SCRIPT UPDATE:
=============
CODY HICKMAN has kindly submitted a scene (Aurora Blocks) that
was not present in the Game Script.
====================
PROLOGUE - PLGE
====================
Really, really, long ago... way far out in space in a dark, dank
place shunned by starlight... there was this creepy planet floating
alone... The beings of this world were... creepy. They spent their
time staring creepily into space. Just creepy day dreaming, right?
Wrong. They were searching. Searching for a new home.
At last, they fixed their creepy gazes on a distant land, a land of
beauty and peace.
====================
THE BEGINNING - BGNG
====================
=========================
- Peach's Castle (Past) -
=========================
TOADSWORTH
Oho! Young Masters Mario and Luigi! I've anxiously awaited your
arrival! Yes, indeed, the princess craves playmates, I'm afraid,
she's rather tantrummy. Please go to her at once! Please. I beg of
you, go to the princess. She awaits playmates in that room up ahead.
TOADSWORTH
I say! What's this hullabaloo? What of the princess?
BWAHAHA!
BABY BOWSER
I, Prince Bowser, am taking Princess Peach with me! You two babies
can scram!
TOADSWORTH
Absolute nonsense! I rather think that you'll do no such thing! En
Garde!
- Bowser fires flames at Toadsworth -
B.BOWSER
Your turn, Super Diaper Bros.!
- After the battle -
B. BOWSER
I'm... I'm a prince! I can't lose to you! Bluuuuuurgh.
===============================
PRINCESS PEACH CASTLE - Present
===============================
Famed inventor Prof. E. Gadd has completed his time machine! The
machine's energy source? This amazing Cobalt Star! The unveiling took
place at Peach's castle and was seen by luminaries from near and far.
Princess Peach was reportedly overjoyed by the contraption... so
overjoyed in fact that she promptly set off on a voyage to the
Mushroom Kingdom's past! Of course, her able ward Toadsworth is
beside himself with worry. Details at 11!
TOADSWORTH
Princess!! Your majesty, please return!
I say, I am simply beside myself with worry.
GADD
Heh heh heh. No need to worry yourself. My machine's safe as can be.
Why, there's a 99.99999999 per cent chance the princess will return!
TOADSWORTH
THE HORROR!
- He faints -
TOAD 1
Toadsworth! Wake up! Toadsworth!
TOAD 2
Whoa, he worried so hard, he KO'd himself! Mario, I'm pretty sure
Toadsworth has a Refreshroom in his room. Think you could go get it?
LAKITU
On direct feed, Cloud Cam view of Peach's castle, coming up!
- After Mario retrieves the Refreshroom -
TOAD 2
Toadsworth! Any final words? Can I have your cane?
TOADSWORTH
Princess...
TOAD 1
Doctor! SPEAK, man! Will Toadsworth recover?
DOCTOR
Oh, the prognosis is grim... I'm afraid our dear Toadsworth has
worried himself into a state of Shroomshock. Without the restorative
properties of a Refreshroom, there's naught we can do.
TOAD 2
Toadsworth!
- Mario appears and sprinkles the mushroom -
TOADSWORTH
HUZZAH!
- A time machine drops in -
GADD
Well, take a gander at that. The time machine's returned! Something's
amiss, though. What could've gone wrong?
TOADSWORTH
Oh, princess, welcome home!
- Door opens -
TOADSWORTH
Your majesty, I've been fraught with -
- A monster pops out. Everyone runs off -
TOAD
NO sign of the princess! No! No! NOOOOOO! That awful monster...
GADD
Just take 'er easy, now. She wasn't this feller's breakfast. My DS
time radar puts Peach somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom of
yesteryear.
TOAD
Time radar? TIME RADAR?! You just made that up! WhereÕd this monster
come from, then?
GADD
That I donÕt know. And with the time machine this dinged up, weÕre
not going anywhere.
- Luigi runs in, arms flaying -
GADD
WhatÕs that? Calm down and speak slowly! A mysterious hole has
appeared in the garden? Hmm... it's possible the return of the
machine tore holes in the time continuum. To the garden, fellers!
TOAD
Ah... Luigi, are you on your way to the garden? Instead, how about
you stand guard and keep that thing from escaping and eating
everyone?
- Luigi shakes his head -
TOAD
Oh, I see... well, if you'd rather not, I guess I can't force you to
do it or anything. Who knows what the future holds, though? Could be
you might face even worse things! Oh hey, so tell me, are your jumps
coming along as well as Mario's? 'Cause he's the best. Yeah, listen,
no offense, but next to Mario, that just seems... underwhelming. Know
what I mean? Show him what I mean, Mario.
Seriously Luigi, try jumping like Mario! You need more intensity or
something. Wow... that was super! That was a great jump! Worthy of
Mario himself. You really are brothers! Hey! You'd better hustle
along to the garden.
=======
GARDEN
=======
GADD
As I suspected... IT'S A TIME HOLE! Yessiree, this time hole is a
doorway to the past! No doubt about it, it appeared because of that
time machine.
Careful there, young feller! If I'm right, that time hole leads back
in time! Yep, to a younger Mushroom Kingdom. Question is to WHERE in
the Mushroom Kingdom?! The other question is, if a feller were to
jump in, could he even make it back... Hm? Use this time hole to
rescue the priness? Hmm... now there's an idea. I'd bet dollars to
donuts that's our best chance at saving her.
???
MASTER MARIO!
- Toadsworth's cart crashes against the time hole, knocking Luigi in-
TOADSWORTH
M-M-Master Mario! The princess! Where is Princess Peach? And what
were those lights? And what is this odd hole?! I demand answers, sir!
- Mario leaps into the time hole -
TOADSWORTH
LASTER MARIO!
=======================
Mushroom Kingdom - Past
=======================
- Mario lands on Luigi, and suitcase appears -
???
Watch the leather, professor! No need for the shoving! Oh, you must
be Mario. According to the professor, there should be a Luigi here as
well, but I don't...
