PEACH: Um, well, I'm kind of used to it.

MARIO: Is Bowser ever going to die.

PEACH: Who knows. He's reincarnated a million times!

MARIO: Mmmm,hmmmm.

PEACH: Please save me, Mario.

(PEACH HANGS UP)

MARIO: She hung up. I know she's been kidnapped a bunch of times, but I won't let Bowser stop me! There's only 1 man to do the job! And that's...

(LUIGI RUNS IN)

LUIGI: Luigi!

(MARIO STARES AT HIM)

MARIO: There's only 1 man to do the job! And that's...

(TOAD, YOSHI AND TOADETTE RUN IN)

TOAD, YOSHI, TOADETTE: Us!

TOAD: What's going on?

MARIO: Peach has been kidnapped again.

TOADETTE: Not again!

YOSHI: Bowser! That jerk!

LUIGI: Can I come?

(DAISY RUNS IN)

DAISY: Me too?

LUIGI: Daisy!

DAISY: Luigi!

(DAISY AND LUIGI HUG. ROSALINA RUNS IN)

ROSALINA: I can be of assistance!

(TOADSWORTH RUNS IN)

TOADSWORTH: I can come too!

MARIO: Ugh! All of you can come!

LUIGI, TOAD, TOADETTE, YOSHI, DAISY, ROSALINA, TOADSWORTH: YAY!

MARIO: Unless...

(ALL STARE AT MARIO)

MARIO: You actually help me save Peach. So, there's only 5 boys and 3 girls to do the job! And that's...

ALL: Us!
