Mario was doing some errands outside the Mushroom Kingdom, such as forcing the Goombas to work labor on the gardens, causing the Piantas to grow more trees, and most of all, forcing each and every Koopa Troopa to hand over their shell for use in the nearby sliding contests. Grabbing a specific green shell for himself, Mario headed up the nearby green grassy hill, positioned between a bluish penguin and a red-clothed Shy Guy.

"This is gonna be a friggin' piece of cake..." Mario muttered with confidence as he chuckled. As soon as the bell rang, Mario slid his way past the other two contestants, screaming with joy.

Unfortunately for him, he immeditaely crashed into the tall Oak tree that awaited him at the end of the hill.

Waluigi and Bowser, who were watching the antics of poor Mario from the bushes, laughed as they pounded each other.