- Luigi gets up off the ground, knocking the suitcase out the way -
???
Oh, my! Are you Luigi? I... sorry about that. I am pleased to meet
you. I am known as Stuffwell. Professor E. Gadd invented me. I am
what is called a suitcase. The professor sent me back in time to be
your assistant.
Yes, "assistant" is accurate. I'm more than just some place to store
your belongings. I have many complex sensors and various memory
apparati; for data retention... and er... well, suffice to say, I am
very technologic by contraption standards. I'll be a BIG help.
- The portal close and Luigi cries. A Toad falls on Mario's head -
TOAD
The... village...
- A flying saucer flies by -
TOAD
The... village... Dank purple... Mushrooms...
- Mario and Luigi flee as the spaceships arrive and kidnap the Toad.
They arrive at a wrecked village to see the flying saucers attack and
beam up residents -
???
Mrrrrrrf... Mmmmrph... is... anybody there? Hello? What happened to
these awful Shroob things? Are they gone? Me? I'm the mayor of this
village. Nice to not see you! I was trying to hide from those Shroob
things and got stuck... There must be a way out... that doesn't
involving dieting.
- Mario jumps and bumps the mayor out through the chimney -
MAYOR
Ho ho! Safe at last!
- Shroobs arrive and surround the mayor -
HELP!
- Saucer beams up the mayor. The Shroobs attack and the brothers fall
to a beam -
Meanwhile, high above Holli Jolli village...
EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!
Baby Mario, Luigi and Peach cry.
TOADSWORTH
PRIIIIIIINCESS! Oh! Oh, princess! Never fear, my dear. Toadsworth is
here! Come! Let's get back to safety!
- Toadsworth takes the Princess out -
???
THIS IS THE GREAT PRINCE BOWSER! Kneel, minions! Ok, now get up! All
personnel to the bridge!
- Baby Mario leads Baby Luigi out -
KOOPA
Hey, you there. His Grouchiness awaits you! Get your tails to the
bridge! I wonder if you little spuds can make it on your own...
==================
BABY BOWSER's ROOM
==================
B. BOWSER
Time to show these alien jerks what the Koopa Cruiser can do! Fire
the Koopa cannon!
Bwah ha ha ha HAAA! I am just so dang EVIL! I hope they felt honored
to be shot down by me!
KOOPA
You're the best, Prince Bowser!
KOOPA 2
You're a Koopa's Koopa!
B. BOWSER
Bwah ha ha ha!
- The Koopa ship descends suddenly -
B. BOWSER
Hey! You call that piloting?! Pay attention, sky-nerd!
KOOPA 3
Prince Bowser! There! 4 'o clock!
KOOPA 2
These villagers are under Shroob attack!
KOOPA
Your... your orders?
B. BOWSER
Aw, man... it's half past snack time already. We... we saw nothing!
Everybody clear on that?
- Baby Peach cries -
B. BOWSER
MY EARS! She'll ruin us all! Fine! I'll help them.
- A cannon lands, scaring off the Shroobs -
B. BOWSER
There! Happy? You two take care of things from here. Go get 'em, Red!
You too, Greenie!
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Young Master, if you would, please go check on those unfortunate
villagers. That, I believe, will make the Princess most pleased, and
perhaps avoid future tantrums. I shall wait right here for your no
doubt triumphant return. Tally ho and all that!
- The babies find the adult Mario and Luigi -
TOADSWORTH (Past)
That was rather close, eh? Now that I see these villagers close up,
they bear a striking resemblance to the two of you! But who knows
when more of those awful aliens will return? I believe it best to
take these two to Master Bowser's ship.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Toadsworth reflects in flashback
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
These monsters... their arrival seems like a horrible dream... it was
all so sudden... Foul parasites from the Shroob planet land of utter
creepiness! Their purpose is oh so clear! They wish to take all we
hold dear in the Mushroom Kingdom! Our land... our very lives! Oh,
the village is in ruins... And our beloved castle as well!
TOAD
Flee! Flee! We must escape! The castle is lost!
B. BOWSER
Prince Bowser here! Come in, Kamek! Get the Koopa Cruiser here, on
the double!
KAMEK
MY PRINCE! Prince Bowser! Let's hightail it out of here!
++++++++++++++++
End of flashback
++++++++++++++++
TOADSWORTH (Past)
And that is how the princess and I were rescued by Master Bowser, odd
as that sounds. And now, almost all of the Mushroom Kingdom has
fallen under Shroob control.
KOOPA
Status report, Your Badness! We are currently on approach to Peach's
castle.
TOADSWORTH (past)
Our once beautiful castle... No... look at it now. No doubt those
fiends call it Shroob castle. Rumor has it their leader is there.
Princess Shroob.
Eh? What's that you say? Princess Peach is being held prisoner in the
castle? Ho ho! Surely you jest. The princess is quite safe and sound
right here with me.
Hmm? I beg your pardon? The future Princess Peach? The future Master
Mario and Luigi? Ho! Ho! Ho! You poor fellows... you've gone a bit
daffy, eh? Your noggins must have gotten bonked. Perhaps a nap?
B. BOWSER
Status report! NOW!
KOOPA 2
Your foulness! We're receiving some sort of transmission from
Peach's... I mean, Shroob's castle!
B. BOWSER
A transmission? Put it on the monitor! Let's see what's up.
- Princess Shroob on screen speaking in an unintelligible language -
B. BOWSER
Who's this hag?
TOADSWORTH (Past) Th-that must be Princess Shroob! Undoubtedly!
B. BOWSER
Man, does anyone here have ANY idea what sheÕs blabbing about?
KOOPA 3
Ack! P-Prince Bowser! From Shroob Castle... itÕs a Shroob missile and
itÕs headed straight for us!
B. BOWSER
Whoa! Evasive action! Koopa Cannon! FIRE!
KOOPA 3
DIRECT HIT!
