Super Mario Adventures: Difference between revisions

== Storyline ==

Mario and Luigi arrive at the [[Peach's Castle|Princess's castle]], where a party is scheduled to take place in the evening. Unfortunately, there is a huge mess in the plumbing! All the [[pipe]]s are mixed up and disconnected! The Bros. quickly get to work, eventually clearing out the mess, leaving only one disconnected green pipe that they had not seen before. Suddenly, another green pipe, this one VERY large, pops out of the ground. Mario peeks inside and promptly is snapped on the nose by a [[Piranha Plant]]. At that moment, the [[Peach|Princess]] is playing ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in the courtyard, accompanied by her faithful [[Toad (species)|Toad]] courtiers. One of the [[Toad]] guards runs up with some very important news: Gigantic pipes are popping up everywhere! The Toad courtiers are dubious ("Popping pillars of pipe? Preposterous!!")  

He announces he'll be back in two weeks for her ''final'' decision, and to make the deal go a little more his way, he proclaims that if the answer is no, all her people will be turned to stone, giving her a demo on the Toads nearest him! (Even their screams of terror become rock!) Peach becomes extremely upset at this, and tries reasoning with the Koopa King. But Bowser, seeing as he's got her "over a barrel", so to speak, chuckles at her and rockets back down his pipe with the Koopalings.  Peach becomes enraged and, with some of her faithful Toad courtiers, [[Image:smapage4.gif|thumb|The Bros. meet Yoshi for the first time! (Actually, the ''second'', counting the events of [[Yoshi's Island]]...)]]goes down the pipe too, hoping to strike a compromise with the King. Meanwhile, the Toads are trying to find the Mario Bros. to warn them about the Princess's departure, but a calamity has struck! Mario has been turned into a statue too! Luigi, however, doesn't seem to notice the difference, only that Mario isn't talking and is extremely stiff. One of the Toads saves the day by calling up the Minister of Massage, a mystic Toad who works wonders on the stone Mario and, one week later, Mario is back to his old self.  

After hearing the news about Peach, the Bros. race down the huge pipe after her. The pipe is extremely long, and, unfortunately, dangles in the clouds high above the Koopa Kingdom!! After a rough landing, Luigi gets his head wedged into the ground. Mario pulls him up to reveal a giant, green egg! They are quite hungry, so they begin a cookout. But the heat has a strange affect upon the egg, and moments later, a little green dino pops out of it, happily screaming YOSHI!

Yoshi and the Bros. arrive at a village filled with the little dinosaurs. At first, Mario and Luigi are extremely nervous ("I hope that they're not discussing ways to ''cook'' us!" gulps Luigi) but their fears fade when they see another human. He introduces himself as [[Friendly Floyd]], the salesman who can sell ''anyone anything''. Right now, he's selling the gullible Yoshis light bulbs. As it turns out, he can interpret the Yoshi dialect, and he tells the Bros. that the Yoshi they are riding is the Chairman of the Dino Chamber of Commerce. Why was the D.C. Chairman trapped in an egg? On account of Bowser's curse! When some villagers were yoshinapped,  their friend went to rescue them, but he happened upon Bowser, who sealed him into the egg. The brothers are astonished, and decide that they need an interpreter. Folyd seems not to want to hang around, so he sells them an "Acme Yoshi Learner" instead for 3000 coins. "3000!!" scream the Bros. "What a rip-off!" Floyd hastily makes it 10 "since they're friends of Yoshi". After F.F. beats it, they open the book and find... Every word translates to "Yoshi"! Mario explodes, but suddenly, they realize that a Toad has stumbled into the village! It's the Princesses' guard, and through him, they soon learn that she is now Bowser's captive!

At the Koopa headquarters, the [[Koopalings]] are watching Ludwig von Koopa play what appears to be "Super Bowser Bros." Ludwig stomps a Mario, and sends it flying into a long line of others for a 1-Up. Suddenly, the TV screen bleeps out and the face of Bowser appears, yelling to "keep this video line OPEN!" He then tells them that he has, of all things, PROPOSED to Princess Peach! Just then, his chef shows him the ''colossal'' wedding cake model. He tells the Koopa King that it "will be twice as big, with chocolate". Bowser decides he'd rather have it ''100'' time bigger, and turns to tell the Koopalings that he wants them to keep an eye on his "bride-to-be", but realizes that they're playing again! "DO YOU HEAR ME!?!" he roars, somehow sticking his head, in classic cartoon form, through the monitor into their room. "Is he tense, or what?" ask [[Lemmy Koopa]], pulling his his head out of the floor. "She's safely beyond bars!" Or is she? When Lemmy peeps in, she's GONE! They all pile in, wondering ''how'' she could possibly pulled it off. But meanwhile, dangling overhead, the Princess balances herself on the cell ceiling... "HEEEEE-YAAAAH!" she screams, preforming a surprise attack on the awestruck Koopa Kids. "Take that"! she cries, karate chopping them and knocking them out. She then races for the cell door, locking them in their own prison! She's safe! But at that moment, [[Wendy O. Koopa]], Bowser's "favorite", runs in with her personal army of [[Koopa Troopas]]! Peach runs for cover, but soon finds herself cornered in Wendy's own room! She desperately throws some articles of clothing at the Koopas then threatens to shred Wendy's favorite sweater! She grabs a cape from the closet and impersonates a bullfighters, sending [[Roy Koopa]] caterwauling into the wall. With the cape, she steps onto a windowsill and bids them good-bye, but loses her balance and plummets to the ground! Fortunately, she is able to use her cape Super Mario World style, and begins to carefully float outside the moat.

