Mario: City of Dreams
Chapter 2: Enter the Mind
Meanwhile, Mario is definitely NOT okay. He lost all consciousness. He sees himself plummeting down a huge tunnel in his 'dream'? It seemed so realistic. It seemed much too realistic for a mere dream. Just then he looked down. Ground was coming. He landed with a bang. Although it hurt, he was still well from the fall.
Mario: Mama-Mia! That really hurt! Mario had a look at his surroundings. They were not usual. They were completely unusual. Mario: Wait a minute.this isn't the Mushroom Kingdom.where the heck am I? Mario had a walk around, looking at everything. He wasn't sure what was going on here. Suddenly, he saw a kid. Mario: Hey kid, do you know where I am? Kid: That's easy Mr. Mario. You're in the City of Dreams. Mario: City of Dreams, eh.wait a minute, how did you know who I am? And who are you anyway? Kid: My name's Gary. Can you remember back to when you were still in Brooklyn? I was one of those kids walking by to get a pizza. The pizza shop was nearby, after all. Mario: Hey, yeah.wait a minute, how did you know I lived in somewhere else apart from Brooklyn? Gary: This is going to very hard to explain, so hold on tight. Ahem.you are still unconscious. This is what you know as 'your mind', but here we call it the City of Dreams. Mario: So in this place, everyone knows everything? Gary: Yes. Would you like me to demonstrate? Mario: You already did.
Gary: Of course. Anyway, the City of Dreams does not really have an end to itself. It goes as far as your mind can create it to be. Mario: So I think of a huge plain and I'm there? Suddenly, the city disappeared, and instantly, in it's place, there stood a huge, green plain. Mario: Cool! And if I think of Luigi, he'll be here? Gary: Unfortunately, no. You cannot bring characters to your mind as well, but you'll definitely see them. And now, it is your job to wake yourself up. Mario pinches himself. Nothing happens. Gary: Hahaha! You thought you were going to get out of your mind that easily? Think again! There's only one way to wake up, and that's to find the special item that will wake you up. However, I must warn you, you cannot transport yourself there. It goes to the deepest, darkest, stretches of your mind, and getting the item itself will not be easy. If you need my help, play this. Gary hands Mario a flute. *Mario got Gary's Flute!* Mario: O.K, I think I have everything under control here.for a while. Gary: Goodbye. Gary just vanishes into thin air Mario: Well then, I guess I'd better get set. I'd better explore the town first. Mario walks off into the town to save himself.
Meanwhile, in the outside world. (It's morning, by the way)
Luigi walks up to Mario and taps his head. Luigi: Hmmm. He's still conked out. I guess that Fire Uppercut really took something out of him. I'm sure he'll be awake in a few hours.
