Toad's Turnpike - 3:00:00 AM
Driving as fast as he can, Mario continues down Toad's Turnpike to get away from the police.
Wario: How you going to get out of this situation Mario?
Mario looks around his car for something to use. There, in the back seat was a red turtle shell. He didn't hesitate to pick it up and launch it out the back window.
Officer1: Mario just threw something at us
Officer2: LOOK OUT!!!
The turtle shell collides and the three police cars following crash in a big car heap. Mario turns off the turnpike and continues on to the park.
Officer: All units in the Park District, be on the look out for a red pick up truck. Capture immediately.

Mushroom Castle - 3:06:01 AM
Toad is typing away on the computer and suddenly the phone rings, but Henry runs up and picks it up.
Henry: King's advisor here
Officer: Mario is currently on the run from us. Right now he's in the park district
Henry: Get all the Police and Lakitu Clouds out there and find him. Use any force necessary. That's an order!
Henry slams down the phone
Henry: What did I tell you, Mario is a trader
Toad: I don't know. Something still doesn't seem right
Yoshi was listening in on the whole thing and runs outside with Tim observing him. As soon as Yoshi gets outside he gets to a pay phone and calls Mario
Yoshi: Come on. Pick up. Mario
Mario: Yoshi? Listen, you caught me at a bad time
Yoshi: No, tell me the truth now. What's going on?
Wario: Don't tell him Mario
Mario: I can't tell you. I'm sorry but you have to trust me
Yoshi: We've been friends for a long time. Just tell me
Mario hangs up and Yoshi just looks at the phone confused
Yoshi: Maybe the disk was right

Mushroom Kingdom - Park District 3:10:30 AM
Mario is driving down a long narrow street when suddenly there is a wall of police driving in front of him. He quickly turns around and there's a wall of police behind him. Unsure what to do, he starts to panic. One of the officers walks out of his car with a loud speaker
Officer: We have you surrounded Mario! Surrender now, you are risking your life!
Mario: I guess I have no choice
Wario: Giving up Mario?
Mario: Never
The stand off lasts for a few minutes. Out of nowhere, Mario kicks his car into high gear using Mushroom Power driving straight at the police. The officers start to panic.
Mario: Now!
Combined with a boost of energy, hitting the breaks, and turning to the left suddenly the car flips into the air, over the police officers and landing on it's wheels perfectly allowing Mario to drive off freely. The officer throws his hat to the ground
Officer: Darn!
Mario: Yahoo! Mama meya what a move!
Wario: You got lucky Mario
Mario: Who cares
Suddenly, his front right tire pops and Mario's car flips out and crashes into a item shop. While slightly injured, he pulls himself out of the car still ready to run. The police weren't far behind.
Mario: Where to go now?
Wario: Tell you what, I'm going to give you a one up. Head for the Park District Mall, you may find something good there
Mario: Okay
3:17:29 AM
Mario starts running towards the mall with the police close behind. There was a party going on at the time for the celebration of Princess Peach becoming queen. There were plenty of cars and Mario slid under one of them.
Officer1: Dang, we lost him!
Officer2: I saw him run towards the mall! Everyone spread out!
The officers started looking around the lot for Mario. Mario continued to duck under cars to keep one step ahead, then his opportunity came. A drunk guy was getting into his car, so Mario ran over to him
Mario: Excuse me sir?
Drunk: What?
Mario: You look too drunk to drive. Mind if I drive you home?
Drunk: Oh, sure
Taking the keys, he got in and started to drive off. All was going well until
Drunk: Hey, aren't you Mario?
Mario: Yes
Drunk: Cool! (Sticks head out Window) Hey everyone, I in a car with Mario!
Mario: Mama meya!
The police takes notice and quickly get into their car to give chase. Mario slams down on the pedal

Mushroom Castle - 3:24:20 AM
Tim is on the phone
Tim: All right. Go to level four action
Tim hangs up the phone and turns to the people
Tim: All right everyone, Mario has just taken a hostage
Toad: What is it with you and making Mario look like a bad guy
Tim: As I've said before. I'm not taking any chances. By the way, where's Yoshi?
Yoshi: Right here
Yoshi walks in
Tim: I don't want you out of my sight. You're a good friend of Mario, how do I know you're not working with him
Yoshi: You're turning this into a witch hunt. The king would never act like this
Tim just stares into his eyes and then walks off. Mallow walks up to Yoshi
Mallow: I tell you, those three are acting very weird
Yoshi: I hear that
***
Park District - 3:30:51 AM
Mario takes a sudden left and drives into the forest
Drunk: Mario? This isn't the way back to my house?
Mario: We're taking a short cut
Drunk: Cool
They continue down a unpredictable path avoiding trees and bushes. The police isn't far behind and the car continues to get scratched up
Drunk: Mario! Look out!
Up ahead was a cliff
Mario: Jump!
Mario opens the door, grabs the drunk, and jumps out the side just as the car flies over the cliff. After landing, they run for it as the car burst into flames as it hits the bottom. Out of view from the police, they drive up and see the explosion
Officer: This is Officer Dave. Suspect has driven over cliff and is presumed dead