While Luigi, the Toad and Yoshi try to revive th Princess, two [[Mechakoopa]]s come up in a boat. They announce that Mario is being held a prisoner, and that if they fail to put the Princess into their boat, Luigi's brother will pay, giving them all a demo on the Mario doll they brought with them. The Toad announces that it's blackmail, but the stubborn robot turtles keep insisting. Suddenly, who should burst in on the scene but Friendly Floyd! "Howdy, howdy, ''howdy''! How do you like the book?" he asks cheerfully, advertising the new makeup line that "could turn a frog into a prince!" Luigi announces that he needs a miracle, not a makeover! Floyd still persists with his tagline of "create a new you!" "NEW ME?!? I need a ''miracle''!" Luigi shouts, but suddenly, a lightbulb flashes above his head. He asks the Mechakoopas to be excused for a moment, and he, the Princess, and Yoshi head into the bushes nearby. Luigi grabs Floyd too, needing his kit for some reason. A moment later, Peach comes out, fully conscious, and asks casually "How do I look?" Meanwhile, in the castle, Bowser's bratty offspring are examining the goings-on with a telescope. "She's on her way! IT WORKED!" they cry with glee, eager over their victory. But, when the Princess is brought in, she cries for some reason "FLOYD! YOU'D BETTER COME THROUGH ''THIS'' TIME!"

"Free Mario, or be blown to pieces!" Peach orders, as the Bowser's kids teeter in confusion. "TWO of them?! Am I seeing double?" asks Windy, "DOUBLE TROUBLE! Which is real?" yelps Lemmy. But their question is answered for them when they turn around to see Luigi has pulled off his mask! The Koopalings are, to say the very least, quite indignant, and race for the "real" Peach. But she threatens them with a bomb and a match, telling them to stay back, or bombs away! Wendy, though, calls her bluff, reminding her that she'll go down, or rather, UP, with the rest of them if she lights the fuse! While the Princess is distracted with the loudmouthed Wendy, Luigi sneaks up on Roy Koopa and makes off with his keys! "STEALTH ATTACK!" he cries, effectively giving away the stealth. Roy dives for Luigi, but the Princess Impersonator jumps out of the way... getting his own head stuck in the ceiling! "Low overhead!" he screams as the keys drop down, but at the last second, the faithful Toad snags them! "COME BACK HERE, shrimpy shroom!" scream the Koopalings as they chase after him, but at the last second, Toad tosses them to Yoshi, who stows them in his mouth and makes off, tripping Iggy, Morton and Roy, sending Wendy and Ludwig crashing into each other, squashing Larry, puts Lemmy in a wild spin, and the Toad into a victory dance! The kids, of course, give angry chase, but Yoshi goes behind a pillar and Luigi comes out... With the key! The Koopa Kids don't suspect a thing, though, and keep chasing after Yoshi. Luigi races for the cell, but has a ''bit'' of a trouble with the many, many keys... "STOP!" Scream the persistent Roy and Lemmy, still chasing the green dino. Yoshi swerves, sending the two headlong into a wall! Floyd, of course, can't resist this ripe opportunity, and begins selling them "Koopa Crisis Kits", while Peach screams at him to "save the sales pitch, Floyd!!" Wendy. though, is VERY bitter toward "that dippy dinosaur", tripping him and sending him into poor Peach, Floyd and Toad! She opens a trapdoor, letting six [[Thwomp]]s freefall down! At the prison, Luigi has ''finally'' picked the door lock! But when inside, he realizes that Mario still has a ball and chain on his foot. "Even Houdini couldn't break out of all these locks..." he sighs. In the fray, Wendy has also released a horde of [[Chargin' Chucks]] into the battle. As the Chucks race toward our Thwomped heroes, Peach gets up and gives Wendy a heavy glare. "You blitz, and I'll BOMB! I MEAN it!" "And your princess pedestal will be ''koopa kindling!!''" answers Wendy smugly. "It'll be a ''small'' price to pay to kick your KOOPA KEESTERS!" Peach replies, with  smiling stars and sunshine in the background. "And, as always, GOOD will triumph over KOOPA-DOM!" "YOU'RE OFF YOUR ROYAL ROCKER!!" Wendy screams, but at that moment, Mario and Luigi "still in Princess clothing) burst in and break up the fight, stomping and plowing through the Chucks Wendy released. But Wendy has a back-up plan, as she and her siblings pull a rope and send Floyd, Yoshi, Toad, the Bros., and the Princess down a huge trapdoor! "Where are we?" Luigi asks dazedly as he kicks about. Suddenly, his expression freezes as he yells "Oh, NO!" "REZNORS!" everyone screams, dashing away. But a stray fireball from the castle guardians lights the bomb...KA-BOOOOOOM! goes the castle basement as everyone goes flying!

They crash-land on the other side, all yelling "WE DID IT!" On a lower note, Mario grumbles "I can't believe they pulled it off without ''my'' direction." Peach asks for her gown back, but Luigi says he's beginning to ''like'' it.. Floyd, after giving them a sales pitch for more bombs (they all refuse) jogs off in search of more prospective customers. "KOOPA'S CONQUERED! The Mushroom Kingdom is safe at last!" the Bros. sing. "And we rescued Mario, to boot!" adds Peach. Mario, for once, acknowledges her with gratitude, and they all walk into the sunset, the credits rolling.
