Mario was bouncing on several red-spotted mushrooms, trying to collect as many red coins as possible. Of course, at first glance, this seemed impossible, but then again, Mario could do anything he pleased. As he nabbed the first red coin, he headed southward to te mushroom below, jumping and landing on it firmly as he grabbed the second red coin. Looking around, mario spotted two red coins in the air, one being carried by a Lakitu and another hoering around.

"D'oh! How am I suppose to nab those two when I don't even have FLUDD on me...?" Mario stated to himself as he sighed, snapping his fingers as he then got an idea. "Wait, that's it! FLUDD!" He turned around and spotted a blue nozzle box, jumping onto the platform and grabbing it, recieving FLUDD.

"Hello, Mario, how are you-" FLUDD was interrupted as Mario interrupted, running off the platform and switching to Hover nozzle, using FLUDD's ability to head upward towards the sky.

The Lakitu noticed this, and he laughed his head off as he began chucking several spinies at Mario. Mario used his yellow cape swiftly to propel the spinies back at Lakitu, making the Koopa fall off his cloud and allowing Mario to land on it as he nabbed the third red coin, moving towards the fourth hovering red coin within the coin. Mario aimed carefully, and at the right moment, he jumped, nabbing the fourth red coin just in time as he used FLUDD to hover back onto the cloud.

"Hey! This was much easier than I thought!" Mario exclaimed as he grinned, heading upward onto the platform above the bouncy mushrooms, jumping off the cloud and using FLUDD again to hover. As he made it onto the platform, Mario changed FLUDD to squirt mode, and blasted several green-shelled, four-legged Koopa Troopas away with water. He then made a dash for the fifth coin, and then jumped down, landing on a grassy vine as he swung towards the left, which contained a small cleft and the sixth red coin. One more swing, and Mario then jumped off, grabbing the ledge of the cleft as he grabbed the sixt red coin. He looked around, and scratched his head, not seeing any other red coins, when FLUDD bgan speaking.

"Mario, if my sensors are correct, the remaining two red coins of the eight are right below you..." FLUDD ponted out.

Listening keenly, and grinning as he brimme with energy, Mario jumped off the cleft and used FLUDD to hover just right under to collect theseventh and eight red coins, spotting a star out in the midst of the clouds. Mario quickly used what was left of FLUDD's hovering skills to land on the mushroom, and as he jumped on the platform and bursted the blue box to gain more water, Mario made a running dash towards the southwestern direction, jumping off with a slide and using FLUDD to hover him into a barrel cannon, which sent him straight up into the air and allowing him to land right on the mushroom, grabbing the bright yellow Star and celebrating as the camera zoomed out.

Now only one problem remained... how the heck would Mario get out of there?
