One day, now it seems so long ago, a plumber by the name of Mario was warped to an alternate dimension by way of a magical drain pipe forever changing the life he once knew. Thrown into a land of turmoil known as the Mushroom Kingdom he found himself amongst a nation enslaved by the tyrant Bowser who, I might add, had stolen the rightful air to the thrown Princess Peach. This new land was a wondrous place, a kind of mesh of aristocratic lifestyles, mysterious technologies, and ancient magic. Having been a product of Italian mob-esq influences, Mario quickly surrounded himself with a small group of rebellious individuals ready to fight the oppression of Bowser's mighty koopa army. Ruthless tactics such as stomping heads were quickly employed by Mario and his followers, it’s even been said that they would burn their enemies alive given the chance. After a long an arduous trek across enumerable terrains the rebels were finally able to storm the great castle of the Koopa Empire saving the princess from the clutches of the dastardly fiend Bowser. But this is only the beginning of our story as now that the princess has returned she will stop at nothing to bring down the evil empire to free the land of its ever looming grip. The adventure begins again with Peach and Mario’s quest for retribution, justice, and VENGENCE!