Mushroom Castle - 3:36:15 AM
Don: What? Really? Are you sure? Okay
Don hangs up the phone
Don: Everyone listen up! Mario may have been killed in a car crash! They are still looking for a body, but I have advised officers to still be on alert.
Everyone: What?
Yoshi: What happened?
Don: From eyewitness reports from cops, Mario drove a stolen car over a cliff
Toad: Darn
Yoshi: Hmm...
Yoshi walks back out side and Tim walks up to him
Tim: I thought I told you to keep in my sight
Yoshi: Hey, I have to make a phone call
Tim: Too bad
***
Park Forest - 3:40:01 AM
Mario starts running for it while the cops observe the crash
Drunk: Where are we going Mario?
Wario: Yah, where are you going to go Mario?
Mario: Listen to me carefully. You're home is that way. Go that way and don't stop
Mario pointed where the police were
Mario: Don't tell anyone I was here, okay?
Drunk: But why?
Mario: It's for the sake of the princess
Drunk: OH! Okay, anything for the princess
The drunk stumbles off in the cops direction
Mario: Mama meya. Okay Wario, I'm near Mushroom Park. Where are you
Wario: Just keep wandering until you see a yellow car
Mario: Ok...
Mario suddenly hears cops come his way
Mario: Darn
Mario runs and jumps into the trees to get away from the cops. They are looking around
Officer: Darn, we lost him again
Mario: Man, what was I thinking
Suddenly, his cell phone starts to ring
Mario: No
The officers look up and there he is
Officer: Freeze (pulls out fire flower)
Mario starts jumping from tree to tree to get away. Along the way he picks up the phone
Yoshi: Mario?
Mario: Yoshi?! Man, you caught me at a bad time
Yoshi: Sorry, but what you still haven't explain why you're doing this
Mario: As I've told you before, I can't sorry
Mario hangs up the phone leaving Yoshi to ponder
3:46:58 AM
Yoshi: What is he up to?
Suddenly Tim bursts into the office and rings Yoshi by the scruff of his neck
Tim: You! I've told you not to get out of my sight!
Tim throws him across the room and rings him by his neck again
Tim: This is a time of crisis! Quit defying me!
Yoshi had enough and punched Tim in the face with his tongue and started beating the crud out of Tim. Some guards came in and restrained Yoshi
Tim: Take him away boys. He's working with Mario
Yoshi: You won't get away with this Tim
Everyone watches as Yoshi is taken to the down stares prison
Guard: That should hold you
Yoshi: Let me out of here!
***
Mushroom Park - 3:51:22 AM
Mario finally looses the cops and starts searching around the yellow car. After a few minutes of searching, there's Wario sitting in his car. Mario walks up and takes the ear piece out
Mario: Wario! I'm here
Wario gets out of is car
Wario: Wow you made it, but sadly you're brother isn't here
Mario: What? You said I had till six
Wario: You do, but I have one more task for you to do
Mario: No way
Wario: Okay, if you don't want to see you're brother again
Mario: Fine, what is it?
Wario: Take this Parcel
Mario: It's not a bomb, is it?
Wario: Why yes it is. What I need you to do is set it on Golden Shroom Bridge
Mario: That's on the other side of the city
He hits Wario's car
Wario: Hey, watch it. Just get it there before six and then you can have your brother back
Mario: Okay
Wario: And also, here's the key to activate the Babomb. You'll have about ten seconds. Plus, here's a car so you can get there. We need that bridge destroyed
Wario uncovers a bush and reveals a Blue VW Beetle
Wario: Good luck Mario. You'll need it
Mario: I can't wait till you die
Wario: Ha...
Mario gets in and starts driving off south towards the Golden Shroom Bridge, but then he takes out what looks like a palm pilot
Mario: Let's see if it works
A dot starts flashing on a map
Mario: Yes! The tracking device works! Now I can rescue Luigi and Peach
Mario turns his car around and follows Wario's car
