Mario was waking up on his bed, yawning loudly as he rubbed his eyes. Smacking his lips together, the iconic Italian American plumber took off his blue pajamas and placed on his regular red shirt and blue overalls, brushing his teeth shortly afterwards as he went to enjoy his breakfast. Strangely enough, Luigi was not there, so Mario made his own breakfast. Within a few minutes, Mario enjoyed a healthy balance of Mushroom Minis cereal, bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, waffles, sausages, and a nice tall glass of orange juice, along with milk on the side. Oddly enough, instead of a muffin, Mario had a banana instead, feeling the need for potassium.
After a nice delicious mix of breakfast, Mario headed out of his house, smelling the fresh, clean air. As he headed off his front porch, he hoped into the green warp pipe and headed into Toad Town, heading out the exit to the west. Going off on yet another adventure (seriously, this guy alone has more adventures than anyone imaginable, even more than Mickey Mouse!), Mario started running within the green, grassy meadows, coming up against the norm of the Mario platformers - Koopa Troopas, Piranha Plants, Bullet Bills, Lakitus. As Mario jumped over a red-shelled Koopa Troopa that walked on all four of its legs, Mario spotted a line of seventeen two-legged, green-shelled Koopas. Getting an idea, Mario quickly jumped on the previous Koopa and grabbed the red shell, chucking it at the line of two-legged Koopas, watching the turtles being knocked out on their backs as the red shell continued spinning. Grinning, Mario jumped on each of the Koopas, breaking their fragile shells as he continued running.
A pair of red-spotted Piranha Plants snapped at Mario as he approached them. Noticing how big the warp pipes were, Mario closed his eyes as he formed red fireballs in his palms, chucking them at the two Piranha Plants. Mario then jumped into the warp pipe on the left, only to come out after being bitten by a rather angry Piranha Plant. Mario ran past the warp pipe, screaming in pain as a Bullet Bill collided into him, exploding on contact. Mario spun around, moaning as he moved dizzily along the path. A Lakitu above noticed this, and he chuckled a red Spiny down, landing right on Mario. Mario yelped as he felt the spikes coming right into his red, painfully pulling the shell out and chucking it back at the Lakitu in the air as he rubbed his sore head. However, he was not looking at the path ahead, and he then fell into quicksand. He struggled to get out, and he screamed as he was sucked in, unable to get back up.
And in cruel irony, there was a rope right next to the quicksand pit. Why must the world be so cruel...?
