Mario and Goombario had started the long journey through Pleasant Path hoping they would soon see the Koopa Bros Fortress. A few enemies, mostly Goombas, were scattered along the way but nothing to serious. As they walked Goombario and Mario talked quietly.

"I sure hope the Koopa Bros aren't too hard to defeat. I mean we've taken quite a beating already and I don't know how much longer I can hold up." said Goombario, he started to slow his walking.

"Koopa Village isn't too far from here we can rest there." explained Mario. "Come on it was only a few Goombas anyway!" taunted Mario.

Not long after that the two came across an area where the path split into two ways, one leading downwards and the other continuing straight forward.

"Okay now if I remember right the path, going down leads to the village." said Mario while starting to go into deep thought.

"You've traveled the whole Mushroom Kingdom and you're not sure which way the village is!" exclaimed the Goomba; growing impatient he began looking through the area.

"You can't remember everything." stated Mario.

Drowning Mario out, Goombario noticed a sign that was only a few feet away; he walked over and looked at it.

Koopa Village down.

Koopa Bros Fortress straight.

"The sign says the village is down that path going down." said Goombario motioning with his head.

It took Mario a moment to understand what the Goomba had just said.

"Okay let's a go!" yelled Mario, he waited for Goombario to go first still not sure.

After they had traveled down the path Goombario had motioned at they entered the village. Only to see the Koopa Bros with a cage full of Fuzzies. The Fuzzies were trapped inside by wooden bars, one side of which opened up. Mario and Goombario started listening to what was being said, while they hid behind the nearest house which was a Toad House.

"If you won't surrender your village then you're gonna pay!" threatened the red Koopa bro, holding a small wooden handle that apparently would open one of the cage's sides.

One of the Koopa villagers who was near by, apparently the towns spokesmen yelled back at them.

"We will never surrender to you! You disgrace our Koopa clan!"

The red Koopa didn't seem to be expecting this response.

"Then…………………….take this!" yelled the red Koopa bro.

He then pulled the wooden handle and all the fuzzies jumped out and started chasing the Koopa villagers. When one of the Fuzzies caught a villager it would steal the Koopa shell that they wore.

"Let's go!" yelled the green Koopa bro, worried that his shell would be stolen.

"Yeah I for one want my shell on my back!" yelled the green one.

Back by the Toad House Goombario and Mario were talking about what they should do when suddenly the Koopa Bros Started walking toward the exit of the town.

"Mario what do we do?" asked Goombario, he started jumping around nervously.

"We ambush them. If we take them here unprepared we'll have a better chance at beating them than if they get to there fortress." without saying anything more Mario jumped out from behind the Toad House right in front of the Koopa Bros.

"Hey its Mario again!" yelled black Koopa.

"Let's get him!" yelled yellow.

"Hold your shells!" yelled red Koopa. "We retreat back to our fortress for now!"

"But…….!"

"No butts…..I mean buts follow me!" at this the red Koopa bro went into his shell and started spinning, the other did the same, they then released their power from spinning and sped toward Mario and Goombario knocking them a side and leaving the village.

"Mario come on we NEED TO CATCH THEM!" yelled Goombario, he got up and started running after them.

"WAIT!" shouted Mario. "We need to help these villagers first!"

Goombario stopped at this.

"Okay but lets hurry." said Goombario walking over and head bonking a nearby Fuzzy.

Mario walked over and smacked another Fuzzy with his hammer, the Fuzzy dropped a Koopa shell he had stolen and the owner of the shell came over and put it on his back.

"Thank you so much!" giddily the Koopa jumped around, and then he headed for the Toad House for safety.

Mario and Goombario were smacking the Fuzzies left and right and more of the villagers thanked them. This went on for some time until they didn't see anymore Fuzzies.

"I…think…we…did…it……Mario…" said Goombario, panting heavily.

Before Mario could respond the town spokesman of the village came out of the Toad House. He was just an ordinary Koopa with the usual shell and yellow face.

"Thank you again Mario!" said the Koopa, at this Goombario was a little upset he didn't get any credit. "The Koopa Bros have recently gone crazy attacking our village and making their Bob-bomb workers slave for hours. They used to be kind and nice, they even helped us villagers when we got attacked by the Fuzzies. Now they use that as means to try and take over our village. I don't understand why they suddenly became like this…some of the Bob-bomb workers escaped the Koopa Bros. Fortress. Maybe they have some ideas about the Koopa Bros sudden change, why don't you go ask them."

"Thanks for the info." said Mario. "We'll go do that right away."

Goombario just looked as if he didn't hear a word the spokesman had said.

As they entered the second part of the village which was farther in than the first part, they saw a house with a huge blue shell on it, which served as roof, it was flying up in the air repeatedly and the whole house was shaking.

"Maybe we should check out that house." said Goombario.

As they approached Mario knocked on the door.

"Can't you just open it I mean your Mario!" questioned Goombario, he began to tap his foot.

"You always have to be polite, it generates a polite response." said Mario.

The door opened and out stepped a Koopa shell-less.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT A STUPID FUZZY STOLE MY SHELL AND NOW I'M FORCED TO WALK AROUND LIKE THIS!!" yelled the Koopa. "NOW THAT YOU MADE ME STEP OUTSIDE WHY DON"T YOU GO GET IT BACK!!" without anything else to say the Koopa shoved Mario and Goombario into his house and shut the door.

The Fuzzy saw the two and quickly opened the back door in an attempt to escape the fate that he saw his other Fuzzy friends had befallen. Mario and Goombario took off after him. When they finally caught him he just dropped the blue shell and ran.

"Well that was easy." said Goombario.

At that moment the Koopa who yelled at them came running up happily and crawled into the blue shell.

"Thank you so much!" he yelled happily. "Sorry about yelling and making you get my shell back, its just that I can't stand being shell-less." said the Koopa. "Hey I know you, your Mario the guy I bumped into at the party at Peach's Castle!"

"Oh yeah, hey Kooper I didn't recognize you without your shell." said Mario.

"So what are you doing here anyway?" asked the Koopa.

"Well it all began when………………….."

Goombario who had told the tale was just getting up to the here and now.

"So then we bumped into you and there you go!" ended the Goomba.

Mario suddenly not hearing Goombario's voice woke up.

"Oh okay." said Kooper. "Well how about I join you on your adventure that way I can be even with you guys for getting my shell back."

Kooper joined your party. With Kooper you can send him in his shell at far away objects. He won't take no for an answer so you might as well get used to him. Also if his shell gets stolen who knows what he might say.

"Lets a go!" said Mario and the two followed him out of Koopa Village.
