Mario and his friends were at the 'Koopa and Kailey Circus'. They observed the various freaks being displayed in cages such as a Chain Chomp mixed with a Ptooey.
"It's nice to see these weirdos in cages for once," Mario said, although he had never seen anything as freaky as that. He shrugged and took a bite out of his corn dog. "It's about time we got a day off for fun."
"I'm hungry," Luigi complained.
"Why didn't ya get a corn dog like me?"
"Did you see the nutrition value on those? I'm watching my figure, here."
"Watch your figure? You're as thin as rails!" the Mushroom King spoke up. He was tagging along with the Princess and Toad.
"Luigi has a point. I wouldn't personally eat anything from a circus.." Peach agreed.
"Whatever, more for me!" Toad shouted, burying his face in a cup of popcorn half the size of him.
Luigi pouted and looked at his watch. The trapeze act and tightrope walkers wouldn't be showing for another hour.
"Now what? The freak show is...well...freaking me out!"
"Hey!" Toad yelled as he lifted his head from the popcorn, "Let's have a picture taken in that tent over there."
"That's not a bad idea, I am wearing one of my new dresses," Peach added.
They headed to the tent. Outside it, it had a sign:
CANDID SNAPSHOTS OF YOU WITH THE RICH AND FAMOUS
Inside, there was life-sized cardboard cutouts of the King, Peach, and Mario. There were also props with binoculars, a shower stall, and a window. They weren't kidding about the candid part.
"People are weird," Mario said simply.
The friends lined up in front of a giant camera. The moment they stood on the "x" spots the camera man shouted-
"Okaynowsmilesuckers!" A blinding flash goes off.
After a few seconds Mario's vision cleared, but something was terribly wrong.

Author note : This was the first Nintendo Adventure Book I read and honestly, it's not best. The story itself is fine, but the book is well... confusing (it's a CYOA so you can already imagine how things can go wrong). You can find the text online though, if you're curious. It does have plenty of material to either rewrite or parody so stay tuned for next time!
