Toadsworth when to change into his normal attire in one of the hospital bathrooms. He then went back into his room, grabbed his cane and his glasses. Then he, Toad, and the Mario brothers proceeded to check out of the hospital and they made their way back into Toadstool castle. "Master Mario and Master Luigi," said Toadsworth eyeing their clothing. "May I ask where you are from? I have never seen you in the Mushroom Kingdom. I most certainly would have recognized the attire you gentlemen are wearing."

"Well to be honest," replied Mario scratching his head. "We aren't from the Mushroom Kingdom. In fact, I'm pretty certain we aren't from your world. You see we travelled down here from our world via a green pipe."

"Oh you've seen your warp pipes," chuckled Toadsworth. "Yeah those usually go out to different worlds by themselves. It occurs once every 5-6 months. They usually are signaled by a tremor, in what humans refer to as earthquakes."

Mario and Luigi looked at each other, dumbfounded by what Toadsworth had said. "Wow, that explains most of what happened to get us down here pretty well," declared Luigi. "Is there a way we could go back?"

"Why of course," answered Toadsworth brushing a rock away from where he was walking with his staff. "You would just have to go find the pipe you came out of and crawl back into it and repeat the same process as you got here. But if you decided to enter the warp pipe, why would you want to go back? You must have been curious as to what the warp pipe led you to."

"That's a good question." Replied both Mario brothers as they finally made their way into Toadstool Castle. The damage was still there, but there were already construction teams making their way to fill in the missing gaps of the walls of the castle.

"Ok gentlemen," said Toadsworth as the four of them were crossing the stone bridge leading to the castle. "We have a briefing room in the castle that is next to the kitchen. Could you meet me there in 30 minutes as I prepare some briefing documentations?"

The Mario brothers agreed as they decided to explore the castle a little. Toad decided to follow Luigi into whatever endeavors he was planning to do. "Wow this place is HUGE!" yelled Luigi as he was astounded by the enormous size of the castle. "I didn't get to look at it before, since I was too busy observing the damage but it does seem very roomy." Luigi sit on one of the couches at the lounging area proceeding to stare out one of the windows. "Wow it's so beautiful here," thought Luigi looking outside, admiring the view. "So much better than Brooklyn."

Mario explored the outside of the castle. He saw tennis courts, a pool in the shape of a star, a golf course, a basketball court, a go kart track as well as a baseball stadium. "Well, I guess this is where the princesses have their fun," thought Mario admiring the various types of sporting facilities there. "I'll keep this in mind."

The Mario brothers reconvened at the kitchen. "Wow!" exclaimed the Mario brothers looking at the kitchen. It came complete with about everything a celebrity chef needed to make exotic and tasty dishes. There were tons of food supplies in the fridge, pantry and the various cabinets that surrounded the kitchen.

"I could make so many dishes from here." Thought Luigi admiring the high tech oven and stove.

"Luigi could make so many dishes for me." Thought Mario licking his lips.

"Gentlemen are you ready." Said Toadsworth motioning for the Mario brothers to follow him.

The Mario brothers and Toadsworth proceeded to enter the briefing room. Toad wanted to come in but Toadsworth told him to wait outside. Toad closed the door behind them as he ventured back into the lounge room to watch TV.

The briefing room came with a huge table with chairs surrounding it. The Mario brothers and Toadsworth sat in the middle, with Toadsworth sitting across from the Mario brothers. "Ok gentlemen," said Toadsworth as he was stacking the documents for the briefing together. "Here is what we know so far. As of yesterday, the princesses were kidnapped by a ruthless tyrant who apparently lived somewhere called the Darklands. This is the ruthless tyrant." Toadsworth gave the Mario Brothers a picture of Bowser.

"Wow, he is one ugly creature." Declared Mario laughing at how homely the creature looked.

"Wow, a part of my soul just died by just looking at this picture." Said Luigi, causing both of the Mario Brothers to laugh for a second before being cut off by Toadsworth.

"Gentlemen this is no laughing matter," said Toadsworth sternly giving both of them a glaring look. "Now while this beast may be ugly, he is still a devious mastermind being able to capture the princess, crippling our Mushroom Kingdom guard and having a powerful army backing him up. The Goomba and Koopa that you both brothers slayed would be nothing compared to the hundreds that you will be up against." This made the Mario Brothers swallow heavy since they were nervous of the odds stacked against him. "However, the reason why you will be going up against them is to rescue these princesses. Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Daisy of Sarasaland.

"Mama Mia," said Mario completely attracted to the portrait of Princess Peach. "She is one lovely girl.

"Wow," said Luigi who eyes were taken aback by the portrait of Princess Daisy. "I can see why Bowser would want to kidnap her. She is a beautiful girl who would never date someone like Bowser."

"As you can see, this brute, this tyrant…this" Toadsworth said trying to gain back his composure. "This Bowser fellow kidnapped the princesses in order to gain both of their kingdoms. I won't allow that to happen. Gentlemen, this is an important mission. There will be no telling of the perils you will face, the odds you will have to overcome, but if you were to save them and foil Bowser's plans, you both will be great heroes to both kingdoms. Do you accept this mission?"

Mario looked at Luigi. Luigi looked back at Mario and they both gave them bro fists. "LET'S A GO!" exclaimed the Mario brothers."

"Then gentlemen." Declared Toadsworth. "May the odds be ever in your favor. Good luck to you both."

The three of them exited the briefing room as Toadsworth gave them valuable supplies for the journey. A map showing them where the Darklands were located, food for four days, sleeping bags, and a tent. "I hope to be seeing you again soon, Master Mario and Master Luigi." Said Toadsworth as he waved goodbye to the Mario brothers.

Mario and Luigi then said goodbye to Toad, and set off for their adventure.