B. BOWSER
Those alien DIRTBAGS! We gotta hold it together until we get back
home!
- Ship descends and crashes down -
STUFFWELL
It's just one disaster after another with you two, isn't it? Well, my
keen detection skills don't pick up anyone else in the immediate
vicinity. Perhaps they were all thrown clear by the crash, what with
the exploding. According to my ultra-radar, a new time hole has
appeared somewhere in this castle. I think it may be advisable to
find the time hole and return to our own time for a while.
KAMEK
PRIIIINCE! Prince Bowser! Ah-HAAAA!! You! You little red and green
insects! Didn't I try to kidnap you once? Yeah, I did! Boy, THAT
didn't work out so well... and you don't look quite so little
anymore. And you're much hairier, too... weird, but none of that
matters! You like bothering our budding master of evil, do you? Then
I'll bother you up!
- Kamek flies off after the battle -
TOADSWORTH (past)
All right, are you? Jolly good!
STUFFWELL
Mario, Luigi... that's the new time hole. BACK TO ADVENTURE.
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Pardon me? You say we should leap into that ridiculous hole?!
Absolute rubbish! Do you honestly believe that I would place the
princess in such reckless endangerment?
STUFFWELL
Come on, it's time to go back to our own era. This blathering
nincompoop is just arresting our progress.
TOADSWORTH (Past)
You... why, you SCOUNDREL! How DARE you refer to me as such? And it's
nincomPOOP!
- Mario leaps into the time hole -
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Hah! I say! What cheek! You, I dare say, are the true nincompoops!
Come back here this instant!
- Toadsworth leaps into the time hole -
=================================
PRINCESS PEACH'S CASTLE - PRESENT
=================================
STUFFWELL
And just like that, here we are, back in our own time. Let's hustlify
over and see the good professor. If you're unsure where to find him,
take a look at the top screen, if you follow me.
GADD
Hey now! Back at last! Stuffwell informed me that you were bringing
the little fellers back with you to this time. And just look at this,
now... they're in red and green! I am plump astounded! But then
again, what else would the little fellers be wearing, huh? Still it
sure tickles me to see the little bros. teamed up with the regular
big bros.!
STUFFWELL
Professor! I must inform you, the Mushroom Kingdom of the past is in
gargantulent trouble!
GADD
Hmm... so it's true. These Shroob creatures have made off with the
princess, eh?
TOAD
WeÕve gotta do something! It's the PRINCESS.
GADD
Hmm
STUFFWELL
Oh, I should have mentioned. Professor... we recovered this at
Bowser's castle in the past. I feel ashamed that I cannot identify
it. I have no similar records in my database.
GADD
YOWZER! That's a Cobalt Star Shard! The time machine's fuel source!
Why was it in Bowser's castle?! And how did it get broken?
- Shard moves towards the Shroob monster -
Good gravy! The Cobalt Star Shard is driving that monster crazy!
Hmmm... could it be... yep, it could! I do believe there's a link
between the Cobalt Star and the Shroob marauders.
TOAD
Maybe we can figure out how to defeat these alien jerks if we find
more Cobalt Star Shards!
GADD
Possibly.
TOAD
Mario! You gotta do it! Find the other shards and rescue Princess
Peach!
- The shard floats off and creates a time hole in west room -
GADD
That shaking was not natural. I'd wager a new time hole just opened
here in the castle. That Cobalt Star Shard is reacting to the other
shards that're scattered in the past!
Mario! Luigi! You youngsters get going and find these other Cobalt
Star Shards! Oh, and by the way, if you care to check on the Cobalt
Star Shard you've collected... just open up Stuffwell there and check
his screens.
There's a fair chance this new time hole will lead you to more
shards. Why don't you jump on in and head back to the Mushroom
Kingdom of the past? Oh, wait, but before you go, I've got a present
for you! It's a badge. Yep, items like this can power you fellers up.
Go ahead and press start to take a gander inside Stuffwell. Well, I'm
gonna continue my research of this alien predator. The rest is up to
you boys. Oh, and by the by, the Shroom shop on the castle's east
side just opened for business. You may want to stock up on items and
whatnot before hitting the next time hole.
TOADSWORTH (Past)
VILLAIN
TOADSWORTH (Present)
I daresay that IS her! That child you're holding, sir, she's the
princess, Is she not?
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Keep your distance! You're not cleared to address Her Royal Highness!
TOADSWORTH (Present)
In the short time she's been gone, she's grown so small! This is why
I was so opposed to that infernal time device!
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Someone! Anyone!
TOADSWORTH (Present)
Princess!
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Villain! Help! Someone! Is this castle deserted?
- TW (Past) runs off with TW (Present) chasing after him -
==============================
TOADWOOD FOREST - Past - TDFT
==============================
TOADIKA
Mis... Mario. Mister Mario... Mister Mario... I am called Toadika...
I was on the... time machine... Princess Peach. As... as soon as we
arrived... in this time... we were attacked. A fierce... alien race
known as... the Shroobs... came out of nowhere...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Flashback - Peach exits the time machine
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PEACH
Oh my goodness! What's happened here? EEEK!
- An army of Shroobs appear, with Princess Shroob in tow -
PEACH
Who are you?
++++++++++++++
End Flashback
++++++++++++++
TOADIKA
Princess Peach was... taken... by the Shroobs... and I was...
captured by... the trees... of this forest... These trees... they're
slowly but surely... siphoning away all our mushroom power. Our vim,
the pure vim... then flows through the... roots of the trees deep,
deep underground... it is gathered... at the Shroob Vim Factory... in
the heart of the forest. Rumor has it... the mushroom power is...
somehow changed at the... Vim Factory. It's mixed with... awful
chemicals and... becomes the fuel for the Shroobs flying saucers.
Mario... you must... leave me... hasten to the Vim Factory. It is
all... that matters now. Somewhere... in that horrid place... is a
Cobalt Star Shard. I just knew it... The Cobalt Star and Princess
Peach.
