Course 8: Shifting Sand Land

Star 1: In the Talons of the Big Bird

By Hip

Mario and Luigi are in the basement chasing MIPS the rabbit.

MIPS: Haha hehe! You'll never catch me!

Luigi: Mario, we've been chasing this guy for ten minutes! Let's stop!

Mario: But we need his Star!

MIPS: You'll never catch me or put up with my tricks!

Luigi: Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids! Not plumbers!

MIPS: Well, this way then!

MIPS leads the Marios into a dead end near Lethal Lava Land.

MIPS: Oh no, I'm stuck!

Mario and Luigi dive at MIPS but miss and go flying into the wall, which leads them elsewhere.

MIPS: So long, suckers!

The Marios fall on the ground in Shifting Sand Land.

Voice: Welcome to Shifting Sand Land! The first Star is in the talons of the big bird! Good luck!

Luigi: This makes no sense! We jump into an ordinary wall and end up in this desert?

Mario: Must've been hidden to keep people out. Who'd try jumping into an ordinary wall?

Luigi: What did that voice say to do?

Mario: It said their is a Star in the talons of the big bird!

Luigi: Isn't he that big yellow guy on Sesame Street?

Mario: I doubt it!

Luigi: Well we can't see much on this side of that sand dune. Let's get on top of that pavilion and have a look around.

The Marios run over to the pavilion and triple jump on top of it. Mario points to a condor holding a Star.

Mario: There's your bird, Luigi! A condor named Clepto!

Luigi: How come you know his name?

Mario: Don't question me on that, Luigi!

Luigi: So how are we supposed to reach him?

Mario: Well, that I'm not so sure on!

Luigi: Mario, look up!

They look up and see a red ! Block and a yellow one. Mario bashes the red ! Block and a Wing Cap falls out. He puts it on.

Mario: Here we go!

Luigi hits the Yellow ! Block and a Koopa Shell falls out. Luigi jumps on it.

Mario: Let's-a go!

Luigi rides the shell over towards Clepto as Mario flies overhead. Luigi then gets picked up by a tornado and loses his shell and goes flying.

Luigi: Mario! Help!

Mario flies over to Luigi and grabs him.

Luigi: Thanks!

They fly over towards Clepto and Luigi drops down on top of him, causing him to drop the Star. It flies over to a clearing between the two pillars near the oasis.

Clepto: Squawk! Get off of me, plumber!

Luigi: But I'll fall in the quicksand!

Clepto: I don't care, you're giving me a headache!

Luigi: Mario! Get the Star!

Clepto manages to shake Luigi off and he falls in the quicksand as Mario flies at the Star and we hear the Star music.

Mario: Here we go!

Luigi quickly sinks.

Luigi: Onto the next-

The quicksand muffles Luigi's voice.
