Here's another chapter!

Can you guess which game I am describing?
I am in front of a mushroom house. I go inside. I look to see water in the background and hills with faces on them. I walk across this green place with trees. I see floating question mark boxes, Goombas and Koopas. I must be back in the Mushroom Kingdom. I get coins from the question mark boxes and beat the bad guys by jumping on top of them. I get a Super Mushroom from one of the question mark boxes. I go down the pipe to a secret underground place and collect the coins in there. I go up the other pipe and run past the Paragoomba. I jump over the pipes while avoiding the Piranha Plants in the pipes. I hit the two question mark boxes and get a heart and a Super Star. I get them and quickly run at the bad guys, defeating them when I bump into them. The heart is just like the 1-Up Mushroom. If I get hurt really badly then I can use the heart to make me better. I jump on the floating box and hit the bell. I ring the bell but I don't know what that does. I hit the question mark boxes in front of me to get coins and a Fire Flower. I take the Fire Flower which gives me the power to throw fireballs. Instead of changing colours, I get a feather on top of my head. I keep going, beating the bad guys using fireballs. I find another room with coins in a pipe with a Piranha Plant. I jump over the spikes floor and climb up the floating boxes toward the bell at the top. I hit the bell and go into the door at the end. Wow! This looks fun. There moving items moving from right to left. There're the Fire Flower, a carrot with a face on it and a heart with the number '3' on it. I look up and see a machine. I use the machine to pick up one of the items. I get the heart with number '3' on it. The machine drops it on top of me.
I go into the cave which takes me to a big castle. It's a big castle with a 'W' in the middle. I look up and see a guy running on top of the castle. I take a look at the door of the castle. There're statues of a Koopa and a Goomba at the sides of the door, around the door are six round holes. It said on the door 'Mario Land' and under the words is a number '2'. I see Mario in front of the door.
"Mario!" I shout.
Mario turns to me. "Julie!" He runs to me and hugs me. "I'm a so happy to see you."
"What're you doing here?"
"While I was away, someone has taken over my land and castle. I came to the castle to stop him but the door is closed."
"Let's open it!"
"The only way to open the door is to collect the six coins which are scattered all over this land."
"Let's get them!"
Mario smiles at me. "Thank you Julie. You're a helpful girl."
I follow Mario back into the pipe and to the big tree. There're a bee, ant and a bird on the top of the tree. We start at the bottom of the tree. It's just like the time when I'm with Mario. We run across places to reach the end while beating the bad guys with power-ups we find. In the first stage, we face with frogs, moles with pointed nose, spikey animals and dragonflies. We run across the logs, jumping over holes, and collecting coins in the air and in the question mark boxes. At the end of this stage we jump onto the floating boxes and ring the bell at the very top of the door.
We go in the door where we play a different game. In this one you have to pick which buttons to press. There are four wires with three wires in between them. There are two mice running around on each side wire. At the top are the Fire Flower, carrot with a face, Super Mushroom and a heart. Mario lets me press a button. I press the left middle one. The mice stop and break the wires they are on. The fire from the button follows the wire up. It doesn't go all the way up; it turns onto the next wire next to it. If the wire is broken then it won't take that path. I watch as the fire turns and goes up and turns again onto the next wire next to it. It goes up to the carrot with a face. The carrot with a face falls down and I catch it. I now have long rabbit ears on my head.
"What's this?" I ask.
"That will let you glide through the air," Mario says to me.
I jump in the air and use the rabbit ears. I can float! I like this power-up. In the next stage, we are inside a dark place with sticky things all over the place. We can jump through these sticky things. I follow Mario through this place. Mario uses the fireball attacks to beat the weird looking animals that swim through the sticky things. We use the sticky thing to get up to a little room that has a question mark box. We get a heart from the question mark box. We follow the path down and jump across the sticky things toward a pipe. We have to be careful not to jump too high as there are spikes at the top. We jump onto the Buzzy Beetle which then turns into a bomb. That's not a Buzzy Beetle as they don't turn into a bomb when you jump on them but he does look like one. We use the sticky things at the top to cross the spikes at the bottom. We ring the bell and jump over the sticky thing at the bottom. We beat more of those beetle bad guys and jump down using the line of sticky thing. It's a good thing we use the sticky thing to slowly go down because at the bottom are spikes. Mario carefully uses the sticky thing at the top of the little hole to reach a heart. I use my rabbit ears and the sticky thing to reach the bell at the top of the door. I let Mario plays the machine game. He also gets the carrot with a face which gives him rabbit ears.
