Mario was running down the dirt-paved path, through the green, grassy plains of the Mushroom Meadows, humming merrily as he jumped up and down in glee. The Italian, red-capped plumber then stopped, to see a brown sign post nearby. Curious, he ran over to read it.
"Watch out for falling meteors!" The billboard stated. Mario shrugged, and he continued jogging through the grassy meadow.
Making a turn to the left, Mario past the local postal office (which was owned by a pair of Bullet Bill brothers, one the standard black and another a rare blue violet variety), grabbing the scattered gold coins hidden well within the grass. As he made his way back to his home, he got smashed in the back of the head, falling face first into the ground. Moaning as he rubbed his head, Mario glanced at the rock that hit him in the back of the head, examining it closer to see that it was a meteor!
"Mamma mia!" Mario exclaimed, as he quickly glanced upwards at the sky. He panicked as he saw many small meteors coming down faster than a certain blue hedgehog. Mario started running for his life, only to be prevented from running and pulverized by the sheer amount of small meteors, all of which sizzled out before making contact.
Struggling to get out, Mario remarked weakly. "I knew I should have brought my hard hat with me... cough..."
Dry Bowser walked by as he was barely affected by the meteors, glancing to see Mario in pain.
"Humph, and I thought you were suppose to be better than that." Dry Bowser commented as he didn't care what was going on, simply going on about his day.
"You're just going to leave me like this?" Mario complained.
"Well frankly yes, because it's quite embarrassing for you to get knocked out like that when you have done so many feats." Dry Bowser pointed out.
