Chapter 4
Mingling in the Mushroom Kingdom
When I finally got my mouth out of the mud, I looked around the luscious area I was in. The trees and grass were in dark shades of green, the wind was blowing soft and it was the perfect temperature. I noticed the giant castle about 200 feet away and started running up to it to notice these little mushroom guys.
"Is there a chosen hero"? I had asked.
"He's off to save his princess from Bowser"! Came the reply. I walked up to the closed door and read the note, "Sorry, I'ma off to save the Princess" – Mario.
I obviously realized now that I was in the Mushroom Kingdom and that the chosen hero here wasn't Mario. "Your Princess is in another castle" Greenie chuckled: I laughed as well, getting his reference. I decided that this place was absolutely worth exploring in case some cool stuff was here. I walked a little west when Creeper somehow tripped over a dandelion. I chuckled once again as continued to walk around the area, noticing some berries growing on trees of a few different colors. I climbed up the tree and grabbed some of the berries. As I was doing this, I lost my grip and fell flat on my face. A little blood was trickling out of my lip, but I ignored it. I noticed that Sneaker had kept staring up at the trees; she was seemingly interested at the berries. I gave her the white one and she quickly swallowed it. Strangely and hilariously, she began flying extremely fast to the point where Greenie fell flat on his face after getting dizzy watching the magenta ghost zoom around him. Eventually, Seeker crashed into a tree and several hundreds of berries came tumbling down the tree and out everywhere into the grass. As I'm walking I step on a yellow berry, which electrocutes me before I fall again on my face. "Well, that was shocking". After making my pun, I climbed up off the ground and noticed that the yellow berries could be used as a power source. "Hey, Hider!" "Can you take these berries back to the ship; I noticed that the yellow ones have an electrical charge".
Hider did as I told him and scurried back into the pipe. I began walking over to the side of the castle and noticed a blue switch planted in the ground.
"Not sure what this does or why I would ever use it". Even if I didn't care what the switch did, I wanted to see what it did. I pulled on it with all my strength before falling into the grass. The switch created a staircase that lead up onto the roof of the castle. It seemed to be on a timer though as when I reached the top, the stairs had disappeared and the switch was reset. I glanced over the edge of the roof and noticed the view
"This is an amazing view".
Slammer replied with a "I've seen better"
"I've been to Chicago, there's an amazing sky deck on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower. The shear mention of this comment made Greenie regurgitate. I remembered that he had Vertigo and died from an unintentional skydiving prank. I looked over onto the other side of the roof and noticed an egg. I walked over and noticed that it was egg with green spots.
"It's a Yoshi Egg"
Right after I said that the egg almost immediately hatched. The Yoshi that came out was an aqua blue color, something I had never seen in a game. It seemed happy that we had freed it as it was rubbing up against Greenie. I wondered why he was doing such thing when he harmlessly jumped off the roof and landed in one of the berry trees where he began gorging on them. I also jumped into a tree and slid down the trunk onto the ground. The communicator I got from Poltergeist began ringing.
Hider had called me to let me know that berries were back in the ship and that yellow ones have enough electrical power to power the ship's engine.
"Try connecting them up through the ship's prototype remote I made"
"Why is it necessary to do that?"
"Because breadcrumbs and beaver spit that's why."
"No, because I can try and use the remote to communicate communicate.
"Ok, I'll get it hooked up"
I brought the blue Yoshi down to the pipe before it warped us to where the ship was. Hider came out of the ship with the remote in hand. He gently pressed the button at the Yoshi, before a small orb of light hovered over his head.
"Can you guys hear me?"