We go to the stage near the ant. We are on top of the tree and are on floating leaves. We jump onto the ant and jump over the bug with a long horn. Mario hits the question mark box and gets a Fire Flower. He uses that power to beat the bad guys. The Piranha Plants that spit fireballs are also in this place. We dodge their attacks and Mario beats them by firing fireballs at them. We climb the leaves to the top. We jump across small floating platforms that fall down when we land on them. Mario fires fireballs at the flying bug bad guy. We jump onto the moving platforms which take us high up. We jump onto the floating boxes and then jump up onto the leaves. Mario beats the Piranha Plant in the pipe before he can attack us with fireballs. We jump over the pipe and down the leaves. We jump across the floating platforms to the leaves at the top and use the moving platform to hit the bell at the end. It's the machine game. Mario lets me play it. I miss the item by dropping the machine in between the items.
We can go to the top where the bird is but Mario wants to do the other stage with the bee. We jump onto a bug on the floor and go into the pipe above us. A bee is hiding in the hole in the background. He comes out and chases after us. We can't beat him with fireball but we can beat him by jumping on top of him. There is a scary looking bee in front of us. Again, the fireball attacks don't seem to hurt him. Mario jumps onto his head which causes the scary bee to fall onto the floor. I jump over him and follow Mario into the pipe.
A big bee is waiting at the top. When we go near him, he falls down and tries to hit us using his spike. He misses and flies back up. We quickly run under him. We collect more coins from the question mark boxes and dodge more flying big bees. We also beat the bugs on the floor by jumping on them. We go through the next pipe where there are more bees coming out of the holes in the background. There are dangerous looking bugs that we jump over. We jump into the middle pipe which takes us into a room with lots of question mark boxes. We take the side with the dangerous looking bugs and collect the coins from the question mark boxes. One of the question mark boxes has a Fire Flower in it. We go up the pipe back into that room. We go into the middle pipe again and this time we take the side with the normal bugs. We collect the coins from the question mark boxes. The very top right question mark box has a Super Star in it. Mario carries me and grabs the Super Star. We quickly run into the pipe above us which takes us back into that room. We quickly run across the room and into the next pipe.
We jump onto the floating boxes and run across it. We ring the bell which is at the middle of the room. We take the Fire Flower from the question mark box at the end and jump into the pipe. We quickly run across the room, dodging the bees that come out of the holes. We couldn't reach the bell at the top so we go into the door.
We go to the very top where the bird is. We run across the floating boxes, beating the Paragoombas. We jump onto the owl's head. The owl flies up to the floating boxes. We jump onto the floating boxes and jumps across using more flying owls. We then jump across clouds with eyes. We ring the bell and then use the moving platform to reach the other floating boxes. Mario gets a carrot with a face from the question mark box. We fly to the floating boxes. We go up the pipe and collect the coins from the question mark boxes. The last question mark box has a Super Star. Mario jumps onto the Paragoomba and up onto the Super Star. He carries me and we go down the pipe, jump across the floating boxes, pass the Paragoombas, jump across the clouds and then into the pipe.
A big bird sitting on an egg attacks us. He flies into the sky and then flies down at us. We jump up and onto his head. The big bird flies into the sky again. He flies back down at us. We jump up and onto his head again. We do this one more time to beat him. We get the first coin which flies upward. I wonder where it gone.
I follow Mario to this stage where we run across, beating the Goombas and Paragoombas. We beat them by jumping on their heads and with the Fire Flower power-up we find later in the stage.
I want to look at the other side so we go to the other side of the land. We go to a big Mario toy. We go into the stage in big Mario toy's feet. We use the spinning machine things to go up. Some of the spinning machine things spin while others don't. We avoid the spinning sharp thing and go into the pipe to the next room. We beat the Koopas while jumping across the spinning machine things. We have to jump over this pointed square thing that moves about.
