Chapter 3 (Mario to the Rescue)
Mario was exhilarated. He had seen many wondrous and seemingly impossible sights in space in his latest adventure. He had surfed on a manta ray, slingshot into a giant spider, saved his brother, Luigi, from a haunted mansion, and defied the laws of physics more times than he could count. It was all very mind-boggling.
Having completed many challenges in the secret Garden room already (some which were dastardly dangerous), he was ready to take on the Garden's Hungry Luma. After feeding the Luma the requisite 1600 Star Bits, he was ready to warp to Snow Cap Galaxy.
"Oh, my tummy hurts so badly," moaned the Hungry Luma after Mario left. "I don't think I can even get near another Star Bit for days."
"Don't worry," said Rosalina. "You have done well."
"Ooh, a fat plumber is coming!" cried Leslie. "Imagine all that blood-drenched fat!"
"And he must be a slow runner too!" added Kim. "This should be easy prey."
Mario landed on the Toad Brigade's ship. Admiring the beauty of the Snow Cap planet, he excitedly got into the Launch Star and blasted his way onto the planet.
When he got there, three cute little bunnies greeted him. He recognized the friendly bunnies from the Gateway and Gold Leaf Galaxies. He knew that they would eagerly give him the star for Rosalina's Comet Observatory, but first he would have to catch them.
"Can you catch us all in 150 seconds?" said the head bunny.
Mario started running at the beginning of the peppy music. He found flip switches in the snow and activated all of them, opening the bunnies' secret stash of Fire Flowers. He picked up one of them and, having much experience with these items, melted the planet's snowmen.
A bunny popped out, running quickly away. Mario demonstrated his athletic prowess with long jumps and side spins while chasing the bunny. Eventually, he caught the bunny.
"Didn't expect this fat plumber to be so fast", thought Kim. "I hope the others can hold him off for another 60 seconds.
Mario suddenly realized that he indeed had little time left to catch the other bunnies, which had popped out during his chase. He kept running, but being extremely fast, the bunnies managed to continue outpacing him. Mario eventually realized that he could trap the bunnies in the metal holes on both sides on the planets, and tricked them into falling into them. However, it was too late.
"You need more practice," smirked the head bunny.
For Mario, he felt a twanging in his head, and everything went black.
