• The Overpass Bridge •
Mario spends all day playing all kinds of sports with his friends at a park. When it became nighttime everyone headed home separately. Mario rode home with his kart. On the way Mario decided to take a short cut home. Mario continued riding down an empty road through the dark forest, until he comes a cross an overpass bridge. When Mario got closer he recognize the overpass bridge, it was the Bunny Star Bridge. In the past, Mario has heard people telling each other, when visiting Forest of Illusion Park not to take the road that leads to Bunny Star Bridge. Mario usually doesn't stick around and hears why, but he does know that the reason they call it Bunny Star Bridge, is due to Star Bunnies being found around that area.
Right when Mario was about to enter through the bridge, a hachet was thrown from the woods, and hit the right side of his kart, almost hitting one of the wheels. Mario stop his kart in front of the bridge and stared directly where the hatchet was thrown. Mario sees a dark figure a few feet away standing next to trees. Mario couldn't 100% see the person clearly due it being night.
"What the heck was that?! You could of hurt someone!", yelled Mario.
"You are trespassing on private property, leave now or else", said the dark figure.
"What do mean?! No one owns this road, and if you did, you should have private property signs and a blockade preventing people from entering this road!", said Mario.
The dark figure turns around and started walking deep into the woods.
"Hey identify yourself! I'm not letting this slip!", yelled Mario.
Mario grab a flashlight from his kart, while at the same time picking up and putting away the hatchet in his pocket. Mario went into the woods to go find the dark figure.
Mario countinued walking in the woods until he spotted a cabin from a distance. When Mario got closer towards the cabin, he steps on something squashy on the ground. Mario looks down and spots a dead Star Bunny with its guts cut out. Mario then shines his flashlight around the area, and sees a bunch of Dead Star Bunnies, with their guts also cut out, all over the place. Mario is deeply disturbed on what he's seeing. Then the cabin door swings open, there standing in front of the cabin's enterance is the dark figure who threw the hatchet at Mario's kart. Thanks to the cabin lights being on, Mario can see the dark figure clearly. It turns out the dark figure is a Koopa Troopa wearing a mask and cape made out of Star Bunnies, with blood dripping from both outfits. Mario then notices that the Koopa Troopa is carrying an axe on his hands. Right away Mario runs back to his kart planning to escape from the axe wielding Koopa Troopa, and leave the area entirely. The Koopa Troopa then chase after Mario into the woods.
"I told you to leave or else! Now you're going to face the consequences for trespassing on my property!", yelled the Koopa Troopa.
Mario kept on running until he finally sees his kart from a distance. Mario looks back and sees the Koopa Troopa running closer towards him at rapid speed. Mario continues running for a bit and finally got into his kart.
"Your not getting out of here alive!"
Mario sees the Koopa Troopa a few feet away from him, ready to swing his axe on him.
Mario remembers the hatchet he had in his pocket. He quickly pulls it out and throws it at the Koopa Troopa. The hatchet pierced into the Koopa Troopa's left leg. The Koopa Troopa lets out a loud scream and collapses on the ground in pain. Mario turns on his kart and drives away from both the Koopa Troopa and the Bunny Star Overpass Bridge.

Ending Narration:
What Mario didn't know, he just encountered the infamous Bunny Star Koopa.
People who took the road that leads to Bunny Star Bridge in the Forest of Illusion Park have told stories about encountering a Koopa Troopa wearing a bloody mask and cape, who's always armed with an axe or a hatchet. People first began talking about the Bunny Star Koopa after two incidents that happen in November that has spread throughout the citizens that live around the area.
The first incident happen in November 1st, when a Toad couple who were returning home from a panic, stop on the side of the road close to Bunny Star Bridge, to change one of their car tires. After finishing, the couple noticed something coming out of the woods near their car's rear window. A few seconds later their car's front window was smashed by a hatchet. There standing next to their car on the passenger side, is a Koopa Troopa wearing a bloody mask and cape made out of Star Bunnies. The Koopa Troopa threaten the couple to leave because they were on private property.
The second incident happen in November 11th, a hiking Yoshi stumbled upon a cabin located near Bunny Star Bridge. The Yoshi spotted a Koopa Troopa, wearing a mask and cape dripping blood, on the porche. The Koopa Troopa yelled to the Yoshi to leave his property or he'll chop up the dinosaur into pieces.
Both incidents were reported to the authorities. During the investigation around the area the authorities found no one, though they did find the cabin, but on one was there, and it looks abandon. The only things they found are dead Star Bunnies with their guts cut out, all over the area.
Eventually both investigations of the incidents came to a close, and the Koopa Troopa was never found.
Despite that, many people who have taken the road to Bunny Star Bridge, have claim to seen a Koopa Troopa wearing a bloody mask and cape, armed with an axe or a hatchet.
Because of these incidents the citizens who live around the area has dubbed this Koopa Troopa, the Bunny Star Koopa; a hostile hermit Koopa who threatens people with an axe or a hatchet, whenever they try to drive through the Bunny Star Overpass Bridge.