===================
VIM FACTORY - VMFY
===================
HAMMER BROS. 1
AREA RESTRICTED. ALL NOOB INTRUDERS 2B HAXORED BY US L33T HAMM3R
BROZ!
HAMMER BROS. 2
WE R TEH SHROOB ALLIES. WE ROXOR U AND THEN ROFL, THEN U AM CRY. WE
RECEIVE ORDERS THRU ANTENNAS ON THESE L33T HELMETS. THEY R HOTNESS.
WE MUST OBEY ALL ORDERS. WE LIKE 2 PWN NOOBS 4 TEH MASTER SHROOBZORS.
U = NOOBS. BROZ = L33T. PREPARE 4 TOTAL PWNAGE. WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!
WOOT!
- A nose suck the Mario brothers up its nostrils, then taken away -
HAMMER BROS. 2
NOOBZ STILL R NOT PWNED. CONTINUE PWNERSHIP UNTIL ALL NOOBZ R PWNED.
HAMMER BROS. 1
TEH ESCAPE IS IMPOSSIBLE. WE R 2 L33T. WE OWNZ JOO. U WILL GET
FLATZORED BY R L33T HAMMERS.
- After the battle -
HAMMER BROS. 1
Whoa. My helmet antenna! It's broken! Oh, man, YESSS!
HAMMER BROS. 2
Hey... mine broke too! Talk about lucky! I mean, didja HEAR what was
coming out of my mouth?
HAMMER BROS. 1
I know, dude! Seriously, who talks like that? Anyway, I think these
tots freed us.
HAMMER BROS. 2
Ya think? You little taters trashed our antennas?
HAMMER BROS. 1
Right ON! Seriously, thanks! You saved our bacon. We were... not
right in the head. So listen, you gotta let us thank you by hooking
you up with these spare hammers.
HAMMER BROS. 2
Now YOU can be Hammer Bros! But we'd better teach you how to use 'em
first.
- After defeating the caterpillar boss, Prince Bowser appears and
steal both shards -
B. BOWSER
GWAH HA HA! LOOOOSERS! Thought you could get away with stealing my
treasure from MY castle, did you? It's payback time! I'll take my
treasure ... plus whatever you just picked up as compensation!
KAMEK
Prince Bowser! Let's scram!
STUFFWELL
Cruel fate! We finally succeeded in recovering the second shard and
now this happens... shame cycle initiated. We must return to our own
time and rework our strategy.
===============================
PRINCESS PEACH CASTLE - Present
===============================
GADD
About time you boys showed! Ran into some persnickety obstacles, did
you?
STUFFWELL
I am deep in a shame cycle, professor. We nearly had a pair of
fragments, but... that young Bowser fellow made off with them both.
GADD
Heh heh heh. Now, now, no need to get your leather lathered. There've
been new time holes popping up here faster than toast on Sunday
morning! And I tell you, one of 'em is giving off tremendous Cobalt
Star energy readings. I've no doubt that's the time hole you want?
Yep! That's where Baby Bowser made his escape!
STUFFWELL
Mario, Luigi, we must chase! We MUST have redemptitude!
GADD
Heh heh heh... look now, before you rush off, I think it'd be wise to
survey the rest of the castle. And another thing! There's a noisy
feller from the past running around with a baby. He and Toadsworth
were in the garden. Can you make sure there's no hoopba out there?
========================================
PRINCESS PEACH CASTLE - Present - Garden
========================================
- Princess Peach crying -
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Look lively, now, elder me! We must please the princess! Put your
back into it!
TOADSWORTH (Present)
I'm... I'm absolutely spent!
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Pull yourself together, man! Smile! I say! Smile!
TOADSWORTH (Present)
Toadsworth the Younger... The princess... she won't, she won't stop
crying!
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Tut tut! Worry not, elder me! We're not yet begun to amuse! Arms out,
now! 3, 2, 3, TOADSWORTH TWIST!!
TOADSOWRTH (Past)
Jolly good, elder me! Our charge is giggling! Oh, Masters Mario and
Luigi! Grown right up, have you? I'm quite up to speed on our crisis.
Bit of a sticky wicket. The adult Princess Peach, the Kingdom... you
must save it all. And I shall be right here as you do, rooting for
victory!
What's that you say, old bean? You wish to learn our move? Well, if
it will help you fulfil your duties, of course! It would be an honor
and a privilege! Come! Practice awaits! Chin up, elder me! Mustn't
falter now! I should think this spin jump will give you access to
some awfully hard to reach areas. Now, time to be off, sirs! Utilize
the new time hole! Rescue our princess!
=====================
YOSHI'S ISLAND - Past - YIID
=============================
KYLIE
Aw, whatta lemmon! And this film ain't cheap neither. I was primed
for a scoop, and all I get are whisky and a coupla sap babies! Huh?
Me? Kylie koopa, ace reporter! The Koopa Kronicle's best! You know
about the giant egg, yeah? Why, it just appeared! And THIS dame's got
a hunch it's connected to the Shroobs. I thought I'd get the straight
dope from the locals, but... this place's like a morgue! Where is
everybody? And speaking of fishy, this jump platform positively reeks
of mystery, REEKS of it! But... I hopped up there, and it didn't do
doodley-squat. I wonder if I'm too heavy for it... say, do me a
favour and hop up there, will ya?
Ritzy work! See anything?
YOSHI
(Shh! Don't make noise.)
KYLIE
What's the word?
- Shaking -
YOSHI
Oh no! We must flee!
KYLIE
What? What? Ooh, this reporter just got that front page fever!
- A monster devours a blue Yoshi -
KYLIE
WHATTA SCOOP! It's huge! Exclusive! Stop the presses!
- The monster devours Kylie -
KYLIE
Aw, raspberries! My scoop snacked me! Yuck! It's all so... ooky and
gooky!
- Monster spits out Kylie and devours a yellow Yoshi -
YOSHI
(You! Release them!) Doh.
