World 4

Mario and Toad disembarked the S. S. Brass and landed on World 4. They might have done it a bit early, because they were both shivering. After all, World 4 was a bit—no, extremely cold! They both shivered so much that they went back to the ship and got some winter clothes on.

After bundling up and coming out of the shop again, Toad looked up and remarked, "Wow, that's a high climb. I can see the Music Key at the top, but isn't this a bit steep?"

Mario nodded and agreed. The two of them then tried to find a warp pipe system.

"Hey, I see one!" Toad announced as he pointed out a green pipe.

The duo hopped through the pipe and ended up in a frozen sewer system. They then tried to find a pipe out. Toad decided that the best way to accomplish this was to ask the nearby Cheep Cheeps.

"Hello, Cheep Cheep," Toad tried asking. "Can you please tell out the way out?"

The Cheep Cheep pointed to a narrow pipe.

"Thanks," Toad replied as he dragged Mario to the pipe. Unfortunately, that one just ended up back in the same sewer system.

"Drat!" Toad cried. "We'll try again." He then asked another Cheep Cheep to point the way out.

"It's this way," the Cheep Cheep replied as he pointed to the left.

"No, it's that way!" another Cheep Cheep shouted as she pointed to the right.

"Hey, it's up there!" still another Cheep Cheep pointed out with an arrow sign.

"Can anyone decide?" Toad groaned.

Mario leaped up the pipe that the Cheep Cheep with the arrow had pointed out. He promptly disappeared.

Toad followed Mario up that pipe. Luckily, it did lead outside, and the two of them dusted themselves off as they walked to a cottage.

"It's still cold," Toad shivered. "Should we warm ourselves up over there?"

Mario nodded, and the pair walked into the cabin.

A fireplace (without the fire) was waiting for them inside.

"We'd better light that fireplace up," Toad stated as he looked for anything that could ignite easily. "Where's the gas switch?"

Toad searched high and low for the gas switch, but eventually he realized that there was none. He then asked a passing Podoboo, "Can you please light up the fireplace?"

The Podoboo jumped into the fireplace and disappeared up the flue. Music also came down the flue. Inevitably, the two of them had to collide.

A thud, followed by a crackling noise, was heard in the cabin. Soon afterward, a Mouser that Mario recognized and the Podoboo came crashing down.

"Ms. Mowz!" Mario scribbled down on his now-thawed piece of paper.

"Ouch, my legs…" Ms. Mowz stopped humming and started yowling in pain. The fireplace crackled further, burning the two of them more severely.

As Ms. Mowz hopped out of the fireplace and into the rest of the cabin, she limped on one leg and kissed Mario on the cheek. "Why, my little hunk!" she greeted.

Mario swooned, then fainted.

Toad screamed, "What's happened?" He then tried to shake Mario into consciousness. It didn't work.

"Help!" Toad yelled. "We need help!"

A motley crew of Podoboos, firewood, and dinner plates came to Toad's aid. They ignited, smashed themselves on Mario's face, and waved themselves at Ms. Mowz.

"What have I done wrong?" Ms. Mowz asked as she fell backwards into the dining table.

After gathering a few splinters and shards in his face, Mario finally revived. He slowly got up and scribbled, "How long was I out?"

"Precisely forty-three minutes," Toad responded and he pulled Mario up. "Here, I think we're warm enough now."

Toad and Mario promptly left, leaving Ms. Mowz with the Podoboos, and trudged up the mountain. A couple hours (and some complaints by Mario) later, they finally reached the summit! They got to their feet and looked straight at a giant Freezie.

The Freezie looked far over the horizon, never acknowledging Mario and Toad's presence. So Mario and Toad waited. And waited. In the end, Toad asked, "Can we please get that Music Key from the top of your head? I'm sure you don't need it."

The Freezie did not reply.

"Hello?" Toad asked again. "Did you even hear me?"

The Freezie made no motion and did not utter a sound.

"Are you a non-speaking antagonist?" Toad asked further. "You do less things than Mario over here."

With that, Mario beckoned the Freezie into a dance competition.

The Freezie did not attempt to dance.

Mario didn't like an opponent that was unwilling to participate, so he made and chucked a fireball at the Freezie.

The Freezie started to melt, but did not otherwise move.

Mario threw another fireball at the melting Freezie. The Freezie did not respond.

Eventually, the Freezie had melted to the ground, and still it did not make a reply. Mario threw his last fireball into the huge puddle, and still the former Freezie did not react.

Toad picked up the Music Key, showed it to Mario, and pronounced, "Now, we have to go back! But how can we? We need to do so quick."

The answer came in the form of two bobsleds. They zipped up to the twosome and scooped them into their hulls. Then, they slid down the slope.

"Wheeeee!" Toad screeched as he rumbled down the mountain.

"This is fun!" Mario wrote into a piece of paper.

The two bobsleds couldn't stop fast enough, so they smashed twin holes into the S. S. Brass. Mario and Toad were soon flung inside.

"Ow!" Toad yelped. "Can we fix this ship fast enough?" He then looked back, and saw that the Boogie Booster was busy fixing the gaping holes. The bobsleds receded back and soared up the mountain.

After the Boogie Booster was done, Toad remarked, "Now, we'd better bring those Music Keys home! We're going to World 1!"

The S. S. Brass returned the way it came as it zoomed back towards World 1.
