Princess Peach was standing at the centre of the wooden stage-area, holding up a small mike. Surrounding her were about 10 rows of seats, all filled to the capacity with yoshi's, goombas, and koopa's, and other assorted creatures.

Princess Peach smiled, at Yoshi, Mario, and Luigi. "We are here to honor these three hereos with medals...for the numerous times they have saved my life!" Two flying koopas immediately fly overhead, and dropped 3 medals. A blue belted one for Yoshi, a red hanging one for Mario, and a green pin one for Luigi. The medals landed on the ground in front of their feet, and Peach approached them.

Suddenly the sky darkened. Thousands of flying koopas were making their way to the stage-area. Princess Peach shrieked, and ducked and dodged. The flying koopas were carrying passengers, little goobas and they threw these periodically.

Mario and Luigi reacted. Mario grabbed his fire flower, and swallowed it whole. Luigi grabbed a hold of one of the friendly koopas, and quickly rode it towards the swarm of enemies. Luigi was going from koopa to koopa, disabling each, while Mario was shooting off powerful little fireballs.

"Aggggghhhh!! I can't move!" screamed Luigi. Mario looked up, and Luigi appeared to be covered in something sticky. His steed had trouble flying and looked as if it had wing trouble. Mario looked around, and saw that the flying koopas had all landed on the stage area, and they were all headed towards him.

Mario ran towards Luigi, and grabbed a hold of the koopa in one hand. He jumped off the castle, and they fell...
