- Mario: Are you ready? We're off!

After checking that everyone in the castle had fallen asleep, our trio took a crate with the words "To the North Pole" written on it. The children locked themselves in the crate and waited patiently for the letter carriers to arrive at the foot of the castle entrance gate. They shouldn't be long. And indeed, a few minutes later, Parakoopy and Parakoopo, the letter carriers, arrive at the castle and notice the crate. They have no trouble carrying the crate. They take off at lightning speed for the North Pole.

The trip goes off without a hitch, despite the snow, and barely an hour later, the trio feels the crate hit the ground. Mario waits for the letter carriers to leave before opening the crate.

- Peach: Here we are!

- Luigi: Holy mushrooms! So cold!

All around them, there's nothing but a vast plain of snow stretching as far as the eye can see.

- Peach: Mario, where do you think Santa's factory is?

- Mario: Let me think...

- Luigi: We can't see anything with that building in the middle!

- Mario and Peach: WHAT?! A building?!

Mario and Peach turn around and see a gigantic multi-colored building standing out against the snowy plain.

- Mario: Way to go, bro! Let's go !

The trio enter the building. After passing through a corridor, they reach the Heart of the Factory, where all the toys are produced.

- Luigi: Wow, this is the most wonderful place I've ever seen!

It really is. Everywhere you look, there are machines making all kinds of beautiful toys, which are then placed in a huge sleigh. The decorations are enchanting. At the helm of the machines are Toads, but different from those in the Mushroom Kingdom. Their white mushroom with red polka dots has been replaced by a red mushroom with green polka dots, and they're all wearing Christmas vests.

- Peach: Have you seen all these Toads? They're different from the ones that live in our Kingdom!

- Mario: No time to look at them! We've got to find Santa's nice list!

- Luigi: Look, big bro! There's a map on the wall, right there.

The three children walk recklessly towards the map. Fortunately, the Toads, immersed in their work, don't even notice the intruders.

- Mario: Santa's nice list is in corridor C! Let's go !

The trio head for Corridor C, where they find the room containing the list. Luigi turns the handle, but the door doesn't open.

- Luigi: It's locked!

- Mario: Santa must have the key! Let's find him!

Back to the map. Santa's room is in Corridor A, and they go there at once. Snoring can be heard from the doorway. Luigi is about to open the door, but Mario stops him.

- Mario: Don't go like that! You'll wake him up and we'll be in trouble! We've got to do this quietly.

- Luigi: You can count on me! I'll be as discreet as a Scaredy Rat!

- Mario: We'll be waiting for you.

- Peach: Be careful!

Luigi tiptoes into the bedroom. On the bed, Santa is fast asleep. Luigi looks around the room and sees the key on the desk. He moves forward slowly, but the wooden floor creaks. Luigi still manages to grab the key. Just as he's about to leave, the phone on the desk rings. Santa moans and half-opens his eyes. Luigi, panicking, hides behind a plant by the door and prays Santa won't see him. Santa gets up and answers.

- Santa: Hello?

- Secretary: Santa! Were you still asleep?! You should be handing out presents by now!

- Santa: Oh, I lost track of time!

In his conversation, Santa gets dangerously close to the plant where Luigi is hiding, who is holding his breath. Finally, Santa turns back and hangs up the phone.

- Santa: I'll be right there!

Luigi takes advantage of Santa's turned back to leave the room discreetly. At the corner of the door, Mario and Peach admire Luigi with wonder.

- Mario: Bravo, bro! You're the best!

- Luigi: Oh, don't exaggerate...I'm embarrassed...

- Peach: Hey, boys, we've got to go now!

Peach grabs the key and the trio head back into the heart of the factory. They run so fast that the Toads finally notice them, not without surprise.

- One of the Toads: Who are those kids?! Where are they going?! Hey!

Seeing that they've been spotted, the three kids speed up. Corridor C isn't far off.

- Mario: Don't let go of the key, Peach!

- Peach: Don't worry!

- Luigi: But...?! NO PEACH, WATCH OUT!