- Monster devours Yoshi and attempts to grab Mario and Luigi in the
hut -
KYLIE
Huff... huff! I haven't been this jazzed in a Blargg's age! I can see
the headline now! "Monster Yoob from Shroob on Ravenous Rampage!"
Tops! Why I saw an evil looking magikoopa head into that building
just now, but... gotta concentrate on this story! This could be my
big break!
KAMEK
Snacks... must find snacks... score! And doesn't look like anyone's
home so I'll just help myself to the goods. You gotta wonder why this
place is so empty, though...
Whoa! You hairy jerks again! Chased me all the way to this stupid
island, have you? Huzzat? You want the Cobalt Star Shard back? Hey, I
got my own problems. I'm on a snack run for Prince Bowser. He's on
the cliff top. I don't have time for you guys! These snacks ain't
gonna snack on themselves!
- Kamek leaves -
KAMEK
YAAAACK!
- Monster devours and then spits out Kamek -
KAMEK
Hey, whatÕs your beef, pal? I'm not tasty enough for you? I'm prime
koopa, you snob! You're lucky I'm in a rush. I gotta get these snacks
to the prince, pronto, or I would whip that snooty pink tail for you.
STUFFWELL
Yes, those are Yoshi cookies... mostly just Yoshi crumbs, it seems...
Kamek may have pilfered them all.
KAMEK
Boy, you doofusses just get on a koopa's tail and STAY there,
don'tcha? Well, try this on for size...
- KAMEK flies high and sets fire over and over -
KAMEK
Zip! Zap! Zow! Unless those overalls are fireproof, you're gonna
barbeque, you weenies! Give up now! You really think you're tough?
Then make it to the cliff top, losers! I'd love to see it!

HORK! HACK!
KAMEK
Prince Bowser, LITTLE Bites! Oh, here, have some warm milk. It's, uh,
from an evil cow.
B.BOWSER
AHHH! Nothing quite like good cookies and evil milk! I was a little
creeped out at first, hanging out in this ghost town, but... then I
realized there was no one to stop me from eating every cookie in
sight! YESSSS!
KAMEK
Yeah, it's been great. Ack! Baby alert!
B.BOWSER
Grrrr! What are you chumps doing here? Ah-ha! You followed me all the
way there to swipe my treasure, didn't you, you scum?
Huh? Not just the treasure? You want the cookies too? Bwah ha ha!
You've gotta be kidding! You stole the treasure in the first place!
So you're the bad guys! Duh! So all this stuff stays mine! THIS
(holds CSS) and THOSE! OH NO! STINKY BABIES!
KAMEK
Prince Bowser! Take it easy!
B.BOWSER
Hrmph...cookies...
KAMEK
Leave this rabble to me. You just go walk it off, your Hungriness!
B. BOWSER
Grr. You punks got lucky, hear me? Stealing food? Who DOES that?
You'll PAY for those cookies! Oh, all right, fine! FINE! Kamek, I'm
counting on you to finish these snackaholics.
KAMEK
Whew... you guys are really starting to chap my shell. I'm gonna yank
out all those mushroom hairs... AFTER I beat those cookies out of
you!
- After the battle -
KAMEK
Yoooorgh
B. BOWSER
Grrr! Unbelievable! A stupid dead end! You mushroom munchers! Eat my
cookies, will you? Fine! I'll eat the treasure instead!
- Baby Bowser swallows the shard -
Urr... wow! Yum! Those shards were DEE-licious! Hey, what're you...
LEGGO! YURK!
- Saucers fly by and zaps the monster climbing the cliff. It grows in
size. The gang attempts to flee and gets sucked inside.
=====================
INSIDE MONSTER - IEMR
=====================
STUFFWELL
I surmise we're inside that beast's gastric chamber. Young Bowser and
his bellyful of star shards should be in here somewhere as well. I
suggest we find him and get out of here with all speed.
YOSHI
(If I can get this rolling, it should make a way outta here. Can't
seem to budge it on my own though. Push! Push!)
STUFFWELL
It does seem likely that rolling that giant stone down the hole will
expandulate the passage. There may be other Yoshis wandering around I
here. I suggest we locate them.
Well, I am stupermortified! There's an EGG factory in this beast's
torsal cavity... this is vile Shroob work. We must do whatever it
takes to free the captive Yoshis! Not only that, we need to find
Bowser and his precious belly.
???
Bold on, by boogity! I'll bust you outta there! Hey, hang on, who are
you guys? What? "Toadbert"? Did you say my name's Toadbert? A "Toad"
from the "Mushroom Kingdom"? "Princess Peach"? "Time... machine"?
Ow...! The past is a total blank. It makes my mind hurt. No matter
how hard I try, I can't remember a thing ... wait, no, I just lied.
There is one thing. I drew this picture of the image. My "brain art".
I honestly don't have a clue what that is. What I do know is that it
scares my cap off. I think that's the reason my memory is blank. I
can't bear to remember!
One day I just woke up in the Yoshi's village. Then, that huge lizard
snarked us all down. Huh? These eggs? My friends, the Yoshis, are
trapped inside 'em. And the Yoshis that were in eggs are probably
gonna reborn as monsters. I've gotta hurry and get 'em out of there,
but... there's this huge, nasty THING in the back who's guarding the
exit.
What? You're gonna take that thing out? Are you out of your tree?
It's big and scary! And it smells... really weird, man! Who ARE you
guys?
- Boss falls after battle -
TOADBERT
Ohh YESSSS! I bet if we go into this hole, we'll be free!
STUFFWELL
Well, we were able to perform a dashing escape, weren't we? An
adventure-filled escape from a massive pink horror. That hulking
monstrostroid isn't moving anymore, is it? I would surmise that the
eggs supplied that with its energy. Yes, indeed.
TOADBERT
We better hurry and get these eggs back to the village where they
belong, by boogity! Wow! Seems like they somehow know they've all
made it home! C'mon everyone!