Mario gets the carrot from the question mark box. We fly across the spikes and into the pipe. After flying across the box platforms and spinning machine things, Mario gets a Fire Flower from the question mark box. We beat the screw bad guys and carry on going up across the spinning machine things. We carefully jump pass the moving pointed square thing and get the carrot from the question mark box. We slowly fly down, avoiding the spikes as we make our way down. Mario rings the bell and we go into the door at the bottom.
We go to the body of the big Mario toy. There're lots of balls in here. Weird looking bad guys fire balls at us from their mouth. We dodge their attacks and beat them by jumping on their heads. We jump upward using the floating balls. We beat the Paragoombas as we make our way across. I look down and see that some balls have spikes on them. Mario gets the Fire Flower from the question mark box. We jump over the square colours spinning pole and go to the pipes. We go into one of them which take us down on top of a square colours spinning pole. We run across, beating the Goombas with Mario's fireballs. We climb up the balls after we beat the Goomba in our way. We jump up into the pipe above us where we collect a heart. We climb out through the square colours spinning pole and find ourselves going back toward the pipes. We go across the pipes where we see an angry looking bear on a big colourful ball. Mario jumps on him to beat the bear and we use the ball to safely cross the spikes floor. We ring the bell and jump across the floating ball while beating the bad guys. We run under square colours poles with five walls that separate them into four paths. Which one should we go through? I take the far end where I get another carrot while Mario takes the middle one. We meet back up at the top. I look back to see that all the paths go to the same place. Maybe there're different items in each of the path. I show Mario the carrot I got when I took that path. There are more spikes floors in front of us. I give Mario the carrot and we fly across, landing on a square colours pole in order to avoid falling on the spikes below. We jump up and fly over to the bell where we ring it and then go through the door.
We go to the tongue of the big Mario toy. I see pictures of Super Mushroom in the background. We collect the coins from the question mark boxes. A bad guy with a funny face jumps out of the last question mark box we hit. We jump on his head to beat him. We beat the toy soldier and dodge the Bullet Bills from the cannon in front of us. There are lots of spikes on the floor. To get across safely we jump onto a moving black ball. This black ball is very lumpy. The black ball moves along the chain and after a while it flashes and then disappears. We jump off it before it disappears. There are more black lumpy balls that we use to get across. There are also grey ones that don't move. We carefully make it across while dodging the Bullet Bills. We use the moving floor to duck under the spikes above us. We ring the bell above the cannon and run across the moving floor. It's hard to run across because the moving floor is moving in the wrong direction. After beating the bad guys in our way, we run under the spikes. Mario quickly pushes me down to avoid the next spikes above us. I didn't notice that the moving floor under those spikes is moving in the other direction. We let the machines pick us up. They move us across the spikes floors. We jump across floors with spikes in between them and get pick up by another machine which takes us across. Mario gets the Fire Flower from the question mark box and we use the black lumpy ball to reach the platform at the top. We use the machine to help us ring the bell at the end of this stage.
We make it to the top where we are in the hat of the big Mario toy. The floor of this place is like the toy bricks that I play with at home. I follow Mario through this place while avoiding dangerous spike balls that go around a ball, spikes floors, big spike spinning things on the floors (which we dodge by ducking under and jumping over them), bad guys and more Bullet Bill cannons. We go through the pipe at the end where we face with three pigs in their houses. One of the pigs jumps out and rolls around on the floor. We dodge his attacks and jump onto his head three times to beat him. The next pig bounces around really quickly. We dodge his attacks and jump onto his head three times to beat him. The last pig doesn't bounce around quick but he jumps really high. We jump onto his head three times to beat him. We get another coin which also flies upward.
I follow Mario through the hill. I look at the very big house. It's very, very, very big. The first two stages we make our way to the very, very big house. We go underground, over the pots and through the water to get to the very, very big house. There are lots of bad guys that try to stop us. The ants with cannons on their heads try to shoot us down. We beat them by dodging their attacks and jumping on their heads. While in the water, we face with fishes. We avoid them when we don't have the Fire Flower power-up.
