It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's SUPER MARIO! (1980's Arcade Challenge)

How did I get into this mess?

I’m a plumber, for God’s sake! Not a hero!

Then again, at least I have a backbone, unlike those spineless twerps back at the castle. Their princess gets kidnapped by some freaking mutant Gammera-wannabe, and what do they do? Just stand there!

Well, at least I can make some cash on this little side trip. Just hope my insurance company doesn’t find out about this!

Okay, so they went this way. His trail isn’t to hard to follow. Thank God I used to be a boy scout. Those tracking and reptile biology merit badges will be useful.

Wait. What’s that. It’s… It’s… What the hell is that?!

You have got to be kidding me! It’s a bloody mushroom with legs! Holy cats, the damned thing has teeth, too! I gotta hide. I gotta…

Hold on. It’s like 1/2 my size!

That was easy. Oh. More of them. A lot more! Wait… What’s that…

Oh, dude! Magic mushrooms! I’m not gonna care how many mushrooms and turtles there are!

Woah! I’m twice my size!

It’s stompin’ time!