STUFFWELL
I suggest a return to the village to see what's happening/
- On the Way -
B. BOWSER
Listen up, lizards! I'm the one who saved you. Me! So make with the
gratitude, and the goodies too.
YOSHI (RED)
(Thanks a bunch, pal)
YOSHIS (BLUE AND YELLOW)
Thank you.
B. BOWSER
Grrr! This is NOT happening again! Lemme just guess, you're here for
the cookies? I scarfed 'em all before I let you touch a single crumb!
HORK! PLABTH! Urrrgh! BLAAAARF!
- Bowser spits out the shard -
YOSHI (BLUE)
(look, magic!)
YOSHI (RED)
It's amazing.
B. BOWSER
Oops! Whoa, no wonder! I forgot I'd eaten those. Wait, wha--what's
going on?
- The shard slams Baby Bowser into the air -
YEOW!
YOSHI (RED)
(Wow! Awesome! Our hero can fly! You're the best!)
STUFFWELL
For the love of luggage! Those shards hold a pugilistical power!
There's no record of this in my data banks. I believe we've made an
important discovery! I would wager that Toadbert's drawing contains
some special secret as well.
TOADBERT
Listen up, Yoshis! These guys here saved you, not that little piggie.
He was in an egg the whole time, by boogity!
YOSHI
Seriously?
TOADBERT
Yep. I saw it all. Every bit of it. These guys rock.
YOSHI (Pink)
(Oh wow.)
TOADBERT
Thanks, you guys. Seriously.
================================
PRINCESS PEACH CASTLE - Present
================================
GADD
Hey now, back at last. So you've got your hands on some Cobalt Star
Shards, hm? 2 of 'em?
STUFFWELL
We also have a picture that a Toad named Toadbert drew prior to the
memory being eradified.
GADD
hmm... ah. It looks like a sketch of the Shroob princess attacking
Princess Peach.
STUFFWELL
Yes, Princess Peach is holding off the alien scourge with the Cobalt
Star, but...
GADD
As we know, Princess Peach lost this battle, and the star shattered
into fragments. How did this all happen? Or did something unexpected
and just plain awful happen? Anyhoo, it hardly matters. You just find
the time hole and collect the Cobalt Star Shards. Oh, and that
reminds me, a new time hole has appeared on the third floor of the
castle. My readings indicate that this particular time hole is a
direct link to Peach's castle of old. Unfortunately, that castle's
under guard by the Shroobs. You boys canÕt get inside. So it looks
like you'll have to just concentrate on gathering Cobalt Star Shards
for now.
====================
GRITZY DESERT - Past
====================
- Mario and Luigi press the switch to open the palace door. Shroob
army chases after them and they hide behind a wall while the army
dash past them. A turtle appears -
??? Ha! You saps are all wet!
KYLIE
Waltz into the dome's front door and you're sure to get spotted and
carted away lickety split! What? Remember me, huh? Being the Koopa
Kronicle's reporter doll again has gotcha all goofy, does it? That's
right, Kylie Koopa's got your number! No time to chat! I got a hunch
this story's gonna be bigger than the Yoshi's island hoo-ha!
Here's the scoop. Princess Shroob's gonna be arriving here any minute
now! Yeah, there's gonna be a big to-do celebrating the conquer of
the Mushroom Kingdom! And that's just the fries, boys. Here's the
burger! Some other princess type's coming too! My sources indicate
this other damsel likes pink, and she MAY be royalty of some surf.
What? Princess Peach? The doll they're bringing here is Princess
Peach? Princess Peach came here and got pinched by Princess Shroob? I
gotta get this straight. You're snooping about trying to the adult
rescue Princess Peach? Sounds like balloon juice to me, fella... but
what a scoop it'd be if you're on the level! Alrighty then! You need
to get into the dome so you can nab the princess, right? Well, word
on the street is there's supposed to be a secret entrance around
here... word on the street ain't specific, though so I dunno about
its whereabouts. You're not getting in through here, regardless, so
you gotta find that secret entrance. Here's the only dirt I got: the
entrance is connected somehow to 4 desert statues.
====
DOME
====
KYLIE
Gee Whiz! You boys found the secret entrance after all! Colour me
bamboozled! No, listen and listen to me good! Princess Shroob should
be arriving any minute now! All the Shroobs are gathered on the other
side of this wall. Let's take a look-see through one of these
windows! Boy! Just look at 'em, fellas! Look at all them Shroobs!
- Shroobs gather in arena. Princess Shroob descends from the saucer.
She addresses the crowd in an unintelligible language -
EEEEK!
- A saucer drops Peach, hanging above a piranha plant, who gobbles
her -
YOINKS!
- Shroobs take Kylie away. After the boss fight, Mario and Luigi are
surrounded by Shroobs who smash through the floor sending the gang
down the hole -
KYLIE
Hey! What's the big idea? Unhand me, you clods! Ace timing, fellas!
Boogie up here and cut me loose, will ya?! Bust me out or I'm a snack
for sure! C'mon! We're pals, ain't we? I gave you the dirt on the
secret entrance, didn't I? Now it's your turn to be good eggs, or
it's curtains for me! C'mon, hurry up!
YOOOIKS!
KYLIE
Ow ow ow! I walloped my noggin but good. Hope my camera's not broken!
Hey! It's my whisker boys! Did you KO that overgrown veggie?! Good
deal! When that clown swallowed me down, I thought it was the big
sleep for sure! So give, fellas: did the big lug have that shard?
Why, it's the bees knees! Gaze at those sparkles long enough and you
feel. Ha... aha ha ha ha ha! I must be off my trolley... I need a
quick snoozer.
Anyway, what gives, whiskers? What're you gonna do when you get your
baubles together? You're quite the motley crew, but you make for GOLD
copy, no doubt about that! Good as you boys are, though. This dame's
got a lead that'll top anything you've EVER done!
