Beanbean Travels

By Larry Von Koopa

PROLOGUE

It's a normal day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is lying in his bed, playing his Nintendo DS, when suddenly Toad bursts into the room and snatches the console from him.

Mario: What-a are you doing?

Toad: Princess wants you. Can't talk any more. Playing game.

Mario: Yeesh-a!

Mario jumps towards Peach's Castle, walks in, runs to the throne room, and skids to a halt next to the princess.

Mario: What-a do you want-a?

Toadsworth: Mr. Mario, we have just received a letter from the Beanbean Kingdom...

Toad: Yup.

Toadsworth: ...And it seems that they want to speak to the princess here. Because of what happened last time...

Toad: Yeah?

Toadsworth: ... We're scared...

Mario: ... And you-a want me to come-a?

Princess Peach: If you could, Mario, it would be lovely.

Toadsworth: Indeed.

Toad: Sock it to me!

Mario jumps on Toad's head and steals back his DS.

Princess Peach: So... Mario. Can you please come?

Mario: Yeah, whatever-a.

Toad: Let's go then! The royal plane is ready for departure!

Random Duplighost: Give it to 'dem, brudda Toad!

Goomba: Yeah! Yeah! Yay!

Mario jumps on the Goomba's head, steals its coin, and then kicks Princess Peach in the face.

Princess Peach: Mario, what was that for?

Mario: Oh... You're the real-a one! Wait a mo'!

Toad: M-Mario! Stay back!

Mario stomps on the Toad, and the random Duplighost backs away slowly. A Toad pilot runs in and stops in front of Princess Peach.

Toad Pilot: Come this way, Princess!

Will Mario and the rest make it safely to the Beanbean Kingdom? Find out in Chapter 1 of Beanbean Travels!
 

CHAPTER 1: Voyage to the BeanBean Kingdom!

Mario, Princess Peach, and Toadsworth are sitting in chairs within the Royal Plane. A Toad airhost runs in and trips over a banana that was sitting on the floor.

Banana: Hey, watch it!

Host: Sorry! But Sirs and Miss! Our radar shows that there are two unidentified objects following us!

Princess Peach: What?

Host: It's true!

Toadsworth: Take evasive action, then!

Host: We... have NONE!

Mario runs to the cockpit and checks the radar. The objects are getting closer, so Mario uses his hammer to break out of the plane.

Pilot Toad: No, Mario! NO!

Co-Pilot: You heard 'im! Don't do tha...

Suddenly everyone is sucked out of the plane, just as the objects hit it. Pieces of metal are launched everywhere. One hits Toad.

Mario: Yes!

A huge, metal arm grabs Peach and pulls her back. Everybody looks up and sees the Koopa Cruiser, which launches a missile.

Mario: No!

Toad: Argh!

Toadsworth: I need ma' vittles!

The missile explodes and knocks them all unconscious, apart from Toad, who is now soaring to the sea under a scrap of metal.

Banana: I'm still conscious!

Toadsworth: So am I!

Toad Pilot: ...

Mario: ...

Co-Pilot: Sock it to me!

When Mario finally awakes, he is lying next to a purple cliff with half a plane and some passengers.

Toadsworth: Mario?

Mario: Yes-a?

Toadsworth: Do you know what you have to do?

Mario: I think-a I know...

Co-Pilot: You have to save Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil Lord Bowser!

Mario: I better get going-a then. But where are we?

Toadsworth: It appears we are in Stardust Fields.

Mario: Does that-a mean I have to go through Hoohoo Mountain?

Toadsworth: No. Luckily, we managed to land right above a river.

Mario: So?

Toadsworth: We can use Banana as a boat to sail into the Castle Town!

Banana: Even though I don't want to...

Toad Pilot: Let's go to Castle Town!

Everyone jumps onto the banana and hops off the cliff, landing in the river.

Mario: Yay-a!

Toadsworth: Let's go, then!

Banana: Choke! Splutter!

Mario: Shut up!

After a long journey, Mario leaps off the half-dead Banana and walks through Castle Town, followed by Toadsworth and the pilots.

Mario: Let's-a go! The castle is-a this way!

Co-Pilot: Okay!

Toadsworth: Is it just me or does the town look a little... different?

Mario: You're right! They're selling new Mushrooms at the shop!

Toadsworth: I mean the town has been blown to bits.

Mario: Oh. Yeah, I guess that is different too.

Everyone walks to the castle and sees the two guards lying on the ground.

Mario: Yeesh. Sleeping on the job.

Toadsworth: Mario, they're unconscious!

Mario: So-a?

Co-Pilot: Groan...

They all walk in and see Queen Bean sitting on the floor.

Toadsworth: What's wrong, Miss?

Queen Bean: Prince Peasley has been kidnapped and taken to Chucklehuck Woods!

Mario: Oh!

Queen Bean: Mario?

Mario: Yes-a?

Queen Bean: Since you're here, could you possibly... save Peasley?

Toadsworth: He'd be honored!

Mario: What?

Queen Bean: Wonderful! When can you leave?

Mario: Well...

Toadsworth: Immediately!

Mario: Grr...

