Author's Notes: This is nameless-phantom here, with probably the only author's notes I'll do in my stories! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this game gets enough love. (What I mean is that it's frequently overshadowed by the other games.) I know of at least one character that EVERYONE loves, but at best, that's all that most people remember about it. This probably won't be as updated as frequently, by try to enjoy it anyway! ^_^ So without further ado, the Legend of the Seven Stars! Also, if any of you have a DeviantArt account, check me out there, and check out Loopy-Lupe's Seven Stars Comics, if you love this game, you'll love them just as well!

It was a day like any other day in the Mushroom Kingdom. The sun was brilliantly shining, birds were singing; another wonderful day. The perfect day for a romantic picnic. And that's just what Princess Peach Toadstool was aiming for. Humming a familiar tune, the carefree Princess strolled down the path. Toting her favorite pink parasol, Princess Peach reached her destination. She knocked on the door and waited. Inside was the Mushroom Kingdom's most famous plumber.

"Mario, are you there?"

Mario opened the door. "Princess!"

"Sorry that I'm early." Peach smiled brilliantly. "Are you ready for the picnic?"

"Oh, no, I'm not ready yet." Mario stammered. "With Luigi away, I've had do so much…"

"It's okay." Peach said, keeping her cheerful mien. "I'll just wait outside." Mario closed the door and started getting ready. She sat down in the meadow. She wandered around, humming, and admiring nearby butterflies. As she looked around, she saw the loveliest of flowers. She knew that Mario would think of her every time he saw them. As she stooped down to pick them, she thought that there couldn't be a more wonderful day. Suddenly, the sky turned a darker color. Perhaps to foreshadow a terrible event that could change the world for the worst? The Princess tensed, slightly frightened. As if out of nowhere, the Princess was snatched right off the ground! As she was spirited away, Peach let out a blood-curdling screech for help.

Mario walked outside as he saw the Princess scream for help. Mario ran after the figure barely visible in the cloud covering. He knew only one being that would do such a thing: his arch-nemesis, Bowser. Mario ran as fast as he could toward Bowser's keep.
