Mario throws his clothes in a pile on the bathroom floor as he stands in his boxers in front of the bathtub. "Hey Luigi! Can you hang the laundry!"

"Yeah, yeah."

Mario shook his head as he continue to fill the tub with water. He began to sing his theme song as he bathe, unaware that at the same time disaster struck the castle. He continues until he suddenly hears feet scurry out of the bathroom. 'What was that?'

He grabs a towel and walks out to see a Toad laying on the floor. He kicks Toad wondering if he was alive when the small mushroom began to speak. "The...the prin...cess..."

'The princess? PEACH!!' Faster than you'd think, Mario was out the door as he dives for the clothes line as Luigi was hanging his clothes. Mass confusion later, Mario ran off to save the princess...with Luigi tied up in the clothesline that was hanging off his shirt.

Mario rushes into the castle to see Bowser stomping in anger. He stops abruptly as his brother flies past him and smacks Bowser upside the head. Luigi looks up from his spot on the floor to see what he'd hit. One look at the King of Koopas nearly caused poor Luigi a heart attack as he rushes behind Mario for shelter. Mario looks back at Luigi before standing his ground in front of Bowser. He didn't even get a chance to speak before Bowser was on his feet. "Attacking me when my back is turned, huh? Well, that's typical! C'mere Super Coward Bros.!"

Bowser jumps at Mario as Mario dodged. Bowser unleashes his fire breath as Mario jumps on his head. Luigi watches the fight from the sidelines doing all sorts of weird dances as he freaks out over the fight. Mario laughs as he trounces Bowser to the ground. "C'mon King of Koopas! You're going to have to do better than that!"

Mario delivers the final blow that brings Koopa down. "Bye bye" Luigi jokes.

After a moment of silence, Bowser is back on his feet growling. "Uh... W-Wait a second! Listen... This is no time for fighting! ...Even though I would've won!"

Mario drops his hands to his side as he stares at Bowser. "What?" A Toad who was watching the fight next to the crying Peach answers. "Listen to me, everyone!! Something terrible has happened! The Goodwill Ambassador from our neighbor, the Beanbean Kingdom, just paid a visit!" Another Toad continues. "Yeah! But it was no friendly visit! The Ambassador stole Princess Peach's voice!"

Here Peach tries to talk as her servants ran for cover. As she talks explosions are heard all around here. The first Toad came back to finish. "...A-And replaced it with this explosive vocabulary!"

Peach tries to talk some more as more explosions are heard. Mario, Luigi, and Bowser ran from her as she began to cry again. Once it was safe, Bowser spoke again. "Gah! If I kidnap Princess Peach in this state, she'll wreck my castle! Mario! Do something super!"

Mario looks at Bowser. "Like what? Stolen voices aren't my specialty! Stolen princesses and clogged plumbing are!"

Toad rushes in and turns to Mario as he began to beg. "Mario! Please! Go retrieve Princess Peach's beautiful voice! Only you can do it!"

Toad number two comes in next. "The perpetrator came from the Beanbean Kingdom! If you head over there, you should be able to learn more!"

Before Mario could answer, Bowser buds in. "Bwa ha ha ha! Yes! Go capture that fiend and get back Peach's voice! And then I can kidnap her! We'll take the Koopa Cruiser and reach the Beanbean Kingdom in no time! Mario! We leave immediately!!"

Mario nods in agreement as a familiar and unwelcome sound rang out. Mario, Luigi and Bowser all turn to see Peach's mouth was moving and hightailed it out of there just as a huge explosion shook the castle. A flag falls of the top of the castle and hits a poor Toad on the head.

Mario soon find himself walking around saying good bye to everyone as Luigi points the way that Bowser went. Mario came upon a Koopa with a green shell, flight cap, and goggles. He was looking around frantically. Mario, always being the helpful hand that he is, asks him what was wrong. "I don't know where King Bowser went so I don't know where the assembly is being held."

"Oh! Well, he went thatta way. Up past that hedge. You can't miss it."

"Thanks Mario! You're a life saver!"

With that said, the Koopa runs past Mario towards the Koopa Cruiser. Mario smiles and shakes his head as he, Luigi, and a few toads make their way to the cruiser. Suddenly a voice rings out. "MASTER MARIO!"

Everyone turns to see Toadsworth rushing towards them with Mario's suitcase. "It would appear I'm just in time! I have prepared a suitcase for you to take with you on your long journey. I'm quite sure it will prove useful, as it holds many items and outfits. Please take it!"

Mario nods. "Thanks Toadsworth. This will be useful.

Mario opens it and places the mushrooms he got as goodbye gifts inside. Once he closes it, Toadsworth speaks up again. "...Once you board the Koopa Cruiser you can take your time and look through it. Now then, I have one more parting gift, as it were: Some funds for your trip! Here you go... One hundred Mushroom Kingdom coins. Huh? Oh, gracious! Master Luigi! Are you going to the Beanbean Kingdom, as well?"

Luigi's eyes widen as he began to shake his head vigorously. "N-N-N-NO! I'm just here to say goodbye to my bro and see him off."

Toadsworth nods in understanding. "A capital idea! I do believe I'll join you."

With that said, the group heads up to the Koopa Cruiser. Toadsworth stands near the hedge with another Toad as Luigi stood back near the Koopa Mario helped waving his cap goodbye. Mario jumps up to the Koopa Cruiser and lands next to Bowser on top as Bowser turns to him and laughs his evil laugh. "GWA HA HA HA! Well? So? What do you think? Incredible, isn't it? This is my newest weapon: the Koopa Cruiser!"

Mario looks it over. 'Where have I seen the design before?' He turns to Bowser. "Nice! You really outdone yourself this time."

Bowser grins. "Now to call my baddies. BOWSER BADDIES!!"

Everyone waits a moment as silence struck them. There was still only one Koopa and the only one moving was Luigi who was still waving goodbye. A tumbleweed pass as Mario turns to Bowser with a questioning look. Bowser throws a fit. "GAAH! Where are they?! Huh? What in green blazes...? Hey! You! Are you signing up to join my crew of Bowser Baddies?"

By now Luigi was jumping up and down stupidly as he waves. "I see! I see! You want me to bring you along that badly, huh?"

Luigi then realizes that Bowser was looking at him and looks around before pointing at himself. "Who, me?"

"Yes, you!"

"Uh, n-n-n-n-n-no!"

"Gwa ha ha har! Oh, That's rich! Don't be modest, Mr. Green! I mean, you look like a real pain, but I'll take you anyway!"

Luigi's eyes widen to the side of dinner plates as he takes a few steps back. Finally he turns and begans to run as Bowser calls out behind him. "Hey, You! STOP!"

Luigi was knocked back as a Koopa appears. "Your Gnarliness! The Baddies have just arrived! Hey! The assembly area is over here, you blithering idiots!"

Five green shell Koopas, five red shell Koopas, and five Goombas lined up and began to board the Koopa Cruiser. Luigi tried to slip away but Bowser got word and immediately calls to his men. "Initiate Cruiser pursuit!"

Luigi was chased down. He didn't even stand a chance. With an increased headcount, Mario and Luigi began on their new adventure.