Queen Bean: Thank you very much, Mario! So very much!

Toad: I'll come too!

Mario: I thought you drowned!

Toad: So did I...

Mario: Well, we better go...

Toad: Okay! Come on! Hop to it!

They both walk out of the castle, and Mario pushes Toad over.

Queen Bean: Oh, he's such a dear!

Toadsworth: I know, I know!

Will they save Peasley from Chucklehuck Woods? Find out in Chapter 2 of Beanbean Travels!
 

CHAPTER 2: Peasley in the Forest

Mario and Toad are aimlessly walking in Chucklehuck Woods.

Toad: Can you guess what word I'm thinking of? And it's not kitty.

Mario: I don't know-a. I give up.

Toad: It is kitty! Can you guess what word I'm thinking of now? And it's not kitty.

Mario: Is it-a kitty?

Toad: GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Toad runs around in circles and smashes into a tree, causing Beanies to fall out.

Mario: Oh-a, come on! We just got-a into this place!

Toad: I don't want to feed grandma bacon in the fridge...

Beanie 1: Is your friend drunk?

Mario: Yeah... If you attack him, he won't hurt you-a back. Get him.

Beanie 2: Come on, Fred! Let's pulverize 'im!

Toad: Superman could eat the goat on the loo...

Mario runs away while Toad is attacked by two rabid beans.

Mario: Finally... I think-a I ditched him.

???: But you found me!

Mario: Who are you?

???: I'm Doopliss, you twerp.

Mario: Oh, yeah-a.

Doopliss: I know where Peasley is!

Mario: Where?

Doopliss: I don't want to tell you!

Mario: What do I-a have to do?

Doopliss: Beat me in another fight, Slick!

Mario: Of course...

Toad: Mario... You... Monster...

Toad runs at Mario and trips him up.

Mario: Toad, we-a have to beat Doopliss so that he tells us where Peasley is!

Toad: Fine. But afterwards, I'm getting you.

Doopliss: Let's play then!

Doopliss flies up and then dives at Mario, knocking him back.

Mario: You will-a pay for that!

Toad: Mario, hit him with your hammer!

Mario: Okay!

Doopliss hops back and trips over, just as Mario leaps up and whacks him with his mallet.

Doopliss: Spare me! I'll tell you where Peasley is!

Toad: Where?

Doopliss: He's in the cave, just over there!

Mario: Good! Let's-a go!

Toad: Sock it to me!

Mario: Stop saying that.

Mario and Toad run to the cave nearby and enter, just to have a gate shut behind them.

Doopliss: FOOLS! You're so gullible! But just so you know, Peasley is in there... or at least the NEW Peasley is! Mwa ha ha!

Toad: You fiend! We'll save Peasley, no matter what!

Mario: We may-a as well keep going...

Toad: Fine... We must save Peasley!

They both walk down the path, when suddenly a huge Beanie falls down and squishes Toad.

Mario: Yes!

Beanie: Murgle wargle moo!

Toad: Mario, I'm going to get you...

The giant Beanie runs at Mario, who jumps up and hits it with his hammer.

Mario: You're-a going to lose!

Toad: WHY DON'T YOU HELP?

Mario: Quiet, Toad. We're fighting.

Beanie: Splurga hurga koo!

The Beanie pushes Mario back and bites him.

Toad: You're in for it, Beanie!

Beanie: Joo joo?

Mario: What are you-a doing?

Toad jumps and pushes the Beanie over, then starts chucking rocks at it.

Toad: Grr... Jump on me, will you?

Mario: Stop it! It's changing!

Toad: ... And?

Suddenly the monster turns into the one, the only... PRINCE PEASLEY!

Prince Peasley: Mario, is that you? Have you saved me yet again? Ha ha ha ha!

Mario: Yup, it's-a me!

Prince Peasley: And who is this little friend?

Toad: I'm Toad! It's an honor, sir!

Mario: Can you-a take us back to the castle on that bean-thing?

Prince Peasley: Indeed, fine friends. But we mustn't dawdle! Let's go!

They finally make it back to the castle, and find Queen Bean waving outside.

Queen Bean: Cooee!

Prince Peasley: Hello, Mother!

Toadsworth: Ahoy, Mario! Congratulations!

Toad: I feel sick...

Mario: Be quiet-a!

They all hop off of the bean-thing and walk over to the others.

Queen Bean: Mario, you marvelous lad! You saved him!

Toad: Me too...

Toadsworth: Shush, boy!

Queen Bean: While you were away, we traced the location of Bowser and Peach...

Mario: Yes?

Queen Bean: ... But we were unsuccessful. However, we know where you can find out exactly where that monster is.

Mario: Where-a is it?

Queen Bean: Woohoo Hooniversity!

Mario: Perfect!

Toadsworth: However, there has been a recent attack on the building. Two Bowser Missiles have hit it. We need you to save it!

Toad: Of course! We can go immediately, sir!

Toadsworth: Good! Then off you shall go! Goodbye, boys!

Mario: Bye-a!

Will Mario and Toad save Woohoo Hooniversity? Find out in Chapter 3 of Beanbean Travels!
