Welcome aboard this new adventure. This story will be about Mario's heroic start, you know his very first adventure, when he saved a woman from a berserk gorilla?; yeah, Donkey Kong, I decided to name it Jump Man because that was Mario's name in Donkey Kong

Note: This fanfic is a bit darker than a normal Mario game, you were warned

Prologue

-Toad Town, Mushroom Kingdom, 1985.

Note: Play Toad Town-Paper Mario for ambiance

What seems to be a distant and unreal location, it turns out that it is not, this place is just below you, or we could say something like that to make things easier. What is important is that there is a fantastic world where kings and queens, warriors and dragons, sorcerers and villagers still exist and are incredibly common.

Welcome to the world of the Mushroom Kingdom, a place inhabited by beings named Toads, small beings, with the head of fungus that were always smiling and being cheerful; their villages were a pretty simple place, the houses looked like mushrooms and all of them lived like any normal family would; the fathers went to work while the mothers care for the household and the children went to school.

They were governed by a monarchy, the king wasn't the only one with power because he always had to his hand, the counselors and senators who would always be aware of him and everything on the kingdom. The royal guard wasn't well trained because they fought only two wars and had zero internal conflicts, all citizens were respected, anyone of any species was welcome and the number one rule of the kingdom was always to be in a good mood.

Surely, this would seem like the dream of a very hyperactive child.

It was a quiet and warm day, the birds were singing, the Toads were walking and doing their daily routines, the guards were telling jokes and at the same time monitoring all the people; the whole place was filled with life. The castle of the Kingdom Mushroom was quite beautiful this day; the castle was three floors tall plus a basement, its walls were white and the roof was red, had multiple windows, multiple towers and it was surrounded by hills.

Inside, the palace had a white floor and even the walls are very clean, you could easily see the reflectance of every object on all the ground, the columns that supported the place were white too and well maintained.

The King Toadsworth was 30 years old, he had a large black mustache, always worn a red jacket and white trousers; he was sitting on his throne reviewing a lot of paperwork, and had his two guards monitoring the place in case of an attack.

One of the guards came in with a basket on his hands, said basket had three babies in them. Toadsworth was so moved by the babies' adorableness that he left the throne and went to embrace them and give them kisses.

"Awww, this fellas are so cute!", Toadsworth sprinted towards the basket at the same time he plays with the little fellas.

The guards couldn't take it and started to laugh at sight of their king doing such a thing, they could not believe that the man was going to do that.

Toadsworth was making cute voices for the babies, started to play "where's is the baby?" and even start to carry them like they were his children.

Two of them were males and also brothers, they had larges noses, blue eyes and brown hair; they were wearing two caps, one had a green cap with an L on the forehead and the other one had a red cap with an M on the forehead too. The other one was a girl of yellow hair and blue eyes, her nose was refined. The babies were probably around 2 years old considering their small size.

"Who threw away this fellas, Sergeant Timbo?", Toadsworth tells to his guard, on a tender tone while carrying the three babies in his arms.

That was the Toad's name, he was a 40 year old guard that was very good at everything related to combat, and somehow he was already being defeated by his age.

"They were found in Yoshi's Island, it seems like they were attacked by the Koopas on the zone since we haven't found their parents", The Guard Timbo said on a concerned tone.

"The Koopa Troop? But, why?", Toadsworth asked, looking very concerned while going to sit on his throne with the babies on his arms.

"We have no idea, but look, they are safe", Timbo responds to his king on a tone that still sounded concerned.

The baby with the red cap grabbed and pulled the king's moustache very hard, the one with the green cap started to suck his thumb while the other one climbed to the top the king's head. He and the guard began to discuss what names should they put to the children.

"The little red one is quite lively", Toadsworth tells the guard while holding the baby.

"What about we call him Mario? It is a pretty happy suits him, just look at him go", Timbo speaks on a quite happy tone.

"Mario" began to tenderly embrace Toadsworth. The green capped baby began to cry because he felt alone, luckily Timbo decided to carry him, give him a hug to calm him down, surprisingly he calmed down incredibly fast.

"Then we can call this one, Luigi, because he is a crybaby", Toadsworth speaks in a happy tone while still embracing Mario.

The other baby sat in the king's legs, she was swaying and doing small noises as if she was a plane. The king loved this and put her between his arms, he decided to name it.

"You're a cute one. What if we call you, Peach?", Toadsworth speaks to the baby while carrying it.

The baby loved her name and began to laugh, Mario and Luigi began to applaud and laugh equally. Timbo looks directly to Toadsworth and proposes something to him.

"I can stay with the two boys? I could train them and turn them into heroes; hehe, what do you think? They might even be able to beat the Koopa Troop if they train hard enough", Timbo happily speaks to Toadsworth while staring at the two brothers.

"I really like the girl, so. Yes, it seems to well to me", Toadsworth speaks on a tranquil tone while rises up from the throne and handed to the two babies to Timbo.

Mario and Luigi began to tinker with Timbo's face while they were being carried out of the castle, the king sat on the throne with Peach and he continued playing with her, making funny faces and playing "Oopsie Daisy".

Timbo could not believe it, he never managed to find love or start a family since he was a "Lone Wolf", a price to pay when you are extremely focused. But now, he had two little things to care of. He also wondered about why the Koopa Troop would attack two adorable creatures.

People in the village stopped doing their usual activities to look at the two babies, they were the found "off" by some and others got disgusted; others went to see them and played with them for a while; some children that passed by joked about the babies' aspect and some even wanted to play with them.

Timbo's house had one floor, the painting was of the same color as Timbo's head, had a few windows. In the inside there was a bed, a dining table, a refrigerator, a gas stove and a television, also everything smelled old.

"I don't have much, but it will surely be enough", Timbo said to the kids, as if they could understand him.

The kids fell asleep on his arms, they did not make a single noise and they were not moving, so he just put them on the bed, he covered them with some short sheets he had close by, then he left the house and closed it, because he had to go out to buy several stuff the for babies.
