Kevin K. Koopa was opening up a new magic show, having it conveniently right next to his own little house. The shy Koopa was starting to get into magic, and all of the town's other five residents were there to give the show some good showing. Because that's what the point was - attracting peons who would pay to see a magic show.

"As for my first act... umm..." Kevin gulped, and he looked around, whispering to the small audience, "Uhh, what should I do, guys?"

Mario chuckled, folding his arms as he closed his eyes and shook his head. "Silly Kevin. If you need instructions on how to perform magic tricks, check out the enclosed instruction book," He stated coolly as he stuck his right index finger in the air, winking at the others.

"...Okay, then!" Kevin stated, sweatdropping as he grabbed a book with instructions on how to properly use magic out of nowhere, skimming through it and reading it thoroughly as he stopped his finger on one particular pick. "A-ha!" he looked up, smiling. 'For this trick, I'll need a special someone!"

"Ooh! That's me, that's me!" Mario shouted as he jumped onto the stage, smiling in a dumbfounded fashion.

Kevin gulped, sweating nervously as he scratched the back of his neck. "A-are you sure about this, Mario...?" He obviously was very hesitant, as he did not want to regret what he was about to do.

Mario opened his eyes, winking at Kevin as he smiled. "Go ahead, Kev. I'll be okey dokey!"

Kevin sighed, noting a tiny prayer as he then grabbed a black wand out of nowhere, and muttered the words, "Hocus Pocus! Make Mario disappear! Hocus Pocus! Please don't let him be... ummm..." He panicked, shouting as he covered his face with his hands, "Argh! I can't rhyme with disappear!"

"...Just do the magic trick already..." Billy sighed as he rolled his eyes, getting bored as he felt the seconds ticking away.

Kevin sighed. "Okay, okay." he breathed in and out, muttering to himself, "I can do this. I can do this!" Chanting once more, Kevin waved his wand at Mario, and suddenly, with one poof of pink-and-purple smoke, made the red-capped Italian plumber... disappear!

"Whoa! He disappeared! Where did he go? Splendid job, Kevin!" Golly, Billy, Birdo, and Dr. Hoshi commented, applauding for the performance (except both Golly and Billy for obvious reasons, instead clapping with their feet). Kevin blinked, and he chuckled sheepishly, stating, "Aww, it was nothing." He then started pondering. "But I do wonder where Mario is..."

Mario screamed in fright as he hung tightly onto the wooden branch sticking out of the hard, bluish wall of the cliff side, with nothing but boiling lava below him. The red-capped Italian plumber gulped, and at the top of his lungs, screamed the only thing that could come immediately to his mind...

"Kevin, wherever you are! HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLP!!"
