Mario! Thank goodness you're here! We heard an explosion or something at Bowser's Keep. It was so loud I almost dropped my spores!!! Uh...excuse me? W...where's the Princess? She departed for your house house HOURS ago...! I fear the worst! Could Bowser somehow be behind all of this?

Spores alive!!! You're telling us that Bowser has abducted the Princess AGAIN? Nevermind. It will be up to you to enter the keep and rescue Princess Toadstool!

Princess! You CAN'T be serious! You're NOT thinking of joining them, ARE YOU? This is sheer madness... You're a Princess! What will people say?