- Kylie reveals a key -
That's right! I glommed onto a little Shroob property when the alien
boneheads grabbed me! Ain't that a thing of beauty? I think it's a
key to something inside the Shroob mothership. Who knows that this
beauty can do in the right keyhole? It's a mystery, all right... but
you can bet your last mushroom it'll be a scoop to stop the presser,
boys! Huh? You wanna know if I saw Princess Peach in that piranha
plant's belly? Believe it, fellas! Princess Peach was in there! But
when I got ate, she got spit out lickety split! I was all set for an
exclusive interview too! Raspberries! I'm pretty sure she's still
locked up in the caves somewheres! I suggest you fellas keep your
peepers peeled for her! As for me, I'm gonna try and put that key to
use! Which means it's time for me to say so long! Good luck,
whiskers! Oh yeah, I owe you one!
- In the next room -
???
Could... could it be? Is that you, Mario? Mario! Help! MARIOOO!
EEEEEK!

PRINCESS PEACH CASTLE - Present
===============================
TOADSWORTH (Past)
Oh, calamity! How DARE this fungus attach itself to our princess's
beautiful visage!
TOADSWORTH (Present)
I daresay I'm rather curious as to how the mushroom has affixed
itself as well.
TOADSWORTH (Past)
What a cruel jest this is. I get the chance to meet the adult
princess and... CURSES!
TOAD
I guess we'll just have to wait for it to rot and fall off. The
'Shroom I mean, not her face.
TOADSWORTH (Past)
ARE U WELL, MY DEAR?
- Baby Peach cries -
TOADSWORTH (Present)
Oh, now you've done it, you trumpeting old elephant! The young miss
is weeping again...
TOADSWORTH (Past)
A princess here... a princess there... no rest for me, I fear.
TOAD 2
Hey, the important thing is that the princess is safe. Come,
princess, why don't you lie down for a while?
==========================
THWOMP VOLCANO - TPVO
==========================
- In laboratory -
E.GADD (past)
Hmm... ah... hmm... hmm... ahh...
YOWZER! Oh, criminy. I have guests! I was so caught up in my research
I didn't notice you. The name's Elvin Gadd. I'm studying the Thwomps
history of this here mountain. How'd all these storytellers get here
and why're they so darn angry about everything? That ancient
mystery's the only thing that gets my brain all a-percolating.
Anyhoo, I'm studying the dirt and rocks and everything else about
this fine peak. I'm a bit slim on snacks and amenines, but feel free
to stay as long as you like, ok, boys? What's got you fellers so
riled? You're shaking the darn floor! The volcano's erupted? Heh heh
heh! Riight. YOWZER! Erupted? Did you say ERUPTED? What? It just blew
its top a few moments ago? Why didn't you say so?! What are you
waiting for?
- A Thwomp crashes down into the lab -
WE'RE UNDER FIRE, BOYS! All my experiment results are gonna be
destroyed. Oh, criminy! That fiery Thwomp is gonna explode! We gotta
put that thing out before my whole place goes up! Wait. Water...
Water goes splash... splashing douses fire... something... I feel
something percolating in my brain!
GADD (Present)
Yowzer! My memories... why, the memories of my youth have been...
they've been rearranged! Wha-what's this now? Can it be... that's it!
GADD (Past)
Thanks for playing firemen, fellers, but it looks like this lab's
done for. Don't sweat it, though. I hear there's an affordable lab at
the edge of Boo Woods. I think I'll relocate that for a time. I have
a hankering to do some paranormal research. Now listen boys, it's
dangerous for all of you to stay here. I have an inkling I'll be
seeing you again, soon, bye!
STUFFWELL
Mario! I'm receiving a message from the future Prof. E. Gadd!
- Can you hear me, fellers? I've just completed the most marvellous
invention! Yep, this incredible machine will put a stop to any
volcanic eruption no matter how great. The inspiration just came out
of nowhere, as all great ones do. I call it the Hyrdogush 4000! As
the name should tell you, it has horse power to spare. You're dying
to see it, huh? OK! I'll send you a little sample floor through the
time hole. Hang on, fellers! -
GADD
If you just tap here...
- Gadd pumps water into the time hole, dousing the volcanic flames -
Heh! Awe inspiring, wasn't it? Well, show-and-tell's over. I just
wanted to show off. Talk to you fellers later!
STUFFWELL
The paradoxicated implications are REALLY profound, but at least we
can enter the crater.

MRS. THWOMP
Aw, Sweetie, Cheer up!
THWOMP
Cheer gone. No more cheer.
MRS. THWOMP
Don't be like that, thwumpling. There's still some fire left. Jump on
in there!
Hey! It was you imps, wasn't it? You're the ones who doused the
volcano with all that water! Own up! I mean, look at you! You're
obviously all plumbers. Thanks to your meddling, my hubby's in a
stone funk! Jumping into the volcano was his hobby, you terrible men!
We've been waiting for the annual eruption all year!
THWOMP
Volcano with no fire... Not you... just mountain.
MRS. THWOMP
Are you hearing this? This is all YOUR fault! So give! Give us back
our fun! You gonna help? Speak up! You're not, are you, you bugs?!
Then I'll treat you like bugs! No you go SQUISH!
- After battle -
MRS. THWOMP
Thwompie-pie... they beat me...
THWOMP
STUPID MEN! TREAT LADIES NICE!
MRS. THWOMP
Oh, honey- thwump! You're out of your funk!
THWOMP
Huh? You save pretty lady? You jump into volcano to save pretty lady?
You young... and not too bright. Bright noses, but dumb heads. Still,
saving pretty lady is important job. You. You guys are really going
in? We go into mountain! Not you, but still OK. You four jump on me.
MRS. THWOMP
Oh, how exciting! Take me with you, too, sugar-thwomp!
THWOMP
You... too heavy.
MRS. THWOMP
EX-EXCUSE me?! How DARE you? Jerk!
==================
- In the volcano -
==================
THWOMP
Oomph! She scary. I pay for that. Pretty lady you look for in this
place... she stolen?