The floor with arrows works just like the moving floors when we were at the big Mario toy. When we're on them, we move in the direction of the arrows. We run across this place while beating the bad guys. There are also fires on the floors which we jump over. We go into a very dark place to get to the exit. Upstairs is full of very big books; some of them are in our way. There are these weird little guys that run around with the hearts that we find in the question mark boxes. We chase after them to get the hearts. We climb over books while beating the bad guys and running across moving floors to avoid the spikes on the walls.
There are three pipes in this room; one on the middle left, another on the top right and the last one on the bottom right. A big mouse runs out of one of the pipes and across the room. He runs into the other pipe. We have no idea which pipe he will run out of next. When the mouse is out of the pipe, we jump on his head to damage him while avoiding his attacks. We jump on him three times to beat him. Another coin flies upward after we beat the big mouse bad guy.
I follow Mario through the hill. We climb up the next hill to the next stage. This stage is fun! The hippo blows out bubbles. We go into the bubble and fly across the sky. We collect coins in the sky while avoiding the bad guys. Hey! That spike bad guy with eyes looks the same as the ones I faced when I was with Kirby. We keep flying across to the exit. There are two doors. We go to the top one after we ring the bell at the top.
After the bonus game, we find ourselves in space. There is a big star with eyes and a big smiling moon. Me and Mario have a glass ball on our head. We jump high across space. Weird looking bad guys run across the floor. They shoot things at us from their mouth. We beat them by jumping on them or using the fireballs. I'm not paying any attention as I keep looking at the stars in space. We jump very high up using the platforms in the air. I have fun jumping high in space. We ring the bell at the exit and go into the door where we play the bonus game.
We go to the stage near the big star. We fly across this place while avoiding the angry looking stars. Some of the angry looking stars move about, making it hard for us to get across without getting hurt. We make it to the pipe at the end where we face with a bad guy in a small flying ship. He attacks by shooting across and firing balls that blow up like fireworks. We avoid his attacks and wait for him to stop his attacks. When he does, he flies down toward us. We jump on top on him to damage him. We dodge him when he carries on attacking. We wait again for him to stop attacking. He flies down and tries to hit us. We jump on top of him again. We keep doing this until we beat him. We get another coin which flies upward.
We go to the place where there is a big turtle. The big turtle eats us up in his mouth which takes us to the underwater place. I don't like this place because I still don't know how to swim. I don't remember much about this place…except maybe getting chase by sharks and attack by fishes. Mario helps me swim through this place. We swim around the rocks that are in our way. We swim to the broken ship at the bottom of the water. We have to do more swimming as there are waters inside the ship. There are also bone fishes that we can't beat. We just have to avoid them. Mario helps me again to get through this place. The next place isn't so bad as there isn't much water in this place. There are sticky things and sharp teeth around this place. It looks like we are inside the sleeping whale. There are bad guys wearing something that people wore on their heads to go underwater. We beat them the same way as the other bad guys. We use the sticky things to get across toward the pipe at the end while beating the bad guys.
We fight with a big octopus in the water. The big octopus comes out of the bag in the middle and swims around. He drops a little octopus which chases after us. We avoid the little octopus and swim toward the big octopus. Mario hits him by landing on top of his head. The big octopus keeps swimming around and dropping more octopuses. Mario hits him three times on the head to beat him. We get another coin which flies upward.
The next place is very, very scary. I don't like this place. We try to quickly go through this scary place. It's very dark in all the stages. The only lights are the ones through the windows and the candles on the background inside the houses. There are very scary monsters in this place like the one eye monsters, the umbrella monsters, and little monsters with mask and a knife stuck in their heads. I really don't like this place. We also have to avoid the Boos and ghost goombas. I don't remember what happens in this place because I want to get out as quickly as I can. After dodging the bad guys and jumping all over the place, we make it to a room with scary things in the background. There are three pots on the floor. A witch appears and attacks us by using her magic wand. She fires fire at us. Mario jumps over the fire and onto her head. She disappears and reappears on the other side of the room. She fires another fire but this time she fires it at the bottom of one of the pots. This causes the top of the pot to fly up. It gets in our way so we wait for the witch to disappear and reappear. Mario jumps on her head two more times to beat her. We have collected all the coins.
