Mario was doing some of his usual every day strolling around the Mushroom Meadows, getting a good look around the wide open plains this time around as he collected several of the gold coins that were stowed away in the golden "?" blocks. Bashing some of the regular blocks, Mario paused for a moment after jumping up in the air, for he hit something solid, yet there was no block to be seen. Turning around, Mario scratched his head as he noticed a brown block right where he just jumped.
"...Maybe I'm just... imagining things..." He assured himself as he continued bouncing along the way, humming merrily until he hit another invisible coin block. "Oh... oh no..." Remembering the tough times he had in various hard hacks, Mario started running back to the village, only to have more invisible coin blocks pop up out of nowhere. The red-capped Italian American plumber screamed as more popped up. one of them being hard enough to knock him out unconscious.
Nearby, Bullet Bill Ted was speeding through the grassy meadows, and spotted the unconscious Mario. Noticing the amount of out of place coin blocks, which were previously invisible, Ted picked up Mario and placed the out cold plumber on his back, resuming his daily mailman deliveries as he once more sped through, leaving behind him a trail of dust.