===========================
- Bowser's lair (Volcano) -
===========================
BOWSER
Bwah ha ha! This place is a pit. It's hot, stinky, dangerous and one
humongous fire hazard? I LOVE IT! Talk about a perfect place for me
to build a second castle!
- Baby Bowser falls in -
B. BOWSER
This place is sooo nasty! Boiling hot, reeking, and just made for
trouble! Talk about awesome! This is the EXACT place to build my
second castle!
B. BOWSER and BOWSER
Hey! You there!
BOWSER
This place belongs to ME, you twerp!
B. BOWSER
Take off, gramps! This place is MINE! Grrr! You look familiar! Yeah,
you look just like a bigger, fatter me! You copycat!
BOWSER
You're the copycat! You can walk like me and talk like me, but you
ain't me. You're just a shrimpy brat!
B. BOWSER
You're one rude dude, tubby! Who raised ya, chain chomps?
BOWSER
Me? You're the one with the bad attitude, Goomba breath! You'll never
amount to nothin'!
====================
- Volcano entrance -
====================
THWOMP
Mmm... very long story. But understood. Big Bowser is in the bottom
of the volcano.
- Bottom of the volcano -
B. BOWSER
Don't think I got punted off Yoshi's Island like some scrub! No way!
I LEFT! On my terms! And now I'm here getting ready to launch the
revenge scheme to end all revenge schemes!
BOWSER
Bwa ha! This little firebrand reminds me of a younger me. Look at
him! This kid's got a flair for evil! I'm bringing him on board as my
partner and the two of us are gonna trash you losers!
B. BOWSER
This is the real deal! Winner takes all!
- After battle -
BOWSER and B. BOWSER
CRUD!
- The volcano erupts, sending the koopas up and out of the volcano. A
saucer knocks Bowser away -
BOWSER
GLAAAAAARRGH! Little dude! Get stronger and more evil. Always!
B. BOWSER
Big dude! I'm gonna be even bigger, stronger and eviller than you
someday!
- Bowser falls into the time hold and lands on mothership. Mothership
sucks Princess Peach and the gang onto it -
STUFFWELL
Travesty! Princess Peach is nowhere to be seen! Perhaps she's been
taken further into the ship. We MUST find her.
PRINCESS SHROOB
I am Princess Shroob. You interlopers will be consumed.
- A Shroob blasts away the others, snapping photos and revealing
herself as Kylie -
KYLIE
Gee whiz! You were in the frying pan but good, weren't you, boys? Who
knows what woulda been your fate if a certain gorgeous reporter
weren't around? Well, you scratched my back, whiskers, I scratched
yours! Now we're all square... say, by the way, fellas, did you
really think that was the real Princess Peach the whole time? Hate to
break it to you, boys, but that was Princess Shroob!
What's that? You took that dame through a time hole to the future
Mushroom Kingdom? Gee whiz, I gotta say, fellas, I'm all back-to-
front on this whole can of wigglers! Are you saying you think that
was Princess Shroob's plan all along? Talk about a twist! Yeah, she
sets herself up as Princess Peach and infiltrates Peach's castle in
the future. What she's really after... is the chance to conquer the
Mushroom Kingdom of our time, too! The gall of this gal! But things
didn't work out so well for our Ms. Purple poison now, did they? If
that lump, Bowser, if that's what you call him, hadn't gotten himself
into the mix... oh I'm just blowing hot air over here!
- Kylie pulls out a key -
Remember this little beauty? Yeah, sure you do! It just may be the
key to victory, whiskers! This dame's got a hunch... at day's end...
this will be the biggest, bestest scoop in the history of scoops!
Show a little get-up-and-go, whiskers! It's gravy time! Feast your
peepers on my big break! Look, fellas! You can bet your whiskers this
is where the key goes!
- Inserts the key into the machine -
And now, at long last... the secret of the shard... the scoop of a
lifetime. Ah-ha. The mystery of the scoop. Let's see it.
AW RASPBERRIES! We're done for!
- The gang fall through the floor hatch. Kylie clings onto the key -
Nooo! Why? Why does everything always come up lemons? SOMEBODY HELP!
SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP!
- Princess Shroob and her army arrives -
Wh-what gives? Put that Shroob down! YOIKS!
- Kylie falls -
B. BOWSER
GWAH HA! What's all the racket about? Somebody eating cookies in
there? I'm starving up here! Here I come, cookie hogs! HEE-YAAAARGH!
- Baby Bowser falls through -

YOSHI'S ISLAND

TOADBERT
We've got to repair the village, by boogity! Ooh, that image keeps
popping up in my brain, know what I decided? I'm having fun with the

KYLIE
Whatta escape... and whatta drop!
TOADBERT

STAR HILL  - SRHL
=================
STUFFWELL
We seem to have arrived on Star Hill. The Cobalt Star continues to be
very agitatified. DANGER! Alert! Danger! The Cobalt Star's become SO
disturbed that I am rapidly losing control of it! We must summit this
hill with the greatest of speed! The source of the Cobalt Star's
irritation must be somewhere in the immediate vicinity.
- Peak -
STUFFWELL
This is it! This is the place! My sensors are picking up tremendulous
levels of Cobalt Star readings!
STAR SPRITE
I am the Star Sprite that likes within the Cobalt Star. I have tapped
into the sacred power of this hill so that I might speak with you...
I think you may have already figured this out, but I hold the power
to defeat the Shroobs. However, Princess Shroob also know this
truth... she broke me while battling Princess Peach. Mario, Luigi...
Young Babies...you  are the last remaining hope to save this kingdom.
But please, you must hurry... my pieces must all be brought together
once more... If you collect 2 of the 3 shards that still remain,
you'll be able to pierce the barrier that guards Princess Peach's
castle. And then, when you collect the last shard, you will become
the heroes of this land. Now hurry! Collect the remaining shards. I
