Quick Start Guide

“Mario, please come to the castle. I’ve
baked a cake for you.
Yours truly, Princess Toadstool.”
“Wow, an invitation from Peach! I’ll
head out right away. I hope she can wait
for me!”
Mario is so excited to receive the invitation from the Princess,
who lives in the Mushroom Castle, that he quickly dresses in his
best and leaves right away.
“Hmmm, something’s not quite
right here . . . It’s so quiet . . .”
Shaking off his uneasy premonition, Mario steps into the silent castle,
where he is greeted by the gruff words,
“No one’s home! Now scram! Bwa, ha, ha.”
The sound seems to come from everywhere.
“Who’s there?! I’ve heard that voice
somewhere before . . .”
Mario begins searching all over the cast-
le. Most of the doors are locked, but fin-
ding one open, he peeks inside.
Hanging on the wall is the
largest painting he has ever seen, and
from behind the painting comes the
strangest sound that he has ever
heard...
“I think I hear someone calling.
What secrets does this painting
hold?”
Without a second thought, Mario jumps at the painting.
As he is drawn into it, another world opens before his very eyes.
And so begins the grandest of all adventures!
