Up in the disturbance of King Koopa's castle, the Mushroom Princess is being held captive against her will deeply frightened and all alone in this dreaded dungeon tower in tears hoping for a miracle to happen, up in the throne room King Koopa was intrigued that he's got the princess and his minions won't have to worry about her secret ability to change all of this, leaving one of his visiting cousins Rari the youngest who Koopa picked as the next air to the throne in case he was no longer around to question why they're keeping her alive, Koopa roughly told him that it aint any of his concern whether they should have her dead or alive replying that they have at least caught her and made sure she won't escape while Rari along with the rest of Koopa's cousins Morton, Kootie the only female koopaling, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwick were keeping most of the non-stoned toads alive and captive in their own castles as their prisoners and slaves, and no one not even one human could stop them... at least what they thought.
Meanwhile, Mario strolled over to Cookie Hill with the rock guiding him through, the whole landscape looked nothing like a cookie but who was he to blame since everything else was all topsy-turvy anyway, just then Mario got spotted by more enemies next to the mountain side coming down the platform, this time it was two of those same old menacing turtles from the sewers except this time they were a kinda tall and standing on two legs this time which turned out to be the koopas, koopa troopas to be exact, Mario didn't found this to be too surprising but as they charging towards him the daring plumber charges at them giving the nearest one a big kick in the stomach, the koopa kneels down and Mario jumps on top of it's head scaring it back into it's shell. The other koopa gets a little scared too taking a few steps back, "That's-a right-a you and what army." said Mario, ironically enough four more koopa troopas kept coming down from the platform side of the mountain to get him, Mario didn't know whether he should take one of these mushrooms from the bag given by Geno and eat it, even though Geno never mentioned anything about eating them before he disapeared, but Mario didn't like eating any mushrooms (for... some good reasons) which just frustrated him even more when they were getting closer to him. Infuriated by by his deicision the plumber kicked the koopa's shell so hard it went swirling it's way sliding up the towards the other koopa troops including that one goomba knocking them off the platform and hit the ground! "Well-a that did the trick-a." he gloated.
As the rock blinked that big long platform around this grassland mountain was were Mario had to go, all the way up through the platform trail up to the tip top which was going to kill his legs alot, in his opinion. But the trail didn't take too long since the mountain was only about say 5 feet high, Mario finally made it to the top and had to relax his legs for a minute, but then he comes across something floating in the middle, it was some kind of square shaped box floating perfectly still in the air with a little round glowing spot on the bottom, if this was one of the boxes Geno told him about then what does he have to loose, however Mario didn't know how to open it, he jumped up to it and climbed on it to find the opening part, nothing worked, he had no knife or anything to unpackaged it, Mario started making another fuss on how he's suppose to do all this he just flat out jump and punched it from the bottom and the box bursted open and out came what was inside, nothing but some little red flower type daisy, "This-a is-a it, this-a is also one your most powerful magical-a things you sent me?...What-a kind of joker do you-a... WHOA!" surprised Mario after picking up the flower and touched it his whole body changed, specifically his clothes! Mario had no Idea what that item just did, some kind of spell zaps all over him and after a light quickly flashed his clothes were transformed, his hat and his overalls were white and the flower was gone. Something else came to up to Mario, popped from out of the mountain top ground came a big gopher or mole looking critter who seemed friendly at first but then bit him after coming near the thing to pet it, another popped out and the two kept throwing dirt at him irritating the plumber, but Mario's had enough of this and from out of nowhere blasted fire at them after raising his fist at them with after his annoyance causing those little varmints to retreat back into their hole! Mario was now surprised again after learning his new abilities, "... ...Oh yeah!" satisfied the plumber with sunshine pride.
The amulet blinked once again pointing Mario to the north east path where there was a bridge, a big 500 foot long bridge leading up to the other mountain top nearby. So Mario went down the bridge not seeing any danger just yet until he saw more goombas walking up to him ready to fight, Mario didn't need to use his fire power on those pests saving him the trouble not to burn down this wooden bridge that was only half sturdy, he just jumped on all four through the bridge squishing them without slipping off, but was pretty close! He eventually made it to the other side without any koopas or goombas or other creatures showing up and sees another inanimate object standing in the middle of the top except it wasn't more of those floating boxes, it was another one of them big green man sized water pipes, Mario had to think again since this was where the rock pointed him to and it still kept blinking him the way going down through there again, but he didn't want to waste anymore time, he climbed up and went down once again not wondering whether this might lead him back to Brooklyn or not.
The end of the pipe instead warped him down into a deep dark cave not knowing where to go because he didn't have his flashlight with him, but the amulet blinked very bright enough to help Mario light the way. He carefully walked pass more sharp pointy rocks until he sees something crawling up his path, it almost like a koopa but different, this one crawled on four legs and had sharp pointed spikes on it's shell, Mario thought about jumping on top of this strange looking thing but it's sharp pointed spikes shield itself hurting Mario's foot bouncing back. So the plumber quickly used used his power shooting a fireball at him knocking it down and tumbled into a pit, Mario didn't want to fall into more those that were scattered around the cave so he had to slowly look down while walking through, then five more goombas approached him from out of the shadows, and he beated them all just about a second, "Momma mia, where do these things-a keep-a coming?" frustrated Mario trying to find a way out of this cave. After Mario went up a few rock steps he finds another koopa troopa and blasts it with more of his fireballs scaring it back into it's shell and kicks it out of the way, the plumber then finds a dead end at first but the blinking light pointed out to another large pipe this time connected to the wall pointing straight, and Mario went through hoping it will lead him outside, and so it did, he got out the other side and made it back to outdoors, but the sun was going to set soon, "I got to move fast-a!" he said.