We quickly get out of that scary place and go through the pipe to the castle. We go to the door where we see that it is opened. There are now six coins around the door, each one have a different picture on them. So all the coins went here when we beaten the big bad guys. Inside the castle we dodge the swinging spiked balls and fireballs from the Piranha Plant statues. The big Piranha Plant statues are very dangerous as they spit out big fireballs. We jump across the Piranha Plant statues and go through the pipe. We climb up while dodging the Piranha Plant statue's attacks. In the next room we use the flying little platforms to get across. We need to jump and duck under platforms to reach the pipe at the other end. We quickly run under the hands that try to squish us and then quickly jump across little floating platforms that blow up when we land on them.
We go through the pipe and climb up to the next pipe. We jump across scary looking platforms. Some of the scary looking platforms will move up when we land on them. This is very dangerous as there are spikes above us. We quickly jump across to avoid getting push into the spikes. We go into the next pipe where we quickly run across to avoid getting squish by falling spinning things with spikes. The next three rooms we fight and beat round things with a face. They only move in one direction but move in another direction whenever they hit the walls or each other. We beat them by jumping on their heads. After that, we get the Fire Flower from the question mark box and go through the pipe where we meet with the bad guy who took Mario's land and castle.
He looks a bit like Mario only he is ugly and big. He wears clothes like Mario only in different colours. He is sitting in the chair. "Whaaat?! How did you got in here?!" he shouts at us. This is Wario's castle and this land belongs to Wario! I stole it fair and square! Wahahahahahaha! If you're not leaving then I'll make you leave!"
Wario jumps on the floor which causes the whole place to shake and making moving ball above us to drop down. We are lucky that we weren't under the moving ball when it fell down. We can't move when Wario makes the whole room shakes. We have to keep an eye out for the moving ball above us to make sure it doesn't fall on top of us. Mario jumps on Wario's head to damage him. Wario keeps attacking by jumping on the floor, trying to make the moving ball falls on us. He runs to the next room after getting hit two more times. Mario takes the carrot and goes to the next room. I follow Mario to the next room where I see a statue of Mario in the middle. A carrot falls down on Wario, giving him rabbit ears just like Mario.
"Wahahahahaha, two can play at this game!" Wario shouts at Mario.
Wario has the same power as Mario. He flies around using his rabbit ears until he gets closer to Mario and then drops down onto the floor, making the whole room shakes and dropping the moving ball. Mario jumps out of the way before Wario fall on top of him to avoid getting squish. He then jumps onto Wario's head, damaging him. Another two hits and Wario runs to the next room. We go to the next room where Wario gets the Fire Flower.
"Let's see who the best, which is me! Wahahahahahaha!" Wario laughs.
Wario walks about and fires fireballs at us. I nearly got hit by Wario's fireballs. Mario dodges Wario's attacks and jumps on Wario's head three times to beat him. Wario turns small and starts crying.
"Wahhhhhhh! Why do bad things always happened to me?! Even when we were kids, you always got the best of me!" Wario shouts.
I look at Mario and see that he is confused. I don't think he knows what Wario is saying. Wario then throws his shoe at Mario's face. He sticks his tongue out at Mario and walks toward the outside of the castle. I really don't like him. He's mean and he steals things. We follow Wario outside only to lose sight of him. The castle turns back into Mario castle. It is bright and beautiful. Mario spins the 'W' coin in the middle of the castle into a 'M'. I help Mario put up the flag at the top of the castle.
"Thank you Julie. I'll make a sure that my land and castle stay safe."
Mario gives me a big hug and we say goodbye to each other. I go through the portal back to my home.
The game is Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins on the Gameboy. I remember playing this a lots. The stages that I remember the most are the space stages and the big toy Mario stages. I don't remember much about the others. I also remember reading one of the Nintendo magazines, I see a little preview of a comic strip about Wario and how he remembered being friend with Mario when they were little. The parts where he got bitten by a Piranha Plant and how he got squashed by something. I read on Wario's profile in Super Smash Bros that he claimed to know Mario when they were little. So we don't know for sure if that is true or not.
