Episode 4: Delfino Plaza! Shine Get!

Last time, Ken and Yoshette had begun their journey, and thanks to some great teamwork, they managed to capture the first of King Boo's subjects. With forty-nine left to go, it'll be tough to catch them, but no one ever said it was easy in the first place.

On Corona Mountain, in some weird mansion, Water Mario and King Boo were watching the panicked villagers. "Hah! Look at them run. A little graffiti and my Boo subjects are all we need to scare the heck out of them.", King Boo said. "Don't get too confident. We're waiting for Mario and Luigi so we can get our revenge."

One of King Boo's subjects entered the throne room. "Excuse me, sire. We've lost one of our subjects to a Poltergust 3000.", he said. "What? I guess that means Mario and Luigi are here.", the regal Boo replied. "Well, not exactly. The D.E.B.S. (Delfino Emergency Broadcast System) says that two other people are cleaning up the island. It appears that they are close friends of Mario and Luigi. Their names are Ken and Yoshette."

"Ken? Yoshette? Ah, I remember now. The main partnership when it comes to adventuring. So, they're here on the island. I may have lost Mama Peach, but I'm NOT losing Yoshette. Bring her to me, and as for Ken, eliminate him.", Water Mario said.

Back in Delfino Plaza, Ken was cleaning up a bunch of graffiti with his FLUDD when he noticed something sparkle. "What is that thing?", he asked. Yoshette walked up to the mess and looked at the sparkle. "That's a Shine Sprite. They're the main source of power here. Clean it off and we'll take it with us.", she said.

Ken continued to clean the graffiti, when the Shine Sprite hovered over him, waiting for him to take it. He reached up and grabbed it. "Shine Get!", he called out. He put the Shine Sprite in his pocket (they shrink if you're wondering why), then went off in search of more Shine Sprites and Boos.

"All right Yoshette, you're coming with me!", the Boo subject said, unaware that she and Ken were long gone. "Aw nuts! Water Mario's going to have me as his personal graffiti target." He flew off to Corona Mountain, where Water Mario and King Boo were.

"You let Yoshette get away?!", Water Mario yelled at the Boo. "It's not my fault. They were gone when I got there.", he said. "When will I learn? If you want something done right, do it yourself." He grabbed his paintbrush and headed to Delfino Plaza in an attempt to make Yoshette his, one way or another.

Can Yoshette avoid Water Mario's kidnapping, while she and Ken get the remaining Shine Sprites and Boos? Find out in Episode 5 of "Sunshine Mansion".
