Chapter 2: Let's Jump, Man

Last time, our hero had a rude awakening when he was hit by a chemical explosion. Instead of dying however, he was transported to the Mushroom Kingdom. He was also thrust into one of Mario's escapades to save Princess Toadstool, aka Peach. When he decided to help, a hammer bro summoned a bunch of enemies as reinforcements. Matt replied by shouting, "Holy crap!"

Date: Untranslatable, Time: ≈4:30 pm, Location: Acorn Plains

Right after Matt's outburst, the lakitu dropped a ton of spinys. The spinys & goombas then charged at our two heroes. Mario easily dodged with a jump onto the floating blocks while Matt ran towards a "?" block. He got the desired fire flower then proceeded to burn a good chunk of the enemies to ashes, including the hammer bro that summoned the enemies. Mario hit the distracted survivors with his hammer. Unfortunately, they still had to deal with the whomps, sumo bros., & lakitu. The sumo bros. used the shockwaves of their jumps to try to knock the heroes off balance, but Matt was able to avoid that. Mario wasn't so lucky, & got hit by spinys, courtesy of lakitu. "You're really pissing me off." Matt said this as he hit the lakitu at point blank range with a fireball. After that, he landed on every sumo bro without touching the ground. Mario was finishing up the whomps with his hammer.

Mario said, "Thanks for the assist, but who are you?" Matt explained what happened & how he believes the chemicals altered his DNA so that he was stronger. "I should ask, is this world inside a video game?"

"No. The Mushroom World is 100% real."

"Huh. Do you know of any other worlds?"

"Actually, yes. Egad discovered a dimension called Mobius after making a transporter."

"I know of that place. In my dimension, it's the video game world where Sonic the Hedgehog lives."

"Huh. Anyway, we should get moving. Peach won't be able to save herself. She forgot Perry at Daisy's." And so, our heroes proceeded to Bowser's Keep, where a dangerous new foe awaited alongside Bowser. Little did everyone know, the dimensions were about to be involved in an all-out war.
