In the comic, [[Mario]] plans a vacation adventure to Egypt, but his enjoyment in seeing the African desert is quickly squashed as [[Bowser]] throws Mario out of the plane. Mario plummets toward the ground, eventually landing on the [[Sphinx (monument)|Sphinx]], breaking off its nose. Mario is swiftly arrested and imprisoned in a pyramid by the local Egyptians. Mario then traverses a great maze to try and escape to freedom. After many traps and obstacles, Mario finally crashes his way out of the pyramid and then searches the hot desert for something to drink. Finally, after unsuccessfully finding refreshment, Mario wakes up in his bed to find that it was all a dream. However, the comic leaves it open as to whether it was a dream or a true event, as a chest Mario tried to open in the pyramid is seen in his house. | ||
