Laura, Marc, and Peter were walking down a hill when Laura spotted something up ahead. "Hey guys." she said,"Is it me or does that look like a ? block?" The two boys looked to see what Laura was seeing. a box like shape, floating in mid air, and it was the color of gold. "You're right! It is a ? block." Peter said. "I call hitting it!" Laura said as she ran to the item. "Ah no fair." Marc moaned. When Laura was right under it, she used her fist to punch the item block open. "Ow." she said rubbing her knuckles. "Are you ok?" Pete said when he and Marc catched up to her. "Yeah but it could have been worse like I could have broken my fist causing us to move slower and get attacked by.." "Laura you know you can't pull that trick on us." Marc said. Rolling her eyes she remembered about the block and look to see what item came out.

A leaf with eyes was floating down gently. "Hey look at that leaf, it has eyes." Laura said as she reached out to touch it. Only the tip of her finger touched the leaf and a cloud surrouned her. Before the boys reacted the cloud was gone and Laura was standing there with raccoon ears and a tail. "Hey I'm a raccoon. Coolz." Laura commented as she looked at her tail and ears. "Wow, you're so lucky Laura. Too bad we don't have any powers eh bro?" Marc said. Instead of replying to marc's comment, Peter was looking up at a orange mushroom with a propeller on it. Maybe I'll get raccoon powers if I touch that mushroom like Laura did. thought Peter. He tried to reach for it but the mushroom went up a little higher. Gaining all his strengh he jumped and reached out to the item.

Once again a cloud surrounded Pete but when it was gone instead of being a raccoon, he was in a blue suit with a propeller on the top of his head. "Um guys. I-I'm flying!" The two kids looked up to see Peter hovering above them. "No WAY. That's the propellar mushroom? Wow dad said how great those things are and now you Pete are the lucky one to try it." Marc said in amazement. Then Laura remembered something. When she was playing Super Mario Bros 3, raccoon powers can make you fly too. She then started to use her tail and sure enough she was off the ground, flying. "Awsome I can fly too." Laura smiled.

Too bad I don't have any flying powers. Then we could be able to find another warp pipe faster and see more stuff faster. Marc thought. As Laura was flying she didn't notice a odd creature with a cape on. the creature smiled and launched its self at Laura. Before Laura saw it Marc said "Laura look out!" He jumped and smashed the wierd creature to the ground but as he did this a feather appeared. "Aww yeah. here we go." Marc said as he grabbed the feather. He then had a cape on his back and was hovering in the air.

Before anything else happened Marc landed on the ground and called for Pete and Laura to come to the ground. "So we all have power ups." Marc started,"And sence we could all fly..." "We could cover more ground and.." Pete added knowing where this was going. "Find warp pipes that could lead back home." Laura finished. "Ok you guys. lets get to flying." Marc said already off the ground. With Laura and Pete close behind the kids countinued there search to get back home.
