It's a beautiful day in Mushroom Kingdom. All the people of the many villages go about their daily lives. The innkeeper prepares for tourists wanting a room. Little children play games in the green grassy park. Birds whistle in the trees underneath the street musician whilst he's entertaining passer-bys. Then, the townsfolk look toward the entrance to the Kingdom, and they see none other than their hero Mario. The townsfolk cheer and give their savior a hearty welcome. Little kids come running around Mario asking him to play. "Come on, Mario! Come play some games with us! We never see you anymore!"
"I'ma sorry, kiddies. But I musta visit Princess Peach. She has called me to the castle on urgent notice."
"Aww!"
The little kids headed back as Mario continued into the castle. Toad escorted him up to the main throne room. "This is a true crisis, Mario," Toad explained, "we'll need all the help we can get."
"Isa anyone else here?"
"Yes. We've found a few people."
Mario and Toad enter the main throne room. Peach is waiting, and also there are Yoshi, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Link. "I see the whole group isa here," Mario says.
"You're the last to one to come. Always alate." Luigi complains.
"Please, Luigi. We have no time for petty feuds." Link explains.
"What is the problem we are facing?" Mario asks.
"Mario! It's terrible!" Peach says, "Master Hand has returned from the Dimensional Void!"
"What??" Mario asks, surprised.
"It's true," Link explains, "and I suspect Ganondorf is somehow behind it."
"But you already explained the situation, Link. He clearly has a valid alibi." DK says.
"What about Bowser?" Mario asks.
"We investigated.. he's clean." Yoshi points out.
"It still puzzles me.." Peach ponders, "is how Master Hand was able to escape."
"He had to have been helped." DK says.
"Well.. I do have something. Master Hand isn't alone." Link says.
"What?" Peach asks, surprised.
"I withheld this until everyone was here." Link exclaims, "Like you know, Master Hand attacked Hyrule, which is why we're all here. But, he had an accomplice.. another hand."
"Are you serious?" Mario asks.
"Yes," Link continues, "I'm not sure who he was, but he was crazier and seemed more powerful."
"This could be a real problem!" Yoshi says.
"Well.. what are we to d-.." Mario asks, as he is cut off by a loud noise outside.
The party hurries to the windows nearby. Outside in the Kingdom, Master Hand and the unidentified hand are wreaking havoc out in the kingdom. A few buildings are toppled. "AH CRAP!" Link yells.
The party rushes outside. Peach and Toad stop at the castle entrance as the others rush to meet the Hands. They meet Master Hand first. There is no sign of the other hand. Mario and Link immediately aerial attack Master Hand. While he's stunned, Yoshi and DK come in from behind. Master Hand seems phased, but he throws Yoshi and DK off of him. "Is that the best you can do??? It'll be in vain, my little friends!" He yells.
Luigi attempts his Green Missile, but Master Hand dodges and knocks him to the ground. He neglects to see Link above him. Link nails Master Hand on- target with a Meteor Attack. Master Hand hits the ground hard. DK then jumps on top of him and begins to unleash his Ground Pound attack. The others are about to attack, when they hear what sounds like a rocket. Suddenly, a big fist comes rocketing through the square, nailing DK and send him flying upward. Master Hand gets back up as DK lands back to Earth. The others look back where the hand flew, as he reveals himself. He his a hand identical to Master Hand, but seems to move his fingers around more impulsively. "Who are you?" Mario yells.
"I aM cRaZy HaNd! YoU fOoLs WiLl nOt DiSgRaCe OuR pOwEr AgAiN!!!" The hand yells.
Suddenly, Master Hand and Crazy Hand simultaneously do an odd movement. Then, the 5 fighters fall into a sleep-like trance. Back at the entrance of the castle, Toad and Peach watch in horror as the two hands do a 3-clap move, taking out the 5 fighters. "Oh no!" Toad yells, frightened.
"They're coming this way! Run inside!" Peach yells.
Peach and Toad run inside the castle and close it's gates.
A little while later, Mario wakes up in the confines of Peach's castle. "Ehhhh.. what? Where am I?"
"You're safe now, Mario." Peach says.
Mario removes the damp rag that rests on his forehead. "Mama mia. I thinka we lost."
"You did." Peach exclaims, in a sad manner, "The others are still resting."
"Whatta happened to the hands?" Mario asks.
"They wreaked havoc on the village some more. We could do nothing." Peach says.
"Grrr... Damnit!" Link yells from behind Peach.
"Calm down, Link. It's over for now." Peach says.
"It's far from over." Link says, "They attacked Hyrule, and now they've decimated the Mushroom Kingdom. They could have wreaked havoc on many other places here in Nintendo World by now!"
"We have to stop them somehow." Mario says, assertively.
Yoshi, DK, and Luigi awaken, and the party regroups. "We'll have to do something quickly." DK says.
"I've already made a plan." Mario says. "I move that we have to travel to the different worlds here in Nintendo World to gather allies."
"I like that idea." Link says.
"I'm not sure I'll be able to gather people from the DK isles." DK says.
"I'm at a similar road block." Yoshi points out.
"Well, we have to try," Mario exclaims, "Here's what we'll do. DK, Yoshi, and Link. You three head to your separate worlds and attempt to finda help. Luigi, you go to Kanto and Johto and attempt to find Pikachu and Jigglypuff. I'll stay here in the Kingdom momentarily, and then go somewhere else. We'll meeta back here tomorrow."
The others agreed to the plan and headed their separate ways. Mario was about to leave, when Peach stopped him. "Mario.. I want to help you fight these people."
"What? No. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if somethinga happened to you." Mario says.
"I want to help. You witnessed first hand what those hands did, and you're going to need all the help you can get." Peach says. "Peach.. the people here in the Kingdom need you. Please leave this to us." Mario asks.
"You're right.. I'm sorry. Go gather allies and end this threat!" Peach says.
Mario leaves the room to scout the Kingdom. Peach walks back to her throne and slumps down. Toad walks up. "Don't fret, Princess. He was right. The Kingdom needs you." He says.
"I'm not fretting, Toad," Peach says, "I'm going to find a way for us to help Mario out, whether he likes it or not."
Gulp "U..Us?" Toad asks.
Peach says nothing.
Meanwhile, Mario goes around the Mushroom Kingdom, unable to find anyone to help. "Mama mia! Where is Mallow when you need him?" He says to himself.
He decides that he won't get anywhere here in the Kingdom. He'll have to go somewhere else. After deliberating it for a minute, he decides to head to somewhere where he hasn't gone to in a long time. Visit some old friends that weren't able to help when Master Hand first attacked so long ago. He makes a small hand motion, and a green tunnel comes out of the ground. He then jumps up in it, and begins his warp to his next destination.. Infinite Glacier.
